In addition, the number of the first reference pixel rows 41 in the plurality of pixel rows 4 may be one or more, and when there are a plurality of pixel rows 4 having the same row gray-scale value and the lowest row gray-scale value, the part of the pixel rows 4 may be defined as the first reference pixel rows 41.
When the pixel rows 4 are driven to emit light, firstly, according to the row gray-scale value corresponding to each pixel row 4, the pixel row 4 with the lowest row gray-scale value is defined as a first reference pixel row 41, and the minimum pulse width is set by taking the row gray-scale value of the first reference pixel row 41 as a reference; then, setting the pulse widths of the other pixel rows 4 based on the minimum pulse width, for example, the gray-scale value of the row corresponding to the first reference pixel row 41 is G1, the minimum pulse width is PW1, and the gray-scale value of the row corresponding to the other pixel row 4 is G2, and setting the pulse width PW2 of the other pixel row 4 according to the formula G1/G2 — PW1/PW 2; finally, according to the pulse width set for each pixel row 4, a corresponding pulse signal is output to each pixel row 4, and the pulse width in the pulse signal is used to control the light emitting time of the pixel row 4, thereby realizing the control of the display brightness of the pixel row 4.
In the display device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the pulse width setting module 2 and the light-emitting driving module 3 are utilized to individually set the pulse width corresponding to each pixel row 4, so as to individually control the light-emitting time of each pixel row 4. Taking 1-255 gray levels as an example, in the prior art, 255 pulse width levels are required to be correspondingly set to match different gray level values, and in the embodiment of the present invention, after the minimum pulse width is set based on the first reference pixel row 41, only the pulse widths of other pixel rows 4 need to be set based on the minimum pulse width, that is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting time of all pixel rows 4 can be controlled by setting n pulse width levels at most, so that the number of the set pulse width levels is reduced to a great extent, the control accuracy of the pulse widths is improved, and further, the light emitting accuracy of the pixel rows 4 is effectively improved.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is another schematic structural diagram of the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the display device further includes an analog voltage generating module 7, and the analog voltage generating module 7 is electrically connected to the pulse width setting module 2 and the light-emitting driving unit 6, and is configured to generate a corresponding analog voltage signal according to the set pulse width and transmit the analog voltage signal to the light-emitting driving unit 6; the light-emitting driving unit 6 is configured to convert the received analog voltage signal into a corresponding pulse signal, and transmit the pulse signal to the corresponding pixel row 4, and at this time, the light-emitting driving unit 6 may be configured as an analog-to-digital converter. Through setting up analog voltage generation module 7, luminous drive unit 6 only need receive an analog voltage signal, and then utilize its self function to convert it into pulse signal can, this kind of drive mode is comparatively simple, compares in directly generating pulse signal according to the pulse width moreover, and analog voltage signal is difficult for taking place to crosstalk in the transmission course, and then effectively improves the reliability of the pulse width information that contains in the pulse signal of luminous drive unit 6 conversion.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic partial structure diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the display device further includes a shift register 8 and n switch units 9, where the shift register 8 includes n cascaded shift register units 10, the n shift register units 10 are electrically connected to the n pixel rows 4 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the shift register units 10 are configured to output gate scanning signals; each switch unit 9 is electrically connected to the shift register unit 10 and the light-emitting driving unit 6 corresponding to the same pixel row 4, the switch unit 9 is further electrically connected to the analog voltage generation module 7, and the switch unit 9 is configured to transmit the analog voltage signal to the light-emitting driving unit 6 in response to the gate scanning signal, so that the light-emitting driving unit 6 converts the analog voltage signal into a corresponding pulse signal and outputs the pulse signal to the corresponding pixel row 4.
