Description
本發明涉及一種液晶顯示器。 The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display.
液晶顯示器之液晶分子具有這樣一種特性:如果加載至液晶層二端之電場方向長時間保持不變,那麼液晶分子之特性便會遭到破壞,即無法再因應電場之變化來轉動以形成不同之灰階。故,液晶顯示器每隔一定時間就必須改變電場方向以使液晶分子反轉,從而避免液晶分子之特性遭到破壞。目前常見之反轉驅動方式有:幀反轉驅動(Frame Inversion)、列反轉驅動(Column Inversion)、行反轉驅動(Line/Row Inversion)、以及點反轉驅動(Dot Inversion)。其中,點反轉驅動又包括單線點反轉驅動(1-line dot inversion)及雙線點反轉驅動(2-line dot inversion)等驅動方式,以雙線點反轉驅動作為驅動方式之液晶顯示器能夠使得液晶顯示器之耗電較少且其畫面閃爍現象較小。 The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal display have such a characteristic that if the direction of the electric field applied to the two ends of the liquid crystal layer remains unchanged for a long time, the characteristics of the liquid crystal molecules are destroyed, that is, it is no longer possible to rotate according to the change of the electric field to form a different one. Grayscale. Therefore, the liquid crystal display must change the direction of the electric field at regular intervals to invert the liquid crystal molecules, thereby preventing the characteristics of the liquid crystal molecules from being destroyed. Currently common inversion driving methods are: Frame Inversion, Column Inversion, Line/Row Inversion, and Dot Inversion. Among them, the dot inversion driving includes a single line dot inversion driving (1-line dot inversion) and a two-line dot inversion driving (2-line dot inversion) driving method, and the double line dot inversion driving is used as the driving mode liquid crystal. The display can make the liquid crystal display consume less power and its picture flicker is less.
所謂雙線點反轉驅動,即液晶顯示器之第4i+1列與第4i+2列中各相同列之畫素所加載電壓之極性一致,第4i+3列與第4i+4列中各相同行之畫素所加載電壓之極性一致,且第4i+2列與第4i+3列中各相同行之畫素所加載電壓之極性相反,以及任意相鄰二行之同一列畫素所加載電壓之極性相反。其中,i為大於等於零之整數。各畫素所加載電壓之極性逐幀反轉。 The so-called two-line inversion driving, that is, the polarities of the voltages applied to the pixels of the same column in the 4i+1th column and the 4i+2th column of the liquid crystal display are the same, and the 4i+3th column and the 4i+4th column are respectively The polarities of the voltages applied to the pixels of the same row are the same, and the polarities of the voltages applied to the pixels of the same row in the 4i+2th column and the 4i+3th column are opposite, and the same column of pixels in any adjacent two rows The polarity of the load voltage is reversed. Where i is an integer greater than or equal to zero. The polarity of the voltage applied to each pixel is inverted frame by frame.
惟,對於第4i+1列及4i+3列之畫素,其加載電壓係逐漸地變化到所需極性之資料電壓的,故需要之充電時間較長。而對於第4i+2列與第4i+4列之畫素,其加載電壓之極性與前一列對應畫素之極性相同,則可在較短時間內達到所需之資料電壓。故,當第4i+1列與第4i+2列之同一行畫素預加相同之資料電壓時,該第4i+1列與該第4i+2列畫素實際上所存儲之電荷量不同,進而造成該第4i+1列與該第4i+2列畫素所顯示之亮度不同。故,當該液晶顯示器顯示同一灰階畫面時,其所顯示之圖像會出現亮線與暗線,使用者就會看到較嚴重之畫面閃爍現象。 However, for the pixels of the 4i+1th column and the 4i+3th column, the loading voltage gradually changes to the data voltage of the desired polarity, so the charging time required is long. For the pixels of the 4i+2th column and the 4i+4th column, the polarity of the loading voltage is the same as the polarity of the corresponding pixel in the previous column, so that the required data voltage can be reached in a shorter time. Therefore, when the same row of pixels in the 4i+1th column and the 4i+2th column is pre-applied with the same data voltage, the 4i+1th column and the 4i+2th column of pixels actually store different amounts of charge. Further, the brightness of the 4i+1th column and the 4i+2th column pixel are different. Therefore, when the liquid crystal display displays the same grayscale image, the displayed image will appear bright and dark, and the user will see a more serious flickering phenomenon.
同樣,採用列反轉驅動及其它多線點反轉驅動亦存在上述雙線點反轉驅動中所提及之問題。 Similarly, the use of column inversion driving and other multi-line inversion driving also has the problems mentioned in the above-described two-line inversion driving.
有鑑於此,有必要提供一種能夠改善顯示圖像時畫面閃爍現象之液晶顯示器。 In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a liquid crystal display capable of improving the flickering phenomenon of a picture when displaying an image.
一種液晶顯示器,其包括液晶面板、顯示控制電路及資料驅動電路。該液晶面板包括複數掃描線、與該複數掃描線絕緣相交之複數資料線、以及由該複數掃描線與該複數資料線界定之複數畫素。該顯示控制電路接收圖像訊號並根據該圖像訊號生成時序訊號及資料訊號。該資料驅動電路接收該時序訊號及該資料訊號以形成複數資料電壓。該資料驅動電路在預輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到預定電壓, 以使得對於同一灰階畫面,該極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量與該無極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量視為相同。 A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal panel, a display control circuit, and a data driving circuit. The liquid crystal panel includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines insulated from the plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of pixels defined by the plurality of scan lines and the plurality of data lines. The display control circuit receives the image signal and generates a timing signal and a data signal according to the image signal. The data driving circuit receives the timing signal and the data signal to form a complex data voltage. The data driving circuit adjusts the voltage of the complex data line to a predetermined voltage before the pre-output driving the data voltage of the pixel of the polarity-inverted column. So that for the same grayscale picture, the amount of charge stored by the pixel of the polarity inversion column is considered to be the same as the amount of charge stored by the pixel of the polarity inversion column.
相較於先前技術,由於本發明液晶顯示器之資料驅動電路在預輸出無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到預定電壓,故,該複數資料線所傳輸到對應無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓需要從該預定電壓逐漸地變化到所需極性之資料電壓,進而使得對於同一灰階畫面,極性反轉列之畫素與無極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量差異減小,從而改善該液晶顯示器顯示圖像時畫面閃爍之現象。 Compared with the prior art, since the data driving circuit of the liquid crystal display of the present invention adjusts the voltage of the complex data line to a predetermined voltage before pre-outputting the data voltage of the pixel without the polarity inversion column, the complex data line The data voltage transmitted to the pixel corresponding to the non-polarity inversion column needs to be gradually changed from the predetermined voltage to the data voltage of the desired polarity, thereby making the pixel of the polarity inversion column and the non-polarity inverse for the same gray scale picture. The difference in the amount of charge stored in the transferred pixels is reduced, thereby improving the phenomenon that the screen flickers when the liquid crystal display displays an image.
本發明之主要思想係使液晶顯示器之資料驅動電路在預輸出驅動無極性反轉列(對極性反轉列之解釋請參見本法明液晶顯示器第一實施例中所述)之畫素之資料電壓之前,將複數資料線上之電壓均調整到預定電壓,以使得對於同一灰階畫面,極性反轉列(對無極性反轉列之解釋請參見本法明液晶顯示器第一實施例中所述)之畫素所存儲之電荷量與該無極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量視為相同。其中,實現上述方案之一較佳實施方式係藉由調整液晶顯示器之顯示控制電路輸出到資料驅動電路之負載控制訊號,其中,該負載控制訊號不僅可以控制資料驅動電路輸出驅動各列畫素之資料電壓,而且還可以控制資料驅動電路調整該複數資料線上之電壓。具體地,該負載控制訊號具有複數第一觸發標示及複數第二觸發標示,該複數第一觸發標示包括複數用於觸發資料驅動電路輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之第一輸出性觸發標示、及複數用於觸發資料驅動電路輸出驅動極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之第二輸出性觸發標示,該第二觸發標示包括複數 第一調整性觸發標示,該複數第一調整性觸發標示用於在該資料驅動電路預輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,觸發該資料驅動電路將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓。其中,在該第一調整性觸發標示觸發該資料驅動電路將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓後,該第一輸出性觸發標示才觸發該資料驅動電路輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓。 The main idea of the present invention is to make the data driving circuit of the liquid crystal display in the pre-output driving non-polarity inversion column (for the explanation of the polarity inversion column, please refer to the pixel information of the first embodiment of the liquid crystal display of the present invention) Before the voltage, the voltages on the complex data lines are all adjusted to a predetermined voltage, so that for the same gray scale picture, the polarity inversion column (for the explanation of the polarity inversion column, please refer to the description in the first embodiment of the present invention) The amount of charge stored by the pixel is considered to be the same as the amount of charge stored by the pixel of the polarity-inverted column. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is a load control signal outputted to the data driving circuit by adjusting the display control circuit of the liquid crystal display, wherein the load control signal can not only control the output of the data driving circuit to drive each column of pixels. The data voltage, and can also control the data driving circuit to adjust the voltage on the complex data line. Specifically, the load control signal has a plurality of first trigger flags and a plurality of second trigger flags, and the plurality of first trigger flags includes a plurality of data voltages for triggering the data driving circuit to output the pixels of the non-polarity inversion column. The output trigger flag and the second output trigger flag for triggering the data voltage of the data driving circuit output driving polarity inversion column, the second trigger flag includes a plurality a first adjustment trigger flag, wherein the first first adjustment trigger flag is used to trigger the data driving circuit to voltage the complex data line before the data driving circuit pre-outputs the data voltage of the pixel of the polarity inversion column Both are adjusted to the predetermined voltage. After the first adjustment trigger flag triggers the data driving circuit to adjust the voltage on the complex data line to the predetermined voltage, the first output trigger flag triggers the data driving circuit to output the driving non-polarity inversion column. The data voltage of the picture.
