[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0046] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display devices use organic light-emitting materials as light-emitting sub-pixels to achieve luminous display of images, and have the advantages of low power consumption, high brightness and high response speed. Low-temperature polysilicon oxide thin-film transistor (LTPO TFT) technology is an emerging thin-film transistor technology in recent years. Theoretically, LTPO TFT can dynamically adjust different display refresh rates according to different screen application scenarios or user needs. Compared with traditional low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor (LTPS TFT) technology, it can further save energy consumption of the display screen.
[0047] The driving mode of the display device also affects the power consumption. As the resolution of the display device increases, the number of source channels of the data driver in the display device will increase, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost, the related art proposes a demultiplexing driving scheme or a demux driving scheme, wherein each source channel of the data driver in the demultiplexing driving scheme can drive two or more sub-pixel columns. In a display device adopting a demultiplexing driving scheme, since each source channel drives two or more sub-pixel columns in a time-division manner, it may not be possible to ensure sufficient threshold voltage compensation time to compensate for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor included in each sub-pixel, making it difficult to take into account both the energy efficiency and the display effect of the display device.
[0048] The inventors also found that when the current display driver uses the GOA drive circuit to scan and drive the sub-pixels, if the sub-pixels are scanned row by row, the gamma voltage required by the sub-pixels of different colors will be different, causing the display driver chip (DDIC) to frequently switch the output gamma voltage, resulting in high analog power consumption of the chip, which is not conducive to reducing the power consumption of the display screen. However, if the sub-pixels are not scanned in row order, it will easily cause tearing of the display screen in the human eye's perception, and it is also difficult to take into account the energy efficiency and display effect of the display device.
[0049] Current portable terminal devices, such as mobile phones and smart watches, have a strong demand for reducing device power consumption. To this end, considering that current OLED display screens can dynamically adjust the display refresh rate, the inventor further proposes to provide different scanning drive modes for different display refresh rates or dynamic and static display images, thereby reducing the analog power consumption of the display driver chip, and then reducing the energy consumption of the display screen and the terminal device.
[0050] In view of the consideration and analysis of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application proposes a display driver device and a display device. On the one hand, when the display substrate performs dynamic picture display and high refresh rate display, the sub-pixel is scanned row by row, so as to avoid the screen tearing when the display device displays high dynamic pictures, thereby effectively ensuring the display effect of the display device. On the other hand, when the display substrate performs static picture display or low refresh rate display, the sub-pixel is scanned across rows in accordance with the gamma voltage required by each row of sub-pixels. In this way, the display driver chip can be effectively prevented from frequently switching the gamma voltage required for sub-pixels of different colors without causing the tearing display picture captured by the human eye. Since there is a voltage difference between different gamma voltages, reducing the switching frequency of the voltage helps to reduce the analog power consumption of the display driver chip, and can also ensure sufficient voltage compensation time under high energy efficiency, which helps to further reduce the energy consumption of the display device. In this way, the display effect and energy efficiency of the display device are taken into consideration.
[0051] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows a structural block diagram of a display driving device 300 in an embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a display driving device 300 applied to a display substrate.
[0053] Figure 2 FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a pixel array of a display substrate 400 in an embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the display substrate 400 includes: a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in an array, and any column of sub-pixels arranged along a first direction includes: a plurality of first color sub-pixels 401 and a plurality of second color sub-pixels 402 arranged alternately.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, the display driving device 300 can be applied to an OLED display substrate. Accordingly, the sub-pixel can include an organic light-emitting sub-pixel. The light-emitting colors of the first color sub-pixel 401 and the second color sub-pixel 402 can be any two of red, green and blue (RGB).
[0055] Figure 3 FIG. 4 shows a driving schematic diagram of a display substrate 400 in an embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the display substrate 400 may include a plurality of data lines DT (in Figure 3 / 8 / 9 are represented by DT1, DT2, etc., the same below) and multiple gate lines GT (in Figure 3 / 8 / 9 are represented by GT1, GT2, ..., the same below), the multiple data lines DT and the multiple gate lines GT are insulated and overlapped with each other, and the multiple data lines DT and the multiple gate lines GT can enclose a plurality of pixel units, so that sub-pixels can be set in the pixel units.
