Solution Overview

Problem

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays experience brightness and color deviations due to increased migration rates of light-emitting materials with temperature rises, leading to inconsistent picture quality as different color OLEDs respond differently to temperature changes.

Innovation Solution

An organic light-emitting display panel with diversion modules that adjust current flow through light-emitting components by connecting conduction and diversion control submodules in parallel as temperature increases, reducing brightness increments and maintaining stable color coordinates across temperature ranges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If temperature increases, then brightness increases, but color coordinates become unstable and picture quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidcolor coordinates stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces diversion modules that change the electrical parameters (current flow) of the light-emitting components based on temperature conditions. When temperature exceeds a threshold, the diversion modules activate to adjust the current, thereby compensating for temperature-induced brightness increases and stabilizing color coordinates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the state of light-emitting components (brightness and color coordinates) is monitored, and diversion modules are activated to provide compensatory current adjustment. This closed-loop approach ensures that color coordinates remain stable despite temperature variations affecting brightness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If diversion modules are added to stabilize color, then color coordinates stability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor coordinates stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light-emitting component into multiple segments by introducing separate diversion modules for different color channels (red, green, blue). Each diversion module independently controls the current for its corresponding color sub-component, allowing precise color coordination without requiring complete redesign of the entire display structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The diversion modules serve multiple functions: they act as current control elements for brightness adjustment, color coordinate stabilization, and temperature compensation. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Illumination intensity

If current flow is increased to maintain brightness, then brightness stability improves, but color deviations worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness stabilityVSAvoidcolor uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different current adjustment strategies to different color channels (red, green, blue) based on their specific characteristics and temperature responses. Each color sub-component receives customized current control through its dedicated diversion module, ensuring that brightness stability is achieved without inducing color deviations that would result from uniform current adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
