TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a display panel, a driving method thereof and a display device. BACKGROUND
[0002] A display device, such as a mobile phone, usually sets a camera under the screen (referred to as an under-screen camera product). In order to ensure the light transmittance of the area where the camera is set, the pixel aperture ratio of the area of the display screen corresponding to the camera is usually lower than that of other areas. In this case, if the same driving voltage is used for the entire display screen, due to the difference in pixel aperture ratio, the area where the camera is set and other areas will present a difference in brightness, affecting the display effect. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, a driving method thereof and a display device to solve the problem of brightness difference between different display areas of the under-screen camera product in the prior art.
[0004] The first aspect of the present application provides a display panel having a first display area and a second display area, the display panel comprising a sub-pixel array, the sub-pixel array comprising a plurality of first sub-pixel columns located in the first display area and a plurality of second sub-pixel columns located in the second display area, the first sub-pixel columns and the second sub-pixel columns forming a pixel array, the aperture ratio of a sub-pixel in the first sub-pixel column being greater than the aperture ratio of a sub-pixel in the second sub-pixel column. The display panel further comprises: at least one gate signal line; at least one data signal line; a gate module having an input end connected to the at least one gate signal line and the at least one data signal line and an output end connected to the plurality of first sub-pixel columns and an adjustable resistance module; and the adjustable resistance module having an output end connected to the plurality of second sub-pixel columns. The gate module is configured to gate one data signal line in the at least one data signal line based on a gate signal received by the at least one gate signal line in sequence and output a driving voltage on the gated data signal line, and the adjustable resistance module is configured to output the driving voltage to the plurality of second sub-pixel columns after step-down.
[0005] The second aspect of the present application provides a driving method of a display panel for driving the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application. The driving method comprises: obtaining a gray scale voltage signal of a to-be-displayed image frame and a gate signal, the timing of the gate signal being the same as that of a row scanning signal of a sub-pixel array; providing respective driving voltages of different color sub-pixels in the gray scale voltage signal to at least one data signal line; and sequentially providing the gate signal to at least one gate signal line to enable the display panel to display the to-be-displayed image frame.
[0006] The third aspect of the present application provides a display device comprising the display panel provided by any of the above embodiments.
[0007] According to the display panel and its driving method and display device provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting an adjustable resistor module in the display panel, a portion of the driving voltage is consumed by the adjustable resistor module before being provided to the second sub-pixel column, so that the driving voltage obtained by the sub-pixels of the second sub-pixel column is less than the driving voltage (Vdata) obtained by the sub-pixels of the first sub-pixel column. Since the light-emitting device in the sub-pixel is a P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOS), the smaller the driving voltage Vdata obtained by the light-emitting device, the higher the brightness, thereby making the brightness of the main and sub-screens consistent.

[0013] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the driving method for a display panel provided in the second embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an under-display camera product in related technologies. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this under-display camera product is, for example, a mobile phone. The mobile phone includes a display screen 11, which comprises a main screen area A and a secondary screen area B. The pixel aperture ratio of the main screen area A is greater than that of the secondary screen area B, resulting in higher light transmittance in the secondary screen area B compared to the main screen area A. The mobile phone also includes a camera 12, which is located on the non-display side of the secondary screen area B. Because the light transmittance of the secondary screen area B is higher than that of the main screen area A, it can be ensured that the camera 12 can capture sufficient light, thereby ensuring image capture quality.
[0015] for Figure 1 As shown in the under-display camera product, because the pixel aperture ratio of the main screen area A is greater than that of the secondary screen area B, the brightness of the main screen area A is higher than that of the secondary screen area B under the same driving voltage, resulting in a brightness difference that affects the display effect.
