具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本申请进行说明。本文所描述的具体实施例仅仅用于解释本申请,而非对本申请的限定。为了便于描述,附图中仅示出了与本申请相关的部分而非全部结构。贯穿本文中,相同或相似的附图标号代表相同或相似的结构、元件或流程。本申请实施例提供了一种显示装置,包括主板、 可编程器件、显示面板和多个驱动芯片,显示面板的子像素按照第一子像素排列方式排列,显示面板包括沿子像素排列的行方向设置的多个显示区,第一显示区和第二显示区为相邻的两个显示区,围绕第一显示区与第二显示区之间的边界设置有位于第一显示区的第一边界区和位于第二显示区的第二边界区。主板与可编程器件电连接,设置为向可编程器件发送对应第一显示区的第一原始数据和对应第二显示区的第二原始数据,可编程器件与多个驱动芯片电连接,设置为将包含有第一原始数据和对应第二边界区的第一冗余数据的第一数据发送至第一驱动芯片,以及将包含有第二原始数据和对应第一边界区的第二冗余数据的第二数据发送至第二驱动芯片;其中,第一原始数据、第二原始数据、第一冗余数据和第二冗余数据均为具有第二子像素排列方式的图像数据,第一驱动芯片与显示面板电连接,设置为根据对应第一子像素排列方式的算法以及第一数据驱动第一显示区进行显示,第二驱动芯片与显示面板电连接,设置为根据对应第一子像素排列方式的算法以及第二数据驱动第二显示区进行显示。
SPR(Sub-pixel Rendering,子像素渲染)技术与Real RGB子像素排列相比,SPR子像素排列可以有效提高显示装置的PPI,以及减少驱动芯片的通道数,因而SPR技术已经得到了广泛的应用。
针对中大尺寸的显示装置,单个驱动芯片无法支持显示装置的显示,需要采用两个或者更多的驱动芯片,并相应地将显示面板的显示区划分为由多个驱动芯片驱动的多个显示区域。对于SPR像素排列的显示面板,驱动芯片要实现SPR算法,需要获取到与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区的冗余数据,但是客户端无法向驱动芯片提供与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区的冗余数据,驱动芯片也就无法获取与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区的冗余数据,进而导致驱动芯片无法进行正常的SPR算法,在相邻显示区之间的边界附近会出现分屏问题或者出现亮线或者暗线问题。
可以利用专门定制的驱动芯片实现相邻显示区对应的驱动芯片之间冗余数据的传输,例如可以利用串行外设接口(Serial Peripheral Interface,SPI)接口或者集成电路总线(Inter-Integrated Circuit,I 2C)接口实现驱动芯片之间冗余数据的传输,但是这种专门定制的驱动芯片价格昂贵,无疑增加了显示装置的生产成本,而常规的驱动芯片又无法为与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区所对应的驱动芯片提供冗余数据,客户端也无法为驱动芯片提供相应的冗余数据,对于SPR像素排列的显示面板,也就无法避免在相邻显示区之间的边界附近会出现分屏问题或者出现亮线或者暗线问题。
本申请实施例提供的显示装置利用可编程器件使得第一驱动芯片能够获取包含有对应第二边界区的第一冗余数据的第一数据,以及使得第二驱动芯片能 够获取包含有对应第一边界区的第二冗余数据的第二数据,进而使得第一驱动芯片以及第二驱动芯片能够进行正常的对应第一子像素排列方式的算法,有效避免了当显示面板中的子像素按照第一子像素排列方式排列时,对应不同驱动芯片的相邻显示区出现分屏或者出现亮线等异常显示问题。
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。图1为本申请实施例提供的一种显示装置的结构示意图。如图1所示,显示装置包括主板1、可编程器件2、显示面板3和多个驱动芯片,图1仅示例性地示出显示装置包括第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42两个驱动芯片,显示面板3的子像素按照第一子像素排列方式排列,显示面板3包括沿子像素排列的行方向设置的多个显示区,第一显示区A1和第二显示区A2为相邻的两个显示区,围绕第一显示区A1与第二显示区A2之间的边界a设置有位于第一显示区A1的第一边界区B1和位于第二显示区A2的第二边界区B2。
主板1与可编程器件2电连接,设置为向可编程器件2发送对应第一显示区A1的第一原始数据和对应第二显示区A2的第二原始数据,图1中的箭头d1表示主板1发送的第一原始数据,箭头d2表示主板1发送的第二原始数据,可编程器件2与第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42电连接,设置为将包含有第一原始数据d1和对应第二边界区B2的第一冗余数据的第一数据d10发送至第一驱动芯片41,以及将包含有第二原始数据d2和对应第一边界区B1的第二冗余数据的第二数据d20发送至第二驱动芯片42,第一原始数据d1、第二原始数据d2、第一冗余数据和第二冗余数据均为具有第二子像素排列方式的图像数据。
