Background technology
Due to low price and the high quality of liquid crystal display, liquid crystal display has been widely used in notebook (notebook), PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), mobile phone, and in the information products such as clock and watch.
Liquid crystal display formed primarily of single or multiple source electrode driver, single or multiple gate pole driver and a panel.Source electrode driver and gate pole driver are used for data line (dataline) crisscross in control panel and sweep trace (scanline) respectively, and the junction of each data line and sweep trace is connected with a thin film transistor (TFT), that is thin film transistor (TFT) is distributed in panel in the mode of matrix, and each thin film transistor (TFT) corresponds to a pixel (Pixel).Wherein, conventional source driver needs to receive many group external reference voltages to export correct voltage to data line, and then the pixel of the panel of driving liquid crystal displays shows.Therefore reference voltage plays important role, and many application can use extra reference voltage generator, strengthens the driving force of reference voltage and burning voltage.
In addition, general panel application can change source electrode driver output voltage by adjustment reference voltage, and then reach the object of adjustment picture color, therefore the reference voltage generator of supply source driver reference voltage needs to adjust reference voltage.

In the case, for saving system cost and dynamic conditioning reference voltage, separately external reference voltage generator 12 and known sources driver 10 are incorporated in an integrated source electrode driver in known technology, to organize reference voltage by simple control mode in integrated source electrode driver inside generation more.
It should be noted that, because known external reference voltage generator 12 is in order to coordinate the demand of different application, therefore exported each reference voltage must utilize controlling mechanism adjustment, and need provide the setting range of track to track (rail-to-rail) (namely each reference voltage can adjust between a power supply supply voltage of outside reference voltage generator 12 and a ground connection level).
But, if directly known external reference voltage generator 12 is incorporated into integrated source electrode driver with known sources driver 10, needed for source electrode driver 10, the quantity of reference voltage is larger, if therefore the setting range of reference voltage is still identical with the setting range of known external reference voltage generator 12 track to track, and maintaining height adjustment resolution, then hardware consumption can be quite large.In view of this, real necessity having improvement of known technology.

Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of the integrated source electrode driver 20 of the embodiment of the present invention one.As shown in Figure 2, integrated source electrode driver 20 includes generating circuit from reference voltage 202, positive polarity reference voltage selection circuit 204, negative polarity reference voltage selection circuit 206, positive polarity voltage impact damper PVB 1~ PVB m, reverse voltage impact damper NVB 1~ NVB mand one source pole driving circuit 208.
In simple terms, generating circuit from reference voltage 202 provides positive polarity adjustable-voltage scope PAVR between a power supply supply voltage VS and a ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, negative polarity adjustable-voltage scope NAVR 1~ NAVR mgive reference voltage selection circuit 204,206, reference voltage selection circuit 204,206 includes digital analog converter (digitaltoanalogconverter, DAC) PDAC respectively 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC m(not illustrating the embodiment shown in Fig. 2), is used for according to a control signal CON of digital form, respectively at adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mmiddle selection produces internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mgive voltage buffer PVB 1~ PVB m, NVB 1~ NVB m, voltage buffer PVB 1~ PVB m, NVB 1~ NVB mto internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mafter cushioning, lockable voltage quasi position is with stable output internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mgive source electrode drive circuit 208, make source electrode drive circuit 208 can according to internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mdrive.Wherein, adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mthere is descending (i.e. internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mthere is descending), and the structure of source electrode drive circuit 208 and operation similar to known sources driver 10.
In the case, due to adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR msuccessively decrease formal distribution between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND, therefore corresponding digital analog converter PDAC 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC mby internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mat adjustable-voltage scope PAVR out of the ordinary 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR minside carry out adjusting but not adjusting between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND.Thus, due to internal reference voltage VPREF in integrated source electrode driver 20 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF madjustable amplitude is less, and therefore the present invention can save hardware consumption or increase Voltage Cortrol resolution under same hardware under identical Voltage Cortrol resolution.
Specifically, please refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of an output voltage curve, and Fig. 4 is the adjustable-voltage scope PAVR shown in Fig. 2 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mschematic diagram.As shown in Figure 3, internal reference voltage VPREF in panel application 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF min the output voltage curve that corresponding input data produce (i.e. a gamma curve), the internal reference voltage VPREF needed for source electrode drive circuit 208 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mbe divided into positive-negative polarity and have descending (from negative polarity toward positive polarity then for increasing progressively), therefore integrated source electrode driver 20 produces internal reference voltage VPREF through integrating by inside 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mtime, internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mdo not need as known external reference voltage generator 12 has the setting range (namely between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND all adjustable) of track to track (rail-to-rail), and can according to the gamma curve adjustment internal reference voltage VPREF of practical application 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF madjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mmaxima and minima carry out optimization.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, due to internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mhave descending, be therefore by adjustable-voltage scope PAVR in integrated source electrode driver 20 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mdesign is contracted to a particular range respectively and is distributed between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND.Although it should be noted that the adjustable-voltage scope PAVR shown in Fig. 4 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mdo not overlap each other, but in other embodiments, according to different panels application, adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR malso can partly overlap each other.Thus, due to adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mlittle compared with the setting range of track to track between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND, therefore the present invention can reach the effect of to save hardware consumption or increasing Voltage Cortrol resolution under identical Voltage Cortrol resolution under same hardware.
