Display driving method, display device and equipment
[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202410451820.6 filed on April 15, 2024, and entitled "A display driving method, display device and equipment", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of electronics, and in particular to a display driving method, display device and equipment. BACKGROUND
[0003] The traditional refresh mode of a display device is full-screen refresh, so when only part of the area of the display device needs to update the picture, the driving circuit still needs to perform full-screen picture refresh on the display device, thereby causing power waste. At present, with the continuous development and evolution of display technology, people are seeking high refresh frequency on one hand and trying to reduce the power consumption of the display device on the other hand. In order to meet both needs, the partition variable frequency technology is born. According to whether the picture of the display device needs to be updated, the partition variable frequency technology determines whether the driving circuit performs data writing on the display device. Specifically, when part of the area of the display device needs to update the picture, the driving circuit performs data writing on the part of the area, and for other areas that do not need picture update, the driving circuit does not perform data writing, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving circuit.
[0004] However, in the process of refreshing the display device by using the partition variable frequency technology, two adjacent partitions corresponding to different refresh frequencies will have display problems at the partition boundary, such as bright line problems at the partition boundary, thereby affecting the display effect and reducing the user experience. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application provides a display driving method, display device and equipment, which are used to solve the display problems at the partition boundary of partitions with different refresh frequencies during partition refresh, and improve the display effect.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0007] In a first aspect, a display driving method is provided, which is applied to a display device including a driving circuit and a display screen. The display screen includes a first display region and a second display region adjacent to each other. The first display region has a refresh period greater than that of the second display region, i.e., the first display region has a refresh frequency less than that of the second display region. The first refresh period of the first display region includes a holding frame, and the second refresh period of the second display region includes a first write frame. The first write frame overlaps the holding frame in time sequence. The method includes: outputting, by the driving circuit, a data signal to the first display region and the second display region. The data signal is used to provide a holding voltage and a data voltage. For example, the holding voltage is a low voltage, and the data voltage is a high voltage. The data voltage is used to provide data for the second display region, and the holding voltage is used for data holding of the first display region. The data signal is converted to the data voltage at a first time point in the holding frame. For example, the data signal is converted from the holding voltage to the data voltage at the first time point, or the data signal is gradually converted from the holding voltage to the data voltage and is converted to the data voltage at the first time point. The driving circuit outputs a first selection signal to the second display region. The first selection signal is converted at a second time point in the first write frame. The conversion of the first selection signal can mean that the first selection signal is converted from a high voltage to a low voltage. The conversion of the first selection signal is used to control the second display region to implement data writing in the first write frame according to the data voltage. The first time point is earlier than the second time point.
[0008] In the above technical solution, in the process of partition refresh of the first display region and the second display region, for the holding frame in the i-th refresh period of the first display region, the data signal output by the driving circuit provides a data voltage at a first time point in the holding frame. The data voltage is used to provide data for the second display region. The first selection signal output by the driving circuit is converted at a second time point in the first write frame. The conversion of the first selection signal is used to control the second display region to implement data writing in the first write frame according to the data voltage. The first time point is earlier than the second time point. That is, the driving circuit provides data for the second display region in advance in the holding frame, so that the disturbance of the power signal VDD occurs before data writing. Thus, the voltage of the power signal VDD can be restored to a normal voltage at the time of data writing, thereby solving the problem of bright lines at the partition boundary in the process of partition refresh of the first display region and the second display region, and further improving the display effect and user experience.
[0009] In any possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to a region in the second display region that is written first. For example, the first selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to a region in the second display region adjacent to the first display region and written first. The above possible implementation manner can solve the problem of bright lines in the region in the second display region adjacent to the first display region.
[0010] In any possible implementation form of the first aspect, the first display area comprises a plurality of first pixel rows, the second display area comprises a plurality of second pixel rows, and the plurality of first pixel rows are located before the plurality of second pixel rows. Optionally, the first selection signal can be a selection signal corresponding to a pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows that is adjacent to the first display area and is written first, such as a selection signal of a first pixel row of the plurality of second pixel rows. The above possible implementation form can solve the problem of bright lines in one or more second pixel rows of the second display area that are adjacent to the first display area.
