The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid display technology, and more particularly relates to a driving method of display panel, a driving device of display panel, and a display apparatus.
Large size liquid crystal display panels are mostly configured in vertical alignment (VA) type or in coplanar switching (IPS) type.
Comparing VA liquid crystal technology with IPS liquid crystal technology, it can be found that VA liquid crystal technology has higher production efficiency and lower manufacturing cost, but it is inferior to IPS liquid crystal technology in optical properties and has obvious defects in optical properties.
Especially when it is suitable for large-sized display panels, see
In order to improve the color shift problem of va liquid crystal, the general solution is to further divide the subpixels into main pixels and subpixels. See
However, this way of dividing the main pixel from the subpixel will solve the color shift problem by giving different driving voltages to the primary and secondary pixels in space, which will result in the need to redesign the metal wiring or thin film transistor (TFT) elements to drive the subpixel when designing the pixel, which will result in the sacrifice of the transparent opening area and further affect the panel transmittance.
Therefore, it can be considered that the current color shift solution cannot improve the color shift phenomenon well because it will affect the panel transmittance.

In the display panel shown in
Based on the above hardware structure, an embodiment of the driving method for the display panel of the present application is proposed.

Referring to
In the first embodiment, the driving method of the display panel includes the following steps:
Step S10, acquiring a first preset scanning driving signal and a second preset scanning driving signal, wherein a conduction duration of the first preset scanning driving signal is smaller than the conduction duration of the second preset scanning driving signal.
It should be noted that, as shown in
Step S20, taking a time duration of scanning two adjacent rows of pixel unit as a driving period, in a current driving period, driving odd column pixel units in first row of pixel units with the first preset scanning driving signal, driving even column pixel units in first row of pixel units with the second preset scanning driving signal, driving odd column pixel units in second row of pixel units with the second preset scanning driving signal, driving even column pixel units in second row of pixel units with the first preset scanning driving signal.
In this embodiment, red (R), green (G) and blue (B) subpixels are taken as one pixel unit, and more subpixels such as white (W) may also be included. This embodiment is not limited to this. In order to realize that each pixel unit adopts a high-low voltage interleaved driving arrangement, the sub-pixels in each row of pixel units adopt two scanning driving lines and driving signals, the odd and even rows of pixel units in the same row of pixel units adopt different scanning driving lines, and the sub-pixels in each row of pixel units simultaneously turn on two scanning driving signals while driving the same row of pixel units. In addition, the driving circuit design of crossing between left and right adjacent sub-pixels is matched with the data driving signal, and the same data driving circuit is driven for the same polarity to reduce the frequent driving of polarity, thereby reducing the operation of the driving IC, reducing the power consumption of the driving IC and the risk of temperature rise of the driving IC, and achieving the driving mode of crossing arrangement of high-voltage pixel units and low-voltage pixel units, thus solving the problem of viewing angle color deviation, realizing high-voltage and low-voltage sub-pixels with different time sequences when scanning driving signals are switched, and avoiding resolution degradation because the difference between the high-voltage sub-pixels and the low-pixels will not be clearly perceived by the naked eye.
It can be understood that, as shown in the timing diagrams of
In this embodiment, the pixel units in the same row are driven in a way of inserting two scanning driving signals, and the conduction time of the first scanning signal in the scanning driving signal is set to be less than the conduction time of the second scanning signal, so that the charging time of the pixel units corresponding to the driving of the two scanning driving signals is different, causing the charging capacity of adjacent pixel units in the same row to be different, realizing the driving mode of inserting and arranging high-voltage pixel units and low-voltage pixel units in the same row, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing color shift.
Further, the pixel unit includes first pixel units and second pixel units alternately arranged in the row direction and the column direction, respectively. Before step S10, the method further includes:
setting the polarities of adjacent subpixels of the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit to opposite polarities, and before the step S20, the method further includes:
driving each column of subpixels in the same column of the pixel units with a preset number of data driving signals.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, since the data driving signals are arranged in such a way that the left and right adjacent sub-pixels are alternately driven, the same polarity drives the same data driving signal without designing corresponding driving signals to drive according to the difference of driving signals of each sub-pixel, the driving frequency of the IC is less and the purpose of frequency reduction is achieved.
