The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from the specific details disclosed herein, and it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details.
Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic drawings, and in the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, the schematic drawings showing the structure of the device are not partially enlarged in general scale for convenience of description, and the schematic drawings are only examples, which should not limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and height should be included in the actual fabrication.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a driving method of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the driving method of the display panel may specifically include the following steps:
step 101, obtaining a picture to be displayed and a previous frame or a next frame of the picture to be displayed.
It can be understood that the display panel displays one frame of picture after another, where the picture to be displayed is the picture to be displayed by the display panel at the current moment. The obtaining of the previous frame or the next frame of the to-be-displayed frame is any adjacent frame of the to-be-displayed frame.
And 102, judging whether the display content of the picture to be displayed is the same as that of the previous frame or the next frame, if so, executing a step 103, and if not, executing a step 104.
It should be noted that, the technical solution provided in this embodiment aims to eliminate the afterimage phenomenon occurring when the display panel displays the same picture for a long time, so that it is first required to determine whether the display panel displays the same picture for a long time, and the display content of the picture to be displayed and the previous or next frame of picture is the same, which can be used as a basis for judging that the display panel displays the same picture for a long time.
103, lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to a first driving cycle to complete the display of the to-be-displayed picture, wherein each pixel corresponds to a pixel driving circuit, and the first driving cycle includes: a first reset phase for writing a first reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, an initialization phase for writing a first initial potential or a second initial potential into the pixel driving circuit, a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
It should be noted that, step 103 is executed when it is determined that the display content of the to-be-displayed frame is the same as the display content of the previous frame or the next frame, and it can be known from the foregoing analysis that the display panel is prone to have the image sticking phenomenon. It is understood that the conventional pixel lighting in the prior art includes three stages of writing a reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, inputting data into the pixel driving circuit, and emitting light, and in this embodiment, in order to eliminate the image sticking phenomenon, two stages, i.e., a first reset stage and an initialization stage, are added on the basis of the above-mentioned three pixel lighting stages in the prior art. The first initial potential and the second initial potential in the initial valence phase may be a high potential and a low potential, respectively, or the first initial potential and the second initial potential may be a low potential and a high potential, respectively. The initial potentials input into the pixel driving circuits in the initialization stage are both the first initial potential or the second initial potential, the setting can enable the same driving transistors in the pixel driving circuits to have the same initial potentials, and then when the gate-source voltage of the driving transistors is adjusted to a specified value in the subsequent stage, the voltage of each driving transistor can be increased to the specified value from the initial low potential or can be reduced to the specified value from the initial high potential, so that the ghost phenomenon caused by different voltage change directions of different driving transistors is eliminated. It should be noted that the first reset phase is provided before the initialization phase in order to enable the first initial potential or the second initial potential to be applied to each driving transistor in the initialization phase.
104, lighting each pixel in the picture to be displayed according to a second driving cycle to complete the display of the picture to be displayed, wherein the second driving cycle includes: a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
It should be noted that, the step 104 is executed when it is determined that the display content of the to-be-displayed frame is different from the display content of the previous frame or the next frame, and it can be known from the foregoing analysis that the display panel is not prone to have the image sticking phenomenon. The pixels can be lit in a conventional manner as in the prior art.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment, whether the display content of the picture to be displayed and the previous frame picture or the next frame picture of the picture to be displayed is the same or not is judged by obtaining the picture to be displayed and the previous frame picture or the next frame picture of the picture to be displayed, if so, each pixel in the picture to be displayed is lightened according to the first driving period to complete the display of the picture to be displayed, and if not, each pixel in the picture to be displayed is lightened according to the second driving period to complete the display of the picture to be displayed, so that the driving transistors in the pixel driving circuits of the display panel have the same initial potential.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a driving method of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the driving method of the display panel may specifically include the following steps:
step 201, obtaining a picture to be displayed and a previous frame or a next frame of the picture to be displayed.
