Detailed Description
The present application will be described in further detail with reference to the following drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant application and are not limiting of the application. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only the portions related to the present application are shown in the drawings.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a gray scale compensation circuit provided in the present application is shown.
The gray scale compensation circuit is applied to an organic light emitting display panel, and the organic light emitting display panel comprises an organic light emitting diode array which can be divided into a plurality of sub-arrays.
As shown in fig. 1, the gray scale compensation circuit 100 includes a signal acquisition unit 11, a voltage compensation unit 12, and a gray scale generation unit 13.
The signal acquisition unit 11 includes a plurality of input terminals 111, wherein each input terminal 111 is electrically connected to the organic light emitting diode in one of the sub-arrays. The signal collecting unit 11 is configured to collect light emitting current signals of the organic light emitting diodes in one sub-array of the organic light emitting diode array, and convert the light emitting current signals into data voltage signals corresponding to each of the light emitting current signals. In this embodiment, the display gray scales of the organic light emitting diodes in any one sub-array are the same. The signal collecting unit 11 may collect a light emitting current signal of one organic light emitting diode in the same sub-array, or collect a plurality of light emitting current signals corresponding to a plurality of different organic light emitting diodes in the same sub-array. The embodiment can perform gray scale compensation on the display gray scale of the organic light emitting diode by collecting the current value of the organic light emitting diode, and avoid the increase of measurement errors caused by directly detecting the brightness and color coordinates of a gray scale white picture, thereby improving the detection precision.
In this embodiment, the voltage compensation unit 12 is electrically connected to the signal acquisition unit 11. The voltage compensation unit 12 stores a plurality of gray scale-voltage data tables determined by testing in advance, and the gray scale-voltage data tables record the corresponding relationship between the gray scale values and the target voltage values, that is, the target voltage values to which the data voltages provided to the organic light emitting diodes are to reach at a certain gray scale value. Wherein different frames of display frames correspond to different gray scale-voltage data tables. When gray scale compensation is carried out on the light-emitting display panel, a gray scale-voltage data table which needs to be referred to can be determined according to a selected certain frame picture.
In this embodiment, the voltage compensation unit 12 compares the data voltage signal 12 provided by the signal acquisition unit 11 with a target voltage value in a pre-stored gray scale-voltage data table, which is the same as the acquired display gray scale of the organic light emitting diode, based on the data voltage signal transmitted by the signal acquisition unit 11, and simultaneously provides the compared difference voltage as a compensation voltage to the gray scale generation unit 13.
The input terminal of the gray scale generating unit 13 is electrically connected to the voltage compensating unit 12. The gray scale generating unit 13 generates a voltage value corresponding to a gray scale value of the organic light emitting diode based on the compensation voltage supplied from the voltage compensating unit 12 and supplies the voltage value to the pixel circuit of the organic light emitting display panel.
The gray scale compensation circuit converts the collected light-emitting current signals of the organic light-emitting diode into the data voltage signals by arranging the signal collection unit 11, the voltage compensation unit 12 and the gray scale generation unit 13, compares the voltage value of the data voltage signals with the target voltage value, and provides the compared voltage difference to the gray scale generation unit, so that the display gray scale of the organic light-emitting diode is compensated based on the light-emitting current signals of the organic light-emitting diode, and the compensation precision of the organic light-emitting diode is improved.
Please refer to fig. 2, which illustrates an application scenario diagram corresponding to the embodiment shown in fig. 1 provided in the present application.
In the application scenario as shown in fig. 2, the display panel 200 includes an organic light emitting diode array divided into sub-arrays 1-16, and the organic light emitting diodes in each sub-array 1-16 have the same display gray scale.
In the application scenario shown in fig. 2, the display gray scales of any two sub-arrays are different. Each sub-array has an organic light emitting diode electrically connected to the signal collecting unit 21, and the signal collecting unit 21 converts the collected light emitting current signal of each organic light emitting diode into a data voltage signal. In the process of collecting the light emitting current signals of the organic light emitting diodes in each sub-array 1-16, time division multiplexing collection can be adopted. For example, when collecting the light emitting current signal of the organic light emitting diode in the 4 th sub-array, the paths of the organic light emitting diodes electrically connected to the other organic light emitting diodes may be turned off, and thus, the number of signal transmission lines disposed on the display panel 200 may be reduced. The signal collecting unit 21 provides the converted data voltage signal to the voltage compensating unit 22, the voltage compensating unit 22 provides the determined compensating voltage of each organic light emitting diode to the gray scale generating unit 23, and the gray scale generating unit 23 generates a voltage value corresponding to the gray scale value of the organic light emitting diode and provides the voltage value to the pixel circuit of the organic light emitting display panel.

