Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices experience screen flickering during the power-on stage due to instantaneous fluctuations in power signals, affecting the display effect.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a power management circuit and a display driving circuit in the non-display area, controlling the voltage difference between reset and power signals to ensure it is less than the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting elements, preventing light emission during the power-on stage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the power circuit provides power signals to the display panel during power-on, then the display panel can be initialized, but the power signals fluctuate and cause screen flickering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay stabilityVSAvoidscreen flickering
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by pre-controlling the voltage difference between reset and power signals during the power-on stage. The display driving circuit adjusts the reset signal voltage to ensure that the voltage difference between the reset signal and power signal remains below the turn-on voltage threshold of light-emitting elements, preventing unintended light emission and screen flickering before normal display operation begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Illumination intensity

If the driving circuit provides driving signals for 0-grayscale image, then the display panel displays black image, but power signal fluctuations cause the display device to flash

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblack image displayVSAvoiddisplay consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary control mechanism where the display driving circuit mediates between the power circuit and the light-emitting elements. By controlling the reset signal voltage to maintain a voltage difference below the turn-on threshold with respect to power signals, the driving circuit acts as an intermediary that prevents power signal fluctuations from directly affecting light emission, thereby ensuring display consistency during power-on.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If the voltage difference between reset signal and power signal exceeds turn-on voltage, then light-emitting elements emit light, but this causes screen flickering during power-on

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emissionVSAvoidpower-on stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the voltage level of the reset signal during the power-on stage. The display driving circuit modifies the reset signal voltage parameter to ensure that the voltage difference between reset and power signals remains below the turn-on voltage threshold of light-emitting elements, preventing unintended light emission and ensuring stable power-on behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
