Description

液晶显示装置的驱动方法及液晶显示装置 技术领域
本申请涉及液晶显示技术领域,特别是涉及一种液晶显示装置的驱动方法及液晶显示装置。
背景技术
液晶显示器各种代表性色系的大视角与正视视角色偏变化中,红色、绿色和蓝色的色系大视角色偏情况均较其他色系严重,而且,由于灰阶液晶显示的视角亮度比例的快速饱和提升,使得越低灰阶值的正视角亮度与侧视角亮度差异越大。
目前用于改善色偏的方式是将每一个子像素都再细分为一个主像素和次像素,然后用相对高的驱动电压驱动主像素,用相对低的驱动电压驱动次像素,主像素和次像素一起显示一个子像素。并且利用所述相对高的驱动电压和相对低的驱动电压分别驱动主像素和次像素时,能够维持正视视角下的亮度与对应灰阶的关系不变。方法一般在灰阶的前半段,主像素用相对高的驱动电压驱动显示、次像素不显示,整个子像素的亮度就是主像素亮度的一半;在灰阶的后半段,主像素用相对高的驱动电压驱动显示、次像素用相对低的驱动电压驱动显示,整个子像素的亮度就是主像素的亮度加上次像素的亮度的和的一半。这样合成后,虽然大视角下的色偏情况有所改善。但上述方法存在的问题是,需要增加一倍的金属走线和驱动器件来驱动次像素,使可透光开口区牺牲,影响面板透光率,同时成本也更高。

步骤S310:判断所述二元混色像素单元待显示的原灰阶数据组对应的原灰阶值组中的红色灰阶值是否为0,若是,则执行步骤S320,否则,执行步骤S330。
某种颜色为二元混色类型,说明所述颜色中包含了红、绿、蓝三种成分的任意两种颜色,在液晶显示技术领域中,对应所述像素单元110中的所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113的灰阶值只有其中的一个为0,其他两个不为0,即对应的原灰阶数据组中只含有一个所述0灰阶数据。所述步骤S310首先判断所述红色子像素111对应的灰阶值是否为0,仅仅是为了便于说明而列举的一种情况,其实际上可以采用红色、绿色和蓝色子像素中一个颜色的灰阶值进行先判断。

步骤S340:判断所述蓝色子像素灰阶值为0的像素单元对应的红色灰阶值是否大于绿色灰阶值,若是,则执行步骤S380,否则,执行步骤S370。所述步骤是在判定蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值为0时,即确定了所述像素单元显示的颜色为绿色和红色的混合色,所以判断所述绿色灰阶值和所述红色灰阶值的大小关系就能够确定所述像素单元对应的所述原灰阶数据组中的所述最小非0灰阶数据了。
步骤S350:判断所述绿色子像素灰阶值为0的像素单元对应的红色灰阶值是否大于蓝色灰阶值,若是,则执行步骤S360,否则,执行步骤S380。所述步骤是在判定绿色子像素112对应的灰阶值为0时,即确定了所述像素单元显示的颜色为红色和蓝色的混合色,所以所述判断红色灰阶值和所述蓝色灰阶值的大小关系就能够确定所述像素单元对应的所述原灰阶数据组中的所述最小非0灰阶数据了。
步骤S360:判定所述二元混色像素单元对应的所述原灰阶数据组中所述蓝色子像素对应的原灰阶数据为所述最小非0灰阶数据。