The present embodiment further describes the structures of the signal acquisition unit 31 and the voltage compensation unit 32.
In this embodiment, the data storage unit 34 is connected between the signal acquisition unit 31 and the grayscale generation unit 32. The data storage unit stores the data voltage acquired by the signal acquisition unit 31.
In this embodiment, the signal acquisition unit 31 further includes a switch module 311, a current-voltage conversion module 312, and an analog-to-digital conversion module 313. The switch module 311 includes a plurality of input terminals, an output terminal, and a control terminal, wherein the input terminals of the switch module 311 are connected to the input terminals of the signal acquisition unit 31 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and the switch module 311 is configured to control electrical connection between each organic light emitting diode and the signal acquisition unit 31 during a light emitting current signal acquisition period, so as to realize time-sharing acquisition of light emitting current of each organic light emitting diode. Therefore, signal transmission lines on the display panel can be saved, and meanwhile, the efficiency of collecting the luminous current of each organic light emitting diode can be improved. In this embodiment, the control terminal of the switch module 311 is electrically connected to the timing control logic unit 35, and under the control of the timing control logic unit 35, the switches in the switch module 311 are respectively turned on or off, and the current of the organic light emitting diodes in each sub-array is provided to the output terminal of the switch module 311 in a time-sharing manner. Here, the switch module may include a plurality of switches, each of which is connected between one organic light emitting diode and the circuit-voltage converting module 312, and each of the switches may be a MOS transistor, a bipolar transistor, or another electronic device having a switching function, which is not limited herein. When the switch is a MOS transistor, a gate of the MOS transistor may be connected to the timing control logic unit 35.
In this embodiment, the current-voltage conversion module 312 includes an input terminal and an output terminal, and the output terminal of the switch module 311 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the current-voltage conversion module 312. The current-voltage conversion module 312 is used for converting the received light emitting current value of each organic light emitting diode into a voltage value.
As shown in fig. 4, a schematic diagram of the current-voltage conversion module 312 is shown. The current-voltage conversion module 312 includes a resistor R and an integrated operational amplifier a, wherein the integrated operational amplifier a and the resistor R form a voltage parallel negative feedback circuit, a reverse input Vi of the integrated operational amplifier a is electrically connected to an input of the current-voltage conversion module 312, the reverse input Vi is configured to receive the collected light-emitting current signal, a forward input of the integrated operational amplifier a is configured to receive a reference voltage signal Vref, the reference voltage signal is generally a reference ground potential signal, an output out of the integrated operational amplifier a is electrically connected to an output of the current-voltage conversion module 312, the integrated operational amplifier a is configured to convert the received light-emitting current signal I into a voltage signal Vout, and provide the voltage signal Vout-I R to the output out.
In this embodiment, since the voltage signal output from the current-voltage conversion module 312 is an analog voltage signal, in order to facilitate the control and transmission of the signal, the voltage signal output from the current-voltage conversion module 312 is further provided to the analog-to-digital conversion module 313, and the analog voltage signal is converted into a data voltage signal by the analog-to-digital conversion module 313, and the data voltage signal is stored in the data storage unit.
In this embodiment, the voltage compensation unit 32 further includes a difference voltage processing module 321. The input terminal of the aforementioned difference voltage processing module 321 is electrically connected to the data storage unit 34, and the output terminal of the difference voltage processing module 321 is connected to the gray scale generating unit 33. The difference voltage processing module 321 is configured to obtain a data voltage signal of each oled from the data storage unit 34, compare the data voltage signal with a target voltage value in the same gray scale in the gray scale-voltage data table, and provide the compared difference voltage as a compensation voltage to the gray scale generating unit.
Since the positions of the organic light emitting diodes on the display panel are different, the lengths of the signal transmission lines for connecting the signal collecting unit 31 and the organic light emitting diodes are different, resulting in different resistance values generated by the signal transmission lines. Therefore, the attenuation degrees of the light-emitting current signals collected from the sub-arrays on the signal transmission line are different, that is, if the organic light-emitting diodes at different positions on the display panel obtain the same gray scale brightness, the gray scale voltage values for generating the display gray scale are not necessarily the same. Therefore, in some optional implementations of this embodiment, the gray scale-voltage data table may further store the collected position information of each organic light emitting diode in the display panel, and the target voltage values of the organic light emitting diodes located at different positions under the same display gray scale. The difference voltage processing module 321 may be further configured to compare the received data voltage signal corresponding to each organic light emitting diode in the same display gray scale with a target voltage value of the corresponding organic light emitting diode, and provide the compared difference voltage to the gray scale generating unit.
The gray scale-voltage data table can reduce the influence of the length difference of each signal transmission line on the display gray scale of the organic light emitting diode by increasing and recording the acquired positions of the organic light emitting diodes in the display panel and the target voltage values of the organic light emitting diodes at different positions under the same display gray scale, thereby further improving the gray scale compensation precision of each organic light emitting diode and further improving the display effect of the display panel.

In this embodiment, the signal collecting unit 51 may be electrically connected to the plurality of organic light emitting diodes in each sub-array, that is, for the same sub-array, collect the light emitting current signals of the plurality of organic light emitting diodes. The light emitting current signal passes through the circuit-voltage conversion module 512 and the analog-to-digital conversion module 513, and is converted into a data voltage signal and stored in the data storage unit 54. That is, the data voltage signals of a plurality of organic light emitting diodes having the same display gray scale are stored in the data storage unit 54. The data determining module 522 may perform an average calculation on the data voltage signals of the same gray scales, and transmit the calculated average data voltage signal to the delta voltage processing module 521.
In this embodiment, the organic light emitting diodes in the same sub-array have different light emitting current values under the same display gray scale due to individual differences caused by their own structural processes, and in this embodiment, the differences can be averaged by collecting light emitting current signals of the plurality of organic light emitting diodes in the sub-array, thereby improving the precision of the gray scale voltage.

The voltage compensation unit 62 includes a data determination module 622 and a difference voltage processing module 621. The data determining module 622 performs average value calculation on the data voltage signals of the organic light emitting diodes having the same display gray scale in the data storage unit 64, and provides the calculated average data voltage signals to the difference voltage processing module 621, and the difference voltage processing module 621 compares each average data voltage signal with a target voltage value at the same display gray scale in a preset gray scale-voltage compensation table, and generates a difference voltage according to the comparison result and provides the difference voltage to the gray scale generating unit 63. The gray scale generating unit 63 generates a voltage value corresponding to a gray scale value of the organic light emitting diode and supplies it to the pixel circuit of the organic light emitting display panel. In the application scenario shown in fig. 6, the compensation accuracy of the gray scale voltage can be further improved by collecting a plurality of organic light emitting diodes with the same display gray scale at different positions.
