Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal displays suffer from a motion blur phenomenon due to the slow response speed of liquid crystals, which is exacerbated by the reduction in data charging time when using methods like inserting black data to increase frame frequency or divide image data charging periods.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a second thin film transistor and a common voltage system that supplies a common voltage to the pixel electrode, allowing for the replacement of black data and maintaining data charging time through the first thin film transistor, while controlling the gray scale level display period based on average brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If black data is inserted between frames to increase frame frequency, then motion blur is reduced, but data charging time is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe frequencyVSAvoiddata charging time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The gate lines are divided into two groups (first gate lines and second gate lines) that are driven by separate gate drivers. This segmentation allows independent control of scanning periods, enabling the first gate driver to charge image data while the second gate driver handles other operations, thereby preventing reduction of data charging time when increasing frame frequency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Image data is charged to the liquid crystal cells in advance during the scanning period of the second gate lines, before the display period of the first gate lines begins. This preliminary charging action ensures that data is fully loaded before display starts, maintaining adequate charging time even when frame frequency is increased

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Speed

If the horizontal period charging image data is divided into smaller periods, then motion blur is reduced, but data charging time is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoiddata charging time
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The display period is divided into first and second display periods corresponding to first and second gate line groups. Image data charging is performed during the second display period while display occurs during the first display period. This segmentation allows overlapping of charging and display operations, maintaining full charging time while improving response speed through divided periods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

While the first gate driver is displaying image data during the first display period, the second gate driver simultaneously charges image data during the second display period. This continuous useful action ensures that charging operations never idle, maintaining adequate charging time while improving overall system response speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
