技术领域technical field
本发明是有关于一种电子元件的驱动装置及其驱动方法,且特别是有关于一种显示面板的源极驱动装置及其驱动方法。The present invention relates to a driving device of an electronic component and a driving method thereof, and in particular to a source driving device of a display panel and a driving method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
请参考图1及图2。图1绘示已知的显示面板10上呈现点反转(dotinversion)的多个像素的极性分布情形,图2绘示图1中用以驱动第二行(line)像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。在此例中,各像素在充放电时皆会对共电极电压Vcom(common voltage)造成耦合效应,其结果将会使得共电极电压Vcom产生不同程度的偏移。举例而言,依据图1的像素极性的分布情形,各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压,其整体总合的效果将会导致共电极电压Vcom向上偏移。当共电极电压Vcom偏移的程度过大时,会造成显示面板出现闪烁或串音等画面显示不良的情形。Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 1 shows the polarity distribution of a plurality of pixels showing dot inversion on a known display panel 10, and FIG. 2 shows the driving channels used to drive the second line of pixels in FIG. 1. Schematic diagram of the waveform of the output driving voltage. In this example, each pixel will have a coupling effect on the common electrode voltage Vcom (common voltage) during charging and discharging, and as a result, the common electrode voltage Vcom will be shifted to different degrees. For example, according to the distribution of the polarities of the pixels in FIG. 1 , the combined effect of the driving voltages output by each driving channel will cause the common electrode voltage Vcom to shift upward. When the common electrode voltage Vcom deviates too much, it will cause poor image display such as flickering or crosstalk on the display panel.
已知技术为了改善上述显示不良的情形,发展出变化型的点反转的驱动方式。图3绘示已知的显示面板20上呈现变化型的点反转的多个像素的极性分布情形,图4绘示图3中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。在此例中,显示面板20上的像素是呈现水平两点反转(horizontal-2-dot inversion)的极性分布情形。由图4的驱动电压的波形可知,在充放电时各像素对共电极电压Vcom所造成的耦合效应会互相抵消,因此共电极电压Vcom不会偏移,从而改善画面显示不良的情形。In order to improve the above poor display situation, the known technology has developed a variable dot inversion driving method. FIG. 3 shows the polarity distribution of a plurality of pixels showing variable dot inversion on the known display panel 20. FIG. 4 shows the driving signals output by each driving channel when used to drive the second row of pixels in FIG. 3. Schematic diagram of the voltage waveform. In this example, the pixels on the display panel 20 exhibit a horizontal-2-dot inversion polarity distribution. From the waveform of the driving voltage in FIG. 4 , it can be known that the coupling effect of each pixel on the common electrode voltage Vcom will cancel each other during charging and discharging, so the common electrode voltage Vcom will not shift, thereby improving the poor display of the picture.
然而,在水平两点反转的相关例中,虽然此种驱动方式可改善画面显示不良的情形,但其功效仅限于降低部分显示图样(pattern)对共电极电压Vcom所造成的偏移。对于某些显示图样,利用水平两点反转的方式来驱动显示面板,仍然无法有效改善画面显示不良的情形。However, in the related example of horizontal two-dot inversion, although this driving method can improve the poor picture display, its effect is limited to reducing the offset caused by part of the display pattern to the common electrode voltage Vcom. For some display patterns, driving the display panel by means of horizontal two-dot inversion still cannot effectively improve the poor image display.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
图5绘示本发明一实施例的用以驱动显示面板的源极驱动装置概要示意图。图6绘示本发明一实施例的显示面板的驱动方法的步骤流程图。请参考图5及图6,本实施例的源极驱动装置100用以驱动显示面板200。源极驱动装置100包括数据运算电路110以及像素驱动电路120。像素驱动电路120耦接至数据运算电路110。数据运算电路110用以接收像素数据Sp1(步骤S200),并且对像素数据Sp进行一极性决定运算,以决定显示面板200上的多个像素210的极性分布信息Sp2(步骤S210)。在本实施例中,极性决定运算的方式例如是在同一驱动通道中将后一行(line)的像素数据的灰阶值与前一行的像素数据的灰阶值相减来决定位于后一行的像素的极性。接着,像素驱动电路120再根据像素数据Sp1及极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板200(步骤S220)。应注意的是,在本实施例中,为了简要说明起见,图5仅绘示显示面板200上的4行像素及12个驱动通道来例示说明,惟所属技术领域中具有通常知识者当知其数量及像素的极性分布情形并不用以限制本发明。FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a source driver device for driving a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the steps of a driving method of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the source driving device 100 of this embodiment is used to drive the display panel 200 . The source driving device 100 includes a data operation circuit 110 and a pixel driving circuit 120 . The pixel driving circuit 120 is coupled to the data operation circuit 110 . The data operation circuit 110 is used to receive the pixel data Sp1 (step S200 ), and perform a polarity determination operation on the pixel data Sp to determine the polarity distribution information Sp2 of the plurality of pixels 210 on the display panel 200 (step S210 ). In this embodiment, the way of determining the polarity is, for example, subtracting the grayscale value of the pixel data of the next row (line) from the grayscale value of the pixel data of the previous row in the same drive channel to determine the polarity of the next row. The polarity of the pixel. Next, the pixel driving circuit 120 drives the display panel 200 according to the pixel data Sp1 and the polarity distribution information Sp2 (step S220 ). It should be noted that in this embodiment, for the sake of brief description, FIG. 5 only shows 4 rows of pixels and 12 drive channels on the display panel 200 for illustration, but those skilled in the art should know the number And the polarity distribution of the pixels are not intended to limit the present invention.