Step 202, determining whether the display content of the to-be-displayed picture is the same as that of the previous frame picture or the next frame picture, if so, sequentially executing step 203 and step 204, and if not, sequentially executing step 205 and step 206.
Step 203, adjusting the display frequency of the display panel to a first display frequency.
Step 204, lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to a first driving cycle to complete the display of the to-be-displayed picture, wherein each pixel corresponds to a pixel driving circuit, and the first driving cycle includes: a first reset phase for writing a first reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, an initialization phase for writing a first initial potential or a second initial potential into the pixel driving circuit, a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
Step 205, adjusting the display frequency of the display panel to a second display frequency, wherein the first display frequency is less than the second display frequency.
It should be noted that the first driving period includes three stages and two other stages in the second driving period, and therefore, the time for lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to the first driving period is longer than the time for lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to the second driving period. Considering that when the to-be-displayed picture is lighted according to the first driving period, the to-be-displayed picture is the same as the display content of the previous frame or the next frame, and the display frequency of the to-be-displayed picture is reduced without changing the display content of the display panel, therefore, when each pixel in a plurality of continuous pictures with the same content is lighted according to the first driving period, the display frequency of the display panel is adjusted to the first display frequency before each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture is lighted according to the first driving period, and the display frequency of the display panel is adjusted to the second display frequency before each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture is lighted according to the second driving period, wherein the first display frequency is smaller than the second display frequency. In addition, compared with the situation that the display frequency of the display panel is always the second display frequency, the beneficial effect of reducing the power consumption of the display panel can be achieved by adjusting the display frequency of the display panel to the first display frequency before each pixel in the display picture is lightened according to the first driving period.
For example, the first display frequency may be 50Hz, and the second display frequency may be 60 Hz.
It should be noted that 60Hz is a display frequency commonly used by a display panel in the prior art, and setting the second display frequency to 60Hz makes the display frequency when each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture is lit up according to the second driving period the same as the display frequency commonly used in the prior art, thereby improving the compatibility between the technical solution of the embodiment and the prior art. On the other hand, in the case that the second display frequency is determined to be 60Hz, setting the first display frequency to 50Hz can better avoid the increase of the time for the display panel to display the same picture content, so the first display frequency is preferably selected to be 50Hz in the embodiment.
Step 206, lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to a second driving cycle to complete the display of the to-be-displayed picture, wherein the second driving cycle includes: a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a driving method of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the driving method of the display panel may specifically include the following steps:
step 301, obtaining a picture to be displayed and a previous frame or a next frame of the picture to be displayed.
Step 302, determining whether the display contents of the to-be-displayed frame and the previous frame or the next frame are the same, if yes, sequentially performing step 303 and step 306, and if not, sequentially performing step 307 and step 310.
Step 303, adjusting the display frequency of the display panel to a first display frequency.
Step 304, obtaining a first set of voltage parameters corresponding to the first display frequency, wherein the first set of voltage parameters refers to a set of first working voltages corresponding to a pixel when the gray scale of the pixel is sequentially 0-M gray scale, and M is a maximum gray scale value.
Here, M is related to the display panel. In the 8-bit display panel, M is 255, and in the 10-bit display panel, M is 1023, where M is the maximum gray scale value of the display panel. It is understood that, for example, in a 10-bit display panel, the first set of voltage parameters includes 1024 first operating voltages, each of which corresponds to one of the gray-scale values 0-1023, and when a pixel operates at one of the first operating voltages, the gray-scale value of the pixel is the gray-scale value corresponding to the first operating voltage.
And 305, determining voltage data corresponding to each pixel in the picture to be displayed according to the first set of voltage parameters and the gray scale of each pixel in the picture to be displayed.
It should be noted that, according to the foregoing analysis, each gray scale value of a pixel corresponds to a fixed first working voltage in the first set of voltage parameters, and the first working voltage corresponding to the pixel can be determined according to the correspondence and the gray scale of the pixel, where the first working voltage is the voltage data corresponding to the pixel.
