DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(13) In order to facilitate the understandings of the disclosure, the disclosure will be described below more fully with reference to accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the disclosure are given in the accompanying drawings. However, the disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, the purposes of providing these embodiments are to make the understanding of the described content of the disclosure be more thorough and comprehensive.

(14) Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have same meanings as commonly understood by one skilled in the art to which the disclosure pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the disclosure are merely for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The term “and/or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

(15) FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a driving method of a display panel according to an embodiment. The driving method includes the following content associated with steps.

(16) Step S100: dividing pixels into multiple pixel groups, each pixel group including a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit adjacent to each other, and each pixel unit including a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel sequentially arranged in an order.

(17) In particular, each pixel unit includes three color sub-pixels respectively being a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, and driving voltage polarities for adjacent sub-pixels are opposite to each other.

(18) Step S200: displaying each picture by using sequential multiple frames of images and dividing the multiple frames of images into two groups respectively as a first frame unit and a second frame unit with equal numbers of frames of images.

(19) In particular, the multiple frames of images are eight frames of images sequentially being a first frame of image, a second frame of image, a third frame of image, a fourth frame of image, a fifth frame of image, a sixth frame of image, a seventh frame of image and an eighth frame of image.

(20) Moreover, the first frame unit and the second frame unit each include four frames of images. The four frames of images in the first frame unit are adjacent to the four frames of images in the second frame unit; or, the four frames of images in the first frame unit and the four frames of images in the second frame unit are arbitrarily arranged in timing sequence. That is, display orders of the eight frames of images are arbitrary.

(21) Step S300: obtaining a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal of each pixel group in each frame of image. In particular, in the first frame unit, the first voltage signal is configured (i.e., structured and arranged) to drive the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the second sub-pixel of the second pixel unit, and the second voltage signal is configured to drive the second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the second pixel unit. In the second frame unit, the first voltage signal is configured to drive the second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the second pixel unit, the second voltage signal is configured to drive the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the second sub-pixel of the second pixel unit. The first voltage signal is not equal to the second voltage signal.

(22) In a concrete embodiment, the first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel (R), the second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel (G), and the third sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel (B). Moreover, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel are sequentially arranged in an order. It should be understood, if the red sub-pixel (R), the green sub-pixel (G) and the blue sub-pixel (B) of a same pixel unit have the first voltage signal (high voltage signal) in the first frame unit (may be any four frames of images in the first through eighth frames of images), corresponding sub-pixels have the second voltage signal (low voltage signal) in the second frame unit (i.e., remaining four frames of images except for the four frames of images in the first frame unit); if a driving signal in the first frame unit for the red sub-pixel (R), the green sub-pixel (G) and the blue sub-pixel (B) of a same pixel unit is the second voltage signal (low voltage signal), the driving signal in the second frame unit the first voltage signal (high voltage signal); that is, the same sub-pixel is alternately driven by high and low voltage signals respectively in the first frame unit and the second frame unit.

(23) In a concrete embodiment, the first voltage signal is higher than the second voltage signal, that is, the first voltage signal is a high voltage signal and the second voltage signal is a low voltage signal.

(24) Moreover, the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are respectively corresponding to different signal values. For example, the signal values corresponding to the first voltage signal are 124 and 128, and the signal values corresponding to the second voltage signal are 56 and 60. Therefore, the sub-pixels driven by the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal may have different signal values correspondingly.

(25) Step S400: adjusting the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal, to make average signals of all the first voltage signals of the multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals of all the second voltage signals of the multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals-of the first voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of different pixel groups respectively be the same, and average signals of the second voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of different pixel groups respectively be the same.

(26) In the driving method of a display panel provided by the above embodiment, by using a high and low voltage pixel driving manner of multi-frame period, sub-pixels of the same pixel unit are driven by high and low voltages in the multi-frame period, an average signal of all the high voltage signals of each frame of image is the same as the average signal of all the high voltage signals of any one of the other frames of images, an average signal of all the low voltage signals of each frame of image is same as the average signal of all the low Voltage signals of any one of the other frames of images, an average signal of the high voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of each of different pixel groups is the same as the average signal of the high voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of any one of the others of the different pixel groups, and an average signal of the low voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of each of different pixel groups is the same as the average signal of the low voltage signals in the multiple frames of images of any one of the others of the different pixel groups. As a result, the above driving method not only solves the problem of low frequency brightness flicker, but also improves the problem of color shift in timings for sub-pixels in the same pixel unit, and therefore the display quality of the display panel is increased.

