[0102] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0103] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "example", "specific example" or "some examples" are intended to indicate that the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the particular features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0104] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0105] When describing some embodiments, the expressions "coupled" and "connected" and their derivatives may be used. For example, when describing some embodiments, the term "connected" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other. For another example, when describing some embodiments, the term "coupled" may be used to indicate that two or more components are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, the term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that are not in direct contact with each other, but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.
[0106] The use of "adapted to" or "configured to" herein is intended to be open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices adapted or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.
[0107] Additionally, the use of “based on” is meant to be open and inclusive, as a process, step, calculation, or other action “based on” one or more stated conditions or values may, in practice, be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.
[0108] As used herein, "about," "substantially," or "approximately" includes the stated value and an average value that is within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

For example, "equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable range of deviation for approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two is less than or equal to 5% of either.
[0110] like Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 1000. The display device 1000 can be any component with a display function, such as a television, a digital camera, a mobile phone, a watch, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a navigator, or the like.
[0111] The display device 1000 includes a plurality of source driving circuits 100 , at least one timing control circuit 200 and a display panel 300 .
[0112] The timing control circuit 200 is configured to output a source data signal W DT , gate start signal W GSP , the first mode switching signal W OD1 , the second mode switching signal W OD2 , initial latch enable signal W LA and source output enable signal W SOE Each timing control circuit 200 is coupled to at least two source driver circuits 100 .
[0113] In some examples, such as Figure 1A As shown, the display device 1000 may include a timing control circuit 200. In other examples, such as Figure 1B As shown, the display device 1000 may include a plurality of timing control circuits 200. The present disclosure does not limit the number of timing control circuits 200, as long as the normal display of the display device 1000 can be ensured.
[0114] In some examples, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the display device 1000 may include 24 source driving circuits, and each timing control circuit 200 may be coupled to 12 source driving circuits 100 .
[0115] The display panel 300 is coupled to at least one timing control circuit 200 and a plurality of source driving circuits 100 .
[0116] In some examples, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the display device 1000 may further include a plurality of flexible circuit boards 301, a plurality of printed circuit boards 302 and a plurality of chip-on-films ( Figure 1A and Figure 1B The display panel 300 is coupled to at least one timing control circuit 200 and a plurality of source driver circuits 100 using a flexible circuit board 301, a printed circuit board 302, and a chip-on-film.
[0117] For example, the source driver circuit 100 can be located on a flip chip film respectively, multiple flip chips can be bonded to a printed circuit board 302, each timing control circuit 200 can be set on a printed circuit board 302, and the two printed circuit boards 302 can be coupled through a flexible circuit board 301.
[0118] It is understandable that Figure 1A and Figure 1B The number of source driver circuits 100 is only an example, and the number of source driver circuits 100 in the display device 1000 in the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0119] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 300 may include multiple sub-pixels 310, multiple data lines DL, and multiple gate lines GL. Each sub-pixel 310 may include a pixel driving circuit 320. The pixel driving circuit 320 is generally composed of electronic devices such as thin film transistors (TFTs) and capacitors (Cs).
[0120] The plurality of sub-pixels 310 may be arranged in a plurality of rows along the column direction, for example Figure 2 The dashed box Q in the middle shows a row of sub-pixels. For example, the rows of sub-pixels are numbered (1) to (6) in order from top to bottom. The sub-pixels in rows (1), (3), and (5) are odd-numbered rows, and the sub-pixels in rows (2), (4), and (6) are even-numbered rows.
[0121] The source driving circuit 100 may provide data to the plurality of sub-pixels 310 in each row of sub-pixels 310 through the plurality of data lines DL.
[0122] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display device 1000 may further include a grayscale control circuit 400 and a gate driving circuit 500 .
[0123] For example, the grayscale control circuit 400 is coupled to the timing control circuit 200 and the source driving circuit 100 . The grayscale control circuit 400 may be configured to provide a gamma signal to the source driving circuit 100 according to image data from the timing control circuit 200 .
