顯示驅動器及顯示裝置 Display driver and display device

本發明是有關於一種電子裝置及電子裝置的驅動器,且特別是有關於一種顯示裝置及顯示驅動器。 The present invention relates to an electronic device and a driver for an electronic device, and more particularly to a display device and a display driver.

隨著顯示技術的蓬勃發展,目前市場對於顯示面板的性能要求是朝向高解析度、高亮度與低耗電等方向邁進。然而,隨著顯示面板的解析度增加,為了顯示高解析度,其上的子畫素的數目也會隨之增加,從而增加顯示面板的製作成本。為了降低顯示面板的製作成本,子畫素成像方法(sub-pixel rendering method,SPR method)便應運而生。顯示裝置使用不同子畫素排列及設計制定出適合的演算法,使顯示影像時的解析度能夠提高至子畫素解析度。由於子畫素的尺寸比畫素更小,故可使人眼能夠看到影像的解析度(即,視覺解析度)提高。此外,就低耗電的角度來看,顯示裝置也可依據實際應用的需求操作在低功率操作模式中。在低功率操作模式中,顯示裝置若能夠持續提供良好的顯示品質,將可提供較佳的使用者體驗。 With the rapid development of display technology, the current market performance requirements for display panels are toward high resolution, high brightness and low power consumption. However, as the resolution of the display panel increases, in order to display high resolution, the number of sub-pixels thereon also increases, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost of the display panel. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the display panel, a sub-pixel rendering method (SPR method) has emerged. The display device uses a different sub-pixel arrangement and design to develop a suitable algorithm, so that the resolution at the time of displaying the image can be improved to the sub-pixel resolution. Since the size of the sub-pixel is smaller than the pixel, the human eye can see that the resolution (ie, the visual resolution) of the image is improved. In addition, from the perspective of low power consumption, the display device can also operate in a low power mode of operation depending on the needs of the actual application. In the low power mode of operation, the display device will provide a better user experience if it continues to provide good display quality.

舉例而言,在一實施例中,電壓輸出單元320在第二顯示模式中例如是利用伽瑪電壓V0、V186、V255來驅動顯示面板120上的多個子畫素顯示對應的灰階值。在此例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據顯示面板120上子畫素的排列方式來決定,並且所決定的伽瑪電壓V186是介在伽瑪電壓V0、V255之間。也就是說,伽瑪電壓V186作為兩者之間的中間電壓,是以面板子畫素比例關係決定,用以提供子畫素排列在邊緣上補色的需求。在另一實施例中,電壓輸出單元320在第二顯示模式中例如是利用伽瑪電壓V0、V155、V212、V255來驅動顯示面板120上的多個子畫素顯示對應的灰階值。在此例中,伽瑪電壓V155、V212例如是依據顯示面板120上子畫素的排列方式來決定,並且所決定的伽瑪電壓V155、V212介在伽瑪電壓V0、V255之間。在本實施例中,相 較於第二顯示模式,在第一顯示模式中,用來驅動顯示面板120的伽瑪電壓V0、V255及其他預設的伽瑪電壓是預先決定的,並不會依據顯示面板120上和子畫素排列方式相關的比例關係來調整。也就是說,伽瑪電壓V0、V255決定顯示面板120的最小灰階值及最大灰階值。 For example, in an embodiment, the voltage output unit 320 drives the plurality of sub-pixels on the display panel 120 to display corresponding grayscale values, for example, by using the gamma voltages V0, V186, and V255 in the second display mode. In this example, the gamma voltage V186 is determined, for example, according to the arrangement of sub-pixels on the display panel 120, and the determined gamma voltage V186 is interposed between the gamma voltages V0 and V255. That is to say, the gamma voltage V186 is used as the intermediate voltage between the two, which is determined by the proportional relationship of the panel sub-pixels, and is used to provide the sub-pixel arrangement to complement the color on the edge. In another embodiment, the voltage output unit 320 drives the plurality of sub-pixels on the display panel 120 to display corresponding grayscale values, for example, by using the gamma voltages V0, V155, V212, and V255 in the second display mode. In this example, the gamma voltages V155 and V212 are determined, for example, according to the arrangement of sub-pixels on the display panel 120, and the determined gamma voltages V155 and V212 are interposed between the gamma voltages V0 and V255. In this embodiment, the phase Compared with the second display mode, in the first display mode, the gamma voltages V0, V255 and other preset gamma voltages for driving the display panel 120 are predetermined, and are not based on the display panel 120 and the sub-pictures. The proportional relationship related to the arrangement of the elements is adjusted. That is, the gamma voltages V0, V255 determine the minimum grayscale value and the maximum grayscale value of the display panel 120.

