Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of a liquid crystal display, and more particularly, to a driving method and a driving device of a liquid crystal panel.

BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, a traditional Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) display is gradually replaced by a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as the LCD is advantageous in its small size, light weight, high display quality, and the like. A picture displayed by a liquid crystal panel in the liquid crystal display is constituted by a plurality of pixels arranged in arrays, each pixel is usually composed of sub-pixels displaying a respective color respectively, and a brightness displayed by each sub-pixel is determined together by the brightness of a backlight module of the liquid crystal display and a greyscale of the sub-pixel of the liquid crystal panel. In an existing driving method of the liquid crystal display, the most common method is: maintaining a fixed brightness by using the brightness of the backlight module; driving a liquid crystal in each sub-pixel of the liquid crystal panel to rotate by using a greyscale voltage of a different size respectively according to input image data, so as to determine light transmittance (i.e. brightness) of the respective sub-pixel through a rotation angle of a liquid crystal molecule, thus achieving a purpose of greyscale display and imaging.

With the development of liquid crystal display technique, a time-division driving technique is proposed in order to solve a color bias problem of the liquid crystal display. The so-called time-division driving technique drives a plurality of actual greyscale values of each sub-pixel in a liquid crystal panel obtained through a conversion on to a liquid crystal panel in sequence so as to display a plurality of frame pictures. However, when using such a driving method, a scenario where greyscale values of all sub-pixels in a liquid crystal panel are relatively large or relatively small might occur in a certain frame picture, thereby causing a liquid crystal panel to be too bright or too dark as a whole, thus resulting in flickering of a displayed picture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Here a detailed reference will be made to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the examples are shown in the drawings and the same drawing reference marks may indicate the same component. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below by referring to the accompany drawings.

It should be clarified that the liquid crystal panel mentioned herein includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel including sub-pixels of a plurality of colors. The aftermentioned predetermined color sub-pixel refers to the sub-pixel of any one of a plurality of colors in the liquid crystal panel.

An driving method of a liquid crystal panel according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is characterized in: driving a predetermined color sub-pixel of a liquid crystal panel in a unit of consecutive n frames. Here, n is an integer larger than 1. A step of driving n frames of any one unit of predetermined color sub-pixel is described hereinafter.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a step of driving predetermined color sub-pixel of n frames of any one unit in a driving method of liquid crystal panel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, in step S101, determining an original greyscale value of each predetermined color sub-pixel respectively in n frames, so as to acquire n original greyscale values with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, the original greyscale value is an initial greyscale value of a frame of picture displayed by the sub-pixel (for example, the greyscale value configured for the sub-pixel when driving the liquid crystal panel to display a frame of picture in the related art). In may be understood that, various existing methods may be used to acquire n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel.

In step S102, acquiring n actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel acquired in step S101. Here, those skilled in the art can acquire the n actual greyscale values by using various existing methods.

As an example, FIG. 2 shows a step of acquiring n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel (that is, acquiring n actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself).

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a step of acquiring n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S201, determining m index values according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel, m being an integer larger than 0. Here, the index values are the greyscale values for searching the display look-up table as mentioned below. A number of the index values may be determined according to n and the actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value in the aftermentioned display look-up table. In may be understood that, various existing methods may be used to determine the m index values.

As an example, any m original greyscale values in the n original greyscale values may be taken as the m index values.

As another example, the n original greyscale values may be divided into m groups according to a predetermined rule. Here, the predetermined rule may be set by those skilled in the art according to design experiences. Then, an index value is determined with respect to each one of the m groups, so as to acquire the m index values. Here, various methods may be used to determine the index value of each group.

As an example, a step of determining an index value with respect to any one of the m groups includes: taking an average value of an original greyscale value in the one group as the one index value (that is, as the index value of the one group). Specifically speaking, a sum of the respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value, and the average value is taken as an index value.

