OLED Gray-Level Compensation Using Dynamic Luminance Offsets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gray-level compensation methods for OLED displays have poor flexibility and can lead to over-compensation of low gray-level pixels and reduction of gray-scale levels for high gray-level pixels, impacting image uniformity and detail.
Innovation Solution
A gray-level compensation method that determines an actual luminance offset based on the initial gray-level value, using interpolation coefficients that vary with gray-level thresholds to adjust the applied voltage, ensuring accurate gray-level compensation without over-compensation or reduction in gray-scale levels.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a fixed luminance offset is used for gray-level compensation, then the compensation process is simple, but low gray-level pixels are over-compensated and high gray-level pixels lose gray-scale levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the gray-level range into multiple segments (first gray-level range and second gray-level range) with different thresholds. Each segment uses a different interpolation coefficient (first interpolation coefficient for low gray-levels, second interpolation coefficient for high gray-levels), preventing over-compensation in low segments and gray-scale loss in high segments while maintaining compensation simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the luminance offset dynamic by using interpolation coefficients that vary with the initial gray-level value. Instead of a fixed offset, the system dynamically adjusts the offset based on the pixel's gray-level position within different ranges, allowing precise compensation for each gray-level while keeping the overall process simple through automated classification.
2Manufacturing precision
If different luminance offsets are used for different gray-level values, then gray-level compensation accuracy is improved, but the complexity of determining appropriate offsets increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of luminance offset based on the initial gray-level value. By establishing a correspondence between gray-level values and luminance offsets (through interpolation coefficients that vary with gray-level thresholds), the system achieves accurate compensation for each gray-level while managing complexity through systematic parameter variation rather than arbitrary adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different interpolation coefficients to different gray-level ranges, giving each region its own optimized compensation characteristics. Low gray-level pixels use one coefficient to prevent over-compensation, while high gray-level pixels use another to preserve gray-scale levels, achieving locally optimized compensation without requiring complex global optimization.

AI summary
A gray-level compensation method and apparatus, a display device and a computer storage medium are provided, which belong to the field of display technology. The method includes: acquiring an initial gray-level value of a target pixel; determining an actual luminance offset of the target pixel based on the initial gray-level value, where different initial gray-level values within a specified threshold range correspond to different actual luminance offsets; and performing a gray-level compensation on the target pixel based on the actual luminance offset. The actual luminance offset is determined based on the initial gray-level value of the target pixel, and since the different initial gray-level values within the specified threshold range correspond to the different actual luminance offsets, flexibility of gray-level compensation performed on the pixel is improved.
