LED Display Grayscale Dispersion for Low-Flicker Sub-Frame Driving
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED display screens suffer from uneven grayscale dispersion leading to reduced visual refreshing rate and noticeable flicker at low grayscale, resulting in poor display quality.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for driving LED display screens that evenly distribute grayscale values across sub-frames by determining sub-grayscale values based on total grayscale values, sub-frame sequence numbers, and grayscale growth sequence numbers, allowing for an arbitrary number of sub-frames, thereby improving image quality and visual refreshing rate without significant increases in power consumption or reconfiguration needs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If non-dispersion mode is used at low grayscale, then power consumption is reduced, but visual refreshing rate decreases causing noticeable flicker
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a grayscale threshold parameter to dynamically switch between non-dispersion mode (for low grayscale values below threshold) and dispersion mode (for grayscale values at or above threshold). This parameter-based switching resolves the contradiction by adapting the display mode to the specific grayscale level, ensuring low power consumption at dark levels while maintaining high visual refreshing rate at brighter levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic switching mechanism between two display modes based on real-time grayscale value monitoring. The system transitions from static non-dispersion mode to dynamic dispersion mode when grayscale exceeds the threshold, allowing the visual refreshing rate to adapt to content requirements while maintaining energy efficiency for static or low-brightness content.
2Ease of manufacture
If grayscale values are unevenly dispersed across sub-frames, then implementation is simpler, but display quality deteriorates due to flicker
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the grayscale value distribution across multiple sub-frames using a dispersion algorithm. Instead of concentrating grayscale in single sub-frames (simple but causes flicker), the system divides the total grayscale value into multiple segments distributed across sub-frames according to a growth sequence, achieving both even dispersion for quality and manageable implementation through systematic segmentation rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies periodic dispersion patterns across sub-frames using a growth sequence mechanism. Grayscale values are distributed in a systematic periodic manner across multiple sub-frames rather than randomly or uniformly, creating a rhythmic pattern that ensures even visual perception while maintaining implementation simplicity through predictable periodic distribution rules.
3Reliability
If visual refreshing rate is increased by multiplying sub-frames, then display quality improves, but power consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of sub-frame utilization by introducing selective dispersion based on grayscale threshold. Instead of always using maximum sub-frames for high visual refreshing rate, the system dynamically adjusts the number of active sub-frames based on grayscale level, maintaining high display quality when needed while reducing power consumption by activating fewer sub-frames at low grayscale levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial dispersion action by using only the necessary number of sub-frames required to achieve acceptable display quality at each grayscale level. Instead of excessively using all available sub-frames at all times (which maximizes quality but also power consumption), the system applies just enough dispersion action to eliminate flicker while minimizing energy usage through threshold-based sub-frame activation.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method, a system, a device, an apparatus and a medium for driving an LED display screen. When the total grayscale value of an LED lamp bead is greater than a grayscale threshold value, the sub-grayscale value of the LED lamp bead is determined based on a total grayscale value of the LED lamp bead, a total number of sub-frames and a grayscale growth sequence number of each sub-frame image, otherwise, the sub-grayscale value of the LED lamp bead is determined according to the total grayscale value of the LED lamp bead, the grayscale non-dispersion threshold value and the grayscale growth sequence number of each sub-frame image; according to the sub-grayscale value of each LED lamp bead in each sub-frame image, the LED display screen is driven to display each sub-frame image, so that the grayscale value can be uniformly dispersed, and image display quality is improved.
