示例性地,参见图1,显示装置1包括显示面板10、时序控制器20、栅极驱动电路30和源极驱动电路40。
参见图1,显示面板10具有显示区(Active Area)和周边区S。其中,周边区S位于显示区AA至少一侧。示例性地,周边区S可以围绕显示区AA一圈设置。显示面板10可以是OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)面板、QLED(Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes,量子点发光二极管)面板、LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示器)面板、微LED(包括:miniLED或microLED)面板等,对此不作过多限制。为了表述简便,以下以显示面板10为OLED面板为例进 行说明。
示例性地,参见图1,显示面板10可以包括多条信号线,例如栅线(Gate Line,GL),数据线(Data Line,DL),以及其他驱动控制信号线(例如发光控制信号线)等。其中,栅线可以用来传输栅极驱动信号GDS,数据线被配置为传输数据电压DV(数据电流或数据信号),驱动控制信号线(例如发光控制信号线)可以用来传输驱动控制信号(例如发光控制信号)。沿第一方向Y依次排布的多条栅线依次为GL1~GLm,沿第二方向X依次排布的多条数据线依次为DL1~DLn,m和n均为正整数。多条栅线彼此平行设置,多条数据线也彼此平行设置,多条栅线和多条数据线交叉设置,例如相互垂直设置。
示例性地,参见图1,显示面板10还可以包括多个子像素P,多个子像素P位于显示区AA。示例性地,多个子像素P可以呈阵列排布。例如,沿第二方向X排列成一排的子像素P称为同一行子像素P,沿第一方向Y排列成一排的子像素P称为同一列子像素P。多个子像素P可以包括被配置为发出第一颜色光线的第一颜色子像素、被配置为发出第二颜色光线的第二颜色子像素和被配置为发出第三颜色光线的第三颜色子像素。例如,第一颜色、第二颜色和第三颜色分别为红色、绿色和蓝色。

不同类型的显示面板所采用的发光器件L的类型不同。与显示面板的类型相对应的,发光器件L可以为LED、OLED或QLED等。发光器件L包括阴极和阳极,以及位于阴极和阳极之间的发光功能层。其中,发光功能层可以包括发光层(Emission layer,EML)、位于发光层和阳极之间的空穴传输层(Hole Transporting Layer,HTL)、位于发光层和阴极之间的电子传输层(Election Transporting Layer,ETL)。当然,根据需要在一些实施例中,还可以在空穴传输层HTL和阳极之间设置空穴注入层(Hole Injection Layer,HIL),可以在电子传输层ETL和阴极之间设置电子注入层(Election Injection Layer,EIL)。
示例性地,阳极例如可由具有高功函数的透明导电材料形成,其电 极材料可以包括氧化铟锡(ITO)、氧化铟锌(IZO)、氧化铟镓(IGO)、氧化镓锌(GZO)氧化锌(ZnO)、氧化铟(In2O3)、氧化铝锌(AZO)和碳纳米管等中的任一种或组合。阴极例如可由高导电性和低功函数的材料形成,其电极材料可以包括镁铝合金(MgAl)和锂铝合金(LiAl)等合金中的任一种或组合,以及镁(Mg)、铝(Al)、锂(Li)和银(Ag)等金属单质中的任一种或组合。发光层的材料可以根据其发射光颜色的不同进行选择。例如,发光层的材料包括荧光发光材料或磷光发光材料。例如,在本公开至少一个实施例中,发光层可以采用掺杂体系,即在主体发光材料中混入掺杂材料来得到可用的发光材料。例如,主体发光材料可以采用金属化合物材料、蒽的衍生物、芳香族二胺类化合物、三苯胺化合物、芳香族三胺类化合物、联苯二胺衍生物和三芳胺聚合物等。
像素电路110的具体结构可以根据实际情况进行设计,本公开的实施例对此不作限定。示例性地,像素电路110可以由晶体管、电容器(Capacitance,简称C)等电子器件组成。晶体管可以为薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,简称TFT),或者可以为场效应晶体管(Field Effect Transistor,简称TFE)等。例如,参见图2,像素电路110可以包括两个晶体管(一个开关晶体管T1和一个驱动晶体管T2)和一个电容器C,构成2T1C结构;又例如,像素电路110还可以包括两个以上的晶体管(多个开关晶体管和一个驱动晶体管)和至少一个电容器C,例如,像素电路110可以包括一个电容器C和七个晶体管(六个开关晶体管和一个驱动晶体管),构成7T1C结构。
参见图2,以像素电路为2T1C结构进行示例说明。发光器件L的一极(例如阳极)与像素电路耦接,发光器件L的另一极(例如阴极)与第二电源电压端ELVSS耦接;该第二电源电压端ELVSS被配置为传输直流电压,例如直流低电压。例如,响应于栅极驱动信号,开关晶体管T1导通,响应于数据信号,驱动晶体管T2的控制极g与漏极d耦接,并将由数据电压施加到驱动晶体管T2的控制极g,第一电源电压端ELVDD与第二电源电压端ELVSS之间的电流通路导通,基于驱动晶体管T2的控制极g的电压与第一电源电压信号(第一电源电压端ELVDD所接收到的信号)之间的电压差产生的驱动电流,通过电流通路传输至发光器件L,驱动发光器件L发光。
示例性地,参见图1,时序控制器20可以接收来自系统(例如,显示装置1中的主板)的初始图像数据ID和同步控制信号TCS,产生栅极 控制信号GCS(Gate Control Signal)、图像数据RGB和源极控制信号SCS。
其中,输入至时序控制器20中的同步控制信号TCS可以包括主时钟信号(或者称为数据采样时钟)、行同步信号(Hsync,简称为HS)、场同步信号(Vsync,简称为VS)和数据使能信号(Data Enable,简称为DE)等多种信号。时序控制器20基于初始图像数据ID和同步控制信号TCS生成图像数据、栅极控制信号GCS和源极控制信号SCS。具体地,图像数据RGB可以是通过校正初始图像数据ID而生成的,例如,图像数据RGB可以是由初始图像数据ID经过图像质量校正、光点校正、颜色特性补偿和/或有源电容补偿等得到的。图像数据RGB可以包括不同子像素P的红色灰度数据、绿色灰度数据和蓝色灰度数据。
