Solution Overview

Problem

Display panels suffer from issues of image sticking and smear due to excessive data voltage applied to the gate of drive transistors, causing shifts in transistor characteristics and hysteresis effects.

Innovation Solution

A display control method and apparatus that determines a target register value for gray level 0 by adjusting a reference register value based on a reference gray level, allowing the data voltage for gray level 0 to be determined according to the actual requirements of the display panel, thereby avoiding excessive voltage and reducing image sticking and smear.

1Illumination intensity

If higher VGMP is directly selected as data voltage at gray level 0, then brightness requirement is met, but image sticking and smear occur due to excessive voltage causing transistor characteristic shifts

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of data voltage for gray level 0 from a fixed high value (VGMP) to an adjustable value determined by actual display requirements. By modifying the register value parameter, the system optimizes the voltage level to meet brightness requirements while avoiding excessive voltage that causes image sticking and smear.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment of the register value for gray level 0, allowing the data voltage to be adapted based on actual display panel characteristics and requirements. This dynamic approach replaces the static fixed voltage assignment, enabling optimization of both brightness and image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If reference register value is adjusted to determine target register value for gray level 0, then data voltage is optimized according to actual requirements, but additional processing steps are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary determination of the target register value for gray level 0 based on reference register values from other gray levels. This preliminary action allows the system to pre-calculate optimal voltage parameters during initialization or calibration, avoiding the need for complex real-time adjustments during normal display operation.
