While the invention has been described in connection with specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the invention.
First embodiment
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a circuit connection diagram of a liquid crystal display according to a first embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the wide and narrow viewing angle switching liquid crystal display of the present embodiment includes a timing controller 100, a gate driver 200, and a source driver 300. The timing controller 100 provides a first set of clock signals and a second set of clock signals, each of which includes n clock signals evenly spaced by a phase difference in sequence, and the phase difference between the corresponding clock signals of the first set of clock signals and the second set of clock signals is 1/2 phase differences in the wide viewing angle display mode and is the same in the narrow viewing angle display mode, where n is an even number greater than 1, one phase difference is T/n, and T is a period of the clock signals. The gate driver 200 provides gate signals to the gate lines of the odd-numbered rows according to the first set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the odd-numbered rows on the display panel 400, and provides gate signals to the gate lines of the even-numbered rows according to the second set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the even-numbered rows. The source driver 300 provides a corresponding data signal to the data line connected to each pixel unit 401 to charge the turned-on pixel unit 401; the source driver 300 provides corresponding data signals in the wide viewing angle display mode to enable each pixel unit 401 to display a video data point 410 with a first resolution, the source driver 300 provides corresponding data signals in the narrow viewing angle display mode to enable each pixel unit 401 of every four adjacent odd-even columns corresponding to every two rows of gate lines to display a video data point 420 with a second resolution, and the pixel units 401 of odd columns are driven by a first set of gamma voltages, and the pixel units 401 of even columns are driven by a second set of gamma voltages.
In one embodiment, the source driver 300 enables every four adjacent odd-even columns of pixel units 401 corresponding to every two rows of gate lines to receive data signals corresponding to odd-numbered rows of video signals during odd-numbered frames and receive data signals corresponding to even-numbered rows of video signals during even-numbered frames in the narrow viewing angle display mode.
In an embodiment, the gate driver 200 may include a plurality of gate driving units, the gate driving units of the odd rows receiving the first set of clock signals, and the gate driving units of the even rows receiving the second set of clock signals. The gate driver 200 may implement two ways of turning on the pixel unit 401 of the display panel 400 of two modes of the wide viewing angle display mode and the narrow viewing angle display mode through the gate driving unit.
In one embodiment, the liquid crystal display includes another gate driver 200 having the same structure and connection as the gate driver 200, and the another gate driver 200 is disposed at both sides of the display panel 400 opposite to the gate driver 200.
Specifically, in the wide view display mode, the timing controller 100 outputs a first group of clock signals, a second group of clock signals, and the like, where the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals each include n clock signals uniformly spaced by one phase difference in sequence, and the phase intervals of the corresponding clock signals of the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals are 1/2 phase differences, so that all clock signals of the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals are 2n clock signals uniformly spaced by 1/2 phase differences in sequence. The duty cycles of the clock signals of the first and second sets of clock signals may each be 50%. Furthermore, the gate driver 200 provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the odd-numbered rows according to the first set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the odd-numbered rows on the display panel 400, and provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the even-numbered rows according to the second set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the even-numbered rows. The gate driver 200 may be enabled to sequentially supply the gate signals to the gate lines of each row from top to bottom under the common driving of the first set of clock signals and the second set of clock signals outputted from the timing controller 100, and correspondingly sequentially turn on the pixel units 401 of each row from top to bottom. At this time, the source driver 300 provides the corresponding data signal to make each pixel unit 401 display an image data point 410 of the first resolution, that is, as shown in fig. 1, each pixel unit 401 may include a plurality of sub-pixels, for example, three sub-pixels, which may be a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, respectively, and receives the corresponding data signals provided by the source driver 300 through corresponding three data lines (S1, S2 …), for example, the first pixel unit 401 of the first row may be the first three sub-pixels of the first row, and receives the data signals S1 provided by the source driver 300 through three data lines, so that each pixel unit 401 displays an image data point 410 of the first resolution.
