The present application relates to a display technology field, and in particular to a display panel control method, a display module, and a display device.
When a liquid crystal display panel employing an in-plane switching technique performs a picture switching operation, a voltage applied to liquid crystal molecules is not changed in time to the voltage required for displaying a current picture, which is extremely likely to cause an image residual phenomenon on the display panel. Although the image residual phenomenon due to the voltage applied to the liquid crystal molecules being not changed in time can be improved by a capacitance compensation voltage connected in series between a gate and a source of a driving transistor, when the driving transistor is changed from an on state to an off state, a pixel voltage is changed due to a capacitance coupling effect. As a result, the capacitance compensation voltage connected in series between the gate and the source of the driving transistor cannot improve a problem such as a flicker or an image sticking due to unevenness of feed-through voltages.

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of the present application more clear and definite, the present application is illustrated in detail below by referring to the accompanying drawings and illustrating the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific implementations described here are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
Specifically,
Specifically, referring to
The plurality of data lines DL are arranged in a first direction x and extended in a second direction y, and the plurality of data lines DL transmit a plurality of data voltages Vpixel. The first direction x intersects the second direction y.
The plurality of scanning lines SL are arranged in the second direction y and extended in the first direction x, and the plurality of data lines SL transmit a plurality of scanning signals.
The plurality of common lines CL transmit common voltages Vcom. Optionally, the plurality of common lines CL includes a plurality of first common lines CL1 and a plurality of second common lines CL2, where the plurality of first common lines CL1 are disposed parallel with and spaced apart from the scanning line SL, and the plurality of second common lines CL2 are disposed in parallel with and spaced apart from the data lines DL.
The plurality of pixel units are defined by intersecting the plurality of data lines DL with the plurality of scanning lines DL.
The pixel unit includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a pixel electrode PE, a common electrode CE, a liquid crystal capacitor Clc, a storage capacitor Cst, and a liquid crystal layer.
Optionally, a source and a drain of the first transistor T1 are electrically connected between the pixel electrode PE and the corresponding data line of the data lines, a source and a drain of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected between the common electrode CE and the corresponding common line of the common lines CL, a gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL, and the gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL. Optionally, the source and drain of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected between the common electrode CE and the corresponding first common line of the first common lines CL1. Optionally, the first common line CL1 is adjacent to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the second common line CL2 is adjacent to the second transistor T2.
The liquid crystal capacitor Clc is constituted by the pixel electrode PE, the common electrode CE, and the liquid crystal layer.
The storage capacitor Cst is connected in parallel with the liquid crystal capacitor Clc. Specifically, the storage capacitor Cst is connected in series between one of the source and the drain of the first transistor T1 electrically connected to the pixel electrode PE and one of the source and the drain of the second transistor T2 electrically connected to the common electrode CE. Optionally, both electrodes of the storage capacitor Cst are constituted by the second common line CL2 and the pixel electrode PE, respectively.
The pixel electrode PE generates a first feed-through voltage VFT1 when the first transistor T1 is changed from an on state to an off state in response to a scanning signal transmitted by a corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL, and the common electrode CE generates a second feed-through voltage VFT2 when the second transistor T2 is changed from the on state to the off state in response to a scanning signal transmitted by a corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL. However, since parasitic capacitances are generated between any two of the pixel electrode PE, the data line DL, the common line CL, the scanning lines SL, and the common electrode CE (for example, a parasitic capacitance CPD is generated between the pixel electrode PE and the data line DL adjacent to the pixel electrode PE, and a parasitic capacitance CPG is generated between the pixel electrode PE and the scanning line SL adjacent to the pixel electrode PE, or the like), the first feed-through voltage VFT1 is not exactly equal to the second feed-through voltage VFT2 under the influence of the parasitic capacitances generated between any two of the pixel electrode PE, the data line DL, the common line CL, the scanning lines SL, and the common electrode CE, which causes problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture.