應注意的是,雖然本實施例是以顯示驅動器110包括兩個顯示驅動通道來例示說明,但本發明並不限於此。在一實施例中,第二顯示驅動通道114的驅動功能也可以整合到第一顯示驅動通道112當中的任一電路區塊來實現。或者,在一實施例中,第二顯示驅動通道114的驅動功能也可在第一顯示驅動通道112當中新增一電路區塊來實現。 It should be noted that although the present embodiment is exemplified in that the display driver 110 includes two display driving channels, the present invention is not limited thereto.

The plurality of pixel units 422R, 422B are displayed on the display panel 420. In this embodiment, the pixel data P11 to P44 respectively include the first color sub-pixel data, the second color sub-pixel data, and the third color sub-pixel data. Further, in the present embodiment, although FIG. 3 is exemplified by only the 16-pixel data P11 to P44, the number thereof is not intended to limit the present invention. In the present embodiment, the display panel 420 includes a plurality of pixel units 422R, 422B, and each of the pixel units 422R, 422B includes two sub-pixels. The two sub-pixels are, for example, sub-pixels of two colors selected from the group consisting of a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel, and a third color sub-pixel. For example, in this embodiment, the first color sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel, and the third color sub-pixel are, for example, a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, respectively. The invention is not limited. In an embodiment, the first color sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel, and the third color sub-pixel may be a combination of white sub-pixels and other different color sub-pixels. In the present embodiment, the pixel unit 422R includes, for example, a red sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel, and the pixel unit 422B includes, for example, a blue sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel. Two pixel units 422R, 422B including different color sub-pixels are staggered in different directions of the display panel 420 to form a sub-pixel array. In this embodiment, the pixel units 422R, 422B respectively include two sub-pixels.

在本實施例中,顯示驅動器110例如將畫素資料P11寫入畫素單元422R,兩者在X方向及Y方向上同樣具有一個畫素寬度WP。在本實施例中,由於畫素單元422R僅包括紅色子畫素和綠色子畫素,因此,顯示驅動器110是利用子畫素成像方法來驅動顯示面板420顯示影像畫面。在子畫素成像方法中,為了顯示位在具有紅色、藍色、綠色的畫素資料P11,僅包括紅色子畫素和綠色子畫素的畫素單元422R至少會協同與其鄰近的畫素單元422B共同來顯示畫素資料P11,以補償其本身所缺少的藍色子畫 素。類似地,在子畫素成像方法中,為了顯示具有紅色、藍色、綠色的畫素資料P12,僅包括藍色子畫素和綠色子畫素的畫素單元422B至少會協同與其左右相鄰畫素單元422R共同來顯示畫素資料P12,以補償其本身所缺少的紅色子畫素。此種利用相鄰畫素單元協同來顯示同一筆畫素資料的方法或可稱之為子畫素成像方法,惟本發明並不限於此。在其他實施例中,顯示驅動器110利用子畫素成像方法來驅動顯示面板420顯示影像畫面的驅動方法尚有其他變化之可能。 In the present embodiment, the display driver 110 writes, for example, the pixel data P11 into the pixel unit 422R, which also has a pixel width WP in the X direction and the Y direction. In the present embodiment, since the pixel unit 422R includes only the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel, the display driver 110 drives the display panel 420 to display the image frame by using the sub-pixel imaging method. In the sub-pixel imaging method, in order to display the pixel data P11 having red, blue, and green colors, the pixel unit 422R including only the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel will cooperate with at least the pixel unit adjacent thereto. 422B jointly displays the pixel data P11 to compensate for the blue sub-pictures that are missing by itself. Prime. Similarly, in the sub-pixel imaging method, in order to display the pixel data P12 having red, blue, and green colors, the pixel unit 422B including only the blue sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel is at least adjacent to the left and right sides thereof. The pixel unit 422R collectively displays the pixel data P12 to compensate for the red sub-pixels that are missing by itself. Such a method of displaying the same pixel data by using adjacent pixel units in cooperation may be referred to as a sub-pixel imaging method, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

