[0002] An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display substrate is a display substrate different from the traditional liquid crystal display (LCD). It has the advantages of active light emission, good temperature characteristics, low power consumption, fast response, bendability, ultra-thinness, and low cost. It has become one of the important development directions of new-generation display devices. In addition, active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display substrates have also started to stand out in the small-size field. In the corresponding display system, the corresponding gamma voltage needs to be converted into an analog gray-scale voltage for display.

[0081] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a gamma voltage conversion circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 1 shown, the gamma voltage conversion circuit includes: a first voltage division circuit 1, a Gray code control circuit 2, a first encoding circuit 3, and a first output control circuit 4.
[0082] Among them, the first voltage division circuit 1 has multiple first input terminals 101 and multiple first voltage division output terminals 102; one first input terminal 101 is configured to receive a first gamma voltage signal input by a first gamma (Gamma) channel, and the first voltage division circuit 1 is configured to generate multiple first analog voltage signals according to the first gamma voltage signal, and one first voltage division output terminal 102 is configured to output one first analog voltage signal.
[0083] The Gray code control circuit 2 is used to generate a corresponding Gray code control signal according to the gray scale value to be displayed and output it.
[0084] The first encoding circuit 3 is used to generate multiple second analog voltage signals according to the Gray code control signal and one of the multiple first analog voltage signals and output them.
[0085] The first output control circuit 4 is used to generate an analog gray scale voltage signal according to the multiple second analog voltage signals and output it.
[0086] In some embodiments, the first voltage division circuit 1 includes multiple serially connected resistors, and the connection node between any two serially connected resistors is a series node, and one series node corresponds to one first voltage division output terminal; in some embodiments, the first voltage division circuit 1 is also called a resistor string.
[0087] In some embodiments, the Gray code control signal includes a first Gray code signal and a second Gray code signal, wherein each bit of the first Gray code signal and the second Gray code signal is opposite. The first encoding circuit 3 is specifically used to generate multiple second analog voltage signals according to the first Gray code signal, the second Gray code signal, and one of the multiple first analog voltage signals and output them.
[0088] In some embodiments, the mutual conversion between binary codes and Gray codes can be performed based on the following methods: The conversion from binary codes to Gray codes includes retaining the highest bit of the binary code, taking the exclusive OR result of the highest bit and the second highest bit of the binary code as the second highest bit of the Gray code, and so on. Subsequently, taking the exclusive OR result of the previous bit and the current bit of the binary code as the current bit of the Gray code, the Gray code corresponding to the binary code can be obtained; The conversion from Gray codes to binary codes includes taking 0 and the highest bit of the Gray code as the highest bit of the binary code, taking the exclusive OR result of the highest bit of the binary code and the second highest bit of the Gray code as the second highest bit of the binary code, and so on. Subsequently, taking the exclusive OR result of the previous bit of the binary code and the current bit of the Gray code as the current bit of the binary code, the binary code corresponding to the Gray code can be obtained.
[0089] Corresponding to the current gamma voltage conversion scheme based on binary codes, problems such as display brightness jitter, uneven brightness, and power supply fluctuations will occur during the switching of each gray level. This is mainly because when performing gray level conversion based on binary codes, there may be a situation where multiple bits flip simultaneously. For example, when switching from the 127th gray level to the 128th gray level, the corresponding binary code changes from 01111111 to 10000000, and 8 bits will flip simultaneously, generating relatively large glitches and noises; At the same time, because the wire lengths and load sizes are different, the switches controlled by 8 bits cannot act simultaneously, and an intermediate state may be formed during the flip, such as from 01111111 to 00011111 and then to 10000000. The intermediate state 00011111, which is the 31st gray level, is not desired. It will cause the voltage corresponding to the 31st gray level to be briefly connected during the switching process, resulting in fluctuations in the output voltage and being unable to quickly and accurately output the required gray level, that is, the voltage corresponding to the 128th gray level, affecting the response speed and the time to reach the steady state; Moreover, due to the short charging time for each row, it is easy to cause insufficient charging at the far end and low brightness, resulting in poor uniformity of the panel and the device; Multiple bits switching simultaneously will also cause a large instantaneous load draw on the digital circuit and the analog circuit, resulting in power supply fluctuations. When using Gray codes, when switching from the 127th gray level to the 128th gray level, the corresponding Gray code changes from 01001000 to 11000000, and only the 7th bit and the 3rd bit change. Another example is when switching from the 199th gray level to the 200th gray level, the corresponding Gray code changes from 10100100 to 10101100, and only the 3rd bit changes. And in the application of Gray codes, the situation where only one bit changes accounts for the majority. Therefore, using Gray codes to participate in the conversion greatly reduces the indeterminate states during the conversion process, avoids fluctuations in the output voltage caused by non-simultaneous switching of multiple bits during the gray level switching process, enables the output to reach the target voltage more quickly and accurately, and improves the response speed.
[0090] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a coding circuit based on Gray code is used for gamma voltage conversion. During the adjacent gray-scale switching process corresponding to the Gray code, there are at most two-bit changes, avoiding multi-bit switching and the indeterminate state and intermediate state during this process, improving the response speed, reducing circuit glitches and noise, and making the brightness change of gray-scale display smoother during gray-scale-by-gray-scale switching, thereby solving problems such as display jitter and power supply fluctuations caused by gray-scale-by-gray-scale switching. Further, since the output reaches the target potential more accurately, the voltages at the far end and near end of the panel are consistent, so the brightness is consistent, and the uniformity of the panel is better.

