Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a display panel of the present application, where the display panel may be an OLED display panel, a Micro-OLED display panel, or the like. The display panel may include: a first display area AA1, a second display area AA2, and a control circuit (not shown). In the present embodiment, the position of the second display area AA2 is used to correspond to the position of an optical element such as a camera. Preferably, the light transmittance of the second display area AA2 is greater than that of the first display area AA 1.
The first display area AA1 includes a plurality of first sub-pixels 10, and at least one of the plurality of first sub-pixels 10 is used as the first sampling sub-pixel 100. The second display area AA2 includes a plurality of second sub-pixels 12, and at least one of the plurality of second sub-pixels 12 is used as the second sampling sub-pixel 120. The first sampling sub-pixel 100 performs a display function compared to the non-sampled first sub-pixel 10, except that the first sampling sub-pixel 100 may further sample the electrical signal. Similarly, the second sampling sub-pixel 120 performs a display function as compared to the non-sampled second sub-pixel 12, except that the second sampling sub-pixel 120 can further sample the electrical signal. The control circuit is used for obtaining the electrical signal of the first sampling sub-pixel 100 and the electrical signal of the second sampling sub-pixel 120, and performing a correction operation according to the electrical signal of the first sampling sub-pixel 100 and the electrical signal of the second sampling sub-pixel 120, so as to match the gray-scale luminance of the first display area AA1 and the gray-scale luminance of the second display area AA 2. The gray scale brightness matching means that when the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 display the same gray scale image, the brightness difference between the two is very small, even the brightness difference between the two is 0. In addition, the present application is not limited to the positions of the first sampling sub-pixel 100 and the second sampling sub-pixel 120; for example, the position of the sub-pixel having a large space where the wiring can be arranged around can be set as the sampling sub-pixel from the viewpoint of the wiring.
By the method, the gray scale brightness difference between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 can be automatically corrected at any time, and compared with the correction only once when the display panel leaves a factory, the flexibility is higher, and the display effect of the display panel is better; in addition, the cost of the first sampling sub-pixel 100, the second sampling sub-pixel 120 and the control circuit is low, the required correction time is short, and the correction efficiency is high.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a control circuit. The control circuit 14 includes a comparator 140 and a corrector 142. The comparator 140 is configured to obtain a first electrical signal of the first sampling sub-pixel 100 at least at one preset gray level and a second electrical signal of the second sampling sub-pixel 120 at least at one preset gray level, and obtain the calibration parameter β according to the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal corresponding to the same gray level; the corrector 142 is configured to update the driving voltage Vdate (i.e., the data voltage) of the second display area AA2 at each gray-scale value according to the calibration parameter β, so as to drive the second sub-pixel 12 in the second display area AA2 by using the updated driving voltage Vdate, so that the gray-scale luminance of the first display area AA1 and the gray-scale luminance of the second display area AA2 are matched. The first electrical signal and the second electrical signal compared by the comparator 140 may be a current signal or a voltage signal; in this embodiment, the corrector 142 may correct the driving voltage, and in other embodiments, the corrector 142 may also correct the power voltage of each gray scale. Generally, the brightness is related to the current magnitude and the light-emitting time duty ratio, and the current magnitude is related to the driving voltage Vdata. The mode of correcting the brightness by correcting the driving voltage Vdata is convenient and easy to realize.
In an application scenario, the selection of the preset gray levels involved in the comparison process of the comparator 140 may be selected according to actual requirements, for example, the preset gray levels are L255, L128, L64, L32, L8, and so on. For example, the gray scale with a smaller value may be selected as the predetermined gray scale as far as possible, because the brightness difference between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 is more obvious when the gray scale is low, and the accuracy of the calibration of the control circuit 14 can be improved by selecting the low gray scale as the predetermined gray scale.
