Title: Field-sequential display panel, field-sequential display apparatus and driving method

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2015/089943 filed on Sep. 18, 2015, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201510289801.9 filed on May 29, 2015, the disclosures of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The disclosure relates to the field of displaying technology, and in particular, to a field-sequential display panel, a field-sequential display apparatus and a driving method. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Currently, methods for color display in a liquid crystal display apparatus include a red (R), green (G) and blue (B) filter layer display method and a color field-sequential display method. 
     For the liquid crystal display apparatus using the RGB filter layer display method, each pixel is divided into three RGB sub-pixels, and a filter layer of the corresponding color is provided for each sub-pixel, and light emitted by a backlight is transmitted to the RGB filter layer through a liquid crystal layer, thereby forming a color image. 
     For the liquid crystal display apparatus using the field-sequential display method, an RGB color LED lamp is arranged in each pixel cell, rather than the pixel cell is decomposed into three RGB sub-pixels, resulting in that liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the pixel cell are controlled to deflect a predetermined angle in a time-sharing mode, and the RGB color LED lamp is controlled to emit trichromatic light R, G and B in the time-sharing mode through the liquid crystal layer, so that the corresponding color value is displayed in a frame for the pixel cell. 
     In the field-sequential display method, no color filter layer is needed to be arranged, but only a backlight is used as a color providing source. However, since the RGB color LED lamp in the backlight is needed to keep switching, the life of the LED lamp is greatly reduced, and if the LED lamp is damaged and cannot emit light, the performance of the display apparatus is greatly influenced.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Hereinafter, the technical solutions in embodiments of the disclosure are described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work fall into the scope of protection of the present disclosure. 
     A field-sequential display panel is provided according to one embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in  FIG. 1 a   , the field-sequential display panel includes a lower substrate  102 , an upper substrate  103  and a liquid crystal layer  104  arranged between the lower substrate  102  and the upper substrate  103 . The lower substrate  102  may include pixel cells  101  arranged on a substrate  50 , and each of the pixel cells  101  includes a thin film transistor (abbreviated as TFT). Additionally, the field-sequential display panel may further include an OLED light source  20  arranged on one side of the substrate  50  facing away from the thin film transistor to provide trichromatic light for the pixel cells  101 . 
     The OLED light source may include multiple groups of trichromatic light sources  201 , each of the groups of trichromatic light sources  201  includes a first color sub-light source  2011 , a second color sub-light source  2012  and a third color sub-light source  2013 . As shown in  FIG. 1 b   , each sub-light source may include an anode  2014 , a cathode  2016  and a light emitting layer  2015  arranged between the anode  2014  and the cathode  2016 . 
     Specifically, for the first color sub-light source  2011 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a first color light; for the second color sub-light source  2012 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a second color light; for the third color sub-light source  2013 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a third color light. The first color, the second color and the third color are different. 
     Furthermore, for each sub-light source, in addition to the light emitting layer configured for emitting the light of the corresponding color, the sub-light source may further include an electron transporting layer and a hole transporting layer. For further improving the efficiency of injecting electrons and holes into the light emitting layer, the sub-light source may still further include an electron injecting layer arranged between the cathode and the electron transporting layer and a hole injecting layer arranged between the anode and the hole transporting layer. 
     Each pixel cell  101  of the lower substrate  102  includes the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode and a common electrode, but does not include a color filter layer. The thin film transistor includes a gate, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor active layer, a source and a drain, and the drain is connected to the pixel electrode. Of course, the lower substrate  102  further includes a gate line connected to the gate and a data line connected to the source. 
     It should be noted that, firstly, the first color, the second color and the third color may be red, green and blue, respectively, but the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto, and they may also be other three primary colors, for example cyan, magenta and yellow. 
     Secondly, materials and positions of the anode  2014  and the cathode  2016  in each sub-light source are not limited as long as it can be ensured that the light emitted by each sub-light source towards the lower substrate  102 . 
     Thirdly, each group of trichromatic light sources  201  may correspond to multiple pixel cells  101  in the embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Based on the above, in order to make the field-sequential display panel display normally, that is, each pixel cell  101  is capable of receiving the light of the first color, the light of the second color and the light of the third color, a certain distance (i.e. the thickness of the substrate  50 ) exists between the OLED light source  20  and the pixel cells  101 . The thickness of the substrate  50  and how many pixel cells  101  the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to are not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure, so that the light emitted by each sub-light source can be received by each pixel cell  101  of the lower substrate  102 , and the light of the corresponding color which meets the brightness requirement can be emitted by the pixel cell  101  in different fields of a frame by controlling the deflection of the liquid crystal. 
     With the field-sequential display panel according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the trichromatic light is provided for the lower substrate  102  by using the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20 , in order to realize color display without the color filter layer. The OLED light source  20  is used as the backlight of the field-sequential display panel according to the embodiment of the disclosure. In one aspect, the switching on and off of each sub-light source may be controlled precisely, with higher flexibility, and the brightness values of the trichromatic light may be controlled precisely, providing the field-sequential display panel with better display effect; in another aspect, drawbacks of an LED lamp used as the backlight in the related art may be avoided, providing the field-sequential display apparatus with better performance. 
