The driving circuit of existing display device for example is in one-sided voltage with this earth potential that connects of 0~80V and comes driven light-emitting element.Driving circuit 100 in the present embodiment, for example use-voltage that this earth potential that connects of 40V~40V is in positive and negative both sides comes driven light-emitting element.
Level shift circuit 20 as shown in Figure 2, comprises logical circuit 20a and voltage shift circuit 20b constitutes.This level shift circuit 20 is equivalent to pulse generating circuit.In addition, among the voltage shift circuit 20b, being supplied with from the outside has high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD, AVSS, low-tension supply bias voltage DVDD, DVSS, grid bias Vp, Vn.
Among the logical circuit 20a, the gradation data of the numeral of the luminous intensity of input expression EL element.Logical circuit 20a, receive gradation data after, generate as the N raceway groove signal or the P raceway groove signal that have with pulsewidth coding (PWM) signal of the corresponding pulsewidth of gradation data.N raceway groove signal or P raceway groove signal, big more for the gray scale of the luminous intensity of EL element, as to have wide more pulsewidth signal.At this moment, under the gray scale of expression gradation data is situation more than the given threshold value, generation has the P raceway groove signal that deducts the pairing pulsewidth of value after the threshold value from the gray scale of expression gradation data, and under the gray scale of the expression gradation data situation littler, generate the N raceway groove signal of the pairing pulsewidth of gray scale with expression gradation data than threshold value.In the present embodiment, setting the threshold to 1/2 of overall intensity, generate N raceway groove signal at gradation data under than 1/2 of overall intensity little situation, is generation P raceway groove signal under the situation of overall intensity 1/2 or more at gradation data.That is, logical circuit 20a switches output N raceway groove signal and P raceway groove signal according to gradation data.
For example, under the situation that overall intensity is represented with 0~225 gray scale, as shown in Figure 3A,, generate the N raceway groove signal that has with the proportional pulsewidth of gradation data if gradation data is below 127 gray scales.N raceway groove signal is generated as comparing the signal that has pulse on the minus side with reference potential (being earthing potential in the present embodiment).Shown in Fig. 3 B,, then generate the P raceway groove signal that has and from gradation data, deduct the proportional pulsewidth of value after 127 on the other hand if pwm signal is the above pulsewidths of 128 gray scales.P raceway groove signal is generated as comparing the signal that has pulse on the positive side with reference potential (being earthing potential in the present embodiment).At this moment, the pulsewidth of N raceway groove signal and P raceway groove signal is set equal to maximum pulse width (pulsewidth that is equivalent to 127 gray scales).
Logical circuit 20a according to gradation data, generates after any one party of N raceway groove signal and P raceway groove signal, exports to N raceway groove input terminal and the P raceway groove input terminal of voltage shift circuit 20b respectively.
Voltage shift circuit 20b will rise to high pressure from the P raceway groove signal and the N raceway groove signal of logical circuit 20a output.Owing to logical circuit 20a till, constitute by logical circuit, therefore P raceway groove signal and the N raceway groove signal of exporting from logical circuit 20a, for low-voltage (for example, 0~3.3V or ± 3.3V) pulse signal.Therefore, in voltage shift circuit 20b, for the high-tension circuit to back segment drives, with the P raceway groove signal of low-voltage and N raceway groove conversion of signals be high voltage (for example ± 40V).
Among Fig. 4, the example of expression voltage shift circuit 20b.Transistor 30~33, the booster circuit of formation P raceway groove signal.The drain electrode of transistor 31, be connected between drain electrode-source electrode by transistor 30 positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD go up (for example ,+40V), the source electrode of transistor 31 is connected on the low-tension supply bias voltage DVSS (for example, earthing potential).On the grid of the transistor 30 of P channel-type, be applied in positive grid bias Vp and bring into play function as current source.On the grid of the transistor 31 of N channel-type, be transfused to P raceway groove signal.Transistor 31, the pulse of P raceway groove signal rise during be in conducting state, pulse do not rise during be in by state.Therefore, the voltage of the drain terminal of transistor 31, the pulse of P raceway groove signal rise during be maintained negative low-tension supply bias voltage DVSS substantially, pulse do not rise during be maintained positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD substantially.