可选的,可以设置第一子像素排列方式为SPR排列,即像素之间存在子像素的借用关系,例如相邻的三个像素分别包括R像素和G像素、B像素和R像素以及G像素和B像素,相邻的像素彼此关联,可以设置第二子像素排列方式为Real RGB排列,即每个像素由R像素、G像素和B像素三个子像素组成。第一原始数据d1和第二原始数据d2为具有第二子像素排列方式的图像数据,即第一原始数据d1为对应第一显示区A1且对应Real RGB排列的子像素的图像数据,第二原始数据d2为对应第二显示区A2且对应Real RGB排列的子像素的图像数据。第一冗余数据和第二冗余数据同样均为具有第二子像素排列方式的图像数据,第一冗余数据为对应第二边界区B2且对应Real RGB排列的子像素的图像数据,第二冗余数据为对应第一边界区B1且对应Real RGB排列的子像素的图像数据。
示例性地,可编程器件2可以采用现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)芯片或者复杂可编程逻辑器件(Complex Programmable Logic Device,CPLD)芯片,可以将第一冗余数据和第二冗余数据提前烧录在可编程 器件2中,可编程器件2接收主板1发送的第一原始数据d1和第二原始数据d2,在可编程器件2向第一驱动芯片41提供第一数据d10以及向第二驱动芯片42提供第二数据d20时,可编程器件2则可以调用相应的第一冗余数据和第二冗余数据使得第一数据d10包含有对应第一显示区A1的第一原始数据d1以及对应第二边界区B2的第一冗余数据,以及使得第二数据d20包含有对应第二显示区A2的第二原始数据d2和对应第一边界区B1的第二冗余数据。
第一驱动芯片41与显示面板3电连接,设置为根据对应第一子像素排列方式的算法,即SPR算法以及第一数据d10驱动第一显示区A1进行显示,第二驱动芯片42与显示面板3电连接,设置为根据对应第一子像素排列方式的算法,即SPR算法以及第二数据d20驱动第二显示区A2进行显示。
可选的,针对多个驱动芯片驱动显示装置进行显示的情况,驱动芯片之间采用级联的方式,一个驱动芯片为主控驱动芯片,启用时序控制器(Timing Controller,TCON)功能,其余驱动芯片为从属驱动芯片,关闭TCON功能并接收主控驱动芯片发出的同步信号,即所有从属驱动芯片遵从主动驱动芯片的驱动时序,本申请实施例对第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42中哪个驱动芯片为主控驱动芯片不作限定。
可选的,第一驱动芯片41接收到包含有Real RGB格式的对应第一显示区A1的第一原始数据d1以及对应第二边界区B2的第一冗余数据的第一数据d10,并采用SPR算法将Real RGB格式的第一数据d10转换为SPR格式的图像数据,并对应转换后的图像数据向显示面板3的第一显示区A1中的子像素发送发光驱动信号。同样的,第二驱动芯片42接收到包含有Real RGB格式的对应第二显示区A2的第二原始数据d2以及对应第一边界区B1的第二冗余数据的第二数据d20,并采用SPR算法将Real RGB格式的第二数据d20转换为SPR格式的图像数据,并对应转换后的图像数据向显示面板3的第二显示区A2中的子像素发送发光驱动信号。
可编程器件2的设置使得第一驱动芯片41能够获取对应第二边界区B2的第一冗余数据,以及使得第二驱动芯片42能够获取对应第一边界区B1的第二冗余数据,进而使得第一驱动芯片41以及第二驱动芯片42能够进行正常的SPR算法,即第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42能够将Real RGB格式的图像数据转换为SPR格式的图像数据,解决了主板无法向驱动芯片提供与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区的冗余数据,驱动芯片也就无法获取与该驱动芯片对应的显示区相邻的显示区的冗余数据,进而导致驱动芯片无法进行正常的SPR算法,在相邻显示区之间的边界附近会出现分屏问题或者出现亮线或者暗线问题的同时,无需使用专门定制的驱动芯片,仅需常规驱动芯片即可实现相邻显 示区域对应的冗余数据的获取,降低了显示装置实现SPR技术的成本。
图1仅示例性地设置显示装置包括第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42两个驱动芯片,且显示面板3包括第一显示区A1和第二显示区A2两个显示区,也可以设置显示面板包括更多的显示区和驱动芯片,第一显示区A1和第二显示区A2可以表示任意两个相邻的显示区,第一驱动芯片41和第二驱动芯片42则为对应前述任意两个相邻显示区的驱动芯片。另外,第一显示区A1与第二显示区A2之间具有边界a,围绕该边界a限定出一个边界区,边界区位于第一显示区A1的部分定义为第一边界区B1,边界区位于第二显示区A2的部门定义为第二边界区B2,边界区的尺寸取决于第一驱动芯片41以及第二驱动芯片42在执行像素格式的转换时,即将Real RGB格式的原始数据以及冗余数据转换为SPR格式的图像数据时需要借用的像素个数,本申请实施例对边界区的尺寸不作限定。将Real RGB格式的图像数据通过算法转换为SPR格式的图像数据。
