Description

驱动装置及液晶显示装置
本申请要求享有2015年9月9日提交的名称为“驱动装置及液晶显示装置”的中国专利申请CN201510572226.3的优先权,其全部内容通过引用并入本文中。
技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种用于驱动液晶显示面板的装置,还涉及一种具有液晶显示面板及其驱动装置的液晶显示装置。
背景技术
在薄膜晶体管液晶显示器(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display,TFT-LCD)中,通常通过栅极驱动装置向像素区域的各个薄膜晶体管的栅极提供栅极驱动信号,以控制栅极的开启与关闭。为了防止液晶分子发生极化,需要通过交流驱动的方式驱动液晶显示器装置。目前主要通过向薄膜晶体管的源极提供正负交替的源极驱动电压来实现上述交流驱动方式。正负交替的源极驱动电压包括正极性电压和负极性电压。正极性电压定义为大于参考电压(通常为公共电压)的电压,负极性电压定义为小于参考电压的电压。
图1示出了现有技术中液晶显示面板的驱动装置的示意图。图2示出了针对图1的驱动装置的驱动时序图。图3示出了在行反转驱动模式下像素电压的极性示意图。在行反转驱动模式下,相邻栅极线上对应的像素以行为单位正负极性反转。
当显示画面翻转为第m帧时,第n行栅极线对应的像素电压的极性统一为正极性,第n+1行栅极线对应的像素电压的极性统一为负极性。参照图1和图2,当向第n行栅极线提供栅极驱动电压时,位于同一行的晶体管T1、T2…开启,向该第n行栅极线对应的所有像素写入正极性电压,写入时间为t。正极性电压写入完毕后,向第n+1行栅极线提供栅极驱动电压。此时,位于该行的晶体管T3、T4…开启,向该第n+1行栅极线对应的所有像素写入负极性电压,写入时间同样为t。
将向第n行栅极线对应的像素写入的正极性电压与第n行栅极线的栅极驱动电压的电压差,记为第一电压差。将向第n+1行栅极线对应的像素写入的负极性电压与第n+1行栅极线的栅极驱动电压的电压差,记为第二电压差。由于在栅极开启时,第一电压差和第二电压差是不同的,因此在相同写入时间条件下,源极线对像素充电的效果会表现得不 同。进而,会使得液晶显示面板具有显示画面亮暗不一、显示效果不均匀的技术缺陷。

具体实施方式
以下将结合附图及实施例来详细说明本发明的实施方式,借此对本发明如何应用技术手段来解决技术问题,并达成技术效果的实现过程能充分理解并据以实施。需要说明的是,只要不构成冲突,本发明中的各个实施例以及各实施例中的各个特征可以相互结合,所形成的技术方案均在本发明的保护范围之内。
为克服现有技术中液晶显示面板显示画面亮暗不一、显示效果不均匀的技术缺陷,本发明实施例提供了一种液晶显示面板的驱动装置。
如图4所示,是本发明实施例液晶显示面板的驱动装置的示意图。本实施例的驱动装置主要包括多个源极驱动电路、多个栅极驱动电路和控制电路。
具体地,每个源极驱动电路用于按照行反转的驱动模式向所述液晶显示面板的一条源极线提供正极性电压或者负极性电压。行反转驱动模式下像素电压的极性如图3所示。以相邻的两条栅极线为例,在显示第m帧图像时,向该第n行栅极线对应的所有像素写入正极性电压,写入完毕后向第n+1行栅极线对应的所有像素写入负极性电压。在显示第m+1帧图像时,向该第n行栅极线对应的所有像素写入负极性电压,写入完毕后向第n+1行栅极线对应的所有像素写入正极性电压。
每个栅极驱动电路用于向所述液晶显示面板的一条栅极线提供栅极驱动信号。栅极驱动信号用于开启对应的栅极线。
控制电路用于在显示同一帧图像时,控制向源极线提供正极性电压的第一时间小于向源极线提供负极性电压的第二时间。相比于现有技术中向源极线提供正极性电压的第一时间等于向源极线提供负极性电压的第二时间的技术方案,本实施例的控制电路缩短了向源极线提供正极性电压的第一时间,同时延长了向源极线提供负极性电压的第二时间。由于正极性电压与栅极驱动电压的第一电压差较大,负极性电压与栅极驱动电压的第二电压差较小,因此本实施例通过缩短正极性电压对像素的充电时间,同时延长负极性电压对像素的充电时间,来补偿正负极性电压对像素的充电差异。正负极性电压对像素的充电差异通过充电时间得到补偿后,能够改善现有技术中液晶显示面板显示画面亮暗不一、显示效果不均匀的现象。
