Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a method for refreshing a display in zones, a display system, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of display technologies, in order to display smooth pictures, the screen refresh rates supported by electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers are continuously increasing. However, the power consumption of displays poses a great challenge to power saving of devices or battery life. For this reason, in recent years, displays that support reducing the refresh rate to a low refresh rate or even an ultra-low refresh rate have been gradually introduced into the market. For example, low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) displays support reducing the refresh rate to 1 Hz. However, the current refresh method of display devices is to refresh the entire screen. When only a small part of the screen needs to be updated, the display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) still has to refresh the entire screen, resulting in waste of power consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of this application provide a method for refreshing a display in zones and an electronic device, which can solve one or more problems such as screen horizontal stripes, brightness differences between low-refresh-rate zones and high-refresh-rate zones, and screen flickering while supporting the function of variable frequency in zones.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for refreshing a display in zones. This method can be applied to a display, which may include: a display circuit, a first array substrate row driving GOA circuit, and a second GOA circuit. Among them, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel units. The first GOA circuit includes M*N cascaded first GOA units. The first GOA circuit is connected to M enable signal lines. One enable signal line is connected to N levels of first GOA units. The first GOA unit is used to output a data holding signal to the pixel unit. The second GOA circuit includes cascaded second GOA units. The second GOA unit is used to output a data writing control signal to the pixel unit. M and N are positive integers, and M is greater than or equal to 2.

[0005] This method may include:

[0006] At time h, control the initial first GOA unit to output a data holding signal, and the data holding signal lasts for X row scanning times, where X > N.

[0007] At time k, control the initial second GOA unit to output a data writing control signal. Time k is later than time h + N*H and earlier than time h + X*H, where H represents a row scanning time.

[0008] In the first aspect, the display may be the display 10 mentioned in the subsequent embodiments, and the display circuit, the first GOA circuit, and the second GOA circuit may be the display circuit 21, the GOA circuit 22, and the GOA circuit 23 mentioned in the subsequent embodiments; the first GOA unit and the second GOA unit may be the GOA unit 220 and the GOA unit 230 mentioned in the subsequent embodiments.

[0009] Implementing the method provided in the first aspect, introducing more enable signal lines into the display 10 can continuously provide an enable signal to the cascaded GOA unit 220 for a longer time, providing conditions for broadening the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 and creating a non-coupling region. Moreover, the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 is at least greater than N line scanning times to ensure that the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 output by each GOA unit 220 includes a non-coupling region. Additionally, the time k is later than the time h + N*H, which can cause the data write control signal G1 to appear after the coupling region of the data holding signal S1, thereby realizing that the data writing to the pixel unit is not affected by the glitch of S1 and preventing screen horizontal streaks.

[0010] Combined with the first aspect, in some embodiments, controlling the initial first GOA unit to output a data holding signal may specifically include: among the cascaded M*N first GOA units, controlling the i-th first GOA unit to output a data holding signal at the time h + (i - 1)*Q*H. i is a positive integer, i ≤ M*N, and Q represents that the data holding signal S1 output by the i-th GOA unit 220 is Q line scanning times earlier than the data holding signal S1 output by the (i + 1)-th GOA unit 220, and Q can take positive integer values such as 1, 2, etc.

[0011] Combined with the first aspect, in some embodiments, controlling the initial first GOA unit to output a data holding signal may specifically include: at the time h - Q*H, inputting a column start STV signal to the input end of the initial first GOA unit, and Q represents that the i-th first GOA unit outputs a data holding signal Q line scanning times earlier than the (i + 1)-th first GOA unit.

[0012] Combined with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the maximum value X max of X can be calculated as follows: X max = M*Y - (M*N - 1)*Q, where Y represents the pulse width of the enable signal on the enable signal line, and Q represents that the i-th first GOA unit outputs a data holding signal Q line scanning times earlier than the (i + 1)-th first GOA unit. It can be seen that the larger M is, the larger X max is, that is, increasing the number of VFE signals can broaden the pulse width of the S1 signal.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, controlling the initial second GOA unit to output a data write control signal may specifically include: in the cascaded second GOA units, the j-th second GOA unit starts to output a data write control signal at time k+(j - 1)*q; q represents the time delay of the j-th second GOA unit relative to the (j - 1)-th second GOA unit when outputting the data write control signal; j is a positive integer and j is less than or equal to the number of cascaded second GOA units.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, controlling the initial second GOA unit to output a data write control signal may specifically include: at time k - q, inputting a column start STV signal to the input terminal of the initial second GOA unit; q represents the time delay of the j-th second GOA unit relative to the (j - 1)-th second GOA unit when outputting the data write control signal.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the VFE signal may be a high-level signal, and the data hold signal may also be a high-level signal; the method provided by the first aspect may further include: controlling the time when the enable signal on the enable signal line switches from high level to low level to be later than a first time, where the first time is the time when the data hold signal output by the last first GOA unit connected to the enable signal line switches from high level to low level.

[0104] The terms used in the following embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0105] As used in the specification and appended claims of the present application, the singular forms "a", "an", "the", "above", "said", "this" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0106] Figure 1 It shows a display 10 provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0107] The display 10 has a function of variable frequency for different regions, that is, different regions of the screen can adopt different refresh rates to balance high refresh rate and power consumption reduction. When the picture of a screen region needs to be updated, the DDIC can write data to this screen region, while for other screen regions that do not need to update the picture, the DDIC does not need to perform data writing, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving chip. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the screen is divided into three regions. The refresh rates of the upper and lower regions are 120 Hz, and the refresh rate of the middle region is 1 Hz. The middle region is set to a low refresh rate because the picture does not need to be updated for a long time. In this way, the whole screen does not need to adopt a high refresh rate of 120 Hz, significantly reducing the power consumption of the driving chip.

[0108] The refresh rate is the number of times the display refreshes the display picture within 1 second. For example, a refresh rate of 60 Hz means that the display refreshes the display picture 60 times within 1 second.

[0109] To support the function of variable frequency for different regions, the display 10 can adopt the Gate On Array (GOA) technology. GOA can realize the function of progressive scanning drive of the display.

[0110] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the display 10 may include a display circuit 21, a GOA circuit 22, and a GOA circuit 23.