[0056] The display driving device 300 is configured to write a gamma voltage into a sub-pixel to drive the sub-pixel to emit light.
[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional implementations, the display driving device 300 may include a display driving chip (not shown) and / or a GOA driving circuit, wherein the GOA driving circuit may also be referred to as a GOA circuit.
[0058] The gamma voltage may also be called a data voltage. The display driving device 300 may use any gate line GT to control transistor switches corresponding to a row of sub-pixels arranged along the second direction, and cooperate with any data line DT to write a gamma voltage to sub-pixels in a column of sub-pixels arranged along the first direction, thereby writing corresponding gamma voltages to sub-pixels of different luminous colors, so that each sub-pixel emits light.
[0059] The gamma voltages include a first gamma voltage and a second gamma voltage.
[0060] The first gamma voltage may be a data voltage that enables the first color sub-pixel 401 to emit light according to a set light intensity, and the second gamma voltage may be a data voltage that enables the second color sub-pixel 402 to emit light according to a set light intensity. Specifically, by adjusting the magnitude of the gamma voltage, the light intensity of the sub-pixel can be adjusted.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the display driving device 300 includes: a first driving unit 310 and a second driving unit 310 .
[0062] The first driving unit 310 is configured to, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold and the current display frame data changes, alternately write a first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 in a column of sub-pixels and a second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 in the column of sub-pixels row by row along a first direction within a display frame.
[0063] Wherein, under the control of the first driving unit 310 , the GOA driving circuit can scan and drive the display substrate 400 with every 2 rows of sub-pixels arranged along the first direction as a cycle.
[0064] In some optional implementations, the first preset refresh rate threshold is equal to 1 / 2 of the maximum display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 .
[0065] In an optional example, the maximum display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 may be 120 Hz, and the first preset refresh rate threshold may be 60 Hz.
[0066] The second driving unit 320 is configured to, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is not higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold or the current display frame data remains unchanged for a preset number of consecutive frames, alternately write the first gamma voltage row by row to at least every two first color sub-pixels 401 in a column of sub-pixels and write the second gamma voltage row by row to at least every two second color sub-pixels 402 in the column of sub-pixels along the first direction within a display frame.
[0067] To facilitate periodic driving of sub-pixels, along the first direction, the second driving unit 320 controls the number of rows of first color sub-pixels 401 to which the first gamma voltage is written each time to be equal to the number of rows of second color sub-pixels 402 to which the second gamma voltage is written each time.
[0068] Exemplarily, the second driving unit 320 controls the number of rows of the first color sub-pixels 401 to which the first gamma voltage is written each time to be 2, 3, 4..., and the number of rows of the second color sub-pixels 402 to which the second gamma voltage is written each time can also be 2, 3, 4... Then, under the control of the second driving unit 320, the GOA driving circuit can scan and drive the display substrate 400 with 4, 6, 8... rows of first color sub-pixels 401 and second color sub-pixels 402 arranged along the first direction as a period.
[0069] Through the above embodiments, on the one hand, when the display substrate displays dynamic images and displays at a high refresh rate, the GOA driving circuit can be used to perform line-by-line scanning of sub-pixels of different colors, so as to avoid the display device from having a sense of screen tearing when displaying high dynamic images, thereby effectively ensuring the display effect of the display device. On the other hand, when the display substrate displays static images or displays at a low refresh rate, the GOA driving circuit can be used to perform multi-line synchronous scanning, which can effectively avoid the display driver chip from frequently switching the gamma voltages required for sub-pixels of different colors without the occurrence of tearing display images captured by the human eye. Since there is a voltage difference between different gamma voltages, reducing the voltage switching frequency helps to reduce the analog power consumption of the display driver chip, which in turn helps to further reduce the energy consumption of the display device.
[0070] Figure 8 FIG. 2 shows a driving timing diagram of an embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in an example provided in the present application, for a display substrate provided with 1920 rows of sub-pixels, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate is higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold and the current display frame data changes, within the time of a display frame, the GOA circuit scans row by row, and the gate lines GT1 to GT1920 turn on the transistor switches in sequence. Under the joint action of the data voltage terminal FT and the data selection line MUX, any of the odd-numbered data lines DT1, DT3, ... arranged along the second direction alternately provides a gamma voltage corresponding to the sub-pixel according to the time of row-by-row scanning. Exemplarily, any of the odd-numbered data lines DT1, DT3, ... arranged along the second direction alternately provides a first gamma voltage ( Figure 8 or Fig. 9 01 in the figure) and the second gamma voltage ( Figure 8 or Fig. 9 The even-numbered data lines DT2, DT4, etc. arranged along the second direction provide a third gamma voltage ( Figure 8 or Fig. 9 03 in the figure).