In addition, a step of determining an index value with respect to any one of the m groups includes:

First, determining a brightness value of the one predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in the one group according to a gamma curve of the one predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, the gamma curve is a curve indicating the relationship between the greyscale and brightness of the predetermined color sub-pixel, and various measuring methods may be used to acquire the gamma curve. The gamma curve may be a normalized gamma curve, but is not limited thereto, and a gamma curve which has not been normalized can also be used.

Secondly, calculating an average value of determined brightness values, that is, a sum of the brightness values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value.

Then, a greyscale value of the average value on the gamma curve is taken as the one index value.

In step S202, finding a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value in m index values determined in step S201 from the display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel, so as to acquire n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel, that is, the a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value in the display look-up table may constitute the n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel.

Here, a×m=n, a first group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include at least one of a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, a second group of the n actual greyscale values include other actual greyscale values not included in the first group of actual greyscale values in a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, and a is an integer larger than 1.

Here, said display look-up table may be determined through various existing methods. Preferably, FIG. 3 shows the step of acquiring the display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a step of acquiring a display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, in step S301, an actual brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under a respective greyscale value within a greyscale value range of the liquid crystal panel separately in a case of front viewing and in a case of obliquely viewing is acquired. Here, front viewing refers to viewing the liquid crystal panel in parallel with a direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal panel. Obliquely viewing refers to viewing the liquid crystal panel from a place in a line so that the angle between the line and the direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal panel is about 60 degree. The value range of the greyscale value may vary along with the liquid crystal panel. When the liquid crystal panel is a 8-bit liquid crystal panel (that is, using a 8-bit binary number to indicate the greyscale value), the value range is [0, 255]; when the liquid crystal panel is a 10-bit liquid crystal panel (that is, using a 10-bit binary to indicate the greyscale value), the value range is [0, 1023]. In may be understood that, various existing methods may be used to acquire the actual brightness value.

As an example, the actual brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under the respective greyscale value within the greyscale value range of the liquid crystal panel in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing may be acquired by measuring a gamma curve of the predetermined color sub-pixel separately in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing. The gamma curve is a curve indicating a relationship between a greyscale and a brightness of the predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, the gamma curve may be measured through various existing methods.

In step S302, the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under a respective greyscale value in the value range separately in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing is calculated. Here, the theoretical brightness value may be calculated through various existing calculation methods.

As an example, the theoretical brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under any greyscale value g within the value range in a case of viewing from any angle is calculated through the following equation:

Lv(g)=Lv(g_max)′×(g/g_max)^γ  (1)

Here, γ is a predetermined gamma value, Lv(g) is the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the greyscale value g in the case of viewing from the angle, and Lv(g_max)′ is the actual brightness values of the color sub-pixel under the maximum greyscale value g_max within the value range in the case of viewing from the angle. Here, the angle refers to front viewing or obliquely viewing.

When calculating the theoretical brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under any greyscale value g within the value range in the case of front viewing, the greyscale value g, the maximum greyscale value g_max within the value range and the predetermined gamma value γ are substituted into equation (1), and actual brightness value Lv(g_max)′ of the predetermined color sub-pixel under the maximum greyscale value g_max in the case of front viewing is substituted, thus obtaining the theoretical brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under the greyscale value g in the case of front viewing. Based on this, the theoretical brightness value of the predetermined color sub-pixel under the respective greyscale value within the value range in the case of front viewing may be calculated.

When calculating the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under any greyscale value g within the value range in the case of obliquely viewing, the greyscale value g, the maximum greyscale value g_max within the value range and the predetermined gamma value γ are substituted into equation (1), and actual brightness value Lv(g)′ of the color sub-pixel under the maximum greyscale value g_max in the case of obliquely viewing is substituted, thus obtaining the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the greyscale value g in the case of obliquely viewing. Based on this, the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the respective greyscale value within the value range in the case of obliquely viewing may be calculated.

