The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly relates to a driving method of display panel and a display device.
Large size liquid crystal display panels are mostly configured in vertical alignment (VA) type or in coplanar switching (IPS) type. Compared with IPS liquid crystal technology, VA type liquid crystal technology has the advantages of high production efficiency and low manufacturing cost, and also has the obvious defects in optical properties, such as color shift when large viewing angle images are presented.
When displaying an image, the brightness of a pixel should ideally change linearly with the voltage change, so that the driving voltage of the pixel can accurately represent the gray scale of the pixel and be reflected by the brightness. As shown in
The traditional way to improve color shift is to subdivide each sub-pixel into a main pixel and a subpixel, then the main pixel is driven with a relatively high driving voltage and the subpixel is driven with a relatively low driving voltage. One sub-pixel are displayed by the main pixel and the subpixel together. The relatively high driving voltage and the relatively low driving voltage can maintain a constant relationship between brightness and corresponding gray scale at the front viewing angle when driving the main pixel and the subpixel. Generally, in the first half of the gray scale, the main pixel is driven and displayed with a relatively high driving voltage and the subpixel does not display in the manner shown in

Referring to
With the inversion of the driving signal, the common electrode voltage is also switched with the polarity of the driving reversal frame to switch the periodic voltage, that is, the common electrode voltage Vcom1 becomes the positive driving voltage, and the common electrode voltage positive polarity is the common electrode voltage Vcom1 Relative to the original common electrode voltage Vcom is large, that is, Vcom1>Vcom. The common electrode voltage Vcom2 becomes a negative polarity driving voltage, and the common electrode voltage negative polarity, that is, the common electrode voltage Vcom2 is smaller than the original common electrode voltage Vcom, that is, Vcom2<Vcom, and the high voltage sub-pixels VGd_1, VGd_3, VGd_5 and the low voltage. The sub-pixels VGd_2, VGd_4, and VGd_6 are negative driving voltages.
Step S40, if the inverted first preset voltage is a positive polarity driving voltage and the inverted second preset voltage is a negative polarity driving voltage, driving the high voltage sub-pixels of the first row with a negative polarity and driving the low voltage sub-pixels of the first row with a positive polarity, and driving the high voltage sub-pixels of the second row with a positive polarity and driving the low voltage sub-pixels of the second row with a negative polarity, the inverted first preset voltage is larger than the reference voltage and the inverted second preset voltage is less than the reference voltage.
As shown in
According to the embodiment, the common electrode voltage adopts a positive and negative polarity timing switching driving mode relative to the original common electrode, the common electrode voltage adopts a driving arrangement of alternating positive and negative polarities according to the row direction, and a driving mode of column inversion is adopted for driving with the same column of sub-pixel driving, so that the frequent driving of data driving lines is reduced, the work of the driving chip is reduced, the power consumption of the driving chip and the temperature rise risk of the driving chip are reduced, the high-voltage pixel unit and the low-voltage pixel unit are alternately arranged and driven, and the problem of viewing angle color deviation is solved.
Further, before step S30, the method further includes:
selecting two adjacent sub-pixels in the same row, driving a high voltage sub-pixel and a low voltage sub-pixel in the selected sub-pixels by the same positive polarity driving voltage.
It should be noted that when the data driving signal is positive driving, two pixels adjacent to the same column are connected to the same data driving signal for driving, thus realizing the sharing of driving signals, reducing the operation of the driving chip, reducing the power consumption of the driving chip and the risk of temperature rise of the driving chip.
Further, before the step S30, the method further includes:

It should be noted that the VGd_1 and VGd_2 equivalent voltages share the positive polarity driving voltage Vgd=V1 driving and the negative polarity driving voltage Vgd=V1′ driving, and the positive polarity driving voltage Vdg1 and the positive polarity driving voltage Vdg2 may preferably be the original frame pixels. The average signal of the signals Gd1 and Gd2 (0 to 255 signals in the case of 8-bit driving signals), that is, G1=(Gd1+Gd2)/2, the positive driving voltage V1 and the negative driving voltage V1′ corresponding to the G1 signal.

Further, the periodically inverting the first preset voltage and the second preset voltage when the data drive signal input by the received data drive circuit is inverted includes:
acquiring an inversion signal, and respectively selecting sub-pixels in the same column to be driven in a column inversion mode according to the inversion signal.
