Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
In the prior art, the compensation threshold is set as a starting value for starting the driving compensation process. For example, if the driving compensation condition is low temperature operation, a temperature compensation threshold is set due to a phenomenon that the TFT is not sufficiently driven by the gate driving circuit because of a characteristic shift of the TFT at a low temperature, and when the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature compensation threshold, a compensation program in the IC is started to adjust a control signal input to the gate driving circuit, specifically, to increase a voltage value of the first power signal Vgh and a duty ratio of the first clock signal CLK to perform driving compensation.
In the driving compensation process, for the condition without driving compensation (for example, after RA test), after the driving compensation is added, the normal operation of the display module can be effectively ensured, for the condition with driving compensation (for example, low-temperature driving compensation), the problem of long driving compensation period and low accuracy can exist, specifically, because the selection value of the driving compensation temperature starting value in the driving chip program can be determined through repeated tests, the test period is long and the accuracy is low, and similarly, the voltage value of Vgh and the duty ratio of CLK can be determined through repeated tests, and the problem of long test period and low accuracy also exists. In addition, the mode of setting the compensation threshold value, the voltage value of Vgh and the duty ratio of CLK (CLK) by the test is low in applicability, and when the display panels of different substrate boards are matched, the driving chip needs to be subjected to test again for obtaining, so that the driving compensation efficiency is low.
To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel including: a display area and a non-display area disposed around the display area; the display area comprises a plurality of scanning lines extending along a first direction and a plurality of data lines extending along a second direction; the scanning lines and the data lines are crossed to define each pixel area; the pixel region includes a pixel driving tube;

the driving chip is used for adjusting the scanning signals of the scanning lines according to the voltage feedback information.
In the embodiment of the invention, a sensing switch tube is arranged on a display panel, specifically, a display area of the display panel comprises a scanning line extending along a first direction and a data line extending along a second direction, and each pixel area is defined by the intersection of the scanning line and the data line; the pixel region includes a pixel driving tube capable of driving the light emitting unit.

In addition, the closed-loop compensation adjustment process does not need human intervention or repeated experiments, and effectively shortens the period of driving compensation.
The foregoing is the core idea of the present invention, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the display panel includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA, the display area AA includes a pixel area 11 arranged in an array, the display area includes a plurality of scan lines 12 extending along a first direction X and a plurality of data lines 13 extending along a second direction Y, the scan lines 12 and the data lines 13 intersect to define the pixel area 11 arranged in the array, and the pixel area 11 includes a pixel driving tube T1. Optionally, the pixel area 11 may further include an energy storage device such as a pixel electrode and a capacitor plate, so that the pixel area 11 can emit a display beam, which is not limited in this embodiment. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the display panel may be a liquid crystal display panel or an organic light emitting display panel, and the specific type of the display panel is not limited in this embodiment. The pixel driving tube T1 includes a control end, a first end and a second end, the scan line 12 adjacent thereto is connected to the control end of the pixel driving tube T1 for outputting a scan signal, the data line 13 adjacent thereto is connected to the first end of the pixel driving tube T1 for outputting a data signal, and the second end of the pixel driving tube T1 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode, thereby controlling the display of the pixel region 11.
It should be noted that the present embodiment further includes a sensing switch tube T0, and similarly, the sensing switch tube T0 includes a control end, a first end and a second end. In this embodiment, the control end of the sensing switch tube T0 is connected to the first end and connected to the corresponding scan line 11, so that the scan line 11 connected to the control end of the sensing switch tube T0 may be marked as a scan line S1 in this embodiment, and the scan line S1 drives a plurality of pixel driving tubes T1 as well, that is, the control ends of the plurality of pixel driving tubes T1 are connected to the scan line S1, that is, the scan line S1 can drive the pixel driving tubes T1 and the sensing switch tube T0 at the same time, that is, the driving pixel driving tubes T1 and the sensing switch tube T0 acquire the same scan signal, and have the same driving environment. The second end of the sensing switch tube T0 outputs voltage feedback information to the driving chip 14 through the feedback line D0, and then the control end of the sensing switch tube T0 is connected with the same scanning line S1 as the control end of the pixel driving tube T1, so that the same scanning signal can be obtained, and the driving environment where the pixel driving tube T1 is located can be directly obtained according to the voltage feedback information output to the driving chip 14 from the second end of the sensing switch tube T0, and even the capability of the display panel for driving the pixel driving tube T1 can be presumed. The voltage feedback information fed back by the sensing switch tube T0 is direct and accurate, so that the driving capability of the gate driving circuit 15 can be reflected in real time, and the driving chip 14 can regulate the scanning signal output by the gate driving circuit 15 to the scanning line 12 according to the voltage feedback information.
