DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0031] In the prior art, a common pixel array usually outputs multiple scanning signals through a gate in panel (GIP), and frequency modulation is performed in units of a row of pixels.

[0032] By controlling the scan signal output by the GIP, it is possible to determine whether the thin film transistor (TFT) of the corresponding row is turned on, and further determine whether data is written to the pixels of the corresponding row, ultimately achieving control of the refresh rate of a row of pixels.

[0033] By controlling the refresh rates of multiple adjacent rows of pixels simultaneously, a certain pixel array partition display can be achieved.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a partitioned display driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. For ease of explanation, only the portion related to this embodiment is shown, which is described in detail as follows:

[0035] A partitioned display driving circuit 10 is used to drive a pixel array 20. The pixel array 20 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 100 arranged in an array. The partitioned display driving circuit 10 includes: a plurality of data lines, a plurality of strobe modules 200 and a control module 300.

[0036] A data line is used to connect a column of pixel circuits 100. The first end of the gating module 200 is used to receive a data signal, and the second end of the gating module 200 is connected to at least one data line. The control module 300 is connected to the first end of each gating module 200 and is used to output a data signal.

[0037] The gating module 200 is used to turn on or off according to the received data signal when receiving a periodic trigger signal, and the pixel circuit 100 is used to configure the refresh rate according to the duty cycle of the received data signal.

[0038] It should be noted that the pixel array 20 also includes multiple light-emitting signals, and a pixel circuit 100 can be connected to one or more light-emitting chips to control the brightness of each light-emitting chip. The control module 300 may include a control chip. Due to the limitations of the control chip model and function, it is difficult for a single control module 300 to individually adjust each data signal according to actual needs, and it is impossible to adjust the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 in the pixel array 20 on a column-by-column basis.

[0039] When the second end of the gating module 200 is connected to only one data line, this embodiment can change the duty cycle of the data signal output by the gating module 200 to the pixel circuit 100 by controlling the conduction and shutdown of the gating module 200, thereby changing the refresh rate of the pixel circuit 100 corresponding to an entire column. By coordinating multiple adjacent gating modules 200 or configuring the data signals of multiple data lines through a single gating module 200, a partitioned display of the pixel array 20 can be achieved. Compared to existing technical solutions, this embodiment only requires adjusting the data bit corresponding to the trigger signal in the data signal to achieve column-by-column adjustment of the refresh rate of the pixel array 20.

[0040] In one embodiment, the data signal includes periodic strobe control data bits, which correspond one-to-one to the trigger signal. The strobe module 200 is used to identify the level of the strobe control data bit when receiving the trigger signal, and remain on or off in the next cycle according to the level of the strobe control data bit.

[0041] It should be noted that the data signal can be considered as consisting of multiple level signals, and a strobe control data bit can correspond to one of the levels. A trigger signal can specifically be a pulse signal, for example, the trigger signal can be a low-level pulse signal.

[0042] In some embodiments, a trigger signal may specifically be a transition edge received by the strobe module 200 , and the strobe module 200 is configured to identify the data signal while detecting the transition edge of the signal.

[0043] When the selection module 200 receives a trigger signal (for example, when the trigger signal is a low-level pulse signal and the level of the terminal of the selection module 200 for receiving the trigger signal is a low level), the selection module 200 can identify the level of the selection control data bit of the data signal received simultaneously with the trigger signal, and before receiving the next trigger signal, the selection module 200 can be controlled to be turned on according to the level of the selection control data bit.

[0044] Preferably, the data signals output by the control module 300 are all high level except for the strobe control data bit.

