OLED Night Vision Display with Quad-Pixel Segmentation

The display is divided into multiple pixel types (day pixels and night pixels) with different emission characteristics. Day pixels use standard RGB subpixels for color display, while night pixels use a different emission spectrum suitable for night vision compatibility. This segmentation allows the display to show different content through different pixel types depending on lighting conditions.

The display dynamically switches between day mode and night mode operation based on ambient light conditions. A detector monitors ambient light levels and controls the processor to activate appropriate pixel types accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the display to maintain optimal performance for both color fidelity in daylight and night vision compatibility in low-light conditions.

The night vision compatibility function is extracted from a separate filter layer and integrated directly into the OLED pixel structure itself. By incorporating night pixels with appropriate emission characteristics directly into the display, the need for external filter glass is eliminated, simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining night vision compatibility.

The OLED display is designed to perform multiple functions through its pixel structure. The same display hardware can operate in both standard color display mode (using day pixels) and night vision compatible mode (using night pixels), eliminating the need for separate filter components and enabling a single device to serve multiple operational requirements.

The expensive night vision filter glass component is removed from the system entirely. Instead, night vision compatibility is achieved through specially designed night pixels that can be manufactured using standard OLED fabrication processes, significantly reducing material and manufacturing costs while maintaining the desired functionality.

The patent employs standard OLED materials and fabrication techniques to create night pixels, replacing the need for expensive specialized filter glass. This approach uses cost-effective, readily available materials and processes that are already established in OLED manufacturing, thereby reducing overall production costs.
