Description

Digital-analog hybrid drive ULED method
Technical Field

Background
The ULED is a display image quality technology processing engine developed for electronic medical display and liquid crystal televisions, adopts multi-partition independent backlight control and Hiview picture engine technology, has great improvement in the aspects of picture brightness, picture contrast, picture layering, dark field details, color accurate reduction, picture fluency and response speed compared with the traditional LED display, and has image quality shown in that a plurality of subjective evaluation data comprehensively surpass that of an OLED. The current common drivers include pure digital display driver and digital-analog hybrid display driver.
In order to realize the display capability of gamma2.2, the contrast between the highest brightness and the lowest brightness needs to be larger than 60k, i.e. at least 16 bits of resolution is needed to meet the requirement basically, but the cost is large area analog and digital requirement, and the chip area cost is greatly increased.
Referring to fig. 1, the digital-analog hybrid display driving:
(1): each Frame (Frame) was divided into multiple frames (Frame 1/2/3/. ANG.) and the open time for each Frame was 1T/2T/4T/8T/16T ….
(2): the voltages V0-VN are chosen to be linear in brightness, i.e., N is N times the brightness of 1.
(3): by using the method of the two points a/b, a plurality of combinations of display brightness can be generated
(4): in this system, we assume that under the conditions of N =9 and 5 frames, a combination of 0 to 279 can be generated, which can meet the requirement of selecting 256 display outputs in a general 8-bit display system.
The contrast ratio of this method is only 279, which is far from the basic display requirement of Gamma 2.2.
Such architecture is to meet the basic display requirements: n =256 and 9 frames are required, a faster refresh rate is required, and in general, panel is rarely supported above 5 frames, and then the requirement of N =256 will also greatly increase the chip area cost.
The shortcomings of pure digital display driving and digital-analog hybrid display driving require improvements in the ULED driving.