[0011] In any possible implementation form of the first aspect, a time difference between the first time and the second time is between 1 unit time and 100 unit times, the unit time being a scanning time length of a single pixel row. In the above possible implementation form, the disturbance of the power supply signal VDD occurs before data writing, and the voltage of the power supply signal VDD is restored to a normal voltage at the time of data writing, thereby solving the problem of bright lines at the partition boundary in the process of partition refresh of the first display area and the second display area.
[0012] In any possible implementation form of the first aspect, the first refresh period of the first display area comprises a second writing frame, the data voltage is further used to provide data for the first display area, and the data signal is further changed to provide the data voltage at a third time before the second writing frame; the method further comprises: the driving circuit outputs a second selection signal to the first display area, the second selection signal jumps at a fourth time of the second writing frame, the jump of the second selection signal is used to control the first display area to realize data writing in the second writing frame according to the data voltage, and the third time is earlier than the fourth time. Optionally, a time difference between the third time and the fourth time is between 1 unit time and 100 unit times. In the above possible implementation form, the driving circuit provides data for the first display area in advance before the second writing frame, so that the disturbance of the power supply signal VDD occurs before data writing, so that the voltage of the power supply signal VDD can be restored to a normal voltage at the time of data writing, thereby solving the problem of bright lines at the boundary of the first display area.
[0013] In any possible implementation form of the first aspect, the second selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to a region of the first display area that is written first. For example, the first display area comprises a plurality of first pixel rows, and the second selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to a first pixel row of the plurality of first pixel rows. The above possible implementation form can solve the problem of bright lines at the boundary of the first display area.

Rather, the exemplary or for example embodiments are presented so as to enable a clear and concise disclosure of the application.
[0052] Before introducing the embodiments of the present application, first, the application scenarios involved in the present application are introduced and explained.
[0053] The traditional refresh mode of the display device is full-screen refresh. When only part of the display area of the display device needs to be updated, the driving circuit still needs to perform full-screen refresh on the display device, thereby causing power waste. Currently, display technology is continuously developing and evolving. People are seeking high refresh frequency while trying to reduce the power consumption of the display device. In order to meet both requirements, the partition variable frequency technology is born. According to whether the picture of the display device needs to be updated, the driving circuit determines whether to perform data writing on the display device. Specifically, when part of the picture of the display device needs to be updated, the driving circuit performs data writing on the part of the display area. For other areas that do not need picture update, the driving circuit does not perform data writing, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving circuit.
[0054] For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the display screen of the display device includes display area A, display area B and display area C in sequence. The three display areas can be used to display pictures or contents with different refresh frequencies. For example, display area A can be used to display a title bar, display area B can be used to display a display window for video playing, and display area C can be used to display a comment area. The refresh frame rate of display area A and display area C is 40 Hz, and the refresh frequency of display area B is 120 Hz. In FIG. 1, if the traditional refresh mode is used, the refresh mode of the display device is full-screen refresh at 120 Hz, that is, display area A, display area B and display area C all use 120 Hz to write data. If the partition refresh mode is used, display area B uses 120 Hz to write data, and display area A and display area C use 40 Hz to write data. Therefore, the partition variable frequency refresh can greatly reduce the invalid operation of the driving circuit and reduce the power consumption.
[0055] The display area corresponding to any of the above refresh frequencies can work in a plurality of refresh periods. Each refresh period in the plurality of refresh periods can be referred to as a frame time. Each refresh period can include a write frame, or each refresh period can include a write frame and one or more hold frames. The write frame is used to write data in the corresponding display area, and the hold frame is used to maintain the data display of the corresponding display area. Optionally, the refresh period includes a write frame; or the refresh period includes a write frame and a plurality of hold frames, which are located after the write frame.
[0056] For example, in the scenario of partition refresh, if the refresh period of the display area with low refresh frequency is 1 / 40, and the refresh period is equal to 3 times of the refresh period of the display area with 120 Hz refresh, as shown in FIG. 2, when the refresh period is divided into three time periods, each of which is 1 / 120, in the first 1 / 120 time period, the whole screen of the display is written with data, and the pixel circuit in the display is written and stored with correct data, which can be referred to as a write frame; in the second 1 / 120 and third 1 / 120 time periods, the display area A and the display area C are no longer written with data, and the display area B continues to be written and stored with data, each of the two time periods can be referred to as a hold frame. In FIG. 2, the data signal DA output by the driving circuit is high in the write frame, and is high when refreshing the display area B in the hold frame, and is low when not refreshing the display area B in the hold frame. In this way, the refresh period of the display area with 40 Hz refresh can be composed of one write frame and two hold frames, and the low level of the data signal DA output by the driving circuit in the two hold frames can be a High-z signal or a direct current (DC) signal, without alternating current (AC) change of the signal, thereby saving a part of power consumption. The High-z signal can also be referred to as a Hi-z signal, which means that the voltage is 0 or close to 0, such as a signal of 100 mV, at this time, the state of the display area can also be referred to as a floating state.
