DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135845 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUIT

Simplified Explanation

The display device described in the abstract includes a display, a first power module, and a second power module. The first power module supplies a first power, while the second power module supplies a second power to the display. The first power module is designed to cut off the first power in case the input current exceeds a certain threshold, identify abnormalities in the second power module based on the second power, and adjust the overload criterion in case of abnormality.

  • Explanation of the patent:

- Display device with dual power modules for supplying power to the display. - First power module cuts off power if input current exceeds a threshold. - Identifies abnormalities in the second power module based on the second power. - Adjusts the overload criterion in case of abnormality.

Potential applications of this technology: - Consumer electronics - Medical devices - Automotive displays

Problems solved by this technology: - Prevents damage to the display from excessive input current. - Detects abnormalities in the power supply system. - Ensures stable power supply to the display.

Benefits of this technology: - Improved safety for the display device. - Enhanced reliability of the power supply system. - Extended lifespan of the display.

Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Display manufacturers - Electronics companies - Power supply manufacturers

Possible prior art: - Prior art related to power supply systems for displays. - Prior art on overload protection mechanisms in electronic devices.

Unanswered questions: 1. How does the display device handle power fluctuations in real-time? 2. What are the specific criteria used to identify abnormalities in the second power module?


Original Abstract Submitted

a display device according to an embodiment includes a display, a first power module that outputs a first power, and a second power module that outputs a second power. the first power and the second power are supplied to the display. the first power module is configured to cut off the first power when an amount of input current exceeds an overload criterion, to identify whether the second power module is abnormal based on the second power, and to change the overload criterion from a first threshold current amount to a second threshold current amount that exceeds the first threshold current amount, in an abnormal state of the second power module
