Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
As described in the background art, the conventional display device has a problem of poor reliability. The inventor researches and finds that the reason of the problem is as follows:
referring to fig. 1, the display device includes a scan driving module 130 and a data driving module 140. When displaying a frame of image, the scan driving module 130 sequentially sends scan signals to corresponding scan lines to implement progressive scanning of the display unit. When each row of display units is scanned, the scanning driving module 130 controls the row of display units to be turned on, the data driving module 140 sends data signals to the corresponding data lines, and the data signals are written into the row of display units, so that the row of display units are controlled to emit light. For example, when the scan driving module 130 scans a first row of display units, the data driving module 140 sends data signals of the first row of display units to the data lines; when the scan driving module 130 scans the second row of display cells, the data driving module 140 sends data signals of the second row of display cells to the data lines, … …, and when the scan driving module 130 scans the last row of display cells, the data driving module 140 sends data signals of the last row of display cells to the data lines. Thus, the display device can display a complete image of one frame.
The scan driving module 130 includes a plurality of shift register units connected in cascade, and an output end of the shift register unit is used as an output end of the scan driving module 130. The output end of a shift register unit of one stage is electrically connected with the input end of a shift register unit of the next stage. Due to the poor recessiveness of the display device, the output of a shift register unit in one stage of the scan driving module 130 may be abnormal, and the input signal of the shift register unit in the next stage is also an abnormal signal, so that all the shift register units in the next stage of the faulty shift register unit output abnormal signals. Thus, in the region 120, the scan lines cannot normally turn on the display cells, and the data signals cannot be normally written into the display cells. Therefore, the display device has a failure image as shown in fig. 1, and for the instrument display device displaying the operation information or the traffic information, the driving safety is seriously affected, so that the prior art has a problem of poor reliability.
In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, the display device includes: a display panel 200, a scan driving module 300, a data driving module 400, and a control module 700. The scan driving module 300 includes a test signal terminal (e.g., a first test signal terminal 301 or a second test signal terminal 303), and the test signal terminal is electrically connected to the control module 700; the control module 700 is configured to control the scan driving module 300 to perform forward scanning in a 2k +1 th frame after detecting an abnormal signal at the test signal end, and control the data driving module 400 to output a forward data signal for displaying an image to the display panel 200; in the 2k +2 th frame, the driving mode of the scan driving module 300 is controlled to be reverse scan, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output an inverted data signal of a display image to the display panel 200; wherein k is a non-negative integer.
The test signal terminal is configured to output a test signal of the scan driving module 300, where the test signal may indicate whether the scan driving module 300 fails. For example, the test signal terminal is electrically connected to an output terminal 302 of the scan driving module 300, and when the output terminal 302 outputs an abnormal signal, the test signal output by the test signal output terminal is an abnormal signal. Illustratively, if there are situations such as missing pulses, abnormal number of pulses, excessive pulse voltage, too small pulse voltage, or malformed pulse shape in the pulses output by the output end 302 of the scan driving module 300, the output end 302 of the scan driving module 300 fails, and the scan driving module 300 fails.
The control module 700 is configured to receive a test signal from the scan driving module 300, control a scan mode of the scan driving module 300 according to the test signal, and control an output sequence of the data signal by the data driving module 400. Illustratively, when the output end 302 of the scan driving module 300 outputs an abnormal signal, if the scanning mode of the scan driving module 300 is forward scanning, specifically, along the column direction Y, the output end of the scan driving module 300 sequentially outputs scanning signals; correspondingly, the data driving module 400 outputs a forward data signal. In the area 210, the output ends of the scan driving module 300 are all outputting normally, and the area 210 displays images normally. When the output end 302 of the scan driving module 300 outputs an abnormal signal, if the display panel 200 is scanned reversely, specifically, in a direction opposite to the column direction Y, the output end of the scan driving module 300 sequentially outputs scan signals; correspondingly, the data driving module 400 outputs the inverted data signals, where the inverted data signals refer to that when one frame of image is displayed, the output sequence of the data signals is to output the data signals corresponding to the last row of display units along the column direction Y first, and finally output the data signals corresponding to the first row of display units along the column direction Y, that is, the output sequence of the inverted data signals is opposite to the output sequence of the forward data signals. In the area 220, the output of the scan driving module 300 is normal, and the area 220 displays the image normally.
