In order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure or prior art, the drawings to be used in description of the embodiments or prior art will be briefly described in the following; it is obvious that the described drawings are only related to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Base on the drawings, those ordinarily skilled in the art can obtain other related drawings, without any inventive work.
Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of this disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments acquired by ordinary skilled person in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a touch display panel 01. As illustrated by
In addition, the touch display panel 01 further includes a common electrode 103 and a plurality of pixel electrodes 104 as illustrated by
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the abovementioned touch display panel can be an advanced-super dimensional switching (ADS) type liquid crystal touch display panel. In this case, the common electrode 103 and the pixel electrode 104 can both be manufactured on the array substrate 100. The pixel electrode 104 can include a plurality of strip-shaped sub-electrodes which are electrically connected and arranged at intervals.
Or, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the touch display panel can be a twist nematic (TN) type liquid crystal touch display panel. In this case, the common electrode 103 can be manufactured on the cell-assembling substrate 101, and the pixel electrode 104 can be manufactured on the array substrate 100.
In addition, the common electrode 101 includes a plurality of electrode blocks 110 which are disposed at intervals and insulated from each other. Each of the plurality of electrode blocks 110 covers Q×Q sub pixels, Q≥2, and Q is a positive integer. Because each of the sub pixels 20 includes one pixel electrode 104 therein, thus, one electrode block 110 in the common electrode 103 can cover Q×Q sub pixels 104.
In this case, the electrode block 110 serves as a touch electrode to form a self-capacitance with a ground terminal (GND). Upon a user's finger touching the touch display panel, a capacitance value of the self-capacitance formed between the electrode block 110 at the touched position and the ground terminal changes, so that the touched position of the user can be determined.
Based on the abovementioned structure of the touch display panel, in order to realize the synchronization of a touch operation and a display operation, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving method for a touch display panel 01, as illustrated by
S101: in a display period P, a sinusoidal signal y=A sin(ωt+φ) is provided to each of the plurality of electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 103. The sinusoidal signal y serves as a common voltage Vcom and a touch signal. The sinusoidal signal y can be a single-frequency signal or a multi-frequency signal.
The case where y is a single-frequency sinusoidal signal is taken as an example. In y=A sin(ωt+φ), A represents the amplitude of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y. The single-frequency sinusoidal signal y has a vibration period T=2 π/ω; ωt+φ is the phase. When t=0, the phase is the initial phase. It should be understood that, in practical products, due to circuit design, interference, and other factors, impure single-frequency signals may result, and y is similar to a multi-frequency signal. In addition, y can be a multi-frequency sinusoidal signal, and in some embodiments, a fixed frequency point is preferred, because the fixed frequency point has advantages in noise processing, spread spectrum processing, and the like. The following description will take the case where y is a single-frequency sinusoidal signal as an example, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In addition, as illustrated by
The refresh rate of the display period P is greater than or equal to a refresh rate threshold A. The refresh rate threshold A is the maximum refresh rate recognizable by human eyes. Generally, the maximum refresh rate recognizable by human eyes is 24 Hz. Therefore, the refresh rate of the display period P is greater than or equal to 24 Hz.
Therefore, in order to determine the amount N of display stages in a display period P and the amount M of image frames in each of the display stages, before the abovementioned step S101, the driving method for the touch display panel 01 further includes:
First, a refresh rate B of an image frame of the touch display panel 01 is acquired.
Then, according to the refresh rate of the display period, the amount N of the display stages in the display period P and the amount M of image frames in each of the display stages are determined.
For example, B=60 Hz, A=24 Hz, C=60 Hz/24 Hz=2.5. In this case, there are 3 (N=3) display stages in the display period P, which are respectively the display stage S1, the display stage S2, and the display stage S3, as illustrated by
In addition, it can be seen that, each of the display stages is less than or equal to one image frame. Hereinafter, the setting of the amount M of the image frames in each of the display stages will be explained by an example.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated by
In the display stage S2, the amount of image frames M=1, and the duration of the display stage S2 is 1/60s, which is shown in
In the display stage S3, the amount of image frames M=0.5, and the duration of the display stage S3 is 1/120s, which is shown in
Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated by
In the display stage S2, the amount of image frames M=1, and the duration of the display stage S2 is 1/60s, which is shown in
In the display stage S3, the amount of image frames M=1, and the duration of the display stage S3 is 1/60s, which is shown in
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the division of the display period P shown in
S102. Data signals Vdata are provided to the plurality of pixel electrodes 104.
