Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display panel, in particular to a display driving circuit and a display panel. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of technology, the display color of LCD display screen is more and more rich, and the wide display color is usually combined with color filter (three primary colors RGB) and gray scale display (gray scale)

[0003] The implementation is realized. By controlling the brightness of RGB three sub-pixels on the liquid crystal screen respectively, the display with different colors is adjusted, and the more rich the level of intermediate brightness is, the more delicate the picture effect is. The gray between white and black can be distinguished into different levels according to the brightness (brightness level)

[0004] The performance of the difference in brightness level is called gray scale display (gray scale). According to the difference of the applied voltage, the transmittance of the LCD display screen is different, from

[0005] The gray scale display is realized. The domestic LCD display screen mainly adopts 8-bit processing system, that is, 256

[0006] (28) gray scale. Simply speaking, there are 256 kinds of brightness changes from black to white. 256x256x256=16777216 colors can be composed by using RGB three primary colors, that is, 16 million colors commonly known as.

[0007] Generally speaking, the higher the gray scale is, the more rich the display color is, and the more delicate the picture is, and it is easier to express rich details.

[0008] The gray scale of the LCD display screen refers to the number of brightness levels that can be distinguished between the darkest and the brightest in the same level of brightness. The gray scale mainly depends on the number of digital-to-analog (A / D) conversion bits of the system. Of course, the video processing chip, memory and transmission system of the system should provide corresponding

[0009] Bit support. Generally no gray, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 5 256, 1024, etc., the higher the gray level of the LCD display screen, the richer the color, the more colorful; on the contrary, the display color is simple and the change is simple. Through the combination of RGB color blocking material corresponding to the change of backlight source transmittance, different color display pictures can be obtained. Good purity color blocking material and new color block (RGBW) can increase the color gamut of the display, making the display picture more realistic. The transmittance of the pixel unit of the liquid crystal screen is controlled by the gray voltage to rotate the liquid crystal. The more the controllable gray voltage, the more the controllable transmittance, and the more the fusion color in a single pixel, making the display picture more delicate.

[0010] The input of gray voltage is controlled by IC output and transmitted to each pixel electrode through data line, and the actual voltage of liquid crystal rotation is determined by the final holding voltage transmitted to the pixel electrode by TFT device. When charging, TFT device cannot transmit gray voltage to pixel electrode with 100%, and there will be a certain loss. Therefore, in order to obtain ideal gray voltage, corresponding voltage compensation will be carried out on gray voltage, so that the final pixel holding voltage reaches the design value. The charging rate difference of different TFT devices will affect the difference of pixel transmittance. Without increasing the number of gray scale, using TFT devices with different charging rates can show more gray voltage values on the pixel unit, thereby improving the number of controllable transmittance and making the display picture more rich.

It is explicitly contemplated that embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0039] The design idea of the application is: a combination structure of switchable TFT working state is designed by using a dual-gate transistor. By switching different TFT devices for work in display, more actual gray scale voltage values can be obtained, thereby increasing the display gray scale number, providing display picture quality, and making the display panel more abundant.

[0040] The application provides a first display driving circuit, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the first embodiment of the display driving circuit of the application is shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the display driving circuit includes a dual-gate structure 10 and a gate selection unit 20 connected with the dual-gate structure 10.

[0041] The dual-gate structure 10 includes a bottom gate 11, a top gate 12, and a source and a drain controlled by the bottom gate 11 and / or the top gate 12 to be turned on, the source is connected with a data line data, and the drain is connected with a pixel electrode pxl. The bottom gate 11 is connected with a first gate drive module GOA1 through the gate selection unit 20, and the top gate 12 is connected with a second gate drive module GOA2 through the gate selection unit 20. The first gate drive module GOA1 and / or the second gate drive module GOA2 are selected by the gate selection unit 20 to control the working mode and working voltage of the gate of the dual-gate structure 10.

