[0002] Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels are a widely used type of display product, and energy efficiency is a major concern. Current LCD panels have undergone some optimization in terms of materials and driving algorithms, achieving the ES8.0 energy efficiency requirements. Energy Star (ES) is a standard introduced by the United States to measure the energy efficiency of electronic products. Compared to ES8.0, the ES9.0 energy efficiency standard has much stricter requirements, and current LCD panels will struggle to meet this standard without further optimization. Therefore, how to further reduce the power consumption of display panels is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

Figure 1 As shown, the display device includes a display panel 1 and a source driver 2 connected to the display panel. The display panel includes a display area 11 and a non-display area 12 surrounding the display area. The display panel 1 can be a liquid crystal display panel.

[0017] The display area includes multiple scan lines and multiple data lines, for example... Figure 1 The array comprises a first scan line G1, a second scan line G2, a third scan line G3, a first data line S1, a second data line S2, and a third data line S3.

[0021] In one embodiment, the driving unit includes a first switching unit 104 electrically connected to at least two adjacent scan lines.

The second transistor T2 has a first terminal electrically connected to a second scan line for transmitting a second scan signal, a second terminal of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to a data line, and a third terminal of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to a first terminal of a second storage capacitor C2.

[0022] Figure 2 This diagram shows a block diagram of the first switching unit 104 and the second switching unit 105 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 A circuit diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The following will be combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The specific structure of the panel driving circuit is described in detail.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the first switching unit 104 is electrically connected to at least two adjacent scan lines, which may be a first scan line G1 and a second scan line G2.

[0024] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first switching unit 104 includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The first terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to a first scan line to receive a first scan signal, the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to a data line, and the third terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of a first storage capacitor C1.

[0025] In one embodiment, the switch control unit includes: a first multiplexer, which is electrically connected to a first terminal of the first storage capacitor C1 and a first terminal of the second storage capacitor C2.

[0026] In one embodiment, the pre-storage unit further includes a third storage capacitor C3. The first switching unit 104 is electrically connected to at least three adjacent scan lines and at least one data line, and is also electrically connected to one end of the first storage capacitor C1, one end of the second storage capacitor C2, and one end of the third storage capacitor C3, respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the first switching unit 104 can be electrically connected to three adjacent scan lines G1, G2, and G3 and a data line S1. The data line S1 can be used to write display data to the pixels electrically connected to it. It is worth noting that the pixels are arranged in rows and columns, with each row of pixels connected to at least three scan lines and each pixel connected to one data line. Optionally, each column of pixels can be connected to one data line.

[0027] See Figure 2 The driving unit further includes a second switching unit 105, which is electrically connected to at least one scan line.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second switching unit 105 includes: a third transistor T3, the first terminal of which is electrically connected to a third scan line for transmitting a third scan signal; the second terminal of which is electrically connected to a data line; and the third terminal of which is electrically connected to the first terminal of a third storage capacitor C3. The second terminals of the first storage capacitor C1, the second storage capacitor C2, and the third storage capacitor C3 are all electrically connected to a common electrode Vcom, and the voltage of the common electrode is a common voltage.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 can all be thin-film transistors. Since the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are sufficient to control the electrical connection between the scan line and the storage capacitor, this application does not need to add thin-film transistors in the pixel as in traditional pixel architectures.

[0030] In one embodiment, the switch control unit further includes a second multiplexer, which is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first storage capacitor C1 and the first terminal of the third storage capacitor C3, respectively.

[0031] In one embodiment, either the first multiplexer or the second multiplexer includes at least one transistor. Multiple transistors in the first multiplexer can be connected in series, meaning the source of one transistor is electrically connected to the drain of an adjacent transistor, and the series-connected transistors are then controlled by a first control signal. Similarly, multiple transistors in the second multiplexer can be connected in series, meaning the source of one transistor is electrically connected to the drain of an adjacent transistor, and the series-connected transistors are then controlled by a second control signal.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, taking the first multiplexer including a fourth transistor T4 and the second multiplexer including a fifth transistor T5 as an example, the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first control line M1, the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second storage capacitor C2, and the third terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first storage capacitor C1; the first terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second control line M2, the second terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the third storage capacitor C3, and the third terminal of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0033] The second switching unit 105 is electrically connected to the first storage capacitor C1, the second storage capacitor C2, the third storage capacitor C3, the first control line M1, and the second control line M2. It is used to transmit the positive voltage of the second storage capacitor C2 to the first storage capacitor C1 based on the first control signal of the first control line M1 in a static image, and to transmit the negative voltage of the third storage capacitor C3 to the first storage capacitor C1 based on the second control signal of the second control line M2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the display panel may further include a gate driver electrically connected to the display panel, used to output corresponding scan signals to multiple scan lines, and to output a first control signal to a first control line M1 and a second control signal to a second control line M2. The scan signals in this application can be output by the gate driver, while the data voltage on the data line, i.e., the positive or negative polarity voltage, can be output by the source driver. In practical applications, multiple gate drivers and source drivers can be provided. The first scan signal, the second scan signal, and the third scan signal can be output by the same gate driver or by different gate drivers. The first control signal and the second control signal can also be output by at least one of the gate drivers. The first control signal and the second control signal can utilize an unused output interface of the gate driver. Different data voltages can be output by the same source driver or by different source drivers.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first scan signal, the second scan signal, the third scan signal, the first control signal, and the second control signal are all pulse signals. The pulse width of the pulse signal can be set as needed, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0036] In one embodiment, the capacitance of the second storage capacitor C2 is at least twice the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1, and the capacitance of the third storage capacitor C3 is at least twice the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1. The capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1 can be the capacitance of a storage capacitor in a conventional liquid crystal display panel architecture, for example, 0.5 pF. Preferably, the capacitance of both the second storage capacitor C2 and the third storage capacitor C3 is twice the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1, for example, 1 pF, thus ensuring the storage capacity of the second storage capacitor C2 and the third storage capacitor C3. In some embodiments, the capacitance values ​​of the second storage capacitor C2 and the third storage capacitor C3 may also be unequal. It is understood that, due to the specific type, architecture, and manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel, the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this application does not limit this.

[0037] It should be noted that the transistors in this application include both N-type and P-type transistors. When the transistor is N-type, its first terminal can be the gate, its second terminal can be the source, and its third terminal can be the drain. When the transistor is P-type, its first terminal can be the gate, its second terminal can be the drain, and its third terminal can be the source. It is understood that this application does not limit the type of transistor.

[0038] Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a display driving method according to an embodiment of this application is provided. Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a display driving method, which is applied to the panel driving circuit, and the display driving method includes:

[0039] Step S1: Obtain the display screen of the display panel, the display screen including dynamic screen and static screen;

[0040] In one embodiment, the target display screen can be a dynamic screen or a static screen. When the target display screen is a dynamic screen, the specific display content of different frames is different; when the target display screen is a static screen, the specific display content of different frames is the same. The type of the target display screen can be determined by whether the display content changes between different frames, or by using a pre-marked flag. For example, when the corresponding flag of the target display screen is 1, the target display screen is a dynamic screen; when the corresponding flag of the target display screen is 0, the target display screen is a static screen. It is understood that there can be multiple ways to determine the type of the target display screen, and this application is not limited to any particular method.

[0041] Step S2: When it is determined that the image is a dynamic image, the positive or negative voltage of the data line is transmitted to the first storage capacitor based on the scanning signal;

[0042] Further, when it is determined that the image is a dynamic image, transmitting the positive or negative voltage of the data line to the first storage capacitor C1 based on the scanning signal includes:

[0043] Step S21: When it is determined that the screen is a dynamic screen, the gate driver is controlled to output a first scan signal, and the gate driver does not output other signals, so as to turn on the first transistor.

[0044] In one embodiment, when the target display screen is a dynamic image, the gate driver can be controlled to output a first scan signal while the gate driver does not output other signals. At this time, the high level of the first scan signal causes the first transistor T1 to be in the on state. The data voltage on the data line S1, whether positive or negative, can be normally transmitted to the first terminal of the first storage capacitor C1, controlling the liquid crystal molecules to flip. It is worth noting that since the first storage capacitor C1, the second storage capacitor C2, and the third storage capacitor C3 are all large capacitors, and the capacitance of the first storage capacitor C1 is already sufficient, only the first transistor T1 needs to be turned on during dynamic images, while the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 remain off, thus saving power.

[0045] Step S3: When it is determined that the image is a static image, the positive voltage of the second storage capacitor is transmitted to the first storage capacitor based on the control signal.

