Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a charge and discharge control circuit and a display panel. Background Art
[0002] The display panel realizes its display function through multiple pixel structures. Each pixel structure often includes sub-pixels corresponding to basic colors such as R (red), G (green), and B (blue). Each sub-pixel has a corresponding control channel. Each control channel is provided with a capacitor and a switch for controlling the charging and discharging of the capacitor, wherein the switch is used to turn on or off according to the control clock; for example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Two control channels, Ch1 and Ch2, are shown. TP is the control clock. In the control clock TP, the switch is turned off during a high-level period to allow the control channel to write control data, and is turned on during a low-level period to allow the capacitor to charge and discharge according to the written control data, thereby controlling the corresponding sub-pixel to achieve functions such as luminescence.

[0029] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and their technical features can be combined with each other.
[0030] In a first aspect, the present application provides a charge-discharge control circuit, which is disposed within a display panel and can be used to control the charging and discharging of capacitors on positive and negative polarity channels in the display panel to enable corresponding sub-pixels to achieve display functions. Specifically, the display panel includes multiple control channels, where adjacent control channels have opposite polarity, for example, odd-numbered control channels are positive polarity channels, even-numbered control channels are negative polarity channels, and so on.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the charge and discharge control circuit includes a judgment circuit (not shown in the figure), a first control structure 100 corresponding to the positive polarity channel and a second control structure 200 corresponding to the negative polarity channel.
[0032] The judgment circuit is configured to output a pre-processing control signal for activating the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 during a pre-charge / discharge period when a pre-processing condition is met, thereby activating the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200, respectively. Optionally, the pre-processing condition includes a requirement to pre-charge the capacitors of each control channel during the current control cycle to bring the voltages at the capacitors closer to the corresponding target voltages. Optionally, the judgment circuit can be implemented using an intelligent control chip such as an MCU (microcontroller unit); alternatively, the judgment circuit can be implemented using a circuit structure such as a logic device, adder, and / or counter that mutually assists in identifying the pre-processing condition. Optionally, the pre-charge / discharge period can include the period when each control channel is writing corresponding control data. During this period, the charge / discharge control switches of each control channel are disconnected, and the voltages at the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are at the corresponding initial voltages.
[0033] The first control structure 100 is used to charge the first capacitor C1 of the positive polarity channel after being turned on, so that the voltage at the first capacitor C1 reaches a first set voltage V01, wherein the first set voltage V01 is greater than the first initial voltage VG1 of the first capacitor C1 before charging, and less than the first target voltage VG7 that the first capacitor C1 needs to reach. The first control structure 100 can pre-charge the first capacitor C1 before the charge and discharge control switch in the positive polarity channel is turned on, so that the voltage at the first capacitor C1 reaches the first set voltage V01 that is closer to the first target voltage VG7. This can shorten the time for charging the first capacitor C1 after the subsequent charge and discharge control switch in the positive polarity channel is turned on, and reduce the requirements for the corresponding driving capability, thereby reducing the area of the corresponding driving amplifier. Figure 2In the figure, odd-numbered control channels such as Ch1, Ch3, ..., Chn-1 are positive polarity channels, where n is an even number. S1 is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Ch1, S3 is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Ch3, ..., Sn-1 is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Chn-1. Optionally, the first set voltage V01 can be a value intermediate between the first initial voltage VG1 and the first target voltage VG7.
[0034] The second control structure 200 is used to discharge the second capacitor C2 of the negative polarity channel after being turned on, so that the voltage at the second capacitor C2 reaches a second set voltage V02. The second set voltage V02 is less than the second initial voltage VG8 of the second capacitor C2 before discharge, and is greater than the second target voltage VG14 that the second capacitor C2 needs to reach. The second control structure 200 can pre-discharge the second capacitor C2 before the charge and discharge control switch in the negative polarity channel is turned on, so that the voltage at the second capacitor C2 reaches the second set voltage V02 that is closer to the second target voltage VG14. This can shorten the time for discharging the second capacitor C2 after the subsequent charge and discharge control switch in the negative polarity channel is turned on, and reduce the requirements for the corresponding driving capability, thereby reducing the area of the corresponding driving amplifier. Figure 2 In the example, even-numbered control channels such as Ch2, Ch4, ..., Chn are negative polarity channels, where n is an even number. S2 is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Ch2, S4 is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Ch4, ..., Sn is the charge and discharge control switch for the positive polarity channel Chn.
[0035] Specifically, the pretreatment conditions include condition A and condition B.
[0036] Condition A includes: the voltage difference between the capacitor before and after charging or discharging is greater than a preset voltage. Optionally, the preset voltage may be half the voltage difference between the first target voltage VG7 and the first initial voltage VG1, or half the voltage difference between the second initial voltage VG8 and the second target voltage VG14. A voltage difference between the capacitor before and after charging or discharging that is greater than the preset voltage indicates that the voltage difference between the capacitor before and after charging or discharging is too large, requiring a higher drive capability for the corresponding control channel's driver amplifier.
