Fig. 1 shows the block diagram of LCD according to an embodiment of the invention.
Include with reference to Fig. 1, LCD: liquid crystal panel assembly 300;Gate drivers 400 and data driver 500, both of which is even Receive liquid crystal panel assembly 300;And time schedule controller 100, it is used for controlling liquid crystal panel assembly 300, gate drivers 400 and Data driver 500.
Liquid crystal panel assembly 300 include a plurality of display signal line and be connected to display signal line and by array arrangement multiple Pixel PX.Liquid crystal panel assembly 300 may include that lower display floater (not shown) facing with each other and upper display floater (do not show Go out), and the liquid crystal layer (not shown) being inserted between lower display floater and upper display floater.
Display signal line can be arranged on lower display floater.Display signal line can include transmitting a plurality of of signal Gate lines G1To GnWith a plurality of data lines D transmitting data signal1To Dm.Gate lines G1To GnExtend by line direction and put down each other OK, data wire D1To DmExtend in column direction and parallel to each other.
Each pixel PX includes: switching device, is connected to corresponding gate line and corresponding data wire;And liquid crystal capacitance Device, is connected to this switching device.If necessary, each pixel PX can also include storing capacitor, and it is with liquid crystal capacitor also Connection connects.
The switching device of each pixel PX can be thin film transistor (TFT), and therefore it has the grid being connected to respective gates line Pole, it is connected to the source electrode of corresponding data line and is connected to the drain electrode of corresponding liquid crystal capacitor.
Fig. 2 shows the circuit diagram of a pixel of the LCD shown in Fig. 1.
With reference to Fig. 2, each pixel PX includes thin film transistor (TFT) T, liquid crystal capacitor Clc and storage capacitor Cst.
Thin film transistor (TFT) T is disposed in i-th (1≤i≤n) gate lines G LiWith jth (1≤j≤m) data wire DLjBetween Intersection.The grid of thin film transistor (TFT) T is connected to the i-th gate lines G Li, the source electrode of thin film transistor (TFT) T is connected to jth data wire DLj, the drain electrode of thin film transistor (TFT) T is connected to liquid crystal capacitor Clc and storage capacitor Cst.Liquid crystal capacitor Clc and storage electricity Container Cst is connected in parallel.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, owing to the LCD of the present embodiment is large-scale LCD, therefore the present embodiment is in liquid crystal panel assembly The opposite sides of 300 respectively sets a gate drivers 400, but the present invention is not restricted to this, such as can also be at liquid crystal panel The opposite sides of assembly 300 respectively sets two gate drivers 400.Gate drivers 400 is installed on COF200, thus realizes At diaphragm (or flexible PCB) upper installation gate drivers 400.One of two gate drivers 400 are connected to the grid of odd-numbered line Polar curve G1、G3、……、G2N-1, another of two gate drivers 400 is connected to the gate lines G of even number line2、G4、……、G2N, Wherein, N=n/2.Gate drivers 400 is to gate lines G1To GnApply signal (or claiming scanning signal).
Data driver 500 is connected to the data wire D of liquid crystal panel assembly 3001To Dm, and apply data electricity to pixel PX Pressure.
Time schedule controller 100 control gate driver 400 and the operation of data driver 500.
Time schedule controller 100 receives received image signal (R, G and B) from external graphics controller (not shown) and is used for Control multiple input control signals of the display of received image signal, such as vertical synchronizing signal Vsync, horizontal-drive signal Hsync, master clock signal MCLK, data enable signal DE.Time schedule controller 100 suitably processes input according to input control signal Picture signal (R, G and B), thus produce view data DAT of the operating condition meeting liquid crystal panel assembly 300.Then, sequential Controller 100 produces grid control signal CONT1 and data controlling signal CONT2, and grid control signal CONT1 is sent to grid Driver 400, and data controlling signal CONT2 and view data DAT are sent to data driver 500.
Grid control signal CONT1 may include that scanning initial signal STV, for starting the behaviour of gate drivers 400 Make, i.e. scan operation;And at least one clock signal CKV.In the present embodiment, clock signal CKV is by the square-wave signal cycle Property composition, i.e. clock signal is alternately made up of multiple high level signals and multiple low level signal.
Data controlling signal CONT2 may include that horizontal synchronization commencing signal STH, the biography of its instruction view data DAT Defeated;Loading signal LOAD, its request is to data wire D1To DmApply the data voltage corresponding with view data DAT;And during data Clock signal HCLK.Data controlling signal CONT2 can also include reverse signal RVS, for reversal data voltage relative to public The polarity of voltage Vcom.
Data driver 500 receives view data DAT in response to data controlling signal CONT2 from time schedule controller 100, choosing Select the grayscale voltage corresponding with view data DAT and view data is converted to data voltage.Then, data driver 500 will Data voltage is applied to data wire D1To Dm
Gate drivers 400 passes through in response to grid control signal CONT1 to gate lines G1To GnApply signal (example Such as high level signal), thus conducting is connected to gate lines G1To GnSwitching device.Then, data wire D it is applied to1To DmNumber Liquid crystal capacitor (and/or storage capacitor) it is sent to by the switching device of conducting according to voltage.
It is applied to the difference between the data voltage of each pixel PX and common electric voltage Vcom to be construed as and utilize it The voltage that the liquid crystal capacitor of each pixel PX is charged, i.e. pixel voltage.The arrangement of the liquid crystal molecule in liquid crystal layer is according to picture The element amplitude of voltage and change, the polarity of the light transmitted thereby through liquid crystal layer can also change, thus causes the saturating of liquid crystal layer Penetrate the change of rate.
Below to gate drivers 400 how to gate lines G1To GnApply signal to illustrate.Gate drivers 400 control the high level signal of odd number or the even number of clock signal CKV according to odd even control signal ON of its storage inside The output of individual high level signal, thus complete gate lines G1To GnApply signal.Specifically refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
Fig. 3 shows the oscillogram of the gate line of turntable driving odd-numbered line according to an embodiment of the invention.Fig. 4 shows The oscillogram of the gate line of turntable driving even number line according to an embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 3, after the rising edge of scanning initial signal STV being detected, when gate drivers 400 storage inside When odd even control signal ON is low level signal, the gate drivers 400 being installed on diaphragm that the gate line of odd-numbered line connects The high level signal of the odd number of clock signal CKV is exported, thus provide the gate lines G to odd-numbered line1、G3、……、 G2N-1, to complete the turntable driving of the gate line to odd-numbered line.
With reference to Fig. 4, after the rising edge of scanning initial signal STV being detected, when gate drivers 400 storage inside When odd even control signal ON is high level signal, the gate drivers 400 being installed on diaphragm that the gate line of even number line connects The high level signal of the even number of clock signal CKV is exported, thus provide the gate lines G to even number line2、G4、……、 G2N, to complete the turntable driving of the gate line of antithesis several rows.
In sum, according to embodiments of the invention, come large scale by the way of driving by using bilateral grid to interlock LCD be scanned driving, improve display quality, thus solve the picture that prior art caused due to signal delay and show The problem showing bad.
Although illustrate and describing the present invention with reference to specific embodiment, but it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that: In the case of without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention limited by claim and equivalent thereof, can carry out at this form and Various changes in details.
