Freesync is a Display frequency conversion technology, and is a technology for implementing a dynamic refresh rate by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, inc., ultrawile semiconductor corporation) using industry standards such as Display Port (DP, a Display Port), adaptive synchronization, and the like. The dynamic refresh rate minimizes input delay and reduces or completely eliminates the problems of churning and tearing during game play and video play by synchronizing the refresh rate of a compatible display with the frame rate of a user's graphics card.
One frame of the display screen is divided into an Active area of display time and a Blank area of pause time before entering the next frame, and assuming that an FHD (48 Hz-240 Hz) display screen is taken as an example, the resolution is 1920 x 1080, the 1080 lines are required to be scanned and charged in total, then 45 lines are stopped, the 1080 line charging time is the Active area, the 45 line charging time is the Blank area, and the Fresync is to change the refresh rate by changing the line number of the charging time of the Blank area. For example, in the case where the refresh rate is 240Hz, the number of lines per frame, i.e., V Total, is 1125 lines, and if the Blank area is increased by 1125 lines, the number of lines per frame, i.e., V Total, becomes 2250 lines, and since the charging time per line is the same, the refresh rate is changed from 240Hz to 120 Hz.
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display ) maintains brightness by maintaining a voltage difference across the liquid crystal after scanning and charging, but since the charged electricity is slowly lost, for example, the time length of one frame at two refresh rates of 240Hz and 48Hz is 5 times different, the leakage time length corresponding to the Blank area of the two refresh rates is also greatly different, so that a bright-dark change perceived by naked eyes occurs if the fresync is switched between refresh rates with great difference of the refresh rates.
In view of the above problems, a method for performing brightness compensation by trimming gray scale voltages of gray scales at different refresh rates is currently proposed in the related art, that is, TCON sends a control command through I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit, two-wire serial bus) to make GM (gamma) generate 14 (e.g. 10 or 18) GM voltages to Driver (Data driving circuit), and Driver automatically divides the voltages through resistor strings to generate 256 x 2 (positive and negative gray scales) gray scale voltages, and then decides positive and negative based on POL (line inversion signal) given by TCON, and the gray scale DAC determined by Data is converted into Data voltage to be displayed in plane to complete brightness compensation.
Based on the gamma circuit, the brightness is obviously improved after GM compensation is adjusted under different refresh rates, but the brightness still has certain fluctuation and can be perceived by human eyes, because the brightness difference between the refresh rate at 144Hz and 48Hz is 4nits, but the GM still has 1nits brightness change when the GM is displayed with the minimum Step adjustment voltage, namely, at most 4 steps can be compensated, the compensation result still has certain fluctuation and is not smooth enough, and the minimum Step of the GM needs to be finer.
Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a gamma circuit, a driving circuit of a display panel and a display panel, and by finer minimum Step of GM, the accuracy of partial gamma reference voltage output by the gamma circuit is improved, so that the brightness change which can be perceived by human eyes can not be perceived by human eyes any more when the display screen switches the refresh rate in the related technology, and further the problem of picture flickering is solved.
The gamma circuit, the driving circuit of the display panel and the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present application are specifically described through the following embodiments, and the gamma circuit in the embodiments of the present application is described first.
An embodiment of the present application provides a gamma circuit, referring to fig. 1, and fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the gamma circuit according to an embodiment of the present application.
The input voltage adjusting module 10 is configured to perform voltage stabilizing processing on an external input voltage VAA, generate a reference voltage Vref, and decompose the reference voltage Vref into a plurality of pieces of reference voltages with a preset number;
the gamma voltage adjusting module 20 is connected with the input voltage adjusting module 10, and the gamma voltage adjusting module 20 is configured to generate a first gamma voltage set OUT1 and a second gamma voltage set OUT2 according to an external control command and each reference voltage, wherein the accuracy of the second gamma voltage set OUT2 is higher than that of the first gamma voltage set OUT 1.
It should be noted that the gamma circuit provided in this embodiment may be applied to a driving circuit of a display panel, where the external input voltage VAA is provided by a power supply circuit in the driving circuit, and the external control command is sent by a timing control circuit TCON in the driving circuit through I2C.
In some possible embodiments, the first set of gamma voltages has a precision of 10 bits and the second set of gamma voltages has a precision of 12 bits.
As an example, in case the precision of the first gamma voltage set OUT1 is 8 bits, the precision of the second gamma voltage set OUT2 may be 10 bits; in case that the precision of the first gamma voltage set OUT1 is 10 bits, the precision of the second gamma voltage set OUT2 may be 11 bits or 12 bits.
In some possible embodiments, the first gamma voltage set OUT1 includes 10 groups of gamma voltages corresponding to boundary gray scale voltages, and the second gamma voltage set OUT2 includes 4 groups of gamma voltages corresponding to intermediate gray scale voltages, wherein the corresponding brightness change when the boundary gray scale voltages are changed is not perceived by human eyes, and the corresponding brightness change when the intermediate gray scale voltages are changed is perceived by human eyes.
