Description

显示面板及其驱动方法、显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及显示领域,具体地,涉及一种显示面板及其驱动方 法和一种包括该显示面板的显示装置。
背景技术
触摸屏是目前最新的信息输入设备,它能简单、方便、自然地 实现人机交互,为人们提供一种全新的多媒体人机交互方式,由于其 具有触摸反应灵敏、支持多点触摸等优点,极大地满足了人们的视觉 和触觉的享受。
通常,触摸屏至少包括用于显示的显示屏和用于触控的触控屏。 目前,触摸屏按照组成结构可以分为:外挂式触控屏(Add on Mode  Touch Panel)、覆盖表面式触控屏(On Cell Touch Panel)以及内 嵌式触控屏(In Cell Touch Panel),即在显示屏的内部、表面或 外部做出感应电极Rx、驱动电极Tx。尽管触控屏具有各种不同的结 构,但均包括有感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx,并分别连接相应的感应 信号线和驱动信号线。在人体触摸触控屏的过程中,触控屏通过检测 感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx之间的电场变化来“感知”人体的触碰, 从而实现触控功能。
作为当今液晶显示领域的佼佼者,高级超维场转换(ADvanced  Super Dimension Switch,ADSDS,简称ADS)模式的液晶显示装置 凭借其宽广的视角、更高的对比率、更高的分辨率及更明亮的颜色呈 现,逐渐被消费者所追捧。在具有触控功能的ADS模式的液晶显示装 置中,通常采用电容互感式“感知”触控,因此通常将感应电极Rx 与驱动电极Tx设置为在正投影方向上至少部分重叠的交错式。但这 种结构在实现“感知”的同时,为了保证正常的触控电容变化率,要 求感应电极Rx和驱动电极Tx之间不能有太大的正对面积,以保证二 者之间的节点电容满足触控要求。但是,目前通常采用的感应电极 Rx和驱动电极Tx的排列方式,容易导致感应电极Rx与驱动电极Tx 之间的耦合电容过大,影响触控的灵敏度。而且,感应电极Rx通常 沿黑矩阵的纵向长条(就目前的彩膜基板而言,纵向长条的宽度小于 横向长条的宽度)设置。由于黑矩阵中的较窄的纵向长条无法完全遮 挡感应电极Rx的图形,导致在正常显示情况下出现感应电极Rx对图 像显示造成阻碍,影响显示效果。

本发明的另一个方面提供了一种显示装置,包括显示面板,其 中,所述显示面板采用上述的显示面板。
本发明的又一个方面提供了一种显示面板的驱动方法,该显示 面板包括阵列基板和彩膜基板,其中,所述阵列基板中设置有第一电 极和第二电极,所述彩膜基板中设置有第三电极,所述第一电极和所 述第二电极设于同一层,所述第一电极和所述第二电极交替间隔平行 设置且彼此电性隔离,所述第二电极与所述第三电极在空间上对应设 置,所述驱动方法包括将所述第一电极分时复用为显示时用的部分公 共电极和触控时用的驱动电极。
在本发明的一个实施例中,一种显示面板具有内嵌式触控屏, 可用于ADS模式的液晶显示装置。
如图1和图2所示,该显示面板包括阵列基板1和彩膜基板2。 其中,阵列基板1包括第一基板11以及设置于第一基板11上方的第 一电极13和第二电极14。彩膜基板2包括第二基板21以及设置于 第二基板21上方的第三电极24。第一电极13和第二电极14设于同 一层。第一电极13和第二电极14交替间隔平行设置且彼此电性隔离。 第二电极14与第三电极24在空间上对应设置。这里的“在空间上对 应设置”是指包含于阵列基板1中的第二电极14与包含于彩膜基板 2中的第三电极24彼此相对地设置。在本实施例中,第一电极13可 以分时复用,具体地,第一电极13可以用作显示时为阵列基板提供 公共电压的部分公共电极Vcom,以及触控时的驱动电极Tx。第二电 极14可以用作显示时为阵列基板提供公共电压的部分公共电极 Vcom。第三电极24可以用作触控时的感应电极Rx。
