Description

一种显示面板及其像素结构和驱动方法
本申请要求享有2014年9月18日提交的名称为“一种显示面板及其像素结构和驱动方法”的中国专利申请为CN201410478330.1的优先权,其全部内容通过引用并入本文中。
技术领域
本发明涉及图像显示技术,特别是关于一种兼具二维和三维显示的显示面板及其像素结构和驱动方法。
背景技术
随着显示技术的不断发展,三维立体显示技术已经成为当下最引人注目的技术发展方向之一。薄膜交错相位差带式(Film Patterned Retarder,简称FPR)是目前三维显示的主流技术之一。该技术将偏振薄膜贴附于液晶显示面板上,通过其与偏振眼镜的配合将三维画面分离为左眼图像和右眼图像,然后将图像分别传送至观看者的左眼和右眼,以实现三维立体显示。但是这种技术存在一定的缺陷。即,当观看者处于较大视角时,会出现左右眼影像互相串扰(Cross-talk)的现象。这种现象会导致观察者观看到的图像模糊不清。
此外,采用垂直取向显示模式(Vertical Alignment,简称VA模式)的大尺寸液晶显示面板还存在大视角色偏(Color-shift)的技术问题。对此,当前液晶显示面板生产厂家一般采用电荷分享技术(Charge-shared),将像素结构中每个子像素的像素电极划分为主区(Main)和分区(Sub)两个部分,在同一灰阶电压的驱动下,对主区和分区施加不同的电压,控制主区和分区对应的液晶分子按照不同的偏转角度进行偏转,以实现低色偏效果。
为了避免三维显示出现串扰现象,液晶显示面板生产厂家在设计三维FPR像素结构时,会适当地增大上下行相邻像素间的遮光距离,但这会影响二维显示条件下的穿透率。同时,液晶显示面板在三维显示条件下无法实现上述低色偏效果。因此,如何使液晶显示面板在兼具二维和三维显示功能的同时还具备低色偏显示效果,是当前业内技术人员致力解决的技术问题。

附图说明
附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解,并且构成说明书的一部分,与本发明的实施例共同用于解释本发明,并不构成对本发明的限制。在附图中:
图1是本发明实施例一的显示面板的结构示意图;
图2是本发明实施例一的子像素的像素电极的结构示意图;
图3是图2所示的子像素的等效电路图;
图4是图2所示的子像素的像素电极在三维显示模式下的工作状态示意图。
具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,以下结合具体实施例和附图对本发明作进一步地详细说明。
图1是根据本发明实施例一绘制的显示面板的结构示意图。该显示面板包括影像显示区100、扫描驱动电路200和数据驱动电路300。影像显示区100包括由多条扫描线GL1~GLM和多条数据线DL1~DLN交错配置形成的阵列,以及作为阵列元素的多个像素结构110。其中,扫描驱动电路200通过与其耦接的多条扫描线GL1~GLM将所提供的扫描信号传给影像显示区100中的像素结构110。数据驱动电路200通过与其耦接的多条数据线DL1~DLN将所提供的数据信号传给影像显示区100中的像素结构110。
一般而言,彩色显示面板的一个像素结构110包含有红色子像素、绿色子像素和蓝色子像素。在本实施例中,所有子像素都采用一种1D2G结构。即,对于一个子像素,由纵向的数据线与横向的第一扫描线和第二扫描线一起共同界定子像素区,也即共同界定子像素的像素电极区域。
图2是根据本发明实施例一绘制的子像素的像素电极的结构示意图。该像素电极划分为主区Main、第一分区Sub1和第二分区Sub2三个部分。其中,每一个部分均以优选的方式分成四个畴区(domain):
主区Main,配置以接收第一扫描线的扫描信号Gn,在扫描信号Gn的作用下接收数据线上的数据信号Data而具有主区电压V_Main;
第一分区Sub1,电性连接主区Main,配置以接收第一扫描线的扫描信号Gn,在扫描信号Gn的作用下接收主区电压V_Main而具有第一分区电压V_Sub1;
第二分区Sub2,配置以接收第二扫描线的扫描信号Gn+1,在扫描信号Gn+1的作用下接收数据线上的数据信号Data而具有第二分区电压V_Sub2;
其中,主区电压V_Main、第一分区电压V_Sub1与第二分区电压V_Sub2应当互不相同,以使液晶显示面板在二维显示模式下,能够实现低色偏效果;此外,当液晶显示面板工作在三维显示模式下时,第二分区Sub2关闭显示功能而作为遮光区使用,同时由于主区电压V_Main与第一分区电压V_Sub1互不相同,因 此也可以实现低色偏效果。
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,第一扫描线Gn与第二扫描线Gn+1互为相邻的两根扫描线,但是实际应用时可以不限于此。
图3是图2所示的子像素的等效电路图。
对于主区Main而言,主区充电开关TFT_A的第一极和第二极电性连接在数据线和主区Main之间,充电开关TFT_A的控制端电性连接第一扫描线,以接收扫描信号Gn。同时,主区Main还电性连接存储电容Cst_Main和液晶电容Clc_Main。在扫描信号Gn的作用下,充电开关TFT_A开启,数据线上的数据信号Data经由开关元件TFT_A传送至存储电容Cst_Main和液晶电容Clc_Main,存储电容Cst_Main和液晶电容Clc_Main则根据数据信号Data充电而存储相应的电位。基于此,主区Main具有相应的主区电压V_Main,使得与主区Main对应的液晶发生相应的偏转,从而显示相应的影像数据。
在具体实施时,主区存储电容Cst_Main可以由主区Main与所在的阵列基板的共同电极A_com构成;主区液晶电容Clc_Main可以由主区Main与彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com构成。