[0042] The dual-gate structure 10 has different charging rates under different working voltages and working modes. Different display gray scales are realized by matching the TFT devices with different charging rates with the gray scale voltages, thereby improving the display quality of the display picture.

[0043] It should be noted that the gate of the double-gate structure 10 includes two gates, i.e., the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12. The double-gate structure 10 works under the control of the separate bottom gate 11 to form a bottom-gate TFT, works under the control of the separate top gate 12 to form a top-gate TFT, and works under the simultaneous control of the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 to form a bottom-gate TFT+top-gate TFT.

[0044] Generally, the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 have different working voltages. In order to make the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 work normally, in the embodiment, the working voltages of the first gate drive module GOA1 and the second gate drive module GOA2 are different, so that the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 work at different working voltages. The working voltage refers to the working voltage at which the first gate drive module GOA1 controls the bottom gate 11 to be turned on / normal working, and the working voltage at which the second gate drive module GOA2 controls the top gate 12 to be turned on / normal working. When the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 are N-type transistors turned on at a high level, the working voltage generally refers to the high-level voltage.

[0045] In the first embodiment, the gate gating unit 20 includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected with the first control line L1, the source is connected with the first gate drive module GOA1, and the drain is connected with the bottom gate 11, so as to control the conduction of the bottom gate 11 and the first gate drive module GOA1 through the first transistor T1. The gate of the second transistor T2 is connected with the second control line L2, the source is connected with the second gate drive module GOA2, and the drain is connected with the top gate 12, so as to control the conduction of the top gate 12 and the second gate drive module GOA2 through the second transistor T2.

[0046] In the first embodiment, the gate gating unit 20 includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected with the first control line L1, the source is connected with the first gate drive module GOA1, and the drain is connected with the bottom gate 11, so as to control the conduction of the bottom gate 11 and the first gate drive module GOA1 through the first transistor T1. The gate of the second transistor T2 is connected with the second control line L2, the source is connected with the second gate drive module GOA2, and the drain is connected with the top gate 12, so as to control the conduction of the top gate 12 and the second gate drive module GOA2 through the second transistor T2.

[0047] In the first embodiment, the double-gate structure 10 includes three working modes.

[0048] The first control line L1 outputs a first-level signal to control the first transistor T1 to be turned on, and the second control line L2 outputs a second-level signal to control the second transistor T2 to be turned off, so as to obtain a first working mode in which the bottom gate 11 controls the source and the drain to be turned on. Specifically, the first working mode is that the bottom gate 11 controls the source and the drain to be turned on at the first gate voltage output by the first gate drive module GOA1, so that the data line data charges the pixel electrode pxl, that is, the bottom-gate TFT works.

[0049] The first control line L1 outputs a second level signal to control the first transistor T1 to be off, and the second control line L2 outputs a first level signal to control the second transistor T2 to be on, so as to obtain the second working mode in which the top gate 12 controls the source and drain to be on. Specifically, the second working mode refers to that the top gate TFT is controlled by the second gate voltage output by the second gate driving module GOA2 to be on, so that the data line data charges the pixel electrode pxl, that is, the top gate TFT is on.

[0050] .

[0051] The first control line L1 outputs a first level signal to control the first transistor T1 to be on, and the second control line L2 outputs a first level signal to control the second transistor T2 to be on, so as to obtain the third working mode in which the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 control the source and drain to be on. Specifically, the third working mode refers to that the bottom gate TFT is controlled by the first gate voltage output by the first gate driving module GOA1 to be on, and at the same time, the top gate TFT is controlled by the second gate voltage output by the second gate driving module GOA2 to be on, so as to charge the data line data to the pixel electrode pxl. The third working mode refers to that the bottom gate TFT and the top gate TFT work.

[0052]

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are N-type transistors, and the first level signal is a high level signal, and the second level signal is a low level signal. In another specific embodiment, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are P-type transistors, and at this time, the on-off of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is controlled by a low level signal, and the first level signal is a low level signal, and the second level signal is a high level signal. In other embodiments, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be one N-type transistor and the other P-type transistor, and the driving method and working mode are similar to the above, which will not be described herein.