示例性地,参见图1,时序控制器20可以将产生的栅极控制信号GCS输出给栅极驱动电路30。栅极驱动电路30接收并响应于栅极控制信号GCS,生成多个栅极驱动信号GDS,并将多个栅极驱动信号GDS分别输出给显示面板中的多条栅线GL1~GLm,以控制与多条栅线GL1~GLm耦接的各行子像素P的选通。其中,栅极控制信号GCS可以包括帧起始(Start Vertical,STV)信号、扫描时钟脉冲(Clock Pulse Vertical,CPV)信号、使能(Output Enable,OE)信号等。其中,STV信号为一帧显示画面扫描开始的起始信号,CPV为栅极驱动电路30的时钟信号,一个周期代表一行栅极驱动信号GDS的输出,OE信号的设置会影响栅极驱动信号GDS的输出波形。
示例性地,栅极驱动电路30可以逐行扫描多行子像素P,即按照从第一行子像素P到最后一行子像素P的顺序,依次向多条栅线GL1~GLm输入栅极驱动信号GDS。
在一种可能的实现方式中,栅极驱动电路30中可以包括至少一个(例如多个)栅极驱动器300,每个栅极驱动器300均与时序控制器20耦接。例如,栅极驱动电路30中包括多个栅极驱动器300,按照多个栅极驱动器300排列的顺序,第一个栅极驱动器300与时序控制器20耦接,其余的栅极驱动器300与前一个栅极驱动器300耦接,即多个栅极驱动器300之间依次级联。具体地,栅极驱动器300可以以芯片的形式安装在显示面板10上,也可以以带载封装(Tape Carrier Package,TCP)或覆晶薄膜(Chip On Film,COF)的形式连接到显示面板10。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,栅极驱动电路30可以包括至少一个 (例如多个)GOA(Gate driver On Array)电路,用于向栅线提供栅极驱动信号GDS,从而有利于减少外接芯片的绑定(Bonding)工序,有利于提升产能并降低产品成本,而且可以使显示装置1的边框更窄,实现更好的显示效果。
示例性地,对显示装置1的驱动方式不作过多限制,显示装置1的驱动方式可以为单边驱动,或者为双边驱动。例如,参见图1,显示装置1的驱动方式为单边驱动,栅极驱动电路30中包括多个栅极驱动器300,沿多条数据线的排布方向(即第二方向X),多个栅极驱动器300均位于多条数据线的同一侧。
示例性地,继续参见图1,时序控制器20可以将产生的图像数据RGB和源极数据传输控制信号SCS输出给源极驱动电路40。具体地,对时序控制器20将图像数据RGB和源极控制信号SCS输出给源极驱动电路40的信号格式不作过多限制,该信号格式可以为低压差分信号(Low Voltage Differential Signaling,LVDS)、嵌入式显示信号(Embedded Display Port,eDP)、晶体管-晶体管逻辑信号(Transistor to Transistor Logic,TTL)、mini LVDS信号等多种信号格式中的任一种,本领域技术人员可以根据需要自行设置。例如,时序控制器20将图像数据和源极控制信号编码为LVDS信号,然后输出给源极驱动电路40。相较于其他信号格式,LVDS信号具有数据传输速率高、低噪声、低功耗和传输距离远等特点,有利于实现更好的信号传输效果。
示例性地,源极控制信号SCS可以包括行起始信号(Start Horizontal,STH)、行时钟脉冲信号(Clock Pulse Horizontal,CPH)、数据传输控制信号(标记为TP或STB)等多种信号。其中,行起始信号代表一行子像素P数据传输的开始;行时钟脉冲信号为源极驱动电路40的时钟信号;数据传输控制信号用于控制源极驱动电路40将来自时序控制器的图像数据RGB转换为多个数据电压DV,并向显示面板10中的多条数据线DL1~DLn分别输出多个数据电压DV,以向选通的各行子像素P中分别输入多个数据电压DV,从而使得各个子像素P在电场的作用下呈现对应的颜色。具体地,源极驱动电路40可以按照从第一行子像素P到最后一行子像素P的顺序,依次向多行子像素P中分别输入多个数据电压DV。
示例性地,源极驱动电路40中可以包括至少一个(例如一个或多个)源极驱动器400,每个源极驱动电路40均与时序控制器20耦接。源极 驱动器400同样可以以芯片、带载封装或覆晶薄膜等形式进行设置,对此不作过多限制。例如,参见图1,当源极驱动电路40中包括一个源极驱动器400时,显示装置中的多条数据线DL1~DLn均与该源极驱动器400耦接。又例如,源极驱动电路40中包括多个源极驱动器400,显示装置中的多条数据线DL1~DLn可以划分为多个数据线组(图中未示出),每个数据线组中的多条数据线与同一个源极驱动器400耦接。
继续参见图1,显示装置1朝着大尺寸、高分辨率的方向发展,随着显示装置1尺寸的增大,沿第二方向X,栅线的长度增大,沿第一方向Y,数据线的长度增大,相应的,栅线和数据线的电阻值也增大。栅线和数据线交叉设置,随着显示装置1分辨率的提高,栅线和数据线的数量增多,栅线和数据线之间交叉位置的数量增多,寄生电容增大。电阻值和寄生电容的增大使得栅线和数据线均具有较大的电阻电容负载(RC Loading),在信号传输过程中,较大的RC Loading会使所传输信号的强度减弱,出现较大程度的信号衰减。对栅线而言,较大的RC Loading会导致栅线上远离栅极驱动电路30的位置处,栅极驱动信号GDS的波形严重失真。
