1Ease of manufacture
If GOA technology is adopted to manufacture gate scanning driving circuit on substrate, then border of panel and product cost are decreased, but temperature variation of TFTs causes electron mobility rate drifting leading to non-uniform grayscale and poor display performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism using a voltage comparator that continuously monitors the gate driving voltage VGH and compares it with a reference voltage VREF. When temperature variation causes VGH to deviate from the optimal level, the comparator detects this deviation and triggers the first FET to adjust the voltage, thereby maintaining consistent display performance across different temperatures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the electrical parameter (gate driving voltage VGH) dynamically in response to temperature variations. By using a voltage comparator to detect voltage deviations and controlling an FET to adjust VGH, the system adapts the operating parameters to compensate for temperature-induced electron mobility changes, ensuring uniform grayscale display.
2Reliability
If gate driving voltage is increased to compensate for low temperature effects, then electron mobility is improved, but driving voltage becomes too high causing non-uniform grayscale
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback loop continuously monitors VGH and makes real-time adjustments. When temperature drops and electron mobility decreases, the system increases VGH to maintain functionality. Conversely, when temperature rises and VGH becomes too high, the feedback mechanism detects this and reduces the voltage, preventing grayscale non-uniformity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the gate driving voltage dynamic rather than static. The voltage is automatically adjusted based on temperature conditions through the feedback mechanism, allowing the system to optimize electron mobility at low temperatures while preventing over-voltage at high temperatures, thus maintaining grayscale uniformity across the operating range.
