Detailed Implementation

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the display device includes a gate low voltage line 110, a gate drive module 120, a timing control module 130, multiple refresh control modules 140, and multiple scan lines 150; the gate drive module 120 includes multiple cascaded gate drive units 121, which are used to generate gate drive signals. Each gate driving unit 121 is connected to the first terminal of a refresh control module 140, the second terminal of all refresh control modules 140 is connected to the gate low voltage line 110, the third terminal of each refresh control module 140 is connected to a row scan line 150, and the control terminal of all refresh control modules 140 is connected to the output terminal of the timing control module 130. The timing control module 130 is used to control the refresh control module 140 to adjust the on / off state of each gate driving unit 121 and the gate low voltage line 110 with the corresponding row scan line 150, so as to adjust the gate selection driving number of each row scan line 150 and adjust the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel.

[0020] The row scan lines 150 are horizontally arranged metal traces in the display panel array substrate. Each line corresponds to an entire row of pixels on the panel and is responsible for simultaneously turning on or off all thin-film transistors (TFTs) in a row, enabling progressive scan imaging of the display panel. The refresh control module 140 controls the connection between the gate low-voltage line 110 and the gate drive module 120 and their corresponding row scan lines 150. The gate low-voltage line 110 provides a negative voltage to ensure reliable shutdown of the TFTs connected to the row scan lines 150 when the gate low-voltage line 110 is connected to multiple row scan lines 150, preventing pixel leakage and screen flicker. The gate drive module 120 can perform progressive scan of the entire screen and lock the pixel voltage to ensure stable, flicker-free images. The timing control module 130 includes a timing controller, which is the central controller of the display panel. It can generate clock signals, set the sequence, control row scans, control column drives, and manage power timing, ensuring that the gate, source, thin-film transistors, and row scan lines 150 all work synchronously for stable imaging.

[0021] Based on the above connection relationships, the operation process of the display device is described as follows: When the display panel is in normal display mode, the refresh rate of the entire screen is controlled uniformly; for example, Figure 2 This invention provides a timing diagram of a timing control module controlling each refresh control module when the display panel is in normal display mode. Specifically, the timing control module 130 controls each refresh control module 140 to adjust the connection between each row of scan lines 150 and the corresponding gate driving unit 121, thereby sequentially selecting and driving each row of scan lines 150 and maintaining a consistent refresh rate across the entire display panel. When the display panel is in multi-frequency display mode, i.e., different display areas have different refresh rates; for example, Figure 3 The present invention provides a timing diagram of a timing control module controlling each refresh control module in one frame when the display panel is in multi-frequency display mode. Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, a timing control module controls the timing diagram of each refresh control module in 2 or 3 frames when the display panel is in multi-frequency display mode. Specifically, in the 3 frames of multi-frequency mode, the first frame refreshes data normally, while the second and third frames do not refresh data in the low refresh rate zone, forming a low refresh rate zone and a normal display zone. The timing control module 130 controls each refresh control module 140 to adjust the connection timing between each scan line 150 and the corresponding gate drive unit 121, thereby adjusting the gate selection drive number of each scan line 150 in different display areas above and below, and thus adjusting the refresh frequency of different display areas above and below.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the gate low voltage line 110 and the gate driving module 120 are connected to the row scan line 150 through the refresh control module 140. This allows the timing control module 130 to control the refresh control module 140 to adjust the on / off state of each gate driving unit 121 and the gate low voltage line 110 with the corresponding row scan line 150, thereby adjusting the gate selection driving number of each row scan line 150, adjusting the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel, and thus reducing the power consumption of the display device.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another refresh control module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the refresh control module 140 includes a first P-type MOSFET P1 and a first N-type MOSFET N1; the first terminal of the first P-type MOSFET P1 serves as the first terminal of the refresh control module 140, the second terminal of the first P-type MOSFET P1 is connected to the first terminal of the first N-type MOSFET N1 and serves as the third terminal of the refresh control module 140, the second terminal of the first N-type MOSFET N1 serves as the second terminal of the refresh control module 140, and the control terminal of the first P-type MOSFET P1 is connected to the control terminal of the first N-type MOSFET N1 and serves as the control terminal of the refresh control module 140.

[0024] Specifically, the timing control module 130 outputs a high-level signal to connect each scan line 150 to its corresponding gate low-voltage line 110, and outputs a low-level signal to connect each scan line 150 to its corresponding gate driving unit 121. Thus, the timing control module 130, through the refresh control module 140, adjusts the on / off states of each gate driving unit 121 and gate low-voltage line 110 with their respective scan lines 150, thereby adjusting the gate selection drive count of each scan line 150 and regulating the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another refresh control module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the refresh control module 140 includes a second P-type MOSFET P2 and a second N-type MOSFET N2; the first terminal of the second N-type MOSFET N2 serves as the first terminal of the refresh control module 140, the second terminal of the second N-type MOSFET N2 is connected to the first terminal of the second P-type MOSFET P2 and serves as the third terminal of the refresh control module 140, the second terminal of the second P-type MOSFET P2 serves as the second terminal of the refresh control module 140, and the control terminal of the second P-type MOSFET P2 is connected to the control terminal of the second N-type MOSFET N2 and serves as the control terminal of the refresh control module 140.

[0026] In this system, the timing control module 130 outputs a high-level signal to connect each scan line 150 to its corresponding gate driving unit 121, and outputs a low-level signal to connect each scan line 150 to its corresponding gate low-voltage line 110. Thus, the timing control module 130, through the refresh control module 140, adjusts the on / off states of each gate driving unit 121 and gate low-voltage line 110 with its corresponding scan line 150, thereby adjusting the gate selection drive count of each scan line 150 and regulating the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of another refresh control module provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the display device also includes an image processing module 160; the image processing module 160 is connected to the timing control module 130; The image processing module 160 determines the coordinate information or frequency domain division information of the multi-frequency display image based on the current image display data. The timing control module 130 controls the refresh control module 140 to adjust the on / off state of each gate driving unit 121 and gate low voltage line 110 with the corresponding row scan line 150 based on the coordinate information or frequency domain division information.