[0045] It can be understood that when the selection module 200 is turned off, the corresponding pixel circuit 100 cannot receive the data signal, and thus cannot change the light-emitting parameters of the corresponding light-emitting chip (i.e., the corresponding pixel circuit 100 stops refreshing). However, when the selection module 200 is turned on, the corresponding pixel circuit 100 can change the light-emitting parameters of the corresponding light-emitting chip according to the data signal (i.e., the corresponding pixel circuit 100 can be continuously refreshed). Therefore, after changing the conduction state of the selection module 200, the refresh rate of the pixel circuit 100 can be adjusted. The longer the conduction time of a selection module 200, the greater the duty cycle of the data signal provided to the pixel circuit 100, and the higher the refresh rate of the corresponding column of pixel circuits 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the gating module 200 includes a logic operation unit 210, a storage unit 220, and a switch unit 230. The logic operation unit 210 is connected to a first terminal of the storage unit 220. Upon receiving a trigger signal SCAN, the logic operation unit 210 is configured to send a corresponding control signal to the storage unit 220 based on the level of the gating control data bit, and to control the storage unit 220 to store the control signal. The second terminal of the storage unit 220 is connected to a control terminal of the switch unit 230, and is configured to provide the stored control signal to the switch unit 230. The first terminal of the switch unit 230 is connected to the control module 300, and the second terminal of the switch unit 230 is connected to at least one data line. The switch unit 230 is configured to be turned on or off according to the control signal.

[0047] When the logic operation unit 210 receives the trigger signal SCAN, the logic operation unit 210 will identify the level of the data signal DATA-IC (selection control data bit) and output the corresponding control signal. Before receiving the next trigger signal SCAN (that is, in the next adjacent cycle), the storage unit 220 will save the control signal and continue to output it to the switch unit 230, thereby controlling the conduction and shutdown of the switch unit 230, and ultimately achieving the effect of changing the duty cycle of the data signal DATA-AA provided to the pixel circuit 100.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the logic operation unit 210 includes a first switch device Q1 and a second switch device Q2, the storage unit 220 includes a first inverter 221 and a second inverter, and the switch unit 230 includes a third switch device Q3. A first terminal of the first switch device Q1 is connected to the control module 300, a second terminal of the first switch device Q1 is connected to the input terminal of the first inverter 221, and a control terminal of the first switch device Q1 is configured to receive a trigger signal SCAN. A first terminal of the second switch device Q2 is connected to the input terminal of the first inverter 221, a second terminal of the second switch device Q2 is connected to the output terminal of the second inverter 222, and a control terminal of the second switch device Q2 is configured to receive a trigger signal SCAN. The output terminal of the first inverter 221 is connected to the input terminal of the second inverter 222 and to the control terminal of the third switch device Q3. A first terminal of the third switch device Q3 is connected to the control module 300, and a second terminal of the third switch device Q3 is connected to at least one data line. The turn-on logic of the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 is the same, and the turn-on logic of the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 is opposite to the turn-on logic of the second switching device Q2.

[0049] Preferably, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 are configured to be turned on at a low level, and the second switching device Q2 is configured to be turned on at a high level.

[0050] When the logic operation unit 210 receives the trigger signal SCAN, the trigger signal SCAN can turn on the first switch device Q1 and turn off the second switch device Q2. The logic operation unit 210 can output a corresponding control signal according to the level of the selection control data bit of the data signal DATA-IC output by the control module 300. After passing through the first inverter 221, the control signal is provided to the third switch device Q3 to control the conduction and shutdown of the third switch device Q3.

[0051] When the level of the selected control data bit is high, the control signal after inversion by the first inverter 221 can control the third switch device Q3 to turn on, and the data signal DATA-AA can be transmitted to the corresponding pixel circuit 100 through the third switch device Q3, so that the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting chip corresponding to the pixel circuit 100 are continuously refreshed.

[0052] When the level of the selected control data bit is low, the control signal after inversion by the first inverter 221 can control the third switch device Q3 to be turned off, and the data signal DATA-AA cannot be transmitted to the pixel circuit 100, so that the light-emitting parameters of the light-emitting chip corresponding to the pixel circuit 100 stop being refreshed.

