EXAMPLE five
The structure of the LED driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 2 to 10.
In one embodiment, a Micro-LED array with a driving pixel density of 5000ppi and a resolution of 1920x1080 is taken as an example. Each LED chip in the Micro-LED array is connected to an LED driver circuit as shown in fig. 2.
The column scanning circuit in the LED driving circuit of the Micro-LED array is composed of 20 column scanning sub-circuits as shown in fig. 3, each column scanning sub-circuit includes 96 column scanning modules 40, and there are 96 shift registers and 96 latches. In each column scanning sub-circuit, the clock signal terminals C of all the shift registers (diff 1-diffn) are connected with a first clock signal CLK _ D; the clock signal end C1 of all the latches (diff _ d 1-diff _ dn) is connected with the second clock signal CLK _ L; the Data input terminal D of the shift register diff1 of the 1 st column scan block 40 is connected to the column control signal Data, and the Data input terminal D of the shift register diffi of the i-th column scan block 40 is connected to the Data output terminal of the shift register diffi-1 of the i-1 st column scan block (2 < i < 95). Each column scanning sub-circuit has a corresponding column control signal Data, and the column scanning circuits have 20 column control signals Data, which are recorded as Da <1:20 >. Each column scanning sub-circuit outputs 96 first column driving signals Data1 to Data96, 96 first column driving signals Data _1 to Data _96 are obtained after the input of an inverter, and a column scanning circuit composed of 20 column scanning sub-circuits outputs 1920 first column driving signals and the first column driving signals.
When the column scanning sub-circuit works, the rising edge of the first clock signal CLK _ D samples the column control signal Data, 1 is added to the rising edge of the first clock signal CLK _ D, and the column control signal Data is shifted from the shift register diffi to diffi +1 by 1, so that the first-in first-out operation is realized. Every 96 rising edges, the column scanning subcircuit finishes sampling 96-bit data, the 96-bit data is recorded as D <1:96> from left to right, and the data D <1:96> is temporarily stored at the output of each latch of the shift register until the next rising edge of the first clock signal CLK _ D. The rising edge of the second clock signal CLK _ L latches the 96-bit data D <1:96> registered by the shift register to the output of the latch to obtain the corresponding first column driving signal, which is recorded as data <1:96> from left to right until the next rising edge of the second clock signal CLK _ L. The timing diagram of the column scanning sub-circuit is shown in fig. 8.
Since the 20 column scan sub-circuits share the first clock signal CLK _ D and the second clock signal CLK _ L, 96 rising edges of the first clock signal CLK _ D complete data sampling from the 1 st column to the 1920 columns, and 1 rising edge of the second clock signal CLK _ L stores the sampled data of the 1 st column to the 1920 columns at the output of the latch.
The row scanning circuit in the LED driving circuit of the Micro-LED array is composed of 1080 registers as shown in fig. 4. The Reset terminals of all the registers (diff 1-diffn) are connected with a Reset signal Reset, the clock signal terminals of all the registers (diff 1-diffn) are connected with a clock signal CLK, the input terminal of the 1 st register diff1 is connected with a line signal Vscan, and the input terminal of the ith register diffi is connected with the output terminal of the (i-1) th register diffi-1. The line scanning circuit outputs 1080 line driving signals Row1 to Row1080, and sequentially lines 1 by line, that is, Row of one line is 1, and rows of the other 1079 lines are 0. When Row of a certain Row is equal to 1, the first column driving signal Data <1:1920> Data of the Row is read at the same time and transmitted to the signal receiving module and the signal holding module.
The Row scanning circuit operates to Reset when the Reset signal Reset is at a low level, and outputs Row1-1080 after Reset as 0. When the Reset signal Reset is at a high level, the clock signal CLK rises to sample, and the data signal at the input end of the register is transmitted to the output end to form Row driving signals Row 1-Row 1080. The remaining state output signal remains. Fig. 9 is a timing chart of the row scanning circuit.
