Description

Silicon-based display based on fusion scanning strategy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronics and flat panel display, in particular to a silicon-based micro-display based on a fusion scanning strategy.
Background
A silicon-based microdisplay is a microdisplay that uses a silicon semiconductor integrated circuit as a substrate, and a driving circuit of the display is integrated in the silicon substrate. According to different display principles, silicon-based micro-displays can be divided into silicon-based organic light-emitting micro-displays, silicon-based light-emitting diode micro-displays, silicon-based liquid crystal micro-displays, silicon-based micro-mechanical micro-displays and the like. The pixels of the silicon-based micro display are very small, and the silicon-based micro display can generate a large-screen display effect through an optical system and can be applied to military, industrial, medical and consumer electronics. Currently, silicon-based microdisplays are evolving in the direction of higher resolution, higher gray scale levels, and higher refresh rates.
The pixel driving mode of the silicon-based micro-display can be divided into two strategies of analog amplitude modulation and digital pulse width modulation. In the analog amplitude modulation strategy, the brightness of the pixel is proportional to the voltage or current passing through the pixel, and as the display resolution and refresh rate increase, the display requires higher signal conversion speed of the digital-to-analog converter in the driving circuit and the pixel circuit, but at the same time, the analog quantity has high enough precision and high pixel brightness contrast. Compared with analog amplitude modulation, the digital pulse width modulation strategy controls the lighting time of the pixel by utilizing the duty ratio of the pixel voltage or current so as to control the brightness of the pixel, generates different gray levels, and has the advantages of high precision, low image noise, high pixel contrast, high gray level and lower requirements on circuit characteristics. However, at high resolution and high refresh rate, the digital scanning strategy requires extremely high data bandwidth, posing a higher challenge to system performance.
Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to develop a silicon-based microdisplay based on a merged scan strategy, in which two strategies, analog amplitude modulation and digital pulse width modulation, are mixed to achieve an optimal balance between required data bandwidth and precision brightness.
