The external power supply circuit 101 is used to supply additional positive voltage Vout + and negative voltage Vout-to the display driving circuit 102. The display driving circuit 102 thereby drives the display panel 103.
When the current oled panel module performs an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) test, the screen occasionally becomes abnormal, for example, the whole screen has no output and appears as a black screen. The main reason for this is that the display driving Circuit 102 draws a large current, which causes the external power supply Circuit 101 to start a Short Circuit Protection mechanism (Short Circuit Protection), resulting in the voltage (Vout +/Vout-) output abnormality. When the external power supply circuit 101 enters into protection, after the abnormal image (black screen) occurs, the abnormal image will not be recovered continuously, and the abnormal image is not acceptable in the product.
Therefore, there is a need for a new and improved panel module, display driver ic and method for restarting abnormal voltages thereof that can avoid the above-mentioned problems.

Detailed Description
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a panel module according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 2, the panel module includes a display panel 20, a power supply circuit 21 and a display driver ic 22. In this embodiment, the OLED panel module is also taken as an example, so the display driver IC 22 needs an additional power supply circuit 21 to supply the display driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-). Furthermore, compared to the driving structure of the organic light emitting diode panel in the prior art, in this embodiment, a reset signal CTRL is additionally added to the display driving ic 22 for controlling the power supply circuit 21.
FIG. 3 is a diagram of a display driver IC according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 3, the display driver ic 22 includes a data driver circuit 301, a voltage determining/resetting circuit 302, and a counter circuit 303. Similarly, the display driver IC 22 receives the display driver power supply voltage (Vout +/Vout-) from the external power supply circuit 21. Furthermore, since the power supply circuit externally connected to the oled panel is usually used to simply provide the display driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-), and there is no restart mechanism, those skilled in the art can choose to use a power driving ic capable of being restarted, receive the restart signal CTRL, and control the external power supply circuit 21 to restart. One skilled in the art may also choose to couple a switch between the power input of the power driver ic and the battery voltage Vbattery and control the switch with the restart signal CTRL to implement a power restart.
The data driving circuit 301 is coupled to data lines Sout0 to Sout1080 of the display panel for driving the display panel 20. The voltage determining/resetting circuit 302 is coupled to the external power supply circuit, receives the display driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-), and detects whether the magnitude of the display driving power voltage is outside the rated voltage range. For example, whether the positive driving power voltage Vout + is lower than (3V), and whether the negative driving power voltage Vout-is greater than (-1). When the display driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-) is outside the rated voltage range, the voltage determining/resetting circuit 302 outputs a reset signal CTRL to perform a reset procedure of the power supply circuit 21, and outputs a count signal Cnt to the internal counting circuit 303. The counting circuit 303 is coupled to the voltage determining/resetting circuit 302 and receives the counting signal Cnt, wherein a predetermined value (generally 1) is added to a counting value as the counting value every time the counting signal Cnt is received.
Generally, when an electrostatic discharge (ESD) test is performed, the voltage output of the external power supply circuit 21 is not normal, and further the power supply circuit 21 enters short-circuit protection, and the power supply circuit 21 is in a normal state, and the circuit is not damaged. At this time, the voltage determination/reset circuit 302 outputs the reset signal CTRL to reset the power supply circuit 21, so that the power supply circuit 21 can operate normally, and the driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-) is restored to normal.
If the external power supply circuit 21 is supposed to be damaged, the power supply circuit 21 cannot be normally woken up by the restart signal CTRL. The internal counting circuit 303 continuously receives the counting signal Cnt, accumulates the counting value, and when the counting value is greater than a threshold value, it indicates that the number of reboots reaches a certain number, and at this time, it can be determined that the power supply circuit 21 cannot normally operate, and then the reboots is stopped, and the shutdown procedure is performed.
Fig. 4 is a waveform diagram illustrating the operation of the panel module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 4, at startup, the sleep start signal Slp _ out goes from low to high, indicating startup or the machine going from the sleep mode to the normal mode. The restart signal CTRL starts to start the external power supply circuit 21. When the display driving power voltage Vout is abnormal, the display driving power voltage detection signal Vout ld Detect is converted from a low voltage to a high voltage, and the restart signal CTRL is converted from a high voltage to a low voltage, and the discharge is performed first, and then the restart procedure is performed.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for restarting an abnormal voltage of a driver IC according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, the method for restarting the abnormal voltage of the display driver ic includes the following steps:
step S501: and starting. The normal display mode is started.
Step S502: whether the display driving power supply voltage (Vout +/Vout-) is out of a rated voltage range is judged. If the determination in step S502 is no, step S502 is repeated to continue the determination. If yes in step S502, the process proceeds to step S503.
Step S503: it is determined whether or not the power supply Voltage (VCI) of the display drive integrated circuit 22 is abnormal. The display driving power supply voltage (Vout +/Vout-) abnormality may be caused by an abnormality of the entire power supply voltage in addition to the entry protection. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, a determination step is added to check whether the other power domain is abnormal, so as to ensure that the determination result of step S502 is not abnormal display driving power voltage (Vout +/Vout-) caused by abnormal overall power supply. If the judgment in the step S503 is negative, the step S504 is entered; if the determination in step S503 is yes, the process proceeds to step S506.
Step S504: and judging whether the count value is larger than a threshold value. If it is determined not to be the case, the process proceeds to step S505, and if it is determined to be the case, the process proceeds to step S506.
Step S505: the external power supply circuit 21 is restarted and a default value is added to the count value as the above count value. And returns to step S502 to continue the judgment.
Step S506: and entering a shutdown program. In step S503, since the power abnormality also occurs in the other power domain, the shutdown procedure is performed within a possible range. In step S504, if the count value is greater than the threshold value, it indicates that the method of the embodiment of the present invention has been restarted many times enough, and the external power supply circuit 21 still cannot be started enough to determine that the external power supply circuit 21 may be abnormal, so that the shutdown procedure is performed.
Step S507: and (6) ending.
In the step flow chart of fig. 5 in the above embodiment, step S503 is, for example, a step that can be designed and selected, and therefore, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the step flow chart of fig. 5 can also be simplified to the step flow chart of fig. 6. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for restarting an abnormal voltage of a driver IC according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. The difference between fig. 6 and fig. 5 lies in that step S503 is deleted, that is, in this embodiment, the determination result of step S502 is not confirmed, and the remaining steps are similar to those described above, and therefore are not described in detail again.
In summary, the spirit of the present invention is to utilize an additional control mechanism, when the power supply is abnormal, the power supply is restarted and controlled by the counter for the number of times, if the power supply is restarted, the power supply is recovered to normal, which means that the external power supply module is not damaged, and only is a false trigger protection during the static test, so that the power supply can be used continuously. If the external power supply module is restarted for a plurality of times, the power supply can not be recovered to be normal, and the external power supply module is in a state of going out. Therefore, the product is prevented from being bad due to circuit misjudgment, and meanwhile, the product is protected from accidents.
The detailed description of the preferred embodiments is provided only for the convenience of illustrating the technical contents of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments in a narrow sense, and various modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope of the following claims are included in the scope of the present invention.