Illustratively, the driving method of the display device is to detect a test signal of a test signal terminal. If the test signal is a normal signal, controlling the driving mode of the scan driving module 300 to be forward scan and controlling the data driving module 400 to output a forward data signal for displaying an image to the display panel 200 at each frame; alternatively, according to the normal signal, the driving method of the scan driving module 300 is controlled to be the reverse scan at every frame, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output the inverted data signal of the display image to the display panel 200. If the test signal is an abnormal signal, in the 2k +1 th frame (odd frame), the driving mode of the scan driving module 300 is controlled to be forward scan, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output a forward data signal for displaying an image to the display panel 200; in the 2k +2 th frame (even frame), the driving manner of the scan driving module 300 is controlled to be the reverse scan, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output the inverted data signal of the display image to the display panel 200.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the scan driving module 300 is configured to include a test signal end, the test signal end is electrically connected to the control module 700, and after an abnormal signal of the test signal end is detected, the driving manner of the display device may be switched such that, in two adjacent frames, the forward scanning and the reverse scanning are alternately performed, the two frames of failure images are combined into a substantially complete frame of image, and only the failure output end 302 displays a failure (for example, a bright line or a dark line). Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the invention avoids the condition that the output of the rear-stage output end of the output end is abnormal because the output of one output end of the scanning driving circuit is abnormal. Therefore, when the scan driving module 300 outputs an abnormal signal, the embodiment of the present invention can continuously display the whole image, thereby improving the reliability of the display device and being beneficial to improving the safety of the display device when the display device is applied to a vehicle.
With continued reference to fig. 2, on the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the scan driving module 300 includes a first scan driving module 310 and a second scan driving module 320; the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 are respectively disposed at two sides of a display area (the display area includes an area 210 and an area 220 is exemplarily shown in fig. 2) of the display panel 200; the first scan driving module 310 includes a first test signal terminal 301, and the second scan driving module 320 includes a second test signal terminal 303; the first test signal terminal 301 and the second test signal terminal 303 are electrically connected to the control module 700.
The corresponding output ends of the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 are connected to the same scan line, and respectively transmit the same scan signal to the same scan line. The first test signal terminal 301 may be electrically connected to an output terminal of the first scan driving module 310 to output a test signal of the first scan driving module 310; the second test signal terminal 302 may be electrically connected to an output terminal of the second scan driving module 320 to output a test signal of the second scan driving module 320. The first test signal terminal 301 and the second test signal terminal 303 may be arranged in the same manner or in different manners. Illustratively, the first test signal terminal 301 is electrically connected to the output terminal 302 of the first scan driving module 310, and the second test signal terminal 303 is electrically connected to the output terminal 304 of the second scan driving module 320.
Illustratively, the display device is driven by detecting a test signal of the first test signal terminal 301 and a test signal of the second test signal terminal 303; if the test signal of the first test signal terminal 301 is an abnormal signal or the test signal of the second test signal terminal 303 is an abnormal signal, in the 2k +1 th frame, the driving modes of the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 are controlled to be forward scanning, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output a forward data signal for displaying an image to the display panel 200; in the 2k +2 th frame, the driving manner of the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 is controlled to be the reverse scan, and the data driving module 400 is controlled to output the inverted data signal of the display image to the display panel 200.
In one aspect, the scan driving module 300 according to the embodiment of the invention includes the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320, so as to enhance the uniformity of the scan signals at two ends of the scan line and facilitate to improve the uniformity of the turn-on time of the display unit. On the other hand, since the output terminals of the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 are electrically connected, the abnormal signal output by the first scan driving module 310 will affect the second scan driving module 320, and the abnormal signal output by the second scan driving module 320 will also affect the first scan driving module 310. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first scan driving module 310 and the second scan driving module 320 both include a test signal end, and when the first scan driving module 310 outputs an abnormal signal, the first test signal end 301 and the second test signal end 303 both output an abnormal signal, and the control module 700 switches the driving mode according to the abnormal signal. The embodiment of the invention avoids the phenomenon that the driving mode cannot be switched due to poor receiving of one receiving end of the control module 700, and improves the accuracy of abnormal signal detection and the reliability of the control module 700.
It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiments, the control module 700 may be separately provided, or may be integrated with other driving chips in the display device, and the invention is not limited thereto.

The TCON controls the scan mode of the scan driving module 300 and the sequence of the data signals output by the data driving module 400 according to the test signals output by the scan driving module 300. In the embodiment of the present invention, the control module 700 is integrated on the basis of the existing TCON, no additional device is required, and only the number of the test signal terminals 301 and the number of the routing lines of the control module 700 are increased, so that the frame width of the display device is not increased.
