Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable display products experience jitter and horizontal stripes due to frequent wake-up actions and temperature variations, affecting display quality by destabilizing the potential of the pull-down node in the gate driving circuit.

Innovation Solution

The gate driving circuit incorporates a first suppression module to reduce leakage current between the pull-down node and level signal terminal, maintaining the potential of the pull-down node during the conversion phase and preventing horizontal stripes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If frequent wake-up actions are performed in wearable display products, then the display can be activated on demand, but jitter and horizontal stripes occur due to potential instability of the pull-down node

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewake-up functionalityVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The first suppression module is configured to suppress the potential of the pull-down node before the wake-up phase begins. By pre-charging the pull-down node to a high potential level, the module prevents jitter and horizontal stripes from occurring during the subsequent wake-up operation, thereby maintaining display quality while enabling frequent wake-up actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The first pull-down node control module controls to charge the pull-down node to a high potential before the conversion phase starts. This preliminary charging action ensures that when the wake-up phase occurs, the pull-down node is already in a stable high-potential state, preventing display defects during the actual wake-up operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If the pull-down node potential is not stabilized during conversion phase, then the circuit operation is simple, but horizontal stripes and jitter occur affecting display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit structureVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The gate driving circuit is segmented into distinct functional modules: the first pull-down node control module responsible for charging the pull-down node, and the first suppression module responsible for maintaining its potential. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently, stabilizing the pull-down node potential during the conversion phase without requiring a complete redesign of the entire circuit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Use of energy by moving object

If the pull-down node potential drops during wake-up phase, then energy consumption is reduced, but jitter and horizontal stripes occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The first suppression module operates periodically during the wake-up phase to maintain the pull-down node potential. By activating the suppression module at specific intervals or at critical moments during the wake-up sequence, the circuit ensures the pull-down node remains at high potential when needed, preventing display defects while managing energy consumption through controlled periodic operation rather than continuous operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
