Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

In a normal Virtual Reality (VR) display system, discomfort may arise if movement of the human's head and rotation of eyeballs do not match with an image entering human eyes. Thus, fast follow-up and response time are very important for VR display.


In e.g. a VR display environment, a nine-axis sensor and infrared eye-tracking camera is generally used to collect a scenes focused by the human eyes. When a point focused by the eyeballs changes, a display panel may only scan a small portion of the scene. In conventional solutions, when the displayed scene changes, a Central Processing Unit (CPU) notifies a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of rendering a new image, but display information of a new scene cannot be sent until the display panel has finished scanning the previous frame of screen, which causes that the response time becomes slower, or even has nearly one frame of time wasted, affecting objective experience; otherwise, there will be a tearing effect.


Therefore, how to reduce the response time upon change of the scene is an urgent problem to be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to at least partially solve or reduce the problem of a long response time upon change of the scene in the related art, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of driving a display panel, a driving circuit, a display panel, and a display device.


Hereinafter, detailed description of a method of driving a display panel, a driving circuit, a display panel, and a display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Sizes and shapes of respective parts in the drawings are not drawn in actual scales, but are only intended to schematically illustrate the present disclosure.


An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of driving a display panel. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:


S101 of, when a scene change is detected, determining whether a time when the scene change occurs is in a process of scanning a frame of display screen of a first scene; and


S102 of if so, controlling a gate driving circuit to re-scan respective gate lines on the display panel sequentially, and controlling a source driving circuit to input a display signal of a new scene (also referred to as a second scene) to respective pixels connected to the respective gate lines.


In the driving method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the scene change occurs, the respective gate lines on the display panel are re-scanned sequentially, and the display signal of the new scene is input to the respective pixels connected to the respective gate lines. As such, it is not necessary to scan the new scene after one frame of the old scene has been scanned completely, thereby reducing the response time, and improving the user experience. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the term “scene” may refer to, e.g., a single still image displayed on the display panel or a moving image (e.g., video) composed of a series of related or similar images. In some embodiments, the change of the scene may refer to, e.g., changing a single still image to another single still image. In some other embodiments, the change of the scene may refer to, e.g., switching from a dynamic image composed of a series of related or similar images to another one dynamic image composed of another series of images whose correlation or similarity with the series of images exceeds a preset threshold. In some embodiments, a minimum interval for the re-scanning may be forcibly specified, in order to prevent a visual error resulting from the image being not refreshed completely due to too fast change of the scene. For example, in a case where consecutive multiple frames of images or scenes change so that each frame needs to be re-scanned, it may be specified that the re-scanning according to the above-described embodiment of the present disclosure may be performed every (N+1) frames, where N is an integer no smaller than 1. In some embodiments, N may be, e.g., 30 frames, 60 frames, 120 frames, or 144 frames, and the like. In this case, although the re-scanning is not performed immediately every time the scene change occurs, it is still possible to obtain a better response time compared to that in a case of no re-scanning.


In addition, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In fact, the scene may be considered to change (regardless of actual difference between the old scene and the new scene), as long as it is deemed necessary to switch the scene. As a most extreme example, even if the images of the old scene and the new scene are the same, it is still possible to artificially switch the scenes and implement a scheme according to an embodiment of the present disclosure as described below.


Therefore, in some embodiments, the detection of the change of the scene may be implemented, e.g., by detecting presence of a data signal for the new scene, or, e.g., by detecting an instruction issued by a processor or a controller that provides the data signal for the new scene. In other embodiments, the detection of the change of the scene may also be implemented, e.g., by detecting a motion vector of a particular object in the scene. For example, when the motion vector of the particular object satisfies some predetermined criterion (e.g., a motion distance being larger than a predetermined threshold), it may be determined that the scene change occurs.



FIGS. 2A and 2B are scanning flowcharts in the related art and in an embodiment of the present disclosure respectively. The scanning process M in FIG. 2A is a scanning process in the related art, and the scanning process N in FIG. 2B is a scanning process in a technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIGS. 2A and 2B, A represents a scanning time period of an old scene, B represents a scanning time period of a new scene, S represents a time period during which the backlight is on after the scanning of one frame of display image has been finished, Y represents a time when the scene change occurs, Off represents a time period during which the backlight is off, and On represents a time period during which the backlight is on. Referring to the scanning process M, the time when the scene change occurs is in a process of scanning a frame of display screen, the scanning of the new scene (or, the second scene) is not performed until the scanning of the frame of display screen of the old scene (or, the first scene) is finished (i.e., the second time period A in FIG. 2A) and the backlight is turned on to present the screen of the old scene to the human eyes; and after the scanning of a frame of display screen of the new scene is finished, the backlight is turned on, so that the human eyes can view the screen of the new scene. Referring to the scanning process N, the time when the scene change occurs is in a process of scanning a frame of display screen, the scanning of a display screen of the new scene is started from the time when the scene change occurs (i.e., the time period B in FIG. 2B), and the backlight is turned on after the scanning of a frame of display screen of the new scene is finished, and the screen of the new scene is viewed by the human eyes. Comparing the scanning process M and the scanning process N, it can be clearly seen that the driving method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may save a time for nearly a half of the frame. The scanning process N not only saves the time, but also can avoid invalid display information (i.e., the screen of the old scene after the scene change occurs) to be presented to the human eyes, and can prevent a dizziness effect.


