The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly, to a display panel.

In the present disclosure, as opposed to conventional technologies, because the voltage levels of the first control signal and the second control signal transmitted by the first control line and the second control line respectively are opposite to each other, and a number of control line groups that intersect the signal transmission line is greater than or equal to zero, a first derived pulse signal, which is resulted in the signal transmission line and which corresponds to the first control signal, is offset by a second derived pulse signal corresponding to the second control signal. Thus, pictures displayed by display panels can be prevented from being affected by derived pulse signals generated from intersections of signal transmission lines and a control line group used to control de-multiplexing switches.

Referring to
A display panel in the present embodiment can be a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel, and so on.
The display panel in the present embodiment includes a pixel array 101, a data driving circuit 102, a scan driving circuit, and a de-multiplexing circuit.
The pixel array 101 includes at least one pixel column 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, and 1016.
The data driving circuit 102 includes at least one data line 1021 and 1022. The data lines 1021 and 1022 are used to transmit data signals for de-multiplexing.
The scan driving circuit is connected to the pixel array 101.
The de-multiplexing circuit is connected to the pixel array 101 and to the data lines 1021 and 1022. The de-multiplexing circuit includes a de-multiplexing switch group 103, signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106, and control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3.
The de-multiplexing switch group 103 is connected to the data lines 1021 and 1022.
Two ends of each of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 are connected to the de-multiplexing switch group 103 and the pixel columns 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, and 1016, respectively. The signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 are used to transmit the de-multiplexed data signals.
One of the data lines 1021 and 1022 is connected to two or three de-multiplexing switch groups 103. Two or three de-multiplexing switch groups 103 are connected to two or three of the pixel columns 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, and 1016 respectively through two or three of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
The control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 are connected to the de-multiplexing switch group 103. The control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 include first control lines CK1, CK2, and CK3 and second control lines XCK1, XCK2, and XCK3. Voltage levels of a first control signal and a second control signal transmitted by the first control lines CK1, CK2, and CK3 and the second control lines XCK1, XCK2, and XCK3 respectively are opposite to each other. A number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is greater than or equal to zero.
Specifically, in the present embodiment and at the same time, the second control signal is at a low voltage level when the first control signal is at a high voltage level, and the second control signal is at the high voltage level when the first control signal is at the low voltage level.
The control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 are disposed at a side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101, and/or at a side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, away from the pixel array 101.
In response that the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is greater than zero, the intersection of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 is located at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101.
The number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 is two or three.
As shown in
That is, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is one, and the intersection of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the control line group CK1 and XCK1 is located at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101.
The first control line CK1 and the second control line XCK1 are located at the same side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, and the first control line CK1 is adjacent to the second control line XCK1.
The first control signal and the second control signal, with opposite voltage levels, are used to balance (i.e., offset) a correlation between data signals, transmitted by the data lines 1021 and 1022, due to the intersection of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3.
Specifically, because the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 intersect the first control line CK1 and the second control line XCK1, a first capacitor is formed between the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the first control line CK1, and a second capacitor is formed between the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the second control line XCK1.
While the first control signal transmitted by the first control line CK1 changes, electrical charges on a pole plate (i.e., the first control line CK1) of the first capacitor change, and electrical charges on the other pole plate (i.e., the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106) of the first capacitor also change. Thus, a derived pulse signal (i.e., a first derived pulse signal) is formed in the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
For the same reason, while the second control signal transmitted by the second control line XCK1 changes, electrical charges on a pole plate (i.e., the second control line XCK1) of the second capacitor change, and electrical charges on the other pole plate (i.e., the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106) of the second capacitor also change. Thus, a derived pulse signal (i.e., a second derived pulse signal) is formed in the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
Because the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 are used to transmit the de-multiplexed data signals, the first derived pulse signal, the second derived pulse signal, and the data signals are superposed (i.e., multiplexed) and inputted to the pixel columns 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, and 1016. At this moment, the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal affect pictures displayed by the display panel.