[0054] In another driving mode, in the first working mode, the second transistor T2 can also be on, and at the same time, the second gate driving module GOA2 outputs a low level voltage or a zero potential voltage,

[0055]

[0056] ​​Thus, the top gate 12 is discharged using the zero-potential voltage of the second gate drive module GOA2 to prevent the residual induced charge on the top gate 12 from affecting the bottom gate 11. Similarly, in the second operating mode, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and at the same time, the first gate drive module GOA1 outputs a second-level signal or a zero-potential voltage to discharge the bottom gate 11, thereby preventing the residual induced charge on the bottom gate 11 from affecting the top gate 12.

[0057] In another embodiment, the bottom gate 11 or the top gate 12 can also be discharged via a reset unit 30. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second embodiment of the display driving circuit of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the display driving circuit also includes a reset unit 30. One end of the reset unit 30 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the bottom gate 11 and / or the top gate 12 of the dual-gate structure 10, so as to reset the potential of the other gate when one gate is working. Specifically, when the bottom gate 11 is working, the top gate 12 is grounded to reset the potential of the top gate 12, thereby preventing the residual induced charge on the top gate 12 from affecting the bottom gate 11, or when the top gate 12 is working, the bottom gate 11 is grounded to reset the potential of the bottom gate 11, thereby preventing the residual induced charge on the bottom gate 11 from affecting the top gate 12.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the reset unit 30 includes a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, and a sixth transistor T6. The gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second gate driving module GOA2, its source is connected to the drain of the sixth transistor T6, and its drain is connected to the bottom gate 11. The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first gate driving module GOA1, its source is connected to the drain of the sixth transistor T6, and its drain is connected to the top gate 12. The gate of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the fourth control line L4, its source is grounded, and its drain is connected to the sources of both the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. This allows the sixth transistor T6 to control the conduction of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 to ground, making it easier to control the conduction of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 to ground.

[0059] In other embodiments, the reset unit 30 may also be other circuit structures, such as a single-pole double-throw switch circuit, which is not limited here.

[0060] Specifically, the driving mode of the reset unit 30 in the second embodiment includes: in the first working mode of the bottom-gate TFT, the bottom gate 11 is at a high level under the driving of the first gate driving module GOA1, the fifth transistor T5 is in an open state, at this time, the sixth transistor T6 is opened by the first level signal of the fourth control line L4, so that the top gate 12 is grounded through T5 and T6, thereby resetting the potential of the top gate 12. In the second working mode of the top-gate TFT, the top gate 12 is at a high level under the driving of the second gate driving module GOA2, the fourth transistor T4 is in an open state, at this time, the sixth transistor T6 is opened by the first level signal of the fourth control line L4, so that the bottom gate 11 is grounded through T4 and T6, thereby resetting the potential of the bottom gate 11. In the third working mode of the bottom-gate TFT+top-gate TFT, the fourth control line L4 outputs the second level signal to control the sixth transistor T6 to be closed, preventing the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 from being grounded, thereby ensuring the normal work of the bottom-gate TFT+top-gate TFT.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 can be N-type transistors, and the first level signal is a high level signal, and the second level signal is a low level signal. In another specific embodiment, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are P-type transistors, at this time, the conduction of the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 is controlled by a low level signal, and the first level signal is a low level signal, and the second level signal is a high level signal.

[0065] ​The gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first control line L1, the source is connected to the first gate drive module GOA1, and the drain is connected to the bottom gate 11. The conduction of the bottom gate 11 and the first gate drive module GOA1 is controlled by the first transistor T1.

Specifically, the first working mode is that the bottom gate 11 controls the source and the drain to be turned on under the first gate voltage, so that the data line data charges the pixel electrode pxl. That is, the first working mode refers to the bottom gate TFT+GOA1 working.