     Optionally, the shape of the pixel cells  101  is square, and the thickness of the substrate  50  is less than or equal to 10 times a side length of the pixel cells  101 . Thus, it may ensure that the light emitted by all the monochromatic sub-light sources of the OLED light source  20 , that is, the light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012  or the light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013 , can be mixed uniformly when reaching the pixel cells  101 . 
     Furthermore, any of the groups of trichromatic light sources  201  in the OLED light source  20  corresponds to the pixel cells  101  in a 4×4 array or a 5×5 array. 
     Herein, if the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to less pixel cells  101 , which means that a smaller size of each sub-light source in the OLED light source  20  is needed. If the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to more pixel cells  101 , the distance (i.e. the thickness of the substrate  50 ) between the OLED light source  20  and the pixel cells  101  needs to be increased, in order to make the light reaching the liquid crystal display panel  10  uniform. Therefore, for both the above cases, one group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to the pixel cells  101  in a 4×4 array or a 5×5 array in the embodiment of the disclosure, that is, the size of the OLED light source  20  is controlled within a reasonable range, so as to be suitable for conventional processes and to avoid the field-sequential display panel from being excessively thick. 
     A field-sequential display apparatus is provided according to one embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in  FIGS. 1 b    and  2 , the field-sequential display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display panel  10  and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) light source  20  arranged on one side of the liquid crystal display panel  10  where light is incident, and the OLED light source  20  is configured for providing trichromatic light sources for the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10 . Of course, the field-sequential display apparatus may further include an upper polarizer  30  arranged on the other side of the liquid crystal display panel  10  where the light is emergent and a lower polarizer  40  arranged between the liquid crystal display panel  10  and the OLED light source  20 . 
     The OLED light source  20  may include multiple groups of trichromatic light sources  201 , each of the groups of trichromatic light sources  201  includes the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013 , and each sub-light source includes the anode  2014 , the cathode  2016  and the light emitting layer  2015  between the anode  2014  and the cathode  2016 . 
     Specifically, for the first color sub-light source  2011 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a first color light; for the second color sub-light source  2012 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a second color light; and for the third color sub-light source  2013 , the material of the light emitting layer  2015  is a material emitting a third color light. The first color, the second color and the third color are different. 
     Furthermore, for each sub-light source, in addition to the light emitting layer for emitting the corresponding color light, the sub-light source may further include an electron transporting layer and a hole transporting layer. For further improving the efficiency of injecting electrons and holes into the light emitting layer, the sub-light source may still further include an electron injecting layer arranged between the cathode and the electron transporting layer and a hole injecting layer arranged between the anode and the hole transporting layer. 
     Each pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  includes the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode and a common electrode, but does not include a color filter layer. The thin film transistor includes a gate, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor active layer, a source and a drain, and the drain is connected to the pixel electrode. Of course, the liquid crystal display panel  10  further includes a gate line connected to the gate and a data line connected to the source. 
     Specifically, the thin film transistor and the pixel electrode are arranged on the lower substrate  102  of the liquid crystal display panel  10 , and the lower substrate  102  is arranged close to the lower polarizer  40 . The common electrode may be arranged on the lower substrate  102  or may also be arranged on the upper substrate  103 . The upper substrate  103  is arranged close to the upper polarizer  30 , and the liquid crystal layer  104  is arranged between the upper substrate  103  and the lower substrate  102 . 
     When the pixel electrode and the common electrode are arranged on the lower substrate  102 , for an in-plane switch (abbreviated as IPS) lower substrate, the pixel electrode and the common electrode are arranged spaced apart in the same layer, and both are stripe-shaped electrodes; for an advanced-super dimensional switching (abbreviated as ADS) lower substrate, the pixel electrode and the common electrode are arranged in different layers, the electrode on the upper layer is a stripe-shaped electrode, and the electrode on the lower layer is a plate-shaped electrode. Based on the above, the upper substrate includes a black matrix. 
     It should be noted that, firstly, the first color, the second color and the third color may be red, green and blue, respectively, but the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto, and they may also be other three primary colors, for example cyan, magenta and yellow. 
     Secondly, materials and positions of the anode  2014  and the cathode  2016  in each sub-light source are not limited as long as it can be ensured that the light emitted by each sub-light source towards the liquid crystal display panel  10 . 
     Thirdly, each group of trichromatic light sources  201  may correspond to multiple pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  in the embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Based on the above, in order to make the field-sequential display panel display normally, that is, each pixel cell  101  is capable of receiving the light of the first color, the light of the second color and the light of the third color, a certain distance exists between the OLED light source  20  and the liquid crystal display panel  10 . The distance between the OLED light source  20  and the liquid crystal display panel  10  and how many pixel cells  101  the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to are not limited in the embodiment of the disclosure, so that the light emitted by each sub-light source can be received by each pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10 , and the light of the corresponding color which meets the brightness requirement can be emitted by the pixel cell  101  in different fields of a frame by controlling the deflection of the liquid crystal. 
