技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种液晶显示器和相关驱动方法,尤其涉及一种可改善画面闪烁的液晶显示器和相关驱动方法。The invention relates to a liquid crystal display and a related driving method, in particular to a liquid crystal display capable of improving screen flicker and a related driving method.
背景技术Background technique
液晶显示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)具有低辐射、体积小及低耗能等优点,已逐渐取代传统的阴极射线管显示器(cathode ray tube display,CRT),因而被广泛地应用在笔记本电脑、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、平面电视,或移动电话等信息产品上。传统液晶显示器的驱动方式是利用源极驱动电路(source driver)和栅极驱动电路(gate driver)来驱动面板上的像素以显示图像,由于源极驱动电路的成本较栅极驱动电路高,为了降低源极驱动电路的使用量,因而衍生出像素共用数据线结构的半源极驱动电路(half source driver,HSD)驱动方式。换而言之,针对相同数目的像素,将源极驱动电路的数据线减半,而将栅极驱动电路的栅极线加倍,如此可减少生产成本。Liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display, LCD) has the advantages of low radiation, small size and low energy consumption, and has gradually replaced the traditional cathode ray tube display (cathode ray tube display, CRT), so it is widely used in notebook computers, personal Information products such as digital assistants (personal digital assistant, PDA), flat-screen TVs, or mobile phones. The driving method of the traditional liquid crystal display is to use the source driver circuit (source driver) and the gate driver circuit (gate driver) to drive the pixels on the panel to display images. Since the cost of the source driver circuit is higher than that of the gate driver circuit, in order to To reduce the usage of the source driving circuit, a half source driving circuit (half source driver, HSD) driving method in which the pixels share the data line structure is derived. In other words, for the same number of pixels, the data lines of the source driving circuit are halved, and the gate lines of the gate driving circuit are doubled, so that the production cost can be reduced.
请参考图1,图1为现有技术中一采用HSD驱动结构的液晶显示装置100的示意图。液晶显示装置100包含一时序控制电路130、一源极驱动电路110、一栅极驱动电路120、多条数据线DL1~DLm、多条栅极线GL1~GLn,以及一像素矩阵。像素矩阵包含多个像素单元PXL和PXR,每一个像素单元包含一薄膜晶体管(thin film transistor,TFT)开关TFT、一液晶电容CLC和一存储电容CST,分别耦接于相对应的数据线、相对应的栅极线,以及一共同电压。时序控制电路130可产生源极驱动电路110和栅极驱动电路120运行所需的控制信号YOE、YV1C、输入时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB或输出使能信号OE等。源极驱动电路110可产生对应于显示图像的数据驱动信号SD1~SDm。若栅极驱动电路120为外部驱动电路,则会依据控制信号YOE和YV1C来产生开启晶体管开关所需的栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn;若栅极驱动电路120利用整合于液晶面板(gate on array,GOA)的技术来制作,则会依据输入时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB和输出使能信号OE来产生开启晶体管开关所需的栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a liquid
当薄膜晶体管TFT关闭时,像素电极并未连接至任何电压源,而是处在浮动(floating)状态,此时像素电极的周围若有任何电压变动,将会通过其寄生电容耦合至像素电极,并且改变其电压,如此会让施加在液晶电容CLC和存储电容CST上的电压偏离原先设定值。此种因寄生电容造成的电压变动量称为馈通电压(feed-through voltage),其值VFD可表示为:When the thin film transistor TFT is turned off, the pixel electrode is not connected to any voltage source, but is in a floating state. At this time, if there is any voltage change around the pixel electrode, it will be coupled to the pixel electrode through its parasitic capacitance. And change its voltage, so that the voltage applied to the liquid crystal capacitor C LC and the storage capacitor C ST will deviate from the original set value. This kind of voltage variation caused by parasitic capacitance is called feed-through voltage, and its value V FD can be expressed as:
VFD=[CGD/(CLC+CST+CGD)]*ΔVG V FD =[C GD /(C LC +C ST +C GD )]*ΔV G
=K*ΔVG =K*ΔV G
其中,CGD代表薄膜晶体管开关TFT的栅极与漏极之间的寄生电容,K代表CGD占所有电容总合的比例,而ΔVG则代表栅极驱动信号在关闭薄膜晶体管开关TFT时在其栅极所造成的压差。馈通电压VFD会造成画面闪烁(image flicker)的情形,由于薄膜晶体管开关TFT无法避免地存在着寄生电容,一般驱动方式会设法降低ΔVG的值,同时再通过调整共同端的共同电压Vcom来补偿,如此才能有效地减少画面闪烁。Among them, C GD represents the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain of the thin film transistor switch TFT, K represents the ratio of C GD to the total capacitance, and ΔV G represents the gate drive signal when the thin film transistor switch TFT is turned off. The voltage drop caused by its gate. The feed-through voltage V FD will cause image flicker. Since the thin film transistor switch TFT inevitably has parasitic capacitance, the general driving method will try to reduce the value of ΔV G , and at the same time adjust the common voltage Vcom of the common terminal. Compensation, so as to effectively reduce screen flicker.
