1Measurement precision

If the mura processing structure provides a storage space corresponding to the resolution of the display panel to store compensation values of gray scale for each pixel, then the gray scale compensation accuracy is improved, but the storage space requirement increases significantly, leading to increased hardware costs

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display area into multiple first sub-areas according to a first preset rule, where each first sub-area includes at least two pixels. For each first sub-area, multinomial coefficients are pre-calculated and stored instead of individual pixel compensation values. This segmentation approach reduces the storage space from needing to store values for every pixel to storing only for grouped sub-areas, while maintaining compensation accuracy through the mathematical model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the storage approach from storing raw compensation values for each pixel to storing multinomial coefficients that can generate compensation values through mathematical calculation. By changing the stored parameters from direct compensation values to coefficients of a multinomial expression, the system achieves both space reduction and maintained accuracy through the relationship: compensation value = f(coefficients, pixel coordinates).