In the narrow viewing angle display mode, the timing controller 100 outputs a first group of clock signals and a second group of clock signals, where the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals each include n clock signals uniformly spaced by a phase difference in sequence, and the phases of the corresponding clock signals of the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals are the same, so that all the clock signals of the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals are the same clock signals corresponding to each other one by one, that is, the first group of clock signals and the second group of clock signals are the same in timing sequence. The duty cycles of the clock signals of the first and second sets of clock signals may each be 50%. Furthermore, the gate driver 200 provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the odd-numbered rows according to the first set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the odd-numbered rows on the display panel 400, and provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the even-numbered rows according to the second set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the even-numbered rows. Under the common driving of the first and second sets of clock signals output from the timing controller 100, the driving gate driver 200 may be caused to simultaneously supply gate signals to the gate lines of odd and even two rows from top to bottom at a time, for example, the gate driver 200 is driven to simultaneously supply gate signals to the gate lines of the first and second rows, to simultaneously supply gate signals to the gate lines of the third and fourth rows, then, the gate lines of the fifth and sixth rows are simultaneously supplied with gate signals, and the gate lines of the remaining rows are sequentially supplied with gate signals downward, and correspondingly, the pixel units 401 of odd and even two rows are sequentially and simultaneously turned on from top to bottom, that is, the pixel units 401 of the first row and the second row are turned on at the same time, and then the pixel units 401 of the third row and the fourth row are turned on at the same time, then, the pixel cells 401 of the fifth and sixth rows are simultaneously turned on, and the pixel cells 401 of the remaining rows are sequentially turned down. At this time, the source driver 300 provides corresponding data signals to enable every four adjacent odd-even columns of pixel units 401 corresponding to every two rows of gate lines to display an image data point 420 of the second resolution, that is, as shown in fig. 1, for example, after the pixel units 401 of the first and second rows are simultaneously turned on by the gate driver 200, the pixel units 401 of the first and second columns in the first and second rows display an image data point 420 of the second resolution, the pixel units 401 of the third and fourth columns in the first and second rows display another image data point of the second resolution, and the adjacent four pixel units 401 of the odd-even columns in each two rows sequentially display an image data point 420 of the second resolution, so as to achieve the display effect of switching the resolution. And the source driver 300 drives the pixel units 401 of the odd columns by the first group of gamma voltages and drives the pixel units 401 of the even columns by the second group of gamma voltages to realize the display effect of the narrow viewing angle. Further, the source driver 300 may be configured such that every four adjacent odd-even column pixel cells 401 corresponding to every two rows of gate lines receive data signals corresponding to odd-numbered rows of video in an odd-numbered frame and receive data signals corresponding to even-numbered rows of video in an even-numbered frame. Therefore, the odd and even frames alternately display images, and the problems of image flicker and the like caused by gray scale inversion are solved.
In the wide viewing angle display mode, according to the gate signal output by the gate driver 200, the time for charging the pixels to display images is 1/2 phase differences, i.e., T/(2n), and T is the period of the clock signal. In the narrow viewing angle display mode, according to the gate signal output by the gate driver 200, the time for charging the pixel to the voltage at which the pixel displays the image is a phase difference, i.e., T/n, and T is the period of the clock signal.
In an embodiment, the first resolution may be an ultra high definition UHD, and the second resolution may be a full high definition FHD, that is, when switching from the wide view display mode to the narrow view display mode, the ultra high definition UHD picture may be switched to a full high definition FHD resolution picture.
The liquid crystal display with the wide and narrow viewing angles switching can be switched to a full high definition FHD resolution picture when the wide viewing angle display mode is switched to the narrow viewing angle display mode, so that the requirement of high display quality of a user can be met.

In one embodiment, the 4 clock signals of the first group of clock signals are the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, the third clock signal CLK3 and the fourth clock signal CLK4, respectively, the first clock signal CLK1 is one phase difference earlier than the second clock signal CLK2, the second clock signal CLK2 is one phase difference earlier than the third clock signal CLK3, and the third clock signal CLK3 is one phase difference earlier than the fourth clock signal CLK 4; the 4 clock signals of the second group of clock signals are the fifth clock signal CLK5, the sixth clock signal CLK6, the seventh clock signal CLK7 and the eighth clock signal CLK8, respectively, the fifth clock signal CLK5 is one phase difference earlier than the sixth clock signal CLK6, the sixth clock signal CLK6 is one phase difference earlier than the seventh clock signal CLK7, and the seventh clock signal CLK7 is one phase difference earlier than the eighth clock signal CLK 8.
In an embodiment, the duty cycles of the clock signals of the first and second sets of clock signals may each be 50%.
In one embodiment, the timing controller 100 outputs the first trigger signal STV1 to the gate driving units of the first 2 odd-numbered rows, and outputs the second trigger signal STV2 to the gate driving units of the first 2 even-numbered rows.

Furthermore, the gate driver 200 provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the odd-numbered rows according to the first set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the odd-numbered rows on the display panel 400, and provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the even-numbered rows according to the second set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the even-numbered rows. Under the common driving of the first and second clock signals outputted from the timing controller 100, the gate driver 200 can sequentially supply gate signals to the gate lines of each row from top to bottom (refer to the gate driving signals shown in fig. 5, the gate signal outputted from the first stage gate driving unit is G1, the gate signal outputted from the second stage gate driving unit is G2 …, the gate signal outputted from the eighth stage gate driving unit is G8, and the gate signals are sequentially phase-spaced by T/8), and accordingly, the pixel units 401 of each row are sequentially turned on from top to bottom. At this time, the source driver 300 provides the corresponding data signal to make each pixel unit 401 display an image data point 410 with the first resolution. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of resolution display in a wide viewing angle display mode according to a second embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, each pixel unit 401 may include a plurality of sub-pixels, for example, three sub-pixels, which may be a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and receive corresponding data signals provided by the source driver 300 through corresponding three data lines, so that each pixel unit 401 displays an image data point 410 of a first resolution, and each row of pixel units 401 correspondingly displays data signals of an image of the current row, for example, four rows of pixel units 401 shown in fig. 6, and each row of pixel units 401 correspondingly displays data signals of an image of the current row.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a timing diagram illustrating input signals of the first eight stages of gate driving units in the narrow viewing angle display mode according to the second embodiment.

