Solution Overview

Problem

OLED display devices face issues with rapid power supply drop when AC-powered off, leading to abnormal startup and potential false waking due to electrolytic capacitors' discharge, causing operational failures and afterimages.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a switch circuit controlled by AC and DC detection signals to manage the power supply, ensuring the 5V and 3.3V power supplies drop rapidly when AC-powered off, and implementing a system with a T8032 chip and ARM chip interaction to verify proper startup, preventing false waking and afterimages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If electrolytic capacitors are used in the power supply circuit, then the power supply can maintain stable voltage during normal operation, but the capacitors discharge slowly when AC-powered off, causing abnormal startup and false waking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply stabilityVSAvoidcapacitor discharge duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the problematic electrolytic capacitors from the power supply circuit and replaces them with ceramic capacitors. This removal of the harmful component (electrolytic capacitors with slow discharge characteristics) resolves the contradiction by eliminating the root cause of abnormal startup and false waking while maintaining power supply stability through the alternative capacitor type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the key parameter of capacitor type from electrolytic to ceramic, which fundamentally alters the discharge characteristics. Ceramic capacitors provide rapid discharge when AC-powered off, preventing the prolonged voltage presence that causes false waking and startup abnormalities, while still providing adequate voltage stabilization during normal operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Duration of action of moving object

If the power supply voltage is maintained for a longer period after AC-power-off, then the system has more time to complete shutdown procedures, but this causes false waking and abnormal startup behavior

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply maintenance timeVSAvoidstartup reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of prolonged power supply maintenance into a beneficial rapid discharge characteristic. By using ceramic capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors, the system achieves fast power cutoff that prevents false waking and startup abnormalities, transforming the potential harm of extended power presence into a reliable shutdown mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Device complexity

If a simple power supply circuit is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the circuit cannot properly manage power supply drop and prevent false waking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply circuit complexityVSAvoidoperational reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves improved reliability without increasing circuit complexity by changing the capacitor parameter from electrolytic to ceramic type. This single component substitution provides both rapid discharge capability and adequate voltage stabilization, maintaining circuit simplicity while eliminating false waking and startup reliability issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