[0124] For example, the gate driving circuit 500 may be coupled to the timing control circuit 200. The timing control circuit 200 may control the gate driving circuit 500 to provide gate scanning signals to each row of sub-pixels 310 through a plurality of gate lines GL, thereby controlling the charging time of each row of sub-pixels.
[0125] In some embodiments, as Figure 1B As shown, the display device 1000 includes two timing control circuits 200. A plurality of source driving circuits 100 are divided into two groups, and each group of source driving circuits 100 is coupled to one timing control circuit 200.
[0126] The refresh frequency of the timing control circuit 200 is X, and the amount of image data that can be transmitted per frame is Y; the target refresh frequency of the display panel 300 is X0, and the target amount of image data required per frame is Y0;
[0127] In this way, when the display device 1000 includes two timing control circuits 200, the refresh frequency X of the timing control circuit 200 can be half of the target refresh frequency X0, and the amount of image data Y that can be transmitted per frame is the same as the target image data amount Y0 required per frame. Alternatively, the refresh frequency X of the timing control circuit 200 can be the same as the target refresh frequency X0, and the amount of image data Y that can be transmitted per frame is half of the target image data amount Y0 required per frame. As a result, the display device has lower performance requirements for the timing control circuit 200, and the timing control circuit 200 is easier to implement, which is conducive to reducing the production cost of the timing control circuit 200, and further reducing the production cost of the display device 1000.
[0128] For example, when the target refresh frequency of the display panel 300 is 120 Hz, the refresh frequency of the timing control circuit 200 may be 60 Hz.
[0129] like Figure 3 As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a source driver circuit 100 , including a logic control sub-circuit 10 , a latch sub-circuit 20 , and an output sub-circuit 30 .
[0130] The logic control sub-circuit 10 is coupled to the source data signal terminal Vin, the gate start signal terminal GSP, the mode switch signal terminal ODEN, the initial latch enable signal terminal LAT and the source output enable signal terminal SOE. The logic control sub-circuit 10 is configured to receive the source data signal W from the source data signal terminal Vin. DT , the source data signal W DT Converted into data signal W D And, according to the gate start signal W from the gate start signal terminal GSP GSP , the first mode switching signal W from the mode switching signal terminal ODEN OD1 , the initial latch enable signal W from the initial latch enable signal terminal LAT LA and the source output enable signal W from the source output enable signal terminal SOE SOE , outputs a first latch signal W1, a second latch signal W2, a first enable signal W3 and a second enable signal W4.
[0131] For example, “the source data signal W DT Converted into data signal W D ", the source data signal W can be processed by means of data inversion, serial-to-parallel conversion, data sampling, etc. DT Processing is performed so that the source data signal W DT Converted into data signal W D The present disclosure does not provide any information on the source data signal W DT Converted into data signal W D way to restrict.
[0132] The latch sub-circuit 20 is coupled to the logic control sub-circuit 10. The latch sub-circuit 20 is configured to receive the data signal W from the logic control sub-circuit 10. D And, under the control of the first latch signal W1, the data signal W is latched in the odd frame. D Odd-numbered row data W D1 , under the control of the second latch signal W2, the data signal W is latched in the even frame D Even-numbered rows of data W D2 .
[0133] The output sub-circuit 30 is coupled to the logic circuit sub-circuit 10 and the latch sub-circuit 20. Figure 4A The output sub-circuit 30 is configured to receive odd-numbered row data W in odd-numbered frames. D1 , and under the control of the first enable signal W3, outputs odd row data W according to the first set time length T1 D1 The first set time length T1 is greater than the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels 310 and is less than or equal to twice the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels 310. Figure 4B , receive even-numbered line data W in even-numbered frames D2 , and under the control of the second enable signal W4, outputs the even row data W according to the second set time length T2 D2 The second set time length T2 is greater than the charging time of the odd-numbered row sub-pixels 310 and is less than or equal to twice the charging time of the odd-numbered row sub-pixels 310.