如图2所示,第一电极13包括排列成多行和多列的多个子电极。 处于同一列的多个子电极彼此电连接,处于不同列的多个子电极彼此 电性隔离。各第二电极14的延伸方向与第一电极13的子电极的行排 列方向相同。多个第二电极14彼此电连接。在本实施例中,第一电 极13的子电极的行排列方向即指子电极具有连续分布所沿的方向。 在图2中,第一电极13的子电极的行排列方向即指子电极沿着在相 邻的第二电极14之间形成的间隙区排列的方向。具体地,如图2所 示,处于同一列的多个子电极通过第一电极连接线131彼此电连接, 第一电极连接线131的延伸方向与第一电极13的子电极的行排列方 向垂直(图2还示出了第一电极连接线131两端的部分在显示区边沿 处的布线方向,该方向平行于子电极的行排列方向)。
在本实施例中,如图1所示,彩膜基板2还包括黑矩阵22和彩 膜层23。黑矩阵22为由宽度不等的长条(包括纵向长条和横向长条) 交叉形成的网格结构,横向长条的宽度大于纵向长条的宽度。第三电 极24设置于黑矩阵22的横向长条上的远离彩膜基板的一侧上。多个 第三电极24彼此电连接。如图2和图5所示,第三电极24通过第三 电极连接线241(图2还示出了第三电极连接线241两端的部分在显 示区边沿处的布线方向)彼此电连接。由于此时第三电极24设置在 黑矩阵22中的较宽的横向长条上,因此黑矩阵22能使得第三电极 24完全落在其正投影方向内,即,黑矩阵22能完全遮挡感应电极Rx 的图形。因此,能减少甚至消除因感应电极遮挡到正常显示区域而可 能造成的对显示画面的阻碍的不良情况。
另外,在本实施例的显示面板中,如图1所示,彩膜基板2和 阵列基板1之间设置有液晶层3,液晶层3包括多个液晶分子31。
如图5所示,阵列基板1包括多条数据线18,第一电极连接线 131与数据线18交替间隔设置、且数据线18的延伸方向与第一电极 连接线131的延伸方向相同。为了简化工艺,在阵列基板的制备过程 中,第一电极连接线131与数据线18同层设置,第一电极连接线131 与数据线18采用相同的材料、在同一构图工艺中形成。例如,第一 电极连接线131和数据线18可以均采用钼、铝等金属形成。
如图5所示,阵列基板1中还设置有栅线17,栅线17与第一电 极连接线131和数据线18交叉设置,从而将阵列基板1划分为多个 子像素区域。每个子像素区域内设置有薄膜晶体管12(薄膜晶体管 为阵列基板1的一部分,在图1中未具体示出)。分别位于同一数据 线18两侧并且位于相邻行的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12对角设置 (例如,一条数据线18的左侧的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12均设 置在其所在的子像素区域的右下角,而同一条数据线18的右侧的子 像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12均设置在其所在的子像素区域的左上 角),且该对角设置的薄膜晶体管12的源极与同一数据线18电连接。 同时,为了实现逐行扫描显示,分别位于同一数据线18两侧并且位 于相邻行的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12(即,该对角设置的薄膜 晶体管12)的栅极与不同的栅线17电连接。
也即,在本实施例中,阵列基板为双栅型(Dual Gate)结构。 与现有技术中采用的单栅型结构中处于不同列的子像素区域中的薄 膜晶体管的源极均需分别各连接一根数据线相比,本实施例的双栅型 结构中只需在相邻的两列子像素区域之间设置一根数据线,并将该数 据线分别与位于其两侧的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管的源极电连接 即可。因此可以将未连接薄膜晶体管的数据线作为电极连接线(即本 实施例中的第一电极连接线131,可视为冗余的数据线结构)使用。 而且,由于电极连接线与数据线同层设置,并且电极连接线与数据线 可以采用相同的材料、在同一构图工艺中形成,因此不用额外增加工 艺步骤即可制备完成该结构的阵列基板。
