Description
Technical Field
The present technology relates to an LED pixel package.
Background
Recently, in the implementation of commercial outdoor and indoor billboards, it is a trend to increase the display area and increase the resolution of the display. In addition, LEDs are employed as light emitting devices in order to achieve high luminance, high contrast, and good color reproducibility.
The necessity of using an Active Matrix (Active Matrix) array for a display using LEDs is also emerging. In this case, the control pins have an advantage that they can be greatly reduced compared to the passive matrix method by controlling the horizontal and vertical axes using active elements, instead of directly controlling the LEDs constituting the pixels. Accordingly, after the driver circuit for driving is extremely simplified, it is very advantageous to reduce the pixel size and the pixel interval, and also to reduce power consumption.
For an LED display, the narrower the gap between the LEDs, the denser the number of pixels, and the higher the brightness of the individual LEDs, the better the resolution of the display, and hence the better the image quality. Preferably, in case of implementing the LED display as an active matrix, the LED display can be more efficiently implemented in terms of physical size and cost.
For this reason, pins for power supply, data input, ground, etc. must be formed in the LED pixel package, and in addition, switch control pins for respectively activating and emitting the red LED, the green LED, and the blue LED must be formed in the LED pixel package.

The description of the present invention is merely for purposes of describing example embodiments structurally or functionally, and therefore the scope of the claims herein should not be interpreted as limited by the example embodiments described herein. That is, since various modifications may be made to the embodiments and various forms may be made, it should be understood that the scope of the present invention includes equivalents which may achieve technical spirit.
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of an LED pixel package according to the present embodiment. Referring to fig. 1, a multi-pixel package 1 according to the present embodiment includes: multi-pixel groups each including a plurality of unit pixels (P1 a, P1B, P1c, P2a, P2B, P2 c) of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) LEDs having cathodes (cathodes) connected in common; a data signal for controlling the luminance of light output by the unit pixels (P1 a, P1b, P1c, P2a, P2b, P2 c) belonging to the pixel group (200a, 200b); and a control section 100 for receiving a control signal (S _ SIG) in which a pulse train including an activation signal and a plurality of pulses is embedded (embedded) and controlling the multi-pixel group. Wherein, the control part includes: a signal separation section (110) for separating and outputting an activation signal (ON) and a pulse train (S _ OUT), respectively; charge signals (EN _1, EN _2, EN _3) activated by the activation signals, and each pixel group is controlled to charge energy to emit light from the pulse sequence; an emission control section (120) for outputting an emission signal (emission signal) to control each pixel group to emit light (emission signal) from the pulse sequence; and a pixel group control section (130) to which a charging signal (EN _1, EN _2, EN _3) is supplied to charge energy supplied as the DATA signal (DATA 1, DATA 2), and to which a control emission signal (EMI) is supplied to cause the pixel group to emit light.
Each of the unit pixels (P1 a, P1B, P1c, P2a, P2B, P2 c) includes an LED emitting R, G, and B colors, and a cathode (cathode) of the LED included in the unit pixel is electrically connected to the control part 100. As described later, a luminance control signal (icon) is supplied to the unit pixels, and the luminance of light output by the unit pixels (P1 a, P1b, P1c, P2a, P2b, P2 c) is controlled by the luminance control signal.
Among the LEDs included in the unit pixels (P1 a, P1B, P1c, P2a, P2B, P2 c), the anodes of the LEDs (R1 a, R1B, R1c, R2a, R2B, R2 c) emitting the R color are all electrically connected to provide an R control signal (VLED _ R), and the anodes of the LEDs (R1 a, R1B, R1c, R2a, R2B, R2 c) emitting the G color are all electrically connected to provide a G control signal (VLED _ G), and the anodes of the LEDs (B1 a, B1B, B1c, B2a, B2B, B2 c) emitting the B color are all electrically connected to provide a B control signal (VLED _ B).
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an overview of the control unit (100). Referring to fig. 2, the control unit 100 includes a signal separation unit 110, a light emission control unit 120, and multi-pixel group control units (130a 1,130a2,130a3,130b1,130b2,130b 3). Fig. 3A is a schematic circuit diagram of the signal separating section 110, and fig. 3B is a diagram showing an overview of the activation signal (ON) and the pulse train (S _ OUT) output by the control signal and signal separating section.
Referring to fig. 3 (a) and 3 (B), the control signal (S _ SIG) may swing (swing) between a first level, a second level, and a third level. As an example, the first level may be a ground voltage level, the third level may be a driving Voltage (VCC) level, the second level may be greater than a threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor included in the signal separator 110 but less than the third level, and may be a level less than twice the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistor.