For example, the 4 clock signals of the first group of clock signals shown in fig. 4 are the first clock signal CLK1, the second clock signal CLK2, the third clock signal CLK3 and the fourth clock signal CLK4, respectively, the first clock signal CLK1 is earlier than the second clock signal CLK2 by a phase difference, the second clock signal CLK2 is earlier than the third clock signal CLK3 by a phase difference, the third clock signal CLK3 is earlier than the fourth clock signal CLK4 by a phase difference, the 4 clock signals of the second group of clock signals are the fifth clock signal CLK5, the sixth clock signal CLK6, the seventh clock signal CLK7 and the eighth clock signal CLK8, the fifth clock signal CLK5 is earlier than the sixth clock signal CLK6 by a phase difference, the sixth clock signal CLK6 is earlier than the seventh clock signal CLK7 by a phase difference, and the seventh clock signal CLK7 is earlier than the eighth clock signal CLK8 by a phase difference. And the phases of the respective clock signals of the first and second groups of clock signals are the same, all the clock signals of the first and second groups of clock signals are the same clock signals in one-to-one correspondence, i.e., the first and second groups of clock signals are the same in timing, e.g., the first clock signal CLK1 corresponds to and is the same in timing as the fifth clock signal CLK5, the second clock signal CLK2 corresponds to and is the same in timing as the sixth clock signal CLK6, the third clock signal CLK3 corresponds to and is the same in timing as the seventh clock signal CLK7, and the fourth clock signal CLK4 corresponds to and is the same in timing as the eighth clock signal CLK 8. The duty cycles of the clock signals of the first and second sets of clock signals may each be 50%. Furthermore, the gate driver 200 provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the odd-numbered rows according to the first set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the odd-numbered rows on the display panel 400, and provides the gate signals to the gate lines of the even-numbered rows according to the second set of clock signals to turn on the pixel units 401 of the even-numbered rows. Under the common driving of the first and second clock signals outputted from the timing controller 100, the gate driver 200 may be driven to simultaneously supply gate signals to the gate lines of odd and even rows from top to bottom (refer to the gate driving signal shown in fig. 8, the gate signal outputted from the first stage gate driving unit is G1, the gate signal outputted from the second stage gate driving unit is G2 …, the gate signal outputted from the eighth stage gate driving unit is G8, the phase of the gate signals of each row is the same, G1 is the same as G3, G3 is the same as G5, and G5 is the same as G7, for example, the gate driver 200 is driven to simultaneously supply the gate signals to the gate lines of the first and second rows, simultaneously supply the gate signals to the gate lines of the third and fourth rows, simultaneously supply the gate signals to the gate lines of the fifth and sixth rows, and sequentially supply the gate signals to the gate lines of the remaining rows, the pixel units 401 in odd and even rows are also sequentially and simultaneously opened from top to bottom, that is, the pixel units 401 in the first and second rows are simultaneously opened, the pixel units 401 in the third and fourth rows are simultaneously opened, the pixel units 401 in the fifth and sixth rows are simultaneously opened, and the pixel units 401 in the remaining rows are sequentially opened downward. At this time, the source driver 300 provides the corresponding data signal to make every four adjacent odd-even columns of pixel units 401 corresponding to every two rows of gate lines display an image data point 420 of the second resolution. For example, after the pixel units 401 in the first and second rows are simultaneously turned on by the gate driver 200, the pixel units 401 in the first and second columns in the first and second rows display one image data point 420 of the second resolution, the pixel units 401 in the third and fourth columns in the first and second rows display another image data point 420 of the second resolution, and the adjacent four pixel units 401 in the odd and even columns in each row sequentially display one image data point 420 of the second resolution, so as to achieve the display effect of switching the resolutions. And the source driver 300 drives the pixel units 401 of the odd columns by the first group of gamma voltages and drives the pixel units 401 of the even columns by the second group of gamma voltages to realize the display effect of the narrow viewing angle. Further, the source driver 300 may be configured such that every four adjacent odd-even column pixel cells 401 corresponding to every two rows of gate lines receive data signals corresponding to odd-numbered rows of video in an odd-numbered frame and receive data signals corresponding to even-numbered rows of video in an even-numbered frame. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of resolution display in an odd frame of the narrow viewing angle display mode of the second embodiment, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of resolution display in an even frame of the narrow viewing angle display mode of the second embodiment, and fig. 9 and fig. 10 can be compared with fig. 6, where fig. 9 schematically shows four rows of pixel units 401, every two odd and even rows of pixel units 401 correspondingly display data signals of an odd-numbered row of image, fig. 10 schematically shows four rows of pixel units 401, and every two odd and even rows of pixel units 401 correspondingly display data signals of an even-numbered row of image. Therefore, the odd and even frames alternately display images, and the problems of image flicker and the like caused by gray scale inversion are solved.

In the narrow viewing angle display mode, according to the gate signal output by the gate driver 200, the time for charging the pixel to the voltage at which the pixel displays the image is T/4, which is a phase difference, and T is the period of the clock signal.