In addition, even if the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 have the same type (for example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both P-type transistors or both N-type transistors, and both the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both silicon transistors or both oxide transistors), the parasitic capacitance between the scanning line SL electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T1 and the pixel electrode PE is not equal to the parasitic capacitance between the scanning line SL electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor T2 and the common electrode CE due to the influence of the process factor. Therefore, when the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are changed from the on state to the off state in response to the scanning signal transmitted by the respective scanning line SL, the first feed-through voltage VFT1 is not exactly equal to the second feed-through voltage VFT2, which also causes problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture.
In order to solve the problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture due to the first and second feed-through voltages VFT1 and VFT2 being not exactly equal to each other (i.e., the feed-through voltages are uneven), the display panel control method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes:
Specifically, since each of the pixel units correspondingly has the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2, the plurality of pixel units correspondingly have a plurality of first feed-through voltage VFT1 and a plurality of second feed-through voltage VFT2, and each of the pixel units compensates for a display voltage Vd corresponding to the pixel unit based on a difference between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2 corresponding to the pixel unit.
Optionally, at least one of the pixel units compensates for the display voltage Vd corresponding to the pixel unit based on a difference between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2, or a ratio therebetween, or a product therebetween, or a sum therebetween.
Since the display voltage Vd is equal to the difference between the data voltage Vpixel and the common voltage Vcom, the step of compensating for a display voltage Vd corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units based on a difference between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2 of the pixel unit includes:
Optionally, the plurality of first difference X between each of the first feed-through voltages VFT1 and corresponding one of the second feed-through voltages VFT2 of the plurality of pixel units are stored by a storage module to enable the driving module to generate the common voltage Vcom and/or the plurality of data voltages Vpixel based on the plurality of first differences X to compensate for the display voltage Vd corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units when the driving module drives the display panel to perform a display operation. The driving module is electrically connected to the plurality of data lines DL and the plurality of common lines CL.
Optionally, before the step of compensating for the data voltage Vpixel transmitted by the data line DL and/or the common voltage Vcom transmitted by the common line CL corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units based on a plurality of first differences X between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2 of each of the plurality of pixel units, the control method further includes:
The first feed-through voltage VFT1, the second feed-through voltage VFT2, and the first difference value X corresponding to each of the pixel units can be calculated according to the following formulas:
VFT1=CGD1/(Clc+Cst+CGD1+Csu)*ΔVG1;
VFT2=CGD2/(Clc+Cst+CGD2+Csu)*ΔVG2; and
X=VFT1−VFT2.
Optionally, the acquired first feed-through voltages VFT1 and the acquired second feed-through voltages VFT2 corresponding to the plurality of pixel units can be stored into the storage module.
Optionally, the driving module includes a control chip that can calculate a plurality of first difference X from the plurality of first feed-through voltages VFT1 and the plurality of second feed-through voltages VFT2, and compensate for the data voltages Vpixel or the common voltage Vcom from the plurality of first difference X.
Optionally, the acquired first feed-through voltages VFT1 and the acquired second feed-through voltages VFT2 corresponding to the plurality of pixel units can also be directly transmitted to the control chip, and after the control chip calculates the plurality of first difference values X therefrom, the plurality of first difference value X are stored into the storage module.
Since a size, a shape, a relative position, and the like of the plurality of first transistors T1, the plurality of second transistors T2, the plurality of data lines DL, the plurality of scanning lines SL, and the plurality of common lines CL have been determined after the display panel has been prepared, the plurality of parasitic capacitances generated between any two of the pixel electrode PE, the data line DL, the common line CL, the scanning line SL, and the common electrode CE are determined. Therefore, the plurality of first difference value X may be statically stored in the storage module without performing a plurality of storage operations while a display frequency of the display panel being changed.
Optionally, the driving module includes a timing controller, where the timing controller includes the control chip and the storage module.
Optionally, the driving module further includes a power management chip electrically connected to the timing controller, where the timing controller compensates for an output signal of the power management chip based on the first difference X to compensate for the display voltage Vd corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units.
