BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE

Field of Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to a field of display technology, and more particularly to a display device driving method and a display device.

Description of Prior Art

In a driving process of a conventional display device, a driving circuit and a driving voltage are designed in order to reduce or eliminate color deviation problems in different viewing angles. Specifically, 3T (i.e., three thin film transistors) is used to share a potential of an electrode drain auxiliary sub-pixel so that the auxiliary sub-pixel has different brightness at different grayscales, thereby improving color deviation. In this process, a common voltage (CF COM) of each grayscale is determined using a best common voltage of a high grayscale. However, when the common voltage of each grayscale is determined using the best common voltage of the high grayscale, in order to prevent grayscale crosstalk, the best common voltage of the low grayscale is shifted, and screen flashes and mura deteriorates in the low grayscale, so that a yield of the display device is reduced and a display effect is reduced.

Therefore, the conventional display device has a technical problem that determining the common voltage of each grayscale using an optimal common voltage of a high grayscale may cause the common voltage of each grayscale to be shifted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device driving method and a display device for solving a technical problem that a common voltage of each grayscale is shifted due to determining a common voltage of each grayscale using an optimal common voltage of a high grayscale in a conventional display device.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device driving method, and the display device driving method comprises:

• • S1, obtaining an optimal common voltage of a standard grayscale of the display device;
  • S2 determining optimal common voltages of other grayscales based on the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale;
  • S3, determining whether there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales based on the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and a standard value corresponding to each grayscale; and
  • S4, when there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales, the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales are corrected, and the corrected optimal common voltages drive the display device.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device driving method. When optimal common voltages of other grayscales are determined by using an optimal common voltage of a standard grayscale, when the grayscale shift occurs in the other grayscales, the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales are corrected, so that the correct common voltages can be adopted when the display device is driven, and problems such as screen flicker caused by grayscale shift in the display device are prevented.

It should be noted that the standard grayscale refers to a grayscale for determining a common voltage of each grayscale. For example, a voltage signal comprises 0 to 255, 256 grayscales in total. If an optimal common voltage of the 255th grayscale is used to determine common voltages of other grayscales, the 255th grayscale is the standard grayscale.

It should be noted that the optimal common voltage refers to the optimal CF com voltage whose value makes the CF com voltage at an intermediate value of forward and reverse frame voltages. For example, if the forward and reverse frame voltages are respectively forward 10V and reverse 10V, the optimal common voltage is 0V.

It should be noted that the grayscale shift refers to a state in which a theoretical intermediate value of the forward voltage and the reverse voltage of a certain grayscale of the display device is different from an actual intermediate value. For example, if a theoretical intermediate value of the 64th grayscale determined according to the 255th grayscale is 0.3 volts, but it is determined by measurement that an actual forward voltage of the 64th grayscale is 3V and an actual reverse voltage is −3V, the actual intermediate value is 0V, it is determined that the theoretical intermediate value of the 64th grayscale is different from the actual intermediate value, and it is determined that the grayscale shift occurs in the 64th grayscale.

In one embodiment, when optimal common voltages of the other grayscales are determined according to the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale, the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale can be directly determined as a common voltage of a low grayscale when an optimal common voltage of a high grayscale is currently used to determine the common voltages of the other grayscales, and the driving circuit of the display device is driven using the common voltage of each grayscale. Therefore, the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale can be used as the optimal common voltage of the other grayscales, and then whether the grayscale shift occurs or not is determined and adaptively modified.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a 256-grayscale driving mode is used as an example. The CF com is determined according to the 255th grayscale L255. However, in an actual process, a voltage of a low grayscale is shifted. For example, an intermediate value of forward and reverse frame voltages of the 255th grayscale L255 is different from that of CF corn determined by the 255th grayscale L255.

In one embodiment, the standard value refers to an actual standard common voltage of each grayscale, that is, corresponding to each grayscale, the intermediate value determined by the actual forward and reverse frame voltages, for example, if the intermediate value of the actual forward and reverse frame voltages, is 1, the standard value is 1, and this value is not determined by the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale.

In one embodiment, before the step of determining whether there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales according to the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale, the method further comprises:

• • Obtaining an actual forward driving voltage and an actual forward driving voltage for each grayscale;
  • The standard value corresponding to each grayscale is determined based on the actual forward driving voltage and the actual reverse driving voltage of each grayscale. According to the actual forward driving voltage and the actual reverse driving voltage of each grayscale, an actual intermediate value of each grayscale can be determined, and then the standard value corresponding to each grayscale can be determined through the actual intermediate value.

