Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the black state voltage parameter based on the specific light-emitting element characteristics. Instead of using fixed different voltages for different elements, the system measures the actual characteristics and adjusts the voltage parameter to match, achieving optimal performance with minimized power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service through automatic measurement and adjustment mechanisms. The pixel driving circuit autonomously measures the characteristics of light-emitting elements and automatically adjusts the black state voltage without external intervention, thereby optimizing power consumption while maintaining display performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If threshold adjustment gates are added to drive transistors, then voltage range utilization is optimized, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The threshold adjustment gate serves multiple functions: it adjusts the threshold voltage of the drive transistor, enables black state voltage optimization, and facilitates adaptive power management. This multi-functionality allows a single component to address multiple objectives, improving voltage range utilization without proportionally increasing overall circuit complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by implementing threshold adjustment gates specifically at critical locations where voltage optimization is most needed. Rather than uniformly complicating the entire circuit, the adjustment mechanism is strategically placed to provide localized control over transistor threshold voltages, achieving system-level optimization through targeted modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