[0134] For example, the source data signal W DT , gate start signal W GSP , the first mode switching signal W OD1 , initial latch enable signal W LA and source output enable signal W SOE It can be provided by the timing control circuit 200.
[0135] Exemplarily, the gate start signal W GSP It can be used to represent each frame, where the gate driving circuit 500 starts to provide gate scanning signals to the multiple rows of gate lines GL and to each row of sub-pixels 310 .
[0136] For example, the change of the output voltage of the source driver circuit 100 in the odd frame can be as follows: Figure 4A Middle W OUT The output voltage variation of the source driving circuit 100 in the even frame can be as follows: Figure 4B W in OUT As shown in the waveform diagram.
[0137] Among them, in odd frames, the data voltage WD The odd-numbered rows of data W D1 (For example, Figure 4A 1, 3, 5, 7) are output, in the even frame, the data voltage W D Even-numbered rows of data W D2 (For example, Figure 4B 2, 4, 6) in are output.
[0138] For example, in Figure 4A , source output enable signal W SOE The time between two adjacent falling edges is the charging time of the sub-pixels in the even-numbered rows.
[0139] For example, in Figure 4B , source output enable signal W SOE The time between two adjacent falling edges is the charging time of the sub-pixels in the odd-numbered rows.
[0140] It should be noted that in Figure 4A and Figure 4B In FIG, G1 to G4 represent gate line signals. When the signals G1 to G4 are at a high level, the gate lines GL corresponding to G1 to G4 are turned on, and the sub-pixels 310 connected to the gate lines GL are charged.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the source driver circuit 100 outputs odd-numbered row data W according to the first set duration T1 in odd-numbered frames. D1 , the first set time length T1 is greater than the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels and less than or equal to twice the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels; and, in the even-numbered frame, the even-numbered row data W is output according to the second set time length T2 D2 The second set time duration T2 is greater than the charging time of the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels and less than or equal to twice the charging time of the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels. Thus, in odd frames, the charging time of the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 is longer, which helps ensure that the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 can display the target grayscale in odd frames. In even frames, the charging time of the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 is also longer, which helps ensure that the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 can display the target grayscale in even frames.
[0142] In some embodiments, see Figure 4A In odd frames, the first set time duration T1 is twice the charging time of the sub-pixels in the even rows. In this case, the sub-pixels 310 in the odd rows in the odd frames take longer to charge. When charging is complete, the output voltage of the source driver circuit 100 in the odd rows in the odd frames reaches a maximum value and does not change, thereby further ensuring that the sub-pixels 310 in the odd rows in the odd frames can display the target grayscale.
[0143] In other embodiments, participation Figure 4BIn even frames, the second set time duration T2 is twice the charging time of the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels. In this case, the charging time of the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 in even frames is longer. When charging is complete, the output voltage of the even-numbered rows of the source driver circuit 100 in even frames can reach a maximum value and no longer change, thereby further ensuring that the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels 310 in even frames can display the target grayscale.
[0144] In some other embodiments, in odd frames, the first set duration T1 is twice the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels, and in even frames, the second set duration T2 is twice the charging time of the odd-numbered row sub-pixels. In this way, the charging time of the odd-numbered row sub-pixels 310 in odd frames is longer, and at the same time, the charging time of the even-numbered row sub-pixels 310 in even frames is also longer. When charging is completed, the output voltage of the source driver circuit 100 in the odd rows of odd frames can reach a maximum value, and the output voltage of the source driver circuit 100 in the even rows of even frames can also reach a maximum value, and both no longer change. This further ensures that the odd-numbered row sub-pixels 310 in odd frames can display the target grayscale, and the even-numbered row sub-pixels 310 in even frames can display the target grayscale.
[0145] In some embodiments, the first set time duration T1 is equal to the second set time duration T2. In this way, the charging time of the sub-pixels 310 in the odd rows of odd frames and the sub-pixels 310 in the even rows of even frames are the same, and the charging time of the sub-pixels 310 in the even rows of odd frames and the sub-pixels 310 in the odd rows of even frames are the same, which helps to simplify the circuit structure of the source driver circuit 100, reduce the design difficulty of the source driver circuit 100, and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of the source driver circuit 100.
