Background Art

[0002] Typically, a display device includes a display panel and a display panel driver. The display panel may include multiple gate lines, multiple data lines, multiple emission lines, and multiple pixels. The display panel driver may include a gate driver, a data driver, an emission driver, and a drive controller. The gate driver may output gate signals to the gate lines.

The drive controller may control the operation of the gate driver, the operation of the data driver, and the operation of the emission driver. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In a display device, when black brightness is adjusted only by adjusting the black voltage, the black voltage may become too high and the range between the lowest grayscale voltage (black voltage) and the highest grayscale voltage increases, so that instantaneous afterimages may occur due to the hysteresis of driving the switching element.

[0004] In addition, when black luminance is adjusted by adjusting only the black voltage, the black voltage may become too high, so that power consumption may increase.

[0005] In addition, when the black voltage is fixed regardless of the brightness setting value, a black voltage higher than the predetermined expected voltage may be used at a low brightness setting value, and accordingly, the range between the lowest grayscale voltage (black voltage) and the highest grayscale voltage increases, so that momentary afterimages may occur due to the hysteresis of the driving switching element.

[0006] In addition, when the black voltage is fixed regardless of the brightness setting value, a black voltage higher than a predetermined desired voltage may be used at a low brightness setting value, so that power consumption may increase.

[0062] The present application will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various embodiments of the application are shown. The present application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

[0063] It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements can be present therebetween. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements present.

[0064] It will be understood that, although the terms "first", "second", "third", and the like can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein.

[0065] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, "a," "an," and "the" are not intended to refer to only a singular entity but include the general class of which a specific example can be used for illustration. The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a component" can include multiple components unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. "At least one" is not to be interpreted as limiting to "one." "Or" means "and / or." As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," or "includes" and / or "including" when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0066] In addition, relative terms such as "lower" or "bottom" and "upper" or "top" can be used herein to describe one element's or feature's relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as being on the "lower" side of other elements would then be oriented on "upper" sides of the other elements. The term "lower" can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of "lower" and "upper," depending on the particular orientation of the figure. Similarly, if the device in one of the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements would then be oriented "above" the other elements. The terms "below" or "beneath" can, therefore, encompass both an orientation of "below" and "above," depending on the particular orientation of the figure.

[0067] "About" or "approximately," as used herein when used in connection with a quantity, includes the stated value and means within a reasonable range of error for people of ordinary skill in the art making the measurement. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within 30%, 20%, 10%, or 5% of the stated value.

[0068] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0069] In this document, embodiments are described with reference to schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. Variations in the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein are not to be construed as being limited to the particular shapes as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result from manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as linear can actually have rough and / or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp corners can be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.

[0106] Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating Figure 1 the drive controller 200 and Figure 1 the memory 700. Figure 4 is a circuit diagram illustrating a part of the display panel 100. Figure 1 Figure 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining Figure 4 the black voltage V0 and Figure 4 the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB. Figure 6 is a graph illustrating a method of determining Figure 4 the black voltage V0 and Figure 4 the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB. Figure 7 is a graph illustrating a method of determining Figure 4 the black voltage V0. Figure 8 is a graph illustrating a method of determining Figure 4 the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB. Figure 9 is a graph illustrating the black luminance of the display panel 100 according to the luminance setting value DIM. Figure 1

[0107] With reference to Figures 1 to 9 in an embodiment, the drive controller 200 determines the black voltage V0 based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM, and determines the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM. The first anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTR) of the first pixel having the first color is different from the second anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTG) of the second pixel having the second color. The host can output the luminance setting value DIM to the drive controller 200. The host can output the drive frequency FR to the drive controller 200. Alternatively, the drive controller 200 can determine the drive frequency FR based on the input image data IMG.

