  • Patent number: 11955096
    Abstract: A display method of a display panel, a display device, and a server are disclosed. The display method divides an initial image into a plurality of sub-frame images having a same frequency, and the frequency of the sub-frame images is a multiple of a frequency of the initial image. The sub-frame images are input into the display panel in sequence and are combined to obtain a target image. The target image is used to drive the display panel to display the initial image, thereby reducing a refresh rate of the display panel for inputting data. Therefore, the display panel can realize low frequency input and prevent frame loss.

  • Patent number: 11935478
    Abstract: The OLED voltage of a selected pixel is extracted from the pixel produced when the pixel is programmed so that the pixel current is a function of the OLED voltage. One method for extracting the OLED voltage is to first program the pixel in a way that the current is not a function of OLED voltage, and then in a way that the current is a function of OLED voltage. During the latter stage, the programming voltage is changed so that the pixel current is the same as the pixel current when the pixel was programmed in a way that the current was not a function of OLED voltage. The difference in the two programming voltages is then used to extract the OLED voltage.
