Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of 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, when the display frames of the conventional display panel are switched, the frame of the previous display frame does not disappear immediately, the visual effect of the conventional display panel and the frame of the next display frame appear simultaneously, and the image sticking phenomenon exists, and the reason for the image sticking phenomenon is related to the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor in the pixel circuit. Due to the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor, the display panels displaying different display gray scales have different luminance when being switched to the same display gray scale, namely, the driving current generated by the driving transistor has different magnitudes. FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating a driving current outputted from a driving transistor in a conventional image sticking phenomenon. Referring to fig. 1, a dashed line 100 is a variation of a driving current when the display screen is switched from a maximum gray level (the maximum gray level is L255, i.e., 255 gray levels in fig. 1) to an intermediate gray level (the intermediate gray level is 48 gray levels in fig. 1), and a solid line 200 is a variation of the driving current when the display screen is switched from a minimum gray level (the minimum gray level is L0, i.e., 0 gray level in fig. 1) to the same intermediate gray level. When the display frame is switched from the maximum gray scale to the intermediate gray scale, the driving current output by the driving transistor is reduced, and when the display frame is switched from the minimum gray scale to the intermediate gray scale, the driving current output by the driving transistor is increased; as can be seen from fig. 1, the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor causes the driving current to be inconsistent when the display screen is switched from the maximum gray scale to the intermediate gray scale and from the minimum gray scale to the same intermediate gray scale, that is, the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor causes the characteristic shift degrees of the driving transistor to be inconsistent under different data voltages, so that the brightness difference exists between the maximum gray scale and the minimum gray scale and the same intermediate gray scale, and the image sticking phenomenon occurs.
In view of the above, embodiments of the present invention provide a pixel circuit and a driving method thereof, in which gray scale data of the pixel circuit in two adjacent display frames is obtained, and a data voltage corresponding to a black insertion gray scale is calculated according to gray scale data corresponding to at least a previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames, and in a black insertion stage between the two adjacent display frames, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written into a gate of a driving transistor of the pixel circuit, and a first power voltage is written into a first pole of the driving transistor, that is, a bias voltage is applied to the driving transistor after a display frame of the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames is displayed, so as to reset a hysteresis of the driving transistor, so as to reduce a hysteresis effect caused by a change in the data voltage written into the gate of the driving transistor when different gray scale frames are switched, and thus, the problem of image sticking can be improved. In addition, when writing the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale into the gate of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit and writing the first power supply voltage into the first pole of the driving transistor, a turn-off control signal is provided for the light-emitting control module, so that the light-emitting module is in a non-light-emitting state, and the adverse effect on the display effect caused by the fact that the light-emitting module is stolen to be bright in the black insertion stage is avoided.
The above is the core idea of the present invention, and the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a driving method of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the driving method shown in fig. 2 can be used for driving the pixel circuit shown in fig. 3, and referring to fig. 2 and 3, the driving method includes:
s110, gray scale data of the pixel circuit in two adjacent display frames are obtained, wherein the gray scale data comprise display gray scales and corresponding data voltages.
The display frame is usually displayed frame by frame, and the display frame may refer to a frame for displaying the image. When the pixel circuit is driven, each frame can be a display frame; in other embodiments of the present invention, a black frame insertion may be further included, and the black frame insertion is not used for displaying a picture, unlike the display frame.
Specifically, the pixel circuit includes at least a data writing phase and a light emitting phase in normal operation. In the data writing stage, the data voltage writing module 120 and the compensation module 150 are controlled to be turned on according to the first scanning signal output by the first scanning signal terminal Scan1, the data voltage Vdata is written to the gate of the driving transistor TD and one end of the storage module 130 connected to the gate of the driving transistor TD through the data voltage writing module 120, the driving transistor TD and the compensation module 150, the process is also a process of charging the storage module 130, and after the charging is completed, the data voltage Vdata is stored in the storage module 130. In the light emitting stage, the light emitting control module 160 is controlled to be turned on according to the light emitting control signal EM, so that the driving transistor TD generates a driving signal, such as a current signal, according to the voltage written by the gate thereof, and the driving transistor TD generates a driving current to drive the light emitting module 140 to emit light. When the pixel circuit displays a picture at a certain frequency, after a display frame is completed, the display of the next display frame is performed. The method includes acquiring gray scale data of a pixel circuit in two adjacent display frames, wherein the gray scale data includes display gray scales and data voltages corresponding to the display gray scales, for example, continuously receiving display frames of an nth display frame and an N +1 th display frame to acquire the gray scale data of the pixel circuit in the nth display frame and the N +1 th display frame.
S120, calculating the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale according to the gray scale data corresponding to at least the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames.
Specifically, after gray scale data of the pixel circuit in two adjacent display frames are acquired, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is calculated according to the acquired gray scale data. The black insertion gray level refers to another display gray level inserted between two adjacent display gray levels, so that after the display of the previous display frame is completed, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray level is written into the gate of the driving transistor TD to change the gate voltage of the driving transistor TD. The data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale may be calculated according to gray scale data corresponding to a previous display frame, or may be calculated according to gray scale data corresponding to a previous display frame and a subsequent display frame.
S130, in the black insertion stage between two adjacent display frames, writing data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale into the grid electrode of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit, writing first power voltage into the first pole of the driving transistor, and providing a turn-off control signal for a light-emitting control module in the pixel circuit.
