Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] Specifically, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a display device, including a display panel and a drive control module.

[0020] Optionally, the display panel includes a self-luminous display panel. Optionally, the self-luminous display panel includes an organic light emitting diode display panel, a sub-millimeter light emitting diode display panel, a micro light emitting diode display panel, a quantum dot display panel, etc.

[0021] The display panel includes a plurality of sub-pixels SP, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of light-emitting control lines. The plurality of sub-pixels SP form a plurality of pixel units Pi arranged in an array, and the plurality of scan lines, the plurality of data lines, and the plurality of light-emitting control lines are electrically connected to the plurality of sub-pixels SP, so that the plurality of sub-pixels SP realize a display function according to corresponding scan signals, data signals Data, and light-emitting control signals EM.

[0022] Optionally, each pixel unit Pi includes three sub-pixels SP. Optionally, the three sub-pixels SP included in each pixel unit Pi emit different luminous colors, wherein the luminous colors of the sub-pixels SP include red, green, blue, yellow, white, etc.

[0023] Optionally, the driving control module includes a gate driver, an emission driver and a data driver.

[0024] The gate driver is configured to output a scan signal to the display panel. Optionally, the gate driver is electrically connected to a plurality of scan lines to transmit the scan signal to a plurality of sub-pixels SP through the plurality of scan lines.

[0025] Optionally, the gate driver includes a first gate driving unit and a second gate driving unit. The first gate driving unit is configured to output a first scanning signal Pscan1 to the display panel. The second gate driving unit is configured to output a second scanning signal Pscan2 to the display panel.

[0026] The emission driver is configured to output the emission control signal EM to the display panel. Optionally, the emission driver is electrically connected to a plurality of emission control lines to output the emission control signal EM to a plurality of sub-pixels SP through the plurality of emission control lines.

[0027] The data driver is configured to output the data signal Data to the display panel. Optionally, the data driver is electrically connected to a plurality of data lines to output the data signal Data to a plurality of sub-pixels SP through the plurality of data lines.

[0028] Optionally, the driving controller includes a receiver, a register, a timing controller, a memory controller, a random access memory and a dynamic frame rate module. The driving controller controls the gate driver, the data driver and the emission driver to realize the control of the display state of multiple pixel units Pi as follows:

[0029] Phase 1: The receiver outputs instruction c to the register according to the register instruction a sent by the host, and the register is configured according to instruction c.

[0030] The second stage: the host sends image data signal b to the receiver at a certain time interval (such as one minute), the receiver outputs image data signal d to the memory controller according to the image data signal b sent by the host, and the memory controller outputs image data signal f to the random access memory according to the image data signal d.

[0031] The third stage: the register outputs the instruction e of the corresponding timing control setting to the timing controller, the random access memory outputs the image data signal h to the timing controller according to the image data signal f, and the dynamic frame rate module outputs the high-frequency switching instruction i to the timing controller after detecting that the random access memory has an updated data signal g.

[0032] The fourth stage: the timing controller sends the corresponding high-frequency switching instruction j to the gate driver, the emission driver and the data driver respectively, so as to control the display panel to realize display of the plurality of sub-pixels SP in the high-frequency driving mode through the gate driver, the emission driver and the data driver.

[0033] Phase 5: The host stops outputting the image data signal to the receiver, the dynamic frame rate module detects that there is no updated data signal g in the random access memory, and outputs the low-frequency switching instruction i to the timing controller.

[0034] Phase 6: The timing controller sends the corresponding low-frequency switching instruction j to the gate driver, the emission driver and the data driver respectively, so as to control the display panel to realize display of the plurality of sub-pixels SP in the ultra-low-frequency driving mode through the gate driver, the emission driver and the data driver.