The abovementioned data signals Vdata are configured to provide pixel voltages Vp to the plurality of pixel electrodes 104.
S103. An electric field formed by the plurality of pixel electrodes 104 and the common electrode 103 drives liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 102 to rotate.
That is, after the plurality of pixel electrodes 104 receive the abovementioned data signals Vdata and every electrode block 110 in the common electrode 103 receives the abovementioned single-frequency sinusoidal signal y=A sin(ωt+φ) as the common voltage Vcom, the electric field formed by the plurality of pixel electrodes 104 and the common electrode 103 can drive the liquid crystal molecules to rotate. In this case, the touch display panel 01 displays.
In the display period P, an average luminance value L1 of any sub pixel 20 in the touch display panel 01 is the same as a target luminance value L2 of the sub pixel 20 (as illustrated by
In order to obtain the target luminance value L2, before S101, the driving method for the touch display panel 01 further includes:
A center voltage Vh as illustrated by
In this case, upon the center voltage Vh being used as the voltage of the electrode block 110 in the sub pixel 20, the luminance value of the corresponding sub pixel 20 is used as the target luminance value L2 of the sub pixel 20.
To sum up, in the display period P, each of the electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 103 receives a single-frequency sinusoidal signal y=A sin(ωt+φ) as illustrated by
In addition, in the same image frame, the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y can also be used as a signal supplied to the common electrode 103 during display, that is, the common voltage Vcom supplied to the common electrode 103. Specifically, as illustrated by
In addition, due to the action of leakage current of the transistor, the pixel voltage Vp will decrease, but after the transistor is turned off, the pixel voltage Vp can maintain the voltage when the transistor is turned off during the one image frame. After the common electrode 103 receives the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y, the touch display panel 01 can display under the action of the electric field generated between the common electrode 103 and the pixel electrodes 104.
Based on this, during a display process of the touch display panel 01, the average luminance value L1 of any sub pixel 20 in the touch display panel 01 is the same as the target luminance L2 of the sub pixel 20 in a display period P, and the refresh rate of the display period P is greater than or equal to the maximum refresh rate recognizable by human eyes, for example, 24 Hz. Therefore, even if the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y received on the common electrode 103 is not a constant DC voltage during the display process, the human eyes cannot effectively capture the display change caused by the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y, so that normal image display can be realized.
In this way, within one image frame, touch signals and display signals are simultaneously provided to the touch display panel 01, so that the touch display panel 01 can achieve both touch operation and image display. Therefore, the problem that the charging time of one row of sub pixels 20 in the touch display screen 01 is insufficient when the touch signals and the display signals are output in a time-dividing manner can be solved.
It can be seen that, after the transistor electrically connected to the pixel electrode 104 is turned off, the pixel voltage Vp charged in the pixel electrode 104 can maintain the voltage when the transistor is turned off within the one image frame. Therefore, before S101, the voltage on the pixel electrode 104 upon the pixel electrode 104 being charged at the timing that the transistor connected with the pixel electrode is turned off is set as the pixel voltage Vp. Therefore, the pixel voltage Vp is a constant value in the driving process, and the luminance average value of any sub pixel in the touch display panel acquired through the driving process is more accurate.
In addition, it can be seen that, upon the frequency of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal f=1/T=1/(2π/ω) is determined, the sinusoidal function y=A sin(ωt+φ) corresponding to the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y and its waveform can be acquired.
A process for determining the frequency f of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y is described in the following. As illustrated by
S201. According to the refresh rate B of the image frame, a refresh time t of the image frame is acquired.
For example, B=60 Hz, and the refresh time of the image frame t= 1/60 Hz=0.01667 s.
S202. According to the refresh time t of the image frame, the sinusoidal function y=A sin(ωt+φ), and the central voltage Vh, a voltage difference ΔV1 between the pixel voltage Vp and the common voltage Vcom in each of the image frames of each display stage P is acquired.
Herein, upon the pixel voltage Vp being positive in one image frame in the display stage P, the abovementioned voltage difference is:
ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+t×j)+φ);
Upon the pixel voltage Vp being negative in one image frame in the display stage P, the abovementioned voltage difference is:
ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|+A sin(ω(t0+t×j)+φ).
Where t0 is a starting time of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal, and t0≥0; t×j is a time of one image frame in one display stage P within the display period P; 0≤j≤C.