請繼續參考圖5,在本實施例中,顯示面板420的部分子畫素以一陣列方式排列形成圖5的子畫素重複單元430。子畫素重複單元430重複排列以形成顯示面板420的子畫素陣列。在本實施例中,子畫素重複單元430例如是由多個畫素單元422R、422B排列所形成的4×4的畫素陣列。在本實施例中,除了伽瑪電壓V0、V255以外,電壓輸出單元320在第二顯示模式中例如更利用一伽瑪電壓V186來驅動顯示面板420上的子畫素。在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據至少一比例關係來決定。此比例關係是依據畫素單元422R、422B在子畫素重複單元430中,以畫素單元為基礎,在X方向上佔有的一第一數量比例(水平子畫素比例)和在Y方向上佔有的一第二數量比例(垂直子畫素比例)來決定。舉例而言,以紅色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元430的第一列中,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元422R在X方向上的同一列(row)中佔有的第一數量比例為1/2。也就是說,以畫素單元為基礎,在第一 列的四個畫素單元422R、422B中,具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元422R在數量上佔了兩個,因此第一數量比例為1/2。在Y方向上每一畫素列都包括畫素單元422R,因此,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元422R在Y方向上中佔有的第二數量比例為1/1。也就是說,在子畫素重複單元430中,以畫素單元為基礎,每一列都包括具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元422R,因此第二數量比例為1/1。因此,依據紅色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/2)/(1/1)=1/2。類似地,以藍色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元430中,畫素單元422B在X方向上同一列中佔有的第一數量比例為1/2。在Y方向上每一畫素列都包括畫素單元422B,因此,畫素單元422B在Y方向上中佔有的第二數量比例為1/1。因此,依據藍色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/2)/(1/1)=1/2。此外,再以綠色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元430中,由於畫素單元422B、422R都包括綠色子畫素,因此,畫素單元422B、422R在X方向上同一列中佔有的第一數量比例為1/1,在Y方向上同一行中佔有的第二數量比例為1/1。因此,依據綠色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/1)/(1/1)=1/1。在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據1/2的比例關係搭配一預設的伽瑪電壓曲線來決定,並且用以驅動顯示面板420上紅色及藍色的子畫素。 Referring to FIG. 5, in the embodiment, a part of the sub-pixels of the display panel 420 are arranged in an array to form the sub-pixel repeating unit 430 of FIG. 5. The sub-pixel repetition unit 430 is repeatedly arranged to form a sub-pixel array of the display panel 420. In the present embodiment, the sub-pixel repetition unit 430 is, for example, a 4×4 pixel array formed by arranging a plurality of pixel units 422R and 422B. In the present embodiment, in addition to the gamma voltages V0, V255, the voltage output unit 320 drives the sub-pixels on the display panel 420, for example, by using a gamma voltage V186 in the second display mode. In the present embodiment, the gamma voltage V186 is determined, for example, according to at least one proportional relationship. This proportional relationship is based on the pixel elements 422R, 422B in the sub-pixel repetition unit 430, based on the pixel unit, a first quantity ratio (horizontal sub-pixel ratio) occupied in the X direction and in the Y direction. The second quantity ratio (the vertical sub-pixel ratio) of the possession is determined. For example, taking the red sub-pixel as an example, in the first column of the sub-pixel repetition unit 430, the pixel unit 422R occupies the same row in the X direction in terms of the number ratio. A quantity ratio is 1/2. In other words, based on the pixel unit, at the first Among the four pixel units 422R, 422B of the column, the pixel unit 422R having the red sub-pixels occupies two in number, and thus the first number ratio is 1/2. Each pixel column in the Y direction includes a pixel unit 422R, and therefore, the second number ratio of the pixel unit 422R in the Y direction is 1/1 in terms of the number ratio. That is to say, in the sub-pixel repetition unit 430, each column includes the pixel unit 422R having the red sub-pixel on the basis of the pixel unit, and thus the second number ratio is 1/1. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the red sub-pixel is (1/2) / (1/1) = 1/2. Similarly, taking the blue sub-pixel as an example, in the sub-pixel repeating unit 430, the first number ratio of the pixel units 422B occupying the same column in the X direction is 1/2. Each pixel column in the Y direction includes a pixel unit 422B, and therefore, the second number ratio of the pixel unit 422B in the Y direction is 1/1. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the blue sub-pixel is (1/2) / (1/1) = 1/2. Further, taking the green sub-pixel as an example, in the sub-pixel repeating unit 430, since the pixel units 422B and 422R all include the green sub-pixel, the pixel units 422B and 422R occupy the same column in the X direction. The first quantity ratio is 1/1, and the second quantity ratio occupied in the same line in the Y direction is 1/1. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the green sub-pixel is (1/1)/(1/1)=1/1. In the present embodiment, the gamma voltage V186 is determined, for example, according to a proportional relationship of 1/2 with a preset gamma voltage curve, and is used to drive red and blue sub-pixels on the display panel 420.

