Figure 12 is the sequential chart that puts on the signal of wiring RST, wiring SMP, common potential wiring 335, sweep trace 201-1, sweep trace 201-2.Also have, check accompanying drawing for convenience, make the scale of longitudinal axis transverse axis unfixing.Sweep trace 201-1, sweep trace 201-2 drive by scan line drive circuit 301, every 16.7 milliseconds of selected 31.2 microseconds.Sweep trace 201-2 is selected after 34.6 microseconds after having selected sweep trace 201-1, below with 34.6 microseconds serve as select at interval sweep trace 201-3,201-4 ....Common potential wiring 335, every 34.6 microseconds noble potential (=5V) with electronegative potential (=anti-phase between 0V), still every 16.7 milliseconds of phase deviation half period.Therefore, anti-phase, the anti-phase driving of so-called 1H shared (common) takes place in the polarity of carrying out putting on common potential wiring 335 when selecting sweep trace 201-n.The RST signal is selected 27.7 microseconds before 32.9 microseconds of selecting sweep trace 201-1.At this moment, the current potential of common potential wiring 335 must be electronegative potential (=0V), all sweep trace 201-1~201-480 can be not selected.The SMP signal be between lowstand in common potential wiring 335, selected 27.7 microseconds after 335 anti-phase constant time lag 3.5 microseconds of connecting up than common potential.The RST signal be conducting during the SMP signal also must be conducting.At this RST signal, SMP signal, sweep trace 201-n noble potential when selecting be+9V, electronegative potential is-4V during in non-selection.
Constitute if so, then wiring RST for high (=+ 9V) timing current potential VVCHG (=2.0V) charge in wiring SENSEn and node SIN.And current potential VVCHG, current potential VVSL, current potential VVSH charge respectively in wiring VDBTn, wiring VSLn, wiring VSH.And because reset transistor NR conducting, so node A and Node B short circuit, in the present embodiment, two contacts are charged as 2.5V.Also have, wiring RST for high (=9V) during the 5th N transistor npn npn N5 conducting and the 5th P transistor npn npn P5 end, so output wiring OUTn is 0V.
If that wiring RST becomes after 27.7 microseconds is low (=-4V), then reset transistor NR is by, node A and the disconnection of Node B electricity, and node A is current potential and the wiring RST 0.5V that descends simultaneously by the coupling of the 2nd capacitor C2, becomes 2.0V.Wiring RST after 27.7 microseconds, become low (=-4V) moment, wiring SENSEn be current potential VVCHG (=2.0V), wiring VSLn be current potential VVSL (=0.0V), wiring VSHn be current potential VVSH (=5.0V).Thereby, applying reverse biased 3.0V in the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit, the shading sensor groups on shading sensor groups to the 4 limits on the 1st limit applies reverse biased 2.0V.And, from output wiring OUTn output potential VVSL.At this moment, the thermocurrent that flows through in the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit becomes with the thermocurrent that flows through in the shading sensor groups on shading sensor groups to the 4 limits on the 1st limit and equates substantially, flow into and shine the photocurrent Iphoto that is directly proportional in the illumination of the outer light of the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit at wiring SENSEn, the current potential of wiring SENSEn is to be proportional to the speed rising of photocurrent Iphoto.Though also flow through electric current, equal approach a little to connect up current potentials of SENSEn at wiring VSHn, wiring VSLn, but becoming height (=9V) timing every 69.2 microseconds wirings SMP, the 2nd switch SW 2 and the 3rd switch SW 3 become conducting, thereby turn back to original current potential, do not change basically.
Also have, the speed that changes of current potential of wiring SENSEn is represented with expression of first degree with the relation of shining in the light quantity of the photosensitive sensor group on n limit, the coefficient of representing its slope is by wiring SENSEn, determine with the summation of the load capacity of the negative electrode of the shading sensor groups on the positive electrode of the photosensitive sensor group on the n limit that is connected in this wiring and n limit, but the coefficient of representing this slope in the present embodiment is in 4 limits, the 1st limit to the and indifference, that is, be adjusted to equal on each limit at the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit capacitance that obtains by " photocurrent Iphoto " ÷ " wiring SENSEn " during for fixing light quantity.
