Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 and 2 respectively show a functional block diagram of a first embodiment of the driving circuit of the present invention and a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a display device of the present invention. The display device 1 includes a driving circuit 10, a display panel 20, a scan driving circuit 300, and a data line driving circuit (not shown). The driving circuit 10 is connected to the scan driving circuit 300. The scan driving circuit 300 and the data line driving circuit are connected to the display panel 20, respectively. The driving circuit 10 is used for driving the display panel 20 to display images. The display panel 20 includes a plurality of display units 201 and a plurality of scan lines G1、G2……GNEach scanning line G1、G2……GNConnecting a plurality of display units 201, the plurality of scanning lines G1、G2……GNFor transmitting the scan signal provided by the scan driving circuit 300 to the plurality of display units 201 to activate and scan the line G1、G2……GNThe connected display unit 201 performs image display.
Specifically, the display panel 20 may be a liquid crystal display panel or other suitable type of panel. The display unit 201 includes a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) (not shown) and a pixel electrode (not shown) connected to the TFT. The plurality of scanning lines G1、G2……GNConnected to the gate electrode (not labeled) of the thin film transistor, the scan driving circuit 300 provides a scan signal for time-sharing turning on and scanning the line G1、G2……GNTo activate and scan the line G1、G2……GNThe connected display unit 201 supplies a data signal to the turned-on thin film transistor through a data line driving circuit to realize image display.
The driving circuit 10 of the present embodiment includes a clock signal generating unit 200 and a control unit 100 connected to the clock signal generating unit 200.
The clock signal generating unit 200 is configured to generate clock signals, each of the clock signals is a signal in which a first level and a second level appear alternately, potentials of the first level and the second level are different, and a change from the first level to the second level in the clock signals is used to trigger the scan driving circuit 300 to generate a scan signal correspondingly transmitted by each scan line, so that the display unit 201 correspondingly connected to each scan line is activated by the scan signal, and image display is further achieved.
And defining the change from the first level to the second level as an effective signal edge of the clock signal, wherein the time between adjacent effective signal edges is clock time. For example, if the first level is a low level and the second level is a high level, the active signal edge is a rising edge; or, the first level is a high level, the second level is a low level, and the effective signal edge is a falling edge.
The control unit 100 is configured to control the clock times of the clock signals to be different, where the clock times include a first clock time and a second clock time, and the second clock time is greater than the first clock time, and the control unit is further configured to control the clock times to reach the second clock time at least once during a process in which the display panel 20 displays one frame of image.
Alternatively, the duration of the second level in the clock signal generated by the clock signal generation unit 200 is the same as the duration of the scan signal generated by the scan driving circuit 300, and the control unit 100 may control the clock time of the clock signal by controlling the duration of the first level.
Specifically, the respective durations of the first level of the clock signal, which are used by the control unit 100 to control the first level of the clock signal to occur, are not all the same, and each of the respective durations includes a first duration and a second duration, and the second duration is longer than the first duration, and the control unit 100 is further used to control the duration of the first level of the clock signal to be the second duration at least once during the display of one frame of image by the display panel 20. The sum of the first duration of the first level and the duration of the second level is the first clock time, and the sum of the second duration of the first level and the duration of the second level is the second clock time. In this embodiment, the second duration preferably ranges from [9,400] microseconds (us), and the specific value is preferably 200 microseconds.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of an output signal of the clock signal generating unit 200 in fig. 1. The clock signal generating unit 200 is used for generating two clock signals CK1 and CK2, the two clock signals CK1 and CK2 are clock signals alternately output at a low level and a high level, and the clock signals CK1 and CK2 trigger the scan driving circuit 300 to generate the scan signal at the time of a rising edge (at the time of a low-level to high-level change). The rising edges are valid signal edges and the time between adjacent rising edges is the clock time.
In this embodiment, the first level of the two clock signals CK1 and CK2 is low level for controlling the scan driving circuit not to generate the scan signal, and the second level is high level for driving the scan driving circuit to generate the scan signal. In this embodiment, the low level is in the range of-15V to-7.5V, for example: the low level is-12V. The high level is in the range of 10V to 15V, for example: the high level is 15V.
In this embodiment, the first duration T1 of the low level of the clock signal CK1(CK2) is the same as the duration of the high level of the clock signal CK2(CK1), that is, the first duration T1 of the low level of the clock signal CK1(CK2) is the time when the clock signal CK2(CK1) drives the scan driving circuit 300 to generate the scan signal, so that the scan driving circuit 300 can scan the scan lines connected to the scan driving circuit 300 line by line.