由於液晶顯示器之資料驅動電路在預輸出用於驅動無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到同一預定電壓,即對於無極性反轉列之畫素,其充電電壓亦如極性反轉列之畫素之充電電壓一樣,具有逐漸變化之過程。故,對應無極性反轉列之畫素之充電電壓被減小,進而使得對於同一灰階畫面,極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量差異減小,從而改善該液晶顯示器顯示圖像時畫面閃爍之現象。 Since the data driving circuit of the liquid crystal display adjusts the voltage of the complex data line to the same predetermined voltage before pre-outputting the data voltage for driving the pixels of the polarity-free inversion column, that is, the pixel for the non-polarity inversion column The charging voltage is also the same as the charging voltage of the pixels of the polarity inversion column, and has a gradual change process. Therefore, the charging voltage corresponding to the pixel of the non-polarity inversion column is reduced, so that the difference in the amount of charge stored in the polarity inversion column and the pixel in the polarity inversion column is reduced for the same gray scale picture, thereby improving The phenomenon that the screen flickers when the liquid crystal display displays an image.
進一步地,該資料驅動電路在預輸出驅動極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,亦可以將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓。具體地,該第二觸發標示進一步包括複數第二調整性觸發標示,每一第二輸出性觸發標示分別對應一第二調整性觸發標示,該複數第二調整性觸發標示用於在該資料驅動電路預輸出驅動極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,觸發該資料驅動電路將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓,其中,在該第二調整性觸發標示觸發該資料驅動電路將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓後,該第二輸出性觸發標示才觸發該資料驅動電路輸出驅動極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓。即,該資料驅動電路在預輸出驅動極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,亦可以將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓。 Further, the data driving circuit may adjust the voltage of the complex data line to the predetermined voltage before pre-outputting the data voltage of the pixels of the polarity inversion column. Specifically, the second trigger flag further includes a plurality of second adjustment trigger flags, each of the second output trigger flags respectively corresponding to a second adjust trigger flag, where the second second adjust trigger flag is used to drive the data Before the circuit pre-output drives the polarity inversion of the pixel data voltage, the data driving circuit is triggered to adjust the voltage on the complex data line to the predetermined voltage, wherein the data driving circuit is triggered by the second adjustment trigger flag After the voltage on the complex data line is adjusted to the predetermined voltage, the second output trigger flag triggers the data driving circuit to output the data voltage of the pixel of the driving polarity inversion column. That is, the data driving circuit can also adjust the voltage of the complex data line to the predetermined voltage before pre-outputting the data voltage of the pixel of the polarity inversion column.
由於液晶顯示器之資料驅動電路在輸出用於驅動極性反轉列及無極性反轉列之畫素之資料電壓之前,均將複數 資料線上之電壓均調整到同一預定電壓,故,極性反轉列之畫素及無極性反轉列之畫素之充電電壓之變化規律基本相同。從而,使得對於同一灰階畫面,極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素所存儲之電荷量差異減小,進而改善該液晶顯示器顯示圖像時畫面閃爍之現象。 Since the data driving circuit of the liquid crystal display outputs the data voltage for driving the polarity inversion column and the pixel of the polarity inversion column, the plural is The voltages on the data lines are all adjusted to the same predetermined voltage. Therefore, the variation rules of the charging voltages of the pixels of the polarity inversion column and the pixels of the polarity inversion column are basically the same. Therefore, for the same gray scale picture, the difference in the amount of charge stored in the polarity inversion column and the pixel in the polarity inversion column is reduced, thereby improving the phenomenon that the picture flickers when the liquid crystal display displays an image.

請參閱圖1,其係本發明液晶顯示器第一實施方式之結構示意圖。該液晶顯示器100包括一顯示控制電路10、一液晶面板12、一掃描驅動電路14、一資料驅動電路16、一公共電壓產生電路18、多列相互平行之掃描線G1~GL(L為自然數,且L>1)、多行相互平行並分別與該多行掃描線G1~GL絕緣相交之資料線D1~DM(M為自然數,且M>1)。該多列掃描線G1~GL與該多行資料線D1~DM將該液晶面板12劃分為複數畫素127。每一畫素127包括一薄膜電晶體121、一畫素電極123、一與該畫素電極123相對設置之公共電極125及夾於該畫素電極123與該公共電極125之間之液晶分子。該薄膜電晶體121之閘極g與該掃描線GL連接,該薄膜電晶體121之源極s與該資料線DM連接,該薄膜電晶體121之汲極d與該畫素電極123連接,該複數畫素127之公共電極125係共用的。 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic structural view of a first embodiment of a liquid crystal display device of the present invention. The liquid crystal display 100 includes a display control circuit 10, a liquid crystal panel 12, a scan driving circuit 14, a data driving circuit 16, a common voltage generating circuit 18, and a plurality of columns of mutually parallel scanning lines G 1 to G L (L is The natural number, and L>1), the plurality of lines are parallel to each other and are respectively insulated from the multi-line scanning lines G 1 to G L by the data lines D 1 to D M (M is a natural number, and M>1).

Each of the pixels 127 includes a thin film transistor 121, a pixel electrode 123, a common electrode 125 disposed opposite the pixel electrode 123, and liquid crystal molecules sandwiched between the pixel electrode 123 and the common electrode 125. The gate electrode g of the thin film transistor 121 is connected to the scan line G L , the source s of the thin film transistor 121 is connected to the data line D M , and the drain d of the thin film transistor 121 is connected to the pixel electrode 123 . The common electrode 125 of the complex pixel 127 is shared.
該顯示控制電路10包括一時序控制電路130。該時序控制電路130用於接收外部之圖像資料及畫素時鐘訊號CLK,根據該圖像資料對應產生複數資料訊號(如:RGB DATA訊號)、第一控制訊號CONT1、及第二控制訊號CONT2,以及根據該畫素時鐘訊號CLK對應產生第一負載控制訊號LD1及第二負載控制訊號LD2,並將該第一控制訊號CONT1、該第一負載控制訊號LD1、該第二負載控制訊號LD2及該資料訊號提供給該資料驅動電路16,以及將該第二控制訊號CONT2提供給該掃描驅動電路14。該畫 素時鐘訊號CLK為週期變化之方波脈衝訊號,並假設其週期為T。該畫素時鐘訊號CLK用於控制該資料訊號按順序傳輸到液晶面板12中。該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之頻率與該液晶面板12之工作模式有關,該液晶面板12之解析度越高,該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之頻率亦越高。在一列內,該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期T之個數與該液晶面板12一列內具有之畫素127之數量相等。該第一負載控制訊號LD1及該第二負載控制訊號LD2均為方波脈衝訊號。 The display control circuit 10 includes a timing control circuit 130. The timing control circuit 130 is configured to receive an external image data and a pixel clock signal CLK, and generate a plurality of data signals (eg, RGB DATA signals), a first control signal CONT1, and a second control signal CONT2 according to the image data. And generating the first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 according to the pixel clock signal CLK, and the first control signal CONT1, the first load control signal LD1, the second load control signal LD2, and The data signal is supplied to the data driving circuit 16, and the second control signal CONT2 is supplied to the scan driving circuit 14. The painting The prime clock signal CLK is a periodically varying square wave pulse signal and is assumed to have a period of T. The pixel clock signal CLK is used to control the data signals to be sequentially transmitted to the liquid crystal panel 12. The frequency of the pixel clock signal CLK is related to the operating mode of the liquid crystal panel 12. The higher the resolution of the liquid crystal panel 12, the higher the frequency of the pixel clock signal CLK. In one column, the number of periods T of the pixel clock signal CLK is equal to the number of pixels 127 in the column of the liquid crystal panel 12. The first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 are square wave pulse signals.
該掃描驅動電路14接收該第二控制訊號CONT2,並對應輸出掃描電壓,該掃描電壓藉由該多列掃描線GL加載到相應之薄膜電晶體101之閘極g上,將相應之薄膜電晶體121打開。 The scan driving circuit 14 receives the second control signal CONT2 and correspondingly outputs a scan voltage. The scan voltage is applied to the gate g of the corresponding thin film transistor 101 by the multi-row scan line GL, and the corresponding thin film transistor is 121 opens.
