Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display panel technology, and in particular to a driving method and apparatus for a display panel, and a display panel. Background Technology

[0002] The color of a pixel is produced by the coupling of light emitted from three sub-pixels, resulting in a color that enters the human eye. This is the smallest unit and basic logic of color mixing in a display panel. However, the size and spacing of pixels do not perfectly match the precision that the human eye can clearly distinguish. Therefore, in normal displays, color mixing caused by coupling between pixels can still be observed. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable when the image has large areas of color blocks, and the color gamuts between these blocks differ. In actual display applications, such large-area color block boundaries frequently occur. Currently, the only solution is to simply increase or decrease the driving voltage to compensate for the entire panel, but this method cannot alleviate the color mixing problem in the boundary areas.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the aforementioned problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a driving method and apparatus for a display panel, and a display panel, to solve the technical problem in the related art that the color mixing in the boundary area cannot be reduced by simply increasing or decreasing the driving voltage to compensate for the entire panel.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided in this application has the following advantages: The method provided in this application, after acquiring the first grayscale of the first pixel in the target row of the display panel and the second grayscale of the second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, compares the first grayscale with the second grayscale to obtain a first comparison result; further, starting from the first pixel of the target row to the last pixel, the number of pixels in the target row that are different from adjacent pixels is counted according to the first comparison result to obtain a statistical result, and the corresponding signal duty cycle is determined according to the statistical result, and the pixels of the target row are driven based on the signal duty cycle.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

[0021] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0022] When an image has large areas of color blocks, and the color gamuts between these blocks differ, the color mixing problem on the display panel becomes particularly noticeable. For example... Figure 1 As shown, at the boundary between the blue block on the left and the green block on the right, the proportion of the boundary color combination observed by the human eye varies depending on the viewing angle. When the human eye's line of sight is as follows... Figure 1 As shown by point A in the diagram, when looking from the green towards the blue area, the human eye receives a higher proportion of green light, resulting in a more neutral color temperature at the boundary. Meanwhile, the human eye's line of sight... Figure 1 As shown at point B, when looking from the blue square towards the green square, the human eye receives a higher proportion of blue light, resulting in a cooler color temperature at the boundary. The color mixing on both sides appears as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the mixed color area is brighter than the original color area in comparison. This phenomenon enhances the distinction at the boundary, and at refresh rates of 60Hz and below, the jagged edges caused by the mixed color are visible at the boundary.

[0023] The concept of pixel color mixing is defined as follows:

[0024] Let pixel A have R=0, G=127, B=127; pixel B have R=0, G=160, B=150; pixel C have R=0, G=100, B=50; and pixel D have R=127, G=127, B=127, arranged in a DABC pattern. Adjacent A / D pixels are considered mixed colors because their sub-pixel compositions differ and they belong to different color systems. Pixels A and B have the same sub-pixel composition and a small grayscale difference, so they are not considered mixed colors. Pixels B and C are special cases; they have the same sub-pixel composition but a large grayscale difference. The coupling result of these two pixels, each with a weight of 0.5, is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the components of the sub-pixels are the same. Regardless of the gray level difference, the coupling result is the intermediate color of the adjacent sub-pixels, which has a good visual transition and is not considered as color mixing.

[0025] To address the problem in related technologies where simply adjusting the driving voltage to compensate for the entire panel fails to mitigate color mixing in boundary areas, this application provides a driving method for a display panel, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the steps of this method include:

[0026] Step 401: Obtain the first grayscale of the first pixel in the target row of the display panel, and the second grayscale of the second pixel adjacent to the first pixel; the first pixel is any pixel in the target row;

[0027] The display panel consists of multiple rows and columns of pixels. Each row or column contains multiple pixels. The target row can be any row in the display panel, such as the first row or the fifth row. If the target row is the first row, the first pixel can be any pixel in that row, such as the first pixel or the fifth pixel. Typically, a pixel is adjacent to four pixels (top, bottom, left, and right). However, pixels at the edges of the display panel may not have four adjacent pixels.

