DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942616 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device that includes an external memory device and an internal memory device. The external memory device stores driving information for an integrated circuit (IC), while the internal memory device stores a copy of the driving information generated from the external memory device.
- The display device also includes a buffer that receives the copied driving information and detects electrostatic discharge current.
- An error correction code calculator determines error correction codes for both the original driving information and the copied driving information when electrostatic discharge current is detected.
- An error correction code comparator compares the error correction codes of the original and copied driving information.
- Based on the comparison result, the internal memory device selectively updates the copied driving information to match the original driving information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and televisions.
- Any application where accurate and reliable display information is crucial, such as medical imaging equipment or industrial control systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Electrostatic discharge can cause errors in the driving information of a display device, leading to incorrect or distorted display output.
- By detecting and comparing error correction codes, this technology ensures that the copied driving information is accurate and up to date, reducing the risk of display errors.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and accuracy of display output by ensuring the driving information is error-free.
- Reduces the need for manual intervention or troubleshooting to correct display errors caused by electrostatic discharge.
- Enhances the overall user experience by providing a consistent and high-quality display.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes an external memory device which stores a first integrated circuit (“IC”) driving information, an internal memory device which stores a second IC driving information generated by copying the first IC driving information, a buffer which receives the second IC driving information and detects an electrostatic discharge current, an error correction code calculator which determines a first error correction code of the first IC driving information and a second error correction code of the second IC driving information when the electrostatic discharge current is detected, and an error correction code comparator which compares the first error correction code and the second error correction code. The internal memory device selectively updates the second IC driving information to the first IC driving information based on a result of a comparison of the first error correction code and the second error correction code.