Here, the predetermined gamma value γ may be 2.2, but is not limited thereto, which may be set according to an actual situation. For example, the maximum greyscale value g_max is a maximum value within the value range, which may be 255 or 1023, but is not limited thereto, which can also be determined according to an actual parameter of the liquid crystal panel.

In step S303, the a actual greyscale values meeting a predetermined condition and corresponding to each greyscale value within the value range, which is taken as the index value, are determined according to the respective actual brightness value acquired in step S301 and the respective theoretical brightness value calculated in step S302, that is, with respect to each greyscale value within the value range, which is taken as the index value, the a actual greyscale values corresponding to the greyscale value may be determined, and the predetermine condition may be met between each greyscale value and the a actual greyscale values. Those skilled in the art may set the predetermined condition according to experiences.

Preferably, any greyscale value g within the greyscale value range, which is taken as the index value, as well as two corresponding actual greyscale values g_H and g_L meet the following predetermine condition:

min y=[Lv_front(g)+Lv_front(g)−Lv_front(g_H)′−Lv_front(g_L)′]²+[Lv_oblique(g)+Lv_oblique(g)−Lv_oblique(g_H)′−Lv_oblique(g_L)′]²  (2)

Here, a=2, wherein Lv_front(g) and Lv_oblique(g) are the theoretical brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the greyscale value g separately in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing, Lv_front (g_H)′ and LV_oblique (g_H)′ are the actual brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the actual greyscale value g_H separately in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing, Lv_front(g_L)′ and Lv_oblique(g_L)′ are the actual brightness value of the color sub-pixel under the actual greyscale value is g_L separately in the case of front viewing and in the case of obliquely viewing.

Thus, two actual greyscale values g_H and g_L corresponding to each index value within the value range and meeting the equation (2) may be determined.

Here, a number of the actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value may be determined according to scenarios of application.

In step S304, the display look-up table is acquired based on the correspondence relationship between each index value and the actual greyscale value within the value range determined in step S303.

Returning to FIG. 2, by using the display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel acquired through the steps as shown in FIG. 3, a actual greyscale values corresponding to each of the m index values determined in step S201 may be found from the display look-up table, so as to acquire a×m=n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, a first group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include at least one of a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, a second group of the n actual greyscale values include other actual greyscale values not included in the first group of actual greyscale values in a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, and a is an integer larger than 1.

As an example, when a=2, a first group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include a relatively larger one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, that is, a relatively larger one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to any one of the m index values is taken as one of the first group of actual greyscale values, thereby acquiring the first group of actual greyscale values constituted by m relatively larger actual greyscale values.

A second group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include a relatively smaller one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value. That is, a relatively smaller one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to any one of the m index values is taken as one of the second group of actual greyscale values, thereby acquiring the second group of actual greyscale values constituted by m relatively smaller actual greyscale values.

Based on above, the n actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel may be acquired by using the method as shown in FIG. 2.

Returning to FIG. 1, regarding step S102, as another example of the method of acquiring n actual greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel, the step of acquiring n actual greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel acquired in step S101 is as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a step of acquiring n actual greyscale values of the any one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, in step S401, acquiring a first group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel (that is, acquiring the first group of actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself according to at least one of n original greyscale values of the one of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself). Here, the first group of actual greyscale values may be acquired by using various existing methods.

Preferably, the first group of actual greyscale values may be acquired by using a method as shown in FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a step of acquiring a first group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S501, determining m index values according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel, m being an integer larger than 0. Step S501 and step S201 both refer to determining m index values according to at least one of n original greyscale values of a predetermined color sub-pixel, thus the methods thereof are identical to each other, and will not be repeated herein.

In step S502, searching for a actual greyscale values corresponding to each of the m index values in a display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel, so as to acquire n actual greyscale values; Here, a is an integer larger than 1. The method of acquiring the look-up table is identical to the one in step S202, and will not be repeated herein.