Step 306, lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to a first driving cycle to complete the display of the to-be-displayed picture, where each pixel corresponds to a pixel driving circuit, and the first driving cycle includes: a first reset phase for writing a first reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, an initialization phase for writing a first initial potential or a second initial potential into the pixel driving circuit, a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
Step 307, adjusting the display frequency of the display panel to a second display frequency, wherein the first display frequency is less than the second display frequency.
Step 308, obtaining a second set of voltage parameters corresponding to the second display frequency, wherein the second set of voltage parameters refers to a set of second working voltages corresponding to the pixel when the gray scale of the pixel is sequentially 0-M; for the pixel with the X gray scale, the brightness of the pixel is the first brightness when the first working voltage is applied, the brightness of the pixel is the second brightness when the second working voltage is applied, the first brightness is larger than the second brightness, and X belongs to [0, M ], wherein M is the maximum gray scale value.
Taking a 10-bit display panel as an example, it can be understood that, similar to the first set of voltage parameters, the second set of voltage parameters includes 1024 second operating voltages, each of the second operating voltages respectively corresponds to one of the gray-scale values 0-1023, and when a pixel operates at one of the second operating voltages, the gray-scale value of the pixel is the gray-scale value corresponding to the second operating voltage.
It should be noted that, the brightness sensed by the human eye is the accumulated brightness in a period of time, so that when the first display frequency is lower than the second display frequency, in order to keep the brightness sensed by the human eye when the human eye views the display screen of the display panel unchanged, when the display frequency of the display panel is set to be the first display frequency, the brightness of the pixels with the same gray scale is larger, and when the display frequency of the display panel is the second display frequency, the brightness of the pixels with the same gray scale is smaller.
Step 309, determining voltage data corresponding to each pixel in the picture to be displayed according to the second set of voltage parameters and the gray scale of each pixel in the picture to be displayed.
It should be noted that, according to the foregoing analysis, each gray scale value of a pixel corresponds to a fixed second working voltage in the second set of voltage parameters, and the second working voltage corresponding to the pixel can be determined according to the correspondence and the gray scale of the pixel, where the second working voltage is the voltage data corresponding to the pixel.
Step 310, lighting each pixel in the to-be-displayed picture according to a second driving cycle to complete the display of the to-be-displayed picture, wherein the second driving cycle includes: a second reset phase for writing a second reset signal into the pixel driving circuit, a data input phase for writing voltage data into the pixel driving circuit, and a light emitting phase for lighting the pixel.
Optionally, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of determining whether the display contents of the to-be-displayed picture and the previous frame or the next frame are the same. As shown in fig. 4, the specifically determining whether the display contents of the to-be-displayed picture and the previous frame picture or the next frame picture are the same may include:
step 401, extracting a plurality of pixels in the picture to be displayed as first pixels to be compared, where a ratio of the number of the plurality of first pixels to be compared to the total number of pixels in the picture to be displayed is a first ratio.
Exemplarily, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a to-be-displayed picture according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the to-be-displayed frame includes 25 pixels 500 arranged in a matrix, 13 of the pixels 500 are extracted as the first to-be-compared pixel 500/1, and at this time, the ratio of the number of the first to-be-compared pixels 500/1 to the total number of the pixels 500 of the to-be-displayed frame is 13/25, that is, the first ratio is 13/25.
Optionally, the value range of the first ratio may be 10% to 100%. The first comparison value is too small, so that the number of the first pixels to be compared is small, and the accuracy of the comparison result of the subsequent display content is reduced, therefore, the value range of the first comparison is preferably selected to be 10% -100%.
Further, the extracting the plurality of pixels in the picture to be displayed as the first pixel to be compared may include: and extracting a plurality of pixels in the picture to be displayed as first pixels to be compared according to a preset rule.
It should be noted that the preset rule is a rule preset by a user, and includes random extraction or extraction according to a set rule, and the set rule may be, for example, extraction of pixels in a specified area, extraction of pixels at the same interval in each pixel row (as shown in fig. 5), extraction of pixels with the same color, or the like.
