The first shift register of the first stage inputs a first SCAN-on signal STV1, two adjacent rows of sub-pixels P are connected to the same first shift register, and a SCAN signal SCAN output by the first shift register includes: the first SCAN signal SCAN1 input for the previous row of sub-pixels P, and the second SCAN signal SCAN2 input for the next row of sub-pixels P. The second scanning circuit 22 includes a plurality of cascaded second shift registers, and the second shift registers correspond to the rows of the sub-pixels P in the corresponding sub-display area 100 one to one. The first shift register of the first stage inputs the second scan-on signal STV2, and the second shift register of the previous stage outputs the light-emitting signal EMIT as an input signal of the second shift register of the next stage.
In the manner shown in fig. 5, the description will be made by taking an example in which each row of sub-pixels P individually corresponds to one stage of the second shift register. In other embodiments, the second shift registers may be arranged in every two rows, and in this case, in the same sub-display area 100, the number of the sub-pixels P is twice as many as the number of the second shift registers in the corresponding sub-driving circuits.
In the display panel according to the embodiment of the present application, the sub-display area 100 that satisfies the compensation condition is set as a sub-display area to be compensated, and the sub-display area 100 that does not satisfy the compensation condition is set as a non-compensation sub-display area.
Taking the example that the display area 111 includes three sub-display areas 100 arranged in sequence, the three sub-display areas 100 are respectively set as an area a, an area B and an area C in sequence, the area a and the area C are set as sub-display areas to be compensated that satisfy compensation conditions, and the area B is a non-compensation sub-display area that does not satisfy compensation conditions. The compensation method will be described below with reference to a timing chart.
The first compensation mode is as follows: if the sub-display area to be compensated and the non-compensated sub-display area exist at the same time, the driving controller 12 is configured to control the scan driving circuit 13 to sequentially scan all the sub-display areas 100 through the first scan start signal STV1, the second scan start signal STV2, the first clock signal CK1 to the fourth clock signal XCK2, and control the data driving circuit 14 to input the data signal to the sub-pixel P in the sub-display area to be compensated only when the sub-display area to be compensated is scanned.
In the first compensation manner, if the sub-display area to be compensated and the non-compensated sub-display area exist at the same time, the driving controller 12 may control the sub-scanning circuit 131 to sequentially scan all the sub-display areas 100 according to a set scanning sequence. For the uncompensated sub-display region, the data driving circuit 14 does not output a data signal in the process that the uncompensated sub-display region is scanned, so that the data signal of the sub-pixel P in the uncompensated sub-display region is not updated, and the data of the current data frame is maintained based on the self node potential, and the gray scale data of the current data frame is maintained in the maintaining period of the current data frame and the next data frame. For the sub-display area to be compensated, the data driving circuit 14 outputs a data signal during the scanning process of the sub-display area to be compensated, and provides the data signal for the scanned sub-pixel P. In this process, a data signal is written into the sub-pixel P in the display area to be compensated in the holding period, so as to overcome the problem of image jitter caused by the fact that the sub-pixel P in the sub-display area to be compensated cannot maintain the node potential in the holding period, and a timing chart at this time may be as shown in fig. 8.
As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a timing diagram provided in the present embodiment, in which a scan start signal with a start pulse is sequentially input to the areas a to C, and a scan signal with a timing sequence is generated to sequentially perform timing scan on the areas a to C. When scanning each row of sub-pixels in the area A, before the falling edge of the scanning signal, the data clock signal CKH outputs a timing pulse signal, the data signal is written into the corresponding data line, and when the scanning signal is an effective level pulse, the data signal is written into each row of sub-pixels in the area A. When scanning each row of sub-pixels in the B region, the data clock signal CKH keeps high level, at this time, the data driving circuit 14 does not output data signals, and the sub-pixels in the B region keep gray scale data of the current frame. When scanning each row of sub-pixels in the C area, before the falling edge of the scanning signal, the data clock signal CKH outputs a timing pulse signal, the data signal is written into the corresponding data line, and when the scanning signal is an effective level pulse, the data signal is written into each row of sub-pixels in the C area. Therefore, data signals can be written into the sub-pixels in the area A and the area C which meet the compensation condition, and the problem of picture jitter caused by the fact that the sub-pixels in the area A and the area C cannot keep current frame gray scale data is avoided.