[0035] In order to realize the display function, the display panel may have multiple display cycles. In order to realize the variable frequency technology, the duration corresponding to each display cycle of the display panel may be different. When the display panel adopts the high-frequency driving mode to realize the display, the display cycle may include only one write frame WF. When the display panel adopts the frequency lower than the high-frequency driving mode to realize the display, the display panel may include one write frame WF and at least one hold frame HF. The data signal Data is written to the sub-pixel SP within the effective pulse action time of the second scan signal Pscan2 in the write frame WF, and the data signal Data written to the sub-pixel SP in the write frame WF is maintained in the hold frame HF, so that when the display panel adopts the frequency lower than the high-frequency driving mode to realize the display, the information displayed by the display panel within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle is the same.

[0036] The lower the frequency of the display panel, the more conducive it is to improving the battery life of the display device. In particular, to improve the battery life of the display device, the display panel can be made to use an ultra-low frequency to achieve display. Among them, the ultra-low frequency refers to a frequency less than 1Hz. However, when the display panel uses an ultra-low frequency to achieve display, it will cause a more serious flicker problem.

[0037] In order to enable the display panel to use ultra-low frequency to achieve display while improving the flicker problem, so as to achieve the purpose of taking into account both display performance and battery life performance, the present application enables each of the write frame WF and the multiple hold frames HF to have a first duration tfr. In each of the write frame WF and the multiple hold frames HF, the light control signal EM has multiple periods T, and the ratio of the number of periods Ncft of the light control signal EM to the first duration tfr is greater than the critical flicker frequency CFF, that is, Ncft / tfr>CFF, so that the sub-pixel SP can achieve multiple switching of display state and non-display state in the write frame WF and the multiple hold frames HF under the control of the light control signal EM, thereby reducing the audience's perception of the flicker problem of the display panel within the total duration tsu corresponding to the write frame WF and the multiple hold frames HF, so that the display panel has better display performance.

[0038] By making the light-emitting control signal EM have a valid pulse and an invalid pulse in each cycle, the first scanning signal Pscan1 has a valid pulse during the action time of each invalid pulse of the light-emitting control signal EM in the write frame WF and multiple holding frames HF, and the second scanning signal Pscan2 has a valid pulse during the action time of the invalid pulse in the first cycle of the light-emitting control signal EM in the write frame WF, so that within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle, the sub-pixel SP can be controlled by the light-emitting control signal EM, the first scanning signal Pscan1 and the second scanning signal Pscan2 to switch between the display state and the non-display state multiple times according to the same display content in the write frame WF and multiple holding frames HF, so that the information displayed by multiple sub-pixels SP is the same within the total duration tsu corresponding to the write frame WF and multiple holding frames HF, so as to achieve the purpose of taking into account both display performance and battery life performance.

[0039] The critical flicker frequency CFF is the frequency of the minimum flickering light that can be perceived as stable light by human eyes. Optionally, the critical flicker frequency CFF is greater than or equal to 45 Hz.

[0040] like Figure 2 is a diagram of human eye perception of flicker provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Since the critical flicker frequency CFF is closely related to many factors such as display brightness, ambient brightness, and viewing distance and is not a constant, Figure 2 It can be seen that when the frequency is greater than or equal to 60Hz, the human eye cannot perceive the flicker problem. Therefore, the ratio of the number of cycles Ncft of the light emitting control signal EM in each of the write frame WF and the plurality of hold frames HF to the first duration tfr can be made greater than or equal to 60Hz; that is, Ncft / tfr≥60Hz, so as to ensure that when the display device is actually used, the human eye cannot perceive the flicker problem on the display screen.

[0041] It can be understood that the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle is the sum of the first durations tfr corresponding to the write frame WF and the hold frames HF included in the display cycle. That is, sut = m*tfr; wherein m is the total number of frames, and the total number of frames m is the sum of the number of the write frames WF and the hold frames HF included in the display cycle.