另外,为保证在向源极线提供负极性电压时对应的栅极线仍保持开启状态,需要增加提供栅极驱动信号的持续时间。即需要加宽栅极驱动信号的输出宽度。在本实施例中,栅极驱动电路提供栅极驱动信号的持续时间应大于或者等于向源极线提供负极性电压的第二时间。即向相邻两条栅极线提供栅极驱动信号的持续时间存在重叠。经推导,重叠的时间应大于或者等于第二时间减去第一时间的差。
在本发明一优选的实施例中,所述第一时间与所述第二时间的和恒定。这样,相邻两帧向同一像素施加正极性电压的第一时间与施加负极性电压的第二时间之和不变。变化的只有第一时间或第二时间所占总时间的比例。
在本发明一优选的实施例中,第二时间减去所述第一时间的差大于预设的时间阈值。特别地,所述预设的时间阈值大于第二充电时间减去第一充电时间的差。这里,所述第一充电时间为将所述正极性电压作为充电电压时使像素充满电所需的时间,所述第二充电时间为将所述负极性电压作为充电电压时使所述像素充满电所需的时间。
当第二时间与第一时间的差满足上述条件时,无论是正极性电压还是负极性电压,都能使像素达到充满电的饱和状态。本实施例能够彻底消除正负极性电压对像素的充电差异,使现有技术中液晶显示面板显示画面不会出现亮暗不一、显示效果不均匀的现象。
参照图4,在本发明一优选的实施例中,上述控制电路包括控制单元和多个开关元件。每个开关元件对应一个栅极驱动电路。控制单元用于控制各个开关元件的打开或者闭合的状态。各个栅极驱动电路通过与其相对应的开关元件与对应的栅极线电连接,以向该栅极线提供相应的栅极驱动信号。特别地,开关元件优选为晶体管,相邻两个所述栅极驱动电路对应的开关元件分别为NMOS晶体管和PMOS晶体管。
下面以相邻的一对栅极线(第n行栅极线和第n+1行栅极线)为例详细描述本发明实施例驱动装置的工作过程。参照图4和图5,本示例驱动装置的工作过程主要包括下述步骤1至步骤7。
在步骤1中,当显示画面翻转为第m帧时,控制单元提供的时钟信号CK(m)为高电平,NMOS晶体管T5导通,PMOS晶体管T6截止。第n行栅极线G(n)为高电平,此时晶体管T1和T2开始导通,持续时间长度为t2。这里,t2=t+t1。其中,t1为G(n)与G(n+1)的重叠时间。这时,源极S(n)和S(n+1)统一输入负极性电压。由于其它行栅极线处于关闭状态,所以只能对第n行像素进行充电。对第n行像素的充电时间长度受CK(m)高电平时间控制。在本示例中,对第n行像素的充电时间长度为t3,即上述第一时间。
在步骤2中,当对第n行像素充电完成后,控制CK(m)切换为低电平。此时NMOS晶体管T5截止,PMOS晶体管T6导通。第n+1行栅极线G(n+1)为高电平,此时晶体管T3和T4开始导通。这时,源极S(n)和S(n+1)统一输入正极性电压,其有效充电时间长度为t4,即上述第二时间。
在步骤3中,重复步骤1和步骤2,至到第m帧画面显示完成。
在步骤4中,当显示画面翻转为第m+1帧,控制单元提供的时钟信号CK(m+1)为高电平,此时晶体管T1、T2和T5开始导通。这时,源极S(n)和S(n+1)统一输入正极性电 压,其有效充电时间长度为第二时间t4。
在步骤5中,当对第n行像素充电完成后,控制CK(m+1)切换为低电平。此时NMOS晶体管T5截止,PMOS晶体管T6导通。第n+1行栅极线G(n+1)为高电平,此时晶体管T3和T4开始导通。这时,源极S(n)和S(n+1)统一输入负极性电压,其有效充电时间长度为第一时间t3。
在步骤6中,重复步骤4和步骤5,至到第m+1帧画面显示完成。
在步骤7中,各帧交替变化完成画面显示。
相应地,本发明实施例还提供了一种液晶显示装置。本实施例的液晶显示装置包括液晶显示面板和上述驱动装置。由于上面已对驱动装置的结构进行了详细的阐述,故在此处不再进行赘述。
应用本发明实施例提供的驱动装置,通过增加栅极驱动信号的持续时间,同时通过缩短向源极线提供正极性电压的时间,并延长向源极线提供负极性电压的时间,来补偿因正负极性电压对像素充电效率的差异。因此,本发明实施例的驱动装置能够改善现有技术中液晶显示面板显示画面亮暗不一、显示效果不均匀的现象。
虽然本发明所公开的实施方式如上,但所述的内容只是为了便于理解本发明而采用的实施方式,并非用以限定本发明。任何本发明所属技术领域内的技术人员,在不脱离本发明所公开的精神和范围的前提下,可以在实施的形式上及细节上作任何的修改与变化,但本发明的保护范围,仍须以所附的权利要求书所界定的范围为准。
