技术领域 technical field
本发明是有关于一种液晶显示器及其显示面板,且特别是有关于一种利用像素列单元选择性接收共同电压的液晶显示器及其显示面板。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display and its display panel, and in particular to a liquid crystal display and its display panel which utilize pixel row units to selectively receive a common voltage.
背景技术 Background technique
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)近来已被广泛地使用,并取代阴极射线管显示器(Cathode Ray Tube,CRT)成为下一代显示器的主流之一。随着半导体技术的改良,大尺寸的液晶显示器陆续诞生,但却也衍生出另一技术上的瓶颈,那就是随着显示面板的尺寸愈大,则画面闪烁的问题也愈趋严重。Liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD) has been widely used recently, and replaces cathode ray tube display (Cathode Ray Tube, CRT) as one of the mainstreams of next-generation displays. With the improvement of semiconductor technology, large-size liquid crystal displays are born one after another, but another technical bottleneck arises, that is, as the size of the display panel increases, the problem of screen flickering becomes more and more serious.
传统显示面板中像素单元的结构区分为两种,其一为图1所绘示的像素单元100的结构示意图,其二则为图2所绘示的像素单元200的结构示意图。合并参照图1及图2,像素单元100与200都各自包括薄膜晶体管101、液晶电容CLC、存储电容CS、以及寄生电容Cgd。而最大不同处在于,像素单元100为存储电容CS在共用电压(common voltage,Vcom)上的设计(CS on common),而像素单元200则为存储电容CS在扫描线Gm-1上的设计(Cs on gate)。The structure of the pixel unit in the traditional display panel is divided into two types, one is the structural schematic diagram of the pixel unit 100 shown in FIG. 1 , and the other is the structural schematic diagram of the
无论采用上述哪一种像素单元,当栅极驱动器(gate driver,未绘示)所输出的栅极信号SG由高电平VH迅速地降至低电平VL,而致使薄膜晶体管101关闭时,因寄生电容Cgd所造成的耦合效应(coupling effect),将导致薄膜晶体管101的漏极端电压VD下降一电压差ΔVFT,如公式(1)所示:Regardless of which of the above pixel units is used, when the gate signal SG output by the gate driver (gate driver, not shown) drops from the high level V H to the low level V L rapidly, the
其中ΔVGP=VH-VL,且此变动的电压差ΔVFT称之为馈通电压(feed-through voltage)。由公式(1)可得知,由于传统显示面板内像素单元的馈通电压ΔVFT值不尽相同,因此将造成显示面板的闪烁杂讯(flicker noise),进而加重液晶显示器所呈现的画面闪烁。Where ΔV GP =V H -V L , and the varying voltage difference ΔV FT is called feed-through voltage. It can be known from the formula (1) that because the feed-through voltage ΔV FT of the pixel units in the traditional display panel is not the same, it will cause flicker noise of the display panel, which will aggravate the flickering of the picture presented by the liquid crystal display .
为了要减轻上述馈通效应所衍生出的画面闪烁,现有亦对应的发展出解决的相关技术,其包括:In order to alleviate the screen flickering derived from the above-mentioned feedthrough effect, related technologies have been correspondingly developed, including:
1.根据馈通电压ΔVFT值,来调整提供至显示面板的共用电压。1. Adjust the common voltage provided to the display panel according to the value of the feed-through voltage ΔV FT .
2.运用3阶或4阶的栅极信号的驱动技术。2. Use the driving technology of 3-level or 4-level gate signal.