[0046] Further, when it is determined that the image is a static image, transmitting the positive voltage of the second storage capacitor C2 to the first storage capacitor based on the control signal includes:

[0047] Step S31: Control the second scan signal and the third scan signal so that the positive polarity voltage of the first frame and the negative polarity voltage of the second frame are pre-charged to the first storage capacitor respectively.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the target display screen is a static screen, the second transistor T2 can be controlled by the second scan signal, and the third transistor T3 can be controlled by the third scan signal to turn on at an appropriate time.

[0049] For example, in the first frame, the data voltage is a positive voltage. At this time, the high level of the second scan signal turns on the second transistor T2, and the positive voltage of data line S1 is transmitted to the second storage capacitor C2. Next, the high level of the first control signal turns on the first multiplexer, and the first terminals of the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 are connected. Therefore, the charge in the second storage capacitor C2 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges in the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In this equilibrium state, the charge in the second storage capacitor C2 is equal to the charge in the first storage capacitor C1.

[0050] The data voltage in the second frame is negative. At this time, the high level of the third scan signal turns on the third transistor T3, and the negative voltage of data line S1 is transmitted to the third storage capacitor C3. Next, the high level of the second control signal turns on the second multiplexer, and the first terminals of the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 are connected. Therefore, the charge in the third storage capacitor C3 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges in the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In the equilibrium state, the charge in the third storage capacitor C3 is equal to the charge in the first storage capacitor C1.

[0051] Step S32: Control the first control signal and the second control signal alternately so that the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer take turns opening and displaying other frames after the second frame.

[0052] The data voltage in the third frame is a positive voltage. At this time, the positive voltage of the second scan signal and data line S1 does not need to be transmitted. Only a high level of the first control signal is needed to activate the first multiplexer. The first terminals of the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 are in a conducting state. Thus, the charge of the second storage capacitor C2 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges of the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In the equilibrium state, the charge of the second storage capacitor C2 is equal to the charge of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0053] The data voltage in the fourth frame is a negative voltage. At this time, the negative voltage of the third scan signal and data line S1 does not need to be transmitted. Only a high level of the second control signal is needed to activate the second multiplexer. The first terminals of the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 are in a conducting state. Thus, the charge of the third storage capacitor C3 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges of the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In the equilibrium state, the charge of the third storage capacitor C3 is equal to the charge of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0054] The data voltage in the fifth frame is a positive voltage. At this time, the positive voltage of the second scan signal and data line S1 does not need to be transmitted. Only a high level of the first control signal is needed to activate the first multiplexer. The first terminals of the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 are in a conducting state. Thus, the charge in the second storage capacitor C2 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges of the second storage capacitor C2 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In this equilibrium state, the charge of the second storage capacitor C2 is equal to the charge of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0055] The data voltage in the sixth frame is a negative voltage. At this time, the negative voltage of the third scan signal and data line S1 does not need to be transmitted. Only a high level of the second control signal is needed to activate the second multiplexer. The first terminals of the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 are in a conducting state. Thus, the charge of the third storage capacitor C3 flows to the first storage capacitor C1 until the charges of the third storage capacitor C3 and the first storage capacitor C1 finally reach an equilibrium state. In the equilibrium state, the charge of the third storage capacitor C3 is equal to the charge of the first storage capacitor C1.

[0056] Similarly, in a static image, the operation of the seventh frame, eighth frame...nth frame (n is a positive integer) also alternates in this manner. It should be noted that when the voltage of the second storage capacitor C2 is detected to be below the preset value, the pre-charging process of the first frame can be repeated; when the voltage of the third storage capacitor C3 is detected to be below the preset value, the pre-charging process of the second frame can be repeated.

[0057] Therefore, in this embodiment, after the pre-charging process of the first and second frames, the source driver can be turned off in the subsequent third, fourth, and so on. Only the gate driver needs to output the first and second control signals to control the charging process of each subsequent frame, thereby reducing power consumption when displaying static images. Simultaneously, when displaying dynamic images, since only the first scan signal is used, power consumption is also relatively reduced. It can be seen that this embodiment can achieve the goal of reducing power consumption for both dynamic and static images.

[0058] In summary, by outputting only the first scan signal when displaying dynamic images, and pre-charging the positive and negative voltages into the designed large capacitors when displaying static images, the source driver avoids continuous output, thereby reducing the power consumption of both dynamic and static images, and thus reducing the overall power consumption of the display panel.