[0071] Fig. 9 FIG. 2 shows a driving timing diagram in another embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, in an example provided in the present application, for a display substrate provided with 1920 rows of sub-pixels, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate is not higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold or the current display frame data is continuously preset for a constant number of frames, within the time of a display frame, the GOA circuit first scans all odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels line by line in the first half frame, and the odd-numbered row gate lines GT1, GT3, ... to GT1919 turn on the transistor switches in sequence, and then scans all even-numbered rows of sub-pixels line by line in the second half frame, and the even-numbered row gate lines GT2, GT4, to GT1920 turn on the transistor switches in sequence. Under the joint action of the data voltage terminal FT and the data selection line MUX, any data line of the odd-numbered column data lines DT1, DT3, ... arranged along the second direction provides a gamma voltage corresponding to the sub-pixel in the first half frame, and provides another gamma voltage corresponding to the sub-pixel in the second half frame. Exemplarily, starting from the data line DT1, any data line arranged along the second direction with four columns as one period, including the data line DT1, first provides the first gamma voltage, and then provides the second gamma voltage, for example, jumping from the red gamma voltage to the blue gamma voltage. Starting from the data line DT3, any data line arranged along the second direction with four columns as one period, including the data line DT3, first provides the second gamma voltage, and then provides the first gamma voltage. Any data line of the even-numbered data lines DT2, DT4, ... arranged along the second direction provides the third gamma voltage.
[0072] Figure 8 The driving timing in can avoid the tearing feeling of dynamic display screen with high refresh rate. Figure 8 The drive timing in Fig. 9 The driving timing shown can not only reduce the hopping frequency of the data selection terminal connected to the data selection line MUX, but also reduce the hopping frequency of the data voltage terminal FT, which can be applied to low refresh rate or static display images, thereby effectively reducing the analog power consumption of the display driver chip.
[0073] In some optional embodiments, the higher the display refresh rate, the stronger the corresponding display screen dynamics, and the increase in the GOA shift period is more likely to cause a sense of screen tearing visible to the human eye. To this end, in an optional embodiment, the present application also provides a display driver device 300, wherein the frequency of alternating writing of the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 and the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 by the first driver unit 310 or the second driver unit 320 is positively correlated with the current display refresh rate.
[0074] And / or, the number of rows at which the first driving unit 310 or the second driving unit 320 alternately writes the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 or the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 is negatively correlated with the current display refresh rate.
[0075] For example, assuming that the display substrate is provided with 1920 rows of sub-pixels along the first direction, when the current display refresh rate is 60 Hz, the second driving unit 320 progressively scans 2 rows of first color sub-pixels 401 and 2 rows of second color sub-pixels 402 along the first direction at a time, and the alternating frequency is 480 times per frame. When the current display refresh rate is 30 Hz, the second driving unit 320 can progressively scan 4 rows of first color sub-pixels 401 and 4 rows of second color sub-pixels 402 along the first direction at a time, and the alternating frequency is 240 times per frame.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the frequency of writing the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 and the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 alternately may not only be related to the display refresh rate, but may also be related to the number of the first color sub-pixels 401 and the second color sub-pixels 402 in a column of sub-pixels along the first direction. Assume that along the first direction, the display substrate has a preset number of rows of first color sub-pixels 401 and second color sub-pixels 402. In some optional embodiments, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold, the frequency of writing the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 and the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 alternately by the first driving unit 310 may be equal to half of the product of the current display refresh rate and the preset number of rows.
[0077] In some optional implementations, the purpose of changing the scanning timing of each row of sub-pixels can be achieved by adjusting the timing position of the start signal (STV) and / or the clock signal (CLK) period and adjusting the shift period of the odd and even rows GOA.