[0053] Therefore, by properly configuring the levels of the strobe control data bits of different data signals DATA-IC, the refresh rates of the pixel circuits 100 in different columns can be made different.

[0054] In the next cycle (before the next trigger signal SCAN arrives), the first switch device Q1 is turned off and the second switch device Q2 is turned on. The control signal provided to the third switch device Q3 will be transmitted to the input end of the first inverter 221 through the second inverter 222, thereby achieving the effect of saving the control signal and keeping the switching state of the third control signal unchanged.

[0055] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the switch unit 230 further includes a fourth switch device Q4. A first terminal of the fourth switch device Q4 is connected to the first terminal of the third switch device Q3, a second terminal of the fourth switch device Q4 is connected to the second terminal of the third switch device Q3, and a control terminal of the fourth switch device Q4 is connected to the second terminal of the second switch device Q2. The conduction logic of the third switch device Q3 is opposite to the conduction logic of the fourth switch device Q4. Preferably, the fourth switch device Q4 is configured to be turned on at a high level.

[0056] Since the conduction logic of the third switching device Q3 is opposite to the conduction logic of the fourth switching device Q4, and the control signal provided to the fourth switching device Q4 is inverted by the second inverter 222, when the third switching device Q3 is turned on, the fourth switching device Q4 will also be turned on, thereby increasing the current passing through the switching unit 230 and improving the charging effect of the data line.

[0057] In one embodiment, the trigger signal SCAN is a low-level signal. The selection module 200 is used to, when receiving the trigger signal SCAN, continuously turn on in the next cycle if the selection control data bit is a high level, and continuously turn off in the next cycle if the selection control data bit is a low level.

[0058] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first switching device Q1 and the third switching device Q3 can both be low-level conduction switching devices, and the second switching device Q2 and the fourth switching device Q4 can both be high-level conduction switching devices. The first switching device Q1, the second switching device Q2, the third switching device Q3, and the fourth switching device Q4 can specifically be metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOS) or insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT). The specific device types of the first switching device Q1, the second switching device Q2, the third switching device Q3, and the fourth switching device Q4 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0059] Therefore, when the trigger signal SCAN is received, the first switch device Q1 is turned on and the second switch device Q2 is turned off. When the trigger signal SCAN is not received, the first switch device Q1 is turned off and the second switch device Q2 is turned on.

[0060] When the strobe control data bit is high, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned on in the period, and when the strobe control data bit is low, the third switching device Q3 and the fourth switching device Q4 are turned off in the period.

[0061] In one embodiment, the partitioned display driver circuit 10 further includes multiple scan circuits. One scan circuit is connected to a row of pixel circuits 100. The scan circuit is configured to transmit scan signals, which are used to configure the maximum refresh rate of each pixel circuit 100. The actual refresh rate of a pixel circuit 100 is equal to the product of the corresponding maximum refresh rate and the duty cycle of the corresponding data signal DATA-AA.

[0062] It is understood that the scan signal can determine the maximum refresh rate of each pixel circuit 100. When all the gating modules 200 are turned on, the refresh rate of each pixel circuit 100 is the maximum refresh rate. However, when some gating modules 200 are turned off for some time periods, the refresh rate of the corresponding pixel circuit 100 will decrease as the duty cycle of the data signal DATA-AA decreases.

[0063] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the pixel array 20 includes a first area, a second area, a third area, ..., and a ninth area, each of which includes a plurality of pixel circuits 100. The first area, the second area, the third area, ..., and the ninth area are arranged in the same row from left to right, the fourth area, the fifth area, and the sixth area are arranged in the same row from left to right, and the seventh area, the eighth area, and the ninth area are arranged in the same row from left to right.

