This disclosure relates to a technical field of a display, and more particularly to a display device and a driving method of the display device.
Most of conventional large-size liquid crystal display devices adopt the vertical alignment (VA) type liquid crystal with the negative dielectric constant or the in-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal. In the condition of the large viewing angle, the brightness of the pixel in the VA type liquid crystal display device rapidly gets saturated with the drive voltage, thereby causing the liquid crystal display device to have the more serious color shift phenomenon in the condition of the large viewing angle, and thus affecting the display quality of the liquid crystal display device.
The liquid crystal display device adopting the polarity inversion technology can improve the color shift problem in the condition of the large viewing angle. At present, the method of solving the large view-angle color shift problem of the liquid crystal display device is to divide each sub-pixel in the liquid crystal display panel into a primary pixel and a secondary pixel, and provide drive voltages with different polarities to the primary pixel and the secondary pixel of each sub-pixel, so that the primary and secondary pixels of each sub-pixel corresponding to the liquid crystal molecules have different deflection directions to enhance the optical isotropy effect of the liquid crystal molecule and to solve the color shift problem of the liquid crystal display panel in the condition of the large viewing angle.
However, providing different drive voltages to the primary pixel and the secondary pixel of each sub-pixel needs to add metal traces and thin film transistor elements to respectively drive the primary and secondary pixels, and these metal traces and thin film transistor elements reduce the light-permeable area of the liquid crystal display panel, thereby affecting the through rate of the liquid crystal display panel and increasing the backlight cost of the liquid crystal display panel.
In view of this, this disclosure provides a display device and a driving method of the display device. By displaying the same pre-display image in continuous m frame display cycles and setting the drive voltage of the blue sub-pixel on the display panel to be higher than a predetermined grayscale voltage corresponding to the blue sub-pixel in at least one frame display cycle of the m frame display cycles; and setting the drive voltage of the blue sub-pixel at the same position on the display panel to be lower than the predetermined grayscale voltage corresponding to the blue sub-pixel in at least one frame display cycle of the m frame display cycles, the deflection directions of the liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the blue sub-pixel at the same position on the display panel change in the m frame display cycles according to the property that the human eyes are less sensitive to the blue resolution. Thus, the problem that the metal trace and the thin film transistor element affect the transmission rate of the display panel in the existing technology is solved while the color shift problem of the liquid crystal display panel in the condition of the large viewing angle is improved.

Wherein m is an integer greater than 1.

In the step S110, a pre-display image is acquiring. Each sub-pixel in the pre-display image corresponds to a predetermined grayscale voltage.
Optionally, the pre-display image includes multiple sub-pixels. For the pre-display image, each sub-pixel corresponds to a predetermined grayscale value according to the position of the pre-display image where the sub-pixel is located to form the pre-display image.
In the step S120, the same pre-display image is displayed in continuous m frame display cycles. In the first frame display cycle of the m frame display cycles, the drive voltage of the blue sub-pixel is higher than the predetermined grayscale voltage corresponding to the blue sub-pixel; and in the second frame display cycle of the m frame display cycles, the drive voltage of the blue sub-pixel at the same position on the display panel is lower than the predetermined grayscale voltage corresponding to the blue sub-pixel, wherein m is an integer greater than 1.