[0042] Optionally, in order to enable the display panel to realize display at an ultra-low frequency, the total number of frames m included in a display cycle needs to be less than or equal to the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping that can be provided in the driving control module; that is: m≤SKL. Correspondingly, the ratio of the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle to the first duration tfr is less than or equal to the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping that can be provided in the driving control module; that is, sut / tfr≤SKL. Optionally, the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping that can be provided in the driving control module is determined by the number of bits of the register for controlling the number of frame skipping included in the driving control module. Specifically, if the register for controlling the number of frame skipping is xbit, the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping is equal to 2^x; if the register for controlling the number of frame skipping is 8bit, the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping is equal to 2^8=256; if the register for controlling the number of frame skipping is 10bit, the upper limit SKL of the frame skipping is equal to 2^10=1024. Among them, Figure 1 The registers shown in ref er to FIG. 1 represent all registers included in the display device, and do not represent only registers for controlling the number of frame skipping.

[0043] Optionally, since the data signal Data is written to the sub-pixel SP within the effective pulse action time of the second scan signal Pscan2 in the write frame WF, and the information displayed by the display panel is the same within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle, the target frequency f1 of the second scan signal Pscan2 within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle (i.e., the sum of the multiple first durations corresponding to the write frame WF and multiple hold frames HF) can be less than 1Hz, i.e., f1<1Hz, so that the sub-pixel SP updates the display information according to each display cycle, thereby enabling the display panel to achieve ultra-low frequency display. Accordingly, the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle is inversely proportional to the target frequency f1 of the second scan signal Pscan2 in a display cycle; i.e., tsu=1 / f1.

[0044] Optionally, the target frequency f1 is the frequency used when the display panel adopts an ultra-low frequency driving mode to realize display. That is, the target frequency f1 can be equal to 0.99Hz, 0.98Hz, ..., 0.9Hz, 0.89Hz, ..., 0.75Hz, ..., 0.5Hz, ..., 0.11Hz, 0.1Hz, 0.099Hz, 0.098Hz, ..., 0.09Hz, 0.089Hz, ..., 0.08Hz, 0.079Hz, ..., 0.07Hz, 0.069Hz, ..., 0.064Hz, ..., 0.06Hz, ..., 0.05Hz, ..., 0.04Hz, ..., 0.032Hz, ..., 0.03Hz, ..., 0.02Hz, ..., 0.016Hz, 0.015Hz, ..., 0.01Hz, 0.009Hz, 0.008Hz ..., 0.006Hz, 0.005Hz, 0.004Hz ... and so on.

[0045] Optionally, within the write frame WF, the product of the basic frequency f3 of the second scanning signal Pscan2 and the number of cycles Ncft of the light control signal EM is equal to the intermediate frequency f2 of the light control signal EM, so that within the first time length tfr corresponding to each of the write frame WF and multiple hold frames HF, the number of cycles Ncft included in the light control signal EM meets the requirements, thereby making the display picture of the display panel meet the display performance requirements.

[0046] Since the data signal Data is written into the sub-pixel SP within the effective pulse action time of the second scanning signal Pscan2 in the write frame WF, and the information displayed by the display panel is the same within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle, the first duration tfr corresponding to the write frame WF and each hold frame HF can be made to be inversely proportional to the basic frequency f3 of the second scanning signal Pscan2 in the write frame WF; that is, tfr=1 / f3, so that the sub-pixel SP displays the same information within a display cycle, thereby enabling the display panel to achieve ultra-low frequency display.

[0047] Optionally, the total number of frames m can be obtained based on the basic frequency f3 and the target frequency f1, that is, the ratio of the basic frequency f3 to the target frequency f1 is equal to the total number of frames m (that is, the ratio of the basic frequency f3 to the target frequency f1 is equal to the sum of the number of write frames WF and multiple hold frames HF); that is, f3 / f1=m.

[0048] The following will describe the corresponding working principle when the display panel adopts the high-frequency driving mode and the low-frequency driving mode to realize display in combination with the specific form of the sub-pixel SP. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a sub-pixel SP provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] The light-emitting control transistor is configured to control the on-off of the flow path of the driving current according to the light-emitting control signal EM.

