Detailed Description Of The Invention
This design as in example as shown in different embodiments of the invention has illustrated how LED (light emitting diode) can be used to produce display system.Multiple light emitting diode is arranged, light emitting diode (so-called LED) for example, resonant cavity light emitting diodes (RCLED), Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), electroluminescent diode (ELD), photon recycle semiconductor light-emitting-diode (photonrecycling light emitting diode).
Because of the electroluminescence phenomenon that charge carrier injection semiconductor causes finds that by Round (in 1907) it injects charge carrier silit and observe yellowish light from hard contact.Red LED is invented by Holonyak and Bevacqua (in 1962), and is widely used in instrument and the consumer goods such as counter and wrist-watch soon.Manufacturing process and the better understanding of solid condition apparatus luminous mechanism and the minimized improvement of loss just caused brighter year by year equipment.In display system, utilize LED to have several advantages.Use LED can make the emission display system of fine quality.Generally than non-emission type display system such as backlight LCD or utilize the projection display of SLM, the emission display system is used lower power.This be since a part that is shown screen only for example 10% to 20% typical frame shown by power with maximum.On the other hand, in order to obtain high-high brightness, backlit display has the backlight of the maximum always adjusted to.This has also caused the better contrast ratio of emission display system, and this is because when a zone of screen does not show, the light of this part of screen does not just produce.Can not turn off the light in the backlit display fully, therefore this caused low contrast ratio.
Utilize another advantage of bright red, green, blue LED display system to be: can for example utilize not high, the facile red (626nm of price, AlGaInP LED)) green (525nm,, use GaInN LED) and blue (450nm, use GaInN LED) equipment, can make color display system with Color Range wideer than NTSC standard.In addition, it is correct that Haitz ' s law kept in more than 30 year always, and the light of prediction LED is exported and will be doubled in per 18 to 20 months.
As shown in Figure 4, in an embodiment of the present invention 400, by being installed in exciting light beam and move this substrate and producing colored demonstration of red (404), green (406) on the substrate (402), blue (408) LED with suitable speed.The duration that excites depends on position, the translational speed of substrate and the information content that will show.Fig. 4 shows the view of this demonstration, and wherein for convenience of explanation, substrate (402) illustrates with the amplification form.This is that direct viewing type shows, this is to mean because of demonstration in this embodiment of the invention to be used for direct-view.
Fig. 5 with the block scheme formal specification one embodiment of the invention 500, it illustrates LED-based display system.The shown vision signal of input 501 for providing by electronic system.But this signal adherence to standard form such as VESA (video electronics standard (Video Electronics Standards)) can be simulation or digital form.A kind of new digital standard is DVI (digital visual interface (Digital Visual Interface)).If the input video of system is simulated, input interface becomes digital version 503 with sync section 502 with the analog rgb conversion of signals so.
Another outside input is a power 533, is used for driving and showing electron device.Digital video information 503 is admitted to controller 504.The clock 535 of high-frequency (for example, from 40MHz to 200MHz) is provided to controller 504.Controller 504 (by 511) is received nonvolatile memory 510 and (by 513) receive random access memory 512.RAM (random access memory) 512 is used to store whole frame information.Nonvolatile memory 510 is used for the required various parameters of storage system operation.For example, when the RGB led array is assembled, it is tested to check the consistance of LED brightness.The nuance of brightness (5-10%) is stored in the nonvolatile memory 510, and for example flash memory compensates with permission.Actual range between light beam also is found in test and is stored in the nonvolatile memory 510.
In one embodiment of the invention, any gamma correction (gamma correction) if necessary, for example forms with data in controller 504.Nonvolatile memory 510 has the information about the motion characteristics that produced by sports equipment 514, and described sports equipment 514 is connected to led array 506 by 515.Time when this allows controller 504 to calculate the particular column unlatching and the pulse width of specific pixel.Controller 504 is from position transducer 516 receiving position informations 517.In one embodiment of this invention, linear encoder is used for determining the position.In another embodiment, VCSEL is used as the very accurate light source of arrow beam of light (for example light signal 509), this precision light source for example is 850nm, be installed on movable substrate (as 506) and the photodetector (as 516), it is coated with the Hi-pass filter in the wavelength filter in the fixed position (by 800nm).Light detector signals 517 is given controller.When just assembling (in the manufacturing) display device, carry out the accurate range information of calibration testing with the detecting device of acquisition fixed position installation.This data storage is at nonvolatile memory 510.The advantage of this method is that this positional information is to obtain from substrate in a kind of " not having heavy (weight-less) " mode; Utilize the more connection (as 505) that linear encoder on the substrate need be from substrate (can support led array 506) to controller 504.The number that minimizes the signal (as 505) from substrate (as 506) to controller (as 504) is very important.Led array 506 produces light output 507, and described light output 507 is sent to optical system 508 and for example is used to the screen that shows.