Like this, the wiring RST be low (4V) during, node A becomes floating state, thus by rising simultaneously with the capacitive coupling of the 1st capacitor C1 and node SIN coupling, current potential, when node A and node SIN become 2.5V the current potential of output wiring OUTn anti-phase for high (=5V).
The photosensitive sensor winding on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit in the present embodiment is bordering on viewing area 310 configurations, and positive electrode 615-n, negative electrode 616-n, BT electrode 617-n and common potential wiring 335 intersect.And, have the electric capacity that is connected with the either party of sweep trace 201-n, data line 202-m, electric capacity line 203-n via the shading electrode, because of these electric capacity cause electromagnetic noise easily.Especially common potential wiring 335 is coupled by the electric capacity that can not ignore with wiring SENSEn, and the current potential of wiring SENSEn changes up and down owing to the polarity of common potential wiring 335.With an example with the wiring SENSEn sequential chart be shown in Figure 12.Like this, wiring SENSEn, when common electrode wiring 335 from low (=0V) → high (=carry out when anti-phase 5V) because capacitive coupling and current potential rising Δ V, when from high (=5V) → low (=carry out current potential decline Δ V when anti-phase 0V).But, because node SIN is the timing conducting of conducting at the SMP signal only with wiring SENSEn, so as shown in figure 12, in node SIN, when polarity is anti-phase, do not change in the present embodiment.Thereby, do not produce anti-phase delaying work of causing by common potential wiring 335.
Similarly connect up in the present embodiment VDBTn, wiring VSLn, wiring VSHn (n=1~4) also only the SMP signal be conducting timing respectively with wiring VCHG, wiring VSL, wiring VSH conducting, be to be in floating state in the timing that ends at the SMP signal.Constitute if so, the VDBTn that then connects up, wiring VSLn, wiring VSHn (n=1~4) also change Δ V because of the capacitive coupling current potential approximately when the polarity of common potential wiring 335 is anti-phase.Anti-phase thereby even the polarity of common potential wiring 335 takes place, the bias voltage of shading sensor groups that puts on shading sensor groups to the 4 limits on the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit and the 1st limit does not change yet.Thereby, photocurrent Iphoto that in the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit, flows through and thermocurrent, have nothing to do with the thermocurrent that in the shading sensor groups on shading sensor groups to the 4 limits on the 1st limit, flows through and to fix in the polarity of common potential wiring 335.
So because bigger the taking of Δ V so constitutes, still under the situation of the smaller not enough 1V of Δ V, also can remove the 1st switch SW the 1, the 2nd switch SW the 2, the 4th switch SW 4 at present embodiment.Figure 13 illustrates the circuit diagram under the situation like this as n testing circuit 360 '-n in the testing circuit 360 ' of the other configuration example of testing circuit.In these other embodiment, than n the testing circuit 360-n that is shown in Figure 11, remove the 1st switch SW 1~the 4th switch SW 4, wiring VDBTn and wiring VCHG, wiring VSLn and wiring VSL, wiring VSHn and wiring VSH, wiring SEBSEn and node SIN short circuit respectively.If take so to constitute, then node SIN presents amplitude (the sequential chart that the wiring SEBSEn as Figure 12 of becoming represents) corresponding to the polarity of common potential wiring 335.Therefore, if during whole, carry out testing like this, then when common potential connect up 335 anti-phase for height (=cause 5V) time and delay work.Therefore, remove the 3rd N transistor npn npn N3~5th a N transistor npn npn N5 and the 3rd P transistor npn npn P3~5th a P transistor npn npn P5, the drain electrode that replaces the 2nd N transistor npn npn N2 and the 2nd P transistor npn npn P2 is connected in one of input terminal of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1, the opposing party of the input terminal of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1 