Description
Source driving circuit and driving method thereof, display panel, and display device Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a source driving circuit and a driving method thereof, a display panel, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] As the resolution of display panels increases, the required display data also increases accordingly, and the source driver chip becomes increasingly complex. For liquid crystal display panels, since the polarity of the liquid crystal needs to be reversed, the voltage resistance performance of the components in the source driver chip needs to meet the requirements to prevent the voltage change caused by polarity reversal from exceeding the upper voltage limit of the components. High-voltage components have a higher upper voltage resistance limit, but they are usually larger in size. For high-resolution display panels, the use of high-voltage components will result in a larger source driver chip, which is not conducive to achieving narrow-frame display.

[0082] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. And in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0083] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0084] It should be noted that the sizes and shapes of the figures in the accompanying drawings do not reflect the actual scale and are only for the purpose of illustrating the present disclosure. The same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.
[0085] It should be noted that for liquid crystal displays, the polarity of the liquid crystal needs to be reversed. Specifically, the source driver chip needs to switch the voltage polarity. For frame inversion, within a frame, the positive polarity voltage output range is 0 volts (V) to AVDD V, and the negative polarity voltage output range is -AVDD V to 0V, where AVDD is the maximum data voltage. Typically, the withstand voltage variation of high-voltage devices is 32V, the withstand voltage variation of medium-voltage devices is 6 or 8V, and the withstand voltage variation of low-voltage devices is 1.2V. When AVDD is 6V, the maximum variation of voltage polarity switching is 12V. This maximum variation is within the withstand voltage variation of high-voltage devices, so using source driver chips with high-voltage devices will not cause withstand voltage issues. However, high-voltage devices are larger, occupying approximately five times the area of medium-voltage devices. For high-resolution display panels, using high-voltage devices will result in a larger source driver chip, which is not conducive to achieving narrow-frame displays. If a medium-voltage device is selected to reduce device size without changing AVDD, there is a risk of device damage because the maximum voltage variation exceeds the withstand voltage variation of the medium-voltage device.
[0086] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a source driving circuit, as shown in FIG1 , the source driving circuit includes: a plurality of driving units 1;
[0087] The driving unit 1 includes: n voltage conversion circuits 101; wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1;
[0088] Each voltage conversion circuit 101 includes: a first switching circuit 1011 and a second switching circuit 1012; the control end of the first switching circuit 1011 and the control end of the second switching circuit 1012 are used to input a control signal B, and the control signal includes a first control signal B1 (not shown) and a second control signal B2 (not shown); the second switching circuit 1012 is turned off in response to the first control signal B1, and the first switching circuit 1011 is turned on in response to the first control signal B1 and sequentially outputs a first voltage signal V1 and a first fixed voltage signal Vc1; the first switching circuit 1011 is turned off in response to the second control signal B2, and the second switching circuit 1012 is turned on in response to the second control signal B2 and sequentially outputs a second voltage signal V2 and a first fixed voltage signal Vc1; the polarity of the first voltage signal V1 is opposite to that of the second voltage signal V2.
[0089] It should be noted that FIG1 only shows one voltage conversion circuit 101 .
[0090] It should be noted that the source driver circuit provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to a liquid crystal display. As shown in FIG1 , the output end of the voltage conversion circuit 101 is electrically connected to the data line dt of the liquid crystal display panel. Thus, the source driver circuit is used to provide data signals to the data lines and implement voltage polarity switching of the data signals. For example, for a voltage conversion circuit 101, if the first voltage signal V1 is required to be written to the data line dt in the i-th frame, the polarity needs to be switched, that is, the second voltage signal V2 is required to be written to the data line dt in the i+1th frame. In the i-th frame, the second switch circuit 1012 of the control voltage conversion circuit 101 is turned off and the first switch circuit 1011 is turned on. The first switch circuit 1011 first outputs the first voltage signal V1 and then outputs the first fixed voltage signal Vc1, i.e., charge sharing is performed to pull the output voltage of the voltage conversion circuit from the first voltage signal V1 to the first fixed voltage signal Vc1. Then, in the (i+1) frame, the first switch circuit 1011 of the control voltage conversion circuit 101 is turned off and the second switch circuit 1012 is turned on. The second switch circuit 1012 first outputs the second voltage signal V2 and then outputs the first fixed voltage signal Vc1, i.e., charge sharing is performed to pull the output voltage of the voltage conversion circuit from the second voltage signal V2 to the first fixed voltage signal Vc1. That is, using the source driver circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the output voltage needs to be pulled to the first fixed voltage signal Vc1 before the next frame of data is written. If charge sharing is not performed and the first voltage signal V1 is directly converted into the second voltage signal V2, the voltage change is |V1-V2|. However, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the output voltage is pulled to the first fixed voltage signal Vc1. The voltage change of the voltage conversion is |V1-Vc1| or |V2-Vc1|, both of which are smaller than |V1-V2|.