[0111] Among them, the display circuit 21 may include M * N * P pixel units 210. M represents the number of enable signals connected to the GOA circuit 22, N represents the number of GOA units 220 connected to one enable signal, and P represents the number of pixel units 210 connected to one GOA unit 220, and also represents the number of pixel rows it drives. M, N, and P are positive integers.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, the "*" in each operation expression represents a multiplication operation. Not limited to "*", the multiplication operation can also be represented by "×".

[0113] A pixel unit 210 can be responsible for the display of one row. A pixel unit 210 may have: a data holding signal input terminal (labeled 2), a data writing control signal input terminal (labeled 1), a data signal input terminal (labeled Data), and one or more reset voltage input terminals, such as Vref1 and Vref2. Among them, the input terminal 2 is connected to the output terminal of the GOA unit 220 (labeled NScan1) in the same row, and can be used for the pixel unit 210 to receive the data holding signal (labeled S1) output by the GOA unit 220, so as to control the light-emitting diode in the pixel unit to maintain the brightness. The input terminal S2 is connected to the output terminal of the GOA unit 230 (labeled PScan1) in the same row, and can be used for the pixel unit 210 to receive the data writing control signal (labeled G1) output by the GOA unit 230, so as to enable the input terminal Data of the pixel unit to receive the data writing of the DDIC, and this data writing is reflected as the data voltage Vdata loaded on the input terminal Data. The input terminal Data can be connected to the DDIC, and can be used for the pixel unit to receive the data writing (data voltage Vdata) of the DDIC and adjust the light emission of the light-emitting component. The reset voltage input terminal can be connected to the DDIC, and can be used for the pixel unit to receive the reset voltage provided by the external (such as the DDIC) and perform a reset process. For example, the data signal is reset according to the reset voltage of the input terminal Vref1 (also known as the reset voltage Vref1), and the data signal is restored to the default value, and this default value can generally be set to a darker brightness value. For another example, the anode voltage of the light-emitting component (such as OLED) in the pixel unit is reset according to the reset voltage of the input terminal Vref2 (also known as the reset voltage Vref2).

[0114] Figure 3 Shows the basic structure of an LPTO pixel unit. As Figure 3As shown, the pixel unit 210 may include transistors M1 to M7 and a light-emitting component OLED. Among them, transistor M1 is a driving transistor, transistor M2 is a data input transistor, transistor M3 is a compensation transistor, transistors M5 and M6 are light-emitting control transistors, and transistors M4 and M7 are reset transistors. The control electrode (gate in the figure) of transistor M2 is electrically connected to input terminal 1 to access the data write control signal G1 output by the GOA unit 230. The (drain in the figure) of transistor M2 is electrically connected to input terminal Data to receive the data write (data voltage Vdata) of the DDIC. The control electrode (gate in the figure) of transistor M3 is electrically connected to input terminal 2 to access the row scan signal S1 (also known as the data holding signal) output by the GOA unit 220. The control electrodes of transistors M4 and M7 are electrically connected to the reset control terminal Reset to access the reset control signal, and their sources are connected to input terminals Vref1 and Vref2 to access the externally provided reset voltage. Figure 3 In this, Vdd and Vss may respectively represent the positive power supply and the negative power supply.

[0115] The voltage magnitudes of the reset voltage and the data voltage Vdata will affect the brightness of the light-emitting component OLED. In the embodiments of the present application, the light emission of the OLED can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage magnitudes of the reset voltage and the data voltage Vdata, so as to improve the screen display effect. This will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments and will not be elaborated here first.

[0116] Among them, the GOA circuit 22 may include M*N cascaded GOA units 220 (labeled NScan1). These M*N GOA units 220 can be connected to M enable signal lines, such as variable frequency enable (VFE) signal lines, to receive enable signals. One enable signal line is connected to N cascaded GOA units 220. Figure 1 In an example, M = 4, N = 8, a total of 32 Nscan1. Among them, the first to the eighth NScan1 are connected to the enable signal VFE1, the ninth to the sixteenth Nscan1 are connected to the enable signal VFE2, the seventeenth to the twenty-fourth Nscan1 are connected to the enable signal VFE3, and the twenty-fifth to the thirty-second Nscan1 are connected to the enable signal VFE4.

[0117] The M*N cascaded GOA units 220 may mean that the column start (startvertical, STV) signal input terminal of the (i + 1)-th GOA unit 220 is connected to the output terminal of the i-th GOA unit 220, that is, the STV signal input of the next GOA unit 220 is affected by the output of the previous GOA unit 220. i is a positive integer, and i ≤ M*N. The column start (STV) signal is also called the frame start signal. In particular,Figure 3 As shown, the STV signal input terminal of the first GOA unit 220 is connected to the STVN signal line, that is, the first row is triggered by the frame start signal STVN. The first GOA unit 220 specifically refers to the first GOA unit 220 among these M*N GOA units 220 that is connected to the first enable signal, such as the first GOA unit 220 connected to VFE1.

[0118] The output terminal of a GOA unit 220 can be connected to the input terminals 2 of P pixel units, and can be used to output the data holding signal S1 to P pixel units. Figure 1 In the example, P = 2.

[0119] Among them, the GOA circuit 23 can include M*N*P cascaded GOA units 230 (labeled as PScan1). The output terminal of a GOA unit 230 can be connected to the input terminal 1 of a pixel unit 210, and can be used to output the data writing control signal G1 to a pixel unit 210.

[0120] The M*N*P cascaded GOA units 230 can mean that the STV signal input terminal of the (j + 1)-th GOA unit 230 is connected to the output terminal of the j-th GOA unit 230, that is, the STV signal input of the next GOA unit 230 is affected by the output of the previous GOA unit 230. j is a positive integer, j ≤ M*N*P. In particular, as Figure 3 shown, the STV signal input terminal of the first GOA unit 230 is connected to the STVP signal line.

[0121] Figure 4 Briefly shown is the timing logic of the output signals and input signals of each component part of the display 10. Among them:

[0122] VFE signal: High level is valid. In the data refresh area, the VFE signal maintains a high level; in the data holding area, the VFE signal maintains a low level. When the VFE signal is valid when turned on, the data voltage Vdata can be written into the data pixel unit; when the VFE signal is invalid when turned off, the data voltage cannot be written into the data pixel unit. As Figure 4 shown, the VFE signals on the M enable signals appear successively. Among them, the high level duration (pulse width) of one VFE signal can be a*N line scan times, a is a positive integer, and the i-th VFE signal can be N line scan times later than the (i - 1)-th VFE signal. The value of N is equal to the number of stages of the GOA units 220 connected to one VFE signal line. H represents the line scan time, that is, the time to complete one row of scanning. Figure 4 The interval between two adjacent vertical dotted lines in represents 1H.

