Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal displays face challenges in maintaining consistent white chromaticity across gray scales due to varying opto-electronic effects from different driving voltages, leading to distorted color representation and low transmission rates.

Innovation Solution

A white balance adjusting method that measures stimulus values for each gray scale, defines the highest voltage for each pixel, and uses a root-mean-square minimum error method to create an adjusted look-up table, ensuring a white brightness gamma value of 2.2, thereby increasing the transmission rate without gray scale reversal or discontinuous look-up tables.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the voltage parameters for red, green and blue pixels differently across gray scales to maintain white chromaticity consistency. By adjusting the voltage assignment strategy and using a root-mean-square minimum error method to optimize the look-up table, the system achieves consistent white chromaticity while avoiding gray scale reversal and maintaining high transmission rate.

AI summary

A display device and a white balance adjusting method of the display device are provided. The white balance adjusting method comprises the following steps: measuring a stimulus value of each of gray scales of each of pixels of a panel; defining a highest voltage of each of the pixels at a maximum of the stimulus value; re-defining a white highest voltage using a first white balance pixel look-up table according to the highest voltage of each of the pixels; defining a target value for a white balance color pixel degree adjustment according to the white highest voltage and a corresponding white chromaticity; and acquiring an adjusted second white balance pixel look-up table to complete a white balance adjustment of the display device.