图3绘示为上述的相关技术1的模拟波形图。其适用于上述所揭示的像素单元100,请合并参照图1与图3。当栅极信号SG为高电平VH时,薄膜晶体管101导通。此时,通过数据线SL所传递的源极电压VS将存储在液晶电容CLC上,致使漏极端电压VD的电平改变至源极电压VS的电平。然而,当栅极信号SG由高电平VH迅速地降至低电平VL时,漏极端电压VD的电平将下降一馈通电压ΔVFT值。为了消除馈通电压ΔVFT所造成的画面闪烁,相关技术1将显示面板的共同电压Vcom调整至最佳共同电压V’com。FIG. 3 is a simulated waveform diagram of the
然而,相关技术1在调整共同电压Vcom时,必须先进行繁复的手动测量,以找到提供至显示面板的最佳共用电压V’com。此外,每一片显示面板的特性不尽相同,故上述所决定的最佳共用电压V’com,并不一定完全符合每一片显示面板。However, in
图4绘示为上述相关技术2的模拟波形图。其适用于上述所揭示的像素单元200,请合并参照图2与图4。当漏极端电压VD的电平下降一馈通电压ΔVFT值时,相关技术2通过栅极信号SGm-1与SGm于低电平期间所提供的补偿电压VP,致使漏极端电压VD的电平分段充电至源极电压VS的电平。FIG. 4 is a simulation waveform diagram of the related art 2 above. It is applicable to the
然而,相关技术2所提供的补偿电压VP,虽然可依据理论公式来计算产生。但在实际应用面上,栅极信号SG是由液晶显示器内的栅极驱动器(gate driver)来产生的。因此,在提高补偿电压VP的准确度的同时,必须通过提高栅极驱动器的设计复杂度来换取。如此一来,相关技术2在消除液晶显示器所呈现的画面闪烁时,却也增加了栅极驱动器的设计复杂度,进而导致液晶显示器花费更多的布局面积与功率消耗。However, the compensation voltage V P provided by the related art 2 can be calculated according to a theoretical formula. But in practical applications, the gate signal SG is generated by a gate driver in the liquid crystal display. Therefore, while improving the accuracy of the compensation voltage VP , it must be exchanged by increasing the design complexity of the gate driver. In this way, when the related art 2 eliminates the screen flickering displayed by the liquid crystal display, it also increases the design complexity of the gate driver, which leads to more layout area and power consumption of the liquid crystal display.

The display panel and liquid crystal display of the present invention will be illustrated below, but they are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can slightly modify the following embodiments according to the spirit of the present invention, but they still belong to the scope of the present invention.
图5绘示为依据本发明一实施例的显示面板的结构示意图。为了说明方便起见,图5更绘示出源极驱动器502与栅极驱动器503。参照图5,显示面板501包括多个像素列单元与多个切换单元。为了清楚表示每一构件,图5在此只绘示出像素列单元510与520、以及切换单元530与540。其中像素列单元510串接在扫描线GL1与电平切换线CL1之间。像素列单元520串接在扫描线GL2与电平切换线CL2之间。切换单元530的第一端用以接收显示面板501的共同电压Vcom,切换单元530的第二端则电性连接至电平切换线CL1。此外,切换单元540的第一端用以接收显示面板501的共同电压Vcom,切换单元540的第二端则电性连接至电平切换线CL2。FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the convenience of illustration, FIG. 5 further shows the
更进一步说明,上述像素列单元510包括N个像素单元PI1~PIN。其中N个像素单元PI1~PIN与N条数据线SL1~SLN一对一对应,N为大于0的整数。此外,每一该些像素单元PI1~PIN包括一开关、一存储电路、以及一寄生电容。值得注意的是,每一该些像素单元PI1~PIN的开关包括一薄膜晶体管,且上述的存储电路至少包括一液晶电容。To further illustrate, the
举例来说,像素单元PI1包括开关SW51、存储电路(液晶电容C51)、以及寄生电容Cgd1。其中开关SW51的第一端电性连接于所对应的数据线SL1,开关SW51的控制端电性连接于扫描线GL1。存储电路(液晶电容C51)串接在开关SW51的第二端与电平切换线CL1之间。寄生电容Cgd1电性连接至扫描线GL1与开关SW51的第二端。For example, the pixel unit PI 1 includes a switch SW 51 , a storage circuit (liquid crystal capacitor C 51 ), and a parasitic capacitor C gd1 .

The first end of the switch SW 52 is electrically connected to the corresponding data line SL 2 , and the control end of the switch SW 52 is electrically connected to the scan line GL 1 . The storage circuit (liquid crystal capacitor C 52 ) is connected in series between the second end of the switch SW 52 and the level switching line CL 1 . The parasitic capacitor C gd2 is electrically connected to the scan line GL1 and the second terminal of the switch SW52 . The detailed structures of the pixel units PI 3 ˜P N are deduced by analogy, which will not be repeated here.