[0108] The black voltage V0 can denote a data voltage corresponding to a gray value 0. The anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can denote voltages applied to anode electrodes of the light emitting element EE through the seventh pixel switching element PT7. The luminance setting value DIM can denote a degree of luminance of the display panel 100 set by a user. Alternatively, the luminance setting value DIM can be automatically set based on an ambient luminance. The luminance setting value DIM can be set based on a maximum luminance value of a maximum gray value.

[0109] ​​The drive controller 200 can include a black voltage calculator 220 that determines a black voltage V0 based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM, and an anode initialization voltage calculator 240 that determines anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM.

[0110] Through the initial setting operation, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be stored in the memory 700 for each drive frequency FR and each luminance setting value DIM.

[0111] The black voltage calculator 220 and the anode initialization voltage calculator 240 can communicate with the memory 700, and can generate the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the input drive frequency FR and the input luminance setting value DIM.

[0112] The display panel 100 can include a first pixel (e.g., a red pixel) having a first color, a second pixel (e.g., a green pixel) having a second color, and a third pixel (e.g., a blue pixel) having a third color.

[0113] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 The red pixel can include a red light emitting element EER and a red light emitting element initialization switching element PT7R, the green pixel can include a green light emitting element EEG and a green light emitting element initialization switching element PT7G, and the blue pixel can include a blue light emitting element EEB and a blue light emitting element initialization switching element PT7B.

[0114] Threshold voltages of the red light emitting element EER, the green light emitting element EEG, and the blue light emitting element EEB can be different from each other, such that when the same anode initialization voltage is applied to the red light emitting element EER, the green light emitting element EEG, and the blue light emitting element EEB, turn-on timings of the red light emitting element EER, the green light emitting element EEG, and the blue light emitting element EEB can be different from each other. Accordingly, when the display panel 100 displays a black image, the black image can be biased toward a particular color. In an embodiment, for example, among the threshold voltages of the red light emitting element EER, the green light emitting element EEG, and the blue light emitting element EEB, the threshold voltage of the red light emitting element EER can be the smallest. In an embodiment, for example, among the threshold voltages of the red light emitting element EER, the green light emitting element EEG, and the blue light emitting element EEB, the threshold voltage of the blue light emitting element EEB can be the largest.

[0115] Accordingly, the anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the red pixel can be different from at least one selected from the anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel and the anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the blue pixel.

[0116] In an embodiment, for example, the anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the red pixel can be smaller than the anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel. The anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel can be smaller than the anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the blue pixel.

[0117] As shown in Figures 5 to 8 In an embodiment, the black voltage V0 can be determined in such a manner that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is smaller than a first target luminance LT1 (STEP 1 in Figure 6 In addition, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be determined in such a manner that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is smaller than a second target luminance LT2 which is smaller than the first target luminance LT1 (STEP 2 in Figure 6 In this context, the initial measured luminance of the display panel 100 is denoted as LI. In this context, the measured luminance LM, the first target luminance LT1, and the second target luminance LT2 can denote luminances of a black image corresponding to a black gray value.

[0118] The measured luminance LM can be controlled to be smaller than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltage V0. However, when the measured luminance LM is controlled to be smaller than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltage V0, the black voltage V0 can become too high, such that the display quality can be deteriorated and the power consumption can be increased. Accordingly, after the measured luminance LM is controlled to be smaller than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltage V0, the measured luminance LM can be controlled to be smaller than the second target luminance LT2 by adjusting the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB.

[0119] In an embodiment, for example, the black voltage V0 can be increased as the driving frequency FR is decreased. When the driving frequency FR is small, the risk of current leakage through Figure 2 the third and fourth pixel switching elements PT3 and PT4 of the display panel 100 can be relatively high. Accordingly, when the driving frequency FR is decreased, the black voltage V0 can be increased to effectively prevent the black luminance from becoming higher than the target luminance.

[0120] In an embodiment, for example, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be reduced as the drive frequency FR is reduced. When the drive frequency FR is small, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be reduced as the black voltage V0 is raised to effectively prevent the black luminance from becoming higher than the target luminance.

