Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module in the related art, referring to fig. 1, in the related art, the backlight module is provided with light emitting units with different colors, for example, red, green and blue LEDs, the three color LEDs are respectively arranged in an array and are sequentially staggered, and a pixel unit on a display panel correspondingly provides a light source for the adjacent red, green and blue LEDs. Specifically, the display panel performs pixel color matching by adopting a field sequential driving color mixing mode, namely, for any one pixel unit, a pixel opening is formed, and in one display frame, three corresponding red, green and blue LEDs are respectively driven to be lightened in three display subframes, so that the color matching of the pixel unit is realized by utilizing the integral effect of human eyes on the three display subframes, and the specific color required by a picture is formed in the display frame, so that each pixel unit macroscopically displays the picture.
In a specific driving process, in a process of sequentially charging and turning on pixel units in a certain display subframe, corresponding LEDs are synchronously lightened. However, since there is a certain halo in the LED, that is, the light will be diffused to a certain extent after the LED is turned on, the LED will also have a certain backlight light for the pixel units that are not turned on by charging nearby. The existing display panel is generally a liquid crystal display panel, and the liquid crystal unit of the existing display panel generally has light leakage to a certain extent, so that the pixel unit which is in a closed state is enabled to emit light, namely to be lightened in abnormal time, and therefore the pixel unit of the display subframe cannot display in accurate color and brightness, and the phenomenon of color cast of display occurs.
Based on the technical problems described above, the embodiment of the invention provides a driving method of a display device. Firstly, the display device comprises a backlight module and a display panel, wherein the display panel is positioned on the light emitting side of the backlight module; the backlight module comprises a plurality of light-emitting units with various colors; the display panel comprises a plurality of independent control areas, wherein each independent control area comprises at least one pixel unit, and each independent control area is correspondingly provided with one light-emitting unit with different colors. The display device includes a plurality of refresh frames during an operation time, each refresh frame including a plurality of driving periods.

charging pixel units in the display panel;
and sequentially or synchronously lighting the light-emitting units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas with which the pixel units are charged.
According to the technical scheme, the pixel units in the display panel are firstly charged, and then the light-emitting units corresponding to the independent control areas where the charged pixel units are located are lightened, so that when the light-emitting units are lightened, the pixel units in the independent control areas corresponding to the light-emitting units can be lightened, light rays emitted and diffused by the light-emitting units can form backlight of the corresponding independent control areas, and therefore when the pixel units which are not fully charged and the pixel units which are not fully charged exist in adjacent sub-pixels at the same time, the backlight which is lightened correspondingly to the pixel units which are not fully charged can be prevented from being diffused into the pixel units which are not fully charged, brightness which is not required to exist is generated by the pixel units which are not fully charged, and accurate display of the pixel units is affected.

Fig. 1 is a top view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, first, the display device includes a backlight module 100 and a display panel 200 (the backlight module 100 and the display panel 200 overlap due to the viewing angle problem in the figure), and the display panel 200 is located at the light emitting side of the backlight module 100; the backlight module 100 includes a plurality of light emitting units 110 of a plurality of colors; the display panel 200 includes a plurality of independent control regions 210, the independent control regions 210 include at least one pixel unit 211, and each independent control region 210 is correspondingly provided with a respective light emitting unit 110 of a different color. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a driving method of the display device shown in fig. 1, fig. 3 is a driving timing chart of the driving method of the display device shown in fig. 2, and referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, a driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a display device according to the above embodiment. Based on the structure of the display device described above, the display device may include a plurality of refresh frames T each including a plurality of driving periods T during an operation time when driving display. The driving period t is understood herein as a display subframe, and generally, the light emitting units 110 of three colors of red, green and blue are disposed in the display device, and accordingly, three display subframes of red, green and blue are disposed. The embodiment of the invention is mainly limited to the driving process of each display subframe, and specifically, in any driving period t, the driving method comprises the following steps:
s110, charging the pixel units in the display panel.
First, as shown in fig. 1, the display panel 200 is exemplified as a liquid crystal display panel, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that each pixel unit 211 in the liquid crystal display panel has a liquid crystal pixel and a pixel driving circuit, and the pixel driving circuit is responsible for controlling the on and off of the liquid crystal pixel, that is, controlling whether the backlight is emitted or not and the transmittance of the backlight through the cooperation of the liquid crystal pixels, which is macroscopically embodied as controlling whether the pixel unit is lighted or not and the brightness of the pixel unit. The pixel driving circuit is generally provided with a storage capacitor for storing data voltages, and is used for stably controlling the opening of the liquid crystal pixels in the releasing process. The backlight is provided by the backlight module 100, in which the light emitting units 110 are disposed, and as exemplified above, when the light emitting units 110 of three colors of red, green and blue are disposed in the backlight module 100, the three light emitting units 110 of red, green and blue may form a backlight unit capable of being independently controlled, and the pixel area formed by at least one pixel unit 211 may be correspondingly controlled on the display panel 200, that is, the independent control area 210. The pixel units 211 in the independent control region 210 are independently controlled by the three red, green and blue light emitting units 110 to provide backlight, and the three red, green and blue light emitting units 110 control lighting in three display subframes according to a field sequential driving color mixing scheme. As illustrated in fig. 1, one independent control region 210 is provided with one row of light emitting units 110 of three colors red, green and blue, respectively.