該資料驅動電路16接收該第一控制訊號CONT1、該第一負載控制訊號LD1、該第二負載控制訊號LD2及該複數資料訊號,並轉換該複數資料訊號為相應之資料電壓。其中,該第一負載控制訊號LD1及該第二負載控制訊號LD2用於作為該資料驅動電路16輸出到每一列畫素127之資料電壓之觸發訊號。當該資料驅動電路16接收之該第一負載訊號LD1或該第二負載控制訊號LD2時,其輸出該資料電壓,該資料電壓藉由該複數資料線DM加載到相應之薄膜電晶體121之源極s上。若此時該薄膜電晶體121處於導通狀態,則該資料電壓可傳送到該薄膜電晶體121之汲極d並加載到該畫素電極123上。該公共電壓產生電路18用於向該公共電極125提供一公共電壓(Vcom)。故,該畫素電極123與該公共電極125之間會產生一電場以控制液晶分子之旋轉,從而使該液晶面板12顯示圖像。為了保護液晶分子不被損壞,該電場之方向需要週期性變化。 The data driving circuit 16 receives the first control signal CONT1, the first load control signal LD1, the second load control signal LD2, and the complex data signal, and converts the complex data signal into a corresponding data voltage. The first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 are used as trigger signals for the data voltage output by the data driving circuit 16 to each column of pixels 127. When the data driving circuit 16 receives the first load signal LD1 or the second load control signal LD2, it outputs the data voltage, and the data voltage is loaded into the corresponding thin film transistor 121 by the complex data line D M Source s. If the thin film transistor 121 is in an on state at this time, the data voltage can be transferred to the drain d of the thin film transistor 121 and loaded onto the pixel electrode 123. The common voltage generating circuit 18 is for supplying a common voltage (Vcom) to the common electrode 125. Therefore, an electric field is generated between the pixel electrode 123 and the common electrode 125 to control the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules, so that the liquid crystal panel 12 displays an image. In order to protect the liquid crystal molecules from damage, the direction of the electric field needs to be periodically changed.

Capital The material voltage is a positive polarity data voltage; when the data voltage applied to the pixel electrode 123 is lower than the common voltage of the common electrode 125, the voltage applied to the pixel 127 is defined as a negative voltage, and the definition is loaded into the picture. The data voltage of the element electrode 123 is a negative data voltage. When the absolute value of the positive polarity voltage is equal to the absolute value of the negative polarity voltage, the pixel 127 displays the same gray scale.

The liquid crystal display 100 operates in a two-line dot inversion driving mode, that is, the polarities of the voltages applied to the pixels 127 of the same row in the 4i+1th column and the 4i+2th column of the liquid crystal display 100 are the same, 4i+3 The polarity of the voltage applied to the pixel 127 of the same row in the 4i+4th column is the same, and the polarity of the voltage applied to the pixel 127 of the same row in the 4i+2th column and the 4i+3th column is opposite, and The polarity of the applied voltage of the same column of pixels 127 of any two adjacent rows is opposite. Where i is an integer greater than or equal to zero. The polarity of the voltage applied to each pixel 127 is inverted frame by frame.
當該液晶顯示器100顯示一幀畫面時,除該液晶面板12之第1行畫素127之外,當該資料驅動電路26提供給當前列與前一列之同一行畫素127之資料電壓之極性相反,則定義當前列為極性反轉列;如果當該資料驅動電路26提供給當前列與前一列之同一行畫素127之資料電壓之極性相同,則定義當前列為無極性反轉列。 When the liquid crystal display 100 displays a frame of picture, in addition to the first row of pixels 127 of the liquid crystal panel 12, when the data driving circuit 26 supplies the polarity of the data voltage of the same row of pixels 127 of the current column and the previous column. Instead, the current column is defined as a polarity inversion column; if the data driving circuit 26 supplies the same polarity to the data voltage of the same row of pixels 127 of the current column and the previous column, the current column is defined as a polarity inversion column.
進一步地,對於該液晶面板12之第1列畫素127而言,當該液晶面板12顯示第1幀畫面時,在該資料驅動電路16輸出資料電壓到第1列畫素127之前,由於該複數資料線DM上並未加載電壓,故,當該資料驅動電路16輸出對應第1列畫素127之資料電壓到該複數資料線DM時,該資料電壓在該複數資料線DM上需要從0伏逐漸上升到目標資料電壓,故,定義對應第1幀顯示畫面之第1列為極性反轉列;當該液晶面板12顯示第j幀(j為自然數,且j>1)畫面時,如果對應第j-1幀畫面之最後1列與對應第j幀畫面之第1列之同一行畫素127所加載之資料電壓之極 性相同,則定義對應第j幀畫面之第1列為無極性反轉列,相反地,則定義對應第j幀畫面之第1列為極性反轉列。 Further, in the first column of pixels 127 of the liquid crystal panel 12, when the liquid crystal panel 12 displays the first frame, the data driving circuit 16 outputs the data voltage to the first column of pixels 127, because when the voltage does not load the plurality of data lines D M, so that, when the driving circuit 16 outputs the data corresponding to the first column 127 of pixel data voltage to the plurality of data lines D M, the data voltage on the plurality of data lines D M in It is necessary to gradually increase from 0 volts to the target data voltage. Therefore, the first column corresponding to the first frame display screen is defined as the polarity inversion column; when the liquid crystal panel 12 displays the jth frame (j is a natural number, and j>1) In the case of the screen, if the polarity of the data voltage loaded in the same row of pixels corresponding to the first row of the j-1th frame and the first row of the corresponding jth frame is the same, the first frame corresponding to the jth frame is defined. The column is a non-polarity inversion column. Conversely, the first column corresponding to the j-th frame is defined as a polarity inversion column.
下面結合極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之概念,詳細地介紹該第一負載控制訊號LD1與該第二負載控制訊號LD2。該時序控制電路130根據液晶顯示器之驅動模式及其接收到之該畫素時鐘訊號CLK對應產生該第一負載控制訊號LD1及該第二負載控制訊號LD2。該第一負載控制訊號LD1用於控制該資料驅動電路16輸出對應驅動極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓。該第二負載控制訊號LD2不僅用於控制該資料驅動電路16輸出對應驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓,還用於在預輸出資料電壓到無極性反轉列之畫素127之前,控制該資料驅動電路16將該複數資料線DM上之電壓均調整到同一預定電壓。該預定電壓應滿足以下要求:當該資料驅動電路16輸出對應驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之正極性資料電壓到該複數資料線DM時,該複數資料線DM上之電壓係由該預定電壓逐漸升高到目標資料電壓的;相反地,當該資料驅動電路16輸出對應驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之負極性資料電壓到該複數資料線DM時,該複數資料線DM上之電壓係由該預定電壓逐漸下降到目標資料電壓的。進而,使得對應驅動極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓在該複數資料線DM上之變化規律與對應驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓在該複數資料線DM上之變化規律之差異減小。相應地,該極性反轉列之畫素127與該無極性反轉列之畫素127所存儲之電荷量之差異減小。其中,該預定電壓之取值範圍為:大於等於公共電壓與2伏之差且小於公共電壓與2伏之和。 The first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 are described in detail below in conjunction with the concept of the polarity inversion column and the polarity inversion column. The timing control circuit 130 generates the first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 according to the driving mode of the liquid crystal display and the received pixel clock signal CLK. The first load control signal LD1 is used to control the data driving circuit 16 to output a data voltage corresponding to the pixel 127 of the driving polarity inversion column. The second load control signal LD2 is not only used to control the data driving circuit 16 to output the data voltage corresponding to the pixel 127 of the non-polarity inversion column, but also to the pixel 127 in the pre-output data voltage to the non-polarity inversion column. Previously, the data driving circuit 16 is controlled to adjust the voltages on the complex data lines D M to the same predetermined voltage. The predetermined voltage should satisfy the following requirements: when the data driving circuit 16 outputs the positive polarity data voltage corresponding to the pixel 127 of the non-polarity inversion column to the complex data line D M , the voltage system on the complex data line D M The predetermined voltage is gradually increased to the target data voltage; conversely, when the data driving circuit 16 outputs the negative polarity data voltage corresponding to the pixel 127 of the non-polarity inversion column to the complex data line D M , the complex number The voltage on the data line D M is gradually decreased from the predetermined voltage to the target data voltage. Further, the variation of the data voltage of the pixel 127 corresponding to the driving polarity inversion column on the complex data line D M and the data voltage of the pixel 127 corresponding to the driving non-polarity inversion column are made on the complex data line D M The difference in the law of change is reduced. Correspondingly, the difference between the polarity inversion column 127 and the amount of charge stored in the non-polarity inverted column of pixels 127 is reduced. The predetermined voltage ranges from greater than or equal to a difference between the common voltage and 2 volts and less than a sum of the common voltage and 2 volts.
