Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
First embodiment
The embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a timing signal of a GOA driving unit, which can be applied to a control chip in a display panel, for example, a scan driving chip, and the like, as shown in fig. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:
step S100: and acquiring the display state of the display panel, wherein the display state is a display maintaining state or a display updating state.
Step S102: when the display panel is in a display update state, the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit is set to a first frequency to control the scanning frequency of the display panel to be the first scanning frequency.
Step S104: when the display panel is in a display maintaining state, the frequency of the time sequence signal output to the GOA driving unit is reduced to a second frequency so as to control the scanning frequency of the display panel to be correspondingly reduced to the second scanning frequency; wherein the second scanning frequency is less than the first scanning frequency.
In step S100, the control chip obtains a display state of the display panel, where the display state is a display maintaining state or a display updating state, the display maintaining state refers to a state where a whole image displayed by the display panel needs to be maintained currently, and the display updating state refers to a state where an image displayed by the display panel needs to be updated currently, where obtaining the display state of the display panel specifically can preset a time interval of panel updating in the control chip, for example, one time of image updating can be performed in 1 minute, and if the current time point is exactly 11:00, the image updating needs to be performed to indicate the image updating state, and a time period between 11:00 and 11:01 needs to maintain the image displayed, which indicates the image maintaining state; in addition, the display state can also be determined by collecting the data information output by the data driving chip, and the display state is determined as the picture updating state when the data information output by the data driving chip changes, and the picture maintaining state when the data information output by the data driving chip does not change.
After the display state of the display panel is acquired in step S100, when it is determined that the display panel is in the display update state, step S102 is executed to set the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit to the first frequency so as to control the scanning frequency of the display panel to be the first scanning frequency.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when there is only one GOA driving unit, the control chip is electrically connected to the GOA driving unit, and directly outputs the generated first frequency signal to the GOA driving unit, so that the scanning line connected to the GOA driving unit scans according to the first scanning frequency to sequentially control the switches inside the sub-pixels connected to the scanning line to be turned on, and further charge the capacitors inside the sub-pixels to display the sub-pixels; when the plurality of GOA driving units are provided, the timing signals of the first frequency output by the control chip are all received by the plurality of GOA driving units, for example, the plurality of GOA driving units are connected in parallel to the timing signal transmission line and are electrically connected with the control chip through the timing signal transmission line, so that the plurality of GOA driving units can receive the timing signals output by the control chip, and further the scanning line connected with each GOA driving unit scans according to the first scanning frequency, and further the switch inside the sub-pixel connected with the scanning line is sequentially controlled to be opened, and further the capacitor inside the sub-pixel is charged, so that the sub-pixel is displayed.
After the display state of the display panel is obtained in step S100, when it is determined that the display panel is in the display maintaining state, the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit is adjusted to be the second frequency, so as to control the scanning frequency of the display panel to be correspondingly reduced to the second scanning frequency.
In step S104, when the display is maintained, the control chip reduces the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit to a second frequency, so as to correspondingly reduce the scanning frequency of the display panel to the second scanning frequency, and on the basis that the second scanning frequency is less than the first scanning frequency, when the picture is maintained, the GOA driving unit does not control the switch in the sub-pixel to be closed as frequently as when the picture is updated, so as to frequently charge and display the capacitor, but reduces the first frequency of the timing signal to the second frequency, so as to reduce the first scanning frequency to the second scanning frequency, so as to increase the time interval for charging the capacitor in the sub-pixel, so as to enable the capacitor to be charged after the electric energy stored in the capacitor is basically released to the greatest extent, thus solving the problem that the timing signal is not processed after the picture is updated, the display panel can continuously output the images by maintaining the same frequency as the images during updating, so that the images can be normally displayed, the display panel has the problem of large electric quantity loss, and the electric consumption loss of the display panel is saved.
In an alternative implementation manner of this embodiment, before performing step S104 to adjust the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit to the second frequency, as shown in fig. 2, the method further includes:
step S1030: and acquiring the discharge time of the internal capacitance of the sub-pixel in the display panel.
Step S1031: and determining a second frequency of the time sequence signal output to the GOA driving unit according to the discharge duration of the content capacitor of the sub-pixel in the display panel.
