BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The invention relates in general to a display and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a display applying low color shift (LCS) technology and a driving method thereof.


2. Description of the Related Art


Liquid crystal display (LCD), having the advantages of small volume, light weight and low radiation, has been widely used in various fields of application. In general, a liquid crystal display includes an LCD panel and a backlight module. The LCD panel determines the transmission of each pixel in response to a display data voltage applied thereon. The backlight module uniformly projects a back light to the LCD panel. Thus, the liquid crystal display may correspondingly display the display data.


Since the voltage-transmission curve of each pixel varies with the user's viewing angle (relative to the display surface of the liquid crystal display), color shift arises accordingly. In terms of the existing charge sharing low color shift (LCS), corresponding display areas of different scan lines of the liquid crystal display have different brightness levels, hence resulting in band mura. Therefore, how to provide an LCS liquid crystal display capable of effectively reducing the band mura effect and a driving method has become a prominent task for the industries.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
First Embodiment

In the display of the present embodiment, a plurality of metal lines capable of forming equivalent capacitance with a common electrode is disposed on a second substrate. By triggering voltage level shifting events on the metal lines, substantially the same capacitance coupling events are triggered with respect to the common electrode in all scan periods, so that the common electrode has stable voltage level in all scan periods.


Referring to FIG. 1, a block diagram of a display according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. The display 1 of the present embodiment, realized by such as an active matrix liquid crystal display (LED) device, includes a display panel 11, a scan driver 12, a control driver 13, a data driver 14 and a timing sequence controller 15.


Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, a top view of a display panel 11 according to a first embodiment of the invention and a cross-sectional view of a display panel 11 along cross-sectional line A-A′ are respectively shown. The display panel 11 includes a first substrate 112 and a second substrate 114. The first substrate 112 has a common electrode 112a. The second substrate 114 includes an opening area 114a in which M scan lines S1˜S_M, N data lines D1˜D_N, M control lines C1˜C_M and M×N pixels P(1,1)˜P(M,N) are disposed, wherein M and N are natural numbers greater than 1. The second substrate 114a further includes a blocking area 114b in which metal lines DL1 and DL2 are disposed. The blocking area 114b is disposed on the second substrate 114 and corresponds to the common electrode 112. Furthermore, metal lines DL1 and DL2 are substantially covered by the common electrode 112a.


Each of the M×N pixels P(1,1)˜P(M,N) substantially has a similar circuit structure. The structures of the MxN pixels P(1,1)˜P(M,N) are exemplified by an (i,j)th pixel P(i,j), wherein i and j respectively are a natural number smaller than or equal to M and a natural number smaller than or equal to N.


Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of pixel P(i,j) according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. The pixel P(i,j) includes sub-pixels PL and PD. The sub-pixel PL is electrically connected to the scan line S_i and the data line D_i, and includes a charge switch Q1 and a liquid crystal capacitor CLC1. For example, the charge switch Q1 is implemented by a thin film transistor (TFT) whose first source/drain is coupled to the data line D_i, second source/drain is coupled to the liquid crystal capacitor CLC1, and gate end is coupled to the scan line S_i.


The sub-pixel PD is electrically connected to the scan line S_i, the data line D_i and the control line C_i, and includes a charge switch Q2, a discharge switch Q3, a liquid crystal capacitor CLC2 and a discharge capacitor CS. For example, the charge switch Q2 and the discharge switch Q3 may also be implemented by a TFT. In the charge switch Q2, the first source/drain is coupled to the data line D_i, the second source/drain is coupled to the liquid crystal capacitor CLC2, and the gate end is coupled to the scan line S_i. In the discharge switch Q3, the first source/drain is coupled to liquid crystal capacitor CLC2, the second source/drain is coupled to the discharge capacitor CS, and the gate end is coupled to the control line C_i.


For the pixel P(i,j), the charge switches Q1 and Q2 are enabled in response to an enabled scan signal Ssi (provided on the scan line S_i) for storing a data voltage on the data line D_j to the liquid crystal capacitors CLC1 and CLC2. The discharge switch Q3 is enabled in response to an enabled control signal Sci (provided on the control line C_i) for sharing charges on the liquid crystal capacitor CLC2 to the discharge capacitor CS.


Referring to FIG. 1 again. The scan driver 12 is electrically connected to each of the M scan lines S1˜S_M for providing M scan signals Ss1˜SsM to drive M scan lines S1˜-S_M in M scan periods TP1˜TP_M respectively. The data driver 14 is electrically connected to N data lines D1˜D_N for providing data voltages Sd1˜SdN to each of the N data lines D1˜D_N in each of M scan periods TP1˜TP_M.