Fig. 6 has illustrated one embodiment of the invention 600, and it illustrates the more detailed details of substrate.Substrate 602 is equipped with thereon: VCSEL604; The light beam 608 of the LEDLED of the first array red LED, the light beam 610 of green LED, and the light beam 612 of blue led; The LED light beam 618 of the second array red LED, the light beam 620 of green LED, and the light beam 622 of blue led; Six chip for driving 614, it is used to drive the LED of first (608,610,612) and second (618,620,622); And the parts from substrate 602 are to the connector 624 of controller (as 504 Fig. 5).
In one embodiment of this invention, LED-based display device operation as follows:
1. the frame that shows of video is hunted down and is stored among the RAM in the described equipment.
2. data are carried out the gamma correction and the adjusting of red, green and blue LED intensity values of pixels, and store it.
3. the substrate that holds red, green and blue LED light beam originates in the high order end position.
4.LED excitation information be sent to substrate with in the impact damper that is stored in chip for driving.The data of several light beams (1-8) are stored in the chip for driving.This chip is organized by color, and promptly a chip for driving is used for redly, and a different chip for driving is used for green and another chip for driving is used for basket.Because the LED of different colours needs different drivings (voltage, electric current etc.), therefore adopt this mode of organizing this driver.For example, red LED is in identical light beam, and this light beam is different from other color.Arbitrary light beam (red, green or blue) all needs two information.First for being timing information, and it is identical for whole light beam.Second is that each LED in the described light beam need be based on video display message that sends and the number relevant with the pulse width of specific LED and pixel.
5. the free counter in each chip for driving (free running counter) resets to zero, and reset signal one removal, and first light beam of light emitting diode is just energized.This guarantees that all chip for driving are synchronous, and with identical time base starting.
6.LED energization sequence carry out, thereby the time utilization appropriate signals value that is being fit to.For example, if the LED light beam is vertically arranged red, green, blue (blue is rightmost light beam), so suitable blue light post LED was energized to produce the first visible vertical light beam in the zero-time, suitable green LED the suitable time (because substrate moves from left to right, after blue LED) energized to produce the first visible vertical light beam with suitable greenness index, energized at later time blue light post then.Therefore, in one embodiment, because each light beam of LED is in identical position, therefore suitable LED is illuminated to produce vertical visible display line (or light beam).
7. controller is continuously red, green and blue light post transmitting time and excitation data with pipeline system, up to whole scannings of finishing image.The knowledge of position transducer and motion feature makes controller understand when to scan and finishes.
8. repeat this sequence now, yet at this moment substrate is to move from right to left.
Repeat this sequence, typically per second is 30 times.This means from left to right or complete passage per second from right to left takes place 60 times.Because the protensive features of people's vision, the beholder sees comfortable demonstration.This technology is not limited to move with per second 60 frames.Can show with higher or lower speed operation.For example, in order to produce 3-D display, but substrate per second motion 120 times, 60 " frames " show left-eye image, and 60 " frames " show eye image synchronously with for example LCD conversion safety goggles.
The screen that plastics are made for example, is used for the physical stability and the protection of equipment, and can has the optical coating of adding (as antireflection) in addition.
Those skilled in the art it should be noted that, this method is compared fixedly the advantage of M * N display system and is that independent red, green and blue LED human eye can not distinguish.In this fixed display, for example during display white, can notice white with red, green and blue point.Utilize this embodiment of the present invention, red, green and blue LED is with row tissues, yet because the motion of substrate, although exciting of LED is designed to that each row physically is separated out, yet excite to time sequencing, thereby color spatially is corresponding to.
In one embodiment of this invention, forming the required most of energy of demonstration is required be used for illuminating LED and the required moving substrate (mechanical energy) that is used for.Formula 1 has provided quality m (Kg) and with the mobile movable carriage of fixed speed v (meter per second) and the kinetic energy of substrate:
Kinetic energy=1/2mv 2(formula 1)
In one embodiment of this invention, for energy minimization, minimum mass m and particularly speed v.The scanning needed time of full frame is normally fixed, thereby can reduce speed v by the total kilometres that reduce carriage and substrate.This can realize by a plurality of rgb light posts that use spaced apart fixedly known distance.Fig. 7 shows one embodiment of the invention 700, wherein shows this method.
Fig. 7 shows a method 700, by using a plurality of red, green and blue light beams 731,732,733 and 734 to minimize the total kilometres of substrate 702.For example, if produce 1280 * 1024 demonstration, and if to use partition distance be 4 light beams of the RGB LED of " A " mm, each light beam can show whole demonstrations (320 * 1024 parts in 320 * 4=1280) so.Light beam 731,732,733 and 734 needn't equidistantly separate and show 320 light beams definitely.Be that spacing A can be wittingly with different value forms.Actual pitch in manufacture process between light beam is through measuring, and the parameter that is fit to is transfused to nonvolatile memory, thus controller can compensate and allow each quartile show 320+/-the x light beam, wherein x can be 0,1,2 or bigger.This has just allowed by overlapping generation seamless image.Use another advantage of multiple beam to be, can produce very bright demonstration.This is because more LED is just being used in demonstration, and it is installed in a bigger zone to allow better heat radiation.Substrate 702 is equipped with thereon: VCSEL 704; Four light beams 731,732,733 and 734 of red, green, blue LED; Two groups of six chip for driving 714 and 728, it is used to drive four light beams; And the parts from substrate 702 are to the connector 724 of controller (as 504 Fig. 5).
