As described in the background, the DDIC of the prior art has a problem of high power consumption. The application scenario and the working process of the DDIC will be briefly described below.
As shown in fig. 1, the display driver chip (DDIC) 100 includes an interface (interface) 10, a power module (power) 20, a Random Access Memory (RAM) 30, and a driver module 40, where the power module 20 and the Memory 30 are respectively connected to the interface 10, and the driver module 40 is respectively connected to the power module 20 and the Memory 30. The driving module 40 includes a Timing Controller (TCON), a source driver (source driver) or a data driver (data driver), and a Gate driver (Gate on Array, GOA).
The DDIC 100 is connected to a Power Integrated Circuit (Power management chip) 200, a Panel (display Panel or display module) 300, and an Application Processor (AP) 400, respectively. Power IC 200 provides supply voltage AVDD for DDIC 100. The power module 20 receives the power voltage AVDD through the interface 10 and generates the minimum gamma voltage VGSP and the maximum gamma voltage VGMP to the driving module 40.
When displaying an image, AP 400 inputs data of the display image to DDIC 100. Data is input into the DDIC 100 through the interface 10, and may be directly stored in the memory 30, or the data may be compressed first and then stored in the memory 30. The driving module 40 calls the data in the memory 30 to perform compensation (demura) and gamma correction (gamma), generates a data voltage between the minimum gamma voltage VGSP and the maximum gamma voltage VGMP according to the obtained data, and drives the Panel 300 to display an image.
When the brightness is adjusted, if PWM dimming is adopted, the minimum gamma voltage VGSP and the maximum gamma voltage VGMP are subjected to pulse modulation, and then the data voltage with the corresponding duty ratio is obtained. If the DC dimming is adopted, the voltage magnitudes of the minimum gamma voltage VGSP and the maximum gamma voltage VGMP are changed, and then the data voltage with the corresponding magnitudes is obtained.
The number of pulses (pulse) in the DC dimming is one, and the number of pulses in the PWM dimming is plural. The larger the number of pulses in PWM dimming, the weaker the flicker feeling of the display screen, and the better the use feeling. In order to ensure that the display screen has better use feeling, the number of pulse numbers during PWM dimming can be set to 32 at present, and the difference between the number of pulse numbers during DC dimming is more. Since the larger the number of pulses, the higher the required maximum gamma voltage VGMP during PWM dimming than the required maximum gamma voltage VGMP during DC dimming, as shown in table one below:
watch 1
Figure BDA0003408925940000081
In the related art, the DDIC sends a switch signal to the Power IC, where the switch signal carries the number of pulses set by PWM dimming. The Power IC provides Power supply voltage AVDD for the DDIC according to the maximum gamma voltage VGMP required during PWM dimming based on the pulse number set by PWM dimming in the switch signal. Based on the power supply voltage AVDD, DDIC can generate a large maximum gamma voltage VGMP during PWM dimming and a small maximum gamma voltage VGMP during DC dimming.
However, the supply voltage AVDD provided in this way is high, and the maximum gamma voltage VGMP required for DC dimming can be generated based on the low supply voltage AVDD, which causes high power consumption of the DDIC.
Based on the reasons, the invention provides a display driving device, a display driving system and a display driving method. The power management chip provides power voltage for the display driving chip according to the power voltage target value, and the display driving chip generates a data voltage signal for driving the display module according to the target dimming mode so as to control the brightness of the display module. Therefore, the power management chip provides the matched power supply voltage for the display driving chip according to the dimming mode adopted by the display driving chip, the maximum gamma voltage VGMP required by the generation of the display driving chip is not influenced, and the power consumption of the display driving chip can be saved.
The display driving apparatus, system and method provided by the present invention are suitable for various display apparatuses, including but not limited to OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screens, such as PMOLED (Passive matrix OLED) display screens, AMOLED (Active-matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screens. The display driving device, the display driving system and the display driving method are also suitable for terminal equipment with the display device, such as electronic equipment such as mobile phones and tablet computers.
For ease of understanding, some concepts are described below:
the Display Driver Integrated Circuit (DDIC) mainly functions to control the Display module to Display images.
The Power management chip, power Integrated Circuit, abbreviated as Power IC, provides a supply voltage AVDD for the DDIC based on the requirements of the DDIC.
And PWM dimming is used for changing the brightness of the display screen by adjusting the proportion of alternately bright and dark of the display screen.