示例性地,参见图1,多条数据线DL1~DLn包括第一数据线DLa和第二数据线DLb,同一行子像素P中包括第一子像素P1和第二子像素P2,其中,第一子像素P1与第一数据线DLa耦接,第二子像素P2与第二数据线DLb耦接。沿第二方向X,第一数据线DLa位于第二数据线DLb靠近栅极驱动电路30的一侧,第一数据线DLa和第二数据线DLb可以相邻,也可以两者之间还间隔有至少一条(例如一条或多条数据线)。图1以第一数据线DLa和第二数据线DLb相邻作为示例,沿第二方向X,第一子像素P1也位于第二子像素P2靠近栅极驱动电路30的一侧。第一子像素P1和第二子像素P2与同一条栅线GL1耦接,其中,与第一子像素P1相耦接的栅线部分为第一栅线部分LP1,与第二子像素P2相耦接的栅线部分为第二栅线部分LP2。对这条栅线GL1而言,由于RC Loading的存在,第二栅线部分LP2所传输的栅极驱动信号GDS的衰减程度,大于第一栅线部分LP所传输的栅极驱动信号GDS的衰减程度。
结合前述的图2中的像素电路,当栅极驱动信号GDS的电位高于像素电路中开关晶体管T1的开启电压Von时,开关晶体管的源极和漏极导通,从而能够向子像素P中写入数据电压DV,而当栅极驱动信号GDS的电位低于像素电路中开关晶体管的关闭电压Voff时,开关晶体管关闭, 数据电压DV无法写入。参见图1和图3,对第e条栅线GLe而言,栅线GLe中的第一栅线部分LP1和第二栅线部分LP2所传输的栅极驱动信号GDS的波形如图4所示,e为正整数,且e≤m-1。栅线GLe中的第一栅线部分LP1所传输的栅极驱动信号GDS的电位达到Von所需的时长为t1,而由于RC Loading引起的信号衰减,栅线GLe中的第二栅线部分LP2所传输的栅极驱动信号GDS的电位达到Von所需的时长为t2,t2>t1,也即相较于与第一栅线部分LP1耦接的第一子像素P1中的开关晶体管(以下称为第一开关晶体管),与第二栅线部分LP2耦接的第二子像素P2中的开关晶体管(以下称为第二开关晶体管)的开启延迟,使得数据电压DV无法正常写入第二子像素P2中,在此情况下,第二子像素P2的充电率低于第一子像素P1的充电率,充电不足的第二子像素P2的发光亮度低于第一子像素P1的发光亮度,最终对显示效果产生不良影响。
此外,RC Loading引起的信号衰减同样会影响到开关晶体管的关闭。继续参见图1和图3,第一开关晶体管关闭所需的时长为t3,第二开关晶体管关闭所需的时长为t4,t4>t3,也即相较于第一开关晶体管,第二开关晶体管的关闭延迟,导致第e+1行子像素P的数据电压DV写入时,可能会同时向第e行子像素P中误写入第e+1行子像素P的数据电压DV,使得显示装置1出现显色不均的风险增大,不利于显示质量的提升。
为了降低出现前述的问题的风险,参见图4,本公开的一些实施例提供了一种源极驱动器400,包括数据缓冲器420,数模转换器440和输出缓冲器450等电路模块。应当理解的是,本公开中仅介绍了与本公开实施例有关的电路模块,而省略了其他无关的电路模块。
示例性地,参见图4,数据缓冲器420被配置为接收和锁存图像数据RGB,并响应于数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1输出图像数据RGB。具体地,数据缓冲器420包括数据接收器421和数据缓存器422,数据接收器421和数据缓存器422是并行工作的,数据接收器421依序取好第i-1(i为正整数,i≤m)行子像素的图像数据RGB后,将这些图像数据RGB同时送入数据缓存器422。数据缓存器422存储好第i-1行子像素的图像数据RGB后经后续电路模块的处理,把第i-1行子像素的数据电压输出给第i-1行子像素。与此同时,数据接收器421接收第i行子像素的图像数据RGB。数据接收器421和数据缓存器422并行工作, 可以提高源极驱动器400的工作效率。具体地,数据接收器421可以包括用于寄存图像数据RGB的多个数据接收单元(图中未示出),数据缓存器422可以包括用于输出图像数据RGB的多个数据缓存单元(图中未示出)。多个数据接收单元的数目和与该源极驱动器400耦接的数据线DL的条数以及图像数据RGB的输入位数有关。例如,该源极驱动器400与n条数据线DL均耦接,每个子像素的色深为8bit,则需要的输入缓冲单元的个数为8n个,同理,需要的输出端缓冲单元的个数也为8n个。
示例性地,参见图4和图5,数据传输控制信号STB可以是控制命令(也可以说是控制命令数据),包括:控制命令开始时长(STB Start)和控制命令脉宽时长(STB Width)。同时,数据传输控制信号STB具有第一触发时刻L1和第二触发时刻L2。其中,控制命令开始时长从前一行子像素P的最后一个数据电压DV输出完成的时刻开始,到数据缓冲器420开始输出后一行子像素P的图像数据RGB的时刻结束。控制命令脉宽时长从开始输出后一行子像素P的图像数据RGB的时刻开始,到开始向显示面板输出后一行子像素P的数据电压DV的时刻结束。控制命令开始时长的结束时刻,与控制命令脉宽时长的开始时刻同时达到,该到达时刻为数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1;控制命令脉宽时长的结束时刻,为数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2。在第一触发时刻L1,锁存输入到源极驱动器400中的图像数据RGB,在第二触发时刻L2,将图像数据RGB转换得到的多个数据电压DV输出给显示面板。
控制命令开始时长与控制命令脉宽时长两者的比特数可以相同,也可以不同。例如,控制命令开始时长可以为一个10bit的数字信号,控制命令脉宽时长也为一个10bit的数字信号,两者均对应2^10(1024)种持续时长。其中,控制命令开始时长例如为480,则可以表示控制命令开始时长是480个单位时长;控制命令脉宽时长例如为960,则可以表示控制命令脉宽时长是960个单位时长,一个单位时长可以是一个时钟的周期。又例如,控制命令开始时长可以为一个8bit的数字信号,对应2^8(256)种持续时长;控制命令脉宽时长为一个10bit的数字信号,对应2^10(1024)种持续时长。其中,控制命令开始时长例如为255,控制命令脉宽时长例如为600。
