Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a comprehensive feedback mechanism where the feedback circuit continuously monitors the output voltage and feeds it back to the compensation circuit. The comparator compares the feedback voltage with a reference voltage, and the compensation circuit generates compensation signals based on this comparison. This closed-loop feedback system dynamically adjusts the PWM duty ratio to maintain stable output voltage and prevent display malfunctions.

Solution Approach 2:

The booster circuit is designed to provide preliminary compensation action in predetermined sections before voltage ripples can cause display malfunctions. By anticipating and compensating for voltage variations in advance, the system prevents instability rather than reacting after problems occur, thereby improving reliability.