对于第一分区Sub1而言,第一分区充电开关TFT_B的第一极和第二极电性连接在主区Main和第一分区Sub1之间,充电开关TFT_B的控制端电性连接第一扫描线,以接收扫描信号Gn。同时,第一分区Sub1还电性连接存储电容Cst_Sub1和液晶电容Clc_Sub1,存储电容Cst_Sub1或液晶电容Clc_Sub1的两端电性连接放电开关TFT_C的第一极和第二极,放电开关TFT_C的控制端电性连接第一扫描线,以接收扫描信号Gn。在扫描信号Gn的作用下,充电开关TFT_B开启,主区电压V_Main经由开关元件TFT_B传送至存储电容Cst_Sub1和液晶电容Clc_Sub1,存储电容Cst_Sub1和液晶电容Clc_Sub1则根据主区电压V_Main充电而存储相应的电位。同时,由于充电开关TFT_C也开启,因此存储电容Cst_Sub1和液晶电容Clc_Sub1上的电位会经由开关元件TFT_C漏电而下降。基于此,第一分区Sub1具有与主区电压V_Main不同的第一分区电压V_Sub1,使得与第一分区Sub1对应的液晶发生相应的偏转,从而显示相应的影像数据。
在具体实施时,第一分区存储电容Cst_Sub1可以由第一分区Sub1与所在的阵列基板的共同电极A_com构成;第一分区液晶电容Clc_Sub1可以由第一分区Sub1与彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com构成。
对于第二分区Sub2而言,第二分区充电开关TFT_D的第一极和第二极电性连接在数据线和第二分区Sub2之间,充电开关TFT_D的控制端电性连接第一扫描线,以接收扫描信号Gn+1。同时,第二分区Sub2还电性连接存储电容Cst_Sub2和液晶电容Clc_Sub2,存储电容Cst_Sub2或液晶电容Clc_Sub2的两端电性连接放电开关TFT_E的第一极和第二极,放电开关TFT_E的控制端电性连接第一扫描线,以接收扫描信号Gn+1。在扫描信号Gn+1的作用下,充电开关TFT_D开启,数据线上的数据信号Data经由开关元件TFT_D传送至存储电容Cst_Sub2和液晶电容Clc_Sub2,存储电容Cst_Sub2和液晶电容Clc_Sub2则根据数据信号Data充电而存储相应的电位。同时,由于充电开关TFT_E也开启,因此存储电容Cst_Sub2和液晶电容Clc_Sub2上的电位会经由开关元件TFT_E漏电而下降。基于此,第二分区Sub2具有与主区电压V_Main不同的第二分区电压V_Sub2,使得与第二分区Sub2对应的液晶发生相应的偏转,从而显示相应的影像数据。
在具体实施时,第二分区存储电容Cst_Sub2可以由第二分区Sub2与所在的阵列基板的共同电极A_com构成;第二分区液晶电容Clc_Sub2可以由第二分区Sub2与彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com构成。
需要注意的是,上述或下列子像素的像素电极的电位V_Main、V_Sub1和V_Sub2均可以指像素电极本身的电位,也可以指像素电极相对于阵列基板的共同电极A_com或者相对于彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com的电压差,此为本领域的公知常识。因此,本发明中像素电极的电位含义不限于本发明实施例中的定义。
上述各充电开关和放电开关优选薄膜晶体管制作而成,其第一极和第二极通常为漏极和源极,控制端为栅极。
下面具体说明在二维显示模式下和三维显示模式下,像素电极各区电路的工作情况以及像素电极各区电压的变化情况。
在二维显示模式下的正极性反转期间内,数据信号的电压高于共同电极(在本实施例中,指代彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com和/或阵列基板的共同电极A_com)的电压。
1)当第一扫描线上的扫描信号Gn为高电平,第二扫描线上的扫描信号Gn+1为低电平时:
主区的充电开关TFT_A开启,使得数据线上的数据信号Data经由充电开关 TFT_A传送至主区的液晶电容Clc_Main和存储电容Cst_Main,主区的液晶电容Clc_Main和存储电容Cst_Main根据数据信号Data充电而存储相应的电压,也即主区电压V_Main;
第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C开启,使得主区电压V_Main经由充电开关TFT_B传送至第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Subl和存储电容Cst_Sub1,第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub1和存储电容Cst_Sub1根据主区电压V_Main充电而存储相应的电压;同时由于放电开关TFT_C的开启,第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub1和存储电容Cst_Sub1的电位会经由放电开关TFT_C漏电而下降至与主区电压V_Main不同的第一分区电压V_Sub1;
第二分区的充电开关TFT_D和放电开关TFT_E关闭,第二分区电压V_Sub2为零。
2)当第一扫描线上的扫描信号Gn为低电平,第二扫描线上的扫描信号Gn+1为高电平时:
主区的充电开关TFT_A关闭,第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C关闭,主区电压V_Main和第一分区电压V_Sub1不变;
