The invention relates to a kind of data driver and use its display module,, control the outside power generation circuit of display module and produce the required voltage of display module by power control circuit is incorporated in the data driver.So, can reduce the circuit complexity of display module external circuit, thereby reduce the installation cost of display module.
Please with reference to Fig. 1, it illustrates the calcspar according to a display module of one embodiment of the invention.Display module 100 comprises a display panel 110, one scan driver 120, an and data driver 130.Display module 100 for example but not can be a LCD MODULE limitedly, the display panel 110 of its use then can comprise a liquid crystal layer and two opposing substrates.Display module 100 can be connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) 210 via a connection media such as flexible circuit board 220, and forms a display.
Display panel 110 comprises multi-strip scanning line G1~Gn, many data line D1~Dm.Data line D1~Dm and sweep trace G1~Gn hands over more.Display panel 110 also comprises the pixel that a plurality of friendships that are arranged at sweep trace G1~Gn and data line D1~Dm are located more.Scanner driver 120 is in order to drive this a little sweep trace G1~Gn.Data driver 130 comprises a data line drive circuit 131 and a power control circuit 132.Data line drive circuit 131 is in order to driving data lines D1~Dm.Power control circuit 132 is used for the generation of gated sweep driver 120 employed one scan applied voltages.The scanning applied voltage can be by 211 generations of a power generation circuit.
In an embodiment; Power control circuit 132 for example is to merge with data line drive circuit 131 to be embodied as a chip for driving; Power generation circuit 211 then for example is some peripheral circuit elements that are used for producing power supply, like capacitor, inductor, resistor and/or diode.Can know that from Fig. 1 power control circuit 132 is the inside that is incorporated into display module 100, power generation circuit 211 then is arranged on the outside of display module 100, like printed circuit board (PCB) 210 or flexible circuit board 220.
Compared to directly power supply chip or power management chip being provided with the outside practice of display module 100; One embodiment of the invention are divided into two parts with power supply chip; Be above-mentioned power control circuit 132 and power generation circuit 211, and power control circuit 132 is incorporated into the data driver 130 of display module 100 inside.So, can reduce the circuit complexity of display module 100 external circuits, the installation cost of display module 100 is reduced.
In general, data driver 130 and its external circuit such as printed circuit board (PCB) 210 or flexible circuit board 220 are the power supply areas (power domain) that belong to different.So-called power supply area for example is to be used for the scope of definition circuit or the voltage that element used or can bear.In a real example of doing, data driver 130 for example is to press or the area of low pressure in belonging to: about 13 volts or below, and printed circuit board (PCB) 210 and flexible circuit board 220 for example are to belong to the high-pressure area: about 20 volts.Compared to the high-pressure area, the defined voltage in area of low pressure is lower, so the component pressure of the required use of its circuit also can be lower.
From the angle of power supply area and component pressure, printed circuit board (PCB) 210 and flexible circuit board 220 belong to the high-pressure area, its component pressure is high, and data driver 130 belong in pressure or area of low pressure, its component pressure relatively low.The old friend, power control circuit 132 belongs to different power supply areas with power generation circuit 211.In other words, compared to being arranged on the high-pressure area, the power control circuit 132 of pressure or area of low pressure can be realized with withstand voltage lower element in being arranged on, and has less range of distribution and lower cost.
Please with reference to Fig. 2, it illustrates the synoptic diagram of an example of power-supply controller of electric 132 and power generation circuit 211 and the coherent signal of Fig. 1.For the power control circuit 132 and power generation circuit 211 that belong to two different electrical power zone, the switching signal between therebetween need pass through suitable design.In an embodiment, for the power generation circuit 211 of controlling the high-pressure area, voltage signal can be designed to meet the middle pressure of power-supply controller of electric 132 or the signal of area of low pressure.
In an embodiment, power control circuit 132 is used for the generation of gated sweep applied voltage VGH.Scanning applied voltage VGH is scanner driver 120 employed positive voltages.Among the Yu Shizuo, scanning applied voltage VGH is defined in the high-pressure area, as 15 volts.This scanning applied voltage VGH is higher than the component pressure of the power control circuit 132 that is incorporated in the data driver 130.Be to receive a detection signal Vd1 who is lower than scanning applied voltage VGH, and provide a control signal Vc1 to carry out Control of Voltage according to this with, power control circuit 132.This detection signal Vd1 system detects the variation of scanning applied voltage VGH so as to making power control circuit 132, and is reflected on its control signal Vc1 along with scanning applied voltage VGH change.
