Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single driving voltage source into multiple separate driving voltage sources (first driving voltage source for red sub-pixels, second driving voltage source for green sub-pixels, third driving voltage source for blue sub-pixels). This segmentation allows each color sub-pixel to receive independently optimized driving voltages, reducing power consumption and eliminating interference between sub-pixels while maintaining manageable device complexity through modular architecture.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the driving voltage generation into separate circuits for each color sub-pixel type. The first driving voltage source is dedicated to red sub-pixels, the second to green sub-pixels, and the third to blue sub-pixels. This segmentation prevents voltage interference between different color channels while maintaining clear signal integrity for each sub-pixel type.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality optimization by providing different driving voltage characteristics to different color sub-pixels. The first driving voltage source provides voltages optimized for red sub-pixels, the second for green sub-pixels, and the third for blue sub-pixels. This localized optimization ensures each sub-pixel operates at peak efficiency with minimal energy loss, while the modular voltage source architecture keeps overall device complexity manageable.