(27) In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the first pixel unit 110 and the second pixel unit 120 associated with the step S100 are adjacently disposed in a same row.

(28) Moreover, in the same row, for adjacent two pixel groups, the first pixel unit 210 in one pixel group 200 and the second pixel unit 120 in the other one pixel group 100 are disposed adjacent with each other.

(29) It should be understood that, an arrangement manner of the first pixel unit 110 and the second pixel unit 120 in the pixel group 100 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be another arrangement manner as shown in FIG. 3 instead. That is, the first pixel unit 110′ and the second pixel unit 120′ are adjacently disposed in a same column.

(30) Moreover, in the same column, as to adjacent two pixel groups, the first pixel unit 210′ of one pixel group 200′ and the second pixel unit 120′ of the other one pixel group 100′ are disposed adjacent to each other.

(31) In the above embodiment, each pixel unit for example includes three color sub-pixels respectively being a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, and driving voltage polarities for adjacent sub-pixels are opposite to each other.

(32) A 6-bit driver IC being used for achieving an 8-bit resolution will be taken as an example to describe the driving method of a display panel provided by the above embodiment below.

(33) Because the 6-bit driver IC can only display 64 levels of grayscales while the 8-bit display effect requires 256 levels of grayscales, and therefore a FRC (Frame Rate Control) technology may be used to make each picture be displayed by sequential multiple frames of images. Based on the visual inertia of the human eye, by suitably controlling a frame rate and grayscale signals of adjacent frames, a 6-bit panel may exhibit an 8-bit display effect.

(34) For example, by controlling a frame rate and using eight frames as a period to display one picture, the 6-bit driver IC can achieve high voltage signals of 124 and 128 as well as low voltage signals of 56 and 60. In order to achieve a combination of a high voltage signal of 125 and a low voltage signal of 57, spatial and temporal distributions of the high voltage signals of 124 and 128 are required to achieve the high voltage signal of 125, spatial and temporal distributions of the low voltage signals of 56 and 60 are required to achieve the low voltage signal of 57.

(35) The frame rate control is a method of realizing a target grayscale display by a color mixing manner based on the visual inertia of human eyes. The color mixing manners may be classified into spatial color mixing and temporal color mixing, and in order to achieve better display effect, both of the two color mixing manner usually are used simultaneously.

(36) In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, an implementation manner of the step 100 includes the following content. In particular, for each frame of display image, four pixel groups are used as one display unit, the four pixel groups are longitudinally arranged (i.e., arranged along a longitudinal direction), each pixel group includes a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit, the first pixel units and the second pixel units in adjacent pixel groups are alternately arranged (i.e., in the adjacent pixel groups, the first pixel unit of one pixel group is adjacent to the second pixel unit of the other one pixel group). Each pixel unit includes a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G) and a blue sub-pixel (B) sequentially arranged in an order; the red sub-pixel (R) and the blue sub-pixel (B) of the first pixel unit as well as the green sub-pixel (G) of the second pixel unit use a first voltage signal (high voltage signal) to be driven, the green sub-pixel (G) of the first pixel unit as well as the red sub-pixel (R) and the blue sub-pixel (B) of the second pixel unit use a second voltage signal (low voltage signal) to be driven. For example, the first pixel group 100 includes the first pixel unit 110 and the second pixel unit 120, the first pixel unit 110 includes the red sub-pixel (R1), the green sub-pixel (G1) and the blue sub-pixel (B1) sequentially arranged in an order, the second pixel unit 120 includes the red sub-pixel (R2), the green sub-pixel (G2) and the blue sub-pixel (B2) sequentially arranged in an order. The red sub-pixel (R1) and the blue sub-pixel (B1) of the first pixel unit 110 as well as the green sub-pixel (G2) of the second pixel unit 120 use the first voltage signal (high voltage signal) to be driven, the green sub-pixel (G1) of the first pixel unit 110 as well as the red sub-pixel (R2) and the blue sub-pixel (B2) of the second pixel unit 120 use the second voltage signal (low voltage signal) to be driven. Other three pixel groups are similar to the first pixel group 100, and thus will be not repeated herein. Therefore, the high voltage signal and the low voltage signal in the figure alternately drive each sub-pixel.

