Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a method of driving the same,

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to a method of driving a liquid crystal display device using a gate signal having a gate low voltage gradually decreasing corresponding to a resistance of a gate wiring.

The display devices are mainly composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), and an organic light emitting diode (OLED).

In this case, the liquid crystal display device is driven by using the optical anisotropy and polarization properties of the liquid crystal. Since the liquid crystal molecules have a long structure, the liquid crystal molecules have a directional arrangement, and an electric field is artificially applied to the liquid crystal to control the orientation can do.

That is, when the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules is changed by using the electric field, the light is refracted in the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules due to the optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal, and an image can be displayed.

In recent years, an active matrix liquid crystal display (AM-LCD) device in which a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode are arranged in a matrix manner has been attracting the most attention because of its excellent resolution and video realization capability. The apparatus will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing a conventional liquid crystal display device.

1, the conventional liquid crystal display device 10 includes a liquid crystal panel 20, a gate driver 30, a data driver 40, and a drive controller 50.

The gate driver 30, the data driver 40 and the drive controller 50 constitute a driving unit for supplying power to the liquid crystal panel 20 and a plurality of signals for displaying images. do.

The liquid crystal panel 20 displays images using a gate signal and a data signal. The liquid crystal panel 20 includes first and second substrates (not shown) spaced apart from each other and a liquid crystal layer (not shown) formed between the first and second substrates (Not shown).

First to m-th gate lines GL1 to GLm and first to n-th data lines DL1 to DLn are formed on the first substrate of the liquid crystal panel 20 so as to intersect with each other to form a pixel region P, A thin film transistor (TFT) T connected to the gate wiring and the data wiring is formed in the pixel region P and a storage capacitor Cst and a liquid crystal capacitor Clc are connected to the thin film transistor T .

Although not shown, a black matrix, a color filter layer, and a common electrode are sequentially stacked on a second substrate of the liquid crystal panel 20, the black matrix corresponding to the gate wiring, the data wiring, and the thin film transistor of the first substrate, Green and blue color filters corresponding to the openings of the matrix, and a common electrode is formed on the entire surface of the color filter layer.

The gate driver 30 generates a gate signal by using a gate control signal and sequentially supplies the generated gate signal to the first to m-th gate lines GL1 to GLm of the liquid crystal panel 20, A first film 32 including wires and connected to the liquid crystal panel 20 and a first integrated circuit (IC) 34 mounted on the first film 32. The chip- Film (COF). ≪ / RTI >

The gate driver 30 is composed of a plurality of transistors connected to both sides of the liquid crystal panel 20.

The data driver 40 generates a data signal using the data control signal and the image data and supplies the generated data signal to the first to the nth data lines DL1 to DLn of the liquid crystal panel 20, A second film 42 including wiring of the first film 42 and connected to the liquid crystal panel 20 and the drive control unit 50 and a second integrated circuit 44 mounted on the second film 42, - film (COF).

The data driver 40 is connected to the upper side of the liquid crystal panel 20.

The drive control unit 50 generates a gate control signal, a data control signal, and image data using the video signal and the timing signals DE, HSY, VSY, and CLK received from the external system, The first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs) 52 and 54 connected to the data driver 40 are supplied to the gate driver 30 and the data driver 40, respectively, .

The liquid crystal panel 20 includes a display area DA used for image display and a non-display area NDA located around the display area DA and not used for image display. The non-display area NDA Are used to form a plurality of supply wirings for transferring pads, gate control signals, gate signals, and data signals for connection with the data driver 30 and the gate driver 40.

The non-display area (NDA) serves as a failure factor for expanding the bezel of the liquid crystal display device (10).

In order to achieve a narrow bezel by minimizing the area of the non-display area NDA, a gate driver for both sides of the liquid crystal panel is omitted, and a gate signal and a data signal are generated by an integrated driver on the top of the liquid crystal panel. A display device has been proposed.

In such a liquid crystal display device, vertical gate wirings are formed in the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel in order to transfer gate signals from the integrated driver on the liquid crystal panel to the horizontal gate wirings formed in the lateral direction of each liquid crystal panel.

However, the length of the vertical gate wiring varies depending on the position of the horizontal gate wiring, and a deviation occurs in the delay of the gate signal due to the difference in resistance due to the difference in length of the vertical gate wiring.