示例性地,参见图4和图5,数据传输控制信号STB还可以为控制数据缓冲器420的脉冲信号,数据传输控制信号STB具有第一触发时刻 L1和第二触发时刻L2,在第一触发时刻L1锁存输入到源极驱动器400中的图像数据RGB,在第二触发时刻L2将图像数据RGB转换得到的多个数据电压DV输出给显示面板。其中,数据传输控制信号STB从第一电平V1到第二电平V2的边沿为数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1,从第二电平V2到第一电平V1的边沿为数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2。第一电平V1与第二电平V2的电平高低是相对的,例如,当第一电平V1为高电平时,第二电平V2为低电平。第一电平V1可以为高电平,也可以为低电平,图5中以第一电平V1为低电平,第二电平V2为高电平为例进行说明,在此情况下,数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1为上升沿,第二触发时刻L2为下降沿。
示例性地,数模转换器440被配置为接收数据缓冲器420输出的图像数据RGB,并将图像数据RGB转换成多个具有模拟形式的数据电压DV(也可以称为灰阶电压)。具体地,数模转换器440通常可以通过选择图像数据RGB对应的由灰阶电压生成电路(未示出)生成的模拟电压而施行数模转换。数模转换器440可以包括多个数模转换单元(图中未示出),多个数模转换单元可以将图像数据RGB转换成对应的多个数据电压DV。依照前述示例,数模转换器440可以包括8n个数模转换单元。
示例性地,参见图4和图5,输出缓冲器450包括多个输出通道OP,输出缓冲器450被配置为基于数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2,将多个数据电压DV通过多个输出通道OP分别输出。具体地,输出缓冲器450中的输出通道OP的数目,和与该源极驱动器400耦接的数据线DL的条数相等。例如,该源极驱动器400与n条数据线DL均耦接,那么,输出缓冲器450中的输出通道OP的数目为n个。至少一个(例如多个)输出通道OP分别输出数据电压DV的时刻,不早于数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2的到达时刻。
示例性地,继续参见图4,除了前述的数据缓冲器420,数模转换器440和输出缓冲器450以外,源极驱动器400还可以包括控制信号接收器410。其中,控制信号接收器410被配置为接收和分离经过时序控制器20所编码的图像数据RGB和源极控制信号SCS,并将分离出的图像数据RGB和源极控制信号SCS分别传输给源极驱动器400中的相应电路模块。具体地,控制信号接收器410可以为接口,接口的类型可以根据时序控制器20所输出的信号格式进行设置,例如,当时序控制器20输出的为eDP信号时,控制信号接收器410为eDP接口;当时序控制器 20输出的为TTL信号时,控制信号接收器410为TTL接口;当时序控制器20输出的为LVDS信号时,控制信号接收器410为LVDS接口。接口的数据口(Port)的类型和个数可以根据实际需要进行设置,本公开对此不作过多限制。
示例性地,参见图4,源极驱动器400还可以包括命令接收器430,命令接收器430被配置为接收来自控制信号接收器410的源极控制信号SCS,并将源极控制信号SCS所包括的多种信号分别传输给相应的电路模块。
示例性地,参见图4和图5,图像数据RGB和源极控制信号SCS可以分时传输。例如,在时段T1中可以先传输一行子像素(例如第f行,f为正整数,f≤n-1)的源极控制信号SCS,在之后的时段T2中再传输第f行子像素的图像数据RGB;在时段T3中可以传输第f+1行子像素的源极控制信号SCS,在之后的时段T4中再传输第f+1行子像素的图像数据RGB,以此类推。T5时段(时长由数据传输控制信号STB的控制命令开始时长决定)为第f-2行子像素的最后一个数据电压DV输出完成后的缓冲时段,响应于数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1,数据缓冲器420中的数据缓存器422向数模转换器440输出第f-1行子像素的图像数据RGB。在T6时段(时长由数据传输控制信号STB的控制命令脉宽时长决定),数模转换器440将接收到的图像数据RGB转换成多个数据电压DV,并将转换得到的多个数据电压DV输出给输出缓冲器450。基于数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2,输出缓冲器450开始输出第f-1行子像素的数据电压DV。在T7时段,输出缓冲器450中通过多个输出通道将第f-1行子像素的多个数据电压DV分别输出给各条数据线DL。T8时段~T10时段同理,进行第f行子像素P图像数据RGB的处理。
当栅线所传输的栅极驱动信号由于RC Loading出现较严重的波形失真时,相较于与该栅线耦接的第一子像素中的第一开关晶体管的开启和关闭,与该栅线耦接的第二子像素中的第二开关晶体管的开启和关闭均延迟。此时,示例性地,参见图4和图5,可以设置至少两个输出通道OP的输出时刻具有时间差,其中,任意两条数据线DL接收到数据电压DV的时间差可以相同,也可以不同。具体地,多个输出通道OP包括第一输出通道OP1和第二输出通道OP2,第一输出通道OP1通过第一数据线DLa与第一子像素耦接,第二输出通道OP2通过第二数据线DLb与 第二子像素耦接,第一输出通道OP1的输出时刻(以下称为第一时刻)和第二输出通道OP2的输出时刻(以下称为第二时刻)具有时间差。例如,沿第二方向X,第一子像素与第二子像素相邻排布,第一数据线DLa与第二数据线DLb也相邻排布。第一数据线DLa接收到数据电压DV的时刻早于第二数据线DLb接收到数据电压DV的时刻,且两者之间的时间差为ta,也即第二时刻较第一时刻延迟ta。ta可以根据第二开关晶体管的开启时刻相较于第一开关晶体管的开启时刻所延迟的时长进行设置,也可以根据每条栅线的线电阻或者对应的RC Loading进行调整。
