The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid crystal display technologies, and in particular, to a driving method of display panel and a driving device of display panel.
Most of the current large-size liquid crystal display panels are Vertical Alignment (VA) liquid crystal or In-Plane Switching (IPS) liquid crystal.
Comparing VA liquid crystal technology with IPS liquid crystal technology, it can be found that VA liquid crystal technology has higher production efficiency and a lower manufacturing cost, but it is worse than IPS liquid crystal technology in optical property performance, and there are obvious optical property defects.
Especially when it is suitable for a large-sized display panel, if the display panel is viewed with a small viewing angle during the driving process of the VA liquid crystal, for example, the lightness of the pixel will vary linearly with voltage if viewed from the front; the lightness of the pixel will quickly saturate with voltage if viewed with a larger viewing angle, resulting in serious deterioration of the image quality of the viewing angle. Obviously, there is a big difference between the ideal curve and the actual curve, which makes the gray scale which should be presented under a larger viewing angle seriously change due to deterioration, which leads to color cast.
In order to improve the color cast problem of the VA liquid crystal, a general solution is to further divide the sub-pixels into main pixels and secondary pixels, but after dividing the main pixels and the secondary pixels, if the display panel is viewed at a larger viewing angle, the tendency of the lightness of the pixel to change with voltage is close to the tendency of the voltage change when viewing the display panel with a small viewing angle.
However, the manner of dividing the main pixel and the secondary pixel will solve the color cast problem by spatially giving different driving voltages to the main and secondary pixels, thus causing the design of a metal routing or a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) element again to drive the secondary pixel, which will cause the transmissible open area to sacrifice, which in turn affects the panel transmittance.
Therefore, it can be considered that the current color cast solution will not affect the color cast phenomenon well because it will affect the panel transmittance.
The main object of the present application is to propose a driving method of a display panel and a device, which aims to effectively improve the color cast phenomenon without affecting the panel transmittance.
To achieve the above object, the present application provides a driving method of a display panel. The display panel includes a display array, the display array including pixel units arranged in an array; the driving method includes:

Further, to achieve the above object, the present application further proposes a driving method of a display panel. The display panel includes a display array, the display array includes pixel units arranged in an array, and the pixel units include a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit. The first pixel unit and the second pixel unit are alternately disposed, and polarities of two adjacent sub-pixels are opposite; the driving method includes:

In the first embodiment, the driving method of the display panel includes the following steps:
step S10 of acquiring a first preset scanning driving signal, a second preset scanning driving signal, and a preset data driving signal, and shortening the driving time of the second preset scanning driving signal corresponding to the preset data driving signal.
It should be noted that, as shown in
Step S20 of taking the cycle in which two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are scanned as a driving cycle, and driving the odd-numbered column of sub-pixels in the first row and the even-numbered column of sub-pixels in the second row by the first preset scanning driving signal, and driving the even-numbered column of sub-pixels in the first row and the odd-numbered column of sub-pixels in the second row in the driving cycle by the second preset scanning driving signal.
It should be noted that, as shown in
It can be understood that the scanning switching sequence that controls Vg2 is shorter than the charging signal time of the data driving signal, which is relatively long compared with the charging signal time corresponding to the Vg1 scanning switching sequence, so that the sub-pixel charging capability corresponding to the scanning drive circuit Vg2 is deteriorated, and the sub-pixel charging capability corresponding to the Vg1 scanning circuit becomes strong, thereby achieving the difference between the high-voltage sub-pixel charging and the low-voltage sub-pixel charging, thereby achieving the effect of improving the color cast.
The present application uses two scanning driving signals to drive sub-pixels of two adjacent rows in an interspersed manner, and drives the driving time of the preset scanning driving signal in the scanning driving signal with respect to the preset data driving signal, thereby there are differences in the driving time of the two scanning driving signals, so that the charging ability of the sub-pixels on the two rows of scanning driving signals is different, and the adjacent sub-pixels of the same column are driven by the driving method of high/low voltage interleaving arrangement, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the color cast.
Optionally, before step S10, the method further includes:
setting the polarities of two adjacent sub-pixels to be opposite. And after step S20, the method further includes:
driving the same column of sub-pixels with the same data driving signal.
It can be understood that, as shown in
Optionally, after driving the same column of sub-pixels with the same data driving signal, the method further includes:
driving the two adjacent sub-pixels in the same column by the preset data driving signal, and the preset data driving signal is an average value of historical driving signals of two adjacent sub-pixels.
It should be noted that the driving signals of the two sub-pixels adjacent to each other in the same history are the driving signals of the two sub-pixels adjacent to each other in the same row before the improvement. The equivalent voltages of the equivalent driving voltages VGd_1 and VGd_2 of the adjacent two sub-pixels in the same column are respectively driven by the positive polarity driving voltage Vgd=VG1 and the negative polarity driving voltage Vgd=VG1′. The positive polarity driving voltage VG1 and the negative polarity driving voltage VG1′ may preferably be average signals of the original pixel signals Gd1 and Gd2 signals, and are 0 to 255 signals for the 8-bit driving signal, that is, G1=(Gd1+Gd2)/2, the positive polarity driving voltage VG1 and the negative polarity driving voltage VG1′ corresponding to the G1 signal. The equivalent voltages of VGd_3 and VGd_4 are driven by the positive polarity driving voltage Vgd=VG2 and the negative polarity driving voltage Vgd=VG2′ respectively, then the average signal of the original frame pixel signals Gd3 and Gd4 signal may be preferably 0 to 255 signals for the 8-bit driving signal, that is, G2=(Gd3+Gd4)/2, the positive polarity driving voltage VG2 and the negative polarity driving voltage VG2′ corresponding to G2 signal.
Optionally, after step S10, the method further includes:
receiving an inversion signal, inverting the first preset scanning driving signal and the preset data driving signal according to the inversion signal, obtaining an inverted first preset scanning driving signal and an inverted preset data driving signal and shortening the driving time of the inverted first preset scanning driving signal, so that the driving time of the first preset scanning driving signal corresponding to the inverted preset data driving signal is shortened.
Continuing with the timing of 4b, the sub-pixels of the G column in the figure, wherein sub-pixels of R and B column are the same, Vg1 is the scanning driving voltage corresponding to the high-voltage sub-pixels VGd_1, VGd_3, and VGd_5 and Vg2 is the scanning driving voltage corresponding to the low-voltage sub-pixels VGd_2, VGd_4, and VGd_6, wherein the switching sequence of the Vg1 scanning driving signal is longer than the charging signal VG1 of the data driving signal, and the switching sequence is shorter than the charging signal VG1′ of the data driving signal with respect to the switching sequence of Vg2 scanning driving signal.
In the present embodiment, as the driving signals of the adjacent two frames are inversed, as shown in
Optionally, the pixel unit includes a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit, which are alternately disposed in a column direction, wherein the first pixel unit includes red sub-pixels and green sub-pixels, blue sub-pixels and the second pixel unit includes blue sub-pixels, white sub-pixels, red sub-pixels, and green sub-pixels fell into place.
Optionally, the step S20 includes:
taking the cycle in which two adjacent rows of sub-pixels are scanned as a driving cycle, the red sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels in the first row and the white sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels in the second row are driven by the first preset scanning driving signal, and the green sub-pixels and the white sub-pixels in the first row and the blue sub-pixels and the red sub-pixels in the second row in the driving cycle are driven by the second preset scanning driving signal.

As shown in
The driving module 200 can be understood with reference to the foregoing embodiment. After the processing, the sub-pixels of two adjacent two rows are driven in an interspersed manner by using two scanning driving signals, and the driving time of the preset scanning driving signal in the scanning driving signal is driven with respect to the preset data driving signal, thereby there are differences in the driving time of the two scanning driving signals, so that the charging ability of the sub-pixels on the two rows of scanning driving signals is different, and the adjacent sub-pixels of the same column are driven by the driving method of high/low voltage interleaving arrangement, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the color cast.
Further, the present application further provides a storage medium on which a driver for a display panel is stored. When the driver of the display panel is implemented by the processor, the following steps of the driving method of the display panel are realized:
acquiring a first preset scanning driving signal, a second preset scanning driving signal, and a preset data driving signal, and shortening the driving time of the second preset scanning driving signal corresponding to the preset data driving signal;
