Description

一种显示装置及其驱动方法 【技术领域】
本发明涉及显示技术领域,具体而言涉及显示装置的驱动技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示装置及其驱动方法。
【背景技术】
相比液晶显示装置,OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)显示装置能自发光而无需背光单元故功耗更低,其显示亮度由驱动电流决定,驱动电流越大则显示亮度越大,因此当其长时间处于较大显示亮度的状态,长时间内不断接收的驱动电流也较大,这无疑会加速其老化并影响使用寿命,继而严重影响图像显示质量。
现有技术为延长OLED显示装置的使用寿命,普遍采用插黑法以降低其显示亮度,即在每一帧画面之后插入一帧黑画面,但是当前做法通常以固定比例的画面时间或采用画面间隔的方式插入黑画面,并未考虑当时的显示亮度,极易影响用户的观看效果。
【发明内容】
鉴于此,本发明实施例提供一种显示装置及其驱动方法,能够根据静态画面的显示时长相应调节显示亮度,延长显示装置的使用寿命。
本发明实施例提供的一种显示装置的驱动方法,所述驱动方法包括:将显示装置显示时的静态帧分为第一帧和第二帧,且第二帧包括第一子帧和第二子帧,其中第一帧的显示期间的时长和第二帧的显示期间的时长相等;在第一帧和第一子帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面,其中,在第一帧的显示期间,显示装置的多条栅极线依次开启,且显示装置的多条数据线输出灰阶电压以显示灰阶画面,在第一子帧的显示期间,所有栅极线关闭,且数据线停止输出灰阶电压;以及在第二子帧的显示期间,多条栅极线同时开启,且数据线输出暗态电压以输出暗态画面,其中第二子帧的显示期间的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比。
其中,在显示装置显示时的动态帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面。
其中,暗态画面包括黑画面和灰画面。
本发明实施例提供的一种显示装置的驱动方法,所述驱动方法包括:将显示装置显示时的静态帧分为第一帧和第二帧,且第二帧包括第一子帧和第二子帧;在第一帧和第一子帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面;以及在第二子帧的显示期间输出暗态画面,其中第二子帧的显示期间的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比。
其中,在第一帧的显示期间,显示装置的多条栅极线依次开启,且其多条数据线输出灰阶电压以显示灰阶画面;在第一子帧的显示期间,所有栅极线关闭,且数据线停止输出灰阶电压;在第二子帧的显示期间,多条栅极线同时开启,且数据线输出暗态电压以显示暗态画面。
其中,第一帧的显示期间的时长和第二帧的显示期间的时长相等。
其中,在显示装置显示时的动态帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面。
其中,暗态画面包括黑画面和灰画面。
本发明实施例提供的一种显示装置,包括时序控制器以及用于驱动数据线的数据驱动器,所述时序控制器包括:侦测模块,用于侦测显示装置是否进入静态帧的显示期间;时钟模块,用于将静态帧的显示期间分为第一帧和第二帧这两个显示期间,且第二帧包括第一子帧和第二子帧;计时模块,用于计时静态帧的显示时长;控制模块,用于控制数据驱动器使得显示装置在第一帧的显示期间和第一子帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面、在第二子帧的显示期间输出暗态画面,其中第二子帧的显示期间的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比。
其中,显示装置还包括多条栅极线以及用于驱动栅极线的栅极驱动器,在第一帧的显示期间,控制模块用于控制栅极驱动器依次开启多条栅极线,且控制数据驱动器输出灰阶电压给数据线以显示灰阶画面;在第一子帧的显示期间,控制模块用于控制栅极驱动器关闭所有栅极线关闭,且控制数据驱动器停止输出灰阶电压给数据线;在第二子帧的显示期间,控制模块用于控制栅极驱动器同时开启多条栅极线,且控制数据驱动器输出暗态电压给数据线以显示暗态画面。
