Referring to fig. 2, as an embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, the overcurrent protection method includes the following steps:
and S10, acquiring a target maximum current value of each path of clock control signal within a preset time length, wherein one path of clock control signal correspondingly controls a row of switching devices to be turned on or turned off.
In this embodiment, the clock control signals are generated by Level shifters (Level shifters), each of the Level shifters generating one of the clock control signals, and one of the clock control signals correspondingly controls one row of switching devices to be turned on or off, for example, when the clock control signal outputs a high Level to the switching devices of the corresponding row, the switching devices of the corresponding row are turned on, and when the clock control signal outputs a low Level to the switching devices of the corresponding row, the switching devices of the corresponding row are turned off.
Before the level shifter transmits the generated clock control signal to the switching devices of the corresponding row for control, a current sensor senses the current value of any time or a preset sampling point of the clock control signal, and a target maximum current value is obtained from the current value. The target maximum current value may be a maximum current value in one period of the clock control signal, or an average value of a plurality of maximum current values corresponding to a plurality of periods of one path of the clock control signal. Optionally, the switching device is a thin film transistor.
And S20, acquiring the absolute value of the difference between the target maximum current values of the clock control signals of different paths.
In this embodiment, the target maximum current values of any one of the clock control signals may be used as a reference value, and the difference between the target maximum current values of the remaining clock control signals and the reference value may be obtained, for example, by taking 4 clock control signals CLK-1in, CLK-2in, CLK-3in, and CLK-4in as examples, assuming that the target maximum current values of CLK-1in, CLK-2in, CLK-3in, and CLK-4in are CLK-1-Imax, CLK-2-Imax, CLK-3-Imax, and CLK-4-Imax, respectively, and taking the target maximum current value corresponding to CLK-1in as a reference value, obtaining the difference between the target maximum current values of the remaining clock control signals CLK-2-Imax, CLK-3-Imax, and CLK-4-Imax and the reference value, then there are:
the difference A is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-2-Imax;
the difference B is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-3-Imax;
the difference C is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-4-Imax;
it is understood that any one of CLK-2-Imax, CLK-3-Imax, and CLK-4-Imax may be used as a reference value, and the reference value and the target maximum current value of each of the remaining clock control signals may be further determined.
In this embodiment, the difference may also be obtained by comparing target maximum current values of two adjacent clock control signals, such as:
the difference D is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-2-Imax;
the difference E is CLK-2-Imax-CLK-3-Imax;
the difference F is CLK-3-Imax-CLK-4-Imax;
alternatively, the target maximum current value of the clock control signal for which the difference has been calculated is not repeatedly calculated, such as:
the difference G-CLK-1-Imax-CLK-2-Imax;
the difference H is CLK-3-Imax-CLK-4-Imax;
alternatively, the target maximum current values of the clock control signals are differenced by two, e.g. by
The difference I is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-2-Imax;
the difference J is CLK-1-Imax-CLK-3-Imax;
the difference K is CLK-1Imax-CLK-3-Imax
The difference L is CLK-2 Imax-CLK-3-Imax;
the difference M is CLK-2-Imax-CLK-4-Imax;
the difference N is CLK-3-Imax-CLK-4-Imax;
the calculation result of the difference may be a positive value or a negative value, so the absolute values of the differences are taken.
And S30, judging whether the absolute value of any difference value is larger than a first preset threshold value.
In this embodiment, the first preset threshold may be a preset current value or a preset voltage value.
Under normal conditions, the difference between the target maximum current values of the clock control signals is very small, and the theoretically obtained absolute value of the difference is 0, so the first preset threshold value can be designed to be relatively small, such as being set to be 0.1V, 0.2V, 0.5V, and the like.
And S40, when the absolute value of any difference value is larger than a first preset threshold value, closing the level converter for generating each clock control signal.
In this embodiment, when the absolute value of the difference is greater than the first preset threshold, if the absolute value of any difference of the difference A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N is greater than the first preset threshold, it is proved that one of the two clock control signals corresponding to the absolute value of the difference has a larger target maximum current value, and the larger target maximum current value may be caused by an internal short circuit of the display panel, and even if the internal short circuit of the display panel is not caused, the larger target maximum current value may cause heat accumulation of the display panel, and the internal short circuit or heat accumulation of the display panel may cause burning-out of the display panel, so that when any absolute value of the difference is greater than the first preset threshold, the level shifter for generating each clock control signal is timely turned off, and the clock signal is interrupted to continue to be transmitted to the display panel, the display panel is effectively prevented from being burnt.