進一步地,該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝之下降沿優選作為第一觸發標示中之第二輸出性觸發標示,其用於觸發該資料驅動電路16輸出對應極性反轉列之畫 素127之資料電壓。該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之上升沿優選作為第二觸發標示之第一調整性觸發標示,其用於觸發該資料驅動電路16開始調整該複數資料線DM上之電壓之大小,且其高電平脈衝之寬度之大小為該資料驅動電路16對應控制調整該複數資料線DM上之電壓之時間;該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之下降沿優選作為第一觸發標示中之第一輸出性觸發標示,其用於觸發該資料驅動電路16停止調整該複數資料線DM上之電壓,並觸發該資料驅動電路16輸出對應無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓。 Further, the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1 is preferably used as the second output trigger flag in the first trigger flag, which is used to trigger the data driving circuit 16 to output a picture corresponding to the polarity inversion column. The data voltage of 127. The rising edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 is preferably used as a first adjustment trigger flag of the second trigger flag, which is used to trigger the data driving circuit 16 to start adjusting the voltage on the complex data line D M The size and the width of the high-level pulse are the time for the data driving circuit 16 to control the voltage on the complex data line D M ; the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 is preferably a first output trigger flag in the first trigger flag, configured to trigger the data driving circuit 16 to stop adjusting the voltage on the complex data line D M , and trigger the data driving circuit 16 to output a picture corresponding to the polarity inversion column The data voltage of 127.
具體地,當該資料驅動電路16接收到之該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路16輸出資料電壓並藉由該複數資料線DM加載到相應之畫素電極123。此時,加載資料電壓之畫素電極123為極性反轉列之畫素電極123。當該資料驅動電路16接收到之該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝處於上升沿時,該資料驅動電路16開始調整該複數資料線DM上之電壓,並在該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝到之下降沿到來時,將該複數資料線DM上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓。調整方式可以是:將每相鄰之二條資料線DM劃分為一組,該資料驅動電路16控制將每組中之二條資料線DM短接,由於相鄰之二條資料線DM上加載之資料電壓之極性相反,故,藉由電荷共用,使得所有之資料線DM上之電壓均被調整到該預定電壓。當該資料驅動電路16接收到之該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路16控制相短接之資料線DM彼此斷開,並控制該複數資料線DM與該資料驅動電路16之複數輸出引腳(圖未示)對應連接,從而該資料驅動電路26開始藉由該複數輸出引腳輸出用於驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓到該複數資料線DM,並藉由該薄膜電晶體121加載到相 應之畫素電極123。此時,加載資料電壓之畫素電極123為無極性反轉列之畫素電極123。 Specifically, when the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1 received by the data driving circuit 16 is at a falling edge, the data driving circuit 16 outputs a data voltage and is loaded into the corresponding data line D M by the corresponding data line D M The pixel electrode 123. At this time, the pixel electrode 123 to which the data voltage is applied is the pixel electrode 123 of the polarity inversion column. When the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 received by the data driving circuit 16 is at a rising edge, the data driving circuit 16 starts to adjust the voltage on the complex data line D M and controls the second load. When the high-level pulse of the signal LD2 comes to the falling edge, the voltage on the complex data line D M is adjusted to the predetermined voltage. The adjustment method may be: dividing each adjacent two data lines D M into one group, and the data driving circuit 16 controls to short the two data lines D M in each group, because the adjacent two data lines D M are loaded. The polarity of the data voltages is reversed, so that the voltage on all of the data lines D M is adjusted to the predetermined voltage by charge sharing. When the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 received by the data driving circuit 16 is at a falling edge, the data driving circuit 16 controls the short-circuited data lines D M to be disconnected from each other, and controls the complex data lines. The D M is connected to a plurality of output pins (not shown) of the data driving circuit 16, so that the data driving circuit 26 starts outputting the data of the pixel 127 for driving the polarity inversion-free column through the complex output pin. The voltage is applied to the complex data line D M and loaded to the corresponding pixel electrode 123 by the thin film transistor 121. At this time, the pixel electrode 123 to which the data voltage is applied is the pixel electrode 123 having no polarity inversion column.
此外,由於在任意一列內,該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期個數與該液晶面板12一列內具有之畫素127之數量相等,而該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1、LD2為控制該資料驅動電路16輸出對應極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓之脈衝訊號,故,每一負載控制訊號LD1、LD2之任意二相鄰之高電平脈衝之間之寬度均為該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期T之整數倍。相應地,根據該畫素時鐘訊號之週期T之大小,該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1、LD2之高電平脈衝之寬度、該第一負載控制訊號LD1之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之寬度、以及該第二負載控制訊號LD2之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之寬度均採用為該畫素時鐘訊號之週期T之多少倍來表示。 In addition, in any column, the number of periods of the pixel clock signal CLK is equal to the number of pixels 127 in the column of the liquid crystal panel 12, and the first and second load control signals LD1, LD2 are controlled. The data driving circuit 16 outputs a pulse signal corresponding to the data voltage of the pixel 127 of the polarity inversion column and the polarity inversion column, so that between any two adjacent high level pulses of each of the load control signals LD1 and LD2 The width is an integer multiple of the period T of the pixel clock signal CLK. Correspondingly, according to the period T of the pixel clock signal, the width of the high-level pulse of the first and second load control signals LD1 and LD2, and the adjacent high-voltage of the first load control signal LD1 The width of the flat pulse and the width of each of the two adjacent high-level pulses of the second load control signal LD2 are represented by how many times the period T of the pixel clock signal is used.
該時序控制電路130根據該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期、該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1、LD2之高電平脈衝之寬度、該第一負載控制訊號LD1之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之寬度、以及該第二負載控制訊號LD2之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之寬度,進而對應產生該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1、LD2。 The timing control circuit 130 is configured according to the period of the pixel clock signal CLK, the width of the high level pulse of the first and second load control signals LD1 and LD2, and the adjacent high power of the first load control signal LD1. The width of the flat pulse and the width of each of the two adjacent high-level pulses of the second load control signal LD2 further generate the first and second load control signals LD1, LD2.
對於雙線點反轉之驅動方式,該時序控制電路130藉由輸出該第二負載控制訊號LD2給該資料驅動電路16,進而使得該資料驅動電路16在該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之控制下,既能夠實現對該複數資料線DM上之電壓進行調整,亦能夠實現輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓。進一步地,對於其他未在本說明書中所提及之反轉驅動方式(限於有極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之分之反轉驅動方式),藉由人為調整該時序控制電路130之內部參數,能夠使得該時序控制電路130產生與該液晶顯示器100所採用之反轉驅動方式相對應之第二負載 控制訊號LD2,該資料驅動電路16在該相對應之第二負載控制訊號LD2之控制下,同樣既能夠實現對該複數資料線DM上之電壓進行調整,亦能夠實現輸出驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓。進而,當該液晶顯示器100顯示同一灰階畫面時,各列畫素127所存儲之電荷量基本相同。從而,減少該液晶顯示器100之畫面閃爍現象。 For the two-line inversion driving mode, the timing control circuit 130 outputs the second load control signal LD2 to the data driving circuit 16, thereby causing the data driving circuit 16 to be powered by the second load control signal LD2. Under the control of the flat pulse, the voltage on the complex data line D M can be adjusted, and the data voltage of the pixel 127 of the output driving non-polarity inversion column can also be realized. Further, for other inversion driving methods not mentioned in the present specification (limited to the inversion driving method of the polarity inversion column and the non-polarity inversion column), the timing control circuit 130 is artificially adjusted. The internal control parameter enables the timing control circuit 130 to generate a second load control signal LD2 corresponding to the reverse driving mode adopted by the liquid crystal display device 100. The data driving circuit 16 is in the corresponding second load control signal LD2. Under control, the voltage on the complex data line DM can also be adjusted, and the data voltage of the pixel 127 of the output-driven polarity-free inversion column can also be realized. Further, when the liquid crystal display 100 displays the same grayscale picture, the amount of charge stored in each column of pixels 127 is substantially the same. Thereby, the flickering phenomenon of the liquid crystal display 100 is reduced.
請同時參閱圖3,其係該液晶顯示器100之驅動時序圖。以該液晶顯示器100顯示同一灰階畫面為例,其工作原理如下:該公共電壓產生電路18持續輸出公共電壓到該公共電極125。 Please refer to FIG. 3 at the same time, which is a driving timing diagram of the liquid crystal display 100. Taking the liquid crystal display 100 as an example of displaying the same grayscale picture, the working principle is as follows: the common voltage generating circuit 18 continuously outputs a common voltage to the common electrode 125.
該顯示控制電路10之時序控制電路130接收外部之圖像訊號及畫素時鐘訊號CLK,並對應輸出複數資料訊號、第一控制訊號CONT1、第二控制訊號CONT2、第一負載控制訊號LD1及第二負載控制訊號LD2。其中,該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之寬度優選為30T。由於該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝之寬度之對於該資料驅動電路16調整該資料線DM上之電壓並不起作用,故,該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝之寬度與現有技術中之負載控制訊號之高電平脈衝之寬度相同即可。 The timing control circuit 130 of the display control circuit 10 receives the external image signal and the pixel clock signal CLK, and correspondingly outputs the complex data signal, the first control signal CONT1, the second control signal CONT2, the first load control signal LD1, and the first The second load control signal LD2. The width of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 is preferably 30T. Since the high-level pulse width of the first load control signal LD1 of the data driving circuit 16 for adjusting the voltage on the data line D M does not function, therefore, the load of the first high-level pulse of the control signal LD1 The width is the same as the width of the high level pulse of the load control signal in the prior art.
該掃描驅動電路14接收該第二控制訊號CONT2,並對應輸出掃描電壓,該掃描電壓藉由該多列掃描線GL加載到相應之薄膜電晶體101之閘極g上,將相應之薄膜電晶體121打開。 The scan driving circuit 14 receives the second control signal CONT2 and correspondingly outputs a scan voltage. The scan voltage is applied to the gate g of the corresponding thin film transistor 101 by the multi-row scan line G L , and the corresponding thin film is electrically charged. The crystal 121 is opened.