[0123] STVN signal: active high. After the VFE1 signal, the STVN signal arrives and can be input to the STV signal input terminal of the first GOA unit 220, triggering the first GOA unit 220 to output a data holding signal S1-1. As Figure 4 shown, the STVN signal has the same pulse width as the data holding signal S1 output by each GOA unit 220; the signal S1-1 is 1H later than the STVN signal. The S1-1 signal is the data holding signal output by the first GOA unit 220.

[0124] Data holding signal S1: Also known as the line scan signal. The data holding signals S1 output by each GOA unit 220 have the same pulse width. The data holding signal S1 output by the i-th GOA unit 220 is 1H or 2H earlier than the data holding signal S1 output by the (i + 1)-th GOA unit 220. Taking 1H as an example, as Figure 4 shown, S1-1, S1-2, S1-3, S1-4 respectively represent the S1 signals output by the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th GOA units 220. Among them, S1-1 is 1H earlier than S1-2, S1-2 is 1H earlier than S1-3, and S1-3 is 1H earlier than S1-4. Figure 4 Only the timing of S1-1 to S1-4 is shown in the figure, but the timing logic that S1-i is 1H or 2H earlier than S1-(i + 1) also exists in the subsequent circuit.

[0125] STVP signal: can be active high or active low. During the duration of the S1 signal, the STVP signal arrives and can be input to the STV signal input terminal of the first GOA unit 230, triggering the first GOA unit 230 to output a data write control signal G1-1. As Figure 4 shown, the STVP signal has the same pulse width as the data write control signal G1 output by each GOA unit 230; the signal G1-1 is later than the STVP signal by a second duration, such as 0.5H. The STVP signal and the data write control signal G1 have equal and relatively small pulse widths, such as 0.7H.

[0126] Data write control signal G1: The data write control signals G1 output by each GOA unit 230 have the same pulse width. The G1 signal output by the (i + 1)-th GOA unit 230 is also later than the data holding signal G1 output by the i-th GOA unit 230 by a second duration. As Figure 4 shown, G1-1, G1-2, G1-3, G1-4... G1-8 respectively represent the G1 signals output by the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th... 8th GOA units 230. G1-1, G1-2, G1-3, G1-4... G1-8 arrive in sequence, and the difference between adjacent two G1 signals is the second duration.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present application, increasing the number M of VFE signals can broaden the pulse width of the data holding signal S1. There is the following relationship between the pulse width Y of the VFE signal and the pulse width X of the signal S1: M*Y≥X+(M*N - 1)*Q, where M represents the number of VFE signals, N represents the number of GOA units 220 connected to one VFE signal, and Q represents that the data holding signal S1 output by the i-th GOA unit 220 is Q row scanning times earlier than the data holding signal S1 output by the (i + 1)-th GOA unit 220, and Q can take values such as 1, 2, etc. In this relational expression, M*Y represents the maximum pulse width that can be covered by M VFE signals together, and X+(M*N - 1)*Q represents the pulse width covered by the data holding signals S1 output by all levels of GOA units 220 on M VFE signals together.

[0128] Through the limitation of this relational expression, it can be ensured that the GOA units 220 connected to M VFE signal lines can all effectively output the S1 signal. And through this relational expression, the maximum pulse width X of the signal S1 can be determined. max = M*Y-(M*N - 1)*Q. It can be seen that the larger M is, the larger X max is, that is, increasing the number of VFE signals can broaden the pulse width of the S1 signal. In this limiting formula of X max , there is also an implicit condition: Y > Q*N, that is, the pulse width of the VFE signal is greater than the width of the coupling area of the S1 signal.

[0129] Embodiment 1

[0130] This embodiment provides a method for refreshing a display in partitions, which can be applied to the Figure 1 display 10 shown. This method can broaden the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 output by the GOA unit 220, avoid the data writing for pixel units being interfered by the glitch of the S1 signal, and thus avoid the occurrence of Figure 5 the screen horizontal stripes shown.

[0131] Currently, displays with the function of partition frequency conversion are prone to generate Figure 5 the screen horizontal stripes shown.

[0132] Through research, it is found that the data holding signals S1 output by each GOA unit 220 connected to the same VFE signal will interfere with each other. The rising edge of the S1 signal output by the subsequent GOA unit 220 will cause a glitch in the S1 signal output by the previous GOA unit 220, and the glitch will affect the data writing of the pixel unit, ultimately resulting in the generation of horizontal stripes.

[0133] Figure 6 shows the signal timing diagram when the display uses 2 VFE signal lines. As Figure 6As shown, when the S1-2 signal arrives, the rising edge of the S1-2 signal causes a glitch in the S1-1 signal at that moment. Similarly, when the S1-3 signal arrives, the rising edge of the S1-3 signal causes glitches in both the S1-1 and S1-2 signals at that moment. And so on. If there are 8 GOA units 220 connected to a VFE signal line, then the S1-1 signal will have 7 glitches, affecting 8 row scanning times; the S1-2 signal will have 6 glitches, affecting 7 row scanning times. And so on.

[0134] In this article, the time period affected by glitches during the duration of an S1 signal can be called the coupling area, and the time not affected by it can be called the non-coupling area. If the GOA unit 230 outputs the G1 signal in the coupling area, then the data writing for the pixel unit will be affected, thus generating horizontal stripes on the screen. As Figure 6 shown, the coupling area of S1-1 is relatively long, and the G1-1 and G1-2 signals appear in the coupling area, which will cause horizontal stripes to be generated; the coupling area of S1-2 is also relatively long, and the G1-3 and G1-4 appear in the coupling area, which will also cause horizontal stripes to be generated; however, the coupling area of S1-3 gradually becomes shorter, and the G1-5 and G1-6 do not appear in the coupling area, so horizontal stripes will not be generated; the coupling areas of subsequent S1 signals are shorter, and the G1 signals fall in the non-coupling area, so horizontal stripes will not be generated.

[0135] As Figure 7 shown, the method for partitioned refreshing of a display provided by an embodiment of the present application may include:

[0136] S11. At time h, control the initial GOA unit 220 to output the data holding signal S1.