A control signal (S SIG) is embedded in a pulse sequence comprising: an activation signal that swings between a ground voltage and a second level; and a pulse that swings between the second level and a third level as the driving Voltage (VCC).
The signal separator 110 includes: an activation signal separation circuit 112 for separating the activation signal (ON) from the control signal (S _ SIG); and a pulse train separation circuit 114 for separating the pulse train (S _ OUT) from the control signal (S _ SIG).
In the activation signal circuit 112, an inverter I1 including a resistor Ra and a transistor N1 having a threshold voltage between a first level and a second level, a schmitt trigger ST, and an inverter I2 are cascaded. The threshold voltage of the transistor N1 is greater than the first level but less than the second level. Accordingly, when the first level control signal S _ SIG is input to the inverter I1, the transistor N1 is turned off to output a logic high signal of the third level. However, if the second or third level control signal (S _ SIG) is input to the transistor N1, it is turned on. Accordingly, the inverter I1 outputs a logic low signal of the first level.
Schmitt trigger (schmitt trigger) is a circuit that does not respond to transient noise because the output response according to the magnitude and direction of the input has a hysteresis curve, and has a relatively high threshold voltage when the input rises and a relatively low threshold voltage when the input falls.
The output of the Schmitt Trigger (ST) is supplied to an inverter I2, the inverter I2 is a signal that inverts the supplied input and swings between the first level and the third level, and the output of the inverter I2 is an activation signal (ON) that controls the activation of the subsequent light emission control section 120.
The first-stage inverter I3 is connected with the ground voltage with the diode-connected NMOS transistor N3 interposed therebetween. The NMOS transistor N4 included in the inverter I3 is turned on with a voltage obtained by adding the threshold voltage of the diode-connected NMOS transistor N3 to the threshold voltage of the transistor N4.
As described above, the voltage obtained by adding the threshold voltage of N3 and the 4 threshold voltage of N is greater than the second level. Accordingly, if the control signal (S _ SIG) having the first and second levels is supplied to the inverter I3, the NMOS transistor N4 is not turned on, so that the inverter I3 outputs a logic high signal of the third level. However, if the control signal (S _ SIG) having the third level is supplied to the inverter I3, the NMOS transistor N4 is turned on, so that the inverter I3 outputs a logic low level signal of the first level. Accordingly, the pulse sequence embedded in the control signal (S _ SIG) can be separated. The inverter I4 inverts the output signal of the inverter I3 and then outputs the inverted output signal to a pulse train (S _ OUT) oscillating between the first level and the third level.
Fig. 4A is a block diagram showing an overview of the light emission control section, and fig. 4B is a schematic timing chart of signals input to and output from the light emission control section. Referring to fig. 4A and 4B, the light emission control section 120 includes: a counter (counter) 122 that counts and outputs pulses contained in the pulse signal (S _ OUT) after being activated by the activation signal (ON); and an encoder (encoder) 124 for forming and outputting charge signals (EN _1, EN _2, EN _3) and emission signals (EMI) corresponding to the multi-pixel groups 200a,200b of the counter output.
As an embodiment, when the activation signal (ON) is in a logic high state, the counter 122 counts the number of pulses included in the pulse train (S _ OUT) provided after the activation (active high) and outputs in a binary form, and when the activation signal (ON) is in a logic low state, the output is reset. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the counter may be a three-bit counter, and the counter 122, activated by an (ON) signal in a logic high state, may be reset by the activation signal after counting 001, 010, 011, 100, and 101 by incrementing 1 each time one pulse is counted from 000.
As an example, the pulse sequence (S _ OUT) may include pulses of the number of pixels included in the pixel group or more, and the number of pulses included in the pulse sequence may vary with the number of pixels included in the pixel group.
The encoder 124 may receive the output of the counter 122, and sequentially form and provide the charge signals (EN _1, EN _2, EN _3) and the emission signals (. EMI) of the unit pixels. As an example, since the output of the counter is three bits, the encoder can output eight different signals. Accordingly, seven pixel groups can be controlled by outputting one emission signal (-EMI) and seven charging signals.
In the illustrated embodiment, the transmit signal (EMI) is an output signal that is inverted from the encoder. The circuit is designed to include an inverter in the encoder 124, or the transmission signal (-EMI) may be output by connecting the output of the encoder 124 and the inverter.
