Patent number: 11410601Abstract: The present disclosure provides method and a computer readable medium for adjusting voltage applied on a display panel. The present disclosure could utilize the ratio of Vgs of two different tests, as an adjustment factor, to compensate the voltage value of each display area. Thus, the method could obtain the same compensation voltage for different display area to compensate the voltage difference between the node G and the node S. This could reduce the influence of the output step. In addition, the method could further detect the inputted compensation voltage to obtain a current value according to a second adjusting step.

Patent number: 11410594Abstract: A method of dynamic bias control of a source driver bases on data wing level for power-saving. In order to cover the operating conditions of various loads under normal operations, the output buffer circuit operation is biased. The method utilizes the display gray scale difference between a previous data line and an immediately subsequent data line to determine the bias current to be used for the output buffer. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is not large, the bias current of the output buffer can be reduced. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is large, the bias current of the output buffer is increased and the current of the output buffer is adjusted according to different load conditions to save power.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Chun-Hung Chen, Chia-Hsin Tung, Hsin-Hung Ou, Hung-Yi Lin