Such a delay deviation of the gate signal hinders normal driving of the liquid crystal panel and increases the dispersion by making the variation (? Vp) of the pixel voltage of the pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor uneven, thereby increasing the dispersion of the variation of the pixel voltage .

2A, the gate signal output from the integrated driver increases from the first voltage V1 to the second voltage V2 at the first time point t1 and is maintained until the second time point t2, Is a square wave that decreases from the second voltage (V2) to the first voltage (V1) at the second time point (t2).

The gate signal is transmitted through the vertical gate line, and the falling time is increased due to the delay due to the resistance of the vertical gate line. As shown in FIG. 2B, at the upper portion of the liquid crystal panel, The first voltage V1 is reached at a third time point t3 later than the second time point t2 due to the resistance, and as shown in Fig. 2C, at the lower end portion of the liquid crystal panel, And reaches the first voltage V1 at the fourth time point t4 later than the third time point t3.

That is, the falling time (t3-t2) of the gate signal at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel and the falling time (t4-t2) of the gate signal at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel are different from each other. As a result, The variation of the proportional pixel voltage variation (? Vp = (Cgd / Clc + Cst + Cgd) * (? Vg)) increases and the quality of the image displayed by the liquid crystal display device decreases.

The liquid crystal layer between the pixel electrode, the common electrode, the pixel electrode, and the common electrode connected to the thin film transistor T constitutes a liquid crystal capacitor Clc.

The integrated driver 130 generates a gate signal using the gate control signal, and generates a data signal using the data control signal and the image data.

The gate signal generated in the integrated driver 130 is sequentially supplied to the first to mth horizontal gate lines GL1 to GLm through the first to nth vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn of the liquid crystal panel 120 The data signals generated in the integrated driver 130 are supplied to the first to the n-th data lines DL1 to DLn of the liquid crystal panel 120, respectively.

The integrated driving unit 130 includes a first film 132 including a plurality of wirings and connected to the liquid crystal panel 120 and the driving control unit 140 and a second film 132 mounted on the first film 132, (COF) including two integrated circuits (ICs) 134 and 136 and may be formed of a plurality of chips connected to the top of the liquid crystal panel 120 .

Here, the first and second integrated circuits 134 and 136 may generate a gate signal and a data signal, respectively, and the first integrated circuit 134 includes a shift register and the second integrated circuit 134 136 may include a digital analog converter (DAC).

On the other hand, in another embodiment, the integrated driver may be configured as an integrated integrated circuit that is mounted on a film and a film and generates a gate signal and a data signal.

The driving control unit 140 generates a gate control signal, a data control signal, and image data using the video signal and the plurality of timing signals received from the external system, and integrates the generated gate control signal, data control signal, And supplies it to the driving unit 130.

For example, the driving control unit 140 includes a timing controller, and the timing signals include data enable (DE), horizontal synchronization signal (HSY), vertical synchronization signal a vertical synchronization signal VSY and a clock CLK. The gate control signal includes a gate start pulse GSP, a gate shift clock GSC, a gate output enable signal gATE output enable (GOE), and the data control signal includes a source start pulse (SSP), a source sampling clock (SSC), and a source output enable (SOE) .

On the other hand, the liquid crystal panel 120 includes a display area DA used for image display and a non-display area NDA located around the display area DA and not used for image display.

In the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the integrated driver 130 is connected to the upper side of the liquid crystal panel 120 and the gate driver connected to both sides of the liquid crystal panel 120 is omitted, The gate signal generated in the integrated driver 130 is transferred to the first to mth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm through the first to nth vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn formed in the display area DA It is not necessary to form a plurality of supply lines for transmitting pads or gate control signals and gate signals for connection with the gate driver in the non-display area NDA.

Accordingly, the non-display area NDA of the liquid crystal panel 120 is minimized, and as a result, the liquid crystal display device 110 of a narrow bezel can be formed.

In this liquid crystal display device 110, since the gate signal is transmitted to the first to mth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm through the first to nth vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn, In order to prevent this, the integrated driver 130 uses a relatively low first gate low voltage during the first period of the falling period of the gate signal to prevent the gate signal from being delayed. And then generates a gate signal using a relatively high second gate-low voltage during the second period.

The delay reduction of the gate signal due to under-driving will be described with reference to the drawings.

4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating gate signals and voltages used for generating a gate signal of the liquid crystal display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5A to 5C are cross-sectional views of the liquid crystal display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the degree of delay of a gate signal.

