[0059] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0060] In all embodiments of this invention, the transistors used can be thin-film transistors, field-effect transistors, or other devices with similar characteristics. In these embodiments, to distinguish between the two electrodes of the transistor other than the gate, one electrode is referred to as the first electrode, and the other as the second electrode.
[0061] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first electrode can be the drain and the second electrode can be the source; or, the first electrode can be the source and the second electrode can be the drain.
[0062] The display control circuit described in this embodiment of the invention is included in the display panel, such as... Figure 1As shown, the display panel also includes a pixel circuit P1, a driver integrated circuit D0, and an image generator S1; the driver integrated circuit D0 is used to provide a data provision indication signal TE; the pixel circuit P1 is connected to a compensation control signal SC and a light emission control signal EM, and is used to perform threshold voltage compensation under the control of the compensation control signal SC and to perform light emission control under the control of the light emission control signal EM.
[0063] The display control circuit 10 is used to control the frequency of the data providing indication signal TE to a first frequency after the refresh frame ends. The first frequency is 1 / n times the light emission control frequency, where n is a positive integer. The light emission control frequency is the frequency of the light emission control signal EM.
[0064] The image generator S1 is used to determine whether the current image is a dynamic image or a static image based on the current data voltage, and provides the determination result to the display control circuit 10.
[0065] The display control circuit 10 is configured to, after the refresh frame ends, when the potential of the data providing indication signal TE is an effective voltage, and when the judgment result indicates that the current screen is a static screen, control the potential of the compensation control signal SC to remain an ineffective voltage before the next effective voltage time period of the data providing indication signal TE. It is also configured to, after the refresh frame ends, when the potential of the data providing indication signal TE is an effective voltage, and when the judgment result indicates that the current screen is a dynamic screen, control the potential of the compensation control signal SC to be an effective voltage during at least a portion of the next ineffective voltage time period of the light emission control signal EM, so as to refresh the potential of the control terminal of the driving circuit in the pixel circuit.
[0066] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the effective voltage of the data providing indication signal TE can mean that the potential of TE is a high voltage;
[0067] The effective voltage time period of the indicator signal TE provided by the data can refer to the time period during which the potential of TE is maintained at a high voltage.
[0068] The fact that the potential of the compensation control signal SC is maintained at an invalid voltage can mean that: when the transistor controlled by the compensation control signal SC is an n-type transistor, the potential of SC is low; when the transistor controlled by the compensation control signal SC is a p-type transistor, the potential of SC is high.
[0069] The fact that the potential of the compensation control signal SC is maintained at an effective voltage can mean that: when the transistor controlled by the compensation control signal SC is an n-type transistor, the potential of SC is high; when the transistor controlled by the compensation control signal SC is a p-type transistor, the potential of SC is low.
[0070] When the transistor controlled by the light emission control signal EM is a p-type transistor, the invalid voltage period of the light emission control signal EM can refer to the period during which the light emission control signal EM is continuously a high voltage signal.
[0071] When the transistor controlled by the light emission control signal EM is an n-type transistor, the invalid voltage period of the light emission control signal EM can refer to the period during which the light emission control signal EM is continuously at a low voltage.
[0072] This invention relates to a timing design scheme that enables fine-grained frequency reduction. Compared to related Frame Skip frequency reduction, which can only be based on integer multiples of the base frequency (e.g., when the base frequency is 120Hz, the refresh rate can only be reduced to 120Hz / n, where n is a positive integer), the display control circuit described in this invention can control and implement more fine-grained frequency reduction operations. For example, when the base frequency is 120Hz, using the display control circuit described in this invention, the refresh rate can be reduced to 240Hz / b, where b can be an integer greater than 2. That is, the refresh rate can be reduced to 80Hz, 60Hz, 48Hz, or 40Hz. Alternatively, the refresh rate can be reduced to 360Hz / c, where c can be an integer greater than 3. For example, the refresh rate can be reduced to 90Hz, 72Hz, 60Hz, or 51.4Hz.
[0073] When the display control circuit of this embodiment of the invention is working, after the refresh frame ends, it enters the holding frame stage. During the holding frame stage, data voltage refresh can be performed during any time period when the potential of the light emission control signal is an invalid voltage. The higher the frequency of the light emission control signal, the better the fineness of the frequency reduction. For example, when the base frequency is 120Hz, the frequency of the light emission control signal can be 240Hz, 360Hz or 480Hz.
[0074] The display control circuit described in this embodiment of the invention is applicable to both LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display products and LTPS (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon) display products.
[0075] The embodiments of the present invention can achieve a fine frequency reduction function, which can make the screen refresh of the terminal product more timely, and the GPU (graphics processing unit) of the whole machine can display the image rendering more promptly, resulting in better screen continuity and a better user experience.