Optionally, the light emitting device D includes an organic light emitting diode, a sub-millimeter light emitting diode, a micro light emitting diode, or the like.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 1 to Figure 3 The gate driver further includes a third gate driving unit, and the third gate driving unit is configured to output the third scan signal Nscan1 and the fourth scan signal Nscan2 to the sub-pixel SP.

[0057] Optionally, the third scanning signal Nscan1 and the fourth scanning signal Nscan2 both have a valid pulse within the action time of the invalid pulse in the first cycle of the light emitting control signal EM in the write frame WF, so as to initialize the potential of the third node N3 in the write frame WF, and transmit the data signal Data to the gate of the driving transistor Tdr in the write frame WF, so as to keep the sub-pixel SP displayed in the hold frame HF according to the data signal Data written into the sub-pixel SP in the write frame WF.

Optionally, the driving transistor Tdr is a P-type transistor, and during the action time of each valid pulse of the first scanning signal Pscan1, the difference between the potential of the third node N3 and the second reset signal VI2 is less than the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Tdr, so that when the second reset transistor Ti2 is turned on, the driving transistor Tdr is also turned on, so that the second reset transistor Ti2 resets the input electrode potential (i.e., the potential of the first node N1) and the output electrode potential (i.e., the potential of the second node N2) of the driving transistor Tdr according to the first scanning signal Pscan1.

[0066] Figure 41 is a timing diagram corresponding to the high frequency driving mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Taking the corresponding frequency in the high frequency driving mode as 60Hz, the driving transistor Tdr, the first reset transistor Ti1, the second reset transistor Ti2, the data transistor Tda, the first switch transistor Ts1 and the second switch transistor Ts2 are all P-type transistors, and the compensation transistor Tc and the third reset transistor Ti3 are all N-type transistors as an example, Figure 3 The working principle of the sub-pixel SP shown in FIG. 1 is described as follows. A display cycle only includes a writing frame WF, and the writing frame WF includes an initialization phase P1, a data writing phase P2, a node resetting phase P3, and a light emitting phase P4.

[0067] Initialization stage P1: the light-emitting control signal EM, the first scanning signal Pscan1, the second scanning signal Pscan2, the third scanning signal Nscan1 and the fourth scanning signal Nscan2 are all in a high-level state, the third reset transistor Ti3 is turned on in response to the fourth scanning signal Nscan2, the compensation transistor Tc is turned on in response to the third scanning signal Nscan1 so that the driving transistor Tdr is diode-connected, the driving transistor Tdr is turned on, and the third reset signal resets the potentials of the third node N3, the second node N2 and the first node N1.

[0069] Node reset stage P3: the light emitting control signal EM and the second scanning signal Pscan2 are both in a high level state, the first scanning signal Pscan1, the third scanning signal Nscan1 and the fourth scanning signal Nscan2 are both in a low level state, the first reset transistor Ti1 and the second reset transistor Ti2 are both turned on in response to the first scanning signal Pscan1, and the first reset signal VI1 resets the potential of the fourth node N4. The second reset signal VI2 has a higher voltage value, and the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the driving transistor Tdr is the voltage difference between the third node N3 and the first node N1, so that the voltage difference between the third node N3 and the first node N1 is less than the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Tdr, so that the driving transistor Tdr can be turned on, so that the second reset signal VI2 resets the potentials of the first node N1 and the second node N2.

Vth in Table 1 is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Tdr, and Lum.vo indicates that the potential is actually affected by the change of the charging and discharging state in the circuit and has a certain fluctuation.

[0072]

[0073] In order to improve the flickering problem caused by the ultra-low frequency driving mode while realizing the display function of the ultra-low frequency driving mode, the duration of each frame included in a display cycle under the corresponding ultra-low frequency driving mode is increased, and then the display function of the ultra-low frequency driving mode is realized by combining the frame skipping method.

