Embodiment
In exemplary embodiment of the present invention, image element driving method resets liquid crystal molecule rapidly in the time interval lower than millisecond (sub-milliseconds), it utilizes the marginal electric field produced between neighbor to accelerate the relaxation of liquid crystal molecule, to promote the reaction velocity of display panels.Accordingly, the picture update rate (framerate) of liquid crystal display can be promoted, and then improves look segregation phenomenon (colorbreakup).But it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to apply color sequential liquid crystal display on the scene.
Fig. 1 illustrates the upper schematic diagram of the display panels of one embodiment of the invention.Fig. 2 illustrates the diagrammatic cross-section of the display panels of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the display panels 100 of the present embodiment has multiple pixel P, arranges in an array mode.Display panels 100 comprises substrate 110, subtend substrate 120 and a liquid crystal layer 130.Substrate 110 has at least one common electrode 112 and configures thereon.Subtend substrate 120 is configured at the subtend of substrate 110, and has multiple pixel electrode 122 corresponding to pixel P.The Pixel Dimensions of each pixel electrode is p.Liquid crystal layer 130 is configured at substrate 110 and subtend substrate 120, and has multiple liquid crystal molecule LC.The cell gap of liquid crystal layer is d.
Fig. 3 illustrates the time dependent schematic diagram of light transmittance of the liquid crystal molecule of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, display panels 100 is such as the display panels of a twisted nematic mode (twistednematicmode, TNmode), and it operates in normal white mode (normallywhitemode) usually.Therefore, during tb, when common electrode 112 and pixel electrode 122 are bestowed the pixel voltage Vp of common voltage Vcom and correspondence respectively, liquid crystal molecule LC can be reversed, and the long axis direction of partial liquid crystal molecule L C in fact can perpendicular to substrate 110 and subtend substrate 120.Now, light source cannot pass through liquid crystal molecule LC, and its light transmittance (transmission) levels off to 0%.
Then, during tw, when the pixel voltage Vp of correspondence is removed by pixel electrode 122, namely represent that liquid crystal molecule LC gets back to without virgin state during electric field by rotation status when having electric field, its slack time, the reaction time impact on display panels 100 was very remarkable.Therefore, relax to accelerate liquid crystal molecule LC, promote its reaction time, in the present embodiment, when liquid crystal molecule LC transition (such as during tr), the pixel electrode 122 of adjacent rows is bestowed voltage Vp1 and Vp2 of two kinds of varying levels respectively.Common electrode 112 is bestowed the common voltage Vcom ' of particular level, and its level is between voltage Vp1 and Vp2.
Specifically, Fig. 4 illustrates the diagrammatic cross-section of the display panels of Fig. 2 embodiment, and its pixel electrode and common voltage are bestowed specific voltage.Please refer to Fig. 4, for pixel column P_i-1, P_i and P_i+1, at liquid crystal molecule LC transition period tr, the pixel electrode system with one-row pixels is bestowed the voltage of same level.Such as, the pixel electrode 122_i-1 of pixel column P_i-1 and the pixel electrode 122_i+1 of pixel column P_i+1 is bestowed the voltage Vp1 of same level; And the pixel electrode 122_i of pixel column P_i is bestowed the voltage Vp2 of same level.That is, at liquid crystal molecule LC transition period tr, the pixel electrode 122_i of one of them row of pixel electrode 122_i and 122_i+1 of adjacent rows pixel is bestowed one of them of two kinds of varying level voltage Vp1 and Vp2; The pixel electrode 122_i+1 of another row is wherein bestowed wherein another of two kinds of varying level voltage Vp1 and Vp2.
Now, because the pixel electrode of adjacent rows has voltage difference | Vp1-Vp2|, its can set up in liquid crystal layer 130 arrow as Fig. 4 the marginal electric field E that indicates, its cross stream component can accelerate the lax of liquid crystal molecule LC, make it comparatively return to virgin state without additional any electric field, and then effectively promote the reaction time.In the present embodiment, the level of voltage Vp1 is greater than voltage Vp2, to produce marginal electric field E.In practice application, voltage Vp1 is such as 5 volts (V), and voltage Vp2 is such as 0V, but the present invention is not limited to this.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, voltage Vp1 and Vp2 bestow Pixel Dimensions p that pixel electrode 122 and common voltage Vcom ' bestow the level of time length tr by voltage Vp1 and Vp2 of common electrode 110, the level of common voltage Vcom ', the cell gap d of liquid crystal layer and pixel electrode at least one of them factor decide.At this, the time length of tr is such as about 0.5 millisecond, that is the display panels 100 of the present embodiment is in the time interval lower than millisecond (sub-milliseconds), and its liquid crystal molecule is reset rapidly.In addition, in the present embodiment, Pixel Dimensions p that is excessive or too small due to common voltage Vcom ' and pixel electrode crosses the decay that big city causes marginal electric field E, and causes the less effective accelerating liquid crystal molecule rotation.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the common voltage Vcom ' be applied on common electrode 110 be set as voltage Vp1's and Vp2 and the half of absolute value, that is Vcom '=| Vp1+Vp2|/2.Further, the Pixel Dimensions p of pixel electrode is less than four times of the cell gap d of liquid crystal layer, and namely d, p meet the condition of p < 4d.In the case, can guarantee that marginal electric field E effectively can accelerate liquid crystal molecule LC transition, and then promote the reaction velocity of display panels 100.
Fig. 5 illustrates the flow chart of steps of the image element driving method of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the image element driving method of the present embodiment is such as suitable for the display panels 100 driving Fig. 4, and it comprises the following steps.In step S500, when liquid crystal molecule LC transition, bestow voltage Vp1 and Vp2 of at least two kinds of varying levels at multiple pixel electrodes 122 of subtend substrate 120.Then, in step S510, when liquid crystal molecule LC transition, the common voltage Vcom ' of particular level is bestowed at the common electrode 112 of substrate 110.Wherein, the level of common voltage Vcom ' is between voltage Vp1 and Vp2 of pixel electrode.
It should be noted, though the present embodiment describes the image element driving method of the present embodiment with two steps, for reaching the object producing marginal electric field E, on Practical Operation, step S500 and S510 can carry out simultaneously, and both do not have a precedence relationship.That is when liquid crystal molecule transition, voltage Vp1 and Vp2 and common voltage Vcom ' bestows pixel electrode 122 and common electrode 112 respectively simultaneously.
In addition, the image element driving method of embodiments of the invention can obtain enough teachings, suggestion and implementation by the describing of Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 embodiment, and therefore repeats no more.
