Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, specifically to a display device and its driving method. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional MLED display panels, the light-emitting time of each pixel unit is concentrated in the latter half of the driving cycle of a single frame, and the sweep signal has only one pulse cycle within that driving cycle. Therefore, when displaying low grayscale images, the light-emitting time of a traditional MLED display panel may be less than 10%, resulting in noticeable flickering. This flickering not only affects the viewing experience but may also cause visual fatigue.
[0003] Therefore, how to effectively improve the flicker problem when displaying low grayscale images while maintaining the advantages of MLED display panels has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current MLED display technology field. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a display device and its driving method, which aim to improve the flickering problem of the display panel when displaying low grayscale images.
[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a display device, comprising: a display panel, the display panel including N partitions divided along a scanning direction, each partition including M rows of pixel units, each pixel unit including a pixel circuit and a light-emitting device, where N and M are both positive integers; and a driving circuit electrically connected to the pixel units, the driving circuit being configured to generate a ramp signal, input the ramp signal to the pixel units, and sequentially control the pixel units of each of the N partitions to perform data writing and light emission within a driving cycle of one frame; wherein the ramp signal includes multiple pulse cycles within a driving cycle of one frame, the driving cycle of the pixel units of each partition includes a data writing phase and a light emission phase, the data writing phase preceding the light emission phase, and the light emission phase including multiple pulse cycles of the ramp signal.
[0006] Embodiments of this application also provide a driving method for a display device. The display panel of the display device includes N partitions divided along a scanning direction. Each partition includes M rows of pixel units. Each pixel unit includes a pixel circuit and a light-emitting device. N and M are both positive integers. The driving method includes: generating a ramp signal, the ramp signal including multiple pulse cycles within a driving cycle of one frame; inputting the ramp signal to multiple pixel units; and sequentially controlling the pixel units of each of the N partitions to perform data writing and light emission within a driving cycle of one frame. The driving cycle of the pixel units of each partition includes a data writing phase and a light emission phase, the data writing phase preceding the light emission phase, and the light emission phase including multiple pulse cycles of the ramp signal.
[0007] The embodiments of this application divide the display panel into N partitions along the scanning direction, and sequentially control the pixel units of each of these N partitions to write data and emit light within the driving cycle of one frame. Simultaneously, a ramp signal containing multiple pulse cycles within the driving cycle of one frame is used to control the light emission time of the pixel units, achieving distributed light emission time. Compared with traditional global synchronous light emission, the scheme of this application includes multiple sub-light emission stages within the driving cycle of one frame, with each sub-light emission stage corresponding to one pulse cycle of the ramp signal, thereby enabling each pixel unit to emit light multiple times within the driving cycle of one frame. This partitioned multi-pulse driving method allows the pixel units in each partition to emit light multiple times within one frame cycle, instead of emitting light only once. This distributed light emission method makes the light emission of the entire display panel more uniform in time. Therefore, even in low grayscale images, the light emission time can be evenly distributed throughout the driving cycle, effectively improving the flicker problem.
[0008] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application effectively eliminate the problem of uneven screen display caused by inconsistent transistor characteristics by compensating the threshold voltages of the second and seventh transistors, thereby further improving the display quality.
[0009] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application introduce a Vdd compensation technique, which makes the current Ids of the seventh transistor unrelated to Vdd, thereby effectively reducing the impact of power supply voltage fluctuations on the display effect and improving the stability of the display.

When the voltage of the second node B, Vdata + Vth1 - V∆sweep(t) - Vdd < Vth1, the second transistor T2 turns on, and the first power supply signal Vdd is written to the first node A, causing the seventh transistor T7 to turn off and the light-emitting device LED to stop emitting light.
[0097] During the light-emitting stage, the voltage of the first node A is Vccg + Vth2 or V(data - pam) + Vth2, and the voltage of the second node B is coupled by the ramp signal Sweep to Vdata + Vth1. The comparison and light emission are repeated multiple times, and this comparison process is carried out multiple times to achieve multi-pulse light emission.