[0091] The source driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize the conversion of a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal of opposite polarity by using a driving unit including a voltage conversion circuit. In addition, before the conversion of the voltage signals of opposite polarity, charge sharing is required to pull the output voltage to the first fixed voltage signal, which can reduce the voltage change of the voltage signal polarity conversion while realizing the voltage signal polarity conversion, avoid the voltage change exceeding the withstand voltage change of the voltage conversion circuit, and thus avoid damage to the voltage conversion circuit. It is conducive to reducing the size of the first switching circuit and the second switching circuit included in the voltage conversion circuit. Compared with the prior art that uses high-voltage devices to realize voltage conversion, the size of the driving unit of the source driving circuit disclosed in the present disclosure is greatly reduced. When the source driving circuit is applied to high-resolution display products, even if the required number of driving units is large, narrow-border display can still be achieved due to the greatly reduced size of the driving unit.
[0092] In a specific implementation, the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit of the voltage conversion circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may use medium voltage devices, wherein the withstand voltage variation of the medium voltage devices is 6V to 8V.
[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2 , the voltage conversion circuit 101 further includes: a control circuit 1013 ;
[0094] An output terminal of the control circuit 1013 is electrically connected to a control terminal of the first switch circuit 1011 and a control terminal of the second switch circuit 1012;
[0095] The control circuit 1013 is configured to output a control signal B.
[0096] In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG2 , the control circuit 1013 outputs the same control signal B to the control terminal of the first switch circuit 1011 and the control terminal of the second switch circuit 1012. That is, under the control of the same control signal B, only one of the first switch circuit 1011 and the second switch circuit 1012 is turned on while the other is turned off. Specifically, when the control circuit 1013 outputs the first control signal B1, the first switch circuit 1011 is turned on while the second switch circuit 1012 is turned off. When the control circuit 1013 outputs the second control signal B2, the first switch circuit 1011 is turned off while the second switch circuit 1012 is turned on.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 and FIG4 , the control circuit 1013 includes a first inverter 10131 ;
[0098] The input terminal of the first inverter 10131 is used to input the second fixed voltage signal Vc2;
[0099] The first power signal input terminal of the first inverter 10131 is used to input the first power signal Vp1, and the second power signal input terminal of the first inverter 10131 is used to input the second power signal Vp2;
[0100] An output terminal of the first inverter 10131 is electrically connected to a control terminal of the first switch circuit 1011 and / or a control terminal of the second switch circuit 1012 for outputting a control signal.
[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the control circuit 1013 includes only a first inverter 10131 , the output of which is electrically connected to the control terminal of the first switch circuit 1011 and the control terminal of the second switch circuit 1012 , thereby saving wiring space and cost.
[0102] Of course, in a specific implementation, if there is sufficient wiring space, it can also be as shown in Figure 4, where the control circuit 1013 includes two first inverters 10131 electrically connected to the control end of the first switch circuit 1011 and the control end of the second switch circuit 1012, respectively. The reference numerals of the two first inverters 10131 are 10131-1 and 10131-2, respectively. The output end of the first inverter 10131-1 is electrically connected to the control end of the first switch circuit 1011, and the output end of the first inverter 10131-2 is electrically connected to the control end of the second switch circuit 1012. When the control circuit 1013 includes two first inverters 10131, the second fixed voltage signals Vc2 input to the input terminals of the two first inverters 10131 are the same, the first power supply signals Vp1 input to the first power supply signal input terminals of the two first inverters 10131 are the same, the second power supply signals Vp2 input to the second power supply signal input terminals of the two first inverters 10131 are the same, and the control signals output from the output terminals of the first inverters 10131 are the same.
