Description

Display method of display panel, display panel and display device Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display method of a display panel, a display panel, and a display device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of display panel technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the refresh rate of display panels. A high refresh rate that can support entertainment mode while meeting users' normal viewing needs effectively improves the functionality of display panels.

This can increase the refresh time of a single pixel or double the refresh rate of the entire display panel while keeping the refresh time of a single pixel unchanged. It is a technology that effectively doubles the refresh rate without increasing costs.

[0074] To further clarify the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that in the drawings, the thicknesses of layers, films, panels, regions, etc. are exaggerated for clarity. In this disclosure, exemplary embodiments are described with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic representations of idealized embodiments. As such, deviations from the shapes shown in the drawings are to be expected, for example, as a result of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the embodiments described in this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown in this disclosure, but rather include deviations in shape resulting from, for example, manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or nonlinear features; a sharp angle illustrated may be rounded, etc. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their sizes and shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shapes of the regions or reflect true scale, but are intended solely to illustrate the present disclosure. Throughout, identical or similar reference numerals denote identical or similar elements or elements having identical or similar functions. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.

[0075] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in the present disclosure and the claims do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Inside", "outside", "upper", "lower" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0076] In the following description, when an element or layer is referred to as being “on” or “connected to” another element or layer, the element or layer may be directly on, directly connected to, the other element or layer, or there may be intermediate elements or intermediate layers. When an element or layer is referred to as being “disposed on one side of” another element or layer, the element or layer may be directly on, directly connected to, the other element or layer, or there may be intermediate elements or intermediate layers. However, when an element or layer is referred to as being “directly on” or “directly connected to” another element or layer, there are no intermediate elements or intermediate layers. The term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0077] In DLG mode, since two rows of gate lines are turned on at the same time, the corresponding two pixels will write the same data, resulting in the actual display resolution being halved, making the jagged edges of the displayed graphics more obvious. Taking the display panel with a single gate pixel architecture shown in Figure 1 showing a red diagonal line screen as an example, in Figure 1, a data line (for example, d1 to d18) is electrically connected to a column of sub-pixels (for example, red sub-pixels R, green sub-pixels G, and blue sub-pixels B), and a gate line (for example, G1 to G6) is electrically connected to a row of sub-pixels (for example, red sub-pixels R, green sub-pixels G, and blue sub-pixels B), and each adjacent red sub-pixel R, green sub-pixel G, and blue sub-pixel B along the row direction constitutes a pixel. Figure 2 is a gate line scanning timing diagram of the pixel area in DLG mode, and Figure 3 is a display effect diagram corresponding to the gate line scanning timing shown in Figure 2. The pattern-filled red sub-pixels in Figure 3 constitute the red diagonal line screen. Combining Figures 2 and 3, it can be seen that in the DLG mode, the scanning timing of the first gate line G1 and the second gate line G2 is the same, the scanning timing of the third gate line G3 and the fourth gate line G4 is the same, the scanning timing of the fifth gate line G5 and the sixth gate line G6 is the same, and so on; so that the red sub-pixels displaying the red oblique line picture in the first row of pixels and the second row of pixels controlled by the first gate line G1 and the second gate line G2 are written with the same first data D1, the red sub-pixels displaying the red oblique line picture in the third row of pixels and the fourth row of pixels controlled by the third gate line G3 and the fourth gate line G4 are written with the same second data D3, the red sub-pixels displaying the red oblique line picture in the fifth row of pixels and the sixth row of pixels controlled by the fifth gate line G5 and the sixth gate line G6 are written with the same third data D5, and so on. As a result, the actual resolution of the red oblique line picture is halved, and the edge jaggedness is more obvious.

[0078] In order to improve the above technical problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display method of a display panel. FIG4 is a flow chart of the display method of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] As shown in FIG4 , the display method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps:

[0080] S401 : Receive multiple frames of first display data, where the resolution of the first display data is the same as the resolution of the display panel.

[0081] In some embodiments, the resolution of the first display data and the resolution of the display panel may be 4K2K, etc. The first display data with a 4K2K resolution includes 3840x2160 data, and the display panel with a 4K2K resolution includes 3840x2160 sub-pixels.

