Step 220:, drive many data lines of this display panel, to transfer data on this display panel according to the time of occurrence point of this synchronizing datum signal with present this existing minimal noise estimating signal that writes down.
For the described step of clear interpretation Fig. 2, please consult Fig. 3 simultaneously.The sequential synoptic diagram that Fig. 3 carries out sample of signal when implementing the described step of Fig. 2, wherein transverse axis is represented the time, and the intensity of vertical axis represent signal.Fig. 3 represents an inductor detected signal intensity of contact panel 110 on pairing test position on the display panel 120, and the described step of Fig. 2 is with the reference of this signal intensity as judgement noise size.
Application drawing 2 described methods are when display 100 shown in Figure 1, in step 202, need go out the time point t_min (as shown in Figure 3) of a noise minimum at one section set time build-in test, with as after driving data lines with transfer data to standard time point on the display panel, time t3 shown in Figure 3 is this section set time.Yet, the start time point of time t3 also needs decision in advance, to find out the phase differential t_delay between this starting point and the time point t_min, and after actual when starting display 100, as long as can learn start time point and the phase differential t_delay of time t3, just can estimate the position of time point t_min on time shaft of representing the noise minimum.The start time point of time t3 is by finding a synchronizing datum signal to decide in different types of clock pulse signal on the display panel 120, and test meeting is afterwards carried out as starting point with this synchronizing datum signal.See also Fig. 4, it is the sequential chart of employed various clock pulse signals on the display panel 120 shown in Figure 1.Fig. 4 figure is shown with a gate line clock pulse signal YCLK, a gate line switching signal YOE, edge adjustment signal YV1C, a polarity inversion signal XPOL, reaches the sequential of a data write control signal XSTB, and wherein each signal is only represented its activation/disabled state with high electronegative potential.Gate line clock pulse signal YCLK represents the employed time clock of each gate line on the display panel 120, and whether gate line switching signal YOE is used for control gate line clock pulse signal YCLK effective to the triggering of gate line, in other words, when gate line clock pulse signal YCLK and gate line control signal YOE were enabled simultaneously, the gate line on the display panel 120 can be triggered and start.Polarity inversion signal XPOL is used for controlling and takes advantage of the light emitting diode that carries on the display panel 120, to implement the reversal of poles of display panel 120.Data write control signal XSTB is used for controlling the sequential that data line is unlocked on the display panel 120, writes with the pixel data that carries out on the display panel 120.Observe Fig. 4 as can be known, has different phase differential between each clock pulse signal, if can not also determine the starting point of time t3 according to this as synchronizing datum signal, also can't be used for the running of display 100 to reduce noise even then known the size of phase differential t_delay with one of them clock pulse signal.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4, adjust among the signal YC1C one period that is not enabled (that is dutycycle (Duty Cycle)) as time t3 shown in Figure 3 with the edge.
Step 204-208 is corresponding to time t1 shown in Figure 3, and time t1 is as the sample of signal time to single test position on the contact panel 110.As shown in Figure 3, can carry out sample of signal in time t1 with the inductor corresponding to a fc-specific test FC position on the display panel 120 on the contact panel 110, to obtain a plurality of discrete sampled signals (four signals being contained as time t1 among Fig. 3).In step 206, can be by finding out a signal of signal intensity maximum and a signal of signal intensity minimum in a plurality of signals of in time t1, having taken a sample at present (may not be all four signals of being contained among Fig. 3 as yet).In step 208, when time t1 has finished, that is time t1 shown in Figure 3 contained all sampled the finishing of four signals the time, just can determine the signal s_max of intensity maximum in this four signals as shown in Figure 3 and the signal s_min of intensity minimum.
In step 210, intensity difference between signal s_max and the s_min can be decided to be a noise estimating signal err, is used for being used as the representative noise of the signal group that time t1 as shown in Figure 3 contained (that is set of four signals containing of time t1 shown in Figure 3).General situation before execution in step 212 is a display 100 at the existing noise estimating signal err that has collected in a plurality of above-mentioned signal group separately, and be used as an existing minimal noise estimating signal by the noise estimating signal err that has wherein found out the signal intensity minimum, and the state of this existing minimal noise estimating signal before time t3 finishes is variable (variable).Thus, when obtaining a new noise estimating signal err after the execution of step 210 again, in step 212, noise estimating signal that can this is new compares with the signal intensity of this existing minimal noise estimating signal.The signal intensity that shows new noise estimating signal err when comparative result is during less than this existing minimal noise estimating signal, can be in step 214 will this existing minimal noise estimating signal relevant information be updated to the relevant information of new noise estimating signal err, intensity that for example will this existing minimal noise estimating signal and corresponding phase differential t_delay are updated to the intensity of new noise estimating signal err and its and correspond to mistiming (that is phase differential) between the time t3 starting point etc.Otherwise, the signal intensity that shows new noise estimating signal err when comparative result is not during less than this existing minimal noise estimating signal, then keep the relevant information of this existing minimal noise estimating signal, for example keep the intensity of this existing minimal noise estimating signal and correspond to the phase differential of this synchronizing datum signal.