In step S1030, a plurality of sub-pixels are connected to a scan line in the display panel, in this embodiment, the discharge time duration of each sub-pixel in the display panel is the same, and the discharge time durations of the plurality of sub-pixels may be calculated in advance according to parameter information of capacitances in the sub-pixels and stored, and then directly called when step S1030 is executed, as shown in fig. 3, the discharge time durations may also be calculated in real time through the following steps:
step S10300: and acquiring parameter information of internal capacitance of sub-pixels in the display panel.
Step S10301: and determining the discharge time of the sub-pixel in the display panel according to the parameter information of the internal capacitance of the sub-pixel in the display panel.
The above steps may adopt an existing method for calculating the discharge time of the capacitor, and specifically, parameter information of the capacitor, such as a capacitance value, a resistance value, an initial voltage (external voltage when the capacitor is not charged) and voltages at two ends of the capacitor at a current time point, may be obtained, and further, the discharge time may be calculated.
After the discharge time of the internal capacitor of the sub-pixel is obtained through the calculation in the above steps, the second frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit can be determined according to the discharge time of the sub-pixel, so that the second scanning frequency of the display panel can be controlled to be approximately synchronous with the corresponding discharge time, that is, the discharge time of the internal capacitor of the sub-pixel is close to the scanning time interval corresponding to the second scanning frequency.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic structural block diagram of a timing signal control apparatus of a GOA driving unit provided in this embodiment, and it should be understood that the apparatus corresponds to the above-mentioned method embodiment executed by the control chip in fig. 1 to 3, and can execute the steps related to the method executed by the control chip in the foregoing embodiments, and the specific functions of the apparatus can be referred to the description above, and a detailed description is appropriately omitted here to avoid redundancy. The device includes at least one software function that can be stored in memory in the form of software or firmware (firmware) or solidified in the Operating System (OS) of the device. Specifically, the apparatus includes: a first obtaining module 100, configured to obtain a display state of a display panel, where the display state is a display maintaining state or a display updating state; a first setting module 101, configured to set a frequency of a timing signal output to the GOA driving unit to a first frequency when the display panel is in a display update state, so as to control a scanning frequency of the display panel to be the first scanning frequency; the first adjusting module 102 is configured to, when the display panel is in a display maintaining state, adjust a frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit to a second frequency, so as to control a scanning frequency of the display panel to be correspondingly reduced to the second scanning frequency; wherein the second scanning frequency is less than the first scanning frequency.
In the above-designed timing signal control device of the GOA driving unit, when the display panel is in the display maintaining state, the frequency of the timing signal output to the GOA driving unit is adjusted to the first frequency to control the scanning frequency of the display panel to be correspondingly reduced to the second scanning frequency, so that the second scanning frequency is smaller than the first scanning frequency when the display panel performs display updating, and on the basis that the second scanning frequency is smaller than the first scanning frequency, when the frame is maintained, the GOA driving unit does not control the switch in the sub-pixel to be closed as frequently as when the frame is updated to perform charging display on the capacitor frequently, but reduces the first frequency of the timing signal to the second frequency to reduce the first scanning frequency to the second scanning frequency, so as to increase the time interval for charging the capacitor in the sub-pixel, so that the capacitor is charged after the electric energy stored in the capacitor is basically released as much as possible, therefore, the problem that the time sequence signal is not processed after the picture is updated, so that the time sequence signal is continuously output at the same frequency as the time of picture updating, the picture is normally displayed, and the display panel has large power consumption is solved, and the power consumption of the display panel is saved.

In the above steps of this embodiment, the connection between the control chip and the GOA driving units is not that, as in the first embodiment, the plurality of GOA driving units are connected in parallel to the timing signal line and receive the same timing signal output by the control chip, but the design of this embodiment is split-screen control, that is, the GOA driving units are individually connected to the control chip, so that the control chip controls each GOA driving unit, and each GOA driving unit is connected to at least one display area.
On the basis of the above, the control chip will execute step S200 to obtain the display status of each display area, so that there may exist some display areas in the display update status and some display areas in the display maintenance status; under such a situation, the control chip outputs a timing signal of a first frequency to the GOA driving unit corresponding to the display area in the display update state, and the control chip outputs a timing signal of a second frequency after being reduced to the GOA driving unit corresponding to the display area in the display sustain state, so that the scan frequency of the display area in the display sustain state is smaller than the scan frequency in the display update state, thereby saving power for the display area in the display sustain state.
