Description

The source electrode drive circuit of LCD and driving method
Technical field
(liquid crystal display, LCD) technology are a kind of source electrode drive circuit (source driver circuit) and driving method of LCD concretely to the present invention relates to LCD.
Background technology
Figure 1A is the framework calcspar of an available liquid crystal display.With reference to Figure 1A, LCD 100 comprises a LCD panel (panel) 110, one source pole driving circuit 120, a grid (gate) driving circuit 130, time schedule controller (timing controller) 140 and one gamma adjustment (gamma adjustment) circuit 150.LCD panel 110 is to be interwoven by crisscross data line 121 and sweep trace 131 in order to show image.Wherein, a thin film transistor (TFT) (thin film transistor) 111 and one storage capacitors (capacitor) 112 all is set near the point of crossing of each data line 121 and sweep trace 131.Storage capacitors 112 is made up of pixel electrode (pixel electrode) 112a, common electrode (common electrode) 112b and liquid crystal layer 112c.The grid of thin film transistor (TFT) 111 is connected to sweep trace 131, and source electrode is connected to data line 121, and drain electrode is connected to the pixel electrode 112a of storage capacitors 112.Gamma is adjusted circuit 150 and applies at least one reference voltage to source electrode drive circuit 120, and time schedule controller 140 produces different control signals and controls voltage to source electrode drive circuit 120 and gate driver circuit 130.
If liquid crystal material is continued to impose a direct current voltage, liquid crystal material can be undermined.In the industry cycle, be that anti-kind situation here takes place, the polarity of the data-signal that is added in liquid crystal layer 112c of generally can periodically reversing is called AC driving (AC driving).
Figure 1B is the framework calcspar of an existing source electrode drive circuit.With reference to Figure 1B, source electrode drive circuit 120 is made up of many groups source electrode driver 160, each group source electrode driver comprise two data impact dampers 161,161 ', on the occasion of digital analog converter 162, a negative value digital analog converter 163, on the occasion of amplifier 164, a negative value amplifier 165 and four switch modules 166 that switch SW 1~SW4 is constituted.Based on the reason of above-mentioned AC driving, source electrode driver 160 receives two-digit signal of video signal D1, D2 respectively, simultaneously, receives from gamma and adjusts one group of positive analog voltage signal V that circuit 150 is sent Ref1With one group of negative analog voltage signal V Ref2After this two-digit signal of video signal D1, D2 carried out digital-to-analogue conversion and amplify, by controlling four switch SW 1~SW4, promptly alternately just simulating a signal of video signal and a negative analog signal of video signal from driver output end S1, S2 output one every a Preset Time.Four switch SW 1~SW4 are by control signal CS_SW control, and control signal CS_SW comprises first switch controlling signal, second switch control signal, the 3rd switch controlling signal, comes gauge tap SW1~SW4 respectively with the 4th switch controlling signal.Method as for control signal CS_SW gauge tap SW1~SW4 is prior art, no longer repeat specification.
LCD has the problem of image residue (afterimage) when showing animation (motion picture), this is because the reaction velocity of liquid crystal material is slow, the reaction time is long.When the object fast moving in the picture, in the process of a picture of scanning, the track that liquid crystal material can't the real-time tracing object.Opposite, liquid crystal material produced is the accumulation reaction of sweep time of several pictures.Because the specific properties of liquid crystal material, for solving its image residue problem, existing considerable research report is suggested, mainly contain following three solution party to.(1) inwardness (intrinsic property): liquid crystal essence is changed into low stickiness (low viscosity), (2) strengthen and to reverse voltage (over driving): liquid crystal is reversed faster and reply, (3) insert complete black picture (blackinsertion, hereinafter to be referred as black plug): after each image frame has shown, before next image frame shows, insert a complete black picture.
