Solution Overview

Problem

In conventional display devices, the difference in luminous efficiency between red and blue pixels leads to varying driving voltages, causing power consumption to increase when pixels of different colors are driven by the same data line.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate design where pixel driving circuitries in the same column are electrically coupled to a same data line, ensuring each data line provides a consistent voltage for a specific color, with anodes of light-emission elements coupled to corresponding pixel driving circuitries to emit light in the appropriate color, and connection lines facilitate electrical coupling between anodes and pixel driving circuitries.

1Productivity

If data lines in odd-numbered columns drive red pixels and blue pixels, then the display device can achieve full-screen coverage and high resolution, but the driving voltage jumps when pixels of different colors are driven by the same data line, leading to a square-level increase in power consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data line driving function by color. Instead of having odd-numbered data lines drive both red and blue pixels, the invention assigns specific data lines to specific colors (odd-numbered data lines drive red pixels, even-numbered data lines drive blue pixels). This segmentation eliminates voltage jumps on the same data line and reduces power consumption while maintaining high resolution display capability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data line driving function by color. Instead of having odd-numbered data lines drive both green and other color pixels, the invention assigns specific data lines to specific colors (odd-numbered data lines drive green pixels, even-numbered data lines drive other color pixels). This segmentation eliminates voltage jumps on the same data line and reduces power consumption while maintaining full-screen coverage.
