Solution Overview

Problem

OLED display devices with color sub-pixels experience significant brightness loss and high power consumption, leading to temperature differences and afterimages in always-on areas.

Innovation Solution

A display processing method that detects changes in threshold voltage of driving transistors to identify areas in a display state for a long time, reducing the brightness of color sub-pixels and increasing the brightness of white sub-pixels in these areas to reduce power consumption and temperature differences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the brightness of color sub-pixels is increased to achieve preset brightness, then the display quality is improved, but the power consumption increases and temperature difference rises causing afterimages

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating between always-on areas (logo region) and other display areas. For always-on areas, the color film layer is removed and white sub-pixels are used instead, creating a local structural difference that reduces power consumption in specific high-visibility regions without affecting the overall display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If the brightness of color sub-pixels is increased to achieve preset brightness, then the display quality is improved, but the temperature difference increases causing afterimages

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidtemperature difference
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the color film layer from always-on areas and uses white sub-pixels instead, creating a local structural modification that reduces heat generation in the logo region. This local quality change eliminates temperature differences between always-on and other areas, preventing afterimage effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
