[0038] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided for illustration rather than limitation to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the embodiments of the present application.

[0039] Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, a key component of modern display technology, has made significant progress in recent years. As users' demands for a better visual experience continue to rise, the resolution and refresh rate of LCD screens have become key performance indicators. High resolution delivers more detailed and clear images, while high refresh rates reduce image smearing and blur, making dynamic images smoother and more natural.

[0040] However, as resolutions and refresh rates continue to increase, LCD displays face a significant challenge: insufficient pixel charge rate. The pixel charge rate refers to the ability of a pixel electrode to charge to a predetermined voltage within a given timeframe, directly impacting display performance, such as brightness and contrast. At high resolutions and refresh rates, the charge time per pixel is significantly shortened, while the amount of charge required remains constant or even increases. This results in a significant decrease in the pixel charge rate.

[0041] To address this challenge, the existing technology generally adopts the method of increasing the channel width of the pixel driving transistor to improve the charging capacity of the pixel. The driving transistor is a key component in the liquid crystal display and is responsible for controlling the charging and discharging process of the pixel electrode. Increasing the channel width can increase the on-current of the driving transistor, thereby charging the pixel electrode with sufficient charge in a shorter time. However, this method has the following defects: on the one hand, increasing the channel width will lead to an increase in the load of the display. The increase in the channel width of the driving transistor means that the driving current required for each pixel also increases, which puts higher requirements on the driving circuit of the display. If the driving circuit cannot provide sufficient current, it will lead to problems such as uneven brightness of the display and prolonged response time. On the other hand, increasing the channel width will also reduce the aperture ratio of the display. The aperture ratio refers to the ratio of the effective light-transmitting area of the pixel electrode to the entire pixel area. It directly affects the light transmittance and brightness of the display. The increase in channel width will occupy more pixel area, resulting in a decrease in aperture ratio, thereby reducing the brightness and contrast of the display. Therefore, although increasing the channel width of the pixel driving transistor can alleviate the problem of insufficient pixel charging rate to a certain extent, this method has the disadvantages of increasing the display load and reducing the aperture ratio, which limits the ability to further improve the performance of the display.

[0042] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a coupling control circuit, a display driving circuit, an array substrate and a display panel. By providing a coupling voltage to the pixel driving circuit when it enters the charging state, the charging starting voltage of the pixel electrode is adjusted, thereby reducing the charging difficulty, so that the pixel electrode can quickly reach the required voltage. There is no need to increase the channel width of the pixel driving transistor, and the pixel charging rate can be improved without causing problems such as increased display screen load and reduced aperture ratio.

[0043] The coupling control circuit, display driving circuit, array substrate and display panel provided in the embodiments of the present application are specifically described through the following embodiments. First, the coupling control circuit in the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application provides a coupling control circuit, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a coupling control circuit provided in one embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the coupling control circuit includes:

[0045] A coupling voltage source 10;

[0046] A coupling control unit 20, wherein a first end of the coupling control unit 20 is electrically connected to the coupling voltage source 10 through a coupling line, a controlled end of the coupling control unit 20 is electrically connected to the gate line, and a second end of the coupling control unit 20 is electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit. When the pixel driving circuit enters a charging state based on a gate control signal output by the gate line, the coupling control unit 20 provides a coupling voltage to the pixel driving circuit based on the coupling voltage source 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, an example is given in which a pixel driving circuit is only used to charge one pixel out of n pixels in a display panel. Correspondingly, a coupling control circuit is used to provide a coupling voltage to the pixel when the pixel enters a charging state, so that when the corresponding driving transistor of the pixel is turned on by a gate driving signal from a gate line, the pixel can raise its own charging starting voltage based on the coupling voltage from the coupling control circuit. In this way, even under conditions of high resolution and high refresh rate, the charging time of each pixel is greatly shortened, and the pixel can reach the required voltage within a shorter charging time, without affecting the display effect of the display panel.

