[ detailed description ] A
For better understanding of the technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions of the embodiments of the present invention are provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely one type of association that describes an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.
It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe the driver ICs in the embodiments of the present invention, the driver ICs should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the driver ICs from each other. For example, the first driver IC may also be referred to as the second driver IC, and similarly, the second driver IC may also be referred to as the first driver IC, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
For a display panel in which the display region includes the main display region and the auxiliary display third data line 33 region, as shown in fig. 1, the main display region 001 and the auxiliary display region 002 are sequentially disposed in the first direction, and the length of the main display region 001 in the second direction is larger than the length of the auxiliary display region 002 in the second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In contrast, in the display panel in which the driver IC 000 is provided on the side of the main display region 001 away from the auxiliary display region 002 or the driver IC 000 is provided on the side of the auxiliary display region 002 away from the main display region 001, when the driver IC 000 transmits the driving voltage to the display region through the data line, the length of the main display region in the second direction is longer than the length of the auxiliary display region 002 in the second direction, so that two lengths Y1 and Y2 exist in the data line extending from the driver IC 000 to the display region, and the line impedances of the data lines of the two lengths are different, thereby causing uneven display luminance of the display panel.
To solve the problem, an embodiment of the invention provides a display panel, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the display panel according to the embodiment of the invention, the display panel includes a first driving IC01, a first region 1, a second region 2 and a second driving IC02 arranged along a first direction; the first region 1 is constituted by a partial display region, the partial display region constituting the first region 1 including a main display region 11, the main display region 11 including first data lines 31 extending in a first direction; the second area 2 is composed of a partial display area and a partial non-display area, the second area 2 has an opening, the partial non-display area is located in the opening area 22, the partial display area constituting the second area 2 includes a first auxiliary display area 21, the first auxiliary display area 21 includes a second data line 32 extending along the first direction; the first data line 31 is connected to a first driving IC, and the second data line 32 is connected to a second driving IC 02.
The opening may be a rectangular opening, a rounded rectangular opening, a U-shaped opening, or the like, and the shape of the opening is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
The main display area 11 may be used to display conventional display information, and the display information displayed in the main display area 11 includes, for example, various application icons and application operation interfaces in the main interface of the mobile phone; the display area in the second area 2, i.e. the auxiliary display area in the display panel (the first auxiliary display area 21 and the second auxiliary display area 23 mentioned below) may be used for displaying information such as time, power and some notification messages. Specifically, the display information displayed in the second region 2 is generally smaller than the display information displayed in the main display region 11, so the area of the display region in the second region 2 is generally smaller than the area of the main display region 11.
Compared with the prior art in which the driving ICs are arranged on one side to drive the main display area 11 and the first auxiliary display area 21, the data line lengths of the main display area 11 are different and the line impedances are different, the first driving IC01 is respectively adopted to drive the main display area 11 through the first data line 31, and the second driving IC02 is adopted to drive the first auxiliary display area 21 through the second data line 32, so that the data line lengths in the main display area 11 are the same, and the problem of uneven display brightness of the main display area is solved. In addition, two driving ICs are adopted to drive the main display area 11 and the first auxiliary display area 21 respectively, the first driving IC01 only needs to integrate the driving processing module corresponding to the main display area 11, and the second driving IC02 only needs to integrate the driving processing module corresponding to the first auxiliary display area 21.
It should be added that, in order to make the first driver IC01 and the second driver IC02 in the display panel occupy no space of the display panel as much as possible, reduce the non-display area located outside the display area, and achieve the narrow edge of the display panel, a COF technology may be adopted, in which the first driver IC01 is disposed on the first flexible printed circuit board, the second driver IC02 is disposed on the second flexible printed circuit board, the first flexible printed circuit board is disposed in the lower step area corresponding to the side of the first area 1 away from the second area 2, and the second flexible printed circuit board is disposed in the upper step area corresponding to the side of the second area 2 away from the first area 1; alternatively, the first driving IC01 may be directly disposed at the lower step region, and the second driving IC02 may be directly disposed at the upper step region.
