請參閱第1圖。第1圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的顯示裝置100的電路圖。如第1圖所繪示,顯示裝置100包含處理器110、複數個多工器120、複數個子畫素130、源極驅動晶片140、複數條資料線DL以及複數條閘極線GL(1)~GL(n)。多工器120電性耦接至資料線DL、子畫素130及源極驅動晶片140。在第1圖所繪示的實施例中,僅繪示出2個多工器121及122。多工器121會控制開關SW1~SWn並連接資料線DL(1)~DL(n)以及子畫素130,多工器122會控制開關SW1~SWn並連接資料線DL(n+1)~DL(2n)以及子畫素130,多工器121及122皆包含複數個開關SW1~SWn,每一開關SW1~SWn分別電性連接至一條資料線DL。舉例而言,開關SW1電性連接至資料線DL(1)及資料線DL(n+1),因此當開關SW1導通時資料線DL(1)及DL(n+1)也會同時將資料電壓寫入至子畫素130。 Please refer to Figure 1. FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a
請一併參閱第1圖及第2圖。第2圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的多工器驅動方法200的流程圖。於一實施例中,第2圖所示之多工器驅動方法200可以應用於第1圖及所示的顯示裝置100上,處理器110用以根據下列多工器驅 動方法200所描述之步驟,根據液晶充電時間決定多工器120的驅動訊號CTL的致能時間。 Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 together. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a
如第2圖所示,多工器驅動方法200首先執行步驟S210,根據多工器數量將複數條資料線DL以及複數個子畫素130分成複數個群組。於一實施例中,多工器120的數量是由資料線的數量以及多工器可以連接的資料線決定,並且根據開關的數量將資料線分組,舉例而言,如果資料線的數量是1024條,並且多工器是1對2的多工器,在此情況下就會需要512個多工器,並且由於是1對2的多工器僅會有2個開關,因此將資料線分成2個群組。 As shown in FIG. 2, the
接著,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S220,根據第一幀畫面的灰階值及第二幀畫面的灰階值計算每一群組的暫態值。請參閱第3A圖,第3A圖係根據本案之一些實施例所繪示之步驟S220的流程圖。如第3A圖所示,步驟S220包含步驟S221A及步驟S222A。 Next, the
於一實施例中,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S221A,比較每一群組中的每一子畫素對應的第一幀畫面的灰階值與第二幀畫面的灰階值,計算出複數個比較結果。請一併參閱第4圖,第4圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的顯示裝置100的部分的示意圖。第4圖係繪示出第1圖關於開關及畫素的部分。如第4圖所示,將資料線分成2個群組(因為有2個開關SW1、SW2),在此將開關SW1控制的資料線稱為第一群組,以及將開關SW2控制的資料線稱為第二群組,並且僅以第一群組以及第二群組為例。第一群組控 制的資料線DL(1)及DL(n+1),第二群組控制的資料線DL(2)及DL(n+2),假設資料線DL(1)、DL(2)、DL(n+1)及DL(n+2)僅電性連接至閘極線GL的其中之一,在此以第1條閘極線GL(1)為例。當然本揭露不限於2個群組,也可以是如第1圖所示的n個群組(因為有n個開關SW1~SWn)。 In an embodiment, the
承上述,第一群組具有{子畫素P11,子畫素P12}共2個子畫素(位於資料線DL(1)及資料線DL(n+1)上),假設第一群組的2個子畫素P11、P12在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{50,50},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{100,100},比較結果的計算方式是將第二幀畫面的灰階值與第一幀畫面的灰階值相減後再取絕對值,因此,第一群組2個子畫素P11、P12的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面的灰階值差異量即為{50,50}。如上述實施例可知,第二群組也具有{子畫素P21,子畫素P22}共2個子畫素(位於資料線DL(2)及資料線DL(n+2)上),第二群組的2個子畫素P21、P22在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{0,125},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{255,255},比較結果的計算方式與第一群組相同,也是將第二幀畫面的灰階值與第一幀畫面的灰階值相減後再取絕對值,因此,第二群組2個子畫素P21、P22的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面的灰階值差異量即為{255,130}。 According to the above, the first group has {sub-pixel P11, sub-pixel P12} a total of 2 sub-pixels (located on the data line DL(1) and the data line DL(n+1)), assuming The gray scale value of the two sub-pixels P11 and P12 in the first frame picture is {50,50}, and the gray scale value in the second picture frame is {100,100}. The calculation method of the comparison result is the gray of the second frame picture The level value is subtracted from the gray level value of the first frame image and then the absolute value is taken. Therefore, the difference between the gray level value of the first frame image and the second frame image of the first two sub-pixels P11 and P12 is {50,50}. As can be seen from the above embodiment, the second group also has {sub-pixel P21, sub-pixel P22} a total of 2 sub-pixels (located on the data line DL(2) and the data line DL(n+2)), the second The two sub-pixels P21 and P22 in the group have a gray level value of {0,125} in the first frame and {255,255} in the second frame. The calculation method of the comparison result is the same as that of the first group. Also, the gray value of the second frame is subtracted from the gray value of the first frame, and then the absolute value is taken. Therefore, the first and second frames of the second group of two sub-pixels P21 and P22 The difference of the gray scale value is {255,130}.