Specifically, the third working mode is that the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 control the source and the drain to be turned on under the first gate voltage, so that the data line data charges the pixel electrode pxl. That is, the third working mode refers to the bottom gate TFT + the top gate TFT + the GOA1 working. In the third working mode, the bottom gate 11 plays a main role, and the top gate 12 plays a promoting role.

[0070] The first control line L1 outputs a second level signal to control the first transistor T1 to be turned off, the second control line L2 outputs a first level signal to control the second transistor T2 to be turned on, and the third control line L3 outputs a first level signal to control the third transistor T3 to be turned on, thereby controlling the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 to be turned on, so that the fourth working mode is obtained in which the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 control the source and the drain to be turned on under the second gate voltage output by the second gate driving module GOA2. Specifically, the fourth working mode is that the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 control the source and the drain to be turned on under the second gate voltage, so that the data line data charges the pixel electrode pxl. That is, the fourth working mode refers to the bottom gate TFT + the top gate TFT + the GOA2 working. In the fourth working mode, the top gate 12 plays a main role, and the bottom gate 11 plays a promoting role.

[0071] In the embodiment, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are all N-type transistors, the first level signal is a high-level voltage, and the second level signal is a low-level voltage. In another specific embodiment, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are P-type transistors, at this time, the turning on of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 is controlled by a low-level signal, then the first level signal is a low-level voltage, and the second level signal is a high-level voltage. In other embodiments, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 can be partially N-type transistors and partially P-type transistors, which are not limited herein.

[0072] In the embodiment, the bottom gate TFT and the top gate TFT of the double-gate structure 10 are both N-type transistors, then the first gate voltage at which the first gate driving module GOA1 works and the second gate voltage at which the second gate driving module GOA2 works are both high-level voltages. In other embodiments, they can also be P-type transistors, which are not limited herein.

[0073] In another embodiment, to prevent residual charge on the voltage of the other gate in the dual-gate structure 10 from affecting the gate in operation when the single-bottom-gate TFT or single-top-gate TFT is working, this application also provides a fourth display driving circuit, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fourth embodiment of the display driving circuit of this application. Figure 4 As shown, based on the third embodiment, the display driving circuit further includes a reset unit 30. One end of the reset unit 30 is grounded, and the other end is connected to the bottom gate 11 and / or the top gate 12 of the dual-gate structure 10, so as to reset the potential of the other gate when one gate is working. Specifically, when the bottom gate 11 is working, the top gate 12 is grounded to reset the potential of the top gate 12, thereby preventing the residual induced charge on the top gate 12 from affecting the bottom gate 11, or when the top gate 12 is working, the bottom gate 11 is grounded to reset the potential of the bottom gate 11, thereby preventing the residual induced charge on the bottom gate 11 from affecting the top gate 12.

[0074] In one specific embodiment, the reset unit 30 includes a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, and a sixth transistor T6. The gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second gate driving module GOA2, its source is connected to the drain of the sixth transistor T6, and its drain is connected to the bottom gate 11. The gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the first gate driving module GOA1, its source is connected to the drain of the sixth transistor T6, and its drain is connected to the top gate 12. The gate of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the fourth control line L4, its source is grounded, and its drain is connected to the sources of both the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. This allows the sixth transistor T6 to control the conduction of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 to ground, making it easier to control the conduction of the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 to ground.

[0075] In other embodiments, the reset unit 30 can also not be provided, and the bottom gate 11 or the top gate 12 can be discharged directly by the low voltage of the first gate drive module GOA1 and the second gate drive module GOA2. Specifically, in the first working mode of the bottom gate TFT+GOA1, the second transistor T2 is controlled to be turned on by the second control line L2, and at the same time, the second gate drive module GOA2 outputs a low voltage or a zero potential voltage, so that the top gate 12 is discharged by the low voltage of the second gate drive module GOA2, to avoid the influence of the residual induced charge on the top gate 12 on the bottom gate 11. Similarly, in the second working mode of the top gate TFT+GOA2, the first transistor T1 is controlled to be turned on by the first control line L1, and at the same time, the first gate drive module GOA1 outputs a low voltage or a zero potential voltage, so that the first gate drive module GOA1 discharges the bottom gate 11, to avoid the influence of the residual induced charge on the bottom gate 11 on the top gate 12. In the third and fourth working modes, the bottom gate 11 or the top gate 12 does not need to be reset, and the first gate drive module GOA1 and the second gate drive module GOA2 can normally work. This is not limited here.

