Detailed Description
The structural and operational principles of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
referring to FIG. 1, a diagram of a relationship between a clock signal (GCLK) and a pulse width modulation signal (PWM) according to one embodiment is shown. In spread spectrum techniques, a clock frequency of a clock signal is modulated. As shown in FIG. 1, the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK_a is, for example, 10MHz, and the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK_b is, for example, 8MHz. When the PWM signal pwm_a and the PWM signal pwm_b are both 2T, the PWM signal pwm_a has an on width Wa, and the PWM signal pwm_b has an on width Wb. Under the pulse width modulation signal pwm_a adopting the on width Wa, the scan line is illuminated for a time interval Ra; the scan line is illuminated for a time interval Rb below the PWM signal pwm_b with the on-width Wb. It is obvious that the on width Wb of the PWM signal pwm_b is larger than the on width Wa of the PWM signal pwm_a, which results in a time interval Rb being larger than the time interval Ra, so that the brightness of each scan line is different.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of a display panel 1000 according to an embodiment is shown. The display panel 1000 includes a spread spectrum circuit 110, a control circuit 120, a temporary memory 130, a PWM signal generating circuit 140 and an output circuit 150. The control circuit 120 includes a computing unit 121 and a signal processing unit 122. The spread spectrum circuit 110 is used for spreading a clock signal GCLK0 so that a clock frequency of the output clock signal GCLK1 is periodically modulated on a plurality of scan lines.
Referring to fig. 3, a luminance relationship diagram of a first frame f_c and a second frame f_d according to an embodiment is shown. The first frame f_c and the second frame f_d are, for example, two adjacent frames. The first frame f_c and the second frame f_d each have a plurality of subframes SF1, SF2, …. Each of the subframes SF1, SF2, … has a plurality of scan lines L1, L2, L3 … (the number of scan lines is not limited to the present invention). The long chart shows the brightness of each of the scanning lines L1, L2, L3, …. When the frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 is low, a higher brightness is generated; the higher the frequency of the clock signal GCLK1, the lower the brightness is.
In fig. 3, the scan lines L1, L2, L3, … of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d are aligned (the clock signal GCLK1 is not aligned) so as to conveniently represent the corresponding positions of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d. In the present technology, the control circuit 120 controls the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 to be complementary to the corresponding position of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d, so that the brightness of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d at the corresponding position are complementary. The term "complementary" in this case means that the higher corresponds to the lower and the lower corresponds to the higher, so that the sum of the two can be substantially equal at each correspondence.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a driving method of the display panel 1000 according to an embodiment. According to the above description, the driving method of the display panel 1000 of the present embodiment includes steps S110, S120. In step S110, the spread spectrum circuit 110 spreads the clock signal GCLK0 so that the clock frequency of the output clock signal GCLK1 is periodically modulated on the scan lines L1, L2, L3, …. In step S120, the control circuit 120 controls the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 to be complementary to the corresponding position (each scan line L1, L2, L3, …) of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d, so that the brightness of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d is complementary to the corresponding position (each scan line L1, L2, L3, …).
Once each corresponding position (each scanning line L1, L2, L3, …) of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d can be complemented in brightness, the user can feel stable brightness without water ripple under the phenomenon of persistence of vision.
Referring to fig. 2, the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 outputted from the spread spectrum circuit 110 is periodically modulated on the scan lines L1, L2, L3, …. The calculating unit 121 of the control circuit 120 is configured to output a timing adjustment signal Ts. The signal processing unit 122 controls the clock signal GCLK1 according to the timing adjustment signal Ts so that the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 is complementary to the corresponding position of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d.
Various embodiments are described below in which the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 is complementary to the corresponding locations of the first frame F_c and the second frame F_d.
Referring to fig. 5, an example of step S120 is illustrated. As shown in fig. 5, the periodically modulated clock signal GCLK1 has a spread spectrum period Tssc. The first frame f_c and the second frame f_d each require a frame scan time Tframe. The respective scanning lines L1, L2, L3, … require a line scanning time Tscan. In the example of fig. 5, the frame scanning time Tframe is K1 times (tframe=k1×tssc) of the spreading period Tssc, the spreading period Tssc is K2 times (tssc=k2×tscan) of the line scanning time Tscan, K1 is a positive integer, and K2 is a positive integer and an even number.

With respect to the first scan timing SN11, the start scan line of the second scan timing SN12 is shifted from the scan line L1 to the scan line L28. That is, the start scan line of the second scan timing SN12 is shifted by 0.5×k2 scan lines (i.e., 3 scan lines) with respect to the first scan timing SN 11.

Under the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the user can feel stable brightness without water ripple.

The second scan timing SN32 is a scan order of scan line L30, scan line L29, scan lines L28, …, scan line L3, scan line L2, and scan line L1.
The scan order of the second scan timing SN32 is opposite to that of the first scan timing SN 31.

Under the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the user can feel stable brightness without water ripple.
Referring to fig. 8, another example of step S120 is illustrated.