First, compensation for the data voltage Vpixel is taken for an example. The driving module further includes a source driving chip electrically connected to both the power management chip and the plurality of data lines DL, where the source driving chip outputs the plurality of data voltages Vpixel to the plurality of data lines DL based on the output signal of the power management chip, so that each of the data voltages Vpixel includes information of the first difference X corresponding to the pixel unit (i.e., Vpixel=Vp0+X; where Vp0 represents a data voltage obtained by the source driving chip from an output signal of the power management chip before the first difference value X is not compensated for). Since the second transistor T2 is changed from the on state to the off state, the voltage change amount generated on the pixel electrode PE is equal to the first difference X under the influence of a capacitive coupling effect. As a result, the data voltage Vpixel is changed from Vpixel=Vp0+X to Vpixel=Vp0+X−X=Vp0, so that the data voltage Vpixel is compensated for, and thus the display voltage Vd is also compensated for.
Since the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer is large and the liquid crystal capacitance Clc is increased when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a high gray scale level, the first difference value X may be reduced when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a high gray scale level. Since the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer is small and the liquid crystal capacitance Clc is reduced when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a low gray scale level, the first difference value X can be increased when the grays scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a low gray scale level. That is, the gray scale level corresponding to the display voltage Vd before compensation is inversely proportional to the first difference X.
Each of the pixel units has a plurality of first difference when being corresponding to a plurality of gray scale levels, and the number of the first difference that each of the pixel units can have when being corresponding to a plurality of gray scale levels is less than or equal to the number of gray scale levels of the display panel. That is, the number of the first difference values corresponding to each of the pixel units having different values is less than or equal to the number of gray scale levels of the display panel. It is assumed that the number of the gray scale levels of the display panel is 256, the number of the first difference values corresponding to each of the pixel units having different values is less than or equal to 256. Specifically, each of the pixel units has a different first difference X when being corresponding to a different gray scale level, or each of the pixel units has a same first difference X when being corresponding to a different gray scale level (for example, the gray scale levels can be grouped according to actual requirements (for example, every 8 or 16 gray scale levels are grouped into a group), and each group of gray scale levels corresponds to one of the first differences X).
If each of the pixel units has different first difference values X when being corresponding to different gray scale levels, since the gray scale levels and the first difference values X of the pixel unit are in a one-to-one correspondence relationship, the display effect of each of the pixel units can be more accurately improved.
Compensation for the common voltage Vcom is taken for an example. The plurality of common lines CL are electrically connected to the power management chip, and the power management chip outputs the common voltages Vcom to the plurality of common lines CL so that each of the common voltages Vcom includes information of the first difference X corresponding to the pixel unit (i.e., where Vcom=Vc0+X; Vc0 represents a common voltage output by the power management chip to the common line CL before the first difference X is compensated for). Since the second transistor T2 is changed from the on state to the off state, the voltage change amount generated on the pixel electrode PE is equal to the first difference X under the influence of the capacitive coupling effect. As a result, the data voltage is Vpixel=Vp0+X, so that the display voltage is Vd=Vpixel−Vcom=Vp0+X−Vc0−X, and thus the display voltage Vd is compensated for.
Alternatively, the plurality of common voltages Vcom transmitted by the plurality of common lines CL are all the same. Further, since each of the pixel units has a different first difference X when being corresponding to a different gray scale level, the common voltage Vcom may be determined according to a maximum value and a minimum value among the plurality of first difference values X so that the same common voltage Vcom transmitted by the plurality of common lines CL can compensate for the display voltage Vd when the plurality of pixel units have a plurality of first difference values X. Specifically, the plurality of pixel units have the plurality of first differences X when being corresponding to the plurality of gray scale levels, where the plurality of first differences X have a first maximum difference Xmax and a first minimum difference Xmin, and the common voltage Vcom is equal to an average value of the first maximum difference Xmax and the first minimum difference Xmin, that is, Vcom=(Xmax+Xmin)/2.
