Fig. 1 is the circuit box schematic diagram according to the execution method for managing temperature of the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, Sequence controller 11 can control display panel drive 12 to export multiple pixel voltages to display panel 13.It is driven according to display panel The driving operation of dynamic device 12, display panel 13 can show image.According to design requirement, display panel 13 can be liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) panel, Organic Light Emitting Diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED) display panel, electrophoresis showed (Electro-Phoretic Display, EPD) panel or Plasmia indicating panel (Plasma Display Panel, PDP).
Sequence controller 11 includes detection circuit 111 and control circuit 112.Detection circuit 111 can detect display panel Whether 13 former display picture (original display frame) 14 has specific pixel pattern (specific pixel pattern).Control circuit 112 is coupled to detection circuit 111.Control circuit 112 can decide whether to carry out original display picture 14 Grayscale adjustment operation, to obtain adjusted display picture 15.Adjusted display picture 15 can be supplied to display by control circuit 112 To avoid display panel drive 12 excess temperature event occurs for panel driver 12.When control circuit 112 decides not to perform grey contrast When whole operation, original display picture 14 can be supplied to display panel drive 12 and be used as adjusted display picture by control circuit 112 15。
For example, Fig. 2 is the circuit box schematic diagram of the subpixel configuration framework of explanatory diagram 1.As shown in Fig. 2, display Panel 13 may include the pixel array that multiple sub-pixels (such as sub-pixel 131~139 shown in Fig. 2) are formed.Implement shown in Fig. 2 In example, display panel drive 12 may include source electrode driver 121 and gate drivers 122.Sequence controller 11 is coupled to source Driver 121 and gate drivers 122.Gate drivers 122 can be sequentially provided grid under the control of sequence controller 11 Driving signal (scanning signal) to gate lines G 1, G2, G3 ..., Gm, (do not shown with opening the transistor of corresponding sub-pixel Out).Based on the timing of the exported gate drive signal of gate drivers 122, source electrode driver 121 provides corresponding data in due course Driving signal to data line D1, D2, D3 ..., Dn, corresponding sub-pixel is charged into pixel voltage appropriate.Therefore, it shows Show that the sub-pixel 131~139 of panel 13 can show different grayscale values by the adjustment of pixel voltage.
Whether the former display picture 14 that sequence controller 11 can monitor display panel 13 has specific pixel pattern.The spy Determining pattern of pixels may include the first sub-pixel and the second son adjacent on the same data line of display panel 13 and in timing Pixel, the grayscale value of the first sub-pixel has highest grayscale value, and the grayscale value of the second sub-pixel has minimum gray scale value.To scheme For data line D1 shown in 2 because sub-pixel 131 and sub-pixel 132 are connected to same data line D1, and sub-pixel 131 with Sub-pixel 132 is adjacent on driver' s timing, therefore sub-pixel 131 can be considered as first sub-pixel, and sub-pixel 132 can be with It is considered as second sub-pixel.Alternatively, sub-pixel 132 can be considered as first sub-pixel, and sub-pixel 131 can be considered as institute State the second sub-pixel.In extreme pattern of pixels example, what the odd-numbered grid line of display panel 13 shown in Fig. 2 was connected All pixels can be considered as first sub-pixel, and all pixels that even-numbered grid line is connected can be considered as described Two sub-pixels.Or all pixels that are connected of even-numbered grid line can be considered as first sub-pixel, and odd number The all pixels that grid line is connected can be considered as second sub-pixel.In original display picture 14, when first son The grayscale value of pixel be highest grayscale value, and the grayscale value of second sub-pixel be minimum gray scale value when, original display picture 14 It can be judged as that there is the specific pixel pattern.
When the detection circuit 111 of sequence controller 11 detects that former display picture 14 has the specific pixel pattern, The control circuit 112 of sequence controller 11 will carry out grayscale adjustment operation, to obtain adjusted display picture 15.The ash contrast Whole operation includes the first strategy and/or is the second strategy.Control circuit 112 can be tactful wherein using the first strategy and second One or all, to adjust the former display picture 14 with the specific pixel pattern.First strategy are as follows: turn described the down The grayscale value of one sub-pixel and the grayscale value for tuning up second sub-pixel.Second strategy are as follows: turn the described first sub- picture down The grayscale value of element is to some low grayscale value.The low grayscale value can be determined depending on design requirement.For example, the low grayscale value It can be a grayscale value in grayscale value 0~10.In further embodiments, the low grayscale value can be grayscale value 230 A grayscale value in~250.The present embodiment will assume that the low grayscale value is 240.
Illustrate the first implementation of strategies example herein.By taking data line D1 as an example, it is assumed that the grayscale value of sub-pixel 131 is most High gray value (such as 255), and the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132 is minimum gray scale value (such as 0).Institute can be used in control circuit 112 It states the first strategy and the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132 grayscale value of sub-pixel 131 and is tuned up to turn down with identical step amount.The step Rank amount can be determined depending on design requirement.Control circuit 112 can disposably adjust the grayscale value of sub-pixel, such as by sub-pixel 131 grayscale value is reduced to first object grayscale value (such as 240) by 255, and the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132 is increased by 0 To the second target gray scale value (such as 15).Control circuit 112 can also during multiple pictures the picture of muptiple-use adjustment (gradual change) The grayscale value of element, such as gradually reduce the grayscale value of sub-pixel 131 to 250,245,240 by 255 during different pictures, with And the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132 is stepped up by 0 to 5,10,15 during different pictures.