Based on the above arrangement, the shift register unit 10 outputs a gate scan signal, and controls the pixel row 4 to be turned on by using the active level of the gate scan signal, and the switch unit 9 controls the analog voltage signal to be transmitted to the light-emitting driving unit 6 under the action of the active level, so that the switch driving unit outputs a pulse signal to the pixel row 4 to control the pixel row 4 to emit light. In this way, the gate scan signal can be multiplexed as a control signal for controlling the transmission of the analog voltage signal to the light-emitting driving unit 6, thereby ensuring that the pixel row 4 emits light normally when being turned on, and reducing the circuit complexity without additionally providing a circuit structure for providing the control signal.
It should be noted that, after the gate scanning signal and the pulse signal are both transmitted to the pixel driving circuit included in the sub-pixel 5 and the light-emitting driving unit 6 outputs the pulse signal to the corresponding pixel row 4, the effective level (the duration of the effective level is the pulse width) in the pulse signal is only located in the light-emitting control period of the duty cycle of the pixel driving circuit, and in the light-emitting control period, the gate scanning signal may be either the effective level or the non-effective level.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a pixel driving circuit in the prior art, fig. 5 is a timing diagram corresponding to fig. 4, and one driving cycle of the pixel driving circuit includes an initialization period t1, a charging period t2, and a light emission control period t 3. In the initialization period T1, the first gate Scan signal Scan1 (the gate Scan signal output by the upper shift register unit 10) is at an active high level, the second gate Scan signal Scan2 (the gate Scan signal output by the present shift register unit 10) is at a low level, the pulse signal Emit is at a low level, and the gate voltage of the driving transistor T3 and the anode of the light emitting diode D are reset by the reference voltage signal Vref under the action of the active high level of the first gate Scan signal Scan 1; in the charging period T2, the first gate Scan signal Scan1 is at a low level, the second gate Scan signal Scan2 is at an active high level, and the pulse signal Emit is at a low level, under the action of the active high level of the second gate Scan signal Scan2, the Data signal Data is controlled to be written into the driving transistor T3, and the switching unit 9 responds to the active high level of the second gate Scan signal Scan2, transmits an analog voltage signal to the light-emitting driving unit 6, so that the light-emitting driving unit 6 outputs the corresponding pulse signal Emit; in the light emission control period t3, the first gate Scan signal Scan1 and the second gate Scan signal Scan2 are at a low level, the pulse signal Emit is at an active-high level, the light emitting diode D is driven to Emit light under the action of the written Data signal Data and the power supply signal PVDD under the action of the active-high level of the pulse signal Emit, and the light emission time of the light emitting diode D is controlled by the duration of the active-high level. As can be seen, based on the structure of the pixel driving circuit, the active-high level in the pulse signal Emit is located only in the emission control period t3, and the second gate Scan signal Scan2 is at the inactive level in the emission control period t 3.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, fig. 6 is another schematic structural diagram of a pixel driving circuit in the prior art, fig. 7 is a timing diagram corresponding to fig. 6, where one driving cycle of the pixel driving circuit includes a light emission control period t1 ', and in the light emission control period t 1', the gate Scan signal Scan is at an active high level, the switching unit 9 responds to the active high level of the gate Scan signal Scan to transmit the analog voltage signal to the light emission driving unit 6, so that the light emission driving unit 6 outputs a corresponding pulse signal Emit, and in this period, the light emission time of the light emitting diode D is controlled by controlling the duration (pulse width size) of the active high level of the pulse signal Emit. As can be seen, also in the structure of the pixel drive circuit, the active-high level in the pulse signal Emit is only in the emission control period t1 ', and the gate Scan signal Scan is at the active level in the emission control period t 1'.
Further, referring again to fig. 3, the switch unit 9 includes: a switch transistor T, a gate of which is electrically connected to the shift register unit 10, a first pole of which is electrically connected to the analog voltage generating module 7, a second pole of which is electrically connected to the light-emitting driving unit 6, and the switch transistor T is configured to be turned on under the action of a gate scanning signal; and a first polar plate of the voltage-stabilizing capacitor C is electrically connected with a fixed power supply signal end VDD, and a second end of the voltage-stabilizing capacitor C is electrically connected with a second pole of the switching transistor T.
