Specific embodiment
As described in the background art, processing logic of the existing signal acquisition method when carrying out null clear operation to pixel needs It improves.
Specifically, the signal acquisition circuit 1 of imaging sensor may include pixel array 10, sweep with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 It retouches line control circuit 15 and signal reads chip 16 (Readout IC, abbreviation ROIC).Wherein, have in the pixel array 10 Multiple data lines 11 and multi-strip scanning line 12, data line 11 and scan line 12 limit the grid of array arrangement one by one, grid Region is corresponding to have pixel 13.
Further, the pixel 13 includes at least one pixel switch 131 and at least one sensor devices 132.Its In, the pixel switch 131 is usually thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin Film Transistor, abbreviation TFT) device, sensor devices 132, for collecting externally input optical signal and being converted into electric signal, are then store in corresponding pixel 13.With every in Fig. 2 One pixel 13 for a pixel switch 131 and a sensor devices 132 comprising being shown.
In Fig. 2, the sensor devices 132 are photodiode.The photodiode includes PIN junction amorphous silicon photoelectricity two Pole pipe, PN junction amorphous silicon photodiodes, PIN junction low-temperature polysilicon silicon photoelectric diode, PN junction low-temperature polysilicon silicon photoelectric diode, PIN junction organic matter photodiode or PN junction organic matter photodiode etc..
Specifically, the scan line 12 can control the opening and closing of the pixel switch 131 of every a line, the data line The drain electrode (or source electrode) of the pixel switch 131 of the 11 each column of connection;One end of the sensor devices 132 connects the pixel switch 131 source electrode (or drain electrode), the other end of the sensor devices 132 is commonly connected to a public electrode 17.
When carrying out signal acquisition, reverse biased is applied to the sensor devices 132 by the public electrode 17.
It is described under reverse bias condition when being connected under control of the pixel switch 131 in the scan line 12 of coupling Electric signal in sensor devices 132 can be transmitted on the data line 11 of coupling, and then be transmitted to signal reading by data line 11 Chip 16 realizes signal acquisition out.
Further, the scan line 12 is controlled by the driving circuit such as scanning line control circuit 15 of periphery, to realize picture The unlatching line by line of plain switch 131 is read the signal that capable pixel 13 is turned in each column by signal reading chip 16.
Fig. 3 shows corresponding driver' s timing figure (driving when signal acquisition circuit is using existing signal acquisition method in Fig. 2 Timing includes the driver' s timing of scan line 12 and the driver' s timing of signal reading chip 16), (Fig. 3 is swept each scan line 12 in showing It is not shown in FIG. 2 to retouch line 12c) timing control pixel array 10 as shown in Figure 3 is connected line by line.Wherein, the drive of scan line 12a The dynamic time, the driving time of scan line 12b was before the driving time of scan line 12c before the driving time of scan line 12b. And signal reads the correspondence of chip 16 and carries out signal acquisition line by line.Signal reads each channel of chip 16 and is connected on data line 11, institute Chip 16 is read by signal with the potential value of each data line 11 to set.Public electrode potential value is public electrode in Fig. 2 in Fig. 3 The potential value applied on 17.When each pixel is opened, the difference of the potential value of the potential value of public electrode 17 and each data line 11 is just determined The biased voltage value for being applied to each photodiode 132 is determined.
As shown in Fig. 2, the anode of photodiode 132 is all connected to public electrode 17, photodiode in being normally applied 132 cathode is connected respectively to each pixel switch 131.When each row pixel is opened, when the potential value of public electrode 17 is higher than When the potential value of each data line 11, photodiode 132 is just applied positive voltage, that is, is in forward bias.When each row pixel quilt When opening, when the potential value of public electrode 17 is lower than the potential value of each data line 11, photodiode 132 is just applied negative electricity Pressure is in reverse biased.
In being typically designed, for facilitating chip design, circuit noise is reduced, signal reads the electricity of each input channel of chip 16 Position is in a fixed value, so that the current potential that data line 11 is arranged is in a fixed value.So just needing public by setting The potential value of electrode 17 determines photodiode 132 is applied in each pixel bias value.That is the bias of photodiode 132 17 potential values of=public electrode-data line 11 potential value.