5A shows the gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 and FIG. 5B shows the gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 120 adjacent to the integrated driver 130, 5C shows the gate signal Vg at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 120 remote from the integrated driver 130. In FIG.

4, the shift register of the integrated driver 130 generates the gate signal Vg using the gate high voltage VGH and the first and second gate low voltages VGL1 and VGL2, The signal Vg is sequentially supplied to the first to m-th horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm for one frame.

Specifically, the shift register of the integrated driver 130 outputs the second gate low voltage VGL2 to the gate signal Vg in the period before the rising point, and the gate high voltage VGH in the period between the rising point and the falling point, And outputs the first gate low voltage VGL1 as the gate signal Vg to the under driving section after the falling point and the second gate low voltage VGL1 as the gate signal Vg during the under driving section, VGL2 to the gate signal Vg so that the gate signal Vg has the gate high voltage VGH and the first gate low voltage VGL1 at the extremum based on the second gate low voltage VGL2 Two square wave pulses are synthesized.

During one frame, the first gate low voltage VGL1 is maintained at the first voltage V1 and the second gate low voltage VGL2 is maintained at the second voltage V2 which is higher than the first voltage V1. And the gate high voltage VGH is kept constant at the third voltage V3 which is larger than the second voltage V2.

Therefore, the gate signal Vg generated by using the first and second gate low voltages VGL1 and VGL2 and the gate high voltage VGH has the same shape for one frame and is output from the integrated driver 130 Th horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm.

The gate signal Vg output in the same form is delayed differently from each other while being transmitted through the first to nth vertical gate wirings GLV1 to GLVn to form the first to nth horizontal gate wirings GLH1 to GLHm, They have different shapes.

5A, the gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 is increased from the second voltage V2 to the third voltage V3 at the first time point t1, t2 at the second time point t2 and decreases from the third voltage V3 to the first voltage V1 at the second time point t2 and is maintained until the third time point t3, V1) to the second voltage (V2).

The gate signal Vg is transmitted through the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn and is delayed by the resistance of the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn to generate a falling time As shown in FIG. 5B, at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130, due to the resistance of the first through the n-th vertical gate wires GLV1 through GLVn, and reaches the second voltage V2 at the time point t4 by the resistance of the first to n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn which are relatively higher at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 as shown in Fig. 5C And reaches the second voltage V1 at the fifth time point t5 later than the third time point t3.

That is, by using the first gate low voltage VGL1 of the first voltage V1 which is smaller than the second voltage V2 during the under driving period (the interval between t2 and t3) which is the initial stage of the fall of the gate signal Vg, The falling time t4-t2 of the gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 and the falling time t5-t2 of the gate signal Vg at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 All can be reduced.

Here, the first voltage V1 of the first gate low voltage VGL1, the second voltage V2 of the second gate low voltage VGL2, and the third voltage V3 of the gate high voltage VGH, The difference V2-V1 between the first and second voltages V1 and V2 may be determined in accordance with the specifications of the device 110. For example, V3 - V2) ((V2 - V1) (V3 - V2)).

In the first embodiment, the under-driving periods t2 to t3, to which the first gate low voltage VGL1 of the first voltage V1 is applied, are applied to the first to nth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm Driving periods t2 to t3 are equal to the resistances of the first to nth vertical gate wirings GLV1 to GLVn (i.e., the first to nth horizontal gate wirings GLH1 to GLHm) The position of the light emitting diode (LED). For example, the under-driving period t2 to t3 may have a gradually decreasing or increasing width corresponding to the first to nth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm.

The width of the under-driving period t2 to t3 may be equal to or less than three times the width of the gate high section t1 to t2 between the rising time point and the falling time point at which the gate high voltage VGH is output ((t3- t2)? 3X (t2-t1)).

Table 1 shows the falling time of the pixel voltage variation amount? Vp and the gate signal Vg in the liquid crystal display device according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention and the conventional liquid crystal display device.

As shown in Table 1, in the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the gate signal Vg (t) in the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first horizontal gate line GLH1 And the falling time of the gate signal Vg in the two pixel regions P3 and P4 connected to the mth horizontal gate wiring GLHm are 2.21 μsec and 2.20 μsec , And the fall time of the gate signal (Vg) is 1.87 mu sec.