[0121] In an embodiment, for example, the black voltage V0 can be raised as the luminance setting value DIM is increased. When the luminance setting value DIM is increased, the black voltage V0 can naturally be raised, and conversely, when the luminance setting value DIM is decreased, the black voltage V0 can naturally be reduced.

[0122] When the luminance setting value DIM is large, there is a risk that the black luminance becomes higher than the target luminance. When the luminance setting value DIM is small, there is a margin for further reducing the black voltage V0 so that the black voltage V0 can be substantially reduced.

[0123] In an embodiment, for example, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be reduced as the luminance setting value DIM is increased. When the luminance setting value DIM is large, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be reduced as the black voltage V0 is raised to effectively prevent the black luminance from becoming higher than the target luminance.

[0124] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 the black voltages V0 (V0R, V0G, and V0B) can have the same level regardless of the color of the pixel. The black voltages V0 (V0R, V0G, and V0B) can have the same initial value V0T, can have the same offset amount, and accordingly can have the same resulting value V0N regardless of the color of the pixel.

[0125] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can have different levels depending on the color of the pixel.

[0126] In an embodiment, for example, at least one of the initial value VAR1 of the initial value of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the first pixel, the initial value VAG1 of the initial value of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the second pixel, and the initial value VAB of the initial value of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the third pixel can be different from the other initial values selected from the above initial values. At least one of the offset amount for changing the initial value VAR1 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the first pixel, the offset amount for changing the initial value VAG1 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the second pixel, and the offset amount for changing the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the third pixel can be different from the other offset amounts selected from the above offset amounts. Although as shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the offset amount for changing the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB is zero, the present application can not be limited thereto. Figure 9

[0127] In an embodiment, for example, when the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are changed, the offset amount can be added to or subtracted from the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB. In an embodiment, for example, the offset amount can have different values according to the colors of the pixels based on the weights according to the colors of the pixels. In an embodiment, for example, the weight of a red pixel can be greater than the weights of a green pixel and a blue pixel. Accordingly, the absolute value of the offset amount of the red pixel can be greater than the absolute values of the offset amounts of the green pixel and the blue pixel.

[0128] Accordingly, at least one of the result value VAR2 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR, the result value VAG2 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG, and the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB can have a value different from the values of the other anode initialization voltages. In an embodiment, for example, the result value VAR2 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR, the result value VAG2 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG, and the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB can have values different from each other.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 6, in the conventional method of setting the black voltage at predetermined measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3 of the luminance setting value DIM, there is a risk of displaying an undesirably high luminance in an interpolation region between the measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3. The first curve C1 represents a case where an undesirably high luminance is displayed in the interpolation region between the measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3. Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 6, in the conventional method of setting the black voltage at predetermined measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3 of the luminance setting value DIM, there is a risk of displaying an undesirably high luminance in an interpolation region between the measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3. The first curve C1 represents a case where an undesirably high luminance is displayed in the interpolation region between the measurement points TH1, TH2, and TH3.​

[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, as described above, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB are appropriately set based on the luminance setting value DIM so that the display of an undesirably high luminance in the interpolation region between the predetermined measurement points TH1, TH2 and TH3 of the luminance setting value DIM can be effectively prevented. The second curve C2 represents a case where the display of an undesirably high luminance in the interpolation region between the measurement points TH1, TH2 and TH3 is not performed.

[0131] Referring back to Figure 5 The method of driving the display panel 100 according to the embodiment includes determining an initial value of the black voltage V0 based on (or corresponding to) the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM (operation S100), determining the black voltage V0 by changing the initial value of the black voltage V0 so that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than the first target luminance LT1 (operations S100, S200 and S300), determining initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM (operation S400), and determining the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB by changing the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB so that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than the second target luminance LT2 (operations S400, S500 and S600). The black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM can be stored in the memory 700. These processes can be included in an initial setting step of the display panel 100.