Since the common voltage Vcom is equal to the average value of the first maximum difference Xmax and the first minimum difference Xmin when the plurality of common voltages Vcom transmitted by the plurality of common lines CL are all the same, compensation for the common voltage Vcom can only achieve compensation for the display voltage Vd to some extent. For this, it is also possible to compensate for the data voltage Vpixel on the basis of compensation for the common voltage Vcom in order to fully compensate for the display voltage Vd. For example, after the common voltage Vcom is individually compensated for, the first difference value X of each of a plurality of pixel units is calculated again, and the data voltage Vpixel is compensated for according to a plurality of first difference values X calculated again, thereby achieving full compensation for the display voltage Vd. The principle of compensating for the data voltage Vpixel can be obtained on the basis of compensating for the common voltage Vcom with reference to the foregoing principle of compensating for the common voltage Vcom and the data voltage Vpixel.
Optionally, the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected to the same scanning line SL; or the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected to the different scanning lines SL.
Optionally, the pixel unit further includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. Specifically,
When the scanning signal transmitted by the scanning line SL electrically connected to the gates of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is active, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, so that the data line DL transmits the data voltage Vpixel to the pixel electrode PE via the first transistor T1, and the first common line CL1 transmits the common voltage Vcom to the common electrode CE via the second transistor T2.
The plurality of data lines DL are arranged in a first direction x and extended in a second direction y, and the plurality of data lines DL transmit a plurality of data voltages Vpixel. The first direction X is configured to intersect the second direction Y.
The plurality of scanning lines SL are arranged in the second direction y and extended in the first direction x, and the plurality of data lines SL transmit a plurality of scanning signals.
The plurality of common lines CL transmit a common voltage Vcom. Optionally, the plurality of common lines CL includes a plurality of first common lines CL1 and a plurality of second common lines CL2, where the plurality of first common lines CL1 are disposed parallel with and spaced apart from the scanning line SL, and the plurality of second common lines CL2 are disposed in parallel with and spaced apart from the data lines DL.
The plurality of pixel units are defined by intersecting the plurality of data lines DL with the plurality of scanning lines DL. Optionally, the scanning line SL and the first common line CL1 are disposed on opposite sides of the pixel unit, and the data line DL and the second common line CL2 are disposed on opposite sides of the pixel unit.
Each of the pixel units includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a pixel electrode PE, a common electrode CE, a liquid crystal capacitor, a storage capacitor, and a liquid crystal layer. A source and a drain of the first transistor T1 are electrically connected between the pixel electrode PE and the data line DL, a source and a drain of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected between the common electrode CE and the common line CL. A gate of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL, and the gate of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL. Optionally, the source and drain of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected between the common electrode CE and the corresponding first common line of the first common lines CL1. Optionally, the first common line CL1 is adjacent to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the second common line CL2 is adjacent to the second transistor T2. Alternatively, the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are electrically connected to the same scanning line SL.
The liquid crystal capacitor is constituted by the pixel electrode PE, the common electrode CE, and the liquid crystal layer. The storage capacitor is connected in parallel with the liquid crystal capacitor. Alternatively, the storage capacitor is connected in series between one of the source and the drain of the first transistor T1 electrically connected to the pixel electrode PE and one of the source and the drain of the second transistor T2 electrically connected to the common electrode CE. Optionally, both electrodes of the storage capacitor are constituted by the second common line CL2 and the pixel electrode PE, respectively.
The pixel electrode PE generates a first feed-through voltage VFT1 when the first transistor T1 is changed from an on state to an off state in response to a scanning signal transmitted by a corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL, and the common electrode CE generates a second feed-through voltage VFT2 when the second transistor T2 is changed from the on state to the off state in response to a scanning signal transmitted by a corresponding scanning line of the scanning lines SL. However, since parasitic capacitances are generated between any two of the pixel electrode PE, the data line DL, the common line CL, the scanning lines SL, and the common electrode CE, the first feed-through voltage VFT1 is not exactly equal to the second feed-through voltage VFT2 under the influence of the parasitic capacitances, which causes problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture. In addition, even if the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 have the same type, the parasitic capacitance between the scanning line SL electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor T1 and the pixel electrode PE is not equal to the parasitic capacitance between the scanning line SL electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor T2 and the common electrode CE due to the influence of the process factor. Therefore, when the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are changed from the on state to the off state in response to the scanning signal transmitted by the respective scanning line SL, the first feed-through voltage VFT1 is not exactly equal to the second feed-through voltage VFT2, which also causes problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture.