is connected in the SMP signal, the lead-out terminal of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1 is connected in a side of the input terminal of the 2nd NAND circuit NAND2, the opposing party of the input terminal of the 2nd NAND circuit NAND2 is connected in the lead-out terminal of the 3rd NAND circuit NAND3, one side of the input terminal of the 3rd NAND circuit NAND3 is connected in the lead-out terminal of the 2nd NAND circuit NAND2, the opposing party of the input terminal of the 3rd NAND circuit NAND3 is connected in the lead-out terminal of negative circuit INV3, the input terminal of negative circuit INV3 is connected in wiring RST.The power supply of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1~the 3rd NAND circuit NAND3 and negative circuit INV3 is connected in wiring VSH and wiring VSL.So the formation of other circuit, the identical additional phase of work with Figure 11 with symbol and omission is described.Constitute if so, then only when the current potential of node SIN be more than the 2.5V and SMP signal when being high, the output of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1 becomes low.The 2nd NAND circuit NAND2 and the 3rd NAND circuit NAND3 become rest-set flip-flop, and the output of the 1st NAND circuit NAND1 becomes the asserts signal of negative polarity, and the output of negative circuit INV3 becomes the reset signal of negative polarity.That is, when the RESET signal become height (=output latch to output wiring OUTn 9V) time is low, the current potential of node SIN be more than the 2.5V and the SMP signal become high initial timing to the output latch of output wiring OUTn for high.Thereby, common potential wiring 335 for high (=5V) during testing result be invalid, do not delay work so can not cause.
Figure 14 is the circuit diagram of majority decision circuit 370.Press the permutation and combination connection for any 2 among the input terminal of the 4th NAND circuit NAND11, the 5th NAND circuit NAND12, the 6th NAND circuit NAND13, the 7th NAND circuit NAND14, the 8th NAND circuit NAND15, the 9th NAND circuit NAND16 will be exported wiring OUT1~OUT4 respectively.The 4th NAND circuit NAND11, the 5th NAND circuit NAND12, the lead-out terminal of the 6th NAND circuit NAND13 is connected in the input terminal of the 10th NAND circuit NAND21, the 7th NAND circuit NAND14, the 8th NAND circuit NAND15, the lead-out terminal of the 9th NAND circuit NAND16 is connected in the input terminal of the 11st NAND circuit NAND22, the 10th NAND circuit NAND21, the lead-out terminal of the 11st NAND circuit NAND22 is connected in the input terminal of the 1st NOR circuit 30, the lead-out terminal of the 1st NOR circuit 30 is connected in the input terminal of negative circuit INV4, and the lead-out terminal of negative circuit INV4 connects to output wiring OUT.The power supply of the 4th NAND circuit NAND11, the 5th NAND circuit NAND12, the 6th NAND circuit NAND13, the 7th NAND circuit NAND14, the 8th NAND circuit NAND15, the 9th NAND circuit NAND16, the 10th NAND circuit NAND21, the 11st NAND circuit NAND22, the 1st NOR circuit 30 is connected in wiring VSH and wiring VSL.This circuit be when among output wiring OUT1~OUT4, any wiring more than 2 become height (=5V) time to output wiring OUT output high (=5V), and when output wiring OUT1~OUT4 all be low (=0V) or only any 1 for high (=export low (=0V) circuit to the output OUT that connects up 5V) time.Constitute if so, then from wiring RST become low (=-4V) be height (the rayed amount on the limit that=5V) time is inversely proportional among the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit, the irradiation flow control of light 2 is big to output wiring OUT is anti-phase.In the present embodiment, carry so majority decision circuit 370, the result who remove among the luminance detection result on each limit, illumination is the highest prevents thus when there is some light (spot light) time than external environment light intensity to delay work in this limit irradiation.And, because the minimum result of illumination, and illumination the 2nd low result also be removed, so even 2 limits also can obtain correct result among for example the shade of finger etc. came across 4 limits.