因此,在本实施例中,显示面板200上的多个像素210的极性分布情形是由源极驱动装置100的数据运算电路110根据显示面板200实际所要显示画面,动态地来加以决定。也就是说,源极驱动装置100可动态调整各像素在充放电时对共电极电压所产生的耦合效应的大小,以减少共电极电压的偏移,从而改善因此所造成的画面显示不良的情形,以提供良好的显示质量。Therefore, in this embodiment, the polarity distribution of the plurality of pixels 210 on the display panel 200 is dynamically determined by the data operation circuit 110 of the source driver 100 according to the actual image displayed by the display panel 200 . That is to say, the source driving device 100 can dynamically adjust the magnitude of the coupling effect generated by each pixel on the common electrode voltage during charging and discharging, so as to reduce the offset of the common electrode voltage, thereby improving the poor display of the picture caused thereby. , to provide good display quality.
具体而言,图7绘示本发明一相关例的显示面板300上呈现变化型的点反转的多个像素的极性分布情形,图8绘示图7中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。请参考图7及图8,图7的显示面板300上像素的极性分布情形与图3相同,都是呈现水平两点反转的分布情形,惟两者的显示图样并不相同。在图3中,显示面板20的显示图样为驱动通道R1、B1、G2、R3、B3、G4所驱动的列像素(column pixels)显示灰阶值为255的最亮灰阶,驱动通道G1、R2、B2、G3、R4、B4所驱动的列像素显示灰阶值为0的最暗灰阶,此处定义显示面板20的显示图样为第二显示图样。在图7中,显示面板300的显示图样为驱动通道R1、G2、B3所驱动的列像素显示灰阶值为255的最亮灰阶,驱动通道G1、B1、R2、B2、R3、G3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的列像素显示灰阶值为0的最暗灰阶,此处定义显示面板300的显示图样为第二显示图样。由图8的驱动电压的波形可知,各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压,其整体总合的效果将会导致共电极电压Vcom向上偏移。因此,对于第二显示图样而言,利用水平两点反转的方式来驱动显示面板300,共电极电压Vcom仍会向上偏移,无法有效改善画面显示不良的情形。Specifically, FIG. 7 shows the polarity distribution of multiple pixels showing variable dot inversion on the display panel 300 of a related example of the present invention. Schematic diagram of the waveform of the driving voltage output by each driving channel. Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. The polarity distribution of the pixels on the display panel 300 in FIG. 7 is the same as that in FIG. In FIG. 3 , the display pattern of the display panel 20 is that the column pixels (column pixels) driven by the drive channels R1, B1, G2, R3, B3, and G4 display the brightest gray scale with a gray scale value of 255, and the drive channels G1, The columns of pixels driven by R2 , B2 , G3 , R4 , and B4 display the darkest gray scale with a gray scale value of 0. Here, the display pattern of the display panel 20 is defined as the second display pattern. In FIG. 7, the display pattern of the display panel 300 is that the column pixels driven by the drive channels R1, G2, and B3 display the brightest gray scale with a gray scale value of 255, and the drive channels G1, B1, R2, B2, R3, G3, The columns of pixels driven by R4 , G4 , and B4 display the darkest gray scale with a gray scale value of 0. Here, the display pattern of the display panel 300 is defined as the second display pattern. It can be seen from the waveform of the driving voltage in FIG. 8 that the combined effect of the driving voltage output by each driving channel will cause the common electrode voltage Vcom to shift upward. Therefore, for the second display pattern, if the display panel 300 is driven by the horizontal two-dot inversion method, the common electrode voltage Vcom will still shift upwards, which cannot effectively improve the poor image display.