步骤S380:判定所述二元混色像素单元对应的所述原灰阶数据组中所述红色子像素对应的所述原灰阶数据为所述最小非0灰阶数据。
所述分组规则中,由于灰阶液晶显示的视角亮度比例的快速饱和提升,使得越低灰阶值的正视角亮度与侧视角亮度的差异越大,所以,为了突出主色和改善色偏,将所述原灰阶数据组中的最低灰阶数据放到单独的一组灰阶数据中显示,而在其他分组中则可以显示不含有最低灰阶数据的颜色,从而消除所述分组中最低灰阶颜色因灰阶液晶显示的视角亮度比例的快速饱和提升而影响主色的显示。为了更加清楚直接的说明分组规则,以灰阶值组进行如下的分组说明,需要注意的是,分组过程是在处理原灰阶数据组时进行的数据分组,这里用灰阶值组来说明只是为了方便和简捷:
假设某个所述像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组转化成原灰阶值组为(A、B、C),即所述红色子像素111对应的灰阶值为A,所述绿色子像素112对应的灰阶值为B,所述蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值为C,当A>B>C时,即可判定所述蓝色子像素113对应的所述灰阶值为所述原灰阶值中的最小灰阶值,即最低灰阶值,所述最低灰阶值的正视角亮度与侧视角亮度的差异最大。为了减轻所述最低灰阶值的影响,现将所述最低灰阶值作为所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113共同的灰阶值,组成所述第一灰阶值组,即(C、C、C)。而将所述原灰阶数据中所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值分别减去所述最低灰阶值的差值组作为所述第二灰阶值组,即(A-C、B-C、0)。如此设置,就能在所述第二灰阶值组中将最低灰阶值去除,消除所述最低灰阶值在所述第二灰阶值组显示时对大视角情况下色偏的影响,分解后的主色灰阶值之和相对低灰阶值的比例得到了提升,因此,不仅使侧视角下的色偏有所改善,还使得主色的亮度得到了提升。
在上述的内容中,所述灰阶值数据组和所述灰阶值组都是以所述像素单元110为最小单位,分别由包括所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113分别对应的灰阶数据或灰阶值在内的构成的数据组。所述原灰阶数据组是指包括红、绿、蓝灰阶数据在内的,显示装置输入的原始灰阶值数据组。所述原灰阶值组是指由所述原灰阶数组直接转化成的包括红、绿、蓝灰阶数据在内的灰阶值组。
上述的分组规则中将二元混色和单元色对应的所述原灰阶数据组分解成两组灰阶数据组的目的是为了和三元混色的灰阶数据组的执行控制方式保持同步,便于驱动和控制。
此外,液晶显示装置还包括驱动模块。所述驱动模块设置为接收、处理并输出驱动数据。所述驱动方法还包括将各个像素单元的驱动频率提升为原来的1至3倍,以补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度。将原本一个灰阶值分解成两个灰阶值在两个连续的时间段内显示,使得画面的显示时间变成了原来的两倍,即显示速度降低为原来的一半,为了补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度,可将驱动频率提高。
在其中一个实施例中,将各个所述像素单元的驱动频率提升为原来的2倍,以维持经过灰阶值分解后的所述像素单元的显示速度与灰阶值分解前的显示速度相同。如此设置,是为了使灰阶值分解显示后的画面流畅效果与原灰阶数据显示的画面流畅效果基本相同,在不损害原有的视觉效果下,改善液晶显示的色偏问题。
在其中一个实施例中,液晶显示装置还包括背光模块300。所述背光模块300包括用于提供背光光源的背光单元320。驱动方法还包括将所述背光单元320亮度提升为原来的1至3倍,以补偿因灰阶值分解,或驱动频率的提高,或灰阶值分解和驱动频率的提高同时作用下而降低的显示亮度。因为灰阶值分解的过程是将原高灰阶值分解成了两个新的低灰阶值,即实际中由一组高电压信号,被分解成了两组低电压信号,因而亮度会降低。另一方面,由于将原本一个灰阶值分解成两个灰阶值在两个连续的时间段内显示,使得画面的显示时间变成了原来的两倍,即显示速度降低为原来的二分之一,为了补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度,一般还会将驱动频率提高,驱动频率提高后还因为其每组灰阶数据组实际显示的时间较原驱动频率时小而造成亮度降低。例如,将原驱动频率提高为原驱动频率的两倍,则驱动信号实际显示时间变为原驱动信号时间的1/2而造成亮度降低。为了补偿因灰阶值分解,或驱动频率的提高,或者因灰阶值分解和动频率的提高同时进行而降低的亮度,可将背光亮度提升。
在其中一个实施例中,将所述背光单元320亮度提升为原来的2倍,以维持经过灰阶值分解后的像素单元亮度与灰阶值分解前的亮度相同。如此设置,是为了使灰阶值分解显示后的效果与原灰阶数据显示的效果基本相同,在不损害原有的视觉效果下,改善液晶显示的色偏问题。
上述方法,通过判断各个所述像素单元待显示的所述原灰阶数据组对应颜色的类型,并根据各个所述像素单元待显示的原灰阶数据组对应颜色的类型将所述原灰阶数据组按照设定的分组规则分成第一灰阶数据组和第二灰阶数据组分别在两个连续的时间段内输出显示。如此设置,提高了主色调的亮度比例,使得大视角主色调受到低电压子像素影响的色偏情况获得改善。此外,不仅增加了大视角情况下的主信号亮度呈现,而且,通过背光亮度提升为原亮度的2倍可以维持整体画质显示的亮度不变,以及通过提高驱动频率为原驱动频率的2倍,可以维持整体画质显示的速度不变。同时,本申请不需要在液晶显示板上进行额外的布线。
在其中一个实施例中,所述背光单元320可以为RGB型LED灯,白光型LED灯或其他光源,在此不作限定。
在其中一个实施例中,所述像素单元110包括4个及4个以上颜色相异的子像素。
在其中一个实施例中,所述像素单元110包括4个颜色相异的子像素,除了包含所述 红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112以及所述蓝色子像素113外,还可以包括例如白色子像素、黄色子像素、橙色子像素或其他颜色子像素。
在其中一个实施例中,所述像素单元110包括多个颜色相异的子像素。例如,所述像素单元包括白色子像素、黄色子像素、橙色子像素三种颜色的子像素。