該資料驅動電路16接收該第一控制訊號CONT1、該第一負載控制訊號LD1及該第二負載控制訊號LD2及該複數資料訊號,並轉換該複數資料訊號為對應之資料電壓。當該資料驅動電路16接收到的訊號係該第一負載控制訊號LD1、且該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路16輸出用於驅動極性反轉列之畫 素127之資料電壓到該複數資料線DM,該複數資料線DM上之電壓開始逐漸變化到目標資料電壓。其中,該複數資料線DM上之電壓在逐漸變化之過程中之某一時刻,該掃描驅動電路14輸出閘極導通之掃描電壓給相應之掃描線GL,使得與該掃描線GL相連接之薄膜電晶體121導通,則該複數資料線DM上之資料電壓可傳送到該薄膜電晶體121之汲極d並加載到該畫素電極123上。當該畫素電極123上之資料電壓加載完畢之後,該掃描驅動電路14輸出閘極截止之掃描電壓給該相應之掃描線GL,使得與該掃描線GL相連接之薄膜電晶體121截止。當該資料驅動電路16接收到之訊號係該第二負載控制訊號LD2、且該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝處於上升沿時,該資料驅動電路16開始調整該複數資料線DM上之電壓,並在該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝處於下降沿時,使得該複數資料線DM上之電壓均達到同一預定電壓,且在該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路16輸出用於驅動相應之無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓到該複數資料線DM,該複數資料線DM上之電壓同樣逐漸變化到所需之目標資料電壓。若此時該薄膜電晶體121處於打開狀態,則該資料電壓可傳送到該薄膜電晶體121之汲極d並加載到該畫素電極123上,從而該液晶面板12實現畫面顯示。其中,由圖3中之資料電壓之波形可以看出,當極性反轉列之某一畫素127被施加正極性之資料電壓後,與該施加正極性之資料電壓之畫素127對應連接之資料線DM上之電壓首先下降到該預定電壓,然後在下一無極性反轉列之畫素127被充電時再開始上升到目標資料電壓。相反地,該資料線DM上之電壓首先上升到該預定電壓,然後再下降到目標資料電壓。 The data driving circuit 16 receives the first control signal CONT1, the first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2 and the complex data signal, and converts the complex data signal into a corresponding data voltage. When the signal received by the data driving circuit 16 is the first load control signal LD1 and the high level pulse of the first load control signal LD1 is at the falling edge, the data driving circuit 16 outputs the polarity inversion column for driving. the 127 pixel data voltage to the plurality of data lines D M, the voltage of the plurality of data lines D M gradually changes the target data voltage. At a certain point in the process of gradually changing the voltage on the complex data line D M , the scan driving circuit 14 outputs the scan voltage of the gate conduction to the corresponding scan line G L so that the scan line G L is When the connected thin film transistor 121 is turned on, the data voltage on the complex data line D M can be transferred to the drain d of the thin film transistor 121 and loaded onto the pixel electrode 123. After the data voltage on the pixel electrode 123 is loaded, the scan driving circuit 14 outputs a scan voltage of the gate cutoff to the corresponding scan line G L , so that the thin film transistor 121 connected to the scan line G L is turned off. . When the signal received by the data driving circuit 16 is the second load control signal LD2 and the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 is at the rising edge, the data driving circuit 16 starts to adjust the complex data line D M The voltage on the second load control signal LD2 is at a falling edge, so that the voltages on the plurality of data lines D M reach the same predetermined voltage, and the second load control signal LD2 is high. When the level pulse is at the falling edge, the data driving circuit 16 outputs a data voltage for driving the pixel 127 of the corresponding polarity-inverted column to the complex data line D M , and the voltage on the complex data line D M is also gradually Change to the desired target data voltage. If the thin film transistor 121 is in an open state at this time, the data voltage can be transmitted to the drain d of the thin film transistor 121 and loaded onto the pixel electrode 123, so that the liquid crystal panel 12 realizes the screen display. It can be seen from the waveform of the data voltage in FIG. 3 that when a certain pixel 127 of the polarity inversion column is applied with a positive polarity data voltage, it is connected with the pixel 127 of the data voltage to which the positive polarity is applied. The voltage on the data line D M first drops to the predetermined voltage, and then begins to rise to the target data voltage when the pixel 127 of the next polarity inversion column is charged. Conversely, the voltage on the data line D M first rises to the predetermined voltage and then falls to the target data voltage.
由於該液晶顯示器100之資料驅動電路16在預輸出用於驅動無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓之前,將該複 數資料線DM上之電壓均調整到同一預定電壓,即對於無極性反轉列之畫素127,其充電電壓亦如極性反轉列之畫素127之充電電壓一樣,具有逐漸變化之過程。故,對應無極性反轉列之畫素127之充電電壓被減小,進而使得對於同一灰階畫面,極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素127所存儲之電荷量差異減小,從而改善該液晶顯示器100顯示圖像時畫面閃爍之現象。 The data driving circuit 16 of the liquid crystal display device 100 adjusts the voltages on the plurality of data lines D M to the same predetermined voltage before pre-outputting the data voltage for driving the pixels 127 of the polarity-free inversion column, that is, for the stepless The pixel 127 of the sex inversion column has the same charging voltage as the charging voltage of the pixel 127 of the polarity inversion column, and has a gradual change process. Therefore, the charging voltage corresponding to the pixel 127 of the non-polarity inversion column is reduced, so that the difference in the amount of charge stored by the pixel 127 stored in the polarity inversion column and the polarity inversion column is reduced for the same gray scale picture. Thereby, the phenomenon that the screen flickers when the liquid crystal display 100 displays an image is improved.
惟,在上述之實施方式中,閃爍現象雖於很大程度上得之了改善,但是仍存有閃爍之問題。上述液晶顯示器100係利用第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝實現資料電壓之充放電,並且該第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之寬度係固定之,但是外部圖像訊號之幀頻率並不統一。對於不同之幀頻率,該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期係不同的,且對於不同之幀頻率,該複數資料線DM上之資料電壓之充放電速度會有所不同。其中,隨著幀頻率之增加,該複數資料線DM上之電壓充電到目標資料電壓之速度變慢,且藉由將二條資料線短接使目標資料電壓放電到該預定電壓之速度亦變慢。故,如果對於不同之幀頻率,該時序控制電路130輸出之第二負載控制訊號LD2之高電平脈衝之寬度均相同,對於較高幀頻率之圖像訊號,該資料驅動電路16所控制之相互短接之資料線DM上之電壓在未達到該預定電壓時,就結束放電。相應地,該極性反轉列之畫素127與該無極性反轉列之畫素127之充電電壓仍然存在較明顯之差異,進而,對於不同之幀頻率之圖像訊號,使用者仍然能夠看到該液晶顯示器100存在畫面閃爍之現象。特別係未來液晶顯示器之發展方向將會趨向於120HZ與60HZ,甚至一液晶顯示器具有二種或多種刷新頻率,如,採用動估計/運動補償(Motion Estimate/Motion Compensation,ME/MC)技術之液晶顯示器,使用者就更容易看到畫面閃爍之現象。 However, in the above embodiment, although the flicker phenomenon is largely improved, there is still a problem of flicker. The liquid crystal display device 100 uses the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 to charge and discharge the data voltage, and the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 is fixed, but the frame of the external image signal is fixed. The frequency is not uniform. For different frame frequencies, the period of the pixel clock signal CLK is different, and the charging and discharging speeds of the data voltages on the complex data line D M may be different for different frame frequencies. Wherein, as the frame frequency increases, the voltage on the complex data line D M is charged to the target data voltage, and the speed at which the target data voltage is discharged to the predetermined voltage is shortened by shorting the two data lines. slow. Therefore, if the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 output by the timing control circuit 130 is the same for different frame frequencies, the data driving circuit 16 controls the image signal of the higher frame frequency. When the voltage on the data line D M which is shorted to each other does not reach the predetermined voltage, the discharge is terminated. Correspondingly, there is still a significant difference between the pixel of the polarity inversion column and the charging voltage of the pixel 127 of the polarity inversion column. Further, for image signals of different frame frequencies, the user can still watch There is a phenomenon that the liquid crystal display 100 flickers. In particular, the future development direction of liquid crystal displays will tend to 120HZ and 60HZ, and even a liquid crystal display has two or more refresh frequencies, such as liquid crystal using Motion Estimate/Motion Compensation (ME/MC) technology.

The multi-column scan line With the multi-line data line The liquid crystal panel 22 is divided into a plurality of pixels 227. Each of the pixels 227 includes a thin film transistor 221, a pixel electrode 223, a common electrode 225 disposed opposite the pixel electrode 223, and liquid crystal molecules sandwiched between the pixel electrode 223 and the common electrode 225. a gate g' of the thin film transistor 221 and the scan line Connecting, the source s' of the thin film transistor 221 and the data line Connected, the drain d' of the thin film transistor 221 is connected to the pixel electrode 223, and the common electrode 225 of the plurality of pixels 227 is shared.