[0103] In some embodiments, the voltage of the second constant voltage signal Vc2 is 0V.
[0104] In some embodiments, the voltage of the first voltage signal V1 is greater than or equal to 0V and less than or equal to a V, and the voltage of the second voltage signal V2 is less than or equal to 0V and greater than or equal to -a V; a is a positive number.
[0105] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present disclosure considers the first voltage signal V1 to be a positive voltage and the second voltage signal V2 to be a negative voltage. That is, during the data writing phase, the first switch circuit is used to output a positive voltage and the second switch circuit is used to output a negative voltage.
[0106] In a specific implementation, a is, for example, the maximum absolute value of the gamma voltage of the liquid crystal display device. The voltage conversion circuit, the first switch circuit, and the second switch circuit in the voltage conversion circuit have a withstand voltage variation greater than or equal to a V.
[0107] In some embodiments, the voltage of one of the first power signal Vp1 and the second power signal Vp2 is 0V, and the voltage of the other of the first power signal Vp1 and the second power signal Vp2 is b V; or, the voltage of one of the first power signal Vp1 and the second power signal Vp2 is 0V, and the voltage of the other of the first power signal Vp1 and the second power signal Vp2 is -b V; b is a positive number less than or equal to a.
[0108] In some embodiments, the voltage of the first power signal Vp1 is greater than the voltage of the second power signal Vp2. That is, the voltage of the first power signal Vp1 is bV and the voltage of the second power signal Vp2 is 0V; or, the voltage of the first power signal Vp1 is 0V and the voltage of the second power signal Vp2 is -bV.
[0109] In some embodiments, b=a.
[0110] In some embodiments, the voltage of the first power signal Vp1 is bV, the voltage of the second power signal Vp2 is 0V, and the control signal B outputted from the output terminal of the first inverter is the first control signal B1. When b=a, the voltage value of the first control signal B1 is b=a. When the voltage of the first power signal Vp1 is 0V and the voltage of the second power signal Vp2 is -bV, the control signal B outputted from the output terminal of the first inverter is the second control signal B2. When b=a, the voltage value of the second control signal B2 is -b=-a. That is, the first control signal B1 is a high voltage signal and the second control signal B2 is a low voltage signal. Under the control of the high voltage signal, the first switch circuit is turned on and the second switch circuit is turned off.

[0124] In some embodiments, the third switch circuit, the fourth switch circuit, the fifth switch circuit, and the sixth switch circuit each include a transmission gate switch.
[0125] In some embodiments, the transmission gate switches included in the third switch circuit, the fifth switch circuit, the fourth switch circuit, and the sixth switch circuit are NMOS transistors or PMOS transistors.
[0126] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the transmission gate switch is a CMOS tube transmission gate. As shown in FIG8 , the third switch circuit 1021, the fourth switch circuit 1022, the fifth switch circuit 1023, and the sixth switch circuit 1024 each include: a third inverter 3, an NMOS tube, and a PMOS tube; the input end of the PMOS tube is electrically connected to the input end of the NMOS tube, and the output end of the PMOS tube is electrically connected to the output end of the NMOS tube. In the CMOS tube transmission gate shown in FIG8 , the input end of the third inverter 3 is electrically connected to the control stage of the NMOS tube, and the output end of the third inverter 3 is electrically connected to the control stage of the PMOS tube. The control signal input to the control end of the first CMOS tube transmission gate is SW. When SW is high, both the NMOS tube and the PMOS tube are turned on.
