Description

Display device

The present invention relates to a display device, and particularly to a display device with switchable mode.

The power consumption of portable display devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers will affect the length of use. Therefore, if the power consumption of the display device can be reduced, the use time of the display device can be extended, and the effect of energy saving can be achieved. When the display device operates at a low frequency, it can have lower power consumption, but it needs a large storage capacitor to suppress the negative effect of leakage effects on the display quality, such as the phenomenon of fading or flicker of the display screen due to leakage . However, as the resolution of the display device increases, the area of the pixels becomes smaller, and the storage capacitance thereof is relatively small, resulting in a larger feed-through voltage, crosstalk, and even worsening of the leakage effect. In view of the above, how to increase the storage capacitance and suppress the leakage effect has become one of the current research and development priorities.

The invention provides a display device which can increase the storage capacitance and suppress the leakage effect.

A display device according to an embodiment of the invention includes multiple sub-pixels. Each sub-pixel includes a first control line, a second control line, a first driving element, a second driving element, a first storage capacitor, a display medium capacitor, and a second storage capacitor. The gate of the first driving element is electrically connected to the first control line. The drain of the first driving element is electrically connected to the source of the second driving element, the first storage capacitor, and the display medium capacitor. The gate of the second driving element is electrically connected to the second control line. The drain of the second driving element is electrically connected to the second storage capacitor. In the first mode, the first driving element is turned on during the first scanning period and is off during the first maintenance period, and the second driving element is turned off during the first scanning period and the first maintenance period . In the second mode, the first driving element is on during the second scanning period and off during the second sustaining period, and the second driving element is on during the second scanning period and the second maintaining period .

Based on the above, in an embodiment of the present invention, the display device can switch between multiple modes (including the first mode and the second mode). In the first mode, the second driving element is continuously turned off, so that the sub-pixel has a smaller storage capacitance, thereby helping to improve the charging rate problem. In the second mode, the second driving element is continuously turned on, so that the sub-pixel has a larger storage capacitance, which can effectively suppress the negative effect of the leakage effect on the display quality.

In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the embodiments are specifically described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed description as follows.

Directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, for example, "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc., are only directions referring to the drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustration, not for limiting the present invention. In the drawings, each drawing depicts general features of methods, structures, and/or materials used in particular exemplary embodiments. However, these drawings should not be construed as defining or limiting the scope or nature covered by these exemplary embodiments. For example, for the sake of clarity, the relative thickness and position of each film layer, region, and/or structure may be reduced or enlarged.

In the embodiments, the same or similar elements will use the same or similar reference numerals, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted. In addition, the features in the different exemplary embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict, and simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with this specification or the scope of the patent application are still covered by this patent. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" mentioned in this specification or patent application are only used to name discrete components or distinguish different embodiments or ranges, not to limit the number of components. The upper limit or the lower limit is not intended to limit the manufacturing order or setting order of the components.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the display device has multiple modes (including the first mode and the second mode), and the display device can switch between the multiple modes. For example, the first mode has a first operating frequency, the second mode has a second operating frequency, and the display device can switch between the multiple operating frequencies. Here, the operating frequency refers to the update frequency of the display screen. An operating frequency of 60 hertz (Hz) means that the display device updates the display screen every 1/60 second. When the second operating frequency is lower than the first operating frequency, the second mode is called a low-frequency mode, and the first mode is called a high-frequency mode. Here, an example of the low frequency mode may include that the update frequency of the display picture is lower than 60 Hz, such as 1 Hz, 24 Hz or other hertz. Examples of the high-frequency mode may include that the update frequency of the display image is above 60 Hz, such as 60 Hz, 120 Hz or other hertz. Since the display device updates the display screen at a lower frequency in the second mode, the display device can have lower power consumption and more energy-saving in the second mode. For convenience of description, the following embodiments are described with the first mode being a high-frequency mode and the second mode being a low-frequency mode, but the types of modes of the display device are not limited to the above.

FIG. 1 is an equivalent circuit diagram of one sub-pixel of the display device of the embodiment of the present invention. 2A and 2B are driving waveform diagrams of the first mode and the second mode, respectively. 1 to 2B, a display device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes multiple sub-pixels SP. Each sub-pixel SP includes a first control line CL1, a second control line CL2, a first driving element T1, a second driving element T2, a first storage capacitor C1, a display medium capacitor Cm, and a second storage capacitor C2. The gate G1 of the first driving element T1 is electrically connected to the first control line CL1. The drain D1 of the first driving element T1 is electrically connected to the source S2 of the second driving element T2, the first storage capacitor C1, and the display medium capacitor Cm. The gate G2 of the second driving element T2 is electrically connected to the second control line CL2. The drain D2 of the second driving element T2 is electrically connected to the second storage capacitor C2.

