[0052] With the continuous development of electronic device display technology, users have higher requirements for the working performance of display screens (such as liquid crystal screens and the like) in low-temperature environments.

[0053] As a main display component of modern electronic devices, the working performance of a liquid crystal screen is significantly affected by the ambient temperature. In a low-temperature environment, the liquid crystal screen may not work normally due to excessively low temperature, resulting in display abnormalities, color distortion, or even failure to light up, which seriously affects the user experience. Traditional solutions such as increasing a temperature control system or increasing backlight power, although can effectively improve the working temperature of the liquid crystal screen, are often accompanied by high costs and additional energy consumption, which is not conducive to the lightness, long battery life, and cost control of the device.

[0054] To sum up, in order to ensure the economic benefits of the liquid crystal screen and improve the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in a low-temperature environment, the present application provides a display screen heating circuit and a heating method thereof, a display panel, and a display device.

[0055] The present application provides a display screen heating circuit. In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the display screen heating circuit of the present application. The display screen heating circuit comprises a liquid crystal screen module 10, a control module 20, and a backlight driving module 30. The screen back of the liquid crystal screen module 10 is provided with a heating film with the same size as the display area of the liquid crystal screen module 10. The control module 20 is electrically connected with the liquid crystal screen module 10, and is used to acquire the current ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 and determine the heating start signal of the heating film according to the current ambient temperature. The backlight driving module 30 is electrically connected with the control module 20 and the heating film, respectively. The backlight driving module 30 is used to access the heating start signal sent by the control module 20, and drive the heating film to heat the liquid crystal screen module 10 according to the heating start signal.

[0056] ​In the embodiment, the application is provided with a heating film covering the back of the screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10, which is the same size as the display area of the liquid crystal screen module 10, so that the heating film can uniformly cover the back of the screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10, thereby ensuring that the entire screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10 can be uniformly heated when the screen needs to be heated, avoiding display performance degradation or damage caused by local temperature being too high or too low. Next, when the display device using the display screen heating circuit is in the powered-on state, according to the electrical connection between the control module 20 and the liquid crystal screen module 10, the control module 20 can obtain the current ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 in real time, and intelligently determine whether the heating film needs to be started to heat according to the current ambient temperature. Once it is determined that the screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10 needs to be heated, a heating start signal is immediately output to the backlight driving module 30 to ensure that the liquid crystal screen module 10 can maintain the best working state under various ambient temperatures. Subsequently, according to the electrical connection between the backlight driving module 30 and the control module 20, the backlight driving module 30 can immediately receive the heating start signal sent by the control module 20, and in response to the heating start signal, the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 is switched from the backlight module path to the heating path; Next, according to the electrical connection between the heating path and the heating film, the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 flows into the heating film through the heating path to provide a stable and reliable constant current voltage source for the heating film to power, thereby ensuring that the heating film maintains a constant power output during the heating process. Not only avoids the problem of unstable heating effect caused by voltage fluctuation, but also avoids the high cost and additional energy consumption brought by traditional temperature control system and high backlight power, effectively solves the problems of display abnormalities, color distortion and other problems caused by low temperature, and further significantly improves the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in low temperature environment.

[0057] Further, in some possible embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a circuit connection schematic diagram of the display screen heating circuit of the application. The control module 20 includes a temperature detection unit 21, a display driving unit 22 and a control chip unit 23; the temperature detection unit 21 is arranged between the back of the screen and the heating film, the control chip unit 23 is electrically connected with the temperature detection unit 21 and the display driving unit 22 respectively, and the display driving unit 22 is electrically connected with the liquid crystal screen module 10.

[0058] In the embodiment, the temperature detection unit 21 is arranged between the back of the screen and the heating film, so that the temperature detection unit 21 can accurately obtain the current ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 during display.

[0059] The temperature detection unit 21 is configured to acquire the current ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 when the display driving unit 22 drives the liquid crystal screen module 10 to display under the action of the display driving signal sent by the control chip unit 23, and send the current ambient temperature to the control chip unit 23.

[0060] In the embodiment, when the display driving unit 22 drives the liquid crystal screen module 10 to display under the action of the display driving signal provided by the control chip unit 23, the temperature detection unit 21 starts to work and monitors and records the temperature change of the liquid crystal screen module 10 in real time according to the electrical connection between the display driving unit 22 and the control chip unit 23, so that the control chip unit 23 electrically connected with the temperature detection unit 21 can acquire the most real and accurate current ambient temperature, thereby providing accurate and reliable data support for the subsequent temperature intelligent control of the control chip unit 23.