在伽瑪電壓V186的電壓值依據顯示面板420上子畫素的排列方式來決定之後,電壓輸出單元320會依據目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的多個子畫素之間的邊界關係來判斷是否利用所決定 的伽瑪電壓V186來驅動目標驅動子畫素。舉例而言,在本實施例中,假設目標驅動子畫素為圖4中畫素單元422B的藍色子畫素,資料處理單元310會依據寫入目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的子畫素的子畫素資料的最高有效位元來決定此些子畫素之間的邊界關係。以畫素資料P11、P12、P13的藍色子畫素資料為例,資料處理單元310會擷取(fetch)其中的藍色子畫素資料的最高有效位元,以決定藍色子畫素之間的邊界關係。假設資料處理單元310所擷取的藍色子畫素資料的最高有效位元的序列依序為010,在此例中,電壓輸出單元320會判斷利用伽瑪電壓V186來驅動畫素單元422B的藍色子畫素。此外,在本實施例中,假設資料處理單元310所擷取的藍色子畫素資料的最高有效位元的序列為011、100或101,電壓輸出單元320也會判斷利用伽瑪電壓V186來驅動畫素單元422B的藍色子畫素。在本實施例中,若藍色子畫素資料的最高有效位元的序列為000、001、110或111,電壓輸出單元320例如是以伽瑪電壓V0或V255來驅動畫素單元422B的藍色子畫素。類似地,在本實施例中,若目標驅動子畫素是畫素單元422R的紅色子畫素,電壓輸出單元320是否利用伽瑪電壓V186來驅動也可利用上述判斷方法來決定,在此不再贅述。另外,在本實施例中,綠色子畫素例如是以伽瑪電壓V0或V255來驅動。 After the voltage value of the gamma voltage V186 is determined according to the arrangement of the sub-pixels on the display panel 420, the voltage output unit 320 determines the boundary relationship between the target driving sub-pixel and the plurality of sub-pixels adjacent thereto. Whether to use the decision The gamma voltage V186 drives the target drive sub-pixel. For example, in the present embodiment, assuming that the target driver sub-pixel is the blue sub-pixel of the pixel unit 422B in FIG. 4, the data processing unit 310 drives the sub-pixel and the adjacent sub-pixel according to the write target. The most significant bit of the sub-pixel data of the pixel determines the boundary relationship between these sub-pixels. Taking the blue sub-pixel data of the pixel data P11, P12, and P13 as an example, the data processing unit 310 fetches the most significant bit of the blue sub-pixel data to determine the blue sub-pixel. The boundary relationship between. It is assumed that the sequence of the most significant bits of the blue sub-pixel data captured by the data processing unit 310 is sequentially 010. In this example, the voltage output unit 320 determines that the gamma voltage V186 is used to drive the pixel unit 422B. Blue sub-pixels. In addition, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the sequence of the most significant bit of the blue sub-pixel data captured by the data processing unit 310 is 011, 100 or 101, and the voltage output unit 320 also determines to use the gamma voltage V186. The blue sub-pixel of the pixel unit 422B is driven. In this embodiment, if the sequence of the most significant bit of the blue sub-pixel data is 000, 001, 110 or 111, the voltage output unit 320 drives the blue of the pixel unit 422B, for example, by the gamma voltage V0 or V255. The dice picture. Similarly, in the embodiment, if the target driver subpixel is the red subpixel of the pixel unit 422R, whether the voltage output unit 320 is driven by the gamma voltage V186 can also be determined by using the above determination method. Let me repeat. Further, in the present embodiment, the green sub-pixel is driven by, for example, a gamma voltage V0 or V255.

