Embodiment one
See also accompanying drawing 4, be the connected mode structural representation of pixel in the embodiment of the invention one disclosed a kind of liquid crystal indicator.
This liquid crystal indicator comprises: by upper substrate, infrabasal plate and be positioned at the liquid crystal display glass substrate that liquid crystal is between the two formed; Be used for the red, green, blue three primary colours are converted into the data converter A of red, green, blue, white pixel data; The source electrode drive circuit B that input end links to each other with said data converter A; The output terminal of said source class driving circuit links to each other with the source class of each pixel, the gate driver circuit C that is connected with the grid of each pixel on the said upper substrate.
In Fig. 4, the dot structure on its upper substrate is: a pixel adopts certain mode arranged to form by red R (Red), green G (green), blue B (blue), white W (White) four subpixels.
The structure of infrabasal plate is: press certain mode permutation and combination by a plurality of thin film transistor (TFT)s, and corresponding one by one in each sub-pixel of upper substrate.I.e. red, green, blue, each corresponding thin film transistor (TFT) of white sub-pixel.
And; The grid of the thin film transistor (TFT) of the said R in pixel, G, B, the corresponding infrabasal plate of W four subpixels is by control line (G4m-3, G4m-2, G4m-1, G4m) control, and the source electrode of the thin film transistor (TFT) of said R, G, B, the corresponding infrabasal plate of W four subpixels is controlled by data line (S2n-1, S2n).
Can know that in the disclosed dot structure of the invention described above embodiment a pixel is made up of four subpixels, respectively corresponding R, G, B, W four subpixels.Because four subpixels ways of connecting in the process that constitutes a pixel is different; Each subpixels and control line and data line ways of connecting also can be different, multiple arrangement mode to R, G, B, W four subpixels can be arranged to constitute a pixel here.
Wherein, above-mentioned R, G, B, W four subpixels adopt the arrangement mode of two row, two row to constitute a pixel.Specifically can be referring to accompanying drawing 4:
R sub-pixel and G sub-pixel constitute delegation, B sub-pixel and W sub-pixel and constitute delegation; Simultaneously, corresponding formation one row with the B sub-pixel of R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel and the corresponding formation one of W sub-pixel are listed as, and combine both to constitute a complete pixel.And the grid that is positioned at the corresponding thin film transistor (TFT) of the R, G, B, W sub-pixel of same pixel is respectively successively by four control lines controls; The source electrode of the thin film transistor (TFT) of R, G, B, W sub-pixel correspondence is controlled by a data line.
In the formation process of pixel, increased white sub-pixels through the present invention, made when the control white sub-pixels is opened, more white light has been penetrated from backlight, thereby increased brightness; When the control white sub-pixels is closed, white light can't be penetrated from backlight, thereby can increase the effect of contrast, promptly increase contrast.
In concrete application process, the display data of input or picture are made up of R, G, B three primary colours, through data converter; Output R, G, B, W pixel data are that a pixel data of 255 colour picture is R (100), G (120) and B (150) like the color depth of maximum, convert R (100-X), G (120-X), B (150-X) and W (X) into after passing through data converter; Wherein, X be one more than or equal to zero positive number, and smaller or equal to (R, G; B) value of minimum in, promptly this value of X can or require according to demand set.
For example, under the liquid crystal indicator of normal white mode, when realizing deceiving picture entirely, only need be to R, G, B, W apply R (0) respectively, G (0), B (0), the voltage that W (0) color depth is corresponding; When realizing complete white picture, to R, G, B, W apply 0 volt of voltage, just can realize R (255), G (255), B (255), the color depth of W (255); And realizing like R (100), when G (120), the colour picture of B (150) color depth, only need be to R, G, B, the W pixel applies R (100-X), G (120-X), B (150-X), the pressurization of W (X) color depth correspondence.
As adopt the liquid crystal display dress of normal black pattern to show that when showing the black picture, R, G, B, W pixel only need apply 0 volt voltage, just can realize R (0), G (0), B (0), the color depth of W (0); When showing complete white picture, R, G, B, the pixel transistor that W is corresponding is all opened, and gives R, G, B, the W pixel applies R (255), G (255), B (255), the voltage that W (255) color depth is corresponding; When showing R (100), when G (120), the colour picture of B (150) color depth, give R, G, B, the W pixel applies R (100-X), G (120-X), B (150-X), the voltage that W (X) color depth is corresponding.In carrying out said process because R, G, the reduction brightness of B respective degrees; Therefore, carry out the compensation of brightness by W, so R; G; The source voltage that applies above the transistor of B correspondence reduces, and has only the voltage that applies above the corresponding transistor of W to increase, and will play the purpose of the power consumption of saving source electrode drive circuit like this.
To sum up can know, through increasing the W pixel, can improve brightness in the present invention.Than having only R, G, the liquid crystal indicator of B pixel under the same situation of black attitude brightness, adopts R, G, B, the W pixel can play the effect that increases contrast.Need to prove,, it is not effectively controlled, also can only increase brightness if only increase the W pixel, therefore, also extremely important to the control of W pixel in the present invention.And R is adopted in contrast, G, B, the liquid crystal indicator of W pixel and employing R, G; The liquid crystal indicator of B pixel when realizing same brightness, adopts R, G; B, the liquid crystal indicator of W pixel need be than employing R, G, the liquid crystal indicator of B pixel is the backlight of low-light level more.The power consumption of backlight accounts for the power consumption ratio about 70% in entire liquid crystal display device.Adopt R, G, B, the liquid crystal indicator of W pixel can play the effect that reduces power consumption.
