S3: acquiring a gamma driving voltage to drive a display panel;
specifically, after the gamma driving voltage is obtained by the timing control module 400, the timing control module 400 outputs the gamma driving voltage to a Source driver chip (Source IC) to generate sub-gamma driving voltages corresponding to different gray scales to drive the display panel 200 to display.
S4: repeating the step S2 in the vertical blanking period of the next frame until the display panel exits the variable refresh rate mode;

As shown in fig. 2, a second embodiment of the present application is a further limitation of the first embodiment of the present application, and discloses a gamma voltage adjusting method, where the step S2 specifically includes:
s21: acquiring a target refresh rate;
s22: acquiring the refresh rate of the current frame according to the duration of the vertical blanking period of the current frame;
specifically, in the current frame period of the display panel 200, the timing control module 400 is used for detecting, the timing control module 400 uses the ending time of the display stage in the current frame period as the starting time, uses the starting time of the display stage of the next frame as the ending time, uses the time difference between the ending time and the starting time as the time length of the vertical blanking period in the current frame period, and determines the refresh rate of the current frame according to the time length of the vertical blanking period to obtain the refresh rate of the current frame, wherein in this embodiment, the time lengths of a plurality of vertical blanking periods and the refresh rate corresponding to each vertical blanking period need to be stored in advance, so that after the timing control module 400 obtains the vertical blanking period in the current frame period in real time, the refresh rate of the current frame can be directly compared with the preset time length of the vertical blanking period, thereby quickly obtaining the refresh rate of the current frame.
S23: acquiring gamma compensation voltage corresponding to the refresh rate of the current frame according to the refresh rate of the current frame and the target refresh rate;
specifically, after the timing control module 400 detects the refresh rate of the current frame, the corresponding gamma compensation voltage stored in advance is selected according to the difference between the refresh rate of the current frame and the target refresh rate.
S24: calculating the gamma driving voltage of the display panel according to the gamma compensation voltage and the gamma reference voltage of the current frame;
specifically, the gamma compensation voltage is output to the timing control module 400, and the timing control module 400 receives the gamma compensation voltage and the gamma reference voltage of the current frame and combines the gamma compensation voltage and the gamma reference voltage as the gamma driving voltage, wherein when the gamma driving voltage drives the display panel 200, the brightness of the current frame and the target refresh rate at the same gray scale are the same or nearly the same.
S25: writing the acquired gamma driving voltage in a vertical blanking period of a next frame;
specifically, after the timing control module 400 obtains the gamma driving voltage, the gamma driving voltage is written in the vertical blanking period of the next frame, so that the display panel 200 drives the display panel 200 by using the gamma driving voltage in the display stage of the next frame.
In the gamma adjusting method described in this embodiment, a duration of a vertical blanking period is detected in real time in a vertical blanking period of a current frame, a refresh rate of the current frame is obtained according to the detected duration of the vertical blanking period, a corresponding gamma compensation voltage stored in advance is selected according to a difference between the refresh rate of the current frame and a preset target refresh rate, the gamma compensation voltage is output to the timing control module 400, the timing control module 400 obtains a gamma driving voltage through the gamma compensation voltage and a gamma reference voltage of the current frame, the gamma driving voltage is written in the vertical blanking period of a next frame, the gamma driving voltage drives the display panel 200 to display a picture in a display stage of the next frame of the display panel 200, so as to perform brightness correction on the display panel 200, so that the brightness difference of the display panel 200 at different refresh frequencies or display flickers is improved, and in adjustment when the refresh rate changes, only one frame period delay exists, the brightness difference when the refresh rate changes is displayed due to a short time, so that the brightness difference or the flicker phenomenon of the display panel 200 is difficult to perceive, and the effect of displaying the current frame is easily interpreted as a frame n +2, which is the first frame.
Further, the value of the gamma compensation voltage is the sum of the gamma voltage value of the brightness difference between the refresh rate of the current frame and the target refresh rate and the leakage voltage in the vertical blanking period of the current frame, so that while the problem that the brightness of the display panel 200 flickers along with the change of the refresh rate when the refresh rate of the display panel 200 changes is solved, the problem that the actual display brightness of the display panel 200 is not matched with the target display brightness due to the leakage of the liquid crystal during the vertical blanking period is solved to a certain extent, and particularly in the case of a low refresh rate, the duration of the vertical blanking period is longer than the duration of the vertical blanking period during the high refresh rate when the refresh rate of the display panel 200 is low, so that the leakage of the liquid crystal during the vertical blanking period is longer when the refresh rate of the display panel 200 is low, and the brightness of the display panel 200 cannot reach the standard brightness value, and the leakage voltage of the liquid crystal is added to the gamma compensation voltage can improve the brightness difference of the display panel 200 at different refresh rates, and further enable the brightness difference of the display panel 200 to reach the standard brightness value.