Fig. 2 A is presented in the available liquid crystal display, and each scanning-line signal is fed into the sequential chart of each sweep trace in regular turn.In the 6th, 473, No. 077 patent documentation of the U.S., IBM Corporation utilizes the notion of black plug to propose a kind of LCD, and Fig. 2 B is fed into each sweep signal the sequential chart of each sweep trace in regular turn for its gate driver circuit 130.In addition, based on identical black plug notion, in the 6th, 819, No. 311 patent documentations of the U.S., NEC Corporation also discloses a kind of LCD of suitable demonstration animation, and Fig. 2 C is fed into each sweep signal the sequential chart of each sweep trace in regular turn for its gate driver circuit 130.
Can find with reference to figure 2A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, has only a pulse TG at the grid control signal of every sweep trace of Fig. 2 A sweep time at each picture, and in Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, the grid control signal of every sweep trace but has two pulse T1 and T2 sweep time at each picture.
Comparison diagram 2A, Fig. 2 B, Fig. 2 C, the time that the demonstration LCD among Fig. 2 B will scan an image frame originally is divided into 2 half, and half still is used for the image output data, and second half then is used for the complete black picture of output.And Fig. 2 C shows that gate driver circuit 130 is under the prerequisite of a fixed number sweep trace of being separated by, and scanning the mode that promptly scans a complete black pixel line behind the image pixel line (pixel line), interlacing, is presented on the display.Identical is, the pulse width of sweep signal on the sweep trace 131 (impulse width) is kept to TG/2 by TG originally equally, just the sweep frequency of gate driver circuit 103 increases to two times, that is the time of grid action is reduced to 1/2, simultaneously, also to need to cooperate the sweep velocity of gate driver circuit 130 to accelerate be two times to the data-driven speed of source electrode drive circuit 120.
Though, the framework of NEC and IBM has solved the problem of image residue, but in order to implement black insertion technology, not only source electrode drive circuit must produce image data and full black data in turn, that is, no matter be image data or black plug data, these data produce black plug voltage by digital analog converter in the source electrode drive circuit and amplifier.Simultaneously, because digital analog converter and amplifier must produce black plug voltage and data drive voltage at different time, therefore the sweep frequency of gate driver circuit 130 also must double, make the load of source electrode driver greatly increase, and the reaction velocity of the digital analog converter of source electrode driver also must relative improve.

Below be example with the sequential chart of implementing each sweep trace among 4B, Fig. 4 C, describe operation principles of the present invention and framework in detail.In addition, because source electrode drive circuit of the present invention is made up of many groups of identical source electrode drivers, therefore wherein one group of source electrode driver only is described.
According to the present invention, with reference to figure 2A, Fig. 4 B, in the process of an image frame of scanning, the pulse width T of the sweep signal of original gate driver circuit 130 each sweep trace of feed-in GBe cut into one first triggered time T 1With one second triggered time T 2According to this, data output is divided into two patterns, and data are at the first triggered time T 1What export is normal mode, and at the second triggered time T 2What export is the black plug pattern.
With reference to figure 4A, in the first embodiment of the present invention, each group source electrode driver 410 is provided with two data impact dampers 161,161 ', on the occasion of digital analog converter 162, a negative value digital analog converter 163, switch module 166, one first black plug unit 413 and one second the black plug unit 414 that constitutes on the occasion of amplifier 164, a negative value amplifier 165, by four switch SW 1~SW4.On the occasion of the digital image signal D of digital analog converter 162 according to reception N-1, from one group of positive analog voltage signal V Ref1In select corresponding one to be output as and just to simulate signal of video signal.Output one first amplifying signal after 164 in amplifier receives and amplifies this just to simulate signal of video signal.Negative value digital analog converter 163 is according to the digital image signal D that receives n, from one group of negative analog voltage signal V Ref2In select corresponding one to be output as the negative analog signal of video signal, 164 in negative value amplifier receives and amplifies output one second amplifying signal behind this negative analog signal of video signal.