图9绘示本发明一实施例的显示面板400上以适应性点反转驱动的多个像素的极性分布情形,图10绘示图9中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。请参考图9及图10,在图9中,显示面板400所显示的图样与显示面板300相同,皆为第二显示图样。在本实施例中,显示面板400上像素极性的分布情形例如是由图5的数据运算电路110根据第二显示图样,动态地来加以决定。并且,像素驱动电路120再根据所决定的极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板400。因此其像素的极性分布情形如图9所示,是以水平两点反转为基础,惟驱动通道G2、B2所驱动的列像素的极性分布根据第二显示图样进行了适应性的动态调整。是以,由图10的驱动电压的波形可知,在充放电时各像素对共电极电压Vcom所造成的耦合效应会互相抵消,因此共电极电压Vcom不会偏移,从而改善画面显示不良的情形。FIG. 9 shows the polarity distribution of a plurality of pixels driven by adaptive dot inversion on the display panel 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 shows the conditions of each driving channel for driving the second row of pixels in FIG. 9 Schematic diagram of the waveform of the output driving voltage. Please refer to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 , in FIG. 9 , the pattern displayed on the display panel 400 is the same as that displayed on the display panel 300 , and both are the second display pattern. In this embodiment, the distribution of pixel polarities on the display panel 400 is dynamically determined by the data operation circuit 110 in FIG. 5 according to the second display pattern, for example. Furthermore, the pixel driving circuit 120 drives the display panel 400 according to the determined polarity distribution information Sp2. Therefore, the polarity distribution of the pixels is shown in Figure 9, which is based on the horizontal two-point inversion, but the polarity distribution of the column pixels driven by the drive channels G2 and B2 is adaptively dynamic according to the second display pattern Adjustment. Therefore, from the waveform of the driving voltage in Figure 10, it can be seen that the coupling effect of each pixel on the common electrode voltage Vcom will cancel each other during charging and discharging, so the common electrode voltage Vcom will not shift, thereby improving the poor display of the screen. .
一般而言,常见的极性反转的驱动方式,除了上述点反转以及水平两点反转以外,尚且包括单线反转(1-line inversion)的驱动方式。本发明的显示面板的驱动方法同样也适用于动态调整面板像素单线反转的极性分布情形。Generally speaking, the common driving mode of polarity inversion includes the driving mode of single-line inversion (1-line inversion) in addition to the above-mentioned dot inversion and horizontal two-dot inversion. The driving method of the display panel of the present invention is also applicable to the situation of dynamically adjusting the polarity distribution of single-line inversion of panel pixels.
图11绘示本发明另一实施例的显示面板500上以适应性单线反转驱动的多个像素的极性分布情形,图12绘示图11中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。请参考图11及图12,同样以显示面板500显示第二显示图样为例,数据运算电路110会对像素数据Sp进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板500上的多个像素510的极性分布信息Sp2。接着,像素驱动电路120再根据像素数据Sp1及极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板500。因此显示面板500上的像素极性分布情形如图11所示,是以单线反转为基础,惟驱动通道R1、G2、B3所驱动的列像素的极性分布是根据所要显示的第二显示图样进行了适应性的调整。FIG. 11 shows the polarity distribution of multiple pixels driven by adaptive single-line inversion on the display panel 500 according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 shows the driving channels used to drive the second row of pixels in FIG. 11 Schematic diagram of the waveform of the output driving voltage. Please refer to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 , taking the second display pattern displayed on the display panel 500 as an example, the data operation circuit 110 will perform a polarity determination operation on the pixel data Sp to determine the polarity of a plurality of pixels 510 on the display panel 500 Distribution information Sp2. Next, the pixel driving circuit 120 drives the display panel 500 according to the pixel data Sp1 and the polarity distribution information Sp2. Therefore, the polarity distribution of the pixels on the display panel 500 is based on the single-line inversion as shown in FIG. The pattern has been adjusted adaptively.
底下说明一任意随机画面的第三显示图样,在不同的极性反转的驱动方式下,对共电极电压Vcom偏移的影响,以及应用本发明的显示面板的驱动方法来将降低此一影响。The following describes the influence of the third display pattern of an arbitrary random frame on the offset of the common electrode voltage Vcom under different polarity inversion driving methods, and the application of the driving method of the display panel of the present invention will reduce this influence .