调整后的显示装置中,沿第二方向X相邻排布的两个子像素接收到数据电压DV的时间差,与这两个子像素中的开关晶体管的开启时刻之间的时间差基本一致,进而能够减小这两个子像素的充电率差异,使发光亮度较为均一。此外,前一行子像素的最后一个数据电压DV输出后,后一行的数据电压DV才会进行输出,当前一行子像素的数据电压DV的输出存在延迟时,后一行子像素的数据电压DV的输出也会相应延迟,从而当前一行子像素的开关晶体管关闭延迟时,后一行子像素的数据电压DV不会误写入前一行子像素中,能够降低显示装置显色不均的风险,有利于提升显示质量。
示例性地,参见图4,沿多个输出通道OP的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道OP的输出时刻的时间差相同。也即沿第二方向X,相邻排布的任意两条数据线DL接收到数据电压DV的时间差均相同(例如均为ta),在提升显示效果的前提下,该设置能够有利于简化源极驱动器400的设计。
示例性地,参见图4和图6,源极驱动器400还包括至少一个(例如一个)延时控制器460,延时控制器460被配置为基于数据传输控制信号STB,输出多个输出使能信号EN。输出缓冲器450被配置为响应于多个输出使能信号EN,将多个数据电压DV通过多个输出通道OP分别输出。沿第二方向X依次排布的多条数据线DL1~DLn与多个输出通道OP分别对应耦接,多个输出通道OP响应的多个输出使能信号EN分别为EN1~ENn。
对多个输出使能信号EN的获取方式不作过多限制,例如,延时控制器460中可以存储有多个输出使能信号EN,延时控制器460接收并响应于来自命令接收单元430的数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2,将存储的多个输出使能信号EN输出给输出缓冲器450,以控制多个 输出通道OP的输出。又例如,延时控制器460可以依据接收到的数据传输控制信号STB,将每个输出通道OP的延迟信息反映在数据传输控制信号中,生成多个输出使能信号EN。
示例性地,输出使能信号EN从第三电平V3到第四电平V4的边沿为输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3,从第四电平V4到第三电平V3的边沿为输出使能信号EN的第二触发时刻L4。与前述类似的,第三电平V3与第四电平V4的电平高低是相对的。可以是第三电平V3为高电平,第四电平V4为低电平;或者第三电平V3为低电平,第四电平V4为高电平。本公开中以第三电平V3为低电平,第四电平V4为高电平为例进行说明,在此情况下,输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3为上升沿,输出使能信号EN的第二触发时刻L4为下降沿。输出缓冲器450中的每个输出通道OP可以响应于一个输出使能信号EN的信号触发时刻输出数据电压DV,多个输出通道响应于多个输出使能信号EN的多个信号触发时刻分别输出多个数据电压DV。多个信号触发时刻可以均为输出使能信号EN的上升沿,或者均为输出使能信号EN的下降沿,对此不作过多限制。
示例性地,可以设置多个输出使能信号EN的波形均相同,且至少两个输出使能信号EN具有相位差。例如,参见图6,延时控制器输出的多个输出使能信号EN的波形均相同,输出缓冲器中的每个输出通道可以响应于一个输出使能信号EN的第二触发时刻L4输出数据电压,至少一个(例如一个)输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1同时到达。沿多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出数据电压的时刻具有时间差,任意相邻的两个输出通道所响应的输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3和第二触发时刻L4均错开,且两个第一触发时刻L3的到达时刻之间的时间差,等于两个第二触发时刻L4的到达时刻之间的时间差。具体地,输出使能信号EN1的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1对齐,输出使能信号EN1的第二触发时刻L4与数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2对齐,输出使能信号EN1~ENn的第二触发时刻L4逐级延迟,延迟时长均为tb。相当于延时控制器按照预设的延时信息,对接收到的数据传输控制信号STB进行了延迟处理并输出。又例如,参见图7,延时控制器460输出的多个输出使能信号EN的波形均相同,输出缓冲器中的每个输出通道可以响应于一个输出使能信号EN的第一触 发时刻L3输出数据电压,至少一个(例如一个)输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2同时到达。沿多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出数据电压的时刻具有时间差,任意相邻的两个输出通道所响应的输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3和第二触发时刻L4均错开,且两个第一触发时刻L3的到达时刻之间的时间差,等于两个第二触发时刻L4的到达时刻之间的时间差。具体地,输出使能信号EN1的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2对齐,输出使能信号EN1~ENn的第二触发时刻L4逐级延迟,延迟时长均为tc。
