  • Patent number: 11688332
    Abstract: A control method includes A) determining intrinsic activation times of individual semiconductor emitters of a display device. The display device includes a plurality of light-emitting semiconductor emitters with different intrinsic activation times. The method also includes B) determining and storing in each case an activation delay and/or a turn-on current change for each individual one of the semiconductor emitters. The method further includes C) energizing the individual semiconductor emitters according to the previously determined activation delay and/or turn-on current change, so that in a display mode of the display device the semiconductor emitters have equally long starting times for a light emission.

  • Patent number: 11568779
    Abstract: A method for operating a visual display apparatus is specified. The apparatus comprises a first optoelectronic semiconductor component configured to emit electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength and comprising a first intrinsic switch-on delay. The apparatus comprises a second optoelectronic semiconductor component configured to emit electromagnetic radiation of a second wavelength and comprising a second intrinsic switch-on delay. The second wavelength is different from the first wavelength. The first semiconductor component is operated with a first operating current according to a first actuation signal. The second semiconductor component is operated with a second operating current according to a second actuation signal.