As shown in fig. 8, the scanning order of the first scanning timing SN41 is a scanning line L1, a scanning line L2, scanning lines L3, …, a scanning line L28, a scanning line L29, and a scanning line L30. The start scan time of the first scan sequence SN41 is a time point T41. The second scan timing SN42 is a scan order of scan line L30, scan line L29, scan lines L28, …, scan line L3, scan line L2, and scan line L1. The start scan time of the second scan sequence SN42 is the time point T42.
The scanning order of the second scanning timing SN42 is opposite with respect to the first scanning timing SN41, and the start scanning time is shifted from the time point T41 to the time point T42. That is, the start scan time of the second scan timing SN42 is shifted by a delay time Trest, which is less than 0.5 times the difference between the spread period Tssc and the sub-frame scan time Tsb.

Under the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the user can feel stable brightness without water ripple.
Referring to fig. 9, another example of step S120 is illustrated. As shown in fig. 9, the frame scanning time Tframe is not divided by the spreading period Tssc.
As shown in the middle diagram of fig. 9, the periodically modulated clock signal GCLK1 to the scan lines L1, L2, L3, … are provided in the first frame f_c according to a first scan timing SN 51.
As shown in the lower diagram of fig. 9, the periodically modulated clock signal GCLK1 to the scan lines L1, L2, L3, … are provided according to a second scan timing SN52 on the second frame f_d. The first picture f_c is, for example, an odd picture, and the second picture f_d is, for example, an even picture.
As shown in fig. 9, the start scan time of the first scan timing SN51 is a time point T51. The start scan time of the second scan sequence SN52 is the time point T52.
The start scan time of the first scan sequence SN51 is shifted by a first shift amount Tshift1, and the start scan time of the second scan sequence SN52 is shifted by a second shift amount Tshift2, wherein the first shift amount Tshift1 is different from the second shift amount Tshift2.
The previous frame of the first frame f_c has a remainder time tr_c of the spread period Tssc, which is not fixed, depending on the previous frame. The remainder time tr_c refers to a time less than one spread period Tssc. The previous frame of the second frame f_d has a remainder time tr_d of the spread period Tssc, and the remainder time tr_d is not fixed, depending on the previous frame. The remainder time tr_d refers to a time less than one spread period Tssc.
If the remainder time tr_c is smaller than 0.5 times of the spread period Tssc, the first movement amount Tshift1 is the difference between the 0.5 times of the spread period Tssc and the remainder time tr_c; if the remainder time tr_c is not smaller than 0.5 times the spread period Tssc, the first shift amount Tshift1 is a difference between the spread period Tssc of 1.5 times and the remainder time tr_c. The second shift amount Tshift2 is the difference between the spread period Tssc and the remainder time tr_d. The first moving amount Tshift1 and the second moving amount Tshift2 differ by a spreading period Tssc of 0.5 times.
As shown in fig. 9, under the same periodically modulated clock signal GCLK1, the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 is the highest value at the scan line L1 of the first frame f_c, the clock frequency of the clock signal GCLK1 is the lowest value at the scan line L1 of the second frame f_d, and the corresponding positions are complementary.

Under the phenomenon of persistence of vision, the user can feel stable brightness without water ripple.
In one embodiment, the control circuit 120 sets the first moving amount Tshift1 and the second moving amount Tshift2 through the following procedure, for example. Referring to fig. 10, a flowchart of a method for setting the first movement amount Tshift1 and the second movement amount Tshift2 is illustrated. In step S210, the calculating unit 121 of the control circuit 120 calculates the remainder times tr_c and tr_d according to the frame scan time Tframe and the spread period Tssc.
Next, in step S220, the signal processing unit 122 of the control circuit 120 determines whether the object to be processed is the first frame f_c or the second frame f_d. If the object to be processed is the first frame f_c, go to step S230; if the object to be processed is the second frame f_d, the process proceeds to step S260.
In step S230, the signal processing unit 122 of the control circuit 120 further determines whether the remainder time tr_c is smaller than 0.5 times the spread period Tssc. If the remainder time tr_c is less than 0.5 time of the spread period Tssc, the step S250 is entered; if the remainder time tr_c is not less than 0.5 time of the spreading period Tssc, the process proceeds to step S260.
In step S240, the signal processing unit 122 of the control circuit 120 sets the difference between the spread period Tssc and the remainder time tr_c, which is 0.5 times the first movement amount Tshift 1.
In step S250, the signal processing unit 122 of the control circuit 120 sets the difference between the spread period Tssc and the remainder time tr_c, which is 1.5 times the first movement amount Tshift 1.
In step S260, the signal processing unit 122 of the control circuit 120 sets the second movement amount Tshift2 as a difference between the spread period Tssc and the remainder time tr_d.
Referring to fig. 11, a relationship diagram between a first frame f_c and a second frame f_d is illustrated. In the above-described various embodiments, the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d may be adjacent frames or non-adjacent frames. As shown in fig. 11, as long as the difference between the scanning time points of the first frame f_c and the second frame f_d is within the persistence time Ty, an effect of visually stabilizing brightness can be achieved.
Of course, the present invention is capable of other various embodiments and its several details are capable of modification and variation in light of the present invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