The control driver 13 is electrically connected to each of the M control lines C1—C_M for providing enabled control signals Sc1˜ScM-K to drive the first to the (M−K)th control lines C1˜C_(M−K) in the (K+1)th to the Mth scan periods TP_K+1˜TP_M respectively to turn on the discharge switch in each of the pixels on the first to the (M−K)th control lines C1˜C_M−K, wherein K is a natural number smaller than or equal to M. The control driver 13 further drives one of the metal lines DL1 and DL2 to trigger a level shifting event in each of the first to the Kth scan periods TP1˜TP_K.


Referring to FIG. 4, related signal timing diagrams of a display 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention are shown. Furthermore, the scan driver 12 provides enabled scan signals Ss1˜SsM (corresponding to high signal level) in scan periods TP1˜TP_M respectively, and provides non-enabled scan signals Ss1˜SsM (corresponding to low signal levels) in scan periods other than TP1˜TP_M. In addition, in each of scan periods TP1˜TP_M, the data driver 14 further correspondingly provides data voltages Sd1˜SdN to each of the N data lines D1˜D_N for writing corresponding data voltages to pixels on the corresponding pixel row. Suppose each pixel has a circuit diagram as indicated in FIG. 3. The charge switches Q1 and Q2 are turned on in response to the enabled scan signals for storing corresponding data voltages to the liquid crystal capacitors CLC1 and CLC2.


The control driver 13 provides enabled control signals Sc1˜Sc(M−K) (corresponding to high signal levels) in scan periods TP_K+1˜TP_M respectively, and provides non-enabled control signals ScK+1˜ScM (corresponding to low signal level) in scan periods other than scan periods TP_K+1˜TP_M. The control signals ScM-K+1˜ScM continuously are non-enabled in scan periods TP1˜TP_M. In other words, for each of the pixels P(1,1)˜P(M−K,N) on the first to the (M−K)th pixel rows of the display panel 11, the charge switches Q1 and Q2 write corresponding data voltages to the liquid crystal capacitors CLC1 and CLC2. In K scan periods after corresponding data voltages are written to the liquid crystal capacitors CLC1 and CLC2, the discharge switch Q3 is turned on in response to corresponding control signals to share charges on the liquid crystal capacitor CLC2 to the discharge capacitor CS. Since the sub-pixels PL and PD of each of the pixels P(1,1)˜P(M−K,N) on the first to the (M−K)th pixel rows correspond to different data voltages, the sub-pixels PL and PD have different liquid crystal inclination angles and the low color shift (LCS) display technology is correspondingly implemented.


For each of the pixels P(M−K+1,1)˜P(M,N) on the (M−K+1)th to the Mth pixel rows of the display panel 11, its corresponding control signals ScM−K+1˜ScM are continuously non-enabled in scan periods TP1˜TP_M. Thus, each of the pixels P(M−K+1,1)-P(M,N) on the (M−K+)th to the Mth pixel rows substantially is not designed to perform the abovementioned charge operation between the liquid crystal capacitor CLC2 and the discharge capacitor C.


Under the abovementioned driving operation of the control driver 13, level shifting event occurs on only one metal wire (corresponding to scan line S1 to S_K) in each of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K, but occurs on two metal wires concurrently (corresponding to scan lines S_K+1˜S_M and control lines C1˜C_M−K) in each of the scan periods TP_K+1˜TP_M. In addition, the scan lines or the control lines and the common electrode 112a may be equivalently used as a parasitic capacitor, and the voltage level shifting events triggered thereon correspondingly affect the voltage level on the common electrode 112a through the capacitance coupling effect.


In terms of the display 1 of the present embodiment, the number of metal wires (that is, only one metal wire) on which level switching event occurs in scan periods TP1˜TP_K is not equal to the number of metal wires (that is, two metal wires) on which level switching event occurs in periods TP_K+1˜TP_M. Thus, the common electrode 112a face different intensities of capacitance coupling effect in the two sets of scan periods disclosed above, and accordingly correspond to different voltage levels. Thus, the brightness in the first to the Kth pixel rows of the display 1 will be different from the brightness in the (K+1)th to the Mth pixel rows, hence resulting in band mura as illustrated FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, the first to the Kth pixel rows of the display 1 are denoted by “/” and the (K+1)th to the Mth pixel rows are denoted by “+”.


To resolve the above band mura problem which jeopardizes display quality, the control driver 13 of the present embodiment drives one of the metal lines DL1 and DL2 to trigger a level shifting event in each of the first to the Kth scan periods TP1˜TP_K. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, a level shifting event is triggered on the metal line DL1 in odd-numbered scan periods of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K, and is triggered on the metal line DL2 in even-numbered scan periods of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K. Through the driving operation of the control driver 13, level shifting events are triggered on two metal lines in any of the M scan periods TP1˜TP_M, so that the common electrode 112a receives substantially the same capacitance coupling effect and accordingly maintains substantially the same voltage level over the M scan periods TP1˜TP_M.