其中,該液晶面板22、該掃描驅動電路24、該資料驅動電路26、該公共電壓產生電路28、該多列掃描線、該多行數據線以及該畫素227之結構與功能均對應與第一實施方式之液之液晶面板10、掃描驅動電路14、資料驅動電路16、公共電壓產生電路18、多列掃描線G1~GL、多行資料線D1~DM以及畫素127之結構與功能相同,故,關於上述元件之結構與功能,此處不再贅述。 The liquid crystal panel 22, the scan driving circuit 24, the data driving circuit 26, the common voltage generating circuit 28, and the multi-column scanning line The multi-line data line And the pixel structure and function 227 corresponds to a first embodiment of the liquid crystal panel 10 of the embodiment, the scan driving circuit 14, a data driving circuit 16, the common voltage generating circuit 18, a plurality of rows of scanning lines G 1 ~ G L, multi- The structure and function of the line data lines D 1 to D M and the pixels 127 are the same, and therefore, the structure and function of the above elements will not be described herein.
該液晶顯示器200之顯示控制電路20進一步包括一頻率偵測器210及一記憶體220。該記憶體220包括一查找表222,該查找表222存儲有不同之幀頻率、及與每一幀頻率相對應之第一負載訊號LD1'及第二負載訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度。其中,該第一負載訊號LD1'及第二負載訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度採用畫素時鐘訊號CLK' 之週期之倍數表示。該頻率偵測器210用於偵測該顯示控制電路20所接收之外部圖像訊號之幀頻率,並將偵測到之相應之幀頻率輸出給該時序控制電路230。該時序控制電路230根據接收到之幀頻率,對應查找該查找表222中與接收到之幀頻率相對應之第一、第二負載訊號LD1'、LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度,並根據相應之畫素時鐘訊號CLK'之週期之大小、該第一負載訊號LD1'之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之間之寬度、及該第二負載訊號LD2'之每二相鄰之高電平脈衝之間之寬度,對應生成該第一負載控制訊號LD1'及該第二負載控制訊號LD2'。其中,該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之下降沿優選作為第一觸發標示中之第二輸出性觸發標示;該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之下降沿優選作為第一觸發標示之第一輸出性觸發標示;該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之上升沿優選作為第二觸發標示之第一調整性觸發標示。 The display control circuit 20 of the liquid crystal display 200 further includes a frequency detector 210 and a memory 220. The memory 220 includes a lookup table 222 that stores different frame frequencies and the width of the high level pulse of the first load signal LD1' and the second load signal LD2' corresponding to each frame frequency. . The width of the high-level pulse of the first load signal LD1' and the second load signal LD2' is represented by a pixel clock signal CLK' The multiple of the period is expressed. The frequency detector 210 is configured to detect a frame frequency of the external image signal received by the display control circuit 20, and output the detected frame frequency to the timing control circuit 230. The timing control circuit 230 correspondingly searches for the width of the high-level pulse of the first and second load signals LD1 ′, LD 2 ′ corresponding to the received frame frequency in the look-up table 222 according to the received frame frequency, and according to The period of the corresponding pixel clock signal CLK', the width between each two adjacent high-level pulses of the first load signal LD1', and the height of each second adjacent signal LD2' The width between the level pulses corresponds to the generation of the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control signal LD2'. The falling edge of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' is preferably used as the second output trigger flag in the first trigger flag; the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is preferred. The first output trigger flag is used as the first trigger flag; the rising edge of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2 ′ is preferably used as the first adjustment trigger flag of the second trigger flag.
對於不同之幀頻率,該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度係不同的,且隨著幀頻率之增加而增加;對於同一幀頻率,該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度係相同的。由於該第一負載控制訊號LD1'對該資料驅動電路26調整該複數資料線上之電壓之並不起作用,故,對於同一幀頻率及不同之幀頻率,該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度可以均相同,亦可以不同。為計算簡便,對於同一幀頻率及不同之幀頻率,選擇該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度均相同。 For different frame frequencies, the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is different, and increases with the increase of the frame frequency; for the same frame frequency, the second load control signal LD2' is high. The width of the level pulses is the same. The first load control signal LD1' adjusts the complex data line to the data driving circuit 26 The voltage on the upper layer does not function. Therefore, the widths of the high-level pulses of the first load control signal LD1' may be the same or different for the same frame frequency and different frame frequencies. For simple calculation, the width of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' is selected to be the same for the same frame frequency and different frame frequencies.
另外,用T'表示畫素時鐘訊號CLK'之週期之大小。由於該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1'、LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度均採用該畫素時鐘訊號CLK'之週期之倍數表示,而該顯示控制電路20接收到之畫素時鐘訊號CLK'之週期係隨著幀頻率之增加而減小的,故,對於第二負載控制訊號LD2',存儲在該查找表222中之第二負載控制訊號LD2'之 高電平脈衝之寬度相對於畫素時鐘訊號CLK'之週期之倍數係隨著幀頻率之增加而增加的。 In addition, the period of the period of the pixel clock signal CLK' is represented by T'. The width of the high-level pulse of the first and second load control signals LD1 ′, LD2 ′ is represented by a multiple of the period of the pixel clock signal CLK′, and the pixel control signal received by the display control circuit 20 is received. The period of CLK' decreases as the frame frequency increases. Therefore, for the second load control signal LD2', the second load control signal LD2' stored in the lookup table 222 is The width of the high-level pulse relative to the period of the pixel clock signal CLK' increases as the frame frequency increases.
請參閱表1,其係該查找表222之示意圖。為更加清楚簡潔地說明本發明,現以分別傳輸到該液晶顯示器200之圖像訊號之幀頻率為60HZ及75HZ為例進行說明。當該液晶顯示器200顯示同一灰階畫面時,為使極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素227所存儲之電荷量之差異減小,經過多次量測,在幀頻率為60HZ時,該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度優選為25T'。在幀頻率為75HZ時,該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度優選為35T'。而對於該幀頻率60HZ與75HZ,該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度均選擇為30T'。然後將該幀頻率60HZ與70HZ,以及該第一、第二負載控制訊號LD1'、LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度預先存儲於該查找表222中。 Please refer to Table 1, which is a schematic diagram of the lookup table 222. In order to explain the present invention more clearly and concisely, the frame frequencies of the image signals respectively transmitted to the liquid crystal display 200 are 60HZ and 75HZ as an example. When the liquid crystal display 200 displays the same grayscale picture, the difference between the charge amount stored in the polarity inversion column and the pixel inversion-free column 227 is reduced, and after multiple measurements, when the frame frequency is 60 Hz. The width of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is preferably 25T'. When the frame frequency is 75 Hz, the width of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is preferably 35T'. For the frame frequencies 60HZ and 75HZ, the width of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' is selected to be 30T'. Then, the frame frequencies 60HZ and 70HZ, and the widths of the high-level pulses of the first and second load control signals LD1', LD2' are pre-stored in the lookup table 222.

The driving method includes the following steps: step S1: receiving an image signal and a pixel clock signal CLK'; step S2: detecting a frame frequency of the image signal; and step S3: correspondingly finding a lookup table according to the detected frame frequency 222, the width of the high level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' corresponding to the detected frame frequency, and the width of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2'; step S4: according to the pixel The period of the clock signal CLK', the width between each two adjacent high-level pulses of the first load control signal LD1', and the interval between the two high-level pulses of the second load control signal LD2' The width, the width of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1', and the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' are correspondingly generated to generate the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control. The signal LD2' outputs the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control signal LD2' to the data driving circuit 26; Step S5: the data driving circuit 26 receives the load control signal LD1' and the second load Control signal LD2', the The falling edge of the high-level pulse of the load control signal LD1' triggers the data driving circuit 26 to output the data voltage of the pixel 227 driving the corresponding polarity inversion column, and the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' The rising edge triggers the data driving circuit 26 to start adjusting the complex data line The voltage above, and when the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' arrives, the complex data line The voltage is adjusted to a predetermined voltage. Then, the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' triggers the data driving circuit 26 to output the data voltage of the pixel 227 of the corresponding polarity-free inversion column. .
請一併參閱圖6與圖7,圖6係該液晶顯示器200之刷新頻率為60HZ時之驅動時序圖。圖7係該液晶顯示器 200之刷新頻率為75HZ時之驅動時序圖。以該液晶顯示器200顯示同一灰階畫面為例,具體說明該液晶顯示器200之驅動方法如下:該顯示控制電路20接收外部之圖像訊號及畫素時鐘訊號CLK',該頻率偵測器210偵測該圖像訊號之幀頻率,當其偵測到之幀頻率為60HZ時,該時序控制電路230查找該查找表222中與幀頻率為60HZ相對應之第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度為30T',該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度為25T',然後對應產生該第一負載控制訊號LD1'及該第二負載控制訊號LD2',並輸出該第一負載控制訊號LD1'及該第二負載控制訊號LD2'到該資料驅動電路26。 Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 together. FIG. 6 is a driving timing diagram of the liquid crystal display 200 with a refresh frequency of 60 Hz. Figure 7 is the liquid crystal display The driving timing chart of the refresh rate of 200 is 75HZ. Taking the same grayscale screen as the liquid crystal display 200 as an example, the driving method of the liquid crystal display 200 is as follows: the display control circuit 20 receives an external image signal and a pixel clock signal CLK', and the frequency detector 210 detects The frame frequency of the image signal is measured. When the detected frame frequency is 60 Hz, the timing control circuit 230 searches for the high voltage of the first load control signal LD1' corresponding to the frame frequency of 60 Hz in the lookup table 222. The width of the flat pulse is 30T', the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is 25T', and then the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control signal LD2' are correspondingly generated and output. The first load control signal LD1 ′ and the second load control signal LD 2 ′ are sent to the data driving circuit 26 .
