在OLED(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)的显示面板中设置有驱动晶体管,驱动晶体管控制OLED的点亮或关闭。流过驱动晶体管的电流就是流过OLED的电流。为了实现OLED的不同发光亮度,通过控制驱动晶体管的栅极和源极之间的电压差来实现不同的电阻,进而来实现不同电流。
在高灰阶显示时,提高驱动晶体管的栅极和源极之间的电压差,驱动晶体管的电阻降低,从而提高驱动晶体管的电流,进而提高OLED的灰阶亮度,实现高灰阶显示。在低灰阶显示时,降低驱动晶体管的栅极和源极之间的电压差,提高了驱动晶体管的电阻,从而降低驱动晶体管的电流,实现OLED的低灰阶显示。但是,在低灰阶显示时,驱动晶体管的电阻升高,不同的灰阶亮度对应的电流是不变的,在电流不变的情况下,电阻升高,会导致驱动晶体管的热量损失升高,功耗增加。

实施例一
参阅图1和图2所示,本申请公开了一种显示驱动架构20,本申请的技术方案可以应用在发光二极管(Light-Emitting Diode,LED)或有机发光二极管(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,OLED)的显示面板中。
显示面板10包括像素单元110,像素单元110包括驱动晶体管T0(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)和发光单元111,发光单元111为LED或者OLED。驱动晶体管T0的第一端连接第一电源端112,驱动晶体管T0的第二端连接发光单元111的阳极,发光单元111的阴极连接第二电源端113;通常来说,第一电源端112提供发光单元111的工作电压,比如ELVDD,第二电源端113连接发光单元111的公共端,比如公共接地端ELVSS。发光单元111的电流由发光单元111的阳极流向发光单元111的阴极。
显示驱动架构20包括:切换模块210,切换模块210包括第一切换单元211、第二切换单元212和电压输出端213,第一切换单元211和第二切换单元212分别连接电压输出端213,电压输出端213连接第一电源端112或第二电源端113,通过电压输出端213向像素单元110供电。第一切换单元211用于输出第一电压,第二切换单元212用于输出第二电压,切换模块210基于像素单元110的高灰阶数据将第一电压输出到电压输出端213,或者切换模块210基于像素单元110的低灰阶数据将第二电压输出到电压输出端213,第一电压大于第二电压。
在像素单元110进行高灰阶显示时,会提前生成高灰阶数据,切换模块210基于高灰阶数据通过第一切换单元211将第一电压输出至电压输出端213。驱动晶体管T0具有控制端、第一端和第二端,通常控制端是指驱动晶体管T0的栅极,第一端是指漏极,第二端是指源极。当然,也可以是第一端是指源极,第二端是指漏极。在控制驱动晶体管T0的电流时,增加驱动晶体管T0的栅极和源极之间的电压差,通常通过增加栅极电压来增加栅极和源极之间的电压差,如此使驱动晶体管T0的开启程度更高,沟道阻值降低。漏极和源极之间的电压差决定了流经驱动晶体管T0的电流大小,第一电压较大,在第一电压作用于漏极时,漏极和源极之间的电压差也增加,从而电流较大。也就说流经发光单元111的电流较大,发光单元111更亮,从而完成高灰阶 显示。
在像素单元110进行低灰阶显示时,会提前生成低灰阶数据,切换模块210基于低灰阶数据通过第二切换单元212将第二电压输出至电压输出端213。其中,低灰阶显示对应的电流也较低,通过第二电压作用于漏极,漏极和源极之间的电压差减小,从而使电流减小。这样,流经发光单元111的电流较小,发光单元111亮度变低,从而完成低灰阶显示。此时,驱动晶体管T0的栅极电压维持较高数值,从而使栅极和源极之间的电压差维持较高差值,这样,驱动晶体管T0的开启程度依然较高,形成的沟道阻值较小。而流经驱动晶体管T0电流与像素单元110的低灰阶数据相对应,即保证发光单元111显示对应低灰阶的电流是固定的,在驱动晶体管T0的电阻降低的情况下,降低了驱动晶体管T0的发热功耗。
