Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices experience voltage drop phenomena in driving voltage, leading to luminance non-uniformity and increased power consumption due to varying luminance across different areas of the display panel.

Innovation Solution

A gamma voltage compensation circuit is employed, which includes a feedback driving voltage generating circuit and a reference voltage conversion circuit to generate high and low reference voltages based on feedback driving voltages, compensating for voltage drops by supplying these voltages through multiple lines to a reference gamma voltage generating circuit and ultimately to the data driving circuit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single driving voltage is supplied to the display panel, then the circuit structure is simple, but voltage drop occurs causing luminance non-uniformity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit structureVSAvoidluminance uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single driving voltage supply into multiple voltage lines (first voltage line and second voltage line) that separately supply voltages to different regions of the display panel. This segmentation allows independent voltage control for different areas, compensating for voltage drops and achieving uniform luminance across the panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different driving voltages to different regions of the display panel based on their specific requirements. The first voltage line supplies voltage to a first region while the second voltage line supplies voltage to a second region, allowing each region to receive the optimal voltage level for uniform luminance display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If voltage drop compensation is implemented, then luminance uniformity is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance uniformityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the driving voltages supplied through the first and second voltage lines based on the actual voltage drops detected in different regions. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to compensate for voltage drops while minimizing unnecessary power consumption by only increasing voltage where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms to monitor voltage drops in real-time and adjust the driving voltages accordingly. By using feedback information about actual voltage conditions, the system can precisely compensate for voltage drops without excessive power consumption, optimizing the balance between luminance uniformity and energy efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
