1Illumination intensity
If the voltage difference between gate and source is reduced to achieve low-grayscale display, then the current is reduced, but the resistance increases causing increased heating power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the voltage parameter applied to the driving transistor by using a switching circuit that outputs different voltages based on grayscale data. For low-grayscale display, the switching circuit outputs a voltage that reduces the voltage difference between gate and source, thereby reducing current and heating power consumption while maintaining appropriate resistance levels
2Illumination intensity
If the resistance of driving transistor is reduced to increase current for high-grayscale display, then the brightness is improved, but the heating power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The switching circuit dynamically adjusts the voltage parameter applied to the driving transistor based on grayscale requirements. For high-grayscale display, it outputs a voltage that reduces resistance and increases current to achieve higher brightness, while for low-grayscale display, it outputs a voltage that increases resistance and reduces current to minimize power consumption
3Device complexity
If a fixed voltage is applied to the driving transistor, then the circuit is simple, but the heating power consumption cannot be minimized across different grayscale levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a switching circuit that dynamically changes the voltage output based on grayscale data requirements. The switching circuit includes switching transistors that can switch between different voltage states, making the driving voltage dynamic rather than fixed, thereby enabling minimized heating power consumption across different grayscale levels while adding controlled complexity