Each sub-pixel SP may further include a third control line CL3, and the source S1 of the first driving element T1 is electrically connected to the third control line CL3. The first control line CL1 and the second control line CL2 are, for example, scan lines, and the third control line CL3 is, for example, a data line.

In the first mode, the first driving element T1 is in the on state during the first scanning period SC1 and is off during the first sustaining period H1, and the second driving element T2 is in the first scanning period SC1 and the first maintaining The time period H1 is in the off state. For example, as shown by line L1A in FIG. 2A, during the first scan period SC1, a positive pulse voltage (or high potential) is sent to the gate G1 of the first driving element T1 via the first control line CL1 shown in FIG. , VGH) to turn on the first driving element T1 and charge the first storage capacitor C1 and the display medium capacitor Cm. In addition, in the first sustain period H1, a negative voltage (or low potential, VGL) is sent to the gate G1 of the first driving element T1 via the first control line CL1 shown in FIG. 1 to turn off the first driving element T1. On the other hand, as indicated by line L2A in FIG. 2A, in the first scan period SC1 and the first sustain period H1, it is sent out to the gate G2 of the second driving element T2 via the second control line CL2 shown in FIG. The negative voltage keeps the second driving element T2 in the off state. That is to say, in the first mode, the second storage capacitor C2 is not charged, and the storage capacitance of the sub-pixel SP in the first mode mainly depends on the first storage capacitor C1 and the display medium capacitor Cm.

In the second mode, the first driving element T1 is turned on during the second scanning period SC2 and is off during the second sustaining period H2, and the second driving element T2 is during the second scanning period SC2 and the second sustaining The time period H2 is in the on state. For example, as shown by line L1B in FIG. 2B, during the second scan period SC2, a positive pulse voltage (or high potential) is sent to the gate G1 of the first driving element T1 via the first control line CL1 shown in FIG. , VGH) to turn on the first driving element T1 and charge the first storage capacitor C1 and the display medium capacitor Cm. In addition, in the second sustain period H2, a negative voltage (or low potential, VGL) is sent to the gate G1 of the first driving element T1 via the first control line CL1 shown in FIG. 1 to turn off the first driving element T1. On the other hand, as shown by line L2B of FIG. 2B, in the second scan period SC2 and the second sustain period H2, the second control line CL2 shown in FIG. 1 is sent to the gate G2 of the second driving element T2 The positive voltage (or high potential, VGH) keeps the second driving element T2 on. In other words, in the second mode, the second storage capacitor C2 is continuously charged, and the storage capacity of the sub-pixel SP in the second mode depends on the first storage capacitor C1 and the display medium capacitance Cm In the second storage capacitor C2.

According to the above, the sub-pixel SP has a smaller storage capacitance in the first mode and a larger storage capacitance in the second mode. In the first mode (high-frequency mode), a small storage capacitor is easier to charge, so it helps to improve the problem of insufficient charging time in high-frequency mode. On the other hand, in the second mode (low-frequency mode), the large storage capacitor is more stable to the potential affected by the leakage effect, so it can effectively suppress the negative impact of the leakage effect on the display quality while saving energy.

The insulating layer IN1 is disposed on the first patterned conductive layer and the substrate SUB not covered by the first patterned conductive layer. The channel layer CH1 of the first driving element T1 is provided on the insulating layer IN1 and overlaps with the gate G1.

The channel layer CH1 and the channel layer CH2 are made of poly-Si material, for example. The source electrode S1 and the drain electrode D1 are located on opposite sides of the channel layer CH1, and the source electrode S2 and the drain electrode D2 are located on opposite sides of the channel layer CH2. The third control line CL3 crosses the first control line CL1 and the second control line CL2, and is electrically insulated from the first control line CL1 and the second control line CL2 through the insulating layer IN1. The source electrode S1, the drain electrode D1, the source electrode S2, the drain electrode D2, and the third control line CL3 all belong to the second patterned conductive layer. The insulating layer IN2, the insulating layer IN3, and the insulating layer IN4 are sequentially stacked on the substrate SUB. However, the relative arrangement relationship, manufacturing sequence, and/or material of the elements and/or film layers in the active element array substrate 10A may be changed according to requirements, and not limited to the above.