Specifically, when the pixel circuit normally operates, the pixel circuit further includes a black insertion stage, where the black insertion stage is interposed between two adjacent display frames, that is, after a previous display frame of the two adjacent display frames is ended and before a next frame of the two adjacent display frames is started, to write a data voltage corresponding to a black insertion gray scale to the gate of the driving transistor TD, and write a first power voltage VDD to the first pole of the driving transistor TD, so as to apply a bias voltage to the gate and the first pole of the driving transistor TD, where the bias voltage Vgs0 is VGn-VDD, where VGn represents a data voltage corresponding to a black insertion gray scale, and as described in step 120, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale may be calculated from gray scale data corresponding to a previous display frame, or the driving transistor TD may be calculated from gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame and the next display frame. The data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is obtained according to the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame or the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame and the next display frame, and the first power voltage VDD is a fixed voltage, so that the bias voltage applied to the driving transistor in the black insertion stage is obtained according to the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame or the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame and the next display frame, and the hysteresis of the driving transistor is reset according to the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame of the pixel circuit or the bias voltage obtained according to the gray scale data corresponding to the previous display frame and the next display frame, so that the improvement of the afterimage is facilitated.
And in the black insertion stage, the light-emitting control module 160 in the pixel circuit is controlled to be turned off, so that the light-emitting module 140 does not emit light in the black insertion stage, and adverse effects on the display effect caused by the lighting of the light-emitting module in the black insertion stage (lighting in non-light-emitting stages except for the light-emitting stage is in lighting stealing mode) are avoided. Illustratively, in the data writing phase, the data voltage writing module 120 and the compensation module 150 are controlled to be turned on, the data voltage Vdata is written to the gate of the driving transistor TD through the data voltage writing module 120, the driving transistor TD and the compensation module 150 and is written to one end of the memory module 130 connected to the gate of the driving transistor TD, and the data voltage Vdata is stored in the memory module 130. In the light emitting stage, the light emitting control module 160 is controlled to be turned on according to the light emitting control signal EM, and the driving transistor TD generates a driving current to drive the light emitting module 140 to emit light. To this end, the display of one display frame (e.g., the nth display frame) is completed, and the pixel circuit enters the black insertion stage before the subsequent display frame (e.g., the N +1 th display frame) is performed. In the black insertion stage, the data voltage writing module 120 is controlled to be turned on, and the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written to the gate of the driving transistor TD through the data voltage writing module 120, the driving transistor TD and the compensation module 150, wherein the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale may be calculated according to the gray scale data corresponding to at least the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames. After writing the data voltage corresponding to the black inserted gray scale into the gate of the driving transistor TD, the first voltage writing module 170 is controlled to be turned on, and the first power voltage VDD is written into the first pole of the driving transistor TD. In the black insertion stage, since the light emitting module 140 does not emit light because the turn-off control signal is provided to the light emitting control module 160, the pixel circuit resumes normal display when a subsequent display frame is displayed. Therefore, no matter what the data voltage corresponding to the previous display frame is, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written into the gate of the driving transistor TD in the black insertion stage between two adjacent display frames, so that when the picture of the next display frame is displayed, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written into the gate of the driving transistor TD, and further, when the pictures with different gray scales are switched, the phenomenon of image sticking caused by the inconsistent offset characteristics of the driving transistor TD due to the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor TD is reduced.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the gray scale data of the pixel circuit in two adjacent display frames are obtained, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is calculated according to the gray scale data corresponding to at least the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written into the grid electrode of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit in the black insertion stage between the two adjacent display frames, and the first power supply voltage is written into the first pole of the driving transistor, namely, the bias voltage is applied to the driving transistor after the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames displays the picture, so that the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor is reset, the hysteresis effect caused by the change of the data voltage written into the grid electrode of the driving transistor in the switching of different gray scale pictures is reduced, and the problem of image sticking can be improved. In addition, when writing the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale into the gate of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit and writing the first power voltage into the first pole of the driving transistor, the turn-off control signal is provided to the light-emitting control module 160, so that the light-emitting module 140 is in a non-light-emitting state, and the adverse effect on the display effect caused by the lighting of the light-emitting module during the black insertion stage is avoided.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another driving method for a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the driving method is also applicable to the pixel circuit shown in fig. 3, and on the basis of the foregoing technical solution, referring to fig. 4, the driving method for a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

S220, calculating the black insertion gray scale according to the gray scale data corresponding to the pixel circuit in the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames.
And S230, determining the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale according to the black insertion gray scale.
Specifically, after the pixel circuit completes the display frame of the previous display frame, a black insertion stage is set before the display of the next display frame, and a data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is written into the driving transistor TD in the black insertion stage. Therefore, the black insertion gray scale can be calculated according to the display gray scale corresponding to the pixel circuit in the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames, and then the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is calculated according to the black insertion gray scale, wherein the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is inversely related to the data voltage corresponding to the pixel circuit in the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames, and optionally, the black insertion gray scale is equal to the difference value between the maximum gray scale and the display gray scale of the pixel circuit in the previous display frame in the two adjacent display frames. Illustratively, the Gray scale data of the pixel circuit at the nth display frame and the (N + 1) th display frame are obtained, including the display Gray scales of the nth display frame and the (N + 1) th display frame and corresponding data voltages, and the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion Gray scale may be represented as Gray (gn) ═ Gray (Gray max) -Gray (nth display frame), where Gray (gn) is the black insertion Gray scale, Gray (Gray max) is the maximum Gray scale, for example, the maximum Gray scale is 255 Gray scale, and Gray (nth display frame) is the display Gray scale of the nth display frame. After the black insertion gray level is obtained, the Data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray level can be further determined according to the black insertion gray level, and Data (gn) Data (gray) -Data (nth display frame) can be known from the relationship between the gray level and the Data voltage. For example, when the maximum gray scale is 255 gray scales and the gray scale of the nth frame display frame is 232 gray scales, the black insertion gray scale is 23 gray scales according to the above formula, that is, the data voltage corresponding to the black insertion gray scale is the data voltage corresponding to the 23 gray scale.