The second compensation mode is as follows: if the sub-display area to be compensated and the non-compensated sub-display area exist at the same time, the driving controller 12 is configured to control the scan driving circuit 13 to sequentially scan only the sub-display area to be compensated through the first scan start signal STV1, the second scan start signal STV2, the first clock signal CK1 to the fourth clock signal XCK2, and control the data driving circuit 14 to input a data signal to the sub-pixel P in the sub-display area to be compensated when the sub-display area to be compensated is scanned.
In the second compensation manner, if the sub-display region to be compensated and the non-compensation sub-display region exist at the same time, the driving controller 12 may control the sub-scanning circuit 131 to sequentially scan all the sub-display regions to be compensated according to a set scanning sequence, the scanning start signal corresponding to the non-compensation sub-display region is at a high level, the scanning signal and the light-emitting signal output a high level continuously, and the data driving circuit 14 is controlled to input the data signal to the sub-pixel P in the sub-display region to be compensated when the sub-display region to be compensated is scanned, where a timing chart at this time may be as shown in fig. 9.
As shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is another timing diagram provided in this embodiment, in this manner, a scan-on signal having a scan-on pulse is provided for the area a separately, a sub-scan driving circuit corresponding to the area a provides a time-sequential scan signal, and rows of sub-pixels in the area a are scanned line by line, before a falling edge of the scan signal, a data clock signal CKH outputs a time-sequential pulse signal, and writes a data signal into a corresponding data line, and when the scan signal is an active level pulse, writes a data signal into rows of sub-pixels in the area a. After the scanning of the area a is completed, the scanning start signal in the sub-scanning circuit corresponding to the area B is continuously set to the high level, the scanning signal and the light-emitting signal continuously output the high level, the data clock signal CKH is set to the high level, at this time, the data driving circuit 14 does not output the data signal, and the sub-pixels in the area B maintain the gray scale data of the current frame. And then, providing a scanning start signal with a start pulse for the area C, providing a time sequence scanning signal through a sub-scanning driving circuit corresponding to the area A, scanning each row of sub-pixels in the area C line by line, outputting a time sequence pulse signal by a data clock signal CKH before the falling edge of the scanning signal, writing the data signal into a corresponding data line, and writing the data signal into each row of sub-pixels in the area C when the scanning signal is an effective level pulse. Therefore, data signals can be written into the sub-pixels in the area A and the area C which meet the compensation condition, and the problem of picture jitter caused by the fact that the sub-pixels in the area A and the area C cannot keep current frame gray scale data is avoided. In this embodiment, the sub-scanning driving circuits corresponding to the sub-display regions A, B, C need to be provided with the independent first scanning start signals STV 1. Before the data driving circuit correspondingly outputs the data signal corresponding to the area A, an effective level pulse is output to a first scanning start signal STV1 corresponding to the area A, and the data signal is refreshed on the area A; when the data signal corresponding to the area A is output, outputting a direct current cut-off level to a first scanning start signal STV1 corresponding to the area B, so that a sub-scanning driving circuit corresponding to the area B outputs a direct current cut-off signal, and sub-pixels in the area B keep gray scale data of the current frame; before the data driving circuit correspondingly outputs the data signal corresponding to the C area, an effective level pulse is output to a first scanning start signal STV1 corresponding to the C area, and the data signal is refreshed on the C area;
if the areas A to C are all the uncompensated sub-display areas, the data signals are not refreshed in the keeping time period from the areas A to C. At this time, the timing in the holding period may be as shown in fig. 10.
As shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is still another timing diagram provided by the embodiment of the present application, in this manner, the scan start signal of each sub-scan driving circuit is continuously set to a high level, so that the output scan signal and the light-emitting signal are continuously set to a high level, in this process, the data clock signal CKH is continuously set to a high level, at this time, the data driving circuit does not output the data signal, and the sub-pixels in the regions a to C cannot refresh the data signal, so as to maintain the gray scale data of the current frame.
The first judgment mode is as follows: in the current data frame, if the average value of all the sub-pixel P gray scale data in the sub-display area 100 is smaller than a reference threshold, the compensation condition is satisfied, the sub-display area 100 is a sub-display area to be compensated, otherwise, the compensation condition is not satisfied, and the sub-display area 100 is a non-compensation sub-display area. The reference threshold is a positive integer less than 225.
In the first judgment mode, whether a large number of sub-pixels P with gray scale data smaller than the reference threshold exist can be determined by the average value of all the sub-pixels P in the sub-display area 100, if so, it indicates that the sub-display area 100 has a problem of causing picture shaking in the retention period, the sub-display area 100 is a sub-display area to be compensated, and the driving controller 12 can perform compensation display driving based on the compensation mode, so as to solve the picture shaking problem.
In the embodiment of the present application, the hold period may include at least one hold frame. If the refresh frequency is 30Hz, a hold frame may be provided between two adjacent data frames, i.e. the hold period comprises one hold frame. If the refresh frequency is 15Hz, three hold frames between two adjacent data frames may be provided, i.e. the hold period comprises three hold frames.
If the hold period has one hold frame, the timing control of the hold frame at this time can be as described in the above embodiment.
If the sustain frame has a plurality of sustain frames, if the sub-display area satisfies a compensation condition. And selecting one or more frames of the plurality of holding frames to refresh the data of the sub-display area to be compensated based on the gray scale average value of all the sub-pixels smaller than the preset gray scale value in the sub-display area to be compensated.
Taking the example that the display area 111 includes three sub-display areas 100 arranged in sequence, the three sub-display areas 100 are respectively set as an area a, an area B and an area C in sequence, the area a is set as a sub-display area to be compensated that satisfies compensation conditions, the area B and the area C are non-compensation sub-display areas that do not satisfy compensation conditions, and the set holding period includes three holding frames F1 to F3. At this time, the timing chart may be as shown in fig. 11 and 12.
As shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a timing diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the hold frame F1, data signals are written in the areas a and C, data is not written in the area B, and in the hold frame F2 and the hold frame F3, data line signals are not written in the areas a, B, and C. In the process, the B area is an uncompensated sub-display area, sub-pixels in the B area always maintain the gray scale data of the current data frame, the a area and the C area need to be written with compensation data once in the maintaining frame F1, and then the gray scale data of the current data frame can be maintained in the maintaining frame F2 and the maintaining frame F3.
If the gray-scale average value of all the sub-pixels smaller than the first gray-scale value in the sub-display area to be compensated is smaller than the second gray-scale value, the characterization compensation sub-display area can maintain the gray-scale data of the current data frame in the maintaining frame F2 and the maintaining frame F3 through one data writing in the maintaining frame F1.
As shown in fig. 12, fig. 12 is a timing diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the hold frame F1, the data signals are written in the areas a and C, and no data writing is performed in the area B. In the hold frame F2 and the hold frame F3, no data line signal is written to the areas a, B, and C. In the hold frame F2, data is not written in the areas a, B, and C. In the hold frame F3, the data signals are written in the areas a and C, and no data writing is performed in the area B. In this process, the B region is an uncompensated sub-display region, the sub-pixels in the B region always hold the gray scale data of the current data frame, and the a region and the C region perform one-time data writing in the hold frame and cannot continuously hold the gray scale data of the current data frame in the hold frame F2 and the hold frame F3, so that data needs to be written again in the hold frame F3.
