Technical Field

Background
The source driver of the display panel of the existing display device is internally provided with an output buffer module and a bias circuit, the bias circuit is used for providing bias current for the output buffer module, the magnitude of the bias current is in direct proportion to the driving thrust of a source driving signal, the output buffer module aims to enhance the driving thrust of the source driving signal according to the bias current, and when the display panel displays a picture with a large load, the driving thrust of the source driving signal can be ensured to drive a pixel array of the display panel.
The bias current output by the bias circuit in the conventional source driver is stable and constant, which means that the bias currents output by the bias circuit are all equal when the display panel displays different pictures with different loads. However, when the display panel displays a light-load picture, the driving thrust actually required by the source driving signal should be smaller than the driving thrust of the source driving signal when the display panel displays a heavy-load picture, i.e., the bias current actually required by the display panel when the display panel displays the light-load picture should be smaller than the bias current required when the display panel displays the heavy-load picture. Therefore, when the display panel displays a display image of any load and the bias current of the display panel is kept unchanged, the driving capability of the source driving signal is too large when the display panel displays a light-load image, which results in waste of power consumption of the display device.

Directional phrases used in this application, such as [ upper ], [ lower ], [ front ], [ rear ], [ left ], [ right ], [ inner ], [ outer ], [ side ], etc., refer only to the directions of the attached drawings. Accordingly, the directional terminology is used for purposes of illustration and understanding, and is in no way limiting. In the drawings, elements having similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals.
The present application will be further described with reference to the following drawings and specific examples.
An embodiment of the present application provides a driving method of a display device, where the driving method is applied to a display device, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the display device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the display device includes a display panel 10, a timing controller 11, a source driver 12, and a detection module 13, the source driver 12 includes a plurality of output channels, an output buffer circuit 124 corresponding to the output channels, a bias circuit 123 for providing a bias current to the output buffer circuit 124, a bias current control module 122, and a source driving circuit 121.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a driving method of a display device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the driving method of the display device includes:
step S10: and acquiring gray scale data signals corresponding to a row of sub-pixels connected to the same data line in a frame of picture to be displayed.
In one embodiment, the display panel includes a plurality of rows of sub-pixels corresponding to the plurality of output channels, each row of sub-pixels includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and the gray scale data signal includes gray scale voltage polarities, gray scale voltage values, and gray scale values corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels in a row of sub-pixels one to one.
In one embodiment, the driving method of the display panel 10 is fixed, and the type of the gray-scale data signal to be acquired needs to be determined according to the driving method of the display panel 10. Taking the display panel with row inversion as an example, the gray scale voltage polarity of each sub-pixel in a row of sub-pixels is the same in each frame, so that only the gray scale voltage value or gray scale value needs to be obtained, and the gray scale voltage polarity of each sub-pixel does not need to be determined. For a display panel of the column inversion or dot inversion type, the gray scale voltage polarities of any two adjacent sub-pixels in a row of sub-pixels are different, and not only the gray scale voltage value or the gray scale value but also the gray scale voltage polarity needs to be obtained.
In an embodiment, the type of the acquired gray-scale data signal is also related to the position where the detection module 13 is disposed, and if the detection module 13 is disposed in the timing controller 11 of the display device, since the pixel information storage module in the timing controller 11 stores the digital signal of the gray-scale value, the detection module 13 can only acquire the gray-scale value from the pixel information storage module of the timing controller 11. If the detecting module 13 is disposed in the source driver 12, since the gray scale value, the gray scale voltage value and the gray scale voltage polarity are stored in the source driver 12 at the same time, the gray scale voltage polarity, the gray scale value or the gray scale voltage value can be obtained according to the requirement. If the detecting module 13 is disposed outside the timing controller 11 and the source driver 12, the detecting module 13 may be connected to the timing controller 11 and the source driver 12, and at this time, the detecting module 13 may simultaneously obtain the gray scale voltage polarity, the gray scale value and the gray scale voltage value, and the type of the obtained gray scale data signal may be limited according to the actual situation, which is not limited herein.
Step S20: and determining a gray scale jump amplitude value corresponding to a row of sub-pixels according to the gray scale data signal.
In an embodiment, the step of determining the gray level transition amplitude value corresponding to the row of sub-pixels according to the gray level data signal includes: sequentially calculating gray scale voltage difference values or gray scale difference values of two adjacent sub-pixels in the row of sub-pixels according to the gray scale voltage polarity and the gray scale voltage value or according to the gray scale voltage polarity and the gray scale value; accumulating the absolute value of the gray scale voltage difference value or the absolute value of the gray scale difference value of two adjacent sub-pixels in the row of sub-pixels to obtain a total value of the gray scale jump amplitude; and dividing the total value of the gray scale jump amplitude by the number of sub-pixels in the row of sub-pixels to obtain the gray scale jump amplitude value.