因此,在本實施例中,電壓輸出單元320可內建一真值表(look-up table),其中表列最高有效位元的序列和伽瑪電壓的對應關係。電壓輸出單元320可依據此真值表來決定在何種邊界關 係下需要輸出哪一個伽瑪電壓來驅動子畫素。 Therefore, in this embodiment, the voltage output unit 320 can have a built-in look-up table in which the correspondence between the sequence of the most significant bits and the gamma voltage is listed. The voltage output unit 320 can determine the boundary at which the boundary is based on the truth table. Which gamma voltage needs to be output to drive the sub-pixels.

In the present embodiment, the sub-pixel repetition unit 530 is, for example, a 3×4 pixel array formed by arranging a plurality of pixel units 522R, 522G, and 522B. In the present embodiment, in addition to the gamma voltages V0, V255, the voltage output unit 320 drives the sub-pixels on the display panel 520, for example, by using a gamma voltage V212 in the second display mode.

The second quantity ratio (vertical sub-pixel ratio) occupied in the direction is determined. For example, taking the red sub-pixel as an example, in the first column of the sub-pixel repetition unit 530, the pixel units 522R, 522B all include red sub-pixels, and in terms of the ratio, the two are in the X direction.

在本實施例中,顯示面板620的部分子畫素以一陣列方式排列形成圖13的子畫素重複單元630。子畫素重複單元630重複排列以形成顯示面板620的子畫素陣列。在本實施例中,子畫素重複單元630例如是由多個畫素單元622R、622B排列所形成的4×4的畫素陣列。在本實施例中,除了伽瑪電壓V0、V255以外,電壓輸出單元320在第二顯示模式中例如更利用一伽瑪電壓V186來驅動顯示面板620上的子畫素。在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186 例如是依據畫素單元622R、622B在子畫素重複單元630中,在X方向上佔有的第一數量比例(水平子畫素比例)和在Y方向上佔有的第二數量比例(垂直子畫素比例)來決定。舉例而言,以紅色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元630的第一列中,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元622R在X方向上的同一列中佔有的第一數量比例為1/2。也就是說,以畫素單元為基礎,在第一列的四個畫素單元622R、622B中,具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元622R在數量上佔了兩個,因此第一數量比例為1/2。在Y方向上每一列都包括畫素單元622R,因此,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元622R在Y方向上佔有的第二數量比例為1/1。也就是說,以畫素單元為基礎,在子畫素重複單元630中,每一列都包括具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元622R,因此第二數量比例為1/1。因此,依據紅色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/2)/(1/1)=1/2。類似地,依據藍色子畫素和綠色子畫素來決定的比例關係也都是1/2。在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據1/2的比例關係搭配預設的伽瑪電壓曲線來決定,並且用以驅動顯示面板620上紅色、綠色及藍色的子畫素。 In this embodiment, a portion of the sub-pixels of the display panel 620 are arranged in an array to form the sub-pixel repeating unit 630 of FIG. The sub-pixel repeating unit 630 is repeatedly arranged to form a sub-pixel array of the display panel 620. In the present embodiment, the sub-pixel repetition unit 630 is, for example, a 4×4 pixel array formed by arranging a plurality of pixel units 622R and 622B. In the present embodiment, in addition to the gamma voltages V0, V255, the voltage output unit 320 drives the sub-pixels on the display panel 620, for example, by a gamma voltage V186 in the second display mode.