[0146] For example, the first set time length T1 and the second set time length T2 may both be 3.7 microseconds. In odd frames, the charging time of sub-pixels in even rows may be 1.85 microseconds, and in even frames, the charging time of sub-pixels in odd rows may be 1.85 microseconds.
[0147] Of course, the first set time length T1, the second set time length T2, the charging time of the sub-pixels in the even-numbered rows, and the charging time of the sub-pixels in the odd-numbered rows in the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

Line characterization signal pair (W L1 ,
[0153] W L1B ) represents odd and even rows, and the frame represents the signal pair (W F1 , W F1B ) represents odd frames and even frames.
[0154] For example, the pulse signal W of the pulse signal terminal CHOP CH The rising edge of the source output enable signal W SOE The rising edges of are at the same moment.
[0155] For example, the first row represents the signal W L1 It is low level during odd-numbered lines and high level during even-numbered lines. The first frame characterizes the signal W F1 It is a low level during odd-numbered frame times and a high level during even-numbered frame times.

[0157] The generating unit 112 is coupled to the distinguishing unit 111. The generating unit 112 is configured to generate the signal pair (W L1 , W L1B ), frame representation signal pair (W F1 , W F1B ) and the source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD , generating a first shielding signal W5 and a second shielding signal W6.
[0158] For example, the source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The inverted delayed signal terminal SOEBD can be generated by the timing control circuit 200 and provided to the source driver circuit 100. Figure 6 , the generating unit 112 can be coupled to the inverted delay signal terminal SOEBD to receive the source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD .
[0159] For example, the source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Alternatively, the source driver circuit 100 may output an enable signal W to the source. SOE Obtained by inverting and delaying. Figure 7 The source driver circuit 100 may further include an inverting delay module 14. The inverting delay module 14 is coupled to the source output enable signal terminal SOE and the generating unit 112. The inverting delay module 14 is configured to receive the source output enable signal W from the source output enable signal terminal SOE. SOE , and output enable signal W to the source SOE Perform data inversion delay processing to obtain the source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD , the inverted delayed signal W SBD Output to the generation unit 112.
[0160] For example, the inverting delay module 14 may include an RC delay circuit. Of course, the inverting delay module 14 in the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0161] For example, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the distinguishing unit 111 includes a NAND gate 1111 , a first NOT gate 1112 , a first trigger 1113 , a first AND gate 1114 , and a second trigger 1115 .
[0162] The NAND gate 1111 has a first input terminal coupled to the pulse signal terminal CHOP, and a second input terminal coupled to the gate start signal terminal GSP.
[0163] The first NOT gate 1112 has an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the NAND gate 1111 .
[0164] A first flip-flop 1113 is provided. An enable terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is coupled to an output terminal of the first NOT gate 1112. A reset terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is coupled to the mode switching signal terminal ODEN. A first output terminal and a second output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 are coupled to the generating unit 112. An input terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is coupled to a first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113. The first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is configured to output a first frame characterization signal W. F1 The second output terminal of the first trigger 1113 is configured to output the second frame characterization signal W F1B , the first frame represents the signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B Inverted, forming a frame representation signal pair (W F1 , W F1B ).
[0165] A first AND gate 1114 has a first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the NAND gate 1111 , and a second input terminal coupled to the mode switching signal terminal ODEN.
[0166] A second flip-flop 1115 is provided. An enable terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is coupled to the pulse signal terminal CHOP. A reset terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is coupled to the output terminal of the first AND gate 1114. A first output terminal and a second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 are coupled to the generating unit 112. An input terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is coupled to a first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115. The first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is configured to output the first row characterization signal W. L1 The second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is configured to output the second row characterization signal W L1B , the first row represents the signal W L1 and the second line represents the signal W L1B Inverted, forming a row characterization signal pair (W L1 , W L1B ).