请参考图2和图3,图2和图3为现有技术液晶显示装置100的驱动方法的示意图。图2显示了当栅极驱动电路120为外部驱动电路时,控制信号YOE和栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形;图3显示了当栅极驱动电路120以GOA技术来制作时,时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB、CK和CKB、输出使能信号OE,以及栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are schematic diagrams of a driving method of the liquid
在图2所示的驱动方法中,栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4内使能周期的长度由控制信号YOE的脉冲宽度来决定,而栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4在波形下降时的时间长度则由控制信号YOE和YV1C波形下降的起始时间点来决定。控制信号YOE在每一个周期内具有高电位的时间长度固定,且控制信号YV1C在每一个周期的波形下降起始时间点相同。因此,在关闭相对应薄膜晶体管开关TFT时,栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4在其栅极所造成的压差皆为ΔVG’。如前所述,馈通电压的值正比于栅极压差,由于进行电压削角后的ΔVG’小于未进行电压削角时的ΔVG,因此能降低馈通电压的效应。In the driving method shown in FIG. 2 , the length of the enable period in the gate driving signals SG 1 to SG 4 is determined by the pulse width of the control signal YOE, and the gate driving signals SG 1 to SG 4 when their waveforms fall The time length is determined by the start time point of the control signal YOE and YV1C waveform falling. The time length of the control signal YOE having a high potential in each cycle is fixed, and the start time point of the control signal YV1C waveform falling in each cycle is the same. Therefore, when the corresponding thin film transistor switch TFT is turned off, the voltage difference caused by the gate driving signals SG 1 -SG 4 at the gates thereof is ΔV G ′. As mentioned above, the value of the feedthrough voltage is proportional to the gate voltage difference. Since the ΔV G ′ after the voltage shaving is smaller than the ΔV G without the voltage shaving, the effect of the feedthrough voltage can be reduced.
在图3所示的驱动方法中,时钟脉冲信号CK和CKB具有相反相位,以一预定周期在高低电位之间切换,而此预定周期则决定栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4内使能周期的长度。当输出使能信号OE具有高电位时,栅极驱动电路120会输出时钟脉冲信号CK和CKB以提供相对应的时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB;当输出使能信号OE具有低电位时,栅极驱动电路120停止输出,此时时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB之间会进行电荷分享,进而在波形下降边缘达到削角的效果,接着再依据时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB来提供栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4。由于输出使能信号OE在每一个周期内具有低电位的时间长度皆为T,会对栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4造成相同的削角幅度。因此,在关闭相对应薄膜晶体管开关TFT时,栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4在其栅极所造成的压差皆为ΔVG’。如前所述,馈通电压的值正比于栅极压差,由于进行电压削角后的ΔVG’小于未进行电压削角时的ΔVG,因此能降低馈通电压的效应。In the driving method shown in FIG. 3 , the clock pulse signals CK and CKB have opposite phases and switch between high and low potentials with a predetermined cycle, and the predetermined cycle determines the enabling cycle of the gate drive signals SG 1 -SG 4 length. When the output enable signal OE has a high potential, the
在现有技术的液晶显示装置100中,每一条数据线的两侧皆设有像素,其中像素单元PXL设于数据线左侧且由奇数条栅极线传来的栅极驱动信号SG1、SG3、...、SGn-1来控制,而像素单元PXR设于数据线右侧且由偶数条栅极线传来的栅极驱动信号SG2、SG4、...、SGn来控制。两种类型的像素单元PXL和PXR通常具有不同设计,其CLC、CST、CGS或CGD的值也会有所差异,因此会产生不同大小的馈通电压VFD。即使两种类型的像素单元PXL和PXR具有相同设计,也容易因为工艺偏移造成不同表现(例如第一金属层Metal 1和第二金属层Metal 2的偏移会导致像素单元PXL和PXR有不同的CGD),仍会产生不同大小的馈通电压VFD。In the prior art liquid
在图2和图3所示的现有技术驱动方法以相同幅度降低栅极跨压,虽能减少馈通电压的效应,但每一个像素单元的馈通电压仍会有所差异,因此无法有效地通过调整共同电压Vcom来消除画面闪烁的情形。In the prior art driving method shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the gate cross-voltage is reduced by the same magnitude, although the effect of the feed-through voltage can be reduced, but the feed-through voltage of each pixel unit will still be different, so it cannot be effectively By adjusting the common voltage Vcom to eliminate the screen flickering situation.