In another application scenario, the number of the preset grayscales may be at least two. The first electrical signal and the second electrical signal may be current signals, and the comparator 140 may use a ratio of the first electrical signal of the first sampling sub-pixel 100 at a predetermined gray level to the second electrical signal of the second sampling sub-pixel 120 at the predetermined gray level as the calibration parameter β; the corrector 142 may use the product of the original driving voltage of the second sampling sub-pixel 120 at the preset gray level and the calibration parameter β as the updated driving voltage.
After the comparator 140 and the corrector 142 obtain the updated driving voltages at the predetermined gray levels, for the driving voltages at other uncorrected gray levels, the other uncorrected driving voltages can be calculated by using the driving voltages at the corrected gray levels.
For example, the comparator 140 is further configured to obtain a first updated driving voltage and a first original driving voltage of the second sub-pixel 12 under the first corrected gray scale, and a second updated driving voltage and a second original driving voltage of the second sub-pixel 12 under the second corrected gray scale, where the current gray scale to be corrected is located between the first corrected gray scale and the second corrected gray scale; obtaining calibration parameters corresponding to the current gray scale to be corrected according to the first updated driving voltage, the first original driving voltage, the second updated driving voltage and the second original driving voltage; for example, a first ratio of the first updated driving voltage to the first original driving voltage and a second ratio of the second updated driving voltage to the second original driving voltage may be obtained; and taking half of the sum of the first ratio and the second ratio as a calibration parameter. The corrector 142 is further configured to use a product of the calibration parameter and the original driving voltage of the second sub-pixel 12 at the current gray scale to be corrected as the updated driving voltage, wherein the first corrected gray scale and the second corrected gray scale may be preset gray scales or non-preset gray scales. The above process is formulated as follows:
Vc_cal=(Va_cal/Va_old+Vb_cal/Vb_old)/2*Vc_old;
wherein a and b are known adjacent corrected gray scales, and c is a gray scale to be corrected between a and b; va _ cal is the update drive voltage after the correction of the gradation a, and Vb _ cal is the update drive voltage after the correction of the gradation b; va _ old is the original driving voltage before correction of the gray scale a, and Vb _ old is the original driving voltage before correction of the gray scale b; vc _ cal is the updated driving voltage after the correction of the gray scale c, and Vc _ old is the original driving voltage before the correction of the gray scale c.
Of course, in another application scenario, the driving voltages at other uncorrected gray levels can be corrected in other ways. For example, the curve relationship between the calibration parameters at a plurality of preset gray levels and the preset gray levels can be obtained, then the calibration parameters at other gray levels can be obtained according to the curve relationship, and then the subsequent driving voltage correction can be performed by using the calibration parameters.
In another embodiment, please refer to fig. 3, wherein fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the first sub-pixel or the second sub-pixel and the control circuit. The first sub-pixel 10 and the second sub-pixel 12 each include a pixel driving circuit 20 and a light emitting unit 22; the pixel driving circuit 20 is connected to the control circuit 14 to receive a driving voltage Vdate; the light emitting units 22 are connected to the pixel driving circuit 20, the pixel driving circuit 20 can drive the corresponding light emitting units 22 to emit light, and the light emitting units 22 can be red light emitting units, green light emitting units, blue light emitting units, and the like. The control circuit 14 adjusts the driving voltage Vdate of the pixel driving circuit 20 in the second sub-pixel 12 to match the gray-scale luminance of the light emitting unit 22 in the first display area AA1 with the gray-scale luminance of the light emitting unit 22 in the second display area AA 2. The first sub-pixel 10 and the second sub-pixel 12 have simple structural design and are easy to manufacture.
In the present embodiment, the structure of the pixel driving circuit 20 in the first sub-pixel 10 and the structure of the pixel driving circuit 20 in the second sub-pixel 12 may be the same or different. One pixel driving circuit 20 in the first sub-pixel 10 may drive one light emitting unit 22 to emit light, and one pixel driving circuit 20 in the second sub-pixel 12 may drive at least one light emitting unit 22 to emit light. In addition, the size and the arrangement of the light emitting units 22 in the first sub-pixel 10 may also be different from the size and the arrangement of the light emitting units 22 in the second sub-pixel 12, so as to achieve the purpose that the light transmittance of the second display area AA2 is greater than the light transmittance of the first display area AA 1.