For the marginal field switching display device, each sub-pixel SP further includes a first pixel electrode PE1, a second pixel electrode PE2, and a common electrode CE.

The common electrode CE overlaps the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2, and the common electrode CE is located between the insulating layer IN3 and the insulating layer IN4, for example. However, the relative arrangement relationship, manufacturing sequence, and/or material of the above-mentioned multiple elements and/or film layers can be changed according to requirements, and not limited to the above.

The composition of the first storage capacitor C1 includes a first pixel electrode PE1, a common electrode CE, and an insulating layer IN4 between the first pixel electrode PE1 and the common electrode CE. The composition of the second storage capacitor C2 includes a second pixel electrode PE2, a common electrode CE, and an insulating layer IN4 between the second pixel electrode PE2 and the common electrode CE.

Each sub-pixel SP has a light-transmitting area A1 and a non-light-transmitting area A2. The light-transmitting area A1 and the non-light-transmitting area A2 can be defined by a decorative layer (not shown) in the counter substrate of the display device 1. Further, the decorative layer is suitable for shielding the components of the display device 1 that are not intended to be seen by the user, wherein the area covered by the decorative layer (that is, the area overlapping the decorative layer) is the non-light-transmitting area A2 without being decorated The area covered by the layer (that is, the area that does not overlap with the decorative layer) is the light-transmitting area A1. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3B, the first pixel electrode PE1 of the first storage capacitor C1 overlaps the light-transmitting area A1, and the second pixel electrode PE2 of the second storage capacitor C2 and the non-light-transmitting area A2 overlapping. In other words, the second storage capacitor C2 of this embodiment is shielded by the decoration layer. In the same layer structure as the second pixel electrode PE2 and the first pixel electrode PE1, when the second driving element T2 is in an on state (as in the second mode), the second pixel electrode PE2 and the common electrode CE The electric field affects the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer (display medium layer), thereby affecting the display effect. Therefore, the area where the second storage capacitor C2 is located can be shielded by the decorative layer to prevent the area from being seen by the user.

4 is a partial schematic top view of a second aspect of an active element array substrate of a display device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the main difference between the active device array substrate 10B and the active device array substrate 10A of FIG. 3A is the relative arrangement relationship of the first control line CL1, the second control line CL2, the first driving element T1, and the second driving element T2 And production sequence. For example, the manufacturing sequence of the plurality of patterned conductive layers in the active device array substrate 10B may be different according to requirements.

In addition, the two patterned conductive layers can be electrically insulated from each other through an insulating layer (not shown).

5 is a partial schematic top view of a third aspect of an active device array substrate of a display device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the main difference between the active element array substrate 10C and the active element array substrate 10A of FIG. 3A is the relative arrangement relationship of the first pixel electrode PE1, the second pixel electrode PE2, and the common electrode CE. For example, the second pixel electrode PE2 of this embodiment overlaps the first driving element T1 and the second driving element T2. Under this architecture, the area of the common electrode (not shown, please refer to FIG. 3C) overlapping with the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 will increase. In addition, after changing the position of the second pixel electrode PE2, the first pixel electrode PE1 may further occupy the area originally used to set the second pixel electrode PE2 in FIG. 3A, so the first pixel electrode PE1 may have a larger Area. Correspondingly, the area of the light-transmitting area A1 in FIG. 3B can be increased (eg, enlarged to the area where the second storage capacitor C2 in FIG. 3B is located), and the area of the non-light-transmitting area A2 can be reduced. Therefore, the neutron pixel SP in FIG. 5 may have a larger aperture ratio.

6A is a schematic partial top view of a fourth aspect of an active device array substrate of a display device according to an embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 6A, the second pixel electrode PE2 covered by the first pixel electrode PE1 is indicated by a broken line. 6B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line II-II' in FIG. 6A. 6A and 6B, the main difference between the active element array substrate 10D and the active element array substrate 10A of FIGS. 3A and 3C is the relative arrangement relationship of the first pixel electrode PE1, the second pixel electrode PE2 and the common electrode CE And the area of each electrode. For example, the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 overlap each other and are located on opposite sides of the common electrode CE, respectively. In other words, the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 do not belong to the same patterned conductive layer.