[0057] However, in the process of partition refresh of the display device by using the partition variable frequency technology, two partitions adjacent to each other and corresponding to different refresh frequencies will have display problems at the partition boundary, such as bright line problems at the partition boundary, thereby affecting the display effect and reducing the user experience. For example, in the partition refresh shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. 3, bright line problems will occur at the partition boundary between the display area A and the display area B in the process of partition refresh.
[0058] The reasons for the display problems at the partition boundary in the process of partition refresh are explained and described below by using the display device shown in FIG. 4 and the waveforms of the signals in the refresh period shown in FIG. 5.
[0059] FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The display device includes a driving circuit and a display screen, the display screen includes a pixel array, the pixel array includes a plurality of rows and columns of pixel units, the pixel units can be referred to as pixel circuits, and are simply referred to as pixels. The plurality of rows and columns of pixel units can also be referred to as a plurality of pixel rows and a plurality of pixel columns. The driving circuit is configured to provide a data signal for each of a plurality of pixel columns in the pixel array, and provide a selection signal for each of a plurality of pixel rows in the pixel array; and each of the plurality of pixel arrays is further configured to receive a power signal VDD, which can be used to power each pixel. Optionally, the plurality of pixel rows in the display screen can be divided into a plurality of display regions, each display region can include a plurality of adjacent pixel rows, and the plurality of display regions can have different refresh frequencies.
[0060] In FIG. 4, the data signals corresponding to the plurality of pixel columns are denoted as DA1 to DAm, and the selection signals corresponding to the plurality of pixel rows are denoted as S1 to Sn, m and n are integers greater than 1. Optionally, the driving circuit can include a display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) and a gate driver on array (GOA) circuit, the DDIC can be used to provide a plurality of data signals DA1 to DAm, and the GOA circuit can be used to provide a plurality of selection signals S1 to Sn.
[0061] Taking the partition refresh shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as an example, under the structure of the display device shown in FIG. 4, the waveforms of the data signal DA, the power signal VDD and the selection signal S21 in the partition refresh process are shown in FIG. 5, and S21 represents the selection signal corresponding to the partition boundary between the display region A and the display region B. Specifically, in the first 1 / 120 time period of the refresh cycle corresponding to the refresh frequency of 40 Hz, that is, when entering the write frame, the full-screen refresh writes data, at this time, the data signal DA and the power signal VDD corresponding to the partition boundary between the display region A and the display region B are high, and the selection signal S21 jumps from high to low within the write frame to realize data writing; when entering the second 1 / 120 time period of the refresh cycle, the display region A and the display region C enter data retention, the corresponding data signal DA is low, and when data needs to be written in the display region B in this time period, the data signal DA jumps from low to high at this time, and the selection signal S21 also jumps from high to low in this time period to realize data writing in the display region B.
[0062] In the second 1 / 120 time period, the data signal DA jumps from low voltage to high voltage, which results in a large voltage difference. The capacitance of the pixel at the partition boundary and the pixel currently being written has a wiring overlap with the power signal VDD. The voltage difference pulls the voltage of the power signal VDD, which cannot recover to the correct voltage due to the load and power supply in the display screen. Therefore, the data thin film transistor (DTFT) in the pixel currently being written writes data when the voltage of the power signal VDD is abnormal. When the voltage of the power signal VDD recovers to the correct voltage after a period of time, the gate of the DTFT deviates from the data voltage, also known as the write voltage. As a result, the display is abnormal, and a bright line appears at the partition boundary.
[0063] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a display driving method, which is used to solve the display problem of the partition boundary of different refresh frequencies during partition refresh, and specifically used to solve the problem of the bright line of the partition boundary of different refresh frequencies, thereby improving the display effect and user experience. The method can be applied to various electronic devices with a display device, and the display device can include a driving circuit and a display screen.