[0082] S402. In a dual-row driving mode, the number of rows of the first display data of each frame is compressed by half and then used as the second display data of each frame, and the second display data of some frames are output to the display panel for screen display, and the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames are shifted by at least one pixel along the row direction and then output to the display panel for screen display; wherein, at least one frame in the partial frames and at least one frame in the remaining frames are output alternately.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second display data of the odd frame can be directly output to the display panel for screen display, and the second display data of the even frame can be shifted by at least one pixel in the row direction and then output to the display panel for display; alternatively, the second display data of multiple consecutive frames (for example, 2 consecutive frames, 3 frames, etc.) can be output to the display panel for screen display, and then the second display data of multiple consecutive frames (for example, 2 consecutive frames, 3 frames, etc.) can be shifted by at least one pixel in the row direction and then output to the display panel for display.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames is shifted along the row direction by at least one pixel and then output to the display panel for image display. Specifically, the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames can be shifted along the row direction (for example, shifted to the left, that is, shifted toward the first column of pixels; or shifted to the right, that is, shifted toward the last column of pixels) by one or two pixels and then output to the display panel for image display to avoid excessive blurring of the edge of the image.

[0085] In some embodiments, after the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames is shifted leftward (i.e., shifted toward the first column of sub-pixels) by one or two pixels, the second display data of the first to last pixel or the first to second to last pixel is missing. In this case, L0 grayscale data may be written to the first to last pixel or the first to second to last pixel, or the second display data of the third to last pixel may be written to the first to last pixel or the first to second to last pixel. Similarly, after the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames is shifted rightward (i.e., shifted toward the last column of sub-pixels) by one or two pixels, the second display data of the first pixel or the first to second to last pixel is missing. In this case, L0 grayscale data may be written to the first pixel or the first to second to last pixel, or the second display data of the third pixel may be written to the first pixel or the first to second to last pixel. Since the first two pixels and the first two pixels from the end are located at the edge of display area AA, and the effective display image (i.e., the display image that conveys effective information such as images or text) generally does not completely fill display area AA, writing the L0 grayscale or the grayscale data of the third and third-to-last pixels has little impact on the overall display effect. Based on this, in some embodiments, the present disclosure does not require additional data to be added for the first two pixels and the first two pixels from the end where the second display data is missing.

[0086] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by adopting a data writing method in which the number of rows of the first display data of each frame is compressed by half as the second display data of each frame in a dual-row driving mode, and the second display data of some frames is directly output to the display panel, and the second display data of at least one frame of the remaining frames is shifted and then output to the display panel, it is possible to achieve the effect that the edge pixels of the display graphics are actually displayed as data interpolation of the surrounding pixels (for example, left and right adjacent pixels), making the edge transition smoother, thereby improving the edge jagged problem.

[0087] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the above-mentioned step S402, the number of rows of the first display data of each frame is compressed by half and used as the second display data of each frame. Specifically, the odd-numbered rows of data of the first display data of each frame can be used as the second display data of each frame, or the even-numbered rows of data of the first display data of each frame can be used as the second display data of each frame, or the odd-numbered and even-numbered rows of data of the first display data of each frame can be interpolated as the second display data of each frame.

[0088] Optionally, the interpolation of the odd and even row data of the first display data may be calculated according to the following formula:

[0089] D iz =O iz ×q+E iz ×(1-q), or, D iz =(O iz +E iz ) / 2; where 0≤q≤1, D iz

[0090] is the zth (z is a positive integer) data of the ith (i is a positive integer) row in the second display data, O iz is the zth data in the (2i-1)th row of the first display data, E iz It is the zth data in the 2ith row in the first display data.

[0091] For the single-gate display panel shown in Figure 1, the data in each odd-numbered row of the first display data of each frame is used as the second display data of each frame. The second display data of the odd-numbered frame is directly output to the display panel for displaying a red diagonal image, while the second display data of the even-numbered frame is shifted one pixel to the left and then output to the display panel for displaying a red diagonal image. Figure 5 shows the red diagonal image corresponding to the first display data, Figure 6 shows the red diagonal image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame, Figure 7 shows the red diagonal image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame, and Figure 8 shows the overlay of the red diagonal image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame and the red diagonal image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame. The red sub-pixels filled with the respective patterns in Figures 5 to 8 constitute the red diagonal image. As can be seen from Figures 6 to 8, the odd-numbered frames are written with the original odd-numbered row data, while the even-numbered frames are written with the original odd-numbered row data shifted one pixel to the left. The overlay of the two results in the display edge pixels actually appearing as interpolated data from adjacent pixels on the left and right, resulting in smoother edge transitions and effectively improving edge aliasing.

[0092] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned display method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the DLG mode, the two gate lines driven simultaneously may be: in each frame time, the nth and (n+m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N / 2, m is a positive integer less than or equal to 3, and N is the total number of gate lines. Exemplarily, the gate line scanning timing corresponding to FIG6 is shown in FIG9, and the gate line scanning timing corresponding to FIG7 is shown in FIG10. As can be seen from FIG9 and FIG10, the scanning timing of the first gate line G1 and the second gate line G2 is the same, the scanning timing of the third gate line G3 and the fourth gate line G4 is the same, the scanning timing of the fifth gate line G5 and the sixth gate line G6 is the same, and so on.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the DLG mode, the two gate lines driven simultaneously may be: the nth and (n+m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in one of the partial frame and the remaining frame time, and the (n+m)th and (n+2m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in the other time; for example, the nth and (n+m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in the partial frame time, and the (n+m)th and (n+2m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in the remaining frame time; for another example, the nth and (n+m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in the remaining frame time, and the (n+m)th and (n+2m)th gate lines are driven simultaneously in the partial frame time; wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N / 2, m is a positive integer less than or equal to 3, and N is the total number of gate lines.

[0094] For example, as shown in FIG9 , the nth and (n+1)th gate lines are driven simultaneously during the odd-numbered frame time; as shown in FIG11 , the (n+1)th and (n+2)th gate lines are driven simultaneously during the even-numbered frame time. The red oblique line diagram corresponding to FIG9 is FIG6 , the red oblique line diagram corresponding to FIG11 is FIG12 , and FIG13 is a superposition diagram of FIG6 and FIG12 , where D12, D32, and D52 of FIG11 correspond to R12, R32, and R52 of FIG12 , respectively. And. As can be seen from FIG6 , FIG12 and FIG13 , by superimposing the odd and even frames, an interpolation effect is exhibited for the adjacent upper and lower and left and right pixel points of the edge pixel points of the displayed graphics, the edge smoothing effect is better, and the effect of improving the edge jaggedness is better.

[0095] Figure 14 shows a display panel with a dual-gate pixel architecture. One data line (e.g., d1-d10) is electrically connected to two columns of subpixels (e.g., red subpixels R, green subpixels G, and blue subpixels B), and one gate line (e.g., G1-G12) is electrically connected to a row of subpixels (e.g., red subpixels R, green subpixels G, and blue subpixels B). Along the row, each adjacent red subpixel R, green subpixel G, and blue subpixel B constitutes a pixel. Comparing Figures 1 and 14, it can be seen that the number of gate lines (e.g., G1-G12) is doubled compared to a display panel with a single-gate pixel architecture, while the number of data lines (e.g., d1-d10) is halved. Therefore, one data line must simultaneously connect to two columns of subpixels in a corresponding row of pixels.

[0096] In the DLG mode, the red oblique line picture displayed by the display panel of the dual gate pixel architecture is shown in Figure 15, and the corresponding gate line scanning timing is shown in Figure 16. The red sub-pixels filled with the pattern in Figure 15 constitute the red oblique line picture. Combining Figures 15 and 16, it can be seen that the odd-numbered gate line scanning timings are identical in pairs, and the even-numbered gate line scanning timings are identical in pairs. For example, the scanning timings of the first gate line G1 and the third gate line G3 are identical, the scanning timings of the second gate line G2 and the fourth gate line G4 are identical, and so on. Similarly, since the data of two adjacent pixel rows in the DLG mode are the same, the actual resolution is halved and the edge jaggedness is more obvious.

[0097] The above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively improve the edge jagged problem. Specifically: for the dual gate display panel shown in Figure 14, take the data of each odd-numbered row of the first display data of each frame as the second display data of each frame, and the second display data of the odd-numbered frame is directly output to the display panel for red oblique line screen display, and the second display data of the even-numbered frame is shifted one pixel to the left and then output to the display panel for red oblique line screen display as an example. Figure 17 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the first display data, Figure 18 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame, Figure 19 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame, and Figure 20 is an overlay of the red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame and the red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame. The red sub-pixels filled with the respective patterns in Figures 17 to 20 constitute the red oblique line image. As can be seen from Figures 18 to 20, the odd frames write the data corresponding to the original odd rows, and the even frames write the data corresponding to the original odd rows shifted one pixel to the left. The two are superimposed, and the edge pixels of the displayed graphics are actually displayed as the interpolation effect of the data of the adjacent pixels on the left and right, making the edge transition smoother, thereby effectively improving the edge jagged problem.

[0098] In certain embodiments, the gate line driving timing that the red oblique line figure shown in Figure 18 corresponds to can be as shown in Figure 21, and the gate line driving timing that the red oblique line figure shown in Figure 19 corresponds to can be as shown in Figure 22.As can be seen from Figure 21 and Figure 22, drive the nth and (n+2)th gate lines simultaneously in each frame time.In certain embodiments, the disclosure also can drive the nth and (n+2)th gate lines simultaneously in the odd-numbered frame time as shown in Figure 21, but as shown in Figure 23, drive the (n+2)th and (n+4)th gate lines simultaneously in the even-numbered frame time.The red oblique line figure that Figure 23 corresponds to is Figure 24, and Figure 25 is the superposition diagram of Figure 18 and Figure 24.As can be seen from Figure 18, Figure 24 and Figure 25, by the superposition of odd and even two frames, all present interpolation effect for the adjacent upper and lower and left and right pixel points of display pattern edge pixel point, edge smoothing effect is better, and edge sawtooth improvement effect is better.