图13及图15分别绘示本发明两相关例的显示面板600、700上多个像素的极性分布情形,图14及图16分别绘示图13及图15中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。请参考图13至图16,显示面板600是以点反转来驱动,显示面板600是以水平两点反转来驱动。在此两例中,显示面板600、700在显示第三显示图样时,各像素在充放电时皆会对共电极电压Vcom产生耦合效应,其结果将会使得共电极电压Vcom产生相当的偏移,分别如图14及图16所示,其中显示面板600的共电极电压Vcom向上偏移的程度较显示面板700者大。FIG. 13 and FIG. 15 respectively illustrate the polarity distribution of multiple pixels on the display panels 600 and 700 of the two related examples of the present invention, and FIG. 14 and FIG. 16 respectively illustrate the methods used to drive the second row of pixels in FIG. 13 and FIG. 15 Schematic diagram of the waveform of the driving voltage output by each driving channel at the same time. Please refer to FIG. 13 to FIG. 16 , the display panel 600 is driven by dot inversion, and the display panel 600 is driven by horizontal two-dot inversion. In these two examples, when the display panels 600 and 700 display the third display pattern, each pixel will have a coupling effect on the common electrode voltage Vcom during charging and discharging, and the result will cause a considerable shift in the common electrode voltage Vcom , as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 16 respectively, wherein the common electrode voltage Vcom of the display panel 600 shifts upward more than that of the display panel 700 .
图17绘示本发明另一实施例的显示面板800上以适应性极性反转驱动的多个像素的极性分布情形,图18绘示图17中用以驱动第二行像素时各驱动通道所输出的驱动电压的波形示意图。请参考图17及图18,在图17中,显示面板800所显示的图样与显示面板600、700相同,皆为第三显示图样。在本实施例中,显示面板800上像素极性的分布情形例如是由图5的数据运算电路110根据随机的第三显示图样,动态地来加以决定。并且,像素驱动电路120再根据所决定的极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板800。因此其像素的极性分布情形如图17所示,显示面板800上各像素的极性分布根据第三显示图样进行了适应性的动态调整。是以,由图18的驱动电压的波形可知,在充放电时各像素对共电极电压Vcom所造成的耦合效应会互相抵消,可降低共电极电压Vcom偏移的程度,从而改善画面显示不良的情形。FIG. 17 shows the polarity distribution of multiple pixels driven by adaptive polarity inversion on a display panel 800 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of the waveform of the driving voltage output by the channel. Please refer to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 , in FIG. 17 , the pattern displayed on the display panel 800 is the same as that displayed on the display panels 600 and 700 , and both are third display patterns. In this embodiment, the distribution of pixel polarities on the display panel 800 is dynamically determined by the data operation circuit 110 in FIG. 5 according to a random third display pattern, for example. Furthermore, the pixel driving circuit 120 drives the display panel 800 according to the determined polarity distribution information Sp2. Therefore, the polarity distribution of the pixels is shown in FIG. 17 , and the polarity distribution of each pixel on the display panel 800 is adaptively and dynamically adjusted according to the third display pattern. Therefore, it can be seen from the waveform of the driving voltage in Figure 18 that the coupling effect caused by each pixel to the common electrode voltage Vcom will cancel each other during charging and discharging, which can reduce the degree of offset of the common electrode voltage Vcom, thereby improving the poor display of the screen. situation.
请再参照图5及图6。在此范例实施例中,数据运算电路110例如是依序对各行像素的整行像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板200上多个像素210的极性分布信息。举例而言,本实施例的数据运算电路110会先对第一行像素整行的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定第一行整行像素的极性分布情形。接着,本实施例的数据运算电路110再对第二行像素整行的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定第二行整行像素的极性分布情形。之后,数据运算电路110会依循此一规则,逐次对下一行的整行的像素数据进行极性决定运算,从而决定显示面板200上所有像素的极性分布信息。Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 again. In this exemplary embodiment, the data operation circuit 110 sequentially performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of the entire row of pixels in each row of pixels, so as to determine the polarity distribution information of the plurality of pixels 210 on the display panel 200 . For example, the data operation circuit 110 of this embodiment firstly performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of the entire row of pixels in the first row, so as to determine the polarity distribution of the pixels in the entire row of the first row. Next, the data operation circuit 110 of this embodiment performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of the entire second row of pixels to determine the polarity distribution of the second entire row of pixels. Afterwards, the data operation circuit 110 will follow this rule to sequentially perform polarity determination operations on the entire row of pixel data in the next row, so as to determine the polarity distribution information of all pixels on the display panel 200 .
