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 20240096280 titled 'IMAGE CHANGE SEQUENCE TO PREVENT OPTICAL ARTIFACTS IN LOW REFREST RATE AMOLED DISPLAYS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for rendering images on an OLED display panel, where a first image is rendered at a low refresh rate, followed by a second image rendered at or above a threshold refresh rate.

  • Rendering a first image on an OLED display panel at a refresh rate below a threshold rate.
  • Subsequently rendering a second image on the same panel, with initial frames at or above the threshold refresh rate.
  • Continuing to render additional frames of the second image at the lower refresh rate after the initial frames.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Gaming displays
  • Virtual reality headsets
  • Digital signage

Problems Solved

  • Reduced motion blur in fast-paced content
  • Improved image quality and clarity
  • Enhanced user experience in dynamic content viewing

Benefits

  • Smoother transitions between images
  • Reduced eye strain for viewers
  • Enhanced visual performance in high-speed content

Potential Commercial Applications

  • High-end monitors for gaming and multimedia
  • Professional displays for video editing and animation
  • Automotive displays for navigation and entertainment systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of variable refresh rates in display technologies to optimize image quality and performance.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact power consumption of OLED displays?

The patent application does not provide information on the potential effects of this method on the power consumption of OLED panels.

Are there any limitations to the size or resolution of displays that can implement this method effectively?

The patent application does not address any potential limitations in terms of display size or resolution that could affect the performance of this technology.


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.