For example, the setting range often organizing reference voltage due to known external reference voltage generator 12 is track to track, suppose that power supply supply voltage VS is 16V, if use the digital analog converter of 10 (bit), then the adjustment resolution of every single order is 16V/1024=15.6mV.In comparison, in the integrated source electrode driver 20 of the present invention, can consider adjustable-voltage scope PAVR according to practical application situation 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR min each adjustable-voltage scope be limited in 2V.In this case, in one embodiment, the present invention can be designed to 7 with reference to each digital analog converter in voltage selecting circuit 204,206 and namely reach the adjustment resolution that every single order is 2V/128=15.6mV, thus saves hardware consumption; In another embodiment, the present invention can also be designed to 10 and reach the adjustment resolution that every single order is 2V/1024<2mV with reference to each digital analog converter in voltage selecting circuit 204,206, thus increases Voltage Cortrol resolution.Thus, the present invention can produce less internal reference voltage VPREF according in the integrated source electrode driver of practical application 20 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF madjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m, therefore compared with known external reference voltage generator 12, higher adjustment resolution can be reached under same hardware consumption, or only need to use less hardware under equal resolution.
Specifically, please refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is for being used for the schematic diagram of the integrated source electrode driver 50 realizing the integrated source electrode driver 20 shown in Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 5, integrated source electrode driver 50 is the detailed maps of integrated source electrode driver 20, therefore acts on similar assembly and signal represents with same-sign.Generating circuit from reference voltage 202, by electric resistance partial pressure or alternate manner, directly produces positive polarity adjustable-voltage scope PAVR between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, negative polarity adjustable-voltage scope NAVR 1~ NAVR mgive corresponding digital analog converter PDAC 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC m, make digital analog converter PDAC 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC mcan respectively according to received control signal CON at adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mselect and export corresponding internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m(namely corresponding respectively to the rank, specific voltage position in control signal CON corresponding to a certain number bit code), then voltage buffer PVB 1~ PVB m, NVB 1~ NVB mmode of can feedbacking is stable exports internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mgive positive polarity Gamma correction resistance 510 and a negative polarity Gamma correction resistance 512 of source electrode drive circuit 208, to carry out subsequent operation.Wherein, control signal CON control figure analog converter PDAC 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC mproduce internal reference voltage VPREF out of the ordinary 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mnumerical code and incomplete same (as internal reference voltage VPREF 1position is at adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 1the upper limit and internal reference voltage VPREF 2position is at adjustable-voltage scope PAVR 2lower limit).Under such configuration, adjustable digital analog converter PDAC of the present invention 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC mfigure place, and then reach the effect of to save hardware consumption or increasing Voltage Cortrol resolution under identical Voltage Cortrol resolution under same hardware.
It should be noted that main spirits of the present invention is that carrying out integration produces internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mtime, corresponding adjustable-voltage scope PAVR can be reduced according to practical application 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m, therefore can reach higher adjustment resolution under same hardware consumption, or only need to use less hardware under equal resolution.Those of ordinary skill in the art when carrying out according to this modifying or changing, and are not limited thereto.For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, generating circuit from reference voltage 202, by electric resistance partial pressure or alternate manner, directly produces adjustable-voltage scope PAVR between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m, but in other embodiments, also can receive external reference voltage and produce adjustable-voltage scope PAVR according to this again 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m.
For example, please refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram of another integrated source electrode driver 60 of the embodiment of the present invention.As shown in Figure 6, integrated source electrode driver 60 is identical with source electrode driver 20 part integrated shown in Fig. 5, therefore acts on similar assembly and signal represents with same-sign.Integrated source electrode driver 60 is with the essential difference of integrated source electrode driver 20, and the generating circuit from reference voltage 602 included by integrated source electrode driver 60 separately receives external reference voltage VREF 1~ VREF a, and according to external reference voltage VREF 1~ VREF aadjustable-voltage scope PAVR is provided between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mmiddle at least one.