     With the field-sequential display apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the trichromatic light is provided for the liquid crystal display panel  10  by using the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20 , in order to make the liquid crystal display panel  10  realize color display without the color filter layer. The OLED light source  20  is used as the backlight of the liquid crystal display panel  10  according to the embodiment of the disclosure. In one aspect, the switching on and off of each sub-light source may be controlled precisely, with higher flexibility, and brightness values of the trichromatic light may be controlled precisely, providing the liquid crystal display panel  10  with better display effect; in another aspect, drawbacks of an LED lamp used as the backlight in the related art may be avoided, providing the field-sequential display apparatus with better performance. 
     Optionally, the shape of the pixel cells  101  in the liquid crystal display panel  10  is square, and the distance between the liquid crystal display panel  10  and the OLED light source  20  is less than or equal to 10 times a side length of the pixel cells  101 . Thus, it may ensure that the light emitted by all the monochromatic sub-light sources of the OLED light source  20 , that is, the light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012  or the light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013 , can be mixed uniformly when reaching the liquid crystal display panel  10 . 
     Furthermore, any of the groups of trichromatic light sources  201  in the OLED light source  20  corresponds to the pixel cells  101  in a 4×4 array or a 5×5 array of the liquid crystal display panel  10 . 
     Herein, if the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to less pixel cells  101 , which means that a smaller size of each sub-light source in the OLED light source  20  is needed. If the group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to more pixel cells  101 , the distance between the liquid crystal display panel  10  and the OLED light source  20  needs to be increased, in order to make the light reaching the liquid crystal display panel  10  uniform. Therefore, for both the above cases, one group of trichromatic light sources  201  corresponds to the pixel cells  101  in a 4×4 array or a 5×5 array in the embodiment of the disclosure, that is, the size of the OLED light source  20  can be controlled within a reasonable range, so as to be suitable for conventional processes and to avoid the field-sequential display apparatus from being excessively thick. 
     Optionally, the OLED light source  20  is an active matrix type display panel, that is, each sub-light source of the OLED light source  20  includes the thin film transistor. 
     Furthermore, it is considered that materials emitting the red light, the green light and the blue light in the OLED light source  20  are easy to be prepared, and are applied widely at present. Therefore, the first color, the second color and the third color according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be red (R), green (G) and blue (B), respectively, that is, the light emitting layer  2015  in the first color sub-light source  2011  is a red light emitting layer, the light emitting layer  2015  in the second color sub-light source  2012  is a green light emitting layer and the light emitting layer  2015  in the third color sub-light source  2013  is a blue light emitting layer. 
     Based on the above, optionally, the OLED light source  20  is an OLED display panel, the group of trichromatic light sources  201  is a pixel cell of the OLED display panel, that is, since the pixel cell of the OLED display panel may include three sub-pixels, the pixel cell of the OLED display panel may be used as the group of trichromatic light sources  201  by controlling the light emitting color of each sub-pixel. 
     Based on the above, optionally, as shown in  FIG. 1 b   , the OLED light source  20  and the lower polarizer  40  are connected via an optical clear resin (OCR) adhesive  60 , that is, the OLED light source  20  and the liquid crystal display panel  10  are fixed via the OCR adhesive  60  to form the field-sequential display apparatus. The used OCR adhesive  60  can avoid affecting light transmission. 
     Unless otherwise specifically defined in the following, it is illustrated in a case that the red light is emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the green light is emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012  and the blue light is emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013 . 
     A driving method for the field-sequential display panel/apparatus is provided according to one embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in  FIG. 3 , the driving method includes the following steps S 101  to S 102 . 
     In step S 101 , as shown in  FIG. 4 , the first color sub-light source  2011  in the OLED light source  20  is driven to emit light in a 1st field of each frame, the second color sub-light source  2012  is driven to emit light in a 2nd field, and the third color sub-light source is driven to emit light in a 3rd field. 
     Here, as those skilled in the art should appreciate, for the field-sequential display apparatus, the color value of any pixel cell  101  in the liquid crystal display panel  10  displayed in each frame is obtained based on the trichromatic (red, green and blue) light of the corresponding brightness values respectively displayed in the three fields of each frame, and the trichromatic light is provided by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013 . 
     In step S 102 , the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are driven to deflect in each field, so that the pixel cells  101  have target trichromatic brightness values in each frame. 
     Since the target color values of any pixel cell  101  displayed in each frame correspond to a special brightness value of the red light, a special brightness value of the green light and a special brightness value of the blue light (that is, target brightness values of the red light, the green light and the blue light), the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101 , that is, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field, may be obtained based on the brightness value of the red light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011  in the 1st field and the target brightness value of the red light, and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field may be obtained based on the light transmittance and specification of the liquid crystal. 
     Similarly, the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101 , that is, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 2nd field, may be obtained based on the brightness value of the green light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012  in the 2nd field and the target brightness value of the green light, and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 2nd field may be obtained based on the light transmittance and specification of the liquid crystal. The light transmittance of the pixel cell  101 , that is, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 3rd field, may be obtained based on the brightness value of the blue light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013  in the 3rd field and the target brightness value of the blue light, and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal in the pixel cell  101  in the 3rd field may be obtained based on the light transmittance and specification of the liquid crystal. 
