Note that the embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily understand the fact that the methods and contents can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0067] In the drawings, the sizes of various components, layer thicknesses, or regions may be exaggerated for clarity. Therefore, one embodiment of the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to these dimensions, and the shapes and sizes of the components in the drawings do not reflect true proportions. Furthermore, the drawings schematically illustrate idealized examples, and one embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the shapes or numerical values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0068] In this specification, ordinal numbers such as “first”, “second” and “third” are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements, and are not intended to limit the number.

[0069] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.

[0070] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure.

[0071] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transfer of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with various functions.

[0072] The term "about" in the present disclosure refers to a numerical value that is not strictly defined and allows for process and measurement errors.

[0073] Micro inorganic light-emitting diodes can include micro light-emitting diodes (Micro Light Emitting Diode, Micro LED) and sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes (Mini Light Emitting Diode, Mini LED), which have the advantages of small size and high brightness. They can be widely used in the backlight module of display devices. The picture contrast of display products using micro inorganic light-emitting diode backlight sources can reach the level of organic light-emitting diode (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, referred to as OLED) display products, allowing the product to retain the technical advantages of liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, referred to as LCD), thereby improving the display effect of the picture and providing users with a better visual experience. In addition, micro inorganic light-emitting diode displays have gradually become a hot spot for display panels, mainly used in AR / VR, TV and outdoor display fields.

[0074] At present, micro inorganic light emitting diode backlight sources are usually obtained by miniaturizing, arraying, and thin-filming LED chips using miniaturization process technology, and transferring the LED chips to the backlight panel in batches through mass transfer technology. The typical size (such as length) of Micro LED can be less than 100μm, for example, 10μm to 50μm. The typical size (such as length) of Mini LED can be about 100μm to 300μm, for example, 120μm to 260μm. A plurality of micro inorganic light emitting diodes are arranged on the backlight panel.

Each light-emitting area includes a micro inorganic light-emitting diode, or a plurality of micro inorganic light-emitting diodes with an electrical connection relationship. Each light-emitting area can be independently controlled.

[0075] The display product with Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) includes: a touch display module and a touch display chip. The touch display chip is configured to provide touch drive signals and display drive signals to the touch display module at the same time to realize time-sharing drive of touch and display of the TDDI display product. The touch display chip is also configured to receive touch sensing signals sent by the touch display module. Among them, the touch display chip is a chip formed by integrating the touch chip and the display chip, which can realize a thinner appearance, brighter display and narrow border of the TDDI display product.

The backlight driver chip is configured to provide a backlight drive signal to the backlight panel to drive the backlight panel to emit light. Since the backlight drive signal is an AC signal, when the output time of the backlight drive signal overlaps with the output time of the touch drive signal or the touch sensing signal, the backlight drive signal will affect and interfere with the touch drive signal or the touch sensing signal, making the touch performance and anti-interference ability of the TDDI display product poor, thereby reducing the reliability of the TDDI display product.

The array substrate includes a thin-film transistor array layer, and the color filter substrate includes a color filter layer and a black matrix layer. The pixel electrode may be disposed on the array substrate and electrically connected to the thin-film transistors of the thin-film transistor array layer. The common electrode may be disposed on either the array substrate or the color filter substrate, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0078] In an exemplary embodiment, one luminous area corresponds to at least one pixel area in the display panel, where a pixel area is an area where a pixel is located. Exemplarily, an orthographic projection of at least one pixel area on a plane parallel to the display panel falls within an orthographic projection of one luminous area on the same plane, or an orthographic projection of at least one pixel area on a plane parallel to the display panel overlaps with an orthographic projection of one luminous area on the same plane.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the touch enable signal TP-EN is a periodic square wave signal.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, the second driver chip may adopt a local backlight adjustment algorithm, so that the content displayed by the backlight panel changes with the change of the picture displayed by the touch display module.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the touch sensing signal is an analog signal. The first driver chip is further configured to process the touch sensing signal and send the processed touch sensing signal to the timing controller.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, the second driver chip may include: a touch detection circuit.