If the gray-scale average value of all the sub-pixels smaller than the first gray-scale value in the sub-display area to be compensated is smaller than the second gray-scale value, the characterization compensation sub-display area is subjected to data writing once in the retention frame F1, cannot continuously retain the gray-scale data of the current data frame in the retention frame F2 and the retention frame F3, and needs to write data again in the retention frame F3.
The second gray scale value is smaller than the first gray scale value, and the first gray scale value and the second gray scale value can be obtained through an actual display test of the display screen.
The second judgment method is as follows: in the current data frame, if the number of sub-pixels in the sub-display area 100 whose gray scale data is smaller than the first threshold is greater than a second threshold, and the average value of the gray scale data of all the sub-pixels in the sub-display area is smaller than a reference threshold, the compensation condition is satisfied, otherwise, the compensation condition is not satisfied. The first threshold is a positive integer less than 225. The second threshold is a set constant smaller than the total number of sub-pixels P in the sub-display area 100.
In the second determination manner, it is avoided that the average value of the gray scale data is increased due to the existence of a large number of sub-pixels P with higher gray scale data in the sub-display area 100, and the sub-display area to be compensated can be accurately determined.
If the first threshold is set to 180, the second threshold is set to 50%, the reference threshold is 150, and if a sub-display area meets the compensation condition, it indicates that the number of sub-pixels with a gray scale value smaller than 180 in the sub-display area accounts for more than 50% of the number of all sub-pixels in the sub-display area, and the gray scale average value of all sub-pixels is smaller than 150, and it can represent that there are more sub-pixels with low gray scale data in the sub-display area, so that the sub-display area can be accurately compensated and driven to display.
The third judgment mode is as follows: in the current data frame, if the mean value of the gray scale data of all the first sub-pixels in the sub-display area is not larger than a third threshold value, the compensation condition is met, otherwise, the compensation condition is not met; the first sub-pixel is a sub-pixel with gray scale data smaller than a fourth threshold value, and the fourth threshold value is larger than the third threshold value; in the sub-display area, the number of the first sub-pixels is not less than a fifth threshold. The third threshold and the fourth threshold are both positive integers less than 225.
In the third determination method, it can be avoided that the average value of the gray scale data is increased due to the existence of a large number of sub-pixels P with higher gray scale data in the sub-display area 100, and the sub-display area to be compensated can be accurately determined.
The fourth judgment method: a sub-display area 100 is defined to have M rows of sub-pixels P, where M is a positive integer greater than 1. The M rows of sub-pixels P are sequentially the 1 st row sub-pixels to the M rows of sub-pixels, and the following settings are set:
Ki=Xi+1-Xi
wherein, XiIs the average value of the gray scale data of all the sub-pixels P in the ith row, i is a positive integer, and i +1 is not more than M.
K1To KM-1The absolute value of either is larger than a set constant K0If so, the sub-display area 100 satisfies the compensation condition, otherwise, the compensation condition is not satisfied. K0At a constant greater than 0.
In the fourth determination method, the brightness difference between rows of the sub-pixels P can visually cause the visual effect of display jitter. KiThe luminance fluctuation difference between the rows of sub-pixels P in the sub-display area 100 can be represented as a determination method for whether compensation is required.
The fifth judgment mode is as follows: setting a sub-display area 100 having M rows of sub-pixels, where M is a positive integer greater than 1; in the current data frame, for m rows of continuous sub-pixels in the sub-display area 100, if the number proportion of the sub-pixels with gray scale data smaller than a sixth threshold in the sub-display area is greater than s%, the sub-display area meets the compensation condition, otherwise, the compensation adjustment is not met; wherein M is a set constant greater than 1 and less than M. The sixth threshold is a positive integer less than 225.
In the fifth judgment manner, it can be avoided that the average value of the gray scale data is increased due to the existence of a large number of sub-pixels P with higher gray scale data in the sub-display area 100, and the sub-display area to be compensated can be accurately determined.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, each threshold may be set based on the compensation accuracy, and this is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The number of rows of sub-pixels P in different sub-display areas 100 may be the same or different.