Figure 15 be in the present embodiment based on from the detection illumination of the exterior light of the output of output wiring OUT and the setting example of back light source brightness.Externally illumination extremely low during be set at: back light source brightness is changed lentamente, make gradually to change and when accelerating externally illumination 500 luxs brightness is changed to become maximum, and then the S word curve that changes lentamente, and more than 1500 luxs, be set at and keep high-high brightness.This curve both can freely be set corresponding to the characteristic of electronic equipment, also can make it to change lentamente with the mean value during certain for the flicker that prevents brightness, also can make the relation of brightness and illumination have hysteresis quality.And, in the time of also can be corresponding to standby during with operation etc. the mode of operation of electronic equipment etc. curve is changed.
Like this, although make sensitization peristome and viewing area very approaching in the present embodiment, even but adopt the precision height that shared anti-phase driving does not delay work yet, light detects, so can always display device be set at best brightness, visual raising also helps to consume the electric power reduction.And, even cover 1 limit~2 limits or some illumination in 1 place, also external surround lighting is correctly measured with finger, back light source brightness always is maintained the best.
The 2nd embodiment
Figure 16 be a sensor in conduct the 1st marginal ray sensor groups among the 2nd embodiment n the 1st marginal ray sensor 351-n overlook enlarged drawing, be figure corresponding to Fig. 8 of the 1st embodiment.Legend and Fig. 5 are same.Below, be that the center describes to Figure 16 with difference with Fig. 8.
Different with Fig. 8 in Figure 16, sweep trace 201-n overlooks the wiring formation that is formed by aluminium neodymium alloy film (AlNd) by contact hole in the overlapping areas with shading electrode 611-n, the wiring 618-n of common potential branch that formation is made of molybdenum film (Mo) between sweep trace 201-n and shading electrode 611-n.Common potential branch wiring 618-n and common potential connect up and 335 are connected by contact hole, are supplied to common potential (COM).In other respects, it is different that Figure 16 and Fig. 8 there is no, thus additional phase with symbol and omission is described.
Figure 17 be a sensor in conduct the 2nd marginal ray sensor groups of the 2nd embodiment n the 2nd marginal ray sensor 352-n overlook enlarged drawing, be figure corresponding to Figure 10 of the 1st embodiment.Legend and Fig. 5 are same.Below, be that the center describes to Figure 17 with difference with Figure 10.
Different with Figure 10 in Figure 17, overlook the wiring 628-n of common potential branch that forms between overlapping areas by molybdenum film (Mo) formation at data line 202-n and shading electrode 621-n.Common potential branch wiring 628-n and common potential connect up and 335 are connected by contact hole, are supplied to common potential (COM).In other respects, it is different that Figure 17 and Figure 10 there is no, thus additional phase with symbol and omission is described.
Active-matrix substrate 101 in the present embodiment, the formation of liquid crystal indicator 910 are identical with the 1st embodiment, and the setting of the formation of electronic equipment, outer illuminance and brightness etc. are also identical with the 1st embodiment, so explanation is omitted.
Compare with the 1st embodiment in the present embodiment, overlook in the overlapping part, reach and overlook in the overlapping part at sweep trace 201-n and shading electrode 611-n at data line 202-n and shading electrode 621-n, disposing common potential branch wiring 618-n, the 628-n that is connected in common potential wiring 335 between sweep trace 201-n and the shading electrode 611-n and between data line 202-n and the shading electrode 621-n respectively, so do not have direct cross capacitance.Therefore, even when variation has taken place in the current potential of sweep trace 201-n, data line 202-n, promptly, be scanned timing that line drive circuit 301 selects at sweep trace 201-n, undertaken writing fashionable at data line 202-n by data line drive circuit 302 or 303 pairs of different current potentials of pre-charge circuit (image), the current potential of shading electrode 611-n and shading electrode 621-n also is difficult to change.When the current potential of shading electrode 611-n and shading electrode 621-n changed, the current potential of wiring SENSE1, wiring SENSE2 was also because of the capacitive coupling change, so present embodiment than the 1st embodiment, can carry out the higher illumination photometry of precision.And, be connected in common potential wiring 335 by the wiring that is used to shield that will be sandwiched in therebetween, the power supply of shielding usefulness needn't newly be set.Common potential wiring 335 is in order to keep picture element originally with the Low ESR configuration, so extremely effective when using as screen potential.Because of so there is the noise that becomes the shading electrode in common potential wiring 335 by anti-phase driving, but, carry out described same driving in the present embodiment, so thereby can not cause that potential change causes precision to reduce because of capacitive coupling with the common potential wiring with the 1st embodiment.On the other hand, in the present embodiment, because the electric capacity of common potential wiring 335 increases, so the problem of existence consumption electric power increase etc.The formation of selecting the 1st embodiment on earth still is the formation of the 2nd embodiment, can be on the basis of the relative merits more than having considered as one feels fit selects according to use of electronic equipment etc.