[0099]
[0100] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in the display device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the pulse amplitude modulation module PAM further includes a twelfth transistor T12 and a thirteenth transistor T13.
[0101] The pixel circuit further includes a reference voltage signal Vref input terminal.
[0102] The gate of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the second light emission control signal EM2 or the input terminal of the scan signal S(J). One of the source and drain of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the reference voltage signal Vref input terminal, and the other of the source and drain of the twelfth transistor T12 is electrically connected to the third node C.
[0103] The gate of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the first light emission control signal EM1. One of the source and drain of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the first power supply signal Vdd, and the other of the source and drain of the thirteenth transistor T13 is electrically connected to the third node C.
[0104] During the data writing stage, the driving circuit is further configured to write the reference voltage signal Vref to the third node C.
[0105] During the light-emitting stage, the first light-emitting control signal EM1 input terminal receives the low-level first light-emitting control signal EM1, the thirteenth transistor T13 turns on, the voltage of the third node C changes from Vref to Vdd and is coupled to the first node A, the seventh transistor T7 turns off, and the light-emitting device LED stops emitting light.
[0106] The driving method also includes:
[0107] During the data writing phase, the reference voltage signal Vref is written to the third node C.
[0108] During the luminescence stage:
[0109] When the first light-emitting control signal EM1 input terminal receives the low-level first light-emitting control signal EM1, the thirteenth transistor T13 turns on, causing the voltage of the third node C to change from Vref to Vdd and couple to the first node A. The seventh transistor T7 turns off, and the light-emitting device LED stops emitting light.
[0110] Example 2
[0111] Example 2 is similar to Example 1, except that it adds a Vdd compensation function. Specifically, the pixel circuit in this example uses a structure of 13 transistors and 2 capacitors. Compared to Example 1, it adds a twelfth transistor T12 and a thirteenth transistor T13 to achieve Vdd compensation.
[0112] refer to Figure 6 The pixel circuit in this embodiment is improved upon that in embodiment 1 by adding the following:
[0113] The twelfth transistor T12 has its gate electrically connected to the input terminal of the second light emission control signal EM2, its source electrically connected to the input terminal of the reference voltage signal Vref, and its drain electrically connected to the third node C.
[0114] The thirteenth transistor T13 has its gate electrically connected to the input terminal of the first light-emitting control signal EM1, its source electrically connected to the input terminal of the first power supply signal Vdd, and its drain electrically connected to the third node C.
[0115] In this structure, the luminous current of the seventh transistor T7 is K*(Vccg+Vth2+Vdd-Vref-Vdd-Vth2)^2=k*(Vccg-Vref)^2, achieving compensation for Vdd. Specifically, when the first luminous control signal EM1 turns on the thirteenth transistor T13, the voltage at the third node C changes from the reference voltage Vref to Vdd, causing the voltage at the first node A to change from Vccg+Vth2 to Vccg+Vth2+Vdd-Vref. Therefore, the current of the seventh transistor T7 is Ids=K*(Vg-Vs-Vth)^2=K*(Vccg+Vth2+Vdd-Vref-Vdd-Vth2)^2=K*(Vccg-Vref)^2. This process achieves Vdd compensation, making the luminous current Ids independent of Vdd.
[0116] Refer to Table 2. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The specific working process of the display device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0117] Data writing phase:
[0118] Each row of pixel units undergoes sequential data signal writing and compensation. During this stage, the first data signal, Data-PWM, is written to the second node B of the pixel circuit, compensating the threshold voltage Vth1 of the second transistor T2 (in diode mode) to V(data-PWM) + Vth1. The voltage of the constant current source signal CCG is written to the first node A, compensating the threshold voltage Vth2 of the seventh transistor T7 (in diode mode) to Vccg + Vth2. After data writing, the voltages of the second node B and the first node A are stored through the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, respectively. Each row of pixel units is sequentially controlled by the scan signal S(J) for data writing and compensation.
[0119] In the light-emitting stage, the first light-emitting control signal EM1 is at a low level. The voltage of the third node C changes from Vref to Vdd and is coupled to the first node A, causing the voltage of the first node A to change from Vccg + Vth2 to Vccg + Vth2 + Vdd - Vref. The voltage of the first node A is Vccg + Vth2 - Vdd < Vth2, and the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the light-emitting device LED starts to emit light. The light-emitting current of the seventh transistor T7 is Ids = K * (Vg - Vs - Vth2)^2 = K * (Vccg + Vth2 + Vdd - Vref - Vdd - Vth2)^2 = K * (Vccg - Vref)^2, and this process achieves Vdd compensation. During the light emission of the light-emitting device LED, the voltage of the second node B decreases as the voltage of the ramp signal Sweep decreases. When the voltage of the second node B, Vdata + Vth1 - V∆sweep(t) - Vdd < Vth1, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the first power supply signal Vdd is written to the first node A, and the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, and the light-emitting device LED stops emitting light.

[0123] The gate of the fourteenth transistor T14 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the second light-emitting control signal EM2.

[0135] Example 3
[0136] Example 3 is similar to Example 2, except that Example 3 proposes a pixel circuit with a structure of 14 transistors and 3 capacitors, which realizes Vth / Vdd compensation.
[0137] refer to Figure 7 The pixel circuit of the display device in this embodiment is improved based on that in embodiment 2 by adding the following:
[0138] The fourteenth transistor T14 has its gate electrically connected to the input terminal of the second light emission control signal EM2, its source electrically connected to the input terminal of the second power supply signal Vss, and its drain electrically connected to the fourth node D.