On the other hand, in the conventional liquid crystal display device, the fall time of the gate signal Vg in the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first gate wiring GL1 is 0.76 mu sec and 0.91 mu sec, The fall time of the gate signal Vg in the two pixel regions P3 and P4 connected to the gate wiring GLH is 3.64 mu sec and 3.64 mu sec respectively and the fall time of the gate signal Vg is 2.88 mu sec .

That is, the fall time of the gate signal Vg at the upper end and the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is lower than the upper end of the liquid crystal panel of the conventional liquid crystal display device And the gate signal Vg of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is scattered by the gate signal Vg of the conventional liquid crystal display device, And the delay and delay spread of the gate signal Vg are reduced.

Vp of the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first horizontal gate line GLH1 is 0.618 V And 0.601 V. The pixel voltage variation amounts of the two pixel regions P3 and P4 connected to the mth horizontal gate wiring GLHm are 0.530 V and 0.501 V and the variation of the pixel voltage variation is 0.117 V,

On the other hand, in the conventional liquid crystal display device, the pixel voltage variation amounts of the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first gate wiring GL1 are 0.549 V and 0.531 V, respectively, The pixel voltage variation amounts of the two pixel regions P3 and P4 to be connected are 0.450 V and 0.446 V, respectively, and the variation of the pixel voltage variation is 0.103 V.

That is, the pixel voltage fluctuation amounts at the upper and lower ends of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention are respectively the pixel voltages at the upper and lower ends of the liquid crystal panel of the conventional liquid crystal display device And the variation of the pixel voltage variation of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is larger than the variation of the pixel voltage variation of the conventional liquid crystal display device.

This is because the variation amount? Vg of the gate signal Vg is increased by the first gate low voltage VGL1 at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, As a result, the pixel voltage fluctuation amount increases. Such an increase in the pixel voltage fluctuation amount can act as a factor of deterioration of the quality of the image displayed by the liquid crystal display device 110.

The first gate low voltage VGL1 used for generating the gate signal may be gradually reduced according to the pixel region P in order to reduce the dispersion of the pixel voltage variation, which will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a gate signal and a voltage used for generating a gate signal in the liquid crystal display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 7a to 7d are cross-sectional views of the liquid crystal display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The liquid crystal display device of the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the liquid crystal display device of the first embodiment and will be described with reference to FIG.

7A shows a gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 to the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 120 and FIG. 7B shows a gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 120 adjacent to the integrated driver 130. FIG. 7C shows the gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 to the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 120 and FIG. 7D shows the gate signal Vg output from the liquid crystal panel The gate signal Vg at the lower end of the gate signal Vg1.

6, the shift register of the integrated driver 130 generates the gate signal Vg using the gate high voltage VGH and the first and second gate low voltages VGL1 and VGL2, The signal Vg is sequentially supplied to the first to m-th horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm for one frame.

Specifically, the shift register of the integrated driver 130 outputs the second gate low voltage VGL2 to the gate signal Vg in the period before the rising point, and the gate high voltage VGH in the period between the rising point and the falling point, And outputs the first gate low voltage VGL1 as the gate signal Vg to the under driving section after the falling point and the second gate low voltage VGL1 as the gate signal Vg during the under driving section, VGL2 to the gate signal Vg so that the gate signal Vg has the gate high voltage VGH and the first gate low voltage VGL1 at the extremum based on the second gate low voltage VGL2 Two square wave pulses are synthesized.

During one frame, the first gate low voltage VGL1 gradually decreases from the second voltage V2 to the first voltage V1, and the second gate low voltage VGL2 is lower than the first voltage V1 And the gate high voltage VGH is held constant at the third voltage V3 which is larger than the second voltage V2.

For example, the first gate-low voltage VGL1 is applied to the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn according to the resistance of the first to the n-th horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm Can be linearly decreased from the voltage V2 to the first voltage V1.

Accordingly, the gate signal Vg generated by using the first and second gate low voltages VGL1 and VGL2 and the gate high voltage VGH is different from each other for one frame and output from the integrated driver 130 Th horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm.

However, the gate signals Vg output in different forms are delayed differently from each other while being transmitted through the first to the n-th vertical gate wirings GLV1 to GLVn, The first to nth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm have a similar shape to each other.

