Driving circuit, driving method and display device
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024107525803, filed on June 12, 2024, and entitled "Driving circuit, driving method and display device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a driving circuit, a driving method and a display device. BACKGROUND
[0003] With the development of display technology, people's requirements for display panels are also getting higher and higher. For example, when displaying dynamic pictures such as videos and games, the refresh frequency of the display panel needs to be high to prevent flickering, and when displaying static pictures such as web pages, the refresh frequency of the display panel needs to be low to reduce power consumption.
[0004] In current display panels, the same refresh rate is usually used for all pixels. However, in some product applications, different display partitions of the same display panel do not necessarily need to refresh data at the same display frame. If different display partitions of the same display panel, such as static regions and dynamic regions, use the same refresh rate to refresh data, using high refresh rate will increase the power consumption of the display panel, and using low refresh rate will cause flickering when displaying dynamic pictures. In order to realize different refresh rates for different partitions, different gate driving circuits are usually used for different refresh partitions, which will make the frame design of the screen wider and increase the difficulty of wiring.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, as a second embodiment of the present application, which is a further refinement and improvement of the above-mentioned first embodiment, the present embodiment is applicable to liquid crystal display panel 200 and OLED display panel 200, the first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 includes a first control unit 133 and a second control unit 134, the gate drive unit 110 outputs the gate drive signal to the input end of the first gate line segment 121, the input end of the first control unit 133 is connected to the output end of the first gate line segment 121, the output end is connected to the input end of the second gate line segment 122, and the control end is connected to the first control signal; the input end of the second control unit 134 is connected to the first level signal, the output end is connected to the input end of the second gate line segment 122, and the control end is connected to the second control signal; wherein the first level signal is a low-level signal, and the first control signal and the second control signal are a pair of opposite signals that are alternately turned on at least one frame.
[0033] The first gate line segment 121 corresponds to the first sub-area 210, and the second gate line segment 122 corresponds to the second sub-area 220; the first control unit 133 includes a first control switch T1, and the second control unit 134 includes a second control switch T2; the first control switch T1 and the second control switch T2 are arranged between the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122 in each row of gate lines 120; the gate drive signal of each row is input to the second sub-area 220 through the respective first control switch T1 at the end of the first sub-area 210; the present embodiment discloses a design of the first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 as a circuit structure including two TFTs (T1 & T2), the first control switch T1 is controlled by the frequency reduction signal DF, i.e. the first control signal, and the second control switch T2 is controlled by the second control signal DFB; DF and DFB are a pair of opposite signals, and the first level signal is a relatively low-voltage constant voltage source.
[0034] If the refresh rates of the areas corresponding to the first gate line segment and the second gate line segment 122 are different, in the first time period, the gate driving unit 110 outputs a gate driving signal to the first gate line segment 121 to control the thin film transistor connected to the first gate line segment 121 to be turned on, the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 disconnects the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122, and inputs a first level signal to the second gate line segment 122 to control the thin film transistor connected to the second gate line segment 122 to be turned off; in the second time period, the gate driving unit 110 outputs a gate driving signal to the first gate line segment 121 to control the thin film transistor connected to the first gate line segment 121 to be turned on, the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 connects the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122, and inputs a gate driving signal to the second gate line segment 122 to control the thin film transistor connected to the second gate line segment 122 to be turned on; so that the area of the first gate line segment 121 realizes display at the first refresh rate, and the area of the second gate line segment 122 realizes display at the second refresh rate, wherein the first refresh rate is n times of the second refresh rate, and the multiple relationship between the first refresh rate and the second refresh rate is determined by the interval time setting of the first time period and the second time period; if the refresh rates of the areas corresponding to the first gate line segment and the second gate line segment 122 are the same, the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 keeps conducting in the first time period and the second time period, and the first time period and the second time period are continuous time periods, that is, the end time of the first time period is the start time of the second time period.
