具体实施方式
为使本公开的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本公开实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
为了便于理解对本申请提供的方案,下面先对显示器进行简单说明:
显示器包括显示面板和该显示面板的驱动电路。其中,显示面板的作用是发光显示图像,驱动电路用于提供显示面板显示所需的信号,通过这些信号控制显示面板的工作。
对于不同类型的显示器,显示面板的结构也有所不同。以液晶显示器为例,液晶显示器的显示面板包括阵列基板、与阵列基板对盒设置的彩膜基板以及夹设在阵列基板和彩膜基板之间的液晶层。阵列基板包括栅线和数据线,栅线与 数据线交叉构成多个子像素区域,子像素区域中设置有像素驱动电路,像素驱动电路用于控制对应的像素单元发光。示例性地,像素驱动电路包括一个薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT),该TFT的栅极连接栅线,该TFT的源极连接数据线,该TFT的漏极连接像素电极,通过栅线能够控制该TFT的通断,从而控制是否将数据线的信号写入像素电极。这里,显示器除了液晶显示器外,还可以是有机发光二极管显示器等其他类型显示器。
驱动电路的作用是为栅线和数据线提供信号,从而控制显示面板工作。驱动电路通常包括计数器控制寄存器(Timer Control Register,TCON)电路、栅极驱动电路和源极驱动电路。其中,TCON电路用于提供支持栅极驱动电路和源极驱动电路工作的多种电压信号,如起始信号(STV)、时钟信号(CLK)、低电平信号(VSS)、降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE)等,栅极驱动电路和源极驱动电路采用TCON电路输出的这些信号,分别生成栅极驱动信号和源极驱动信号。
可选地,TCON电路、源极驱动电路和栅极驱动电路可以分别采用集成电路板实现。此外,栅极驱动电路可以采用移位寄存器,也即阵列上栅极(Gate On Array,GOA)的方式设置在显示面板中,也即采用显示面板中的移位寄存器单元(GOA单元)作为栅极驱动电路。
图1是一种驱动电路的部分结构示意图,该示意图主要示出了与栅极驱动相关的TCON电路部分,未示出与源极驱动相关的TCON电路部分(如伽马Gamma电路)。参见图1,该驱动电路包括电源管理集成电路(Power Management IC,PMIC)10、电平转换(Level Shift,L/S)电路30和TCON IC 30(以下简称TCON),L/S电路20分别与PMIC 10和TCON 30电连接。
其中,PMIC 10用于根据输入信号Vin输出数字电源信号(DVDD)、模拟电源信号(AVDD)、半模拟电源信号(HAVDD)、栅极高电平信号(VGH)、栅极低电平信号(VGL)等信号。TCON 30内部集成了晶振,能够产生时钟信号CLKT(该时钟信号的低电平为0V、高电平为3.3V),L/S电路20用于根据PMIC和TCON输出的信号生成STV、CLK、VSS、VDDO、VDDE、VGL、VGH等信号并提供给栅极驱动电路40。栅极驱动电路40在L/S电路20输出的信号控制下输出信号(Gout信号)给栅线,该Gout信号在工作时间段为VGL或VGH。这里,L/S电路20输出给栅极驱动电路40的VGL和VGH就是PMIC 10输出给L/S电路20的VGL和VGH,栅极驱动电路40根据CLK信号的电平高低, 来确定向显示面板的哪根栅线输出VGH,哪根栅线输出VGL。需要说明的是,TCON除了执行上述栅极驱动的功能外,还需要执行源极驱动功能,例如将接收到的数据信息解调出来传输给源极驱动电路。
示例性地,栅极驱动电路40包括多个级联的GOA单元,GOA单元通常由多个开关(如薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT))和电容(C)组成,例如采用10个TFT和2个电容组成的10T2C电路,或者更多TFT和电容组成的电路。一个GOA单元通常包括输入模块、复位模块、降噪模块和输出模块等,其中,输入模块根据接收到的L/S电路20的输出信号向输出模块输出电信号,输出模块根据输入模块输出的电信号向显示面板输出栅极导通电平或栅极截止电平,降噪模块连接在输入模块和输出模块之间,在降噪模块工作时可以保持输出模块输入端的电压,使输出模块输出栅极截止电平。栅极驱动电路40除了包括上述模块外,还可以包括上拉模块、下拉模块等,在包括上拉模块和下拉模块的GOA单元中,降噪模块所起的作用与在前述GOA单元中所起的作用相同。
