The present disclosure provides a backlight module and a display device having same for overcoming a technical problem of having a lower brightness in combining areas in conventional mini-LED backlight modules.
The present disclosure provides the backlight module, comprising a plurality of backplanes that are combined. Wherein a plurality of light emitting units are disposed on the backplane for emitting light under control of power source high potential signals and power source low potential signals. Wherein the light emitting units include first light emitting units that are located in a combining area of adjacent backplanes and second light emitting units that are located in other areas of the backplanes.

As shown in
The light emitting units 100 located within combining areas 11 of adjacent backplanes 10 are first light emitting units 110, and the light emitting units 100 located within other areas 12 are second light emitting units 120. Because the backlight module is formed by combining the plurality of backplanes 10, and due to the limitations of manufacturing processes, in two adjacent backplanes 10, an interval a between two rows of first light emitting units 110 which are located in the combining area 11 are larger than an interval b between any two adjacent rows of the second light emitting units 120 which are located in the other areas 12. Therefore, when light emission intensity of the first light emitting units 110 and a light emission intensity of the second light emitting units 120 is the same, an overall brightness after light mixing in different rows of the first light emitting units 110 in the combining area 11 is low, an overall brightness after light mixing in different rows of the second light emitting units 120 of the other areas 12 is high, and seam shadows thus appear in the combining area 11. The seam shadows affect the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel when backlight is provided for liquid crystal display panel.
As shown in
Data, under control of scan signals, Scan. The driving module 102 is connected with the data signal input module 101 and is configured for driving the light emitting units 100 to emit light under control of the data signals, Data, and power source high potential signals, VDD. The storage module 103 is connected with the data signal input module 101, and the driving module 102 and is configured for the storage of the data signals Data.
Specifically, the data signal input module 101 comprises a switch transistor, T2, the driving module 102 comprises a driving transistor, T1, and the storage module 103 comprises a storage capacitor, Cs. A gate electrode of the switch transistor, T2 is inputted with the scan signals Scan and a first electrode of the switch transistor, T2 is inputted with the data signals, Data. A second electrode of the switch transistor, T2 is connected with a gate electrode of the driving transistor T1 and with a first electrode plate of the storage capacitor, Cs. A second electrode plate of the storage capacitor, Cs, is grounded. A first electrode of the driving transistor, T1, is inputted with the power source high potential signals, VDD, and a second electrode of the driving transistor T1 is inputted with the power source low potential signals, VSS.
Working stages of the light emitting unit 100 include a data writing stage, t1, and a light emitting stage, t2. During the date writing stage tl, the scan signals Scan are at high electrical potential, and the switch transistor, T2, is switched on. The data signals, Data, are transmitted to the gate electrode of the driving transistor, T1, and are stored in the storage capacitor, Cs. The driving transistor, T1, is switched on, and thus makes the light emitting unit 100 to emit light. During the light emitting stage, t2, the scan signals Scan are at low electrical potential, the switch transistor, T2, is switched off, and a gate electrode potential that drives the transistor, T1, may be maintained by the storage capacitor, Cs, thereby making the light emitting unit 100 to continue emitting light.
The light emission intensity of the light emitting unit 100 relates to a voltage difference between the power source high potential signals, VDD, and the power source low potential signals, VSS. The greater the voltage difference is, the greater the light emission intensity of the light emitting unit 100 is.
As shown in
In an embodiment, for two adjacent backplanes 10, the intensity of the first power source high potential signals, VDD1, corresponding to any one of the backplanes is greater than that of the second power source high potential signals VVD2 corresponding to the same backplane. Wherein, as shown in
In an embodiment, for two adjacent backplanes 10, the intensity of the first power source high potential signals, VDD1, corresponding to one of the two backplanes 10 is greater than that of the second power source high potential signals, VDD2, corresponding to the same backplane, and the intensity of the first power source high potential signals, VDD1, corresponding to the other backplane is equal to that of the second power source high potential signals, VDD2, corresponding to the same backplane. As shown in
As shown in
In addition, in the backplane 10, the intensity of the power source low potential signals, VSS, corresponding to each light emitting units 100, respectively, are equal. Therefore, the voltage difference between the power source high potential signals, VDD, and power source low potential signals, VSS, may be increased, and the brightness of the corresponding light emitting units 100 may thus be increased, merely by changing a value of the power source high potential signals, VDD.
On each backplane 10, each row of the light emitting units 100 are correspondingly connected with the power source high potential signal wire. Corresponding power source high potential signals, VDD, in each of the power source high potential signal wires are provided by the driving chip 30 connected with the backplane 10. That is, the driving chip 30 inputs the first power source high potential signals, VDD1, and the second power source high potential signals, VDD2, to the light emitting units 100. There may be two ways to determine a specific value of the first power source high potential signals, VDD1.
In an embodiment, the driving chip 30 is configured for querying a corresponding voltage compensation value from a locally stored voltage compensation comparison table according to the brightness difference between the combining area 11 and the other areas 12, and then adds the voltage compensation value to the second power source high potential signal, VDD2, to obtain the first power source high potential signal, VDD1. The voltage compensation comparison table has been stored in the driving chip 30 in advanced. The table includes a plurality of brightness values or brightness ranges. For each of the plurality of brightness values or brightness ranges, there is a corresponding voltage compensation value. After the brightness difference between the combining area 11 and the other areas 12 is obtained, and the corresponding voltage compensation value is found in the voltage compensation comparison table, the corresponding voltage compensation value is added to the value of the second power source high potential signal, VDD2. The added value is inputted to the first light emitting units 110, thereby, the light emission intensity of the first light emitting units 110 may be increased, and the increased portion of the brightness is just enough to compensate the aforementioned brightness difference. It is more convenient and faster to obtain the voltage compensation values by querying the values from the table.
In an embodiment, the driving chip 30 is configured for calculating the corresponding voltage compensation value according to the brightness difference between the combining area 11 and the other areas 12, and then adds the voltage compensation value to the second power source high potential signal, VDD2, to obtain the first power source high potential signal, VDD1. For each of the plurality of brightness values or brightness ranges, there is a corresponding voltage compensation value. After the brightness difference between the combining area 11 and the other areas 12 is obtained and the corresponding voltage compensation value is calculated by the driving chip 30, the voltage compensation value is added to the value of the second power source high potential signal, VDD2. The added value is inputted to the first light emitting units 110, thereby the light emission intensity of the first light emitting units 110 may be increased, and the increased portion of the brightness is just enough to compensate the aforementioned brightness difference. It is more accurate to obtain the voltage compensation value by calculation.
In the present disclosure, by aforementioned means, the intensity of the first power source high potential signals, VDD1, is set to be greater than that of the second power source high potential signals, VDD2, so the difference between the intensity of the power source high potential signals, VDD, and that of the power source low potential signals, VSS, is greater in the combining areas 11. Therefore, the brightness of the corresponding first light emitting units 110 is greater than the brightness of the second light emitting units 120, and thus the overall brightness of the first light emitting units 110 in the combining area 11 that have large intervals and the overall brightness of the second light emitting units 120 in the other areas 12 that have small intervals are made equal. Therefore, the display effect of the display device is enhanced.
As shown in

By setting the intensity of the first power source high potential signals to be greater than the intensity of the second power source high potential signals, the difference between the intensity of the power source high potential signals and that of the power source low potential signals is made greater in the combining areas. Therefore, the brightness of the corresponding first light emitting units is greater than the brightness of the second light emitting units, and thus the overall brightness of the first light emitting units in the combining area that have large intervals and the overall brightness of the second light emitting units in the other areas that have small intervals are made equal. Therefore, the display effect of the display device is enhanced.
