Solution Overview

Problem

Inconsistent screen brightness and color in micro OLED displays due to differences in display performance between single-channel and non-single-channel sub-pixels when using a unified compensation value.

Innovation Solution

A pixel compensation method that determines a sub-pixel ratio and average load value, and uses hybrid or single dynamic lookup tables to calculate customized compensation values based on the sub-pixel ratio, ensuring accurate brightness and color adjustment for each type of sub-pixel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a unified compensation value is applied to all sub-pixels, then the compensation process is simple, but the screen brightness and color become inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation process simplicityVSAvoiddisplay brightness and color consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different compensation values to different types of sub-pixels (single-channel vs. non-single-channel) based on their specific display characteristics. This local differentiation ensures that each sub-pixel type receives customized compensation, resolving the brightness and color inconsistency while maintaining a relatively simple implementation approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If different compensation values are applied to single-channel and non-single-channel sub-pixels, then display consistency is improved, but the compensation system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay brightness and color consistencyVSAvoidcompensation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sub-pixels into two distinct categories: single-channel sub-pixels and non-single-channel sub-pixels. Each category is assigned its own compensation value based on its specific display characteristics. This segmentation approach achieves accurate compensation for each type while keeping the system manageable by clearly defining the classification and compensation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the same display parameters are used for all sub-pixels, then the control is simple, but the display performance varies due to manufacturing differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol simplicityVSAvoiddisplay performance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the compensation parameter (compensation value) based on the sub-pixel type and screen load conditions. By dynamically adjusting the compensation parameter according to the specific sub-pixel category and operating conditions, the system achieves consistent display performance while maintaining relatively simple control through predefined parameter sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