Based on the structure of the display panel shown in fig. 2, in order to solve the problem of uneven display brightness of different display areas of the display panel, the embodiment of the invention further provides a driving method of the display panel, wherein the flow chart of the method is shown in fig. 3, and the method comprises the following steps:
s601, the first driving IC01 obtains the first display information and the first gamma adjustment criterion corresponding to the main display area 11.
The first display information is information capable of reflecting a gray level of a display screen of the main display area 11.
The gamma adjustment standard is a gamma curve of a gray value and a gamma voltage value of a display picture. The first gamma adjustment criterion is the corresponding relationship between the gray scale value of the main display frame and the driving voltage output by the driving IC.
The gray scale of the display frame represents different brightness gradation levels from the darkest to the brightest. The smallest unit that the display panel can display is a pixel, one pixel is composed of three sub-pixels of red, green and blue, and each sub-pixel can display different brightness levels. Therefore, it can be understood that the information of the gray scale of the display frame at least includes the gray scale value of the red sub-pixel, the gray scale value of the green sub-pixel and the gray scale value of the blue sub-pixel.
S602, the second driving IC02 obtains the second display information and the second gamma adjustment criterion corresponding to the first auxiliary display area 21.
The second display information is information that can reflect the gray scale value of the display screen of the first auxiliary display area 21. The second gamma adjustment criterion is a corresponding relationship between the gray scale value of the first auxiliary display frame and the driving voltage output by the second driving IC 02.
It should be noted that the second gamma adjustment criterion may be the same as the first gamma adjustment criterion or may be different from the first gamma adjustment criterion.
Because the driving voltage output by the first driving IC01 is transmitted to the main display area 11 through the first data line 31, the driving voltage output by the second driving IC02 is transmitted to the first auxiliary display area 21 through the second data line 32, and the first data line 31 and the second data line 32 have line impedances, when the driving voltage is transmitted to the display area, the line impedance of the data line itself will generate a certain line loss, so that the driving voltage value finally obtained by the display area is not equal to the driving voltage value theoretically obtained by the display area, which causes the deviation between the actual display brightness and the theoretical display brightness of the display area, and in order to solve the influence of the line impedance of the data line on the display effect of the display panel, the line loss of the display area is compensated by using the gamma adjustment standard, so as to realize that the driving voltage value finally obtained by the display area is equal to the driving voltage value theoretically obtained by the display area, thereby improving the problem of display brightness deviation.
Specifically, based on the above analysis, when the line impedance of the first data line 31 is the same as the line impedance of the second data line 32, the line loss generated by the first data line 31 is the same as the line loss generated by the second data line 32, and therefore, the degree of compensating for the line loss of the main display area 11 and the first auxiliary display area 21 is the same, so that the first gamma adjustment criterion and the second gamma adjustment criterion are the same; similarly, when the line impedance of the first data line 31 is different from the line impedance of the second data line 32, the degree of compensation for the line loss of the main display area 11 and the first auxiliary display area 21 is different, so the first gamma adjustment criterion is different from the second gamma adjustment criterion.
S603, the first driving IC01 configures a first driving voltage for the main display area 11 through the first data line 31 according to the first display information and the first gamma adjustment criterion.
S604, the second driving IC02 configures the second driving voltage for the first auxiliary display region 21 through the second data line 32 according to the second display information and the second gamma adjustment criterion.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, different driving ICs and corresponding first data lines 31 and second data lines 32 are respectively arranged in the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area, and compared with a display panel which adopts one driving IC to transmit driving voltages for display to the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area through data lines, the embodiment of the invention adopts different driving ICs to control different display areas, so that the lengths of the data lines in the main display area are the same, and the lengths of the data lines in the auxiliary display area are the same, thereby relieving the problem of display brightness unevenness to a certain extent, effectively reducing the processing amount and the integration degree of the driving ICs, solving the problem of driving IC integration, and reducing the design and integration cost of the driving ICs. In addition, the driving ICs which drive different display areas respectively acquire display information and gamma adjustment standards corresponding to the display areas, each driving IC drives the corresponding display area according to the acquired display information and the gamma adjustment standards, and each driving IC compensates the loss of the different display areas caused by line impedance to different degrees through the corresponding gamma adjustment standards, so that when each driving chip outputs driving voltage for the display areas through data lines, the driving voltage finally acquired by the different areas and the gray-scale value of a display picture have a uniform corresponding relation, and the problem of uneven display brightness of the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area of the display panel is further effectively solved.
