Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of flat panel display, in particular to an AMOLED display driving circuit and a driving method thereof.
Background
In recent years, AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) is increasingly used in mobile phones, tablet computers and other devices because of its advantages of ultra-thin, wide viewing angle, low power consumption, fast response speed, vivid color and the like compared with other display technologies. The AMOLED driving chip mainly comprises a row driving circuit, a column driving circuit, a power supply module, a time sequence and control module and the like, wherein the column driving circuit is a part for converting an input digital image signal into an analog signal corresponding to a gray value to drive AMOLED pixels to emit light, so that the column driving circuit has very important influence on display performance (such as resolution, uniformity, speed and the like).
The AMOLED driving method mainly includes current driving, voltage driving, and digital driving, wherein the voltage driving is currently the most common driving method. Similar to the AMLCD display driving technology, the voltage type driving is widely applied to AMOLED display driving, the voltage type driving can compensate the threshold voltage drift effect of thin film transistor TFTs by carefully designing AMOLED pixels, but the voltage type driving cannot well compensate the mobility change and the non-ideal effect such as IR drop in the pixels, and for the voltage type driving chip, because the nonlinear relation between the input voltage and the current flowing through the AMOLED pixels, Gamma correction is required in the digital-to-analog conversion, so that the circuit structure is further complicated. The threshold voltage drift of TFTs in digital driving is negligible and does not need to be compensated for within a pixel, but digital driving needs to operate at a very high clock frequency, which results in increased power consumption of the driver chip.
The current-mode driving is the most suitable driving mode for AMOLED display driving, and can effectively solve the non-ideal factors such as threshold voltage drift, mobility change, IR drop and the like. In a conventional current-type AMOLED column driving chip, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is required to convert an input Digital signal into a corresponding current value, and the current is input to a pixel as a data signal to drive the pixel to emit light. A current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC is a current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC, and as shown in fig. 1, the current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC is a 10-bit binary coding current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC, where the digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC is composed of a plurality of current sources, the number of the current sources is the same as the resolution, and in the digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC, each sub-circuit current is a binary multiple of a reference current, and the whole circuit is very simple, but the largest problem of the structure is that a large glitch is generated during the middle code conversion, and the problem can be solved by converting the coding mode of the current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC, such as thermometer coding current steering, segmented current steering, and the like, but the. More importantly, the current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC cannot realize accurate current source matching, so that errors are generated in digital-to-analog conversion, and due to thousands of digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC channels in the AMOLED column driving chip, non-uniformity among the channels is increased due to mismatching of the current sources, and further the display effect is reduced.
In summary, the current mode driving method is the most suitable driving method for AMOLED display, but the current steering digital-to-analog conversion circuit DAC adopted in the conventional current mode driving chip has the disadvantages of complex structure, high difficulty in matching degree, and the like, so that a novel conversion circuit needs to be provided to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
