  • Patent number: 11335285
    Abstract: A circuit and method facilitate driving a display panel to display an image with improved brightness uniformity are disclosed. In the circuit, an image information extraction sub-circuit extracts, and sends to a compensation processing sub-circuit, display information of each of the plurality of pixels based on the image. The compensation processing sub-circuit then divides a display region of the display panel into a plurality of sub-regions, obtains an average brightness value of each sub-region, and further determines whether a compensation is needed for displaying the image based on a uniformity of the average brightness values of all sub-regions. If so, the compensation processing sub-circuit further performs compensation to an input voltage and/or an effective light output area of each of the pixels to be lightened in each sub-region to thereby obtain an improved brightness uniformity when displaying the image.

  • Patent number: 11289048
    Abstract: A GPU is generally configured to detect changes in the rate of frame generation that can result from, for example, changes in the complexity of the frames being generated. In response to detecting the change in the rate of frame generation, the GPU identifies a corresponding change in the refresh rate that would be required to fully synchronize the refresh rate with the rate of frame generation. If the change in the refresh rate falls outside the boundaries of a specified or dynamically generated window, the GPU limits the change in refresh rate to the corresponding boundary.

  • Patent number: 11282434
    Abstract: A method is provided for driving an active matrix display device comprising a matrix of pixels configured to display an n-bit image data in an image frame by dividing the image frame for each pixel into n subframes; defining the n-bit image data to have n1 number of greater significant bits and n2 number of lesser significant bits, where n1+n2=n; and selecting the rows of pixels non-sequentially in the subframes corresponding to the n2 number of lesser significant bits such that there is no more than one row of pixel being selected in each subframe. The provided method can utilize the scan sequence in a more flexible way to make better use of the available scan time such that a higher display resolution or dynamic range can be achieved without increasing the scanning frequency.