在本发明中,数据运算电路110也可以依序对各行像素的至少部分像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板上至少部分像素的极性分布信息,具体说明如下。In the present invention, the data operation circuit 110 may also sequentially perform polarity determination operations on the pixel data of at least some pixels in each row of pixels to determine the polarity distribution information of at least some pixels on the display panel, which is specifically described as follows.
图19绘示本发明另一实施例的显示面板的驱动方法的步骤流程图。请参考图5及图19,在步骤S300中,数据运算电路110依序对各行像素的至少部分像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板200上至少部分像素的极性分布信息。以第一行像素为例,数据运算电路110例如会先对第一行像素中,受驱动通道R1、G1、B1、R2、G2、B2所驱动的像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定该等像素的极性。FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing the steps of a driving method of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 19 , in step S300 , the data operation circuit 110 sequentially performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of at least some pixels in each row of pixels to determine the polarity distribution information of at least some pixels on the display panel 200 . Taking the first row of pixels as an example, the data operation circuit 110, for example, first performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driving channels R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, and B2 in the first row of pixels, so as to Determines the polarity of the pixels.
接着,在步骤S310中,数据运算电路110会对各行像素的至少部分像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算之后,判断各行像素的整行像素的像素数据是否已接收完毕。也就是说,在对受驱动通道R1、G1、B1、R2、G2、B2所驱动的像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算后,数据运算电路110会判断第一行像素中其它剩余的像素,即受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的像素的像素数据是否已接收完毕。Next, in step S310 , the data operation circuit 110 determines whether the pixel data of the entire row of pixels in each row of pixels has been received after performing polarity determination operation on at least a part of pixels in each row of pixels. That is to say, after the polarity determination operation is performed on the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driving channels R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, B2, the data operation circuit 110 will determine other remaining pixels in the first row of pixels, That is, whether the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driving channels R3, G3, B3, R4, G4, and B4 has been received.
之后,在步骤S320中,若各行像素的整行像素的像素数据已接收完毕,并且各行像素的整行像素的极性分布信息已决定,像素驱动电路120会根据像素数据Sp1及极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板200。换句话说,若受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的像素的像素数据已接收完毕,并且该等像素的极性分布信息已决定,像素驱动电路120会根据像素数据Sp1及极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板200的第一行像素。Afterwards, in step S320, if the pixel data of the entire row of pixels in each row of pixels has been received, and the polarity distribution information of the entire row of pixels in each row of pixels has been determined, the pixel driving circuit 120 will be based on the pixel data Sp1 and the polarity distribution information Sp2 is used to drive the display panel 200 . In other words, if the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driving channels R3, G3, B3, R4, G4, and B4 have been received and the polarity distribution information of these pixels has been determined, the pixel driving circuit 120 will Sp1 and polarity distribution information Sp2 are used to drive the first row of pixels of the display panel 200 .
继之,在步骤S330中,数据运算电路110与像素驱动电路120会重复执行步骤S300、S310、S320,以逐行决定各像素的极性,直到决定显示面板200上所有像素的极性分布信息。之后,像素驱动电路120再根据像素数据Sp1及极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板200。Next, in step S330, the data operation circuit 110 and the pixel driving circuit 120 will repeatedly execute steps S300, S310, and S320 to determine the polarity of each pixel row by row until the polarity distribution information of all pixels on the display panel 200 is determined. . Afterwards, the pixel driving circuit 120 drives the display panel 200 according to the pixel data Sp1 and the polarity distribution information Sp2.
另一方面,在步骤S340中,若各行像素的整行像素的像素数据尚未接收完毕,数据运算电路110会继续接收各行像素的另一部分像素的像素数据,并且对各行像素的另一部分像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板上另一部分像素的极性分布信息。举例而言,若第一行像素中,受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的像素的像素数据尚未接收完毕,数据运算电路110会继续接收受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的像素的像素数据,并且对受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定第一行像素中该等像素的极性,从而决定第一行像素的整行像素的极性分布信息。On the other hand, in step S340, if the pixel data of the entire row of pixels in each row of pixels has not been received yet, the data operation circuit 110 will continue to receive the pixel data of another part of pixels in each row of pixels, and the pixel data of another part of pixels in each row of pixels The data is subjected to a polarity determination operation to determine the polarity distribution information of another part of the pixels on the display panel. For example, if the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driven channels R3, G3, B3, R4, G4, B4 in the first row of pixels has not been completely received, the data operation circuit 110 will continue to receive the pixel data driven by the driven channels R3, G3, The pixel data of the pixels driven by B3, R4, G4, and B4, and the polarity determination operation is performed on the pixel data of the pixels driven by the driven channels R3, G3, B3, R4, G4, and B4 to determine the first row of pixels The polarity of these pixels in the middle determines the polarity distribution information of the entire row of pixels in the first row of pixels.