以公式进行说明,Q代表驱动晶体的发热功耗,I代表流经驱动晶体管T0的电压,R代表驱动晶体管T0的沟道阻值,即电阻。Q=I*I*R,电流I不变,R减小,可见发热功耗降低。
本实施例的技术方案中,高灰阶显示对应高灰阶数据,在发光单元111的点亮的亮度较高时,切换模块210基于像素单元110的高灰阶数据,将第一电压输出到电压输出端213。在驱动晶体管T0的栅极和源极电压差较大的情况下,驱动晶体管T0的电阻较低,在结合第一电压的作用下,驱动晶体管T0的电流较高,实现了发光单元111的高灰阶显示。
低灰阶显示对应低灰阶数据,在发光单元111的点亮的亮度较低时,切换模块210基于像素单元110的低灰阶数据,将第二电压输出到电压输出端213。此时,维持驱动晶体管T0的栅极和源极电压差在较大的数值情况下,即保证驱动晶体管T0的电阻较小时,通过第二电压的输出降低驱动晶体管T0源极和漏极之间的电压差,实现驱动晶体管T0的电流减小,电流减少实现低灰阶显示。由此可知,本申请通过降低驱动晶体管T0的电流的方式实现低灰阶显示,同时也能够保证驱动晶体管T0的电阻较小,减少驱动晶体管T0的热量损失,降低功耗。
进一步说明,驱动晶体管T0的电阻受到栅极和源极之间的电压差影响,电压差越大,电阻越小,电压差越小,电阻越大。流经驱动晶体管T0的电流受到漏极和源极之间的电压差影响,电压差越大,电流越大,电压差越小,电流越小。本申请的技术方案是通过调整漏极和源极之间的电压差,在电阻较低的情况下,实现了低灰阶显示。
为了能够实现第一电压和第二电压的有效切换,第一切换单元211包括第一控制开关T1和第一接电端2110,第一电压通过第一接电端2110输入至第一切换单元211,第一控制开关T1的第一端连接第一接电端2110,第二端连接电压输出端213,第一控制开关T1的控制端响应第一控制信号,以将第一接电端2110的第一电压提供至电压输出端213;在生成了高灰阶数据后,基于高灰阶数据生成第一控制信号,第一控制开关T1的控制端在接收到第一控制信号后,第一控制开关T1的第一端和第二端连通,第一电压由第一端输出至第二端,第二端连接电压输出端213。由此,第一电压通过电压输出端213输出至像素单元110的第一电源端112或第二电源端113。
第二切换单元212包括第二控制开关T2和第二接电端2120,第二控制开关T2的第一端连接第二接电端2120,第二端连接电压输出端213,第二控制开关T2的控制端响应第二控制信号,以将第二接电端2120的第二电压提供至电压输出端213。在生成了低灰阶数据后,基于低灰阶数据生成第二控制信号,第二控制开关T2的控制端在接收到第二控制信号后,第二控制开关T2的第一端和第二端连通,第二电压由第一端输出至第二端,第二端连接电压输出端213。由此,第二电压通过电压输出端213输出至像素单元110的第一电源端112或第二电源端113。其中,第一控制开关T1和第二控制开关T2为TFT,比如为N型TFT,在第一控制信号为高电平,第二控制信号为低电平时,第一控制开关T1导通。在第一控制信号为低电平,第二控制信号为高电平时,第二控制开关T2导通。
为了更进一步地,有效控制切换模块210工作,切换模块210还包括第一数据线214、第一扫描线215和第二扫描线216;第一数据线214竖直延伸,第一扫描线215和第二扫描线216水平延伸,第一扫描线215用于控制第一切换单元211,第二扫描线216用于控制第二切换单元212。
