The driving method of pixel groups, two-d display panel and flat display apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to driving method, particularly for driving the driving method of pixel groups, two-d display panel and flat display apparatus.
Background technology
Flat display apparatus (Flat Panel Display, FPD), with respect to traditional cathode-ray tube (CRT) (Cathode Ray Tube, CRT) display device, have slim, lightweight, low in energy consumption, the radiationless pollution of size and can with the advantages such as semiconductor fabrication compatibility, be widely used in the various electronic products with display screen.Flat display apparatus is according to its structure and principle of work at present, include for example liquid crystal indicator (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD), plasm display device (Plasma Display Panel, PDP), organic LED display device (Organic LightEmitting Diode display, OLED), field emission display device (Field emission display), Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display device (Surface conduction Electron Emitter Display, SED), CNT field emission display device (Carbon Nanotube Field Emission Display, CNTFED) etc.
Wherein, take liquid crystal display as example, it utilizes input voltage to control liquid crystal molecule and produces different ordered states, makes its characteristic that light is had to different polarizations or refraction effect control the transmission amount of light, and then makes liquid crystal display show the image of different gray scales.But because light transmission and input voltage are not linear relationship, therefore in order to make liquid crystal display there is preferably display quality, the adjustment of gamma curve (Gamma curve) just seems quite important, and wherein, gamma curve represents the relation curve of gray scale and transmissivity.
Figure 1 shows that the gamma curve schematic diagram of the corresponding different visual angles of different primary colors in available liquid crystal display.General liquid crystal display comprises the sub-pixel of redness, green and blue three kinds of primary colors, and the equal corresponding gamma curve separately of each primary colors.If (being positive visual angle) watches liquid crystal display from the visual angle vertical with liquid crystal display, its trichromatic gamma curve almost can overlap.Yet, if while watching liquid crystal display from side-looking angle, the gamma curve of each primary colors will produce skew, and side-play amount inconsistent, make same gray scale show different colors for positive visual angle from side-looking angle.For example, for can showing the liquid crystal display of 0 to 255 gray scale, if while all applying the input voltage of 128 gray scales for red, green and blue subpixels, for positive visual angle, will show grey, but for side-looking angle, because trichromatic gamma curve side-play amount is different, will show indigo (Indigo).
The side-play amount of this gamma curve, larger when middle gray, less in higher or lower gray scale hour offset amount.In the liquid crystal display of upper example, described middle gray is for example 64 to 196 gray scales, and higher gray scale is 197 to 255 gray scales, and lower gray scale is 0 to 63 gray scale.
Therefore, a kind of method that solves side-looking angle color offset having proposed, to use above-mentioned gamma curve when higher and lower gray scale, to there is the characteristic of less offset amount, a pixel groups is divided into the first viewing area and the second viewing area, be clear zone and dark space, and in the first viewing area, input the voltage of higher gray scale, and in the second viewing area, input the voltage of lower gray scale, with emulation middle gray, make sub-pixel there is approximate color for positive visual angle and side-looking angle.
The driving method of traditional intelligence colour cast alignment technique (Low color shift) be the pixel of the every a line of P-SCAN, and each sweep signal does not have overlapping each other.For example, when opening the 2nd sweep trace, data voltage is inputted the first viewing area and second viewing area of pixel groups simultaneously.Close after the 2nd sweep trace, open immediately the 3rd sweep trace, now open the second viewing area of pixel groups, the storage capacitors of the second viewing area and the electric charge on building-out capacitor are redistributed, make the first viewing area of pixel groups show different gray scales from the second viewing area, to reach Yu Zheng visual angle, side-looking angle, there is approximate color.
But, because above-mentioned driving method provides identical sweep signal to each pixel groups, make the gray scale adjustment of the second viewing area there is no elasticity, if expectation is carried out colour cast compensation for different gray scales, cannot make optimized adjustment for each gray scale.
Therefore, how to provide a kind of for driving the driving method of pixel groups, two-d display panel and flat display apparatus, make all can make optimized adjustment for each gray scale, real is one of current important topic.

Embodiment
Hereinafter with reference to relevant drawings, the driving method of a kind of according to the preferred embodiment of the invention pixel groups, two-d display panel and flat display apparatus is described, wherein identical element represents the Reference numeral with identical.
First, shown in Fig. 2, the pixel groups 1 being combined with pixel groups driving method of the present invention has the first viewing area 11 and the second viewing area 12, wherein, the first viewing area 11 couples with data line S1 and the first sweep trace G1, and the second viewing area 12 couples with data line S1, the first sweep trace G1 and the second sweep trace G2.This so-called " coupling ", be for example by the formed electrical connection of transmission of electric charge.In addition, in the present embodiment, the first viewing area 11 and the second viewing area 12 can be general alleged clear zone and dark space.