Specifically, the gate of the switching transistor T is turned on when receiving the effective level of the gate scan signal, the analog voltage signal generated by the analog voltage generation module 7 is transmitted to the light-emitting driving unit 6 through the turned-on switching transistor T, and since one end of the voltage stabilizing capacitor C is connected to a fixed potential, the stability of the analog voltage signal can be maintained by the voltage stabilizing capacitor C, thereby ensuring the reliability of the pulse signal output by the light-emitting driving unit 6.
Further, referring to fig. 3 again, the n switch units 9 are electrically connected to the analog voltage generating module 7 through an analog signal transmission line CL. Since the n cascaded shift register units 10 sequentially output the gate scan signals, even if the n switch units 9 are electrically connected to the analog voltage generation module 7 through one analog signal transmission line CL, the n switch units 9 can transmit the analog voltage signals provided by the analog signal transmission line CL to the light-emitting drive unit 6 in a time-sharing manner, thereby preventing the analog voltage signals between different light-emitting drive units 6 from being mutually interfered. In addition, the number of transmission wires for transmitting analog voltage signals can be reduced, and the space occupied by the transmission wires in the display device is reduced.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a pulse width setting module according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the pulse width setting module 2 includes an average gray-scale value obtaining unit 11, a first reference pixel row obtaining unit 12, and a pixel row pulse width setting unit 13.
The average gray level value obtaining unit 11 is configured to determine an average gray level value corresponding to each pixel row 4 in one frame period according to the picture displayed by the display panel 1, where the average gray level value is the row gray level value. Specifically, according to the screen displayed by the display panel 1, the gray-scale values respectively corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels 5 included in each pixel row 4 are determined, and then the average value of the gray-scale values corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels 5 is set as the average gray-scale value corresponding to the pixel row 4.
The first reference pixel row obtaining unit 12 is electrically connected to the average gray-scale value obtaining unit 11, and is configured to obtain the first reference pixel row 41 with the lowest average gray-scale value according to the average gray-scale value corresponding to each pixel row 4.
The pixel row pulse width setting unit 13 is electrically connected to the average gray-scale value obtaining unit 11 and the first reference pixel row obtaining unit 12, and configured to set a minimum pulse width based on the average gray-scale value of the first reference pixel row 41, and set pulse widths of other pixel rows 4 according to the average gray-scale value and the minimum pulse width corresponding to each pixel row 4. For example, the average gray-scale value corresponding to the first reference pixel row 41 is G1, the minimum pulse width is PW1, and the average gray-scale value corresponding to the other pixel row 4 is G2, and the pulse width PW2 of the other pixel row 4 may be set according to the formula G1/G2-PW 1/PW2, so that setting up at most n pulse width levels in one frame period can implement individual control of the light emitting time of all pixel rows 4, thereby effectively reducing the number of levels of the pulse width and improving the control accuracy of the pulse width.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is another schematic structural diagram of the pulse width setting module according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the pulse width setting module 2 includes a sub-frame dividing unit 14, a gray scale and brightness obtaining unit 15, a light-emitting sub-frame setting unit 16, and a pulse width setting unit 17.
The subframe dividing unit 14 is configured to divide a frame period into m subframes, where a light emitting duration of an ith subframe is longer than a light emitting duration of an (i-1) th subframe, and i is not greater than m. The gray scale and brightness acquiring unit 15 is configured to determine an average gray scale value and an average display brightness value corresponding to each pixel row 4 according to the image displayed on the display panel 1.
The light-emitting sub-frame setting unit 16 is electrically connected to the sub-frame dividing unit 14 and the gray scale and brightness acquiring unit 15, respectively, for setting the gray scale and brightness of the light-emitting sub-frame in Lx-1<L≤LxThen, the first x subframes are set as corresponding light-emitting subframes of the pixel row 4 in one frame period; wherein L is the average display brightness value corresponding to the pixel row 4, Lx-1Maximum total display brightness, L, for the first x-1 sub-frames of pixel row 4 in a frame periodxX is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m, which is the maximum total display brightness of the first x sub-frames of the pixel row 4 in one frame period.