7A, the gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 to the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 is supplied from the second voltage V2 to the third voltage V3 at the first time point t1, And is maintained until the second time point t2 and is decreased from the third voltage V3 to the second voltage V2 at the second time point t2.

7B, the gate signal Vg output from the integrated driver 130 to the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 is supplied from the second voltage V2 to the third voltage V2 at the first time point t1, The voltage V3 is maintained at the second time point t2 and is decreased from the third voltage V3 to the first voltage V1 at the second time point t2 and is maintained until the third time point t3, Is increased and maintained from the first voltage (V1) to the second voltage (V2) at the time t3.

The gate signal Vg is transmitted through the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn and is delayed by the resistance of the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn to generate a falling time As shown in FIG. 7C, at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130, due to the resistance of the relatively first through n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn, 7D, by the resistance of the relatively high first to n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130, the second voltage V2 reaches the second voltage V2 at time t4, And reaches the second voltage V1 at the fifth time point t5 later than the third time point t3.

That is, during the period of the under-driving interval t2 and t3 during the falling period of the gate signal Vg, the first to the n-th vertical gate lines GLV1 to GLVn, The falling time t4-t2 of the gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 and the falling time t4-t2 of the liquid crystal panel 130 can be reduced by using the first gate low voltage VGL1 gradually decreasing to the voltage V1. All the fall time t5-t2 of the gate signal Vg at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 can be reduced and the scattering of the pixel voltage variation Vp of the liquid crystal panel 130 can be reduced.

Here, the first voltage V1 of the first gate low voltage VGL1, the second voltage V2 of the second gate low voltage VGL2, and the third voltage of the gate high voltage VGH are supplied to the liquid crystal display 110 For example, the difference (V2-V1) between the first and second voltages V1 and V2 may be different from the difference (V3-V2) between the second and third voltages V2 and V3 ) ((V2 - V1) (V3 - V2)).

In the second embodiment, the under-driving periods t2 to t3 to which the first gate low voltage VGL1 of the first voltage V1 is applied are the same for the first to nth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm Driving periods t2 to t3 are equal to the resistances of the first to nth vertical gate wirings GLV1 to GLVn (i.e., the first to nth horizontal gate wirings GLH1 to GLHm) The position of the light emitting diode (LED). For example, the under-driving period t2 to t3 may have a gradually decreasing or increasing width corresponding to the first to nth horizontal gate lines GLH1 to GLHm.

The width of the under-driving period t2 to t3 may be equal to or less than three times the width of the gate high section t1 to t2 between the rising time point and the falling time point at which the gate high voltage VGH is output ((t3- t2)? 3X (t2-t1)).

As shown in Table 1, in the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the gate signal Vg (Vg) in the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first horizontal gate line GLH1 The falling time of the gate signal Vg in the two pixel regions P3 and P4 connected to the mth horizontal gate wiring GLHm is 2.21 mu sec and 2.20 mu sec And the drop time of the gate signal Vg is 1.45 mu sec.

That is, the fall time of the gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is lower than that of the gate signal Vg at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel of the conventional liquid crystal display device. The fall time of the gate signal Vg at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is lower than that of the conventional liquid crystal display device Is shorter than the fall time of the gate signal (Vg) at the lower end of the liquid crystal panel and the scattering of the gate signal (Vg) of the liquid crystal display device (110) according to the first embodiment of the present invention, (Vg), and the delay and delay spread of the gate signal (Vg) are reduced.

In the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the pixel voltage variation amount? Vp of the two pixel regions P1 and P2 connected to the first horizontal gate line GLH1 is 0.549 V , 0.531 V, and the pixel voltage variation amounts of the two pixel regions P3 and P4 connected to the mth horizontal gate wiring GLHm are 0.530 V and 0.501 V, respectively, and the variation of the pixel voltage variation is 0.048 V.

That is, the pixel voltage fluctuation amount at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the pixel voltage fluctuation amount at the upper end of the liquid crystal panel of the conventional liquid crystal display device, The pixel voltage fluctuation amount at the lower end portion of the liquid crystal panel 130 of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is larger than the pixel voltage fluctuation amount at the lower end portion of the liquid crystal panel of the conventional liquid crystal display device, The variation of the pixel voltage variation of the liquid crystal display device 110 according to the first embodiment is smaller than the variation of the pixel voltage variation of the conventional liquid crystal display device and the liquid crystal display device 110 is displayed The quality of the image is improved.