當該頻率偵測器210偵測之該圖像訊號之幀頻率為75HZ時,該時序控制電路230查找該查找表222中與幀頻率為75HZ相對應之第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度為30T',該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度為35T',然後對應產生該第一負載控制訊號LD1'及該第二負載控制訊號LD2',並輸出該第一負載控制訊號LD1'及該第二負載控制訊號LD2'到該資料驅動電路26。 When the frame frequency of the image signal detected by the frequency detector 210 is 75 Hz, the timing control circuit 230 searches for the high voltage of the first load control signal LD1' corresponding to the frame frequency of 75 Hz in the lookup table 222. The width of the flat pulse is 30T', the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' is 35T', and then the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control signal LD2' are correspondingly generated and output. The first load control signal LD1 ′ and the second load control signal LD 2 ′ are sent to the data driving circuit 26 .
另外,該時序控制電路230還輸出第一控制訊號CONT1'及資料訊號(如:RGB DATA')到該資料驅動電路26,以及輸出第二控制訊號CONT2'到該掃描驅動電路24。該資料驅動電路26轉換該資料訊號為相應之資料電壓並輸出該資料電壓到該複數資料線,當該掃描驅動電路24輸出之掃描電壓藉由該掃描線加載到相應之薄膜電晶體221之閘極g'上,將相應之薄膜電晶體221打開時,該複數資料電壓藉由該複數資料線加載到相應之畫素227之畫素電極223上。同時,公共電壓產生電路28持續輸出公共電壓到該相應之畫素227之公共電極225上,從而液晶面板22實現畫面顯示。 In addition, the timing control circuit 230 further outputs a first control signal CONT1' and a data signal (eg, RGB DATA') to the data driving circuit 26, and outputs a second control signal CONT2' to the scan driving circuit 24. The data driving circuit 26 converts the data signal into a corresponding data voltage and outputs the data voltage to the plurality of data lines When the scan voltage outputted by the scan driving circuit 24 is used by the scan line Loading the gate electrode g' of the corresponding thin film transistor 221, and turning on the corresponding thin film transistor 221, the complex data voltage is passed through the complex data line It is loaded onto the pixel electrode 223 of the corresponding pixel 227. At the same time, the common voltage generating circuit 28 continuously outputs a common voltage to the common electrode 225 of the corresponding pixel 227, so that the liquid crystal panel 22 realizes picture display.
其中,當該資料驅動電路26接收到之該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝開始處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路26開始輸出用於驅動相應之極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓到該多行資料線,而當該資料驅動電路26接收到之該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝開始處於上升沿時,該資料驅動電路26控制使得每相鄰之二條資料線短接,進而,該複數資料線開始放電,並在該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝開始處於下降沿時,該資料驅動電路26控制相短接之資料線彼此斷開,並控制該複數資料線與該資料驅動電路26之複數輸出引腳(圖未示)對應連接,此時,該複數資料線上之電壓均為同一預定電壓。另外,在該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之下降沿之觸發下,該資料驅動電路26藉由其複數輸出引腳輸出用於驅動無極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓。其中,該預定電壓之取值範圍為:大於等於公共電壓與2伏之差且小於公共電壓與2伏之和。 When the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' received by the data driving circuit 26 starts to be at a falling edge, the data driving circuit 26 starts outputting the pixel 227 for driving the corresponding polarity inversion column. Data voltage to the multi-line data line When the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' received by the data driving circuit 26 starts to be at a rising edge, the data driving circuit 26 controls such that each adjacent two data lines Short circuit, and further, the plurality of data lines The discharge starts, and when the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' starts to fall, the data driving circuit 26 controls the short-circuited data lines. Disconnect from each other and control the multiple data lines Corresponding to the plurality of output pins (not shown) of the data driving circuit 26, at this time, the plurality of data lines The voltages on them are all the same predetermined voltage. In addition, under the trigger of the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2', the data driving circuit 26 outputs the data for driving the pixel 227 of the polarity-free inversion column through the plurality of output pins thereof. Voltage. The predetermined voltage ranges from greater than or equal to a difference between the common voltage and 2 volts and less than a sum of the common voltage and 2 volts.
對於不同之幀頻率,藉由調整該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之每一高電平脈衝之寬度,從而使得該資料驅動電路26在預輸出用於驅動無極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓之前,能夠控制該資料驅動電路26將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓,從而使得驅動極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓與驅動無極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓在資料線上之變化規律趨於相同。故,當該薄膜電晶體221接收到閘極導通之掃描電壓時,存儲到極性反轉列之畫素227之電荷量與存儲到無極性反轉列之電荷量基本相同,進而,對於不同之幀頻率,該液晶顯示器200畫面閃爍現象較小。 For different frame frequencies, by adjusting the width of each high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2', the data driving circuit 26 pre-outputs the pixel 227 for driving the polarity-inverted column. Before the data voltage, the data driving circuit 26 can be controlled to the complex data line The upper voltage is adjusted to the predetermined voltage, so that the data voltage of the pixel 227 driving the polarity inversion column and the data voltage of the pixel 227 driving the polarity inversion column are on the data line. The law of change tends to be the same. Therefore, when the thin film transistor 221 receives the scan voltage of the gate conduction, the charge amount of the pixel 227 stored in the polarity inversion column is substantially the same as the charge amount stored in the polarity inversion reverse column, and further, At the frame frequency, the liquid crystal display 200 has a small flickering phenomenon.
由於該顯示控制電路20對接收到之圖像訊號之幀頻率進行偵測,對於不同之幀頻率,其輸出到該資料驅動電路26之第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度不 同,且隨著幀頻率之增加而增加,以控制該資料驅動電路26在輸出資料電壓到無極性反轉列之畫素227之前,將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓,進而使得對應無極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓與對應極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓在該複數資料線上之變化規律基本一致,從而使得該極性反轉列與該無極性反轉列之畫素227所存儲之電荷量基本相同。故,該液晶顯示器200在接收到不同幀頻率之圖像訊號時,均能夠改善其顯示圖像時畫面閃爍之現象。 Since the display control circuit 20 detects the frame frequency of the received image signal, the width of the high-level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' outputted to the data driving circuit 26 is different for different frame frequencies. And increasing as the frame frequency increases to control the data driving circuit 26 to output the data voltage to the pixel 227 of the polarity inversion column before the complex data line The upper voltage is adjusted to the predetermined voltage, so that the data voltage of the pixel 227 corresponding to the non-polarity inversion column and the data voltage of the pixel 227 corresponding to the polarity inversion column are on the complex data line. The change rule is basically the same, so that the polarity inversion column is substantially the same as the amount of charge stored in the pixel 227 of the polarity inversion column. Therefore, when receiving the image signals of different frame frequencies, the liquid crystal display 200 can improve the phenomenon that the screen flickers when the image is displayed.
對於上述液晶顯示器200,由於該第一負載控制訊號LD1'對於該預定電壓之調整並不起作用,故,對於不同之幀頻率,該查找表222中所儲存之對應構成該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之寬度亦可以不限於30T'。同樣,該第二負載控制訊號LD2'之高電平脈衝之寬度亦可以為其他數值。對於本領域之技術人員而言,由於液晶顯示器之相關配置不同以及相應之測量實驗條件不同,均可能導致實驗得出與本案說明書記載之時鐘數量不同之時鐘數量。故,並不能以本說明書記載之數值為限。 For the liquid crystal display 200, since the first load control signal LD1' does not function for the adjustment of the predetermined voltage, the corresponding stored in the lookup table 222 constitutes the first load control signal for different frame frequencies. The width of the high level pulse of LD1' may not be limited to 30T'. Similarly, the width of the high level pulse of the second load control signal LD2' can also be other values. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that due to the different configurations of the liquid crystal display and the corresponding measurement experimental conditions, the number of clocks different from the number of clocks described in the present specification may be obtained. Therefore, it cannot be limited to the values stated in this manual.
請參閱圖8,其係本發明液晶顯示器第三實施方式之驅動時序圖。該液晶顯示器(圖未示)與該液晶顯示器200之結構大致相同,其區別僅在於:對於同一幀頻率,第三實施方式之液晶顯示器之時序控制電路僅產生一負載控制訊號LD"。該負載控制訊號LD"控制資料驅動電路在輸出每列之畫素之資料電壓之前,將該複數資料線上之電壓均調整到預定電壓。該負載控制訊號LD"之高電平脈衝之上升沿觸發該資料驅動電路對該複數資料線上之電壓進行調整,並在該負載控制訊號LD"之高電平脈衝之下降沿到來時,將該複數資料線上之電壓調整到該預定電壓。且在該負載控制訊號LD"之高電平脈衝之下降沿觸發下,該資料驅動電路輸出驅動相應列之畫素之資料電壓。 Please refer to FIG. 8, which is a driving timing diagram of a third embodiment of the liquid crystal display of the present invention. The liquid crystal display (not shown) has substantially the same structure as the liquid crystal display 200, and the only difference is that the timing control circuit of the liquid crystal display of the third embodiment generates only one load control signal LD" for the same frame frequency. The control signal LD" controls the data driving circuit to adjust the voltage on the complex data line to a predetermined voltage before outputting the data voltage of each column of pixels.

