Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by calculating and compensating for voltage variations before they affect the pixel electrode display. The system pre-calculates the voltage change caused by capacitance coupling from adjacent data lines during the charging period, and applies compensation voltage in advance to eliminate the cross-talk effect before it manifests as brightness difference in the displayed image.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing the compensation calculation only on the specific capacitance coupling between adjacent data lines and the target pixel electrode during the charging period. Instead of calculating all possible capacitive couplings in the display, the system selectively computes only the relevant voltage variation from neighboring data lines that actually affect the target pixel, thereby reducing overall calculation complexity while maintaining compensation effectiveness.

AI summary

A pixel voltage compensation method, a pixel voltage compensator device and a display device are provided. The compensation method includes: determining a capacitance between at least one data line adjacent to a target pixel electrode and the target pixel electrode; detecting a voltage difference between a driving voltage of the data line and a driving voltage of the target pixel electrode in a period from a start of present charging of the target pixel electrode to a start of next charging; calculating a variation of the driving voltage of the target pixel electrode caused by the capacitance and the voltage difference; and compensating for the driving voltage of the target pixel electrode according to the variation. This compensation method can suppress the phenomenon of voltage cross-talk, and thus can improve the display effect of the display device.
