The present invention relates to a display panel technology, and more particularly to a driving circuit and a driving method of a driving circuit.
In order to avoid ghosting caused in a screen of a liquid crystal display panel due to its lower liquid crystal response speed, during the liquid crystal display panel dynamically displays images, it usually applies to its pixel unit a voltage higher than a target pixel voltage when an image frame is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel, such that the pixel unit is over driven (OD), thereby achieving the purpose of reducing liquid crystal response time.

As shown in
Each circuit unit includes a plurality of voltage dividing resistors connected in parallel. The plurality of voltage dividing resistors include a first resistor and a second resistor. The resistance of the first resistor is less than the resistance of the second resistor. Taking the circuit unit A1 for example, the circuit unit A1 includes a voltage dividing resistor R1_1 and a voltage dividing resistor R1_2 that are connected in parallel. The voltage dividing resistor R1_1 is the first resistor of the circuit unit A1, the voltage dividing resistor R1_2 is the second resistor of the circuit unit A1, and the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 is less than the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R1_2.
The plurality of circuit units (circuit unit A1 to circuit unit An) divide a plurality of first reference voltages (Vstandard_1 to Vstandard_m) into a plurality of divided voltages (Vgamma_1 to Vgamma_n) corresponding to a plurality of grayscales (grayscale 1 to grayscale N). After that, the divided voltages will be provided for the pixel units via the data lines on the display panel.
It needs to be noted that the first reference voltages are voltages obtained by dividing a power voltage VDD via a series of fundamental GAMMA resistor networks.
The controller 11 will select the first resistor of at least one selected circuit unit to be connected from the plurality of circuit units based on a current-frame grayscale of the data line, and select the second resistor of the selected circuit unit to be connected when the pixel unit needs to be driven by a second reference voltage. For example, when the current-frame grayscale on the data line of the display panel is grayscale 2, the controller will select the first resistor of the circuit unit A1 and the circuit unit A2 to be connected (meanwhile, the circuit unit A1 and the circuit unit A2 are the selected circuit units). That is, the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 are connected or conductive such that the driving circuit 10 outputs a divided voltage Vgamma_2 to the pixel unit of the display panel. In order to avoid ghost images caused on a screen of the display panel due to low speed of liquid crystal response of the pixel unit such that it needs to make the pixel unit be driven by the second reference voltage to reduce its liquid crystal response time, the display panel will send to the driving circuit 10 a related instruction indicating that the pixel unit needs to be driven by the second reference voltage. In response to the instruction, the driving circuit 10 will make the second resistor of the circuit unit A1 and the circuit unit A2 be connected or conductive. That is, the voltage dividing resistor R1_2 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_2 are connected or conductive such that the driving circuit 10 outputs the second reference voltage to the pixel unit of the display panel. Since the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 is less than the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R1_2 and the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 is less than the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R2_2, the voltage value of the dived voltage Vgamma_2 is less than the voltage value of the second reference voltage. Therefore, the pixel unit is changed from being driven by the divided voltage Vgamma_2 to being driven by the second reference voltage.
As shown in
It needs to be noted that in the present embodiment the controller will determine a target voltage dividing resistor from the plurality of second resistors of the selected circuit unit based on a grayscale voltage difference between the current-frame grayscale and a previous-frame grayscale of the data line, and select the target voltage dividing resistor to be connected when the pixel unit needs to be driven by the second reference voltage. Next, it is assumed that the previous-frame grayscale on the data line is grayscale 2, the current-frame grayscale is grayscale 3, and the grayscale voltage difference between the grayscale 2 and the grayscale 3 is V1. When the pixel unit displays a previous frame and is driven by the divided voltage Vgamma_2, the circuit unit B1 and the circuit unit B2 are previous circuit units and their first resistors (i.e., the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_1) are connected. When the pixel unit displays a current frame and is driven by a divided voltage Vgamma_3, the circuit unit B1, the circuit unit B2 and the circuit unit B3 are selected circuit units and their first resistors (i.e., the voltage dividing resistor R1_1, the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_1) are connected. When the display panel sends to the driving circuit 20 a related instruction indicating that the pixel unit needs to be driven by the second reference voltage, the driving circuit responses to the instruction and determines a target voltage dividing resistor (for example, the determined target voltage dividing resistor includes the voltage dividing resistor R1_3, the voltage dividing resistor R2_3 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_3) suitable for the grayscale voltage difference V1 from the plurality of second resistors of a plurality of selected circuit units based on the grayscale voltage difference between the grayscale 2 and the grayscale 3. Then, the connected voltage dividing resistors are switched from the voltage dividing resistor R1_1, the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_1 to the voltage dividing resistor R1_3, the voltage dividing resistor R2_3 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_3 such that the pixel unit is changed from being driven by the divided voltage Vgamma_3 to being driven by the second reference voltage.