[0016] Therefore, the display panel, the manufacturing method thereof and the display device are provided. The adjustable resistance module is arranged in the display panel. The adjustable resistance module consumes part of the driving voltage, and then provides the sub-pixel in the secondary screen area B, so that the driving voltage obtained by the sub-pixel in the secondary screen is less than the driving voltage obtained by the sub-pixel in the primary screen. Since the light emitting device in the sub-pixel is a positive channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor (PMOS), the driving voltage V data The smaller the size is, the higher the brightness is, so that the brightness of the primary screen and the secondary screen is consistent.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0019] The sub-pixel array 22 includes a plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 and a plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222. The aperture ratio of the sub-pixels in the first sub-pixel column 221 is greater than the aperture ratio of the sub-pixels in the second sub-pixel column 222. The plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 and the plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222 are arranged in zones, that is, the plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 are arranged in a first display area, and the plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222 are arranged in a second display area. The first display area and the second display area are adjacent. In this case, the non-display side of the second display area can be arranged with a camera.

The plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 includes first arrangement columns DL1 and second arrangement columns DL2, the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the first arrangement columns DL1 is for example GRBGRB....., and the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the second arrangement columns DL2 is for example BGRBGR....... The plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222 includes third arrangement columns DL3 and fourth arrangement columns DL4, the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the third arrangement columns DL3 is the same as the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the first arrangement columns DL1, and the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the fourth arrangement columns DL4 is the same as the arrangement of the sub-pixels in the second arrangement columns DL2.

[0022] Wherein, a predetermined number of adjacent sub-pixels in the sub-pixel array 22 constitute a pixel unit. For example, as shown in Figure 2 Each of the three adjacent sub-pixels constitutes a pixel unit, and the three sub-pixels include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. The number of the at least one gate signal line sgn (n = 1, 2, 3,...) depends on the number of rows occupied by the sub-pixels in the pixel unit. For example Figure 2 As shown in
[0023] The at least one data signal line Vm and the at least one gate signal line sgn are arranged in parallel. The number of the at least one data signal line Vm (m = 1, 2, 3,...) depends on the type of the color of the sub-pixels contained in the sub-pixel array 22. For example, as shown in Figure 2 The sub-pixel array 22 includes three colors of sub-pixels, and the at least one data signal line Vm (m = 1, 2, 3,...) includes three data signal lines, denoted as V1, V2 and V3.
[0024] The input end of the gate module 241 is connected with at least one gate signal line sgn (n = 1, 2, 3,...) and at least one data signal line Vm (m = 1, 2, 3,...), and the output end is connected with the plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 and the adjustable resistance module 242.
[0025] Specifically, the gate module 241 includes a plurality of gate units, and the plurality of gate units are connected one by one with the plurality of first sub-pixel columns 221 and the plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222. For example, as shown in Figure 2 The plurality of gate units include a first gate unit 2411, a second gate unit 2412, a third gate unit 2413, and a fourth gate unit 2414.

[0026] The circuit structures of the gate units connected by the first sub-pixel column 221 and the second sub-pixel column 222 with the same sub-pixel arrangement are the same. The same circuit structure means that the components included in the gate unit are the same, and the connection relationship between the components is the same. For example, the circuit structures of the first gate unit 2411 and the third gate unit 2413 are the same, and the circuit structures of the second gate unit 2412 and the fourth gate unit 2414 are the same.

The gate of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the first selection signal line sg1, its source is connected to the adjustable resistor module 242, and its drain is connected to the third data signal line V3. The gate of the eleventh transistor T11 is connected to the second selection signal line sg2, its source is connected to the adjustable resistor module 242, and its drain is connected to the first data signal line V1. The gate of the twelfth transistor T12 is connected to the third selection signal line sg3, its source is connected to the adjustable resistor module 242, and its drain is connected to the second data signal line V2.
[0032] The output of the adjustable resistor module 242 is connected to a plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222. Specifically, the adjustable resistor module 242 includes at least one adjustable resistor group, which is connected to the plurality of second sub-pixel columns 222 in a one-to-one or one-to-many manner.
