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

Adjusting the timing of gate signals by implementing a timing controlling circuit that generates image data, data and gate control signals, and using data and gate driving circuits to generate and apply signals to the display panel, ensuring the rising timing of the gate1 signal occurs after the odd gate2 signal.

1Reliability

If gate signals are applied to control pixel lines in OLED display device, then pixel lines can be driven and displayed, but coupling between gate signals and data signals causes slanted line crosstalk and image distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidcrosstalk and distortion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by adjusting the timing of gate signals before they can cause harmful coupling effects. Specifically, the gate signal timing is optimized in advance to occur after the data signal has been fully applied to the pixel line, preventing the coupling distortion from occurring in the first place

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the timing parameter of the gate signal to resolve the crosstalk issue. By modifying when the gate signal is applied relative to the data signal, the patent eliminates the harmful coupling effect while maintaining proper pixel line control

Inventive Principle:

2Reliability

If gate signal timing is adjusted to reduce crosstalk, then display quality improves, but signal synchronization complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidsignal timing control
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent simplifies the timing control by making a single parameter adjustment - shifting the gate signal timing to occur after the data signal. This straightforward parameter change achieves crosstalk reduction without requiring complex multi-parameter optimization or additional control circuitry