请参考图4和图5,图4和图5分别为本发明中采用HSD驱动结构的液晶显示装置200和300的示意图。液晶显示装置200和300各包含一源极驱动电路210、一栅极驱动电路220、一时序控制电路230、一削角电路240、多条数据线DL1~DLm、多条栅极线GL1~GLn,以及一像素矩阵。液晶显示装置200的像素矩阵包含多个像素单元PXL和PXR,液晶显示装置300的像素矩阵包含多个像素单元PXLU、PXLB、PXRU和PXRB,而每一个像素单元包含一薄膜晶体管开关TFT、一液晶电容CLC和一存储电容CST,分别耦接于相对应的数据线、相对应的栅极线,以及一共同端。时序控制电路230可产生源极驱动电路210和栅极驱动电路220运行所需的控制信号YOE、YV1C、时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB或输出使能信号OE等。源极驱动电路210可产生对应于显示图像的数据驱动信号SD1~SDm。若栅极驱动电路220为外部驱动电路,削角电路240会依据控制信号YV1C和像素单元的寄生电容值来产生一削角信号VTRIM,栅极驱动电路220再依据控制信号YOE和削角信号VTRIM来产生开启晶体管开关所需的栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn;若栅极驱动电路220利用GOA的技术来制作,削角电路240会依据输出使能信号OE和像素单元的寄生电容值来产生一削角信号OETRIM,栅极驱动电路220再依据时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB和削角信号OETRIM来产生开启晶体管开关所需的栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn。Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 .

在本发明的液晶显示装置200中,每一条数据线的两侧分别设有不同类型的像素单元,其中第一类型的像素单元PXL设于数据线左侧且由奇数条栅极线传来的栅极驱动信号SG1、SG3、...、SGn-1来控制,而第二类型的像素单元PXR设于数据线右侧且由偶数条栅极线传来的栅极驱动信号SG2、SG4、...、SGn来控制(假设n为偶数)。这两种类型的像素单元PXL和PXR通常具有不同设计,CLC、CST、CGS或CGD的值也会有所差异,因此会产生不同大小的馈通电压VFD。即使两种类型的像素单元PXL和PXR具有相同设计,也容易因为工艺偏移而造成不同大小的馈通电压VFD。In the liquid
在本发明的液晶显示装置300中,每一条数据线的两侧分别设有不同类型的像素单元,其中第一类型的像素单元PXLU设于数据线左侧且由栅极线GL1、GL5、...、GLn-3传来的栅极驱动信号SG1、SG5、...、SGn-3来控制,第二类型的像素单元PXRB设于数据线右侧且由栅极线GL2、GL6、...、GLn-2传来的栅极驱动信号SG2、SG6、...、SGn-2来控制,第三类型的像素单元PXRU设于数据线右侧且由栅极线GL3、GL7、...、GLn-1传来的栅极驱动信号SG3、SG7、...、SGn-1来控制,而第四类型的像素单元PXLB设于数据线左侧且由栅极线GL4、GL8、...、GLn传来的栅极驱动信号SG4、SG8、...、SGn来控制(假设n为4的倍数)。这四种类型的像素单元PXLU、PXLB、PXRU和PXRB通常具有不同设计,CLC、CST、CGS或CGD的值也会有所差异,因此会产生不同大小的馈通电压VFD。即使四种类型的像素单元PXLU、PXLB、PXRU和PXRB具有相同设计,也容易因为工艺偏移造成不同大小的馈通电压VFD。In the liquid
本发明使用具有削角波形下降边缘的栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn来降低栅极压差,同时依据不同类型像素单元的寄生电容值来改变栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn在其波形下降边缘的削角幅度,如此在关闭相对应薄膜晶体管开关TFT时,栅极驱动信号SG1~SGn能在其栅极造成不同压差ΔVG1~ΔVGn。以液晶显示装置300为例,本发明使用在波形下降边缘削角幅度相异的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4来驱动四种类型的像素单元,因此在关闭相对应晶体管开关时能造成不同大小的栅极压差ΔVG1~ΔVG4,以补偿四种类型像素单元的不同电容比例值K1~K4对馈通电压所造成的影响,使得四种类型像素单元的馈通电压VFD1~VFD4约莫相同,如此可通过调整共同电压Vcom来有效地减少画面闪烁。The present invention uses the gate drive signals SG 1 -SG n with the falling edges of the chamfered waveforms to reduce the gate voltage difference, and at the same time changes the waveforms of the gate drive signals SG 1 -SG n according to the parasitic capacitance values of different types of pixel units. The cutting angle of the falling edge is such that when the corresponding thin film transistor switch TFT is turned off, the gate driving signals SG 1 -SG n can cause different voltage differences ΔV G1 -ΔV Gn at the gates.