[0035] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, as a third embodiment of the present application, and further refinement and perfection of the above-mentioned second embodiment, the present embodiment mainly aims at further improvement of the OLED display panel 200, the driving circuit 100 comprises an OLED pixel driving circuit 102, the OLED pixel driving circuit 102 further comprises a plurality of cascaded light-emitting control lines 140, the light-emitting control lines 140 are arranged in parallel and one-to-one corresponding to the gate lines 120, the light-emitting control lines 140 comprise a first light-emitting control line segment 141 and a second light-emitting control line segment 142, and a light-emitting control circuit 150 is arranged between the first light-emitting control line segment 141 and the second light-emitting control line segment 142, the light-emitting control circuit 150 is used for controlling the conduction and turn-off between the first light-emitting control line segment 141 and the second light-emitting control line segment 142; the light-emitting control circuit 150 and the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 can use the same control signal, i.e. the first control signal and the second control signal; wherein the light-emitting control circuit 150 comprises a first light-emitting control unit 151 and a second light-emitting control unit 152, the input end of the first light-emitting control unit 151 is connected to the output end of the first light-emitting control line segment 141, the output end is connected to the input end of the second light-emitting control line segment 142, and the control end is connected to the first control signal; the input end of the second light-emitting control unit 152 is connected to the second level signal, the output end is connected to the input end of the second light-emitting control line segment 142, and the control end is connected to the second control signal.
[0036] Wherein the first light-emitting control unit 151 comprises a first light-emitting control switch T1', and the second light-emitting control unit 152 comprises a second light-emitting control switch T2', in the present embodiment, the gate lines 120 and the light-emitting control lines 140 of the OLED display panel 200 are both segmented, and the segmented positions are in the same column region, i.e. the lengths of the two segments after segmentation of the gate lines 120 are the same as the lengths of the two segments after segmentation of the light-emitting control lines 140, and the widths of the corresponding display regions are consistent.
[0037] In the OLED pixel driving circuit 102, one sub-pixel corresponding pixel driving circuit 100 usually has at least two TFT devices, wherein the TFT responsible for resetting and data writing only needs to be turned on for a short time within a frame time, and the driving signal required by such TFT is called Scan signal; another TFT responsible for controlling light emission only needs to be turned off for a short time within a frame time, and the driving signal required by such TFT is called light emission control signal Emit, Emit signal is output by light emission control line 140, in OLED display panel 200, the frequency change of different partitions of display panel 200 needs the frequency of Scan signal and Emit signal to change at the same time; as shown in Figure 3, wherein E(1~n) is the signal waveform of a certain Emit signal of the entire screen n rows of pixels in the first partition 210, each E(n) is at a low potential for a short time within a frame time, and is shifted by one row period (1 / n frame period) for each line; E'(1~n) is the Emit signal input waveform of n rows of pixels in the corresponding second partition 220, wherein DF and DFB are a pair of opposite signals that are alternately turned on every frame, and the second level signal is a relatively high voltage constant voltage source.
[0038] When the refresh rates of the two display areas corresponding to the first gate line segment and the second gate line segment 122 are different, taking the refresh rate of the first partition 210 as twice the refresh rate of the second partition 220 as an example, for example, the refresh rate of the first partition 210 is 120Hz, and the refresh rate of the second partition 220 is 60Hz; in the first time period, the gate driving unit 110 outputs a gate driving signal to the first gate line segment 121 to control the thin film transistor connected by the first gate line segment 121 to be turned on, the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 disconnects the connection between the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122, and inputs a first level signal to the second gate line segment 122 to control the thin film transistor connected by the second gate line segment 122 to be turned off, the light emission control signal will be turned off for a short time after each pixel in the first partition 210 emits light, and the light emission control signal will be turned off for a frame time after each pixel in the second partition 220 emits light; in the second time period, the gate driving unit 110 outputs a gate driving signal to the first gate line segment 121 to control the thin film transistor connected by the first gate line segment 121 to be turned on, the first refresh rate adjusting circuit 131 connects the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122, and inputs a gate driving signal to the second gate line segment 122 to control the thin film transistor connected by the second gate line segment 122 to be turned on; so that the area of the first gate line segment 121 realizes 120Hz refresh rate display, and the area of the second gate line segment 122 realizes 60Hz refresh rate display.