[0097] The touch display driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is electrically connected to the backlight panel and the touch display module respectively. The touch display driving circuit includes: at least one first driving chip, at least one second driving chip and a timing controller; the first driving chip is electrically connected to the timing controller and the touch display module respectively, and is configured to send a touch enable signal to the timing controller, and is also configured to send a touch drive signal to the touch display module when the touch enable signal is at a first level, and receive a touch sensing signal sent by the touch display module, and stop sending the touch drive signal to the touch display module when the touch enable signal is at a second level. The touch enable signal is a periodic square wave signal. ; The timing controller is electrically connected to the second driver chip and is configured to send a vertical synchronization signal to the second driver chip; the second driver chip is configured to generate a backlight drive signal, and is also configured to send the backlight drive signal to the backlight panel when the vertical synchronization signal is in a third level state, and stop sending the backlight drive signal to the backlight panel when the vertical synchronization signal is in a fourth level state; the start time of the touch enable signal in any first level state is the same as the start time of the vertical synchronization signal in any fourth level state, and the end time of the touch enable signal in any first level state is the same as the end time of the vertical synchronization signal in any fourth level state. In the present disclosure, the start time of the touch enable signal in any first level state is the same as the start time of the vertical synchronization signal in any fourth level state, and the end time of the touch enable signal in any first level state is the same as the end time of the vertical synchronization signal in any fourth level state. This can achieve that when the first driver chip sends a touch drive signal to the touch display module and receives a touch sensing signal sent by the touch display module, the second driver chip stops sending a backlight drive signal to the backlight panel. In other words, the touch display driver circuit provided in the present disclosure does not send a backlight drive signal to the backlight panel during the time period when it sends a touch drive signal to the touch display module and receives a touch sensing signal sent by the touch display module. That is, the output time of the backlight drive signal does not overlap with the output time of the touch drive signal or the touch sensing signal. The backlight drive signal cannot interfere with the touch drive signal and the touch sensing signal, thereby improving the anti-interference capability and reliability of the TDDI display product.

[0098] In the present disclosure, the start time of the touch enable signal TP-EN in any second level state is the same as the start time of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync in any third level state, and the end time of the touch enable signal TP-EN in any second level state is the same as the end time of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync in any third level state. This can achieve that when the touch enable signal is at the second level, the first driver chip stops sending the touch drive signal to the touch display module, and when the vertical synchronization signal is at the third level, the second driver chip sends the backlight drive signal to the backlight panel. In other words, the touch display driver circuit provided in the present disclosure will not send the touch drive signal to the touch display module during the time period when the backlight drive signal is sent to the backlight panel, that is, the output time of the backlight drive signal does not overlap with the output time of the touch drive signal or the touch sensing signal, and the touch drive signal will not interfere with the backlight drive signal, thereby improving the reliability of the TDDI display product.

[0099] The output time of the touch driving signal and the output time of the backlight driving signal in the present disclosure do not overlap, thereby realizing the time-sharing output of the backlight driving signal and the touch driving signal, and further realizing the time-sharing driving of the backlight panel and the touch display module by the touch display driving circuit.

Exemplarily, the first level can be a high level and the second level can be a low level, or the first level can be a low level and the second level can be a high level. Figure 2 The description is made by taking the example that the first level may be a low level and the second level may be a high level, and the present disclosure does not impose any limitation on this.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the absolute value of the third level is less than the absolute value of the fourth level. For example, the fourth level is a high level and the third level is a low level. In the present disclosure, when the vertical synchronization signal is at a high level, the second driver chip stops sending the backlight drive signal. When the vertical synchronization signal is at a low level, the second driver chip sends the backlight drive signal, and the backlight panel starts to operate, cooperating with the touch display module to achieve display.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first driver chip 110 is further configured to send a tearing effect (TE) signal to the timing controller 130, and provide a clock signal and a touch enable signal to the touch display module, wherein the tearing effect refers to the screen effect caused by the touch display module starting to write data for the next frame of display before the previous frame of display is fully displayed.

[0103] In an exemplary embodiment, the TE signal may include a start signal and an end signal for a frame of display. The first driver chip sending the TE signal to the timing controller can prevent screen tearing caused by inconsistent read and write speeds of the touch display driver circuit, which may result in data being written to the previous frame before the previous frame is fully displayed.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, the TE signal may also be output to the touch display module as a synchronization signal of the first driver chip, so that the first driver chip and the touch display module may perform frame alignment operations according to the TE signal.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller 130 is further configured to send backlight data to the second driver chip 120 when the vertical synchronization signal is at a fourth level, the backlight data including the brightness value of the backlight panel; the second driver chip 120 is further configured to generate a backlight driving signal according to the backlight data.

[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, the timing controller and the second driver chip both include a serial peripheral interface (SPI). The backlight data is data that can be transmitted via the SPI. The backlight data is updated once each frame of the display is displayed.

