The present disclosure relates to a display technical field, and in particular to a driving method of a display panel and a display device comprising such liquid crystal display panel.
Display panel, in particular to the liquid crystal display panel based on TFT-LCD is more commonly used in electronic device. Along with TFT-LCD technology matures, the cost competitiveness of TFT-LCD is increasingly higher, namely, the TV market applied TFT-LCD has been found the liquid crystal display panel with the Dual-gate/Tri-gate structure, which can reduce the amount of channels of the source integrated circuit, thereby reducing the costs. However, the inherent disadvantage of such Dual-gate/Tri-gate structure is: greatly reducing the charging time of the TFT-LCD, and the increase of the charging time is more obvious along with the clarity of the liquid crystal display panel.
In the Dual-gate structure, in order to avoid flicker too severe and typically using two line inversion driving mode, however, when the polarity of the data voltage provided by the source line is changed, the change value of the pixel voltage is larger, when the RC delay (the delay phenomenon of the voltage change caused by the resistor and capacitor charging for the voltage change) of internal cell is serious, the part of the sub-pixel will be charged insufficiently thus resulting the darkness of screen.
In order to solve the dim brightness as above description, generally adopting copper material for wire on array, WOA, traces and/or widening the WOA traces to reduce the cell impedance, reducing the extent of delay RC, increasing the charging efficiency. However, adopting cooper material for WOA traces needs TFT-LCD manufacturing process, and the transformation of such manufacturing process and the issues relating to the manufacturing process will generate significant costs, resulting the higher product cost, if widening the WOA traces, the area of the display region of the panel will be decreased, reducing the aperture ratio, the brightness of the backlight needs to be increased to improve the brightness of the backlight, the product cost still becomes higher.