     Based on the above, the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cells  101  may be driven to deflect an angle in each field by providing the corresponding voltage for the pixel electrode and the common electrode in the liquid crystal display panel  10 . 
     It should be noted that, the brightness value of the light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011  is the maximum brightness value of the red light which can be emitted in the 1st field, the brightness value of the light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012  is the maximum brightness value of green light which can be emitted in the 2nd field, and the brightness value of the light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013  is the maximum brightness value of blue light which can be emitted in the 3rd field. 
     With the driving method for the field-sequential display panel/apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the trichromatic light source is provided for the liquid crystal display panel  10  in the 1st field, the 2st field and the 3st field of each frame by using the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20 , in order to make the liquid crystal display panel  10  realize color display without the color filter layer. The OLED light source  20  is used as the backlight of the liquid crystal display panel  10  according to the embodiment of the disclosure. In one aspect, the switching on and off of each sub-light source may be controlled precisely, with higher flexibility, and brightness values of the trichromatic light may be controlled precisely, providing the liquid crystal display panel  10  with better display effect; in another aspect, drawbacks of an LED lamp used as the backlight in the related art may be avoided, providing the field-sequential display panel/apparatus with better performance. 
     In an example 1, a frame rate is 60 Hz, and the time duration of each frame may be 1/60 s, that is, 16.67 ms. The time duration of each frame is divided into three fields, and the time duration of each field is 5.56 ms. In the 1st field of the frame as shown in  FIG. 4 , the liquid crystal molecules in each pixel cell  101  are deflected to a first angle and the first color sub-light source  2011  in the OLED light source  20  emits light by progressively scanning the gate line in the liquid crystal display panel  10  by a gate driving circuit and inputting a data voltage to the data line; then the 2nd field is entered, the liquid crystal molecules in each pixel cell  101  are deflected to a second angle and the second color sub-light source  2012  in the OLED light source  20  emits light by progressively scanning the gate line in the liquid crystal display panel  10  by the gate driving circuit and inputting a data voltage to the data line; and then the 3rd field is entered, the liquid crystal molecules in each pixel cell  101  are deflected to a third angle and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  emits light by progressively scanning the gate line in the liquid crystal display panel  10  by the gate driving circuit and inputting a data voltage to the data line. 
     The first angle, the second angle and the third angle described above are related to the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101 . The specification of the liquid crystal is different, and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal corresponding to the same light transmittance is also different. When the specification of the liquid crystal is determined, the correspondence between the light transmittance and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal may be looked up based on the specification of the liquid crystal. 
     It should be noted that, the order of driving the sub-light sources in the OLED light source  20  to emit light and driving the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  to deflect in each field is not limited according to the embodiment of the disclosure. Additionally, the first angle of deflection of the liquid crystal molecules in each pixel cell  101  is different depending on different target brightness values of each pixel cell  101  in the 1st field. Similarly, the second angle of deflection of the liquid crystal molecules in each pixel cell  101  is different in the 2nd field, and the third angle of deflection of the liquid crystal in each pixel cell  101  is different in the 3rd field. 
     Optionally, the time durations of the 1st field, the 2nd field and the 3rd field are the same. Therefore, the trichromatic light provided by the OLED light source  20  which may be used as the backlight is distributed more uniformly. 
     Another driving method for the field-sequential display panel/apparatus is further provided according to one embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in  FIG. 5 , the driving method includes the following steps S 201  and S 202 . 
     In step S 201 , as shown in  FIG. 6 , the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  are driven to emit light in a Rmax:G0:B0 ratio in the 1st field of each frame; the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  are driven to emit light in a R0:Gmax:B0 ratio in the 2nd field; and the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  are driven to emit light in a R0:G0:Bmax ratio in the 3rd field. 
     Rmax and R0, Gmax and G0, and Bmax and B0 are respectively the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012 , and the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013  in per frame of display pictures. That is, in each filed, light is emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  of the OLED light source  20  in a certain ratio of brightness. Based on the above, as those skilled in the art should appreciate, the color value of any pixel cell  101  in the liquid crystal display panel  10  displayed in each frame is obtained based on the trichromatic light of the corresponding brightness value in each frame, and the trichromatic light of the corresponding brightness value in each frame is obtained by superimposing the three fields. 
     In step S 202 , the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are driven to deflect in each field, so that the pixel cells  101  have target trichromatic brightness values in each frame. 
     Specifically, since there is a one-to-one correspondence between the color value and the trichromatic brightness value, such as the red light brightness value, the green light brightness value and the blue light brightness value, the corresponding color value may be known by looking up a color value table after the red light brightness value, the green light brightness value and the blue light brightness value of one pixel cell  101  in each frame are known. 
     The target trichromatic brightness values of any pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  in each frame are obtained by the following equation:

     t1, t2 and t3 represent respectively the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field, the 2nd field and the 3rd field, and R1, G1 and B1 represent respectively the target trichromatic brightness values of the pixel cell in each frame. 
     That is, after the target trichromatic brightness values are known, the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field, the 2nd field and the 3rd field may be calculated based on Rmax and R0, Gmax and G0, and Bmax and B0. On the basis of this, the deflection angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field, the 2nd field and the 3rd field may be obtained based on the specification of the liquid crystal. 
     In the embodiment of the disclosure, the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the first color sub-light source  2011 , the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the second color sub-light source  2012 , and the maximum brightness value and the minimum brightness value of the light emitted by the third color sub-light source  2013  in per frame of display pictures are collected and used as the emitting intensities of the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  of the OLED light source  20  in each field of the frame. Therefore, the brightness of the light emitted by each sub-light source in the OLED light source  20  may be dynamically adjusted depending on a picture to be displayed by the liquid crystal display panel  10 , making power consumption even lower. Additionally, compared with one embodiment where light is emitted by the sub-light source with only one color in the OLED light source  20  in each field of each frame, the overall display brightness may be improved according to the embodiment of the disclosure. 
     With reference to chromaticity coordinates formulated by the Commission Internationale de I&#39;Eclairage (CIE) shown in  FIG. 7 , a triangular region formed by R′, G′, and B′ is a maximum range of color gamut to be displayed by the liquid crystal display panel  10 , but when a picture per frame is displayed, the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the colors of the light emitted by not all the pixel cell  101  can cover the maximum range of color gamut described above, but only a small proportion of range of color gamut is covered, such as a triangular region formed by r′, g′, and b′ as shown in  FIG. 7 . Based on the above, it is unnecessary for the OLED light source  20  used as the backlight to provide the trichromatic brightness which is needed by the maximum range of color gamut, but only it is necessary for the OLED light source  20  to provide the trichromatic brightness which is needed by a smaller range of color gamut according to the smaller range of color gamut corresponding to a picture which needs to be displayed in the frame. 
     Where r′ corresponds to (Rmax, G0, B0), g′ corresponds to (R0, Gmax, B0), and b′ corresponds to (R0, G0, Bmax). The correspondence between coordinates x and y of r′ and Rmax, G0 and B0 is described as follows:
 