同时,这里应该理解的是,本实施例中所述的行和列相互正交 设置,横向长条和纵向长条相互正交设置,并且行与横向长条平行设 置,列与纵向长条平行设置。在实际应用中,行和列、横向长条和纵 向长条的具体方向不做限定,只要保证行和列正交设置、横向长条和 纵向长条正交设置即可。
在本实施例中,参考图5,阵列基板的每个子像素区域内还设置 有像素电极16(像素电极为阵列基板1的一部分,在图1中未具体 示出)。像素电极16与该子像素区域内的薄膜晶体管12的漏极电连 接。第一电极13和第二电极14设置于像素电极16的上方,且第二 电极14与像素电极16在正投影方向上至少部分重叠。在本实施例中, 像素电极16为狭缝状(因此也被称为“狭缝电极”)。在本实施例 中,作为公共电极Vcom的一条第二电极14可以穿越多个子像素区域。 而且,第二电极14为一部分公共电极,第一电极13在显示时间段作 为另一部分公共电极,该两部分公共电极共同形成一个接近板状的电 极层。在本实施例中,公共电极与像素电极一起将电场提供给夹在阵 列基板1与彩膜基板2之间的液晶层3;并根据施加到各子像素区域 中的像素电极上的电位来驱动液晶分子31,从而实现图像显示。由 于公共电极与像素电极16均设置在阵列基板1中,因此,可以通过 狭缝电极边缘所产生的电场以及狭缝电极层与板状电极层间产生的 电场形成多维电场。
容易理解的是,在薄膜晶体管中由于含有作为控制端的栅极以 及作为输入/输出端的源/漏极,因此,为保证各端口的正常工作,栅 极与源/漏极之间可以设置有栅绝缘层,并且薄膜晶体管与像素电极 之间可以设置有钝化层或平坦层。相应地,在本实施例中,第一电极 连接线131与第一电极13和第二电极14之间设置有绝缘层(图4 和图5中未示出)。绝缘层的与第一电极13对应的区域中开设有绝 缘层过孔15(Via Hole)。在与第一电极13对应的区域中将第一电 极连接线131设置为具有至少两条并联连接的支线,该支线与第一电 极13通过绝缘层过孔15电连接。在与第二电极14对应的区域中将 第一电极连接线131设置为仅具有一条支线,该支线与第二电极14 通过绝缘层电性隔离。如图4所示,在与第一电极13(驱动电极Tx) 对应的区域中,使用全区域的导通方式或者多根支线的连接方式(例 如,在图4中示出为3根支线)来设置第一电极连接线131,使得驱 动电极Tx内部本身的阻值降低;而在与第二电极14(公共电极Vcom) 对应的区域中,第一电极连接线131被设置为仅利用一根或很少根支 线进行电连接,以减小驱动电极Tx的对地电容。另外,在图4中, 每一支线与驱动电极Tx电连接时仅通过一个绝缘层过孔15;当然, 也可以如图5所示,每一支线与驱动电极Tx电连接时通过两个绝缘 层过孔15,甚至通过更多的绝缘层过孔。
这里应该理解的是,第一电极13和第二电极14与第一电极连 接线131之间的绝缘层能起到电隔离的作用,且一般采用透明材料形 成,例如采用硅氧化物、硅氮化物、铪氧化物、硅氮氧化物或铝氧化 物等形成。由于这些层的结构与形成工艺与现有技术相同,因此这里 不再赘述。同时,由于这些绝缘层一般采用透明材料形成,对图4 和图5中的平面图的观察不会造成阻碍,因此在图4和图5的平面示 意图中略去绝缘层。
如图3所示,在图2中的区域A的局部放大示意图中,第一电 极13(驱动电极Tx)与第三电极24(感应电极Rx)之间的水平间距 GAP的宽度直接影响触控电容变化率。优选的是,相邻的第一电极13 与第三电极24之间的水平间距GAP为一个子像素区域在与第一电极 13的行排列方向垂直的方向上的宽度(即,一个子像素区域在列排 列方向上的宽度)。在实际应用中,在保证触控电容变化率的同时, 可以适当地调整GAP的宽度,以便得到满足要求的变化率。同时,由 于驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx之间并不具有正对的面积,因此能最大 限度降低驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx之间的耦合电容,提高触控灵敏 度。