In this case, directly between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND, adjustable-voltage scope PAVR is produced compared to the generating circuit from reference voltage 202 shown in Fig. 5 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m, and adjustable-voltage scope PAVR may be caused when the unstable disturbance of power supply supply voltage VS 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mskew ideal value, generating circuit from reference voltage 602 receives by voltage buffer VB in the present embodiment 1~ VB athe stable external reference voltage VREF provided after buffering 1~ VREF aas reference voltage point, therefore there is stable reference voltage point between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND, and stable adjustable-voltage scope PAVR can be produced 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m.It should be noted that the present invention carries out integration and produces internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m, to reduce external reference voltage point, therefore can save system cost and dynamic conditioning reference voltage, the external reference voltage VREF therefore received by outside in Fig. 6 1~ VREF aquantity should be less than required internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mquantity (i.e. A<2m), carry out integrating had advantage to reach.
In addition, please refer to Fig. 7, Fig. 7 is the schematic diagram of a embodiment of the present invention more integrated source electrode driver 70.As shown in Figure 7, integrated source electrode driver 70 is identical with integrated source electrode driver 60 part, therefore acts on similar assembly and signal represents with same-sign.Integrated source electrode driver 70 is with the essential difference of integrated source electrode driver 60, and the one source pole driving circuit 708 included by integrated source electrode driver 70 receives external reference voltage VREF by a positive polarity Gamma correction resistance 710 and a negative polarity Gamma correction resistance 712 1, VREF a, then according to internal reference voltage VPREF 2~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m-1and external reference voltage VREF 1, VREF adrive.In this case, due to external reference voltage VREF 1, VREF aalso can adjust in its particular voltage range, therefore source electrode drive circuit 708 can directly by external reception external reference voltage VREF 1, VREF a, with replace as in Fig. 6 by inside the internal reference voltage VPREF that produces 1, VNREF m, and then save corresponding digital analog converter PDAC 1, NDAC mwith positive polarity voltage impact damper PVB 1, NVB mhardware consumption.
Moreover please refer to Fig. 8, Fig. 8 is the schematic diagram of a embodiment of the present invention more integrated source electrode driver 80.As shown in Figure 8, integrated source electrode driver 80 is identical with integrated source electrode driver 60 part, therefore acts on similar assembly and signal represents with same-sign.Integrated source electrode driver 80 is with the essential difference of integrated source electrode driver 60, integrated source electrode driver 80 comprises a positive polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 802 and a negative polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 804(also can be integrated into a generating circuit from reference voltage), be used for respectively receiving external reference voltage EVPREF 1~ EVPREF b, EVNREF 1~ EVNREF b, and according to external reference voltage EVPREF 1~ EVPREF b, EVNREF 1~ EVNREF badjustable-voltage scope PAVR is provided between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR mmiddle at least one.
Positive polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 802 and negative polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 804 receive by voltage buffer EPVB in the present embodiment 1~ EPVB b, ENVB 1~ ENVB bthe stable external reference voltage EVPREF provided after buffering 1~ EVPREF b, EVNREF 1~ EVNREF bpoint as the reference voltage, therefore has stable reference voltage point, and can produce stable adjustable-voltage scope PAVR between power supply supply voltage VS and ground connection level GND 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m.Wherein, external reference voltage EVPREF 1be a maximum positive polarity reference voltage, external reference voltage EVPREF bbe a minimum positive polarity reference voltage, external reference voltage EVNREF 1be a maximum negative polarity reference voltage and external reference voltage EVNREF bbe a minimal negative polarity reference voltage.
In this case, due to external reference voltage EVPREF 1, EVPREF b, EVNREF 1, EVNREF bfor stable reference voltage point, therefore the scope of positive polarity reference voltage and negative polarity reference voltage in positive polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 802 and negative polarity generating circuit from reference voltage 804 can clearly be defined, to avoid the cumulative errors caused during electric resistance partial pressure, and help at increase generation internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF maccuracy.It should be noted that the present invention carries out integration and produces internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m, to reduce external reference voltage point, therefore can save system cost and dynamic conditioning reference voltage, the external reference voltage EVPREF therefore received by outside in Fig. 8 1~ EVPREF b, EVNREF 1~ EVNREF bquantity should be less than required internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mquantity (i.e. 2B<2m), carry out integrating had advantage to reach.
In addition, please refer to Fig. 9, Fig. 9 is the schematic diagram of a embodiment of the present invention more integrated source electrode driver 90.As shown in Figure 9, integrated source electrode driver 90 is identical with integrated source electrode driver 80 part, therefore acts on similar assembly and signal represents with same-sign.Integrated source electrode driver 90 is with the essential difference of integrated source electrode driver 90, and the one source pole driving circuit 908 included by integrated source electrode driver 90 receives external reference voltage EVPREF by a positive polarity Gamma correction resistance 910 and a negative polarity Gamma correction resistance 912 1, EVNREF b, then according to internal reference voltage VPREF 2~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m-1and external reference voltage EVPREF 1, EVNREF bdrive, wherein, external reference voltage EVPREF 1be a maximum positive polarity reference voltage and external reference voltage EVNREF bbe a minimal negative polarity reference voltage.In this case, due to external reference voltage EVPREF 1, EVNREF balso can adjust in its particular voltage range, therefore source electrode drive circuit 908 can directly by external reception external reference voltage EVPREF 1, EVNREF b, with replace as in Fig. 8 by inside the internal reference voltage VPREF that produces 1, VNREF m, and then save corresponding digital analog converter PDAC 1, NDAC mwith positive polarity voltage impact damper PVB 1, NVB mhardware consumption.