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, as the fourth embodiment of the present application, the driving circuit 100 further comprises a level signal control circuit 160, which comprises a first driving switch Ta and a second driving switch Tb; the first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 comprises a first control switch T1 and a second control switch T2; the driving circuit 100 comprises an OLED pixel driving circuit 102, which further comprises a plurality of cascaded light-emitting control lines 140, which are arranged in parallel with and one-to-one corresponding to the gate lines 120; the light-emitting control lines 140 comprise a first light-emitting control line segment 141 and a second light-emitting control line segment 142, and a first light-emitting control switch T1' and a second light-emitting control switch T2' are arranged between the first light-emitting control line segment 141 and the second light-emitting control line segment 142; the input end of the first control switch T1 is connected to the output end of the first gate line segment 121, the output end is connected to the input end of the second gate line segment 122, and the control end is connected to the first control signal; the input end of the second control switch T2 is connected to the first level signal, the output end is connected to the input end of the second gate line segment 122, and the control end is connected to the output end of the first driving switch Ta; the input end of the first light-emitting control switch T1' is connected to the output end of the first light-emitting control line segment 141, the output end is connected to the input end of the second light-emitting control line segment 142, and the control end is connected to the first control signal; the input end of the second light-emitting control switch T2' is connected to the second level signal, the output end is connected to the input end of the second light-emitting control line segment 142, and the control end is connected to the output end of the first driving switch Ta; wherein the first driving switch Ta is a three-terminal TFT device, and the second driving switch Tb is a four-terminal TFT device, which has a bottom gate compared with the three-terminal device of the first driving switch Ta, and the bottom gate voltage can adjust the threshold voltage of the TFT.
[0040] Further, the control end of the first driving switch Ta is connected with a first control signal, the input end is connected with a first level signal, the output end is connected with the control end of the second control switch T2 and the second light-emitting control switch T2', and the first control end of the second driving switch Tb; the input end of the second driving switch Tb is connected with a second level signal and a second control end, and the output end is connected with the first control end; the first level signal is a low level signal, and the second level signal is a high level signal; the gate line 120 and the light-emitting control line 140 of the OLED display panel 200 are both subjected to segmented processing, and the segmented positions are in the same column region, that is, the lengths of the two segments after the gate line 120 is segmented are the same as the lengths of the two segments after the light-emitting control line 140 is segmented, and the widths of the corresponding display regions are consistent; in the case of fixed partition, the input waveform of the second partition 220 can be adjusted by adjusting the duty ratio of the DF signal, so as to realize the refresh rate adjustment of the second partition 220, so that the refresh rate of the second partition 220 is 1 / n (n is a positive integer) of the refresh rate of the first partition 210, as shown in FIG. 7.
[0041] The embodiment can cancel the direct input of the DFB signal from the external drive, and automatically generate the DFB signal opposite to the DF through the DF signal and VGH / VGL. Specifically, in the first stage: when the DF is a high voltage (such as 15V), at this time, Ta is opened, and the VGL voltage (such as -7V) is written to the DFB node; at the moment of writing the low voltage, since the bottom gate of Tb is controlled by VGH, the potential is relatively high (such as 15V), so Tb remains open, and VGH&VGL are simultaneously output to the DFB node. Through the design of the size of the TFT device, such as (Ta Width) > 10*(Tb Width), therefore, the DFB node is gradually written to a low potential by VGL; in the second stage: when the DF is converted to a low voltage (such as a voltage of -7V), the VGL is a low voltage (such as -7V), at this time, Ta is closed, so VGH continuously outputs a high voltage (15V) to DFB through Tb.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, as the fifth embodiment of the present application, it is a further extension of any of the above embodiments, the each row of gate lines 120 further comprises a third gate line segment 123, that is, a gate line 120 is divided into three segments, wherein the driving circuit 100 further comprises a second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132, the second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132 is arranged between the second gate line segment 122 and the third gate line segment 123; the second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132 is used to control the conduction and turn-off between the second gate line segment 122 and the third gate line segment 123; the plurality of gate driving units 110 are divided into a first group of gate driving units 111 and a second group of gate driving units 112, the first group of gate driving units 111 and the second group of gate driving units 112 are respectively arranged at both ends of the gate line 120, the first group of gate driving units 111 is connected with the input end of the first gate line segment 121, and the second group of gate driving units 112 is connected with the input end of the third gate line segment 123.