[0137] In other words, at time h, control the GOA circuit 22 to start outputting the data holding signal S1. The initial GOA unit 220 is the first GOA unit 220 among the cascaded M*N GOA units 220, and it is triggered by the STVN signal to output the data holding signal S1.

[0138] Among these cascaded M*N GOA units 220, the i-th GOA unit 220 specifically starts to output the data holding signal S1 at time h+(i-1)*Q*H. i is a positive integer, i≤M*N. Q represents that the i-th first GOA unit outputs the data holding signal Q row scanning times earlier than the (i + 1)-th first GOA unit, and Q can take positive integer values such as 1, 2, etc. H represents a row scanning time, which is a concept of time length, such as a few microseconds.

[0139] For example, as Figure 8As shown, the first GOA unit 220 starts to output S1-1 at time h, the second GOA unit 220 starts to output S1-2 at time h+H, the third GOA unit 220 starts to output S1-3 at time h+2*H, and the fourth GOA unit 220 starts to output S1-4 at time h+3*H.

[0140] Moreover, the data holding signal S1 output by each GOA unit 220 can last for X line scan times. X is a positive integer and X > N. That is to say, the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 is at least greater than N line scan times to ensure that the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 output by each GOA unit 220 includes the non-coupling region. Because the longest coupling region of the data holding signal S1 is equal to N line scan times and exists during the duration of the signal S1 output by the first-stage GOA unit 220 on the VFE signal line.

[0141] For example, as Figure 8 shown, S1-1 represents the signal S1 output by the first-stage GOA unit 220 on the VFE signal line, and its coupling region is the longest coupling region. When 8 GOA units 220 are connected to one VFE signal line (i.e., N = 8), S1-1 has 7 glitches, and the longest coupling region is 8 line scan times affected before and after these 7 glitches.

[0142] In this embodiment, M > 2, such as M = 4, that is, more enable signal lines are introduced into the display 10. In this way, the enable signal can be provided to the cascaded GOA units 220 for a longer time, providing conditions for broadening the pulse width of the data holding signal S1 and creating a non-coupling region.

[0143] According to the calculation formula of the maximum value X max of X, the larger X is, the larger the non-coupling region is. If the G1 signal output by the GOA unit 230 falls within the non-coupling region, the data writing for the pixel unit will not be affected by the glitches of the signal S1, and no horizontal stripe problem will occur.

[0144] S12. At time k, control the initial GOA unit 230 to output a data writing control signal G1.

[0145] In other words, at time k, the GOA circuit 23 starts to output a data writing control signal G1. The initial GOA unit 230 is the first GOA unit 230 among the cascaded M*N*P GOA units 230, and it is triggered by the STVP signal to output a data writing control signal G1.

[0146] The moment k is later than the moment h + N*H, where N*H represents the length of the longest coupling region and H represents a line scanning time, such as a few microseconds. This setting enables the data write control signal G1 to appear after the coupling region of the data hold signal S1, so as to ensure that the data writing to the pixel unit is not affected by the glitch of S1 and there will be no horizontal streaks on the screen.

[0147] Moreover, the moment k is earlier than the moment h + X*H. As described above, X represents the duration of the data hold signal S1. This setting enables the data write control signal G1 to be generated before the end of the data hold signal S1, ensuring normal data writing.

[0148] As Figure 8 shown, among the cascaded M*N*P GOA units 230, the first GOA unit 230 starts to output the data write control signal G1-1 at the moment k, the second GOA unit 230 starts to output the data write control signal G1-2 at the moment k + q, and the third GOA unit 230 starts to output the data write control signal G1-3 at the moment k + 2*q. And so on, the j-th GOA unit 230 starts to output the data write control signal G1 at the moment k+(j - 1)*q. q represents the time delay of the data write control signal G1 output by the j-th GOA unit 230 relative to the data write control signal G1 output by the (j - 1)-th GOA unit 230, that is, the aforementioned second duration.

[0149] The duration of the data write control signal G1 is very short and the pulse width is narrow. Two adjacent GOA units 230 can successively complete the output of the G1 signal within the same line scanning time H, which can be referred to Figure 8 .

[0150] The method for partitioned refreshing of a display provided by the embodiments of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0151] At the moment h - Q*H, provide the STVN signal, that is, transmit the STV signal to the input end of the initial GOA unit 220 to trigger the initial GOA unit 220 to output the data hold signal S1 at the moment h. Q represents that the i-th first GOA unit outputs the data hold signal Q line scanning times earlier than the (i + 1)-th first GOA unit, and its value can be a positive integer such as 1, 2, etc.

[0152] At the moment k - q, provide the STVP signal, that is, transmit the STV signal to the input end of the initial GOA unit 230 to trigger the initial GOA unit 230 to output the data write control signal G1 at the moment k.

[0153] In addition, the method may further include: before time h - H, controlling the VFE signal line to start providing the VFE signal. The VFE signal on each VFE signal line lasts for Y line scan times (H). For example, as Figure 8 shown, controlling the first VFE signal line to start providing the VFE signal at time s, controlling the second VFE signal line to start providing the VFE signal at time s + N, controlling the third VFE signal line to start providing the VFE signal at time s + 2*N, and controlling the fourth VFE signal line to start providing the VFE signal at time s + 3*N. And so on, the wth VFE signal line starts providing the VFE signal at time s+(w - 1)*N. N represents the time delay of the ith VFE signal relative to the (i - 1)th VFE signal, and its value is equal to the number of stages of the GOA unit 220 connected to one VFE signal line.

[0154] The method for refreshing the display area provided by the embodiment of the present application can be executed by the DDIC connected to the display 10, or by a display system including the display 10 and the DDIC, or by an electronic device including the display 10 and the DDIC.

[0155] This embodiment also provides the following steps to avoid the falling edge of signal S1 being affected by the falling edge of the VFE signal: controlling the time when the VFE signal on the Mth VFE signal line switches from high level to low level to be equal to or later than a specific time, where the specific time is the time when the signal S1 output by the last GOA unit 220 connected to the VFE signal switches from high level to low level. In this way, the falling edge of the VFE signal will be later than the falling edge of the last-stage S1 signal on the VFE signal line, which can avoid the influence of the level drop of S1 by the VFE drop, thereby avoiding Figure 9 the screen dark line problem shown.

