Detailed Description
To further explain the display device and the driving method thereof according to the embodiments of the present invention, the following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings.
According to the structure and display principle of the display device in the related art, the display device includes a plurality of pixel units distributed in an array, a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines (e.g., S1-S6 in fig. 1), the plurality of pixel units are divided into a plurality of rows of pixel units, the scan lines correspond to the row of pixel units one to one, and the scan lines can control the corresponding row of pixel units to write data signals; meanwhile, the plurality of pixel units can be divided into a plurality of columns of pixel units, the data lines correspond to the column pixel units one by one, and the data lines can provide data signals for the corresponding column pixel units. When the display device actually displays, the pixel units are scanned line by the scanning lines, and when each row of pixel units is scanned, corresponding data signals are written into the pixel units of the row through the data lines.
Based on the structure and display manner of the display device, the inventor of the present invention has found that after the data line provides the corresponding first data voltage signal to the pixel units in the current row, the data line also retains the charges corresponding to the first data voltage signal, and the charges can be applied to the pixel units in the next row. In more detail, when the next row of pixel units is driven to display, the corresponding second data voltage signal needs to be provided for the next row of pixel units, and since the first data voltage signal remains in the data line, the difference data voltage signal (which is the difference between the second data voltage signal and the first data voltage signal) can be directly provided for the next row of pixel units, and when the next row of pixel units is scanned, the difference signal and the first data voltage signal can be jointly written into the next row of pixel units as the second data voltage signal, so that the display function of the next row of pixel units is realized.
The inventor of the present invention further studies and finds that, in order to ensure that the existing display device can achieve better working performance during actual operation, data voltage signals with opposite polarities are written into different data lines, so that, in all the data lines included in the display device, the polarity of a signal received by one part of the data lines is opposite to the polarity of a signal received by another part of the data lines, and therefore, a switch unit (e.g., the label 4 in fig. 1) can be disposed between the data lines receiving the same-polarity signals, and after the current row of pixel units is driven to display, the data lines receiving the same-polarity signals can be conducted through the switch unit, so that charges stored on the data lines receiving the same-polarity signals are shared, and the data lines receiving the same-polarity signals have the same pre-stored voltage V Average out Then, when the next row of pixel units is driven, the same pre-stored voltage can be written into the next row of pixel units.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, in fig. 1, data voltage signals with a first polarity are input to odd-numbered data lines, data voltage signals with a second polarity are input to even-numbered data lines, the first polarity is opposite to the second polarity, a switch unit 4 is disposed between adjacent odd-numbered data lines, the switch unit 4 can control conduction between adjacent odd-numbered data lines, a switch unit 4' is disposed between adjacent even-numbered data lines, the switch unit 4' can control conduction between adjacent even-numbered data lines, and simultaneously a control terminal of the switch unit 4 corresponding to the odd-numbered data line and a control terminal of the switch unit 4' corresponding to the even-numbered data line can be connected to the same control Signal line, that is, charge Sharing between all odd-numbered data lines and charge Sharing between all even-numbered data lines in the display device can be controlled simultaneously through a control Signal line (shared Signal).
Although the above method saves power consumption to a certain extent, only one charge sharing method can be implemented between the data lines receiving signals with the same polarity, and this charge sharing method can only play a role of saving power in some display modes, and in some other display modes, due to excessive short circuit between the data lines, power consumption cannot be saved, but power consumption is wasted. Based on this, the inventors of the present invention considered to provide a charge sharing circuit and a control circuit in a display device, so that the control circuit can control the charge sharing circuit to achieve optimal charge sharing between data lines by calculation, thereby achieving reduction in power consumption to the maximum.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, including a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixel units distributed in an array, wherein a portion of the data lines in the plurality of data lines receive signals with a first polarity, and a remaining portion of the data lines receive signals with a second polarity, and the first polarity and the second polarity are opposite, the display device further including:

Specifically, the first polarity and the second polarity may correspond to a positive polarity and a negative polarity, respectively, that is, when the display device is controlled to display, a positive data voltage signal may be written to some data lines in the display device, and a negative data voltage signal may be written to the remaining data lines.