接著,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S222A,設定比較結果中的最大值為暫態值。接續上方實施例,第一群組的第一幀畫面的灰階值與第二幀畫面的灰階值得比較結果為{50,50},第一群組中2個子畫素P11、P12的差異 量的最大值為50,第一群組的暫態值經過上述計算後為50。第二群組的第一幀畫面的灰階值與第二幀畫面的灰階值得比較結果為{255,130},第二群組中2個子畫素P21、P22的差異量的最大值為255,第二群組的暫態值經過上述計算後為255。 Next, the
於另一實施例中,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S220,在步驟S220中需要求得的暫態值也可根據第3B圖所示之步驟計算得出。請參閱第3B圖,第3B圖係根據本案之一些實施例所繪示之步驟S220的流程圖。如第3B圖所示,步驟S220包含步驟S221B以及步驟S222B。 In another embodiment, the
承上述,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S221B,將每一群組中的每一子畫素對應的第一幀畫面的灰階值平均,計算出第一幀畫面的平均值;並且將每一群組中的每一子畫素對應的第二幀畫面的灰階值平均,計算出第二幀畫面的平均值。請一併參考第4圖,如第4圖所示的實施例,第一群組具有{子畫素P11,子畫素P12}共2個子畫素,假設第一群組2個子畫素P11、P12在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{50,50},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{100,100}。第一群組的第一幀畫面的平均值計算方式是將第一群組2個子畫素P11、P12的灰階值加總,在除以子畫素的數量,因此第一幀畫面的平均值即為50。同理,第二幀畫面的平均值計算方式與前述相同,因此第一群組的第二幀畫面的平均值即為100。 According to the above, the
接著,如上述實施例可知,第二群組也具有{子 畫素P21,子畫素P22}共2個子畫素,第二群組2個子畫素P21、P22在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{0,50},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{255,255},比較結果的計算方式與第一群組相同,在此不再贅述,因此,第二群組的第一幀畫面的平均值即為25,第二群組的第二幀畫面的平均值即為255。 Then, as can be seen from the above embodiment, the second group also has {sub-pixel P21, sub-pixel P22} a total of 2 sub-pixels, and the second group of 2 sub-pixels P21, P22 in the gray level of the first frame The value is {0,50}, and the grayscale value of the second frame is {255,255}. The calculation method of the comparison result is the same as that of the first group, which is not repeated here. Therefore, the first frame of the second group The average value of the pictures is 25, and the average value of the second group of second-frame pictures is 255.
