It should be noted that the display panel is provided with a plurality of pixels, and the display panel may be a liquid crystal display panel, an organic light emitting display panel, or any other active matrix display panel having a plurality of pixels. The display panel generally includes an array substrate and a color filter substrate. A pixel is a basic unit of image display, and generally includes three sub-pixels of different colors, i.e., red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Each sub-pixel is positioned in a grid structure formed by a plurality of grid lines and data lines which are arranged in a crossed mode on the array substrate, wherein each sub-pixel corresponds to a thin film transistor, and the thin film transistor comprises: the grid electrode of the thin film transistor is connected with the grid line, the source electrode of the thin film transistor is connected with the data line, and the drain electrode of the thin film transistor is connected with the pixel electrode. Since the gate driving circuit controls the output of the gate line signal and the data driving circuit controls the output of the data line signal, the control of the gate driving circuit and the data driving circuit can control the on of the thin film transistor of the corresponding sub-pixel and the input of the data signal, i.e., the pixel electrode voltage, thereby controlling the display brightness of each sub-pixel. The color filter layers with different colors are arranged on the color film substrate and correspond to the sub-pixels on the array substrate one by one, and the color display of the display device can be realized.
In other structures of display panels, the color filter layer may also be integrated on the array substrate, that is, on the basis of the above structure of the array substrate, after the structures such as the thin film transistor, the gate line, the data line, etc. are manufactured, the color filter layer is manufactured above the structures, and then the opposite substrate of the array substrate is generally a transparent substrate. Specifically, the embodiment of the invention is described with a structure in which a color filter layer is integrated on an array substrate, as shown in fig. 2, the array substrate is integrated with a color filter layer, and the array substrate includes a plurality of pixel units. The pixels on the array substrate comprise sub-pixels with four different colors, namely red (R), green (G), blue (B) and white (W), wherein the white sub-pixel is a brightening sub-pixel. Of course, the number of sub-pixels included in each pixel is not limited to four, each pixel may also include sub-pixels of other colors, and the brightness enhancing sub-pixel may also be a transparent sub-pixel. The brightness enhancement sub-pixel is a sub-pixel having a higher light transmittance and a higher display luminance than the red, green, and blue sub-pixels. For example, the transmittance of the red sub-pixel is about 18%, the transmittance of the green sub-pixel is about 60%, the transmittance of the blue sub-pixel is about 6%, and the transmittance of the white sub-pixel can reach more than 96%. Other structures of the display device in the embodiment of the present invention are the same as those in the prior art, and are not described herein again.
In the related art liquid crystal display device, as shown in fig. 1, a power supply supplies a required voltage to each module, a demodulator 100 outputs image information (e.g., image information of RGB pixels) of sub-pixels of different colors to a timing controller 101, and the timing controller 101 outputs timing signals to a gate driving circuit 103 and a data driving circuit 102, and controls output timings of the gate driving circuit 103 and the data driving circuit 102, respectively. The array substrate comprises a plurality of grid lines and data lines, the grid lines and the data lines are vertically distributed to form a grid shape, a sub-pixel is formed in each grid, each sub-pixel comprises a thin film transistor, each thin film transistor comprises a grid electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode, the grid electrode is connected with the grid lines, and the source electrode is connected with the data lines. The gate driving circuit 103 sequentially turns on the thin film transistors connected to each gate line one by one so that the sub-pixels corresponding to the thin film transistors write data input by the corresponding data driving circuit 102, that is, voltages of the pixel electrodes, control liquid crystal deflection, and display different pictures.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the display device includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and at least one of the sub-pixels is a brightness-enhanced sub-pixel. The display device further includes: and the photosensitive controller is connected with the time schedule controller and is used for outputting a control signal to the time schedule controller according to the change of the ambient brightness, and the control signal is used for controlling the display of the brightening sub-pixel, namely, the data driving circuit outputs the corresponding pixel electrode voltage to the brightening sub-pixel.
Specifically, the display device includes four sub-pixels of red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W), and the brightness enhancement sub-pixel is a white sub-pixel. Correspondingly, the demodulator inputs image information of red (R), green (G), blue (B) and white (W) sub-pixels to the time sequence controller, the photosensitive controller outputs control signals to the time sequence controller according to the change of the brightness of the external environment, the time sequence controller controls the output time sequences of the gate driving circuit and the data driving circuit, except that the conventional control gate driving circuit sequentially opens the thin film transistors on each gate line and the data driving circuit to output pixel electrode voltage data to the red, green and blue sub-pixels, the time sequence controller controls whether data of the white sub-pixels are written or not according to the control signals input by the photosensitive controller, and therefore whether liquid crystals corresponding to the white sub-pixels are deflected or not is controlled. Specifically, when the brightness of the surrounding environment is greater than a certain threshold, the liquid crystal corresponding to the white sub-pixel can be deflected, so that light transmission is realized, and the display brightness is further improved; or, when the brightness of the surrounding environment is less than a certain threshold, the liquid crystal corresponding to the white sub-pixel may not be deflected, i.e., the sub-pixel is opaque, so as to save power consumption.
