Flexible Display Panel Partial Driving for Uniform Luminance

The patent applies dynamics by making the emission cycle configuration variable based on the folding state. When the display is folded, the system dynamically adjusts to use only specific emission cycles (e.g., 1st and 3rd) for the visible region, while keeping the total number of emission cycles constant. This dynamic reconfiguration maintains stable power supply voltage and uniform luminance in the visible area while reducing overall power consumption by not activating pixels in the folded region.

The patent segments the emission cycles into distinct groups (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th emission cycles) and selectively activates only certain segments based on the display's folding state. In partial driving mode, only specific segments are used for the visible region, while other segments are deactivated for the folded region. This segmentation allows independent control of different display regions, maintaining luminance uniformity in the active region while reducing power consumption.

The system dynamically adapts its emission cycle configuration based on the folding state. When folded, it transitions from using all emission cycles across the full panel to using only specific emission cycles for the visible region. This dynamic adaptation maintains a constant number of active pixel rows in the visible area, ensuring stable power supply voltage while enabling portable folded configurations.

The patent extracts or removes the emission cycles that correspond to the folded, non-visible region from the active display configuration. By taking out the unnecessary emission cycles for the hidden area, the system maintains a consistent number of emitting pixel rows in the visible region, thereby stabilizing the power supply voltage while enabling the flexible folded form factor.

The system dynamically reconfigures which emission cycles are active based on the visible region. In partial driving mode, it maintains a constant number of emission cycles for the visible area (e.g., using 1st and 3rd cycles for half the panel), which stabilizes the power supply voltage and ensures uniform luminance. Simultaneously, it reduces energy consumption by deactivating emission cycles corresponding to the folded, non-visible region.

The patent applies local quality by providing different emission cycle configurations to different regions of the display. The visible region maintains a consistent number of active emission cycles for uniform luminance, while the folded region has its emission cycles deactivated. This localized control achieves both energy efficiency and luminance uniformity in the active display area.