[0099] Figure 26 shows a display panel with a triple-gate pixel architecture. Along the column direction, each adjacent red sub-pixel R, green sub-pixel G, and blue sub-pixel B constitutes a pixel. One data line (e.g., d1-d6) is electrically connected to a column of sub-pixels (e.g., red sub-pixel R, green sub-pixel G, blue sub-pixel B), and one gate line (e.g., G1-G12) is electrically connected to a row of sub-pixels (e.g., red sub-pixel R, green sub-pixel G, blue sub-pixel B). Comparing Figure 1 with Figure 26, it can be seen that the number of gate lines (e.g., G1-G12) is tripled compared to a single-gate display panel, while the number of data lines (e.g., d1-d6) is reduced to one-third. Consequently, one data line connects to three sub-pixels in the same column.

[0100] In DLG mode, the gate line scanning timing of the display panel with a triple gate pixel architecture is shown in Figure 27, and the corresponding red oblique line picture is shown in Figure 28. The red sub-pixels filled with the pattern in Figure 28 constitute the red oblique line picture. Combining Figures 27 and 28, it can be seen that the scanning timing of the nth and (n+3)th gate lines is the same. For example, the scanning timing of the first gate line G1 and the fourth gate line G4 is the same, the scanning timing of the second gate line G2 and the fifth gate line G5 is the same, the scanning timing of the third gate line G3 and the sixth gate line G6 is the same, and so on. Similarly, since the data of two adjacent pixel rows in the DLG mode is the same, the actual resolution is halved and the edge jaggedness is more obvious.

[0101] The above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can effectively improve the edge jagged problem. Specifically: for the triple gate display panel shown in Figure 26, take the data of each odd-numbered row of the first display data of each frame as the second display data of each frame, and the second display data of the odd-numbered frame is directly output to the display panel for red oblique line screen display, and the second display data of the even-numbered frame is shifted one pixel to the left and then output to the display panel for red oblique line screen display as an example. Figure 29 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the first display data, Figure 30 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame, Figure 31 is a red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame, and Figure 32 is an overlay of the red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the odd-numbered frame and the red oblique line image corresponding to the second display data of the even-numbered frame. The red sub-pixels filled with the respective patterns in Figures 29 to 32 constitute the red oblique line image. As can be seen from Figures 30 to 32, the odd-numbered frames write the data corresponding to the original odd-numbered rows, and the even-numbered frames write the data corresponding to the original odd-numbered rows shifted one pixel to the left. The two are superimposed, and the edge pixels of the displayed graphics are actually displayed as the interpolation effect of the data of the adjacent pixels on the left and right, making the edge transition smoother, thereby effectively improving the edge jagged problem.

[0102] In certain embodiments, the gate line driving timing that the red oblique line figure shown in Figure 30 corresponds to can be as shown in Figure 33, and the gate line driving timing that the red oblique line figure shown in Figure 31 corresponds to can be as shown in Figure 34.As seen from Figure 33 and Figure 34, can drive nth and (n+3)th gate line simultaneously in each frame time.In certain embodiments, the present disclosure also can drive nth and (n+3)th gate line simultaneously in odd frame time as shown in Figure 33, but drives (n+3)th and (n+6)th gate line simultaneously in even frame time, as shown in Figure 35.The red oblique line figure that Figure 36 corresponds to is Figure 35, and Figure 37 is the superposition diagram of Figure 30 and Figure 36.As seen from Figure 30, Figure 36 and Figure 37, by the superposition of odd and even two frames, all present interpolation effect for the adjacent upper and lower and left and right pixel points of display pattern edge pixel point, edge smoothing effect is better, and edge jaggedness is improved better.

[0103] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned display method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 6, 7, 9 to 12, 18, 19, 21 to 24, 30, 31, and 33 to 36, while driving two gate lines of the same gate line group, the second display data is written into sub-pixels of the same color. For example, in Figures 18 and 21, the first gate line G1 and the third gate line G3 are turned on at the same time, and at this time, the two sub-pixels corresponding to the first gate line G1 and the third gate line G3 connected to the same data line have the same color, so that the same second display data (e.g., D11) is written into two red sub-pixels.

[0104] In some embodiments, in the above display method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG4 , it may further include step S403 , directly outputting each frame of first display data to the display panel for image display in a row-by-row driving mode.