(37) In a concrete embodiment, the multiple frames of images in the step S200 is eight frames of images.

(38) In a concrete embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, an implementation manner of the step S300 includes the following content. In particular, eight frames are taken as one display period. In the figure, A1-128 represents a voltage signal of a sub-pixel A1 is 128, and A2-56 represents a voltage signal of a sub-pixel A2 is 56. That is, the sub-pixel A1 is the red sub-pixel (R1) or the blue sub-pixel (B1) of the first pixel unit 110 in FIG. 4 and uses the first voltage signal (high voltage signal) to be driven; and the sub-pixel A2 is the red sub-pixel (R2) or the blue sub-pixel (B2) of the second pixel unit 120 and uses the second voltage signal (low voltage signal) to be driven. It should be understood that, the sub-pixel A1 and the sub-pixel A2 satisfy a condition of having the same color. According to the above naming rule, it can be found that A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 are sub-pixels with the same color (red sub-pixels or blue sub-pixels), and the sub-pixels A1 and A2, the sub-pixels A3 and A4, the sub-pixels A5 and A6, and the sub-pixels A7 and A8 belong to different pixel groups. It should be understood that the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are the first sub-pixels or the third sub-pixels in the first pixel units of different pixel groups, use the first voltage signals (high voltage signals) to be driven in the preceding four frames and use the second voltage signals (low voltage signals) to be driven in the succeeding four frames. The sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are the first sub-pixels or the third sub-pixels in the second pixel units of different pixel groups, use the second voltage signals (low voltage signals) to be driven in the preceding four frames and use the first voltage signals (high voltage signals) to be driven in the succeeding four frames.

(39) In a concrete embodiment, an implementation manner of the step S400 includes the following content. In particular, as seen from FIG. 5, in a first frame, the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 128, 124, 124 and 124; the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 56, 56, 60 and 56. In a second frame, the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 124, 124, 128 and 124; and the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 60, 56, 56 and 56. In a third frame, the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 124, 128, 124 and 124; and the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 56, 56, 56 and 60. In a fourth frame, the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 124, 124, 124 and 128; and the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 56, 60, 56 and 56. In a fifth frame, the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 56, 56, 60 and 56; and the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 128, 124, 124 and 124. In a sixth frame, the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 60, 56, 56 and 56; and the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 124, 124, 128 and 124. In a seventh frame, the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 56, 56, 56 and 60; and the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 124, 128, 124 and 124. In an eighth frame, the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 respectively are 56, 60, 56 and 56; and the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 respectively are 124, 124, 124 and 128.

(40) In one aspect, in the first frame, an average signal of the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 is:

(41) $\frac{128+124+124+124}{4}=125.$

(42) Moreover, in each of the second frame, the third frame and the fourth frame, the average signal of the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 also is 125; and each of the fifth frame, the sixth frame, the seventh frame and the eighth frame, the average signal of the first voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 also is 125. That is, in the display of the eight frames of images, the average signals of all the first voltage signals of the respective frames of images are the same.

(43) In another aspect, in the first frame, an average signal of the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 is:

(44) $\frac{56+56+60+56}{4}=57.$

(45) Moreover, in each of the second frame, the third frame and the fourth frame, the average signal of the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 also is 57; and each of the fifth frame, the sixth frame, the seventh frame and the eighth frame, the average signal of the second voltage signals for the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 also is 57. That is, in the display of the eight frames of images, the average signals of all the second voltage signals of the respective frames of images are the same.

(46) Therefore, in spatial aspect (i.e., in each frame), the average signal of the first voltage signals (high voltage signals) for all sub-pixels is 125, and the average signal of the second voltage signals (low voltage signals) for all sub-pixels is 57. In particular, as listed in the following table 1.