For example, upon a ratio of refresh rate B to refresh rate threshold A is C=60 Hz/24 Hz=2.5, 0≤j≤2.5.
The division of the display period P in
The image frame in the display stage S2 is the second frame in the display period P, in this case, t×j=0.03334 s, and because t=0.01667 s, j=2.
The image frame in the display stage S3 is the 2.5th frame in the display period P, in this case, t×j=0.04168 s, and because t=0.01667 s, j=2.5.
It should be noted that, in order to avoid liquid crystal aging, the pixel voltage Vp supplied to the pixel electrode 104 usually needs to be reversed in polarity. For example, in odd frames, upon the pixel voltage Vp supplied to the pixel electrode 104 being positive; in even frames, the pixel voltage Vp supplied to the pixel electrode 104 is negative. On the contrary, it is available in the same way, so the repeated portions will be omitted herein.
In the case where the display period P includes three display stages S1, S2, and S3 as illustrated by
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the image frame in the display stage S1 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, and in this case, ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|+A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2)+φ).
The image frame in the display stage S2 is an even frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|+A sin (ω(t0+0.01667×2)+φ).
The image frame in the display stage S3 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2.5)+φ).
Or, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the image frame in the display stage S1 is an even frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, in which case, ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2)+φ).
The image frame in the display stage S2 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, in this case, ΔV1=|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2)+φ).
The image frame in the display stage S3 is an even frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, ΔV1=| Vp−Vh|+A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2.5)+φ).
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the case where the image frame in display stage S1 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, the image frame in display stage S2 is an even frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, and the image frame in display stage S3 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image, is taken as an example for description.
In addition, upon the input of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y being synchronized with the gate line progressive scanning, the initial phase co in the sinusoidal function y=A sin(ωt+φ) can be set to zero before the S201.
S203. According to the voltage difference ΔV1 between the pixel voltage Vp and the common voltage Vcom in each of the image frames of each of the display stages (S1, S2, and S3) in a display period P, the average luminance L1 of any sub pixel 20 of the touch display panel 01 in the abovementioned display period P is acquired.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the abovementioned S203 includes:
First, in each of the image frames of each display stage P, according to the abovementioned voltage difference ΔV1, the luminance value of any sub pixel 20 of the touch display panel 01 in the abovementioned display stage P is acquired. For example, in the display stage P, the luminance value of a sub pixel 20 in the display stage S1 as the first frame is Lv1a; the luminance value of the sub pixel 20 in the display stage S2 as the second frame is Lv1b; and the luminance value of the sub pixel 20 in the display stage S2 as the 2.5th frame is Lv1c.
In order to obtain the luminance values Lv1a, Lv1b, and Lv1c of the sub pixel 20 in the display stages in the display period P, a function L=H(V) of the abovementioned voltage difference ΔV1 and the luminance value of the sub pixel can be acquired by using the electro-optical characteristic curve of the touch display panel 01, i.e., the V-T curve, in each display stage P.
Because the electro-optic characteristic curves, i.e., V-T curves, of different touch display panels 01 are different, the present disclosure does not limit the function L=H(V) of the abovementioned voltage difference ΔV1 and the sub pixel luminance value.
Then, according to the function L=H(V), the luminance value of any sub pixel in the touch display panel 01 in the display stage P is calculated.
For example, the image frame in the display stage S1 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, the luminance value Lv1a of the sub pixel 20 in the display stage S1 as the first frame is Lv1a=H(|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+0.01667)+φ)).
The image frame in the display stage S1 is an even frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, the luminance value Lv1b of the sub pixel 20 in the display stage S1 as the first frame is Lv1b=H(|Vp−Vh|+A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2)+φ)).
The image frame in the display stage S3 is an odd frame when the touch display panel 01 displays an image. In this case, the luminance value Lyle of the sub pixel in the display stage S1 as the first frame is Lv1c=H(|Vp−Vh|−A sin(ω(t0+0.01667×2.5)+φ)).
Then, the luminance values (Lv1a, Lv1b, and Lv1c) of every image frame in the display stages in the display period P are weighted and averaged, and the luminance average L1 in the display period is acquired.
That is, L1=(Lv1a×0.01667+Lv1b×0.01667+Lv1c×0.01667×0.5) (0.01667×0.5).
S204. A voltage difference ΔV2 between the pixel voltage Vp and the center voltage Vh in the display period P is acquired, and a target luminance value L2 of any sub pixel in the touch display panel 01 in the display period P is acquired according to the voltage difference ΔV2.
