Display Image Shifting with Weighted Timing to Reduce Image Sticking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices such as organic light emitting displays experience pixel deterioration and image sticking when showing the same image for extended periods, which conventional pixel shift technologies fail to adequately address due to uniform display time distribution.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a weighted value system based on the position of the image within the display region, where the center receives a higher weight, adjusting the time spent and frequency of image presence at different positions to reduce image sticking.

1Reliability
If pixel shift technology is used to move the image along a movement path, then pixel deterioration is reduced by decreasing the time the same data is output to a specific pixel, but image sticking occurs due to dramatic grayscale changes in regions where the image accumulates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different weighted values to different regions of the movement path. Regions closer to the center of the display area are assigned higher weighted values, causing the image to spend more time in these regions. This non-uniform time distribution prevents dramatic grayscale changes and eliminates image sticking while still reducing pixel deterioration through continued image movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of time distribution along the movement path by introducing weighted values that modify how long the image remains at each position. This parameter change transforms the uniform time distribution of conventional pixel shift into a non-uniform distribution that prioritizes central regions, thereby preventing image sticking while maintaining pixel protection benefits.
2Device complexity
If the image is moved uniformly along the movement path without weighting, then the implementation is simple, but regions with dramatic grayscale changes form and are perceived as image sticking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces local quality by applying different weighted values to different spatial regions of the movement path. Central regions receive higher weights while peripheral regions receive lower weights, creating a non-uniform time distribution that prevents image sticking without requiring complex additional hardware or control mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the image停留 time at each position variable rather than uniform. The weighted values dynamically adjust how long the image remains at each position based on its location, creating a more natural movement pattern that prevents grayscale accumulation while maintaining implementation feasibility.

AI summary
In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for displaying an image of a display device includes moving the image displayed on an image display region along a movement path including a first position and a second position during a period of time, wherein, during the period of time, a total time for which the image is located at the first position is greater than a total time for which the image is located at the second position.