[0033] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjustable resistor module 242 includes multiple adjustable resistor groups, which are connected to multiple second sub-pixel columns 222 in a one-to-one manner. Specifically, the adjustable resistor module 242 includes a first adjustable resistor group 2421 and a second adjustable resistor group 2422. The first adjustable resistor group 2421 is connected to the third arrangement column DL3 and the third gating unit 2413, and the second adjustable resistor group 2422 is connected to the fourth arrangement column DL4 and the fourth gating unit 2414.
[0034] The first adjustable resistor group 2421 includes a first adjustable resistor R1, a second adjustable resistor R2, and a third adjustable resistor R3.

[0036] According to the display panel provided in any of the above embodiments, the gating module 241 is used to select one of the at least one data signal lines based on the gating signals received sequentially by at least one gating signal line, and outputs the driving voltage on the selected data signal line. The adjustable resistor module is used to step down the driving voltage and output it to multiple second sub-pixel columns. Specifically, at least one gating signal line sgn (n = 1, 2, 3...) receives the gating signal sequentially, and at least one data signal line Vm (m = 1, 2, 3...) receives at least one driving voltage respectively. At least one driving voltage corresponds one-to-one with the color of the sub-pixel in the sub-pixel array 22, that is, at least one driving voltage is used to drive sub-pixels of different colors respectively. The gating module 241 outputs at least one driving voltage sequentially column by column to the sub-pixels of corresponding colors in multiple first sub-pixel columns 221 and the adjustable resistor module 242 based on the gating signal. The adjustable resistor module 242 steps down the driving voltage and outputs it to the sub-pixels of corresponding colors in multiple second sub-pixel columns 222, that is, the adjustable resistor module 242 consumes part of the driving voltage. Since the light-emitting device in the sub-pixel is a P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS), the lower the voltage, the higher the brightness, thus making the brightness of sub-pixels of the same color in the second sub-pixel column 222 and the first sub-pixel column 221 consistent.
[0037] Figure 2The display panel shown can also include a driving chip (not shown in the figure). The driving chip is connected with the adjustable resistance module 242. The driving chip pre-stores a corresponding relationship between driving voltage and resistance value, which is obtained by debugging the adjustable resistance module 242. The debugging process will be described in detail below. The driving chip is used to control the adjustable resistance module to adjust the resistance value according to at least one driving voltage and the corresponding relationship between the driving voltage and the resistance value, so that the luminance of the second sub-pixel column 222 and the first sub-pixel column 221 is consistent.
[0038] Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of the display panel provided by the second embodiment of the present application is shown. The display panel provided by the second embodiment of the present application is shown in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 2 The difference between the display panel provided by the second embodiment of the present application and the display panel shown in Figure 2 is that the first arrangement mode column DL1 and the third arrangement mode column DL3 share the third gating unit 2413, thereby omitting the first gating unit 2431. The second arrangement mode column DL2 and the fourth arrangement mode column DL4 share the fourth gating unit 2414, thereby omitting the second gating unit 2412.
[0039] Specifically, the output end of the third gating unit 2413 is connected with the first adjustable resistance group 2421 in addition to the first arrangement mode column DL1. As shown in Figure 3 , the source electrode of the seventh transistor T7, the eighth transistor T8 and the ninth transistor T9 is respectively connected with the first arrangement mode column DL1. The output end of the fourth gating unit 2414 is connected with the second adjustable resistance 2412 in addition to the second arrangement mode column DL2. As shown in Figure 3 , the source electrode of the tenth transistor T10, the eleventh transistor T11 and the twelfth transistor T12 is respectively connected with the second arrangement mode column DL2.
[0040] According to the display panel provided by the second embodiment of the present application, compared with the display panel shown in Figure 2 , the number of gating units in the display panel shown in Figure 3 is smaller, thereby saving the occupied space, and the gating units in the display panel shown in Figure 2 are easier to wire.
[0041] Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the display panel provided by the third embodiment of the present application is shown. By comparing the embodiments shown in Figure 4 and Figure 2 , the difference between the display panel shown in Figure 4 and the display panel shown in Figure 2 is that, Figure 4 in the display panel shown in , at least one adjustable resistance group is connected with multiple second sub-pixel columns 222 in a one-to-many manner.