[0037] Condition B includes: the number of channels (including positive polarity channels and negative polarity channels) that meet condition A is greater than or equal to the preset number of channels. Optionally, the preset number of channels can be set to a value equal to ⅔ of the total number of control channels in the display panel. The number of channels that meet condition A is greater than or equal to the preset number of channels, indicating that in the corresponding control cycle, the voltage difference between the capacitors of most control channels before and after charging or discharging is too large, and the drive amplifiers of these control channels require greater driving capability. In this case, the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 are respectively connected during the pre-charge and discharge period, so that the first control structure 100 charges the first capacitor C1 during the pre-charge and discharge period, and the second control structure 200 discharges the second capacitor C2 during the pre-charge and discharge period. This pre-controls the capacitance of each control channel to be closer to the corresponding target voltage, which can shorten the subsequent capacitor charging time and weaken the corresponding driving capability requirements.
[0038] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 As shown, each control channel can work according to the control clock TP1. If the judgment circuit recognizes the preprocessing condition, the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 are respectively turned on during the pre-charge and discharge period. The first control structure 100 pre-charges the first capacitor C1 during the pre-charge and discharge period so that the voltage at the first capacitor C1 reaches the first set voltage V01. The second control structure 200 pre-discharges the second capacitor C2 during the pre-charge and discharge period so that the voltage at the second capacitor C2 reaches the second set voltage V02. After the pre-charge and discharge period, the judgment circuit turns off the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 respectively, and each control channel turns on the charge and discharge control switch therein, and charges and discharges the corresponding capacitor according to the corresponding control data so that the corresponding capacitors all reach the corresponding target voltage.
[0039] Optionally, when the judgment circuit recognizes that the corresponding control cycle meets the pre-processing condition, it can also output a pre-processing control signal for connecting the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 during the recovery period, so as to connect the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 respectively. Figure 3 As shown, the first control structure 100 can pre-discharge the first capacitor C1 during the recovery period so that the voltage at the first capacitor C1 changes from the first target voltage VG7 to the first set voltage V01 in advance, so as to shorten the time for subsequently discharging the first capacitor C1 to the first initial voltage VG1 in the positive polarity channel; the second control structure 200 can pre-charge the second capacitor C2 during the recovery period so that the voltage at the second capacitor C2 changes from the second target voltage VG14 to the first set voltage V01 in advance, so as to shorten the time for subsequently charging the second capacitor C2 to the second initial voltage VG8 in the negative polarity channel.
[0040] In the above-mentioned charge and discharge control circuit, when the judgment circuit recognizes a pre-processing condition that requires pre-charging the capacitors of each control channel in the current control cycle, the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 are respectively connected during the pre-charge and discharge period, so that the first control structure 100 charges the first capacitor C1 of the positive polarity channel after being connected, and the voltage at the first capacitor C1 reaches the first set voltage V01 before it is charged or discharged. After being connected, the second control structure 200 discharges the second capacitor C2 of the negative polarity channel, and the voltage at the second capacitor C2 reaches the second set voltage V02 before it is charged or discharged. In this way, the first control structure 100 can pre-charge the first capacitor C1 before the charge and discharge control switch in the positive polarity channel is turned on, and the second control structure 200 can pre-discharge the second capacitor C2 before the charge and discharge control switch in the negative polarity channel is turned on. This can shorten the time for charging and discharging the corresponding capacitors after the charge and discharge control switches in each control channel are turned on, and reduce the requirements for the corresponding driving capabilities, thereby reducing the area of the corresponding driving amplifier.

[0059] Specifically, the third switch 300 can neutralize the charges of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 in the corresponding group of control channels after being turned on. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 The figure shows the change characteristics of the capacitor voltage when the capacitor of the control channel is not charged and is charged during the recovery period. Figure 9 Characterization shows that after the charges of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 in each group of control channels are neutralized, the voltages corresponding to the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 can approach the corresponding target voltage more quickly, which can further reduce the requirements for the corresponding driving capability, thereby reducing the area of the corresponding driving amplifier.
[0060] In the above charge and discharge control circuit, when the judgment circuit identifies the pre-processing condition that the capacitors of each control channel need to be pre-charged in the current control cycle, the first control structure 100 and the second control structure 200 are respectively turned on during the pre-charge and discharge period, so that the first control structure 100 charges the first capacitor C1 of the positive polarity channel after being turned on, and the voltage at the first capacitor C1 reaches the first set voltage V01 before it is charged and discharged. After the second control structure 200 is turned on, it discharges the second capacitor C2 of the negative polarity channel, and the voltage at the second capacitor C2 reaches the second set voltage V02 before it is charged and discharged. In this way, the first control structure 100 can pre-charge the first capacitor C1 before the charge and discharge control switch in the positive polarity channel is turned on, and the second control structure 200 can pre-discharge the second capacitor C2 before the charge and discharge control switch in the negative polarity channel is turned on. This can shorten the time for charging and discharging the corresponding capacitors after the subsequent charge and discharge control switches in each control channel are turned on, and reduce the requirements for the corresponding driving capabilities, thereby reducing the area of the corresponding driving amplifier.