Illustrate the second implementation of strategies example herein.Original can be shown picture by the control circuit 112 of sequence controller 11 Face 14 is divided into multiple blocks, and wherein each of these blocks is with multiple pixels.The control circuit 112 of sequence controller 11 The grayscale value of one sub-pixel of each block of these blocks can be turned down to some low grayscale value.For example, During the same picture, control circuit 112 can be by the grayscale value of a sub-pixel in each block from most high ash Rank value (such as 255) is changed to low grayscale value (such as 240), but does not change the grayscale of other sub-pixels in each block Value.For the display panel 13 shown in Fig. 2, it is assumed that sub-pixel 131~139 is divided into the same block, wherein showing in original In picture 14, the grayscale value of sub-pixel 131,134,137,133,136,139 is highest grayscale value (such as 255), and sub-pixel 132,135,138 grayscale value is minimum gray scale value (such as 0).The control circuit 112 of sequence controller 11 can be from sub-pixel The sub-pixel with highest grayscale value, such as selection sub-pixel 131 are chosen at random in 131~139.In the same picture phase Between in, the grayscale value of sub-pixel 131 can be reduced to 240 by 255 by control circuit 112, but not changed in the same block Other sub-pixels 132~139 grayscale value, even if also the grayscale value of sub-pixel 134,137,133,136,139 remains original Grayscale value 255, and the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132,135,138 is made to remain former grayscale value 0.And so on, in next picture In period, control circuit 112 can choose at random another sub-pixel with highest grayscale value from sub-pixel 131~139, Such as selection sub-pixel 136.Then the grayscale value of chosen sub-pixel 136 is reduced to 240 by 255, but do not changed same The grayscale value of other sub-pixels in a block, even if also the grayscale value of sub-pixel 131,134,137,133,139 remains original Grayscale value 255, and the grayscale value of sub-pixel 132,135,138 is made to remain former grayscale value 0.
Fig. 3 is the flow diagram according to the method for managing temperature of the display panel drive of the embodiment of the present invention.Please Referring to Fig.1 with Fig. 3, in step S10 (detecting step), sequence controller 11 can be by detection circuit 111 to display panel 13 Former display picture 14 detected, judge the former display picture 14 with the presence or absence of specific pixel pattern to enter step S20. The specific pixel pattern includes adjacent the first sub-pixel and the on the same data line of display panel 13 and in timing Two sub-pixels, the grayscale value of first sub-pixel has highest grayscale value, and the grayscale value of second sub-pixel has most Low grayscale value.The implementation detail of step S10 and step S20 is referred in Fig. 1 and embodiment illustrated in fig. 2 about detection circuit 111 related description is analogized, and so it will not be repeated.
When sequence controller 11 detects that former display picture 14 does not have the specific pixel pattern, (step S20's sentences Disconnected result is "No"), original display picture 14 can be supplied to display surface as adjusted display picture 15 by sequence controller 11 Sheet drive 12.When sequence controller 11 detects that former display picture 14 has the specific pixel pattern, (step S20's sentences Disconnected result is "Yes"), sequence controller 11 will carry out grayscale adjustment operation (step S30, grayscale value adjustment to original display picture 14 Step), to obtain adjusted display picture 15, and adjusted display picture 15 is supplied to display panel drive 12, with Avoid display panel drive 12 that excess temperature event occurs.The implementation detail of step S30 is referred to Fig. 1 and embodiment illustrated in fig. 2 In analogize about the related description of control circuit 112, so it will not be repeated.
In another embodiment, whether the detection circuit 111 of sequence controller 11 is in addition to detecting the specific pixel pattern It is presented in former display picture 14, further detects color pattern shown by specific pixel pattern, and sequence controller 11 Control circuit 112 can then select the strategy of grayscale adjustment operation according to the color pattern.
For example, Fig. 4 A (is marked in Figure 4 A according to display panel 13 shown in another embodiment of the present invention explanatory diagram 1 It is shown as the schematic diagram of subpixel configuration framework 1300).Fig. 4 B-4C is to illustrate grayscale adjustable strategies according to the embodiment of the present invention Schematic diagram.To ask schema succinct, the display panel 1300 of Fig. 4 A only shows the 1~G3 of gate lines G and partial number of part According to line D1~D7.Display panel 1300 include with array manner arrangement multiple red sub-pixel R, multiple green sub-pixels G with Multiple blue subpixels B.1~G3 of gate lines G is connected separately with 6 sub-pixels, and this 6 sub-pixels are according to red sub-pixel R, the sequence arrangement of green sub-pixels G, blue subpixels B.In Fig. 4 A, the sign symbol for being shown in each sub-pixel is respectively indicated The driving voltage of positive polarity and negative polarity.For liquid crystal display panel, if continuing the voltage of identical polar (polarity) It is applied to pixel electrode, liquid crystal molecule may in turn result in the image flicker or dimmed of display picture there is a phenomenon where polarizing. Therefore, the polarity (as shown in the sign symbol in Fig. 4 A) of driving voltage would generally be periodically changed in liquid crystal display panel, with Maintain display quality.