接著,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S222B,設定第一幀畫面的平均值與第二幀畫面的平均值的差值為暫態值。接續上方實施例,第一群組的第一幀畫面的平均值為50,第一群組的第二幀畫面的平均值為100,而第一群組的暫態值的計算方式係將第一幀畫面的平均值與第二幀畫面的平均值相減後再取絕對值,因此第一群組的暫態值即為50。第二群組的第一幀畫面的平均值為25,第二群組的第二幀畫面的平均值為255,而第二群組的暫態值的計算方式與第一群組相同,在此不再贅述,因此第二群組的暫態值即為230。 Next, the
接著,暫態值由第3A圖或第3B圖所示的步驟得出後,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S230,計算每一暫態值對應的液晶充電時間。於一實施例中,可以透過對照表(Look up table,LUT)產生每一暫態值對應的液晶充電時間。舉例而言,對照表可以由下方虛擬碼(Pseudo code)表示: if(GroupK=0)MUXK=T0 Next, after the transient value is obtained from the steps shown in FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B, the
else if(0<GroupKTH1)MUXK=T1 else if(0<GroupK TH1)MUXK=T1
else if(TH1<GroupKTH2)MUXK=T2 else if(TH1<GroupK TH2)MUXK=T2
⋮ ⋮
else if(THy-1<GroupKTHy)MUXK=Ty else if(THy-1<GroupK THy)MUXK=Ty
於上述的虛擬碼中,GroupK為第K個群組的暫態值,K代表總共分成幾個群組,TH1~THy代表灰階值,THy則由面板的解析度決定(例如,8bit顯示面板,THy為255),T1~Ty代表液晶充電時間,y則是取決於液晶特性以及顯示面板的解係度,舉例而言,在8bit顯示面板下紅綠藍三種顏色總共有256個灰階,y則是取決於要將256灰階分成多少類別,假設分成y=10,TH1可能就是25,TH2則可能是50,因此在25~50之間的暫態值就會對應至T2的液晶充電時間。此處所述的K、y以及TH1~THy都可依照實際情況再進行調整,此處僅只是示例性的說明。 In the above virtual code, GroupK is the transient value of the Kth group, K represents a total of several groups, TH1~THy represents the gray scale value, and THy is determined by the resolution of the panel (for example, 8bit display panel , THy is 255), T1~Ty represents the liquid crystal charging time, y depends on the characteristics of the liquid crystal and the resolution of the display panel, for example, under the 8bit display panel, the three colors of red, green and blue have a total of 256 gray levels. y depends on how many categories you want to divide the 256 gray scales. Assuming y=10, TH1 may be 25, and TH2 may be 50. Therefore, the transient value between 25~50 will correspond to the liquid crystal charging of T2. time. The K, y, and TH1~THy described here can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and this is only an exemplary description.
接著,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S240,根據液晶充電時間決定多工器的驅動訊號的致能時間,請參閱第5圖,第5圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的多工器120運作的時序圖。接續上方實施例,透過對照表或是虛擬碼的方式找出第一群組對應的液晶充電時間為T1,第二群組對應的液晶充電時間為T9,如第5圖所示,以前述第一群組以及第二群組為例(也就是多工器121及122皆控制開關SW1及SW2),在閘極線GL(1)被上拉至致能準位的時段內,第一群組對應的開關SW1致能的時間即為T1,第二群組對應的開關SW2致能的時間即為T9,液晶充電時間T1加 上液晶充電時間T9為閘極線GL(1)被上拉至致能準位的時間。在閘極線GL(1)被下拉至禁能準位後,閘極線GL(2)接著被上拉至致能準位,在閘極線GL(2)被上拉至致能準位的時段內,第一群組對應的開關SW1致能的時間即為T3,第二群組對應的開關SW2致能的時間即為T5,液晶充電時間T3加上液晶充電時間T5為閘極線GL(2)被上拉至致能準位的時間。由上述可知,開關SW1及SW2的致能時間的總合會與閘極線GL(1)及GL(2)的致能時間相同。 Next, the