[0064] When the fifth zone is required to be a high refresh zone and the other zones are low refresh zones, the maximum refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 in the fourth, fifth and sixth zones can be set to 120Hz by configuring each scanning signal, and the maximum refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 in the first, second, third, seventh, eighth and ninth zones can be set to 60Hz. On this basis, by keeping the gating module 200 corresponding to the fifth zone turned on, the conduction time of the gating modules 200 corresponding to the fourth and sixth zones is halved (that is, the duty cycle of the data signal DATA-AA output by the gating modules 200 corresponding to the fourth and sixth zones is 50%). Finally, the refresh rate of the fifth zone is set to 120Hz, and the refresh rates of the other zones are all set to 60Hz.

[0065] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the frequency of the trigger signal received by the gating module 200 is the same as the frequency of the scanning signal. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The scan signals shown in include a third-to-last row scan signal, a second-to-last row scan signal, and a last row scan signal. Figure 5 The middle strobe control data bit is high level, Figure 6 In some embodiments, when the strobe control data bit is at a high level, the corresponding strobe module 200 may be controlled to be turned on, and when the strobe control data bit is at a low level, the corresponding strobe module 200 may be controlled to be turned off.

[0066] It can be understood that the frequency of the scanning signal specifically refers to the frequency of the pulse used for scanning of any row of the scanning signal. The trigger signal can be set according to the scanning signal so that the selection module 200 has sufficient switching frequency, so that the minimum refresh rate of the pixel circuit 100 can be 1Hz.

[0067] For example, in some embodiments, taking 4 columns of data signals corresponding to 4 data lines as an example, Figure 7 The waveform diagram of the data signals in columns 1 to 4 is shown. The data signals in columns 1 to 4 are respectively provided to the pixel circuits 100 in columns 1 to 4 in the pixel array 20. The duty cycle of the data signals in columns 1 to 4 is 100%. When the maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz, the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 in columns 1 to 4 is 120 Hz.

[0068] For example, in some embodiments, taking 4 columns of data signals corresponding to 4 data lines as an example, Figure 8 The waveform diagram of the data signals for columns 1 to 4 is shown. The data signals for columns 1 to 4 are respectively provided to the pixel circuits 100 for columns 1 to 4 in the pixel array 20. The duty cycle of the data signals for columns 1 and 4 is 50%, and the duty cycle of the data signals for columns 2 and 3 is 100%. When the maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz, the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 for columns 1 and 4 is 60 Hz, and the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 for columns 2 and 3 is 120 Hz.

[0069] For example, in some embodiments, taking 4 columns of data signals corresponding to 4 data lines as an example, Figure 9The waveform diagram of the data signals for columns 1 to 4 is shown. The data signals for columns 1 to 4 are respectively provided to the pixel circuits 100 for columns 1 to 4 in the pixel array 20. The duty cycle of the data signals for columns 1 and 4 is 8.3%, and the duty cycle of the data signals for columns 2 and 3 is 100%. When the maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz, the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 for columns 1 and 4 is 1 Hz, and the refresh rate of the pixel circuits 100 for columns 2 and 3 is 120 Hz.

[0070] Specifically, the phase of the signal may be changed based on the tail scan signal, thereby obtaining a periodic trigger signal.

[0071] In some embodiments, the pixel array 20 includes N rows of pixel circuits 100, the partitioned display driving circuit 10 includes N+1 rows of scanning circuits, the 1st to Nth rows of scanning circuits correspond one-to-one to the N rows of pixel circuits 100, and the N+1th row of scanning circuits is used to provide the trigger signal.

[0072] It should be noted that a scanning signal usually includes a periodic pulse signal. Therefore, when a trigger signal is a pulse signal and the pulse signal parameters of the trigger signal are the same as those of the scanning signal, when the frequency of the trigger signal received by the selection module 200 is the same as the frequency of the scanning signal, a signal composed of a periodic trigger signal can be generated based on the waveform of the last row scanning signal (the scanning signal corresponding to the Nth row scanning circuit).

[0073] In some embodiments, the control module 300 is also used to output a trigger signal to each selection module 200.
