Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the application. And embodiments of the application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments, which can be made by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts, based on the described embodiments of the present application fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Unless defined otherwise, technical or scientific terms used herein should be given the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terms "first," "second," and the like, as used herein, do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another. The word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that elements or items preceding the word are included in the element or item listed after the word and equivalents thereof, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "connected," and the like, are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
It should be noted that the dimensions and shapes of the figures in the drawings do not reflect true proportions, and are intended to illustrate the present application only. And the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.
In the related art, one of the ways to control the light emitting device of the light emitting substrate is pulse width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM), which indicates luminance data by repeating high level/low level and using the length of the high level section, but each frame corresponds to only one pulse of the PWM signal. Thus, when the light emitting substrate is applied to a display product, flicker (referred to as visual Flicker) observable by human eyes occurs when the refresh frequency of the unit frame is slow. One of the solutions for the visual Flicker in the related art is to use dc current control when controlling the display brightness under a specific constant system with low gray scale, but this method needs to ensure the accuracy of dc current control, which is not easy to be implemented. Another way to solve the visual Flicker is to increase the refresh rate by dividing the unit frame into subframes for transmission, but this way requires the refresh rate of the clock signal to be designed very fast, so the complexity of the hardware becomes large and the size increases, resulting in an increase in cost. Also, when the light emitting substrate is applied to a display product, there may be invisible flickers in addition to the visible flickers. Invisible flickers may be defined as flickers that, although not visible to the naked eye, are viewable through the lens of a display product camera. The presence of invisible flickers has an impact on the vision and neurological health of the user.
An embodiment of the present application provides a light-emitting substrate, as shown in fig. 1, including: a plurality of light emitting areas 1 arranged in an array; each light emitting region 1 includes a driving chip diode and at least one light emitting unit 4 electrically connected to the driving chip diode;
as shown in fig. 2, the driver chip diode includes:
a brightness data determining module 01, configured to determine brightness data of a light emitting area of a current frame;
The logic control module 02 is electrically connected with the brightness data determining module and is used for: generating a pulse width modulation signal and a driving signal of a light emitting unit corresponding to the pulse width modulation signal according to the brightness data of the current frame, and outputting the driving signal at a preset moment; as shown in fig. 3, the pulse width modulation signal P1 includes a plurality of first sub-pulses P', and the driving signal includes a plurality of second sub-pulses, where the second sub-pulses correspond to the first sub-pulses; the preset time is the starting time of the first sub-pulse.
The pulse width modulation signal determined by the driving chip comprises a plurality of first sub-pulses, the driving signal of the light emitting unit corresponds to the pulse width modulation signal, and the driving signal corresponding to one frame of brightness data consists of a plurality of second sub-pulses. Under the condition that the total duration of a frame of pulse width modulation signal and a driving signal is not changed, the refreshing frequency of the first sub-pulse is larger than the refreshing frequency of one pulse of the pulse width modulation signal in the related art, and correspondingly, the refreshing frequency of the driving signal can be provided, so that a visible Flicker can be avoided. In addition, as the brightness data is not refreshed in a subframe mode, the design difficulty and cost of the control module of the light-emitting substrate can be prevented from being increased. In addition, after the logic control module included in the driving chip obtains the brightness data of the current frame to generate the driving signal, the driving signal is updated at the beginning time of the first sub-pulse, so that the periodicity of the driving signal output by the driving chip DIMMER can be ensured, invisible Flicker caused by the periodicity of the driving signal being destroyed is avoided, and the influence on the eyesight and nerve health of a user is avoided.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the light emitting substrate further includes a first control module DCON; the first control module DCON is electrically connected with a driving chip DIMMER which is included in the plurality of light emitting areas;
The first control module DCON is configured to: and sending a communication signal corresponding to the brightness data of the current frame light emitting area to a driving chip DIMMER.