[0078] For example, the shift period of the GOA for odd / even rows can be set to 2 row times respectively, so that the sub-pixels in the odd / even rows can be refreshed in sequence. The shift period of the GOA for odd / even rows can also be adjusted to 1 row time, so that the odd rows are refreshed first and the even rows are refreshed later.
[0079] Figure 4 FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a pixel array of a display substrate 400 in another embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 4 As shown, in some optional implementations, the present application considers setting the RGB arrangement along the first direction, so that the display driver 300 can dynamically adjust the number of GOA scanning lines and the gamma voltage switching frequency of the three sub-pixels according to the dynamic and static state or refresh rate of the display screen. To this end, in an optional implementation, the present application also provides a display driver 300, such as Figure 4 As shown, any column of sub-pixels arranged along the first direction further includes: a plurality of third color sub-pixels 403, which are arranged alternately with the plurality of first color sub-pixels 401 and the plurality of second color sub-pixels 402. The gamma voltage further includes: a third gamma voltage.
[0080] Combination Figure 1As shown, the first driving unit 310 is also configured to, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold and the current display frame data changes, alternately write the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 in a column of sub-pixels, write the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 in the column of sub-pixels, and write the third gamma voltage to the third color sub-pixel 403 in the column of sub-pixels row by row along the first direction within the time of one display frame.
[0081] The second driving unit 320 is further configured to, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is not higher than the first preset refresh rate threshold or the current display frame data remains unchanged for a preset number of consecutive frames, alternately write the first gamma voltage row by row to at least every two first color sub-pixels 401 in a column of sub-pixels, write the second gamma voltage row by row to at least every two second color sub-pixels 402 in the column of sub-pixels, and write the third gamma voltage row by row to at least every two third color sub-pixels 403 in the column of sub-pixels in a first direction within the time of one display frame.
[0082] The first gamma voltage may be a data voltage that enables the third color sub-pixel 403 to emit light according to a set light intensity.
[0083] In some optional implementations, the present application considers setting the RGB arrangement along the second direction, and the second direction intersects with the first direction. Therefore, the display driver device 300 can dynamically adjust the number of GOA scanning lines and the switching frequency of the gamma voltage of the two sub-pixels according to the dynamic and static state or refresh rate of the display screen, thereby further reducing the analog power consumption of the display driver chip. To this end, in an optional implementation, the present application also provides a display driver device 300, Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a structural block diagram of a display driving device in another embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the sub-pixels further include: a plurality of third color sub-pixels 403. In any row of sub-pixels arranged along the second direction, the first color sub-pixels 401, the second color sub-pixels 402 and the third color sub-pixels 403 are arranged alternately. The second direction intersects the first direction. The gamma voltage further includes: a third gamma voltage.
[0084] The display driving device 300 further includes:
[0085] The third driving unit 330 is configured to write a third gamma voltage to the third color sub-pixel 403 within a display frame.
[0086] In order to facilitate the GOA driving circuit to implement row-by-row scanning along the first direction, in some optional embodiments, the number of rows of the third gamma voltage written to the third color sub-pixel 403 by the third driving unit 330 each time is the same as the number of rows of the first gamma voltage written to the first color sub-pixel 401 each time or the number of rows of the second gamma voltage written to the second color sub-pixel 402 each time.
[0087] Exemplarily, assuming that the third color sub-pixel 403 is arranged in the same row as the first color sub-pixel 401 along the second direction, when the first color sub-pixel 401 is scanned and the first gamma voltage is written, the third color sub-pixel 403 is also synchronously scanned and the third gamma voltage is written. Assuming that the third color sub-pixel 403 is arranged in the same row as the second color sub-pixel 402 along the second direction, when the second color sub-pixel 402 is scanned and the second gamma voltage is written, the third color sub-pixel 403 is also synchronously scanned and the third gamma voltage is written.
[0088] In order to realize RGB combined light emission, in an optional implementation, the light emission colors of the first color sub-pixel 401 , the second color sub-pixel 402 , and the third color sub-pixel 403 may include: red, green, and blue.
[0089] In an optional implementation, the luminous color of the first color sub-pixel 401 may include red, the luminous color of the second color sub-pixel 402 may include blue, and the luminous color of the third color sub-pixel 403 may include green.