降噪模块通过降噪电压信号控制,在降噪电压信号为导通电平时工作,使得对应的GOA单元输出栅极截止电平(VGL或VGH)给显示面板的栅线,栅线将该栅极截止电平输出给所连接的TFT,控制该TFT处于截止状态。
值得说明的是,在栅极驱动电路40的一个GOA单元中,降噪模块通常有2个,2个降噪模块可以交替工作,2个降噪模块分别通过VDDO和VDDE控制,例如2个降噪模块在VDDO/VDDE高电平时导通,拉低栅极驱动电路40的输出到VGL,同时实现降噪。也即是,栅极驱动电路40包括第一降噪模块和第二降噪模块,第一降噪模块通过第一降噪电压信号控制,第二降噪模块通过第二降噪电压信号控制。
以高电平为导通电平为例,降噪模块在降噪电压信号为高电平时工作,将栅极驱动电路的输出拉低至VGL,从而控制显示面板的TFT断开,即控制显示面板的像素驱动电路不工作。相关技术中,在显示面板的上电时间段,降噪电压信号为低电平,所以无法控制降噪模块拉低栅极驱动电路的输出。而同时,栅极驱动电路会存在漏电现象(栅极驱动电路的输出存在漏电流),漏电流在显示面板内的TFT的栅极累积,导致显示面板内的TFT导通,显示面板的像素发光,造成开机闪屏。
图2是图1所示驱动电路的信号时序图,图3~图10分别是图2所示各路信 号的时序示意图。参见图2~图10,在上电时间段t1内,驱动电路的PMIC 10首先加载Vin信号,Vin输入后PMIC 10产生DVDD信号,DVDD信号作为PMIC 10、L/S电路20和TCON 30等的工作电压,PMIC 10和L/S电路20根据该工作电压生成其他信号。
如图2~图10所示,在上电时间段t1,栅极驱动电路的输出Gout信号(接近0V)高于VGL信号(即栅极截止信号),显示面板内的TFT在Gout信号的作用下会处于一定的导通状态,在后续像素电极有电荷后会导致像素发光,出现闪屏现象。
图11是本公开实施例提供的一种防闪屏电路的结构框图。参见图11,该防闪屏电路50应用于显示面板的驱动电路,该防闪屏电路50包括:
控制子电路51,被配置为在显示面板的上电时间段控制栅极驱动电路40输出栅极截止电平。
在本公开实施例中,上电时间段是指显示面板的驱动电路接通电源,并在电源作用下产生各种驱动信号的阶段。栅极截止电平是指控制显示面板内TFT处于截止状态的电平信号,也即是,栅极截止电平是控制显示面板内的像素驱动电路不工作,使得对应的像素单元不发光的电平信号。
在该方案中,通过在上电时间段内控制显示面板的栅极驱动电路输出栅极截止电平,该栅极截止电平被提供给显示面板内的TFT,使得显示面板内的TFT在上电时间段处于截止状态,在显示面板中的TFT处于截止状态时,显示面板的像素单元不会发光,消除了开机闪屏现象。
在一种可能的实施方式中,栅极驱动电路40包括降噪模块,降噪模块用于在接收到的降噪电压信号为导通电平时,将栅极驱动电路40的输出电平拉至栅极截止电平。控制子电路51,被配置为在上电时间段控制输出到降噪模块的降噪电压信号为导通电平。
通过在上电时间段内向栅极驱动电路40的降噪模块提供导通电平,该导通电平可以控制降噪模块工作,栅极驱动电路40的输出可以在上电时间段被降噪模块拉至栅极截止电平。
前述降噪模块中包括开关,该开关受到降噪电压信号控制,当降噪电压信号为导通电平时,驱动降噪模块中的开关导通,在栅极驱动电路40中降噪模块的开关导通时,栅极驱动电路40向显示面板的TFT输出栅极截止电平。例如, 降噪模块包括多个TFT,这多个TFT所起的作用不同,在这多个TFT中,至少一个TFT的作用是作为前述开关,也即在降噪电压信号的控制下导通或断开。
这里,栅极截止电平可以为前述VGL或者VGH,根据薄膜晶体管的类型不同,这里的栅极截止电平也不同,例如当薄膜晶体管为NMOS薄膜晶体管时,该栅极截止电平为VGL,当薄膜晶体管为PMOS薄膜晶体管时,该栅极截止电平为VGH。
在本公开实施例的一种实现方式中,控制子电路51,被配置为在上电时间段将驱动电路的外部输入电压信号(例如图1中的Vin)作为降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE),输出到降噪模块。