[0061] The control chip unit 23 is configured to receive the current ambient temperature sent by the temperature detection unit 21, and determine the heating start signal of the heating film according to the current ambient temperature.

[0062] In the embodiment, after the control chip unit 23 receives the current ambient temperature sent by the temperature detection unit 21, it is detected whether the current ambient temperature is less than the minimum ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 during normal display according to the electrical connection between the control chip unit 23 and the temperature detection unit 21, and if it is detected that the current ambient temperature is less than the minimum ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 during normal display, the control chip unit 23 is intelligently triggered to immediately send the heating start signal of the heating film to the backlight driving module 30, which not only significantly improves the intelligent level of the control module 20, but also ensures that the liquid crystal screen module 10 can maintain the best working state under various ambient temperatures, effectively avoiding the display performance degradation or damage caused by low temperature problems.

[0063] Further, in other possible embodiments, with reference to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a circuit schematic diagram of the backlight driving module 30 involved in the display screen heating circuit of the present application. The backlight driving module 30 comprises a power supply switching unit 31 and a switch control unit 32; the signal input end of the power supply switching unit 31 is electrically connected with the control module 20, the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 is connected with the signal control end of the switch control unit 32, the first passage end of the switch control unit 32 is electrically connected with the liquid crystal screen module 10, and the second passage end of the switch control unit 32 is electrically connected with the heating film.

[0064] In the embodiment, the backlight driving module 30 realizes the intelligent power management of the liquid crystal screen module 10 and the heating film by integrating the power supply switching unit 31 and the switch control unit 32. Specifically, when the control module 20 sends the heating start signal to the power supply switching unit 31, the power supply switching unit 31 quickly responds and switches the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 from the backlight module path to the heating path. Next, according to the electrical connection of the heating path and the heating film, the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 flows into the heating film through the heating path, so as to provide a stable and reliable constant current voltage source for the heating film to supply power, thereby ensuring that the heating film maintains a constant power output during the heating process. Not only the problem of unstable heating effect caused by voltage fluctuation is avoided, but also the high cost and additional energy consumption caused by the traditional temperature control system and high backlight power are avoided, the problems of display abnormality and color distortion caused by low temperature are effectively solved, and the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in the low temperature environment is significantly improved.

[0065] It should be noted that the switch control unit 32 includes Figure 3 The backlight module path can be understood as a connection link in which the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 is electrically connected to the closed low-level on switch S1 to electrically connect the backlight lamp bead module in the liquid crystal screen module 10. The heating path can be understood as a connection link in which the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 is electrically connected to the closed high-level on switch S2 to electrically connect the heating film. The heating start signal provided by the application can be understood as a low-level signal.

[0066] Further, in some possible embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The power supply switching unit 31 includes a P-type MOS tube Q1 and an N-type MOS tube Q2; the gate end of the P-type MOS tube Q1 is electrically connected to the gate end of the N-type MOS tube Q2; the gate end of the P-type MOS tube Q1 is electrically connected to the connection intersection of the gate end of the N-type MOS tube Q2 to form the signal input end of the power supply switching unit 31, which is electrically connected to the control module 20; the source end of the P-type MOS tube Q1 is electrically connected to the positive power supply end, the source end of the N-type MOS tube Q2 is electrically connected to the negative power supply end, and the drain end of the P-type MOS tube Q1 is electrically connected to the drain end of the N-type MOS tube Q2; the connection junction of the drain end of the P-type MOS tube Q1 and the drain end of the N-type MOS tube Q2 forms the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31, which is electrically connected to the signal control end of the switch control unit 32.

[0067] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 3When the control module 20 sends a heating start signal to the power supply switching unit 31, the P-type MOS tube Q1 in the power supply switching unit 31 is switched from the off state to the on state under the drive of the low-level signal, so that the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 is pulled up to the positive power supply end electrically connected to the source end of the P-type MOS tube Q1, so that the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 outputs a high-level signal; next, Figure 3 The high-level on switch S2 shown is closed under the drive of the high-level signal to connect the signal output end of the power supply switching unit 31 to the heating path of the heating film, so that the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 flows into the heating film via the heating path to provide a stable and reliable constant current voltage source for the heating film to be powered, thereby ensuring that the heating film maintains a constant power output during the heating process, not only avoiding the problem of unstable heating effect caused by voltage fluctuation, but also avoiding the high cost and additional energy consumption brought by the traditional temperature control system and high backlight power, effectively solving the problems of display abnormalities, color distortion and other problems caused by low temperature, and thereby significantly improving the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in a low temperature environment.

