Description

Time schedule controller, control method thereof and display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a time schedule controller, a control method thereof and a display device.
Background
With the development of display technology, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) devices have excellent characteristics of low voltage, low power consumption, long lifetime, no radiation, thinness, etc., and are unique among flat display devices, becoming a display device which is mature in development, wide in application range, industrialized and still rapidly developed. The time schedule controller is one of the core parts of the liquid crystal panel control system and plays a key role in the normal work of the liquid crystal display system. It receives and processes the output signal of the preceding stage circuit, and generates correct control time sequence to control the normal operation of the liquid crystal panel and the system circuit, and plays the role of 'communicating' the preceding stage circuit and the liquid crystal panel. In the conventional liquid crystal display panel, due to factors such as driving and characteristics of the liquid crystal display panel, displayed white field color coordinates are different to different degrees. For the white field color coordinate difference of the liquid crystal display device, if corresponding white balance adjustment is not performed, the color display effects of different liquid crystal display panels can be greatly different. Therefore, in the production process of the liquid crystal display panel, white balance tracking correction is usually performed, and white balance adjustment is performed on the liquid crystal panels through the white balance lookup table so that the colors displayed by each liquid crystal panel tend to be consistent. The response speed of liquid crystal has been a problem of the liquid crystal panel that needs to be improved due to the liquid crystal characteristics of the liquid crystal panel. In order to improve the display effect of dynamic images and reduce the dynamic smear phenomenon and response time, the liquid crystal panel often adopts an overdrive technique to shorten the liquid crystal rotation time, so that the display images are quickly converted into target images. In order to realize overdrive, an overdrive lookup table needs to be preset, so that an overdrive gray scale can be found from the overdrive lookup table according to a source gray scale and a target gray scale, and then the liquid crystal is driven to turn over by a driving voltage corresponding to the overdrive gray scale, so that the overdrive is realized.
Existing timing controllers typically support a fixed pixel clock frequency, with variations in refresh frequency supported by adjusting the vertical blanking time. When the vertical blanking time of the timing controller is changed, it is necessary to switch setting values of parameters of different overdrive, white balance, or gamma curves. In order to increase the added value of the product, a large number of tables (for example, 10 parts or more) are usually stored, thereby greatly improving the quality of the product. Thus, the time for loading data from the memory is prolonged when correspondingly powered on, thereby resulting in prolonged boot time.