The above embodiments are described by taking the display device as a liquid crystal display device as an example, and it should be noted that the display device provided by the embodiments of the present invention can also be applied to an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) device and any other active matrix display device having a plurality of pixels. When the light-sensitive controller is used for the organic light-emitting display device, the light-sensitive controller outputs a control signal to the time sequence controller according to the ambient brightness, and the control signal is used for controlling whether the brightening sub-pixel (such as a white sub-pixel) emits light or not, namely when the ambient brightness is higher than a preset threshold value, the brightening sub-pixel emits light, the display brightness is improved, and when the ambient brightness is lower than the preset threshold value, the brightening sub-pixel does not emit light, so that the energy consumption is saved.
When the display device is a liquid crystal display device, the liquid crystal display device controls liquid crystal deflection by using an electric field to change light transmittance so as to display images. Liquid crystal display devices are roughly classified into a vertical electric field driving type and a horizontal electric field driving type according to the direction of an electric field for driving liquid crystals. The vertical electric field driving type liquid crystal display device has a common electrode and a pixel electrode disposed opposite to each other on upper and lower substrates, and a vertical electric field is formed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode to drive liquid crystal, such as a TN (twisted nematic) type, VA (vertical alignment) type liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device of the horizontal electric field driving type sets a common electrode and a pixel electrode on a lower substrate, and forms a horizontal or multidimensional electric field between the common electrode and the pixel electrode to drive liquid crystal, such as an ADS (Advanced-super dimensional switching) type, an IPS (in plane switching) type liquid crystal display device. The display device provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to any type of liquid crystal display device.
The display device provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprises a plurality of sub-pixels, and at least one of the sub-pixels is a brightness-enhancing sub-pixel. The display device also comprises a photosensitive controller, and the photosensitive controller can select whether the brightening sub-pixel displays according to the change of the ambient brightness, so that the display device can display more clearly when the ambient brightness is higher, and the display device can save power consumption when the ambient brightness is not high.
Optionally, the photosensitive controller is configured to output a control signal to the timing controller according to a change of ambient brightness, where the control signal is configured to control display of the brightness enhancement sub-pixel, and the control signal specifically includes:
when the ambient brightness exceeds a preset threshold value, the photosensitive controller outputs a starting signal to the time sequence controller, the starting signal controls the data driving circuit to output a data signal to the brightening sub-pixel, and the brightening sub-pixel displays to improve the display brightness;
when the ambient brightness is lower than the preset threshold value, the photosensitive controller outputs a closing signal to the time sequence controller, the closing signal controls the data driving circuit to stop outputting the data signal to the brightening sub-pixel, and the brightening sub-pixel is not displayed any more, so that the power consumption is saved.
For example, when the brightness of the surrounding environment is greater than 300nit, the photosensitive controller outputs a start signal to the timing controller, and the timing controller controls the data driving circuit to write data to the brightening sub-pixels according to the control signal output by the photosensitive controller and the image information output by the demodulator, that is, the voltage of the pixel electrodes of the brightening sub-pixels is controlled, so as to realize display; and when the brightness of the surrounding environment is less than 300nit, the photosensitive controller outputs a closing signal to the time sequence controller, and the time sequence controller controls the data driving circuit not to write data into the brightening sub-pixel and the brightening sub-pixel not to display according to the control signal output by the photosensitive controller and the image information output by the demodulator. It should be noted that the brightness threshold may be adjustable according to an actual environment, and the threshold is illustrated as 300nit in the embodiment of the present invention.
Optionally, the demodulator is an FPGA (Field-programmable gate array) demodulator.
Optionally, each pixel on the display substrate includes four different color sub-pixels, and the brightness enhancing sub-pixel is a white sub-pixel. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, each pixel on the array substrate includes a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G), a blue sub-pixel (B), and a white sub-pixel (W), wherein the white sub-pixel (W) is a brightness enhancement sub-pixel. Of course the brightness enhancing sub-pixel may also be a clear sub-pixel or a sub-pixel of another color. For example, a yellow subpixel or the like may be used.
Optionally, the brightening sub-pixel is opposite to the other three sub-pixels. Specifically, each pixel includes four sub-pixels with different colors, the four sub-pixels with different colors may be sequentially arranged, or as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the brightness enhancement sub-pixel is disposed opposite to the sub-pixels with three other colors. Taking the sub-pixel shape as a rectangle as an example, the arrangement of the brightening sub-pixel opposite to the sub-pixels of other three colors means that the long side of the brightening sub-pixel corresponds to the short side of the three brightening sub-pixels, the brightening sub-pixel can be located at any position of the three sub-pixels, and is determined by the arrangement mode of the three sub-pixels, preferably, the three sub-pixels are vertically arranged, and the brightening sub-pixels are horizontally arranged above or below the three sub-pixels, so that the brightness of the sub-pixel of each color can be improved, and the display effect is better.