[0127] In some embodiments, the input end of the P-type transistor (PMOS) and the input end of the N-type transistor (NMOS) included in the third switch circuit are used to input the first voltage signal, and the output end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the third switch circuit are electrically connected to the input end of the first switch circuit;
[0128] The input end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the fourth switch circuit are used to input the second voltage signal, and the output end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the fourth switch circuit are electrically connected to the input end of the second switch circuit;
[0129] The input end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the fifth switch circuit are used to input the first fixed voltage signal, and the output end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the fifth switch circuit are electrically connected to the input end of the first switch circuit;
[0130] The input end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the sixth switch circuit are used to input the first fixed voltage signal, and the output end of the P-type transistor and the input end of the N-type transistor included in the sixth switch circuit are electrically connected to the input end of the second switch circuit.
[0131] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the substrate of the NMOS transistor is electrically connected to the third power signal terminal, the substrate of the PMOS transistor is electrically connected to the fourth power signal terminal, the signal at the third power signal terminal is a third power signal Vp3, and the signal at the fourth power signal terminal is a fourth power signal Vp4. The voltage of the third power signal Vp3 is greater than the voltage of the fourth power signal Vp4.
[0132] In a specific implementation, the input end of the third switching circuit inputs a first voltage signal, that is, a positive polarity voltage signal, that is, the voltage input to the input end of the third switching circuit is greater than or equal to 0V and less than or equal to aV; and the input end of the fourth switching circuit inputs a second voltage signal, that is, a negative polarity voltage signal, that is, the voltage input to the input end of the fourth switching circuit is greater than or equal to -aV and less than or equal to 0V.

[0134] In a specific implementation, the voltage variation of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switch circuits will not exceed aV. Therefore, the withstand voltage variation of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switch circuits in the switch group provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is greater than or equal to aV. If a is 6V, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switch circuits can also be configured using medium-voltage devices. This helps reduce the size of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switch circuits included in the voltage conversion circuit, thereby helping to reduce the size of the source driver circuit and facilitate the realization of a narrow-frame display.
[0135] In some embodiments, n = 1. It should be noted that for a liquid crystal display panel, if the voltage polarity of the data signals written to all data lines is the same in each frame, each driving unit only needs to be provided with one voltage conversion circuit, and accordingly, the switch group includes one third switch circuit, one fourth switch circuit, one fifth switch circuit, and one sixth switch circuit.
[0136] In a specific implementation, a voltage polarity conversion can be performed once every j frames, where j is an integer greater than or equal to 1. If j is equal to 1, the voltage polarity of the odd-numbered frames is opposite to the voltage polarity of the even-numbered frames. If j is greater than 1, a group of j consecutive frames is considered, and the voltage polarity of each frame in the odd group is opposite to the voltage polarity of each frame in the even group. For example, if j = 2, the voltage polarity of some frames may be "positive, positive, negative, negative, positive, positive."
[0137] Next, taking the voltage polarity of the i-th frame as positive and the voltage polarity of the i+th frame as negative as an example, the working process of the source driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described.
[0138] It should be noted that the structure of the voltage conversion circuit is shown in Figure 6, and the structures of the third, fifth, fourth, and sixth switch circuits are shown in Figure 8. A timing diagram of the voltage conversion circuit and the switch group control signals is shown in Figure 9, where SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4 are the control signals SW at the control terminals of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth switch circuits, respectively.
[0139] In the i-th frame, in the data writing phase t1, the control signal SW1 is 6V, the control signal SW3 is 0V, and the control signals SW2 and SW4 are -6V; Vp1 is 6V, Vp2 is 0V, and the control signals at the control ends of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit are the first control signal B1, and B1 is 6V; the first switch circuit and the third switch circuit are turned on, and the second switch circuit, the fourth switch circuit, the fifth switch circuit, and the sixth switch circuit are turned off, and the first voltage signal V1 is transmitted to the first switch circuit through the third switch circuit and output. In the i-th frame, charge sharing is completed before the first moment a1 of the blanking phase t2. During the blanking phase t2, control signal SW1 is 0V, control signal SW3 is 6V, and control signals SW2 and SW4 are -6V. Before the first moment a1 of the blanking phase t2, Vp1 is 6V and Vp2 is 0V. The first and fifth switch circuits are on, while the second, third, fourth, and sixth switch circuits are off. The first fixed voltage signal Vc1 is transmitted to the first switch circuit via the fifth switch circuit and output. In the i-th frame, during the blanking phase t2, at the first moment a1, Vp1 drops to 0V. At the second moment a2 after the first moment a1, Vp2 drops to -6V.