The gray scale voltage value and the gray scale value change can both reflect the load degree of the current display panel, the calculation mode of the gray scale jump amplitude total value can obtain a gray scale voltage difference value according to the gray scale voltage polarity and the gray scale voltage value, then the gray scale jump amplitude total value obtained by accumulating the gray scale voltage difference value is divided by the number of the sub-pixels to obtain a gray scale jump amplitude value, and also can obtain a gray scale difference value according to the gray scale voltage polarity and the gray scale value, and then the gray scale jump amplitude total value obtained by accumulating the gray scale difference value is divided by the number of the sub-pixels to obtain a gray scale jump amplitude value. The calculation method of the gray level jump amplitude can be limited according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.
In an embodiment, the step of calculating the gray scale voltage difference or the gray scale difference between two adjacent sub-pixels in the row of sub-pixels includes: judging the gray scale voltage polarity of two adjacent sub-pixels; if the gray scale voltage polarities of two adjacent sub-pixels are the same, subtracting the gray scale voltage values or the gray scale values of the two adjacent sub-pixels to obtain a gray scale voltage difference value or a gray scale difference value; and if the gray scale voltage polarities of the two adjacent sub-pixels are different, adding the absolute values or the gray scale values of the gray scale voltage values of the two adjacent sub-pixels to obtain the gray scale voltage difference value or the gray scale difference value.
Taking a display panel with 256 gray scales in a row inversion driving manner as an example, the number of sub-pixels in a row of sub-pixels is n, the polarities of two adjacent sub-pixels in the row of sub-pixels are the same, and at this time, the gray scale difference value of two adjacent sub-pixels can be obtained only by subtracting the gray scale values of two adjacent sub-pixels. When the display panel displays a horizontal stripe (horizontal-stripe) picture, a display picture with alternately circulating bright sub-pixels and dark sub-pixels in one row is presented in one frame, wherein the gray-scale value of the bright sub-pixels is 255, the gray-scale value of the dark sub-pixels is 0, the gray-scale difference value of two adjacent sub-pixels is 255 or-255, the total value of the gray-scale jump amplitude is 255(n-1), and the gray-scale jump amplitude value is 255(n-1)/(n-1) ═ 255. Taking the display panel with the dot inversion or the column inversion driving method as an example, the gray scale voltage polarities of two adjacent sub-pixels in a row of sub-pixels are opposite, when it is detected that the gray scale voltage polarities of the two adjacent sub-pixels are different, and when the gray scale voltage difference or the gray scale difference of the two adjacent sub-pixels is calculated, the gray scale voltage polarity needs to be added before the gray scale voltage value or the gray scale value, for example, when the (n-1) th sub-pixel is negative, the gray scale is 100, the nth sub-pixel is positive, and the gray scale is 50, the gray scale difference between the nth sub-pixel and the n-1 th sub-pixel is (+50) - (-100) ═ 150, that is, the absolute value or the gray scale value of the gray scale voltage values of the two adjacent sub-pixels are added to obtain the gray scale voltage difference or the gray scale difference.
Step S30: and generating a corresponding bias current control signal according to the gray scale jump amplitude value.
In an embodiment, the gray-scale transition amplitude value may be divided into a plurality of value intervals, and each value interval corresponds to a bias current control signal, that is, a load type of a display frame. When the calculated grayscale transition amplitude value falls into one of the intervals, the mapping module disposed in the detection module 13 can query the control code of the corresponding bias current control signal according to the grayscale transition amplitude value, and input the bias current control signal to the bias current control module 122. Taking the display panel with 256 gray scales in the column inversion driving manner as an example, the display frame types of the display panel can be divided into a heavy-load frame and a light-load frame, where the heavy-load frame is a horizontal stripe (horizontal stripe) frame, the gray scale jump amplitude value corresponding to the heavy-load frame is 255, and the display frame with the gray scale jump amplitude value smaller than 255 is the light-load frame. When the calculated gray scale jump amplitude value is 255, the detection module 13 generates a corresponding first bias current control signal, and when the calculated gray scale jump amplitude value is smaller than 255, the detection module 13 generates a corresponding second bias current control signal, and the bias current corresponding to the second bias current control signal should be smaller than the bias current corresponding to the first bias current control signal, so as to increase the current of the source drive signal corresponding to the heavy-load picture, thereby improving the drive thrust of the source drive signal corresponding to the heavy-load picture, and reducing the current of the source drive signal corresponding to the light-load picture, thereby reducing the drive thrust of the source drive signal corresponding to the light-load picture, thereby avoiding the waste of power consumption caused by the overlarge source drive signal when the light-load picture is displayed, and further reducing the power consumption of the display device. Of course, the gray level transition amplitude value of the display panel with reversed polarity may also be divided into 4 equal-width intervals according to the gray level value, which are 0 to 63, 64 to 127, 128 to 191, and 192 to 255 respectively, and 4 bias current control signals corresponding to the intervals one by one may be set.
