Solution Overview

Problem

OLED display devices experience slanted line crosstalk along a diagonal direction due to coupling between gate and data signals, leading to image distortion and reduced display quality.

Innovation Solution

The display device adjusts the timing of gate signals to minimize slanted line crosstalk by ensuring the rising timing of the gate1 signal occurs after the odd gate2 signal, using a timing controlling circuit, data and gate driving circuits, and a display panel with specific signal generation and application protocols.