承上述,多工器驅動方法200執行步驟S250,加總每一群組的液晶充電時間,計算出時間總和,並根據時間總和決定閘極訊號的致能時間。於一實施例中,閘極訊號的致能時間可以由每一群組的液晶充電時間總和決定。請一併參閱第6圖,第6圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的多工器120運作的時序圖。如第6圖所示,總共有開關SW1~SWn,共n個開關,可以理解成多工器121及122皆控制開關SW1~SWn,而每個開關SW1~SWn的開啟時間則依照前述的液晶充電時間的計算方式決定,而將開關SW1~SWn的致能時間加總則可以決定閘極線GL(1)~GL(n)的致能時間。由第6圖所示之範例可知,由於閘極線GL(1)及GL(2)的致能時間是根據開關SW1~SWn的致能時間決定,舉例而言,閘極線GL(1)的致能時間為開關SW1的開啟時間T1、開關SW2的開啟時間T1、開關SW3的開啟時間T6一直到開關SWn的開啟時間T2的總和。而閘極線GL(2)的致能時間為開關SW1的開啟時間T6、開關SW2的 開啟時間T6、開關SW3的開啟時間T7一直到開關SWn的開啟時間T10的總和。因此閘極線GL(1)及GL(2)的致能時間就不一定會相同。 According to the above, the
於另一實施例中,請參考第7圖,第7圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的多工器驅動方法700的流程圖。第7圖所示之多工器驅動方法700可以應用於第1圖及所示的顯示裝置100上,處理器110用以根據下列多工器驅動方法700所描述之步驟,根據液晶充電時間決定多工器120的驅動訊號CTL的致能時間。如第7圖所示,多工器驅動方法700首先執行步驟S710,根據多工器數量將複數條資料線DL以及複數個子畫素130分成複數個群組。步驟S710的實施方式與步驟S210相同,在此不再贅述。 In another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 7, which is a flowchart of a
接著,多工器驅動方法700執行步驟S720判斷每一群組中的每一子畫素對應的第一幀畫面的灰階值與第二幀畫面的灰階值是否相同。請一併參閱第8圖,第8圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的顯示裝置100的部分的示意圖。第8圖具有第一群組以及第二群組,閘極線GL(1)的第一群組具有{子畫素P111,子畫素P121}共2個子畫素,閘極線GL(1)的第二群組具有{子畫素P211,子畫素P221}共2個子畫素;閘極線GL(2)的第一群組具有{子畫素P112,子畫素P122}共2個子畫素,閘極線GL(2)的第二群組具有{子畫素P212,子畫素P222}共2個子畫素。舉例而言,假設第一群組的2個子畫素P111、P121在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{50,50},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{50,50},這樣第一 群組的2個子畫素P111、P121的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面即為相同。假設第二群組的2個子畫素P211、P221在第一幀畫面的灰階值為{100,50},在第二幀畫面的灰階值為{100,50},這樣第二群組的2個子畫素P211、P221的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面即為相同。 Next, the
接著,多工器驅動方法700執行步驟S721產生與每一群組對應的第一判斷結果。接續上方實施例,第一群組中的子畫素P111的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面為相同,第一群組中的子畫素P121的第一幀畫面與第二幀畫面也為相同,因此將畫素P111的比較結果與畫素P121的比較結果進行邏輯或(Logical or)運算即可產生與第一群組對應的第一判斷結果。第二群組對應的第一判斷結果也可根據上述得知,在此不再贅述。然而,如果有任何子畫素的比較結果為不同,在進行邏輯或(Logical or)運算時,第一判斷結果也會為不同。因此,步驟S720成立的情況,應是發生於畫面靜止的時候。 Next, the
接著,多工器驅動方法700執行步驟S730判斷每一群組中的第N級閘極線的每一子畫素的灰階值及每一群組中的第N-1級閘極線的每一子畫素的灰階值是否相同。如第8圖所示的實施例,假設閘極線GL(1)的第一群組的2個子畫素P111、P121的灰階值為{50,50},假設閘極線GL(1)的第二群組的2個子畫素P211、P221的灰階值為{100,100};閘極線GL(2)的第一群組的2個子畫素P112、P122的灰階值為{50,50},假設閘極線GL(2)的第二群組 的2個子畫素P212、P222的灰階值為{100,100}。將閘極線GL(1)的第一群組的2個子畫素P111、P121與閘極線GL(2)的第一群組的2個子畫素P112、P122相互比較,比較結果即為相同;接著將閘極線GL(2)的第一群組的2個子畫素P211、P221與閘極線GL(2)的第一群組的2個子畫素P212、P222相互比較,比較結果即為相同。 Next, the