第一切换单元211还包括第三控制开关T3和第一电容C1,第三控制开关T3的控制端连接第一扫描线215,第一端连接第一数据线214,第二端连接第一电容C1的第一电极板,第一电容C1的第二电极板连接第一控制开关T1和第一接电端2110之间的线路,第一控制开关T1的控制端连接第三控制开关T3和第一电容C1之间的线路。
在高灰阶显示时,第一扫描线215传输高电平,第二扫描线216传输低电平。第三控制开关T3为N型TFT,第三控制开关T3的控制端接收到高电平信号后,第三控制开关T3的第一端和第二端导通。第一数据线214的信号传输第一控制信号到第 一控制开关T1,第一控制开关T1也导通,第一电压传输至电压输出端213。其中,通过第一电容C1的设置,可以通过第一数据线214向第一电容C1充电,第一电容C1能够存储电量,这样可以维持第一控制开关T1在一定的时间内是开启的,保证第一电压持续作用在驱动晶体管T0上,维持发光单元111的点亮状态。
第二切换单元212还包括第四控制开关T4和第二电容C2,第四控制开关T4的控制端连接第二扫描线216,第一端连接第一数据线214,第二端连接第二电容C2的第一电极板,第二电容C2的第二电极板连接第二控制开关T2和第二接电端2120之间的线路,第二控制开关T2的控制端连接第四控制开关T4和第二电容C2之间的线路。
在低灰阶显示时,第一扫描线215传输低电平,第二扫描线216传输高电平。第四控制开关T4为N型TFT,第四控制开关T4的控制端接收到高电平信号后,第四控制开关T4的第一端和第二端导通。第一数据线214的信号传输第二控制信号到第二控制开关T2,第二控制开关T2也导通,第二电压传输至电压输出端213。其中,通过第二电容C2的设置,可以通过第一数据线214向第二电容C2充电,第二电容C2能够存储电量,这样可以维持第二控制开关T2在一定的时间内是开启的,保证第二电压持续作用在驱动晶体管T0上,维持发光单元111的点亮状态。当然,控制开关也可以是P型TFT,响应于低电平开启导通。
其中,可知第一数据线214用于提供第一控制信号和第二控制信号,第一控制信号和第二控制信号为同一控制信号,均为高电平信号。
显示面板10包括透明基板,像素单元110设于透明基板的表面,像素单元110包括第二数据线114和第三扫描线115、以及响应开关T5和存储电容C,响应开关T5的控制端连接第三扫描线115,第一端连接第二数据线114,第二端连接存储电容C的第一电极,存储电容C的第二电极连接驱动晶体管T0和第一电源端112之间的线路,驱动晶体管T0的控制端连接响应开关T5和存储电容C之间的线路。
像素单元110进行正常显示时,第三扫描线115提供高电平信号,响应开关T5的控制端响应高电平信号,响应开关T5的第一端和第二端导通,第二数据线114提供高电平信号传输到驱动晶体管T0的控制端,驱动晶体管T0响应高电平信号,驱动晶体管T0的第一端和第二端导通,切换模块210输出的电压作用在驱动晶体管T0的第一端,继而使发光单元111点亮。并且,还通过第二数据线114向存储电容C充电,通过存储电容C维持驱动晶体管T0的开启,保证发光单元111在一定时间内亮起。
为了减少对光线的遮挡,第一数据线214位于第二数据线114在透明基板的正投影内,这样,即使增加了第一数据线214,也不会额外阻挡发光单元111发射的光线。并且,为了充分利用结构空间,简化结构布局。还可以是第一数据线214和第二数据线114为同一数据线。也就是说,控制切换模块210的数据信号和来自控制像素单元110的数据信号是同一个。像素单元110开启点亮,对应显示驱动架构20也要输出相应的电压,因此,两者可以同步接收数据信号。
另外,通过第一数据线214和第二数据线114的分开,也可以使切换模块210和像素单元110的控制更加灵活。
