DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18130691 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device that includes a display panel with pixels and an image sticking compensator. The compensator generates age data for the pixels by accumulating degradation data over multiple frame periods. It then uses this age data to compensate input image data and generate output image data.
- The display device includes a display panel with pixels.
- An image sticking compensator is used to generate age data for the pixels.
- The age data is generated by accumulating degradation data over multiple frame periods.
- The compensator can use average degradation data, degradation data from a representative frame period, or degradation differential data to generate the age data.
- The age data is then used to compensate input image data and generate output image data.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and mobile devices.
- Virtual reality and augmented reality headsets.
- Gaming consoles and handheld gaming devices.
- Medical imaging displays and equipment.
- Advertising displays and billboards.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Image sticking or burn-in issues on display panels.
- Degradation of image quality over time.
- Uneven pixel aging and degradation.
- Inaccurate compensation of input image data.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality and longevity of display panels.
- Reduced image sticking and burn-in issues.
- More accurate compensation of input image data.
- Enhanced user experience with clearer and more vibrant visuals.
- Extended lifespan of display devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel including a plurality of pixels, and an image sticking compensator for generating age data with respect to the plurality of pixels by accumulating average degradation data that is an average of degradation data with respect to a plurality of successive frame periods, by accumulating the degradation data with respect to a representative frame period among the plurality of successive frame periods, or by accumulating degradation data generated by accumulating degradation differential data with respect to two successive frame periods, and generating output image data by compensating input image data using the age data.
