Abstract

A display manufacturing system includes: a plurality of display devices, each including a display panel which displays an image; a driving voltage measurer which calculates a saturation voltage corresponding to a luminance of the image displayed on the display panel by changing a driving power voltage for driving the display panel; and a processor which calculates a current density and a degradation weight value based on the saturation voltage, and controls the display panel included in each of the plurality of display devices based on the current density and the degradation weight value.

Claims (38)

1. A display manufacturing system comprising:

a plurality of display devices, each including a display panel which displays an image;

a driving voltage measurer which calculates a saturation voltage corresponding to a luminance of the image displayed on the display panel by changing a driving power voltage for driving the display panel; and

a processor which calculates a current density and a degradation weight value based on the saturation voltage, and controls the display panel included in each of the plurality of display devices based on the current density and the degradation weight value,

wherein the processor calculates the degradation weight value, based on a center value of the current density of the display panel included in each of the plurality of display devices and the current density of a target display panel.

2. The display manufacturing system of claim 1 , wherein the saturation voltage is a voltage corresponding to a point at which a variation of the luminance is changed as the driving power voltage connected to a light emitting element of the display panel is changed.

3. The display manufacturing system of claim 1 , wherein the processor includes:

a memory which pre-stores a plurality of parameters for calculating the current density and the degradation weight value; and

a calculator which calculates the current density and the degradation weight value, based on the plurality parameters.

5. The display manufacturing system of claim 3 ,

wherein the memory pre-stores the current density corresponding to a change in driving voltage of a light emitting element of the display panel, and

wherein the driving voltage of the light emitting element is a voltage higher by a threshold voltage of the light emitting element than the driving power voltage.

6. The display manufacturing system of claim 5 , wherein the driving voltage of the light emitting element is a voltage corresponding to at a point at which a current flowing through the light emitting element and a current flowing through a driving transistor of the display panel are the same as each other.

7. The display manufacturing system of claim 5 , wherein the calculator calculates the current density corresponding to the saturation voltage by using the current density pre-stored in the memory.

8. The display manufacturing system of claim 1 ,

wherein the image is displayed by using at least one of a first color, a second color, and a third color, and

wherein the current density is calculated when the image is displayed by using one of the first color, the second color, and the third color.

9. A display manufacturing system comprising:
