The LOG type LCD of Fig. 6 is included in first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H that liquid crystal panel 302 lower horizontal arrange, is installed in time schedule controller 308 and lamp driver 215 on the data PCB320.First to fourth lamp 213A to 213D is arranged as corresponding with liquid crystal panel 302 top A, and that the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H is arranged as is corresponding with liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B.First to fourth lamp 213A to 213D is respectively to being divided into the subregion irradiates light that four parts limit by the top A with liquid crystal panel 302.For example, the first lamp 213A is the top subregion A1 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 302 top A, and the 4th lamp 213D below subregion A4 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 302 top A.Similarly, the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H is respectively to be divided into the subregion irradiates light that four parts limit in liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B.For example, the 5th lamp 213E is the top subregion B1 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B, and the 8th lamp 213H below subregion B4 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B.
Response is by the lamp control signal of time schedule controller 308 outputs, lamp driver 215 is in the semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal, be the field cycle, simultaneously and the order opening and closing lamp 213E to 213H that is used for the lamp 213A to 213D of liquid crystal panel 302 top A and is used for liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B once.First to fourth lamp 213A to 213D is with the mode orderly close-down and the unlatching of their unlatching cycle translation predetermined space.Translation cycle between the unlatching cycle of first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D is corresponding with the cycle that liquid crystal cells Clc at this subregion charges into data voltage.The the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H that is used for liquid crystal panel 302 lower part B is respectively with first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D opening and closing simultaneously.Therefore, in the semiperiod of vertical signal, i.e. in the field cycle, the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H order is opened once, thus their unlatching cycle translation predetermined space.In order to drive first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H in the above described manner, lamp driver 215 comprises first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D shown in Figure 4.Because lamp driver 215 is similar to the detailed description of Fig. 4 with first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H, so omitted detailed description about lamp driver.
From the sequential chart of Fig. 5 as can be seen, time schedule controller 308 control gate drive IC 304a to 304d and data driver 306a to 306c in every frame in the liquid crystal cells Clc of liquid crystal panel 302 each delegation sequentially write data once, and twice of control lamp driver 215 opening and closing first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H.Because the detailed description of time schedule controller 308 and Fig. 4 is similar, so omit detailed description here about time schedule controller 308.
From the sequential chart of Fig. 5 as can be seen, the LOG type LCD of Fig. 6 is writing in the frame period of a secondary data in whole liquid crystal cells Clc of liquid crystal panel 302, is used for the first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D and the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213D that is used for the lower part B of liquid crystal panel 302 of liquid crystal panel 302 top A for twice with the synchronous mode order opening and closing of first to fourth 213A to 213D and the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H.That is to say, on liquid crystal panel 302 with the frame rate (second frame rate, for example 120Hz) of the frame rate of the video data that produces by external system (as, first frame rate of 60Hz) twice alternately display video data and black level data.Therefore, the LOG type LCD according to embodiment of the present invention can respond video data apace.Thereby when showing moving image, can not move blooming.
In addition, be used for the top subregion lamp and be used for the lamp of lower part subregion by same lamp driver opening and closing.Therefore, can oversimplify the circuit that is used to drive lamp.
In the LOG type LCD according to the 3rd embodiment, the grid line that is used to enable the TFT of delegation is divided left grid line and right grid line, thereby drives left grid line and right grid line respectively.Therefore, can reduce the propagation delay time of sweep signal at grid line.Therefore, can respond fast-changing image, thereby improve picture quality according to the LOG type LCD of embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 7 shows that synoptic diagram according to the LCD of four embodiment of the invention.With reference to Fig. 7, comprise the gate driver 404 that is used to drive many grid line GL1-GL2k that are arranged on liquid crystal panel 402 according to the LCD of four embodiment of the invention; And the data driver 406 that is used to drive many data line DL1-DL2j that are arranged on liquid crystal panel 402.
Grid line GL1-GL2k is arranged on the liquid crystal panel 402 and intersects with data line DL1-DL2j that horizontal direction is arranged.TFT as on-off element is formed on data line DL1-DL2j and grid line GL1-GL2k infall.The sweep signal that response is applied by corresponding grid line GL, TFT will be switched to the liquid crystal cells Clc that is connected to public pressure wire Vcom by the data voltage that corresponding data line DL provides.The liquid crystal cells Clc of liquid crystal panel 402 sees through and the data voltage of data line DL and reference voltage are the proportional light of electric potential difference between the common electric voltage Vcom.
In each cycle of a vertical synchronizing signal, promptly in each frame period, gate driver 404 response grid-control system signals produce and provide to the sweep signal of grid line GL1-GL2k.Sweep signal from gate driver 404 is driven once 2k bar grid line GL1 to GL2k in proper order in the cycle of a vertical synchronizing signal.For this reason, 2k the sweep signal that offers on liquid crystal panel 402 the 2k bar grid line GL1-GL2k that arranges has the translation pulse of grid high voltage VGH with differing from one another.The width that is included in the pulse of the grid high voltage VGH in the sweep signal equals the signal period in level step.
In each cycle of horizontal-drive signal, data driver 406 will convert analog data voltage to the R that is equivalent to delegation, G, B pixel data in response to data controlling signal, and data line voltage is provided to the data line DL1-DL2j that is arranged on the liquid crystal panel 402.Specifically, if enable among the 2k bar grid line GL1-GL2k one of any, promptly in each cycle of a horizontal-drive signal, data driver 406 output data line voltages.When one of pulse enable grid line GL1-GL2k of grid high voltage VGH, be connected to the TFT conducting of the grid line GL after enabling, thereby transfer to corresponding liquid crystal unit Clc from the data voltage of corresponding data line DL.When sweep signal when grid high voltage VGH becomes grid low-voltage VGL, the TFT of conducting ends, thus corresponding liquid crystal unit Clc is not electrically connected with corresponding data line DL.The data voltage that is provided by corresponding data line DL is provided turn-on cycle liquid crystal cells Clc at TFT, and the data voltage that charges into remains to corresponding TFT conducting once more.
Gate driver 404 and data driver 406 be in per frame period, i.e. each cycle of vertical synchronizing signal, write data voltage once to the liquid crystal cells of liquid crystal panel 402.
With reference to Fig. 7, LCD comprises the time schedule controller 408 that is used for control gate driver 404, data driver 406 and is used for back light unit 410 to liquid crystal panel 402 irradiates lights.Time schedule controller 408 uses the vertical/horizontal synchronizing signal (Vsync/Hsync), data enable signal (DE) and the clock signal that are produced by the external system (not shown) such as the TV signal decoding module of the graphics card of computer system or television receiver to produce grid-control system signal that is used for control gate driver 404 and the data controlling signal that is used for control data driver 406.The grid-control system signal that response is produced by time schedule controller 408, gate driver 404 orders drive the 2k bar grid line GL1-GL2k that arranges on liquid crystal panel 402.The data controlling signal that response is produced by time schedule controller 408, data driver 406 provides data line voltage line by line to data line DL1-DL2j.
Time schedule controller 408 will be arranged in mode line by line by R, G, B pixel data that external system provides, and in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal the R of delegation, G, B pixel data be offered data driver 406.Therefore, data driver 406 converts the R of delegation, G, B pixel data to analog data voltage.Offer data line DL1-DL2j simultaneously by the data line voltage after data driver 406 conversions.
Similar to the back light unit 210 of Fig. 4, back light unit 410 is included in first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H and the first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D that liquid crystal panel 402 lower horizontal are arranged.First to fourth lamp 213A to 213D is arranged as corresponding with liquid crystal panel 402 top A, and that the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H is arranged as is corresponding with liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B.First to fourth lamp 213A to 213D respectively to the top A of liquid crystal panel 402 by being divided into the first to fourth subregion irradiates light that four parts limit.For example, the first lamp 213A is the top subregion A1 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 402 top A, and the 4th lamp 213D below subregion A4 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 402 top A.Similarly, the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H respectively in liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B by being divided into the four sub regions irradiates lights that four parts limit.For example, the 5th lamp 213E is the top subregion B1 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B, and the 8th lamp 213H below subregion B4 irradiates light in liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B.
Response is by the lamp control signal of time schedule controller 408 outputs, in the cycle of a vertical synchronizing signal, the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H that first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D will be used for the first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D of liquid crystal panel 402 top A and be used for liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B together simultaneously and twice of opening and closing sequentially.Response is by the lamp control signal of time schedule controller 408 outputs, first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D is in each semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal, i.e. in half and half frame period to open one time first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D of mode opening and closing sequentially of cycle translation predetermined space.Translation cycle between the unlatching cycle of first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D can be the cycle of the charging of the liquid crystal cells Clc on one of liquid crystal panel 402 subregion A1 to A4 data voltage.Simultaneously, be used for the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H of liquid crystal panel 202 lower part B respectively with first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D opening and closing.Therefore, in the semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal, i.e. field cycle, the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H with the unlatching cycle sequentially the mode of translation predetermined space sequentially open once.In other words, can be different between the unlatching cycle of the lamp 213A to 213D of the subregion A1-A4 of liquid crystal panel 402 or B1-B4 or 213E to 213H.Thereby the lamp driving voltage that is produced by first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D has one of at least the duty factor different with other.Because first to fourth lamp driver 215A to 215D is similar to the explanation to Fig. 4 to first to the 8th lamp 213A to 213H, so omit detailed description thereof.
From the sequential chart of Fig. 5 as can be seen, the LOG type LCD of Fig. 7 writes at the whole liquid crystal cells Clc to liquid crystal panel 402 during frame period of video data with twice of the synchronous mode opening and closing sequentially first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D of first to fourth lamp 213A to 213D that is used for liquid crystal panel 402 top A and the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H that is used for liquid crystal panel 402 lower part B and the 5th to the 8th lamp 213E to 213H.That is to say that video data and black level data alternately show twice with the frame rate (second frame rate, for example 120Hz) of frame rate (for example first frame rate of 60Hz) twice with the video data that produces from external system on liquid crystal panel 202.Therefore, the LOG type LCD according to embodiment of the present invention can respond video data apace.Thereby, when showing moving image, can not move blooming.In addition, alternately display video data and black level data also prevent unsharp image or image retention twice on liquid crystal panel, thus presentation video fast.Therefore, according to the LCD raising picture quality of embodiment of the present invention, it is minimum that brightness is reduced.
In addition, the lamp and the lamp that is used for liquid crystal panel lower part subregion that are used for liquid crystal panel top subregion by same data driver opening and closing.Therefore, can simplify the circuit that is used to drive lamp.
Figure 8 shows that synoptic diagram according to the LCD of fifth embodiment of the invention.LCD according to fifth embodiment of the invention is similar to LCD shown in Figure 2, and difference is not have data converter 110 but time schedule controller 108 directly receives from the video data such as system's (not shown) of the TV signal decoding module of the image card of computer system or television receiver.Different with LCD among Fig. 2, liquid crystal panel 102 that comprises among the LCD among Fig. 8 and lamp 113A to 113H are with frame rate (for example, the 60Hz) work of original video data.In addition, can optionally drive liquid crystal panel 102 and lamp 113A to 113H with first drive pattern or second drive pattern.Under first drive pattern, the LCD of Fig. 8 drives according to the sequential shown in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B.Under second drive pattern, the LCD of Fig. 8 drives according to the sequential shown in Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B.For convenience, the work of LCD will be called the 6th embodiment of the present invention under second drive pattern.To describe the LCD of Fig. 8 according to drive pattern in detail below.
With reference to Fig. 9 A, gate driver 104 promptly in each cycle (1/60 second) of vertical synchronizing signal, sequentially enables the once grid line GL1-GLk on liquid crystal panel 102 top A in each frame period of video data.Gate driver 104 sequentially enables once grid line GL (the k+1)-GL2k on liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B synchronously to drive with grid line GL1-GLk.For example, gate driver 104 side by side enables two cycles of the first grid line GL1 and (k+1) bar grid line GL (k+1) horizontal-drive signal, side by side enable two cycles of the second grid line GL2 and (k+2) bar grid line GL (k+2) horizontal-drive signal, side by side enable two cycles of the 3rd grid line GL3 and (k+3) bar grid line GL (k+3) horizontal-drive signal.In this way, k bar grid line GLk and 2k bar grid line GL2k side by side are enabled last two cycles of horizontal-drive signal.That is to say that gate driver 104 is by driving k continues horizontal-drive signal to a k bar grid line GL1-GLk who is used for liquid crystal panel 102 top A and the 2nd k bar grid line GL (the k+1)-GL2k that is used for liquid crystal panel lower part B two cycles over the ground.For this reason, shown in Fig. 9 A, gate driver 104 i.e. each frame period, provides 2k sweep signal SGL1-SGL2k to 2k bar grid line GL1-GL2k respectively in each cycle of vertical synchronizing signal.2k sweep signal SGL1-SGL2k is divided into first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk that offers a k bar grid line GL1-GLk who is used for liquid crystal panel 102 top A and second sweep signal group SGL (the k+1)-SGL2k that is used for the 2nd k bar grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B.The first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk has its pulse grid high voltage VGH pulse identical with second sweep signal group SGL (k+1)-SGL2k with width.The pulse width of grid high voltage VGH is equivalent to two cycles of horizontal-drive signal.Along with the grid line GL on liquid crystal panel 102 top A moves down, the width of its body of pulse sequence ground translation of the grid high voltage VGH that comprises among the first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk (for example, two of horizontal-drive signal cycles).Similarly, along with the grid line GL on liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B moves down, the width of its body of pulse sequence ground translation of the grid high voltage VGH that comprises among second sweep signal group SGL (k+1)-SGL2k (for example, two of horizontal-drive signal cycles).
The first data driver 106A response data control signal will convert analog data voltage to the R that is equivalent to delegation, G, B pixel data, and provide the upper data lines UDL1-UDLm that arranges to liquid crystal panel 102 top A with data line voltage.As long as it is one of any to enable the grid line GL1-GLk that arranges at liquid crystal panel 102 top A, first data driver 106A output data line voltage.The first data driver 106A provides two cycles that the cycle of data line voltage is equivalent to horizontal-drive signal and width to equal to enable the width of the grid high impulse of the grid line GL1-GLk that arranges on the A of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 to upper data lines UDL1-UDLm.
Similarly, the second data driver 106B will convert analog data voltage to the R that is equivalent to delegation, G, B pixel data in response to data controlling signal, and provide the lower data lines LDL1-LDLm that arranges to liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B with data line voltage.As long as it is one of any to enable grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k of arranging at liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B, the second data driver 106B just exports data line voltage.The second data driver 106B provides two cycles that the cycle of data line voltage is equivalent to horizontal-drive signal and width to equal to enable the width of the grid high impulse of the grid line GL1-GLk that arranges on the B of the lower part of liquid crystal panel 102 to lower data lines LDL1-LDLm.
Because grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k side by side is enabled with grid line GL1-GLk, so provide respectively and side by side to top data line UDL1-UDLm and lower data lines LDL1-LDLm from the data line voltage of the first data driver 106A with from the data line voltage of the second data driver 106B.Therefore, when the delegation's liquid crystal cells that is used for liquid crystal panel 102 top A charged into data voltage, the delegation's liquid crystal cells that is used for liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B charged into data voltage.That is to say that liquid crystal cells charges two cycles of data voltage horizontal-drive signal in the modes of each two row by the first and second data driver 106A and 106B and gate driver 104 on the liquid crystal panel 102.Therefore, the first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and lower part B and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B1 charge into data voltage simultaneously.Then, data voltage writes the second subregion A2 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and lower part B and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B2.Then, data voltage writes the 3rd subregion A3 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and lower part B and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B3 simultaneously.At last, data voltage writes the 4th subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and lower part B and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B4 simultaneously.
When two cycles of one of the k bar grid line GL1-GLk of the pulse enable liquid crystal panel 102 top A by grid high voltage VGH horizontal-drive signal, be connected to the TFT conducting of the grid line after enabling, thereby transfer to corresponding liquid crystal unit Clc from the data voltage of upper data lines UDL.When sweep signal when grid high voltage VGH becomes grid low-voltage VGL, the TFT of conducting ends on liquid crystal panel 102 top A, thus liquid crystal cells Clc is not electrically connected with upper data lines UDL.In two cycles of horizontal-drive signal, i.e. TFT conduction period, the data voltage that is provided by upper data lines UDL is provided liquid crystal cells Clc.Then, the data voltage that charges into remains to TFT in the conducting once more of next frame cycle.
Similarly, when one of the 2nd k bar grid line GL (the k+1)-GL2k of the pulse enable liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B by grid high voltage VGH, be connected to the TFT conducting of the grid line after enabling, thereby transfer to corresponding liquid crystal unit Clc from the data voltage of lower data lines LDL.When sweep signal when grid high voltage VGH becomes grid low-voltage VGL, the TFT of conducting ends on liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B, thus liquid crystal cells Clc is not electrically connected with lower data lines UDL.In two cycles of horizontal-drive signal, i.e. TFT conduction period, the data voltage that is provided by lower data lines LDL is provided liquid crystal cells Clc.Then, the data voltage that charges into remains to TFT in the conducting once more of following frame period.
Jointly be connected to time schedule controller 108 back light unit 112 first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D sequentially the lamp 113A to 113D of opening and closing liquid crystal panel 102 top A subregion A1 to A4 with synchronous with the lamp 113E to 113H of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B subregion B1 to B4.In each frame period, each lamp 113A to 113D opening and closing once.For example, the frame period is corresponding to the cycle of vertical synchronizing signal.For this reason, first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115 control will offer the lamp driving voltage of lamp 113A to 113H.The duty factor of each lamp driving voltage (that is the ratio of opening time and shut-in time) can be different.Describe the work and the effect of first to fourth lamp driver 115 below in detail with reference to Fig. 9 B.