Correspondingly, the brightness data determining module is used for determining brightness data of the current frame light-emitting area, and specifically comprises the following steps: and processing the communication signal to obtain the brightness data of the light-emitting area of the current frame. In a specific implementation, for example, the luminance data determining module demodulates the communication signal to obtain communication data, and processes the communication data to obtain a data frame (for example, frame frequency data), that is, luminance data. Wherein, the communication data may be data reflecting a light emitting duration of the light emitting unit. The light emitting time length required by the light emitting unit connected with the driving chip DIMMER can be known according to the data frame, so that the logic control module generates a corresponding pulse width control signal based on the light emitting time length.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the first sub-pulse P' includes a first level signal H1 for a first period t2 and a second level signal L1 for a second period t3, which are sequentially applied, the first level signal H1 being a high level signal and the second level signal L1 being a low level signal.
Correspondingly, the second sub-pulse comprises a third level signal and a fourth level signal which are sequentially applied, wherein the third level signal is a high level signal, and the fourth level signal is a low level signal.
In particular, the luminance data is data reflecting a light emission period of the light emitting unit, and thus, a pulse width control signal is generated according to the luminance data, and a pulse width modulation signal generated according to the pulse width control signal corresponds to the light emission period required by the light emitting unit. The driving signal is matched with the pulse width modulation signal, and a plurality of second sub-pulses included in the driving signal correspond to a plurality of first sub-pulses included in the pulse width modulation signal. Therefore, the driving signal generated under the control of the pulse width modulation signal may reflect the light emission duration required for the light emitting unit. Under the condition of ensuring the periodicity of the driving signals, the number of the first sub-pulses is the same as the number of the second sub-pulses in the driving signals and the pulse width modulation signals corresponding to the luminance data of the current frame, the duration of the third level signal is the same as the duration of the first level signal, and the duration of the fourth level signal is the same as the duration of the second level signal.
In an implementation, the plurality of driving chips dim receive luminance data from the first control module DCON on a unit frame basis. At this time, the first control module DCON and the plurality of driving chips DIMMER operate in independent asynchronous states, and thus it is difficult to ensure the periodicity of the driving signals. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the frame data update time, that is, the luminance data update time is t '1, and t'1 is earlier than the start time t '2 of the second sub-pulse of the driving signal in the normal period, if the driving signal is updated at the time t'1, the duration t3 'of the b-section of the driving signal before the time t'1 is smaller than the complete duration t3 of the low-level signal in the second sub-pulse in the normal period; as shown in fig. 5, t '1 is later than the start time t '2 of the second sub-pulse of the driving signal, if the driving signal is updated at time t '1, the duration t3' of the b interval of the driving signal before time t '1 is longer than the complete duration t3 of the low-level signal in the second sub-pulse of the normal period; both the cases shown in fig. 4 and 5 destroy the periodicity of the drive signal, resulting in invisible Flicker. Since the first control module DCON and the plurality of driving chips DIMMER operate in independent asynchronous states, it is difficult to ensure that the timing of updating the driving signal after receiving the frame data is the start timing of the first sub-pulse. In addition, when the brightness of the light emitting area is low gray scale, the time of the low level signal is relatively longer than that of the high gray scale, so that the invisible Flicker caused by the non-periodicity of the driving signal corresponding to the low gray scale is more obvious.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the current frame brightness data is updated at time t '1 and a driving signal is generated, and the driving signal is updated at time t'2, and even if t '1 and t'2 are different times, each driving chip dim updates the driving signal including a plurality of second sub-pulses according to the operation clock matched with the duration of the first sub-pulse, so that the output of the invisible Flicker caused by the aperiodic driving signal can be avoided.
In a specific implementation, if the refresh frequency of the unit frame is 60 hertz (Hz), that is, the refresh frequency of the pwm signal is 60Hz, the number of the first sub-pulses included in the pwm signal and the refresh frequency of the first sub-pulses are as shown in table one. An improvement in refresh frequency can be achieved as long as a plurality of subframes are included, compared to a pulse width modulation signal including only one pulse and having a refresh frequency of 60Hz in the related art.