In comparison to a conventional display, the display 1 of the present embodiment controls the common electrode 112a to continuously have substantially the same voltage level, so that band mura is correspondingly eliminated and display quality is effectively improved.


Let an operating example be taken for example, a ratio of parameter K to parameter M of the present embodiment is substantially greater than or equal to 1/1000 and smaller than or equal to 1/5, and the value of K is adjustable. In an operating example with the parameter M being equal to 1080, the value of parameter K is substantially greater than 2 and substantially smaller than or equal to 216.


Let another operating example be taken for example. The control driving circuit 13 of the present embodiment is controlled by the timing sequence controller 15 to determine the timing sequence in the scan periods TP1˜TP_M.


In the present embodiment, the display panel 11 has two metal lines DL1 and DL2. However, the display 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to the above exemplification. In other examples, the display of the present embodiment may selectively have three or more than three metal lines disposed on the display panel, and the position of the metal lines is not limited to the underneath of the display panel. For example, the metal lines can be disposed in any part of the non-opening area covered by the common electrode.


Referring to FIG. 6, a flowchart of a driving method according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. Detailed descriptions of each step of the driving method of the present embodiment are already disclosed in above passages, and are not repeated here.


Second Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 7, a schematic diagram of a display panel according to a second embodiment of the invention is shown. The display of the present embodiment is different from the display 1 of the first embodiment in that the display panel 11′ does not have any metal lines, and the display of the present embodiment adjusts the wave-patterns of the control signals Cs′1˜Cs′M−K to have additional level shifting events triggered on partial or all of the control lines C1˜C_M−K in each of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K.


Thus, the display 1′ of the present embodiment may trigger substantially the same capacitance coupling event with respect to the common electrode in each of the scan periods, so that the common electrode maintains stable voltage level over all scan periods.


Referring to FIG. 8, related signal timing diagrams of a display according to a second embodiment of the invention are shown. Over the scan periods TP1˜TP_M, the operations performed by the scan driver and the data driver of the display of the present embodiment are substantially the same with that performed by corresponding drivers of the first embodiment. Over the scan periods TP_K+1˜TP_M, the operations performed by the control driver of the display of the present embodiment are substantially the same with that performed by the control driver 13 of the first embodiment. Therefore, operations performed by the scan driver and the data driver of the present embodiment are the same with that performed by corresponding drivers of the first embodiment, and are not repeated here.


In each of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1, the control driver of the present embodiment further drives the second to the Kth control lines C2˜C_K of the M control lines C1˜C_M to trigger level shifting events in the first to the (K−1)th scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 respectively. For example, the control driver of the present embodiment enables control signals Cs′2˜Cs′K in the first to the (K−1)th scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 to correspondingly drive the control lines C2˜C_K to trigger level shifting events in corresponding scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 respectively.


For the pixels on the rows correspondingly controlled by the control lines C2˜C_K (that is, pixels P(2,1)˜P(K,N) on the second to the Kth rows of the display panel 11′), the enable periods (scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1) of the control signals Cs′2˜Cs′K received by the pixels are triggered prior to the enable periods (scan periods TP2˜TP_K) of the scan signals Ss2˜SsK received by the pixels. In other words, apart from the LCS operation as disclosed in the first embodiment, the pixels P(2,1)˜P(K,N) on the second to the Kth rows are further designed to perform a pre-LCS operation before the data scanning operation is performed.


By performing the pre-LCS operation on pixels P(2,1)˜P(K,N) on the second to the Kth rows by the driving controller of the present embodiment, level shifting events are triggered on two metal wires in any of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 and TP_K+1˜TP_M. Thus, in each of M scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 and TP_K+1˜TP_M, the common electrode 112a receives substantially the same capacitance coupling effect, and accordingly maintains substantially the same voltage level over the scan periods TP1˜TP_K−1 and TP_K+1˜TP_M.


Let an operating example be taken for example. The driving controller of the present embodiment further drives the first control line C_1 of the M control lines to trigger a level shifting event in the pre-operation period TPx prior to the first scan period TP1. In other words, pixels P(1,1)˜P(1,N) on the first row of the display panel 11′ of the present embodiment are also designed to perform the pre-LCS operation.


In the present embodiment, the driving controller performs a pre-LCS operation on the pixels P(2,1)˜P(K,N) on the second to the Kth rows in each of the scan periods TP1˜TP_K, wherein the scan periods TP1˜TP_K are one period prior to the scan periods TP2˜TP_K corresponding to the pixels P(2,1)˜P(K,N) on the second to the Kth rows. However, the driving controller of the present embodiment is not limited thereto. In other examples, the driving controller may also perform the pre-LCS operation on the pixels two or more than two periods prior to the original scan periods corresponding to the pixels.


While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of the preferred embodiment(s), it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements and procedures, and the scope of the appended claims therefore should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements and procedures.
