The existing methods for improving the brightness of the first line and the darkness of the first line are all the Dummy Data (pseudo Data voltage) inserted in a certain mode before the first line Data of each frame, and the following three methods are commonly used for inserting the Dummy Data: insert dummy data voltage corresponding to gray level 0, insert dummy data voltage corresponding to gray level 127, insert first column data.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The transistors used in all embodiments of the present invention may be transistors, thin film transistors, or field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiment of the present invention, to distinguish two poles of the transistor except the control pole, one pole is called a first pole, and the other pole is called a second pole.
In practical operation, when the transistor is a triode, the control electrode may be a base electrode, the first electrode may be a collector electrode, and the second electrode may be an emitter electrode; alternatively, the control electrode may be a base electrode, the first electrode may be an emitter electrode, and the second electrode may be a collector electrode.
In practical operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, the control electrode may be a gate electrode, the first electrode may be a drain electrode, and the second electrode may be a source electrode; alternatively, the control electrode may be a gate electrode, the first electrode may be a source electrode, and the second electrode may be a drain electrode.
The driving method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a display panel, where the display panel includes a plurality of rows of gate lines, a plurality of columns of data lines, and a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns of pixel circuits, as shown in fig. 1, the driving method includes:
s1: judging whether the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the first a rows included in the display panel and included in the display data of the mth frame has periodicity or not, and setting a dummy data voltage according to a judgment result; m is a positive integer; a is a positive integer, a is greater than the predetermined number of rows;
s2: supplying the dummy data voltage to the data line during an mth dummy data voltage supply period.
In the driving method according to the embodiment of the present invention, according to a result of periodically determining whether a data voltage provided to the pixel circuits in the first a row included in the display panel included in the mth frame of display data has a periodicity, a dummy data voltage is set, and the dummy data voltage is provided to the data line in the mth dummy data voltage providing time period, so that a charging effect of the pixel circuit in the first row and a charging effect of the pixel circuits in the non-first row and the gray scale are consistent at the display time of the (m + 1) th frame of picture, and further, a luminance of the pixel circuit in the first row and a luminance of the pixel circuits in the non-first row and the gray scale are consistent, thereby solving the problems of the first row being brighter and the first row being darker.
The difference between the brightness of the pixels in the first row and the brightness of the pixels in the same gray scale in the non-first row is caused by the difference of the charging effect between the two. The influence factors of the charging effect are mainly reflected in three aspects: charging time, a charging starting point and a charging target point. The charging time of each row of pixels in the display panel is the same (the time for each row of grid to be opened is the same); for the pixels in the first row and the pixels in the same gray scale in the non-first row, the gray scales are the same, so that the charging target points of the pixels in the first row and the pixels in the non-first row are the same in order to reach the same gray scale voltage, namely the charging target points are the same. Therefore, the difference in the charging effects between the two is mainly reflected on the charging start point.
The dummy data voltage is set before the first row in order to provide the pixels in the first row with a charge starting point same as that of the pixels in the same gray scale as that in the non-first row. In the periodic picture, the charging starting point of the pixels with the same gray scale in the non-first row is the gray scale voltage of the pixels in the previous row. Therefore, the charging starting point of the first row of pixels should be consistent with the charging starting point of the first row of pixels, so that the same charging effect can be achieved, and the same brightness value can be achieved. In the scheme, the nth data in a periodic (the period is set as n-line scanning time) picture is inserted before the first line of pixels to serve as a pseudo data voltage, namely, the charging starting point of the first line of pixels is kept at the gray scale voltage level of the previous line of pixels which are not the first line of pixels with the same gray scale.
In practical implementation, the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the first a row included in the display panel has periodicity that: among data voltages supplied to pixel circuits of a first a rows included in the display panel, a c-th row data voltage is the same as a d × n + c-th row data voltage, n is a positive integer, c is a positive integer less than or equal to n, d is a positive integer, and d × n + c is less than or equal to a.
In the embodiment of the invention, a is larger than the preset row number; for example, a may be equal to 20 or 30, but is not limited thereto.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a duration of the m-th dummy data voltage supplying period is equal to a difference between a duration of one-time opening of the gate line and a one-line scanning time;
the mth dummy data voltage supply period is immediately adjacent to a first row data voltage supply period included in the m +1 th frame screen display time;
the first row gate line on period in the (m + 1) th frame picture display time includes the (m) th dummy data voltage supply period and the first row data voltage supply period which are sequentially set.