[0042] Specifically, the multiple second sub-pixel columns 222 include multiple pixel arrangement repeating units U, and the multiple pixel arrangement repeating units U include an M*N second sub-pixel array. The multiple second sub-pixel columns include multiple pixel units, and each pixel unit includes multiple sub-pixels of different colors. The value of M depends on the number of rows occupied by the multiple sub-pixels contained in the pixel unit, and N is any positive integer. The pixel arrangement repeating units U include an integer number of pixel units, and the multiple pixel arrangement repeating units U arranged sequentially can obtain a sub-pixel array with a predetermined arrangement. For example, for... Figure 4 In the RGB arrangement shown, the M*N second sub-pixel array is a 3*4 second sub-pixel array.
[0043] In an M*N second subpixel array, subpixels of the same color are connected to the same pixel circuit. Continuing the previous example, for a 3*4 second subpixel array, it includes subpixels of three colors, with four subpixels of the same color. These four subpixels of the same color are connected to the same pixel circuit; that is, the anodes of the four subpixels are each connected to the same pixel circuit. The pixel circuit can be positioned between the first and second display areas, thus avoiding affecting the light transmittance of the second display area.
[0044] In an M*N second subpixel array, subpixels of different colors are connected to multiple pixel circuits, each connected to an adjustable resistor group. Continuing the previous example, a 3*4 second subpixel array includes subpixels of three colors. Subpixels of the same color are connected to the same pixel circuit, meaning the 3*4 second subpixel array connects to three pixel circuits, and these three pixel circuits are connected to the same adjustable resistor group.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the subpixel array includes a 6*4 subpixel array. The first display area includes four first subpixel columns 221, and the second display area includes four second subpixel columns 222. Each of the four second subpixel columns 222 includes two repeating pixel arrangement units U arranged along a first direction x.
[0046] The gating module 24 includes 5 gating units, i.e., 2 first gating units 2411, 2 second gating units 2412, and 1 third gating unit 2413. Among them, the first first gating unit 2411 is connected with the first first arrangement mode column DL1 of the first display area, and the second first gating unit 2411 is connected with the second first arrangement mode column DL1 of the first display area. The first second gating unit 2412 is connected with the first second arrangement mode column DL2 of the first display area, and the second second gating unit 2412 is connected with the second second arrangement mode column DL2 of the first display area. The third gating unit 2413 is connected with one adjustable resistance group 2421, and the adjustable resistance group 2421 is connected with two pixel arrangement repeating units U. Specifically, the two pixel arrangement repeating units U are linearly arranged along the first direction x, and the two pixel arrangement repeating units U include two third arrangement mode columns DL3, and the adjustable resistance group 2412 is connected with one of the two third arrangement mode columns DL3.
[0047] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 4 In the repeating unit composed of 3 rows * (4 columns of first sub-pixel columns 221 + 4 rows of second sub-pixel columns 222), 2 first gating units 2411, 2 second gating units 2412, and 1 third gating unit 2413 need to be correspondingly arranged. Among them, in the first direction x, with the increase of one pixel arrangement repeating unit U, one third gating unit 2413 is correspondingly added. In the first direction x, with the increase of one first arrangement mode column DL1, one first gating unit 2411 is correspondingly added. In the first direction x, with the increase of one second arrangement mode column DL2, one second gating unit 2412 is correspondingly added.
[0048] According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, and Figure 2 Compared with the display panel shown in the figure, the number of gating units and adjustable resistance units is saved, the circuit complexity is reduced, and the occupied space is saved.
[0049] Figure 5 The flowchart of the driving method of the display panel provided by the first embodiment of the present application is shown. The driving method can be used in the debugging process of the adjustable resistance module in the display panel provided by any of the above embodiments. As shown in Figure 5 The driving method 500 includes:
[0050] In step S510, the gray scale voltage signal of the image frame to be displayed and the gate signal are obtained, and the timing of the gate signal and the row scanning signal of the sub-pixel array is the same.