[0140] Meanwhile, the gate of the tenth transistor T10 is changed to be electrically connected to the fourth node D, and the source of the eighth transistor T8 is changed to be electrically connected to the input terminal of the second data signal Data-PAM.
[0141] Refer to Table 3. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The specific working process of the display device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0142] Data writing phase:
[0143] The voltage V(data-pwm) of the first data signal Data-PWM is written to the second node B, compensating the threshold voltage Vth1 of the second transistor T2 in diode mode to V(data-pwm) + Vth1. The voltage Vdata of the second data signal Data-PAM is written to the first node A, compensating the threshold voltage Vth2 of the seventh transistor T7 in diode mode to V(data-pam) + Vth2. The reference voltage signal Vref is written to the third node C, and the second power supply signal Vss is written to the fourth node D. After writing the data, the voltages of the second node B, the first node A, and the fourth node D are stored through the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the third capacitor C3, respectively.
[0144] Luminescence stage:
[0145] The first light emission control signal EM1 is at a low level, the thirteenth transistor T13 is turned on, the voltage of the third node C changes from Vref to Vdd and is coupled to the first node A. The voltage of the first node A changes from V(data - pam)+Vth2 to V(data - pam)+Vth2+Vdd - Vref. The voltage of the fourth node D remains at the voltage of the second power supply signal Vss, the tenth transistor T10 remains turned on, the voltage of the first node A is V(data - pam)+Vth2 - Vdd<Vth2, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the light - emitting device LED starts to emit light. The light - emitting current of the seventh transistor T7 is K*(V(data - pam)+Vth2+Vdd - Vref - Vdd - Vth2)^2 = K*(V(data - pam)-Vref)^2, achieving Vdd compensation. During the light - emitting process, the voltage of the second node B decreases as the voltage of the ramp signal Sweep decreases.

This comparison light - emission is performed multiple times to achieve multi - pulse light - emission.
[0147] Table 3
[0148]
[0149] Since the input end of the first power supply signal Vdd will have different loads according to different picture contents, there may be certain instability and voltage drop. In this embodiment, since one plate of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the input end of the first power supply signal Vdd, the variation of the first power supply signal Vdd is coupled to the gate of the tenth transistor T10. In this way, the difference between the voltage Vg of the gate of the tenth transistor T10 and the voltage Vs of the source can be kept relatively stable, thereby offsetting the influence of the fluctuation of the first power supply signal Vdd and ensuring the stability of the current (the current formula is Ids = K*(Vg - Vs - Vth)^2).
[0150] Through the above technical solutions, the embodiments of the present application achieve multi - partition multi - pulse light - emission, effectively improve the flicker problem that occurs when the micro - light - emitting diode display panel displays low - gray - level pictures, and at the same time improve the display uniformity and stability through various compensation mechanisms.
[0151] The technical solution of the embodiments of this application can be applied to multi-pulse emission of multi-segment single-slope wave signals, with waveforms as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, it can also be applied to multi-pulse emission of single-segment single-slope wave signals, with waveforms as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the light-emitting stage includes multiple sub-light-emitting stages. During the data writing stage, the second light-emitting control signal EM2 is a low-level signal. In the first sub-light-emitting stage, the second light-emitting control signal EM2 is a high-level signal. In the second and subsequent sub-light-emitting stages, the second light-emitting control signal EM2 is first a low-level signal and then a high-level signal. That is, before or during each sub-light-emitting stage, the low-level second light-emitting control signal EM2 is used to reset each row of pixel units. The ramp signal Sweep is a linearly decreasing voltage signal; in the second and subsequent sub-light-emitting stages, the ramp signal Sweep is first a high-level signal and then becomes a linearly decreasing voltage signal. Single-segment refers to the micro-LED display panel not being divided into multiple zones; single ramp signal refers to a ramp signal output terminal being electrically connected to all pixel units of the entire micro-LED display panel; multi-pulse refers to the ramp signal including multiple sub-light-emitting stages in the light-emitting stage of each frame's drive cycle, with each sub-light-emitting stage being one comparison light-emitting time. The number of pulses can be customized from one to multiple as needed.
[0152] The embodiments of this application divide the display panel into N partitions along the scanning direction SD, and sequentially control the pixel units of each of these N partitions to write data and emit light within the driving cycle of one frame. Simultaneously, a ramp signal containing multiple pulse cycles within the driving cycle of one frame is used to control the light emission time of the pixel units, achieving distributed light emission time. Compared with traditional global synchronous light emission, the scheme of this application includes multiple sub-light emission stages within the driving cycle of one frame, with each sub-light emission stage corresponding to one pulse cycle of the ramp signal, thereby enabling each pixel unit to emit light multiple times within the driving cycle of one frame. This partitioned multi-pulse driving method allows the pixel units in each partition to emit light multiple times within one frame cycle, instead of emitting light only once. This distributed light emission method makes the light emission of the entire display panel more uniform in time. Therefore, even in low grayscale images, the light emission time can be evenly distributed throughout the driving cycle, effectively improving the flicker problem.
[0153] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application effectively eliminate the problem of uneven screen display caused by inconsistent transistor characteristics by compensating the threshold voltages of the second transistor T2 and the seventh transistor T7, thereby further improving the display quality.
[0154] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application introduce a Vdd compensation technique, which makes the current Ids of the seventh transistor T7 independent of Vdd, thereby effectively reducing the impact of power supply voltage fluctuations on the display effect and improving the stability of the display.
[0155] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. The content of this specification should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