As an example, the gamma circuit in this embodiment may generate 14 sets of gamma reference voltages GM1, GM2, GM3, respectively, GM14, GM1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 corresponding to the gray scales 255, 254, 223, 127, 31,1,0,0, -1, -31, -127, -223, -254, -255, wherein GM1,2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13,14 is the first gamma voltage set OUT1, GM4,5,10,11 belonging to the boundary gray scale voltages 255, 254, 223,1,0,0, -1, -223, -254, -255, and the second gamma voltage set OUT2 corresponding to the intermediate gray scale voltages 127, 31, -31, -127, respectively.
As an example, it is known from the above examples that the corresponding gray scale is either too high or too low for GM1,2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13,14, and the 10bit division is sufficient, and the corresponding brightness change is not perceived by human eyes although there is a certain fluctuation in the gamma voltage compensation, but the corresponding gray scale is middle-low gray scale for GM4,5,10,11, and thus the fluctuation is perceived by human eyes.
In some possible embodiments, the gamma voltage adjustment module 20 includes:
the input end of the first digital-to-analog conversion unit 201 is connected with the input voltage adjusting module 10, and the first digital-to-analog conversion unit 201 is configured to generate a first gamma voltage set OUT1 and a gamma voltage set to be processed according to an external control instruction and each reference voltage, and output the first gamma voltage set to a data driving circuit;
the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202, the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202 is connected to the output end of the first digital-to-analog conversion unit 201, and the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202 is configured to obtain the second gamma voltage set OUT2 after the gamma voltage set to be processed is secondarily adjusted, and output the second gamma voltage set OUT2 to the data driving circuit.
In some possible embodiments, the gamma voltage adjustment module 20 further includes:
the voltage dividing resistor string 203 is disposed between the output end of the first digital-to-analog conversion unit 201 and the input end of the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202, and the voltage dividing resistor string 203 is configured to perform voltage dividing processing on the gamma voltage set to be processed and transmit each gamma voltage after the voltage dividing processing to the second digital-to-analog conversion unit.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the gamma circuit generates Vref after stabilizing the VAA voltage, then equally divides Vref into 10 bits (1 part may be regarded as 1 Step) that are 1024 parts of reference voltage, TCON sets GM voltages of different GM by transmitting 2-system commands through I2C, GM outputs after performing DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) according to the commands, for GM1,2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13,14, since the corresponding brightness change will not be perceived by human eyes, 10 bits are kept unchanged, but GM4,5,10,11 needs to be divided by 12 bits (13 bits may be, more is not necessary), the high-order 10 bits in the 12 bits are firstly processed identically with GM1,2,3,6,7,8,9,12,13,14 in the first Digital-Analog conversion unit 201, the processed result is transmitted to the second Digital-Analog conversion unit 202 through the voltage dividing resistor string 203 for further 2 bits to perform finer division, and finally, GM4,5,10,11 is only need to be divided by 2 bits, and thus the related technology is simplified, and the most improved precision is achieved.
As an example, since the LCD display screen display brightness is composed of positive and negative gray levels, we can further fine tune brightness, positive and negative are separately controlled, and GM4 and GM11 correspond to positive 127 gray and negative 127 gray respectively, when one of GM4 or GM11 is added with a Step, macroscopic view is added with 1/2Step, when GM4 or GM11 is added with a Step, macroscopic view is added with 1Step, so 0,0.5,1 brightness is adjusted.
As an example, the first DAC unit 201 is a DAC 10bit to 1024 decoder.
As an example, the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202 is a DAC 2bit to 4 decoder.
In some possible embodiments, the input voltage adjustment module 10 includes:
a voltage stabilizing unit 101, where the voltage stabilizing unit 101 is configured to perform voltage stabilizing processing on an external input voltage VAA to generate a reference voltage Vref;
the voltage division unit 102, the voltage division unit 102 is connected with the voltage stabilizing unit 101, and the voltage division unit 102 is used for decomposing the reference voltage Vref into a plurality of reference voltages with preset quantity.
As an example, in the present embodiment, the voltage stabilizing unit 101 may be a voltage regulator.
As an example, in the present embodiment, the voltage dividing unit 202 may be a voltage dividing resistor string whose resistance value is set as needed.
