However, the disclosure can be embodied in many forms of substitution, and should not be interpreted as merely limited to the embodiments described herein.

Please refer toFIG. 1.FIG. 1is a flowchart schematic view of a method of potential regulation of display panel according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method of potential regulation in the present invention is use for solve the problem of electric potential shift for display panel. The specifically method of potential regulation comprising following steps:

Step S101: obtaining a display bias value ΔVthof the display panel.

The step of “obtaining a display bias value ΔVthof the display panel” indicates to obtain the difference between the theoretical output voltage and the actual output voltage when the display panel outputs a certain voltage. Wherein, ΔVthis the theoretical output voltage minus the actual output voltage. If ΔVthis less than 0, which means the theoretical output voltage value is less than the actual output voltage value, at this time the potential deviation is positive excursion. Similarly, if the ΔVthis more than 0, the potential deviation is negative excursion.

In this step, the actual output voltage is an output voltage in a display brightness of the display panel and sensing from a voltage potential sensor. Wherein the voltage potential sensor could be a potential sensing IC, which sensing the actual output voltage from display panel according to the potential sensing IC electrically connecting to sensing line of the display panel.

Wherein the display bias value ΔVthis voltage bias value of pixel on the display panel. The display bias value ΔVthcould be the minimum display bias value of all pixels on the display panel, and also could be the minimum display bias value of the each row pixels or the each column pixels on the display panel.

For example, obtaining the minimum display bias value of the each row pixels or the each column pixels on the display panel. The method of obtaining the minimum display bias value, which is obtaining the potential bias value of the each row pixels or the each column pixels by the voltage potential sensor, and comparing all of the obtaining bias values to obtain the minimum display bias value of the each row pixels or the each column pixels.

Similarly, the method of obtaining the minimum display bias value, which is obtaining the potential bias value of all pixels on the display panel by the voltage potential sensor, and comparing all of the obtaining bias values of all pixels to obtain the minimum display bias value.

Step S102: calculating an outputting voltage value Vt=Vi+ΔVthwhich needs currently according a currently inputting voltage value Viand the display bias value ΔVth.

When the display bias value ΔVthis not equal to 0 in the step S101, the display panel has potential deviation. In order to not affect the display effect of display panel, it needs to provide a compensation value to display panel, wherein the compensation value could be the minimum display bias value of the pixels on the display panel in step S101, and also could be the minimum display bias value of the rows or columns. Therefore, it could obtains the currently needs outputting voltage value Vt=Vi+ΔVth.

Wherein, Vtis a currently needs outputting voltage value, Viis a currently inputting voltage value.

Step S103, determining whether the currently inputting voltage value Viis in regulation range of the potential regulator.

According to obtain the currently needs outputting voltage value Vtfrom the step S102, determining whether the currently needs inputting voltage value Viis in regulation range of the potential regulator. If yes, enter into the step S104; if no, enter into the step S105. The specifically method of the step S104and the step S105as following described.

If yes, the currently needs outputting voltage value Vtis in regulation range of the potential regulator, the controller controlling the potential regulator outputting voltage Vt.

Step S105, if no, regulating the regulation range of the potential regulator according to the outputting voltage value Vt.

If no, the currently needs outputting voltage value Vtis exceeds the regulation range of the potential regulator, the potential regulator cannot output voltage Vt. Therefore, it needs to regulating the regulation range of the potential regulator let the potential regulator which adjusted the regulation range could output voltage for outputting voltage Vt.

The voltage value Vi255is the outputting voltage value while gray scale 255, Vt0is the outputting voltage value while gray scale 0. Selectively, it could also selects at least two others gray scale value and respectively calculating the correspondingly outputting voltage values; and then calculating the respectively correspondingly outputting voltage values of the maximum gray scale is gray scale 255 and the minimum gray scale is gray scale 0 according to linear interpolation.