在该实现方式中,通过在上电时间段将驱动电路的外部输入电压信号Vin代替降噪模块的降噪电压信号输出给栅极驱动电路,使得在上电时间段,降噪模块的控制开关能够导通,降噪模块工作。这里,由于提供给显示面板的驱动电路的外部输入电压信号Vin是最先存在的信号,所以可以在上电时间段提供给栅极驱动电路的降噪模块。
以显示面板的栅线所连接的开关采用NMOS薄膜晶体管为例,降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE)用于在显示面板工作时间段输入给栅极驱动电路40的降噪模块中的开关,以降低开关的工作电压,从而达到降噪的目的。但根据图2所示的时序图可知,在上电时间段,该降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE)是跟随VGL的低电平,所以无法导通栅极驱动电路40内降噪模块中的开关导通,同时,栅极驱动电路40会存在漏电现象,漏电在显示面板内的TFT的栅极累积,最终能够导通显示面板内的TFT,造成开机闪屏。为了避免出现闪屏,本申请在上电时间段通过采用输入电压信号(Vin)替代降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE),该输入电压信号(Vin)为高电平,能够导通前述降噪模块中的开关。而通过在上电时间段将显示面板的外部输入电压信号代替栅极驱动电路的降噪电压信号输出给栅极驱动电路40,使得在上电时间段,栅极驱动电路40的开关能够导通,输出VGL信号给显示面板内的TFT,保持显示面板内的TFT断开,进而不会出现闪屏现象。
当然,这里的输入电压信号也可以采用Vin外的其他信号替代,只要是高电平信号且在上电时间段之前存在即可,本申请对此不做限制。
而在显示面板工作时间段,该控制子电路51,被配置为控制降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE)输出到降噪模块,从而使得栅极驱动电路40能够在工作时间 段正常工作。
如前所述,栅极驱动电路40具有两种降噪模块,即第一降噪模块和第二降噪模块,第一降噪模块用于在显示面板的工作时间段接收电平转换电路20输出的第一降噪电压信号,第二降噪模块用于在显示面板的工作时间段接收电平转换电路20输出的第二降噪电压信号,也即是,电平转换电路20用于为第一降噪模块提供第一降噪电压信号,为第二降噪模块提供第二降噪电压信号。这里,工作时间段是指显示面板正常工作,显示画面的阶段,当前述上电时间段结束时,显示面板即进入工作时间段。
图12是本公开实施例示出的一种防闪屏电路的结构示意图。参见图12,该防闪屏电路还可以包括:确定子电路52,被配置为根据第一降噪电压信号和第二降噪电压信号确定是否处于上电时间段。
在栅极驱动电路中,降噪模块有2种,相应地,提供给降噪模块的降噪电压信号有两路,分别为前述VDDO和VDDE,根据图2的时序可知,两路降噪电压信号的电压在上电时间段t1相等,而在工作时间段t2不等,因此,通过判断两路降噪电压信号的电压是否相等即可确定是否处于上电时间段。如果判断处于上电时间段,则采用前述方案消除闪屏,保证显示面板的正常工作。
示例性地,确定子电路52,被配置为判断第一降噪电压信号和第二降噪电压信号的电压是否相等,如前所述,根据两路降噪电压信号的电压是否相等,可以确定出是否处于上电时间段,第一降噪电压信号和第二降噪电压信号的电压相等,表示处于上电时间段。相应地,控制子电路51,被配置为在第一降噪电压信号和第二降噪电压信号的电压相等时,控制栅极驱动电路40输出栅极截止电平。
这里,确定子电路52的输入端与L/S电路20的输出端电连接,以获取L/S电路20输出的两路降噪电压信号(VDDO/VDDE)。
而控制子电路51的输入端与L/S电路20的输出端电连接,以获取L/S电路20输出的两路降噪电压信号(例如VDDO/VDDE);同时控制子电路51的输入端还与PMIC 10的输入端电连接,以获取外部输入电压信号(例如Vin)。
这里,确定子电路52的判断结果可以采用高低电平表示,例如确定子电路52输出低电平则表示判断结果为两路降噪电压信号的电压相等,确定子电路52输出高电平则表示判断结果为两路降噪电压信号不等。