Also have, though only taked measure in the present embodiment, also can take same measure to n the 3rd marginal ray sensor 353-n, n the 4th marginal ray sensor 354-n as required about the shading electrode that is overlapped in n the 1st marginal ray sensor 351-n, n the 2nd marginal ray sensor 352-n.

Next, Figure 22 is the sequential chart of present embodiment.For the ease of watching accompanying drawing, the scale of longitudinal axis transverse axis is unfixing.About common potential wiring 335, sweep trace 201-1, sweep trace 201-2, wiring RST, with in the 1st embodiment by illustrated identical of Figure 12, so explanation is omitted.Wiring SMP1 is when common potential wiring 335 is that low (=selected 13.8 microseconds 0V) time, the cycle is 69.2 microseconds.Wiring SMP2 similarly when common potential wiring 335 when low, continue in connecting up SMP1 and selected 13.8 microseconds.Wiring SMP1, wiring SMP2 are that current potential is Gao Shiwei+9V but not is the signal of-4V when current potential is low when selecting when selecting.
Forming circuit if so, then common potential wiring 335 be low (=0V) during, selective interconnection SMP1 at first, wiring SENSED is connected with node SIN ', while node A ' and Node B ' pass through reset transistor NR ' short circuit, be charged as 2.5V.Therebetween to the output of output wiring OUT must for low (=0V).Then after 13.8 microseconds, it is selected that wiring SMP1 becomes the non-selection SMP2 that connects up simultaneously, and wiring SENSEP is connected node A ' and Node B with node SIN ' ' the electric separation, the current potential of node A ' is reduced to 2.0V by the 4th capacitor C4 simultaneously.After this, the current potential of node SIN ' changes towards wiring SENSEP from the current potential of wiring SENSED by the 5th switch SW 5, and also changes because of the current potential of capacitive coupling node A '.That is, before wiring SMP2 will become non-selection, the current potential of node A ' became " 2.0V "+" current potential of wiring SENSEP "-" current potential of wiring SENSED ", and then testing circuit 361 is high to output wiring OUT output if it surpasses 2.5V.The current potential of wiring SENSED changes with the slope that is directly proportional with the thermocurrent that flows through in the shading sensor groups on shading sensor groups to the 4 limits on the 1st limit, the current potential of wiring SENSEP with the photosensitive sensor group on photosensitive sensor group to the 4 limits on the 1st limit in the slope that " thermocurrent "+" photocurrent Iphoto " is directly proportional that flows through change, so the potential difference (PD) of wiring SENSEP and wiring SENSED changes with the slope that is proportional to photocurrent Iphoto.Thus, with the 1st embodiment in the same manner, from wiring RST become non-selection begin till output wiring OUT becomes height at first time with outside the inverse of illuminance be directly proportional.
Next common potential connect up 335 anti-phase for high (=5V) before, wiring SMP1, wiring SMP2 become non-selection together, common potential wiring 335 be height (=5V) during not selected.Shown in the sequential chart of Figure 12, if common potential connect up 335 anti-phase for high (=5V), the SENSED that then connects up, wiring SENSEP are because of the capacitive coupling current potential 5V that rises approximately.But, equally as shown in figure 12, because in the 5th switch SW 5 and 6 shutoffs of the 6th switch SW during this period, so the current potential of node SIN ' is unaffected.Thereby, can not be subjected to the anti-phase influence ground of common potential wiring 335 to carry out high-precision test equally with the 1st embodiment.
