It is no for dynamic menu that S101 judges that display is currently shown: by the continuous picture of two frames of TCON storage inside Data (former frame picture data and present frame picture data) compare, if two frame data are identical, prove that display is current The picture of display is tableaux;If two groups of data are different, prove that the picture that display is currently shown is dynamic menu.
It detects former frame picture data and whether current picture data (that is: the continuous picture data of two frames) is identical, such as Fig. 7 It is shown:
S201 acquires the continuous frame picture data of two width;
Whether S202 detects the continuous frame picture data of two width identical;
If they are the same, display is currently shown in tableaux to S203;
S204 is if it is different, display currently shows dynamic menu.
If the continuous picture data of two frames is identical, then it represents that data are not updated, next frame picture and former frame picture Shown image is identical, then also meaning that tableaux is currently shown in display, if the continuous picture data of two frames It is different, then it represents that data are updated, and next frame picture is different from image shown by former frame picture, then also meaning that Display currently shows dynamic menu.
After the state for having known current display picture, present embodiment is refreshed further according to the state of display picture Or static movement, this makes it possible to refresh power consumptions when thoroughly avoiding tableaux.Its specific display driving side Method is as follows:
S102 controls fan-out area using sequence controller and sends output enable signal to source electrode membrane of flip chip, so that display Panel obtains new data-signal;
The data-signal of S103 display panel does not update.
In this method only in dynamic menu, it is defeated to the transmission of source electrode membrane of flip chip that fan-out area is controlled using sequence controller Enable signal out, so that display panel obtains new data-signal, it may be assumed that carry out refresh activity, guarantee what present displays were shown Picture is smooth.
Present embodiment is in above-mentioned steps, in dynamic menu, so that display panel obtains new data-signal.That is: Only when showing dynamic menu, the picture data of TCON output can just change, then display panel just needs to receive new picture Signal can obtain new picture, and guarantee the fluency of current picture, while avoid to be made when display tableaux At picture data update action, eliminate tableaux refreshing.
It and is number of the our rule for the display panel of display tableaux when showing tableaux for judging result It is believed that number not updating, it may be assumed that without refreshing, this makes it possible to the power consumptions of refresh activity when completely avoiding tableaux, finally It realizes the effect selectively refreshed, reduces power consumption.
