DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17940429 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes a display panel, scan driver, data driver, and controller. The controller receives input image data at a variable input frame frequency and controls the scan driver and data driver.

  • The display panel consists of pixels connected to scan lines and data lines.
  • The scan driver provides a scan signal to the pixels through the scan lines.
  • The data driver provides a data voltage to the pixels through the data lines.
  • The controller determines if the gray scale value of the input image data falls within a specific range.
  • If the gray scale value is within the first gray scale range, the input image data is dithered.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and mobile devices.
  • Medical imaging devices.
  • Gaming consoles and virtual reality headsets.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved image quality by dithering the input image data within a specific gray scale range.
  • Enhances the visual experience by reducing artifacts and improving color accuracy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Provides a variable input frame frequency for receiving input image data.
  • Allows for better control and optimization of the display panel.
  • Enhances image quality and reduces visual artifacts.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: a display panel including a plurality of pixels connected to a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines, respectively; a scan driver, which provides a scan signal to the pixels through the scan lines; a data driver, which provides a data voltage to the pixels through the data lines; and a controller, which controls the scan driver and the data driver, and receives input image data at a variable input frame frequency. The controller determines whether a gray scale value of the input image data is included in any range of a first gray scale range and a second gray scale range different from the first gray scale range, and dithers the input image data when it is determined that the gray scale value of the input image data is included the first gray scale range