The formation of the testing circuit 361 of present embodiment is than the formation of the testing circuit 360 of the 1st embodiment, short during existing node A in the circuit to become to float, the advantage of noise resistance relatively.On the other hand, be subject to the influence of the switching noise of the 5th switch SW 5 and the 6th switch SW 6, the situation of deterioration in accuracy may occur.Can consider as one sees fit that as for taking which kind of formation on earth both advantages select.No matter in which kind of constitutes importantly the common potential (COM) of the timing that finishes the work that resets (turning back to low) if then be meant the current potential of wiring RST with embodiment, with carry out at testing circuit 361 work (if being meant then that with embodiment connect up SMP, SMP1, SMP2 become height) during common potential (COM) consistent, so long as become the circuit of formation like this, then testing circuit 360 can constitute with the known all circuit except that illustrational in this manual circuit.
The liquid crystal indicator 910 of liquid crystal indicator in the present embodiment and the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 1 except active-matrix substrate 101 is changed into there is no the active-matrix substrate 102 different, so explanation is omitted.And the setting of the formation of electronic equipment, outer illuminance and brightness etc. are also identical with the 1st embodiment, so explanation is omitted.
The power supply that is connected in optical sensor in the present embodiment uses the common potential (COM) of common potential wiring 335.Because shading electrode, transparency electrode also are connected in common potential wiring 335 in the present embodiment, so optical sensor is connected in the common potential (COM) of common potential wiring 335 basically fully, wiring SENSEP and wiring SENSED are to connect up 335 identical cycles, phase place and with essentially identical electrical oscillation with common potential.Therefore, the bias voltage that puts on diode owing to the polarity of common potential wiring 335 does not change basically.And than the 1st embodiment, the wiring number reduces significantly, so can dwindle the physical dimension of liquid crystal indicator.On the other hand, because the power supply potential of testing circuit 361 can be the DC current potential, thus can be shared with the power supply potential of scan line drive circuit 301, data line drive circuit 302, can not make the futile increase of the power supply number of supplying with.Also have, because the potential change of common potential wiring 335, noise increases and may influence under the situation of picture element etc. and certainly adopt formation from other power supply potential to optical sensor that supply with.
Wiring SENSEP with all limits is connected with wiring SENSED in the present embodiment, be connected with a testing circuit 361 then, but also can be as the 1st embodiment on each limit wiring SENSEP and wiring SENSED be separated and, this output be judged by the majority decision circuit 370 shown in the 1st embodiment at each limit configuration detection circuit 361-1~361-4.Otherwise, also can make n the testing circuit 360-n of the 1st embodiment become a testing circuit, with the short-circuit on each limit.If as present embodiment each limit short circuit being made testing circuit is one, then circuit scale can be cut down in a large number, can dwindle the size of liquid crystal indicator 910.On the other hand, because the outer illuminance that can detect is the mean value of the outer illuminance on each limit, be detected as outer illuminance darker than reality so under the situation of blocking outer light because of finger etc. in a large number, understand.As for which kind of selects then can be by size of the constituting of electronic equipment, method of operating, liquid crystal indicator etc. and determine on earth.
Though 4 limits of 310 have disposed optical sensor in the viewing area in each embodiment of this instructions, under the situation of the restriction that has profile etc., can certainly be 3 below the limit.
The present invention is not the mode that is defined in embodiment, also can not be used in the liquid crystal indicator of TN pattern and be used in vertical alignment mode (VA pattern), utilized transverse electric field the IPS pattern, utilized in the liquid crystal indicator of FFS pattern etc. of fringe field.And being not only the total transmissivity type also can be fully-reflected type, reflection and transmission dual-purpose type.And, except that liquid crystal indicator, can also be used for OLED display, field emission display, also can be used for liquid crystal indicator semiconductor device in addition.
And, not only can be used for control shown in the present embodiment and display brightness outer photophase, thereby and can be used for that brightness, colourity to display device is measured and this is fed back can not produce inhomogeneous, through the time display device that changes.