 X   1 =2.7689 R   max +1.7517 G   0 +1.1302 B   0   ,Y   1 =1.0000 R   max +5.5907 G   0 +0.0601 B   0 ,
 
 Z   1 =0 R   max +0.0565 G   0 +5.5943 B   0   ,x   1   =X   1 /( X   1   +Y   1   +Z   1 ), y   1   =Y   1 /( X   1   +Y   1   +Z   1 ).
 
     Similarly, the above correspondences between coordinates of g′ and R0, Gmax and B0 and between coordinates of b′ and R0, G0 and Bmax also exist, which are not repeated any more. 
     Based on the above, optionally, the time durations of the 1st field, the 2nd field and the 3rd field are the same. Therefore, the trichromatic light provided by the OLED light source  20  which may be used as the backlight is distributed more uniformly. 
     Based on the above, a driving method in a special case is provided according to one embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in  FIG. 8 , the driving method includes the following steps S 301  to S 303 . 
     In step  301 , before each frame is processed, it is determined whether chromaticity coordinates corresponding to colors of the light emitted by all the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are around a fitted straight line. If the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the colors of the light emitted by all the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are around the fitted straight line, step S 302  is performed, otherwise, the above steps S 201  to S 202  are performed. 
     In step S 302 , as shown in  FIG. 9 , the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  are driven to emit light in a RM:GM:BM ratio in the 1st field of each frame, and the first color sub-light source  2011 , the second color sub-light source  2012  and the third color sub-light source  2013  in the OLED light source  20  are driven to emit light in a RN:GN:BN ratio in the 2nd field, where
 
 X   1 =2.7689 R   M +1.7517 G   M +1.1302 B   M ,
 
 Y   1 =1.0000 R   M +5.5907 G   M +0.0601 B   M   ,Z   1 =0 R   M +0.0565 G   M +5.5943 B   M ,
 
 x   1   =X   1 /( X   1   +Y   1   +Z   1 ), y   1   =Y   1 /( X   1   +Y   1   +Z   1 );
 
 X   2 =2.7689 R   N +1.7517 G   N +1.1302 B   N ,
 
 Y   2 =1.0000 R   N +5.5907 G   N +0.0601 B   N   ,Z   2 =0 R   N +0.0565 G   N +5.5943 B   N ,
 
 x   2   =X   2 /( X   2   +Y   2   +Z   2 ), y   2   =Y   2 /( X   2   +Y   2   +Z   2 )
 
     Where x1 and y1, and x2 and y2 represent respectively the maximum coordinates and the minimum coordinates of the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the colors of the light emitted by all the pixel cells of the liquid crystal display panel  10  in each frame. 
     That is, referring to  FIG. 10 , if it is determined that the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the colors of the light emitted by all the pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are around a straight line connecting two points M and N, (RM, GM, BM) corresponding to the M point and (RN, GN, BN) corresponding to the N point may be obtained based on coordinates (x1, y1) of the M point and coordinates (x2, y2) of the N point. 
     In step  303 , the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are driven to deflect in each field, so that the pixel cells  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  have target trichromatic brightness values in each frame. 
     The target trichromatic brightness values of any pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  in each frame may be obtained by the following equation:

     where t1 and t2 represent respectively the light transmittance of the pixel cells  101  in the 1st field and the 2nd field, and R1, G1 and B1 represent respectively the target trichromatic brightness values of the pixel cell  101  in each frame. 
     That is, the light transmittance of the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field and the 2nd field may be calculated based on RM and RN, GM and GN, and BM and BN. On the basis of this, the deflection angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the pixel cell  101  in the 1st field and the 2nd field may be obtained based on the specification of the liquid crystal. 
     In the embodiment of the disclosure, before each frame is processed, if it is determined that the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the colors of the light emitted by all the pixel cell  101  of the liquid crystal display panel  10  are around a fitted straight line, one frame may be divided into two fields, thereby reducing requirements for the response time of the liquid crystal. 
     Optionally, the time durations of the 1st field and the 2nd field are the same. Therefore, the trichromatic light provided by the OLED light source  20  which may be used as the backlight may be distributed more uniformly. 
     The above-described description is merely particular embodiments of the disclosure, but the scope of protection of the disclosure is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical scope of the disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of the disclosure should be defined by the scope of protection of the appended claims.