另一方面,上述的像素列单元520的详细架构与像素列单元510相似。像素列单元520包括N个像素单元PII1~PIIN。其中N个像素单元PII1~PIIN也与N条数据线SL1~SLN一对一对应。此外,每一该些像素单元PII1~PIIN包括一开关、一存储电路、以及一寄生电容。类似地,每一该些像素单元PII1~PIIN的开关包括一薄膜晶体管,且上述存储电路至少包括一液晶电容。On the other hand, the detailed structure of the above-mentioned
举例来说,像素单元PII1包括开关SW53、存储电路(液晶电容C53)、以及寄生电容Cgd3。其中开关SW53的第一端电性连接于所对应的数据线SL1,开关SW53的控制端电性连接于扫描线GL2。存储电路(液晶电容C53)串接在开关SW53的第二端与电平切换线CL2之间。寄生电容Cgd3电性连接至扫描线GL2与开关SW53的第二端。For example, the pixel unit PII 1 includes a switch SW 53 , a storage circuit (liquid crystal capacitor C 53 ), and a parasitic capacitor C gd3 . The first end of the switch SW 53 is electrically connected to the corresponding data line SL 1 , and the control end of the switch SW 53 is electrically connected to the scan line GL 2 .

The parasitic capacitor C gd4 is electrically connected to the scan line GL 2 and the second terminal of the switch SW 54 . The detailed structure of the pixel units PII 3 ˜PII N can be deduced by analogy, which will not be repeated here.
再进入像素列单元510~520与切换单元530~540的相互操作机制之前,必需先明了显示面板501适用于一液晶显示器(在此未绘示出),而源极驱动器502与栅极驱动器503就是液晶显示器所涵盖的构件。其中源极驱动器502电性连接至数据线SL1~SLN、栅极驱动器503电性连接至扫描线GL1与GL2。在此,源极驱动器502用以产生驱动像素列单元510与520所需的源极电压VS1~VSN。栅极驱动器503则用以产生开关像素列单元510与520所需的栅极信号SG1与SGN。Before entering the interoperability mechanism between the pixel column units 510-520 and the switching units 530-540, it must be understood that the
图6绘示为用以说明图5实施例的模拟波形图。为了说明方便,以像素列单元510与切换单元530为例来看,并绘示成如图7A所示,且图7A更标示出节点电压VD1与VC1。请参照图6与图7A,像素单元PI1通过扫描线GL1接收栅极信号SG1,并通过数据线SL1接收源极电压VS1。切换单元530则是依据一电平切换信号SC1而决定其第一端与第二端的导通状态,且电平切换信号SC1可由栅极驱动器503提供,或是依设计所需而由其他构件提供。值得注意的是,切换单元530至少包括一开关SW55。FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a simulated waveform of the embodiment in FIG. 5 . For the convenience of illustration, the
在栅极信号SG1由低电平VL切换至高电平VH之前,也就是在栅极信号SG1高转态之前,切换单元530会依据电平切换信号SC1(比如逻辑1)而导通其第一端与第二端。因此,当栅极信号SG1为高电平VH时,存储电路(液晶电容C51)的第二端电性连接至共同电压Vcom,而节点电压VC1的电平也随之改变至共同电压Vcom的电平。在此同时,由于开关SW51的导通,因此源极电压VS1对存储电路(液晶电容C51)充电,致使节点电压VD1的电平改变至源极电压VS1的电平。Before the gate signal SG 1 is switched from the low level V L to the high level V H , that is, before the gate signal SG 1 turns high, the
在栅极信号SG1由高电平VH切换至低电平VL之前,也就是在栅极信号SG1低转态之前,切换单元530会依据电平切换信号SC1(比如逻辑0)而断开其第一端与第二端。此时,参照图7B所绘示的像素单元PI1的工作原理图,假若存储电路(液晶电容C51)的第二端永远电性连接至共同电压Vcom(VC1=Vcom),则当栅极信号SG1由高电平VH切换至低电平VL时,栅极信号SG1所形成的压差ΔVGP将依分压定理,分别存储在液晶电容C51与寄生电容Cgd1中。换而言之,此时节点电压VD1的电平会变动,相对地,存储在存储电路(液晶电容C51)中的电荷量也将随之改变,其中节点电压VD1的变动量为ΔVD1=ΔVGP*Cgd1/(Cgd1+C51)。Before the gate signal SG1 is switched from a high level VH to a low level VL , that is, before the gate signal SG1 turns low, the
反观本实施例的实施方式,当栅极信号SG1由高电平VH切换至低电平VL时,由于存储电路(液晶电容C51)的第二端在浮接(floating)的状态下,因此基于电荷守恒原理,此时的节点电压VD1与VC1的电平均会下降一压差ΔVGP(如图6所示)。如此一来,在栅极信号SG1低转态的前后,存储在存储电路(液晶电容C51)中的电荷量并无改变。换而言之,像素单元510将不会随着馈通效应的产生,而改变显示面板501的显示灰阶。In contrast to the implementation of this embodiment, when the gate signal SG1 is switched from the high level V H to the low level V L , since the second terminal of the storage circuit (liquid crystal capacitor C 51 ) is in a floating state Therefore, based on the principle of charge conservation, the levels of the node voltages VD 1 and VC 1 at this time will drop by a voltage difference ΔV GP (as shown in FIG. 6 ). In this way, the amount of charge stored in the storage circuit (the liquid crystal capacitor C 51 ) does not change before and after the low transition of the gate signal SG 1 . In other words, the