[0156] This requires that there is the following relationship between the pulse width Y of a single VFE signal and the pulse width X of the signal S1 output by a single GOA unit 220: Y≥X+(N - 1)*Q. Wherein, N represents the number of GOA units 220 connected to one VFE signal, and Q represents that the data holding signal S1 output by the ith GOA unit 220 is Q line scan times earlier than the data holding signal S1 output by the (i + 1)th GOA unit 220, and Q can take values such as 1, 2, etc. In this relational expression, X+(N - 1)*Q represents the pulse width covered by the data holding signals S1 output by all stages of GOA units 220 on one VFE signal together. Through the limitation of this relational expression, it can be ensured that the falling edge of a VFE signal is later than the falling edge of the S1 signal output by the last-stage GOA unit on the VFE signal line, and the screen dark line problem can be avoided.

[0157] The method steps provided in this embodiment can be combined with other embodiments. For example, when combined with Embodiment 2, more problems during variable frequency of display partitions can be comprehensively solved.

[0158] Embodiment 2

[0159] This embodiment provides a method for refreshing display partitions, which can be applied to Figure 1 the display 10 shown in the figure. By adjusting the reset voltage Vref of the pixel unit, the brightness difference between different screen partitions can be improved, and screen flicker can be avoided.

[0160] Figure 10 The figure shows the brightness difference problem of different screen partitions: the area with a lower refresh rate has a higher brightness than the area with a higher refresh rate. Among them, A, B, and C represent three screen partitions. The reason for the brightness difference problem is that: as Figure 11 shown in the figure, when the DDIC writes picture data to the display (write frame), the display brightness is low, and when the DDIC does not write picture data to the display (hold frame), the display brightness is high; at a low refresh rate, such as 1Hz, the hold frames are significantly more than the write frames; while at a high refresh rate, such as 120Hz, the write frames are significantly more than the hold frames. Therefore, the brightness of the low refresh rate area will be significantly higher than that of the high refresh rate area. Moreover, when switching from the hold frame to the write frame or from the write frame to the hold frame, the brightness difference will cause screen flicker.

[0161] This embodiment improves the brightness difference between different screen partitions through the following strategies, which are briefly summarized as follows:

[0162] Strategy 1: When writing data to the pixel unit, the Vref of the screen area with a low refresh rate biases the voltage with reference to the Vref of the screen area with a high refresh rate, so that the brightness of the low refresh rate area is adjusted to the brightness of the high refresh rate area, unifying the screen brightness and saving the power consumption of the display at the same time. The method can be referred to Figure 12 the method shown in the figure;

[0163] Strategy 2: For the screen area with a high refresh rate, the Vref of the hold frame biases the voltage with reference to the Vref of the write frame, so that the high brightness during the hold frame is adjusted to the low brightness during the write frame, and the screen brightness can be kept unchanged when switching between the hold frame and the write frame, avoiding the screen flicker problem. The method can be referred to Figure 14 the method shown in the figure;

[0164] Strategy 3: For the screen area with a low refresh rate, the Vref of the hold frame biases the voltage with reference to the Vref of the write frame, so that the high brightness during the hold frame is adjusted to the low brightness during the write frame, and the screen brightness can be kept unchanged when switching between the hold frame and the write frame, avoiding the screen flicker problem of the low refresh rate screen. The method can also be referred to Figure 14 the method shown in the figure.

[0165] Such asFigure 12 As shown, the method for refreshing the display partition provided in this embodiment may include:

[0166] S21. Determine the time for writing data to the pixel units in the first screen area, that is, the time range of the write frame.

[0167] Exemplarily, it is possible to determine when to start writing data according to the refresh rate, and the duration of the next write frame is known under the known refresh rate.

[0168] S22. When writing data to the pixel units in the first screen area, perform a first biasing process on the reset voltage Vref of the pixel units in the first screen area. The Vref after the first biasing process is the reset voltage corresponding to the first reference brightness at the first refresh rate during data writing. In this way, the brightness of the first screen area with a low refresh rate during data writing can be adjusted to the first reference brightness.

[0169] In the implementation of this application, the first reference brightness may be less than the brightness corresponding to the reset voltage Vref of the pixel units in the first screen area before the first biasing process at the first refresh rate, so as to reduce the brightness of the first screen area with a low refresh rate and save the power consumption of the display.

[0170] There are different corresponding relationships between the brightness during data writing and the reset voltage Vref at different refresh rates. Moreover, this corresponding relationship can also be measured and recorded in advance for adjusting the reset voltage during data writing to unify the screen brightness.

[0171] Figure 13 Shows the mapping relationship between the brightness and Vref1 at 1Hz and 120Hz during data writing. As Figure 13 shown, at these two refresh rates, during data writing, the larger the Vref1 (absolute value), the greater the brightness; generally, for the same Vref1, the brightness at 1Hz is higher than that at 120Hz. During data writing, at the same brightness, the Vref1 of the pixel units in the low refresh rate area is smaller than that of the pixel units in the high refresh rate area. For example, during data writing, to achieve a reference brightness of 8.0nits, the Vref1 at 120Hz is set to about 1.0V, while the Vref1 at 1Hz is set to about 0.5V. Figure 13 The various numerical values in [] are only for illustration to facilitate readers' understanding of the solution and should not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of this application.

[0172] Similarly, during data writing, there is also a mapping relationship between the brightness and the reset voltage Vref2 at different refresh rates.

[0173] Figure 13The corresponding relationship between the brightness and the reset voltage Vref at different refresh rates during data writing is schematically shown in a curve graph, where one curve is equivalent to a mapping table of the brightness and the reset voltage Vref. Without limitation, this corresponding relationship can also be recorded in a mapping table. The data representation form of this corresponding relationship is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0174] In the implementation of the present application, the first reference brightness can specifically be the brightness corresponding to the first reset voltage at the second refresh rate during data writing. The first reset voltage is the reset voltage of the pixel units in the second screen area when data is written to the second screen area at the second refresh rate, and it can be measured by the DDIC. The first refresh rate is lower than the second refresh rate. In this way, the brightness of the first screen area with a low refresh rate can be adjusted to the brightness of the second screen area with a high refresh rate, so as to unify the brightness of different refresh rate partitions and improve the brightness difference.

[0175] The second screen area can specifically be the screen area with the highest refresh rate, which is more conducive to saving the power consumption of the display.

[0176] The method for refreshing the display in partitions provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps: S23. Determine the refresh rates of each area of the screen; S24. Select the reset voltage of the pixel units in the second screen area as the first reset voltage; S25. In the first mapping table, find the brightness corresponding to the first reset voltage, and determine the found brightness as the first reference brightness; S26. In the second mapping table, find the reset voltage corresponding to the first reference brightness, and determine the found reset voltage as the reset voltage Vref after the first bias processing, which is used for the aforementioned step S22.