[0167] For example, the first flip-flop 1113 and the second flip-flop 1115 may be edge-triggered D flip-flops. The enable terminals of the first flip-flop 1113 and the second flip-flop 1115 are valid when the signal rises.
[0168] For example, Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the generating unit 112 includes a multiplier 1121 and a third flip-flop 1122 .
[0169] The first input terminal and the second input terminal of the multiplier 1121 are coupled to the distinguishing unit 111 and configured to receive the row characterization signal pair (W L1 , W L1B The third input terminal and the fourth input terminal of the multiplier 1121 are coupled to the distinguishing unit 111 and configured to receive the frame characterizing signal pair (W F1 , W F1B ).
[0170] The third flip-flop 1122 has an input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the multiplier 1121, and an enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is configured to receive a source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD , the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is configured to output the first shielding signal W5 and the second shielding signal W6.
[0171] For example, the third flip-flop 1122 may be an edge-triggered D flip-flop, wherein the enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid when the signal rises.
[0172] For example, Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the latch signal generating module 12 includes a second NOT gate 121 and a second AND gate 122 .
[0173] The second NOT gate 121 has an input terminal coupled to the shielding signal generating module 11 .
[0174] A second AND gate 122 has a first input coupled to the output of the second NOT gate 121, a second input coupled to the initial latch enable signal LAT, and an output of the second AND gate 122 configured to output the first latch signal W1 or the second latch signal W2.
[0175] For example, Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the enable signal generating module 13 includes a signal generator 131 .
[0176] An input terminal of the signal generator 131 is coupled to the source output enable signal terminal SOE, and an enable terminal of the signal generator 131 is coupled to the shielding signal generating module 11. An output terminal of the signal generator 131 is configured to output a first enable signal W3 and a second enable signal W4.
[0177] For example, in odd frames, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE , gate start signal W GSP , pulse signal W CH , initial latch enable signal W LA , source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The first row represents the signal W L1 , the first frame characterization signal W F1 , the signal W output by the multiplier 1121 F1L1 , the first shielding signal W5, the first latch signal W1, the first enable signal W3 and the odd row data W D1 The timing diagram is as follows Figure 13A shown.
[0178] by Figure 13A For example, Figure 8 The working process of the logic control sub-circuit 10 in the odd frame is briefly described. For example, the first mode switching signal W OD1 The rising edge of the first latch signal W1 is used to control the latch sub-circuit 20 to latch data, and the rising edge of the first enable signal W3 is used to control the output sub-circuit 30 to output data.
[0179] At time t0:
[0180] Pulse signal W CH From low level to high level, the pulse signal W CH The high level and gate start signal W GSP The high level of is converted to a low level by the NAND gate 1111, and then converted to a high level by the first NOT gate 1112, so that the enable terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is valid (ie, rising edge triggered).
[0181] At this time, the input terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is connected to the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113, so that the level output by the second output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is the same as the level of the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 before time t0, that is, a high level. The level output by the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 changes from the original high level to a low level at time t0.
[0182] The first output terminal of the first trigger 1113 outputs the first frame characterization signal W F1, the first frame represents the signal W F1 The low level of the first frame (ie, odd frame) represents the first frame. The second output terminal of the first trigger 1113 outputs the second frame characterization signal W F1B , the second frame represents the signal W F1B The high level also represents the first frame (i.e., odd-numbered frame).
[0183] Pulse signal W CH The level changes from low to high, making the enable terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 valid (ie, rising edge triggered).
[0184] At this time, the input terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is connected to the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115, so that the level output by the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is the same as the level of the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 before time t0, that is, a high level. The level output by the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 changes from the original high level to a low level at time t0.
[0185] The first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the first row characterization signal W L1 , the first row represents the signal W L1 The low level of represents the first row (ie, odd row), and the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the second row characterization signal W L1B , the second row represents the signal W L1B The high level of represents the first row (i.e., the odd row).
