Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, embodiments accompanying the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application may be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Next, the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, and in the detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, the cross-sectional views illustrating the structure of the device are not enlarged partially according to the general scale for convenience of illustration, and the drawings are only examples, which should not limit the scope of the protection of the present application. In addition, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included in the actual fabrication.
When a certain picture is displayed on the display panel, a certain picture display time needs to be set so as to ensure that a viewer can fully realize visual retention, and therefore a continuous animation effect is formed when a plurality of pictures are refreshed. Therefore, for each picture displayed by the display panel, a display period needs to be set, in one display period, a plurality of frames are set, and the plurality of frames are played in sequence, so that smooth display of the picture is realized.
Currently, when a picture is not updated, the display panel may be switched from high frequency driving to low frequency driving to reduce power consumption. In the high-frequency driving mode, a plurality of frames in the display period can be all data writing (Refresh) frames, and data signals corresponding to a display picture are written into the pixel circuit in the data writing frames to drive display; in the low-frequency driving mode, a plurality of frames in the display period comprise a data writing frame and at least one data Holding (Holding) frame, the data writing frame is used for providing data signals corresponding to a writing display picture to the pixel circuit to drive display, the data Holding frame does not write the data signals any more, the data signals stored in the data writing frame are displayed according to the received Holding signals, and the display picture of the data writing frame is held.
The inventor of the present invention has found that, after the display panel is switched from the first mode to the second mode, in the first data retention frame in the second mode, the source of the driving Transistor receives the retention signal, and when the driving Transistor is a Thin Film Transistor (TFT), due to the characteristics of the TFT, the TFT may cause the threshold voltage to drift under long-time gate bias application, and further cause the display panel to have reduced luminance, thereby causing the display panel to flicker.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of luminance change of a display panel during switching from high frequency driving to low frequency driving is shown, where an abscissa is time in seconds and an ordinate is luminance, and during switching from a high image refresh rate of 120Hz to a low image refresh rate of 10Hz, luminance of the display panel is kept stable at the high image refresh rate, and after switching from high frequency driving to low frequency driving, luminance of the display panel in a first display period (about 1.5 s) under low frequency driving is lower than a stable value, the display panel flickers, and luminance returns to normal in a second display period under low frequency driving.
Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a display panel and a display device, the display panel includes a pixel circuit and a light emitting element, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor, a drain of the driving transistor is connected to the light emitting element for providing a driving current for the light emitting element, the display panel has a first mode and a second mode, each display period in the second mode includes a data writing frame and at least one data holding frame, in the data writing frame, a source of the driving transistor receives a data signal, and the driving transistor provides the driving current for the light emitting element according to the driving signal, in the data holding frame, the source of the driving transistor does not receive the data signal, and the driving transistor does not provide the driving current for the light emitting element, and the source of the driving transistor receives a holding signal, and the holding signal is greater than the data signal. After switching from the first mode to the second mode, since a drift of the driving transistor characteristics occurs in the data holding frame, which drift is compensated for in the second data writing frame in the second mode, a change in luminance easily occurs in the first display period in the second mode, and luminance is restored in the second display period, so that the display panel flickers after frequency switching.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode may be set to be different from the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode, so that by setting the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode in a targeted manner, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor can be compensated, the display luminance of the first display period in the second mode is compensated, and the luminance of the display panel in the first display period in the second mode and the luminance of the other display periods in the second mode tend to be consistent, so that the luminance of the display panel is kept stable all the time in a scene where different frequency driving is switched, and flicker of the display panel is avoided.
For a better understanding of the technical solutions and effects of the present application, specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of a display panel provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where the display panel includes a pixel circuit 10 and a light emitting element 20; the pixel circuit 10 includes a driving transistor Mm having a data input terminal, a control terminal and a data output terminal, wherein the data input terminal is a source of the driving transistor Mm for inputting a data signal to the driving transistor Mm, and may be connected to the data signal input terminal S2, the data output terminal is a drain of the driving transistor Mm, and is connected to the light emitting element 20 for supplying a driving current to the light emitting element 20, the control terminal is a gate of the driving transistor Mm, and may be connected to the control signal input terminal S1 for controlling the driving transistor Mm to be turned on or off, and when the driving transistor Mm is turned on, the drain of the driving transistor may supply a driving current to the light emitting element.
