Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices with Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) chips face challenges in achieving low power consumption due to the need to allocate time for image output and touch reading, resulting in idle periods and increased power usage.

Innovation Solution

A charging circuitry with a switch sub-circuitry that controls the power supply voltage to be electrically coupled or decoupled from the driving sub-circuitry during charging periods, allowing the driving sub-circuitry to charge the data line and then turn off, reducing power consumption through intermittent charging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the driving sub-circuitry continuously charges the data line to maintain display function, then the display reliability is improved, but the power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay reliabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic charging by controlling the switch sub-circuitry to periodically connect and disconnect the power supply voltage to the driving sub-circuitry. This allows the data line to be charged in intervals rather than continuously, reducing power consumption while maintaining display reliability through periodic refresh cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts the charging state of the driving sub-circuitry by using the switch sub-circuitry to transition between connected and disconnected states. This dynamic control allows the system to adapt power supply to actual needs, preventing continuous power consumption while ensuring display function is maintained when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Use of energy by moving object

If the driving sub-circuitry is turned off during idle periods to reduce power consumption, then the power consumption is reduced, but the response time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-charging the data line before the display actually needs to display content. The switch sub-circuitry connects the power supply in advance to charge the data line, so when display content needs to be shown, the charging is already complete or near-complete, minimizing the response time delay while still allowing power savings during extended idle periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Use of energy by moving object

If intermittent charging is implemented to reduce power consumption, then the power consumption is reduced, but the charging completeness may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidcharging completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control where the charging state of the data line is monitored and used to control the switch sub-circuitry. When the data line reaches sufficient charge level, the feedback signal causes the switch to disconnect power supply, preventing over-charging and wasted energy. This ensures charging completeness is achieved at the optimal moment while maximizing power savings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