再者,为了进一步减少对光线的遮挡,第一扫描线215位于一条第三扫描线115在透明基板的正投影内,第二扫描线216位于另一条第三扫描线115在透明基板的正投影内;这样,显示驱动架构20的扫描线和数据线分别位于像素单元110的扫描线和数据线的正投影内,均不会对光线造成额外遮挡。
为了提高控制切换效率,显示面板10包括多个像素组,像素组包括至少两个像素单元110,同一像素组内的像素单元110均连接同一切换模块210的电压输出端213。也就是说,一个切换模块210可以同时控制两个像素单元110的亮度,从而提高控制效率。
当然,控制的像素单元110可以不止两个,比如,水平方向5个像素单元110,竖直方向3个像素单元110,一个像素组包括15个像素单元110。一个切换模块210同时控制15个像素单元110的电压大小。
参阅图6所示,显示驱动架构20还包括:时序控制模块220和驱动模块230。时序控制模块220连接驱动模块230,驱动模块230连接切换模块210。
时序控制模块220用于获取像素单元110的高灰阶数据或低灰阶数据,并依据高灰阶数据生成第一驱动指令,依据低灰阶数据生成第二驱动指令;对于像素单元110是显示高灰阶还是低灰阶,是通过信号源240输入的灰阶数据来控制的。信号源240将灰阶数据传输给时序控制模块220,灰阶数据中已经包括了高灰阶数据和低灰阶数据。时序控制模块220根据不同的数据内容生成对应的驱动指令。即,依据高灰阶数据生成第一驱动指令,依据低灰阶数据生成第二驱动指令。
驱动模块230连接时序控制模块220,驱动模块230接收第一驱动指令或第二驱动指令,并依据第一驱动指令控制切换模块210输出第一电压,依据第二驱动指令控制切换模块210输出第二电压。
具体地,驱动模块230可以理解为一个驱动芯片,驱动芯片接收到第一驱动指令后,向第一数据线214输出高电平,向第一扫描线215也输出高电平,向第二扫描线216输出低电平。通过第一扫描线215的高电平,第三控制开关T3导通,第一数据线214的高电平输出至第一控制开关T1的控制端,第一控制开关T1导通,第一电压输出至电压输出端213。
驱动芯片接收到第二驱动指令后,向第一数据线214输出高电平,向第一扫描线215输出低电平,向第二扫描线216输出高电平。通过第二扫描线216的高电平,第四控制开关T4导通,第一数据线214的高电平输出至第二控制开关T2的控制端,第二控制开关T2导通,第二电压输出至电压输出端213。
实施例二
参阅图3所示,本申请还提供一种显示驱动方法,显示驱动方法用于驱动显示面板10,显示面板10包括像素单元110,像素单元110包括驱动晶体管T0和发光单元111,驱动晶体管T0的第一端连接第一电源端112,驱动晶体管T0的第二端连接发光单元111的阳极,发光单元111的阴极连接第二电源端113,显示驱动方法包括:
步骤S10,获取像素单元110的灰阶数据,灰阶数据包括高灰阶数据和低灰阶数据;通过信号源240输入灰阶数据,识别出灰阶数据中的高灰阶数据和低灰阶数据。
步骤S20,基于高灰阶数据将第一电压输出到第一电源端112或第二电源端113,基于低灰阶数据将第二电压输出到第一电源端112或第二电源端113。
如果是高灰阶数据,时序控制模块220基于高灰阶数据生成第一驱动指令,并将第一驱动指令传输给驱动模块230,驱动模块230基于第一驱动指令,向第一数据线214输出高电平,向第一扫描线215也输出高电平,向第二扫描线216输出低电平。第四控制开关T4响应低电平断开。通过第一扫描线215的高电平,第三控制开关T3导通,第一数据线214的高电平输出至第一控制开关T1的控制端,第一控制开关T1导通,第一电压输出至电压输出端213。第一电压可以输出至第一电源端112,也可以输出至第二电源端113。也就是说,通过调节驱动晶体管T0的漏极电压可以达到调整漏极和源极之间电压差的效果。也可通过调节驱动晶体管T0的源极电压,也可以达到调整漏极和源极之间电压差的效果。
