Description

像素电极电压处理电路及显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种像素电极电压处理电路及显示装置。
背景技术
液晶平板显示器,特别是TFT-LCD,是目前唯一在亮度、对比度、功耗、寿命、体积和重量等综合性能上全面赶上甚至超过CRT的显示器件。它的性能优良、大规模生产特性好、自动化程度高、原材料成本低廉、发展空间广阔,已经成为目前的主流显示产品。
图1A和图1B分别为现有技术TFT-LCD的立体结构示意图和横截面结构示意图。参照图1A和图1B,TFT-LCD主要由后板模块100、液晶层200和前板模块300三部分组成。后板模块100是指液晶层后面的部分,主要由后偏光板110、后玻璃板120、后板电路130、后定向膜140等组成。后板电路130形成于后玻璃板上,并包括:栅线131、数据线132、像素电极133和薄膜晶体管134等。
前板模块300是指液晶层前面的部分,主要由前定向膜310、公共电极320、彩色滤光片330、前玻璃板340和前偏光片350等组成。前玻璃板340贴有彩色滤光片330,并形成有公共电极320。前、后两层玻璃板中间夹持的就是液晶层200。对于TFT-LCD而言,每个像素单元从结构上可以看作是像素电极和公共电极之间夹持一液晶层,该液晶层可以等效为一液晶电容器CLC
图2A和图2B分别为TFT-LCD中像素单元的结构示意图和等效电路图。参照图2A和图2B,薄膜晶体管134的栅极(G极)连接至栅线131,源极(S极)连接至数据线,漏极(D极)连接至像素电极(133)。在实际应用中,由两侧的像素电极和公共电极给液晶电容器CLC充电。
液晶电容器CLC的电容值约为0.1pF。然而,液晶电容器CLC本身无法将电压保持到下一次刷新画面数据的时刻(对于一般60Hz的画面刷新频率,需要保持16ms)。由于电压发生变化,所显示的色阶就会不正确,因此一般在设计面板时,会再加上一个储存电容器Cs(一般由像素电极133和公共电极320的走线形成),其值约为0.5pF,以让充满电的液晶电容器CLC的电压能够保持到下一次更新画面的时刻。
然而,在像素单元中,公共电极320受到其他因素的影响会产生一些纹波电压或峰值电压。而液晶电容器CLC在像素电极133和公共电极320之间充电时,像素电极133相对公共电极320的电压输出就会发生波动而形成压差,这样液晶转动就会影响灰阶的正常输出,从而出现一些画面的异常如串扰、greenish或产生亮、暗线残像等不良现象。
发明内容
(一)要解决的技术问题
鉴于上述技术问题,本发明提供了一种像素电极电压处理电路及显示装置,以消除公共电极电压波动对液晶层充电的影响。

根据本发明的再一个方面,提供了一种显示装置。该显示装置包括:栅线、数据线,以及阵列排布的若干个像素单元。每一像素单元包括:薄膜晶体管、像素电极、公共电极和上述像素电极电压处理电路。优选地,像素电极电压处理电路的第一输入端连接至薄膜晶体管 的漏极,第二输入端连接公共电极,输出端连接至像素电极;并且薄膜晶体管的栅极连接至栅线,源极连接至数据线。
(三)有益效果
从上述技术方案可以看出,本发明像素电极电压处理电路及显示装置将公共电极的波动电压叠加到原始像素电压上,使得像素电极输出的电压相对于公共电极的电压稳定地输出,从而使像素显示灰阶不受公共电极电压波动的影响,消除了画面异常现象,保持了正常显示。

