Detailed Description
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel device according to the present invention, the display panel device includes a display panel 100, data lines (not shown) and scan lines (not shown) disposed on the display panel 100 and crisscrossed, a pixel unit defined by intersections of the data lines and the scan lines, a pixel electrode disposed in the pixel unit, a TFT switch disposed at an intersection of the data lines and the scan lines, a source driver 10 connected to the data lines, a gate driver or gate driving circuit 20 (shown in fig. 5) connected to the scan lines, and a timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 (shown in fig. 5), wherein the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 is connected to the source driver 10 and the gate driver or gate driving circuit 20. The grid electrode of the TFT switch is connected with the scanning line, the source electrode of the TFT switch is connected with the data line, and the drain electrode of the TFT switch is connected with the pixel electrode.
When the gate driver 20 is disposed outside the display panel 100, it is a gate driver; when the gate driving circuit 20 is disposed in the display panel 100, it is the gate driving circuit 20.
In this embodiment, the change of one data line in two frames is described by taking the case where the positive and negative polarities of the Gamma voltage are changed once per frame for the data line, and the white picture is lighted.
Two pixel electrodes a and B corresponding to a certain data line 1 are selected, as shown in fig. 3, from a period from one time of turning on the TFT switch and simultaneously charging the data voltage Vs of the data line to the pixel electrode a to turning off the TFT switch to the next time of turning on the data voltage charged to the data line to the pixel electrode B and then turning off. As seen from FIG. 3, the pixel electrode A on the data line 1 has a Gamma positive voltage during most of the period A-A, the Gamma positive voltage period is + T, the pixel electrode B has a Gamma negative voltage during most of the period B-B, and the Gamma negative voltage period is-T.
In a period + T of the pixel electrode a using a Gamma positive voltage, the data line 1 charges the pixel electrode a for T1 and the idle time is T'; in a period-T of the pixel electrode B using a Gamma negative voltage, the data line 1 charges the pixel electrode A for T1, and the idle time is T'; here, the period of the data voltage Vs is T in each pixel electrode, and T is T1+ T'.
Herein, the idle time (also called blank time), i.e. blank time in general, is divided into horizontal idle time (i.e. H-blank) and vertical idle time (i.e. V-blank), and the idle time mentioned in the present invention is actually vertical idle time.
Vertical idle time: in the process, from the first line to the last line, after the scanning lines of each line on the panel are opened, the TFT switches of the whole line are turned on in sequence, the pixel electrodes receive signals of the data lines and then the TFT switches are turned off, the next line is opened, received and then turned on, the TFT switches of the whole line are turned on in the scanning lines of the last line, then the TFT switches are turned off after the signals of the data lines are received, the first line is not immediately opened to receive data of the first line of the next frame, the first line is equal to a period of time, and the period of time between the turning off of the TFT switches of the last line of the previous frame and the turning on of the TFT switches of the first line of the next frame is the vertical idle time.
During this time, some processes similar to handshaking signals can be performed between the timing control chip and the front-end input signal and between the source driver and the timing control chip, and meanwhile, no TFT is turned on the timing panel, and the data line normally supplies a black voltage.
The data voltages charged to the pixel electrodes a and B for the first time are the same and are both Vs, and the coupling influence of the data line 1 on the data voltages after the voltages are charged is obviously different, so that the abnormal picture phenomenon may occur.
For the abnormal phenomenon of the panel picture generated in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 4, the idle time T' is divided into n parts and inserted into the original pixel charging time period as the compensation time, that is: the data voltage Vs is applied to each pixel electrode for periodic charging using a Gamma period T, each periodic charging time is T, each time period T includes a pixel electrode charging time T1 and a compensation time T2, i.e., T nt ═ n (T1+ T2), n is a natural number, and T1 ═ n ═ T1, T' ═ n T2, and T2 is generally smaller than T1.
Wherein, in each pixel electrode charging time t1, the TFT switch is in an open state, and the pixel electrode is normally charged; during each compensation time t2, the TFT switch is in the off state and the pixel electrode is not charged. During the compensation time t2, the compensation level on the data line compensates for the coupling effect generated by the data line during the previous charging time of the pixel electrode (i.e. after the previous compensation time is over and before the compensation time is over).
Namely: inputting a data voltage Vs to the pixel electrode during a pixel electrode charging time t 1; in the compensation time, the TFT switch is in a closed state, and a compensation level is input to the data line; the polarities of the data voltage Vs and the compensation level are opposite with respect to the central reference voltage of the positive and negative gammas.
Therefore, the effect difference of the pixel electrodes A and B coupled by the data lines in the time periods A-A and B-B respectively is greatly reduced, and the effect difference of the pixel electrode B coupled by the data lines in the time period B-B per se is also greatly reduced.
The last compensation time of each frame can be used as the original idle time, and if the time length is not enough, the time length of the last compensation time can be increased.