[0132] In the embodiment, for example, the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB can be determined based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM. In the embodiment, for example, the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB can be determined based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM and a color quantification value. In the embodiment, for example, the color quantification value can be a tricolor value. In the condition that the black luminance satisfies the target luminance, the color quantification value (tricolor value) based on the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB can be compared with a target color quantification value (target tricolor value), and the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG and VAINTB can be adjusted. In this way, the black luminance and the color characteristics can be corrected.

[0133] In an embodiment, the method of driving the display panel 100 can further include generating the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the input driving frequency FR and the input brightness setting value DIM, determining the data voltage based on the black voltage V0, outputting the data voltage to the pixels of the display panel 100, and outputting the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB to the pixels. These processes can be included in the step in which the display panel 100 is driven by the user.

[0134] According to an embodiment, the driving controller 200 can determine the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM. The anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be differently set according to the colors of the pixels.

[0135] The black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM, so that the black brightness of the display panel 100 can be sufficiently reduced to match the target brightness without excessively raising the black voltage V0.

[0136] In addition, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are differently set according to the colors of the pixels, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the black image from being biased to a specific color (e.g., reddish).

[0137] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the brightness setting value DIM, and at a low brightness setting value DIM, it is possible to not use a black voltage higher than a predetermined desired voltage, so that it is possible to substantially reduce the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage. When the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage is reduced, it is possible to effectively prevent temporal afterimage due to hysteresis of driving the switching elements, and it is possible to substantially reduce power consumption.

[0138] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM, so that it is possible to effectively prevent display of an undesirably high brightness in an interpolation zone between predetermined measurement points of the brightness setting value DIM.

[0139] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM, so that the step efficiency characteristic, which refers to a luminance difference between the first frame and the second frame, can be improved.

[0140] Figure 10 is a block diagram illustrating a driving controller 200 and a memory 700 of a display device according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 11 is a circuit diagram illustrating a portion of the display panel 100 of Figure 1 . Figure 12 is a graph illustrating a method of determining the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B of Figure 11 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB of Figure 11 . Figure 13 is a graph illustrating a method of determining the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B of Figure 11 . Figure 14 is a graph illustrating a method of determining the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB of Figure 11 .

[0141] The display device according to the embodiment of Figures 10 to 14 is substantially the same as the display device according to the embodiment described above with reference to Figures 1 to 9 . Accordingly, the same reference numerals will be used to refer to the elements the same as or similar to those described above with reference to Figures 1 to 9 , and any repetitive detailed description of the same or similar elements will be omitted.

[0142] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and Figures 10 to 14 , in the embodiment, the driving controller 200 determines the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM, and determines the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM. The first anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTR) of the first pixel having the first color is different from the second anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTG) of the second pixel having the second color.

[0143] In the embodiment, the first black voltage (e.g., V0R) of the first pixel having the first color is different from the second black voltage (e.g., V0G) of the second pixel having the second color.

[0144] The drive controller 200 can include a black voltage calculator 220A that determines the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM, and an anode initialization voltage calculator 240 that determines the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM.

[0145] The display panel 100 can include a first pixel (e.g., a red pixel) having a first color, a second pixel (e.g., a green pixel) having a second color, and a third pixel (e.g., a blue pixel) having a third color.

[0146] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 11 , the red pixel can include a red light emitting element EER and a red light emitting element initialization switching element PT7R, the green pixel can include a green light emitting element EEG and a green light emitting element initialization switching element PT7G, and the blue pixel can include a blue light emitting element EEB and a blue light emitting element initialization switching element PT7B.

[0147] In an embodiment, the anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the red pixel can be different from at least one selected from the anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel and the anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the blue pixel.

[0148] In an embodiment, for example, the anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the red pixel can be less than the anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel. The anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the green pixel can be less than the anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the blue pixel.

[0149] In an embodiment, the black voltage V0R of the red pixel can be different from at least one selected from the black voltage V0G of the green pixel and the black voltage V0B of the blue pixel.

[0150] In an embodiment, for example, the black voltage V0R of the red pixel can be greater than the black voltage V0G of the green pixel. The black voltage V0G of the green pixel can be greater than the black voltage V0B of the blue pixel.