With reference to Fig. 9 B, waveform " DW113AE " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the first subregion A1 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B1, during DE113AE, in the liquid crystal cells Clc of the first subregion A1 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B1 first 1/4 cycle in the frame period, it is the DWP cycle, charge into data voltage, and in all the other 3/4 cycles in frame period, keep these data that charge into.Waveform " DW113BF " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the second subregion A2 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B2, in the liquid crystal cells Clc of the second subregion A2 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B2 second 1/4 cycle in the frame period, be the DWP cycle, charge into data voltage and in 1/4 cycle in all the other 1/2 cycles in this frame period and next frame cycle, keep these data that charge into.Waveform " DW113CG " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the 3rd subregion A3 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B3, in the liquid crystal cells Clc of the 3rd subregion A3 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B3 the 3rd 1/4 cycle in the frame period, be the DWP cycle, charge into data voltage and in the one 1/2 cycle in all the other 1/4 cycles in this frame period and next frame cycle, keep these data that charge into.Waveform " DW113DH " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the 4th subregion A4 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B4, in the liquid crystal cells Clc of the 4th subregion A4 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B4 the 4th 1/4 cycle in the frame period, be the DWP cycle, charge into data voltage and in 3/4 cycle in next frame cycle, keep these data that charge into.

For driving liquid crystal panel 102 shown in Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B and lamp 113A to 113H, time schedule controller 108 provides grid-control system signal, provides data controlling signal to the first and second data driver 106A and 106B to gate driver 104, and provides the lamp control signal to first to fourth lamp driving governor 115A to 115D.In addition, time schedule controller 108 is allocated to two row pixel datas two cycles of the first and second data driver 106A and the lasting horizontal-drive signal of 106B.That is to say that in two cycles of horizontal synchronization week signal, time schedule controller 108 provides the one-row pixels data and provides the one-row pixels data to the second data driver 106B to the first data driver 106A.For this reason, the vertical/horizontal synchronizing signal (Vsync/Hsync), data enable signal (DE), clock signal and the video data that produce by external system (not shown) of time schedule controller 108 response such as the TV signal decoding module of the graphics card of computer system or television receiver.Time schedule controller 108 is used for the grid-control system signal of gate driver 104, the lamp control signal that is used for the data controlling signal of the first and second data driver 106A and 106B and is used for first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D by utilizing vertical/horizontal synchronizing signal (Vsync/Hsync), data enable signal (DE) and clock signal to produce.In addition, R, G that time schedule controller 108 will be provided by external system and B pixel data are arranged in R, G and B pixel data line by line, and in per two cycles of horizontal-drive signal the R of delegation, G and B pixel data are offered first and second data driver 106A and the 106B.Therefore, the first data driver 106A converts the R of delegation, G and B pixel data to analog data voltage in per two cycles of horizontal-drive signal.Offer upper data lines UDL1-UDLm simultaneously by the data line voltage after the first data driver 106A conversion.Synchronous with the first data driver 106A, the second data driver 106B converts the R of delegation, G and B pixel data to analog data voltage.Offer lower data lines LDL1-LDLm simultaneously by the data line voltage after the second data driver 106B conversion.
Shown in Fig. 9 B, first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D each frame period with the synchronous mode opening and closing sequentially of first to fourth 113A to 113D and the 5th to the 8th lamp 113E to 113H and the corresponding first to fourth lamp 113A to 113D of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and with corresponding the 5th to the 8th lamp 113E to 113H of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B, the while, liquid crystal cells Clc write once simultaneously.Thereby alternately display video data and black level data are once on liquid crystal panel 102 in each frame period (for example 1/60 second) of the video data that is produced by external system.
Therefore, the LCD according to embodiment of the present invention can respond video data apace.Thereby, when showing moving image, can not move blooming.In addition, simultaneously the two parts to liquid crystal panel provide the charging data voltage also to prevent unsharp image or image retention, thus presentation video apace.
In addition, a plurality of lamps and a plurality of lamps that are used for liquid crystal panel 102 lower part subregions that are used for liquid crystal panel 102 top subregions by same lamp driver opening and closing.Therefore, can simplify the circuit that is used to drive lamp.