[0076] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, the pixel circuit is further connected to a data writing control signal, and the display control circuit is further configured to, after the refresh frame ends, when the potential of the data providing indication signal is an effective voltage, and when the judgment result indicates that the current screen is a static screen, control the potential of the data writing control signal to remain an invalid voltage before the next effective voltage time period of the data providing indication signal. The circuit is also configured to, after the refresh frame ends, when the potential of the data providing indication signal is an effective voltage, and when the judgment result indicates that the current screen is a dynamic screen, control the potential of the data writing control signal to be an effective voltage during at least a portion of the next invalid voltage time period of the light emission control signal, so as to perform data voltage writing.
[0077] In at least one embodiment of the present invention, maintaining the potential of the data writing control signal as an invalid voltage may refer to:
[0078] When the transistor controlled by the data write control signal is an n-type transistor, the potential of the data write control signal is low; when the transistor controlled by the data write control signal is a p-type transistor, the potential of the data write control signal is high; maintaining the potential of the data write control signal at an effective voltage can mean:
[0079] When the transistor controlled by the data write control signal is an n-type transistor, the potential of the data write control signal is high voltage; when the transistor controlled by the data write control signal is a p-type transistor, the potential of the data write control signal is low voltage.

[0102] exist Figure 4 In the diagram, the signal labeled TE is the TE signal. The TE signal provides an indication signal for data. When the TE signal is provided to the motherboard by the driver integrated circuit, an upward pulse in the TE signal indicates that the motherboard can provide data voltage to the driver integrated circuit. The motherboard contains an MCU (microcontroller), and the MCU contains an image generator. The image generator determines whether the image to be displayed is a dynamic or static image. If it is a static image, no data refresh is required; if it is a dynamic image, the data refresh is required.
[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown, the base frequency is 120Hz, the first refresh frame is labeled Ts1, and the frequency of the light emission control signal EM is 240Hz; in the first refresh frame Ts1, the frequency of the TE signal is 120Hz.
[0104] After the first refresh frame Ts1 ends, the frequency of the TE signal changes to 240Hz. During the second upward pulse of the TE signal, the image generator determines that the current image to be displayed is a dynamic image, so the second frame is also a refresh frame.
[0105] In the second refresh frame Ts2, during the first high-level maintenance period of EM, the potentials of GateN(N) and GateN(N+1) are raised successively to first control T1 to open to initialize the potential of the first node N1, and then control T2 to open to control the connection between the first node N1 and the third node N3.

Before T4 is turned on, T7 is turned on to initialize the anode of O1 through Vinit2.
[0106] In the second refresh frame Ts2, the frequency of the TE signal is 120Hz;
[0107] After the second refresh frame Ts2 ends, the frequency of the TE signal becomes 240Hz. During the third upward pulse of the TE signal, the image generator determines that the current image to be displayed is a static image and does not need to be refreshed with data voltage. At this time, it is in the first hold frame Tb1.
[0108] After the second refresh frame Ts2 ends, on the fourth upward pulse of the TE signal, the image generator determines that the current image to be displayed is a dynamic image, and then enters the third refresh frame Ts3.
[0109] In the third refresh frame Ts3, during the first high-level maintenance period of EM, the potentials of GateN(N) and GateN(N+1) are raised successively to first control T1 to open to initialize the potential of the first node N1, and then control T2 to open to control the connection between the first node N1 and the third node N3. During at least part of the time included in the time period when T2 is open, under the control of GateP(N+1), T4 is turned on to write the data voltage Vdata provided by the data line Data to the second node, and write it to the first node N1 through the opened T2 to charge Cst. Before T4 is turned on, T7 is turned on to initialize the anode of O1 through Vinit2.
[0110] After the third refresh frame Ts3 ends, the frequency of the TE signal becomes 240Hz. During the fifth and sixth pulses of the TE signal, the image generator determines that the current image to be displayed is a static image and does not need to be refreshed with data voltage. At this time, it is in the second hold frame Tb2. During the seventh pulse of the TE signal, the image generator determines that the current image to be displayed is a dynamic image and then enters the fourth refresh frame Ts4.
[0111] In the fourth refresh frame Ts4, during the first high-level maintenance period of EM, the potentials of GateN(N) and GateN(N+1) are raised successively to first control T1 to open and initialize the potential of the first node N1, and then control T2 to open to control the connection between the first node N1 and the third node N3. During at least part of the time included in the time period when T2 is open, under the control of GateP(N+1), T4 is turned on to write the data voltage Vdata provided by the data line Data to the second node, and write it to the first node N1 through the opened T2 to charge Cst. Before T4 is turned on, T7 is turned on to initialize the anode of O1 through Vinit2.
[0112] After the fourth refresh frame Ts4 ends, the frequency of the TE signal becomes 240Hz.