[0028] In addition, each pixel consists of three sub-pixels: R, G, and B. Each pixel has a corresponding grayscale level. For example, the grayscale level of the sub-pixels of the first pixel in the first row is R = 127 gray, G = 127 gray, and B = 60 gray.

[0029] Step 402: Compare the first grayscale with the second grayscale to obtain the first comparison result;

[0030] In this embodiment, grayscale comparison involves converting the grayscale of each sub-pixel of a pixel into its corresponding binary representation before comparison. For example, if the grayscale of a current pixel's sub-pixels is R = 127, G = 127, and B = 60, values ​​greater than 40 are converted to 1, and values ​​less than 40 are converted to 0. Therefore, the binary representation of this pixel's grayscale is 111. Similarly, if the current pixel's R = 30, G = 60, and B = 50, values ​​greater than 40 are converted to 1, and values ​​less than 40 are converted to 0. Therefore, the binary representation of this pixel's grayscale is 011. The first comparison result includes whether the pixels are the same or different. Same pixels mean that their binary representations are the same, such as both being 111 or 110. Different pixels mean that any binary bit in their binary representations is different, such as 111 and 110 corresponding to different pixels, or 101 and 111 corresponding to different pixels.

[0031] Step 403: Starting from the first pixel of the target row and ending at the last pixel, count the number of pixels in the target row that are different from their neighboring pixels based on the first comparison result to obtain the statistical result;

[0032] Step 404: Determine the corresponding signal duty cycle based on the statistical results, and drive the pixels of the target row based on the signal duty cycle.

[0033] Through steps 401 to 404 above, after acquiring the first grayscale of the first pixel in the target row of the display panel and the second grayscale of the second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, the first grayscale and the second grayscale are compared to obtain a first comparison result. Further, starting from the first pixel of the target row and ending at the last pixel, the number of pixels in the target row that are different from their adjacent pixels is counted based on the first comparison result to obtain a statistical result. The corresponding signal duty cycle is then determined based on the statistical result, and the pixels in the target row are driven based on the signal duty cycle. It can be seen that, through the embodiments of this application, by comparing the grayscale of a pixel with that of its adjacent pixels, the regions where two adjacent pixels differ can be found. Then, targeted driving control can be applied to these regions to perform display compensation and improve the visual effect abnormalities caused by uneven brightness between the boundaries of large-area color blocks and the original color areas.

[0034] In this embodiment, the comparison of gray levels involves converting the gray levels of each sub-pixel of a pixel into their corresponding binary representations before comparison. Therefore, the method for comparing the first gray level and the second gray level to obtain the first comparison result in step 402 can further include:

[0035] Step 11: Compare the grayscale of the three sub-pixels of the first pixel with a preset threshold to obtain a second comparison result;

[0036] Step 12: Determine the first binary representation of the first grayscale based on the second comparison result;

[0037] Step 13: Compare the grayscale of the three sub-pixels of the second pixel with a preset threshold to obtain a third comparison result;

[0038] Step 14: Determine the second binary representation of the second grayscale based on the third comparison result;

[0039] Step 15: Compare the binary bits in the first binary representation with the second binary representation to obtain the first comparison result.

[0040] In this embodiment, the preset threshold can be set according to actual needs, such as 40, 50, etc. Each sub-pixel corresponds to a grayscale value. For example, if the grayscale values ​​of the three sub-pixels of the current first pixel are R (127 gray), G (127 gray), and B (60 gray), then the grayscale values ​​of the three sub-pixels are compared with the preset threshold. Grayscale values ​​greater than or equal to the preset threshold are converted to 1, and grayscale values ​​less than the preset threshold are converted to 0. The binary representation of the first pixel is then 111. Similarly, the binary representation of the second pixel adjacent to the current first pixel can be determined. For example, if the binary representation of the second pixel is 110, then the binary representations of the first and second pixels are compared bit-by-bit. That is, if the first two bits of the binary representations of the first and second pixels are the same, and the third bit is different, then the first and second pixels are different. Only when all bits of the binary representations of the two pixels are the same are the first and second pixels the same. If the first pixel and the second pixel are the same, it means there is no color mixing problem between them. Color mixing only occurs when the first pixel and the second pixel are different from each other.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first comparison result is used to characterize whether two adjacent pixels are the same. Therefore, the method for obtaining the first comparison result by comparing the binary bits in the first binary representation and the second binary representation involved in step 15 above includes:

[0042] Step 21: Compare the binary bits in the first binary representation with those in the second binary representation in sequence;

[0043] Step 22: If all binary bits in the first binary representation and the second binary representation are equal, a first comparison result is obtained to characterize that the first pixel and the second pixel are the same.

