Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional color complementation methods for WOLED display devices are inaccurate, affecting the display effect due to discrepancies between actual and target chromaticity coordinates of white light, requiring compensation from red, blue, and white sub-pixels.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines target output brightnesses, measures and adjusts sub-pixel brightnesses to achieve preset chromaticity coordinates, obtaining correlations between output and color complementation brightnesses to perform accurate color complementation, including calculating initial ratios and adjusting sub-pixel brightnesses accordingly.

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional color complementation methods are used to compensate for chromaticity coordinate discrepancies, then color accuracy is improved, but the method is inaccurate and affects display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor complementation accuracyVSAvoiddisplay effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter measurement approach by measuring chromaticity coordinates and brightness at multiple different brightness levels (at least two target output brightnesses) rather than a single level. This multi-level parameter measurement and correlation building resolves the inaccuracy of conventional single-point calibration methods, enabling more reliable color complementation across the entire brightness range of the display device.

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple sub-pixels (R, B, W) are used together for color complementation, then chromaticity coordinate accuracy is improved, but the complexity of brightness adjustment increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where chromaticity coordinates are measured at multiple brightness levels, correlations are built between output brightness and color complementation brightness, and these correlations are then used to automatically determine the appropriate brightness adjustments for R, B, and W sub-pixels. This closed-loop feedback approach simplifies the adjustment process compared to manual trial-and-error methods while maintaining high chromaticity coordinate accuracy.

If color complementation is performed using calculated ratios, then adjustment speed is improved, but accuracy may be compromised without proper calibration data

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary calibration by measuring chromaticity coordinates and brightness at multiple target output brightness levels before actual operation. These measurements are used to build correlation data that stores the relationship between output brightness and color complementation brightness. During actual display operation, this pre-built correlation data enables rapid and accurate color complementation adjustments without requiring real-time complex calculations, thus achieving both speed and accuracy.