[0177] Among them, the first mapping table may record the brightness when the pixel units use different reset voltages Vref during data writing at the second refresh rate; the second mapping table may record the brightness when the pixel units use different reset voltages Vref during data writing at the first refresh rate.

[0178] The first reference brightness may not be the brightness of any screen partition, but only a default brightness, so that the brightness of each screen partition can be adjusted to this empirical brightness, thereby realizing the unification of the screen brightness.

[0179] As Figure 14 shown, the method for refreshing the display in partitions provided in this embodiment may include:

[0180] S31. Determine the time when data writing is not performed on the pixel units in the third screen area, that is, the time range of the hold frame. The refresh rate of the third screen area is the third refresh rate.

[0181] Exemplarily, it is possible to determine when data writing will not be performed according to the third refresh rate, and the duration of maintaining a frame at a known refresh rate is fixedly known.

[0182] S32. When data writing is not performed on the pixel units in the third screen area, a second biasing process is performed on the reset voltage Vref of the pixel units in the third screen area, and the Vref after the second biasing process is the reset voltage corresponding to the second reference brightness during data holding at the third refresh rate.

[0183] Among them, the second reference brightness may be the brightness corresponding to the second reset voltage during data writing at the third refresh rate. The second reset voltage is the reset voltage when data is written to the third screen area at the third refresh rate and can be measured by the DDIC. In this way, the brightness of the third screen area during data holding can be adjusted to the brightness of the third screen area during data writing, so that the brightness of the third screen area does not jump during the switching between data holding and data writing, avoiding screen flickering.

[0184] Figure 15 A curve graph schematically shows the corresponding relationship between the brightness and the reset voltage Vref at different refresh rates during data holding. One of the curves is equivalent to a mapping table of the brightness and the reset voltage Vref. This corresponding relationship can be measured and recorded in advance for adjusting the reset voltage during data holding. Based on this corresponding relationship, the brightness value corresponding to a certain reset voltage at a specific refresh rate during data writing can be determined, and the reset voltage corresponding to a certain brightness at a specific refresh rate during data writing can also be determined.

[0185] The method for display area refreshing provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps: S33. Determine the time for performing data writing on the third screen area; S34. Take the reset voltage when data is written to the third screen area at the third refresh rate as the second reset voltage; S35. In the third mapping table, find the brightness corresponding to the second reset voltage, and determine the found brightness as the second reference brightness; S36. In the fourth mapping table, find the reset voltage corresponding to the second reference brightness, and determine the found reset voltage as the reset voltage Vref after the second biasing process for the foregoing step S32.

[0186] Among them, the third mapping table may record the brightness when different reset voltages Vref are used for the pixel units during data writing at the third refresh rate; the fourth mapping table may record the brightness when different reset voltages Vref are used for the pixel units during data holding at the third refresh rate.

[0187] The third screen area may be a screen area with a low refresh rate, such as the aforementioned first screen area; at this time, the third refresh rate is a low refresh rate, which may be the same as the aforementioned first refresh rate, and the third mapping table may be the same as the aforementioned second mapping table. The third screen area may also be a screen area with a high refresh rate, such as the aforementioned second screen area; at this time, the third refresh rate is a high refresh rate, which may be the same as the aforementioned second refresh rate, and the fourth mapping table may be the same as the aforementioned first mapping table.

[0188] When the third screen area is a screen area with a low refresh rate, the second reset voltage may further be the reset voltage after the first biasing process in step S22. That is, for the screen area with a low refresh rate, the reset voltage can be biased once (i.e., the first biasing process) with reference to the first reference brightness (such as the brightness of the screen area with a high refresh rate) during data writing to solve the problem of different brightness between the low refresh rate area and the high refresh rate area during data writing and save power consumption; then, during data holding, the reset voltage is biased again (i.e., the first biasing process) with reference to the second reference brightness (such as the brightness during data writing) to solve the problem of different brightness between data holding and data writing and save power consumption.

[0189] The above steps S31 - step S32 can be combined into Figure 12 the method shown to take into account the solution of the brightness difference problem of each screen partition and the screen flicker problem.

[0190] In the embodiments of the present application, biasing the reset voltage means adjusting the magnitude of the reset voltage to adjust to the target voltage that can achieve the reference brightness, such as the reset voltage corresponding to the first reference brightness at the first refresh rate during data writing mentioned in the above step S22, and the reset voltage corresponding to the second reference brightness at the first refresh rate during data holding mentioned in the above step S22. The reset voltage may include one or more of the aforementioned Vref1 and Vref2, and is not limited thereto. It may also include other reset voltages, specifically depending on the circuit structure of the pixel unit.

[0191] Figure 16 Exemplarily shows the biasing amount of the reset voltage used to achieve the same brightness in different refresh rate areas during data writing and data holding. As Figure 16 shown, during data writing, to achieve the same brightness, the biasing amount of Vref1 in the low refresh rate area relative to Vref1 in the high refresh rate area is △V11; in the same high refresh rate area, to keep the brightness from jumping, the biasing amount of Vref1 during data holding relative to Vref1 during data writing is △V12; in the same low refresh rate area, to keep the brightness from jumping, the biasing amount of Vref1 during data holding relative to Vref1 during data writing is △V13. As Figure 16As shown, △V13 is determined based on Vref1 after the first bias processing (with △V11 added) during data writing, so as to take into account and solve the problem of brightness difference between the low-refresh-rate area and the high-refresh-rate area during data writing, as well as the problem of brightness jump in the low-refresh-rate area during data retention and data writing. Figure 16 The bias processing of Vref2 is also shown in [reference], which can refer to Vref1 and will not be elaborated here. Figure 16 It is only used to explain the embodiments of the present application. The number of screen partitions, the number of reset voltages, the magnitude of the bias amount, the bias direction, etc. shown therein do not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the bias amount can take values between -10V and +10V.

[0192] In the embodiments of the present application, for the pixel units in the entire screen area, the number of times of bias processing (including the first bias processing and the second bias processing) of the reset voltage per unit time depends on the number of screen partitions, the number of reset voltages, and the number of holding frames.

[0193] The method for refreshing the display area provided in this embodiment can be executed by a display system including the display 10 and the DDIC, or by an electronic device including the display 10 and the DDIC.