又示例地,也可以设置至少两个输出使能信号EN的波形不相同,且波形不相同的任意两个输出使能信号EN控制输出的两个信号触发时刻的到达时刻具有时间差。例如,参见图8,延时控制器输出的任意两个输出使能信号EN的波形不相同,输出缓冲器中的每个输出通道可以响应于一个输出使能信号EN的第二触发时刻L4输出数据电压,多个输出使能信号EN的第一触发时刻L3,与数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1同时到达,至少一个(例如多个)输出使能信号EN的第二触发时刻L4的到达时刻,晚于所述数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2的到达时刻。具体地,输出使能信号EN1~ENn的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号STB的第一触发时刻L1均同时到达,输出使能信号EN1的第二触发时刻L4与数据传输控制信号STB的第二触发时刻L2同时到达,输出使能信号EN1~ENn的第二触发时刻L4逐级延迟,延迟时长均为td,同样可以实现不同输出通道延迟不同的时长输出数据电压,从而使得同一行中的多个子像素的充电率较为均一。
本公开的一些实施例中提供了一种显示装置,该显示装置包括前述的源极驱动器,且多个输出使能信号的设置如前所述。显示装置的结构如图1所示,显示装置1的驱动方式为单边驱动时,结合图9,沿多条数据线DL的排布方向,多条数据线DL分别接收到多个数据电压DV的时刻,由显示装置1的一侧到另一侧逐级延迟,具体地,由显示装置1设置有栅极驱动电路30的一侧,向显示装置1未设置栅极驱动电路30的一侧逐级延迟。
又示例地,显示装置包括前述的源极驱动器,且多个输出使能信号的设置同样如前所述。显示装置的结构如图10所示,显示装置1的驱动方式为双边驱动,显示装置1中包括时序控制器20和多个栅极驱动器 300,多个栅极驱动器300均与时序控制器20耦接。沿第二方向X,多个栅极驱动器300包括位于显示装置1一侧的至少一个(例如多个)第一栅极驱动器310,和位于显示装置1另一侧的至少一个(例如多个)第二栅极驱动器320,一个第一栅极驱动器310和一个第二栅极驱动器320与同一条栅线耦接。多个第一栅极驱动器310构成一个第一栅极驱动电路31,多个第二栅极驱动器320构成一个第二栅极驱动电路32。对一条栅线而言,栅极驱动信号GDS从两端输入,有利于减小栅线远离第一栅极驱动电路31和第二栅极驱动电路32的位置处的信号衰减。
当显示装置1的驱动方式为双边驱动时,沿多条数据线DL1~DLn的排布方向,从显示装置1的两侧到中间,同一行中的多个子像素P中开关晶体管开启和关闭的延迟逐渐增大,相应的,子像素P的充电率也从显示装置1的两侧到中间逐渐减小,同样会出现前述远离栅极驱动电路30的子像素P充电率不足、后一行子像素P的数据电压DV误写入前一行子像素P中的问题。
因此,为了避免出现前述问题,当源极驱动器400与n条数据线DL1~DLn耦接,n为正整数且为偶数时,参见图11,可以设置输出通道向数据线DL1~DLn/2输出数据电压的时刻逐级延迟,输出通道向数据线DLn~DLn+1/2输出数据电压的时刻也逐级延迟,相应的,多条数据线DL1~DLn分别接收到多个数据电压的时刻,由显示装置的两侧向中间对称性地逐级延迟。当源极驱动器与n条数据线DL1~DLn耦接,n为正整数且为奇数时,参见图12,可以设置输出通道向数据线DL1~DLn+1/2输出数据电压的时刻逐级延迟,输出通道向数据线DLn~DLn+1/2输出数据电压的时刻逐级延迟。
示例性地,参见图10,显示装置1中的多条栅线GL1~GLm可以具有相等的线电阻,与之类似的,显示装置1中的多条数据线DL1~DLn也可以具有相等的线电阻。以栅线为例,显示装置1中多条栅线GL1~GLm的线电阻相等时,当根据RC Loading设置一条数据线接收到数据电压DV所需延迟的时长时,由于栅线与数据线交叉位置处的RC Loading,与该交叉位置和栅极驱动电路30之间的距离的对应关系近似为线性,从而有利于降低多条数据线DL1~DLn分别对应的延迟时间的设计难度。
本公开的另一些实施例中,参见图13,显示装置1包括源极驱动电路40,源极驱动电路40中包括多个源极驱动器400,多个源极驱动器 400均与时序控制器20耦接。例如,参见图14,多个源极驱动器400可以均与时序控制器20连接,时序控制器20向各源极驱动器400输出图像数据RGB和源极驱动信号SCS,各源极驱动器400根据接收到的源极驱动信号SCS分离出所需的数据传输控制信号,并响应于各自的数据传输控制信号进行图像数据RGB的转换和数据电压的输出。又例如,参见图15,源极驱动电路40中包括相互级联的多个源极驱动器400,至少一个(例如一个)源极驱动器400与时序控制器20连接,时序控制器20输出的图像数据RGB和源极驱动信号SCS从该源极驱动器400向其他源极驱动器400连续传输。除上述的两种设置方式外,多个源极驱动器400与时序控制器20还可以采用其他可行的连接方式,本公开实施例对此不作过多限制。
示例性地,参见图13,显示面板10中的多条数据线DL1~DLn可以划分为多个数据线组(图中未示出),每个数据线组中的多条数据线DL1~DLn与同一个源极驱动器400耦接。多个源极驱动器400包括第一源极驱动器401和第二源极驱动器402。其中,时序控制器20向第一源极驱动器401提供第一图像数据RGB1和第一源极控制信号SCS1,第一源极控制信号SCS1包括第一数据传输控制信号,向第二源极驱动器402提供第二图像数据RGB2和第二源极驱动信号SCS2,第二源极驱动信号SCS2包括第二数据传输控制信号。第一源极驱动器401和第二源极驱动器402分别响应于各自的数据传输控制信号将图像数据RGB转换为多个数据电压DV,并向显示面板10输出多个数据电压DV。具体地,对第一源极驱动器401和第二源极驱动器402的相对位置不做过多限制,两者可以相邻,也可以不相邻,沿第二方向X,第一源极驱动器401可以位于第二源极驱动器402的左侧,也可以位于第二源极驱动器402的右侧。显示面板10中的多个数据线组包括第一数据线组和第二数据线组,第一数据线组中的多条数据线与第一源极驱动器401耦接,第二数据线组中的多条数据线与第二源极驱动器402耦接。第一源极驱动器401可以同时向第一数据线组中的多条数据线输出多个第一数据电压,第二源极驱动器402也可以同时向第二数据线组中的多条数据线输出多个第二数据电压。