The display panel has a first mode and a second mode, each display period of the display panel in the second mode can include a data writing frame and a data holding frame, when data is written into the frame, the display panel can be driven to emit light through a data signal, that is, in the data writing frame, the source of the driving transistor receives the data signal, and the driving transistor provides a driving current for the light-emitting element according to the driving signal so as to drive the display panel to display a picture; in the data holding frame, the source of the driving transistor does not receive the data signal, the driving transistor does not supply the driving current to the light emitting element, and the source of the driving transistor receives the holding signal and holds the display image when the data is written into the frame according to the holding signal.
In the embodiment of the present application, the hold signal is greater than the data signal, the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode may range from 4 to 6V, and the voltage value of the hold signal may range from 6.5 to 7V. For example, the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode may be 5V, and the voltage value of the hold signal may be 6.5V.
In the embodiment of the present application, each display period in the second mode may include one data write frame and at least one data hold frame. The image refresh rate of the second mode may be set by setting the number of data holding frames, the number of data holding frames in the display period in the second mode being inversely proportional to the image refresh rate in the second mode, i.e., the more data holding frames are set, the smaller the image refresh rate of the display panel in the second mode. For example, if the base refresh rate of the display panel is 120Hz, and each display period in the second mode includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 19, 23, 29, 39, 59, or 119 data holding frames, the image refresh rate in the second mode can be adjusted to 60Hz, 40Hz, 30Hz, 24Hz, 20Hz, 15Hz, 12Hz, 10Hz, 8Hz, 6Hz, 5Hz, 4Hz, 3Hz, 2Hz, or 1Hz, respectively. Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a display period of the second mode according to the embodiment of the present application is shown, after a data write frame, there are N consecutive data holding frames, where N is an integer greater than 4.
After switching from the first mode to the second mode, since a drift of the driving transistor characteristics occurs in the data holding frame, which drift is compensated for in the second data writing frame in the second mode, a change in luminance easily occurs in the first display period in the second mode, and luminance is restored in the second display period, so that the display panel flickers after frequency switching.
In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode may be set to be different from the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode, so that by setting the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode in a targeted manner, the display luminance of the first display period in the second mode can be compensated, and the luminance of the display panel in the first display period in the second mode and the luminance of the other display periods in the second mode tend to be consistent, so that in a scene where different-frequency driving is performed for switching, the luminance of the display panel is kept stable all the time, and flicker of the display panel is avoided.
In the embodiment of the present application, the image refresh rate of the first mode may be greater than that of the second mode, i.e., switching from the first mode to the second mode to high-frequency driving to low-frequency driving, or the image refresh rate of the first mode may be less than that of the second mode, i.e., switching from the first mode to the second mode to low-frequency driving to high-frequency driving.
As an example, the image refresh rate of the first mode is greater than that of the second mode, and the duty ratio of the data write frame per display period in the first mode is greater than that of the data write frame per display period in the second mode. Each display period in the first mode may include repeated data write frames and no data retention frames, for example, the base refresh rate of the display panel may be 120Hz, the image refresh rate of the display panel in the first mode may be 120Hz, the image refresh rate of the display panel in the second mode may be 10Hz or 1Hz, etc.; or each display period in the first mode may include one data write frame and a plurality of data hold frames, and the number of the data hold frames in each display period in the first mode is smaller than the number of the data hold frames in each display period in the second mode, for example, the base refresh rate of the display panel is 120Hz, the image refresh rate of the display panel in the first mode is 60Hz, the image refresh rate of the display panel in the second mode is 10Hz or 1Hz, and the like.
In the embodiment of the present application, the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode is determined according to the voltage values of the data signals of the other data write frames in the second mode, the difference between the image refresh rate of the first mode and the image refresh rate of the second mode, and the gray scale of the display panel.
