DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125541 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display apparatus that includes a liquid crystal panel and multiple light sources. The apparatus also includes a substrate with dimming blocks arranged in rows and columns, where each dimming block contains at least one light source. There are two driving devices, one for controlling the driving current applied to light sources in the first set of dimming blocks and another for controlling the driving current applied to light sources in the second set of dimming blocks. The layout of the first set of dimming blocks is different from the layout of the second set of dimming blocks.
- The display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel and multiple light sources.
- A substrate with dimming blocks arranged in rows and columns is used.
- Each dimming block contains at least one light source.
- Two driving devices are used to control the driving current applied to light sources in different sets of dimming blocks.
- The layout of the first set of dimming blocks is different from the layout of the second set of dimming blocks.
Potential Applications
- This display apparatus can be used in various electronic devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and mobile devices.
- It can provide improved control over the brightness and contrast of the display, enhancing the viewing experience for users.
Problems Solved
- The use of dimming blocks and separate driving devices allows for more precise control of the light sources, resulting in better image quality.
- The different layouts of the dimming blocks provide flexibility in adjusting the brightness and contrast across different areas of the display.
Benefits
- The display apparatus offers improved image quality with better control over brightness and contrast.
- It allows for more efficient use of light sources, reducing power consumption.
- The flexibility in layout enables customized display settings for different applications and user preferences.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel; a plurality of light sources configured to emit light; a substrate including a plurality of dimming blocks arranged in rows and columns, each dimming block of the plurality of dimming blocks including at least one light source of the plurality of light sources; a first driving device configured to control a driving current applied to light sources in first dimming blocks of the plurality of dimming blocks; and a second driving device configured to control a driving current applied to light sources in second dimming blocks of the plurality of dimming blocks, wherein the first dimming blocks, the second dimming blocks, the first driving device, and the second driving device are arranged on a first side of the substrate, and a layout of the first dimming blocks is different from a layout of the second dimming blocks.