根据本发明实施例的显示面板的驱动方法,基于上述显示面板 的结构,即该显示面板包括阵列基板和彩膜基板,阵列基板中设置有 第一电极和第二电极,彩膜基板中设置有第三电极,第一电极和第二 电极设于同一层,第一电极和第二电极交替间隔平行设置且彼此电性 隔离,第二电极与第三电极在空间上对应设置。该驱动方法包括将第 一电极分时复用为显示时用的部分公共电极和触控时用的驱动电极。
同样,基于上述显示面板的结构,第一电极包括排列成多行和 多列的多个子电极。处于同一列的多个子电极通过第一电极连接线彼 此电连接,处于不同列的多个子电极彼此电性隔离。多个第二电极彼 此电连接,多个第三电极通过第三电极连接线彼此电连接。该驱动方 法包括的上述分时复用的步骤进一步包括:在第一阶段,为第一电极 和第二电极提供公共参考电压;在第二阶段,为第一电极提供触控驱 动信号,为第三电极提供触控感应信号。
基于上述显示面板的结构,阵列基板包括多条数据线,第一电 极连接线与数据线交替间隔设置;阵列基板中还设置有栅线,栅线与 第一电极连接线和数据线交叉设置,从而将阵列基板划分为多个子像 素区域;子像素区域内设置有薄膜晶体管;分别位于同一数据线两侧 并位于相邻行的子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管对角设置。上述在第一阶 段为第一电极和第二电极提供公共参考电压的步骤进一步包括:在第 一阶段,通过同一数据线向相邻列的薄膜晶体管的源极输出数据信 号,并且通过不同的栅线向相邻行的薄膜晶体管的栅极输出扫描信 号;以及上述在第二阶段为第一电极提供触控驱动信号,为第三电极 提供触控感应信号的步骤进一步包括:在第二阶段,通过第一电极连 接线向一列第一电极输出驱动信号,并且通过第三电极连接线第三电 极输出感应信号。
在上述的驱动方法中,第一阶段的时间长度(第一时间段)大 于等于第二阶段的时间长度(第二时间段),第一时间段与第二时间 段之和等于帧周期。
与现有技术中ADS模式液晶显示装置中公共电极为板状结构相 比,在本实施例中,公共电极为由交替设置的第一电极和第二电极共 同构成的类似板状的栅网结构,并且各个第二电极之间的用于触控的 第一电极(驱动电极Tx)被分割成多个子电极。该驱动电极Tx与彩 膜基板的面向阵列基板的一侧上的第三电极(感应电极Rx)用于实 现触控。即,将现有技术中作为板状整体的公共电极设计为由相互间 隔开的多个方块图形排列而成的图形,其中,一部分方块(小方块) 电极通过纵向的位于现有技术中的数据线位置处的第一电极连接线 进行连接,以用作触控时的驱动电极Tx,该驱动电极Tx与设置于彩 膜基板上的感应电极Rx共同实现触控功能;另外,处于相邻行的驱 动电极Tx之间的另一部分方块(大方块)电极用作显示时的公共电 极Vcom,并在触控时间段内维持一定的电压值,以保证触控的灵敏 度。其中,公共电极Vcom与感应电极Rx的延伸方向一致,且在空间 位置上对应设置,以便能最大限度的降低驱动电极Tx与感应电极Rx 之间的耦合电容。
简言之,在本实施例的显示面板中,感应电极Rx横向排布,驱 动电极Tx纵向排布,并将感应电极Rx设置于黑矩阵(BM)中的宽度 较大的横向长条的区域内;利用双栅型(Dual Gate)结构采用间隔 设置的第一电极连接线(冗余数据线)连接相邻两列子像素区域中的 薄膜晶体管;以及将驱动电极Tx的驱动信号通过第一电极连接线直 接输入。通过这种方式,不仅保证显示时用的公共电极信号与触控时 用的驱动信号的输入的同步性,而且也大大降低了驱动电极Tx的阻 值。在保证正常的触控功能和显示功能的条件下,可有效减少显示时 感应电极Rx可能造成的对显示画面的阻碍的不良情况。
在制造本实施例的显示面板时,只需在原用于形成公共电极的 金属膜层的基础上,在构图工艺中采用掩模板将该金属膜层做矩形分 割处理,并应用冗余数据线实现驱动电极之间的连接这样,既保证了 用作显示时用的公共电极与用作触控时用的驱动电极彼此电性隔离 (即能够同时满足触控功能和显示功能的要求),又不需要增加额外 的工艺制程。因此,本实施例的显示面板不仅具有简化的制造工艺, 而且容易保证良品率。
