Detailed Description
In order to make the technical scheme of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, a display panel, a driving method thereof and a display device thereof are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description.
In related art, in an LCD (Liquid CRYSTAL DISPLAY ) product, as TDDI (Touch AND DISPLAY DRIVER Integration, touch and display driving integrated chip) technical scheme can reduce the Mask (Mask plate) layer number in the preparation process of the LCD Touch display panel and save one FPC (flexible circuit board), the cost of the LCD Touch display panel is reduced as a whole, so the TDDI technical scheme in the LCD product has been widely popularized.
At present, an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) touch display screen gradually occupies the mobile phone market, and because the OLED touch display screen displays high-quality pictures, the OLED touch display screen can more satisfy the requirements of consumers, so that the OLED touch display screen is increasingly applied to touch display products.
Referring to TDDI technology scheme of LCD product, a pure self-contained OLED TDDI chip (28 nm process, i.e. 28nm chip process capability) is provided in the related art. However, as the purely self-contained OLED TDDI chip technical scheme cannot bring the advantages of Mask reduction and FPC reduction to the OLED touch display panel like the LCD TDDI technical scheme, on the contrary, the purely self-contained OLED TDDI chip Wafer Size (Wafer Size) is too large, so that the cost is far greater than that of the technical scheme of display driving chip (DIC) +touch driving chip (TIC) in the OLED touch display panel (i.e., DIC and TIC are respectively and independently set); the comprehensive cost performance of the self-contained OLED TDDI chip is very low, so that the technical scheme of the self-contained OLED TDDI chip is not promoted.
Currently, TDDI technology suitable for application to an OLED touch display panel is the mutual capacitance TDDI technology.
In the related art, a mutual capacitance TDDI chip VR40 (28 nm process) suitable for Mobile OLED touch display products is provided, as shown in fig. 1a, GPO, MIPI, I/O is an input/output interface circuit; SRAM and Memory are Memory circuits; OTP is software or program; logic is a Logic circuit; source and Gamma are display drive circuit portions; touch RX and TX are Touch drive circuit parts; POWER is the POWER supply circuit. The wafer size of the mutual capacitance TDDI chip is 32920×1617μm 2, and the area ratio of the Touch driving (Touch) portion of the mutual capacitance TDDI chip VR40 is 17.75% (i.e., 32920×287 μm 2). Because the mutual capacitance TDDI chip adopts a 28nm node process, the cost of the Touch drive (Touch) part in the mutual capacitance TDDI chip is calculated to be approximately equal to the cost of the externally hung Touch drive chip. An externally hung touch driving chip, such as a touch driving chip (TIC) FMLOC, FMLOC refers to a touch structure layer arrangement scheme in which a touch structure layer is directly fabricated on a stacked light emitting structure layer and packaging layer.
For best cost performance, TDDI chip VR40 has reduced the design of the Touch drive (Touch) portion on the wafer to the greatest extent, and the basic design specification parameters of the Touch drive (Touch) portion are shown in table 1 below.

As shown in fig. 1b, a schematic diagram of the power supply of TDDI chips VR40 is shown. The TDDI chip VR40 has four power supplies, i.e., a Host (e.g., a mobile phone) provides four power supplies to the TDDI chip VR 40: VDDIO, VDDI, VCI, AVDD.
Wherein, the voltage range of VDDIO is 1.2-1.8V, and the typical voltage of VDDIO is 1.85V. The VDDIO functions to be converted by the voltage conversion device into other stable dc voltages as needed to power the GPIO (general purpose digital input output interface). GPIO includes SPI communication interface (such as Sync synchronous signal interface, I2C signal interface, etc.), INT interrupt interface, reset interface, etc.
The voltage of VDDI was 1.8V. VDDI functions to be converted by the voltage conversion device into other stable dc voltages as needed, powering GPIO (general purpose digital input output interface) and Logic circuits. Logic circuits, also known as digital circuits, have functions such as data storage, computation, etc.
The voltage of VCI is 3.0V. The VCI functions to power the analog display driver circuit and the touch driver circuit.
The voltage of AVDD was 7.6V. The AVDD functions to power the analog display driver circuit.
In the related art, the supply potential of TDDI chip VR40 is shown in fig. 1 c. The high voltage is converted to a low voltage required by TDDI chips VR40 through a low dropout Linear Regulator (Linear Regulator), such as VGH 1/2, VINT_ P, ELVDD, VGMP, VGSP, VDD, VDDM, ELVSS, VINT _ N, VGL, VGL 1/2. The supply voltage is converted by a Charge Pump (voltage converter) to other voltages required by TDDI chip VR40, such as VGL, AVEE, VCL, VGH. Direct Supply represents voltage Direct Supply, such as AVDD, VCI, VDDI, VDDIO, AVEE, GND and the like; along the arrangement sequence of the direct supply voltages from top to bottom in fig. 1c, the potential of the direct supply voltages decreases in sequence. In fig. 1c, gamma, source, GOA is a circuit in the display driving circuit simulated in TDDI chip VR 40. Touch Drive is a circuit in a Touch Drive circuit simulated in TDDI chips VR 40; the AFE/ADC is an analog front-end circuit in TDDI chips VR40, and functions to process the front-end signals of the analog display driver circuit and the touch driver circuit. IO is an input-output circuit. Digital Logic (Memory) is a Logic circuit and a Memory circuit in TDDI chips VR40, etc.

The third and fourth power supplies (VDDI and VDDIO), the first power supply (VCI), the reset signal (RESX) are all at a high level; processor input output interface (MIPI I/F) signal level is pulled high; SWIRE 2a control signal controls an external PMIC (power management integrated circuit) to supply power to a display driving circuit in the touch display integrated circuit, and the touch driving circuit in the synchronous touch display integrated circuit is ready for touch scanning.
Unlike the related art, which needs to implement mode switching between touch and display of the display panel by a control signal, in this embodiment, a Sync signal (a signal that provides the same time reference for the touch driving circuit and the display driving circuit that need to process information synchronously) is provided between a touch driving circuit and a display driving circuit inside the touch display integrated circuit, which is in communication with each other, so that the display panel can perform mode switching between touch and display without delay.
The display panel provided in this embodiment, on the basis that the first power supply can provide power for the touch driving circuit in the touch display integrated circuit, can also provide power for the touch driving circuit by making the second power supply, compared with the configuration of the capacitive component in the mutual capacitance TDDI chip VR40 applied to the OLED touch display product in the related art, the touch display integrated circuit in this embodiment can reduce the configuration of one charge pump, so that the configuration of one flying capacitor and one filter capacitor can be reduced, and further, the size of the touch display integrated circuit is reduced, and the cost of the touch display integrated circuit is reduced; for a display panel of about 7 inches, the scheme of supplying power by the first power supply and the second power supply in this embodiment can reduce the size of the touch display integrated circuit by about 6%, and reduce the cost of the touch display integrated circuit by about 6%.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a display device which comprises the display panel in the embodiment.
By adopting the display panel in the above embodiment, the size of the display device can be reduced and the cost of the display device can be reduced.
The display device may be: OLED panels, OLED televisions, folding products, touch screens, electronic paper, mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, displays, notebook computers, digital photo frames, navigator and any other products or components with display functions.
It is to be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention, but not in limitation thereof. Various modifications and improvements may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and substance of the invention, and are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