Further, referring to fig. 3 again, the first sampling sub-pixel 100 and the second sampling sub-pixel 120 each further include a detection sampling circuit 24 connected to the pixel driving circuit 20 for detecting the electrical signal applied to the light emitting unit 22. The current or applied voltage flowing through the light emitting unit 22 can be conveniently obtained by the design of the detection sampling circuit 24; in addition, the detection sampling circuit 24 does not need to be arranged in each first sub-pixel 10 and each second sub-pixel 12, and the cost is low. In addition, the detecting and sampling circuit 24 and the pixel driving circuit 20 may be both located in an array layer of the display panel, and the detecting and sampling circuit 24 may be prepared together in the process of preparing the pixel driving circuit 20.
In one application scenario, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the first sampling sub-pixel or the second sampling sub-pixel in fig. 3. The detection sampling circuit 24 includes a switch unit 240 and a detection unit 242. The switch unit 240 is electrically connected to the output end P of the pixel driving circuit 20 and a path where the corresponding light emitting unit 22 is located, and the switch unit 240 is turned off when detecting the current of the corresponding light emitting unit 22 and turned on when the corresponding light emitting unit 22 emits light. The detecting unit 242 is electrically connected between the output end P of the pixel driving circuit 20 and the control circuit 14 (not shown in fig. 4), and the detecting unit 242 is turned on when detecting the current of the corresponding light emitting unit 22, and is turned off when making the corresponding light emitting unit 22 emit light. The detection sampling circuit 24 is simple in design, and only needs to be simply changed based on the original pixel driving circuit 20.
For example, the above-mentioned switching unit 240 includes a switching transistor K1 having a first path terminal K10 and a second path terminal K12 electrically connected to the output terminal P of the pixel driving circuit 20 and the anode 220 of the light emitting unit 22, respectively, and a control terminal K14 receiving the first enable signal EM 1. And/or, the detecting unit 242 includes a detecting transistor K2, a first path terminal K20 and a second path terminal K22 of which are electrically connected to the output terminal P of the pixel driving circuit 20 and the control circuit 14 (not shown in fig. 4), respectively, and a control terminal K24 of which receives the detecting signal Detect. The switch unit 240 and the detecting unit 242 have a simple structure and occupy a small space, so as to reduce the influence on the original display panel layout. Of course, in other embodiments, the switch unit 240 and the detecting unit 242 may further include other circuit elements, for example, the control circuit 14 may obtain the current signal through the detecting transistor K2, and in other embodiments, other elements may be introduced between the detecting transistor K2 and the control circuit 14, so that the control circuit 14 obtains the voltage signal.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 4 and 5 together, fig. 5 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown in fig. 4. The pixel driving circuit 20 may be a 2T1C driving circuit, a 3T1C driving circuit, a 3T2C driving circuit, a 5T1C driving circuit, a 6T1C driving circuit, a 7T1C driving circuit, a 7T2C driving circuit, an 8T1C driving circuit, or the like, in terms of the number of transistors. The pixel driving circuit 20 may include, in terms of function: a power supply unit 200, a driving voltage writing unit 202, a driving unit 204, and an initialization unit 206.
The power supply unit 200 is configured to receive the second enable signal EM2 and provide a power supply signal VDD for the corresponding light emitting unit 22 according to the second enable signal EM 2; for example, the power supply unit 200 in fig. 4 includes a thin film transistor T1, a first path terminal of which receives the power signal VDD, and a control terminal of which receives the second enable signal EM 2.