It should be noted that, in the above-described embodiments, generating circuit from reference voltage and source electrode drive circuit receive the external reference voltage of specific level and specific quantity respectively, there is stable reference voltage point and save hardware consumption, but in other embodiments, generating circuit from reference voltage and source electrode drive circuit also according to the actual requirements, can receive the external reference voltage with other level and other quantity respectively, and still have stable reference voltage point and save hardware consumption.In addition, Fig. 5 to Fig. 9 is the embodiment of single integrated source electrode driver, and the panel application of general liquid crystal display needs multiple source electrode driver to drive the pixel of corresponding data line respectively, multiple integrated source electrode driver therefore also can be used in other embodiments to meet the panel application of liquid crystal display.
For example, please refer to Figure 10, Figure 10 is the embodiment of the present invention integrated source electrode driver 50a, 50b schematic diagram in a panel application.Integrated source electrode driver 50a, 50b are identical with integrated source electrode driver 50, therefore omit label in the hope of succinctly.In this case, integrated source electrode driver 50a, 50b are direct owing to producing internal reference voltage between power supply supply voltage and ground connection level to drive the pixel of corresponding data line respectively, and therefore outside only needs provide control signal CON and do not need to provide external reference voltage.
In addition, please refer to Figure 11, Figure 11 is the embodiment of the present invention integrated source electrode driver 110a, 110b schematic diagram in a panel application.Integrated source electrode driver 110a, 110b at least one can realize in the middle of integrated source electrode driver 60,70,80,90, therefore omit label in the hope of succinctly.In this case, integrated source electrode driver 110a, 110b receive stable external reference voltage VREF 1~ VREF aas reference voltage point, then produce internal reference voltage to drive the pixel of corresponding data line, therefore outside can provide external reference voltage VREF in the lump 1~ VREF agive integrated source electrode driver 110a, 110b.

Further, please refer to the 13rd figure, the 13rd figure is the integrated source electrode driver 130a of the embodiment of the present invention and source electrode driver 130b, 130c schematic diagram in a panel application.Integrated source electrode driver 130a is identical with integrated source electrode driver 50 part, therefore omits label in the hope of succinctly.The essential difference of integrated source electrode driver 130a and integrated source electrode driver 50 is, integrated source electrode driver 130a produces internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mafter, totality reference voltage VPREF is provided 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mgive source electrode driver 130b, 130c to drive.In the case, source electrode driver 130b, 130c can directly by external reception integrated source electrode driver 130a produce whole internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF m, and save the hardware consumption (namely integrated source electrode driver 130b, 130c are similar to known sources driver 10) of corresponding digital analog converter and positive polarity voltage impact damper completely.
It should be noted that, in the above-described embodiments, after the circuit that outside is produced reference voltage by integrated source electrode driver is integrated, generation internal reference voltage gives source electrode drive circuit and drives, and the circuit that the circuit integrated carries out driving according to reference voltage with script source electrode driver is not identical.Specifically, please refer to the 14th figure, the 14th figure is the detailed maps of the integrated source electrode driver 50 shown in Fig. 5.As shown in Figure 14, positive polarity Gamma correction resistance 510 and negative polarity Gamma correction resistance 512 receive internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mbe sent to digital analog converter in source electrode drive circuit 208 to carry out selecting (this digital analog converter and digital analog converter PDAC 1~ PDAC m, NDAC 1~ NDAC mnot identical), therefore after source electrode drive circuit 208 can utilize bi-directional shift buffer (Bi-directionalshiftregister), linear buffer (linebuffer), position quasi converter (levelshifter), digital analog converter, impact damper, output multiplexer, export correct voltage quasi position to drive, this part is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, does not repeat them here.
In known technology, if directly known external reference voltage generator 12 is incorporated into integrated source electrode driver with known sources driver 10, needed for source electrode driver 10, the quantity of reference voltage is larger, if therefore the setting range of reference voltage is still identical with the setting range of known external reference voltage generator 12 track to track, and maintaining height adjustment resolution, then hardware consumption can be quite large.In comparison, the present invention carries out integration generation internal reference voltage VPREF 1~ VPREF m, VNREF 1~ VNREF mtime, corresponding adjustable-voltage scope PAVR can be reduced according to practical application 1~ PAVR m, NAVR 1~ NAVR m, therefore can reach higher adjustment resolution under same hardware consumption, or only need to use less hardware under equal resolution.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any amendment done, equivalent replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
