Embodiment
Now cooperate icon that pixel cell of the present invention and driving method thereof are described in detail in detail, and enumerate preferred embodiment the application mode of this pixel cell in flat-panel screens such as LCD or organic electro-luminescent display is described.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A, is to be applied in the LCD for pixel cell of the present invention.Pixel cell 20 comprises at least one data line 21, at least one sweep trace 22, at least one Nonvolatile memory 23, at least one storage capacitors 24 and at least one liquid crystal capacitance 25.Sweep trace 22 is electrically connected to the gate terminal G of Nonvolatile memory 23.Data line 21 is electrically connected to the source/drain electrode end S of Nonvolatile memory 23.Another source/drain electrode end D of Nonvolatile memory 23 then is electrically connected to a storage capacitors 24 and a liquid crystal layer (not icon) by a pixel electrode (not icon).The other end of storage capacitors 24 is provided a reference potential Vref1, and the difference of itself and source/drain electrode end D current potential forms an electric capacity current potential.Source/drain electrode end D current potential is accepted on one surface of this liquid crystal layer, and another surface of liquid crystal layer then is provided another reference potential Vref2, and forms the function as electric capacity, is called liquid crystal capacitance 25.Herein, reference potential Vref1 and Vref2 can be identical, or inequality, also can ground connection and form zero potential.
Nonvolatile memory 23 is that with the static random access memory difference Nonvolatile memory 23 does not disappear with power supply and changes its storage data state, but static random access memory can disappear along with power supply, and its storage data all can be lost.Based on above-mentioned characteristic, the present invention uses Nonvolatile memory 23, electronic type ROM (read-only memory) (the electrically erasable programmableread-only memory that can erase/write for example, EEPROM), flash memory (flash memory) or similar internal memory, to replace the driving component of existing thin film transistor (TFT) as pixel cell.Especially, when flat-panel screens showed a tableaux, chip for driving no longer needed repeatedly to transmit same image information to each pixel cell.Therefore can save the required electric energy of chip for driving operation.
Pixel cell 20 specifically to make flowing mode as follows.Under general modfel, the operation of Nonvolatile memory 23 just as thin film transistor (TFT), establishing starting potential at this moment is Vth1.If when switching to static battery saving mode, then between grid and source/drain electrode, form a voltage difference with the starting potential Vth1 that erases.Similarly, forming another voltage difference between grid and source/drain electrode to write in the floating gate (floating gate) of a predetermined voltage at Nonvolatile memory 23 again, for example FN wears tunnel mechanism (FN tunning).The starting potential that so can change Nonvolatile memory 23 is Vth2.
In flat-panel screens, see through the writing mechanism of above-mentioned starting potential Vth, can make the Nonvolatile memory 23 of each pixel cell 20 have different starting potential Vth, and make storage capacitors 24 have different electric capacity current potentials.When storage capacitors 24 charging, provide scan voltage Vscan to all sweep traces 22 of flat-panel screens, and provide a data voltage Vdata all data lines 21.As (the Vdata>Vscan) of data voltage during greater than scanning voltage.At this moment, hypothetical reference current potential Vref1 is zero, and then the charging voltage of storage capacitors 24 equals the pressure reduction (Vscan-Vth) of scanning voltage and starting potential.When needing frame update, the starting potential of erasing once more; If do not need frame update, then make scanning voltage Vscan and data voltage Vdata maintain a steady state (SS) and get final product.
Magnitude relationship for data voltage Vdata and scanning voltage Vscan is described as follows.As data voltage Vdata during less than " difference of scanning voltage Vscan and starting potential Vth ", the charging voltage of storage capacitors 24 equals data voltage Vdata.Under this situation,,, can't show the GTG brightness that different pixels sets so the electric capacity current potential of all pixels is identical because static battery saving mode provides the identical data voltage Vdata of all pixel cells.As data voltage Vdata during greater than scanning voltage Vscan, the charging voltage of storage capacitors 24 then is fixed on the situation of maximal value " Vscan-Vth ", so can utilize the adjustment starting potential, reaches the demonstration of different GTGs.
Please refer to Fig. 2 B, is to be example with three pixel cell 20a, 20b in the LCD and 20c, and operating result of the present invention is described.Suppose to utilize earlier starting potential that said method changes Nonvolatile memory 231 to be 2.5V, and the starting potential of Nonvolatile memory 233 is 0V for the starting potential of 5V, Nonvolatile memory 232.Provide the data voltage of 8V and the scanning voltage of 5V to whole liquid crystal panel.At this moment, factor greater than scanning voltage Vscan, is respectively 0V, 2.5V and 5V so the charging voltage of storage capacitors 241,242 and 243 is calculated with " Vscan-Vth " according to voltage Vdata, and represent pixel electrode 201,202 and 203 current potential also are 0V, 2.5V and 5V.If if the reference potential Vref2 of liquid crystal layer 25a equals zero or ground connection, then the operating voltage of pixel cell 20a becomes 0V, the operating voltage of pixel cell 20b becomes 2.5V, and the operating voltage of pixel cell 20c becomes 5V.Thus, Nonvolatile memory is with the starting potential of change, and the burning voltage on collocation data line and the sweep trace can produce multiple GTG brightness, and the power consumption when saving tableaux and showing.