请参考图6,图6为本发明第一实施例中一种液晶显示装置的驱动方法,可用来驱动源极驱动电路310为外部驱动电路时的液晶显示装置200或300。图4显示了控制信号YOE、YV1C、削角信号VTRIM以及栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形。在图6所示的驱动方法中,控制信号YOE在每一个周期内具有高电位的时间长度固定,其脉冲宽度决定栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4内使能周期的长度。控制信号YV1C在每一个周期内其波形下降的起始时间点则依据像素单元的寄生电容值而有所不同,而栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形下降总时间长度T1~T4则由控制信号YOE和YV1C在相对应周期内其波形下降的起始时间点来决定。削角电路340首先依据控制信号YV1C和电容比例值K1~K4来产生在相对应周期内波形下降时间点相异的削角信号VTRIM。栅极驱动电路320再依据控制信号YOE和削角信号VTRIM来产生具有不同削角幅度的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4,其分别在控制信号YOE由高电位切换至低电位时造成栅极压差ΔVG1~ΔVG4。假设寄生电容比例值的大小关系为K1<K2<K3<K4,则栅极驱动信号的波形下降总时间长度其大小关系为T1<T2<T3<T4,因此栅极压差的大小关系为ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4。如前所述,馈通电压的值正比于像素单元的电容比例值和栅极压差的乘积,在K1<K2<K3<K4的情况下,本发明第一实施例的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4提供具有ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4大小关系的压差,让每一种类型像素单元的馈通电压具有相同值,因此可有效地通过调整共同电压Vcom来消除画面闪烁的情形。Please refer to FIG. 6 .

请参考图7,图7的示意图说明了可实现本发明第一实施例的驱动方法的削角电路340。图7的削角电路340包含一变压器(inverter)70、一电位转换器(level shifter)72、一斜率调整电路74,以及晶体管开关QP和QN,可依据控制信号YV1C来产生削角信号VTRIM。当控制信号YV1C具有高电位时,晶体管开关QP呈导通而晶体管开关QN呈关闭,此时削角信号VTRIM具有高电位VGH;当控制信号YV1C具有低电位时,晶体管开关QP呈关闭而晶体管开关QN呈导通,此时削角信号VTRIM的电位会被斜率调整电路74中的电阻R1拉至低电位。因此,在图6和图7的实施例中,削角电路340接收具有相异波形下降起始时间点的控制信号YV1C,再通过斜率调整电路74提供波形下降边缘具有一斜率的削角信号VTRIM,其中斜率调整电路74可为阻抗元件,例如电阻或可变电阻。Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram illustrating a
请参考图8,图8为本发明第二实施例中一种液晶显示装置的驱动方法,可用来驱动源极驱动电路310为外部驱动电路时的液晶显示装置200或300。图6显示了控制信号YOE、YV1C、削角信号VTRIM和栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形。在图8所示的驱动方法中,控制信号YOE在每一个周期内具有高电位的时间长度固定,其脉冲宽度决定栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4内使能周期的长度。控制信号YV1C的波形下降起始时间点相同,因此栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形下降时间长度皆为T,而栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形下降斜率m1~m4则由削角电路340来控制。削角电路340首先依据控制信号YV1C和电容比例值K1~K4来产生波形下降斜率相异的削角信号VTRIM。栅极驱动电路320再依据控制信号YOE和削角信号VTRIM来产生具有不同削角幅度的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4,其分别在控制信号YOE由高电位切换至低电位时造成栅极压差ΔVG1~ΔVG4。假设寄生电容值的大小关系为K1<K2<K3<K4,则栅极驱动信号波形下降斜率的大小关系为m1<m2<m3<m4,因此栅极压差的大小关系为ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4。如前所述,馈通电压的值正比于像素单元的寄生电容和栅极压差的乘积,在K1<K2<K3<K4的情况下,本发明第二实施例的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4提供具有ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4大小关系的压差,让每一种类型像素单元的馈通电压具有相同值,因此能有效地通过调整共同电压Vcom来消除画面闪烁的情形。Please refer to FIG. 8 . FIG. 8 is a driving method of a liquid crystal display device in a second embodiment of the present invention, which can be used to drive the liquid
