  • Patent number: 10325535
    Abstract: A method for testing a display panel includes: applying a first level signal to a first sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel of a first pixel unit and applying a second level signal to a second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit; applying the second level signal to a first sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel of a second pixel unit and applying the first level signal to a second sub-pixel of the second pixel unit; and detecting a short circuit between adjacent sub-pixels. The first level signal has a voltage polarity opposite to a voltage polarity of the second level signal. Therefore, it is ensured that any two adjacent sub-pixels have opposite voltage polarities when the short circuit between adjacent sub-pixels of the display panel is detected.

    Abstract: A system for calibrating a liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a plurality of temperature sensors, a storage medium, and a controller. Each temperature sensor measures a current temperature of at least one pixel in the LCD. The storage medium stores information about latencies for any LC-based pixel, wherein each latency corresponds to a time period for transition from a starting to an ending illumination state for one temperature of the LC-based pixel. The controller determines, based on the current temperature, the transition information and frame information, a time for each pixel in at least a portion of the LCD to transition from a first to a second illumination state. The controller computes, based on transition times, an LC transition time for at least the portion of the LCD and performs calibration of at least the portion of the LCD based on the LC transition time.