In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales according to the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale comprises:

• • Comparing the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales with the standard value corresponding to each grayscale, and determining a difference between the optimal common voltage of each grayscale and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale;
  • Determining whether or not there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales based on the difference between the optimal common voltage of each grayscale and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale and a preset value. When determining the optimal common voltage of each grayscale and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale, considering that a certain error still exists in the driving voltage even if the driving voltage is compensated by the circuit or the driving method, it is possible to set the preset value such that when the difference between the optimal common voltage of each grayscale and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale is less than the preset value, it is determined that the grayscale is not shifted, and when the difference is greater than or equal to the preset value, it is indicated that the grayscale is shifted, and then the corresponding processing is performed.

In one embodiment, the standard value may also be the maximum forward driving voltage, and whether the grayscale shift problem occurs is determined by comparing the maximum forward driving voltage with the actual forward driving voltage.

In one embodiment, the step of determining whether there is a grayscale shift in the other grayscales according to the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale includes:

• • Obtaining a maximum forward driving voltage of the standard grayscale;
  • Determining maximum forward driving voltages of the other grayscales according to the maximum forward driving voltage of the standard grayscale, the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale, and the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales, and determining the maximum forward driving voltages of the other grayscales as the standard values corresponding to each grayscale;
  • Determining whether the other grayscales have a grayscale shift based on the standard values corresponding to the other grayscales and the actual forward driving voltages of the other grayscales. When the driving voltage of the display device is determined, the driving voltage of each grayscale is determined. Therefore, the maximum forward driving voltages of the other grayscales can be determined by the maximum forward driving voltage of the standard grayscale, the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale, and the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales, and the maximum forward driving voltages of the other grayscales can be determined as the standard value corresponding to each grayscale, so that whether or not each grayscale has a grayscale shift can be determined based on the theoretical maximum forward driving voltage of each grayscale and the actual forward driving voltage.

Specifically, for example, if the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale is used as the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales, the theoretical maximum forward driving voltage of each grayscale may be determined according to the grayscale difference between the standard grayscale and the other grayscales, the maximum forward driving voltage of the standard grayscale, and a ratio of the forward driving voltage of each grayscale, so that the maximum forward driving voltage and the actual forward driving voltage can be compared, and only the grayscale shift is determined.

The above-described embodiment is described in detail with respect to the determination of the grayscale shift by the forward driving voltage. However, this embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the grayscale shift may be determined by the reverse driving voltage. Specifically, the step of determining whether the other grayscales is shift according to the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale includes:

• • Obtaining a maximum reverse driving voltage of the standard grayscale;
  • Determining maximum reverse driving voltages of the other grayscales according to the maximum reverse driving voltage of the standard grayscale, the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale, and the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales, and determining the maximum reverse driving voltages of the other grayscales as the standard value corresponding to each grayscale;
  • Determining whether the other grayscales are shift based on the standard values corresponding to the other grayscales and the actual reverse driving voltages of the other grayscales. The theoretical reverse driving voltage of each grayscale is determined by the reverse driving voltage and the optimal common voltage, and whether a grayscale shift occurs is determined by the theoretical maximum forward driving voltage and the actual reverse driving voltage.

When the grayscale is shifted, a large shift is mainly generated in a part of the grayscale, or the shift of the part of the grayscale has a large effect on the display effect. In one embodiment, the step of correcting the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales when there is a grayscale shift and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltage comprises:

• • Determining critical grayscales of the other grayscales when there is a grayscale shift;
  • Correcting optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, and correcting optimal common voltages of non-critical grayscales among the other grayscales using the optimal common voltages after the critical grayscale correction;
  • Driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltages. By determining the critical grayscales in the grayscales when a grayscale shift occurs, and correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales are accurate. At the same time, for the non-critical grayscales, the optimal common voltages can be corrected according to the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, so that the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales and the non-critical grayscales can be corrected, and the display device is driven by the corrected optimal common voltages.