In the invention, only the self-adaptive driving compensation function of the driving chip 14 is required to be started, manual intervention is not required, no matter what condition the driving is insufficient, the driving is accurately obtained through the sensing switch tube T0, the grid driving circuit 15 is automatically closed-loop regulated through a program algorithm, the efficiency is higher, the starting value of a compensation program is not required to be obtained through trial and error, the voltage value of Vgh and the duty ratio of CLK are also not required to be obtained through trial and error, and the compensation process is more accurate.
Alternatively, the width-to-length ratio of the channel of the sensing switching tube may be smaller than the width-to-length ratio of the channel of the pixel driving tube. In this embodiment, the sensing switch tube T0 and the pixel driving tube T1 are in the same driving environment, and specifically, the gate of the sensing switch tube T0 and the gate of the pixel driving tube T1 are connected to the same scanning line S1, and if the performance of the sensing switch tube T0 and the performance of the pixel driving tube T1 are identical, the conduction states of the sensing switch tube T0 and the pixel driving tube T1 are identical. If the feedback information of the voltage output from the sensing switch tube T0 to the driving chip 14 is weak, it indicates that the driving force of the sensing switch tube T0 is insufficient, and at this time, the driving force of the pixel driving tube T1 is insufficient, and the scanning signal output from the gate driving circuit needs to be adjusted. For example, if the scanning signal is at a high level, the pixel driving tube T1 and the sensing switch tube T0 are turned on, the feedback line may detect that the voltage feedback signal is at a high level, and if the scanning signal has insufficient driving force, the sensing switch tube T0 may not be completely turned on, and if the feedback line does not detect the high level, it is indicated that the scanning signal may not turn on the pixel driving tube T1 or the sensing switch tube T0.
On the basis, when the sensing switch tube T0 is arranged, the width-to-length ratio of the channel of the sensing switch tube T0 is controlled to be smaller than that of the channel of the pixel driving tube T1. The sense switching tube T0 is more difficult to drive than the pixel driving tube T1, and under the same driving environment, the sense switching tube T0 recognizes the problem of insufficient driving earlier than the pixel driving tube T1. The pixel driving tube T1 is in charging deficiency (the scanning signal is weaker), the sensing switch tube T0 cannot be turned on earlier, so that the voltage feedback information fed back by the feedback line D0 shows voltage deficiency earlier, the driving chip 14 program is convenient to quickly and timely adjust the gate driving circuit, the pixel driving tube T1 is compensated by the scanning signal, the compensation accuracy of the gate driving circuit is improved, and preferably, the driving compensation process can be completed according to the voltage feedback information output by the sensing switch tube T0 under the condition that the pixel driving tube T1 does not have charging deficiency, so that the display panel can maintain a better display effect in a driving compensation stage in time, and the display stability of the display panel is improved.
Alternatively, the line width of the scan line S1 connected to the sensing switch transistor T0 may be larger than that of the other scan lines 12. With continued reference to fig. 1, since the scan line S1 provides scan signals for the sensing switch tube T0 and the pixel driving tube T1 at the same time, compared with other scan lines 12, the line load of the scan line S1 is larger, and the signal may be delayed more than that of the other scan lines 12, in this embodiment, the line width of the scan line S1 is larger than that of the other scan lines 12, and the delay problem of the scan line S1 can be compensated to a certain extent, so that the charging time of the sensing switch tube T0 is the same as the charging time of the pixel driving tube T1 connected with the other scan lines 12, and the accuracy of the voltage feedback information output from the sensing switch tube T0 to the driving chip 14 is further improved, thereby further improving the accuracy of the driving compensation of the pixel driving circuit.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a driving chip according to an embodiment of the present invention, and optionally, the driving chip 14 may include: a sampling circuit 141 and an algorithm circuit 142; the sampling circuit 141 is configured to obtain a feedback voltage value according to the voltage feedback information; the algorithm circuit 142 is configured to compare the feedback voltage value with the current voltage value of the first power signal Vgh, and obtain a combination of the voltage value of the first power signal Vgh and the duty cycle of the first clock signal CLK according to the comparison result.
