Particularly, as shown in Figure 1, described biasing circuit 15 provides reference voltage or reference current for described AMOLED column drive circuit 1.In the present embodiment, described biasing circuit 15 is connected to described linear number analog conversion circuit 12 and described Gamma corrects output-stage circuit 13, for providing bias voltage, reference voltage.
As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the principle of work of above-mentioned AMOLED column drive circuit is as follows:
Digital signal exports to each linear number analog conversion circuit 12 by shift register, latch and level shifting circuit, described linear number analog conversion circuit 12 exports corresponding analog voltage, and the output of described linear number analog conversion circuit 12 corrects the input of output-stage circuit 13 as Gamma.By regulating described variable resistor R vARresistance realize Gamma in current field and correct, the current conversion after being corrected by Gamma is voltage, to obtain the signal after Gamma corrects that can be directly used in described OLED pel array.Voltage after described Gamma corrects output-stage circuit 13 correction is input to OLED pel array 2, drives described OLED pel array 2 luminous.Biasing circuit 15 provides required reference voltage for module each in driving circuit, and clock control signal produces circuit 14 for modules provides clock signal and control signal.
Particularly, as shown in Figure 2, the source voltage terminal V of the first NMOS tube MN1 described in Fig. 2 and described second NMOS tube MN2 can be obtained as calculated 1and V 2expression formula be:
V 1 = ( A d + A c m 2 ) V D A C - V G S 2 ( A d - A c m 2 + 1 ) - - - ( 1 )
V 2 = ( A d + A c m 2 ) V R E F - V G S 1 ( A d - A c m 2 + 1 ) - - - ( 2 )
Wherein, Ad is the difference mode gain of described first operational amplifier B1 and described second operational amplifier B2, and Acm is the common-mode gain of described first operational amplifier B1 and described second operational amplifier B2, V gS1and V gS2represent the gate source voltage of described first NMOS tube MN1 and described second NMOS tube MN2 respectively.
Above formula (1) above formula (2) is made difference and can be obtained:
V 1 - V 2 = ( A d + A c m 2 ) ( V D A C - V R E F ) - ( V G S 2 - V G S 1 ) ( A d - A c m 2 + 1 ) - - - ( 3 )
Due to Ad>>Acm, therefore the difference of V1 and V2 can be reduced to:
V 1-V 2≈V DAC-V REF(4)
Therefore described variable resistor R is flow through vARelectric current I rcan be expressed as:
I R = V 1 - V 2 R V A R = V D A C - V R E F R V A R - - - ( 5 )
From above formula, described variable resistor R vARvary in size, the output signal V of described linear number analog conversion circuit 12 dACwith described variable resistor R vARelectric current I rthe slope of relation curve is just different, therefore can by changing described variable resistor R in different input voltage intervals at us vARvary in size realize the piecewise linearity of input voltage to electric current.
As shown in Figure 2, suppose that the electric current ratio between the current mirror branch that is made up of described 3rd PMOS MP3, described 4th PMOS MP4, described 5th PMOS MP5 and described 6th PMOS MP6 is 1:m, electric current ratio between the current mirror branch be made up of described 3rd NMOS tube MN3, described 4th NMOS tube MN4, described 5th NMOS tube MN5 and described 6th NMOS tube NP6 is 1:n, so will be tied to form vertical just like ShiShimonoseki:
I out=nI 2=mnI 1=mn(I REF+I R)(6)
V out=V BASE+I OUTR BASE=V BASE+mn(I REF+I R)R BASE(7)
Wherein, I 1for the drain terminal electric current of described second NMOS tube MN2, I 2for the drain terminal electric current of described 6th PMOS MP6, I oUTfor the drain terminal electric current of described 5th NMOS tube MN5.
Can be calculated further:
V o u t = V C O N S T A N T + k V D A C - V R E F R V A R - - - ( 8 )
Wherein V cONSTANT=V bASE+ mnI rEFr bASE, k=mnR bASE, V cONSTANTconstant is with k.
As shown in Figure 2, by current mirroring circuit and I/V change-over circuit, we establish input voltage V dACwith output voltage V oUTbetween relation, by relational expression, we find out, by changing described variable resistor R vARresistance under different input voltages, can realize V dACand V oUTbetween non-linear conversion, thus realize Gamma correct function.
Be illustrated in figure 4 and realize the input-output curve that three sections of piecewise linear Gamma correct output-stage circuit, dotted line is the input-output curve before Gamma corrects, and solid line is the input-output curve after Gamma corrects.Work as V dACvalue be in interval V respectively x0~ V x1, V x1~ V x2, V x2~ V x3time, corresponding variable-resistance value is respectively R1, R2 and R3, because R1, R2 are different with the resistance of R3, and corresponding V dACwith V oUTbetween transformation curve slope also different, thus achieve piecewise linearity Gamma correct function.