Specifically, this structure is a specific and optional implementation scheme based on Figure 1 the gamma voltage conversion circuit shown.

[0092] Among them, each switch sub-circuit 301 includes multiple branches. Each branch has a second input terminal 3011 and multiple third input terminals 3012. One second input terminal 3011 is configured to receive a first analog voltage signal output from a first voltage-dividing output terminal, and one third input terminal 3012 is configured to receive a first preset bit of a Gray code control signal; each branch is configured to control its own on-off state according to multiple first preset bits of the Gray code control signal, and generate a to-be-output voltage signal according to the received first analog voltage signal when in the conducting state.
[0093] Among them, each output sub-circuit 302 has multiple fourth input terminals 3021 and multiple fifth input terminals 3022. One fourth input terminal 3021 is configured to receive a to-be-output voltage signal output from a switch sub-circuit 301, and one fifth input terminal 3022 is configured to receive a second preset bit of the Gray code control signal; each output sub-circuit 302 is configured to control itself to be connected to a switch sub-circuit 301 according to multiple second preset bits of the Gray code control signal, and generate and output a second analog voltage signal according to the received to-be-output voltage signal. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the circuit connected between a second input terminal and the output terminal of the switch sub-circuit is used as a branch in the switch sub-circuit.
[0094] Figure 3 FIG. is a schematic diagram of another first coding circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, this structure is a specific and optional implementation scheme based on Figure 2 the first coding circuit shown; among them, the first analog voltage signal and the first voltage-dividing output terminal correspond to the gray-scale values one by one, the second analog gray-scale voltage signal corresponds to the gray-scale values one by one, and there are 2m grayscale value, m is a positive integer.
[0095] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the multiple switch subcircuits include multiple first switch subcircuits 501 and multiple second switch subcircuits 502. Each first switch subcircuit 501 includes 2n branches, and each second switch subcircuit 502 includes 2n branches, where n is a positive integer. The first voltage-dividing output terminals are arranged in ascending order according to their corresponding grayscale values, with every n adjacent first voltage-dividing output terminals forming a group. For N groups of first voltage-dividing output terminals whose corresponding grayscale values are less than or equal to a preset first threshold, every two adjacent groups of first voltage-dividing output terminals are connected to each second input terminal 3011 within a first switch subcircuit 501, where N is a positive integer. For M groups of first voltage-dividing output terminals whose corresponding grayscale values are greater than or equal to a preset second threshold, every two adjacent groups of first voltage-dividing output terminals are connected to each second input terminal 3011 of a second switch subcircuit 502, where the second threshold is greater than the first threshold, and M is a positive integer. As shown in the figure, the first switch subcircuit 501 corresponds to the output terminal D, and the second switch subcircuit 502 corresponds to the output terminal E.
[0096] In some embodiments, m=8, n=4, the corresponding grayscale values are sorted from small to large, including level 0 to level 255, and the Gray code control signal is sorted from low to high, including bit 0 to bit 7; the first threshold is equal to the grayscale value of level 31; the second threshold is equal to the grayscale value of level 224.
[0097] Specifically, since the output of the first voltage divider circuit is nonlinear, especially when the output corresponds to low grayscale (for example, level 0 to level 31 in this embodiment) and high grayscale (for example, level 224 to level 255 in this embodiment), the nonlinearity is large, so the low grayscale and high grayscale parts need to be output grayscale by grayscale.