The source electrode of transistor 32 is connected on the positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD, is connected negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS between the drain electrode-source electrode of the drain electrode of transistor 32 by transistor 33 (for example ,-40V).On the grid of the transistor 33 of N channel-type, be applied in negative grid bias Vn and bring into play function as current source.On the grid of the transistor 32 of P channel-type, connect the drain electrode of transistor 31, the change in voltage of drain terminal is exported as P channel high-voltage signal.That is, by the booster circuit of transistor 30~33, the P raceway groove signal of 3.3V grade is transformed to ± export behind the pulse signal of 40V grade.
Transistor 34~37, the booster circuit of formation N raceway groove signal.The drain electrode of transistor 34, be connected between drain electrode-source electrode by transistor 35 negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD go up (for example ,-40V), the source electrode of transistor 34 is connected positive low-tension supply bias voltage DVDD (for example ,+3.3V).On the grid of the transistor 35 of N channel-type, be applied in negative grid bias Vn and bring into play function as current source.On the grid of the transistor 34 of P channel-type, be transfused to N raceway groove signal.Transistor 34, the pulse of N raceway groove signal rise during be in cut-off state, pulse do not rise during be in conducting state.Therefore, the voltage of the drain terminal of transistor 34, the pulse of N raceway groove signal descend during roughly be maintained positive low power supply bias voltage DVDD, pulse do not descend during roughly be maintained negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS.
The source electrode of transistor 37 is connected on the negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS, is connected between the drain electrode-source electrode of the drain electrode of transistor 37 by transistor 36 on the positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD.On the grid of the transistor 36 of P channel-type, be applied in positive grid bias Vp and bring into play function as current source.On the grid of the transistor 37 of N channel-type, connect the drain electrode of transistor 34, the change in voltage of source terminal is used as the output of N channel high-voltage signal.That is, by the booster circuit of transistor 34~37, the N raceway groove signal of+3.3V grade is transformed to ± export behind the pulse signal of 40V grade.
That is, than threshold value under the situation of little (in the present embodiment, for 1/2 (128 gray scale) than whole 256 gray scales little), amplitude is ± pulse of 40V exported as N channel high-voltage signal by the pulsewidth with corresponding N raceway groove signal at gradation data; At gradation data is under the situation of (in the present embodiment, more than 1/2 (128 gray scale) for whole 256 gray scales) more than the threshold value, and amplitude is ± and the pulse of 40V exported as P channel high-voltage signal by the pulsewidth with corresponding P raceway groove signal.
P channel high-voltage signal and N channel high-voltage signal from level shift circuit 20 outputs are input to respectively in the grid of transistor 24 and 26.The source electrode of transistor 24 is connected on the ramp voltage VR (+), and the source electrode of transistor 26 is connected on the ramp voltage VR (-).In addition, connect the drain electrode of transistor 24 and the drain electrode of transistor 26, and tie point A is by capacitor C1 ground connection.
Ramp voltage VR (+), as shown in Figure 5, be synchronized to toward the moment of level shift circuit 20 input pwm signals, (for example from reference potential, earthing potential GND) rises and begin to boost, the time that is equivalent to the maximum pulse width of P raceway groove signal (P channel high-voltage signal) with usefulness (for example reaches maximum ramp voltage VRMAX, + 40V) mode is boosted with fixed speed.In addition, ramp voltage VR (-), as shown in Figure 6, be synchronized to toward the moment of level shift circuit 20 input pwm signals, (for example from reference potential, earthing potential GND) plays the beginning step-down, (for example ,-40V) mode is come with the fixed speed step-down to reach minimum ramp voltage VRMIN with the time of maximum pulse width that is equivalent to N raceway groove signal (N channel high-voltage signal).