[0064] Optionally, the electronic device can include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a mobile internet device (MID), a camera, a wearable device, a sound equipment, an audio and video player, a set-top box, a game console, a printer, a mouse, a keyboard, a vehicle-mounted device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a smart home device, a smart robot, a plant equipment, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in smart city, or a wireless terminal in smart home, a flight device, etc. For example, the wearable device includes a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, etc.; the vehicle-mounted device includes a device on a vehicle such as a car, an airplane, a ship, a train, and a high-speed rail; the smart home device includes a refrigerator, a television, an air conditioner, an electricity meter, etc.; the flight device includes a smart robot, a hot air balloon, a drone, an airplane, etc.

[0075] FIG. 7 is a flow diagram of a display driving method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to a display device including a driving circuit and a display screen including adjacent first and second display regions. The method includes the following steps.
[0076] S201: The driving circuit outputs a data signal to the first and second display regions, the data signal being used to provide a hold voltage and a data voltage, the data voltage being used to provide data for the second display region and the hold voltage being used for data retention of the first display region, the data signal being switched to provide the data voltage at a first time point of a first hold frame.
[0077] The display screen can include a plurality of display regions having different refresh frequencies, and the plurality of display regions can include at least the first and second display regions. The refresh frequency of the first display region is less than the refresh frequency of the second display region, so that the refresh period of the first display region is greater than the refresh period of the second display region. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, the display can include two display regions, the refresh frequency of the first display region being 60 Hz and the refresh frequency of the second display region being 120 Hz. Alternatively, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8, the display can include three display regions, the refresh frequency of the first and third display regions being 60 Hz and the refresh frequency of the second display region being 120 Hz, the second display region being located between the first and third display regions.
[0078] In addition, the first and second display regions can operate in a plurality of refresh periods, and the refresh period of the first display region is different from the refresh period of the second display region. For ease of description, any refresh period of the first display region is referred to as the ith refresh period of the first display region, and part of the refresh periods of the second display region is referred to as the jth refresh period of the second display region, i and j being positive integers. The value of i can be continuous, for example, the value of i can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The value of j can be discontinuous, for example, the value of j can be 2, 3, 5, 6, etc. The ith refresh period of the first display region can include a write frame and at least one hold frame, and the jth refresh period of the second display region can include a write frame. Any hold frame of the ith refresh period of the first display region is referred to as a first hold frame, and the write frame of the jth refresh period of the second display region is referred to as a first write frame. The first write frame overlaps the first hold frame in time sequence, i.e., the time period corresponding to the first write frame overlaps the time period corresponding to the first hold frame. The jth refresh period of the second display region described above can be a refresh period in which the write frame of the second display region overlaps the hold frame of the first display region in time sequence.
[0079] Further, the data signal can provide the hold voltage as a low level and the data voltage as a high level. In an example, the data signal can transition from providing the hold voltage to providing the data voltage, at which time the data signal can transition from a low level to a high level; the data signal can also transition from providing the data voltage to providing the hold voltage, at which time the data signal can transition from a high level to a low level.
[0080] In a possible embodiment, the driving circuit outputs a plurality of data signals to the first display region and the second display region, such as the plurality of data signals can include a data signal corresponding to each of a plurality of pixel columns of the first display region and the second display region, each of the plurality of data signals can be used to transition from providing the hold voltage to providing the data voltage at the first hold frame, and the data signal can transition to provide the data voltage at a first time of the first hold frame. Wherein the data voltage provided by the data signal at the first hold frame is used to provide data for the second display region, and the hold voltage provided by the data signal at the first hold frame is used for data hold of the first display region.
[0081] Optionally, a plurality of pixel rows in the pixel array included in the display screen can be divided into different display regions by rows. For example, the first display region includes a plurality of first pixel rows, the second display region includes a plurality of second pixel rows, and the plurality of first pixel rows are located before the plurality of second pixel rows.
[0082] S202: The driving circuit outputs a first selection signal to the second display region, the first selection signal jumps at a second time of the first write frame, the jump of the first selection signal is used to control the second display region to implement data writing at the first write frame according to the data voltage, and the first time is earlier than the second time.