For example, taking the red sub-pixel as an example, in the first column of the sub-pixel repetition unit 630, the first quantity ratio of the pixel unit 622R in the same column in the X direction is the ratio of the number. It is 1/2. That is to say, based on the pixel unit, in the four pixel units 622R, 622B of the first column, the pixel unit 622R having the red sub-pixels occupies two in number, so the first quantity ratio is 1/2. Each column in the Y direction includes a pixel unit 622R, and therefore, the second number ratio of the pixel unit 622R in the Y direction is 1/1 in terms of the number ratio. That is, on the basis of the pixel unit, in the sub-pixel repetition unit 630, each column includes the pixel unit 622R having the red sub-pixel, and thus the second number ratio is 1/1. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the red sub-pixel is (1/2) / (1/1) = 1/2. Similarly, the proportional relationship determined by the blue sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels is also 1/2. In the present embodiment, the gamma voltage V186 is determined, for example, according to a proportional relationship of 1/2 with a preset gamma voltage curve, and is used to drive sub-pixels of red, green, and blue on the display panel 620.

在伽瑪電壓V186的電壓值依據顯示面板620上子畫素的排列方式來決定之後,電壓輸出單元320會依據目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的多個子畫素之間的邊界關係來判斷是否利用所決定的伽瑪電壓V186來驅動目標驅動子畫素。在本實施例中,資料處理單元310例如依據寫入目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的子畫素的子畫素資料的最高有效位元來決定子畫素之間的邊界關係。在本 實施例中,資料處理單元310決定子畫素之間的邊界關係的方法可以由圖1至圖10實施例之敘述中獲致足夠的教示、建議與實施說明,因此不再贅述。 After the voltage value of the gamma voltage V186 is determined according to the arrangement of the sub-pixels on the display panel 620, the voltage output unit 320 determines the boundary relationship between the target driving sub-pixel and the plurality of sub-pixels adjacent thereto.

圖15繪示本發明另一實施例之部分畫素資料的概要示意圖。圖16繪示本發明另一實施例之顯示面板上部份子畫素的概要示意圖。圖17繪示本發明另一實施例之子畫素重複單元的概要示意圖。請參考圖15至圖17,本實施例之顯示面板720類似於圖8實施例之顯示面板520,惟兩者之間主要的差異例如在於顯示面板720上子畫素的排列方式,以及子畫素重複單元730的組成元素。 FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing partial pixel data according to another embodiment of the present invention. 16 is a schematic diagram showing a portion of a sub-pixel on a display panel according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a sub-pixel repeating unit according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the display panel 720 of this embodiment is similar to the display panel 520 of the embodiment of FIG. 8, but the main difference between the two is, for example, the arrangement of sub-pixels on the display panel 720, and the sub-pictures. The constituent elements of the repeating unit 730.

