Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The long-term accumulation of electric charges at the interface of quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) in video display panels leads to reduced luminous intensity and shortened lifetime, affecting the brightness and longevity of the display.
Innovation Solution
A preconfigured reverse driving method is applied in the video display process, where a reverse driving signal is added before the forward driving signal to suppress electric charge accumulation, with the intensity and waveform of the reverse signal proportional to the forward signal, and applied even when pixels are not illuminated, to alter the defect potential well and reduce charge density.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If forward driving signal is continuously applied to drive video display content, then the luminous intensity and brightness are maintained, but electric charges accumulate at the interface between layers, reducing lifetime and affecting display quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic reverse driving signals at different frequencies (first frequency for charge suppression, second frequency for water resonance) to the quantum dot light-emitting diode. This periodic action creates time-varying electric fields that prevent charge accumulation while maintaining luminous output, resolving the contradiction between sustained brightness and device lifetime
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the electrical parameters by switching between forward driving signals and reverse driving signals with different frequencies and polarities. By dynamically adjusting the driving signal parameters (frequency, polarity, amplitude), the system maintains optimal luminous intensity while preventing charge accumulation that would otherwise reduce lifetime
2Illumination intensity
If forward driving signal is applied to maintain video display brightness, then the display quality is maintained, but electric charges are confined at energy level interfaces, shortening device lifetime
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic reverse driving signals with specific frequencies to create oscillating electric fields that prevent charge confinement at interfaces. The first frequency targets charge suppression while the second frequency (water resonance frequency) enhances the effect, thereby extending device lifetime without compromising brightness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the harmful effect of applied electric fields (which cause charge accumulation) into a beneficial effect by using reverse polarity signals. The same electric field mechanism that causes charge confinement is inverted to create charge suppression, transforming the harmful forward driving into beneficial reverse driving that extends lifetime while maintaining display quality
3Reliability
If reverse driving signal is applied to suppress charge accumulation, then the lifetime is extended, but additional signal processing and timing control are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses periodic reverse driving signals with predetermined frequencies that can be implemented through standard display timing controllers. The periodic nature allows synchronization with existing display refresh cycles, minimizing additional control complexity while achieving charge suppression and lifetime extension

AI summary
Disclosed in the present disclosure is a preconfigured reverse drive method applied in a video displaying process. The method comprises the steps of: pre-obtaining display content of several frames behind lit pixels in a video by means of content loading; and adding a reverse drive signal before each forward drive signal used for driving the display content of the several frames, to suppress electric charge concentration on pixel in a video display panel in advance. The reverse drive signal changes the potential barrier of the detect potential well, removes electric charges confined and concentrated in the potential well, and reduces the density of confined electric charges. Thus, the video display brightness is improved, and the service life of the video display panel is prolonged.