In detail, the active device array substrate 10D further includes an insulating layer IN5. The first pixel electrode PE1 is disposed on the insulating layer IN5, and the first pixel electrode PE1 is electrically connected to the drain D1 of the first driving element T1 through the through hole TH1. The second pixel electrode PE2 is disposed on the insulating layer IN3, and the second pixel electrode PE2 is electrically connected to the drain D2 of the second driving element T2 through the through hole TH2. The common electrode CE is located between the insulating layer IN4 and the insulating layer IN5.

In the embodiments of FIGS. 3A to 5, the second pixel electrode PE2 is located in the opaque area A2 (the second pixel electrode PE2 is shielded by the decorative layer), so the second pixel electrode PE2 can be a transparent electrode except for In addition, it may be a non-light-transmitting electrode. In this embodiment, the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 overlap each other (the second pixel electrode PE2 is located below the first pixel electrode PE1). In other words, the second pixel electrode PE2 and the first pixel electrode PE1 are co-located in the light-transmitting area, so the second pixel electrode PE2 is preferably a light-transmitting electrode to avoid affecting the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel SP.

In this embodiment, the area of the second pixel electrode PE2 may be equal to the area of the first pixel electrode PE1. Under this architecture, the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 can have the same pattern, so that the first pixel electrode PE1 and the second pixel electrode PE2 can be made using the same photomask. In addition, this embodiment may have a larger second storage capacitor.

7 and 8 are schematic top views of two aspects of the display device of the embodiment of the present invention. 7 and 8, in the display device 1A and the display device 1B, a plurality of sub-pixels SP are arranged in an array. The display device 1A and the display device 1B further include a plurality of wires W. These wires W are connected to a plurality of second control lines of a plurality of sub-pixels SP (not shown, please refer to FIG. 1) from at least one side of the array. Under this architecture, the plurality of sub-pixels SP further away from the at least one side of the array will have serious leakage due to RC loading. That is to say, the degree of leakage of the sub-pixels SP in different areas of the array will be different due to the resistive and capacitive loads. In order to reduce the negative impact on the image uniformity caused by different levels of leakage, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP can be adjusted regionally according to the severity of the leakage. By making the sub-pixel SP located in the region where the leakage problem is more serious have a larger second storage capacitor, the picture uniformity in the second mode can be improved.

In FIG. 7, these wires W connect the second control lines of the plurality of sub-pixels SP from one side (such as the left side) of the array, so the farther away from the one side (such as the left side) of the array The multiple sub-pixels SP (that is, the multiple sub-pixels SP closer to the right side of the array) will have more serious leakage due to resistive and capacitive loads. Under this architecture, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP can be increased toward the direction X away from the one side (such as increasing from left to right) to improve the uniformity of the picture in the second mode Sex. For example, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP located on the left side of the array is C, and the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixel SPs located in the center of the array is 1.1C Up to 1.3C, and the sizes of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP located on the right side of the array are 1.3C to 1.5C. On the other hand, the first storage capacitors (not shown, please refer to FIG. 1) of the plurality of sub-pixels SP may all have the same size.

In FIG. 8, multiple wires W connect multiple second control lines of multiple sub-pixels SP from opposite sides (left and right sides) of the array. Under this architecture, the multiple sub-pixels SP that are farther away from the opposite sides of the array (ie, the multiple sub-pixels SP closer to the center of the array) will have more serious leakage due to resistive and capacitive loads . Therefore, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP can be increased from the opposite sides toward the center of the array to improve the uniformity of the picture in the second mode. For example, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels SP located on the left and right sides of the array is C, and the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixel SPs located in the center of the array It is 1.1C to 1.5C.

In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, the display device can switch between multiple modes (including the first mode and the second mode). In the first mode, the second driving element is continuously turned off, so that the sub-pixel has a smaller storage capacitance, thereby helping to improve the charging rate problem. In the second mode, the second driving element is continuously turned on, so that the sub-pixel has a larger storage capacitance, which can effectively suppress the negative effect of the leakage effect on the display quality. In one embodiment, by adjusting the relative arrangement relationship and manufacturing sequence of the film layer or device, the number of required insulating layers can be reduced, the increase in load, the increase in the aperture ratio, and the improvement in the second storage capacitor can be achieved. At least one. In another embodiment, the size of the plurality of second storage capacitors of the plurality of sub-pixels can also be adjusted regionally according to the severity of the leakage to improve the uniformity of the picture in the second mode.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with examples, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