And S50, when each absolute value of the difference is smaller than a first preset threshold, controlling the clock control signal to open the switch device row by row.
In this embodiment, if each of the difference values is smaller than the first preset threshold, it is verified that there is no short circuit in the display panel or there is no fluctuation in any one of the clock signals, and at this time, the display panel is not burned, so that the clock control signal is controlled to turn on the switching device line by line, thereby implementing the normal display function of the display panel.
To sum up, this application closes the level shifter who produces every clock control signal when arbitrary difference absolute value is greater than first preset threshold value through the difference absolute value between the target maximum current who obtains every way clock control signal and obtain different way clock control signal's target maximum current, interrupts clock control signal's transfer process avoids display panel is burnt, when all difference absolute values all are less than first preset threshold value, controls display panel normally works.
It should be noted that, since the present application controls whether to turn off the level shifter according to the comparison result between the absolute value of the difference between the target maximum currents of the different clock control signals and the preset first threshold, since the difference between the target maximum current values of the clock control signals is very small under normal conditions, and the theoretically obtained absolute value of the difference is 0, the first preset threshold can be designed to be relatively small, and when the absolute value of the difference is larger than the first preset threshold due to relatively small fluctuation of a certain clock control signal, the level shifter can also be turned off in time, so as to prevent the clock control signal from being detected to accumulate heat in the display panel due to relatively small fluctuation, and prevent the display device from being burned out due to excessive heat accumulated in the display panel.
Referring to fig. 3, as another embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, after step S10, the method further includes:
s60, judging whether the target maximum current value is larger than a second preset threshold value;
s70, if the target maximum current value of any path of clock control signal is larger than a second preset threshold value, closing a level converter for generating each path of clock control signal;
and if the target maximum current value of each clock control signal is smaller than a second preset threshold, continuing to execute step S20.
In this embodiment, the second preset threshold may be a preset current value or a preset voltage value.
After the target maximum current value of each clock control signal is obtained, whether the target maximum current value is larger than a second preset threshold value is judged, the second preset threshold value is larger than a first preset threshold value, if the target maximum current value of any one clock control signal is larger than the second preset threshold value, a level converter used for generating each clock control signal is directly closed, and the absolute value of the difference value between the target maximum current values of the clock control signals of different paths is not required to be obtained and then is compared with the first preset threshold value, so that the processing process is simplified, and the processing speed is improved.
Referring to fig. 4, as another embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, the step S10 includes:
s11, obtaining the average current value of a plurality of maximum current values in a plurality of clock cycles of each path of clock control signal;
s12, the average current value is set as the target maximum current value.
In this embodiment, when the target maximum current value is the maximum current value in one period of the clock signal, an erroneous determination may occur and the level shifter is turned off, which may cause the display panel to fail to operate normally.
Referring to fig. 5, as another embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, the step S40 includes:
s41, when any difference absolute value is larger than a first preset threshold value, obtaining an average value of a plurality of difference absolute values;
and S42, judging whether the absolute value average of the difference values is larger than a first preset threshold value, and closing a level converter for generating each path of clock control signal.
In this embodiment, when only one of the absolute difference values is greater than the first preset threshold, the absolute difference value may be an error determination caused by load fluctuation in the display panel and the level shifter is turned off, so that the display panel cannot normally operate.
And if the average value of the absolute values of the difference values is judged to be still larger than the first preset threshold value, the situation is most likely to be caused by short circuit in the display panel, and the level converter for generating each path of clock control signal is closed to protect the display panel.
Referring to fig. 6, as another embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, the step S40 includes:
s43, when any difference absolute value is larger than a first preset threshold value, obtaining a square value of the difference absolute value larger than the first preset threshold value;
s44, judging whether the square value is larger than a third preset threshold value, and closing a level converter for generating each path of clock control signal; wherein the third preset threshold is smaller than the first preset threshold.
In this embodiment, the third preset threshold may be a preset current value or a preset voltage value.
Because the absolute value of the difference is generally smaller than 1, the square value of the absolute value of the difference is smaller, and the square value of the smaller absolute value of the difference is compared with a third preset threshold smaller than the first preset threshold, so as to judge whether to close the level shifter.
Referring to fig. 7, as another embodiment of the overcurrent protection method of the present application, before step S50, the method further includes:
