Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a driving method in the present embodiment. The driving method is used for driving a display panel in the display device to display pictures. In some embodiments, the display panel may be, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, an OLED display panel, a QLED display panel, or another type of display panel, which is not limited herein. The driving method includes steps S101 to S106.

S101, acquiring a data signal of a picture.

When the display device displays the picture, the display device displays the picture frame by frame, each picture corresponds to a data signal, after the display device receives the data signal of one frame of picture, the data signal of the picture is processed and converted into a corresponding driving voltage, and each pixel unit in the display panel is driven to work by the driving voltage so as to display the picture. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the display device first acquires the data signal of the screen, and performs step S102.

When the display device is powered on, the controller reads a Look-Up Table (Look-Up-Table, abbreviated as LUT) stored in the ROM into the display Look-Up unit.

The display lookup table stores a corresponding relationship between the data signal and the driving voltage. Therefore, after the display device acquires the data signal, the first driving voltage signal and the second driving voltage signal corresponding to the data signal can be acquired through the display lookup table in the display lookup unit.

In this embodiment, the first driving voltage signal is higher than the reference driving voltage signal corresponding to the data signal, and the second driving voltage signal is lower than the reference driving voltage signal. The reference driving voltage signal is a driving voltage corresponding to the data signal when the display device does not adjust the voltage of the driving voltage corresponding to the data signal. That is, the display device finds the driving voltage value corresponding to the gray value of each sub-pixel in the data signal according to the conventional correspondence between the gray value and the driving voltage value, and the driving voltage value corresponding to the sub-pixel of the whole frame forms the reference driving voltage signal.

The first driving voltage signal is higher than the reference driving voltage signal, which indicates that the display device needs to perform the increasing processing on the driving voltage corresponding to the data signal of the whole frame. The second driving voltage signal is lower than the reference driving voltage signal, which indicates that the display device needs to perform the lowering process on the driving voltage corresponding to the data signal of the whole frame.

The higher the value of the high-frequency factor, the larger the change in the brightness of the picture, and the picture is a high-frequency picture. Accordingly, a smaller value of the high frequency factor indicates that the luminance change of the picture is not obvious, and the picture is a low frequency picture.

As shown in table 1, Pixel (i, j) represents the Pixel in the ith row and the jth column of the display panel, where i and j are both positive integers. The following description will be given taking as an example the calculation of the gray scale difference between each sub-Pixel in the Pixel (i, j) in the data signal and the corresponding sub-Pixel in the adjacent Pixel.

Pixel(i-1,j-1)	Pixel(i-1,j)	Pixel(i-1,j+1)
			Pixel(i,j-1)	Pixel(i,j)	Pixel(i,j+1)
Pixel(i+1,j-1)	Pixel(i+1,j)	Pixel(i+1,j+1)

It is assumed that each pixel includes three sub-pixels of a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and 1 denotes the red sub-pixel, 2 denotes the green sub-pixel, and 3 denotes the blue sub-pixel. The gray scale difference values of the red, green, and blue sub-pixels Pixel (i, j,1, i, j,2, i, j,3) of the Pixel (i, j) and the corresponding sub-pixels of the neighboring pixels can be expressed as follows:

A1＝ABS(pixel(i,j,1)-pixel(i-1,j-1,1))

A2＝ABS(pixel(i,j,1)-pixel(i-1,j,1))

A9＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i-1,j-1,2))

A10＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i-1,j,2))

A11＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i-1,j+1,2))

A12＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i,j-1,2))

A13＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i,j+1,2))

A14＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i+1,j-1,2))

A15＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i+1,j,2))

A16＝ABS(pixel(i,j,2)-pixel(i+1,j+1,2))

A17＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i-1,j-1,3))

A18＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i-1,j,3))

A19＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i-1,j+1,3))

A20＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i,j-1,3))

A23＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i+1,j,3))

A24＝ABS(pixel(i,j,3)-pixel(i+1,j+1,3))

since there are eight pixels adjacent to the Pixel (i, j), the number of gray scale differences corresponding to each sub-Pixel is eight, and the sub-pixels of three colors of red, green, and blue have 24 gray scale differences in total, and the 24 gray scale differences are taken as the gray scale differences corresponding to the Pixel (i, j).

In one embodiment, for convenience of calculation, after obtaining the 24 gray scale difference values, a normalization process is further performed on the 24 gray scale difference values to normalize the gray scale difference values to a value between 0 and 1. It is to be understood that the gray scale value of each sub-pixel may be normalized before calculating the gray scale difference value, and is not limited in particular.

S1042, acquiring the maximum value of the gray scale difference values corresponding to the pixels as the high-frequency factor corresponding to the pixels.

And after acquiring a plurality of gray scale difference values corresponding to each pixel, taking the maximum gray scale difference value in each pixel as a high-frequency factor corresponding to the pixel. It will be appreciated that the high frequency factor is a value between 0 and 1.

Specifically, in an embodiment, please refer to fig. 7, and fig. 7 is a specific flowchart illustrating step S105 of the driving method shown in fig. 1. The step S105 includes steps S1051 to S1052.

S1051, adjusting the weight factors of the first quasi-driving voltage signal and the second quasi-driving voltage signal according to the high frequency factor.

In one embodiment, adjusting the weighting factors of the first and second quasi-driving voltage signals according to the high frequency factor comprises: setting the high frequency factor as a weight factor of a corresponding pixel in the first quasi-driving voltage signal, and taking a difference value between 1 and the high frequency factor as the weight factor of the corresponding pixel in the second quasi-driving voltage signal.

Specifically, the high-frequency factor corresponding to the Pixel (i, j) is labeled as HF (i, j). The high frequency factor HF (i, j) is taken as the weight factor for the Pixel (i, j) in the first quasi drive voltage signal and (1-HF (i, j)) is taken as the weight factor for the Pixel (i, j) in the second quasi drive voltage signal.

And S1052, generating the driving voltage signal according to the first quasi driving voltage signal, the second quasi driving voltage signal and the corresponding weight factors thereof.

And calculating the value of the first quasi-driving voltage signal multiplied by HF (i, j) corresponding to the Pixel (i, j) in the first quasi-driving voltage signal as an A value, calculating the value of the second quasi-driving voltage signal multiplied by (1-HF (i, j)) corresponding to the Pixel (i, j) in the second quasi-driving voltage signal as a B value, and calculating the sum of the A value and the B value as the driving voltage value corresponding to the Pixel (i, j) in the driving voltage signal. According to the method, the driving voltage value corresponding to each pixel in the driving voltage signal can be calculated, so that the driving voltage signal of the whole picture is formed.

And S106, driving the display panel to display the picture according to the driving voltage signal.

As can be seen from the process of calculating the driving voltage signal in step S105, the higher the high frequency factor is, the larger the component of the first quasi-driving voltage signal in the driving voltage signal is; the lower the high frequency factor, the larger the contribution of the second quasi-drive voltage signal in the drive voltage signal. The weight of the first quasi-driving voltage signal and the weight of the second quasi-driving voltage signal in the driving voltage signals are adjusted according to the high-frequency factor of the picture, and after the driving voltage signals are adopted to drive the display panel to display the picture, the visual angle of the picture can be improved, the color cast problem under a large visual angle can be improved, and the condition of wire break can be prevented.

In this embodiment, after acquiring a data signal of a picture, the driving method acquires a first driving voltage signal and a second driving voltage signal corresponding to the data signal, where the first driving voltage signal is higher than a reference driving voltage signal corresponding to the data signal, and the second driving voltage signal is lower than the reference driving voltage signal; generating a first quasi-driving voltage signal according to a first preset generation rule and a second quasi-driving voltage signal according to a second preset generation rule by using the first driving voltage signal and the second driving voltage signal; calculating a high-frequency factor corresponding to each pixel in the data signal according to a preset calculation rule, and generating a driving voltage signal according to the high-frequency factor, the first quasi-driving voltage signal and the second quasi-driving voltage signal; and finally, driving the display panel to display the picture according to the driving voltage signal. The method can improve the visual angle of the display device and the contrast of the picture in a large visual angle, improve the problem of color cast of the picture in the large visual angle and prevent the occurrence of the broken line.