[0083] Wherein, the driving circuit can output different selection signals to different display regions, or output different selection signals to different regions of the same display region. The first selection signal can be a selection signal output by the driving circuit to the second display region; optionally, the first selection signal can be a selection signal corresponding to a region of the second display region that is written first; or the first selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to a region of the second display region that is closer to the first display region. In an example, when the first display region includes a plurality of first pixel rows, the second display region includes a plurality of second pixel rows, and the plurality of first pixel rows are located before the plurality of second pixel rows, the first selection signal can be a selection signal corresponding to one or more second pixel rows of the plurality of second pixel rows that are written first, or the first selection signal is a selection signal corresponding to one or more second pixel rows of the plurality of second pixel rows that are closer to the first display region.
[0084] In addition, the jump of the first selection signal can refer to that the first selection signal jumps from high level to low level, and the first selection signal will be restored to high level after a short time of persistence after the jump; or the jump of the first selection signal can refer to that the first selection signal jumps from low level to high level, and the first selection signal will be restored to low level after a short time of persistence after the jump. In the embodiments of the present application, the first selection signal jumps from high level to low level is taken as an example for description. When the second display area needs to write data, the first selection signal will jump, and at this time, the area in the second display area receiving the first selection signal will realize data writing.
[0085] Optionally, the time difference between the first time and the second time is between 1 unit time and 100 unit times, and the unit time is the scanning time length of a single pixel row. If the time difference is represented as △t and the unit time is represented as H, then △t>0 and is between 1H and 100H. In a possible example, the unit time H=1 second (s) / high refresh rate / number of rows of the display screen, and the high refresh rate can refer to the highest refresh rate corresponding to the display area of the display screen, for example, the high refresh rate can be 120Hz.
[0086] In a possible embodiment, the driving circuit outputs the first selection signal to the second display area, and the first selection signal can jump at the second time of the first write frame, and the jump of the first selection signal at the second time can be used to control the second display area to realize data writing according to the data voltage, that is, to realize data writing of the second display area in the first write frame. Wherein, the first time is earlier than the second time, that is, the first time when the driving circuit provides the data voltage is earlier than the second time when the first selection signal jumps.
[0087] Further, before entering the first holding frame, the data signal can also provide a data voltage in the write frame of the i-th refresh period of the first display area and in the write frame of the j-1-th refresh period of the second display area, respectively, and the data voltage can be used to provide data for the first display area and the second display area. In addition, the driving circuit can also output a selection signal to the first display area, and the selection signal can be used to control the first display area to realize data writing according to the data voltage in the write frame of the i-th refresh period; the driving circuit can also output a plurality of selection signals to the second display area, and the plurality of selection signals can be used to control the second display area to realize data writing according to the data voltage in the write frame of the j-1-th refresh period. Wherein, the write frame of the j-1-th refresh period is located in the write frame of the i-th refresh period.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of partition refreshing of the first display area and the second display area, for the holding frame in the i-th refresh period of the first display area, the driving circuit can provide the data voltage for the second display area in advance in the holding frame through the data signal, that is, the first time at which the data signal provides the data voltage in the holding frame is earlier than the second time at which the first selection signal jumps in the holding frame, so that the disturbance of the power supply signal VDD occurs before data writing, and thus the voltage of the power supply signal VDD can recover to the normal voltage at the time of data writing, thereby solving the problem of bright lines at the partition boundary of the first display area and the second display area in the process of partition refreshing. For example, (a) in FIG. 9 shows the waveform diagram of the data signal DA provided by the driving circuit for the first display area to the third display area of the display screen in the writing frame and the holding frame in the i-th refresh period of the first display area, the refresh frequencies of the first display area and the third display area are the same and are greater than the refresh frequency of the second display area; (b) in FIG. 9 shows the waveform diagram of the data signal DA, the power supply signal VDD, and the first selection signal S21 of the second display area.
[0089] Further, for the writing frame in any refresh period of the first display area, the data voltage is also used to provide data for the first display area, and the data signal is also converted to provide the data voltage before the writing frame in the refresh period of the first display area. For example, the refresh period of the first display area can be the i-th refresh period of the first display area, or the i+1-th refresh period of the first display area, and the i+1-th refresh period of the first display area is taken as an example for description. For example, the i+1-th refresh period of the first display area includes a second writing frame, and the second writing frame can be a writing frame after the first holding frame. The data voltage is also used to provide data for the first display area, and the data signal is also converted to provide the data voltage at a third time before the second writing frame. In combination with FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 10, the method further includes S203.