[0186] The multiplier 1121 receives the first row characterization signal W L1 The second row represents the signal W L1B , the first frame characterization signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B , output high level. That is, W F1L1 The level at time t0 becomes high.
[0187] Since the enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid at the rising edge, at time t0, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is invalid, and the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 still outputs a low level. That is, the first shielding signal W5 outputted at the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is a low level.
[0188] In this way, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the rising edge of the first shielding signal W5 arrives, the first shielding signal W5 passes through the second NOT gate 121 and is latched with the initial latch enable signal W LAThe waveform of the first latch signal W1 obtained after passing through the second AND gate 122 is the same as the initial latch enable signal W LA Thus, when the first row of data arrives, the rising edge of the first latch signal W1 can control the latch sub-circuit 20 to latch the first row of data.
[0189] Similarly, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the rising edge of , the first shielding signal W5 is low level, the enable terminal of the signal generator 131 is invalid, and the first enable signal W3 remains the same as the source output enable signal W SOE Thus, the first enable signal W3 is able to control the output sub-circuit 30 to output the third row data.
[0190] At time t1:
[0191] Source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid, and the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 outputs a high level, that is, the first shielding signal W5 is converted from a low level to a high level.
[0192] In this way, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the next rising edge of , the first shielding signal W5 keeps high level. The first shielding signal W5 is connected to the initial latch enable signal W via the second NOT gate 121. LA The first latch signal W1 obtained after passing through the second AND gate 122 is always kept at a low level, so that after the second row of data arrives, the latch sub-circuit 20 no longer latches the second row of data.
[0193] Similarly, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the next rising edge of , the first shielding signal W5 keeps high level and is effective at the enable terminal of the signal generator 131. The first enable signal W3 no longer outputs the enable signal W along with the source. SOE Thus, the source driver circuit 100 always outputs odd-numbered row data.
[0194] At time t2:
[0195] Pulse signal W CH Once again from low level to high level, the gate start signal W GSP It is always low level, so the pulse signal W CH and gate start signal W GSPAfter passing through the NAND gate 1111 and the first NOT gate 1112 , the first NOT gate 1112 outputs a low level, without rising edge triggering, and the enable terminal of the first trigger 1113 is invalid.
[0196] The first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 keeps outputting a low level, and the second output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 keeps outputting a high level, thereby still representing the first frame (ie, the odd frame).
[0197] Pulse signal W CH The level changes from low to high again, thereby making the enable terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 valid again (ie, rising edge triggered).
[0198] At this time, the input terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is connected to the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115, so that the level output by the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is the same as the level of the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 before time t2, that is, a low level. The level output by the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 changes from the original low level to a high level at time t2.
[0199] The first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the first row characterization signal W L1 , the first row represents the signal W L1 The high level of represents the second row (ie, the even row), and the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the second row characterization signal W L1B , the second row represents the signal W L1B A low level indicates the second row (ie, the even row).
[0200] The multiplier 1121 receives the first row characterization signal W L1 The second row represents the signal W L1B , the first frame characterization signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B , output low level. That is, W F1L1 The level at time t2 becomes a low level.
[0201] Since the enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid at the rising edge, at time t2, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD = is high level, therefore, the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 still outputs a high level. That is, the first shielding signal W5 outputted at the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is high level.
[0202] In this way, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the rising edge of the first shielding signal W5 arrives, the first shielding signal W5 passes through the second NOT gate 121 and is latched with the initial latch enable signal WLA The first latch signal W1 obtained after passing through the second AND gate 122 always maintains a low level. Therefore, after the second row of data arrives, no rising edge appears in the first latch signal W1, and the latch sub-circuit 20 no longer latches the second row of data.
[0203] Similarly, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Before the rising edge of , the first shielding signal is high level and is valid at the enable terminal of the signal generator 131. The first enable signal W3 no longer outputs the enable signal W along with the source. SOE Thus, the source driver circuit 100 always outputs odd-numbered row data.
