Referring to fig. 2, a schematic structural diagram of an lcd overdrive circuit according to the present invention is shown, including: LUT circuit 300 and ADC400, the liquid crystal panel overdrive circuit being provided in SD100, SD100 further including: latch200 and DAC 500. In particular, the amount of the solvent to be used,
the Latch200 of the present invention is configured to receive and store the current frame data to be displayed sent by the TCON600, and send the current frame data to the LUT circuit 300.
The ADC400 is used to store the previous frame data adjacent to the current frame data.
The LUT circuit 300 is configured to, when receiving current frame data sent by the Latch200, read previous frame data from the ADC400, select an OD driving value according to the current frame data and the previous frame data, and send the OD driving value to the DAC500, so that the DAC500 drives the liquid crystal display panel to output and display the current frame data according to the OD driving value.
By applying the technical scheme of the invention, the liquid crystal display overdrive circuit protected by the invention comprises the LUT circuit 300 and the ADC400, previous frame data adjacent to the current frame data is stored by using the ADC400, the LUT circuit 300 receives the current frame data sent by the Latch200, an OD drive value is selected according to the current frame data and the previous frame data read from the ADC400, and the OD drive value is sent to the DAC500, so that the DAC500 drives the liquid crystal display panel to output and display the current frame data according to the OD drive value. Therefore, the LCD screen overdrive circuit provided by the invention replaces the RAM with the simple ADC with lower cost than the RAM, and the RAM with higher cost does not need to be arranged, thereby reducing the complexity of the system and saving the circuit cost.
To explain the technical solution of the present invention in more detail, the inventor of the present invention will further elaborate each structure of the devices TCON600, SD100 included in the specific field related to the liquid crystal panel overdrive circuit protected by the present invention, and the liquid crystal panel overdrive circuit.
First, for the TCON600 and SD100 in the present invention, the TCON600 is used to receive the video signal sent by the signal source in real time, and convert the video signal into a first control signal for driving a GD (Gate Driver), a second control signal for driving the SD100, and the current frame data to be displayed.
In the present invention, the video signal includes RGB (red green blue) color pattern data, a clock signal, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a vertical synchronization signal. When the TCON600 receives at least the four data signals, the four data signals are processed and converted to generate two control signals and one data signal.
The two control signals are respectively a first control signal for driving GD to open a Gate (Gate) at proper time and a second control signal for driving SD100 to write a pixel voltage value of current frame data to be displayed in a certain row of pixels currently opened by the liquid crystal display panel when the Gate is opened. One data signal is the current frame data to be displayed.
In practical applications, it is assumed that the current frame data is composed of M rows × N columns of pixels, and M, N is a positive integer, and the frame data referred to in the present invention, i.e., the frame data referred to herein includes pixel voltage values of M rows × N columns of pixels. And when the GD control gate is opened every time, only one row of pixels is controlled to be correspondingly opened. In the present invention, when the TCON600 sends the first control signal to the GD, and the GD controls the gate to be opened at a proper time according to the first control signal, only a certain current row of pixels of the liquid crystal display panel is opened.
Specifically, in the present invention, the TCON600 sends both the second control signal and the current frame data to be displayed to the SD 100. The Latch200 disposed in the SD100 receives and stores the current frame data to be displayed sent by the TCON600, and the SD100 triggers the execution of the write operation according to the second control signal. In particular, reference is made to fig. 3.
When the GD is timely turned on according to the first control signal, the SD100 reads the current frame data stored in the Latch200, and writes the pixel voltage value of the current frame data in a certain row of pixels currently turned on by the liquid crystal display panel.
In this way, each time the GD controls the door to be opened, the SD100 reads the current frame data stored once from the Latch200, and writes the pixel voltage value of the current frame data in the current row of pixels currently opened on the liquid crystal display panel until the pixel voltage values of all the pixels in the liquid crystal display panel are completely written, which indicates that one frame of data is completely written.