[0074] like Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of increasing the duration of each frame provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 In the figure, VBP represents the vertical back porch, VFP represents the vertical front porch, HBP represents the horizontal back porch, HFP represents the horizontal front porch, y1, y3 and y5 all represent the number of rows of the pixel unit Pi, y2, y4 and y6 all represent the number of columns of the pixel unit Pi; y1≠y3≠y5; y2≠y4≠y6.

[0075] Since the display panel has a fixed resolution after being manufactured, if you want to increase the duration of each frame, you can make the drive control module consider the number of scan lines V-proch to be controlled N V-porch Greater than the number of rows of pixel units Pi, and / or the number of pixel units Pi to be scanned per row N H-line Greater than the number of columns of pixel units Pi. That is, the number of pixel units Pi to be scanned in each row is N H-line Under the same condition, increase the number of scan lines V-proch required to be controlled N V-porch , so that the number of lines required to be scanned per frame increases, thereby increasing the corresponding duration of each frame; the number of scanning lines V-proch required to be controlled N V-porch Under the same condition, increase the scanning time N of the pixel unit Pi required to be controlled in each row H-line / f osc , thereby increasing the duration of each frame; it can also increase the number of scan lines V-proch required to be controlled N V-porch , and the scanning time N of the pixel unit Pi required to be controlled in each row H-line / f osc , thereby increasing the duration of each frame. osc Indicates the crystal oscillator frequency of the drive control module, 1 / f osc It indicates the time required for the driving control module to control one pixel unit Pi to realize display.

[0076] The duration T of each frame frame =N V-porch *N H-line / f osc , and due to the functional limitations of the drive control module, N H-line and N V-porch The values ​​of all have an upper limit, such as the register that controls the number of frame skips is 10 bits, NH-line The maximum value is 1024, N V-porch The maximum value that can be obtained is VAA+1028, where VAA is N V-porch Minimum possible value.

[0077] After the duration corresponding to each frame is increased, the ratio of the first duration tfr corresponding to the writing frame WF and each holding frame HF included in a display cycle to the duration required for the driving controller to control one pixel unit Pi to realize display (i.e., t1*f osc =N V-porch *N H-line ) is greater than the number of pixel units Pi of the display device.

[0078] Since flickering problems may occur when each frame is displayed at a frequency lower than the critical flicker frequency CFF, the timing is optimized. Specifically, in the initialization phase P1 of the writing frame WF, the data writing phase P2, and the node reset phase P3, the display panel uses a high-frequency driving mode to realize display and uses an ultra-low frequency driving mode to realize display. The working principle is similar. When the ultra-low driving mode is used to realize display, the light-emitting phase P4 includes multiple light-emitting sub-phases and multiple non-light-emitting sub-phases. In each light-emitting sub-phase, the light-emitting control signal EM has a valid pulse, and the first scan signal Pscan1, the second scan signal Pscan2, the third scan signal Nscan1, and the fourth scan signal Nscan2 all have invalid pulses, so that the first switch transistor Ts1 and the second switch transistor Ts2 are both turned on in response to the light-emitting control signal EM, and the driving transistor Tdr generates a driving current according to the data signal Data in the path between the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply terminal VSS to control the light-emitting device D to emit light. In each non-light-emitting sub-stage, the light-emitting control signal EM, the third scanning signal Nscan1 and the fourth scanning signal Nscan2 all have invalid pulses, the first scanning signal Pscan1 has a valid pulse during the duration of the light-emitting control signal EM having the invalid pulse, and the maintenance duration of the valid pulse of the first scanning signal Pscan1 is less than or equal to the duration of the light-emitting control signal EM maintaining the invalid pulse, so that the first reset transistor Ti1 and the second reset transistor Ti2 are both turned on in response to the first scanning signal Pscan1, thereby using the first reset signal VI1 to reset the potential of the fourth node N4, and using the second reset signal VI2 to have a higher voltage value to turn on the driving transistor Tdr, so as to use the second reset signal VI2 to reset the potential of the first node N1 and the second node N2. By switching the sub-pixel SP between the display state and the non-display state in the light-emitting stage, the display frequency is increased, thereby improving the flicker problem.