With reference to Figure 10 A, gate driver 104 sequentially enables once to be used for the grid line GL1-GLk of liquid crystal panel 102 top A in half of each frame period (for example, 1/60 second) of video data.Gate driver 104 sequentially enables once to be used for grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B synchronously to drive with grid line GL1-GLk.For example, gate driver 104 side by side enables the one-period of the first grid line GL1 and the lasting horizontal-drive signal of (k+1) bar grid line GL (k+1), side by side enable another cycle of the lasting horizontal-drive signal of the second grid line GL2 and (k+2) bar grid line GL (k+2), side by side enable the one-period again that the 3rd grid line GL3 and (k+3) bar grid line GL (k+3) continue horizontal-drive signal.In this way, k bar grid line GLk and 2k bar grid line GL2k side by side are enabled and continue last two cycles of horizontal-drive signal.That is to say that gate driver 104 is by driving k continues horizontal-drive signal to a k bar grid line GL1-GLk who is used for liquid crystal panel 102 top A and the 2nd k bar grid line GL (the k+1)-GL2k that is used for liquid crystal panel lower part B phase weekly over the ground.In addition, thus gate driver 104 does not enable any grid line for idle pulley in all the other field cycles in each frame period of video data.
For this reason, shown in Figure 10 A, gate driver 104 provides 2k sweep signal SGL1-SGL2k to 2k bar grid line GL1-GL2k respectively in each semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal.2k sweep signal SGL1-SGL2k is divided into second sweep signal group SGL (k+1)-SGL2k of the 2nd k bar grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k of the first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk of a k bar grid line GL1-GLk who offers liquid crystal panel 102 top A and liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B.The first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk has its pulse grid high voltage VGH pulse identical with second sweep signal group SGL (k+1)-SGL2k with width.The pulse width of grid high voltage VGH is equivalent to the one-period of horizontal-drive signal.Along with the grid line GL on liquid crystal panel 102 top A moves down, the width of its body of pulse sequence ground translation of the grid high voltage VGH that comprises among the first sweep signal group SGL1-SGLk (for example, the one-period of horizontal-drive signal).Similarly, along with the grid line on liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B moves down, the width of its body of pulse sequence ground translation of the grid high voltage VGH that comprises among second sweep signal group SGL (k+1)-SGL2k (for example, the one-period of horizontal-drive signal).In addition, gate driver 104 keeps 2k sweep signal at grid low-voltage VGL in each cycle of vertical synchronizing signal, thereby does not carry out the operation of write data voltage.
Along with gate driver 104 sequentially enables the grid line GL1-GLk of liquid crystal panel 102 top A in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal, the first data driver 106A sequentially charges into data voltage to the liquid crystal cells Clc of liquid crystal panel 102 top A in line by line mode in semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal.Then, the first data driver 106A is set to the sky pattern in the later half cycle of a vertical synchronizing signal.During the semiperiod of a vertical synchronizing signal,, upgrade the data line voltage that offers data line UDL1-UDLm by the first data driver 106A in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal promptly at the data voltage write cycle time.
Similarly, along with gate driver 104 sequentially enables grid line GL (k+1)-GL2k of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal, the second data driver 106B in semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal to the liquid crystal cells Clc of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B with the data voltage that sequentially charges of mode line by line.Then, the second data driver 106B is set to the sky pattern in the later half cycle of a vertical synchronizing signal.In each cycle of horizontal-drive signal, synchronously upgrade the data line voltage that offers data line LDL1-LDLm by the second data driver 106B with the data line voltage that provides by the first data driver 106A.
The first data driver 106A and 106B and gate driver 104 charge into data voltage in semiperiod of vertical synchronizing signal to the liquid crystal cells of the subregion of the liquid crystal cells of the subregion of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B, thereby they are synchronized with each other respectively.For example, the liquid crystal cells of the subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and at the liquid crystal cells of the subregion B1 of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B at the one 1/8 cycle DWP of vertical synchronizing signal charging data voltage, and keep the data voltage that charges in all the other 7/8 cycles of a vertical synchronizing signal.The liquid crystal cells of the subregion A2 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and at the liquid crystal cells of the subregion B2 of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B at the 2 1/8 cycle DWP of vertical synchronizing signal charging data voltage, and keep the data voltage that charges in the one 1/8 cycle of all the other 6/8 cycles of a vertical synchronizing signal and next vertical synchronizing signal.The liquid crystal cells of the subregion A3 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and at the liquid crystal cells of the subregion B3 of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B at the 3 1/8 cycle DWP of vertical synchronizing signal charging data voltage, and keep the data voltage that charges in the one 1/4 cycle of all the other 5/8 cycles of a vertical synchronizing signal and next vertical synchronizing signal.The liquid crystal cells of the subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 top A and at the liquid crystal cells of the subregion B4 of liquid crystal panel 102 lower part B at the 4 1/8 cycle DWP of vertical synchronizing signal charging data voltage, and keep the data voltage that charges in 3/8 cycle of all the other 1/2 cycles of a vertical synchronizing signal and next vertical synchronizing signal.