具體而言,在本實施例中,顯示面板720包括多個畫素單元722R、722G、722B,各畫素單元722R、722G、722B分別包括1個子畫素。舉例而言,在本實施例中,畫素單元722R例如包 括紅色子畫素,畫素單元722B例如包括藍色子畫素,畫素單元722G例如包括綠色子畫素。三種包括不同顏色子畫素的畫素單元722R、722G、722B在顯示面板720的不同方向上交錯排列,以形成子畫素陣列。在本實施例中,畫素資料P11例如是寫入畫素單元722R,因此,兩者在X方向上都具有一個畫素寬度WP。 Specifically, in the present embodiment, the display panel 720 includes a plurality of pixel units 722R, 722G, and 722B, and each of the pixel units 722R, 722G, and 722B includes one sub-pixel. For example, in the present embodiment, the pixel unit 722R is, for example, a package. Including the red sub-pixel, the pixel unit 722B includes, for example, a blue sub-pixel, and the pixel unit 722G includes, for example, a green sub-pixel. Three pixel units 722R, 722G, 722B including different color sub-pixels are staggered in different directions of the display panel 720 to form a sub-pixel array. In the present embodiment, the pixel material P11 is, for example, the write pixel unit 722R, and therefore both have a pixel width WP in the X direction.

在本實施例中,顯示面板720的部分子畫素以一陣列方式排列形成圖17的子畫素重複單元730。子畫素重複單元730重複排列以形成顯示面板720的子畫素陣列。在本實施例中,子畫素重複單元730例如是由多個畫素單元722R、722G、722B排列所形成的4×4的畫素陣列。在本實施例中,除了伽瑪電壓V0、V255以外,電壓輸出單元320在第二顯示模式中例如更利用一伽瑪電壓V186來驅動顯示面板720上的子畫素。在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據畫素單元722R、722G、722B在子畫素重複單元730中,在X方向上佔有的第一數量比例(水平子畫素比例)和在Y方向上佔有的第二數量比例(垂直子畫素比例)來決定。舉例而言,以紅色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元730的第一列中,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元722R在X方向上的同一列中佔有的第一數量比例為1/2。也就是說,以畫素單元為基礎,在第一列的四個畫素單元722R、722G、722B中,具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元722R在數量上佔了兩個,因此第一數量比例為1/2。在Y方向上每間隔一列都包括畫素單元722R,因此,從數量的比例來看,畫素單元722R在Y方向上佔有的第二數量比例為1/2。也就是說, 以畫素單元為基礎,在子畫素重複單元730中,每間隔一列包括具有紅色子畫素的畫素單元722R,因此第二數量比例為1/2。因此,依據紅色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/2)/(1/2)=1。類似地,依據藍色子畫素來決定的比例關係也是1。另外,在本實施例中,以綠色子畫素為例,在子畫素重複單元730中,畫素單元722G在X方向上的同一列中佔有的第一數量比例為1/2。在Y方向上每一列都包括畫素單元722G,因此,畫素單元722G在Y方向上佔有的第二數量比例為1/1。也就是說,以畫素單元為基礎,在子畫素重複單元730中,每一列都包括具有綠色子畫素的畫素單元722G,因此第二數量比例為1/1。因此,依據綠色子畫素來決定的比例關係為(1/2)/(1/1)=1/2。是以,在本實施例中,伽瑪電壓V186例如是依據1/2的比例關係搭配預設的伽瑪電壓曲線來決定,並且用以驅動顯示面板720上綠色的子畫素。另外,在本實施例中,紅色及藍色的子畫素例如是以伽瑪電壓V0或V255來驅動。 In this embodiment, a portion of the sub-pixels of the display panel 720 are arranged in an array to form the sub-pixel repeating unit 730 of FIG. The sub-pixel repeating unit 730 is repeatedly arranged to form a sub-pixel array of the display panel 720. In the present embodiment, the sub-pixel repetition unit 730 is, for example, a 4×4 pixel array formed by arranging a plurality of pixel units 722R, 722G, and 722B. In the present embodiment, in addition to the gamma voltages V0, V255, the voltage output unit 320 drives the sub-pixels on the display panel 720, for example, by a gamma voltage V186 in the second display mode. In the present embodiment, the gamma voltage V186 is, for example, the first number ratio (horizontal sub-pixel ratio) occupied in the X direction in the sub-pixel repetition unit 730 according to the pixel units 722R, 722G, 722B and in Y. The second quantity ratio (vertical sub-pixel ratio) occupied in the direction is determined. For example, taking