Abstract

A compensating method of image data is provided. The compensating method includes: calculating a polarity accumulation time of a positive polarity and a negative polarity of the image data; and determining whether to compensate a voltage polarity of the image data according to the polarity accumulation time.

Claims (33)

1. A compensating method of image data, comprising:

calculating a polarity accumulation time of a positive polarity and a negative polarity of the image data; and

determining whether to compensate a voltage polarity of the image data according to the polarity accumulation time,

wherein the step of determining whether to compensate the voltage polarity of the image data according to the polarity accumulation time comprising:

when the polarity accumulation time is larger than a first threshold value, compensating the voltage polarity of the image data in a first polarity pattern; and

when the polarity accumulation time is smaller than a second threshold value, compensating the voltage polarity of the image data in a second polarity pattern, wherein the second threshold value is smaller than the first threshold value.

2. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first polarity pattern and the second polarity pattern has time length of odd frames.

3. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 2 , wherein the first polarity pattern comprises at least two frames of the negative polarity.

4. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 2 , wherein the second polarity pattern comprises at least two frames of the positive polarity.

5. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , further comprising:

when the polarity accumulation time is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, stop compensating the voltage polarity of the image data.

6. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , wherein the polarity accumulation time of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data is calculated every even frames before compensation.

7. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , wherein the polarity accumulation time of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data is calculated every odd frames after compensation until the compensation is ended.

8. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , wherein the step of determining whether to compensate the voltage polarity of the image data according to the polarity accumulation time comprising:

when the polarity accumulation time is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value, not compensating the voltage polarity of the image data; and

when the polarity accumulation time is larger than or equal to the second threshold value, not compensating the voltage polarity of the image data.

9. The compensating method of the image data according to claim 1 , wherein the polarity accumulation time indicates a time difference of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data.

10. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel, configured to display images according to image data; and

a driver circuit, coupled to the display panel, and configured to output the image data to drive the display panel to display the images, wherein the driver circuit is further configured to calculate a polarity accumulation time of a positive polarity and a negative polarity of the image data, and determine whether to compensate a voltage polarity of the image data according to the polarity accumulation time, wherein

when the polarity accumulation time is larger than a first threshold value, the driver circuit compensates the voltage polarity of the image data in a first polarity pattern; and

when the polarity accumulation time is smaller than a second threshold value, the driver circuit compensates the voltage polarity of the image data in a second polarity pattern, wherein the second threshold value is smaller than the first threshold value.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein each of the first polarity pattern and the second polarity pattern has time length of odd frames.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first polarity pattern comprises at least two frames of the negative polarity.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the second polarity pattern comprises at least two frames of the positive polarity.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

when the polarity accumulation time is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, the driver circuit stops compensating the voltage polarity of the image data.

15. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the driver circuit calculates the polarity accumulation time of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data every even frames before compensation.

16. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the driver circuit calculates the polarity accumulation time of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data every odd frames after compensation until the compensation is ended.

17. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

when the polarity accumulation time is smaller than or equal to the first threshold value, the driver circuit does not compensate the voltage polarity of the image data; and

when the polarity accumulation time is larger than or equal to the second threshold value, the driver circuit does not compensate the voltage polarity of the image data.

18. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the polarity accumulation time indicates a time difference of the positive polarity and the negative polarity of the image data.