像素列单元510中其他的像素单元PI2~PIN,也是配合切换单元530的控制,在栅极信号SG1高转态之前接收共同电压Vcom,并在栅极信号SG1低转态之前切换至浮接的状态。藉此,达到如同像素单元PI1的操作机制,进而消除显示面板501的闪烁杂讯。The other pixel units PI 2 ˜P N in the
继续参照图5,像素列单元520与切换单元540的相互操作机制,如同上述像素列单元510与切换单元530的相互操作机制。在此,切换单元540也是依据一电平切换信号SC2而决定其第一端与第二端的导通状态,且电平切换信号SC2可由栅极驱动器503提供,或是依设计所需而由其他构件所提供。值得注意的是,切换单元540至少包括一开关SW56。Continuing to refer to FIG. 5 , the mutual operation mechanism of the
切换单元540在电平切换信号SC2的控制下,致使像素单元PII2~PIIN在栅极信号SG2高转态之前接收共同电压Vcom,并在栅极信号SG2低转态之前切换至浮接的状态。如此一来,在栅极信号SG2低转态之前后,由寄生电容(比如Cgd3、Cgd4)所引发的馈通效应,并不会改变存储在存储电路(比如液晶电容C53、C54)中的电荷量。以此类推,可以推知显示面板501中的任一像素列单元,在所对应的切换单元的控制下,将可消除馈通效应所引发的闪烁杂讯。Under the control of the level switching signal SC 2 , the
图8绘示为依据本发明一实施例的液晶显示器的结构示意图。参照图8,液晶显示器800包括显示面板801、驱动单元802、以及多个切换单元。其中显示面板801包括多个像素列单元。为了清楚表示每一构件,在此只绘示出切换单元803与804、以及像素列单元810与820。由于图8实施例是图5实施例的延伸,因此显示面板801中的每一像素列单元,在结构上都与图5实施例中的像素列单元相同,在此就不多加赘述。FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal display according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, a liquid crystal display 800 includes a display panel 801, a driving unit 802, and a plurality of switching units. The display panel 801 includes a plurality of pixel column units. In order to clearly represent each component, only the switching units 803 and 804 and the pixel column units 810 and 820 are shown here. Since the embodiment in FIG. 8 is an extension of the embodiment in FIG. 5 , each pixel row unit in the display panel 801 is structurally the same as the pixel row unit in the embodiment in FIG. 5 , and details are not repeated here.
然而,显示面板801与显示面板501的最大不同之处在于,显示面板801内并未配置切换单元。但为了达到显示面板501的功效,图8实施例利用配置在显示面板801外的多个切换单元(比如切换单元803与804),来执行显示面板501内多个切换单元(比如切换单元530与540)所具备的功能。However, the biggest difference between the display panel 801 and the
因此,图8实施例的整体架构与图5实施例相似。像素列单元810串接在扫描线GL1与电平切换线CL1之间。像素列单元820串接在扫描线GL2与电平切换线CL2之间。切换单元803的第一端用以接收共同电压Vcom,切换单元803的第二端则电性连接于电平切换线CL1。而切换单元804的第一端用以接收共同电压Vcom,切换单元804的第二端则电性连接至电平切换线CL2。此外,驱动单元802电性连接至显示面板801。Therefore, the overall architecture of the embodiment in FIG. 8 is similar to that in the embodiment in FIG. 5 . The pixel column unit 810 is connected in series between the scanning line GL1 and the level switching line CL1 . The pixel column unit 820 is connected in series between the scanning line GL 2 and the level switching line CL 2 . The first end of the switching unit 803 is used to receive the common voltage Vcom, and the second end of the switching unit 803 is electrically connected to the level switching line CL 1 . The first end of the switching unit 804 is used to receive the common voltage Vcom, and the second end of the switching unit 804 is electrically connected to the level switching line CL 2 . In addition, the driving unit 802 is electrically connected to the display panel 801 .