First to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D of the back light unit of jointly being controlled by time schedule controller 108 112 is each frame period opening and closing lamp 113A to 113H sequentially in each cycle of vertical synchronizing signal.In each frame period, lamp 113A to 113H each all opening and closing are once.Open after the saturated period expires of the orientation of subregion 113E-113H after liquid crystal cells charges into data voltage of the lamp 113A-113D of subregion A1-A4 and subregion B1-B4.Therefore, the lamp driving voltage that offers corresponding lamp 113A to 113H by first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D can be orientated saturated period expires after the data voltage write cycle time finishes effective afterwards the time, and invalid to the subregion write data voltage of liquid crystal panel 102 time.Remove the data write cycle of subregion in the cycle that is adjusted in a vertical synchronizing signal effective period of the lamp driving voltage that will produce by lamp driver 115A to 115D and be orientated in cycle the saturated cycle.Illustrate that with reference to Figure 10 B first to fourth lamp 115A to 115D produces the work and the influence of above-mentioned lamp driving voltage below.
With reference to Figure 10 B, waveform " DW113AE " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the first subregion A1 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B1.Waveform " LE113AE " the expression first lamp driver 115A exports the effective time cycle of the first lamp drive signal.According to time cycle DW113AE and LE113AE, comprising the semiperiod that data voltage is filled into the vertical synchronizing signal of the one 1/8 cycle DWP of vertical synchronizing signal of liquid crystal cells Clc of the first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 and B1 and the orientation saturated cycle ASP corresponding, having low level from the first lamp driving voltage LE113AE of the first lamp driver 115A with 3/8 cycle of vertical synchronizing signal.On the other hand, in cycle (rayed period L EP) the saturated cycle ASP of orientation that the first subregion A1 and the liquid crystal cells Clc among the B1 of liquid crystal panel 102 keep rearranging by the direction of orientation that is equivalent to data voltage except that liquid crystal molecule in the cycle (ASP_LEP) of data voltage, the first lamp driving voltage LE113AE has high level.Rayed period L EP is corresponding to the semiperiod of a vertical synchronizing signal, and can shorten according to first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 and the brightness value of B1.When shortening rayed period L EP, be orientated saturated cycle ASP and prolong, its prolongation value is the same big with rayed period L EP minimizing value.After the liquid crystal cells Clc of first subregion A1 that data voltage is write or fills into liquid crystal panel 102 and B1, in the semiperiod corresponding to the vertical synchronizing signal of the saturated cycle ASP of the orientation in 3/8 cycle of vertical synchronizing signal in the past, the common response of the first lamp 113A and the 5th lamp 113E is opened simultaneously from the first lamp driving voltage LE113AE of first lamp driver 115A output.Therefore, illumination is mapped on the first subregion A1 and B1 of liquid crystal panel 102.Because the first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B1 by and arrange back first lamp 113A and the 5th lamp 113E irradiates light corresponding to a direction of data voltage, so correct display pixel data.In addition, in the first lamp 113A and the 5th lamp 113E down periods, on the first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 and B1, show the black level data.Therefore, false pulse shows and has the greatest impact on the first subregion A1 of liquid crystal panel 102 and B1.