[0151] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 12 to 14 , the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B can be determined in such a way that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than a first target luminance LT1 (STEP1 in Figure 12 ). In addition, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be determined in such a way that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than a second target luminance LT2 that is less than the first target luminance LT1 (STEP2 in Figure 12STEP2) in the above description.

[0152] In the embodiment, the measured luminance LM can be controlled to be less than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B. However, when the measured luminance LM is controlled to be less than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B, the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B can become too high, so that the display quality can be degraded and the power consumption can be increased. Therefore, in the embodiment, after the measured luminance LM is controlled to be less than the first target luminance LT1 by adjusting the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B, the measured luminance LM can be controlled to be less than the second target luminance LT2 by adjusting the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB.

[0153] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 In the embodiment, as shown in In the embodiment, as shown in

[0154] In the embodiment, for example, when the initial values of the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B are changed, an offset can be added to or subtracted from the initial values of the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B. In the embodiment, for example, the offset can have different values according to the colors of the pixels based on the weights according to the colors of the pixels. In the embodiment, for example, the weight of the red pixel can be greater than the weights of the green pixel and the blue pixel. Therefore, the absolute value of the offset of the red pixel can be greater than the absolute values of the offsets of the green pixel and the blue pixel.

[0155] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 14 In the embodiment, as shown in

[0156] In an embodiment, for example, at least one of the initial value VAR1 of the initial value of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the first pixel, the initial value VAG1 of the initial value of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the second pixel, and the initial value VAB of the initial value of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the third pixel can be different from the other initial values selected from the above initial values. At least one of the offset amount for changing the initial value VAR1 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR of the first pixel, the offset amount for changing the initial value VAG1 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG of the second pixel, and the offset amount for changing the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB of the third pixel can be different from the other offset amounts selected from the above offset amounts. Although as shown in FIG. 6, in an embodiment, the offset amount for changing the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB is zero, the present application can not be limited thereto. Figure 14

[0157] In an embodiment, for example, when the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are changed, the offset amount can be added to or subtracted from the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB. In an embodiment, for example, the offset amount can have different values according to the colors of the pixels based on the weights according to the colors of the pixels.

[0158] Accordingly, at least one of the result value VAR2 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR, the result value VAG2 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG, and the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB can have a value different from the values of the other anode initialization voltages. In an embodiment, for example, the result value VAR2 of the first anode initialization voltage VAINTR, the result value VAG2 of the second anode initialization voltage VAINTG, and the initial value VAB of the third anode initialization voltage VAINTB can have values different from each other.

[0159] According to an embodiment, the drive controller 200 can determine the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR and the luminance setting value DIM. The black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be differently set according to the colors of the pixels.

[0160] ​The black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM so that the black brightness of the display panel 100 can be sufficiently reduced to match the target brightness without excessively raising the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B.

[0161] In addition, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are differently set according to the color of the pixel so that the black image can be effectively prevented from being biased to a specific color (e.g., reddish).

[0162] In addition, the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the brightness setting value DIM, and at a low brightness setting value DIM, a black voltage higher than a predetermined desired voltage can not be used so that the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage can be substantially reduced. When the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage is reduced, the temporal afterimage due to the hysteresis of the driving switching element can be effectively prevented, and the power consumption can be substantially reduced.

[0163] In addition, the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM so that the display in an interpolation zone between predetermined measurement points of the brightness setting value DIM can be effectively prevented from showing an undesirably high brightness.

[0164] In addition, the black voltages V0R, V0G, and V0B and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR and the brightness setting value DIM so that the step efficiency characteristic, which refers to the brightness difference between the first frame and the second frame, can be improved.

[0165] Figure 15 FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0166] The display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the display apparatus according to the above-described embodiment with reference to FIG. 1, except that the black voltages and the anode initialization voltages are determined based on the driving frequency, the brightness setting value, and the temperature. Figure 15 The display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the display apparatus according to the above-described embodiment with reference to FIG. 1, except that the black voltages and the anode initialization voltages are determined based on the driving frequency, the brightness setting value, and the temperature.