为了表述简便,继续参见图13,以下以显示装置1的驱动方式为单边驱动,第一源极驱动器401和第二源极驱动器402相邻,第一源极驱动器401位于第二源极驱动器402靠近栅极驱动电路30的一侧,且第一 源极驱动器401为多个源极驱动器400中最靠近栅极驱动电路30的一者为例进行说明。
示例性地,参见图16,第一源极驱动器401所响应的数据传输控制信号STB为第一数据传输控制信号STB1,第二源极驱动器402所响应的数据传输控制信号STB为第二数据传输控制信号STB2。第一数据传输控制信号STB1和第二数据传输控制信号STB2均具有第一触发时刻L1和第二触发时刻L2。
第一源极驱动器401可以响应于第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第一触发时刻L1将锁存的第一图像数据转换成多个第一数据电压,可以基于第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2,输出多个第一数据电压。与第一源极驱动器401类似的,第二源极驱动器402可以响应于第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第一触发时刻L1,将锁存的多个第二图像数据转换成多个第二数据电压,基于第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2,输出多个第二数据电压。其中,继续参见图16,第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2具有时间差。例如,第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2延迟,延迟的时长为t,该延迟时长可以根据每条栅线的线电阻或者对应的RC Loading进行调整。
参见图13和图17,显示装置1中的多个子像素P包括在先子像素Pc和在后子像素Pd,沿第二方向X,与第一源极驱动器401和第二源极驱动器402分别耦接的多条数据线DL(分别构成第一数据线组和第二数据线组)中,排布位置相同的两条数据线DL分别为在先数据线DLc和在后数据线DLd,在先子像素Pc与在先数据线DLc耦接,在后子像素Pd与在后数据线DLd耦接,在先数据线DLc传输在先数据电压DVc,在后数据线DLd传输在后数据电压DVd。例如,沿第二方向X,在先数据线DLc为第一数据线组中的第一条数据线,那么在后数据线DLd则为第二数据线组中的第一条数据线。当在后子像素Pd中的开关晶体管的开启时刻,与在先子像素Pc中的开关晶体管的开启时刻之间的时间差为t时,第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2延迟,且延迟时长也为t,从而能够减小这两个子像素的充电率差异,使其发光亮度较为均一。此外,前一行子像素P的多个数据电压DV的输出延迟,后一行子像素P的多个数据 电压DV的输出也会相应延迟,从而当前一行子像素P的开关晶体管关闭延迟时,后一行子像素P的数据电压DV不会误写入前一行子像素P中,能够降低显示装置1显色不均的风险。
对第一数据传输控制信号STB1和第二数据传输控制信号STB2的具体波形不作过多限制,只要限制第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2延迟即可。例如,参见图16,第一数据传输控制信号STB1的波形与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的波形不相同,第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第一触发时刻L1与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第一触发时刻L1同时到达,第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2延迟t。又例如,参见图17,第一数据传输控制信号STB1与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的波形相同,且两者具有相位差,第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第一触发时刻L1与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第一触发时刻L1具有时间差。具体地,第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第一触发时刻L1比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第一触发时刻L1延迟,第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2也比第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2延迟,延迟时长均为t。
参见前述,第一源极驱动器中可以包括显示数据接收器,数据缓存器,数模转换器和输出缓冲器等电路模块,还可以包括其他电路模块,第二源极驱动器中所具有的电路模块与第一源极驱动器一致,在此不再赘述。