Based on the above display device structure, this step charges the pixel unit 211 in the display panel 200, essentially charges the storage capacitor of the pixel driving circuit in the pixel unit 211, and performs the charging process at the t_1 stage shown in fig. 3. During the charging process, the liquid crystal pixel is not turned on or is not turned on stably, and the pixel unit 211 is turned off or is not turned on normally.
And S120, sequentially or synchronously lighting the light-emitting units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas with which the pixel units are charged.
This step is a process of turning on the backlight to light the pixel units 211 in the entire independent control area 210 after the pixel units 211 in the independent control area 210 are charged, and the backlight lighting process is performed at the t_2 stage as shown in fig. 3. Taking this driving period t as an example of a red display subframe, and an independent control region 210 is correspondingly provided with a row of red light emitting units 1101, when the row of red light emitting units 1101 are turned on, the pixel units 211 in the independent control region 210 are all provided with red backlight and can be turned on as red pixels. Therefore, when the red light emitting unit 1101 corresponding to the independent control area 210 with the charged pixel units is turned on, it means that the pixel units 211 in the independent control area 210 need to be charged before the red light emitting unit 1101 is turned on, and the pixel units 211 with the charged pixel units 211 are in a stable on state, and at this time, the pixel units 211 in the whole independent control area 210 can be stably turned on as red pixels. The lighting units 110 of the independent control areas 210 that complete the charging of the pixel units are turned on sequentially or synchronously, which means that the multiple independent control areas 210 in the display panel can be turned on synchronously or sequentially.
Based on the lighting process of the light emitting units, each of the independent control regions 210 is charged when the backlight is lighted, that is, the pixel units 211 are turned on. When one of the adjacent pixel units 211 in the same independent control area 210 has completed charging and the other has not completed charging, the pixel unit 211 which has not completed charging will not be abnormally lighted due to light leakage or light diffusion of the pixel unit 211 which has completed charging, in other words, the problem of mutual crosstalk caused by asynchronous backlight lighting between the adjacent pixel units 211 in the same independent control area can be avoided, thereby ensuring that the pixel units in the display panel can display in accurate color and brightness in the same driving period, enabling the display panel to meet the display requirement of the target picture in terms of color and brightness, and improving the color cast problem of the display panel.
Based on the above-described embodiment, in the above-described step S120 of the driving method, the color of the light emitting unit that is lit up per driving period is different in the same refresh frame. In the above embodiment, the driving period may be understood as a display sub-frame, and the lighting units with different colors are turned on in each display sub-frame of the same refresh frame, so that different display sub-frames display different colors, and therefore, for each pixel unit 211, different colors are displayed in each refresh frame, so that the color mixing can be driven in sequence, and the purpose of displaying a picture is achieved.
With continued reference to fig. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the step S120 of sequentially or synchronously turning on the light emitting units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas where the charging of the pixel units is completed may include:
and S121, after all the pixel units are charged, all the light-emitting units with the same color corresponding to all the independent control areas are uniformly lightened.
This step is essentially to turn on all the pixel cells and then turn on the backlight driving process. It can be understood that, since all the pixel units are charged and all need to be lightened for displaying, the problem that the pixel units which are not turned on are interfered by the pixel units which are turned on after the backlight is lightened is avoided, so that the display panel is ensured to accurately display color and brightness in the same driving period.
Further, on this basis, the step S120 may be further selected, after all the pixel units are charged, to uniformly light all the light emitting units of the same color corresponding to all the independent control areas, including:
after all pixel units are charged, lighting all the light-emitting units with the same color corresponding to all the independent control areas uniformly, and continuously lighting for a first preset time period t_1; wherein, the duration duty ratio of the first preset duration t_1 in the driving period is less than or equal to 0.3..
At this time, in the driving period, the light emitting units are uniformly turned on and kept in the first preset time t_1, that is, the time for displaying the backlight in one display subframe is indicated as the first preset time t_1, and the time occupation ratio of the first preset time t_1 in the driving period is set to be less than 0.3, so that a longer time can be reserved for the charging process, sufficient time is provided for charging a plurality of pixel units on the display panel, sufficient charging of the pixel units is ensured, and color cast or insufficient brightness caused by insufficient charging time is avoided when the pixel units emit light. In addition, it should be noted that, at this time, the length-to-duty ratio is based on the time length control performed by the control chip, and further, based on the existing refresh frequency, on the basis of ensuring that the pixel unit is fully charged, at this time, the time length-to-duty ratio of the first preset time length t_1 in the driving period thereof may be in the vicinity of 0.07.
