As described in the background art, the digital display driving method of the Micro LED generally comprises the steps of sending n-bit gray scale data into a pixel driving circuit one by one, refreshing and displaying by adopting n subframes, and realizing 2 by utilizing a pulse width modulation methodnThe bits display gray levels. Assume that the lighting period of the first subframe is t0, the lighting period of the second subframe is 2 × to, and the lighting period of the third subframe is 22T0, and so on, the lighting time length of the nth sub-frame is 2n-1T 0. When the gray scale precision is high, the low gray scale development time is short, for example, when the gray scale development is performed by using n ═ 16, the low gray scale development time is short, and since the driving waveform has a rising edge and a falling edge, in the case of short development time, problems such as short holding time of low gray scale display and sampling abnormality often occur.
In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a pixel driving device and a pixel driving method.
In one embodiment, a pixel driving device is provided for implementing an n-bit grayscale display of a pixel cell.
In the conventional technology, n-bit gray scale data are often sequentially transmitted to the same pixel unit to realize the display of n subframes, and the lighting time of each subframe is controlled to realize the n-bit gray scale display of the pixel unit. The larger the value of n is, the larger the number of sub-frames is, the higher the precision of the gray scale is, and the lighting time length of each sub-frame is in an increasing trend. In practical applications, when the precision of the gray scale reaches a certain degree, the display duration of the first several lit sub-frames is often very short, i.e. the low gray scale development time is short, which further causes the problems of short holding time and abnormal sampling, for example, when n is greater than or equal to 16, the above problems exist. In this embodiment, n is 16 as an example.
Referring to fig. 1, the pixel driving device provided in this embodiment includes a first driving unit 110, a second driving unit 210, a first current source 120, and a second current source 220.
Specifically, the first driving unit 110 is connected to the pixel unit 100, and is configured to sequentially transmit a-bit gray-scale data to the pixel unit 100 in a display period. The second driving unit 210 is connected to the pixel unit 100, and is configured to sequentially transmit the b-bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100 in a display period. The first current source 120 is connected to the pixel unit 100 and configured to provide a first driving current, where the first driving current is a current corresponding to a high gray level. The second current source 220 is connected to the pixel unit 100 and configured to provide a second driving current, which is a current corresponding to the low gray level. The first driving current is larger than the second driving current, and a + b is equal to n, wherein a, b and n are positive integers.
In this embodiment, the n-bit gray scale data is divided into a-bit gray scale data and b-bit gray scale data, the a-bit gray scale data is sequentially transmitted to the pixel unit 100 through the first driving unit 110, and the b-bit gray scale data is sequentially transmitted to the pixel unit 100 through the second driving unit 210, that is, in the same subframe period, the pixel unit 100 simultaneously receives two gray scale data and performs synchronous driving display under the driving action of the first driving current and the second driving current.
In the conventional technology, a frame period includes n subframe periods, in this embodiment, n is divided into a and b, two sets of driving units and current sources are configured corresponding to the same pixel unit, that is, a first driving unit and a first current source, and a second driving unit and a second current source, the n-bit gray scale data is divided into a-bit gray scale data and b-bit gray scale data, the a-bit gray scale data is transmitted to the pixel unit under the action of the first driving unit, a first driving current is provided to the pixel unit through the first current source, and the b-bit gray scale data is transmitted to the pixel unit and a second driving current is provided to the pixel unit through the second current source under the action of the second driving unit, wherein the first driving current is a current corresponding to a high gray scale, and the second driving current is a current corresponding to a low gray scale.
In this embodiment, one frame period includes a subframes or b subframes, and less than n subframes. The frame period is fixed, the number of the sub-frames is reduced, and each sub-frame period is lengthened, so that the lighting time of each sub-frame is prolonged, the low gray scale expansion time is prolonged, and accurate low gray scale display is facilitated. Meanwhile, a first driving current corresponding to a high gray scale and a second driving current corresponding to a low gray scale are configured in each subframe period, and display brightness of each subframe is enhanced through superposition display of the high gray scale and the low gray scale, so that the display effect of one frame of data can reach the n-bit gray scale display effect in the conventional technology.
In a first sub-frame period, the first driving unit 110 transmits the 1 st bit gray scale data of the a bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100, and the second driving unit 210 transmits the 1 st bit gray scale data of the b bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100; in the next sub-frame period, the first driving unit 110 transmits the 2 nd bit gray scale data of the a bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100, and simultaneously, the second driving unit 210 transmits the 2 nd bit gray scale data of the b bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100; and so on, until the first driving unit 110 transmits the a-th bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100, and the second driving unit 210 transmits the b-th bit gray scale data to the pixel unit 100. Since a and b are not necessarily equal, the number of subframes is the larger of a and b.