在本发明的一个实施例中,一种显示装置包括根据本发明的显 示面板。本实施例以ADS模式的液晶显示装置为例进行详细说明。
其中,该显示装置可以为:液晶面板、电子纸、手机、平板电 脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显 示功能的产品或部件。
在该ADS模式的液晶显示装置中,通过狭缝电极边缘所产生的 电场以及狭缝电极层与板状电极层间产生的电场形成多维电场,使液 晶层内狭缝电极间、电极正上方所有取向的液晶分子都能够产生旋 转,从而提高了液晶工作效率并增大了透光效率。高级超维场开关技 术可以提高TFT-LCD产品的画面品质,具有高分辨率、高透过率、低 功耗、宽视角、高开口率、低色差、无挤压水波纹(push Mura)等 优点。
如图6所示,在该显示装置中还包括栅极驱动器41、源极驱动 器42和触控控制器45。栅极驱动器41与多条栅线17电连接。栅极 驱动器41产生扫描信号电压,通过栅线17传送至与栅线17电连接 的薄膜晶体管12的栅极,以向薄膜晶体管12提供扫描信号,从而选 通与该栅线17连接的薄膜晶体管12的子像素区域。源极驱动器42 与数据线18电连接。源极驱动器42产生数据信号电压,通过数据线 18传送至与该数据线18电连接的两列子像素区域中的薄膜晶体管12 的源极,以获得显示画面数据信号。触控控制器45和第一电极连接 线131电连接。触控控制器45产生触控驱动信号,通过第一电极连 接线131传送至与该第一电极连接线131电连接的第一电极13。
在本实施例中,显示装置还包括电压转换器43,电压转换器43 被布置为连接在源极驱动器42与数据线18之间,以及连接在触控控 制器45与第一电极连接线131之间。因此,源极驱动器42发出的数 据信号经由电压转换器43和数据线18输入到薄膜晶体管12的源极; 触控控制器45经由电压转换器43和第一电极连接线131获取感应信 号和发送驱动信号。
这里应该理解的是,本实施例中触控控制器45同时集成了触控 感应和触控驱动的功能。但是,本实施例并不限定触控控制器45必 须为集成式。为降低芯片成本,本实施例中的触控控制器45也可以 分别由具有接收触控感应的功能的芯片和具有发送触控驱动的功能 的芯片来组合实现。
为了便于控制第一电极13在不同的时间段分别起到触控作用和 显示作用,优选地,如图6所示,显示装置还包括发射器44,发射 器44与电压转换器43电连接,用于向电压转换器43发出控制信号, 以控制电压转换器43在不同的时间段提供不同的信号。
例如,为保证显示装置的正常显示,将显示装置用于显示一帧 画面的帧周期的时间分成两个时间段。如图7所示,第一时间段为显 示时间段,第二时间段为触控时间段。其中,第一时间段大于等于第 二时间段,第一时间段与第二时间段之和等于帧周期。电压转换器 43在触控时间段为第一电极13提供触控信号,并且在显示时间段分 别为第一电极13和第二电极14提供公共电压信号。
具体地,电压转换器43可以在第一时间段内将来自显示驱动芯 片(图6中未示出)的公共电压信号提供至第一电极13和第二电极 14,以进行画面显示;而在第二时间段内,电压转换器43可以接收 由第一电极13(此时第一电极13为驱动电极Tx)和第三电极24(此 时第三电极24为感应电极Rx)因受人体触碰而获得的与参考电压值 不同的电压,并基于发射器44计算得到的触摸位置坐标来进行触摸 控制。也就是说,在显示装置工作过程中,在第一时间段内,第一电 极13和第二电极14作为公共电极与像素电极16产生电场,驱动液 晶分子31发生偏转,以进行画面显示;当人体在显示面板上发生触 碰时,由于第一电极13与第三电极24之间形成的电场发生变化,因 此在第二时间段内感应到触碰的发生,并实现触摸控制。