In the facility environment of " display panel 1300 is as display panel 13 shown in Fig. 1 shown in application drawing 4A ", the spy Determining pattern of pixels can be the color pattern of " black and white horizontal line is alternate " and/or is the color sample of " the green vertical line of fuchsin is alternate " Formula.The color pattern of " black and white horizontal line is alternate " refers to that odd-numbered horizontal line is black line and even-numbered horizontal line is White line or odd-numbered horizontal line are white line and even-numbered horizontal line is black line, as shown in Figure 4 B.It is described that " fuchsin is green to hang down Straight line is alternate " color pattern refer to that odd-numbered vertical line is fuchsin (or pinkish red, magenta) line and even-numbered hangs down Straight line is green line or odd-numbered vertical line is green line and even-numbered vertical line is magenta line, as shown in Figure 4 C.Timing control Whether the detection circuit 111 of device 11 processed can detecte former display picture 14 according to the color pattern for having specific pixel pattern.
Fig. 4 B shows an example of the grayscale combination that each sub-pixel is presented in display panel 1300 shown in Fig. 4 A. It is combined based on grayscale shown in Fig. 4 B, original shown in Fig. 4 B shows that picture 141 is the picture of one " black and white horizontal line is alternate ".It please refers to Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, when original shows that color pattern shown in Fig. 4 B is presented in picture 14 (being denoted as 141 in figure 4b), timing control Device 11, which will test former display picture 141, has the specific pixel pattern arranged along grid line (horizontal line) direction.For example, Pixel P1~P3 shown in Fig. 4 B respectively includes 1 red sub-pixel R, 1 green sub-pixels G and 1 blue subpixels B.Such as figure Shown in 4B, the RGB grayscale value of pixel P1 and pixel P3 are (255,255,255), therefore pixel P1 and pixel P3 can all be shown White.The RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 is (0,0,0), therefore pixel P2 can show black.Therefore, if sequence controller 11 detects Specific pixel pattern composed by white wire and black line is just upwardly formed in grid line (horizontal line) to original display picture 141 When, indicate that excess temperature event may occur for the source electrode driver 121 (display panel drive 12) in Fig. 2.At this point, timing control Device 11 need to show that picture 141 carries out grayscale adjustment operation to original shown in Fig. 4 B, thus start cooling mechanism.The grayscale adjustment behaviour The implementation detail of work is referred to the related description of Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and embodiment illustrated in fig. 3 to analogize.
Identical step amount can be used to adjust the grayscale value of each sub-pixel in specific pixel pattern in the grayscale adjustment operation. For pixel P1 and pixel P2 shown in Fig. 4 B, sequence controller 11 can be by the RGB grayscale value of pixel P1 by highest grayscale value (255,255,255) are reduced to first object grayscale value, such as grayscale value (160,160,160).In addition to this, sequence controller The RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 can be also increased to the second target gray scale value, such as grayscale value by minimum gray scale value (0,0,0) by 11 (95,95,95).The numerical value 0,95,160 and 255 is only exemplary citing, and the embodiment party of the present embodiment should not be limited with this Formula.Other pixels in display panel 1300 shown in Fig. 4 A the grayscale adjustment operation be referred to pixel P1 shown in Fig. 4 B with The related description of pixel P2 is analogized, and so it will not be repeated.
In addition, in order to avoid human eye discovers image gray-scale level adjustment, sequence controller 11 can set figure in some application examples The grayscale value (255,255,255) of each sub-pixel is via gradual change during multiple pictures to first object ash in pixel P1 shown in 4B Rank value, and in pixel P2 shown in Fig. 4 B each sub-pixel grayscale value (0,0,0) via gradual change during the multiple picture to Two target gray scale values.For example, sequence controller 11 can set the grayscale value of each sub-pixel in pixel P1 and pixel P2 via 3 Gradual change is to target gray scale value during a picture.The target gray scale value can be determined according to design requirement.It is assumed herein that described Target gray scale value is (210,210,210) and (15,15,15).In first picture (frame), it is assumed that the RGB ash of pixel P1 Rank value is (255,255,255), and the RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 is (0,0,0).Sequence controller 11 can be in the second screen The RGB grayscale value of pixel P1 is adjusted to (220,220,220), and the RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 is adjusted to (5,5,5).It connects , in the third screen, the RGB grayscale value of pixel P1 is adjusted to (215,215,215), and the RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 It is adjusted to (10,10,10).Finally, in the 4th picture, the RGB grayscale value of pixel P1 be adjusted to (210,210, 210), and the RGB grayscale value of pixel P2 is adjusted to (15,15,15).
