Adaptive feedback system for compensating for aging pixel areas with enhanced estimation speed
First Claim
1. A method of compensating for adverse phenomena of pixels of a display panel comprising a plurality of areas, each pixel comprising a drive transistor and a light-emitting device, the method comprising:
- tracking for each pixel, characteristic data representing at least one characteristic indicative of at least one adverse phenomenon associated with the pixel;
during a frame period, measuring the at least one characteristic of a number of pixels of each area, the number of pixels of each area measured determined to be larger for an area continuously exhibiting the at least one adverse phenomenon than for an area not continuously exhibiting the at least one adverse phenomenon;
updating the characteristic data for the number of pixels of the display based on measurements of the number of pixels of each area; and
compensating for the at least one adverse phenomenon for at least the number of pixels of each area with use of updated characteristic data of the number of pixels of each area.

Abstract
A local priority-based scanning scheme that focuses scanning to areas of a display panel whose measured characteristics are under continuous change (e.g., aging or relaxation). The algorithm identifies areas or regions needing compensation, using a current measurement from a single pixel in an area as a candidate to determine whether the rest of the region needs further compensation. The algorithm thus detects newly changed areas quickly, focusing time-consuming measurements on those areas that need high attention. Optionally, neighboring pixels sharing the same state (e.g., aging or overcompensated) as the measured pixel can be adjusted automatically given the likelihood that the neighboring pixels will also require compensation if the measured pixel needs compensation.