By using the display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel acquired through the steps as shown in FIG. 3, a actual greyscale values corresponding to each of the m index values determined in step S501 may be found from the display look-up table, so as to acquire a×m=n actual greyscale values.

In step S503, extracting a first group of actual greyscale values from the n actual greyscale values obtained from step S502 as the first group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel.

Here, a×m=n, a first group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include at least one of a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, and a is an integer larger than 1.

As an example, when a=2, a first group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include a relatively larger one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, that is, a relatively larger one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to any one of the m index values is taken as one of the first group of actual greyscale values, thereby acquiring the first group of actual greyscale values constituted by m relatively larger actual greyscale values.

Returning to FIG. 4, in step S402, acquiring a second group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel of the predetermined color sub-pixel (that is, the second group of actual greyscale value of the one predetermined color sub-pixel itself are acquired according to at least one of n original greyscale values of the adjacent one predetermined color sub-pixel).

Here, the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel of the one predetermined color sub-pixel may be any one of the plurality of predetermined color sub-pixels adjacent to the one predetermined color sub-pixel, and can also be any one predetermined color sub-pixel other than the one predetermined color sub-pixel in the liquid crystal panel. Those skilled in the art may choose an adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel according to experiences. It may be understood that, the second group of actual greyscale values may be acquired by using various existing methods.

Preferably, the second group of actual greyscale values may be acquired by using a method as shown in FIG. 6.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a step of acquiring a second group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of an adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel of any one predetermined color sub-pixel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S601, determining m index values according to at least one of n original greyscale values of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel, m being an integer larger than 0. Here, various existing methods may be used to determine the m index values.

As an example, any m original greyscale values in the n original greyscale values of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel may be taken as the m index values.

As another example, the n original greyscale values of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel may be divided into m groups according to a predetermined rule. Here, the predetermined rule may be set by those skilled in the art according to design experiences. Then, an index value is determined with respect to each one of the m groups, so as to acquire the m index values. Here, various methods may be used to determine the index value of each group.

As an example, a step of determining an index value with respect to any one of the m groups includes: taking an average value of an original greyscale value in the one group as the one index value (that is, as the index value of the one group). Specifically speaking, a sum of the respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value, and the average value is taken as an index value.

In addition, a step of determining an index value with respect to any one of the m groups includes:

First, determining a brightness value of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in the one group according to a gamma curve of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, the gamma curve is a curve indicating the relationship between the greyscale and brightness of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel, and various measuring methods may be used to acquire the gamma curve. The gamma curve may be a normalized gamma curve, but is not limited thereto, and a gamma curve which has not been normalized can also be used.

Secondly, calculating an average value of determined brightness values, that is, a sum of the brightness values of the one adjacent predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value.

Then, a greyscale value of the average value on the gamma curve is taken as the one index value.

In step S602, searching for a actual greyscale values corresponding to each of the m index values in a display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel, so as to acquire n actual greyscale values. Here, a is an integer larger than 1. The method of acquiring the look-up table is identical to the one in step S202 and step S502, and will not be repeated herein.

By using the display look-up table of the predetermined color sub-pixel acquired through the steps as shown in FIG. 3, a actual greyscale values corresponding to each of the m index values determined in step S601 may be found from the display look-up table, so as to acquire a×m=n actual greyscale values.

In step S603, extracting a first group of actual greyscale values from the n actual greyscale values obtained from step S602 as the first group of actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel.

Here, a×m=n, a second group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include at least one of a actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, and a is an integer larger than 1.

As an example, when a=2, a second group of actual greyscale values in the n actual greyscale values include a relatively smaller one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value, that is, a relatively smaller one of two actual greyscale values corresponding to any one of the m index values is taken as one of the second group of actual greyscale values, thereby acquiring the second group of actual greyscale values constituted by m relatively smaller actual greyscale values.

The first group of actual greyscale value acquired by using the method of FIG. 5 and the second group of actual greyscale values acquired by using the method of FIG. 6 together constitute the n actual greyscale values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel.