[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the backlight data is generated by the timing controller after processing received image data. The second driver chip can determine the luminous areas to be illuminated and the brightness of the illuminated luminous areas based on the backlight data. When the touch display module displays different images, the backlight data generated by the timing controller varies, and the luminous areas to be illuminated and the brightness of the illuminated luminous balls will also vary.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 FIG is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second driver chip. Figure 3 As shown, the second driving chip 120 may include a first memory 121 and a second memory 122. The first memory and the second memory are configured to store backlight data.

[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, the first memory 121 and the second memory 122 may be high-speed random access memory (RAM), or may be stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk memory.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the touch display driving circuit is configured to drive the display of multiple frames of display images. Figure 4The corresponding relationship between the time period of a frame display and the timing of the touch enable signal and the vertical synchronization signal is one. Figure 5 The second correspondence between the time period of a frame displayed by the display panel and the timing of the touch enable signal and the vertical synchronization signal. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the time period for displaying a frame of display image includes: a display time period Display-Time and a non-display time period. Among them, the touch enable signal TP-EN is at the second level during the display time period Display-Time and at the first level during the non-display time period. The vertical synchronization signal Vsync is at the third level during the display time period Display and at the fourth level during the non-display time period.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, the non-display time period may include at least one of: an uplink signal transmission time period (Uplink-Time), an external electrical component touch time period (Pen-Time), a biological limb touch time period (Finger-Time), an idle time period (Dummy-Time), a noise detection time period (Noise Detect-Time), and a reserved time period (Reserved-Time). The uplink signal includes a handshake signal for interaction between the first driver chip and the external electrical component; the reserved time period is the time period for internal calculations of the first driver chip and for aligning some signals between the first driver chip and the timing controller. The external electrical component touch time period (Pen-Time) refers to a time period when an external electrical component contacts the touch display module; the biological limb touch time period (Finger-Time) refers to a time period when a biological limb contacts the touch display module; the noise detection time period (Noise Detect-Time) refers to a time period for detecting noise from the touch display module; and the idle time period (Dummy-Time) refers to a time period when no operation is performed.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment, device A and device B use a communication protocol to exchange data. This interaction is called a "handshake," and the signal used for this interaction is called a "handshake signal." The handshake signal used by the first driver chip to interact with the peripheral electrical component refers to the signal used to interact between the first driver chip and the peripheral electrical component.

[0113] In an exemplary embodiment, the touch input operation can be implemented by a biological limb (such as a finger) or an external electrical component. The external electrical component can include a capacitive active pen or an electromagnetic pen.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, when the external electrical component is an electromagnetic stylus, the driving mode of the first driving chip may be different from the driving mode of the first driving chip when the external electrical component is an active capacitive stylus.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, the time period for displaying one frame of display picture may include at least one display time period. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The description is made by taking the example that the time period for displaying one frame of display picture includes: multiple display time periods.

[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of display time periods in a time period during which one frame of the display picture is displayed may be consistent with the number of divisions of the clock signal output by the first driving chip in a time period during which one frame of the display picture is displayed.

[0117] In an exemplary embodiment, a time period during which one frame of display picture is displayed may include a plurality of non-display time periods.

[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, when the number of display time periods (Display-Time) within a time period during which a frame of display image is displayed is one, the number of non-display time periods is two, and the display time period (Display-Time) is located between the two non-display time periods, with the first non-display time period occurring before the display time period (Display-Time). In this case, the first non-display time period includes a time period for transmitting an uplink signal, and the second non-display time period includes at least one of a time period for touch control of an external electrical component, a time period for touch control of a biological limb, an idle time period, a noise detection time period, and a reserved time period.

[0119] In an exemplary embodiment, the vertical synchronization signal changes from the fourth level to the third level, i.e., the falling edge of the vertical synchronization signal indicates that the second driver chip must obtain backlight data from the memory to generate a backlight drive signal. Adjacent falling edges obtain backlight data from different memories. Therefore, when the number of display time periods in the time period of a display frame is one, the first memory stores the backlight data corresponding to the current display frame, and the second memory can store the backlight data corresponding to the next display frame.

[0120] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the number of display time periods Display-Time in the time period of displaying a frame of display image is multiple, the number of non-display time periods is multiple, and the display time periods Display-Time and non-display time periods occur alternately. The first non-display time period occurs before the first display time period, and the first non-display time period includes: the uplink signal transmission time period Uplink-Time, and any non-display time period other than the first non-display time period includes: at least one of the peripheral electrical component touch time period Pen-Time, the biological limb touch time period Finger-Time, the idle time period Dummy-Time, the noise detection time period Noise Detect-Time, and the reserved time period Reserved-Time. Figure 4 The following description is made by taking as an example that the number of display time periods in the time period displayed by one frame of display picture is 11 and the number of non-display time periods in the time period displayed by one frame of display picture is 12. Figure 5 The following description is made by taking as an example that the number of display time periods in the time period of displaying one frame of display picture is 12 and the number of non-display time periods in the time period of displaying one frame of display picture is 13.