[0090] S203: The driving circuit outputs a second selection signal to the first display area, and the second selection signal jumps at a fourth time in the second writing frame. The jump of the second selection signal is used to control the first display area to realize data writing in the second writing frame according to the data voltage, and the third time is earlier than the fourth time.
[0091] The second selection signal can be a selection signal output by the driving circuit to the first display area. Alternatively, the second selection signal can be a selection signal corresponding to a region of the first display area that is written first. In an example, when the first display area includes a plurality of first pixel rows and the second display area includes a plurality of second pixel rows, and the plurality of first pixel rows are located before the plurality of second pixel rows, the second selection signal can be a selection signal corresponding to a topmost first pixel row of the plurality of first pixel rows.
[0092] In addition, the jump of the second selection signal can refer to a jump of the second selection signal from a high level to a low level, and a recovery of the second selection signal to the high level after a short period of time. In the embodiments of the present application, when the first display area needs to write data, the second selection signal will jump, and at this time, the region of the first display area receiving the second selection signal will realize data writing.
[0093] Alternatively, the time difference between the third time and the fourth time is between 1 unit time and 100 unit times, and the unit time is the scanning time of a single pixel row.
[0094] In a possible embodiment, the driving circuit outputs a data signal to the first display area and the second display area, and the data signal changes to provide a data voltage at a third time before a second write frame, the data voltage being used to provide data for the first display area. In addition, the driving circuit outputs a second selection signal to the second display area, and the second selection signal jumps at a fourth time of a fourth write frame. The jump of the second selection signal at the fourth time can be used to control the first display area to write data according to the data voltage, that is, to realize data writing of the first display area in the second write frame. The third time is earlier than the fourth time, that is, the third time at which the driving circuit provides the data voltage is earlier than the fourth time at which the second selection signal jumps.
[0095] Further, when entering a second holding frame of the second write frame, the driving circuit can provide data signals and corresponding selection signals for the first display area and the second display area in a similar manner to the first holding frame described above. For specific descriptions, please refer to the descriptions in S201-S202 described above. The embodiments of the present application will not be repeated here.
[0096] For the convenience of understanding, in the following, the waveforms of the plurality of signals in the scenario of the partition refresh shown in FIG. 8 are introduced and explained by means of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. The plurality of signals can include a data signal DA, a power supply signal VDD, a selection signal S11 corresponding to the region of the first display region which is written first, and a selection signal S21 corresponding to the region of the second display region which is written first. For example, the region of the first display region which is written first is the first pixel row in the first display region, the region of the second display region which is written first is the first pixel row in the second display region, S11 can be referred to as the second selection signal, and S21 can be referred to as the first selection signal.
[0097] In the following FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, two refresh periods adjacent to the first display region are taken as an example for illustration, which are denoted as W1 and W2. The two refresh periods of the first display region can correspond to four refresh periods of the second display region. In the figures, the write frame and the hold frame in the refresh period of the first display region are shown, and the write frame in the refresh period of the second display region is shown. The write frame in some refresh periods of the second display region is denoted as a high-frequency write frame, which overlaps with the hold frame in the refresh period of the first display region. In the figures, the first display region is denoted as region 1, the second display region is denoted as region 2, and the third display region is denoted as region 3.

In which, the data signal DA is high in the write frame of the refresh period W1, is changed from low to high in the hold frame or the high-frequency write frame of the refresh period W1, is high in the write frame of the refresh period W2, and is changed from low to high in the hold frame or the high-frequency write frame of the refresh period W2. The changes of the data signal DA all occur when the data is written in the second display region. The power supply signal VDD is high in the refresh period W1 and the refresh period W2, and is mutated due to disturbance in the process of the data signal DA changing from low to high. The selection signal S11 jumps at the start of the write frame of the refresh period W1, and jumps at the start of the write frame of the refresh period W2. The selection signal S21 jumps in the write frame of the refresh period W1 and the refresh period W2. The jump occurs when the data is written in the second display region, and the jump in the hold frame of the refresh period W1 and the refresh period W2 is synchronous with the change of the data signal DA.

When the different refresh frequencies include three or more refresh frequencies, the first display area can be a display area with the smallest refresh frequency, and the second display area can be a display area with a larger refresh frequency. Optionally, each refresh period corresponding to a refresh frequency other than the largest refresh frequency in the different refresh frequencies can include a write frame and one or more hold frames.