The driving voltage writing unit 202 receives the first scan signal S1 to write the driving voltage Vdata under the driving of the first scan signal S1 (also referred to as the present-stage scan signal); for example, the driving voltage writing unit 202 in fig. 4 includes thin film transistors T2 and T3, control terminals of T2 and T3 receive the first scan signal, and a first path terminal of T2 receives the driving voltage Vdata. In addition, T3 in fig. 4 is in the form of a double-gate transistor, and in other embodiments, the T3 structure may be the same as the T2 structure, which is not limited in this application.
The driving unit 204 is connected to the driving voltage writing unit 202 and the power supply unit 200 to write the stored driving voltage Vdata, and generates a current matching the driving voltage Vdata by using the power signal VDD according to the driving voltage Vdata, so as to drive the corresponding light emitting unit 22 to emit light by using the current; for example, the driving unit 204 in fig. 4 includes a thin film transistor T4.
The initialization unit 206 receives the second scan signal S2 and the third scan signal S3 to receive the reference signal Vref under the driving of the second scan signal S2 and the third scan signal S3, and initializes the driving unit 204 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 with the reference signal Vref; for example, the initialization unit 206 in fig. 4 includes thin film transistors T5 and T6. In addition, T5 in fig. 4 is in the form of a double-gate transistor, and in other embodiments, the T5 structure may be the same as the T6 structure, which is not limited in this application.
The switch unit 240 is electrically connected between the output end P1 of the driving unit 204 and the anode 220, and the detection unit 242 is electrically connected between the output end P1 of the driving unit 204 and the control circuit 14.
The structure of the pixel driving circuit 20 is simple and mature, and the design of the switch unit 240 and the detecting unit 242 can make the whole circuit simple.
Correspondingly, the circuit structure of the pixel driving circuit 20a of the first sub-pixel 10 and the second sub-pixel 12 of the other non-sampling sub-pixels can be as shown in fig. 6, and fig. 6 is a circuit schematic diagram of an embodiment of the pixel driving circuit of the non-sampling first sub-pixel or the second sub-pixel in fig. 1. The difference between the pixel driving circuit 20a in fig. 6 and the pixel driving circuit 20 in fig. 4 is that the power supply unit (not labeled in fig. 6) includes thin film transistors T1 and K1a, wherein K1a is originally the switching transistor in fig. 4, and in order to reduce the complexity of the manufacturing process, the detecting transistor K2 in fig. 4 is directly removed, and the control terminal of the switching transistor K1 in fig. 4 is connected to the control terminal of the thin film transistor T1, so as to form the thin film transistor K1a in fig. 6.
In one application scenario, the working process for the pixel driving circuit 20 and the detection and sampling circuit 24 in fig. 4 may be as follows:
s1: t5 is turned on, the rest transistors are turned off, and the Vref voltage is charged to the N1 node to initialize the N1 node;
s2: turning on the T2 and the T3, turning off the other transistors, charging the Vdata voltage to an N2 node, wherein the T4 is a Source follower, and the voltage of the N1 node is close to the Vdata voltage;
s3: t6 is turned on, the rest are turned off, and Vref charges to anode 220 node to initialize anode 220;
s4: t1, K1, T4 are turned on, the rest transistors are turned off, and the voltage of the N1 node controls the current of T1. When a current flows through the node of the anode 220, the light-emitting unit 22 emits light;
s5 (sampling step): t1, K2, and T4 are turned on, and the rest of the transistors are turned off, so that a current flows through K2, and the current has the same magnitude as that in step S4.
As can be seen from the above steps, the addition of the detection sampling circuit 24 has no influence on the normal light emitting process, and the detection method is simple; in addition, in order to improve the detection accuracy, the step S5 is performed after the step S4, i.e., after the light-emitting unit 22 emits light normally, the detection step is performed.

For the non-preset gray scale, the step S201 further includes: after the preset gray scales are corrected, the corresponding calibration parameters can be obtained through the original driving voltage and the updated driving voltage of the second sub-pixels corresponding to two corrected gray scales adjacent to the current gray scale to be corrected.
