DRIVING CONTROLLER, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18213898 titled 'DRIVING CONTROLLER, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND METHOD OF DRIVING DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device with a degradation controller that compensates for pixel degradation by adjusting driving voltages and power consumption.
- The degradation controller calculates a driving voltage increase amount based on the degradation of the maximum degradation pixel.
- The global current controller compensates for power increase by calculating a scale factor based on the driving voltage increase amount.
- The driving voltage provider increases the driving voltage to the pixels according to the calculated driving voltage increase amount.
- The data compensator generates output image data by scaling the scale factor to grayscale values of input image data.
- The data driver provides data voltages to the pixels based on the output image data.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, monitors, and TVs to improve image quality and extend the lifespan of the display.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of pixel degradation in display devices, ensuring consistent image quality over time and reducing power consumption.
Benefits
