Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the 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.
As shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit in a display device, the driving circuit includes a power circuit 101, a timing controller 102, a gray-scale circuit 103, a source driving circuit 104, a gate driving circuit 105, and a system interface 106.
Signals from the system are supplied to the drive circuit via the system interface 106 with various display data and timing control signals, and a part of these data and signals is transmitted to the power supply circuit 101, and the other part is transmitted to the timing controller 102. The power supply circuit 101 receives data and signals from the system interface 106, and generates voltages (an operating voltage 1, an operating voltage 2, and an operating voltage 3) necessary for the operations of other circuits, and a liquid crystal deflection reference voltage Vcom; the timing controller 102 receives data and signals from the system interface 106, and generates timing control signals (timing control signal 1 and timing control signal 2) that control the operation timings of the source driving circuit 104, the gate driving circuit 105, and other circuits (not shown in fig. 1) in the display device. The gate driving circuit 105 is used to generate high and low level digital voltages, output the voltages to the gates of the TFT switches, and control the switching state of each row of pixels.
When the gate driving circuit 105 turns on the tfts of the lcd panel row by row, the source driving circuit 104 converts the signals from the timing controller 102 related to the display data into analog voltages to charge the liquid crystal capacitors Clc and the storage capacitors Cs on the lcd panel to desired gray scale voltages.
The timing controller 102 is a core circuit for controlling timing in the display device, and is used for controlling when the gate driving circuit 105 and the source driving circuit 104 are activated. As shown in fig. 2, the timing controller 102 converts the image data signals (VX1/eDP/LVDS) received through the system interface 106 into the timing control signal 1 and the timing control signal 2 to provide the gate driving circuit 105 and the source driving circuit 104 with the required control signals and levels, so that the lcd panel of the display device can display correctly. Meanwhile, the liquid crystal display panel comprises various image processing circuit modules (not shown in figures 1 and 2) aiming at the liquid crystal display panel, so as to improve the defects generated in the production of the display panel and existing in principle.
It should be noted that VX1 is also called V-by-One HS, which is a signal transmission interface standard suitable for flat panel displays. eDP (Embedded Display Port) is an internal digital interface based on the DisplayPort architecture and protocol. LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) is a Differential Signaling technique with Low power consumption, Low error rate, Low crosstalk, and Low radiation.
The source driver circuit 104 supplies a signal to the source line after the TFT is turned on, and charges the pixel electrode to a corresponding gray scale voltage. The structure of the source driver circuit 104 is divided into two blocks, a digital portion and an analog portion, as shown in fig. 3. The digital part comprises a Bi-directional Shift Register (S/R) 301, an Input Register 302, a Data Register 303 and a Level Shifter (L/S) 304; the Analog section includes a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) 305, an Output Buffer circuit (Output Buffer)306, and a Charge Sharing circuit (Charge Sharing) 307.
In the driving process of the TFT-LCD in the liquid crystal display panel, the difference value of positive and negative polarity gray scale voltages is large, the dynamic power consumption of the source electrode driving circuit 104 is large under the high-frequency action of hundreds of MHz, and the power consumption can be reduced by the charge sharing technology. In the high level period (high impedance state) of the STB shown in fig. 4 (which controls the output of the Data Latch signal and the Latch of the Input Register signal at the same time), before and after the polarity inversion of the gray-scale voltage on the connected odd-even channel, the connected channels are short-circuited by the charge sharing switch SW3, as shown in fig. 5. During this time, the gray scale voltages with positive and negative polarities in the previous frame image are respectively restored to near Vcom potential by neutralization. When the gray scale voltage of the next frame image is inverted, the gray scale voltage with positive and negative polarities only needs to be charged and discharged from the vicinity of the Vcom potential to the target voltage, namely, the voltage only needs to drive half of the amplitude value, the full swing is not needed, and the power consumption can be reduced.
In fig. 5, the switches SW1 and SW2 are charge switches, and when the switch SW1 is closed, the pixel electrode corresponding to the switch SW1 is charged, and when the switch SW2 is closed, the pixel electrode corresponding to the switch SW2 is charged.
As shown in fig. 6, the charge sharing state is a dot inversion driving method.
The conventional TCON provides a single charge sharing mode, which cannot satisfy the requirement of sufficiently reducing power consumption according to the real-time display state of the TFT-LCD display panel.
In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a circuit for selecting a charge sharing mode, applied to a display device, as shown in fig. 7, the circuit comprising: a summing module 61 and a minimum determination module 62;
a summing module 61 for calculating a sub-pixel sum value of sub-pixels in a previous display line that do not participate in charge sharing in the preset charge sharing mode, calculating an absolute value of a difference value of positive and negative sub-pixels in the previous display line, and calculating a total sum value of the sub-pixel sum value and the absolute value of the difference value, for each preset charge sharing mode and each display line in the current frame image;
and a minimum value determining module 62, configured to select a minimum total sum value from total sums corresponding to multiple preset charge sharing modes, and output the minimum total sum value and an identifier corresponding to the minimum total sum value to a source driving circuit of the display device, so that the source driving circuit controls enabling of the target charge sharing mode according to the identifier, and enables charge sharing between a previous display line and a current display line.