Furthermore, as an alternative, based on the gamma circuit provided in the above embodiment, if the gamma circuit still works with 10 bits (i.e. the second digital-to-analog conversion unit 202 and the voltage dividing resistor string 203 in the above gamma circuit are removed), we can realize the effect that the accuracy of the partial gamma reference voltage reaches 11 bits and 12 bits through the extension circuit.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of another gamma circuit provided in this embodiment, in fig. 2, GM4 and 5,10,11 are formed by dividing voltages of two GM outputs by resistors with equal resistance values, so that GM chips with 18 GM outputs are required for outputting 14 gamma reference voltages. Taking GM4 as an example, since GM internal registers are outputs controlled with 10 bits (1024 parts), one part is a Step, if R1 is equal to R2, when one of GM4 or GM11 is added by half Step, macroscopically by 1/4Step, when two of GM4 or GM11 are added by half Step, macroscopically by 1/2Step, when one of GM4 or GM11 is added by one Step, the other is added by half Step, macroscopically by 3/4Step, when two of GM4 or GM11 are added by one Step, macroscopically by 1Step, therefore, it is 0,0.25,0.5,1 brightness adjustment, 1bit accuracy; and the method is equivalent to 11bit division for TCON control selection, and the GM voltage is finely adjusted.
Referring to fig. 3 in the same way, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of another gamma circuit according to the present embodiment.
As an example, R1 can be replaced by 3Ω, R2, R3 can be replaced by a 6Ω resistor, a simplified circuit, 3Ω/6Ω is just an example, and the resistance can be adjusted in a certain range, when one of GM4 or GM11 is added by half Step, macroscopic is 1/6 (one is added by 1/3), 2/6 (two is added by 1/3), 3/6 (one is added by 1), 4/6 (two is added by 2/3), 5/6 (one is added by 2/3, one is added by 1), 6/6 (two is added by 1), so 0,0.17,0.33,0.5,0.67,0.83,1 brightness is adjusted, and the precision more than 10 bits is higher than 1bit but less than 2bit.
As an example, R1 is replaced with 2Ω, R2, R3 may be replaced with an 8Ω resistor, R10 with 2Ω, R11, R12 with an 8Ω resistor, macroscopic may be 1/8 (one plus 1/4), 2/8 (two plus 1/4), 3/8 (one plus 1, one minus 1/4), 4/8 (one plus 1), 5/8 (one plus 1/4, one plus 1), 6/8 (two plus 3/4), 7/8 (one plus 1/4, one plus 3/4), 1 (two plus 1), so is 0,0.125,0.25,0.375,0.5,0.625,0.75,0.875,1 brightness; and the method is equivalent to 12bit division for TCON control selection, and fine adjustment of GM voltage is realized.
It should be noted that, in fig. 2 and 3, besides the gamma circuit GM, a Power supply circuit Power for providing an external input voltage VAA to the GM and a timing control circuit TCON for sending an external control command to the GM through I2C are also shown, V1 to V18 respectively represent 18 paths of voltages output by the GM, R1 to R12 are resistors with resistance values adjustable according to actual requirements, and GM1 to GM14 are gamma reference voltages finally output to the data driving circuit.
The embodiment of the application provides a gamma circuit, through at the inside digital-to-analog conversion unit that increases of gamma circuit, or the newly-increased extension circuit of output at gamma circuit, can both finer the minimum Step of gamma circuit, improved the precision of the partial gamma reference voltage of gamma circuit output for the luminance change that can be perceived by the human eye when the display screen switches the refresh rate can no longer be perceived by the human eye in the correlation technique, and then solved picture scintillation problem.
It should be noted that GM refinement adjustment implemented based on the gamma circuit provided in this embodiment is not only beneficial to implementing brightness compensation during switching between different refresh rates based on gamma voltage compensation. For example, when the display screen is produced, for a part of high-specification products, auto P-GM adjustment is performed on each display screen through an automatic instrument, namely, each display screen has GM setting which is most suitable for the display screen, so that Flicker is optimized, and Auto P-GM adjustment of the optimum value of the Flicker is more accurate after GM refinement. For another example, the brightness and contrast of the whole display screen can be adjusted, for example, when the mobile phone is used, the mobile phone can be automated or the user is required to manually adjust the display brightness, for example, the mobile phone is adjusted from 100% to 50%, the brightness change in the adjusting process is required to be as fine and continuous as possible, the backlight brightness can be adjusted, the display data can be adjusted, but if the brightness is not fine enough, the GM precision can be adjusted. When the gray scale is adjusted to 50% by 100%, the same number of gray scale numbers as 100% are still needed when the gray scale is adjusted to 50%, the adjustment of the display data is not feasible, only the adjustment of the backlight brightness or the GM voltage is performed, the adjustment of the backlight brightness is the integral compression of all gray scales, but the gray scale brightness curve is required to meet the GM2.2 brightness curve perceived by human eyes, the adjustment of the backlight brightness is followed by further fine adjustment of the display data and the GM voltage to enable the display data and the GM voltage to fit the GM2.2 brightness curve, and the fitting degree can be adjusted to be higher when the GM precision is higher.