Furthermore, the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area of the display panel use different driver ICs to configure the driving voltages, so that the timing for refreshing the display screen of the main display area 11 and the timing for refreshing the display screen of the auxiliary display area are determined by different driver ICs, and in order to ensure that the display screen of the display panel is switched, especially when the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area of the display panel display the same gray scale screen, the problem of display color difference of the display screen of the display panel due to asynchronous refreshing timing of the main display area 11 and the auxiliary display area does not occur, the embodiment of the invention provides another driving method of the display panel, when the first driver IC01 and the second driver IC02 configure the driving voltages, the first driver IC01 configures the starting and ending timing of the first driving voltage for the main display area 11 through the first data line 31, the same as the start-stop timing at which the second drive IC02 configures the second drive voltage for the first auxiliary display region 21 through the second data line 32.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the display region of the display panel is driven, it is necessary that the scan lines and the data lines corresponding to the display region are matched with each other, and whether the scan lines drive the display region is determined by the scan driving circuit P0, so that when the first driving IC01 and the second driving IC02 output the data line driving voltages to the corresponding data lines in synchronization, the start/stop timing when the first driving IC01 applies the first driving voltage to the main display region 11 through the first data lines 31 is set to be the same as the start/stop timing when the second driving IC02 applies the second driving voltage to the first auxiliary display region 21 through the second data lines 32, the timing when the first driving IC01 controls the first scanning driving circuit P0' to start outputting the scan line driving signals to the scan lines can be set to be the same as the timing when the second driving IC02 controls the second scanning driving circuit P0 "to start outputting the scan line driving signals to the scan lines, the first driving IC01 is set to control the first scan driving circuit P0' to stop outputting the scan line driving signal to the scan line at the same time as the second driving IC02 controls the second scan driving circuit P0 ″ to stop outputting the scan line driving signal to the scan line, and the driving IC outputs a corresponding control signal to the corresponding scan driving circuit through the signal line X0 to control the scan driving circuit to be turned on or off. Therefore, by setting the relationship between the control signals supplied from the first and second driver ICs 01 and 02 to the respective driver circuits, the problem of synchronized display of the main display region 11 and the first auxiliary display region 21 is achieved.
To facilitate understanding of the implementation process by those skilled in the art, the following description specifically illustrates the arrangement.
It is assumed that the main display region 11 of the display panel includes 1080 scan lines, 1600 first data lines 31; the first auxiliary display area 21 includes 360 scan lines, 1280 second data lines 32, and the length ratio of the main display area 11 to the auxiliary display area in the direction of the data lines is 3: 1, in order to ensure that the start and stop time of the first driving IC01 configuring the driving voltage for the main display region 11 and the start and stop time of the second driving IC02 configuring the driving voltage for the auxiliary display region are the same, the ratio of the time t1 for each scan line in the main display region to output the scan driving signal to the main display region 11 to the time t2 for each scan line in the first auxiliary display region 21 to output the scan driving signal to the auxiliary display region is 1: 3. since the scanning drive signal output from the scanning line is determined by the input signal of the scanning drive circuit, the start and stop timings of the driving voltages to be applied to the main display region 11 and the first auxiliary display region 21 can be made the same by setting the relationship between the input signals supplied to the corresponding drive circuits by the first drive IC01 and the second drive IC 02.
Optionally, referring to fig. 5, in fig. 5, based on another display panel structure further provided by the display panel shown in fig. 2, a part of the display area constituting the second area 2 further includes a second auxiliary display area 23; the opening region 22 is located between the first auxiliary display region 21 and the second auxiliary display region 23; the second auxiliary display region 23 includes a third data line 33 extending in the first direction; the third data line is connected to the second driving IC 02.
Specifically, for such a display panel, the embodiment of the invention provides a display panel driving method, whose flow charts are respectively shown in fig. 6,