本发明将公共电极的波动电压叠加到原始像素电极电压上,使得像素电极输出的电压相对于公共电极的电压稳定地输出,从而使像素显示灰阶不受公共电极电压波动的影响,消除了画面异常现象,保持了正常显示。
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚明白,以下结合具体实施例,并参照附图,对本发明进一步详细说明。
图3为根据本发明第一实施例的TFT-LCD中像素单元的电路示意图。在本发明的一个示例性实施例中,图3所示TFT-LCD中像素单元的等效电路图中包括像素电极电压处理电路,该像素电极电压处理电路包括:第一输入端IN1,其输出原始像素电极电压(Data Voltage);第二输入端IN2,其输出公共电极电压(Vcom Feedback);和输出端OUT,用于输出处理后的像素电极电压(Data Output)。该像素电极电压处理电路用于将公共电极电压(Vcom Feedback)叠加到原始像素电极电压(Data Voltage),得到相对于公共电极电压而言稳定的电压作为处理后像素电极电压(Data Output)。
与图2B类似,在本实施例中,第一输入端IN1连接至薄膜晶体管134的漏极(D极),第二输入端IN2连接至公共电极320,像素电极电压处理电路的输出端OUT连接至像素电极133。关于薄膜晶体管,在现有技术中均公开有大量的技术内容,此处不再对其结构赘述。
如上所述,液晶层可以等效为一液晶电容器CIC。与图2B类似,在本实施例的像素单元中,同样包括储存电容器Cs,其两端连接至液晶电容器CLC的两端,以让充满电的液晶电容器CLC的电压能够保持到下一次更新画面的时刻。
图4为图3所示像素单元电路中的像素电极电压处理电路的示意图。参照图4,本实施例的像素电极电压处理电路包括:运算放大器U1,其负相输入端通过第一电阻器R1连接至地,且该负相输入端通过第二电阻器R2连接至运算放大器的输出端;第三电阻器R3,其第一端连接至第一输入端IN1,其第二端连接至运算放大器U1的正相输入端;滤波电容器C,其第一端连接至第二输入端IN2,其第二端通过第四电阻器R4连接至运算放大器U1的正相输入端。其中,运算放 大器的输出端OUT作为像素电极电压处理电路的输出端,输出处理后的像素电极电压(Data Output)。
在本实施例中,运算放大器U1、第一电阻器R1、第二电阻器R2、第三电阻器R3、第四电阻器R4和滤波电容器C构成加法运算电路。参照图5,通过该加法运算电路,将公共电极的动态波动电压波形(Vcom Feedback)与原始像素电极电压波形(Data Voltage)叠加,使得输出的电压波形(Data Output)叠加了公共电极的动态波动信号,然后输出至像素电极,从而,像素电极的充电电压相对于公共电极为稳定的正常电压,像素电极的输出灰阶不会产生偏差,输出灰阶正常。
在本实施例中,滤波电容器C用于将公共电极的动态波动电压波形(Vcom Feedback)中的直流分量滤除,仅保留动态波动电压中的纹波电压或峰值电压部分。当不考虑直流分量的情况下,该滤波电容器C可以省略。
在本实施例中,第一电阻器R1的作用是将第一电阻器R1和第二电阻器R2的交点,即运算放大器的负相输入端与地隔离。
在本实施例中,可以根据TFT LCD状况,调节公共电极的动态波动电压波形的叠加倍数K。该叠加倍数K由第二电阻器R和第四电阻器R4的比值决定,即:
Figure PCTCN2016084272-appb-000001
其中,R2为第二电阻器R2的阻值,R4为第四电阻器R4的阻值。一般情况下,第二电阻器R2为定值电阻,其阻值R2不变;第四电阻器R4为可变电阻器。通过调节第四电阻器R4的电阻值R4,可以确定公共电极的动态波动电压波形的叠加倍数K。其中,R4的取值在kΩ量级。
此外,在本实施例中,第三电阻器R3的阻值R3与第二电阻器R2的阻值R2相等。
在本发明的第二个示例性实施例中,还提供了一种显示装置。该显示装置包括:栅线、数据线,以及阵列排布的若干个像素单元。
每一像素单元包括:薄膜晶体管、像素电极、公共电极和第一实 施例的像素电极电压处理电路。其中,所述像素电极电压处理电路的第一输入端连接至薄膜晶体管的漏极,第二输入端连接至公共电极,输出端连接至像素电极。所述薄膜晶体管的栅极连接至栅线,源极连接至数据线。
至此,已经结合附图对本发明多个实施例进行了详细描述。依据以上描述,本领域技术人员应当对本发明像素电极电压处理电路及显示装置有了清楚的认识。
需要说明的是,在附图或说明书正文中,未绘示或描述的实现方式,均为所属技术领域中普通技术人员所知的形式,并未进行详细说明。此外,上述对各元件的定义并不仅限于实施例中提到的各种具体结构、形状或方式,本领域普通技术人员可以对其进行简单地更改或替换。
此外,本文可提供包含特定值的参数的示范,但这些参数无需确切等于相应的值,而是可以在可接受的误差容限或设计约束内近似于相应值。并且,实施例中提到的方向用语,例如“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”等,仅是参考附图的方向,并非用来限制本发明的保护范围。
综上所述,本发明通过将公共电极的动态电压波动(纹波或峰值)电压波形叠加到像素电极上去,以使得像素电极的充电电压相对公共电极为正常电压,使得输出灰阶正常,避免了串扰、greenish或亮、暗线残像等画面异常现象的产生,提升了画面效果和用户体验,具有较强的实用价值和推广应用前景。
以上所述的具体实施例,对本发明的目的、技术方案和有益效果进行了进一步详细说明,所应理解的是,以上所述仅为本发明的具体实施例而已,并不用于限制本发明,凡在本发明的精神和原则之内,所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