[0068] Further, the liquid crystal screen module 10 comprises a liquid crystal driving circuit, a backlight lamp bead module and a liquid crystal display screen; the liquid crystal driving circuit is arranged in the non-display area of the liquid crystal screen module 10, the liquid crystal display screen is arranged in the display area, and the non-display area is arranged around the edge boundary of the display area; the backlight lamp bead module is arranged in the area overlapping the display area on the back of the screen.

[0069] In this example, the liquid crystal screen module 10 is composed of a liquid crystal driving circuit, a backlight lamp bead module and a liquid crystal display screen, which together realize high-quality display function. The liquid crystal driving circuit is ingeniously arranged in the non-display area of the liquid crystal screen module 10, which not only saves space but also ensures the effective layout of the circuit. In addition, the liquid crystal display screen occupies the display area and is responsible for directly presenting images or text. The backlight lamp bead module is located on the back of the screen and overlaps the display area, providing uniform and sufficient backlight for the liquid crystal display screen to ensure the clarity and brightness of the display picture.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, the liquid crystal driving circuit provided by the present application is electrically connected to the display driving unit 22 in the control module 20, and the display driving unit 22 sends the display driving signal provided by the control chip unit 23 to the liquid crystal driving circuit, so that the liquid crystal driving circuit provides a liquid crystal display voltage to the liquid crystal screen module 10 under the action of the display driving signal to realize the display of the liquid crystal screen module 10.

[0071] In another embodiment, the backlight lamp bead module provided by the present application is electrically connected to the display driving unit 22 in the control module 20, and the display driving unit 22 sends the display driving signal provided by the control chip unit 23 to the backlight lamp bead module, so that the backlight lamp bead module provides a constant current voltage source for the liquid crystal display screen under the action of the display driving signal to realize the display of the liquid crystal screen module 10. Figure 3The low-level on / off switch S1 shown is electrically connected. When the control module 20 sends a high-level heating stop signal to the power supply switching unit 31, the N-type MOSFET Q2 in the power supply switching unit 31 switches from the off state to the on state under the drive of the high-level signal, thereby pulling down the signal output terminal of the power supply switching unit 31 to the negative power supply terminal electrically connected to the source terminal of the N-type MOSFET Q2, thus causing the signal output terminal of the power supply switching unit 31 to output a low-level signal; Next... Figure 3 The low-level conducting switch S1 shown is closed under the drive of a low-level signal, connecting the signal output terminal of the power supply switching unit 31 to the backlight module path of the backlight lamp bead module, thereby enabling the constant current voltage source provided by the backlight driving module 30 to power the backlight lamp bead module, so that the backlight lamp bead module turns on the backlight.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments of the display screen heating circuit, a first embodiment of the heating method for the display screen heating circuit of this application is proposed. The heating method for the display screen heating circuit is applied to the above-described display screen heating circuit, with reference to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the heating method for the display screen heating circuit of this application. The heating method for the display screen heating circuit includes steps S10 to S20.

[0073] Step S10: Obtain the current ambient temperature of the LCD module 10 through the control module 20, and determine the heating start signal of the heating film based on the current ambient temperature.

[0074] In this embodiment, a heating film of the same size as the display area of ​​the LCD module 10 is provided to cover the back of the LCD module 10 screen. This ensures that the heating film can evenly cover the back of the LCD module 10 screen, thereby ensuring that the entire LCD module 10 screen can be heated evenly when heating is required, avoiding display performance degradation or damage caused by excessively high or low local temperatures.

Once it is determined that the LCD module 10 screen needs heating, a heating start signal is immediately output to the backlight driver module 30 to ensure that the LCD module 10 can maintain optimal operating conditions under various ambient temperatures.

[0075] Step S20: When the backlight driving module 30 receives the heating start signal sent by the control module 20, the heating film disposed on the back of the LCD module 10 is driven to heat the LCD module 10 according to the heating start signal.