Figures 1 to 9 The display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the display apparatus according to the above-described embodiment with reference to FIG. 1, except that the black voltages and the anode initialization voltages are determined based on the driving frequency, the brightness setting value, and the temperature.

[0167] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 9 and Figure 15 In an embodiment, the drive controller 200 determines the black voltage V0 based on the drive frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP, and determines the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP. The first anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTR) of the first pixel having the first color is different from the second anode initialization voltage (e.g., VAINTG) of the second pixel having the second color.

[0168] In an embodiment, the black voltage V0 can have the same level regardless of the color of the pixel, that is, the same black voltage V0 can be applied to each pixel.

[0169] The drive controller 200 can include a black voltage calculator 220B that determines the black voltage V0 based on the drive frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP, and an anode initialization voltage calculator 240B that determines the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the drive frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP.

[0170] In an embodiment, for example, as the temperature TEMP increases, the black voltage V0 can increase. When the temperature TEMP is high, Figure 2 The mobility of the pixel switching element in the display panel 100 of the embodiment can be high. Therefore, by Figure 2 The risk of current leakage of the third pixel switching element PT3 and the fourth pixel switching element PT4 of the display panel 100 of the embodiment can increase. Therefore, in an embodiment, as the temperature TEMP increases, the black voltage V0 can be increased to effectively prevent the black luminance from becoming higher than the target luminance.

[0171] In an embodiment, for example, as the temperature TEMP increases, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can decrease. When the temperature TEMP is high, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be decreased as the black voltage V0 is increased to effectively prevent the black luminance from becoming higher than the target luminance.

[0172] Referring back to Figure 5The method of driving the display panel 100 according to the embodiment includes determining an initial value of the black voltage V0 based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP (operation S100), determining the black voltage V0 by changing the initial value of the black voltage V0 so that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than the first target luminance LT1 (operations S100, S200, and S300), determining initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP (operation S400), and determining the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB by changing the initial values of the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB so that the measured luminance LM of the display panel 100 is less than the second target luminance LT2 (operations S400, S500, and S600). The black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP can be stored in the memory 700. These processes can be included in an initial setting step of the display panel 100.

[0173] The method of driving the display panel 100 can further include generating the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the input driving frequency FR, the input luminance setting value DIM, and the input temperature TEMP, determining the data voltage based on the black voltage V0, outputting the data voltage to the pixels of the display panel 100, and outputting the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB to the pixels. These processes can be included in a step in which the display panel 100 is driven by a user.

[0174] According to the embodiment, the driving controller 200 can determine the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP. The anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB can be differently set according to the colors of the pixels.

[0175] The black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP so that the black luminance of the display panel 100 can be sufficiently lowered to match the target luminance without excessively raising the black voltage V0.

[0176] In addition, the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are set differently according to the color of the pixel, so that it is possible to effectively prevent a black image from being biased toward a specific color (e.g., reddish).

[0177] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the luminance setting value DIM, and at a low luminance setting value DIM, it is possible to not use a black voltage that is higher than a predetermined desired voltage, so that it is possible to substantially reduce the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage. When the range between the lowest gray voltage (black voltage V0) and the highest gray voltage is reduced, it is possible to effectively prevent a transient image due to hysteresis of the driving switching element, and it is possible to substantially reduce power consumption.

[0178] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP, so that it is possible to effectively prevent an undesired high luminance from being displayed in an interpolation region between predetermined measurement points of the luminance setting value DIM.

[0179] In addition, the black voltage V0 and the anode initialization voltages VAINTR, VAINTG, and VAINTB are determined based on the driving frequency FR, the luminance setting value DIM, and the temperature TEMP, so that it is possible to improve a step efficiency characteristic that refers to a luminance difference between the first frame and the second frame.