在本实施例的显示装置的驱动过程中,在第一时间段内,第一 电极13和第二电极14用作显示时的公共电极。当栅线17向薄膜晶 体管12提供扫描信号时,阵列基板1中不同行的薄膜晶体管依次逐 行导通;同时,电压转换器43在接收到发射器44发出的控制信号的 情况下,接收来自显示驱动芯片的公共电压信号和来自源极驱动器的 数据信号,并通过数据线18向薄膜晶体管12的源极提供数据信号电 压(或者说灰阶信号),通过第一电极连接线131和公共电极线分别 向第一电极13和第二电极14提供公共参考电压。从图7中可见,该 时间段(显示阶段)上的直流电压值较小(3V左右);同时与薄膜 晶体管12的漏极连接的像素电极16得电,与第一电极13和第二电 极14(第二电极14与像素电极在正投影方向上至少部分重叠)共同 作用形成电场,作用在液晶层3上,驱动阵列基板1与彩膜基板2 之间的液晶分子31,以使得液晶分子31的偏转方向发生改变,实现 画面显示。
在第二时间段内,阵列基板1中的第一电极13用作触控时的驱 动电极Tx。从图7中可见,在该时间段(触控阶段)上,第一电极 信号的直流电压值较大(7V-8V)。彩膜基板2中的第三电极24用作 触控时的感应电极Rx(图7中的第三电极信号的波形图中的“1,2… n-1,n”代表对第三电极的n次逐行扫描)。第一电极13和第三电极 24在空间上交错相对(没有直接的正对面积),并且形成一对互感 式的电容极板。相应地,与第一电极13电连接的第一电极连接线131 为驱动信号线,与第三电极24电连接的第三电极连接线241为感应 信号线。感应电极Rx通过感应信号线经由电压转换器43连接到触控 控制器45,驱动电极Tx通过驱动信号线经由电压转换器43连接到 触控控制器45。电压转换器43在接收到发射器44发出的控制信号 的情况下,通过驱动信号线对作为驱动电极的第一电极13加载触控 驱动信号,并检测感应信号线返回的基于第一电极13与第三电极24 之间的感应电容(此时第一电极13和第三电极24分别为感应电容的 两个极板)而得到的电压信号。在此过程中,有人体接触触控屏时, 人体电场就会作用在感应电容上,使感应电容的电容值发生变化,进 一步使得得到的电压信号的电压值发生变化,从而改变触控感应信号 线返回电压转换器43的电压信号。根据电压信号的变化,就可以确 定触点位置,实现触摸控制。
这里应该理解的是,在第一时间段中,第三电极24上施加有很 微弱的电压(300mV);在第二时间段中,第二电极14上的电压保持 为第一时间段中的电压值。如此设置,减小了基准电压的变化幅度。 由于触控时间段相对显示时间段较短,因此利用液晶分子偏转的惯 性,使得在一帧画面时间内因从显示时间段到触控时间段的切换对显 示造成的影响较小。
在本实施例所提供的显示装置中,可以通过发射器44和电压转 换器43共同作用以实现上述显示和触控过程。
这里应该理解的是,当人体手指触摸到不同像素区域的第一电 极或第三电极时,由于通常人体手指与显示面板具有一定的接触面 积,使得触摸具有连续性(即一般是不小于感应精度的人体触碰)。 如前所述,第一电极或第三电极分别充当驱动电极或感应电极的角 色。由于显示装置具有的多个按一定规则排列的像素区域保证了感应 电极和驱动电极的正投影能够以连续的方式交替间隔设置,因此,即 使人体触摸面积隶属于不同的像素区域,也不会影响触控的效果。
对于第一时间段与第二时间段的设置,可以根据具体的显示装 置应用环境以及对响应精度、触控精度等条件来确定。例如,以频率 为60Hz为例,显示装置显示一帧的帧周期时间为16.7ms,则可以选 取其中12.7ms作为显示时间段,其他的4ms作为触控时间段。当然 也可以根据显示装置中控制用的IC芯片的处理能力适当的调整两者 的时长,在此不做具体限定。
该显示装置具有良好的图像显示效果,以及较高的触控灵敏度。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本发明的原理而 采用的示例性实施方式,然而本发明并不局限于此。对于本领域内的 普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本发明的精神和实质的情况下,可以做 出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本发明的保护范围。