The control unit 100 controls the duration T2 of the low level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 for a second duration, the second duration T2 being greater than the first duration T1. The time when the second durations T2 of the low levels of the two clock signals CK1 and CK2 overlap is defined as a pause time, in which neither of the clock signals CK1 and CK2 has a rising edge, i.e., no change from low level to high level occurs, so that the scan driving circuit 300 is not activated to generate the scan signal, and the scan driving circuit 300 suspends scanning the scan lines.
As shown in FIG. 3, the scan signals generated by the scan driving circuit are driven by the clock signals CK1 and CK2 to scan the scan lines GM、GM+1After the scanning is finished, the scanning line G of the next row is suspended in the suspension timeM+2The scanning is performed until the second duration T2 of CK1 is over, and the low level is changed to the high level to trigger the scanning driving circuit 300 to scan the scanning line GM+2Scanning is performed, accordinglyUntil the second duration T2 of CK2 is over, the low level is changed to the high level to trigger the scan driving circuit 300 to scan the line GM+3A scan is performed.
That is, the display panel 20 pauses the scanning line G during the pause time1、G2……GNThe display device 1 does not generate electromagnetic interference due to scanning line scanning, and other electronic devices integrated with the display device can perform operations such as detection during the scanning line scanning, so that the influence of noise can be reduced.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, the duration of the high level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 generated by the clock signal generating unit 200 is the duration of the scan signal, in other embodiments, the duration of the high level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 output by the clock signal generating unit 200 may also be made to reach the second duration under the control of the control unit 100, so that the scan signal scans the current scan line for a longer time.
Similarly, in other embodiments, the scan driving circuit may also be activated to generate the scan signal by a falling edge of the clock signal (when the high level changes to the low level), the control unit 100 controls the duration of the high level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 for a second duration, that is, under the control of the control unit 100, the clock signals CK1 and CK2 output by the clock signal generating unit 200 have no falling edge for a longer time (pause time), and the clock signals CK1 and CK2 may not activate the scan driving circuit 300 to generate the scan signal for a longer time, so that the scan lines on the display panel 20 have a longer time without transmitting the scan signal, that is, the scan lines are suspended for a longer time, thereby reducing the noise generated by the electromagnetic interference.
In other embodiments, the duration of the low level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 may be the duration of the scan signal, and the duration of the low level in the clock signals CK1 and CK2 output by the clock signal generating unit 200 may be controlled by the control unit 100 to reach a second duration, so that the scan signal scans the current scan line for a longer time.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, in the process of displaying one frame of image on the display panel 20, the driving circuit 10 of the present embodiment can pause the scanning line G one or more times1、G2……GNTo suspend the scanning of the scanning line G1、G2……GNThe number, time, and location of scans may be preset.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the duration of the second level in the clock signal generated by the clock signal generating unit 200 is the same as the duration of the scan signal generated by the scan driving circuit 300. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the sum of the durations of the first level and the second level in the clock signal generated by the clock signal generating unit 200 may be the same as the duration of the scan signal generated by the scan driving circuit 300.
Accordingly, the control unit 100 is configured to control each time duration of the first level of the clock signal occurring is not completely the same, the time duration includes a first time duration and a second time duration, and the second time duration is greater than the first time duration, the control unit 100 is further configured to control the time duration of the first level for the second time duration at least once during the display of one frame image by the display panel 20, the sum of the first time duration of the first level and the time duration of the second level is the first clock time, and the sum of the second time duration of the first level and the time duration of the second level is the second clock time. That is, the control unit 100 may implement the control of the clock time by controlling the duration of the first level.
Or, the control unit 100 is configured to control each time duration of occurrence of the second level of the clock signal to be not completely the same, where the time duration includes a first time duration and a second time duration, and the second time duration is greater than the first time duration, the control unit 100 is further configured to control the time duration of the second level for the second time duration at least once during a display of one frame image on the display panel, a sum of the first time duration of the second level and the time duration of the first level is the first clock time, and a sum of the second time duration of the second level and the time duration of the first level is the second clock time. That is, the control unit 200 may implement the control of the clock time by controlling the duration of the second level.
The clock time is controlled to prolong the time of generating the effective signal edge, so that the scanning driving circuit 300 is not triggered to generate the scanning signal in a long time, or the scanning signal scans the current scanning line in a long time.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the driving circuit of the present invention is shown. It should be noted that the plurality of scan lines are further used for activating the display of each frame image according to the frame synchronization signal VS provided by a frame synchronization signal unit 302; the scan driving circuit 301 is further configured to provide a row synchronization signal HS _ GIP; the driving circuit of the present embodiment can set the position where the pause scanning occurs based on the frame sync signal VS and the row sync signal HS _ GIP.
Specifically, the control unit 101 in the driving circuit of this embodiment is connected to the scan driving circuit 301 of the frame synchronization signal unit 302 and the clock signal generating unit 201, and is configured to determine whether to control the duration of the first level of the clock signal CK to reach the second duration according to the frame synchronization signal VS and the line synchronization signal HS _ GIP. That is, the control unit 101 in the driving circuit of the present embodiment determines the position of the set pause time based on the frame sync signal VS and the row sync signal HS _ GIP.