其中,侦测模块还用于侦测显示装置是否进入动态帧的显示期间,若是,则在动态帧的显示期间,控制模块控制栅极驱动器依次开启多条栅极 线,且控制数据驱动器输出灰阶电压给数据线以显示灰阶画面。
其中,第一帧的显示期间的时长和第二帧的显示期间的时长相等。
其中,暗态画面包括黑画面和灰画面。
本发明实施例的显示装置及其驱动方法,将静态帧分为第一帧和第二帧且第二帧包括显示灰阶画面的第一子帧和显示暗态画面的第二子帧,根据静态画面的显示时长以正比例关系相应调节第二子帧的时长,即静态画面的显示时长越大则暗态画面的显示时长越大,静态画面的显示时长越小则暗态画面的显示时长越小,从而可动态调节显示装置的显示亮度,避免显示装置长时间处于较大显示亮度的状态,进而降低其老化速度并延长使用寿命,确保图像显示质量。

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明所提供的示例性的实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
本发明实施例提供一种如图1所示的驱动方法,用于驱动图2所示的显示装置,该显示装置可以为OLED显示装置且包括时序控制器21、数据驱动器22、栅极驱动器23以及显示面板24,时序控制器21用于产生控制信号控制数据驱动器22和栅极驱动器23以驱动显示面板24显示图像。
其中,显示面板24包括沿列方向间隔排列的多条栅极线G以及与栅极线绝缘垂直交叉且沿行方向间隔排列的数据线D,多条栅极线G和多条数据线D交叉定义出显示装置的多个阵列排布的像素单元。每一像素单元与对应的TFT(Thin Film Transistor,薄膜晶体管)连接,具体地,TFT的漏极连接像素单元、栅极连接栅极线、源极连接数据线。栅极驱动器23与扫描线G连接并通过扫描线G为像素单元提供扫描信号,数据驱动器22与 数据线D连接并通过数据线D为像素单元提供数据信号(灰阶电压),扫描信号为逐行扫描并为用以控制每一行像素单元的开关信号,扫描信号通过对TFT的通断进行控制,并和数据信号共同作用于TFT,实现对与之连接的像素单元的电流的控制,其中当TFT导通时数据信号可通过TFT对像素单元的存储电容充电,从而使显示装置在每一帧的显示期间都能发光以显示图像。
参阅图1所示,本实施例的驱动方法包括以下:
步骤S11:将显示装置显示时的静态帧分为第一帧和第二帧,且第二帧包括第一子帧和第二子帧。
步骤S12:在第一帧和第一子帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面。
步骤S13:在第二子帧的显示期间输出暗态画面,其中第二子帧的显示期间的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比。
首先需要侦测显示装置在进行图像显示时所要显示的当前帧是静态帧还是动态帧,具体举例而言,假设先前帧与当前帧为连续帧,其中先前帧与当前帧均包括一座山和一朵云,若先前帧与当前帧中云的位置相同,则表示当前帧为静态帧。当然,判断静态帧或动态帧的方式并不局限于此,本发明实施例对此并不予以限制。
当接收到一图像资料时,显示装置通过分析将图像资料中的每一静态帧的显示期间分为图像期间和暗态期间,如图3所示,图像期间包括第一帧F1的显示期间和第二帧F2第一子帧的显示期间t1,暗态期间为第一子帧的显示期间t2。在图像期间,数据驱动器22在时序控制器21的控制下为显示面板24写入灰阶画面对应的灰阶电压,且在暗态期间,数据驱动器22在时序控制器21的控制下为显示面板24写入暗态画面对应的暗态电压。另外,在显示装置的动态帧的显示期间,数据驱动器22在时序控制器21的控制下为显示面板24写入灰阶画面对应的灰阶电压。需要指出的是,无论是图像期间的灰阶画面还是暗态期间的暗态画面,均是显示面板24显示的一种图像。
其中,第一帧的显示期间的时长和第二帧的显示期间的时长相等,相当于对每一静态帧进行倍频,例如若图像的原频率为60Hz,则倍频后图像的频率变为120Hz。
本发明实施例实质上是一种画面插黑或插灰的驱动方法,即前述暗态画面为黑画面或灰画面,并且画面插黑或插灰的时间点可以根据静态帧的显示时长进行调节。下面结合图3的时序图进行描述。
如图3所示,通过栅极驱动信号OE控制栅极线的信号输出,通过灰阶驱动信号STB控制数据线的信号输出,通过电压检测结果信号XAO控制所有栅极线G打开,具体而言:
在第一帧F1的显示期间,栅极驱动信号OE输出高电平,栅极驱动器23控制各条栅极线G依次开启进行高电平输出,并依次打开对应的TFT,同时对应的每条栅极线G打开,第一灰阶驱动信号STB1由高变低,此时数据驱动器22对数据线D输出灰阶信号SO,所述灰阶信号SO对应灰阶电压Vdata,从而为像素单元充电以显示灰阶画面。
在第一帧F2的第一子帧的显示期间t1,栅极驱动信号OE输出低电平,栅极驱动器23控制所有栅极线G关闭,同时第一灰阶驱动信号STB1输出低电平,数据驱动器22对数据线D输出低电平的灰阶信号SO,例如为零,也就是说,所有数据线D停止输出灰阶电压,此时像素单元的存储电容供电,显示装置仍可以显示灰阶画面。
在第一帧F2的第二子帧的显示期间t2,栅极驱动信号OE输出高电平,栅极驱动器23控制各条栅极线G同时开启进行高电平输出,同时第二灰阶驱动信号STB2出现下降沿,数据驱动器22对数据线D输出灰阶信号SO,所述灰阶信号SO对应灰阶电压Vref且所述灰阶电压Vref小于所述灰阶电压Vdata,从而为像素单元充电以显示暗态画面。若暗态画面为黑画面,则灰阶电压Vref表示为显示装置显示黑画面时的灰阶驱动电压;若暗态画面为灰画面,则灰阶电压Vref表示为显示装置显示灰画面时的灰阶驱动电压。
在本发明实施例中,第二子帧的显示期间t2的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比,也就是说,本发明实施例根据静态画面的显示时长以正比例关系相应调节第二子帧的显示期间t2的时长,即静态画面的显示时长越大则暗态画面的显示时长越大,静态画面的显示时长越小则暗态画面的显示时长越小,从而可动态调节显示装置的显示亮度,降低显示装置在长时间处于静态画面时的显示亮度,进而降低其老化速度并延长使用寿命,确保图像显示质量。
本发明实施例还提供一种如图4所示的显示装置,如图4所示,显示装置40包括时序控制器41、数据驱动器42以及栅极驱动器43,时序控制器41用于产生控制信号控制数据驱动器42和栅极驱动器43以使显示装置40显示图像,时序控制器41包括侦测模块411、时钟模块412、计时模块413以及控制模块414,其中:
侦测模块411用于侦测显示装置40是否进入静态帧的显示期间,当然也就用于侦测显示装置40是否进入动态帧的显示期间。
时钟模块412用于将静态帧的显示期间分为第一帧和第二帧这两个显示期间,且第二帧包括第一子帧和第二子帧。第一帧的显示期间的时长和第二帧的显示期间的时长可以相等。
计时模块413用于计时静态帧的显示时长。
控制模块414用于控制数据驱动器42使得显示装置40在第一帧的显示期间和第一子帧的显示期间输出灰阶画面、在第二子帧的显示期间输出暗态画面,暗态画面包括黑画面和灰画面。
其中,第二子帧的显示期间的时长与静态帧的显示时长成正比。具体而言,在第一帧的显示期间,控制模块414用于控制栅极驱动器43依次开启多条栅极线,且控制数据驱动器42输出灰阶电压给数据线以显示灰阶画面;在第一子帧的显示期间,控制模块414用于控制栅极驱动器43关闭所有栅极线关闭,且控制数据驱动器42停止输出灰阶电压给数据线;在第二子帧的显示期间,控制模块414用于控制栅极驱动器43同时开启多条栅极线,且控制数据驱动器42输出暗态电压给数据线以显示暗态画面。
另外,在侦测模块411侦测显示装置40进入动态帧的显示期间,控制模块414控制栅极驱动器43依次开启多条栅极线,且控制数据驱动器42输出灰阶电压给数据线以显示灰阶画面。
以上描述的显示装置40的时序控制器41的多个模块结构,对应执行上述实施例所述的方法,具有与其相同的技术效果。
应该理解到,上述时序控制器41的实施方式仅是示意性的,模块的划分,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式,例如两个模块可集成到另一个系统中,或一些特征可以忽略,或不执行。另外,模块相互之间的连接可以通过一些接口,也可以是电性或其它形式。上述 模块作为时序控制器41的组成部分,可以是或者也可以不是物理框,既可以位于一个地方,也可分布到多个网络单元上,既可采用软件功能框的形式实现,也可采用硬件的形式实现。
在此基础上,以上所述仅为本发明的实施例,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,例如各实施例之间技术特征的相互结合,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
