  • Patent number: 11410615
    Abstract: A pixel driving circuit, a display panel and a display device are provided. The pixel driving circuit includes a first control module electrically connected to a first node. The first control module receives the first control signal and the first power voltage. The first control module is used to write the first power voltage into the first node under the control of the first control signal when the voltage of the first control signal is higher than the first predetermined threshold voltage. Because the first power voltage is written into the first node to control the lighting device to generate light when the first control signal is higher than the first predetermined threshold voltage, this could prevent the lighting device from generating the color shift. In this way, the requirement for the chip performance is comparatively low and thus the manufacturing cost is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11398192
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a first memory, and a degradation compensator. The first memory device stores stress data including degradation values representing a degradation degree of each of the blocks in the display panel. The degradation compensator loads the stress data from the first memory device, updates the stress data based on current input data and a maximum degradation value, updates the maximum degradation value based on degradation values included in the updated stress data, and generate compensated data by compensating for the current input data based on the updated stress data. The degradation compensator determines whether a first degradation value included in the stress data is normal by comparing the first degradation value with the maximum degradation value, and updates the first degradation value based on at least one adjacent degradation value adjacent to the first degradation value, when the first degradation value is abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11393401
    Abstract: A data driving circuit, controller, and display device include a compensation table for compensating for degradation of a light emitting subpixel. The compensation table may be generated or updated based on degradation of a dummy subpixel. The dummy subpixel is disposed in a non-active area, and has the same or similar characteristics to those of the light emitting subpixel as the display device is driven. Degree of degradation of the dummy subpixel may be sensed, and by degrading the dummy subpixel more rapidly than the light emitting subpixel, accuracy of sensing may be enhanced. The degradation compensation is performed in real time during driving of the display device, and is based on the compensation table generated or updated using the degree of degradation sensed on the dummy subpixel.