For example, 1280 rows of scan lines need to be scanned during one frame of image display, and the control unit 101 controls the duration of the first level of the clock signal CK to reach the second duration every 64 rows of the sync signal HS _ GIP after receiving the frame sync signal VS, so as to form a pause time for pausing the scanning of the scan lines, thereby generating 19 pause times during one frame of image display.
However, the present invention is not limited to setting the pause time according to the frame sync signal VS and the line sync signal HS _ GIP, and in other embodiments, the control unit 101 may also determine the pause time according to other manners and generate the pause time by controlling the clock signal generating unit. For example, the control unit 101 may set a position where a pause time is generated according to time, for example, 10ms is required from the start of scanning of the 1 st row to the 1280 th row of scanning lines, and the control unit 101 may control the duration of the first level of the clock signal CK for a second duration at a timing from the start of scanning of the 1 st row to half (5ms) of the total scanning time to pause scanning of the scanning lines between the 64 th row and the 65 th row of scanning lines.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6 in combination, a schematic diagram and a scanning schematic diagram of the control unit of fig. 4 are shown, respectively. Specifically, the control unit 101 includes a memory 1011, a determination module 1012, and a control module 1013.
The memory 1011 is configured to store preset row information, where the preset row information is row information of a corresponding scan line when the clock time reaches a second clock time.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset row information is row information of a corresponding scan line when the duration of the first level of the clock signal CK is controlled to reach the second duration. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the preset row information may also be row information of a corresponding scan line when the duration of the second level of the control clock signal is longer.
For example, 1280 rows of scanning lines need to be scanned in the process of displaying one frame of image, the preset row information is that after the 64 th row of scanning lines and the 128 th row of scanning lines … … and the 1216 th row of scanning lines are finished, the duration of the first level of the clock signal is controlled for a second duration, so that after the 64 th row of scanning lines are finished and the 65 th row of scanning lines are scanned, … … between the 128 th row of scanning lines and the 129 th row of scanning lines are scanned, and after the 1216 th row of scanning lines are scanned and before the 1217 th row of scanning lines are scanned, the scanning lines are suspended for a pause time respectively.
Specifically, the memory 1011 is an editable memory, and can store different preset lines of information to meet the requirements of different electronic devices.
The determining module 1012 is connected to the frame synchronization signal unit 302, the scan driving circuit 301 and the memory 1011, and configured to determine whether the received row synchronization signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset row information after receiving a frame synchronization signal VS.
For example, the preset row information is to control the duration of the first level of the clock signal CK for a second duration after the scan line of the 64 th row is completed, so as to suspend scanning the scan line within a suspension time. After the determining module 1012 receives the frame synchronization signal VS sent by the frame synchronization signal unit 302 and before the 64 th row synchronization signal HS _ GIP sent by the scan driving circuit 301 is received, the determining module 1012 determines that the row synchronization signal HS _ GIP does not satisfy the preset row information, and determines that the row synchronization signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset row information when the 64 th row synchronization signal HS _ GIP sent by the scan driving circuit 301 is received.
The control module 1013 is connected to the frame synchronization signal unit 302, the scan driving circuit 301, and the determining module 1012, and configured to enable the duration of the first level output by the clock signal generating unit 201 to reach a second duration when the determining module 1012 determines that the row synchronization signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset row information.
For example: the clock signal CK output by the clock signal generating unit 201 is a clock signal alternately output by a high level and a low level, a rising edge of the clock signal CK is used for activating the scan driving circuit 301 to generate the scan signal, and the control module 1013 may enable the low level output by the clock signal generating unit 201 to continue for a second duration so as not to form a rising edge for a longer period of time when the determination module 1012 determines that the row synchronizing signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset row information, so as not to activate the scan driving circuit 301 to generate the scan signal, thereby reducing noise generated by electromagnetic interference.
It should be noted that the control module 1013 may implement the control on the clock signal generating unit 201 in various ways, and referring to fig. 7, a signal diagram formed by the driving circuit shown in fig. 5 is shown.
Specifically, the control module 1013 is further configured to send the row synchronization signal HS _ GIP to the clock signal generation unit 201. The clock signal generation unit 201 also generates the clock signal CK based on the synchronization signal HS _ GIP.