接著,多工器驅動方法700執行步驟S731產生與每一群組對應的第二判斷結果。接續上方實施例,閘極線GL(2)第一群組中的子畫素P112與畫素P111的灰階值為相同,閘極線GL(2)第一群組中的子畫素P122與畫素P121的灰階值也為相同,因此將畫素P112的比較結果與畫素P122的比較結果進行邏輯或(Logical or)運算即可產生與第一群組對應的第二判斷結果。閘極線GL(2)第二群組對應的第二判斷結果也可根據上述得知,在此不再贅述。然而,如果有任何子畫素的比較結果為不同,在進行邏輯或(Logical or)運算時,第一判斷結果也會為不同。因此,步驟S730成立的情況,應是發生於前後兩條閘極線上的畫素灰階值一樣的時候(可能是同一顏色的色塊)。 Next, the
接著,多工器驅動方法700執行步驟S740根據每一群組對應的第一判斷結果以及每一群組對應的第二判斷結果控制每一群組對應的多工器。接續上方實施例,步驟S720的比較是在於當前畫面與前一張畫面的子畫素灰階值的比較;而步驟S730的比較是在於當前一級閘極線與前一級閘極線的子畫素灰階值的比較。將第一群組對應的第 一判斷結果與第二判斷結果進行邏輯或運算,如果結果為“是”,處理器110即可以利用控制訊號CTL將開關SW1在資料寫入階段時切換為不導通狀態。將第二群組對應的第一判斷結果與第二判斷結果進行邏輯或(Logical or)運算,如果結果為“是”,處理器110即可以利用控制訊號CTL將開關SW2在資料寫入階段時切換為不導通狀態。然而,如果第一判斷結果與第二判斷結果在前述的邏輯或運算中有出現“否”的結果,處理器110將不會對開關SW1、SW2有其他額外控制,因此在資料寫入階段時開關SW1、SW2就會正常啟閉,處理器110不會對開關SW1、SW2有額外控制。 Next, the
接著,如果步驟S720或步驟S730的判斷為否時,接著執行步驟S750~步驟S780,步驟S750~步驟S780的實施方式與步驟S220~步驟S250相同,在此不再贅述。步驟S720以及步驟S730的執行順序可以調換,不一定要先執行步驟S720再執行步驟S730,也可以是先執行步驟S730再執行步驟S720。 Next, if the determination of step S720 or step S730 is negative, then step S750 to step S780 are performed, and the implementation of step S750 to step S780 is the same as step S220 to step S250, and will not be repeated here. The execution order of step S720 and step S730 may be reversed. It is not necessary to perform step S720 before performing step S730, or step S730 may be performed before step S720.
於另一實施例中,顯示裝置100包含處理器110、複數個多工器120、複數個子畫素130、複數條資料線DL。多工器120電性耦接至資料線DL及子畫素130,處理器110電性耦接至多工器120。處理器110用以根據第一灰階值及第二灰階值決定第一致能時間,根據第三灰階值及第四灰階值決定第二致能時間,處理器110輸出具有第一致能時間的驅動訊號CTL以驅動多工器120的其中之一,以 及輸出具有第二致能時間的驅動訊號CTL以驅動多工器120的其中之另一,其中,第一致能時間與第二致能時間不同。 In another embodiment, the
綜上所述,本發明之多工器驅動方法及利用其方法的顯示面板可藉由比較顯示資料的差異量,並計算液晶充電所需的時間長度,來調整多工器的開啟時間。也可以再依照多工器的開啟時間總和動態調整閘極驅動電路驅動閘極線開啟與關閉的時間,不僅能夠減少源極驅動晶片(Source driver IC)的使用,同時更能確保每個子畫素皆能根據各自需求來充電,達到解決因充電不足顯示畫面對比度下降的功效。 In summary, the multiplexer driving method and the display panel using the method of the present invention can adjust the turn-on time of the multiplexer by comparing the difference of the display data and calculating the length of time required to charge the liquid crystal. The gate driver circuit can also dynamically adjust the gate line on and off time according to the total time of the multiplexer. This not only reduces the use of the source driver IC (Source driver IC), but also ensures each sub-pixel All can be charged according to their own needs to achieve the effect of reducing the contrast of the display screen due to insufficient charging.
