Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the system schematic according to the display device of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, display device 100 comprises time schedule controller 110, gate pole driver 120, gamma voltage generator 130, source electrode driver 140 and display panel 150.Time schedule controller 110 receptions show data DS, according to showing that data DS judges the picture update rate of display panel 150, with the picture update rate generation picture update rate signal FRS of foundation display panel 150.And time schedule controller 110 is according to showing data DS control grid driver 120 output scanning signal SC, to open each the row picture element (not illustrating) on the display panel 150.
Gamma voltage generator 130 is exported a plurality of the first gamma voltage VG1 or a plurality of the second gamma voltage VG2 according to picture update rate signal FRS.Source electrode driver 140 is controlled by time schedule controller 110, with the picture element (not illustrating) that is unlocked to the display panel 150 according to the corresponding driving voltage VD that shows data DS of these the first gamma voltage VG1 or these second gamma voltages VG2 output.Wherein, these first gamma voltages VG1 formed gamma curve when the picture update rate of display panel 150 is first frequency (for example 60 Hz) is same as these second gamma voltages VG2 formed gamma curve when the picture update rate of display panel 150 is second frequency (for example 40 Hz).
Fig. 2 is that Fig. 1 is according to the system schematic of the gamma voltage generator 130 of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, gamma voltage generator 130 comprises gamma reference voltage generation unit 210 and partial pressure unit 220.Gamma reference voltage generation unit 210 receives picture update rate signal FRS.When picture update rate signal FRS represented that the picture update rate of display panel 150 is first frequency, then gamma reference voltage generation unit 210 was exported a plurality of the first gamma reference voltage VR1.When picture update rate signal FRS represented that the picture update rate of display panel 150 is second frequency, then gamma reference voltage generation unit 210 was exported a plurality of the second gamma reference voltage VR2.
Partial pressure unit 220 couples gamma reference voltage generation unit 210.When partial pressure unit 220 receives these first gamma reference voltages VR1, then produce these first gamma voltages VG1 according to these first gamma reference voltages VR1.That is partial pressure unit 220 can be carried out dividing potential drop to these first gamma reference voltages VR1, and the result of dividing potential drop is then as these first gamma voltages VG1.When partial pressure unit 220 receives these second gamma reference voltages VR2, then produce these second gamma voltages VG2 according to these second gamma reference voltages VR2.That is partial pressure unit 220 can be carried out dividing potential drop to these second gamma reference voltages VR2, and the result of dividing potential drop is then as these second gamma voltages VG2.
Wherein, gamma reference voltage generation unit 210 can be a memory element, to store these the first gamma reference voltage VR1 and these second gamma reference voltages VR2.And partial pressure unit 220 can be comprised of the resistance of a plurality of serial connections, so that these the first gamma reference voltage VR1 and these second gamma reference voltages VR2 are carried out dividing potential drop.
Fig. 3 is the gamma graph that the first gamma voltage is applied to the different pictures turnover rate.Please refer to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, display panel 150 is with normality display white (normal white), then 310 of curves are the gamma curve that the first gamma voltage VG1 forms when display panel 150 shows with 60 Hz, and 320 of curves are the gamma curve that the first gamma voltage VG1 forms when display panel 150 shows with 40 Hz.Overlap because gamma curve 310 presents part with gamma curve 320, part does not overlap, that is the first gamma voltage VG1 can be different in the asynchronous display effect of picture update rate.For in picture update rate not simultaneously gamma curve can remain unchanged therefore in addition design the second gamma voltage VG2.
With GTG value 32, the briliancy that curve 310 corresponds to is 70.Be 70 o'clock in briliancy, the GTG value that curve 320 corresponds to is 33.According to above-mentioned, the driving voltage VD that the second gamma voltage VG2 corresponds to GTG value 32 can equal the driving voltage VD that the first gamma voltage VG2 corresponds to GTG value 33.And the corresponding driving voltage VD of other GTG value can also determine by aforesaid way among the second gamma voltage VG2, then repeats no more at this.Therefore, when picture update rate was 60 Hz, then gamma voltage generator 130 was exported a plurality of the first gamma voltage VG1; When picture update rate was 40 Hz, then gamma voltage generator 130 was exported a plurality of the second gamma voltage VG2.By this, can be when picture update rate change, the shown gamma curve of display panel can be maintained at curve 310, to avoid film flicker.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3, when the GTG value levels off to GTG value 0, gamma curve 310 can diminish with the difference of gamma curve 320, even identical, that is to level off to 63(in the GTG value be the maximum gray value), the difference of each first gamma voltage VG1 and the second gamma voltage VG2 of corresponding same GTG value can be less.When the GTG value levels off to GTG value 63, gamma curve 310 can diminish equally with the difference of gamma curve 320, even identical, that is to level off to 0(in the GTG value be the minimum gray value), the difference of each first gamma voltage VG1 and the second gamma voltage VG2 of corresponding same GTG value equally can be less.
Owing to the first gamma voltage VG1 is that the first gamma reference voltage VR1 dividing potential drop produces, and the second gamma voltage VG2 is that the second gamma reference voltage VR2 dividing potential drop produces, therefore the difference of the first gamma reference voltage VR1 and the second gamma reference voltage VR2 of corresponding same GTG value levels off to 63 or can diminish at 0 o'clock in the GTG value, even is zero.One group of first gamma reference voltage VR1 and one group of second gamma reference voltage VR2 that table 1 measures for describing actual amount, wherein corresponding same GTG value is shown in same tabulation.
As shown in table 1, the first gamma reference voltage VR1 of part is same as the part of corresponding same GTG value among the second gamma reference voltage VR2, and identical part is for leveling off to maximum gray value and minimum gray value.In like manner, the first gamma voltage VG1 of part also can be same as the part of corresponding same GTG value among the second gamma voltage VG2, and identical part is similarly and levels off to maximum gray value (namely 63) and minimum gray value (namely 0).
It is worth mentioning that, above-described embodiment is as example take display panel 150 normality display white, and in other embodiments, can display panel 150 normalities show that black is example, curve 320 then is the gamma curve that the first gamma voltage VG1 forms when display panel 150 shows with 60 Hz, and 310 of curves are the gamma curve that the first gamma voltage VG1 forms when display panel 150 shows with 40 Hz.And the second gamma voltage VG2 deciding means can with reference to above-mentioned explanation, then repeat no more at this.
