Solution Overview

Problem

High-resolution organic light-emitting display devices operating at high speeds experience crosstalk among scan lines due to reduced horizontal and scan-on times, leading to deteriorated image quality.

Innovation Solution

The device divides a frame into odd-numbered and even-numbered sub-frames, with specific drivers managing scan and emission signals to ensure sufficient horizontal time, allowing for concurrent data writing and light emission operations, thereby preventing crosstalk and enhancing image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the number of scan lines is increased to enhance resolution, then image quality is improved, but horizontal time and scan on time decrease causing crosstalk among scan lines

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The scan driver is divided into multiple independent scan drivers, each responsible for controlling a specific group of scan lines. This segmentation allows each scan driver to operate independently with optimized timing, preventing crosstalk between adjacent scan lines while maintaining high resolution display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the driving frequency is increased to operate at higher speed, then productivity is improved, but horizontal time and scan on time become insufficient leading to crosstalk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving frequencyVSAvoidcrosstalk prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the scan control into multiple independent scan drivers, each operating at the high driving frequency, the system maintains sufficient scan on time for each group of scan lines. This enables high-speed operation without crosstalk by distributing the scanning workload across multiple drivers with optimized timing sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple scan drivers operate in periodic sequences, with each driver controlling its assigned scan lines during specific time intervals within the frame period. This periodic action ensures that each scan line group receives adequate scan on time even at high driving frequencies, preventing crosstalk while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If the scan on time is extended to prevent crosstalk, then reliability is improved, but the time available for other operations decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrosstalk preventionVSAvoidtime for other operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing scan line control among multiple independent scan drivers, each driver manages a subset of scan lines with optimized scan on time. This segmentation allows the total scan on time to be distributed efficiently, ensuring sufficient time for each group without excessive total time loss, while maintaining reliable crosstalk prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
