US 2026/0229163 A1 · EMBEDDING PANEL-SPECIFIC DISPLAY INFORMATION FOR DISPLAY PANELS

Abstract

A panel assembly intended to be combined within a display unit has no timing controller but includes a non-volatile memory device for storing panel-specific information of its display panel. The manufacturer of the display panel stores a panel defect table, a mura correction table, a sub-pixel correction table, a gamma correction table, panel resolution or other data in the memory device during manufacture of the panel assembly. During final assembly of the display unit, the panel assembly is connected to the system-on-chip; at power-on, the system-on-chip transfers data from the memory device to itself and stores any tables or data within the system-on-a-chip, within a downstream transmitter if present, or in other locations to perform image processing upon incoming samples. Alternatively, these tables or data are stored within a USB drive or file which is delivered to the display unit manufacturer for transfer to the system-on-a-chip and storage as described.
