DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

With the continuous improvement of information technology and living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for display quality such as transmittance and viewing angle. To improve the viewing angle, pixels need to be divided into multiple domains, but this will bring about the loss of transmittance. Therefore, the viewing angle and the transmittance are inversely related to benefits. Shared discharge rod technology is a technology that can improve low gray-scale viewing angles. The shared discharge rod technology is to have two shared discharge rods on the display panel. The two shared discharge rods are respectively a positive-polarity shared discharge rod and a negative-polarity shared discharge rod. voltages of the positive-polarity shared discharge rod and the negative-polarity shared discharge rod are inverted in a blanking time interval of each frame following a data signal, thereby improving the display viewing angle.


In a practical application, there are various circuit ways to realize a voltage inversion of the shared discharge rod. The existing solution is to realize a voltage switching through an integrated circuit bus communication between a timing controller and a power management chip. The integrated circuit bus between the timing controller and the power management chip in a circuit system has only one line. In addition to the timing controller and power management chip, the integrated circuit bus is usually connected to other modules, such as a system chip or a programming socket. If the timing controller and the power management chip communicate through the integrated circuit bus, and other modules also issue commands through the integrated circuit bus, it is easy to be disturbed, resulting in issues of abnormal images.

The present application provides a driving circuit, a driving method, and a display panel, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application.


Refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit 100 provided by the present application. The present application provides the driving circuit 100, which includes: a timing controller 10, a power management chip 20, a first shared discharge rod 30, and a second shared discharge rod 40.


The timing controller 10 includes a first pin 11. The power management chip 20 includes a second pin 21. The power management chip 20 is electrically connected to the first shared discharge rod 30. The power management chip 20 is electrically connected to the second shared discharge rod 40.


The first pin 11 is electrically connected to the second pin 21. The power management chip 20 simultaneously outputs voltages with opposite polarities to the first shared discharge rod 30 and the second shared discharge rod 40. The timing controller 10 controls the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level in a blanking time interval of each frame.


The power management chip 20 is used to invert the polarity of the voltages of the first shared discharge rod 30 and the voltage of the second shared discharge rod 40 in the blanking time interval of each frame under the control of the level signal of the first pin 11.


Specifically, in some embodiments, when the level signal of the first pin 11 is at a high level, the power management chip 20 outputs a positive voltage to the first shared discharge rod 30, and the power management chip 20 outputs a negative voltage to the second shared discharge rod 40. When the level signal of the first pin 11 is at a low level, the power management chip 20 outputs a negative voltage to the first shared discharge rod 30, and the power management chip 20 outputs a positive voltage to the second shared discharge rod 40. The positive voltage is positive 8 volts and the negative voltage is negative 6 volts.


The present application uses the timing controller 10 to control the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level in the blanking time interval of each frame, and the first pin 11 is directly electrically connected to the second pin 21. Therefore, the power management chip 20 can directly obtain the signal of the first pin 11. The timing controller 10 does not need to issue instructions to the power management chip 20 through the integrated circuit bus. The power management chip 20 reverses the polarity of the voltage of the first shared discharge rod 30 and the voltage of the second shared discharge rod 40 in the blanking time interval of each frame under the control of the level signal of the first pin 11. Therefore, the present application will not be disturbed by external signals in the process of realizing the inversion of the voltage polarity of the shared discharge rods, thereby solving issues of abnormal images of the display panel 1000.


In some embodiments, the timing controller 10 controls the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level according to a frame start signal of each frame. The frame start signal of each frame is located at the beginning of the blanking time interval of each frame. Therefore, after obtaining the frame start signal of each frame, the timing controller 10 can control the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between the high level and the low level. It is conceivable that the blanking time interval of each frame can also be determined in other ways as long as the timing controller 10 can control the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level in the blanking time interval of each frame.


In some other embodiments of the present application, when the level signal of the first pin 11 is at a high level, the power management chip 20 outputs a negative voltage to the first shared discharge rod 30, and the power management chip 20 outputs a positive polarity voltage to the second shared discharge rod 40. When the level signal of the first pin 11 is a low level, the power management chip 20 outputs a positive voltage to the first shared discharge rod 30, and the power management chip 20 outputs a negative voltage to the second shared discharge rod 40.


Refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a timing controller 10 of a driving circuit 100 provided by the present application. In some embodiments, the timing controller 10 includes:

    • a controller 12;
    • a register 13, wherein the controller 12 is electrically connected to the register 13, and the register 13 is electrically connected to the first pin 11.


Specifically, the controller 12 inputs data of a high-level signal or data of a low-level signal to the register 13 in the blanking time interval of each frame. For example, in the blanking time interval of the previous frame, the controller 12 inputs the data of the high-level signal to the register 13. Then, in the blanking time interval of the next frame, the controller 12 inputs the data of the low-level signal to the register 13. Therefore, the timing controller 10 controls the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level within the blanking time interval of each frame. The power management chip 20 is electrically connected to the first pin 11 through the second pin 21, so that a high-level signal or a low-level signal can be obtained. Thus, the polarity of the voltage of the first shared discharge rod 30 and the polarity of the voltage of the second shared discharge rod 40 are controlled to be reversed.


Still further, in some embodiments, the timing controller 10 further includes:

    • a pulse signal generator 14 electrically connected to the controller 12.


Specifically, the pulse signal generator 14 is used for generating a frame start signal of each frame. In this way, the pulse signal generator 14 sends the frame start signal of each frame to the controller 12. The controller 12 then inputs the data of the high-level signal or the data of the low-level signal to the register 13 according to the frame start signal of each frame. In an embodiment of the present application, when the controller 12 receives the frame start signal of the previous frame, the controller 12 inputs the data of the high-level signal to the register 13. Then, when the controller 12 receives the frame start signal of the next frame, the controller 12 inputs the data of the low-level signal to the register 13. Thus, the timing controller 10 controls the level signal of the first pin 11 to switch between a high level and a low level according to the frame start signal of each frame. The power management chip 20 is electrically connected to the first pin 11 through the second pin 21, so that a high-level signal or a low-level signal can be obtained. Thus, the polarity of the voltage of the first shared discharge rod 30 and the polarity of the voltage of the second shared discharge rod 40 are controlled to be reversed.

That is, after receiving the level signal of the first pin 11 through the second pin 21 in the blanking time interval of each frame, the decoder 22 decodes the level signal of the first pin 11 to form a control signal. The signal is sent to the first signal control terminal 231 of the voltage conversion circuit 23. The voltage conversion circuit 23 switches the voltage of the first voltage output terminal 233 and the voltage of the second voltage output terminal 234 between the first voltage and the second voltage under the signal control of the first signal control terminal 231. Thus, the polarity inversion of the voltage of the first shared discharge rod 30 and the polarity inversion of the voltage of the second shared discharge rod 40 are controlled within the blanking time interval of each frame.


Further, in some embodiments, the voltage conversion circuit 23 includes a step-down control circuit. The step-down control circuit adopts the circuit of the prior art. The existing step-down control circuit can convert the high level of the power input terminal 232 into multiple voltages. The plurality of voltages include at least a first voltage and a second voltage. The step-down control circuit switches the voltage of the first voltage output terminal 233 and the voltage of the second voltage output terminal 234 between the first voltage and the second voltage under the signal control of the first signal control terminal 231.


Specifically, in an embodiment, when the level signal of the first pin 11 is at a high level, the step-down control circuit outputs a positive voltage to the first shared discharge rod 30, and the step-down control circuit outputs a negative voltage to the second shared discharge rod 40.

    • wherein the decoder 22 is used for decoding the level signal of the first pin 11 under the signal control of the second signal control terminal 221 and then sending it to the first signal control terminal 231.


That is, after receiving the level signal of the first pin 11 through the second pin 21, and at the same time, after the pulse signal generator 14 sends the frame start signal of each frame to the decoder 22, the decoder 22 decodes the level signal of the first pin 11 to form a control signal and sends it to the first signal control terminal 231 of the voltage conversion circuit 23.