[0194] Embodiment 3

[0195] This embodiment provides a method for refreshing the display area, which can be applied to Figure 1 the shown display 10. By adjusting the data voltage Vdata of the pixel unit, the brightness difference between the high-refresh-rate area and the low-refresh-rate area under the same gray level can be improved.

[0196] The brightness of pixel units of the same gray level in different refresh-rate areas may not be consistent, which will result in inconsistent presentation effects of the same gray level in different screen areas. For example, pixel unit a in the high-refresh-rate area and pixel unit b in the low-refresh-rate area are to present the same gray level, but the actual brightness values of a and b are inconsistent, which affects the overall expression of the picture gray scale.

[0197] This embodiment improves the brightness difference of the same gray level in different refresh-rate areas through the following strategies, which are briefly summarized as follows: for the same gray level, the Vdata of the low-refresh-rate screen area refers to the Vdata of the high-refresh-rate screen area to perform voltage bias, so that the performance of the same gray level in the low-refresh-rate area and the high-refresh-rate area is consistent, and at the same time, the power consumption of the display can be reduced. Reference can be made to Figure 17 the shown method.

[0198] As Figure 17 shown, the method for refreshing the display area provided in this embodiment may include:

[0199] S41. Determine the gray level of the pixel units in the first screen area.

[0200] Exemplarily, the gray levels of the pixel units in each screen area can be determined according to the gray scale information of the screen to be refreshed. The gray level of a pixel is the gray scale value of the pixel, which represents the brightness presented by the pixel in the screen. This step can be executed by the DDIC or by the SOC and then the result is transmitted to the DDIC.

[0201] S42. When performing data writing to the first pixel unit in the first screen area, perform a third biasing process on the data voltage Vdata of the first pixel unit. The Vdata after the third biasing process is the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the third reference brightness at the first refresh rate during data writing. The first pixel unit is the pixel unit with the first gray level in the first screen area.

[0202] Among them, the third reference brightness is the brightness corresponding to the first Vdata at the second refresh rate. The first Vdata is the Vdata when data is written to the second pixel unit at the second refresh rate, and it can be measured by the DDIC. The second pixel unit is the pixel unit with the first gray level in the second screen area. The refresh rate of the second screen area is the second refresh rate, and the second refresh rate is greater than the first refresh rate. In this way, during data writing, the brightness of a gray level in the low refresh rate area can be adjusted to the brightness of the gray level in the high refresh rate area, so that the performance of the same gray level in the low refresh rate area and the high refresh rate area is consistent, and at the same time, the power consumption of the display can be reduced.

[0203] Figure 18 A curve graph schematically shows the corresponding relationship between the brightness and the data voltage Vdata at different refresh rates during data writing. One of the curves is equivalent to a mapping table of the brightness and the data voltage Vdata. This corresponding relationship can be measured and recorded in advance for adjusting the data voltage Vdata. Based on this corresponding relationship, the brightness value corresponding to a certain data voltage Vdata at a specific refresh rate can be determined, and the data voltage Vdata corresponding to a certain brightness at a specific refresh rate can also be determined.

[0204] The method for area refresh of the display provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps: S43. Determine the refresh rates of each area of the screen; S44. Select the pixel unit with the first gray level (i.e., the aforementioned second pixel unit) from the second screen area, and use the Vdata of this pixel unit as the first Vdata; S45. In the fifth mapping table, find the brightness corresponding to the first Vdata, and determine the found brightness as the third reference brightness;

[0205] S46. In the sixth mapping table, find the Vdata corresponding to the third reference brightness, and determine the found Vdata as the Vdata after the third offset processing for use in the aforementioned step S42.

[0206] Among them, the fifth mapping table can record the brightness when different Vdatas are adopted by pixel units during data writing at the second refresh rate; the sixth mapping table can record the brightness when different Vdatas are adopted by pixel units during data writing at the first refresh rate.

[0207] In the embodiments of the present application, performing offset processing on the data voltage Vdata means adjusting the magnitude of the data voltage Vdata to an objective voltage capable of achieving the reference brightness, such as the Vdata corresponding to the third reference brightness during data writing at the first refresh rate mentioned in the above step S42.

[0208] Figure 19 Exemplarily shows the offset amounts of Vdatas adopted by pixel units achieving the same gray level in different refresh rate regions. For example Figure 19 As shown, to achieve gray level 1, the offset amount of Vdata in the low refresh rate region relative to Vdata in the high refresh rate region is △V1; to achieve gray level 2, the offset amount of Vdata in the low refresh rate region relative to Vdata in the high refresh rate region is △V2; to achieve gray level 3, the offset amount of Vdata in the low refresh rate region relative to Vdata in the high refresh rate region is △V3; to achieve gray level 4, the offset amount of Vdata in the low refresh rate region relative to Vdata in the high refresh rate region is △V4. Figure 19 It is only used to explain the embodiments of the present application, and the number of screen partitions, the number of gray levels, the magnitude of the offset amount, the offset direction, etc. shown therein do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the offset amount of the data voltage can take values between -10V and +10V.

[0209] In the embodiments of the present application, for the pixel units in the entire screen area, the number of times of performing offset processing on Vdata per unit time depends on the number of screen partitions and the number of gray levels.

[0210] The method for refreshing the display partition provided in this embodiment can be executed by a display system including the display 10 and the DDIC, or by an electronic device including the display 10 and the DDIC.

[0211] Embodiment 4

[0212] This embodiment provides a method for refreshing the display partition, which can be applied to Figure 1 the display 10 shown, and the screen flicker can be improved by adjusting the data voltage Vdata of the pixel unit.

[0213] In this embodiment, the following strategies are adopted to improve screen flickering, which are briefly summarized as follows:

[0214] Strategy 1: For the screen area with high refresh rate, keep the Vdata reference of the hold frame biased to the Vdata execution voltage of the write frame, so that the high brightness during the hold frame is adjusted to the low brightness during the write frame. This can keep the screen brightness from jumping when switching between the hold frame and the write frame, avoiding the screen flickering problem. Refer to the method shown in Figure 20 the figure;

[0215] Strategy 2: For the screen area with low refresh rate, keep the Vdata reference of the hold frame biased to the Vdata execution voltage of the write frame, so that the high brightness during the hold frame is adjusted to the low brightness during the write frame. This can keep the screen brightness from jumping when switching between the hold frame and the write frame, avoiding the screen flickering problem. Refer to the method shown in Figure 20 the figure.