[0048] As an example, when n pixel driving circuits are required to drive n pixels in a display panel, n coupling control circuits can be correspondingly set and connected one-to-one with the n pixel driving circuits to provide coupling voltages for the n pixels. Alternatively, n coupling control units can share a coupling voltage source to provide coupling voltages for the n pixels. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application provides a coupling control circuit, which adjusts the charging starting voltage of the pixel electrode by providing a coupling voltage to the pixel driving circuit when the pixel driving circuit enters the charging state, thereby reducing the charging difficulty and enabling the pixel electrode to quickly reach the required voltage. It does not need to increase the channel width of the pixel driving transistor, and can also improve the pixel charging rate without causing problems such as increased display load and reduced aperture ratio.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the coupling control unit 20 may specifically include:

[0051] a coupling transistor T, wherein a first end of the coupling transistor T is electrically connected to a coupling voltage source 10 via a coupling line, a controlled end of the coupling transistor R is electrically connected to the gate line, and the coupling transistor R is turned on when the pixel driving circuit enters a charging state based on a gate control signal output by the gate line;

[0052] A coupling capacitor C, one end of the coupling capacitor C is electrically connected to the second end of the coupling transistor T, and the other end of the coupling capacitor C is electrically connected to the pixel electrode in the pixel driving circuit. When the coupling transistor T is turned on, the coupling capacitor C provides a coupling voltage to the pixel electrode based on the coupling voltage source 10.

[0053] In this embodiment, one coupling transistor T can be connected to multiple coupling capacitors C. The number of coupling capacitors C is related to the pixel polarity of the display panel and the number of pixels in the same row.

[0054] In this embodiment, the coupling transistor T may be a TFT (Thin Film Transistor), a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), or other devices with similar characteristics, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0055] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 3 The coupling voltage source 10 includes a first polarity voltage source VHL and a second polarity voltage source VLH. The polarities of the output signals of the first polarity voltage source VHL and the second polarity voltage source VLH are opposite. The connection method between the coupling control unit and the first polarity voltage source VHL and / or the second polarity voltage source VLH is determined according to the pixel polarity of the pixel driving circuit.

[0056] In this embodiment, taking a liquid crystal display as an example, since the liquid crystal display needs to perform polarity inversion, the coupling lines of all pixels of the same polarity in a frame need to be connected to a coupling voltage source of the same polarity (such as a first polarity voltage source VHL), and the coupling lines of pixels of the other polarity need to be connected to another coupling voltage source of the same polarity (such as a second polarity voltage source VLH).

[0057] In practical applications, the coupling voltage source provided by this embodiment can be implemented with only two signal transmission lines, which can effectively save space.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 4 ,When the polarities of pixels in adjacent rows are opposite, the number of coupling control units, the number of coupling lines and the number of gate lines are the same;

[0059] The coupling control units electrically connected to the gate lines of the adjacent rows are electrically connected to the first polarity voltage source and the second polarity voltage source through the coupling lines of the adjacent rows.

[0060] In this embodiment, Figure 4 FIG2 shows a structural diagram of a specific connection mode between the coupling control circuit and the pixel driving circuit when the polarities of pixels in adjacent rows are opposite. Figure 4 The specific structure of 16 pixels in 4 rows and 4 columns and their pixel driving circuit is shown. Gn, Gn+1, Gn+2 and Gn+3 are 4 rows of gate lines, each of which is connected to a coupling transistor. Each coupling transistor is connected to 4 coupling capacitors, so there are a total of 4*4=16 coupling capacitors to provide coupling voltages for the corresponding pixels. Since the pixels in the first and third rows are positive polarity "+", the corresponding coupling transistors are electrically connected to the first polarity voltage source. Similarly, since the pixels in the second and fourth rows are negative polarity "-", the corresponding coupling transistors are electrically connected to the second polarity voltage source.

[0061] Since the pixels require opposite polarities, the signals provided by the first polarity voltage source VHL and the second polarity voltage source VLH are a pair of signals with opposite polarities all the time, and the polarities need to be switched in adjacent frames (for example, the Nth frame and the N+1th frame), such as Figure 5 As shown by Figure 5 It can be seen that in the Nth frame, when Gn is turned on, the VHL signal will be sent to the polarity 1 coupling line through the corresponding control TFT. The polarity of the polarity 1 coupling line is the same as the polarity of the corresponding pixel to be charged, which will ensure that the coupling direction of the coupling line is consistent with the charging direction of the pixel electrode; when entering the N+1th frame, the pixel corresponding to polarity 1 needs to be charged with a voltage opposite to that of the Nth frame. It happens that VHL has also changed to another polarity at this time. When Gn is turned on, it can also meet the same direction jump as the pixel in the N+1th frame, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the charging rate by coupling in the same direction.