Transistor 24 only is in conducting state during the pulse of P channel high-voltage signal output.In addition, transistor 26 only is in conducting state during the pulse of N channel high-voltage signal output.Therefore, under the situation of the pulse of output P channel high-voltage signal, shown in Fig. 7 A, capacitor C1 is equivalent to time of the pulsewidth of P channel high-voltage signal by ramp voltage VR (+) charging, and its charging voltage Vc is the value of corresponding pulsewidth.On the other hand, under the situation of the pulse of output N channel high-voltage signal, shown in Fig. 7 B, capacitor C1 is equivalent to time of the pulsewidth of N channel high-voltage signal by ramp voltage VR (-) charging, and its charging voltage Vc is the value of corresponding pulsewidth.
For example, at P raceway groove signal (P channel high-voltage signal) and N raceway groove signal (N channel high-voltage signal) respectively under the situation with the pulsewidth output of 128 gray scales (0~127), charging voltage Vc, for represent respectively with the resolution of 128 gray scales 0~40V or 0~-the corresponding magnitude of voltage of pulsewidth of the scope of 40V.
Circuit 22 is removed in the dead band, and the charging voltage Vc of capacitor C1 is received as output voltage, implements the removal in dead band.Among Fig. 8, the example of circuit 22 is removed in the expression dead band.
The drain electrode of transistor 38 is connected on the positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD, the source electrode of transistor 38, and the drain electrode-source electrode by transistor 39 is connected on the negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS.Be transfused to the charging voltage Vc of capacitor on the grid of transistor 38.In addition, on the grid of the transistor 39 of N channel-type, be applied in negative grid bias Vn and bring into play function as current source.
The drain electrode of transistor 41 is connected on the negative high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS, the source electrode of transistor 41, and the drain electrode-source electrode by transistor 40 is connected on the positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD.Be transfused to the charging voltage Vc of capacitor on the grid of transistor 41.In addition, on the grid of the transistor 40 of P channel-type, be applied in positive grid bias Vp and bring into play function as current source.
If charging potential Vc is positive potential, then under the effect of the transistor 41 that constitutes source follower, the variation of following charging voltage Vc, charging voltage Vc+ threshold voltage vt is used as the N raceway groove and removes the source electrode output of signal from transistor 41.On the other hand, if charging potential Vc is negative potential, then under the effect of the transistor 38 that constitutes source follower, the variation of following charging voltage Vc, charging voltage Vc-threshold voltage vt is used as the P raceway groove and removes the source electrode output of signal from transistor 38.
The N raceway groove is removed signal and is imported in the grid of transistor 28, and the P raceway groove is removed signal and is imported in the grid of transistor 29.The drain electrode of transistor 28 is connected on positive interchange (sine wave) the power supply Vsin (+), and the drain electrode of transistor 29 is connected on negative interchange (sine wave) the power supply Vsin (-).The source electrode of transistor 28 is connected with the source electrode of transistor 29, from the driving voltage V of this tie point output EL element DRV
Here, make positive interchange (sine wave) power supply Vsin (+), as shown in Figure 9, for being minimum peak voltage with reference potential (for example, earthing potential GND), (for example ,+40V) being the sine wave AC of maximum peak voltage with positive high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVDD.In addition, interchange (sine wave) the power supply Vsin (-) that order is negative, as shown in Figure 9, for be maximum peak voltage with reference potential (for example, earthing potential GND), (for example ,-40V) being the sine wave AC of minimum peak voltage with the high-voltage power supply bias voltage AVSS that bears.
Transistor 29, according to the variation that the P raceway groove is removed signal, output is removed signal+threshold voltage vt, is the corresponding driving voltage V of charging voltage Vc with the P raceway groove DRVOn the other hand, transistor 28, according to the variation that the N raceway groove is removed signal, output is removed signal-threshold voltage vt, is the corresponding driving voltage V of charging voltage Vc with the N raceway groove DRV
Here, owing to the threshold voltage V of the pressure drop that causes because of transistor 28 by transistor 41 TCompensation, the pressure drop that causes because of transistor 29 is by the threshold voltage V of transistor 38 TCompensation, therefore, there be not " dead band " in the output of driving circuit 100.