In one embodiment, the step of correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales and correcting the optimal common voltages of the non-critical grayscales among the other grayscales using the optimal common voltages after the critical grayscale correction includes:

• • Obtaining actual forward driving voltages and actual reverse driving voltages of the critical grayscales;
  • Determining actual optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales according to the actual forward driving voltages and the actual reverse driving voltages of the critical grayscales;
  • Correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales according to the actual optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, and correcting the optimal common voltages of the non-critical grayscales among the other grayscales using the optimal common voltages after the critical grayscale correction. When correcting the critical grayscales, the actual forward driving voltages and the actual reverse driving voltages of the critical grayscales may be obtained, and intermediate values of the actual forward driving voltages and the actual reverse driving voltages may be determined accordingly. Then, the actual optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales may be determined according to the intermediate values, and the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales may be corrected.

In correcting the optimal common voltages of the non-critical grayscales, it is considered that the shift difference between a critical grayscale and an adjacent non-critical grayscale is small. In one embodiment, the step of correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales and correcting the optimal common voltages of the non-critical grayscales among the other grayscales using the optimal common voltages after the critical grayscale correction includes:

• • Correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, and determining the optimal common voltages after the critical grayscale correction;
  • Determining a critical grayscale closest to a non-critical grayscale, and correcting an optimal common voltage of the non-critical grayscale using an optimal common voltage corrected for the closest critical grayscale. The common voltage of the non-critical grayscale is corrected by using the critical grayscale closest to the non-critical grayscale, so that the optimal common voltage of the non-critical grayscale and the adjacent critical grayscale are similar or the same, thereby the common voltage of the non-critical grayscale is corrected.

Specifically, for example, the critical grayscales include the 25th grayscale, the 48th grayscale, the 64th grayscale, the 127th grayscale, the 223th grayscale, and the 255th grayscale. After correcting the optimal common voltages of the critical grayscales, when correcting the non-critical grayscales, the nearest critical grayscales may be searched for, thereby correcting the non-critical grayscales. For example, if the non-critical grayscale is the 30th grayscale, it may be determined that the closest critical grayscale is the grayscale, thereby correcting the optimal common voltage of the 30th grayscale according to the optimal common voltage after correcting the 25th grayscale. Specifically, the optimal common voltage after the 25th grayscale correction may be the optimal common voltage at the 30th grayscale.

In the above embodiment, the optimal common voltages for correcting the other grayscales is described in detail by taking the critical grayscale as an example. However, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the step of correcting the optimal common voltages of other grayscales and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltages when the other grayscales are shifted includes:

• • Determining an actual forward driving voltage and an actual reverse driving voltage for each grayscale when there is grayscale shift for the other grayscales;
  • Determining an actual optimal common voltage of each grayscale according to the actual forward driving voltage and the actual reverse driving voltage of each grayscale;
  • Correcting the optimal common voltage of each grayscale according to the actual optimal common voltage of each grayscale, and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltage. Correcting the optimal common voltage of each grayscale by determining the actual driving voltage of the grayscale or the actual driving voltage of each grayscale at which the shift occurs when the grayscale shift occurs, and determining the actual optimal common voltage of each grayscale by the actual driving voltage of each grayscale, and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltage.

When the optimal common voltage for each grayscale is adjusted, a gamma voltage may be shifted. In one embodiment, the step of correcting the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltages when the other grayscales have a grayscale shift further comprises:

• • Determining a gamma voltage corresponding to each grayscale when correcting the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales;
  • When the gamma voltage corresponding to each grayscale is different from a preset gamma voltage, the gamma voltage of each grayscale is corrected. By determining the preset gamma voltage, for example 2.2, after correcting the optimal common voltage of each grayscale, the gamma voltage is corrected, for example 2.2, when the actual gamma voltage is different from the preset gamma voltage, thereby improving the display effect.

Specifically, in the driving process of the display device, the timing control board is used to detect a grayscale of a current screen, and when it is detected that a grayscale of the current screen is not a standard grayscale, the corrected optimal common voltage of each grayscale is called to drive the display device using the corrected optimal common voltage.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device, and the display device comprises:

• • An obtaining module 301 for obtaining an optimal common voltage of a standard grayscale of the display device;
  • A determining module 302 for determining optimal common voltages of other grayscales according to the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale;
  • A judging module 303, configured to determine whether the other grayscales is shift according to the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales and the standard value corresponding to each grayscale;
  • A driving module 304 for correcting the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales when there is grayscale shift, and driving the display device using the corrected optimal common voltages.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device which, in a driving process, by determining the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales when the optimal common voltage of the standard grayscale is adopted, corrects the optimal common voltages of the other grayscales when the other grayscales are shifted, so that a correct common voltage can be adopted when the display device is driven, and a problem such as screen flicker caused by the grayscale shift of the display device is prevented.