The charge sharing circuit 1 is coupled to at least three adjacent target data lines of the plurality of data lines, and can control the on-off relationship between any two target data lines of the at least three adjacent target data lines. It is to be noted that the at least three adjacent target data lines receive signals with the same polarity, and thus when at least two target data lines of the at least three adjacent target data lines are connected, the at least two target data lines can implement charge sharing, that is, the at least two target data lines are loaded with the same voltage signal. In addition, each target data line can be coupled with only one charge sharing circuit 1, but not with a plurality of charge sharing circuits 1 at the same time.
The control circuit may be respectively coupled to the plurality of charge sharing circuits 1 and the plurality of data lines, and in the scanning phase, the control circuit may control the charge sharing circuit 1 to disconnect the coupling between any two target data lines of at least three adjacent target data lines coupled to the charge sharing circuit 1, so that any two target data lines of the at least three adjacent target data lines coupled to the charge sharing circuit 1 are insulated from each other, load the first data voltage signals corresponding to the pixel units of the current scanning row to the at least three adjacent target data lines, write the first data voltage signals into the pixel units of the current scanning row through the at least three adjacent target data lines, and control the current pixel unit to implement display.
In addition, the control circuit may further obtain a target control signal according to the first data voltage signal and a second data voltage signal corresponding to a pixel unit of a next scanning line in a charge sharing stage, and control the charge sharing circuit 1 to turn on coupling between at least two target data lines of at least three adjacent target data lines coupled to the charge sharing circuit according to the target control signal, so that charge sharing is implemented between the target data lines connected to each other, that is, the target data lines connected to each other have the same voltage, thereby implementing conversion of the first data voltage signal into a shared data voltage signal closest to the second data voltage signal and loading the shared data voltage signal on at least three adjacent target data lines.
It should be noted that the coupling mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention includes: electrical connections and signal connections.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the control circuit provided in the above embodiments includes: the time schedule controller TCON and the source electrode driving chip SD are coupled; in the charge sharing stage, the timing controller TCON is configured to obtain a target control signal according to the first data voltage signal and a second data voltage signal corresponding to a pixel unit of a next scanning line, and transmit the target control signal to the source driver chip SD;

Specifically, the display device may include a display substrate, and the timing controller TCON and the source driving chip SD may be bonded at an edge region of the display substrate. The timing controller TCON may obtain a target control signal according to the first data voltage signal and the second data voltage signal corresponding to the pixel unit of the next scanning line, and then transmit the target control signal to the source driving chip SD through the timing controller TCON and the interface on the source driving chip SD. It is noted that the above interface protocol can be defined according to actual needs, and exemplarily, as shown in the following table:
Figure BDA0002010410260000121
CS [0] is used to control the on/off of the charge sharing function, and after turning on the charge sharing function of the timing controller TCON and the source driver chip SD, three charge sharing modes can be selected, for example, a specific charge sharing mode is determined by CS [1], CS [2] and CS [3], where CS [1] is used to control the on/off of the line charge sharing function, i.e. the charge sharing mode shown in FIG. 1; CS 2 is used to control the on or off of the frame charge sharing function, the frame charge sharing function controls whether the charge sharing is realized between the last line of the previous frame and the first line of the next frame in the two adjacent frames; CS 3 is used to control the on/off of the pixel charge sharing function, the pixel charge sharing function is that the timing controller TCON provided by the above embodiment obtains the target control signal and transmits the target control signal to the source driving chip SD, and the source driving chip SD controls the charge sharing circuit 1 to conduct the coupling between at least two target data lines of at least three adjacent target data lines coupled correspondingly according to the target control signal, so that the first data voltage signal is converted into the target shared data voltage signal closest to the second data voltage signal and loaded on at least three adjacent target data lines.
It should be noted that if only the charge sharing function of the timing controller TCON is turned on and the charge sharing function of the source driver chip SD is turned off, the display device cannot be controlled to realize the charge sharing function.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the timing controller TCON provided by the above embodiment may be configured to include: an arithmetic unit 20 and a first register unit 21 coupled to each other; the arithmetic unit 20 is configured to calculate, according to the first data voltage signal, a shared data voltage signal loaded on at least three adjacent target data lines in different coupling manners when at least three adjacent target data lines coupled to the charge sharing circuit 1 are coupled in different coupling manners; and obtains the target shared data voltage signal closest to the second data voltage signal among the corresponding shared data voltage signals in each coupling mode, and stores the coupling mode generation target control signal corresponding to the target shared data voltage signal in the first register unit 21; the first register unit 21 is configured to transmit a target control signal to the source driver chip SD according to a predetermined interface protocol.