In the embodiment of the present invention, at the display time of the (m + 1) th frame, a plurality of rows of gate lines included in the display panel may be sequentially opened, but not limited thereto.
In a specific implementation, the number of lines into which the dummy data voltage is inserted should be equal to the number of pre-charged lines of the pixel circuit, that is, the m-th dummy data voltage supply period lasts for a time equal to a difference between a time for which the gate line is once opened and a one-line scanning time. For example, when the number of precharge rows is two, the dummy data voltage should be inserted also in a scanning time of two rows before the first row data voltage supply period included in one frame screen display time to improve the difference between the luminance of the pixel circuit of the first row and the luminance of the pixel circuits of the other rows.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of rows of the inserted dummy data voltage is set to be equal to the number of rows of the precharge voltage, also in order to make the charge start points of the pixel circuits of the first row and the pixel circuits of the non-first row of the same gray scale coincide as much as possible. In the pre-charging stage, the non-first row pixels are pre-charged by the data voltage on the data line, and the corresponding first row pixels should have the same effect.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the display panel may include a gate driving circuit, and when the gate driving circuit scans a plurality of rows of gate lines of the display panel row by row, a scanning time of one row may be a time interval between time points at which adjacent rows of gate lines are changed from an off state to an on state, but is not limited thereto.
For example, when the gate driving circuit scans a plurality of rows of gate lines of the display panel line by line, at the m +1 th frame display time, the waveform of the gate driving signal on the first row of gate lines G1 included in the display panel, the waveform of the gate driving signal on the second row of gate lines G2 included in the display panel, the waveform of the gate driving signal on the third row of gate lines G3 included in the display panel, and the waveform of the gate driving signal on the fourth row of gate lines G4 included in the display panel may be as shown in fig. 2, a row scanning time is denoted by T0, a time when the first row of gate lines is turned on is denoted by T1, an m-th dummy data voltage supply time period is denoted by T1, and a first row data voltage supply time period is denoted by T2. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the number of pre-charged rows is two.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the gate line is opened by: the potential of the grid driving signal on the grid line is effective voltage; for example, when the data writing transistor in which the gate electrode in the pixel circuit is connected to the gate line is an n-type transistor, the effective voltage is a high voltage; when the data writing transistor in which the gate electrode in the pixel circuit is connected to the gate line is a p-type transistor, the effective voltage is a low voltage.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the effective voltage is taken as an example for description.
According to a specific embodiment, the step of setting the dummy data voltage according to the determination result includes:
setting a data voltage supplied to pixel circuits of an nth row in display data of an mth frame as a dummy data voltage when it is determined that the data voltage supplied to the pixel circuits of the first a rows included in the display panel included in the display data of the mth frame has periodicity;
when the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the first row a included in the display panel and included in the display data of the mth frame is judged not to have periodicity, the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the first row in the display data of the mth frame is set to be the pseudo data voltage;
n is a ratio between a period of the data voltage variation and a one-line scanning time, and n is a positive integer.
In specific implementation, when the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the first a row included in the display panel is judged to have periodicity, the data voltage provided to the pixel circuits of the nth row in the display data of the mth frame is set as a pseudo data voltage;
when it is judged that the data voltage supplied to the pixel circuits of the first a rows included in the display panel included in the display data of the mth frame does not have periodicity, the data voltage supplied to the pixel circuits of the first row in the display data of the mth frame is set to the dummy data voltage.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the period of the data voltage variation supplied to the pixel circuits of the first a row included in the display panel included in the m-th frame display data refers to: when a data voltage of a c-th row is the same as a data voltage of a d × n + c-th row in data voltages supplied to pixel circuits of a first a row included in the display panel, an n-row scanning time is a variation period of the data voltage;
n is a positive integer, c is a positive integer less than or equal to n, d is a positive integer, and d × n + c is less than or equal to a.

As can be seen from Table 1, when the frame is a 255-gray frame, it is better to insert the data voltage or the data of the first row corresponding to the 255-gray frame before the first row; when the picture is a gray level 127 picture, it is preferable to insert a data voltage corresponding to the gray level 127 or first line data before the first line; when the picture is a gray scale 0 picture, it is preferable to insert a data voltage corresponding to the gray scale 0 or first row data before the first row; when the picture is an H1line255 picture, it is better to insert a data voltage corresponding to gray scale 0 before the first line; when the frame is an H1line127 frame, it is preferable to insert a data voltage corresponding to gray level 0 before the first row.