[0077] Further, in some possible embodiments, the above step S20: driving the heating film arranged on the back of the liquid crystal screen module 10 to heat the liquid crystal screen module 10 according to the heating start signal, can further include the following implementation steps S201 to S202.

[0078] Step S201: judging whether the current environmental temperature is less than the minimum environmental temperature when the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays.

[0079] In the embodiment, by judging whether the current environmental temperature is lower than the minimum environmental temperature when the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays, real-time monitoring and comparative analysis of the environmental temperature are realized, thereby providing an important basis for the subsequent operation of driving the heating film to heat.

[0080] Step S202: if the current environmental temperature is greater than or equal to the minimum environmental temperature, the temperature detection unit 21 continuously acquires the current environmental temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 until the current environmental temperature is less than the minimum environmental temperature, and triggers the control module 20 to send the heating start signal of the heating film to the backlight driving module 30.

[0081] In the present embodiment, if the result of the determination in step S201 is that the current ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the minimum ambient temperature at which the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays, the temperature detection unit 21 continuously acquires the current ambient temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10, and real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature is maintained. Until the ambient temperature drops below the minimum ambient temperature, the display screen heating circuit provided in the present application triggers the control module 20 to send a heating start signal to the backlight driving module 30 to drive the heating film to start heating, so as to ensure that the heating film can start quickly in a low-temperature environment, and provide timely heating protection for the liquid crystal screen module 10, thereby effectively avoiding the display performance from being degraded or damaged due to the excessively low ambient temperature.

[0082] Further, in another possible embodiment, after the step S20 of driving the heating film provided on the back of the screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10 to heat the liquid crystal screen module 10 according to the heating start signal, the heating method of the display screen heating circuit further includes the following implementation steps A10 to A20.

[0083] Step A10: continuously acquire the screen heating temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 when the heating film is heating by the temperature detection unit 21, until the screen heating temperature rises to the minimum ambient temperature at which the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays, so that the heating film can continuously maintain the screen heating temperature to be the same as the minimum ambient temperature.

[0084] In the present embodiment, the temperature detection unit 21 continuously monitors the screen heating temperature of the liquid crystal screen module 10 during the heating process of the heating film, so as to ensure that the heating film can accurately heat the screen to the minimum ambient temperature at which the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays. When the screen heating temperature reaches the minimum ambient temperature, the display screen heating circuit provided in the present application enables the heating film to continuously maintain the screen heating temperature to be the same as the minimum ambient temperature, which not only ensures that the liquid crystal screen module 10 can work stably in a suitable temperature range, but also avoids energy waste and potential damage caused by excessive heating.

[0085] Step A20: when the average working temperature of the liquid crystal driving circuit reaches the minimum ambient temperature, enable the heating film to stop heating the liquid crystal screen module 10 under the heating stop signal of the control module 20.

[0086] In the embodiment, when the heating film is continuously maintained at the screen heating temperature same as the minimum ambient temperature, the working driving temperature of the liquid crystal driving circuit is obtained according to the preset sampling frequency, and the working temperature mean value of the liquid crystal driving circuit is calculated according to the plurality of working driving temperatures, until the working temperature mean value reaches the minimum ambient temperature when the liquid crystal screen module 10 normally displays, so that the heating film is stopped to heat the liquid crystal screen module 10 under the driving of the heating stop signal of the control module 20, that is, the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in the low-temperature environment is realized by the working temperature mean value of the liquid crystal driving circuit.

[0087] In summary, in the low-temperature environment, the terminal equipment (for example, the display equipment) can maintain the normal display temperature of the liquid crystal screen by relying on the weak heating of the backlight circuit, the driving circuit and other circuits of the liquid crystal screen, but after experiencing low-temperature storage, the temperature of the liquid crystal screen drops suddenly, and it is difficult to quickly restore the display function only by the heating of these circuits, resulting in a long heating process and display abnormalities of the liquid crystal screen during the period, which affects the normal operation of the equipment. The present application only sets a low-cost heating film on the back of the screen of the liquid crystal screen module 10, and uses the original backlight driving module 30 to drive the heating film to heat the liquid crystal screen module 10, which not only avoids the high cost and additional energy consumption caused by the traditional temperature control system and high backlight power, but also effectively solves the display abnormalities, color distortion and other problems caused by low temperature, and further significantly improves the working performance of the liquid crystal screen in the low-temperature environment.