示例性地,第一源极驱动器包括输出缓冲器(以下称为第一输出缓冲器),第一输出缓冲器包括多个输出通道。第一输出缓冲器被配置为基于第一数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻,将多个第一数据电压通过多个输出通道分别输出,其中,至少两个输出通道的输出时刻具有时间差。例如,沿一输出缓冲器中多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出第一数据电压的时刻具有时间差。第二源极驱动器的输出缓冲器(以下称为第二输出缓冲器)也包括多个输出通道,第二输出缓冲器被配置为基于第二数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻,将多个第二数据电压通过多个输出通道分别输出,沿第二输出缓冲器中多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出第二数据电压的时刻具有时间差。上述设置以单个输出通道为单位进行延迟时长的调整,使得 每个源极驱动器内部具有相对连续的输出延迟变化,能够对延迟时长进行精细调整,从而有效减小同一行中的多个子像素之间的充电率差异,提升显示效果。
示例性地,沿多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道的输出时刻的时间差相同。也即沿第二方向X,相邻排布的任意两条数据线接收到数据电压的时间差均相同,在以单个输出通道为单位进行延迟时长的精细调整从而提升显示效果的前提下,该设置有利于简化源极驱动器的设计。任意相邻的两个输出通道的输出时刻的时间差,可以依据第一数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻与第二数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻之间的时间差进行确定。例如,参见图18,第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2与第二数据传输控制信号STB2的第二触发时刻L2之间的时间差为t,第一数据线组中第一数据线的条数,与第二数据线组中第二数据线的条数相等,均为k条,沿第二方向X,相邻排布的任意两条数据线接收到数据电压的时间差均相同。第一数据组中相邻排布的任意两条第一数据线接收到第一数据电压的时间差为t/k,第二数据组中相邻排布的任意两条第二数据线接收到第二数据电压的时间差为t/k,沿第二方向X,第二数据组中的第一条第二数据线接收到第二数据电压的时刻,与第一数据组中的第k条第一数据线接收到第一数据电压的时刻之间的时间差也为t/k。
示例性地,第一源极驱动器还包括至少一个(例如一个)延时控制器(以下称为第一延时控制器),第一延时控制器被配置为基于第一数据传输控制信号,输出多个输出使能信号。第一输出缓冲器被配置为响应于多个输出使能信号,将多个第一数据电压通过多个输出通道分别输出。对多个输出使能信号的获取方式不作过多限制,例如,第一延时控制器中可以存储有多个输出使能信号,第一延时控制器接收并响应于来自命令接收单元的第一数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻,将存储的多个输出使能信号输出给第一输出缓冲器,以控制多个输出通道的输出。又例如,第一延时控制器可以依据接收到的第一数据传输控制信号,将每个输出通道的延迟信息反映在第一数据传输控制信号中,来生成多个输出使能信号。
可以设置多个输出使能信号的波形均相同,且至少两个输出使能信号的波形具有相位差。在此前提下,示例性地,参见图18,第一输出缓冲器中的每个输出通道可以响应于一个输出使能信号的第二触发时刻 L4输出第一数据电压,沿多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出数据电压的时刻具有时间差。至少一个(例如一个)输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号的第一触发时刻L1同时到达,任意相邻的两个输出通道所响应的输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3和第二触发时刻L4均错开,且两个第一触发时刻L3的到达时刻之间的时间差,等于两个第二触发时刻L4的到达时刻之间的时间差。沿第二方向X,多条第一数据线接收到多个第一数据电压的时刻逐级延迟,延迟时长为t/k。又示例地,参见图19,第一输出缓冲器中的每个输出通道可以响应于一个输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3输出第一数据电压,沿多个输出通道的排布方向,任意相邻的两个输出通道输出数据电压的时刻具有时间差。至少一个(例如一个)输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3与数据传输控制信号的第二触发时刻L2同时到达,任意相邻的两个输出通道所响应的输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3和第二触发时刻L4均错开,且沿第二方向X,多条第一数据线接收到多个第一数据电压的时刻逐级延迟,延迟时长为t/k。
示例性地,也可以设置至少两个输出使能信号的波形不相同,且波形不相同的任意两个输出使能信号控制输出的两个信号触发时刻的到达时刻具有时间差。例如,参见图20,第一延时控制器输出的任意两个输出使能信号的波形不相同,多个输出使能信号的第一触发时刻L3,与第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第一触发时刻L1同时到达,至少一个(例如多个)输出使能信号的第二触发时刻L4的到达时刻,晚于第一数据传输控制信号STB1的第二触发时刻L2的到达时刻,沿第二方向X,多条第一数据线接收到多个第一数据电压的时刻逐级延迟,延迟时长为t/k。
与第一源极驱动器类似的,第二源极控制器也可以包括至少一个(例如一个)延时控制器(以下称为第二延时控制器),第二延时控制器以及第二延时控制器所生成的多个输出使能信号的具体设置与第一延时控制器类似,在此不再赘述。