Fig. 5 is a circuit diagram showing an overview of the one-pixel group control section 130. Referring to fig. 5, the charge transistor (SWD) is turned on by the charge signal (EN), and the capacitor (C) stores energy provided to the data signal (D) in the form of a voltage.
The non-inverting input of the operational amplifier is connected to the capacitor and the voltage (Vc) charged in the capacitor (C) is supplied to the non-inverting input and the inverting input is connected to the resistor. The voltage charged in the capacitor (C) is copied to the inverting input and supplied to one electrode of the resistor R.
The transmit transistor (SWE) is turned on with the transmit signal (-EMI) remaining in a logic high state. Accordingly, the output of the operational amplifier is equal to the ground potential, and the connection Transistor (TR) is turned off. Further, since a voltage charged by the capacitor (C) is supplied to one electrode of the resistor R, a luminance control signal (icon) for controlling the luminance of the pixel is supplied to the pixel through the turned-on connection Transistor (TR).
The magnitude of the luminance control signal (icon) corresponds to the voltage charged in the capacitor C, and may be represented by the following equation 1.
[ EQUATION 1 ]
The brightness of the LED is determined according to the magnitude of current supplied to the LED, and the magnitude of the brightness control signal (icon) is proportional to the voltage (Vd) charged in the capacitor according to equation 1. Accordingly, the luminance of the pixel can be controlled by controlling the magnitude of the voltage of the data signal D1 supplied to the capacitor.
Fig. 6 is a timing chart of the operation of the pixel group control section (130) according to the present embodiment shown in fig. 2. An embodiment of a multi-pixel package according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 2 and 6. The data signals D1 and D2 are supplied to each pixel belonging to the pixel group in synchronization with a pulse sequence included in the control signal (S _ SIG).
The light emission control portion 120 outputs charge signals (EN _1, EN _2, EN _3) to turn on the charge transistor, and charges the capacitor (C) with a voltage corresponding to the data signal. As shown, each pixel belonging to each pixel group may be charged with a different voltage.
When the charging of each pixel belonging to each pixel group is completed, an emission signal (-EMI) is outputted, and each pixel outputs a luminance control signal (icon), respectively, and the pixel emits light with a luminance corresponding to the luminance control signal (icon).
Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which a multi-pixel package according to the present embodiment is configured in an array and implemented as an active matrix, and fig. 8 is a timing diagram of signals provided in the multi-pixel package implemented in the active matrix. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the multi-pixel package array according to the present embodiment is supplied with the same R control signal (VLED _ R), the same G control signal (VLED _ R), and the same B control signal (VLED _ B).
In addition, in the multi-pixel package array according to the present embodiment, the same control signal (S _ SIG) and DATA1 signal (DATA 1) and the same DATA2 signal (DATA 2) are provided to the multi-pixel packages arranged in the same column.
According to the multi-pixel package in an array configuration of the present embodiment, a control signal S _ SIG [ n ] is provided for each row, and data signals of D11, D21. -, D1n, and D2n are provided for each column connected to each row and energy is charged in a capacitor. Subsequently, while the transmission of the first row is performed by the transmission signal supplied from the encoder, the programming of the second row is performed. That is, the programming of the n +1 th row is performed at the same time as the light emission of the programmed n th row.
Accordingly, the multi-pixel package array according to the present embodiment implemented by an active matrix may be controlled to supply a control signal (S _ SIG), a DATA1 signal (DATA 1), and a DATA2 signal (DATA 2) and to be charged, respectively, so as to emit light at the same time.
Fig. 9 is an exemplary timing chart when color is realized by configuring a multi-pixel package in an array according to the present embodiment. Referring to fig. 1 to 8, the LED included in each of the multi-pixel packages according to the present exemplary embodiment is electrically connected to an anode of each color to be displayed to provide a control signal of each color.
Accordingly, in a state where the luminance control signal (icon) is supplied, if the R control signal (VLED _ R) is supplied, all of the R LEDs included in the multi-pixel package emit light, if the G control signal (VLED _ G) is supplied, all of the G LEDs included in the multi-pixel package emit light, and if the B control signal (VLED _ B) is supplied, all of the B LEDs included in the multi-pixel package emit light.
Accordingly, if the R control signal (VLED _ R), the G control signal (VLED _ G), and the B control signal (VLED _ B) are alternated to such an extent that the alternating light emitting speeds of the R LED, the G LED, and the B LED cannot be recognized with the naked eye, the human recognizes them as a full color image.