[0076] In other embodiments, the gate selection unit 20 can also be other circuit structures, which are not limited here. Compared with the structure of the gate selection unit 20 in the first and second embodiments, the gate selection unit 20 in the third and fourth embodiments can achieve more gray scales.

[0077] It should be noted that the "first", "second", and the like in the present application do not limit the order of the transistors.

[0078] Generally, the on-state current of the dual-gate TFT is higher than that of the single-gate TFT, and the charging rate of the dual-gate TFT is better than that of the single-gate TFT. The charging rate of the TFT is different, and the display gray scale of the pixel electrode controlled thereby is also different. Therefore, in actual application, different types of TFTs can be designed to have a certain gradient change according to the charging rate, to achieve the charging rate of different working modes, thereby improving the display gray scale of the display picture.

[0079] In the first and second embodiments, the charging rate of the dual-gate structure 10 in the third working mode of the bottom gate TFT+top gate TFT can be designed to be greater than that in the first working mode of the bottom gate TFT, and greater than that in the second working mode of the top gate TFT. That is, the charging rate of the bottom gate TFT+top gate TFT is greater than that of the bottom gate TFT, and greater than that of the top gate TFT, so as to realize three different display gray scales under the same gray scale voltage, and further increase the display gray scale.

[0080] In the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment, the charging rate of the dual-gate structure 10 in the third working mode is greater than the charging rate in the first working mode, the charging rate in the first working mode is greater than the charging rate in the fourth working mode, and the charging rate in the fourth working mode is greater than the charging rate in the second working mode. That is, the charging rate of the bottom-gate TFT + top-gate TFT + GOA1 working mode > the charging rate of the bottom-gate TFT + GOA1 working mode > the charging rate of the bottom-gate TFT + top-gate TFT + GOA2 working mode > the charging rate of the top-gate TFT + GOA2 working mode. In a specific embodiment, different charging rates can be achieved by designing the areas of the top-gate layer and the bottom-gate layer of the dual-gate structure, which is not limited herein. Specifically, the charging rate of the bottom-gate TFT + GOA1 working mode > the charging rate of the bottom-gate TFT + top-gate TFT + GOA2 working mode can be achieved by increasing the area of the bottom-gate layer, which is not limited herein, or can also be achieved by setting the voltages on the first gate drive module GOA1 and the second gate drive module GOA2, which is not limited herein.

[0081] In other specific embodiments, the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 can also be connected to the same gate control module through different transistors, that is, the working modes of the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 are controlled by the same gate control module. However, in general, there is a difference between the working voltages of the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the normal working of the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12, the working voltages of the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 are controlled by the first gate drive module GOA1 and the second gate drive module GOA2, respectively, which is not limited herein.

[0082] It should be noted that the present embodiment is a preferred embodiment, but is not limited to the specific implementation in the present embodiment, and the implementation in other embodiments also belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0084] The present application also provides a display panel, which is described in detail in the following. Figure 6 , Figure 6Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown in Fig. 1, the display panel comprises a plurality of pixel units 601 arranged in an array, each of which comprises a display driving circuit as described in the above embodiments.

[0085] In the second embodiment, in order to improve the utilization of the display panel, the bottom gate 11 of the double-gate structure 10 of the pixel unit 601 in the same row is connected to the same first gate driving module GOA1 through the same first transistor T1, and the top gate 12 of the double-gate structure 10 of the pixel unit 601 in the same row is connected to the same second gate driving module GOA2 through the same second transistor T2. Meanwhile, the bottom gate 11 and the top gate 12 of the double-gate structure are connected through a third transistor T3. For details, please refer to Fig. 2. Figure 7 , Figure 7 Fig. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel according to a second embodiment of the present application.