Suppose, the first subframeThe lighting time period is t0, the lighting time period of the second sub-frame is 2 × to, and the lighting time period of the third sub-frame is 22T0, and so on, the lighting time of the i-th sub-frame is 2i-1T 0. That is, the lighting time period of the a-th subframe is 2a-1T0, the lighting time length of the b-th sub-frame is 2b-1*t0。
In one embodiment, the a-bit gray scale data is a-bit data arranged at a higher level among the n-bit gray scale data, and the b-bit gray scale data is a b-bit data arranged at a lower level among the n-bit gray scale data. Let n be 16, and n-bit grayscale data be 1011101010101110; for example, a is 10, b is 6, the a-bit gray scale data is the data 1011101010 with 10 high bits, the b-bit gray scale data is the data 101110 with 6 low bits; for another example, the a-bit gray scale data is 8 bits of data 10111010 with the upper 8 bits, and the b-bit gray scale data is 8 bits of data 10101110 with the lower 8 bits; for example, the a-bit gray scale data is 6-bit data 101110 with 6 high bits, and the b-bit gray scale data is 10 low-bit data 1010101110 with 10 low bits. In practical applications, the n-bit gray scale data may be divided at different positions according to practical situations, and is not limited herein.
In one embodiment, a ═ b. When a is equal to b, the number of subframes is reduced to half of the original number, i.e. n/2, and each subframe period is equivalent to being increased to twice of the original number. Taking a 100hz refresh rate, n-16 as an example, in the conventional scheme, the display period of one frame is 1/100hz, i.e. 10ms, the period of one subframe is 10/16, i.e. 0.625ms, and the lighting duration of the first subframe (i.e. the shortest lighting duration) is 0.625/216-1I.e., 19 ns; in the present embodiment, the display period of one frame is still 10ms, and since one frame is divided into 8 subframes, that is, one subframe period is 10/8, that is, 1.25ms, the lighting period (that is, the shortest lighting period) of the first subframe is 1.25/28-1I.e. 9.8 mus. It is known that when a is equal to b, the shortest lighting time is increased to the greatest extent, which is effective for developing low gray scales.
In one embodiment, the first driving current and the second driving current satisfy the following relation:
Ib＝Ia/2a
wherein, IbRepresents the second drive current, IaRepresenting a first drive current.
Under the driving of the first driving current, the pixel unit 100 can realize high gray scale display, under the driving of the second driving current, the pixel unit 100 can realize low gray scale display, and under the synchronous driving of the first driving current and the second driving current, the pixel unit can realize the mixed display of high gray scale and low gray scale. By setting the values of the first driving current and the second driving current to satisfy the above correspondence, the display luminance of the pixel unit 100 can be improved to a corresponding degree in the same subframe, and the lowest display luminance corresponding to the first driving current corresponds to the highest display luminance corresponding to the second driving current in the same subframe, so that the n-bit gray scale display effect can be satisfied also when the number of subframes is reduced.
Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the first driving unit 110 includes a first data driving unit 111 and a first pixel driving unit 112, and the first pixel driving unit 112 is connected to the first data driving unit 111, the first current source 120, and the pixel unit 100, respectively. The first data driving unit 111 transmits corresponding gray scale data to the first pixel driving unit 112 under the action of the driving signal, and the first pixel driving unit 112 controls the connection between the first current source 120 and the pixel unit 100 under the driving of the gray scale data.
That is, the first data driving unit 111 is configured to receive a driving signal and transmit corresponding gray scale data to the first pixel driving unit 112 in response to the driving signal, where the gray scale data may be 0 or 1, and the first pixel driving unit 112 may control, according to the actually received gray scale data, on or off between the first current source 120 and the pixel unit 100, that is, on transmits the first driving current provided by the first current source to the pixel unit to drive the pixel unit 100 to emit light, and off turns off the pixel unit 100 when off.

When the second driving signal line 214 receives the driving signal, the second data line 213 and the second pixel driving unit 212 may be turned on, the gray-scale data received by the second data line 213 may be transmitted to the second pixel driving unit 212, or the connection between the second data line 213 and the second pixel driving unit 212 may be turned off.
For example, sending gray scale data 0 to the first pixel driving unit, disconnecting the first current source from the pixel unit, and sending gray scale data 1 to the second pixel driving unit, connecting the second current source with the pixel unit, that is, driving the pixel unit to emit light by the second driving current; or sending the gray scale data 1 to the first pixel driving unit, wherein the first current source is connected with the pixel unit, and meanwhile sending the gray scale data 0 to the second pixel driving unit, and the second current source is disconnected with the pixel unit, namely, the pixel unit is driven to emit light by the first driving current; or sending the gray scale data 1 to the first pixel driving unit, wherein the first current source is connected with the pixel unit, and meanwhile sending the gray scale data 1 to the second pixel driving unit, and the second current source is connected with the pixel unit, namely, the pixel unit is driven to emit light by the driving current obtained by superposing the first driving current and the second driving current; or, sending the gray scale data 0 to the first pixel driving unit, the first current source is disconnected from the pixel unit, and meanwhile, sending the gray scale data 0 to the second pixel driving unit, the second current source is disconnected from the pixel unit, that is, the pixel unit is turned off.
