Abstract: The present invention relates to a synthesis method and synthesis reactor of high-selectivity 2-methylallyl chloride by taking isobutylene and chlorine gas as raw materials and performing a gas-phase chlorination reaction in a microchannel reactor with a cooling surface. The isobutylene and the chlorine gas are reacted in a T-shaped microchannel reactor, and the mixing speed is extremely fast. Meanwhile, the huge heat exchange area per unit volume can ensure that the reaction proceeds stably at a substantially constant temperature and has good controllability. Therefore, side reactions caused by excessive local temperature can be effectively suppressed, the reaction selectivity is high, and no coking phenomenon occurs.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for determining an overdrive mapping correlation in a display panel. The method includes the following steps. First, a repeating subpixel arrangement is determined. The subpixel arrangement includes at least three sets of subpixels in the display panel. An ideal luminance value of a pattern of the subpixel arrangement is then determined. The pattern includes at least a first set of subpixels displaying a zero pixel value, a second set of subpixels displaying a first nonzero pixel value, and a third set of subpixels displaying a second nonzero pixel value, the first, second and third sets of subpixels respectively arranged one after another. The first nonzero pixel value may be different from the second nonzero gray scale value. An actual luminance value of the pattern of the subpixel arrangement is then determined. An overdrive pixel value is further determined.