Returning to FIG. 1, in step S103, in each frame, one of the actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel is taken as the final greyscale value to drive each predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, an actual greyscale value of any one predetermined color sub-pixel in each frame in n consecutive frames of one unit is a different actual greyscale value. That is, the n actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel acquired in step S102 are respectively taken as the final greyscale values when each predetermined color sub-pixel displays each frame of one unit. Here, the final greyscale value refers to a greyscale value of a sub-pixel during a final display of a liquid crystal panel.

Here, in each frame, one of the first actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as the final greyscale value with respect to each one of the predetermined color sub-pixel of the first part, and one of the second actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as the final greyscale value with respect to each one of the predetermined color sub-pixel of the second part, that is, the predetermined color sub-pixels in the liquid crystal panel are divided into two parts, each predetermined color sub-pixel belonging to the first part is driven based on one of the actual greyscale values belonging to the first group in the n actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself, and each predetermined color sub-pixel belonging to the second part is driven based on one of the actual greyscale values belonging to the second group in the n actual greyscale values of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself.

As an example, when n=4 and n=2, m=2, that is, there are two index values, and according to equation (2), the actual greyscale values g_H respectively corresponding to the two index values are g_H1 and g_H2 respectively, the actual greyscale values g_L respectively corresponding to the two index values are g_L1 and g_L2 respectively, then a first group of actual greyscale values in the four actual greyscale values include actual greyscale values g_H1 and g_H2, and a second group of actual greyscale values in the four actual greyscale values include actual greyscale values g_L1 and g_L2.

Here, the four actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel in four consecutive frames of one unit are g_H1, g_H2, g_L1 and g_L2 respectively. When driving the liquid crystal panel to display each of the four consecutive frames, one of a first group of actual greyscale values g_H1 and g_H2 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as a final greyscale value with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel in the predetermined color sub-pixels of a first part, and one of a second group of actual greyscale values g_L1 and g_L2 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as a final greyscale value with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel in the predetermined color sub-pixels of a second part.

In an example, the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each one of the predetermined color sub-pixels of the first part may be the actual greyscale values g_H1, g_H2, g_L1 and g_L2 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself, and the final greyscale values in the four consecutive frames of each one of the predetermined color sub-pixels of the second part may be the actual greyscale values g_L1, g_L2, g_H1 and g_H2 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself.

The first part and second part may be any two different parts in the liquid crystal panel. In order to further improve the display effect of the liquid crystal panel, as a preferable example, the predetermined color sub-pixel of the first part may be the predetermined color sub-pixel in odd number column, and the predetermined color sub-pixel of the second part may be the predetermined color sub-pixel in even number column, as shown in FIG. 7.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a greyscale value of a part of the blue color sub-pixel in each frame when driving a liquid crystal panel by a unit of four consecutive frames according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As an example, FIG. 7 only shows 3 rows×2 columns of pixels in the liquid crystal panel, each pixel including an R sub-pixel (i.e. a red sub-pixel), a G sub-pixel (i.e. a green sub-pixel) and a B sub-pixel (i.e. a blue sub-pixel) respectively. Here, the blue sub-pixel will be taken as an example. The parentheses in each blue sub-pixel indicates a ginal greyscale value of the blue sub-pixel at corresponding position. As shown in FIG. 7, the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in the first column are the actual greyscale values g_H1, g_H2, g_L1 and g_L2 of the blue sub-pixel itself, and the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in the second column are the actual greyscale values g_L1, g_L2, g_H1 and g_H2 of the blue sub-pixel itself.