(47) TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eighth Voltage signal frame frame frame frame frame frame frame frame Frame No Average signal of first 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 125 voltage signals Average signal of  57  57  57  57  57  57  57  57 second voltage signals

(48) In addition, in one hand, as shown in FIG. 5, in the preceding four frames, an average signal of the first voltage signals for the sub-pixel A1 is:

(49) $\frac{128+124+124+124}{4}=125.$

(50) Likewise, the average signal of the first voltage signals for each of the sub-pixels A4, A5 and A8 also is 125 and thus is the same as the average signal of the first voltage signals for the sub-pixel A1.

(51) Moreover, in the succeeding four frames, an average signal of the second voltage signals for each of the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 is:

(52) $\frac{56+60+56+56}{4}=57.$

(53) Therefore, in the display of eight frames of images, the average signal of voltages for each of the sub-pixels A1, A4, A5 and A8 is the average of 125 and 57.

(54) In other hand, in the preceding four frames, an average signal of the second voltage signals for each of the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 is that:

(55) $\frac{56+60+56+56}{4}=57.$

(56) Likewise, in the succeeding four frames, the average signal of the first voltage signals for each of the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 is:

(57) $\frac{128+124+124+124}{4}=125.$

(58) Therefore, in the display of eight frames of images, the average signal of voltages for each of the sub-pixels A2, A3, A6 and A7 is the average of 125 and 57.

(59) Sum up, in temporal aspect (i.e., in the eight frames), the displayed average signals for the respective sub-pixels (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8) all are the average of 125 and 57. In detail, as listed in the following table 2:

(61) In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in the figure, G1-56 represents a voltage signal for the sub-pixel G1 is 56, G2-128 represents a voltage signal for the sub-pixel G2 is 128. That is, the sub-pixel G1 represents the green sub-pixel (G1) of the first pixel unit 110 in FIG. 4 and uses the second voltage signal (low voltage signal) to be driven, and the sub-pixel G2 represents the green sub-pixel (G2) of the second pixel unit 120 in FIG. 4 and uses the first voltage signal (high voltage signal) to be driven. According to the above naming rule, it can be found that the sup-pixels G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7 and G8 have the same color and all are green sub-pixels. Furthermore, the sub-pixels G1, G4, G5 and G8 respectively belong to the first pixel units 110 of different pixel groups and use the second voltage signals (low voltage signals) to be driven; and the sub-pixels G2, G3, G6 and G7 respectively belong to the second pixel units 120 of different pixel groups and use the first voltage signals (high voltage signals) to be driven.

(62) Based on the description associated with FIG. 5, it can be rightly found that for the green sub-pixels (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7 and G8) in FIG. 6, an average signal of the first voltage signals (high voltage signals) in spatial aspect (i.e., each frame) is 125, and an average signal of the second voltage signals (low voltage signals) in spatial aspect is 57; and in temporal aspect (i.e., for eight frames), the displayed average signal for each of the green sub-pixels (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7 and G8) is the average of 125 and 57.

(63) In the above embodiments, by adjusting distributions of high voltage signals and low voltage signals in spatial and temporal aspects, it can realize equivalent high voltage signals (average signals) in spatial and temporal being 125 and equivalent low voltage signals (average signals) in spatial and temporal being 57 for red sub-pixels (R), blue sub-pixels (B) and green sub-pixels (G) in the picture, and thus can ensure that the low frequency brightness flicker is not easily perceived.

(64) It should be understood that, by adjusting distributions of first voltage signals and second voltage signals in spatial and temporal aspects, it also can achieve a picture display effect of high voltage signal being 126 and low voltage signal being 58, and a picture display effect of high voltage signal being 127 and low voltage signal being 59, please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 for details.

(65) In addition, when the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are kept unchanged in spatial and temporal (i.e., in each frame of image and in the multiple frames of images, the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal are kept unchanged), it can achieve display effects such as a combination of high voltage signal being 124 and low voltage signal being 56, or a combination of high voltage signal being 128 and low voltage signal being 60, please refer to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 for details.