如果是低灰阶数据,时序控制模块220基于低灰阶数据生成第二驱动指令,并将第二驱动指令传输给驱动模块230,驱动模块230基于第二驱动指令,向第一数据线 214输出高电平,向第一扫描线215输出低电平,向第二扫描线216输出高电平。第三控制开关T3响应低电平断开。通过第二扫描线216的高电平,第四控制开关T4导通,第一数据线214的高电平输出至第二控制开关T2的控制端,第二控制开关T2导通,第二电压输出至电压输出端213。第二电压可以输出至第一电源端112,也可以输出至第二电源端113。
其中,在输出第二电压时,流经驱动晶体管T0电流与像素单元110的低灰阶数据相对应,驱动晶体管T0的电阻降低,以降低驱动晶体管T0的发热功耗。具体地,低灰阶显示对应的电流也较低,通过第二电压作用于漏极,漏极和源极之间的电压差减小,从而使电流减小。这样,流经发光单元111的电流较小,发光单元111亮度变低,从而完成低灰阶显示。此时,驱动晶体管T0的栅极电压维持较高数值,从而使栅极和源极之间的电压差维持较高差值,这样,驱动晶体管T0的开启程度依然较高,形成的沟道阻值较小。而流经驱动晶体管T0电流与像素单元110的低灰阶数据相对应,即保证发光单元111显示对应低灰阶的电流是固定的,在驱动晶体管T0的电阻降低的情况下,降低了驱动晶体管T0的发热功耗。
参阅图4所示,获取像素单元110的高灰阶数据或像素单元110的低灰阶数据的步骤,包括:
步骤S110,获取像素单元110的灰阶数据,将像素单元110的灰阶数据和预设灰阶进行对比;灰阶数据的范围在0~255之间,0代表纯黑,255代表纯白,两者之间的数据代表从纯黑到纯白的过渡。
步骤S120,在像素单元110的灰阶数据大于预设灰阶时,判断灰阶数据为高灰阶数据;获取到灰阶数据后,要识别判断灰阶数据是否属于高灰阶数据,比如预设灰阶为127。如果灰阶数据为200,200大于127,则判断灰阶数据为高灰阶数据。
步骤S130,在像素单元110的灰阶数据小于或等于预设灰阶时,判断灰阶数据为低灰阶数据。如果灰阶数据为120,120小于127,则判断灰阶数据为低灰阶数据。其中,预设灰阶数据可以调整,比如预设灰阶为120、150或者是200等。
参阅图5所示,显示面板10的部分像素单元110位置过亮或者过暗。为了减少这种情况,获取像素单元110的灰阶数据的步骤之后,包括:
步骤S210,对像素单元110的亮度进行扫描,获得像素单元110的显示灰阶,将灰阶数据和显示灰阶进行对比;灰机数据可以理解为提供给像素单元110的亮度指令,显示灰阶可以理解为像素单元110真实的亮度。将这两者进行对比,可以判断显示的 亮度是否符合提供的亮度指令。
步骤S220,在像素单元110的灰阶数据大于显示灰阶时,将第一电压提供至像素单元110;如果在像素单元110的灰阶数据大于显示灰阶,说明像素单元110的亮度过低,此时,将第一电压提供至像素单元110,提高像素单元110中发光单元111的亮度。
步骤S230,在像素单元110的灰阶数据小于或等于显示灰阶时,将第二电压提供至像素单元110。如果在像素单元110的灰阶数据小于或等于显示灰阶,说明像素单元110的亮度过高,此时,将第二电压提供至像素单元110,降低像素单元110中发光单元111的亮度。
另外,显示面板10存在烧屏情况,烧瓶情况就是显示面板10由于长期处于某一静止画面,就会加速像素单元110的损耗,屏幕亮度的衰减,如果切换画面,部分像素单元110位置会出现残影。通过在第一电压和第二电压之间的切换,能够减少像素单元110长期处于某一工作电压下,从而缓解烧屏情况,增加显示面板10的使用寿命。
