IMAGE CHANGE SEQUENCE TO PREVENT OPTICAL ARTIFACTS IN LOW REFREST RATE AMOLED DISPLAYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275822 titled 'IMAGE CHANGE SEQUENCE TO PREVENT OPTICAL ARTIFACTS IN LOW REFREST RATE AMOLED DISPLAYS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for rendering images on an OLED display panel with varying refresh rates.

  • Rendering a first image on the display panel at a refresh rate below a threshold rate.
  • Subsequently rendering a second image on the panel, with initial frames at or above the threshold rate.
  • After initial frames, rendering additional frames of the second image at the first refresh rate.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in:

  • Gaming displays for smoother transitions between frames.
  • Virtual reality headsets for improved image quality.

Problems Solved

This technology solves issues related to:

  • Motion blur in fast-paced scenes.
  • Image quality degradation during rapid transitions.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced visual experience for users.
  • Reduced motion blur for a more immersive experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include:

  • High-end gaming monitors.
  • Professional video editing displays.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of variable refresh rates in display technologies to improve image quality and reduce motion blur.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact power consumption of the display panel?

This article does not address the potential impact of varying refresh rates on the power consumption of the OLED display panel.

Are there any limitations to the number of initial frames that can be rendered at a higher refresh rate?

The article does not specify if there are any limitations to the number of initial frames that can be rendered at a higher refresh rate before switching back to the lower refresh rate.


Original Abstract Submitted

A first image is rendered on an active area of an OLED display panel with a first refresh rate that is below a threshold refresh rate and, subsequent to rendering the first image with the first refresh rate, a second image that is different from the first image is rendered on the active area, where the rendering of the second image includes rendering a number of initial frames of the second image at a second refresh rate that is at or above the threshold refresh rate. After rendering the number of initial frames of the second image at the second refresh rate, additional frames of the second image on the active area are rendered with the first refresh rate, where the number of initial frames is greater than 1.