The present embodiment exemplifies a specific compensation process of the pixel driving circuit by the driving chip. In a specific example, the driving chip 14 may include a sampling circuit 141 and an algorithm circuit 142, where the sampling circuit 141 can collect voltage feedback information output by the sensing switch tube T0, and calculate a corresponding feedback voltage value according to the voltage information, and the algorithm circuit 142 compares the feedback voltage value with a data voltage output by the first data line D1, for example, if the sensing switch tube T0 is completely turned on under the control of the scan line S1, the scan signal (typically, the voltage value of the first power signal Vgh) output by the scan line S1 to the first end of the sensing switch tube T0 is output from the second end of the sensing switch tube T0 without any voltage drop, and at this time, the feedback voltage value is identical to the scan signal. Conversely, if the difference between the scan signal output by the scan line S1 and the feedback voltage value output by the sense switching tube T0 is larger, the problem of insufficient driving of the sense switching tube T0 can be more described. If the signal output to the sensing switch tube T0 through the scan line S1 is set to be a high level signal, the sensing switch tube T0 is turned on, when the sensing switch tube T0 is fully turned on, the feedback voltage value is a high level signal (the voltage value of the first power supply signal Vgh), when the sensing switch tube T0 cannot be fully turned on due to insufficient driving, the feedback voltage value cannot reach the high level signal, accordingly, the algorithm circuit 142 obtains the combination of the voltage value of the first power supply signal Vgh and the duty ratio of the first clock signal CLK according to the comparison result, so as to reduce the power consumption as much as possible under the condition of increasing the driving force, because the adjustment of the Vgh voltage value and the duty ratio of CLK has direct influence on the power consumption, the embodiment automatically selects the optimal Vgh voltage value and the CLK duty ratio through the automatic closed-loop adjustment in the driving chip 14, effectively reduces the power consumption, and avoids that the optimal Vgh voltage value and CLK duty ratio cannot be determined by manually setting the compensation threshold. In the embodiment, only the self-adaptive driving compensation function is started, no human intervention is needed, no matter what condition (such as low-temperature running condition) is not enough to be driven, the program algorithm can automatically perform closed-loop adjustment, and the efficiency is higher and more accurate.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and optionally, the display panel may further include: a gate driving circuit 15 disposed in the non-display area NA; the gate driving circuit 15 includes a shift register 151 of a multistage cascade connection; the shift registers 151 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the scanning lines; the driving chip 14 is electrically connected with the shift register 151; the shift register 151 is configured to output the adjusted scan signal to the corresponding scan line according to a combination of the voltage value of the first power signal Vgh and the duty ratio of the first clock signal CLK.
The driving chip 14 sends a control signal to the gate driving circuit 15 through the gate driving circuit common wiring, so that each stage of the shift register 151 outputs a corresponding scanning signal to the corresponding scanning line 12 to drive each pixel driving tube. As shown in fig. 3, optionally, the driving chip 14 is electrically connected to the shift register 151 through a common wiring of the gate driving circuit; the common wiring of the grid driving circuit at least comprises a start Signal (STV) line, a first power signal line, a second power signal line, a first clock signal line and a second clock signal line; the voltage value of the first power supply signal Vgh output by the first power supply signal line is larger than that of the second power supply signal output by the second power supply signal line. In general, the first power signal Vgh is a high level with a fixed amplitude, and the second power signal Vgl is a low level with a fixed amplitude, so that the amplitude of the scanning signal can be controlled; the first clock signal CLK and the second clock signal XCLK have the same timing and opposite phases, and can control the duty ratio of the scan signal, and the driving chip 14 outputs the combination of the voltage value of the first power signal Vgh and the duty ratio of the first clock signal CLK to the gate driving circuit 15, so that the gate driving circuit 15 outputs the scan signal adjusted according to the first power signal Vgh and the first clock signal CLK to the corresponding scan line 12. Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 3, the feedback line D0 is disposed in the non-display area NA. Thereby avoiding the feedback line D0 from influencing the opening ratio and the display brightness of the display area AA and improving the display effect of the display panel. Alternatively, the feedback line D0 occupies a width of 2 μm to 3 μm in the non-display area NA. The feedback line D0 occupies only 2um to 3um in width in the non-display area NA, and does not affect the narrow frame arrangement of the display panel.
Optionally, the sensing switch tube T0 and the feedback line D0 are both disposed in the non-display area NA. Further, the influence of the sensing switch tube T0 and the feedback line D0 on the opening ratio and the display brightness of the display area AA is avoided, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
Optionally, the display panel may further include: a gate drive circuit 15; the gate driving circuit 15 is located in the non-display area NA and is disposed near the first side L1 of the display area; the sensing switch tube T0 is arranged close to the second side L2 of the display area; the first side L1 and the second side L2 of the display area are disposed opposite to each other.
In an example of the present invention, if the sensing switch tube T0 is disposed in the non-display area NA, the sensing switch source T0 may be disposed on a side of the display area AA away from the audit driving circuit 15, and in this embodiment, the display area AA may include two opposite sides: a first side L1 and a second side L2; the gate driving circuit 15 is disposed near the first side L1 of the display area AA and is located in the non-display area NA, and the sensing switch tube T0 is disposed near the second side L2 of the display area AA. The gate driving circuit 15 and the sensing switch T0 are not disposed on the same side of the display area AA, so that the width of the non-display area NA on the same side is effectively reduced, and the sensing switch T0 is located at the tail end of the scan line 12. It should be noted that, because the head end of the scan line 12 receives the scan signal output by the gate driving circuit 15, the head end of the scan line 12 is not easy to have a problem of insufficient driving, or the head end of the scan line 12 has a stronger capability of driving the pixel driving tube T1 than the tail end of the scan line 12.