本發明並不限於上述實施方式,該液晶顯示器100、200之驅動方式還可以為一加二線之點反轉驅動方式等。其中,該一加二線之點反轉驅動方式為:該液晶顯示器100、200之第4i+2列與第4i+3列中之同一列畫素127、227所加載之電壓極性相同,第4i+1列與第4i+4列中之同一列畫素127、227所加載電壓之極性相同,而第4i+2列與第4i+3列中之同一列畫素127、227所加載電壓之極性相反,且任意相鄰二行之同一列之畫素127、227所加載之電壓極性相反。各畫素127、227所加載電壓之極性逐幀反轉。其中,i為大於等於零之整數。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the driving method of the liquid crystal displays 100 and 200 may be a two-line dot inversion driving method or the like. Wherein, the one-and two-line dot inversion driving method is: the voltages of the same row of pixels 127 and 227 in the 4i+2th column and the 4i+3th column of the liquid crystal display 100 and 200 are the same, The polarity of the voltage applied to the same column of pixels 127 and 227 in the 4i+1 column and the 4i+4th column is the same, and the voltages of the same column pixels 127 and 227 in the 4i+2th column and the 4i+3th column are applied. The polarities are opposite, and the voltages of the pixels 127, 227 of the same column of any two adjacent rows are opposite in polarity. The polarity of the voltage applied to each pixel 127, 227 is inverted frame by frame. Where i is an integer greater than or equal to zero.
該液晶顯示器100、200可以採用極性每三列或更多列之點反轉驅動方式、以及二列或多列之列反轉驅動方式。 The liquid crystal display devices 100 and 200 may employ a dot inversion driving method with three or more columns of polarity and a column inversion driving method of two or more columns.
在一種變更實施例中,該時序控制電路130根據該液晶顯示器100之驅動模式以及該畫素時鐘訊號CLK之週期T之大小,對應僅產生一負載控制訊號LD,該負載控制訊號LD之波形具體如圖9所示。實際上,該負載控制訊號 LD即為第一負載控制訊號LD1與第二負載控制訊號LD2合成後之訊號。故,該資料驅動電路16根據該負載控制訊號LD,既可以對應輸出極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓,亦可以在預輸出無極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓之前,將該複數資料線DM上之電壓均調整到該預定電壓。 In a modified embodiment, the timing control circuit 130 generates only one load control signal LD according to the driving mode of the liquid crystal display 100 and the period T of the pixel clock signal CLK. The waveform of the load control signal LD is specific. As shown in Figure 9. In fact, the load control signal LD is a signal synthesized by the first load control signal LD1 and the second load control signal LD2. Therefore, according to the load control signal LD, the data driving circuit 16 can correspond to the data voltage of the pixel 127 of the output polarity inversion column and the polarity inversion column, or the pixel of the pre-output polarity inversion column 127. Before the data voltage, the voltage on the complex data line D M is adjusted to the predetermined voltage.
與上述變更實施例相似,在另一種變更實施例中,對於同一幀頻率之圖像訊號,該時序控制電路230根據該液晶顯示器200亦僅產生一負載控制訊號LD',該負載控制訊號LD'之波形具體如圖10所示。以75HZ之幀頻率為例,該負載控制訊號LD'為圖7中所示第一負載控制訊號LD1'與第二負載控制訊號LD2'合成後之訊號。對於不同之幀頻率,該時序控制電路230產生不同之負載控制訊號LD',其中,隨著幀頻率之增加,該負載控制訊號LD'控制調整該複數資料線上之電壓到該預定電壓之高電平脈衝之寬度亦隨著增加,以使得對於同一灰階畫面,對應極性反轉列與無極性反轉列之畫素227所儲存之電荷量基本相同。 Similar to the above-described modified embodiment, in another modified embodiment, for the image signal of the same frame frequency, the timing control circuit 230 generates only a load control signal LD' according to the liquid crystal display 200, and the load control signal LD' The waveform is specifically shown in FIG. Taking the frame frequency of 75 Hz as an example, the load control signal LD' is a signal synthesized by the first load control signal LD1' and the second load control signal LD2' shown in FIG. For different frame frequencies, the timing control circuit 230 generates a different load control signal LD', wherein the load control signal LD' controls the adjustment of the complex data line as the frame frequency increases. The width of the high-level pulse to which the voltage is applied to the predetermined voltage also increases, so that for the same grayscale picture, the corresponding polarity inversion column and the polarity-inverted column of the pixel 227 store the amount of charge substantially the same.
請參閱圖11,其係該液晶顯示器200另一實施例之驅動時序圖。對於不同之幀頻率,該預定電壓還均可以為與該公共電壓相差較小之、且大小相等之正極性預定電壓與負極性預定電壓。當該資料驅動電路26預輸出正極性之資料電壓到該無極性反轉列之畫素227之前,其將與該預加載正極性之資料電壓之畫素227相連接之資料線上之電壓均調整到該正極性預定電壓;相反地,該資料驅動電路26將與預加載負極性之資料電壓之畫素227相連接之資料線上之電壓均調整到該負極性預定電壓。其中,該正極性預定電壓之取值範圍為:大於等於公共電壓且小於公共電壓與2伏之和;該負極性預定電壓之取值範圍為:大於等於公共電壓與2伏之差且小於公共電壓。 Please refer to FIG. 11 , which is a driving timing diagram of another embodiment of the liquid crystal display 200 . For different frame frequencies, the predetermined voltage may also be a positive polarity predetermined voltage and a negative polarity predetermined voltage which are different from the common voltage and are equal in magnitude. When the data driving circuit 26 pre-outputs the data voltage of the positive polarity to the pixel 227 of the polarity inversion column, it connects the data line connected to the pixel 227 of the pre-loaded positive data voltage. The upper voltage is adjusted to the positive polarity predetermined voltage; conversely, the data driving circuit 26 connects the data line connected to the pre-loaded negative polarity data voltage pixel 227 The upper voltage is adjusted to the negative polarity predetermined voltage. Wherein, the predetermined value of the positive polarity is in a range of: greater than or equal to a common voltage and less than a sum of a common voltage and 2 volts; the predetermined range of the negative polarity is greater than or equal to a difference between the common voltage and 2 volts and less than a common Voltage.
同樣,對於該液晶顯示器100,該預定電壓亦均可以為與該公共電壓相差較小之、且大小相等之正極性預定電壓與負極性預定電壓。 Similarly, for the liquid crystal display device 100, the predetermined voltage may also be a positive polarity predetermined voltage and a negative polarity predetermined voltage which are different in magnitude from the common voltage.
請參閱圖12,其是該液晶顯示器200又一實施例之驅動時序圖。對於不同之幀頻率,該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝之上升沿可以替代其下降沿作為第一觸發標示之第二輸出性觸發標示,用以觸發該資料驅動電路26輸出驅動相應之極性反轉列之畫素227之資料電壓。以60HZ之幀頻率為例,當該資料驅動電路26接收到之該第一負載控制訊號LD1'之高電平脈衝處於上升沿時,該資料驅動電路26則輸出資料電壓之相應之極性反轉列之畫素227。 Please refer to FIG. 12 , which is a driving timing diagram of still another embodiment of the liquid crystal display 200 . For a different frame frequency, the rising edge of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' can replace the falling edge thereof as the second output trigger flag of the first trigger flag to trigger the data driving circuit 26 to output the driving. The corresponding polarity reverses the data voltage of the pixel 227 listed. Taking the frame frequency of 60 Hz as an example, when the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1' received by the data driving circuit 26 is at a rising edge, the data driving circuit 26 outputs the corresponding polarity reversal of the data voltage. List of pixels 227.
同樣,對於該液晶顯示器100,該第一負載控制訊號LD1之高電平脈衝之上升沿亦可以替代其下降沿,用以觸發該資料驅動電路16輸出驅動相應之極性反轉列之畫素127之資料電壓。 Similarly, for the liquid crystal display device 100, the rising edge of the high-level pulse of the first load control signal LD1 may also be substituted for the falling edge thereof for triggering the data driving circuit 16 to output the pixel of the corresponding polarity inversion column. The data voltage.
該預定電壓亦可以優選為地電壓。 The predetermined voltage may also preferably be a ground voltage.
此外,除第一、第二負載控制訊號之高電平脈衝之上升沿或者下降沿之外,本案中所述之第一觸發標示與第二觸發標示亦可以為第一、第二負載控制訊號之其他位置上之點或者一段脈衝。 In addition, in addition to the rising edge or the falling edge of the high-level pulse of the first and second load control signals, the first trigger flag and the second trigger flag described in the present case may also be the first and second load control signals. A point or a pulse at another location.