the red sub-pixel as an example, in the first column of the sub-pixel repetition unit 730, the first quantity ratio of the pixel unit 722R in the same column in the X direction is the ratio of the number. It is 1/2. That is, on the basis of the pixel unit, in the four pixel units 722R, 722G, and 722B of the first column, the pixel unit 722R having the red sub-pixels occupies two in number, and thus the first number The ratio is 1/2. The pixel unit 722R is included every one column in the Y direction, and therefore, the second number ratio of the pixel unit 722R in the Y direction is 1/2 in terms of the number ratio. That is, Based on the pixel unit, in the sub-pixel repetition unit 730, the pixel unit 722R having the red sub-pixel is included every interval, so the second number ratio is 1/2. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the red sub-pixel is (1/2) / (1/2) = 1. Similarly, the proportional relationship determined by the blue sub-pixel is also 1. Further, in the present embodiment, taking the green sub-pixel as an example, in the sub-pixel repetition unit 730, the first number ratio of the pixel unit 722G occupying in the same column in the X direction is 1/2. Each column in the Y direction includes a pixel unit 722G, and therefore, the second number ratio of the pixel unit 722G in the Y direction is 1/1. That is to say, based on the pixel unit, in the sub-pixel repetition unit 730, each column includes a pixel unit 722G having a green sub-pixel, and thus the second number ratio is 1/1. Therefore, the proportional relationship determined according to the green sub-pixel is (1/2) / (1/1) = 1/2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gamma voltage V186 is determined, for example, according to a proportional relationship of 1/2 with a preset gamma voltage curve, and is used to drive a green sub-pixel on the display panel 720. Further, in the present embodiment, the red and blue sub-pixels are driven, for example, by gamma voltages V0 or V255.

在伽瑪電壓V186的電壓值依據顯示面板720上子畫素的排列方式來決定之後,電壓輸出單元320會依據目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的多個子畫素之間的邊界關係來判斷是否利用所決定的伽瑪電壓V186來驅動目標驅動子畫素。在本實施例中,資料處理單元310例如依據寫入目標驅動子畫素和與其相鄰的子畫素的子畫素資料的最高有效位元來決定子畫素之間的邊界關係。在本實施例中,資料處理單元310決定子畫素之間的邊界關係的方法可以由圖1至圖10實施例之敘述中獲致足夠的教示、建議與實施 說明,因此不再贅述。 After the voltage value of the gamma voltage V186 is determined according to the arrangement of the sub-pixels on the display panel 720, the voltage output unit 320 determines the boundary relationship between the target driving sub-pixel and the plurality of sub-pixels adjacent thereto.

In the present embodiment, the material processing unit 310 determines the boundary relationship between the sub-pixels, for example, according to the most significant bit of the sub-pixel data of the write target driving sub-pixel and the sub-pixel adjacent thereto. In the embodiment, the method for determining the boundary relationship between the sub-pixels by the data processing unit 310 can obtain sufficient teaching, suggestion and implementation from the description of the embodiment of FIG. 1 to FIG. Explain, so I won't go into details.