[0204] At time t3:
[0205] Source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid, and the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 outputs a low level, that is, the first shielding signal W5 is converted from a high level to a low level.
[0206] In this way, the first shielding signal W5 is coupled to the initial latch enable signal W via the second NOT gate 121. LA The waveform of the first latch signal W1 obtained after passing through the second AND gate 122 is again combined with the initial latch enable signal W LA Thus, when the third row of data arrives, the rising edge of the first latch signal W1 can control the latch sub-circuit 20 to latch the third row of data.
[0207] Similarly, the first shielding signal W5 is at a low level, and the enable terminal of the signal generator 131 is invalid, and the first enable signal W3 remains at the same level as the source output enable signal W. SOE Thus, the first enable signal W3 is able to control the output sub-circuit 30 to output the third row data.
[0208] At time t4:
[0209] Pulse signal W CH From low level to high level, the same as time t2, the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 keeps outputting low level, thereby still representing the first frame (ie, odd frame).
[0210] The enable terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is again valid (i.e., rising edge triggered). At this point, the input terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is connected to the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115, so that the level output by the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 is the same as the level of the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 before time t4, that is, a high level. The level output by the first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 changes from the original high level to a low level at time t4.
[0211] The first output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the first row characterization signal W L1 , the first row represents the signal W L1 The low level of represents the third row (ie, the odd row), and the second output terminal of the second flip-flop 1115 outputs the second row characterization signal W L1B , the second row represents the signal W L1B The high level of represents the third row (ie, the odd row).
[0212] The multiplier 1121 receives the first row characterization signal W L1 The second row represents the signal W L1B , the first frame characterization signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B , output high level. That is, W F1L1 The level at time t4 becomes a high level.
[0213] Since the enable terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is valid at the rising edge, at time t4, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD = is high level, therefore, the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 still outputs a low level. That is, the first shielding signal W5 outputted at the output terminal of the third flip-flop 1122 is low level.
[0214] In this way, the first shielding signal W5 is coupled to the initial latch enable signal W via the second NOT gate 121. LA The waveform of the first latch signal W1 obtained after passing through the second AND gate 122 is still the same as the initial latch enable signal W LA Thus, when the third row of data arrives, the rising edge of the first latch signal W1 can control the latch sub-circuit 20 to latch the third row of data.
[0215] Similarly, the first shielding signal W5 is at a low level, and the enable terminal of the signal generator 131 is invalid, and the first enable signal W3 remains at the same level as the source output enable signal W. SOE Thus, the first enable signal W3 is able to control the output sub-circuit 30 to output the third row data.
[0216] Referring to the working process of the source driver circuit 100 from time t0 to time t4, in the odd frame, and after time t4, the first frame characterization signal W F1 Still outputting low level, the second frame represents signal W F1B Still outputs a high level, thus representing the first frame (i.e., odd-numbered frame).
[0217] The first row represents the signal W L1 Then the pulse signal W CH Under the control of the odd-numbered rising edge, the output is low level. The second line represents the signal W L1B Also in the pulse signal W CH Under the control of the odd-numbered rising edge of the pulse signal, the output is high level. CH The odd-numbered rising edge represents the odd rows.
[0218] The first row represents the signal W L1 Still in pulse signal W CH Under the control of the even-numbered rising edge, the output is high level. The second line represents the signal W L1B Also in the pulse signal W CH Under the control of the even-numbered rising edge of the pulse signal, the output is low level. CH The even-numbered rising edge of represents the even-numbered rows.
[0219] The multiplier 1121 also receives the first row characterization signal W L1 The second row represents the signal W L1B , the first frame characterization signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B , then output signal W F1L1 . In the pulse signal W CH When the odd-numbered rising edge of F1L1 From low level to high level, the pulse signal W CH When the even-numbered rising edge of F1L1 From high level to low level.