As another preferred embodiment, the predetermined color sub-pixel of the first part is the predetermined color sub-pixel of which a sum of a row number and a column number is an even number, and the predetermined color sub-pixel of the second part is the predetermined color sub-pixel of which a sum of a row number and a column number is an odd number, as shown in FIG. 8.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a greyscale value of a part of the blue color sub-pixel in each frame when driving a liquid crystal panel by a unit of four consecutive frames according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The meanings of respective symbols in FIG. 8 are identical with those in FIG. 7, thus will not be described any more. As shown in FIG. 8, the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in [row 1, column 1], [row 2, column 2] and [row 3, column 1] are the actual greyscale values g_H1, g_H2, g_L1 and g_L2 of the blue sub-pixel itself, and the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in [row 1, column 2], [row 2, column 1] and [row 3, column 2] are the actual greyscale values g_L1, g_L2, g_H1 and g_H2 of the blue sub-pixel itself.

As another preferred example, the predetermined color sub-pixel of the first part is the predetermined color sub-pixel in odd number row, and the predetermined color sub-pixel of the second part is the predetermined color sub-pixel in even number row, as shown in FIG. 9.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a greyscale value of a part of the blue color sub-pixel in each frame when driving a liquid crystal panel by a unit of four consecutive frames according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The meanings of respective symbols in

FIG. 9 are identical with those in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, thus will not be described any more. As shown in FIG. 9, the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in the first row and the third row are the actual greyscale values g_H1, g_H2, g_L1 and g_L2 of the blue sub-pixel itself, and the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each blue sub-pixel in the second row are the actual greyscale values g_L1, g_L2, g_H1 and g_H2 of the blue sub-pixel itself.

It can be understood that, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are not only limited to the pixels 3 rows x 2 columns as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, but are also applicable in a scenario where there are larger number of pixels.

In another example, the final greyscale values in four consecutive frames of one unit of each one of the predetermined color sub-pixels of the first part can be g_H1, g_L1, g_L2 and g_H2 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself, and the final greyscale values in the four consecutive frames of each one of the predetermined color sub-pixels of the second part can be g_L2, g_H2, g_H1 and g_L1 of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself.

The first part and second part can be any two different parts in the liquid crystal panel. In order to further improve the display effect of the liquid crystal panel, the first part and the second part can be divided according to the aforementioned preferred example.

According to the driving method of the liquid crystal panel in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the liquid crystal panel displays each frame of picture, in each frame, one of a first group of actual greyscale values and of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as a final greyscale value with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel in the predetermined color sub-pixels of a first part, and one of a second group of actual greyscale values and of the predetermined color sub-pixel itself is driven as a final greyscale value with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel in the predetermined color sub-pixels of a second part, thereby preventing each frame of picture displayed by the liquid crystal panel from being too bright or too dark as a whole, thus solving the problem of flickering of the liquid crystal panel.

Furthermore, the display effect of the liquid crystal panel can be further improved by dividing the first part and the second part of the liquid crystal panel specifically.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating the driving apparatus of the liquid crystal panel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Here the driving device of the liquid crystal panel drives the predetermined color sub-pixel of the liquid crystal panel in a unit of n consecutive frames. Wherein, n is an integer larger than 1. It can be understood that, when displaying a video picture, the liquid crystal panel may consecutively display all the frames of the video picture in sequence. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the driving device drives each unit of n consecutive frames in sequence, and it can be understood that, a first frame in each unit is connected with an end frame of a previous unit.

As shown in FIG. 10, a driving device 100 of the liquid crystal panel according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an original greyscale value determining module 101, an actual greyscale value acquiring module 102 and a driving module 103.

the original greyscale value determining module 101 is used for determining an original greyscale value of each predetermined color sub-pixel respectively in n frames, so as to acquire n original greyscale values with respect to each predetermined color sub-pixel. Here, the original greyscale value is an initial greyscale value of a frame of picture displayed by the sub-pixel (for example, the greyscale value configured for the sub-pixel when driving the liquid crystal panel to display a frame of picture in the related art). In can be understood that, the original greyscale value determining module 101 may acquire n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel through various existing methods.

The actual greyscale value acquiring module 102 is configured to acquire n actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel according to at least one of n original greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel acquired by the original greyscale value determining module 101. Here, the actual greyscale value is the actual greyscale value of the sub-pixel for displaying a frame of picture. It can be understood that, the actual greyscale value acquiring module 102 can acquire the n actual greyscale values by using various existing methods.

