Background technology
The viewing area of liquid crystal indicator mainly comprises multi-strip scanning line, many data lines and a plurality of pixel cells that are arranged.Each pixel cell is to be controlled with show image by sweep trace that couples with it and data line.All pixel cells respectively have a thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin Film Transistor; TFT) as on-off element, when sweep trace of conducting, each pixel cell can be connected with its corresponding data line and receives image data on this moment this sweep trace, and each pixel cell can be charged to suitable voltage.Make this sweep trace become the state of not conducting then, just can receive image data more again when next conducting, then conducting time sweep trace repeats above-mentioned steps to receive image data.
The drive principle of look preface method (Color Sequential Method) is to utilize red, blue, green three looks to make the color that temporal switching reaches required demonstration, owing to need to switch fast, so the reaction time of liquid crystal wants fast.Seeing also Fig. 1, is the sequential chart that illustrates look preface method.Look preface method can be divided into three partly according to the control of time shaft.First partly is the thin film transistor (TFT) of each pixel cell of conducting and the time T of charging
TFTSecond partly is the time T that voltage that liquid crystal is applied by thin film transistor (TFT) rotates to the expection shade of gray
LCThe 3rd partly is after treating that the liquid crystal rotation finishes, the time T of quickflashing redness (R) backlight
BL, only finish the image of 1/3 picture (1/3Frame) this moment.Then repeat aforesaid way and finish the driving of green (G) backlight and blue (B) backlight respectively again, to finish the colour picture of 1 image time (Frame Time).Owing to need utilize red, blue, green three looks to make the color that temporal switching reaches required demonstration in regular turn, so during with look preface method show image, liquid crystal need have fast the reaction time (Fast Response Time) and the thin film transistor (TFT) duration of charging is wanted fast characteristic.
At present more and more higher to the requirement of the renewal frequency of liquid crystal indicator, be 240 hertz of (Hertz in sweep frequency; Hz), when the resolution setting value was 1600*900 (i.e. 900 sweep traces of 1600 data line *), the duration of charging of every sweep trace of the liquid crystal indicator that drives with look preface method was estimated as:
Characteristic according to present liquid crystal indicator, the duration of charging of pixel cell needs 7 μ s at least, if consider again to show that a picture is to the interval time that shows next picture, then every sweep trace duration of charging needs at least greater than 9 μ s, so the multi-strip scanning of conducting simultaneously line is two or three sweep traces for example, to increase the duration of charging is twice or three times, makes its duration of charging increase to 9.2 μ s or 13.8 μ s, could solve the situation of undercharge.
For the voltage that allows charging finish can remain to frame update next time, each pixel cell comprises that (Storage Capacitor is Cs) in order to store the voltage that this charging is finished for a storage capacitors.General common storage capacitors has two kinds of frameworks, is respectively Cs and is positioned at lock mo(u)ld top half (Cs On Gate) and Cs self (Cs On Common).It is that the interlayer electric capacity that utilizes show electrode and gate (Gate) cabling to form is produced storage capacitors that Cs is positioned at the lock mo(u)ld top half.The Cs self is that the interlayer electric capacity that utilizes show electrode and common (Common) cabling to form is produced storage capacitors.Because Cs is positioned at the lock mo(u)ld top half and needn't need increases an extra common cabling as the Cs self, so its aperture opening ratio (Aperture Ratio) is bigger, so use Cs to be positioned at the framework of lock mo(u)ld top half now mostly.
Seeing also Fig. 2, is the equivalent circuit diagram that the Cs that illustrates liquid crystal indicator is positioned at the lock mo(u)ld top half.Pixel cell 10 comprises liquid crystal capacitance CLC, storage capacitors CS and thin film transistor (TFT) 100, and it is coupled to corresponding sweep trace 102 and data line 104.Because storage capacitors CS has adopted the framework that is positioned at the lock mo(u)ld top half, so storage capacitors CS can be connected to last sweep trace 106.That is to say that both voltage differences of moment that storage capacitors CS never is conducting to conducting at sweep trace 102 can be subjected to the influence of sweep trace 102 and sweep trace 106 (being last sweep trace), this voltage differences is called feedback (Feedthrough) voltage.
As mentioned above, for solving the situation of undercharge, need for example three sweep traces of the multi-strip scanning of conducting simultaneously line, if adopt the framework that is positioned at the lock mo(u)ld top half, simultaneously for example when Gn, Gn+1, Gn+2, its display frame meeting be that unit produces the black or white phenomenon of black and white in vain with three to continuous three sweep traces of conducting.This is because the feedback voltage of each sweep trace of framework of lock mo(u)ld top half can be subjected to the influence of last sweep trace, and last the sweep trace (being Gn-1) of Gn is the state of not conducting, last the sweep trace of Gn+1, Gn+2 (being Gn, Gn+1) is the state of conducting, therefore Gn+1 has identical feedback voltage with Gn+2, but it is different with the feedback voltage of Gn, the liquid crystal voltage that causes Gn and the pixel cell of Gn+1, Gn+2 to be experienced also can be different, so can become the white black or white phenomenon of black and white at complete white picture, and can't normally show white picture.
Therefore need there be the problem of bright dark inequality to propose a solution in the multi-strip scanning line to the above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator that utilizes look preface method to drive.
