Rollable Display Row Driving to Prevent Static Image Afterimages

Instead of rotating the entire screen to distribute pixel stress, this patent inverts the approach by keeping the screen fixed and selectively driving specific pixel rows in reverse sequence. The timing controller applies reverse driving to alternate rows (even rows driven in normal sequence, odd rows driven in reverse sequence), which distributes stress without causing visible screen movement or increasing data rate requirements.

This patent segments the pixel driving approach by treating even and odd rows differently. The timing controller divides the pixel array into two groups (even rows and odd rows) and applies opposite driving sequences to each group. This segmentation allows stress distribution across the entire pixel array without requiring physical screen movement, overcoming memory and visual direction limitations.

This patent implements periodic stress distribution through alternating row driving sequences within each frame period. Even rows are driven in normal sequence while odd rows are driven in reverse sequence, creating a periodic pattern that distributes pixel stress without requiring continuous screen rotation. This approach maintains constant data rate requirements while achieving stress distribution effects.
