Description

Sequential control circuit and method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sequential control circuit and method, and particularly relate to a kind of sequential control circuit and method that is applied to Thin Film Transistor-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display abbreviates TFTLCD as).
Background technology
Please refer to Fig. 1, Figure 1 shows that a traditional TFT LCD panel 100 and relevant drive signal sequential chart.TFT LCD panel 100 comprises eight source electrode drivers (source driver) SD1~SD8 and three gate drivers (gate driver) GD1~GD3.Whenever the negative edge (falling edge) of latch pulse signal (latch pulse) LP, source electrode driver SD1~SD8 will send the required pixel of display frame (pixel) signal S-Line.And gate drivers GD1~GD3 can send grid impulse signal (gate pulse), allows picture element signal S-Line enter corresponding gate line (gate line).In the middle of Fig. 1, G1 is the grid impulse signal of article one gate line, and its pulse corresponds to the Data_G1 part of picture element signal S-Line, the just displaying contents of article one gate line; And G2 is the grid impulse signal of second gate line, and its pulse corresponds to the Data_G2 part of picture element signal S-Line, the just displaying contents of second gate line.
The shortcoming of prior art is that phenomenon can take place to write again, is example with the TFT LCD panel 100 of Fig. 1, and zone 101 is exactly the zone that easy generation writes phenomenon again.To be grid impulse signal G1, G2 be delivered to the process on right side from the left side of TFT LCD panel 100 its reason, can be subjected to the influence of line resistance and electric capacity and produce delay, makes that each thin film transistor (TFT) on the gate line is not to open at one time.Under the situation of the same grid impulse signal of input on same the gate line, more near TFT LCD panel 100 right sides, just more be in the late unlatching of can healing of the long-range thin film transistor (TFT) of gate line, also more close evening.
And,, therefore can send picture element signal S-Line simultaneously because source electrode driver SD1~SD8 accepts same latch pulse signal LP for source electrode driver SD1~SD8.That is to say that the pixel on same gate line can receive picture element signal S-Line at one time, this will cause and write phenomenon again, for example is denoted as the part of A1 in the middle of the picture element signal S-Line.Near the pixel on right side because of the delay (G1 delay after be represented by dotted lines) of grid impulse signal G1 as yet do not close on article one gate line this moment, and the data Data_G2 of second gate line has appearred in picture element signal S-Line.That is to say that the pixel on right side can write the data of Data_G1 and Data_G2 simultaneously, Here it is writes phenomenon again.
Write phenomenon again and can cause brightness disproportionation on the horizontal scanning line (scan line), have two kinds of methods to avoid at present.First method is as shown in Figure 2, utilizes grid shutdown signal OE to close pixel in advance, and its effect, does not have yet and writes phenomenon again even transmission delay is arranged just as the part that is denoted as A2.The shortcoming of but using grid shutdown signal OE is owing to close pixel in advance, must sacrifice the duration of charging of pixel, for the higher or larger-size TFT LCD of resolution panel, is easy to generate the phenomenon of undercharge.
Second kind of method of avoiding writing again phenomenon is to shift to an earlier date vertical clock signal (vertical clock does not show among the figure), and pixel is closed in advance.Its shortcoming is the same with first method, can produce the phenomenon of undercharge because close pixel in advance.
By above discussion as can be known, we need better method, to solve the problem that writes phenomenon and pixel undercharge more simultaneously.