Step 402, extracting a plurality of pixels in the previous frame or the next frame as second pixels to be compared, where the second pixels to be compared correspond to the first pixels to be compared one by one, and the positions of the second pixels to be compared in the previous frame or the next frame are the same as the positions of the corresponding first pixels to be compared in the frame to be displayed.
Illustratively, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a next frame of the picture to be displayed in fig. 5. The pixel arrangement is the same for each frame of display screen applied to the same display panel. As shown in fig. 6, the next frame of the picture to be displayed also includes 25 pixels 600 including 13 second pixels to be compared 600/1, and referring to fig. 5 and 6, the position of each second pixel to be compared 600/1 in the next frame of the picture to be displayed is the same as the position of one first pixel to be compared 500/1 in the picture to be displayed, respectively.
Step 403, taking a first pixel to be compared having the same gray scale as the gray scale corresponding to the second pixel to be compared as a target pixel to be compared, and determining whether a ratio of the number of the target pixel to be compared to the total number of the first pixel to be compared is greater than a first threshold, if so, the display content of the picture to be displayed is the same as the display content of the previous frame of picture or the next frame of picture, and if not, the display content of the picture to be displayed is different from the display content of the previous frame of picture or the next frame of picture.
It should be noted that, as can be seen from the foregoing analysis, each first pixel to be compared 500/1 in fig. 5 corresponds to the second pixel to be compared 600/1 with the same position in fig. 6, each first pixel to be compared 500/1 and the corresponding second pixel to be compared 600/1 can be taken as a comparison group, for example, the first pixel 501 at the upper left corner of the picture to be displayed in fig. 5 and the second pixel 601 at the upper left corner of the next picture in fig. 6 are taken as a comparison group, so as to obtain 13 comparison groups, and whether the gray scales of the two pixels in each comparison group are the same or not is compared, if the gray scales of the two pixels in each comparison group are the same, the first pixel to be compared 500/1 in the comparison group is taken as the target comparison pixel 502, for example, if the gray scales of the first pixel 501 in fig. 5 and the second pixel 601 in fig. 6 are the same, the first pixel 501 is taken as the target comparison pixel 502. For example, as shown in fig. 5, if fig. 5 includes 10 target comparison pixels 502 after comparison, the ratio of the number of the target comparison pixels 502 to the total number of the first pixels to be compared 500/1 is 10/13, and at this time, if 10/13 is greater than the first threshold, it is determined that the display content of the picture to be displayed in fig. 5 is the same as that of the next frame picture in fig. 6, and if 10/13 is less than the first threshold, it is determined that the display content of the picture to be displayed in fig. 5 is different from that of the next frame picture in fig. 6.
Alternatively, the first threshold may be greater than or equal to 50%. When the first threshold is smaller, it can be determined that the display contents of the to-be-displayed picture and the previous or next frame of the picture are the same if fewer first to-be-compared pixels have the same gray scale as the corresponding second to-be-compared pixels, which may result in a decrease in the accuracy of the comparison result, and therefore, the first threshold is preferably set to be greater than or equal to 50%.
In this embodiment, the first threshold may increase as the first ratio decreases. The essential meaning is that if the number of the extracted first pixels to be compared is less, when the proportion of the first pixels to be compared (namely target comparison pixels) with the same gray scale as that of the second pixels to be compared in the total number of the first pixels to be compared is larger, the display content of the picture to be displayed is determined to be the same as that of the picture of the previous frame or the picture of the next frame; if the number of the extracted first pixels to be compared is large, the proportion of the first pixels to be compared (i.e. the target comparison pixels) with the same gray scale as the second pixels to be compared in the total number of the first pixels to be compared can be properly reduced, and the accuracy cannot be obviously influenced because the cardinal number is relatively large. Such an arrangement can ensure that the accuracy of the comparison result is high.