[0102] Among them, for the first switch sub-circuit 501, the value of i is any one of 0, 1, 2, and 3. For the second switch sub-circuit 502, the value of i is any one of 28, 29, 30, and 31. For example Figure 4aAs shown, the first switch sub-circuit 501 corresponds to the output D terminal, and the second switch sub-circuit 502 corresponds to the output E terminal.

[0105] For multiple groups of first voltage-divided output terminals whose corresponding grayscale values are greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold, where the grayscale values corresponding to each group of first voltage-divided output terminals include the smallest first grayscale value and n-1 second grayscale values, the first voltage-divided output terminals corresponding to every four adjacent first grayscale values are alternately connected to the n second input terminals 3011 of the third switch sub-circuit 503 and each second input terminal 3011 of a fourth switch sub-circuit 504. As shown in the figure, the first switch sub-circuit 501 corresponds to the output terminal B, and the second switch sub-circuit 502 corresponds to the output terminal A.
[0106] Specifically, since the output of the first voltage divider circuit is nonlinear, especially the nonlinearity is large when the output corresponds to low grayscale and high grayscale, the low grayscale and high grayscale parts need to be output grayscale by grayscale based on the first switch sub-circuit 501 and the second switch sub-circuit 502, while the grayscale located in the middle part can be output using the third switch sub-circuit and the fourth switch sub-circuit described below based on the principle of reducing the occupied area.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first output control circuit includes an operational amplifier. The input terminal of the first output control circuit is configured to receive four - way second analog voltage signals output by multiple output sub - circuits. The operational amplifier is configured to perform weighted summation according to the four - way second analog voltage signals to generate an analog gray - scale voltage signal.
[0123] Specifically, the above gamma voltage conversion circuit will be described in detail below with reference to an actual application. Taking enabling a group of first voltage division output terminals as an example, the gray scale values corresponding to this group include a first gray scale value and three second gray scale values. The first gray scale value is the 48th gray scale value, and the second gray scale values include the 49th, 50th, and 51st gray scale values. When the analog gray scale voltage signal output by the gamma voltage conversion circuit corresponds to the 48th gray scale value, the corresponding Gray code is 00100000. The first output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, the second output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, and the third output circuit outputs two paths of analog voltages corresponding to the 48th gray scale value. Thus, the first output control circuit generates and outputs the analog gray scale voltage signal corresponding to the 48th gray scale value; when the analog gray scale voltage output by the gamma voltage conversion circuit corresponds to the 49th gray scale value, its corresponding Gray code is 00100001. The first output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, the second output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 52nd gray scale value, and the third output circuit outputs two paths of analog voltages corresponding to the 48th gray scale value. Thus, the first output control circuit generates and outputs the analog gray scale voltage signal corresponding to the 49th gray scale value according to these four paths of analog voltages; when the analog gray scale voltage output by the gamma voltage conversion circuit corresponds to the 51st gray scale value, its corresponding Gray code is 00100010. The first output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, the second output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 52nd gray scale value, and the third output circuit outputs two paths of analog voltages corresponding to the 52nd gray scale value. Thus, the first output control circuit generates and outputs the analog gray scale voltage signal corresponding to the 51st gray scale value according to these four paths of analog voltages; when the analog gray scale voltage output by the gamma voltage conversion circuit corresponds to the 50th gray scale value, its corresponding Gray code is 00100011. The first output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, the second output circuit outputs the analog voltage corresponding to the 48th gray scale value, and the third output circuit outputs two paths of analog voltages corresponding to the 52nd gray scale value. Thus, the first output control circuit generates and outputs the analog gray scale voltage signal corresponding to the 50th gray scale value according to these four paths of analog voltages.
[0124] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gamma voltage conversion circuit, which can be used for gamma voltage conversion by using a coding circuit based on Gray code, etc., improving the response speed, reducing circuit glitches and noise, and making the change of gray-scale display brightness smoother during gray-scale switching one by one, thus solving problems such as display jitter and power supply fluctuation caused by gray-scale switching one by one. Further, since the output reaches the target potential more accurately, the voltages at the distal end and proximal end of the panel are consistent, so the brightness is consistent and the uniformity of the panel is better. On this basis, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a segmented coding type first coding circuit. For low gray scales and high gray scales, such as the 0th to 31st gray scales and the 224th to 255th gray scales as described above, the method of encoding and outputting gray scales one by one is adopted, and the first switching sub-circuit and the second switching sub-circuit are used for encoding and outputting. For the middle part of the gray scales, the third switching sub-circuit and the fourth switching sub-circuit are used for encoding and outputting. The analog voltages output by it correspond to the first gray-scale values of each first voltage-dividing output end, and the first output control circuit is used to generate an analog gray-scale voltage based on multiple analog voltages, realizing that while ensuring the gray-scale accuracy of the output of the gamma voltage conversion circuit, the occupied area is reduced by half.
[0125] Specifically, taking 8-bit digital-to-analog conversion as an example, a traditional switch tree structure digital-to-analog conversion circuit requires 2^9, that is, 512 switch transistors to implement 8-bit digital-to-analog conversion; while the present disclosure realizes 8-bit digital-to-analog conversion based on 6-bit digital-to-analog conversion and a 2-bit interpolation operational amplifier. Based on the above-mentioned switch transistor multiplexing structure, only 297 switch transistors need to be set, and the occupied area can be saved by half.
[0126] Figure 7 FIG. [Specific figure number] is a schematic structural diagram of another gamma voltage conversion circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, this structure is a specific and optional implementation scheme based on the Figure 1 gamma voltage conversion circuit shown.
[0127] As Figure 7 shown, this circuit further includes:
[0128] A second voltage-dividing circuit 10, having multiple sixth input terminals 103 and multiple second voltage-dividing output terminals 104.