The first viewing area 11 has the first film transistor 111 and the first pixel capacitance 112.The second viewing area 12 has the second thin film transistor (TFT) 121, the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122, the second pixel capacitance 123 and distributes electric capacity 124.Wherein, the first pixel capacitance 112 comprises the first liquid crystal capacitance C1 and the first storage capacitors C2, and the second pixel capacitance 123 comprises the second liquid crystal capacitance C3 and the second storage capacitors C4.
The first film transistor 111 couples with data line S1, the first sweep trace G1 and the first pixel capacitance 112 respectively; The second thin film transistor (TFT) 121 couples with data line S1, the first sweep trace G1 and the second pixel capacitance 123 respectively; The 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122 couples with the second sweep trace G2, the second pixel capacitance 123 and distribution electric capacity 124 respectively.
Refer again to shown in Fig. 3, according to the driving method of the pixel groups of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprise that step S01 is to step S02.Below explanation is more simultaneously with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
Step S01 is apart from T at first o'clock
1in, via the first sweep trace G1, provide the first driving signal, and provide two driving signal with electric conduction, to be connected in the first film transistor 111 and the second thin film transistor (TFT) 121 of the first sweep trace G1 via the second sweep trace G2.In the present embodiment, by least one scan line drive circuit output first, drive signal to the first sweep trace G1, and export two driving signal to the second sweep trace G2.At the first driving signal and two driving signal, export to respectively after the first sweep trace G1 and the second sweep trace G2, by pixel data D
1by the first viewing area 11 and second viewing area 12 of data line S1 writing pixel group 1.Wherein, when being electrically connected on the first film transistor 111 of the first sweep trace G1 and the second thin film transistor (TFT) 121 conducting, pixel data D
1form with electric charge writes respectively the first pixel capacitance 112 and the second pixel capacitance 123 via the first film transistor 111 and the second thin film transistor (TFT) 121, now, and represent pixel data D
1the first voltage transmission to the first liquid crystal capacitance C1, the first storage capacitors C2, the second liquid crystal capacitance C3 and the second storage capacitors C4.
Step S02 is apart from T at second o'clock
2in, via the second sweep trace G2, provide the 3rd to drive signal with electric conduction, to be connected in the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122 of the second sweep trace G2, the electric charge of the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122 both sides is redistributed.When being electrically connected on the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122 conducting of the second sweep trace G2, because the voltage of the second liquid crystal capacitance C3 and the second storage capacitors C4 is unequal with the voltage of distribution electric capacity 124, so electric charge can be redistributed, make the second liquid crystal capacitance C3, the second storage capacitors C4 and distribute the voltage of electric capacity 124 to be all second voltage.
Finally, the voltage of the first liquid crystal capacitance C1 is the first voltage, and the voltage of the second liquid crystal capacitance C3 is second voltage.Owing to controlling the 3rd, drive holding time and/or controlling the first voltage of signal, can control the ratio that is charged to the first voltage that distributes electric capacity 124, therefore can further adjust the pressure reduction △ V of the first voltage and second voltage.In addition, the On current of the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) 122 can be designed to smaller value, makes above-mentioned control method can be easier to control.
When the glazed area of the first viewing area 11 and the glazed area of the second viewing area 12 equate, adjust pressure reduction △ V and can obtain different side-looking gamma curve, to improve display device, face the inconsistent phenomenon of gamma curve with side-looking.Shown in Fig. 7, for instance, when the voltage of the first liquid crystal capacitance C1 is 7V, (for example: wavelength is 550nm can obtain corresponding side-looking gamma curve; Phi angle is 60 degree, represents horizontal direction and panel normal direction folder 60 degree; Theta angle is 0 degree, represent vertical direction and panel normal direction folder 0 degree, this is polar coordinate representation), wherein, near the variation of the side-looking gamma curve that pressure reduction △ V is 1200mV gray-scale value 128 is too violent, during side-looking, easily produce the too unexpected situation of change color, preferably approximately to fall within pressure reduction △ V be between 650mV and 850mV to condition.It is worth mentioning that, due to side-looking gamma curve in the corresponding transmittance of high gray-scale value and low gray-scale value region, change very little, so when pixel groups 1 is wanted the color beyond display white and the colour of skin, can reduce pressure reduction △ V to increase brightness and contrast.
Fig. 8 shows the gamma curve schematic diagram of the corresponding different visual angles of different primary colors in the pixel groups of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 8, red green blue tricolor to face gamma curve almost overlapping, and compared to Fig. 1, blue side-looking gamma curve turning point (as shown in Fig. 1 dashed circle marked position) is than less obvious (gray-scale value 96~128 and gray-scale value 160~192), so the side-play amount of the side-looking gamma curve of red green blue tricolor is more approaching.