Black plug unit 413,414 receives one first black plug voltage V simultaneously GP1With one second black plug voltage V GN1 Black plug unit 413 comprises two switch SW 5, SW6, and switch SW 5, SW6 receive the first black plug voltage V respectively GP1With the second black plug voltage V GN1, and controlled by the 5th switch controlling signal and the 6th switch controlling signal respectively, when the black plug pattern, incite somebody to action a wherein switch conduction, make the first black plug voltage V GP1Or the second black plug voltage V GN1Export driver output end S to N-1, produce first drive signal.Black plug unit 414 comprises two switch SW 7, SW8, and switch SW 7, SW8 receive the first black plug voltage V respectively GP1With the second black plug voltage V GN1, and controlled by minion pass control signal and octavo pass control signal respectively, when the black plug pattern, incite somebody to action a wherein switch conduction, make the first black plug voltage V GP1Or the second black plug voltage V GN1Export driver output end S to n, produce second drive signal.
Undermined for preventing liquid crystal material, the polarity of the data-signal that is added in liquid crystal layer 112c of must periodically reversing, therefore, every a Preset Time, source electrode driver 410 must alternately carry out reversal of poles with the data-signal that exports data line 121 to.According to this, four switch SW 1~SW4 can optionally open circuit (OFF) or conducting (ON).Shown in Fig. 4 B, at first triggered time (normal mode) T 1In, if the polarity of signal of video signal is timing, switch SW 1, SW4 are conducting state, and other switch then is an off state, and positive and negative analog image signal is respectively by driver output end S N-1, S nOutput.Otherwise if the polarity of signal of video signal is when negative, switch SW 2, SW3 are conducting state, and other switch then is an off state, and positive and negative analog image signal is respectively by driver output end S n, S N-1Output.
At second triggered time (black plug pattern) T 2In, if the polarity of black plug voltage is timing, switch SW 5, SW8 are conducting state, other switch then is an off state, the first black plug voltage V GP1With the second black plug voltage V GN1Respectively by driver output end S n, S N-1Output.Otherwise if the polarity of black plug voltage is when negative, switch SW 6, SW7 are conducting state, and other switch then is an off state, the first black plug voltage V GP1With the second black plug voltage V GN1Respectively by driver output end S N-1, S nOutput.
Positive analog voltage signal V Ref1With negative analog voltage signal V Ref2All be one group of bus (bus) signal, and and the first black plug voltage V GP1, the second black plug voltage V GN1The same, adjusting circuit 150 by gamma provides, and voltage swing can directly be set or be adjusted by control chip, to be applicable to various LCD panels.It should be noted that black plug behind the image data displaying is in order to emphasize contrast (contrast), other color also has same effect, just effect have poor.If will use other color to contrast, the first black plug voltage V GP1With the second black plug voltage V GN1Size just must do corresponding adjustment.
Because the present invention directly adjusts circuit by gamma to provide demonstration the complete black required relative voltage of pixel, no longer produces by amplifier, has therefore shortened the second triggered time T 2Time span, make the time T in first triggered time 1Use more flexiblely, and then the timing Design of driving circuit can more be changed.For example the sequential chart among Fig. 4 C in the process of an image frame of scanning, has the second triggered time T of four sweep traces 2Identical.The scan mode of gate driver circuit 130 is in Fig. 4 C, and per four normal modes just add a black plug pattern, simultaneously, the second triggered time T of four sweep traces is arranged simultaneously when the black plug pattern 2Be ON.Therefore, the first triggered time T of the present invention 1Greater than T sweep time among 2B, Fig. 2 C G/ 2.Therefore, compared with prior art, it is long that signal of video signal of the present invention writes time of storage capacitors 112, and the image quality of display panels is preferable.
Another framework calcspar of Fig. 5 black plug unit.With reference to figure 5, black plug unit 513,514 receives one first black plug voltage V simultaneously GP1With one second black plug voltage V GN1 Black plug unit 513 comprises three switch SW 5, SW6, SW9, is electrically connected to driver output end S N-1Switch SW 5, SW6, SW9 are controlled by the 5th switch controlling signal, the 6th switch controlling signal and the 9th switch controlling signal respectively.A switch conduction can only be arranged in the same time among switch SW 5, the SW6.Black plug unit 514 comprises three switch SW 7, SW8, SW10, is electrically connected to driver output end S nThree switch SW 7, SW8, SW10 close control signal, octavo pass control signal and the tenth switch controlling signal by minion respectively and are controlled.A switch conduction can only be arranged in the same time among switch SW 7, the SW8.Wherein, above-mentioned the 5th switch controlling signal, the 6th switch controlling signal, minion pass control signal and octavo pass control signal, the 9th switch controlling signal and the tenth switch controlling signal are also controlled by switch controlling signal CS_SW respectively.Switch SW 5~SW10 all can utilize p NMOS N-channel MOS N (PMOS) transistor or n NMOS N-channel MOS N (NMOS) transistor or transmission grid (transmission gate) to implement.
