Electronic Paper Display Data Processing Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic paper display apparatus driving methods are inefficient in data processing as they can only compare the gray tone of one pixel between frames at a time, leading to uncompetitive performance in displaying image frames.
Innovation Solution
The method involves converting a first look-up table into a second look-up table and merging current and previous frames into a combined frame, allowing the data processor to generate image data by looking up the third grayscale digital code combination, which includes both frames, thereby improving data processing efficiency.

If the data processor compares gray tones of one pixel at a time between frames, then the processing method is simple, but the data processing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple pixel data processing operations into a single unified process. By combining the current frame and previous frame into a combined frame with interleaved pixel columns, and converting the first look-up table into a second look-up table that stores combined grayscale digital code combinations, the system processes multiple pixels simultaneously in one operation rather than comparing one pixel at a time, thereby significantly improving data processing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the processing approach from sequential single-pixel comparison to parallel multi-pixel processing by reorganizing data in a new dimensional structure. The combined frame interleaves pixel columns from current and previous frames, and the second look-up table is restructured to map combined grayscale code combinations directly to drive signals, enabling dimensional expansion of processing capacity