In other embodiments, the grayscale jump amplitude value may also be divided into more levels, so that the difference between two adjacent grayscale jump amplitudes is small, and thus, under the condition of different grayscale values or grayscale voltage values, a more accurate bias current may be selected, and the waste of power consumption caused by the fact that the deviation of the selected bias current from the actually required bias current is larger is avoided. The specific level of dividing the grayscale jump amplitude value can be limited according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.
In an embodiment, before the step of generating the corresponding bias current control signal according to the grayscale transition amplitude value, a first mapping table of the grayscale transition amplitude value and the bias current control signal should be further set. The first mapping table comprises the corresponding relation between the gray scale jump amplitude value and the corresponding control code. Taking the display panel in the column inversion manner as an example, the grayscale jump amplitude value is divided into 4 equal-width intervals, which are respectively 0-63, 64-127, 128-191, and 192-255, the control code of the bias current control signal corresponding to the interval can be identified by two-bit data, which are respectively 00, 01, 10, and 11, when the calculated grayscale jump amplitude value is between 0-63, the bias current control signal with the control code of 00 is output to the bias current control module, and the bias current control module can determine the magnitude of the corresponding bias current according to the control code. In other embodiments, the control code may also be adjusted according to the level of the gray level transition amplitude division, and the format and type of the specific control code may be limited according to the actual situation, which is not limited herein.
Step S40: and determining the magnitude of the bias current provided by the bias circuit to the output buffer circuit according to the bias current control signal.
In an embodiment, the bias current control module 122 determines the magnitude of the bias current provided by the bias circuit 123 to the output buffer circuit 124 according to the received bias current control signal, and generates a corresponding bias current adjustment signal, and inputs the bias current adjustment signal to the bias circuit 123, so as to drive the bias circuit 123 to generate the bias current with the corresponding magnitude.
In an embodiment, before the step of determining the magnitude of the bias current provided by the bias circuit to the output buffer circuit according to the bias current control signal, the method further includes: and setting a second mapping table of the bias current control signal and the bias current. Wherein the second mapping table includes a correspondence between the control code and a corresponding magnitude of the bias current. Taking the display panel in the column inversion manner as an example, the control codes of the 4 bias current control signals are 00, 01, 10, and 11, respectively, in this embodiment, 4 bias currents with different magnitudes corresponding to the control codes one by one need to be set, so that the bias current control module can determine the magnitude of the corresponding bias current according to the control code of the bias current control signal.
Step S50: and adjusting the input driving signal input to the output buffer circuit according to the bias current to obtain a source driving signal.
In an embodiment, the output buffer circuit 124 receives the bias current provided by the bias circuit 123, adjusts the input driving signal output from the digital-to-analog converter in the source driving circuit 121 to the output buffer circuit 124 according to the bias current to obtain a source driving signal, and outputs the source driving signal to a corresponding output channel, so as to output the source driving signal to a corresponding column of sub-pixels in the display panel 10 through the output channel and charge the column of sub-pixels.
Specifically, the output buffer circuit 124 includes a plurality of operational amplifiers 125, wherein non-inverting input terminals of the plurality of operational amplifiers 125 are all connected to the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter in the source driving circuit 121, an output terminal of each of the plurality of operational amplifiers 125 is respectively connected to a corresponding output channel and an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier 125, and a power supply terminal of the plurality of operational amplifiers 125 is connected to the output terminal of the bias circuit 123.
As can be seen from the above, the driving method of the display device provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the gray scale data signal corresponding to a row of sub-pixels connected to the same data line in a frame of image to be displayed, determines the gray scale transition amplitude value corresponding to the row of sub-pixels according to the gray scale data signal, generates the corresponding bias current control signal according to the gray scale transition amplitude value, determines the magnitude of the bias current provided by the bias circuit to the output buffer circuit according to the bias current control signal, and finally adjusts the input driving signal input to the output buffer circuit according to the bias current to obtain the source driving signal, so as to dynamically adjust the magnitude of the bias current according to the gray scale data signal of the display image, and reduce the driving thrust of the source driving signal when the display panel displays a light-load image, thereby reducing power consumption of the display device.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the display device provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the display device includes a display panel 10, a timing controller 11, a source driver 12, and a detection module 13, and the detection module 13 is configured to acquire a gray scale data signal corresponding to a row of sub-pixels in a frame of a frame to be displayed, determine a gray scale transition amplitude value corresponding to the row of sub-pixels according to the gray scale data signal, and generate a corresponding bias current control signal according to the gray scale transition amplitude value.

In an embodiment, the driving method of the display panel may include row inversion, column inversion, frame inversion or dot inversion, and the type of the gray-scale data signal required to be detected by the detecting module 13 is different according to different driving methods. Taking the display panel with the row inversion driving method as an example, in one frame of display picture, the gray scale voltages of a row of sub-pixels on the display panel have the same polarity, and only the gray scale value or the gray scale voltage corresponding to the sub-pixel needs to be acquired by the gray scale data signal acquisition module of the detection module 13.
