Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of display panels in display devices increases with the number of pixel units due to the need for multiple pixel driving circuits, leading to higher power consumption and reduced usable space, as each pixel unit typically requires three sub-pixel units with fixed color emissions.
Innovation Solution
A pixel driving circuit comprising a color data write unit, a luminance control unit, and a graphene light-emitting device, which allows for independent control of color and luminance through voltage signals, enabling a single pixel driving circuit to manage each pixel unit's light emission, reducing the need for multiple sub-pixel units and optimizing power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sub-pixel units are used to achieve full-color display, then color display capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the color control and luminance control functions into a single pixel driving circuit. The first and second control signals for controlling different sub-pixel units are generated and transmitted through one integrated driving circuit, reducing the number of separate driving circuits needed while maintaining full-color display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The pixel driving circuit is designed with multi-functionality to control multiple sub-pixel units (including different color sub-pixels and white sub-pixel) through a single circuit. This universal circuit can adapt to various display modes (full-color, grayscale, black and white) by selectively controlling different sub-pixel units based on input signals.
2Measurement precision
If multiple pixel driving circuits are used to control each sub-pixel unit, then control precision is improved, but area occupied increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple control functions into a single pixel driving circuit, reducing the total area occupied by driving circuits. The integrated circuit maintains control precision by generating separate control signals for different sub-pixel units through shared control logic and timing mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The universal pixel driving circuit can control multiple sub-pixel units with different functions (color sub-pixels and white sub-pixel) through a single integrated structure, maximizing the usable display area while preserving precise control capabilities for each sub-pixel type.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sub-pixel units are used for each pixel unit, then display quality is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of sub-pixel units based on display requirements. The pixel driving circuit can selectively activate or deactivate different sub-pixel units (color sub-pixels or white sub-pixel) depending on the display mode and content requirements, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining display quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device utilizes periodic scanning and refresh mechanisms where the pixel driving circuit controls different sub-pixel units in different time periods or scanning cycles. This allows efficient power management by activating only the necessary sub-pixel units during each refresh cycle, reducing total power consumption.