the signal conversion unit 72 is configured to convert the Vby1 signal into a USIT (USIT is a universal serial interface) signal;
the analysis processing unit 51 can analyze and process signal data besides normally receiving and transmitting data;
the main functions of the analysis processing unit 51 are represented by the following two aspects:
firstly, when receiving the m-th frame USIT data, the analysis processing unit 51 analyzes whether the frame initial a-line USIT data (a can be set by software) has line periodicity; if the line periodicity exists, recording the period as n and storing the nth data of the frame in the storage unit 53; if there is no line periodicity, setting n to 1 and storing the first line data of the frame in the storage unit 53;
second, when the USIT data of the (m + 1) th frame arrives, the analysis processing unit 51 may call the data in the storage unit 53 (i.e., the nth data of the (m) th frame) and insert it in front of the top line data of the USIT signal of the (m + 1) th frame in a dummy data voltage manner.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the USIT data is a data voltage.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the display panel shown in fig. 7 may be a 65-inch 8K display panel, but is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 8, a schematic diagram of a workflow of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown with a start time or a screen switching time as a starting point; after the signal conversion unit 72 in the TCON converts the Vby1 signal into a USIT signal, the USIT signal is transmitted to the analysis processing unit 51; after receiving the first frame of USIT data, the analysis processing unit 51 analyzes the a-line data before the frame of data, and analyzes whether the a-line data before the frame has line periodicity;
after analyzing the line periodicity, the analysis processing unit 51 does two actions simultaneously: first, the frame data is sent to the signal sending unit 73 so as to be sent to the source driver and the rear end thereof; recording the minimum line period of a line data before the first frame as n, and sending the nth line data of the first frame to the storage unit 53 for storage;
here, the cycle n is recorded and the nth data is stored in two cases: if the a-th row data in the first frame exists in the row periodicity, recording the minimum row period value as n and sending the nth row data to the storage unit 53 for temporary storage; if the a-line data before the first frame has no line periodicity, recording n =1, and sending the first line data to the storage unit 53 for temporary storage;
after the above actions are completed, the analysis processing unit 51 receives the second frame data sent by the signal conversion unit 72, and calls up the data in the storage unit 53 (i.e., the nth data of the first frame). And continuously analyzing whether the previous a row data of the second frame data has row periodicity or not after the second frame data is received.
After analyzing the a line data before the second frame, the analysis processing unit 51 still performs two actions at the same time: first, a number of lines of dummy data voltages are inserted before the first line of data of the frame (second frame), the inserted dummy data voltages use the data called in the memory unit 53, that is, the nth line of data of the first frame, and the number of lines of the inserted dummy data voltages is determined by the number of precharge lines of the display product; outputting second frame data (data of inserting the dummy data voltage before the first line) after the interpolation is finished; secondly, recording the minimum line period n of the a-line data before the second frame (if no line period exists, n = 1) and temporarily storing the nth line data of the second frame to the storage unit 53, so as to call interpolation for the third frame data;
the subsequent processes are analogized in turn; therefore, proper dummy data voltage can be inserted before the data of all frames except the first frame data, so that the brightness of the pixels of the first row is improved, and the problems that the first row is too bright and the first row is too dark are solved.
The first frame data is at the time of starting or picture switching, and the frame information is basically invisible information and can be ignored. Of course, in the prior art, a signal conversion unit in the TCON has a certain time delay (generally about seven rows of data time) during receiving and transmitting data, and if the time delay can reach a large value (it is ensured that the number of data rows that can be analyzed and processed by the time delay is greater than a, that is, the time delay is sufficient for the analysis processing unit 51 to analyze and process the row periodicity of a row of data before the first frame, the value of a is adjustable, but the value is not too small, and is recommended to be more than 20), a suitable dummy data voltage can be inserted before the first frame of data.
In the above description, the analyzing unit 51 and the storing unit 53 are used to analyze, process and store the USIT signal, and their positions are placed before the signal converting module, so that they can analyze, process and store the Vby1 signal to achieve the same effect. In addition, the application range of the scheme of the invention is far wider than that, and the scheme of the invention is not limited by various signal types, panel sizes, pixel inversion modes and the like.