[0140] In the i+1 frame, in the data writing phase t1, the control signals SW1, SW2, and SW3 are 0V, and the control signal SW4 is -6V; Vp1 is 0V, Vp2 is -6V, and the control signals at the control ends of the first switch circuit and the second switch circuit are the second control signal B2, and B2 is -6V; the second switch circuit and the fourth switch circuit are turned on, and the first switch circuit, the third switch circuit, and the sixth switch circuit are turned off, and the second voltage signal V2 is transmitted to the second switch circuit through the fourth switch circuit and output. In the i+1 frame, charge sharing is completed before the third moment a3 of the blanking phase t2. In the blanking phase t2, the control signals SW1, SW3, and SW4 are 0V, and the control signal SW2 is -6V. In the blanking phase t2, before the third moment a3, Vp1 is 0V and Vp2 is -6V. The second switch circuit and the sixth switch circuit are turned on, and the first switch circuit, the third switch circuit, the fifth switch circuit, and the fourth switch circuit are turned off. The first fixed voltage signal Vc1 is transmitted to the first switch circuit through the sixth switch circuit and output. In the i-th frame, in the blanking phase t2, at the third moment a3, Vp2 rises to 0V, and at the fourth moment a1 after the third moment a3, Vp1 rises to 6V.
[0141] Alternatively, in some embodiments, n=2.
[0142] It should be noted that, for a liquid crystal display panel, if for each frame, half of the voltage polarity of the data signals written to all data lines is positive and the other half is negative. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , each driving unit 1 is provided with two voltage conversion circuits 101, and the two voltage conversion circuits 101 are respectively a first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 and a second voltage conversion circuit 101-2. Correspondingly, the switch group includes two third switch circuits 1021, two fourth switch circuits 1022, two fifth switch circuits 1023, and two sixth switch circuits 1024. The third switch circuit 1021 marked in the figure 1021-1 and the fifth switch circuit 1023 marked in the figure 1023-1 are electrically connected to the first switch circuit 1011 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1, the fourth switch circuit 1022 marked in the figure 1022-1 and the sixth switch circuit 1024 marked in the figure 1024 are electrically connected to the first switch circuit 1011 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1. The first and second voltage conversion circuits 101-1 and 101-2 are electrically connected to the second switch circuit 1012. The third switch circuit 1021, referenced 1021-2, and the fifth switch circuit 1023, referenced 1023-2, are electrically connected to the first switch circuit 1011 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2. The fourth switch circuit 1022, referenced 1022-2, and the sixth switch circuit 1024, referenced 1024-2, are electrically connected to the second switch circuit 1012 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2. In a specific implementation, during the data writing phase, one of the first and second voltage conversion circuits 101-1 and 101-2 outputs a positive voltage, and the other outputs a negative voltage. The first switch circuit 1011 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 and the first switch circuit 1011 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2 are not turned on at the same time. The second switch circuit 1012 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 and the second switch circuit 1012 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2 are not turned on at the same time. The two third switch circuits 1021 are not turned on at the same time, the two fourth switch circuits 1022 are not turned on at the same time, the two fifth switch circuits 1023 are not turned on at the same time, and the two sixth switch circuits 1024 are not turned on at the same time. For ease of distinction, the first power supply signal and the second power supply signal in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 are represented by Vp1 and Vp2, respectively, and the first power supply signal and the second power supply signal in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2 are represented by Vp1' and Vp2', respectively. Within the same drive unit, Vp1 is not equal to Vp1', and Vp2 is not equal to Vp2'.
[0143] In a specific implementation, voltage polarity conversion can be performed once every j frames, where j is an integer greater than or equal to 1. If j is equal to 1, for a data line, the voltage polarity of its data signal in odd-numbered frames is opposite to the voltage polarity in even-numbered frames. If j is greater than 1, a group of j consecutive frames is considered, and for a data line, the voltage polarity of its data signal in each frame of the odd group is opposite to the voltage polarity in each frame of the even group. For example, if j = 2, the voltage polarity of some frames may be "positive, positive, negative, negative, positive, positive."