[0051] In step S520, the driving voltage of each color sub-pixel in the gray scale voltage signal is provided to at least one data signal line.
[0052] Step S530, the gate signal is provided to at least one gate signal line in sequence, so that the display panel displays the image frame to be displayed.
[0053] Step S540, the luminance difference between the first display area and the second display area is obtained.
[0054] Step S550, the resistance value of the adjustable resistance module is adjusted based on the luminance difference, so that the luminance of the first display area and the second display area is the same.
[0055] Next, the driving method 500 is specifically described by taking the display panel shown in the figure as an example. Figure 2
[0056] Taking the green sub-pixel as an example, the adjustment principle of the adjustable resistance module 242 is as follows.
[0057] (1) The main screen area and the auxiliary screen area are driven to display green pictures at the same time according to the conventional driving method.
[0058] (2) The photoelectric probe is used to detect the first luminance value LA of the main screen area and the second luminance value LB of the auxiliary screen area respectively, and the light-emitting current value IA of the second luminance value LB and the light-emitting current value IB of the auxiliary screen area are obtained.
[0059] (3) Since the data voltages for driving the main screen area and the auxiliary screen area are equal, the main screen area and the auxiliary screen area have the following corresponding relationship: IA*RA=IB*RB=Vdata (Formula One). Wherein, RA represents the total power consumption resistance in the display process (1), RB represents the total power consumption resistance in the display process (2), and Vdata represents the data voltage.
[0060] (4) The light-emitting time, frame period and light-emitting efficiency of the main screen area and the auxiliary screen area are the same. Since the luminance is proportional to the average current in a frame * light-emitting efficiency * aperture ratio, and the average current in a frame * light-emitting efficiency * aperture ratio = light-emitting stage current × light-emitting time / frame period × light-emitting efficiency * aperture ratio. Therefore, the luminance LA of the display process (1) and the luminance LB of the display process (2) have the following corresponding relationship: LA:LB=(IA*KA):(IB*KB) (Formula Two). Wherein, KA represents the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel in the first sub-pixel column 221, and KB represents the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel in the second sub-pixel column 222.
[0061] (5) Combining Formula One and Formula Two, we can get: LA:LB=(RB*KA):(RA*KB).
[0062] In this case, in order to make LA and LB consistent during actual luminance adjustment, it is necessary to make RB*KA and RA*KB equal. After the display panel is produced, KA and KB are fixed values. From the perspective of production, it is impossible to change the values of KA and KB. Therefore, in order to make LA and LB consistent, it is necessary to make the resistance value of the adjustable resistance module 242 equal to the resistance value of the main screen area and the resistance value of the auxiliary screen area. Figure 2 It can be seen from the circuit diagram that by adjusting the resistance values of the second adjustable resistor R2 and the fifth adjustable resistor R5, the adjustment of the RB can be realized, so that the brightness of the green sub-pixels of the main screen area and the auxiliary screen area is consistent. It should be noted that as long as the combination of the resistance values of the second adjustable resistor R2 and the fifth adjustable resistor R5 can satisfy the formula given in step (5), there is no fixed relationship constraint between the second adjustable resistor R2 and the fifth adjustable resistor R5.
[0063] It can be seen from the above debugging principle of the green sub-pixel that by adjusting the resistance values of the first adjustable resistor R1 and the sixth adjustable resistor R6, the brightness consistency of the red sub-pixel of the main screen and the auxiliary screen can be realized. By adjusting the resistance values of the third adjustable resistor R3 and the fourth adjustable resistor R4, the brightness consistency of the blue sub-pixel of the main screen and the auxiliary screen can be realized.
[0064] The debugging process of the green sub-pixel includes:
[0065] According to step S510, the gray scale voltage signal and the gate signal of the green image frame to be displayed are obtained. The gray scale voltage signal includes the driving voltage corresponding to each color sub-pixel.