Based on the above embodiment, the plurality of gamma compensation voltages are divided into a plurality of groups of data according to the preset target refresh rate, each group of data corresponds to a target refresh rate, each group of data is composed of at least two gamma compensation voltages, the gamma compensation voltages in each group of data are divided according to the refresh rate, and in order to better explain the above, the following explanation will be made with the target refresh rate being 100 hz:
when the refresh rate of the current frame is detected to be 66hz, calling the gamma compensation voltage stored in advance, firstly finding a group of data belonging to a target refresh rate of 100hz according to the target refresh rate, wherein the group of gamma compensation voltage data is divided into a plurality of data according to the numerical value of the refresh rate, a plurality of gamma compensation voltages in the group of data correspond to different refresh rate interval values according to the numerical value of the refresh rate, taking the refresh rate range of the display panel 200 as 48 hz-144 hz as an example, the 48 hz-52 hz is divided into a first interval, the 53 hz-75 hz is divided into a second interval, the 76 hz-96 hz is divided into a third interval, the 97 hz-110 hz is divided into a fourth interval, the 111 hz-125 hz is divided into a fifth interval, the 126 hz-144 hz is divided into a sixth interval, and at the moment, the refresh rate of the current frame is 66hz and is located in the second interval range, calling the gamma compensation voltage corresponding to the second interval to be output to a timing control circuit so as to improve the change of the display panel 200 due to the refresh rate; the interval division rule is only an example, and is not limited, and a designer may select the interval division rule according to an actual situation, and may divide a plurality of intervals according to the actual situation to improve the brightness correction accuracy of the display panel 200, and certainly, if the plurality of intervals need to be divided, the corresponding amount of stored data may also be correspondingly increased, so a simple calculation method may also be adopted to select the gamma compensation voltage, for example, the gamma voltage compensation values of the highest refresh rate 144hz and the lowest refresh rate 48hz are given, and then interpolation calculation is performed, which is not described herein again.
Further, when the corresponding gamma compensation voltage stored in advance is called and output to the timing control module 400, the MCU unit inside the timing control module 400 may be utilized to dynamically adjust the gamma compensation voltage in the PMIC according to the change of the refresh rate of the current frame, each I2C command corresponds to a gamma compensation voltage with a different frequency in the vertical blanking period, and the N I2C commands are output to switch different gamma compensation voltages, so that the brightness of the display panel 200 is close to the brightness of the target refresh rate, so as to keep the display brightness of the display panel 200 unchanged or almost similar, thereby improving the problem of display flicker caused by the brightness difference or display of the display panel 200 at different refresh frequencies.
Based on the above embodiment, the method further includes, between steps S1 and S2:
driving by using a preset color film substrate common voltage (CFvcom);
specifically, when the display panel 200 enters the variable refresh rate mode, the display panel is driven by using a preset color filter substrate common voltage, wherein the preset color filter substrate common voltage is a common voltage when the luminance of the display panel 200 is maximum at 255 gray levels, according to the V-T curve characteristic, the transmittance and luminance of the liquid crystal depend on a voltage difference between the CFvcom and the gamma driving voltage, and the luminance is brighter as the transmittance of the liquid crystal is higher as the gamma driving voltage is higher, according to this characteristic, the best CFvcom at 255 gray levels is found in the variable refresh rate mode to be used as the CFvcom when the display panel 200 enters the variable refresh rate module, and when the display panel 200 is switched to the normal display mode, the CFvcom in the normal display mode is used.
The display panel 200 has a plurality of gray scales, and the plurality of gamma driving voltages correspond to a plurality of gamma driving voltages; the display panel 200 is driven by calling different gamma driving voltages according to different gray scales, and after the timing control module 400 obtains the gamma compensation voltage, the gamma compensation voltage and the gamma reference voltage are output to a Source driver chip (Source IC), and the Source driver chip generates voltages of all gray scales by combining the gamma voltages inside the Source driver chip, and then outputs the gamma driving voltages of corresponding gray scales to drive the display panel 200.
Based on the above embodiment, the method further includes, between steps S1 and S2:
when the current frame enters a vertical blanking period, driving by using a preset array substrate common voltage (Avcom), wherein the preset array substrate common voltage is greater than the array substrate common voltage in the display stage of the current frame;
specifically, when the current frame enters the vertical blanking period, that is, when the current frame enters the Vblank interval, the liquid crystal is in a leakage state, but in this embodiment, by pulling up Avcom, the charge amount of the storage capacitor Cst is increased to partially offset the leakage, and the method is used in combination with the method of applying the gamma compensation voltage, so that the problem of brightness difference or flicker occurring when the display panel 200 switches the refresh rate can be better improved.
As shown in fig. 3, a third embodiment of the present application is an improvement of the first embodiment of the present application, and discloses a gamma voltage adjusting method, where the step S2 specifically includes:
s21': acquiring a target refresh rate;
s22': detecting the duration of the vertical blanking period of the current frame in real time, and writing an nth gamma compensation voltage into the time sequence control module when the duration of the vertical blanking period of the current frame reaches an nth preset value, wherein n is equal to 1;
specifically, the detection is performed by the timing control module 400, in a current frame period of the display panel 200, the timing control module 400 takes an ending time of a display stage in the current frame period as a starting time, obtains a time difference between the current time and the starting time in real time, and takes the time difference as a time length of a vertical blanking period in the current frame period obtained in real time, when the time length of the vertical blanking period in the current frame period obtained in real time reaches an nth preset value, an nth gamma compensation voltage corresponding to the nth preset value is written into the timing control module 400, so as to compensate the gamma voltage in the current frame, wherein n is a natural number;
s23': judging whether the vertical blanking period of the current frame is finished or not, and executing the step S3 if the vertical blanking period of the current frame is finished; if not, making n equal to n +1, and re-executing step S22';
specifically, when the duration of the vertical blanking period in the current frame period obtained in real time reaches the nth preset value, the nth gamma compensation voltage corresponding to the nth preset value is written into the timing control module 400, and whether the vertical blanking period of the current frame is finished is determined, if the vertical blanking period of the current frame is not finished, the timing control module 400 continues to obtain the duration of the vertical blanking period in the current frame period in real time, and determines whether the duration reaches the (n + 1) th preset value, if so, the (n + 1) th gamma compensation voltage corresponding to the (n + 1) th preset value is written, and the step S23' is repeated until the vertical blanking period of the current frame is finished.