其中,所述n为大于或等于1的整数。
在其中一个实施例中,所述像素单元包括多个颜色相异的子像素。
在其中一个实施例中,所述像素单元包括红色子像素、绿色子像素和蓝色子像素。所述像素单元每接收一个灰阶值组生成一种颜色。所述灰阶值组由输入显示装置的灰阶数据生成。所述灰阶值组包括红色灰阶值、绿色灰阶值和蓝色灰阶值。像素单元生成的颜色为单元色、二元混色和三元混色三种类型中的任意一种类型。
上述液晶显示装置的驱动方法,能够使所述液晶显示装置针对设定的区域或根据显示数据的性质针对部分区域使用上述驱动方法。如此设置,能够使得使用上述驱动方法的液晶显示区域提高主色调的亮度比例,使得大视角主色调受到低电压子像素影响的色偏情况获得改善。此外,能够使得使用上述驱动方法的液晶显示区域增加大视角情况下的主信号亮度呈现,而且,通过背光亮度提升为原亮度的2倍可以维持整体画质显示的亮度不变,以及通过提高驱动频率为原驱动频率的2倍,可以维持整体画质显示的速度不变。同时,本申请不需要在液晶显示板上进行额外的布线。
此外,本申请还提供了如下液晶显示装置的驱动方法。
如图1所示,所述液晶显示装置包括显示模块100。所述显示模块100包括多个呈阵列排布的像素单元110。像素单元包括红色子像素111、绿色子像素112和蓝色子像素113。所述像素单元110生成的颜色为单元色、二元混色和三元混色三种类型中的任意一种类型。所述液晶显示装置的驱动方法包括:

将所述第一灰阶数据组、所述第二灰阶数据组和所述第三灰阶数据组分别在三个连续的时间段内输出显示。
分组规则具体包括:
将三元混色像素单元110对应的原灰阶数据组中的最小原灰阶数据作为所述像素单元中所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113的共同灰阶数据,组成所述第一灰阶数据组。
将三元混色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组减去所述第一灰阶数据组的差值数据组中的最小非0灰阶数据作为所述差值数据组中非0灰阶数据对应子像素的共同灰阶数据,与0灰阶数据一起组成所述第二灰阶数据组。

