Be the problem that the power consumption that solves pulses switch (transition) display device that phenomenon causes increases, the embodiment of the invention proposes a kind of drive unit and driving method, cooperates in the lump graphic being illustrated as rear at this.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram that illustrates a kind of display device according to one embodiment of the invention.As shown in the figure, display device comprises drive unit 100, data driver 200 and display panel 500.Furthermore, drive unit 100 comprise clock pulse controller 110 with door gate drivers 120, this drive unit 100 is to drive display panel 500.
Specifically, display panel 500 comprise a plurality of pixels 510,520 ... Deng, a plurality of sweep traces 501～508 and a plurality of data lines 531～537.Furthermore, pixel 510 comprises sub-pixel 510R, 510G, 510B, and pixel 520 comprises sub-pixel 520R, 520G, 520B, and these sub-pixels 510R～520B is arranged in array of sub-pixels as shown in Figure 1.In addition, these sweep traces 501～508 and these data lines 531～537 respectively with corresponding sub-pixel electric property coupling.For example, six picture annexations on the first row are as follows: sub-pixel 510R/G/B all is connected the first sweep trace 501 with 520R/G/B, but the data line that each sub-pixel connects is different, as: sub-pixel 510R connection data line 532, sub-pixel 510G connection data line 533, sub-pixel 510B connection data line 534, sub-pixel 520R connection data line 535, sub-pixel 520G connection data line 536 and sub-pixel 510B connection data line 537.Six picture annexations on the secondary series are as follows: sub-pixel 510R/G/B all is connected the second sweep trace 502 with 520R/G/B, but the data line that each sub-pixel connects is different, as: sub-pixel 510R connection data line 531, sub-pixel 510G connection data line 532, sub-pixel 510B connection data line 533, sub-pixel 520R connection data line 534, sub-pixel 520G connection data line 535 and sub-pixel 510B connection data line 536.And the sub-pixel annexation just connects and analogizes according to above-mentioned connected mode in regular turn on the different lines that postorder continues, for example: the 3rd sub-pixel that lists all connects three scan line 503, and itself and corresponding data line annexation just adopt first row sub-pixel and data line connected mode, and the 4th sub-pixel that lists all connects the 4th sweep trace 504, and itself and corresponding data line annexation just adopt secondary series sub-pixel and data line connected mode, and the sub-pixel on the subsequent column is just analogized.As from the foregoing, in different lines but (for example: data line 531 and 532) annexation will present and is staggered, and namely zigzag is arranged (zigzag) with the sub-pixel in the delegation and corresponding data line.
When realizing embodiments of the invention, above-mentioned display panel 500 can be but is not limited to display panels (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD), light emitting diode (Light-Emitting Diode, LED) panel, Organic Light Emitting Diode (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, OLED) panel, Plasmia indicating panel (Plasma Display Panel, PDP) ... Deng.Anyly have the knack of this skill person under the spirit of the embodiment of the invention, when can be according to actual demand optionally to adopt suitable element to realize the present invention.
From the above, when realizing embodiments of the invention, usually can produce several different situations, and need are controlled with adaptive means respectively, below will describe out situation in detail.In the situation that display panel 500 is in order to display white or black picture, because all sub-pixels are complete bright or complete dark, therefore, if general gate drivers is exported control signal and these sweep traces 501～508 of P-SCAN, then data line can not produce the pulses switch phenomenon when the transmission of data gives inferior picture number.Yet, in the situation that display panel 500 is in order to show pure color or complementary color picture, if general gate drivers is exported control signal and these sweep traces 501～508 of P-SCAN, then data line 531～537 the transmission of datas give in the process of sub-pixel, will locate (idol of expressing one's surprise, wonder, etc afterwards is situation alternately) pulsing conversion phenomena in the replacing of sub-pixel of odd column and even column.
Hence one can see that, if adopt general gate drivers, and comes one size fits all in sweep trace 501～508 with usual control mode, then can produce above-mentioned pulses switch phenomenon.Accordingly, the present invention is configuration driven device 100 in display device, it comprises clock pulse controller 110 and corresponding gate drivers 120, and can come respectively the order of these sweep traces 501～508 of gated sweep with adaptive means, the problem that is caused to solve the pulses switch phenomenon.
Particularly, when an image was wanted transmission display panel 500 and shown, clock pulse controller 110 was in order to judging aforementioned image, and exported the first control signal or the second control signal according to the judged result of aforementioned image.Therefore, gate drivers 120 can be adaptively according to the first control signal and these sweep traces 501～508 of P-SCAN, or gate drivers 120 adaptability ground are according to the second control signal and scan one group of odd-numbered scan lines and scan one group of even-line interlace line second round in the period 1.
Therefore, gate drivers 120 is able in the situation that do not need special control, these sweep traces 501～508 of P-SCAN, to save controlling cost of specially gated sweep order, yet, gate drivers 120 still is able in another case adaptively non-ly in two cycles not adopt different scan modes, thereby in the process of complete scan display panel 500, the pulses switch phenomenon that only can cause in the odd-even alternation situation in data line 531～537 is to reduce the power consumption of display device.
The adaptive control device of above-mentioned gate drivers 120 comprises several different implementations, below will explain respectively.
In an implementation, if clock pulse controller 110 is judged aforementioned image and is white or black, then clock pulse controller 110 is exported the first control signal according to above-mentioned image judged result, subsequently, because in the case, data line 531～537 can't produce pulses switch, therefore, gate drivers 120 does not need to control especially according to the first control signal and a little sweep traces 501～508 of P-SCAN get final product.
Moreover, if clock pulse controller 110 is judged aforementioned image and is pure color or complementary color, then clock pulse controller 110 is exported the second control signal according to above-mentioned image judged result, subsequently, because in the case, data line 531～537 gives in time process of picture number in the transmission of data, have the generation of odd-even alternation situation and cause the pulses switch phenomenon, at this moment, need adaptive control mode, come the scanning sequency of gated sweep line.On open scanning sequency and be illustrated in 2A and Fig. 2 B exemplaryly, wherein Fig. 2 A is the present invention's gate drivers shown in Figure 1 120 output control signal oscillograms, and the pulses switch schematic diagram of Fig. 2 B data line that to be the present invention shown in Figure 1.It should be noted that, please in the lump reference the 1st and Fig. 2 A, the first sweep trace 501 output scanning signal G1, the second sweep trace 502 output scanning signal G2, three scan line 503 output scanning signal G3 ... by that analogy.