Specifically, the voltage value of the first data write frame in the second mode may be adjusted based on the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode, so that the brightness of the display panel of the first data write frame in the second mode and the brightness of the display panel of the other data write frame in the second mode tend to be consistent, that is, the brightness of the display panel tends to be stable after the first mode is switched to the second mode. In addition, if the difference between the image refresh rate in the first mode and the image refresh rate in the second mode is larger, which indicates that flicker is more likely to occur after mode switching, the difference between the voltage value of the data signal in the first data write frame in the second mode and the voltage value of the data signal in the other data write frame in the second mode is set to be larger, that is, the difference between the voltage value of the data signal in the first data write frame in the second mode and the voltage value of the data signal in the other data write frame in the second mode is positively correlated with the difference between the image refresh rate in the first mode and the image refresh rate in the second mode.
For the gray scale of the display panel, the difference between the luminance of the display panel in the first data writing frame in the second mode and the luminance of the display panel in the other data writing frames in the second mode is different under different gray scales, so that the voltage value of the data signal in the first data writing frame in the second mode can be adjusted to different degrees according to the gray scale of the display panel. When the gray scale of the display panel is larger than a first preset gray scale, after the display panel is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the brightness of the display panel in the first display period of the second mode is lower relative to the stable brightness of the display panel, and the larger the gray scale of the display panel is, the larger the brightness difference between the two is; when the gray scale of the display panel is smaller than the second preset gray scale, after the display panel is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the brightness of the display panel in the first display period of the second mode is higher than the stable brightness of the display panel, and the smaller the gray scale of the display panel is, the larger the brightness difference between the two is.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a gray scale of a display panel and a corresponding luminance variation of the display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, where an abscissa represents time and an ordinate represents luminance, where fig. 4B is a partial enlarged view of fig. 4A, and when the gray scale of the display panel is G255, the luminance of the display panel is greatly reduced within 1.15s to 1.31s after switching from the first mode to the second mode; referring to FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of another gray scale of the display panel and the corresponding brightness variation of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein FIG. 5B is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5A, and after the gray scale of the display panel is G127, the brightness of the display panel is reduced to a small extent within 1.45s-1.61 s; referring to fig. 6, a schematic diagram of another gray scale of the display panel and the corresponding luminance variation of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, wherein fig. 6B is a partially enlarged view of fig. 6A, and when the gray scale of the display panel is G63, the luminance of the display panel is substantially kept stable within 1.32s to 1.57 s.
In the embodiment of the present application, the difference between the image refresh rate in the first mode and the image refresh rate in the second mode is greater than the predetermined refresh rate, and the gray scale of the display panel is greater than the first predetermined gray scale, the brightness of the display panel decreases after the mode switching, for example, the first mode may be high frequency driving, the second mode may be low frequency driving, the image refresh rate difference is large, the display panel flickers, the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode is smaller than the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode, the brightness of the display panel is increased when the first data in the second mode is written into the frame by reducing the voltage value of the data signal of the first data in the second mode is written into the frame, to keep the brightness of the frame written with the other data in the second mode to be consistent, i.e., the display panel does not flicker.
In the embodiment of the present application, since the luminance difference between the first display period in the second mode and the other display periods in the second mode of the display panel is generally related to the difference between the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode and the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode, the ratio of the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode to the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frame in the second mode may be set to be greater than 0.9, so as to ensure the uniformity of the display luminance. For example, the voltage value of the data signal of the other data writing frame in the second mode may be 5V, and the voltage value of the data signal of the first data writing frame in the second mode may be 4.7V, so that the brightness of the display panel when the first data writing frame in the second mode is written into the frame and the brightness of the display panel when the other data writing frame in the second mode is written into the frame tend to be consistent, and the flicker of the display panel is avoided.
In this embodiment, a difference between the image refresh rate in the first mode and the image refresh rate in the second mode is greater than a preset refresh rate, and when the gray scale of the display panel is smaller than a second preset gray scale, it indicates that the brightness of the display panel is increased when the modes are switched, at this time, the first mode may be high-frequency driving, the second mode may be low-frequency driving, the difference in image refresh rate is large, and the display panel flickers, and then the voltage value of the data signal of the first data write frame in the second mode is greater than the voltage value of the data signal of the other data write frames in the second mode.

In the embodiment of the application, when the first mode is switched to the second mode, the data signal received by the source of the driving transistor may be detected to detect the voltage value of the data signal of the first data writing frame in the second mode and the voltage value of the data signal of the other data writing frame in the second mode, so as to ensure that the brightness of the display panel is kept stable.