Of course, in the present invention, when the GD controls the gate to open once again after writing of a certain frame of data is completed, the process of writing the next frame of data is started.
Next, for the Latch200 in the present invention, the Latch200 is configured to receive and store the current frame data to be displayed sent by the TCON600, and send the current frame data to the LUT circuit 300.
In the present invention, after the TCON600 sends the current frame data to be displayed to the SD100, the Latch200 disposed in the SD100 receives and stores the current frame data, and forwards the current frame data to the LUT circuit 300 at a certain frequency.
Further to the ADC400 in the present invention, the ADC400 is specifically configured to store the previous frame data adjacent to the current frame data.
Specifically, in the present invention, the ADC400 may be connected to the liquid crystal display panel, and is configured to read and store pixel voltage values of pixels in the liquid crystal display panel. And the pixel voltage values of all the pixels in the liquid crystal display panel are the previous frame data.
The structure of the pixel in the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention is shown in fig. 4, and includes a storage capacitor Cs and a liquid crystal capacitor Clc connected in parallel, wherein the storage capacitor is used for storing a pixel voltage value.
In the present invention, the writing of the pixel voltage value of the current frame data in the pixel by SD100 is the process of storing the voltage in the storage capacitor Cs.
In the present invention, since SD100 writes the pixel voltage value of a certain row of pixels at a time, N ADCs 400 may be further disposed in the lcd panel overdrive circuit protected by the present invention for the frame data including M rows × N columns of pixels. In particular, the amount of the solvent to be used,
ADC1the pixel voltage value used for storing the first column of pixels;
ADC2for storing pixel voltage values for a second column of pixels;
……
ADCnfor storing the pixel voltage value of the nth column of pixels. N is a positive integer from 1 to N.
For example, when SD100 writes the pixel voltage values of the 3 rd row of pixels, ADC1For storing pixel voltage values of pixels in row 3 and column 1, ADC2For storing pixel voltage values for pixels in row 3 and column 2, ADCnFor storing the pixel voltage value of the row 3 and column n pixels.
The inventor needs to explain that, because the design cost of the ADC is very low and the arrangement is very simple, the circuit cost of the liquid crystal display overdrive circuit provided with N ADCs is lower than that of the traditional liquid crystal display overdrive circuit using the RAM.
For LUT circuit 300 of the present invention, it includes two inputs and one output. One input end of the buffer is used for receiving the current frame data sent by Latch200, and the other input end is used for reading the previous frame data from ADC 400.
Specifically, in the present invention, when the LUT circuit 300 receives the current frame data sent by the Latch200, the LUT circuit 300 reads the previous frame data from the ADC400, and at this time, the current frame data sent by the Latch200 and the previous frame data read from the ADC400 are respectively used as two input terminals of the LUT circuit 300, and the LUT circuit 300 selects an OD driving value from a preset LUT table and sends the OD driving value to the DAC 500.
The preset LUT table represents a corresponding relationship between current frame data, previous frame data, and a preset OD driving value, as shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1
The LUT circuit 300 of the present invention can be multiplexed to receive and update the current frame data sent by the Latch200 in real time. Further, the present invention may further include N LUT circuits 300, each LUT circuit 300 for receiving a pixel voltage value of a column in the current frame data. For example, LUTs1A circuit for receiving the pixel voltage value of the 1 st column in the current frame data, LUT2A circuit for receiving the pixel voltage value of column 2 in the current frame data, LUTnA circuit for receiving the pixel of the n-th column in the current frame dataVoltage values, the N LUT circuits 300 also support multiplexing.
Finally, for the DAC500 of the present invention, the DAC500 is configured to receive the OD driving value sent by the LUT circuit 300, and further drive the liquid crystal display panel to output and display the current frame data according to the OD driving value.
By applying the liquid crystal display overdrive circuit provided by the invention, the invention not only supports OD technology, effectively shortens response time, improves picture blur, but also reduces the complexity of a system and reduces circuit cost.