Here, the clock signal CK output by the clock signal generation unit 201 includes: the first clock signal CK1_ R, the second clock signal CK1_ L, the third clock signal CK2_ R, and the fourth clock signal CK2_ L enable the scan driving circuit 301 to form scan signals respectively supplied to four scan lines. As shown in fig. 7, the synchronization signal HS _ GIP includes a plurality of square wave signals, which are sequentially triggered to generate a first clock signal CK1_ R, a second clock signal CK1_ L, a third clock signal CK2_ R, and a fourth clock signal CK2_ L. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the falling edge of the square wave signal is used to trigger the formation of the clock signal CK.
The control module 1013 is configured to stop providing the horizontal synchronization signal HS _ GIP to the clock signal generation unit 201 for a first preset time when the determining module 1012 determines that the horizontal synchronization signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset horizontal information, so that the duration of the first level of the clock signal reaches the second duration.
In fig. 7, rising edges of the first clock signal CK1_ R, the second clock signal CK1_ L, the third clock signal CK2_ R, and the fourth clock signal CK2_ L are used to trigger the scan driving circuit 301 to generate a scan signal, and the control module 1013 stops sending the row sync signal HS _ GIP corresponding to the next row of scan lines (e.g., the 65 th row of scan lines) to the clock signal generation unit 201 for a first preset time when the determination module 1012 determines that the row sync signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset row information (e.g., determines that the row sync signal HS _ GIP corresponds to the row sync signal CK2_ L of the 64 th row of scan lines). In the first preset time, the clock signal generating unit 201 does not form a clock signal because it does not receive the row synchronizing signal HS _ GIP of the next row of scan lines (e.g., the 65 th row of scan lines), and further does not excite the scan driving circuit 301 to generate a scan signal for scanning the next row of scan lines (e.g., the 65 th row of scan lines), thereby reducing noise caused by electromagnetic interference. Until the first preset time, the control module 1013 sends the clock signal generating unit 201 the row synchronization signal HS _ GIP corresponding to the next row of scan lines (e.g., the 65 th row of scan lines) to scan the next row of scan lines (e.g., the 65 th row of scan lines).
In fig. 7, the time between the falling edge of CK2_ L and the rising edge of CK1_ R is the time when the first clock signal CK1_ R, the second clock signal CK1_ L, the third clock signal CK2_ R, and the fourth clock signal CK2_ L overlap, and is a pause time during which the scan driving circuit 301 pauses scanning the scan lines.
The control of the clock signal generating unit 201 by the control unit may also be implemented in other ways, and referring to fig. 8, another signal diagram formed by the driving circuit shown in fig. 5 is shown. The control unit 101 in this embodiment controls the clock signal generating unit 201 by setting the STOP signal STOP.
Specifically, the control module 1013 in the control unit 101 is configured to form a STOP signal STOP when the determination module 1012 determines that the line synchronization signal HS _ GIP satisfies the preset line information, where the STOP signal STOP includes an invalid signal and a valid signal, where the invalid signal does not affect the clock signal CK generated by the clock signal generation unit 201, the invalid signal is switched to the valid signal for triggering control of the clock signal CK, and the valid signal lasts for a time period related to a second duration of the first level in the clock signal.
In this embodiment, the stop signal is a square wave signal configured by a third level (low level) and a fourth level (high level), and the third level is different from the fourth level in potential. Wherein, the low level is an invalid signal, and the high level is an effective signal. As shown in fig. 8, after the STOP signal STOP switches from the low level to the high level, the clock signal generating unit 201 further outputs a third clock signal CK2_ R and a fourth clock signal CK2_ L based on S1 and S2 in the row sync signal HS _ GIP, and then no longer outputs the clock signal CK, so as to enter a pause time capable of pausing the scanning of the scan lines. That is, in the present embodiment, the clock signal generating unit 201 is configured to enable the duration of the first level of the output CK2_ L to be the second duration after the second preset time when the STOP signal STOP is switched from the inactive signal (low level) to the active signal (high level), with a pause time between the falling edge of CK2_ L and the rising edge of CK _ 1R.
With continued reference to fig. 8, when the STOP signal STOP switches from the active signal (high level) to the inactive signal (low level), the clock signal generating unit 201 immediately outputs the clock signal CK (specifically, the first clock signal CK1_ R), that is, immediately restores the first duration when the STOP signal STOP switches from the active signal to the inactive signal.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments, the clock signal generating unit 201 may also immediately make the duration of the output first level reach the second duration when the stop signal is switched from the inactive signal to the active signal. Or, the first duration of the first level is restored after a preset time after the STOP signal STOP is switched from the active signal to the inactive signal.
Furthermore, the utility model discloses do not do the restriction to the form of STOP signal STOP, except square wave signal, can be notch cuttype signal, trapezoidal signal etc. should not restrict with this the utility model discloses.

In the third preset time, the signal output by the clock signal generating module 2022 is at a low level for a duration of the second duration, so that during this time, the scan driving circuit suspends scanning the scan lines, and noise generated by electromagnetic interference is reduced.