[0062] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 5 , when the polarities of pixels in adjacent columns are opposite, the coupling control unit includes a first polarity coupling control unit and a second polarity coupling control unit, the coupling lines include a first polarity coupling line and a second polarity coupling line, and the number of the first polarity coupling control units, the number of the second polarity coupling control units, the number of the first polarity coupling lines, the number of the second polarity coupling lines, and the number of the gate lines are the same;

[0063] The first polarity coupling control unit is electrically connected to the first polarity voltage source through a first polarity coupling line;

[0064] The second polarity coupling control unit is electrically connected to the second polarity voltage source through a second polarity coupling line.

[0065] In this embodiment, Figure 6 FIG2 shows a structural diagram of a specific connection mode between the coupling control circuit and the pixel driving circuit when the polarities of pixels in adjacent columns are opposite, which is similar to the row inversion in the above embodiment. Figure 6The specific structure of 16 pixels in 4 rows and 4 columns and their pixel driving circuit is shown. Gn, Gn+1, Gn+2 and Gn+3 are 4 rows of gate lines, each row of gate lines is connected to 2 coupling transistors, and each coupling transistor is connected to 2 coupling capacitors. Therefore, there are a total of 8*2=16 coupling capacitors to provide coupling voltage for the corresponding pixels; since the first and third columns of pixels are positive polarity "+", the corresponding coupling transistors are electrically connected to the first polarity voltage source. Similarly, since the second and fourth rows of pixels are negative polarity "-", the corresponding coupling transistors are electrically connected to the second polarity voltage source.

[0066] In this embodiment, the working waveforms of the signals provided by the first polarity voltage source VHL and the second polarity voltage source VLH are similar to those of the first polarity voltage source VHL and the second polarity voltage source VLH. Figure 5 The embodiments are basically the same and the working principles are similar. Based on the above embodiments, it is not difficult to know the specific driving waveform of this embodiment, so it will not be described in detail.

[0067] In some feasible embodiments, the first polarity voltage source is generated based on an AC signal;

[0068] The second polarity voltage source VLH is generated based on the first polarity voltage source VHL, the first transistor T1 , the second transistor T2 , the first polarity DC voltage, and the second polarity DC voltage.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the external circuit is insufficient to provide the AC signals VHL and VLH simultaneously, only the VHL signal may be provided, and the VLH signal is generated by an externally provided first polarity DC voltage (e.g., a high voltage DC signal VDD) and a second polarity DC voltage (e.g., a low voltage DC signal VEE), as well as the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2.

[0070] In some possible embodiments, reference Figure 7 The controlled terminal and the first terminal of the first transistor T1 are both connected to a first polarity DC voltage, the second terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the second transistor T2, the controlled terminal of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first polarity voltage source VHL, the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to a second polarity DC voltage, the second polarity voltage source VLH is output via the second terminal of the first transistor T1 and the first terminal of the second transistor T2, and the channel width-to-length ratio of the first transistor T1 is smaller than the channel width-to-length ratio of the second transistor T2.

[0071] In this embodiment, the channel width-to-length ratio of the first transistor T1 needs to be much smaller than that of the second transistor T2 to ensure that when the VHL voltage is high, the equivalent resistance of the second transistor T2 is much smaller than the equivalent resistance of the first transistor T1, so that VLH can output a low voltage.

[0072] As an example, the driving waveform involved in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 8 As shown by Figure 8 It can be seen that in the Nth frame, when VHL is high, the output VLH is low; in the N+1th frame, when VHL is low, the output VLH is high.

[0073] In addition, the embodiment of the present application also provides a display driving circuit, referring to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the display driving circuit includes: data lines, gate lines, a pixel driving circuit and the coupling control circuit as described above. The pixel driving circuit is electrically connected to the data lines, the gate lines and the coupling control circuit respectively. When the pixel driving circuit enters a charging state based on a gate control signal output by the gate line, the coupling control unit provides a coupling voltage to the pixel driving circuit based on a coupling voltage source.