In practical applications, due to the electric leakage of photodiode (dark current) and the incidence of environment light, beginning to use When imaging sensor carries out Image Acquisition, each pixel 13 can have useless charge (in such as sensor devices 132 and on electrode). It is then desired to empty processing to each pixel 13 before acquisition signal every time.
Specifically, each signal acquisition periods of existing signal acquisition method all include: one and empty frame and a signal Read frame.Wherein, the timing for emptying frame and signal reading frame is just the same, and the two difference is: emptying in frame, each pixel 13 Signal read after, data will not retain, directly discarding.As a result, by emptying the opening line by line of frame, the remaining of pixel 13 Signal is read, and realization empties.
Every one-row pixels 13 are exactly every one-row pixels 13 at the interval for emptying the time being opened in frame and signal reading frame Time for exposure.As it can be seen that the beginning and end point of the time for exposure of every row pixel 13 is different, but time span is the same.
Present inventor the analysis found that, when using signal acquisition method shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, if pixel 13 Interior remaining signal itself is more, and sensor devices 132 are in a saturated state, and Fig. 4 needs continuous multiple frames by taking scan line 12a as an example It empties the charge in that a line sensor devices 132 that frame could couple scan line 12a to discharge completely, then be read again in signal Start really to adopt graphic operation in frame.
Due to that in actual use, can not determine the power of the environment light of imaging sensor local environment.So can not be true Surely the specific frame number of frame is emptied, the signal being also just unable to ensure in each pixel 13 can be emptied thoroughly.
If emptying the on the low side of the frame number setting of frame, it just will appear the uncertain phenomenon of residual signal in pixel 13.It is specific and Speech, if environmental light intensity, the charge in sensor devices 132 is with regard to remaining more, if environment light is weak, in sensor devices 132 Charge with regard to remaining few.
More seriously, before starting acquisition, if some pixels 13 are by strong illumination, there are many signal residual, and For some pixels 13 by low light irradiation, signal residual is fewer.In this case, if emptying the on the low side of frame number setting, it may appear that each The non-uniform phenomenon of 13 residual signal of pixel, can seriously affect last image effect.
Thus, to ensure no matter the power of environment light can empty the signal in pixel 13 completely, existing one Just need in signal acquisition periods to empty frame, such as 50 frames using more as far as possible, just can ensure that so whenever (no matter environment Light intensity or environment light are weak) charge in sensor devices 132 can empty as far as possible, and remaining charge is all than seldom in other words.
Increase the frame number for emptying frame due to using and empty mode, causes the collection period of existing signal acquisition method whole Body is partially long.
In order to shorten signal acquisition periods, while guaranteeing emptying effect, the embodiment of the present invention provides the letter of imaging sensor Number acquisition method, described image sensor include multiple pixels of array arrangement, and each pixel includes two pole of photoelectricity Pipe, the signal acquisition method includes: to carry out signal acquisition line by line to the multiple pixel in each signal acquisition periods, The signal acquisition periods include at least one reset frame and at least one empties frame, wherein in each reset frame, to The photodiode of collected each pixel applies forward bias;It is each it is described empty in frame, to collected every The photodiode of one pixel applies reverse biased.
Thereby, it is possible to while shortening signal acquisition periods, it is ensured that preferably emptying effect, and eliminate environment light at The influence of picture.Specifically, it in the reset frame, can be equivalent to each photodiode of strong illumination, to pass through reset The original state of each photodiode is adjusted consistent (i.e. signal is than more consistent) by frame, eliminates history illumination, environment light and each Influence of the component variations of photodiode itself to residual charge.Further, ensure that each photodiode exists by emptying frame The charge generated in reset frame can effectively be emptied (at least a big chunk charge is emptied).As a result, by reset frame and The cooperation for emptying frame can be improved the Image Acquisition precision of described image sensor, it is ensured that the one of each acquired image Cause property.
It is understandable to enable above-mentioned purpose of the invention, feature and beneficial effect to become apparent, with reference to the accompanying drawing to this The specific embodiment of invention is described in detail.