[0079] Specifically, the timing diagram of writing the frame WF in the ultra-low frequency driving mode is first described. Figure 6 1 is a timing diagram of writing a frame WF in an ultra-low frequency driving mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention; taking the first duration tfr corresponding to the writing frame WF, the second scanning signal Pscan2 has a basic frequency f3 of 16 Hz, the driving transistor Tdr, the first reset transistor Ti1, the second reset transistor Ti2, the data transistor Tda, the first switch transistor Ts1 and the second switch transistor Ts2 are all P-type transistors, and the compensation transistor Tc and the third reset transistor Ti3 are all N-type transistors as an example, Figure 3 The working principle of the light-emitting stage P4 of the sub-pixel SP in the corresponding ultra-low frequency driving mode is described. The light-emitting stage P4 includes a first light-emitting sub-stage P41, a first non-light-emitting sub-stage P42, a second light-emitting sub-stage P43, a second non-light-emitting sub-stage P44, a third light-emitting sub-stage P45, a third non-light-emitting sub-stage P46, and a fourth light-emitting sub-stage P47.

[0080] In the first light-emitting sub-stage P41, the second light-emitting sub-stage P43, the third light-emitting sub-stage P45 and the fourth light-emitting sub-stage P47: the light-emitting control signal EM, the third scan signal Nscan1 and the fourth scan signal Nscan2 all correspond to a low level state, the first scan signal Pscan1 and the second scan signal Pscan2 all correspond to a high level state, the first switching transistor Ts1 and the second switching transistor Ts2 are both turned on in response to the light-emitting control signal EM, and the driving transistor Tdr remains turned on under the action of the storage capacitor Cst. The driving current generated by the driving transistor Tdr according to the data signal Data flows in the path between the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply terminal VSS to make the light-emitting device D emit light.

[0081] In the first non-luminous sub-stage P42, the second non-luminous sub-stage P44, and the third non-luminous sub-stage P46: the luminous control signal EM and the second scanning signal Pscan2 both correspond to a high level state, the third scanning signal Nscan1 and the fourth scanning signal Nscan2 both correspond to a low level state, and the first scanning signal Pscan1 has a low level state for a certain duration within the duration of the high level state corresponding to the luminous control signal EM. The first reset transistor Ti1 and the second reset transistor Ti2 are both turned on in response to the first scanning signal Pscan1, and the first reset signal VI1 resets the potential of the fourth node N4. The second reset signal VI2 has a higher voltage value to turn on the driving transistor Tdr, and the second reset signal VI2 resets the potential of the first node N1 and the second node N2.

[0082] The potential changes of the first node N1 , the second node N2 , the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 in the sub-pixel SP in each working stage in the corresponding high-frequency driving mode are shown in Table 2.

[0083] As can be seen from Table 2, in a plurality of non-light-emitting sub-stages, the potential of the first node N1 remains equal, the potential of the second node N2 remains equal, the potential of the third node N3 remains equal, and the potential of the fourth node N4 remains equal. In a plurality of light-emitting sub-stages, the potential of the first node N1 remains equal, the potential of the second node N2 remains equal, the potential of the third node N3 remains equal, and the potential of the fourth node N4 remains equal, so that the display brightness of the sub-pixel SP in each light-emitting sub-stage can be kept consistent.

[0084]

[0085] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the actual measured results of the luminous waveform with a brightness of 50 nit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. By making the luminous stage include multiple luminous sub-stages and multiple non-luminous sub-stages, the display brightness of the sub-pixel SP in each luminous sub-stage can be kept consistent, and the flicker problem can also be improved.

