An embodiment of the present application provides a LCD device, the LCD device includes: a backlight source and a display panel disposed on the backlight source, the backlight source includes multiple backlight partitions arranged in rows, each of the backlight partitions is correspondingly provided with a light-emitting diode array, and the LCD device further includes a timer control register electrically connected to the backlight source and the display panel; wherein one display frame of the display panel corresponds to multiple scan cycles of the backlight source, the light-emitting diode array of an arbitrary one of the backlight partitions in the scan cycles has a first brightness and a second brightness under controlling of the timer control register, the light-emitting diode array of at least one of the backlight partitions has the first brightness in each of the scan cycles, and the first brightness is lower than the second brightness.
In this embodiment, the display panel 20 is disposed on the backlight source 10, and specifically includes an array substrate, a color filter substrate and a liquid crystal layer encapsulated between the array substrate and the color filter substrate. It is to be described that the color filter substrate does not necessarily include a color filter (CF), and the color filter may further be directly disposed on the array substrate.
In this embodiment, the timer control register (T-CON) is electrically connected to the display panel 20. Specifically, the LCD device further includes, for example, a system on a chip (SOC), and the SOC is mainly used to receive a video signal, and then process the video signal to obtain a display signal of the display panel 20. The timer control register drives the display panel 20 according to the display signal sent from the SOC, thereby implementing the frame display.
In this embodiment, the timer control register has, for example, a first control mode and a second control mode. For example, the first control mode corresponds to a mode when the display panel 20 displays a normal frame, and the second control mode corresponds to a mode when the display panel 20 displays dynamic frames. When the display panel 20 displays the dynamic frames, the timer control register can receive a mode switch instruction and switch the mode from the first control mode to the second control mode, and the mode switch instruction may be sent through a switch button activated by a user, and may also be sent through a detection module capable of automatically detecting a display frame.
In this embodiment, when the display panel 20 displays the normal frame, the light-emitting diode array in the multiple backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10 has a standard brightness value. When the display panel 20 displays the dynamic frames, the timer control register in the LCD device can be switched to the second control mode to eliminate the tailing and after-image phenomena present in the conventional LCD device by regulating the light-emitting mechanism of the backlight source 10, wherein the second control mode corresponds to a motion estimate and motion compensation (MEMC) mode of the LCD device.
Specifically, the timer control register is still electrically connected to the backlight source 10 to control the light-emitting mode of the light-emitting diode array in the backlight source 10. In addition, the timer control register adopts the frequency doubling technology of over driving by adjusting the light-emitting time of the light-emitting diode array in the backlight source 10 in a row-by-row manner, so that the display panel 20 can display the dynamic frames better. In the frequency doubling technology, the refresh frequency of the backlight source 10 is an integer multiple of the refresh frequency of the display frame. That is, one display frame of the display panel 20 corresponds to multiple scan cycles of the backlight source 10. For example, in the frequency doubling technology, one display frame of the display panel 20 corresponds to two scan cycles of the backlight source 10. In the frequency quadrupling technology, one display frame of the display panel 20 corresponds to four scan cycles of the backlight source 10. The display panel 20 has a refresh frequency of 120 HZ, for example. Correspondingly, in the frequency doubling technology, the backlight source 10 has a refresh frequency of 240 HZ. In the frequency quadrupling technology, the backlight source 10 has a refresh frequency of 480 HZ.
In this embodiment, one display frame of the display panel 20 corresponds to two or four scan cycles T2 of the backlight source 10.
In the following, detailed descriptions are made according to an example, in which one display frame of the display panel 20 corresponding to four scan cycles T2 in the backlight source 10.
In this embodiment, the timer control register controls the light-emitting diode array of at least one backlight partition 100 to have the second brightness 40 in at least two scan cycles T2 of the four scan cycles T2.
The four scan cycles T2 are respectively a first scan cycle, a second scan cycle, a third scan cycle and a fourth scan cycle, which proceed in sequence and have the same corresponding time period.
In the first scan cycle or the third scan cycle, the timer control register controls all of the light-emitting diode arrays of the backlight partitions 100 to have the first brightness 30.
In the second scan cycle or the fourth scan cycle, the timer control register controls the light-emitting diode array of a portion of the backlight partitions 100 to have the first brightness 30, and controls the light-emitting diode array of the other backlight partitions 100 to have the second brightness 40. In addition, the backlight partitions 100, where the light-emitting diode arrays having the first brightness 30 are located in the second scan cycle, are different from the backlight partitions 100, where the light-emitting diode arrays having the first brightness 30 are located in the fourth scan cycle. The backlight partition 100, where the light-emitting diode array has the first brightness 30 is located in the second scan cycle, and the backlight partitions 100, where the light-emitting diode arrays having the first brightness 30 are located in the fourth scan cycle, constitute all the backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10.

In the first scan cycle, the light-emitting diode arrays of all of the backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10 are in the OFF state. That is, the whole backlight source 10 is in the black insertion mode. In the second scan cycle, the light-emitting diode arrays of the top half of the backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10 are in the OFF state, and the light-emitting diode arrays of the bottom half of the backlight partitions 100 are in the ON (turned on) state. That is, the top half of the backlight source 10 is in the black insertion mode and the bottom half of the backlight source 10 is in the standard brightness mode. In the third scan cycle, the light-emitting diode arrays of all of the backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10 are in the OFF state. That is, the whole backlight source 10 is in the black insertion mode. In the fourth scan cycle, the light-emitting diode arrays of the bottom half of the backlight partitions 100 of the backlight source 10 are in the OFF state, and the light-emitting diode arrays of the top half of the backlight partitions 100 are in the ON state. That is, the bottom half of the backlight source 10 is in the black insertion mode, and the top half of the backlight source 10 is in the standard brightness mode. It is to be described that the half of the backlight partition 100 may include several backlight partitions 100.
In the LCD device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the timer control register controls the black insertion mode of the backlight partitions in different scan cycles in the frequency multiplying state, so that when the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal panel are flipping, the light-emitting diode arrays in at least a partial area do not perform the charge/discharge operation, so that the user cannot clearly see the visual flip caused by the liquid crystal flipping, the visual blur is reduced, and the tailing and after-image phenomena are eliminated.
The timer control register has a first control mode corresponding to the first display mode, and a second control mode corresponding to the second display mode.