Specifically, the grayscale voltage difference V1 may be calculated based on the first resistor (i.e., the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_1) of the previous circuit unit and the first resistor (i.e., the voltage dividing resistor R1_1, the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_1) of the selected circuit unit.
It needs to be noted that the controller 21 may determine the target voltage dividing resistor from the plurality of second resistors based on a voltage difference threshold corresponding to the grayscale voltage difference. For example, if the grayscale voltage difference V1 between the grayscale 2 and the grayscale 3 corresponds to a voltage difference threshold 1, the target voltage dividing resistor includes the voltage dividing resistor R1_2, the voltage dividing resistor R2_2 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_2; if the grayscale voltage difference V1 between the grayscale 2 and the grayscale 3 corresponds to a voltage difference threshold 2, the target voltage dividing resistor includes the voltage dividing resistor R1_3, the voltage dividing resistor R2_3 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_3, and so on. Further, it may also establish a lookup table recording a mapping relationship between the plurality of grayscale voltage differences and the plurality of target voltage dividing resistors, and directly look up the table and select the target voltage dividing resistor to be connected according to a result of the looking up when the pixel unit needs to be over driven.
Further, the resistance of the plurality of second resistors of each circuit unit differs by a preset threshold and sequentially increases. Taking the plurality of voltage dividing resistors of the circuit unit B1 for example, the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R1_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 differs by RX and the resistance of the voltage dividing resistor R2_1 and the voltage dividing resistor R3_1 also differs by RX.
It needs to be noted that in order to reduce the power consumption generated by the display panel in driving the pixel units, when there are a plurality of selected circuit units (that is, there will have a plurality of selected circuit units under all grayscales except the grayscale 1), the controller 21 will determine at least one target circuit unit from the plurality of selected circuit units based on a grayscale level difference between the current-frame grayscale and a previous-frame grayscale of the data line, and select the second resistor of the target circuit unit to be connected when the pixel unit of the display panel needs to be driven by the second reference voltage. For example, it is assumed that the previous-frame grayscale on the data line is grayscale 2, the current-frame grayscale is grayscale 3, and the grayscale level difference between the current-frame grayscale and the previous-frame grayscale is 1. At this time, if the pixel unit needs to be over driven, the controller will determine a target circuit unit from the plurality of selected circuit units, that is, determine the circuit unit B1 as the target circuit unit from the circuit unit B1, the circuit unit B2 and the circuit unit B3, and select the second resistor of the circuit unit B1 to be connected.
Further, the number of the target circuit units corresponds to a value corresponding to the grayscale level difference, and the target circuit unit in the circuit unit B1, the circuit unit B2 and the circuit unit B3 can be determined based on the grayscale voltage difference V1 between the grayscale 2 and the grayscale 3.
It is easy to be understood that after the pixel unit is driven by the second reference voltage and the voltage of the pixel unit arrives at a target pixel voltage value, the controller will select the first resistor of the selected circuit unit to be connected such that the pixel unit is driven by a standard divided voltage. In this way, the power consumption generated by the display panel in driving the pixel units can be reduced.
It needs to be noted that in a specific embodiment, the circuit units serve as voltage dividing units in a GAMMA circuit; the first resistor is an original voltage dividing resistor; the second resistor is a to-be-selected voltage dividing resistor; the first reference voltage is a driving base voltage; the second reference voltage is an over-driving voltage; and the divided voltage is a gamma voltage.

In the driving circuits provided in the present invention, since the second resistor having resistance greater than the resistance of the first resistor is added in each circuit unit, the purpose of driving the pixel unit by the second reference voltage is achieved by switching the voltage dividing resistors in the circuit units when the pixel unit needs to be driven by the second reference voltage.
In an obtaining step S101, an over-driving instruction is obtained, wherein the over-driving instruction carries information indicating that the pixel unit needs to be over driven; and
In a response step S102, in response to the over-driving instruction, a connected voltage dividing resistor in a selected circuit unit under a current-frame grayscale is switched from the first resistor to the second resistor such that the pixel unit is over driven.
Further, when there are a plurality of second resistors, the response step S102 may include:
Further, when there are a plurality of selected circuit units, the response step S102 may include:
Compared to the existing arts, the present invention provides a driving method of a driving circuit including obtaining an over-driving instruction, which carries information indicating that the pixel unit needs to be over driven; and after that, in response to the over-driving instruction, switching a connected voltage dividing resistor in a selected circuit unit under a current-frame grayscale from the first resistor to the second resistor such that the pixel unit is over driven. In the driving method of the driving circuit provided in the present invention, since the second resistor having resistance greater than the resistance of the first resistor is added in each circuit unit of the driving circuit, the purpose of driving the pixel unit by the second reference voltage is achieved by switching the voltage dividing resistors in the circuit units when the pixel unit needs to be driven by the second reference voltage.
