Description

Liquid crystal display drive circuit and method and LCD
Technical field
The present invention particularly quickens the liquid crystal display drive circuit and the driving method of the gray scale of driving (over driving) mode switching liquid crystal display (LCD) relevant for a kind of liquid crystal display drive circuit and driving method relevant for a kind of employing.
Background technology
Known LCD has comprised a plurality of pixels of lining up array-like at present, and the voltage that the liquid crystal in each pixel is added on it is controlled, and can change the transmissivity of liquid crystal, to show required gray scale on the screen.
Fig. 1 represents the schematic equivalent circuit of known LCD panel (liquid crystal display panel is hereinafter to be referred as the LCD plate) and peripheral drive circuit thereof.As shown in the figure, on the LCD plate 1 be by crisscross data electrode (with D1, D2, D3 ... Dm represents) with gate electrode (with G1, G2 ... Gn represents) be interwoven, staggered data electrode and the gate electrode of each group can be used for controlling a display unit, and for example data electrode D1 and gate electrode G1 can be used for controlling display unit 200.As shown in the figure, the equivalent electrical circuit of each display unit mainly comprise control data enter the thin film transistor (TFT) of usefulness (Q11~Q1m, Q21~Q2m ..., Qn1~Qnm) and storage capacitors (C11~C1m, C21~C2m ..., Cn1_Cnm).The grid of thin film transistor (TFT) and drain electrode are connected gate electrode (G1~Gn) and data electrode (D1~Dm) respectively, by the gate electrode (sweep signal on the G1~Gn), can conducting turn-off all thin film transistor (TFT)s in the same delegation (that is same sweep trace), (whether the vision signal on the D1~Dm) can be written in the corresponding display unit to use the control data electrode.Mandatory declaration be the single bright spot on the corresponding LCD plate of each display unit.That is for monochromatic LCD, each display unit is corresponding to single pixel; For color LCD, each display unit then is corresponding single sub-pixel (subpixel), can be respectively red (representing with R), blue (representing with B) or green (representing with G), in other words, the sub-pixel of one group of RGB (three display units) can constitute single pixel.
In addition, in Fig. 1, express the driving circuit section of LCD plate 1 simultaneously.Gate drivers (gate driver) the 10th, according to predetermined scanning sequency, pass out to each gate electrode G1, G2 ..., the sweep signal on the Gn.When being added with sweep signal on a certain gate electrode, can make to be conducting state with the thin film transistor (TFT) in all display units in the delegation or on the same sweep trace.When a certain sweep trace was selected, data driver 20 was according to view data to be shown, via data electrode D1, D2 ... Dm sends corresponding vision signal to m display unit of this row.After gate drivers 10 is finished once the online scan operation of all n line scannings, i.e. the display operation of single frame (frame) is finished in expression.Therefore, each sweep trace of multiple scanning and send vision signal just can reach the purpose of continuous display image.Wherein, signal CPV represents the clock signal of gate drivers 10, and signal CTR then represents the scan control information that gate drivers 10 is received; Signal LD represents data latching (latch) signal of data driver 20, and signal DATA then represents input image information.
Generally data electrode D1, D2, D3 ..., the vision signal that transmitted on the Dm, according to and common electrode voltage VCOM between relation, can be divided into two kinds of positive video signal and negative video signals.Positive video signal is meant that its current potential is higher than common electrode voltage VCOM, and according to the gray-scale value difference of its representative, and actual potential is between voltage Vp1 and voltage Vp2 (general more near common electrode voltage VCOM person corresponding to lower gray-scale value) then.Relatively, negative video signal is meant that its current potential is lower than common electrode voltage VCOM, and according to the gray-scale value difference of its representative, actual potential (similarly, more near common electrode voltage VCOM person corresponding to lower gray-scale value) between voltage Vn1 and voltage Vn2.When same gray-scale value was represented with positive video signal and negative video signal respectively, display effect was the same in principle, but a little difference is in fact still arranged.In addition, be subjected to single polarity electric field bias constantly, cause the liquid crystal molecule life-span to shorten, so the single display unit can receive the vision signal of opposite polarity respectively when odd-numbered frame and even frame in order to prevent liquid crystal molecule.
Consult Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 A shows the timing diagram of liquid crystal voltage corresponding to each frame.Fig. 2 A is depicted as the sequential of original vision signal, be that 60Hz is an example at this with frame speed (frame rate), so the time of each frame is 16.6ms.At this moment, the stored voltage of storage capacitors (liquid crystal) will slowly reach the voltage that it applied, as shown shown in the dotted line in.
Consult Fig. 2 B, Fig. 2 B shows the timing diagram of liquid crystal voltage corresponding to each frame.Fig. 2 B is depicted as the vision signal shown in above-mentioned Fig. 2 A is handled in the mode of quickening to drive, and its mode is the video level that exports data electrode by the video level adjustment with reference to original first frame and second frame to.By above-mentioned acceleration Driving technique, can accelerate the speed of liquid crystal molecule polar switching, make LCD can show due gray scale more really.
Yet above-mentioned tradition adds speed driving mode, though can accelerate the speed of liquid crystal molecule polar switching, meaning is promptly accelerated the speed of liquid crystal charging.But under the trend that the frame speed of LCD increases day by day; and can't accurately control the voltage that provides to liquid crystal down in the state of high frequency sweep signal; its reason is that the charging curve of liquid crystal is subjected to the influence of many external factors, thereby regular meeting is because overcharge or discharge and cause producing wrong image.If will under the state of high frequency sweep signal, accurately provide liquid crystal correct voltage, then must increase the extra hardware and the calculating and the test of more complexity.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, in order to address the above problem, fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of liquid crystal display drive circuit and driving method, reaches the speed of being scheduled to gray-scale value by quickening Driving technique to accelerate liquid crystal molecule, and the correctness that provides to the voltage of liquid crystal can accurately be provided.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of liquid crystal display drive circuit, be applicable to that the image control signal that is provided according to a main frame exports corresponding vision signal to control a LCD panel, LCD driving mechanism comprises gate drivers and data driver.Gate drivers is in order to send sweep signal to gate electrode.Data driver in order to according to the image control signal and outputting video signal to data electrode, vision signal is respectively first signal level and secondary signal level corresponding to the image control signal of first frame and second frame, wherein, when above-mentioned vision signal is driven with accelerated mode, if above-mentioned first signal level is lower than the secondary signal level, then the vision signal exported in the 3rd frame of data driver is in regular turn for to be higher than first output signal of secondary signal level and to have second output signal of secondary signal level, and the vision signal that data driver is exported in the 4th frame is in regular turn for being lower than the 3rd output signal of first signal level and having the 4th output signal of first signal level.