Further, in the method of driving the display panel provided by the embodiment as shown in FIG. 1 described previously, the method may further include:


S103 of if it is determined that the time when the scene change occurs is not in the process of scanning the frame of display screen of the first scene, controlling, at a next frame after the time, the source driving circuit to input the display signal of the new scene (or, the second scene) to the respective pixels connected to the respective gate lines.


In the above step S101, it is firstly determined whether the time when the scene change occurs is in the process of scanning one frame of display screen, that is, whether the time when the scene change occurs is within the time period A (with reference to FIG. 2); if so, step S102 is performed; if not, step S103 is performed, that is, at the next frame after the time, the source driving circuit is controlled to input the display signal of the new scene to the respective pixels connected to the respective gate lines. For example, if the time when the scene change occurs is within the time period B during which the backlight is on, the display signal of the new scene is input upon scanning of the next frame, and the human eyes can view the screen of the new scene when the backlight is turned on again. If the time when the scene change occurs is at a boundary between the time period A and the time period S, a first case is the time being located at a position where the time period A starts, in which case, if the scanning of the old scene has already been started (i.e., within the time period A), step S102 is performed; and if the scanning of the old scene has not been started yet, the display signal of the new scene is directly input so that the screen of the new scene is displayed when the backlight is turned on. A second case is the time being located at a position where the time period A ends, in which case, when a next frame is being scanned, the display signal of the new scene is input so that the screen of the new scene is displayed when the backlight is turned on.



FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of scanning in the related art when a scene change occurs. As seen from FIG. 3, when the scene change occurs, e.g., the scene change occurs upon scanning to a position indicated by an arrow Y in FIG. 3, the gate driving circuit may keep scanning (as shown by an arrow C in FIG. 3); after a full-screen scanning of the display panel 100 has been finished, the backlight is turned on to present the screen of the old scene to the human eyes; then the backlight is turned off, and a Start Vertical (STV) signal is input to the gate driving circuit, controlling the gate driving circuit to reset and restart scanning of the gate lines on the display panel 100; and a display signal of a new scene is input to the source driving circuit, referring to an arrow R in FIG. 3. Since the scene has changed, the display signal of the old scene has been invalidated, and does not need to be presented to the human eyes to display an invalid image, which not only wastes time but also reduces a response speed, and may also cause the viewer to have dizziness.


In the method of driving the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, there are at least two implementations as follows.


Specifically, in some embodiments, in the method of driving the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, controlling the gate driving circuit to re-scan the respective gate lines on the display panel sequentially includes:


inputting a frame start signal (a STV signal) to the gate driving circuit.


By inputting the STV signal to the gate driving circuit, the gate driving circuit is triggered to start scanning of a new frame, so as to sequentially open the respective gate lines on the display panel. It should be noted that an order of scanning by the gate driving circuit may be scanning from the first line to the last line, or scanning from the last line to the first line. Of course, the scanning may also start from some line in the middle. The order of scanning is limited herein.


As shown in FIG. 4, when the scene change occurs (e.g., an arrow Y in FIG. 4), the CPU notifies the GPU of rendering an image of a new scene, and the GPU controls a driver chip to send an STV signal to the gate driving circuit, so as to control the gate driving circuit to re-scan (referring to an arrow R in FIG. 4). The GPU needs a relatively short time to render a new image, typically in 2 ms. The gate driving circuit is preferably a Gate Driver on Array (GOA) circuit. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the GOA circuit is used as an example of the gate driving circuit for illustration. The GOA circuit generally includes a plurality of GOA units. With reference to FIG. 4, in an actual scanning process, a part of GOA units may be arranged on the left side of the display panel 100, and another part of GOA units may be arranged on the right side of the display panel 100, resulting in alternating scanning lines as shown in FIG. 4.


As shown in FIG. 4, dark scanning lines in FIG. 4 are scanning lines before the scene change occurs, and light scanning lines are scanning lines after the scene change occurs. The scanning lines are numbered in FIG. 4 for clearer illustration. After receiving the STV signal, the gate driving circuit re-scans the gate lines on the display panel 100, but the scanning of the previous frame of old scene does not stop (referring to an arrow C in FIG. 4). As such, the gate driving circuit scans two rows of gate lines simultaneously. For example, the scanning proceeds to the 10th row before the scene change occurs; and after the scene change occurs, the gate driving circuit scans the 1st row and the 11th row simultaneously, the 2nd row and the 12th row simultaneously, and so on. The gate driving circuit may not scan one row at a time until the scanning of the old scene is finished.