[0028] The image processing module 160 includes an image processor. The coordinate information includes the vertical coordinates corresponding to display areas with different refresh rates, and the frequency domain division information includes the line scan data corresponding to the distribution of display areas with different refresh rates. For example, taking a 1920*1200 resolution as an example, if the vertical coordinates of the upper low refresh rate display area correspond to G1~G100, the vertical coordinates of the effective display area correspond to G101~G1100, the vertical coordinates of the lower low refresh rate display area correspond to G1101~G1200, and the blank area is set to 35; The number of refresh area rows recorded in the read / write registers of timing control module 130 is shown in the table below: Based on the above embodiments, alternatively, refer to the following: Figure 7 The display device also includes multiple rows of data lines 170 and a data drive module 180; The data driver module 180 is connected to each column of data lines 170, and the timing control module 130 is connected to the data driver module 180. The timing control module 130 is used to control the data driver module 180 to output a black level to each column of data lines 170 when the refresh control module 140 is in the off state and refreshes in the low-frequency display area.

[0029] The data driver module 180 includes a data driver chip. In the low refresh rate display area, the data driver module 180 performs black insertion processing when the refresh control module 140 is in the off state, that is, it outputs a black level to each column of data lines 170, thereby effectively saving power consumption.

[0030] Specifically, the timing control module 130 generates a display control signal based on the current image display data; the data driving module 180 adjusts the output data voltage to each column of data lines 170 according to the display control signal so that the display panel updates the display screen; when the data driving module 180 refreshes in the low-frequency display area according to the display control signal and the refresh control module 140 is in the off state, it outputs a black level to each column of data lines 170.

[0031] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating a driving method for a display device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the driving method of this display device is executed using the display device provided in any embodiment of the present invention; A method for driving a display device includes: S110, the timing control module controls the refresh control module to adjust the on / off state of each gate drive unit and gate low voltage line with the corresponding row scan line, so as to adjust the gate selection drive number of each row scan line and adjust the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the timing control module controls the refresh control module to adjust the on / off state of each gate driving unit and the gate low voltage line with the corresponding row scan line, thereby adjusting the gate selection driving number of each row scan line, adjusting the refresh frequency of different areas of the display panel, and thus reducing the power consumption of the display device.

[0033] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, the display device further includes an image processing module; the image processing module is connected to the timing control module.

[0034] Before the timing control module controls the refresh control module to adjust the on / off state of each gate drive unit and gate low voltage line with the corresponding row scan line, the following is also included: The image processing module determines the coordinate information or frequency domain division information of the multi-frequency display image based on the current image display data.

[0036] The timing control module controls the refresh control module to adjust the on / off state of each gate drive unit and gate low voltage line with the corresponding row scan line, including: The timing control module controls the refresh control module to adjust the on / off state of each gate drive unit and gate low voltage line with the corresponding row scan line according to the coordinate information or frequency domain division information.

[0037] Specifically, the timing control module determines regions with different refresh frequencies based on coordinate information or frequency domain division information. The timing control module adjusts the on / off state of each gate driving unit with the corresponding row scan line when transmitting the gate selection driving level according to the refresh frequency of each display region, thereby adjusting the refresh frequency of different regions of the display panel.

[0038] The timing control module controls each gate driving unit in the display area with a high refresh rate to conduct more times with the corresponding row scan line when transmitting the gate selection drive level, and controls each gate driving unit in the display area with a low refresh rate to conduct less times with the corresponding row scan line when transmitting the gate selection drive level, thereby adjusting the refresh rate of different areas of the display panel.

[0041] The pixel image data consists of RGB pixel data (R / G / B serial / parallel digital data streams). The timing control module receives the current image display data, rearranges and re-timing it, and then outputs the RGB pixel data line by line to the data driver module to control which color and grayscale level each pixel displays. The pixel clock is the synchronization clock for the data driver module to sample the pixel data; the line start pulse is a signal marking the start of a line of data transmission; the data latch signal causes the data driver module to latch the pixel data in the shift register and output it to the pixel electrode; the polarity inversion signal controls the AC polarity reversal of the liquid crystal pixels to prevent liquid crystal aging and flicker; and the line end signal marks the end of a line of data transmission.

[0042] S220, the data drive module adjusts the output data voltage to each column of data lines according to the display control signal, so that the display panel updates the display screen.

[0043] The timing control module sends pixel image data, pixel clock, line start pulse, data latch signal, polarity reversal signal and line end signal to the data driving module, so that the data driving module writes grayscale voltage into the pixel according to precise timing, thereby controlling the display screen.

[0044] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the data driving module adjusts the output data voltage of each column of data lines according to the display control signal, and further includes: the data driving module outputs a black level to each column of data lines when refreshing in the low-frequency display area according to the display control signal and the refresh control module is in the off state.

[0045] Among them, the data driving module performs black insertion processing when the display control signal refreshes in the low-frequency display area and the refresh control module is in the off state, that is, it outputs a black level for each column of data lines, which can effectively save power consumption.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, after the data driving module adjusts the output data voltage to each column of data lines according to the display control signal, the method further includes: S310 The image processing module acquires image display data, uses the newly acquired image display data as the current image display data, and determines whether the display screen of the display panel needs to be adjusted based on the current image display data.