Specifically, the function L2=H(V) of the luminance value of the sub pixel and the abovementioned voltage difference ΔV2 are acquired by using the electro-optical characteristic curve of the touch display panel 01, i.e., the V-T curve.
S205. According to L1=L2, a frequency set of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y is calculated.
That is, according to a plurality of L1 acquired from the above steps S201-S203, a plurality of values satisfying L1=L2 are selected to form the frequency set.
S206. At least one value from the frequency set is selected as the frequency f of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y.
Specifically, the above S206 can include: firstly, according to the resolution of the touch display panel 01, a scanning period Ta of each row of sub pixels 20 is acquired.
The scanning period Ta satisfies a formula: Ta=1/(B×S). For example, the refresh rate B of the image frame of the touch display panel 01 can be 60 Hz. In addition, S is an amount of gate lines for receiving gate scanning signals in an active area (AA) of the touch display panel 01. For example, S=1920. In this case, the scanning period Ta=1/(60×1920).
In addition, the frequency f of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y can satisfy a formula f=kT/2, and k>0, k is an integer.
In this way, at least one available frequency f can be selected from the above frequency set, and upon the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y of this frequency being used as the touch signal, the influence on the display in the touch process can be further avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of the frequency of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y as finally acquired.
In addition, upon the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y being used as the touch signal, the influence on image display is summarized, and the summary result is shown in
The regional block {circle around (1)} indicates that all of the multiple single-frequency sinusoidal signals y with peak-to-peak values and frequencies corresponding to the regional block {circle around (1)} will affect the image display.
The regional block {circle around (2)} indicates that, among the multiple single-frequency sinusoidal signals y with peak-to-peak values and frequencies corresponding to the regional block {circle around (2)}, there is a single-frequency sinusoidal signal y that will not affect the image display.
The regional block {circle around (3)} indicates that, all of the multiple single-frequency sinusoidal signals y with peak-to-peak values and frequencies corresponding to the regional block {circle around (3)} will not affect the image display.
In this way, the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y acquired according to the above driving method can be verified by the above test results.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer readable medium storing a computer program, upon the computer program being executed by a processor, any one of the abovementioned driving methods can be implemented.
An embodiment of the disclosure provides a touch display device, as illustrated by
The memory 02 stores a computer program that can be executed by the processor 03. Upon the processor 03 executing the computer program, any one of the abovementioned driving methods can be implemented. The abovementioned touch display device has the same technical effect as the driving method for the touch display panel provided in the previous embodiment, and the repeated portions are omitted herein.
It should be noted that the memory 02 includes various media which can store program codes, such as ROM, RAM, magnetic disk, or optical disk.
In addition, as illustrated by
The driving circuit 30 includes a sinusoidal signal driving sub-circuit 301 and a source driving sub-circuit 302.
Herein, the sinusoidal signal driving sub-circuit 301 is electrically connected with the plurality of electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 103. The sinusoidal signal driving sub-circuit 301 is configured to provide the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y as the common voltage Vcom to each of the electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 103.
The source driving sub-circuit 302 is electrically connected to the plurality of pixel electrodes 104 in the sub pixels 20 in the touch display panel 01, and is configured to provide the above data signals Vdata to the plurality of pixel electrodes 104 as the pixel voltage Vp.
In addition, as illustrated by
In this case, the gate driving sub-circuit 303 scans the gate lines GL line by line, thereby turning on the plurality of sub pixels 20 line by line. The turned-on sub pixel 20 receives the data signal Vdata provided by the source driving sub-circuit 302. This data signal Vdata is supplied to the pixel electrode of the sub pixel 20 as a pixel voltage Vp.
In addition, each of the electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 104 receives the abovementioned single-frequency sinusoidal signal y. The single-frequency sinusoidal signal y can be used as a common voltage Vcom, so that the common electrode 104 and the pixel electrode 104 in the turned-on sub pixel 20 generate an electric field, and drive the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 102 to rotate, thereby achieving display.
Meanwhile, the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y provided to each of the electrode blocks 110 in the common electrode 104 can be used as a touch signal, so that a self-capacitance is formed between the electrode block 110 and the ground terminal. Upon the user performing a touch operation, the capacitance value of the self-capacitance changes, thus determining the position of the touch operation. In addition, it can be seen that the driving method for the touch display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the influence of the single-frequency sinusoidal signal y as the touch signal on the image display, so that the touch process and the display process can be synchronized.