While the gate driving circuit scans, the source driving circuit is controlled to input the display signal of the new scene to the respective pixels connected to the respective gate lines, i.e., inputs the display signal of the new scene to respective data lines connected to the pixels, which is a process of charging the pixels. Generally, a data line is connected to sources of a column of pixels, and a gate line is connected to gates of a row of pixels. After the respective gates are open, thin film transistors are turned on, and the display signal of the image may be input to the sources of the pixels through the data lines, and are output to pixel electrodes through drains. As such, a voltage corresponding to the display signal may be applied across the pixel electrodes. Since a constant voltage is generally applied to a common electrode, a stable electric field is formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, thereby driving liquid crystal to make a certain deflection.


Based on the above analysis, since the gate driving circuit scans two rows of gate lines simultaneously, the source driving circuit may input the display signal of the new scene to the two rows simultaneously, i.e., charging two rows of pixels simultaneously, which may affect display of the image of the new scene. For example, since there is no discharging process before the re-scanning, it may result in excessive charging, and it may also result in insufficient charging due to charging two rows simultaneously. In order to prevent the image of the new scene from being affected, the display signal input by the source driver circuit needs to be compensated, which specifically includes:


controlling source driving circuit to input the corrected display signal of the new scene to the data lines connected to the respective pixels.


By inputting the corrected display signal of the new scene to the data lines connected to the pixels, the display signal input in the re-scanned rows of pixels is a signal required to display the new scene, so as to ensure a normal display of the image of the new scene. For example, the source driving circuit inputs the corrected display signal of the new scene to the 1st and the 11th rows simultaneously, and the display signal is a display signal required for the normal display of the 1st row of pixels.


In a particular implementation, in the scanning process of the gate driving circuit, the backlight of the display panel 100 is turned off, and the backlight is not turned on until the scanning of one frame of display screen is finished. After the gate driving circuit re-scans, wrong display information presented may be overwritten until the scanning of the last line is finished, and the human eyes view a pattern of the new scene after the backlight is turned on. Thus, the wrong information appearing during the scanning may not presented to the human eyes.


Also referring to FIG. 4, since the scene change occurs, the image displayed by the scanning of the old scene before the scene change occurs may be regarded as the wrong display information. After the scene change occurs, the image displayed by the scanning of the old scene which is not stopped is also the wrong display information. Although the input display signal is a display signal of the new scene, the display position and the size of the display signal are not correct, e.g., the display signal of the 11th row being the same as the display signal of the 1st row, and at this time, the image displayed on the 11th row being the image that should be displayed on the 1st row, thus it is also the wrong display information. After the gate driving circuit re-scans, the wrong display information may be continuously overwritten until the scanning of this frame is finished.


Additionally, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, in the method of driving the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure as described above, controlling the gate driving circuit to re-scan the respective gate lines on the display panel sequentially includes:


inputting a reset signal to the gate driving circuit; and


inputting a frame start signal is input to the gate driving circuit after the gate drive circuit stops scanning.


As shown in FIG. 5, when the scene change occurs, e.g., at an arrow Y in FIG. 5, the reset signal is input to the gate driving circuit to control the gate driving circuit to stop scanning and reset (as shown in an arrow R in FIG. 5), then the STV signal is input to control the gate driving circuit to re-scan. This avoids the simultaneous scanning of two rows of gate lines that occurs in the embodiments as previously described. In a particular implementation, the GOA circuit may be reset by enabling Abnormal Power Off (APO) of the GOA circuit, and an APO timing sequence needs to be inserted in the timing of the GOA.


More specifically, in the above APO method of GOA, all of the gates on the display panel 100 may be turned on, and all of the data lines may be grounded, so that the respective pixels on the display panel 100 may be discharged, which avoids influence of the remaining power in the pixels on the next frame of display signal.


Further, the above method of driving the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure as described regardless of any implementations as previously discussed may further include:


controlling the backlight of the display panel to be turned on, after the gate driving circuit finishes scanning one frame of display screen of the new scene.


In order to prevent the wrong display information appearing in the scanning process of the gate driving circuit from being presented to the human eyes, the backlight is off during the scanning process of the gate driving circuit; and the backlight of the display panel is controlled to be turned on, after the scanning of one frame of display screen of the new scene is finished, so as to present a complete image after completion of the scanning to the human eyes.


Based on the same disclosed concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a driving circuit of a display panel. Since the principle of the driving circuit to solve the problem is similar with that of the driving method as described above, the implementation of the driving circuit may refer to the implementation of the driving method as described above, and thus repeated description will be omitted here.

if it is determined that the time when the scene change occurs is not in the process of scanning the frame of display screen, control, at a next frame after the time, the source driver 203 to input the display signal of the new scene to the respective pixels connected to the respective gate line.