Table one:
in implementation, according to table one, the greater the number of first sub-pulses, the higher the refresh frequency of the first sub-pulses, and accordingly the more advantageous to avoid visual Flicker. The number of first sub-pulses may be set according to actual needs. The number of first sub-pulses may be set, for example, according to the refresh frequency that the driver chip can achieve.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the duration t1 of each first sub-pulse P' included in the pulse width modulated signal P1 is equal.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, the duration of the first level signal H1 is t2 and the duration of the second level signal L1 is t3, different brightnesses may be achieved by adjusting the duty ratios of t2 and t3, for example, in fig. 2, t2=t3, that is, the duration of the first level signal H1 is t2 and the duration of the second level signal L1 is t3 each accounting for 50% of the duration t1 of the first sub-pulse P', and the gray scale of the light emitting area corresponding to the pulse width modulated signal is 50%. If the gray level of the light emitting area is greater than 50%, t2 is greater than t3, and if the gray level of the light emitting area is less than 50%, t2 is less than t3.
It should be noted that, in the plurality of first sub-pulses P' included in the pwm signal P1, the duration t2 of the first level signal H1 is equal, and the duration t3 of the second level signal L1 is equal. If the pwm signal includes N first sub-pulses, the total duration of the first level signal H1 of the pwm signal is n×t2, the total duration of the second level signal L1 is n×t3, the duration t4=nxt1 of the pwm signal, the total duty ratio n×t2/t4 of the first level signal H1 is still t2/t1, and the total duty ratio n×t3/t4 of the second level signal L1 is still t3/t1, that is, the light emitting substrate provided in the embodiment of the present application divides the pwm signal into a plurality of first sub-pulses, so that the refresh frequency of the first sub-pulses can be improved without changing the total duty ratio of the high level signal and the low level signal, that is, while maintaining the brightness of the light emitting area.
In some embodiments, the preset time is the start time of the first sub-pulse after the generation of the drive signal.
So that the drive signal can be updated fastest while ensuring the periodicity of the drive signal.
In fig. 6 and 7, the example is illustrated in which the time t '1 at which the current frame luminance data is updated and the driving signal is generated is not equal to the first sub-pulse start time t '2, and the time t '2 in fig. 6 and 7 is the start time of the first sub-pulse after the driving signal is generated. If the time t '1 of updating the current frame brightness data and generating the driving signal is equal to the first sub-pulse start time t '2, the time t '1 is the start time of the first sub-pulse after generating the driving signal.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the light emitting substrate further includes a second control module TCON for providing a first control signal to the first control module DCON, where the first control module DCON determines a communication signal of each light emitting area of the current frame according to the first control signal.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the driving chips DIMMER are electrically connected to the first control module DCON through the first signal line 5, and in the extending direction of the first signal line 5, the driving chips DIMMER of a column of light emitting regions are electrically connected to the same first signal line 5.
In the embodiment, one light emitting region may include one light emitting unit, or may include a plurality of light emitting units 4 as shown in fig. 1. When one light emitting region includes a plurality of light emitting units, the driving chip DIMMER outputs a driving signal to each light emitting unit 4.
In some embodiments, the light emitting unit includes at least one light emitting device. I.e. the light emitting unit may comprise only one light emitting device or may comprise a plurality of light emitting devices. When the light emitting unit includes a plurality of light emitting devices, the plurality of light emitting devices may be connected in series or in parallel.
In some embodiments, the light emitting device is a micro-sized inorganic light emitting diode device.
In particular embodiments, the Micro-sized inorganic light emitting Diode is, for example, a Mini light emitting Diode (MINI LIGHT EMITTING Diode) or a Micro light emitting Diode (Micro LIGHT EMITTING Diode). Mini-LEDs and Micro-LEDs are small in size and high in brightness, and can be widely applied to display devices or backlight modules thereof. For example, typical dimensions (e.g., length) of Micro-LEDs are less than 100 microns, such as 10 microns to 80 microns; typical dimensions (e.g., length) of Mini-LEDs are 80 microns to 350 microns, such as 80 microns to 120 microns. The electronic component may be at least one of a Micro-LED or a Mini-LED.

In addition, as the brightness data is not refreshed in a subframe mode, the design difficulty and cost of the control module of the light-emitting substrate can be prevented from being increased. In addition, according to the driving method of the light-emitting substrate, the driving signal is updated at the starting time of the first sub-pulse, so that the periodicity of the driving signal can be guaranteed, invisible Flicker caused by the fact that the periodicity of the driving signal is damaged is avoided, and the influence on eyesight and nerve health of a user is avoided.
