Extending Display Region Driving Signal Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display panels with separate frame and extending display regions often exhibit miscoordinated colors or grey scales, affecting the overall display effect due to differing pixel structures and simpler display requirements in the peripheral region, making it difficult to achieve synchronized and effective display.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus comprising a display panel with first and second pixels in the frame and extending regions, respectively, utilizes a timing controller, data driving unit, and extending driving unit to generate specific driving signals based on frame data, ensuring the extending display region's effect aligns with the frame display region, thereby improving the overall display effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the peripheral display region displays colors or grey scales according to user configurations, then the display requirements are simplified, but the colors or grey scales become miscoordinated with the major display region screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the peripheral display region's colors or grey scales variable rather than fixed. The extending driving unit dynamically adjusts the display output of the peripheral region based on real-time frame data from the major display region, ensuring color coordination while maintaining simplified pixel structures. This resolves the contradiction by enabling adaptive display behavior.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback through the extending driving unit that receives frame data from the timing controller and uses it to adjust the peripheral display region's output. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that colors and grey scales in the peripheral region remain coordinated with the major display region, solving the coordination problem while preserving structural simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different pixel structures are used in frame and extending display regions, then the structure can be optimized for each region, but the driving control becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display panel into distinct frame display region and extending display region, each with optimized pixel structures. The extending driving unit is specifically designed to handle the peripheral region's simplified pixel structure, while the timing controller manages the major region. This segmented approach allows regional optimization without requiring complete system redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The extending driving unit serves as an intermediary between the timing controller and the peripheral display region. It receives frame data from the timing controller and translates it into appropriate driving signals for the extending display region's simplified pixels. This intermediary component reduces the complexity burden on the main control system while maintaining adaptability to different pixel structures.
3Ease of manufacture
If the extending display region uses simpler pixel structures, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the display effect coordination with frame region is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the driving signals sent to the peripheral display region based on the frame data from the major region. The extending driving unit modifies color and grey scale parameters in real-time to match the frame region's display output. This allows simpler pixel structures to achieve coordinated display effects through dynamic parameter adjustment rather than complex hardware design.