图6及图19所揭露的驱动方法是以显示面板200上的所有像素的极性都经过适应性的动态调整来例示说明,但本发明并不限于此。在另一实施例中,本发明的驱动方法也可以仅适应性的动态调整显示面板200上的部分像素的极性,而其它部分的像素则以预设的极性分布信息来驱动,具体说明如下。The driving methods disclosed in FIG. 6 and FIG. 19 are illustrated by exemplifying that the polarities of all the pixels on the display panel 200 are adaptively adjusted dynamically, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the driving method of the present invention can only adaptively and dynamically adjust the polarities of some pixels on the display panel 200, while other pixels are driven with preset polarity distribution information. as follows.
图20绘示本发明另一实施例的显示面板的驱动方法的步骤流程图。请参考图5及图20,在步骤S400中,数据运算电路110首先决定显示面板200上的第一部分像素是以一特定的第一极性分布信息来驱动。此第一极性分布信息例如是一预设的极性驱动方法,包括画面反转(frame inversion)、列反转(column inversion)、行反转(line inversion)及点反转(dot inversion)其中之一。第一极性分布信息并不会根据画面显示图样进行适应性的动态调整,并且例如由源极驱动装置100外部的电路来决定。此处的第一部分像素例如包括受驱动通道R3、G3、B3、R4、G4、B4所驱动的多个像素。FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing the steps of a driving method of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 20 , in step S400 , the data operation circuit 110 first determines that the first part of pixels on the display panel 200 are driven by a specific first polarity distribution information. The first polarity distribution information is, for example, a preset polarity driving method, including frame inversion, column inversion, line inversion and dot inversion one of them. The first polarity distribution information does not undergo adaptive dynamic adjustment according to the image display pattern, and is determined, for example, by an external circuit of the source driving device 100 . Here, the first part of pixels includes, for example, a plurality of pixels driven by the driving channels R3 , G3 , B3 , R4 , G4 , and B4 .
接着,在步骤S410中,数据运算电路110依序对各行像素的第二部分像素的像素数据进行极性决定运算,以决定显示面板200上第二部分像素的第二极性分布信息。此处的第二部分像素例如包括受驱动通道R1、G1、B1、R2、G2、B2所驱动的多个像素。因此,在此步骤中,数据运算电路110会根据画面显示图样对第二极性分布信息进行适应性的动态调整。应注意的是,在此步骤中,决定第二极性分布信息的方式例如可以参照图6或图19的驱动方法来决定,在此不再赘述。Next, in step S410 , the data operation circuit 110 sequentially performs a polarity determination operation on the pixel data of the second part of pixels in each row of pixels to determine the second polarity distribution information of the second part of pixels on the display panel 200 . Here, the second part of pixels includes, for example, a plurality of pixels driven by the driving channels R1 , G1 , B1 , R2 , G2 , and B2 . Therefore, in this step, the data operation circuit 110 will adaptively and dynamically adjust the second polarity distribution information according to the screen display pattern. It should be noted that in this step, the manner of determining the second polarity distribution information can be determined by referring to the driving method in FIG. 6 or FIG. 19 , and will not be repeated here.
之后,在步骤S420中,像素驱动电路120再根据像素数据Sp1及综合第一及第二极性分布信息Sp2来驱动显示面板200上的多个像素。After that, in step S420 , the pixel driving circuit 120 drives a plurality of pixels on the display panel 200 according to the pixel data Sp1 and the combined first and second polarity distribution information Sp2 .
综上所述,在本发明的范例实施例中,源极驱动装置利用所述驱动方法,适应性地动态调整显示面板上像素的极性分布情形。通过此种驱动方式,在充放电时各像素对共电极电压所造成的耦合效应会互相抵消,可降低共电极电压偏移的程度,从而改善画面显示不良的情形。To sum up, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the source driver uses the driving method to adaptively and dynamically adjust the polarity distribution of the pixels on the display panel. Through this driving method, the coupling effect caused by each pixel to the common electrode voltage will cancel each other during charging and discharging, which can reduce the degree of common electrode voltage offset, thereby improving the poor display of the picture.