[0086] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, within the first duration tfr corresponding to the write frame WF, the second scan signal Pscan2 has a base frequency f3 of 16 Hz, and the number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM is 4, so the intermediate frequency f2 of the light-emitting control signal EM is 64 Hz. The number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM can be determined according to the sum of the number of light-emitting sub-stages and the number of non-light-emitting sub-stages included in the write frame WF. That is, the stage corresponding to the initialization stage P1, the data writing stage P2, and the node reset stage P3 of the write frame WF also belongs to a non-light-emitting sub-stage, and the sum of the non-light-emitting sub-stage composed of the initialization stage P1, the data writing stage P2, and the node reset stage P3, the light-emitting sub-stage included in the light-emitting stage, and the non-light-emitting sub-stage is equal to twice the number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM; that is, each cycle T of the light-emitting control signal EM actually corresponds to a non-light-emitting sub-stage and a light-emitting sub-stage.

[0087] Optionally, the number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM is an integer, so that when frame skipping is performed subsequently to achieve an ultra-low frequency display mode, the number of light-emitting sub-stages and non-light-emitting sub-stages included in each frame can be kept equal.

[0088] In order to realize the display function of the ultra-low frequency driving mode, in the holding frame HF, the light-emitting stage also corresponds to a plurality of light-emitting sub-stages and a plurality of non-light-emitting sub-stages. Optionally, the number of light-emitting sub-stages included in each holding frame HF is equal to the number of light-emitting sub-stages included in the writing frame WF, and the number of non-light-emitting sub-stages included in each holding frame HF is equal to the number of non-light-emitting sub-stages included in the writing frame WF, so that the writing frame WF and each holding frame HF have a first duration tfr.

[0089] On the basis that the duration of each frame can be increased, the number of frame skips corresponding to one display cycle when the ultra-low frequency driving mode is adopted is explained. Figure 8 is a timing diagram corresponding to a display cycle in the ultra-low frequency driving mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention; within the total duration tsu corresponding to a display cycle, the target frequency f1 of the second scanning signal Pscan2 is 0.016 Hz; within the first duration tfr corresponding to the write frame WF, the base frequency f3 of the second scanning signal Pscan2 is 16 Hz, combined with Figure 3 The sub-pixel shown is used to illustrate the number of frame skipping times corresponding to one display cycle when the ultra-low frequency driving mode is adopted.

[0090] In each holding frame HF, the sub-pixel SP switches between the non-display state and the display state under the control of the light emitting control signal EM. The total number of frames m=16 / 0.016=1000 (i.e., the sum of the number of write frames WF and the number of hold frames HF included in one display cycle is equal to 16 / 0.016=1000). Figure 8 1 of st 16Hz) and 999 hold frames HF (corresponding to Figure 8 2 of 2 nd ~999 th 16Hz and 1000 th 16Hz). The number of frame skipping SKF is equal to the number of multiple hold frames HF included in one display cycle, that is, the number of frame skipping SKF is equal to 999.

[0091] Optionally, the frame skipping number SKF is an integer, so that each display cycle includes an integer number of write frames WF and hold frames HF. Optionally, the frame skipping number SKF is less than the frame skipping upper limit SKL, so that the display device can achieve the target frequency to be achieved.

[0092] By including a write frame WF and multiple hold frames HF in a display cycle, the display panel can display the same display content within the total time length tsu corresponding to the display cycle, and because the sub-pixel SP switches between the display state and the non-display state multiple times within the first time length tfr corresponding to the write frame WF and each hold frame HF, the human eye cannot perceive the flickering problem of the display panel within the total time length tsu corresponding to the display cycle.

[0093] It can be understood that, in addition to realizing the display of the target frequency f1 being 0.016 Hz, more corresponding ultra-low frequency displays can be obtained according to the relationship among the target frequency f1, the intermediate frequency f2, the basic frequency f3, the number of cycles Ncft of the light control signal EM, the total number of frames m, the first duration tfr, and the total duration tsu. Table 3 only shows some examples corresponding to the frame skipping upper limit SKL being equal to 2^10=1024, and is not used to limit the present application.

