Background technology
(Liquid Crystal Display is to utilize the rotation of liquid crystal to control the amount of penetrating of light LCD), to show different intensity gray scale to LCD.Compared to cathode-ray tube (CRT) (Cathode Ray Tube, CRT) display uses the display mode of pulsed (impulse-type), LCD then is to use voltage to keep the type of drive of (hold-type) continuously, because liquid crystal rotates to be continuous variation, LCD make LCD slow than cathode-ray tube display on the reaction velocity of animate, so can produce dynamic fuzzy (motion blur) when showing the object picture that moves.In order to solve the problem of dynamic fuzzy, the LCD utilization adds the black insertion technology of black picture in picture, simulate the display mode of cathode-ray tube display, for example utilizes flicker backlight to add black picture, or utilizes driving circuit to add black picture.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the data transmission of LCD.When LCD uses black insertion technology to write data, need alternately write video data (Display Data) and black data (Black Data), so can produce the problem that frame updating frequency (frame rate) rises.As shown in Figure 1, added a black picture respectively after n+2 picture of LCD and n+3 picture, therefore, use the LCD of black insertion technology need in the time of 4 pictures, show 6 pictures, just use the frame updating frequency of the LCD of black insertion technology to improve 1.5 times.
Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 2 is the oscillogram of the signal of source electrode driver, and Fig. 3 writes the oscillogram of the signal of black data for source electrode driver.STH represents start signal, and DATA represents video data, and TP represents to be written into signal, and Tc represents the minimum duration of charging of panel, and Td1 and Td2 represent the write time of video data.As shown in Figure 2, source electrode driver exports video data DATA on the display panel in time point A, and display panel is finished charging when time point B.As shown in Figure 3, when source electrode driver writes black data, the write time Td2 of video data DATA shortens because of writing black data, shorten to Td2 by write time Td1 originally, though still in minimum allowed band, write time Td2 may arrive the upper limit of the transmittability of source electrode driver to duration of charging Tc.When the write time of video data shortened, the frame updating frequency of LCD rose.When using black insertion technology on large-sized LCD, oversize because of the line footpath of data line possibly, and produce problems such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or signal degradation.Therefore, the time that writes black data of black insertion technology must shorten, to avoid significantly improving the frame updating frequency of LCD.