And DC dimming, wherein the brightness of the display screen is changed by using the power of the lifting circuit.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, there is provided a display driving apparatus including: a voltage setting module 101 and a driving module 102. The voltage setting module 101 is configured to receive the brightness adjustment signal, determine a target dimming mode of the display module, determine a power supply voltage target value based on the target dimming mode, and send the power supply voltage target value to the power management chip 200. The driving module 102 is configured to generate a data voltage signal for driving the display module according to a target dimming manner when the power management chip 200 provides a power voltage according to a power voltage target value, so as to control the brightness of the display module.
In the display driving apparatus, the voltage setting module 101 receives the brightness adjustment signal, determines a target dimming mode of the display module, determines a power voltage target value based on the target dimming mode, and sends the power voltage target value to the power management chip 200, so that the power management chip 200 can set the power voltage target value according to the dimming mode adopted by the display driving signal and inform the power management chip 200 of the power voltage target value, so that the power management chip 200 provides the power voltage according to the power voltage target value. At this time, the driving module 102 generates a data voltage signal for driving the display module according to the target dimming manner to control the brightness of the display module, which does not affect the display driving chip 100 to control the display module to display the image, and can also save the power consumption of the display driving chip 100.
Illustratively, the target dimming manner is PWM dimming or DC dimming.
The difference between the power supply voltage AVDD required for PWM dimming and the power supply voltage AVDD required for DC dimming is large, and the power supply voltage can be provided for the display driver chip 100 according to whether the target dimming mode is PWM dimming or DC dimming, so that the generation of the required maximum gamma voltage VGMP by the display driver chip 100 is not influenced, and the power consumption of the display driver chip 100 can be saved.
In practical applications, the brightness adjustment signal is sent from the application processor to the display driver chip 100.
Illustratively, the application processor is provided with a human-computer interaction interface, such as a brightness bar for providing brightness adjustment, and the target brightness can be set by adjusting the position of a light spot on the brightness bar by a user. The application processor carries the target brightness set by the user in brightness adjustment and sends the target brightness to the display driver chip 100.
In one embodiment, the brightness adjustment signal carries a target brightness of the display module.
Accordingly, the voltage setting module 101 is configured to obtain the target brightness of the display module from the brightness adjustment signal, and determine the target dimming mode of the display module based on the target brightness of the display module.
Specifically, the voltage setting module 101 is configured to determine that the target dimming manner is PWM dimming when the target brightness is less than the brightness threshold; when the target brightness is greater than or equal to the brightness threshold, the target dimming manner is determined to be DC dimming.
For example, when the luminance value DBV =3500 is larger than the luminance threshold, the target dimming method is PWM dimming, and the corresponding power supply voltage target value AVDD =6.9V. For example, when the brightness value DBV =100 is smaller than the brightness threshold, the target dimming mode is DC dimming, and the corresponding power supply voltage target value AVDD =7.6V.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises at least two first registers 103. The at least two first registers 103 are respectively connected to the voltage setting module 101. The at least two first registers 103 correspond to various dimming modes of the display module one to one. Each of the first registers 103 stores therein a power supply voltage value.
Accordingly, the voltage setting module 101 is configured to determine the first register 103 corresponding to the target dimming mode, and obtain the power supply voltage value from the determined first register 103 as the power supply voltage target value.
The plurality of first registers 103 are additionally arranged to store the power supply voltage target values corresponding to different dimming modes respectively, so that after the target dimming mode of the display module is determined, the power supply voltage value stored in the corresponding first register 103 is obtained and can be used as the power supply voltage target value. The target value of the power supply voltage can change along with the target dimming mode of the display module, so that the brightness of the display module can be adjusted, and the waste of power consumption can not be caused. And the target value of the power supply voltage is simple and convenient to obtain.
For example, the target values AVDD of the power supply voltage stored in the first register 103 corresponding to different dimming modes are as shown in the following table two:
watch two
Light modulation mode AVDD
DC dimming 6.9
PWM dimming 7.6
Assuming that the operating current of the display driver chip is 30mA, the power consumption of the display driver chip in the related art during DC dimming is 7.6v 30ma =228mw, and the power consumption of the display driver chip in this embodiment during DC dimming is 6.9v 30ma =207mw, which saves the power consumption of the display driver chip by about 20 mw.
In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the apparatus further comprises a second register 104. The second register 104 is connected to the voltage setting module, and the second register 104 stores a set voltage value.
