DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18395105 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with Light Emitting Diode (LED) blocks connected in series, a driver Integrated Circuit supplying current to the LED blocks, switching elements connected in parallel to the LED blocks, and a controller for controlling the on/off of the switching elements to adjust the current supply to specific LED blocks over time for implementing a unit frame.

  • LED blocks connected in series
  • Driver Integrated Circuit supplying current to LED blocks
  • Switching elements connected in parallel to LED blocks
  • Controller for controlling on/off of switching elements to adjust current supply

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be used in various display devices such as televisions, monitors, and digital signage.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently controlling the current supply to specific LED blocks in a display device, allowing for precise adjustment and optimization of the display output.

Benefits

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be applied in the manufacturing of high-definition televisions, large-scale video walls, and outdoor digital billboards.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of similar LED block configurations in display devices, but without the specific control mechanisms described in the patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the controller determine which LED block to supply the current to at a given time?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific mechanism used by the controller to determine which LED block to supply the current to at any given time.

What is the expected lifespan of the LED blocks in this display device?

The patent application does not mention the expected lifespan of the LED blocks used in the display device, which could be important information for potential users and manufacturers.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: Light Emitting Diode (LED) blocks connected in series; a driver Integrated Circuit which supplies a current to the LED blocks and is connected in series to one of the LED blocks; switching elements connected in parallel to the LED blocks; and a controller for controlling on/off of the switching elements to adjust which LED block to supply the current, over a time for implementing a unit frame.