(66) In addition, an embodiment of the disclosure provides a display apparatus. As shown in FIG. 11, the display apparatus includes:

(67) a display panel 10, wherein the display panel is divided into multiple pixel groups 100, each pixel group 100 includes a first pixel unit 110 and a second pixel unit 120 adjacent to each other, and each pixel unit includes a first sub-pixel R, a second sub-pixel G and a third sub-pixel B arranged in sequence;

(68) a driving module (also referred to as driving circuit) 20, configured to make each picture be displayed by sequential multiple frames of images and divide the multiple frames of images into two groups respectively as a first frame unit and a second frame unit with equal numbers of frames of images, and further configured to obtain a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal for each pixel group 100 in each frame of image and adjust the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal, to make average signals of all the first voltage signals for the multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals of all the second voltage signals for the multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals of the first voltage signals in the multiple frames of images for different pixel groups 100 respectively be the same, and average signals of the second voltage signals in the multiple frames of images for different pixel groups 100 respectively be the same. Wherein the first voltage signal drives the first sub-pixel R and the third sub-pixel B of the first pixel unit 110 as well as the second sub-pixel G of the second pixel unit 120, the second voltage signal drives the first sub-pixel R and the third sub-pixel B of the second pixel unit 120 as well as the second sub-pixel G of the first pixel unit 110, and the first voltage signal is not equal to the second voltage signal.

(69) In an exemplary embodiment, in the above display panel 10, for adjacent two pixel groups, the first pixel unit of one pixel group and the second pixel unit of the other one pixel group are adjacently disposed.

(70) In an embodiment, the adjacent two pixel groups are two pixel groups adjacent to each other in a row direction or in a column direction.

(71) In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the figure is a flow chart of a driving method of a display panel. When a display period of one picture is an eight-frame period, and the first voltage signal is higher than the second voltage signal, steps of the method includes the following content.

(72) Step S100′: dividing pixels into multiple pixel groups, each pixel group including a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit adjacent to each other, and each pixel unit including a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel sequentially arranged in an order.

(73) Step S200′: displaying each picture by sequential eight frames of images and dividing the eight frames of images into two groups respectively as a first frame unit and a second frame unit with equal numbers of frames.

(74) In particular, the first frame unit and the second frame unit each include four frames of images; the four frames of images in the first frame unit is adjacent to the four frames of images in the second frame unit, or the four frames of images in the first frame unit and the four frames of images in the second frame unit are arbitrarily arranged in timing sequence. That is, display orders of the eight frames of images are arbitrary.

(75) Step S300′: obtaining a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal of each pixel group in each frame of image. In the first frame unit, the first voltage signal drives the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the second sub-pixel of the second pixel unit, the second voltage signal drives the second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the second pixel unit. In the second frame unit, the first voltage signal drives the second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the second pixel unit, the second voltage-signal drives the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel of the first pixel unit as well as the second sub-pixel of the second pixel unit. The first voltage signal is higher than the second voltage signal.

(76) Step S400′: adjusting the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal and thereby making average signals of all the first voltage signals of multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals of all the second voltage signals of multiple frames of images respectively be the same, average signals of the first voltage signals in the eight frames of images for different pixel groups respectively be the same, and average signals of the second voltage signals in the eight frames of images for different pixel groups respectively be the same.

(77) In an embodiment, the first voltage signal is a higher voltage signal with respect to the second voltage signal, and correspondingly the second voltage signal is a low voltage signal. In addition, the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal respectively have different voltage signal values, and these voltage signal values represent luminance signals displayed by sub-pixels. The above embodiment adjusts luminance signals of the sub-pixels in each frame as well as eight-frame period, so that average luminance signals in each frame (in spatial) as well as eight-frame period (in temporal) of luminance signals of respective sub-pixels are correspondingly consistent.

(78) The above display apparatus uses a high and low voltages pixel driving manner of multi-frame period, so that the average signals of all the high voltage signals of the respective frames of images are the same, the average signals of all the low voltage signals of the respective frames of images are the same, the average signals of the high voltage signals in the multiple frames of images for different pixel groups respectively are the same, and the average signals of the low voltage signals in the multiple frames of images for different pixel groups respectively are the same. Therefore, the driving method not only solve the problem of low frequency brightness flicker, but also improves the problem of color shift in timings of sub-pixels in the same pixel unit, and thus display quality of the display panel is improved consequently.

(79) The technical features of the above mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, however, as long as there is no conflict in a combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope of the description.