[0090] Figure 6 FIG. 2 shows a structural block diagram of a display driving device 300 in another embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the present application also considers that the display driver device 300 detects and determines the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400. To this end, in an optional implementation, the present application also provides a display driver device 300, further comprising:
[0091] The first detection unit 341 is configured to obtain a current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 and detect whether the current display refresh rate is higher than a first preset refresh rate threshold.
[0092] Figure 7 FIG. 2 shows a structural block diagram of a display driving device 300 in another embodiment provided by the present application. Figure 7As shown, the embodiment of the present application can not only directly judge the dynamic and static state of the display screen according to whether the current display frame data changes, thereby selecting the number of alternating rows driven by the GOA scan, but also consider that the display driver device 300 dynamically adjusts the display refresh rate according to whether the display frame data changes, so as to further reduce the energy consumption of the display device. To this end, in an optional implementation, the present application also provides a display driver device 300, further comprising:
[0093] The second detection unit 342 is configured to obtain current display frame data.
[0094] The processing unit 350 is configured to reduce the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 to no higher than a second preset refresh rate threshold when the current display frame data has a continuous preset number of frames unchanged, until the current display frame data changes;
[0095] Among them, the second preset refresh rate threshold is smaller than the first preset refresh rate threshold.
[0096] Exemplarily, the preset number of frames may be 10 frames, the second preset refresh rate threshold may be 30 Hz, and the first preset refresh rate threshold may be 60 Hz.
[0097] Under more extreme display conditions, such as when the display substrate displays a static image or the display refresh rate is low enough, the possibility of screen tearing is further reduced. The embodiment of the present application also considers scanning the second color sub-pixels 402 after scanning any column of first color sub-pixels 401 arranged along the first direction, or scanning the first color sub-pixels 401 after scanning any column of second color sub-pixels 402 arranged along the first direction. To this end, in an optional embodiment, the present application also provides a display driving device 300, wherein the second driving unit 320 is further configured to, when the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is lower than the second preset refresh rate threshold or the current display frame data has a constant number of consecutive preset frames, successively perform one of the following within a display frame: write the first gamma voltage row by row to all the first color sub-pixels 401 in a column of sub-pixels, and write the second gamma voltage row by row to all the second color sub-pixels 402 in the column of sub-pixels.
[0098] Among them, the second preset refresh rate threshold is smaller than the first preset refresh rate threshold.
[0099] Exemplarily, the second preset refresh rate threshold may be 10 Hz.
[0100] When the current display refresh rate of the display substrate 400 is lower than the second preset refresh rate threshold, the first driving unit 310 may alternately write the first gamma voltage to the first color sub-pixel 401 and the second gamma voltage to the second color sub-pixel 402 at a frequency equal to the current display refresh rate. That is, the alternation is performed only once in each display frame, thereby minimizing the analog power consumption of the display driving chip.
[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present application considers using a GOA driving circuit to realize row scanning. To this end, in some optional implementations, the present application also provides a display driving device 300, wherein the display substrate 400 further includes: a plurality of transistor switches corresponding to a plurality of sub-pixels one by one. The display driving device 300 also includes: a GOA driving circuit.
[0102] The GOA driving circuit includes: a first sub-circuit G1 and a second sub-circuit G2.
[0103] The first sub-circuit G1 or the second sub-circuit G2 may be a cascade circuit.
[0104] The first sub-circuit G1 is electrically connected to the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels arranged along the first direction, and is configured to control the on or off of transistor switches of the odd-numbered rows of sub-pixels according to a control instruction of the display driving device 300 .
[0105] The second sub-circuit G2 is electrically connected to the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels arranged along the first direction, and is configured to control the on or off of transistor switches of the even-numbered rows of sub-pixels according to a control instruction of the display driving device 300 .
[0106] Through the above embodiments, the display driver provided by the present application adjusts the GOA drive signal. Under the condition of high refresh frequency, each display frame only drives sub-pixels of one color in the first half frame or the second half frame, and the GOA is driven sequentially. Under the condition of low refresh frequency, the GOA is driven alternately. This can reduce the analog power consumption of the driver IC at low refresh frequency, and ensure that there is no visible tearing feeling when displaying dynamic images at high refresh rate, thereby maximizing the display effect and energy efficiency of the display device.