It should be noted that the maximum total display brightness of the first x subframes of the pixel row 4 is the sum of the maximum display brightness of the first x subframes of the pixel row 4, and the maximum display brightness of the pixel row 4 in a single subframe is the display brightness that the pixel row 4 presents under the action of the maximum driving current and the maximum light-emitting time duration.
Specifically, in the 1 st subframe, the pixel row 4 displays the maximum display luminance L1Judgment of L1Whether the current value is greater than or equal to L or not, if so, the 1 st subframe is a luminous subframe, the 2 nd to mth subframes are non-luminous subframes, and if not, the current value is in the No. 1 st subframeIn the 1 st and 2 nd sub-frames, the pixel row 4 is driven to display the maximum display brightness, and the maximum total display brightness L of the first two sub-frames is judged2And if not, driving the pixel row 4 to display the maximum display brightness in the 1 st to 3 rd subframes, and the like until the value of x is determined.
The pulse width setting unit 17 is electrically connected to the gray scale and brightness obtaining unit 15, the light-emitting subframe setting unit 16, and the light-emitting driving unit 6, and configured to obtain, in each light-emitting subframe, a first reference pixel row 41 with a lowest display gray scale value according to a display gray scale value of each pixel row 4 that emits light in the light-emitting subframe, where the display gray scale value is a row gray scale value, the minimum pulse width is set with the display gray scale value of the first reference pixel row 41 as a reference, and the pulse widths of the other pixel rows 4 are set according to the display gray scale value and the minimum pulse width of each pixel row 4 that emits light.
Taking three sub-frames and three pixel rows 4 as an example, assume that the maximum display gray scale value of the pixel row 4 in the 1 st sub-frame is 10, the maximum display gray scale value in the 2 nd sub-frame is 20, and the maximum display gray scale value in the 3 rd sub-frame is 30. Assuming that the average gray-scale value of the 1 st pixel row 4 is 5, the light-emitting subframe corresponding to the pixel row 4 is the 1 st subframe, and the display gray-scale value of the pixel row 4 in the 1 st subframe is 5; if the average gray-scale value of the 2 nd pixel row 4 is 15, the light-emitting sub-frame corresponding to the pixel row 4 is the 1 st sub-frame and the 2 nd sub-frame, and the display gray-scale value of the pixel row 4 in the 1 st sub-frame is 10, and the display gray-scale value in the 2 nd sub-frame is 5; if the average gray scale value of the 3 rd pixel row 4 is 40, the light-emitting sub-frame corresponding to the pixel row 4 is the 1 st sub-frame, the 2 nd sub-frame and the 3 rd sub-frame, and the display gray scale value of the pixel row 4 in the 1 st sub-frame is 10 gray scales, the display gray scale value in the 2 nd sub-frame is 20 gray scales, and the display gray scale value in the 3 rd sub-frame is 10 gray scales.
Then, in the 1 st light-emitting subframe, the 1 st to 3 rd pixel rows 4 are the pixel rows 4 that emit light, the 1 st pixel row 4 with the lowest display gray-scale value is taken as the first reference pixel row 41, and the minimum pulse width is set with the display gray-scale value of the 1 st pixel row 4 as the reference, and the pulse widths of the 2 nd and 3 rd pixel rows 4 are set based on the minimum pulse width; in the 2 nd light emitting sub-frame, the 2 nd and 3 rd pixel rows 4 are the pixel rows 4 that emit light, the 2 nd pixel row 4 with the lowest display gray-scale value is taken as the first reference pixel row 41, and the minimum pulse width is set with the display gray-scale value of the 2 nd pixel row 4 as the reference, and the pulse width of the 3 rd pixel row 4 is set based on the minimum pulse width.