In order to solve the problems such as the flicker or the image sticking in the display picture due to the first and second feed-through voltages VFT1 and VFT2 being not exactly equal (i.e., the feed-through voltages are uneven), the driving module 600 compensates for a display voltage Vd corresponding to respective pixel unit of the plurality of pixel units based on a difference between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2 of the pixel unit.
Optionally, a first difference exists between the first feed-through voltage VFT1 and the second feed-through voltage VFT2 of each of the pixel units, and the driving module 600 compensates for a display voltage Vd corresponding to respective pixel unit of the plurality of pixel units based on the first difference X of the pixel unit.
Optionally, the driving module 600 further includes a timing controller and a power management chip electrically connected to the timing controller, where the timing controller compensates for an output signal of the power management chip based on the first difference X to compensate for the display voltage Vd corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units.
Since the display voltage Vd is equal to the difference between the data voltage Vpixel and the common voltage Vcom, the driving module 600 further includes the source driving chip electrically connected to both the power management chip and the plurality of data lines DL, and the source driving chip outputs the plurality of data voltages Vpixel to the plurality of data lines DL based on the output signal of the power management chip, so as to realize compensation for the display voltage Vd; or the plurality of common lines CL are electrically connected to the power management chip, and the power management chip outputs the common voltage Vcom to the plurality of common lines CL, to compensate for the display voltage Vd corresponding to each of the plurality of pixel units.
In compensating for the plurality of data voltages Vpixel to achieve compensation for the display voltage Vd, since the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer is large and the liquid crystal capacitance Clc is increased when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a high gray scale level, the first difference value X may be reduced when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a high gray scale level. Since the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer is small and the liquid crystal capacitance C1c is reduced when the gray scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a low gray scale level, the first difference value X can be increased when the grays scale level of the display voltage Vd before compensation is a low gray scale level. That is, the gray scale level corresponding to the display voltage Vd before compensation is inversely proportional to the first difference X. Each of the pixel units has a plurality of first differences when being corresponding to a plurality of gray scale levels, and the number of the first differences that each of the pixel units can have when being corresponding to a plurality of gray scale levels is less than or equal to the number of gray scale levels of the display panel 500.
In compensating for the common voltage Vcom to achieve compensation for the display voltage Vd corresponding to the plurality of pixel units, the plurality of pixel units have the plurality of first differences X when being corresponding to the plurality of gray scale levels, where the plurality of first differences X have a first maximum difference Xmax and a first minimum difference Xmin, and the common voltage Vcom is equal to an average value of the first maximum difference Xmax and the first minimum difference Xmin, that is, Vcom=(Xmax+Xmin)/2.
Optionally, Since the common voltage Vcom is equal to the average value of the first maximum difference Xmax and the first minimum difference Xmin, compensation for the common voltage Vcom can only achieve compensation for the display voltage Vd to some extent. For this, it is also possible to compensate for the data voltage Vpixel on the basis of compensation for the common voltage Vcom in order to fully compensate for the display voltage Vd. For example, after the common voltage Vcom is individually compensated for, the first difference value X of each of a plurality of pixel units is calculated again, and the data voltage Vpixel is compensated for according to a plurality of first difference values X calculated again, thereby achieving full compensation for the display voltage Vd.
Optionally, the pixel unit further includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first capacitor is connected in series between one of the source or the drain of the first transistor T1 electrically connected to the pixel electrode PE and a first voltage terminal, and the second capacitor is connected in series between one of the source and the drain of the second transistor T2 electrically connected to the common electrode CE and the first voltage terminal. Optionally, the first voltage terminal is a ground terminal.
An embodiment of the present application further provides a display device including the display module according to any one of the foregoing embodiments.
As can be understood, the display device includes a movable display device (e.g., a notebook computer, a mobile phone, etc.), a fixed terminal (e.g., a desktop computer, a television, etc.), a measuring device (e.g., a sport bracelet, a thermometer, etc.), or the like.