图13是本公开实施例提供的一种防闪屏电路的详细结构示意图,参见图13, 确定子电路52可以包括:第一比较器521、第二比较器522和或门523。
第一比较器521和第二比较器522均包括:同相输入端(图中“+”所示)、反相输入端(图中“-”所示)和输出端;第一比较器521的同相输入端和第二比较器522的反相输入端均与L/S电路20的第一降噪电压信号输出端电连接,接收L/S电路20输出的第一降噪电压信号;第一比较器521的反相输入端和第二比较器522的同相输入端均与L/S电路20的第二降噪电压信号输出端电连接,接收L/S电路20输出的第二降噪电压信号。
或门523的两个输入端分别与第一比较器521和第二比较器522的输出端电连接,或门523的输出端与控制子电路51的控制端电连接。
假设比较器的两个输入信号的电压分别为VIN+(同相输入端信号的电压)和VIN-(反相输入端信号的电压),当VIN+>VIN-时,输出“1”(低电平),当VIN+≤VIN-时,输出“0”(高电平)。所以,当2路降噪电压信号的电压相等时,两个比较器均输出0,或门输出为0;当2路降噪电压信号的电压不相等时,两个比较器的输出分别为0和1,或门输出为1。通过或门的输出来表示两路降噪电压信号的电压是否相等,从而确定出是否处于上电时间段。
其中,第一比较器521和第二比较器522可以为相同的比较器。第一比较器521和第二比较器522可以采用差分放大器实现。
再次参见图13,控制子电路51可以包括:第一选择器511和第二选择器512。
第一选择器511包括:控制端、两个输入端和输出端。第一选择器511的两个输入端分别与L/S电路20的第一降噪电压信号输出端和显示面板的PMIC10的外部输入电压信号输入端电连接。第一选择器511的控制端与确定子电路52的输出端电连接。第一选择器511被配置为在确定子电路52的输出信号的控制下,通过第一选择器511的输出端输出第一降噪电压信号和外部输入电压信号中的一个。
第二选择器512包括:控制端、两个输入端和输出端。第二选择器512的两个输入端分别与L/S电路20的第二降噪电压信号输出端和PMIC 10的外部输入电压信号输入端电连接。第二选择器512的控制端与确定子电路52的输出端电连接;第二选择器512被配置为在确定子电路52的输出信号的控制下,通过第二选择器512的输出端输出第二降噪电压信号和外部输入电压信号中的一个。
其中,第一降噪信号输出端用于输出第一降噪电压信号,第二降噪信号输 出端用于输出第二降噪电压信号。例如,第一降噪电压信号输出端可以为VDDO降噪电压信号输出端,第二降噪电压信号输出端可以为VDDE降噪电压信号输出端。外部输入电压信号输入端用于接收显示面板的外部输入电压信号。
在该实现方式中,通过2个选择器来控制两路降噪电压信号的输出;在确定子电路输出表示两路降噪电压信号的电压相等时,选择器选择驱动电路的外部输入电压信号进行输出,也即上电时间段,采用Vin控制降噪模块工作;在确定子电路输出表示两路降噪电压信号不等时,选择器选择两路降噪电压信号中的一路进行输出,也即分别采用VDDO和VDDE控制第一降噪模块和第二降噪模块工作,VDDO和VDDE中始终有1个为高电平,保持其中一个降噪模块工作。上述方案实现了在开机时消除闪屏,在工作时保证显示面板正常工作。
其中,第一选择器511和第二选择器512可以为相同的选择器。由于第一选择器511和第二选择器512是受确定子电路52的输出信号控制,低电平触发,即输入“0”(低电平)时有效,采用Vin作为输出(即以高电平作为输出),输入“1”(高电平)时无效,采用VDDO/VDDE作为输出(即以低电平作为输出),所以也可以被称为高低电平转换器。
结合图13所示的详细结构可知,本申请在消除开机闪屏时,仅在原有电路的基础上,增加比较器、门电路和选择器,电路设计简单,成本低。同时,该方案通用性好,可以用于现有的各种显示器的驱动电路中。
图14和图15是采用本申请提供的防闪屏电路后驱动电路的信号时序图。参见图14和图15,在采用防闪屏电路后,在上电时间段t1,Gout信号为VGL信号,显示面板内的TFT在Gout信号的作用下会处于截止状态,显示面板不发生闪屏。在上电时间段t1,Gout信号可以为VGL,也可以为VGH,这里仅仅是一种示例。

可选地,防闪屏电路可以集成在显示器的逻辑板上,栅极驱动电路可以为 显示面板上的GOA单元,或者,栅极驱动电路可以为单独的集成电路。