[0094] As can be seen from Table 3, there can be multiple basic frequencies f3 for achieving the target frequency f1, and there can also be multiple intermediate frequencies f2 for achieving the target frequency f1. There is a maximum basic frequency fmax among the multiple basic frequencies f3, and there is a minimum intermediate frequency fmin among the multiple intermediate frequencies f2. Among them, within the first time length tfr corresponding to the writing frame WF and each holding frame HF included in a display cycle, the number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM is greater than or equal to the ratio of the minimum intermediate frequency to the maximum basic frequency; that is, Ncft≥fmin / fmax.

[0095]

[0096] The maximum basic frequency fmax can be determined according to the frame skipping upper limit SKL and the target frequency f1. For example, the ratios of multiple basic frequencies f3 and the target frequency f1 are respectively used to make differences with the frame skipping upper limit SKL to obtain multiple first differences, and the basic frequency f3 corresponding to the minimum difference among the multiple first differences is the maximum basic frequency fmax. Among them, the ratios of the multiple basic frequencies f3 and the target frequency f1 are all less than the frame skipping upper limit SKL.

[0097] The minimum intermediate frequency fmin can be determined according to the product of the critical flicker frequency CFF and the number of cycles Ncft. For example, a plurality of intermediate frequencies f2 are respectively used to make differences with the critical flicker frequency CFF to obtain a plurality of second differences, and the intermediate frequency f2 corresponding to the minimum difference among the plurality of second differences is the minimum intermediate frequency fmin. Among them, the plurality of intermediate frequencies f2 are all greater than the critical flicker frequency CFF.

[0098] That is, if the frame skipping upper limit SKL is equal to 2^10=1024, the target frequency f1 is 0.016Hz, the minimum intermediate frequency fmin is 64Hz, and the maximum basic frequency fmax is 16Hz. Then, within the first time length tfr corresponding to the write frame WF and each hold frame HF included in a display cycle, the number of cycles Ncft of the light-emitting control signal EM is greater than or equal to 4.

[0099] It can be understood that in the ultra-low frequency driving display mode, the timing of writing the frame WF and the timing of a display cycle are different according to the target frequency f1 to be achieved. Figure 6 and Figure 8The timing of the write frame WF and the timing of a display cycle corresponding to the target frequency f1 to be achieved may also be different, and those skilled in the art may obtain the write frame WF timing and the display cycle timing corresponding to the target frequency f1 to be achieved according to the present application. In order to save space, other embodiments will not be described in detail in the present application.

[0100] Table 4 is a flicker test result table corresponding to a basic frequency f3 of 16 Hz, an intermediate frequency f2 of 64 Hz, and a target frequency f1 of 0.016 Hz.

[0101]

[0102] It can be seen from Table 4 that when the display panel adopts the ultra-low frequency driving mode with a target frequency f1 of 0.016 Hz to achieve display, the flicker degree of the display panel is still less than the specification value. Therefore, when the display panel achieves ultra-low frequency display, the human eye cannot perceive the flicker problem, so that the display panel has better display performance.

[0103] like Fig. 9 25% OPR means that 25% of the display area of ​​the screen emits light, and 10% OPR means that 25% of the display area of ​​the screen emits light. Fig. 9 It can be seen that, compared with the existing low-frequency driving mode for display, the ultra-low-frequency driving mode used in the present application reduces power consumption by 14.1% when corresponding to 25% OPR, and by 18.4% when corresponding to 10% OPR. Therefore, the purpose of reducing power consumption can be achieved, and the display device can have a better endurance.

[0104] It can be understood that the display device includes a movable display device (such as a laptop computer, a mobile phone, etc.), a fixed terminal (such as a desktop computer, a television, etc.), a measuring device (such as a sports bracelet, a thermometer, etc.), etc.

[0105] Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