更进一步说明,上述驱动单元802包括源极驱动器830与栅极驱动器840。源极驱动器830电性连接至数据线SL1~SLN,而栅极驱动器840则电性连接至扫描线GL1与GL2。值得注意的是,液晶显示器800中的每一切换单元都至少包括一开关。比如切换单元803包括开关SW81,切换单元804包括开关SW82。To further illustrate, the driving unit 802 includes a source driver 830 and a gate driver 840 . The source driver 830 is electrically connected to the data lines SL 1 ˜SL N , and the gate driver 840 is electrically connected to the scan lines GL 1 and GL 2 . It should be noted that each switching unit in the liquid crystal display 800 includes at least one switch. For example, the switching unit 803 includes a switch SW 81 , and the switching unit 804 includes a switch SW 82 .
继续参照图8,源极驱动器830用以产生驱动像素列单元810与820所需的源极电压VS1~VSN。栅极驱动器840则用以产生开关像素列单元810与820所需的栅极信号SG1与SG2。此外,切换单元803与804分别依据电平切换信号SC1与SC2,而决定其第一端与第二端的导通状态。其中电平切换信号SC1与SC2可由栅极驱动器840提供,或是依设计所需而由其他构件提供。Continuing to refer to FIG. 8 , the source driver 830 is used to generate source voltages VS 1 ˜V N required to drive the pixel column units 810 and 820 . The gate driver 840 is used for generating the gate signals SG 1 and SG 2 required for switching the pixel column units 810 and 820 . In addition, the switching units 803 and 804 determine the conduction states of the first end and the second end of the switching units 803 and 804 respectively according to the level switching signals SC 1 and SC 2 . The level switching signals SC 1 and SC 2 can be provided by the gate driver 840 , or provided by other components according to design requirements.
当栅极信号SG1由低电平切换至高电平之前,也就是在栅极信号SG1高转态之前,切换单元803会依据电平切换信号SC1而导通其第一端与第二端。于此,像素列单元810以共同电压Vcom为基准点,接收来自源极驱动器830的源极电压VS1~VSN。Before the gate signal SG1 is switched from low level to high level, that is, before the gate signal SG1 is in a high state, the switching unit 803 will conduct the first end and the second end of the switching unit 803 according to the level switching signal SC1 . end. Here, the pixel column unit 810 receives the source voltages VS 1 -V N from the source driver 830 with the common voltage Vcom as a reference point.
然而,当栅极信号SG1由高电平切换至低电平之前,也就是在栅极信号SG1低转态之前,切换单元803会依据电平切换信号SC1而断开其第一端与第二端。于此,由于像素列单元810切换至浮接的状态,因此馈通效应所引发的闪烁杂讯将被抑制住。以此类推,像素列单元820与切换单元804的相互操作机制。至于本实施例的其他细节,已涵盖在之前所述的实施例,在此不多加叙述。However, before the gate signal SG1 switches from high level to low level, that is, before the gate signal SG1 turns low, the switching unit 803 will disconnect its first terminal according to the level switching signal SC1 with the second end. Here, since the pixel row unit 810 is switched to a floating state, the flicker noise caused by the feedthrough effect will be suppressed. By analogy, the mutual operation mechanism of the pixel column unit 820 and the switching unit 804 is described. As for other details of this embodiment, the above-mentioned embodiments have been covered, and no further description is given here.
综上所述,本发明利用切换单元来控制像素列单元接收共同电压的时间点。如此一来,在栅极信号低转态之前后,显示面板的显示灰阶将不受馈通效应的影响。换而言之,本发明不仅可降低显示面板的闪烁杂讯,还可提升液晶显示器所呈现的画面品质。To sum up, the present invention utilizes the switching unit to control the time point when the pixel row unit receives the common voltage. In this way, before and after the low transition of the gate signal, the display gray scale of the display panel will not be affected by the feedthrough effect. In other words, the present invention can not only reduce the flickering noise of the display panel, but also improve the picture quality presented by the liquid crystal display.
虽然本发明已以较佳实施例揭示如上,然其并非用以限定本发明,任何所属技术领域中具有通常知识者,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可作些许更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围当以权利要求所界定的为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