[0121] In an exemplary embodiment, the display phase of a time period during which a frame of display is displayed is divided into multiple display time periods, and the non-display phase is divided into multiple non-display time periods, and the multiple display time periods are separated by non-display time periods, that is, the vertical synchronization signal is repeatedly reduced from the fourth level to the third level. The falling edge of the vertical synchronization signal means that the second driver chip must obtain backlight data from the memory to generate a backlight drive signal. Adjacent falling edges obtain backlight data from different memories. Therefore, when there are multiple display time periods (Display-Time) in the time period during which a frame of display is displayed, both the first memory and the second memory store the backlight data corresponding to the current frame of display to ensure smooth display.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 The following is an example of how the first non-display time period is used as the uplink signal transmission time period Uplink-Time, the second non-display time period, the third non-display time period, the fifth non-display time period, the sixth non-display time period, the eighth non-display time period and the ninth non-display time period are the peripheral electrical component touch time period Pen-Time, the fourth non-display time period is the noise detection time period Noise Detect-Time, the seventh non-display time period, the tenth non-display time period and the eleventh non-display time period are the biological limb touch time period Finger-Time, and the twelfth non-display time period is the reserved time period Reserved-Time. Figure 5The first non-display time period includes: the uplink signal transmission time period Uplink-Time and the reserved time period Reserved-Time, the second non-display time period, the third non-display time period, the fifth non-display time period, the sixth non-display time period, the eighth non-display time period and the ninth non-display time period are the peripheral electrical component touch time period Pen-Time, the fourth non-display time period is the noise detection time period Noise Detect-Time, the seventh non-display time period, the tenth non-display time period and the eleventh non-display time period are the biological limb touch time period Finger-Time, the twelfth non-display time period is the idle time period Dummy-Time, and the thirteenth non-display time period is the reserved time period Reserved-Time.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, the duration of a time period during which one frame of display picture is displayed may be 11 milliseconds to 12 microseconds. For example, the duration of a time period during which one frame of display picture is displayed may be 11.11 milliseconds.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, when the number of display time periods is plural, the lengths of at least two display time periods may be the same.

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, the duration of any non-display time period may be 255 microseconds to 300 microseconds, for example, 258 microseconds. For example, the duration of the uplink signal transmission time period Uplink-Time may be 258 microseconds, the duration of the peripheral electrical component touch time period Pen-Time may be 258 microseconds, the duration of the biological limb touch time period Finger-Time may be 258 microseconds, the duration of the noise detection time period Noise Detect-Time may be 258 microseconds, the duration of the reserved time period Reserved-Time may be 258 microseconds, and the duration of the idle time period Dummy-Time may be 258 microseconds.

[0126] In an exemplary embodiment, when the transmission time of the backlight data corresponding to the current frame display image is less than the duration of any non-display period, the timing controller is further configured to transmit the backlight data corresponding to the current frame display image to one of the first memory and the second memory during the first non-display period, and to transmit the backlight data corresponding to the current frame display image to the other of the first memory and the second memory during the second non-display period. Exemplarily, the timing controller transmits the backlight data corresponding to the current frame display image to the first memory during the first non-display period, and transmits the backlight data corresponding to the current frame display image to the second memory during the second non-display period.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, when the refresh rate of the touch display module is high, the display time of a frame of display image is short, which may cause the transmission time of the backlight data corresponding to the current frame of display image to be greater than the duration of any non-display time period. In the state where the transmission time of the backlight data corresponding to the current frame of display image is greater than the duration of any non-display time period, the timing controller is configured to divide the backlight data corresponding to the current frame of display image into first backlight data to Nth backlight data, and send the nth backlight data to one of the first memory and the second memory during the 2n-1th non-display time period, and send the nth backlight data to the other of the first memory and the second memory during the 2nth non-display time period, where 1≤n≤N, and N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. For example, taking N=3 as an example, the timing controller sends the first backlight data to the first memory in the first non-display time period, sends the first backlight data to the second memory in the second non-display time period, sends the second backlight data to the first memory in the third non-display time period, sends the second backlight data to the second memory in the fourth non-display time period, sends the third backlight data to the first memory in the fifth non-display time period, and sends the third backlight data to the second memory in the sixth non-display time period.