In addition to the above scheme of synchronously lighting all the light emitting units, the embodiment of the invention also provides another driving method. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another driving method of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5 is a driving timing chart of the driving method of the display device shown in fig. 4, first, the embodiment is an optimization based on the previous embodiment, in the display device according to the embodiment, a plurality of independent control regions 210 are sequentially arranged along a row direction X and a column direction Y, respectively. Further, on the basis of the above-described embodiments, charging a pixel unit in a display panel includes:
sequentially charging the pixel units of the plurality of independent control areas along the row direction and/or the column direction;
sequentially or synchronously lighting the light emitting units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas with the completed pixel unit charging, including:
and sequentially lighting the light-emitting units of one color corresponding to each row of independent control areas which are charged by the pixel units along the row direction and/or the column direction.
For details not yet elaborated in this embodiment, reference is made to the above embodiments, specifically, referring to fig. 1, 4 and 5, the driving method of the display device includes:
and S210, sequentially charging the pixel units of the plurality of independent control areas along the row direction and/or the column direction.
The step is essentially to charge the pixel units 211 of the independent control areas 210 row by row according to the arrangement of the independent control areas 210, specifically, to charge the pixel units 211 of the next independent control area 210 after the pixel units 211 in one independent control area 210 are charged, and to charge the pixel units 210 in the next independent control area 210 according to the row and column arrangement of the independent control areas 210 from left to right and from top to bottom. As illustrated in fig. 1 and 5, illustratively, three independent control regions 210 arranged in the column direction in the display panel are sequentially charged at three stages t1_1, t1_2, and t1_3, respectively, in one driving period.
S220, lighting the light-emitting units of one color corresponding to each row of independent control areas which are charged by the pixel units along the row direction and/or the column direction.
Based on the charging manner in the above step, after the pixel units 211 in each independent control area 210 are charged, the corresponding light emitting units 110 in the backlight module 100 can be turned on. Thus, the lighting process of the light emitting units 110 is also sequentially lighted in the order of row and column arrangement. As shown in fig. 1 and 5, illustratively, three independent control regions 210 arranged in a column direction in the display panel sequentially illuminate corresponding light emitting units in the backlight module at three stages t1_2, t2_2 and t3_2, respectively, during one driving period. The t1_2 stage is located after t1_1, which indicates that the light emitting units corresponding to the first independent control regions 210 arranged along the columns are turned on after the pixel units 211 are charged, and the remaining independent control regions are the same, which is not described herein. After charging is completed to one independent control area 210 along the arrangement sequence of the rows and the columns, the light emitting units 110 are correspondingly lightened, and the charged and uncharged pixel units 211 in the independent control area 210 can be avoided, so that the problem of mutual crosstalk caused by asynchronous backlight lighting among the pixel units 211 in the same independent control area can be prevented, the pixel units in the display panel can be ensured to display in the same driving period with accurate color and brightness, the display panel can meet the display requirement of a target picture in color and brightness, and the color cast problem of the display panel is improved.
It should be noted that, the display panel in fig. 1 is divided into three independent control areas along the column direction, and the independent control areas may be arranged along the row direction or along both the row direction and the column direction, so that charging and lighting the backlight may be performed sequentially along the row direction and/or the column direction during driving.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, further, based on the step S220, sequentially or synchronously lighting the light emitting units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas where the pixel unit charging has been completed, the method may further include:
and S230, maintaining the lighting state of the lighting units corresponding to the lighted independent control areas of each row until the current driving period is finished.
The step is to ensure that the pixel units which are lighted later and the pixel units which are lighted before are lighted synchronously, so that the whole display panel can display a complete picture at the current moment, and each sub-frame can be matched with each other to achieve a good field sequence driving color mixing effect, and the visual effect for users is better.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to ensure the mutual coordination of the display panel and the backlight module in time, a synchronization signal needs to be set to synchronize the driving of the display panel and the backlight module, so that the embodiment of the invention provides a driving method of a display device. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a driving method of a display device according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is further optimized based on the above embodiment, wherein the following steps may be added:
acquiring a synchronous signal; wherein, in any refresh frame, the synchronous signal comprises an active phase and an inactive phase

and in the effective stage Ta of the synchronous signal, the luminous units of one color corresponding to the independent control areas which are charged by the pixel units are sequentially or synchronously lightened.
For details not yet elaborated in this embodiment, reference is made to the above embodiments, specifically, referring to fig. 3, 5 and 6, the driving method of the display device includes:

Of these, the first color light emitting unit 111 is illustratively a red light emitting unit, the second color light emitting unit 112 is a green light emitting unit, and the third color light emitting unit 113 is a blue light emitting unit.
The connection circuit of the adjacent second color light emitting unit 112 and third color light emitting unit 113 is electrically connected at one side end, which is essentially based on the fact that the voltage difference of the rows where the two color light emitting units exist is the same, that is, the voltage difference of the rows where the second color light emitting unit 112 exists is basically the same as the voltage difference of the rows where the third color light emitting unit 113 exists, and the same end electrode is set, then the independent lighting of the whole row of light emitting units is realized by using the independent electrode at the other end, so that the independent control of the row of light emitting units can be ensured, the connection end of the light emitting units in the backlight module can be saved, driving signals can be saved, the driving signals required by a panel can be reduced, and the design of the driving circuit of the backlight module can be optimized.