The data driving signal includes a first preset data driving signal and a second preset data driving signal; the method for driving each column of sub-pixels in the same column of pixel units by using a preset number of data driving signals comprises the following steps:
driving a first polarity subpixel in odd rows of subpixels in the same column of pixel units with a first preset data driving signal, and driving a second polarity subpixel in even rows of subpixels in the same column of pixel units with a second preset data driving signal.
Further, after the step S20, the method further includes:
driving two adjacent subpixels in a same column of pixel units with a third preset data driving signal, and the third preset data driving signal is an average value of historical driving signals of the two adjacent subpixels.
It should be noted that the historical driving signals of the adjacent two sub-pixels are the driving signals of the adjacent two sub-pixels in the same column before improvement, and the equivalent voltages of the equivalent driving voltages VGd_1 and VGd_2 of the adjacent two sub-pixels in the same column are driven by the positive driving voltage Vgd=VG1 and the negative driving voltage Vgd=VG1′, respectively. The positive drive voltage vg1 and the negative drive voltage vg1′ may preferably be the average signals of the original pixel signals Gd1 and Gd2, and 0 to 255 signals in terms of 8-bit driving signals, i.e., the positive drive voltage VG1 and the negative drive voltage VG1′ corresponding to G1=(Gd1+Gd2)/2, G1 signals. The equivalent voltages of VGd_3 and VGd_4 are driven by the positive drive voltage Vgd=VG2 and the negative drive voltage Vgd=VG2′, respectively, and may preferably be the average signals of the pixel signals gd3 and gd4 of the original frame and 0 to 255 signals in terms of the 8-bit driving signal, i.e., G2=(Gd3+Gd4)/2, G2 signals corresponding to the positive drive voltage vg2 and the negative drive voltage VG2′.
Further, the same row of sub-pixels are conducted with different preset time durations, where the preset time is alternately set for the second preset time and the first preset time.
As shown in the timing chart of
As shown in
Further, an inversion signal is acquired, and the conduction duration of the first scan driving signal and the second scan driving signal is switched according to the inversion signal.
With the inversion of adjacent data driving signals, the switching timing of scan driving signals is also switched with respect to data driving signals ΔT1 and ΔT2, i.e. the switching timing of scan driving signals of VG1 is ΔT2 with respect to data driving signals, and the switching timing of scan driving signals of VG2 is ΔT1 with respect to data driving signals, so that sub-pixels with different timing and different high and low voltage signals can be realized, and since the difference between high voltage sub-pixels and low voltage sub-pixels cannot be seen clearly by naked eyes, resolution degradation is avoided.
Further, after the step S10, the method further includes:
the high-voltage driving signal in the first preset scanning driving signal and the high-voltage driving signal in the second preset scanning driving signal are driven with different driving voltages, and the low-voltage driving signal in the first preset scanning driving signal and the low-voltage driving signal in the second preset scanning driving signal are driven with different driving voltages.
As shown in
In addition, the embodiment of the application also provides a driving device for the display panel. As shown in
an acquiring module 110 configured to acquire a first preset scanning driving signal and a second preset scanning driving signal, where a conduction duration of the first preset scanning driving signal is smaller than the conduction duration of the second preset scanning driving signal.
a driving module 120 configured to take a time duration of scanning two adjacent rows of pixel unit as a driving period, in a current driving period, drive odd column pixel units in first row of pixel units with the first preset scanning driving signal, drive even column pixel units in first row of pixel units with the second preset scanning driving signal, drive odd column pixel units in second row of pixel units with the second preset scanning driving signal, drive even column pixel units in second row of pixel units with the first preset scanning driving signal.
As shown in
The driving module 200 can refer to the above embodiment. After this process, the pixel units in the same row are driven in a way that two scanning driving signals are inserted into each other, and the conduction time of the first scanning signal in the scanning driving signal is set to be less than the conduction time of the second scanning signal, so that the charging time of the pixel units corresponding to the driving of the two scanning driving signals is different, resulting in different charging capacities of adjacent pixel units in the same row, thus realizing the driving of adjacent pixel units in the same row in a driving way that high-voltage pixel units and low-voltage pixel units are inserted into each other, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing color shift.
In addition, the embodiment of the application also provides a storage medium on which computer-readable instructions are stored, wherein the computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor implement the driving method of the display panel.