[0216] As shown in Figure 20 the figure, the method for partitioned refreshing of the display provided in this embodiment may include:

[0217] S51. Determine the time when data writing is not performed on the pixel units in the fourth screen area, that is, the time range of the hold frame. The refresh rate of the fourth screen area is the fourth refresh rate.

[0218] Exemplarily, it is possible to determine when data writing will not be performed according to the fourth refresh rate, and the duration of the next hold frame is known under the known refresh rate.

[0219] S52. When data writing is not performed on the pixel units in the fourth screen area, perform a fourth biasing process on the data voltage Vdata of the third pixel units in the fourth screen area. The Vdata after the fourth biasing process is the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the fourth reference brightness during data holding at the fourth refresh rate.

[0220] Among them, the fourth reference brightness may be the brightness corresponding to the second Vdata when data writing is performed on the fourth screen area at the fourth refresh rate. The second Vdata is the Vdata when the third pixel units are written with data at the fourth refresh rate and can be measured by the DDIC. In this way, the brightness of the third pixel units during data holding can be adjusted to the brightness of the third pixel units during data writing, and the brightness of the third pixel units can be kept from jumping when switching between data holding and data writing, avoiding screen flickering.

[0221] The gray levels of different pixel units in the fourth screen area may be different, and the Vdata of different pixel units will also be different. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the Vdata during data holding is specifically biased with respect to the Vdata during data writing in units of pixel units.

[0222] Figure 21 The corresponding relationship between the luminance and the data voltage Vdata at different refresh rates during data retention is schematically shown in a curve graph. One of the curves is equivalent to a mapping table of the luminance and the data voltage Vdata. This corresponding relationship can be measured and recorded in advance for use in adjusting the data voltage during data retention. Based on this corresponding relationship, the luminance value corresponding to a certain data voltage at a specific refresh rate during data retention can be determined, and the data voltage corresponding to a certain luminance at a specific refresh rate during data retention can also be determined.

[0223] The method for partitioning and refreshing the display provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps: S53. Determine the time when data writing is not performed on the fourth screen area; S54. Use the data voltage when data is written to the fourth screen area at the fourth refresh rate as the second Vdata; S55. In the seventh mapping table, find the luminance corresponding to the second Vdata, and determine the found luminance as the fourth reference luminance; S56. In the eighth mapping table, find the data voltage corresponding to the fourth reference luminance, and determine the found data voltage as the data voltage Vref after the fourth bias processing for the foregoing step S52.

[0224] Among them, the seventh mapping table may record the luminance when different data voltages Vdata are adopted by pixel units during data writing at the fourth refresh rate; the eighth mapping table may record the luminance when different data voltages Vdata are adopted by pixel units during data retention at the fourth refresh rate.

[0225] The fourth screen area may be a screen area with a low refresh rate, such as the foregoing first screen area; at this time, the fourth refresh rate is a low refresh rate, which may be the same as the foregoing first refresh rate, and the seventh mapping table may be the same as the foregoing sixth mapping table. The fourth screen area may also be a screen area with a high refresh rate, such as the foregoing second screen area; at this time, the fourth refresh rate is a high refresh rate, which may be the same as the foregoing second refresh rate, and the eighth mapping table may be the same as the foregoing fifth mapping table.

[0226] When the fourth screen area is a screen area with a low refresh rate, the second Vdata may further be the data voltage after the third bias processing in step S42. That is, for a screen area with a low refresh rate, the data voltage can be biased once (i.e., the third bias processing) with reference to the third reference luminance (such as the luminance of a screen area with a high refresh rate) during data writing to solve the problem of different luminances between the low-refresh-rate area and the high-refresh-rate area during data writing and save power; then, the data voltage can be biased again (i.e., the fourth bias processing) with reference to the fourth reference luminance (such as the luminance during data writing) during data retention to solve the problem of different luminances between data retention and data writing and save power.

[0227] The above steps S51 - S52 can be incorporated into Figure 17 the method shown, taking into account the brightness difference problem of each screen partition and the solution to the screen flicker problem.

[0228] Figure 22 Exemplarily shown is the bias amount of the data voltage Vdata used to achieve the same brightness in different refresh rate regions during data writing and data holding. As Figure 22 shown, in the same high refresh rate region, to keep the brightness from jumping, the bias amount of Vdata during data holding relative to Vdata during data writing is △V1. Figure 21 In, during data writing, the Vdata in the low refresh rate region can be the data voltage after the third bias processing in step S42. Figure 22 It is also shown in that, during data holding, the bias amount of Vdata in the low refresh rate region relative to Vdata in the high refresh rate region is △V2 to unify the brightness of the screen regions with different refresh rates during data holding. During data writing, Vdata reflects the gray scale difference; during data holding, Vdata does not reflect the gray scale difference. △V1 can be the difference between Vdata during data holding and the highest Vdata during data writing (such as the Vdata of 0 gray scale pixels). Figure 22 It is only used to explain the embodiments of the present application. The number of screen partitions, the number of gray scales, the size of the bias amount, the bias direction, etc. shown therein do not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, the bias amount of the data voltage can take values between - 10V and + 10V.

[0229] In the embodiments of the present application, for the pixel units in the entire screen region, the number of times of bias processing of Vdata per unit time depends on the number of screen partitions, the number of gray scales, and the number of holding frames.

[0230] The above - mentioned method embodiments can be combined with each other to comprehensively solve more problems generated during the variable frequency of the display partitions.

[0231] Based on the method for refreshing display partitions provided in the above embodiments, the display system and electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced below.

By controlling the brightness and color, the image information can be presented on the display 61. The control circuit 62 may also include a circuit part for timing control, such as a time controller (TCON). The timing controller can set the timing of the control signal and the data signal, and transmit the control signal and the data signal to the display driver circuit according to the timing. The control signal may be, for example, the VFE signal, the STVP signal, and the STVN signal mentioned in the foregoing method embodiments. Once the timing of the STVP signal and the STVN signal is determined, the timing of the S1 signal output by the GOA unit 220 and the G1 signal output by the GOA unit 230 is also determined.

[0235] A storage unit may also be provided in the control circuit 62 to store the code instructions of the method for refreshing the display partition provided in the embodiments of the present application. When the code instructions are read from the storage unit and run, the display system 60 can execute the method.