In the prior art, no matter signal of video signal or black plug voltage all must pass through amplifier 164,165, cause the serious power attenuation of amplifier.The demand that must cooperate the speed of gate driver circuit 130 to double for the data-driven speed of source electrode drive circuit 120 is because the time delay of amplifier 164,165 computings own makes the data-driven speed of source electrode drive circuit 120 that its restriction be arranged.Compared with prior art, black plug voltage V of the present invention GP1, V GN1Must not pass through amplifier 164,165, by switch SW 5, SW6 can be quicker by driver output end S N-1, S nOutput, so, the second triggered time T 2Can be less than the first triggered time T 1At the second triggered time T 2, amplifier 164,165 can temporary close (shutdown) or is prepared to push away next signal of video signal.Therefore, the present invention not only reduces the power consumption of amplifier 164,165, also accelerates the data-driven speed of source electrode drive circuit 120, makes the second triggered time T 2Time shorten, and then increase by the first triggered time T 1, plenty of time writes storage capacitors 112 to make signal of video signal have more, increases the image quality of display panels.
The process flow diagram of Fig. 6 source driving method of the present invention.Below with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 4 B, Fig. 4 C and Fig. 6 source driving method of the present invention is described.

Wherein, the second triggered time T of each gate drive signal 2All asynchronous (for example shown in Fig. 4 B), or the second triggered time T of N gate drive signal can be arranged 2(shown in Fig. 4 C) synchronously.Among two groups of analog voltage signals, one group is positive analog voltage signal V Ref1, one group is negative analog voltage signal V Ref2Similarly, among two black plug voltages, one is positive polarity voltage V GP1, one is reverse voltage V GN1The black plug voltage of above-mentioned two groups of analog voltage signals and two opposed polarities is all adjusted circuit 150 by gamma and is provided.
In step S602, according to one group of positive analog voltage signal V Ref1, with a plurality of digital image signal D N-1Be converted to a plurality of just simulating signal of video signal and amplifications, simultaneously, according to one group of negative analog voltage signal V Ref2, with a plurality of digital image signal D nBe converted to after a plurality of negative analog signal of video signal and the amplification, predetermined according to each liquid crystal layer again polarity is at the first triggered time T 1In export corresponding many data lines 121 simultaneously to.In step S604, according to the predetermined polarity of each liquid crystal layer, at the second triggered time T 2In export two black plug voltages to corresponding many data lines respectively simultaneously.Above running all is with every a Preset Time, must analog image signal and the black plug voltage that export data line to be reversed as the basis.

With reference to figure 7, the source electrode drive circuit 700 of second embodiment is made up of multiple source driver 710, export a drive signal after each source electrode driver 710 receives a digital image signal, and the gate drive signal of each sweep trace has one first triggered time T in each picture scan period 1With one second triggered time T 2, each source electrode driver 710 all comprises a data buffer 161, a digital analog converter 162, an amplifier 164, a switch SW 1 and a black plug unit 413.
Switch SW 1 receives the amplifying signal of being exported by amplifier 164, and at the first triggered time T 1With switch SW 1 conducting, make amplifying signal be output as aforementioned drive signal.Then, at the second triggered time T 2Switch SW 1 is opened circuit, export a black plug voltage as aforementioned drive signal by black plug unit 413.The function of all component that source electrode driver 710 comprises illustrated in the front of instructions all, no longer repeated.
Because the source electrode drive circuit of second embodiment of the invention to the four embodiment all is made up of a plurality of identical source electrode drivers, therefore, below one of them source electrode driver only is described.