[0043] The embodiment can divide the display area of the display panel 200 into three areas, i.e., divide each row of the gate lines 120 into three segments, the first gate line segment 121 corresponds to the first sub-area 210, the second gate line segment 122 corresponds to the second sub-area 220, and the third gate line segment 123 corresponds to the third sub-area 230. The refresh rate adjustment circuit 130 is arranged between the adjacent two ends to control the connection between the adjacent two gate line segments 120. Generally, in order to avoid the signal distortion or the voltage reduction caused by the decrease in brightness of the area far away from the gate driving circuit 101 due to the overlong gate line 120 in the case of large size, the gate driving unit 110 is arranged on both sides of the display panel 200. The first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 and the second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132 control the refresh rates of the three areas in combination. If the refresh rates of the first sub-area 210 and the third sub-area 230 are the same, in the first time period or the first frame time, the first sub-area 210 and the third sub-area 230 simultaneously receive the gate driving signal, and the two refresh rate adjustment circuits 130 are disconnected between the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122 and between the second gate line segment 122 and the third gate line segment 123. In the second time period or the second frame time, the first sub-area 210, the second sub-area 220, and the third sub-area 230 simultaneously receive the gate driving signal, and one of the refresh rate adjustment circuits 130 between the first gate line segment 121 and the second gate line segment 122 and between the second gate line segment 122 and the third gate line segment 123 is turned on. In addition, if the first refresh rate is 120 Hz, the second refresh rate is 60 Hz, and the third refresh rate is 30 Hz, in the first time period, both of the refresh rate adjustment circuits 130 are closed, and the second gate driving unit group 112 does not input the gate driving signal to the third gate line segment 123, that is, only the first sub-area 210 displays. In the second time period, the first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 is turned on, the second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132 remains closed, the first sub-area 210 and the second sub-area 220 display, and the third sub-area 230 does not display. In the third time period, the first refresh rate adjustment circuit 131 and the second refresh rate adjustment circuit 132 are both turned on, the first sub-area 210, the second sub-area 220, and the third sub-area 230 all display, and the gate line segment 120 in the third sub-area 230 receives the driving signal of the second gate driving unit group 112.
[0044] Further, the waveforms of the first control signal and the second control signal of the first refresh rate adjustment circuit and the second refresh rate adjustment circuit can be the same or different. Assuming that the first control signal of the first refresh rate adjustment circuit is DF1, the second control signal is DFB1, the first control signal of the second refresh rate adjustment circuit is DF2, and the second control signal is DFB2, when the three regions display the same refresh rate, the waveforms of DF1 and DF2 are the same, and the waveforms of DFB1 and DFB2 are also the same. When the refresh rates of the middle region and the two side regions are different, the waveforms of DF1 and DF2 are different, and the waveforms of DFB1 and DFB2 are also different. Assuming that the refresh rate of the middle region is 60 Hz, and the refresh rate of the two side regions is 120 Hz, when DF1 is high, DF2 is low, or when DF1 is low, DF2 is high.
[0045] It should be particularly pointed out that the second subregion 220 can display at 120 Hz, and the first subregion 210 and the third subregion 230 can display at 60 Hz. Specifically, the driving circuit 100 includes a frame start signal generation module 170, which is connected to the first gate drive unit group 111 and the second gate drive unit group 112, respectively. When the refresh rate of the region corresponding to the second gate line segment 122 is 2N, and the refresh rate of the regions corresponding to the first gate line segment 121 and the third gate line segment 123 is N, the frame start signal generation module 170 generates a first frame start signal and a second frame start signal, respectively, and outputs them to the odd row gate drive unit 110 and the even row gate drive unit 110 of the first gate drive unit group 111, so that the first gate drive unit group 111 generates corresponding gate drive signals. The frame start signal generation module 170 generates a third frame start signal and a fourth frame start signal, and outputs them to the even row gate drive unit 110 and the odd row gate drive unit 110 of the second gate drive unit group 112, so that the second gate drive unit group 112 generates corresponding drive signals.