[0220] The first shielding signal W5 is then used to enable the output signal W at the source. SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD Under the control of the signal W F1L1 The same level is achieved, so that the first latch signal W1 controls the latch sub-circuit 20 to latch only the odd-numbered row data in the odd-numbered frame, and the first enable signal W3 controls the output sub-circuit 30 to output only the odd-numbered row data in the odd-numbered frame.
[0221] For example, in even frames, the source outputs the enable signal W SOE , gate start signal W GSP , pulse signal WCH , initial latch enable signal W LA , source output enable signal W SOE The inverted delayed signal W SBD The first row represents the signal W L1 , the first frame characterization signal W F1 , the signal W output by the multiplier 1121 F1L1 , the second shielding signal W6, the second latch signal W2, the second enable signal W4 timing diagram and the even row data W D2 The timing diagram is as follows Figure 13B shown.
[0222] in, Figure 8 The working process of the logic control subcircuit 10 in the even frame will not be described here. The working process of the logic control subcircuit 10 in the even frame can be combined with the working process of the logic control subcircuit 10 in the odd frame and the working process of the logic control subcircuit 10 in the odd frame. Figure 13B Understand.
[0223] It is worth noting that in the even frames, the pulse signal W CH When the gate start signal W changes from low level to high level for the first time (i.e., the first rising edge), GSP At high level again, the pulse signal W CH The high level and gate start signal W GSP The high level of is converted to a low level by the NAND gate 1111, and then converted to a high level by the first NOT gate 1112, so that the enable terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is valid (ie, rising edge triggered).
[0224] At this time, the input terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is connected to the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113, so that the level output by the second output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is the same as the level of the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 in odd frames, that is, a low level. The level output by the first output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 is converted from the previous low level to a high level.
[0225] That is, the first frame characterizing signal W outputted from the first output terminal of the first trigger 1113 is F1 = is high, indicating the second frame (ie, even frame). The second output terminal of the first flip-flop 1113 outputs the second frame indicating signal W. F1B is low level, also representing the second frame (ie, even frame). And in the second frame (ie, even frame), the first frame represents the signal W F1 and the second frame representation signal W F1B The level no longer changes.
[0226] In some embodiments, the first mode switching signal W OD1The first mode switching signal W may be kept at a high level in both odd and even frames. OD1 It can be kept low in both odd and even frames.
[0227] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The logic control sub-circuit 10 is further configured to, according to the gate start signal W GSP and the second mode switching signal W from the mode switching signal terminal ODEN OD2 , receives and outputs the initial latch enable signal W LA and source output enable signal W SOE .
[0228] The latch module 20 is further configured to latch the enable signal W LA Under the control of the data signal W, the data signal W is latched in each frame. D Odd-numbered row data W D1 and even-numbered row data W D2 .
[0229] The output module 30 is further configured to output an enable signal W at the source. SOE Under the control of , odd-numbered row data W is output in each frame D1 and even-numbered row data W D2 The charging time of the odd-numbered row sub-pixels is equal to that of the even-numbered row sub-pixels. D1 and even-numbered row data W D2 The data output time is equal.
[0230] In this way, the source driver circuit 100 can simultaneously have two driving modes. The first mode outputs odd-numbered row data for a first set duration in odd frames, and outputs even-numbered row data for a second set duration in even frames. The second mode outputs both odd-numbered row data and even-numbered row data in every frame, with the output durations of the odd and even rows being equal. This improves the diversity of the driving modes of the source driver circuit 100.

D1 , and for odd-numbered rows of data W D1 Perform level conversion and digital-to-analog conversion; and, receive even-numbered line data W in even-numbered frames D2 , and for even-numbered rows of data W D2The present disclosure does not impose any specific limitation on the circuit structure of the level conversion and digital-to-analog conversion sub-circuit 40 .
[0233] For example, level conversion can amplify odd-numbered line data or even-numbered line data.
[0234] In some embodiments, as Figure 17 As shown, the source driver circuit 100 further includes an output buffer 50 coupled to the latch sub-circuit 20 and the output sub-circuit 30. The output buffer 50 is configured to receive odd-numbered row data W in odd-numbered frames.
