Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional field sequence display methods in LCD panels cause abnormal color-mixing due to long liquid crystal response times and inability to control image display at different regions, leading to degraded visual experience.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a pre-charging control module in the gate driving units of the display panel to pre-charge pixel units before image display, minimizing grayscale value differences between sub-frame images through controlled pre-charging signals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If conventional field sequence display method is used to turn on R/G/B LEDs one field at a time, then color image display effect is achieved, but liquid crystal response time becomes too long causing abnormal color-mixing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor display effectVSAvoidliquid crystal response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-charging the liquid crystal before the actual image display. A pre-charging control module charges the liquid crystal to a preset voltage value before the field sequence display begins, so that when the display starts, the liquid crystal is already in a prepared state and can respond faster to voltage changes, reducing the response time and preventing abnormal color-mixing while maintaining good color display effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If conventional field sequence display method is used without regional control, then display implementation is simplified, but abnormal color-mixing occurs due to inability to control different regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay control structureVSAvoidimage display quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dividing the display into different regions and implementing different pre-charging strategies for different regions. The pre-charging control module can selectively apply pre-charging to specific regions based on their requirements, allowing regional control of the liquid crystal charging process. This improves image display quality by preventing abnormal color-mixing in specific regions while maintaining a manageable control structure through the modular pre-charging control module

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Duration of action of moving object

If pre-charging control module is added to gate driving units, then liquid crystal response time is reduced and abnormal color-mixing is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid crystal response timeVSAvoidgate driving unit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by integrating the pre-charging control module with the existing gate driving units. Instead of adding completely separate pre-charging circuitry, the pre-charging control functionality is merged into the gate driving unit structure, sharing common components and control pathways. This reduces the overall device complexity increase while still achieving the goal of reducing liquid crystal response time and preventing abnormal color-mixing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