请参考图9,图9的示意图说明了可实现本发明第二实施例的驱动方法的削角电路340。图9的削角电路340包含变压器70、电位转换器72、一斜率调整电路94,以及晶体管开关QP和QN,可依据控制信号YV1C来产生削角信号VTRIM。当控制信号YV1C具有高电位时,晶体管开关QP呈导通而晶体管开关QN呈关闭,此时削角信号VTRIM具有高电位VGH;当控制信号YV1C具有低电位时,晶体管开关QP呈关闭而晶体管开关QN呈导通,此时削角信号VTRIM的电位会被斜率调整电路94拉至低电位。斜率调整电路94包含一电阻R1、一可变电阻R2,以及开关S1和S2,因此能依据寄生电容值K1~K4来提供不同等效电阻,使得斜率调整电路94能以合适的斜率拉低削角信号VTRIM的电位。因此,在图8和图9的实施例中,削角电路340接收具有相同波形下降起始时间点的控制信号YV1C,再通过斜率调整电路94提供波形下降边缘具有不同斜率的削角信号VTRIM。Please refer to FIG. 9 , a schematic diagram of FIG. 9 illustrates a
请参考图10,图10为本发明第三实施例中一种液晶显示装置的驱动方法,可用来驱动源极驱动电路310采用GOA技术来制作时的液晶显示装置200或300。图10显示了时钟脉冲信号CK、CKB、O_CK和O_CKB、输出使能信号OE,以及栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4的波形。在图8所示的驱动方法中,由时序控制电路230产生的时钟脉冲信号CK和CKB具有相反相位,并以一预定周期在高低电位之间切换,而此预定周期决定栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4内使能周期的长度。削角电路340首先依据输出使能信号OE和寄生电容值K1~K4来产生除能时间(具有低电位)长度T1~T4相异的削角信号OETRIM。当削角信号OETRIM具有高电位时,栅极驱动电路220会输出时钟脉冲信号CK和CKB以提供相对应的时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB;当削角信号OETRIM具有低电位时,栅极驱动电路220停止输出,此时时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB之间会进行电荷分享,进而在波形下降边缘达到削角的效果。栅极驱动电路320再依据时钟脉冲信号O_CK和O_CKB来产生具有不同削角幅度的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4,分别于相对应时钟脉冲信号CK和CKB在高低电位之间切换时造成栅极压差ΔVG1~ΔVG4。假设寄生电容CGD占总电容值比例的大小关系为K1<K2<K3<K4,则削角信号OETRIM除能时间长度的大小关系为T1<T2<T3<T4,因此栅极压差ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4。如前所述,馈通电压的值正比于像素单元的寄生电容和栅极压差的乘积,在K1<K2<K3<K4的情况下,本发明第三实施例的栅极驱动信号SG1~SG4提供具有ΔVG1>ΔVG2>ΔVG3>ΔVG4大小关系的压差,让每一种类型像素单元的馈通电压具有相同值,因此可有效地通过调整共同电压Vcom来消除画面闪烁的情形。Please refer to FIG. 10 . FIG. 10 is a driving method of a liquid crystal display device in a third embodiment of the present invention, which can be used to drive the liquid
依据像素单元的电容比例值K1~Kn,本发明可弹性调整栅极驱动信号G1~Gn在波形下降时的时间长度或波形下降斜率。通过不同压差ΔVG1~ΔVGn来补偿不同寄生电容值,使得每一种类型像素单元的馈通电压具有相同值,因此可有效地通过调整共同电压Vcom来消除画面闪烁的情形,改善显示品质。According to the capacitance ratio values K 1 -K n of the pixel units, the present invention can flexibly adjust the time length or the waveform falling slope of the gate driving signals G 1 -G n when the waveforms fall. Different parasitic capacitance values are compensated by different voltage differences ΔV G1 ~ ΔV Gn , so that the feed-through voltage of each type of pixel unit has the same value, so the flickering of the screen can be effectively eliminated by adjusting the common voltage Vcom, and the display quality can be improved. .