[0044] Step 23: If any binary bit in the first binary representation and the second binary representation are not equal, a first comparison result is obtained to characterize that the first pixel and the second pixel are not the same.

[0045] For steps 21 to 23 above, in a specific example, taking the first binary representation of the first pixel as 111 and the second binary representation of the second pixel as 110 as an example, the binary representations of the two pixels are compared sequentially. First, the first bit of the binary representations of the two pixels is compared, and both are 1. Then, the second bit of the binary representations of the two pixels is compared, and both are 1. Finally, the third bit of the binary representations of the two pixels is compared, and one is 1 and the other is 0. It can be seen that the third bit of the binary representations of the two pixels is different, which means that the adjacent first pixel and second pixel are different pixels. That is, the first comparison result at this time indicates that the first pixel and the second pixel are different pixels.

[0046] Furthermore, in a specific example of the embodiments of this application, the comparison of the above-mentioned pixel binary representation can be implemented by a three-bit binary number comparator. Specifically, let a three-bit binary number be α = A2A1A0 from the high bit to the low bit, and another number be β = B2B1B0; when A > B, L = 1; when A = B, M = 1; when A < B, G = 1; first, compare the highest bit A2 and B2. If they are different, for the first bit, if A2 is greater than B2, then the comparison result α is greater than β can be obtained; then compare the middle bit A1 and B1. If they are different from the second bit onwards, and A1 is greater than B1, then the comparison result α is greater than β can be obtained; finally, compare the lowest bit A0 and B0. If they are different from the lowest bit onwards, and A0 is greater than B0, then the comparison result α is greater than β can be obtained.

[0047] The corresponding truth table is shown in Table 1:

[0048]

[0049] Table 1

[0050] The logical expression is:

[0051]

[0052] M=(A2⊙B2)(A1⊙B1)(A0⊙B0);

[0053]

[0054] Using this comparator, a pixel can obtain four sets of values ​​based on comparison with its four surrounding pixels. If any of them M≠1, it is considered a hit, meaning that there is a pixel with the same value among the neighboring pixels of that pixel.

[0055] In this embodiment, pixel driving is row-wide driving, meaning that the number of boundaries in the current row is determined before driving the pixels in that row, but the duty cycle of the driving signal is different. Based on this, for step 403 above, which involves counting the number of pixels in the target row that are different from their adjacent pixels based on the first comparison result, the method of obtaining the statistical result can further include:

[0056] Step 31: Starting from the first pixel of the target row, increment the counter every time a pixel in the target row is found to be different from its adjacent pixels, until the last pixel of the target row is reached.

[0057] Step 32: Obtain the record results of the counter to obtain the statistical results, wherein the record results are in binary form.

[0058] In this specific example, the counter uses △ to record the comparison results from the first pixel to the last pixel of the current row. Each pixel outputs L, M, or G as 0 or 1 after the algorithm comparison. For example, after comparing the first target pixel with the four pixels above, below, left, and right, the LMG values ​​in the four comparison results are 100, 100, 001, and 010 respectively. The carry-over △ is 0000011. It should be noted that the number of binary bits here is just an example; in specific applications, it can be set according to other requirements. After comparing the second pixel of the current row with the four pixels above, below, left, and right, the LMG values ​​in the four comparison results are 001, 100, 001, and 010 respectively. The carry-over △ is 0000110. After comparing the third pixel of the current row with the four pixels above, below, left, and right, the LMG values ​​are 010, 010, 010, and 010. The △ remains 0000110. After the last pixel, the △ is 1000110. Furthermore, the duty cycle can be set to 10% when Δ > 00001010, 50% when 00001010 > Δ > 00000101, and 70% when 00000101 > Δ. It should be noted that a duty cycle of 70% indicates that 70% of the signal duty cycle is driven by the normal voltage, and 30% is driven by the reverse voltage to blacken pixels. Therefore, the signal duty cycle in this embodiment is not a fixed value, but rather depends on the occurrence of different pixels in the current row. This means it can change in real-time with the screen and even with each row of data, greatly increasing the flexibility of pixel insertion and improving the display effect.