第二分区的充电开关TFT_D和放电开关TFT_E开启,使得数据线上的数据信号Data经由充电开关TFT_D传送至第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2,第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2根据数据信号Data充电而存储相应的电压;同时由于放电开关TFT_E的开启,第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2的电位会经由放电开关TFT_E漏电而下降至与主区电压V_Main不同的第二分区电压V_Sub2。
在二维显示模式下的负极性反转期间内,数据信号的电压低于共同电极(在本实施例中,指代彩色滤波片基板的共同电极CF_com和/或阵列基板的共同电极A_com)的电压。
1)当第一扫描线上的扫描信号Gn为高电平,第二扫描线上的扫描信号Gn+1为低电平时:
主区的充电开关TFT_A开启,使得数据线上的数据信号Data经由充电开关TFT_A传送至主区的液晶电容Clc_Main和存储电容Cst_Main,主区的液晶电容Clc_Main和存储电容Cst_Main根据数据信号Data放电而存储相应的电压,也即主区电压V_Main;
第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C开启,使得主区电压V_Main经由充电开关TFT_B传送至第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub1和存储电容Cst_Sub1,第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub1和存储电容Cst_Sub1根据主区电压V_Main放电而存储相应的电压;同时由于放电开关TFT_C的开启,第一分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub1和存储电容Cst_Sub1的电位会经由放电开关TFT_C漏电而上升至与主区电压V_Main不同的第一分区电压V_Sub1;
第二分区的充电开关TFT_D和放电开关TFT_E关闭,第二分区电压V_Sub2为零。
2)当第一扫描线上的扫描信号Gn为低电平,第二扫描线上的扫描信号Gn+1为高电平时:
主区的充电开关TFT_A关闭,第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C关闭,主区电压V_Main和第一分区电压V_Sub1不变;
第二分区的充电开关TFT_D和放电开关TFT_E开启,使得数据线上的数据信号Data经由充电开关TFT_D传送至第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2,第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2根据数据信号Data放电而存储相应的电压;同时由于放电开关TFT_E的开启,第二分区的液晶电容Clc_Sub2和存储电容Cst_Sub2的电位会经由放电开关TFT_E漏电而上升至与主区电压V_Main不同的第二分区电压V_Sub2。
在上述实施例中,主区Main与第一分区Sub1之间实质是通过主区充电开关TFT_A、第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C串联连接。因此,对于表征数据信号Data的电压V_Data而言,主区电压V_Main=V_Data×(RA+RB)/(RA+RB+RC),第一分区电压V_Sub1=V_Data×RC/(RA+RB+RC)。其中,RA、RB和RC分别是主区充电开关TFT_A、第一分区的充电开关TFT_B和放电开关TFT_C的等效电阻。而第二分区则通过第二分区充电开关TFT_D和放电开关TFT_E的控制,获得与主区电压V_Main和第一分区电压V_Sub1均不同的第二分区电压V_sub2。如此一来,无论在正极性反转期间或是在负极性反转期间,像素电极的主区电压、第一分区电压与第二分区电压均互不相同。这使得三个区所显示的影像彼此之间具有较为显著的区别,进而能够在二维显示时实现低色偏显示。
图4是图2所示的子像素的像素电极在三维显示模式下的工作状态示意图。 为了在三维显示模式下实现低色偏显示效果,需要将像素电极的第二分区作为三维显示所需的遮光区域,以确保上下两行像素结构之间具有足够的遮光间距,同时还要使得主区电压和第一分区电压之间具有较为明显的电压差。在本实施例中,优选在垂直回扫期间对第二分区进行插黑,使其形成黑色区域,然后将控制第二分区工作的扫描信号Gn+1关闭,使第二分区电压V_Sub2为零,以使第二分区保持暗态,防止因为漏电而出现漏光现象。然后与二维显示模式类似,在同一时刻通过数据线传送数据信号至主区和第一分区,使主区和第一分区分别具有主区电压和第一分区电压,且所述主区电压与第一分区电压之间具有设定的电压差。由于主区电压和第一分区电压之间存在电压差,主区和第一分区所显示的影像彼此之间有较为显著的区别,因此也能够有效地解决在三维显示时的色偏问题。
以上所述,仅为本发明较佳的具体实施方式,但本发明的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉该技术的人员在本发明所揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到的变化或替换,都应涵盖在本发明的保护范围之内。因此,本发明的保护范围应该以权利要求的保护范围为准。