将二元混色像素单元110对应的原灰阶数据组中的0灰阶数据作为所述像素单元中所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113的共同灰阶数据,组成所述第一灰阶数据组。
将二元混色像素单元110对应的原灰阶数据组中的最小非0灰阶数据作为所述原灰阶数据组中非0灰阶数据对应的子像素的共同灰阶数据,与所述0灰阶数据一起组成所述第二灰阶数据组。
将二元混色像素单元110对应的原灰阶数据组减去所述第二灰阶数据组的差值数据组作为所述第三灰阶数据组。
或者,将所述二元混色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组中的所述最小非0灰阶数据对应灰阶值的一半对应的灰阶数据,作为所述像素单元110中两个非0灰阶数据对应的子像素的共同灰阶数据,与0灰阶数据一起分别组成所述第一灰阶数据组和所述第二灰阶数据组。
将所述二元混色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组减去是第一灰阶数据组和所述第二灰阶数据组的差值数据组作为所述第三灰阶数据组。
将所述单元色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组中的任何一个0灰阶数据作为所述像素单元中所述红色子像素、所述绿色子像素和所述蓝色子像素的共同灰阶数据组成所述第一灰阶数据组和所述第二灰阶数据组。
将所述单元色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组作为第三灰阶数据组。
或者,将所述单元色像素单元110对应的所述原灰阶数据组中的非0灰阶数据对应的灰阶值的三分之一对应的灰阶数据,作为所述像素单元中非0灰阶数据对应的子像素的灰阶数据,与所述0灰阶数据一起分别组成所述第一灰阶数据组、所述第二灰阶数据组和所述第三灰阶数据组。
上述分组规则可概括如下:
假设某个像素单元110对应的原灰阶数据组转化成原灰阶值组为(A、B、C),即所述红色子像素111对应的灰阶值为A,所述绿色子像素112对应的灰阶值为B,所述蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值为C,当A>B>C时,即可判定所述蓝色子像素113对应的所述灰阶值为所述原灰阶值中的最小灰阶值,即最低灰阶值,所述最低灰阶值的正视角亮度与侧视角亮度的差异最大。为了减轻所述最低灰阶值的影响,现将所述最低灰阶值作为所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113共同的灰阶值,组成所述第一灰阶值组,即(C、C、C)。而将所述原灰阶数据中所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值分别减去所述最低灰阶值的差值组中的最小非0灰阶数据作为所述差值组中非0灰阶数据的共同灰阶数据,作为所述第二灰阶值组,即(B-C、B-C、0)。将所述原灰阶数据组中所述红色子像素111、所述绿色子像素112和所述蓝色子像素113对应的灰阶值分别减去所述第一灰阶值组和所述第二灰阶值组的差值作为所述第三灰阶值组,即(A-B、0、0)。如此设置,就能在所述第二灰阶值组中和所述第三灰阶值组中将所述最低灰阶值去除,消除所述最低灰阶值在所述第二灰阶值组和所述第三灰阶值组显示时对大视角情况下色偏的影响,而在三组灰阶值连续显示的总体效果中,由液晶显示大视角情况下个单元色的亮度变化特性可知,分解后的主色灰阶值之和相对低灰阶值的比例得到了提升,因此,不仅使侧视角下的色偏有所改善,还使得主色的亮度得到了提升。
上述的分组规则中将二元混色和单元色对应的原灰阶数据组分解成全0灰阶数据的灰阶数据组的目的是为了和三元混色的灰阶数据组的执行控制方式保持同步,便于驱动和控制。
此外,驱动方法还包括将所述像素单元的驱动频率提升为原来的1至4倍,以补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度。将原本一个灰阶值分解成三个灰阶值在三个连续的时间段内显示,使得画面的显示时间变成了原来的三倍,即显示速度降低为原来的三分之一,为了补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度,可将驱动频率提高。
在其中一个实施例中,将所述像素单元的驱动频率提升为原来的3倍,以维持经过灰阶值分解后的像素单元的显示速度与灰阶值分解前的显示速度相同。如此设置,是为了使灰阶值分解显示后的画面流畅效果与原灰阶数据显示的画面流畅效果基本相同,在不损害原有的视觉效果下,改善液晶显示的色偏问题。
所述驱动方法还包括将所述背光单元320亮度提升为原来的1至4倍,以补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的亮度。因为灰阶值分解的过程是将原高灰阶值分解成了三个新的低灰阶值,即实际中由一组高电压信号,被分解成了三组低电压信号,因而亮度会降低。另一方面,由于将原本一个灰阶值分解成三个灰阶值在三个连续的时间段内显示,使得画面的显示时间变成了原来的三倍,即显示速度降低为原来的三分之一,为了补偿因灰阶值分解而降低的显示速度,一般还会将驱动频率提高,驱动频率提高后还为因为其每组灰阶数据组实际显示的时间较原驱动频率时小而造成亮度降低。例如,将原驱动频率提高为原驱动频率的三倍,则驱动信号实际显示时间变为原驱动信号时间的1/3而造成亮度降低。为了补偿因灰阶值分解,或驱动频率的提高,或灰阶值分解和驱动频率的提高共同作用下而降低的亮度,可将背光亮度提升。
在其中一个实施例中,将所述背光单元320亮度提升为原来的3倍,以维持经过灰阶值分解后的像素单元亮度与灰阶值分解前的亮度相同。如此设置,是为了使灰阶值分解显示后的效果与原灰阶数据显示的效果基本相同,在不损害原有的视觉效果下,改善液晶显示的色偏问题。
上述方法,通过判断像素单元待显示的原灰阶数据组对应颜色的类型,并根据像素单元待显示的原灰阶数据组对应颜色的类型将原灰阶数据组按照设定的分组规则分成第一灰阶数据组、第二灰阶数据组和第三灰阶数据组分别在三个连续的时间段内输出显示。提高了主色调的亮度比例,使得大视角主色调受到低电压子像素影响的色偏情况获得改善。增加了大视角情况下的主信号亮度呈现。同时,通过背光亮度提升为原亮度的3倍可以维持整体画质显示的亮度不变,通过提高驱动频率为原驱动频率的3倍,可以维持整体画质 显示的速度不变。此外,还不需要在液晶显示板上进行额外的布线。
根据上述的液晶显示装置的驱动方法,本申请还提供了一种采用了所述驱动方法的液晶显示装置。
