Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing linear function graphs that represent the relationship between on-pulse width and luminance at different temperatures. These graphs are generated in advance through measurements at first and second temperatures, and then used to determine the target linear function graph for temperature compensation without requiring real-time complex calculations during operation.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting the on-pulse width of the emission signal based on the determined target linear function graph. The processor modifies the pulse width parameter in response to temperature variations, leveraging the pre-established relationship between pulse width and luminance to maintain consistent optical performance across different temperature conditions.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs luminance measurements at different temperatures in advance to establish linear function graphs before actual operation. This preliminary measurement phase allows the system to capture the relationship between on-pulse width and luminance at various temperatures, storing this information for later use during temperature compensation without requiring repeated measurements during operation.
