Solution Overview

Problem

The effective charging time of the positive polarity voltage corresponding to a grayscale is less than the effective charging time of the negative polarity voltage in prior art display devices, leading to display uniformity issues.

Innovation Solution

A display device with an adjustment unit in the driving module that increases the voltage values of positive polarity voltages to compensate for the charging difference, outputting compensated positive polarity voltages to sub-pixels, thereby reducing the charging difference between positive and negative polarity voltages and improving display uniformity.

1Manufacturing precision

If the display panel uses dual-gate driving architecture with large size and high resolution, then the display quality is improved, but the charging rate becomes insufficient due to RC delay of wiring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidcharging rate
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by compensating for the RC delay effect in advance through waveform adjustment. The scanning signal waveform is pre-adjusted to account for the expected signal attenuation and distortion that will occur during transmission through the wiring, ensuring that the signal reaches the farthest pixels with adequate charging characteristics despite the RC delay of the wiring infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the scanning signal is transmitted through wiring with RC delay, then the display panel can be driven, but the waveforms of scanning signals and data signals are attenuated and distorted, especially at positions far from voltage output end

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the waveform parameters of the scanning signal to compensate for RC delay effects. Specifically, the rising edge slope and pulse width of the scanning signal are modified to ensure that despite signal attenuation and distortion during transmission through the wiring, the liquid crystal molecules still receive adequate charging voltage to achieve uniform display across the entire panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If data voltages switch between positive polarity voltage and negative polarity voltage to prevent polarization of liquid crystal molecules, then display uniformity should be maintained, but the effective charging time of positive polarity voltage is less than that of negative polarity voltage due to waveform distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquid crystal molecule polarization balanceVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by implementing asymmetric compensation for positive and negative polarity voltages. Since the waveform distortion affects positive and negative polarity signals differently, the patent adjusts the scanning signal waveform asymmetrically to ensure that both positive and negative polarity data voltages achieve equal effective charging times, thereby maintaining display uniformity despite the inherent asymmetry in RC delay effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