When the display picture is switched, the summation module is used for calculating the sub-pixel summation value of the sub-pixels which do not participate in charge sharing under the element and charge sharing mode in the previous display line and calculating the absolute value of the difference value between the positive sub-pixel summation value and the negative sub-pixel summation value and calculating the total summation value of the sub-pixel summation value and the absolute value of the difference value, wherein the positive sub-pixel summation value is the pixel summation value of the sub-pixels of which the pixel electrodes are positive in the previous display line, the negative sub-pixel summation value is the pixel summation value of the sub-pixels of which the pixel electrodes are negative in the previous display line, the minimum value determination module is used for selecting the minimum total summation value from the total summation values corresponding to a plurality of preset charge sharing modes and outputting the identification corresponding to the minimum total summation value to the source electrode driving circuit of the display device, and enabling the source electrode driving circuit to control the target charge sharing mode to enable according to the mark, and enabling the previous display line and the current display line to carry out charge sharing. According to the invention, the target charge sharing mode can be selected from a plurality of preset charge sharing modes according to the pixel value of the sub-pixel participating in charge sharing in each preset charge sharing mode and the pixel values of all the sub-pixels in the display line in each display line in the current frame image, and the target charge sharing mode is used for carrying out charge sharing on the previous display line and the current display line.
It should be noted that the number of the preset charge sharing modes in the embodiment of the present invention is multiple, and when the charge sharing mode is selected, one of the multiple preset charge sharing modes is selected as the target charge sharing mode.
As shown in fig. 8, a schematic diagram of an arrangement of sub-pixels in a TFT-LCD display panel in a display device is shown, where the TFT-LCD display panel includes 4 rows of sub-pixels, each row includes 6 sub-pixels, each 3 sub-pixels is a pixel unit, a data line, which may also be referred to as a source line, is arranged along a first direction, and a gate line is arranged along a second direction, a pixel electrode of a first sub-pixel of a first display row is positive, a pixel electrode of a second sub-pixel is negative, a pixel electrode of a third sub-pixel is positive, a pixel electrode of a fourth sub-pixel is negative, a pixel electrode of a fifth sub-pixel is positive, and a pixel electrode of a sixth sub-pixel is negative.
With reference to fig. 8, a charge sharing switch is disposed between two corresponding sub-pixels between two display rows, for example, a charge sharing switch is disposed between a first sub-pixel of a first display row and a first sub-pixel of a second display row, and when the first sub-pixel in the first display row and the first sub-pixel of the second display row need to perform charge sharing, the charge sharing switch is closed to implement charge sharing.
It should be noted that the charge sharing switch may be designed according to actual needs, for example, a charge sharing switch is disposed between the sub-pixels corresponding to each two adjacent display lines, and then the charge sharing switch that needs to be closed is selected according to the charge sharing mode, and for example, a charge sharing switch is disposed between the sub-pixels corresponding to the odd display line and the even display line, and then the charge sharing switch that needs to be closed is selected according to the charge sharing mode.
In the charge sharing mode, i.e., the mode in which the charge sharing switch is opened and closed in the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the charge sharing switch between the first subpixel of the first display row and the first subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 1, the charge sharing switch between the second subpixel of the first display row and the second subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 2, the charge sharing switch between the third subpixel of the first display row and the third subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 3, the charge sharing switch between the fourth subpixel of the first display row and the fourth subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 4, the charge sharing switch between the fifth subpixel of the first display row and the fifth subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 5, the charge sharing switch between the sixth subpixel of the first display row and the sixth subpixel of the second display row is the charge sharing switch 6, in the charge sharing mode 1, the charge sharing switch 2 and the charge sharing switch 4 are closed, and the charge sharing switch 3, the charge sharing switch 5 and the charge sharing switch 6 are opened; in the charge sharing mode 2, the charge sharing switch 1, the charge sharing switch 3, and the charge sharing switch 6 are closed, and the charge sharing switch 2, the charge sharing switch 4, and the charge sharing switch 5 are opened.
In a charge sharing mode, if the charge sharing switch is turned on, it means that the two sub-pixels corresponding to the charge sharing switch do not need to share charges, and if the charge sharing switch is turned off, it means that the two sub-pixels corresponding to the charge sharing switch need to share charges.
The circuit for selecting the charge sharing mode provided by the embodiment of the invention can be integrated in an intelligent Source Driver Control (Smart Source Driver Control) module in the TCON.
In a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 9, the summing module 61 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include a first calculating unit 611, a second calculating unit 612, and a total calculating unit 613;
