The invention relates to a kind of data driver and apply its display module, be incorporated in data driver by by power control circuit, the power generation circuit controlling display module outside produces the voltage needed for display module.So, the circuit complexity of display module external circuit can be reduced, thus reduce the installation cost of display module.
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates the calcspar of the display module according to one embodiment of the invention.Display module 100 comprises a display panel 110, one scan driver 120 and a data driver 130.Such as but not can be a LCD MODULE limitedly, its display panel 110 used then can comprise a liquid crystal layer and two relative substrates to display module 100.Display module 100 can connect medium such as flexible circuit board 220 via one and be connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) 210, and forms a display.
Display panel 110 comprises multi-strip scanning line G1 ~ Gn, a plurality of data lines D1 ~ Dm.Data line D1 ~ Dm and sweep trace G1 ~ Gn hands over more.Display panel 110 also comprises the pixel that multiple friendship being arranged at sweep trace G1 ~ Gn and data line D1 ~ Dm is more located.Scanner driver 120 is in order to drive this little sweep trace G1 ~ Gn.Data driver 130 comprises data line drive circuit 131 and a power control circuit 132.Data line drive circuit 131 is in order to driving data line D1 ~ Dm.Power control circuit 132 is used for the generation of one scan applied voltage that gated sweep driver 120 uses.Scanning applied voltage can be produced by a power generation circuit 211.
In an embodiment, power control circuit 132 is such as merge with data line drive circuit 131 to be embodied as a driving chip, power generation circuit 211 is then such as used to some the peripheral circuit elements producing power supply, as capacitor, inductor, resistor and/or diode.As can be seen from Figure 1, power control circuit 132 is the inside being incorporated into display module 100, and power generation circuit 211 is then the outside being arranged on display module 100, as printed circuit board (PCB) 210 or flexible circuit board 220.
Compared to direct practice power supply chip or power management chip being arranged display module 100 outside, power supply chip is divided into two parts by one embodiment of the invention, namely above-mentioned power control circuit 132 and power generation circuit 211, and the data driver 130 power control circuit 132 being incorporated into display module 100 inside.So, the circuit complexity of display module 100 external circuit can be reduced, the installation cost of display module 100 is reduced.
In general, data driver 130 from its external circuit if printed circuit board (PCB) 210 or flexible circuit board 220 belong to different power supply areas (power domain).So-called power supply area is such as used to the scope of definition circuit or voltage that element used or can bear.In the example of an implementation, data driver 130 is such as belong to middle pressure or area of low pressure: about 13 volts or following, and printed circuit board (PCB) 210 and flexible circuit board 220 are such as belong to high-pressure area: about 20 volts.Compared to high-pressure area, the voltage that area of low pressure defines is lower, therefore the required component pressure used 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 high-pressure area, its component pressure is high, and data driver 130 belongs to middle pressure or area of low pressure, its component pressure is relatively low.Old friend, power control circuit 132 belongs to different power supply areas from power generation circuit 211.In other words, compared to being arranged on high-pressure area, the power control circuit 132 being arranged on middle pressure or area of low pressure can realize with withstand voltage lower element, and has less range of distribution and lower cost.
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates the schematic diagram of the power-supply controller of electric 132 of Fig. 1 and an example of power generation circuit 211 and coherent signal.For the power control circuit 132 belonging to two different electrical power regions and power generation circuit 211, the exchange signal therebetween need through suitable design.In an embodiment, in order to control the power generation circuit 211 of 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.The positive voltage that scanning applied voltage VGH uses for scanner driver 120.In implementation, scanning applied voltage VGH is defined in high-pressure area, as 15 volts.This scanning applied voltage VGH is higher than the component pressure of the power control circuit 132 be incorporated in data driver 130.Therefore power control circuit 132 can receive the detection signal Vd1 lower than scanning applied voltage VGH, and provide a control signal Vc1 to carry out Control of Voltage according to this.This detection signal Vd1 system is along with scanning applied voltage VGH variation, and so as to the change making power control circuit 132 detect scanning applied voltage VGH, and reaction is on its control signal Vc1.
In another embodiment, power control circuit 132 is used for the generation of gated sweep applied voltage VGL.The negative voltage that scanning applied voltage VGL uses for scanner driver 120.In implementation, scanning applied voltage VGL is such as about-10 volts.Similar in the scanning applied voltage VGH of positive potential, power control circuit 132 can receive the detection signal Vd2 of amplitude lower than scanning applied voltage VGL, and provides a control signal Vc2 to carry out Control of Voltage according to this.
In another embodiment, power control circuit 132 is more used for the generation of control data applied voltage AVDD.The voltage that market demand voltage AVDD uses for data driver 130.In implementation, market demand voltage AVDD is such as about 10 volts.Similar in scanning applied voltage VGH or VGL, power control circuit 132 also can receive the detection signal Vd3 lower than market demand voltage AVDD, and provides a control signal Vc3 to carry out Control of Voltage according to this.
In this little embodiment, detecting voltage Vd1 ~ Vd3 can have different embodiments according to different circuit design.In an embodiment, detect the dividing potential drop that voltage Vd1 is such as scanning applied voltage VGH.In other words, power generation circuit 211 is such as in the mode of resistance string, and the dividing potential drop of the power supply area of power generation circuit 211 is fed back to power control circuit 132, using the Control of Voltage benchmark as power control circuit 132.The implementation method detecting voltage Vd2 and Vd3 is also similar.