[0144] Next, taking the example that the voltage polarity output by the first voltage conversion circuit of the i-th frame is positive and the voltage polarity output by the second voltage conversion circuit is negative, and the voltage polarity output by the first voltage conversion circuit of the i+ frame is negative and the voltage polarity output by the second voltage conversion circuit is positive, and taking the example that the voltage polarity of the odd frame is opposite to the voltage polarity of the even frame, the working process of the source driving circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated.
[0145] It should be noted that, taking FIG. 10 as an example, the specific structure of the voltage conversion circuit 101 is shown in FIG. 6 , and the specific structures of the third switch circuit 1021 , the fifth switch circuit 1023 , the fourth switch circuit 1022 and the sixth switch circuit 1024 are shown in FIG. 8 . A timing diagram of the voltage conversion circuit and the switch group control signals is shown in FIG11 , wherein SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4 are control signals SW for the control terminals of the third switch circuit 1021 (reference numeral 1021-1), the fourth switch circuit 1022 (reference numeral 1022-1), the fifth switch circuit 1023 (reference numeral 1023-1), and the sixth switch circuit 1024 (reference numeral 1024-1), respectively.

In a specific implementation, to facilitate control, SW3 and SW3′ are inverse signals of each other, and SW4 and SW4′ are inverse signals of each other. It should be noted that the fact that SW3 and SW3' are mutually inverse signals means that when the fifth switch circuit whose control signal is SW3 at the control end is turned on in response to the SW3 signal, the fifth switch circuit whose control signal is SW3' at the control end is turned off in response to the SW3' signal; when the fifth switch circuit whose control signal is SW3 at the control end is turned off in response to the SW3 signal, the fifth switch circuit whose control signal is SW3' at the control end is turned on in response to the SW3' signal. The fact that SW4 and SW4' are mutually inverse signals means that when the sixth switch circuit whose control signal is SW4 at the control end is turned on in response to the SW4 signal, the sixth switch circuit whose control signal is SW4' at the control end is turned off in response to the SW4' signal; when the sixth switch circuit whose control signal is SW4 at the control end is turned off in response to the SW4 signal, the sixth switch circuit whose control signal is SW4' at the control end is turned on in response to the SW4' signal.

[0147] In the i-th frame, charge sharing is completed before the first moment a1 of the blanking phase t2. In the blanking phase t2, the control signals SW1, SW1', SW3', and SW4' are 0V, the control signal SW3 is 6V, and the control signals SW2, SW2', and SW4 are -6V; Vp1 is 6V, Vp2 and Vp1' are 0V, and Vp2' is -6V; the control signals at the control ends of the first switch circuit 1011 and the second switch circuit 1012 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 are the first control signal B1, and B1 is 6V; the control signals at the control ends of the first switch circuit 1011 and the second switch circuit 1012 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2 are the second control signal B2, and B2 is -6V; before the first moment a1 of the blanking phase t2, Vp1 is 6V, Vp2 and Vp1' are 0V, and Vp2' is -6V ; The first switch circuit 1011 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1, the second switch circuit 1012 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2, the fifth switch circuit 1023 with the reference numeral 1023-1, and the sixth switch circuit 1024 with the reference numeral 1024-2 are turned on, and the third switch circuit 1022, the fourth switch circuit 1023, the fifth switch circuit 1023 with the reference numeral 1023-2, and the sixth switch circuit 1024 with the reference numeral 1024-1 are turned off, and the first fixed voltage signal Vc1 is transmitted to the output of the first switch circuit 1011 in the first voltage conversion circuit 101-1 through the fifth switch circuit 1023 with the reference numeral 1023-1, and the first fixed voltage signal Vc1 is transmitted to the output of the second switch circuit 1012 in the second voltage conversion circuit 101-2 through the sixth switch circuit 1024 with the reference numeral 1024-2.