In the present embodiment, because the voltage levels of the first control signal and the second control signal transmitted by the first control line CK1 and the second control line XCK1 respectively are opposite to each other, voltage levels of the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal are opposite to each other. In response that a first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and a second de-multiplexing switch 1032 are both turned on, the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal, which are superposed on the data signals, offset each other. That is, correlations between the first control signal and the data signals and between the second control signal and the data signals offset each other, preventing the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal from affecting the pictures displayed by the display panel. In response that the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 are both turned off, the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal also offset each other, and thus the pictures displayed by the display panel are also not affected.
In the present embodiment, the de-multiplexing switch group 103 includes the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and the second de-multiplexing switch 1032.
A first control end of the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 is connected to the first control lines CK1, CK2, and CK3. A second control end of the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 is connected to the second control lines XCK1, XCK2, and XCK3.
A first input end of the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and a second input end of the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 are both connected to the data lines 1021 and 1022.
A first output end of the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and a second output end of the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 are both connected to an end of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
The first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 are configured to turn on or turn off at the same time in response that the voltage levels of the first control signal and the second control signal are opposite to each other. That is, the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 and the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 simultaneously output the data signals to two of the connected signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 respectively or not.
Specifically, the first control end of the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 is directly connected to the first control lines CK1, CK2, and CK3. The second control end of the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 is connected to the second control lines XCK1, XCK2, and XCK3 through a not-gate.
The first de-multiplexing switch 1031 is turned on when the first control signal is at the high voltage level, and the first de-multiplexing switch 1031 is turned off when the first control signal is at the low voltage level.
The second de-multiplexing switch 1032 is turned off when the second control signal is at the high voltage level, and the second de-multiplexing switch 1032 is turned on when the second control signal is at the low voltage level.
One of two control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 has a high voltage level waveform and a low voltage level waveform delayed for a predetermined time relative to the other one of the two control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3.
As shown in
Referring to
In the present embodiment, two control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 are disposed at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101, and a control line group CK3 and XCK3 is disposed at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, away from the pixel array 101.
That is, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is two, and the intersection of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106, two of the first control lines CK1, CK2, and CK3, and two of the second control lines XCK1, XCK2, and XCK3 is located at the side 107 of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101.
At a first time, the first derived pulse signal and the second derived pulse signal, which are generated from intersections of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the first group of control line groups, i.e., CK1 and XCK1, offset each other. At a second time after the predetermined time, another first derived pulse signal and another second derived pulse signal, which are generated from intersections of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the second group of control line groups, i.e., CK2 and XCK2, offset each other.
Referring to
In the present embodiment, a number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 disposed at the side 107 of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101, is zero, and three control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 are all disposed at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, away from the pixel array 101.
That is, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, CK2 and XCK2, and CK3 and XCK3 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is zero, and the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 do not intersect any control line.
At this moment, there is no derived pulse signal in the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
Referring to
In the present embodiment, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 is two. A control line group CK1 and XCK1 is disposed at the side 107 of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101, and a control line group CK2 and XCK2 is disposed at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, away from the pixel array 101.
That is, the number of control line group CK1 and XCK1 that intersects the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is one, and the intersection of the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 and the control line group CK1 and XCK1 is located at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101.
As shown in
Referring to
In the present embodiment, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 disposed at the side 107 of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, near the pixel array 101, is zero, and two control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 are both disposed at the side of the de-multiplexing switch group 103, away from the pixel array 101.
That is, the number of control line groups CK1 and XCK1, and CK2 and XCK2 that intersect the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 is zero, and the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106 do not intersect any control line.
At this moment, there is no derived pulse signal in the signal transmission lines 104, 105, and 106.
In the present disclosure, because the voltage levels of the first control signal and the second control signal transmitted by the first control line and the second control line respectively are opposite to each other, and a number of control line groups that intersect the signal transmission line is greater than or equal to zero, a first derived pulse signal, which is resulted in the signal transmission line and which corresponds to the first control signal, is offset by a second derived pulse signal corresponding to the second control signal. Thus, pictures displayed by display panels can be prevented from being affected by derived pulse signals generated from intersections of signal transmission lines and a control line group used to control de-multiplexing switches.
In conclusion, although the present disclosure has been disclosed with reference to the foregoing preferred embodiments thereof, it is not limited to the foregoing preferred embodiments. For those skilled in the art, a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