For the compensation time t2 shown in fig. 4, a new function needs to be added on the basis of the existing timing control chip (Tcon IC)30, and the Source driver 10(Source IC) is required to support the corresponding function.
In the present embodiment, the display panel device further includes a Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 connected to the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 as the start-up Compensation time T2, and a Gamma chip (Gamma IC)32 controlling a voltage for each pixel electrode using a Gamma period T, the Gamma chip (Gamma IC)32 is also connected to the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30, and the Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 and the Gamma chip (Gamma IC)32 each output a signal to the Source driver 10(Source IC).
The working principle of the time sequence control chip is as follows:
the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 needs to be able to suspend the clock signal (GCK) during the normal display time (i.e., the pixel electrode charging time t1) to suspend the process of sequentially turning on the TFT switches on the scan lines in the Gate driver or Gate driving circuit 20(Gate IC or GDM circuit).
The Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 and the gamma chip (gamma IC)32 collectively output a periodic data voltage having a periodic charging time including a pixel electrode charging time t1 and a Compensation time t2 to charge the pixel electrode; inputting a data voltage Vs to the pixel electrode during a charging time t1 of the pixel electrode; during the compensation time t2, the TFT switch is in a closed state, and the compensation level is input to the data line; the data voltage Vs and the compensation level have opposite polarities.
The Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 and the gamma chip (gamma IC)32 need to calculate the Compensation level on the data line in the current Compensation time according to the data voltage Vs on the data line in the current pixel charging time (the data output by the timing control chip in the current stage is available).
For the case of a specific output of the compensation level, two ways may be used, either separately or in combination:
the first mode is as follows: at the compensation time t2, the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 directly sends out a signal to make the Source driver (Source IC)10 change the output to a mode with the polarity opposite to that of the current data line output data voltage, and change the level of the compensation level by changing the output gray-scale signal.
The second mode is as follows: since the Compensation time t2 is much shorter than the pixel charging time t1, the required Compensation voltage may exceed the normal gamma voltage, and the normal gamma chip (gamma IC)32 cannot provide the corresponding voltage, a special Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 may be used to set the Compensation time t2, and the Compensation voltage chip (Compensation Block)31 is disposed in the timing control chip (Tcon IC) 30.
The invention also provides a data reverse compensation method of a panel display device, wherein a time sequence control chip (Tcon IC)30 sends out a control signal for driving a source driver, the control signal drives a data voltage Vs to charge a pixel electrode periodically, and the periodic charging time comprises pixel electrode charging time t1 and compensation time t 2; during each pixel electrode charging time t1, the TFT switch is in an open state, and the pixel electrode is charged; during each compensation time t2, the TFT switch is in the off state and the pixel electrode is not charged; during the compensation time t2, the compensation level on the data line compensates for the coupling effect generated by the data line during the previous charging time of the pixel electrode (i.e. after the previous compensation time is over and before the compensation time is over).
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
step S1: the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 suspends the clock signal (GCK) during the normal display time (i.e., the pixel electrode charging time t1) to suspend the process of sequentially turning on the TFT switches on the scan lines in the Gate driver or Gate driving circuit 20(Gate IC or GDM circuit);
step S2: a Compensation Block (Compensation Block)31 calculates the Compensation level on the data line in the Compensation time according to the data voltage on the data line in the pixel charging time (the data output by the timing control chip output in the current stage can be obtained);
step S3: the compensation voltage chip and the gamma chip output a periodic data voltage Vs having a periodic charging time including a pixel electrode charging time t1 and a compensation time t2 to charge the pixel electrode; during each pixel electrode charging time t1, the TFT switch is in an open state, and the pixel electrode is charged; during each compensation time t2, the TFT switch is in the off state and the pixel electrode is not charged; during the compensation time t2, the compensation level on the data line compensates for the coupling effect generated by the data line during the previous charging time of the pixel electrode (i.e. after the previous compensation time is over and before the compensation time is over).
The present invention provides a special compensation voltage, the level of which is determined by sending a digital signal from the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 to the compensation voltage chip 32 (similar to DAC: digital-to-analog converter), and simultaneously sending a signal from the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30 to make the Source driver (Source IC)10 use the received compensation voltage as its output.
In other embodiments, the compensation voltage chip 32 has functions of compensating voltage and time, and the compensation voltage chip 32 may be partially or entirely integrated in the timing control chip (Tcon IC)30, the Source driver (Source IC)10 and the gamma chip (gamma IC) 32.
According to the invention, compensation time is inserted in the pixel charging time, and corresponding compensation voltage is determined according to the data voltage change in the pixel charging time; according to the voltage difference of the voltage transmitted by the data line relative to a reference potential, supplementary voltage with opposite direction of the voltage difference is periodically input, so that the coupling of the data voltage to peripheral devices in a certain time range is counteracted, and the data voltage can always maintain the same coupling amount (which can be 0) in a period; the invention can eliminate most of abnormal picture phenomena caused by the coupling of data voltage to peripheral devices.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the details of the embodiments, and various equivalent modifications can be made within the technical spirit of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