Thereby, as shown in figure 10, impose on the voltage Vrow of row electrode lines Lrow and the driving voltage V that relative datum current potential (earthing potential) vibrates on positive and negative polarities DRVPotential difference (PD), with Δ V MINTo Δ V MAXScope, be applied on the chosen EL element that is connected on the row electrode lines Lrow.By this potential difference (PD), light-emitting component is luminous with the luminous intensity corresponding to gradation data.On the other hand, as shown in figure 11, the driving voltage V that on positive and negative polarities, vibrates with relative datum current potential (earthing potential) DRVPotential difference (PD), being applied in does not have on the selecteed EL element that is connected on the row electrode lines Lrow.Thereby, can make compared with the past can obviously prolongation of life-span of EL element.
In addition, owing to come controlling and driving voltage V with two side drives with both positive and negative polarity DRV, therefore positive and negative only need possess the resolution littler than overall intensity in separately and get final product.For example, set the threshold under 1/2 the situation of overall intensity, only need possess 1/2 resolution in each polarity and get final product.Overall intensity is 256 gray scales, threshold value under its half 128 the situation, as long as positive side has the resolution that resolution, the minus side of 128 gray scales have 128 gray scales as embodiments of the present invention.Therefore, in logical circuit 20a, generate N raceway groove signal and P raceway groove signal gets final product, compared with the pastly can shorten the time that spends in the counting with the resolution of countings such as counter 0~127.Thereby, can realize the high speed of controlling.
Have again, at driving voltage V DRVOn applied under the situation of any external changes such as surge, even transmit external change, also can remove the transistor 38,41 of circuit 22 by the dead band by the stray capacitance of transistor 28,29, external change is dwindled influence and degree that capacitor C1 causes.
In addition, driving circuit 100 as shown in figure 12, can comprise usefulness is reclaimed in the energy recovery that is used for that EL element is accumulated to the electric energy in the power supply diode D1, D2.Like this, as shown in Figure 9, T during the driving of following EL element DRVPayback period between T RCVIn, the energy recovery of accumulating in the EL element can be arrived among AC power Vsin (+) or the Vsin (-).At this moment, preferred driving circuit 100 possesses diode D3~D6 that the electric energy that is used for the high efficiente callback electric energy reclaims usefulness.For example, accumulated in the electric capacity of EL element under positive voltage (electric charge) situation, when electric energy reclaimed, this electric charge flowed into AC power Vsin (+) by diode D1.At this moment, though charge stored flows into AC power Vsin (+) too in the capacitor C 1, the terminal voltage Vc of capacitor C 1 is the voltage that exceeds the voltage between terminals of diode D3, D4 than AC power Vsin (+).Thereby the transistor 29 of P raceway groove is a cut-off state, can the high efficiente callback electric energy.Equally, accumulate in the electric capacity of EL element under the situation that negative voltage (electric charge) arranged, because of the effect of diode D5, D6, transistor 28 is a cut-off state, and electric energy is recovered among the AC power Vsin (-) efficiently.
Have again, in the present embodiment,, be not limited thereto though be that example is illustrated display device with inorganic EL display device.So long as utilize the display device that applies the element that voltage can be luminous by dipolar, all within applicable object scope of the present invention.Wherein, in this scope that applies voltage of inorganic EL display device is in display device about tens of V, by implementing two positive and negative side drives, in the life-span that prolongs light-emitting component, the effect that suppresses on the element that comprises in the driving circuit necessary withstand voltage etc. is remarkable.
As mentioned above, according to present embodiment,, can prolong the life-span of light-emitting component by light-emitting component being carried out two side drives with driving voltage with positive and negative polarities.In addition, use dipolar both sides type of drive, can realize the high speed of controlling by adopting.Have again, can dwindle the influence that the external change of driving voltage causes.
