Light Emitting Display Pixel Compensation for MPRT Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In light emitting display apparatuses, the delay in motion picture response time (MPRT) leads to unclear images due to inconsistent black image display across pixels, caused by varying degrees of degradation in driving transistors and distortion of reference voltages.
Innovation Solution
A light emitting display apparatus that generates black image data voltages based on characteristic values of each pixel, including threshold voltage variations, to ensure uniform black image display and reduce reference voltage distortion, thereby maintaining image quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the same black image data voltage is supplied to all pixels, then the reference voltage line can be kept simple, but dimming occurs in portions of the display due to varying transistor degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by setting different black image data voltages for different pixels based on their individual characteristics. Specifically, the black image data voltage for each pixel is adjusted according to the threshold voltage of its driving transistor, ensuring that each pixel receives a customized voltage that compensates for its specific degradation level. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining uniform black image display across the panel without requiring complex reference voltage line modifications.
2Productivity
If a black image data voltage is supplied to a data line, then the black image can be displayed, but the reference voltage supplied through the parallel reference voltage line is shaken (distorted)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a compensation mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the data line voltage changes and the reference voltage. By detecting the voltage change in the data line when black image data is supplied and applying an equal and opposite voltage change to the reference voltage line, the system cancels out the coupling effect. This mediator approach maintains both the black image display capability and the reference voltage stability simultaneously.
3Reliability
If the reference voltage is shaken, then the voltage at the source of the driving transistor is shaken, but normal image display is maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the actual voltage state of the data line is continuously monitored, and based on this feedback, the reference voltage is dynamically adjusted. When black image data voltage is supplied causing a voltage change in the data line, the system detects this change and applies a compensating voltage to the reference voltage line. This closed-loop feedback ensures that the reference voltage remains stable despite voltage fluctuations in the data line, maintaining both functionality and precision.