[0059] Furthermore, the method of driving the pixels of the target row based on the signal duty cycle involved in step 404 of this application embodiment may further include:

[0060] Step 41: Based on the first ratio in the signal duty cycle, control the timing controller in the display panel to generate a normal gate drive line signal to charge the pixels of the target row.

[0061] Step 42: Based on the second ratio in the signal duty cycle, control the microcontroller unit in the display panel to generate a reverse gate drive line signal to black out the pixels of the target row.

[0062] It should be noted that when color mixing occurs, the visual effect of pixels in the mixed color area will be slightly brighter than that of pixels in the original color area. Brightness in OLEDs is controlled based on two points: the driving voltage and the Em pulse width. However, directly changing the driving voltage or the Em pulse width can easily have a significant impact on the overall brightness of the panel. Therefore, this application generates a set of half-frame hysteresis CLK signals to insert half-frame black bars into the affected pixels to improve the uneven brightness of the mixed color area. Specifically, the upper half-frame uses the TCON CK signal, applying the corresponding grayscale data voltage to the pixel liquid crystal; the lower half-frame uses the MCU CK signal, applying the reverse grayscale data voltage to the pixel liquid crystal to accelerate liquid crystal reset. Although this application uses half-frame black bar insertion, the signal duty cycle is adjusted according to actual needs in specific scenarios. Specifically, the signal duty cycle in this embodiment is determined based on the boundary of the mixed color area in the current row; different rows have different boundary lines for color mixing, and therefore different corresponding signal duty cycles. Based on this, by adjusting the signal duty cycle, the brightness of the boundary pixel mixing area after human eye coupling is reduced and moves closer to the brightness of the original color area. This improves the jagged edge effect caused by uneven color mixing brightness at the boundary, and this temporal coupling makes the grayscale transition of the image smoother.

[0063] Furthermore, pixel charging is controlled solely by the GDL signal emitted from L / S on Control B. When CLK (Clock Signal) is high, the TFT Gate turns on and charges. The TCON (Timing Controller) controls L / S1 to generate a normal GDL1 signal, which is then delayed by half a frame by the MCU (this duty cycle can be adjusted by Δ) before being controlled by L / S2 to generate a GDL2 signal. This avoids the CK width discontinuity problem caused by TCON directly generating two sets of GDL (Gate Driver Logic) signals. Moreover, since both sets of GDL signals are fed in-plane, it is possible to control that during row charging, the first half-frame of the hit pixel obtained from the previous algorithm is charged with GDL1, and the second half-frame is charged with GDL2 using a reverse voltage to blacken it, thereby achieving boundary blurring and improving boundary issues. The overall circuit driving diagram is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0064] Corresponding to the above Figure 4 This application also provides a driving device for a display panel, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0067] The processing module 606 is used to count the number of pixels in the target row that are different from their adjacent pixels, starting from the first pixel and ending at the last pixel, based on the first comparison result, so as to obtain the statistical result.

[0068] The driving module 608 is used to determine the corresponding signal duty cycle based on the statistical results, and drive the pixels of the target row based on the signal duty cycle.

[0069] The apparatus of this application, after acquiring the first grayscale of a first pixel in a target row of a display panel and the second grayscale of a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, compares the first grayscale with the second grayscale to obtain a first comparison result.

The corresponding signal duty cycle is determined based on the statistical result, and the pixels in the target row are driven based on the signal duty cycle. Therefore, through this application embodiment, by comparing the grayscale of a pixel with that of its adjacent pixels, regions where two adjacent pixels differ can be found. Then, targeted driving control can be applied to these regions to perform display compensation and improve visual abnormalities caused by uneven brightness between the boundaries of large-area color mixing and the original color areas.
