Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of display device, especially, relate to gate drivers (gate driver) and the method for operating thereof of a kind of liquid crystal indicator (LCD display).
Background technology
In recent years, constantly develop because image shows relevant science and technology, the display device of the new kenel of all kinds of Chu Xianing replaces traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) display gradually on the market.Wherein, liquid crystal indicator (LCD) extensively is subjected to liking of ordinary consumer owing to have power saving and advantage such as do not take up space, and has therefore become the main flow on the monitor market.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 shows the synoptic diagram of the operational scenario of the power management chip of traditional liquid crystal indicator and gate drivers.As shown in Figure 1, the power management chip 1 that is used for liquid crystal indicator traditionally mainly comprises two parts: boost pressure controller (boost regulator) 10 and top rake baud generator (grid impulse modulating converter, gate pulse modulation switch) 12.Wherein, boost pressure controller 10 boosts to the simulation primary power AVDD of higher pressure in order to the input power supply VIN with low pressure.Simulation primary power AVDD is in order to source electrode driver that liquid crystal indicator is provided, gamma (Gamma) reference voltage impact damper, first charge pump 2 and the required power supply of second charge pump 3.Will produce high levle out-put supply VGH and low level out-put supply VGL respectively as for first charge pump 2 and second charge pump 3, to offer each gate drivers 5.
Generally speaking, after the transmission of signal through the scanning linear of liquid crystal indicator, the waveform of signal will produce distortion because of the influence of dead resistance and stray capacitance delay, the signal that causes being positioned at front end and terminal gate drivers 5 has different waveforms, thereby causes the shown film flicker of liquid crystal indicator.In order to improve this phenomenon of picture flicker, the high levle out-put supply VGH that first charge pump 2 is exported can't directly offer gate drivers 5, but earlier the top rake baud generator 12 by power management chip 1 is that benchmark carries out top rake to high levle out-put supply VGH and handles with top rake control signal YVC, to produce top rake out-put supply signal VGHM, export top rake out-put supply signal VGHM to each gate drivers 5 again.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 shows the example of the top rake baud generator 12 of traditional power management chip 1.As shown in Figure 2, top rake baud generator 12 utilizes P1 and two PMOS of P2 to be external to discharge resistance R1 as switch and discharge node R E.When top rake control signal YVC was in high levle, the reverse signal YVC_N of top rake control signal YVC then was in low level, and at this moment, switch P 1 will be opened and switch P 2 will be closed, so top rake out-put supply signal VGHM will be charged to high-voltage VGH; When top rake control signal YVC is in low level, the reverse signal YVC_N of top rake control signal YVC then is in high levle, at this moment, switch P 1 will be closed and switch P 2 will be opened, so top rake out-put supply signal VGHM will utilize the discharge resistance R1 of ground connection to begin discharge from high-voltage VGH.
Though said method can improve the film flicker phenomenon that liquid crystal indicator runs into, yet, the problem that causes other to be difficult to overcome also.Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 shows the sequential chart of traditional top rake baud generator 12 operations.As shown in Figure 3, suppose that high-voltage VGH is 30 volts (V), top rake bottom voltage is 10V.In very first time at interval during the t1, switch P 1 is closed and switch P 2 is opened, and top rake out-put supply signal VGHM will begin to discharge and forms the waveform of top rake discharge node R E.
Then, after the time enters second time interval t2, switch P 1 switches to opening and switch P 2 by originally closed condition and switches to closed condition by opening, because general switch P 1 and the resistance of P2 are about 15 ohm or littler, therefore, will produce burst current in switch P 1 by closing the moment that switches to unlatching, its peak value is about (30 volts-10 volts)/15 ohm=1.3 amperes.
It should be noted that, become big along with the panel size of liquid crystal indicator is continuous, the passage of gate drivers (channel) number also can become many, make the load capacitance of top rake out-put supply signal VGHM become big, the time that causes switch P formed burst current of 1 unlatching moment to be kept is also elongated.On the other hand, the high-voltage VGH of gate drivers also can become big and improves along with panel size, under the constant situation of top rake bottom voltage, also can cause the peak value of burst current to become big, thus cause gate drivers with and the damage on packaging line road.In addition, traditional power management chip 1 must the many design costs of ancillary cost, quite inconvenience for boost pressure controller 10 and the top rake baud generator 12 with processing of different voltages will being combined.
Therefore, the present invention proposes a kind of gate drivers and method of operating thereof that is applied to liquid crystal indicator, to address the above problem.
