Abstract
A display device includes a processor and a display panel. The processor is configured to output multiple display signals. The display panel includes multiple display units and multiple temperature sensors. The display units are electrically coupled to the processor and configured to receive the multiple display signals to provide a display screen. The temperature sensors are electrical coupled to the processor and configured to detect the temperature of different areas of the display panel so as to transmit multiple detection signals to the processor so that the processor adjusts at least one of the display signals.
Claims10
A display device, comprising:
- a processor configured to output a plurality of display signals;
- and
- a display panel, comprising:
- an ink layer comprising a display medium, wherein the display medium comprises an electrophoretic fluid with a plurality of colored charged particles;
- a plurality of display units electrically coupled to the processor and configured to receive the plurality of display signals so as to provide a display screen;
- and
- a plurality of temperature sensors electrically coupled to the processor, wherein the plurality of temperature sensors are configured to detect temperatures of display areas in the display panel, and transmit a plurality of detection signals to the processor in an idle period accordingly,
- wherein the processor adjusts at least one of the plurality of display signals according to at least one of the plurality of detection signals,
- wherein the processor is configured to adjust a duration time of electric field generated by the plurality of display units for driving the plurality of colored charged particles in an update period following the idle period according to the plurality of detection signals,
- wherein when the processor determines that temperature of the display areas indicated by the plurality of detection signals is higher than a threshold value, the processor reduces the duration time of electric field generated by the plurality of display units in the update period for driving the plurality of colored charged particles, and
- when the processor determines that temperature of the display areas indicated by the plurality of detection signals is lower than a threshold value, the processor increase the duration time of electric field generated by the plurality of display units in the update period for driving the plurality of colored charged particles.