[0086] In the second embodiment, each pixel unit 601 comprises a double-gate structure 10, and the double-gate structures 10 in the pixel units 601 in the same row are connected to the first gate driving module GOA1 and the second gate driving module GOA2 through a gate selection unit 20.

[0087] In the second embodiment, the double-gate structures 10 in the same row are also connected to the ground through a reset unit 30. The double-gate structures 10 in the pixel units 601 in the same row are controlled through the reset unit 30, so that the pixel units 601 in the same row display the same gray scale display screen.

[0088] In the second embodiment, the gate selection units 20 and the reset units 30 connected to the pixel units 601 in adjacent two rows are staggered. That is, one side of the pixel unit 301 in the current row is connected to the gate selection unit 20, and the other side is connected to the reset unit 30, and one side of the pixel unit 601 in the next row is connected to the reset unit 30, and the other side is connected to the gate selection unit 20. In other embodiments, the gate selection units 20 and the reset units 30 can also be not staggered, that is, one side of the pixel unit 601 in each row is connected to the gate selection unit 20, and the other side is connected to the reset unit 30, which is not limited herein.

[0089] The present application also provides a graph showing the relationship between the transmittance and the applied voltage, for details, please refer to Fig. 3. Figure 8 , Figure 8 Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the transmittance and the applied voltage in a TFT-LCD. As shown in Fig. 3, the gray area is the part that needs to be controlled by selecting the gray scale voltage to change the transmittance of the liquid crystal. Figure 8 Figure 8 ​As can be seen, in the gray scale voltage selection range, the change of the applied voltage causes the transmittance of the light in the liquid crystal screen to also present a continuous change, and thus the display of the light and dark change can be replaced by the change of the gray scale voltage. The specific steps of increasing the display gray scale number are as follows:

[0090] First, the VT curve of the product liquid crystal in operation is determined, and then the selectable gray scale voltage range is determined.

[0091] Second, four TFTs with different charging rates under the control of GOA1 and GOA2 respectively are simulated and designed, and the charging rates are: bottom gate + top gate + GOA1 work > bottom gate + GOA1 work > bottom gate + top gate + GOA2 work > top gate + GOA2 work.

[0092] Third, different TFTs are switched. The actual value of the gray scale voltage is composed of the gray scale voltage setting value and the compensation value, which is caused by the characteristics of the TFT device itself. The loss of the charging rate will cause the actual pixel voltage to deviate from the gray scale setting value, so the compensation value is needed to make up for it. When the same actual gray scale voltage value is input, the actual voltage transmitted to the pixel electrode by the TFTs with different charging rates will be different, thereby increasing the number of actual pixel electrode voltages, enriching the display picture in actual display, and being conducive to improving the display quality.

[0093] In actual application, if the gray scale compensation value can be controllably adjusted, the driving IC can perform controllable changes of the gray scale compensation value according to the picture display, so that theoretically more refined gray scale segmentation can be realized without increasing the gray scale number.

[0094] In the embodiment, the conversion of the light and dark effect of the display picture can also be realized by switching the working mode of the TFT. Specifically, the display is equipped with a corresponding sensor to perceive the change of the external light intensity. When the external light intensity is high (daytime) or dark (night), the sensor feeds back to the driving IC end (control end), the driving IC sends a control signal, and the TFT is selected and switched to work, thereby reducing the light intensity ratio of the display area to the environment light and reducing visual fatigue. The change of the screen brightness can also be realized by directly adjusting the change of the backlight brightness.

[0095] The beneficial effects of the embodiment are: the working mode of the TFT in the double-gate structure is selected by selecting the first transistor, the second transistor and the third transistor in the selection circuit, the picture display of different gray scales is realized by designing the charging rate under different working modes, the gray scale number of the picture display is increased by switching the working mode of the TFT, and the picture display quality is improved.
