Solution Overview

Problem

OLED display devices experience poor display performance due to external factors like temperature and instability in their own circuits, leading to fluctuations in gamma main voltage, which affect the stability of real-time data voltage and result in compensation errors.

Innovation Solution

A set-voltage generation unit is introduced, comprising a voltage generation circuit that generates a set voltage based on a gamma main voltage, with a voltage coefficient K, and an adjustment circuit that adjusts K according to real-time data voltage, ensuring the set voltage varies proportionally with the gamma main voltage to eliminate compensation errors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the set voltage is kept fixed to simplify the circuit, then the circuit complexity is reduced, but compensation errors occur due to gamma main voltage fluctuations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit complexityVSAvoidcompensation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the set voltage dynamic rather than fixed. The voltage generation circuit continuously adjusts the set voltage based on the gamma main voltage fluctuations, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions and eliminate compensation errors while maintaining reasonable circuit complexity through automated adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using the gamma main voltage as a reference to automatically adjust the set voltage. The voltage generation circuit monitors gamma main voltage fluctuations and dynamically modifies the set voltage accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that eliminates compensation errors without requiring complex manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the set voltage is adjusted to follow gamma main voltage fluctuations, then compensation accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation accuracyVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an intermediate voltage generation circuit that acts as a mediator between the gamma main voltage and the set voltage. This intermediary circuit simplifies the overall system by providing automated voltage adjustment based on gamma main voltage fluctuations, reducing the need for complex compensation mechanisms elsewhere in the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The voltage generation circuit creates a scaled copy of the gamma main voltage fluctuations to adjust the set voltage. By copying the fluctuation pattern with a voltage coefficient K (where 0 < K ≤ 1), the system maintains compensation accuracy while using a relatively simple circuit implementation that doesn't require complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Stability of the object's composition

If the voltage coefficient K is increased to reduce the impact of gamma main voltage, then the stability is improved, but the compensation performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage stabilityVSAvoidcompensation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the voltage coefficient K within a specific range (0 < K ≤ 1) to optimize the balance between stability and compensation performance. This parameter adjustment allows the system to maintain adequate voltage stability while preserving the ability to compensate for gamma main voltage fluctuations, achieving both goals simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