In one embodiment of this invention, utilized the linear movement of substrate.Discuss the linear movement of substrate now.For example, if just producing the pixel of 50u, and the spacing of LED is 50u, and so under the situation of one group of light beam of LED, the LED light beam must move 1024 * 50u (51.2mm) and be used for 1024 pixels and show.With four groups of light beams of RGB LED, total amount of movement is 51.2/4mm (12.8mm).Traveling time surpasses 10 milliseconds cycle.With 1 light beam average velocity is 5.12 meter per seconds, is 1.28 meter per seconds with four equally spaced light beam average velocitys.
It is unnecessary using pure linear movement to produce display image.As long as kinetic characteristic is accurately known, the time of being energized by the change particular pixel column just can produce image exactly.For example, if d iFor producing the distance that pixel moved for i light beam, be used to produce the pixel of equidimension so,
Di=d, constant.
Di=∫ vdt (formula 2)
Wherein upper limit of integral is ti, is limited to t down I-1
And di is i distance that light beam moved of generation
Ti is the time that i light beam energized and finished
t I-1It is the time that i-1 light beam energized and finished.
In one embodiment of the invention, adopted sinusoidal motion.This is shown in Figure 8.
Given apart from x (t) (802) by following formula:
X (t)=asin (ω t) (formula 3)
Speed v (t) (802) is given by following formula:
v(t)=dx/dt
=a ω cos (ω t) (formula 4)
In the zero-time, substrate 806 is in the centre, i.e. x (0)=0.Substrate begins along negative direction to left movement, up to its arrival high order end.At this moment speed is 0.Substrate begins to move right, and through zero position and to the right up to its arrival low order end position.
In one embodiment of this invention, some numerical value are:
ω=2 π f, wherein f is a per second round-robin frequency.
ω=2 π 30 (formula 5)
It is not 0 that part of motion that expectation utilizes speed (positive and negative).This can be the zone of ω t=2 π/3 to 4 π/3 for to the right motion, and for left motion, this can be the zone of ω t=5 π/3 to 7 π/3, and it is rational selection.
From top formula (formula 2-5), controller can be known t iAnd t I-1Value because all other amounts are all known.The product of time and speed is constant, thus in order to have the column width of same apparent size, when speed is maximum, the time interval minimum that light beam is energized.On the contrary, if speed is low, large interval then.Yet the time interval of energizing is big more, and it is bright more that light beam can seem.Therefore, be necessary the correction of application-dependent light beam position.The center column speed that Fig. 8 shows at image is maximum.This shows that the center is not brighter than the right-hand member and the left end of image.Correction factor can be applicable to the excitation values of LED to proofread and correct this situation.
In one embodiment of this invention, utilize said method and projection optics to produce electronic projection display system 900, as shown in Figure 9.Here show the cross-sectional view of the projector that utilizes led array.905, digital LED driving data and power 905 are supplied to and have led array and drive 906 substrate, and it is by sports equipment 914 location.The optics output that has led array and drive 906 substrate is sent to and focuses on and projection optical system 960, and the image of its projection focusing is watched being used to.
The method of projector type also can be used for other embodiments of the invention to produce flat-panel monitor as described above.Two kinds of so dull and stereotyped embodiment 1002 and 1004 of the present invention are shown in Figure 10." straight " wedge-shaped waveguide has been shown in 1002, and illustrate in 1004 " folding " wedge-shaped waveguide.In 1002 and 1004, LED shows " being lower than " wedge-shaped waveguide, and projects image onto wedge-shaped waveguide.
Those skilled in the art can recognize that the present invention can be used for other Screen Technology as the LED projection tools, and for example, screen waveguide technologies is to produce LED-based flat-panel monitor.
More than discuss, for the purpose of discussing, used three kinds of LED; Red, green and blue.The present invention is not limited thereto.For example,, can use LED more than three in order to increase the Color Range that LED shows, and the LED that can use different colours.
For example, in one embodiment of this invention, in display system described herein,, can increase Color Range by using 4 or the light beam of more LED of suitable wavelength.Figure 11 shows one embodiment of the invention 1100, shows the Color Range of the LED 1108 of the LED 1106 of LED 1104,490nm (green 2) of LED 1102, the 520nm (green 1) that use 660nm (red) and 440nm (indigo plant).As can be seen, the Color Range increase has exceeded film (motionpicture) and ntsc television scope, and approaches people's visual range.
In addition, those skilled in the art can recognize that above-described technology can also be used for non-visible light source.For example, can use the LED of infra-red range.This is to the radiation source of fluorescent apparatus and other purposes, and for example expose photoresist, film, plumbous imprint lithography etc. are of great use.
Those skilled in the art can recognize that the substrate that mobile or location has LED can pass through accomplished in many ways, including, but not limited to rail system, jib system, pendulum mode, rotating hinge mode or the like.
Therefore, method and device based on the display system of light emitting diode have been described.
