Solution Overview

Problem

As OLED display devices increase in size, luminance uniformity worsens, leading to inconsistent service lives across different display regions, resulting in uneven display and a compromised user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design with distinct display regions having varying aperture ratios, where regions with higher brightness have increased aperture ratios to extend service life, and a method to adjust aperture ratios based on luminous brightness ranges to achieve uniformity.

1Area of stationary object

If the size of OLED display device increases, then the display area is enlarged, but the luminance uniformity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dividing the display panel into different display regions (first, second, and third display regions) with different aperture ratios. Specifically, the pixel units in the second and third display regions have larger aperture ratios than those in the first display region, creating local variations in optical properties to compensate for luminance non-uniformity across the large display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If the aperture ratio of pixel units is increased to improve luminance, then the brightness is enhanced, but the service life becomes inconsistent across different regions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidservice life consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by assigning different aperture ratios to pixel units in different display regions. The second and third display regions have larger aperture ratios for higher brightness, while the first display region has smaller aperture ratios. This local differentiation ensures that each region operates at optimal brightness levels, resulting in consistent service life across all regions despite the large overall display size.