Here, the n actual greyscale values include a first group of actual greyscale values and a second group of actual greyscale values. That is, the n actual greyscale values are divided into two groups.

Here, the actual greyscale value acquiring module 102 can acquire n actual greyscale values of each predetermined color sub-pixel in sequence.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating an actual greyscale value acquiring module according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 11, the actual greyscale value acquiring module 102 includes: an index value determination unit 201 and a table look-up unit 202.

an index value determining unit 201, for determining m index values according to at least one of n original greyscale values of any one predetermined color sub-pixel, m being an integer larger than 0. Here, the index values are the greyscale values for searching the display look-up table as mentioned below. A number of the index values may be determined according to n and the actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value in the aftermentioned display look-up table. In can be understood that, the index value determining unit 201 can be used to determine the m index values through various existing methods.

As an example, the index value determining unit 201 can take any m original greyscale values in the n original greyscale values as the m index values.

As another example, the index value determining unit 201 may include: a first grouping sub-unit and a first determining sub-unit.

The first grouping sub-unit is used for dividing said n original greyscale values into m groups. Here, the predetermined rule can be set by those skilled in the art according to design experiences.

The first determining sub-unit is used for determining an index value with respect to each one of the m groups divided by the first grouping sub-unit, so as to acquire the m index values. Here, the first determining sub-unit may determine the index value of each group through various methods.

Here, the first determining sub-unit can determine an index value with respect to each one of the m groups, so as to acquire the m index values.

In this case, the first determining sub-unit can take an average value of an original greyscale value in any one of the m groups as the one index value (that is, as an index value of the one group). Specifically speaking, a sum of the respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value, and the average value is taken as an index value.

In addition, the first determining sub-unit may further include: a first brightness value determining sub-unit, a first average value calculating sub-unit and a first correspondence determining sub-unit.

a first brightness value determining sub-unit, for determining a brightness value of the one predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in any one of the m groups. Here, the gamma curve is a curve indicating the relationship between the greyscale and brightness of the predetermined color sub-pixel, and the first brightness value determining sub-unit may acquire the gamma curve through various measuring methods. The gamma curve can be a normalized gamma curve, but is not limited thereto, and a gamma curve which has not been normalized can also be used.

The first average value calculating sub-unit is configured to calculate an average value of brightness values determined by the first brightness value determining sub-unit, that is, a sum of the brightness values of the one predetermined color sub-pixel when being at respective original greyscale values in the one group is calculated, which is then divided by a number of the original greyscale values in the one group to acquire the average value.

The actual brightness value acquiring sub-unit 301 is used for acquiring actual brightness values of the predetermined color sub-pixel respectively in a case of front viewing and in a case of obliquely viewing under the respective greyscale value within a greyscale value range of the liquid crystal panel. Here, front viewing refers to viewing the liquid crystal panel in parallel with a direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal panel. Obliquely viewing refers to viewing the liquid crystal panel from a place in a line so that the angle between the line and the direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal panel is about 60 degree. The value range of the greyscale value may vary along with the liquid crystal panel. When the liquid crystal panel is a 8-bit liquid crystal panel (that is, using a 8-bit binary number to indicate the greyscale value), the value range is [0, 255]; when the liquid crystal panel is a 10-bit liquid crystal panel (that is, using a 10-bit binary to indicate the greyscale value), the value range is [0, 1023].

Thus, two actual greyscale values g_H and g_L corresponding to each index value within the value range and meeting the equation (2) may be determined.

Here, a number of the actual greyscale values corresponding to each index value can be determined according to scenarios of application.

The creating sub-unit 304 is configured to acquire said display look-up table based on the correspondence relationship between each index value and actual greyscale value within the value range, which may be determined by the relationship determining sub-unit 303.