In Figure 10 B, waveform " DW113DH " expression is to the time cycle at the liquid crystal cells Clc write data voltage of the 4th subregion A4 of the top of liquid crystal panel 102 A and lower part B and B4.The effective time cycle of the 4th lamp drive signal of waveform " LE113DH " expression the 4th lamp driver 115D output.According to time cycle DW113DH and LE113, at the 4 1/8 cycle DWP of the vertical synchronizing signal of the liquid crystal cells Clc that comprises the 4th subregion A4 that data voltage filled into liquid crystal panel 102 and B4 with in the semiperiod corresponding to the vertical synchronizing signal of the saturated cycle ASP of orientation in 3/8 cycle of vertical synchronizing signal, has low level from the 4th lamp driving voltage LE113DH of the 4th lamp driver 115D.On the other hand, in cycle (rayed period L EP) the saturated cycle ASP of orientation that the 4th subregion A4 and the liquid crystal cells Clc among the B4 of liquid crystal panel 102 keep rearranging by the direction of orientation that is equivalent to data voltage except that liquid crystal molecule in the cycle (ASP_LEP) of data voltage, the 4th lamp driving voltage LE113DH has high level.Rayed period L EP is corresponding to the semiperiod of a vertical synchronizing signal, and can shorten according to the 4th subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 and the brightness value of B4.When shortening rayed period L EP, be orientated saturated cycle ASP and prolong, it is the same big that its prolongation value and rayed period L EP reduce value.From corresponding to half vertical synchronizing signal of the saturated cycle ASP of the orientation in 3/8 cycle of vertical synchronizing signal in the past in the cycle, the 4th lamp 113D and the 8th lamp 113H response are opened simultaneously from the 4th lamp driving voltage LE113DH of the 4th lamp driver 115D output after the liquid crystal cells Clc of the 4th subregion A4 that data voltage is write or fills into liquid crystal panel 102 and B4.Therefore, illumination is mapped on the 4th subregion A4 and B4 of liquid crystal panel 102.Because arrange back the 4th lamp 113D and the 8th lamp 113H irradiates light by a direction, so correct display pixel data corresponding to data voltage at the 4th subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 and the liquid crystal cells Clc on the B4.In addition, in the 4th lamp 113D and the 8th lamp 113H down periods, on the 4th subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 and B4, show the black level data.Therefore, false pulse shows and has the greatest impact on the 4th subregion A4 of liquid crystal panel 102 and B4.
Shown in Figure 10 A and 10B, the time schedule controller 108 control gate drivers 104 and first and second data driver 106A and the 106B, thus data voltage is write on the liquid crystal cells of liquid crystal panel 102 in the cycle at field.Simultaneously, by the control of time schedule controller 108, lamp driver drives lamp 113A to 113H, and each opening and closing sequentially are once in each frame period.For this reason, time schedule controller 108 provides grid-control system signal to gate driver 104, provides data controlling signal to the first and second data driver 106A and 106B, and provides the lamp control signal to first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D.In addition, time schedule controller 108 provides two capable pixel datas for the first and second data driver 106A and 106B in the one-period of a horizontal-drive signal.That is to say that in the cycle, time schedule controller 108 provides the one-row pixels data to the first data driver 106A in a horizontal-drive signal, and provides the one-row pixels data to the second data driver 106B.For this reason, the vertical/horizontal synchronizing signal (Vsync/Hsync), data enable signal (DE), clock signal and the video data that produce by external system (not shown) of time schedule controller 108 response such as the TV signal decoding module of the graphics card of computer system or television receiver.Time schedule controller 108 is used for the grid-control system signal of gate driver 104, the lamp control signal that is used for the data controlling signal of the first and second data driver 106A and 106B and is used for first to fourth lamp driver 113A to 113D by utilizing vertical/horizontal synchronizing signal (Vsync/Hsync), data enable signal (DE) and clock signal to produce.In addition, R, G that time schedule controller 108 will be provided by external system and B pixel data are arranged in R, G and B pixel data line by line, and in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal the R of delegation, G and B pixel data are offered first and second data driver 106A and the 106B.
Therefore, the first data driver 106A converts the R of delegation, G and B pixel data to analog data voltage in each cycle of horizontal-drive signal.Offer upper data lines UDL1-UDLm simultaneously by the data line voltage after the first data driver 106A conversion.Synchronous with the first data driver 106A, the second data driver 106B converts the R of delegation, G and B pixel data to analog data voltage.Offer lower data lines LDL1-LDLm simultaneously by the data line voltage after the second data driver 106B conversion.Shown in Figure 10 B, on the subregion A1 to A4 that writes liquid crystal panel 102 from data voltage the saturated cycle ASP of back orientation in the past after in the time of the subregion A1 to A4 that begins data voltage is write liquid crystal panel 102, the first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D that is controlled by time schedule controller 108 opens first to fourth lamp 113A to 113D.In addition, first to fourth lamp driver 115A to 115D with synchronous mode opening and closing the 5th to the 8th lamp 113E to 113H of (simultaneously) of first to fourth lamp 113A to 113D.Therefore, from the saturated cycle ASP of orientation behind the subregion B1 to B4 that data voltage is write liquid crystal panel 102 in the past after in the time of the subregion B1 to B4 that begins data voltage is write liquid crystal panel 102, the 5th to the 8th lamp 113E to 113H opens.