[0130] The second output control circuit 40 is configured to generate an analog grayscale voltage signal based on multiple fourth analog voltage signals and output the same.
[0131] In some embodiments, in this circuit, both the first encoding circuit 3 and the second encoding circuit 30 include multiple switching transistors. The switching transistors of the first encoding circuit 3 are one of P-type transistors and N-type transistors, and the switching transistors of the second encoding circuit 30 are the other of P-type transistors and N-type transistors. The control gate signals corresponding to the switching transistors of the first encoding circuit 3 and the control gate signals corresponding to the switching transistors of the second encoding circuit 30 are opposite to each other bit by bit. Specifically, since the signals adopt the form of all positive half voltages, P-type transistors and N-type transistors are used to transmit high voltages and low voltages respectively.
[0132] In some embodiments, the first encoding circuit 3 and the second encoding circuit 30 are connected to the same Gray code control circuit 2, or the Gray code control circuits 2 corresponding to the first encoding circuit 3 and the second encoding circuit 30 are independently provided.

[0139] In some embodiments, in step S4, the step of generating an analog grayscale voltage signal based on the multiple second analog voltage signals and outputting the same includes: performing weighted summation on the multiple analog voltages to generate an analog grayscale voltage.
[0140] In some embodiments, the method further includes: generating multiple third analog voltage signals according to a second gamma voltage signal input through a second gamma channel; generating multiple fourth analog voltage signals according to a Gray code control signal and one of the multiple third analog voltage signals; generating and outputting an analog gray-scale voltage signal according to the multiple fourth analog voltage signals.
[0141] Figure 9 This is a flowchart of a specific implementation method for step S3 in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Specifically, as Figure 9 shown, step S3, the step of generating multiple analog voltages according to the first analog voltage signal and its corresponding Gray code control signal, includes:
[0142] Step S301: Control the on / off state of a branch of one switch sub-circuit of itself according to multiple first preset bits of the Gray code control signal, and generate a to-be-output voltage signal according to the first analog voltage signal received by the branch in the on state.
[0143] Step S302: Control the output sub-circuit of itself to be connected to the switch sub-circuit according to multiple second preset bits of the Gray code control signal, and generate and output a second analog voltage signal according to the to-be-output voltage signal.
[0144] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gamma voltage conversion method, which is applied to a corresponding gamma voltage conversion circuit. This method can be used for gamma voltage conversion based on Gray code. During the switching process between adjacent gray scales corresponding to the Gray code, at most two bits change, avoiding multi-bit switching and the indeterminate state and intermediate state during this process, improving the response speed, reducing the glitches and noise of the circuit, and making the brightness change of the gray scale display smoother during the switching of each gray scale, thus solving the problems such as display jitter and power supply fluctuation caused by the switching of each gray scale.