When the row driving signal Rowi is at a high level, signals at the output ends (1920 outputs) of the latches are transmitted to the corresponding signal receiving circuits at the ith row, and finally Data transmission to the signal holding circuits is achieved. The above process is circulated 1080 times, and then the 1920 × 1080 pixel matrix reads the adjusting signal Iref simultaneously, so that the Micro-LED matrix is scanned by one subfield, the subfield scanning time plus the light emitting time is one subfield time, 8 subfields constitute 1 frame of picture, and fig. 10 is a row-column scanning timing chart.
The adjusting signal generating circuit comprises 512 NMOS transistors, namely NM 0-NM 511. NM0 and NM 1-NM 511 constitute a mirror image transistor copy of the adjusting current Iin flowing through NM0 (S1-S511 are closed), when the control signal Switch _ I is high, the adjusting signal Iref is equal to the sum of the currents flowing through NM 1-NM 511 (Iref 511-Iin). When the control signal Switch _ I is low, the adjustment signal Iref is 0.
Further, the LED driving circuit provided in this embodiment may implement 256 levels of gray scale adjustment of a Micro-LED array with a pixel density of ultrahigh resolution, for example, 256 levels of gray scale adjustment of a Micro-LED array with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 at 5000 ppi. The gray level adjusting method mainly comprises the following steps: PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation), PAM (Pulse-Amplitude Modulation), and PFM (Pulse-Frequency Modulation).
PWM is the adjustment of the width of the light emitting area of each subfield. In this embodiment, 1 frame of picture is composed of 8 subfields (denoted as subfields 1 to 8), the light emitting region width ratio of the 8 subfields is set to 1:2:4:8:16:32:64:128, and Data input to the 8 subfields is denoted as d1 to d 8. The gray scale calculation method is as follows: the Gray scale (Gray) is 1 × d1+2 × d2+4 × d3+8 × d4+16 × d5+32 × d6+64 × d7+128 × d 8. When Data input to the subfield m is at a high level, dm is 1; when Data input to the subfield is at a low level, dm is 0. When Data input to all subfields are high level, if d 1-d 8 are all 1, Gray is 256; when Data input to all subfields are low, if d1 to d8 are all 0, Gray is 0.
PAM is the amplitude of the light emitting area adjustment signal Iref for each subfield. If the amplitude ratio of the light emitting area adjusting signals Iref of the subfields 1-8 is set to be 1:2:4:8:16:32:64:128, 256 levels of gray levels can be realized, and the calculation method is as follows: the Gray scale (Gray) is 1 × d1+2 × d2+4 × d3+8 × d4+16 × d5+32 × d6+64 × d7+128 × d 8. When Data input to the subfield m is at a high level, dm is 1; when Data input to the subfield is at a low level, dm is 0. When Data input to all subfields are high level, if d 1-d 8 are all 1, Gray is 256; when Data input to all subfields are low, if d1 to d8 are all 0, Gray is 0.
PFM adjusts the width of the scanning area of each subfield and fixes the amplitude of the adjusting signal Iref, and the width of the light emitting area is set to 0, i.e., the width of the scanning area is equal to the width of the subfield. Then, setting the width ratio of the subfields 1-8 to 1:2:4:8:16:32:64:128, 256-level gray scale can be realized, and the calculation method is as follows: the Gray scale (Gray) is 1 × d1+2 × d2+4 × d3+8 × d4+16 × d5+32 × d6+64 × d7+128 × d 8. When Data input to the subfield m is at a high level, dm is 1; when Data input to the subfield is at a low level, dm is 0. When Data input to all subfields are high level, if d 1-d 8 are all 1, Gray is 256; when Data input to all subfields are low, if d1 to d8 are all 0, Gray is 0.
Exemplary timing parameters using a PAM, 120Hz refresh rate are as follows:
for CLK _ D, its period T is 5ns and frequency f is 200 MHz;
for CLK _ L, its period T is 5 × 96 ns and frequency f is 2.08 MHz;
for CLK, its period T5 × 96 × 480ns and frequency f 2.08 MHz;
wherein t is 0-0.1 ns for the delay of CLK and CLK _ L;
the width of the subfield scanning area is equal to the width of the subfield light emitting area.
Each frame is composed of 8 sub-fields, TCLK5ns, 20 split screen; t isframe_sub=T CLK1080 × (1920/20) × 2 ═ 518.4us ═ 2 ═ 1.0368 ms; the address selection time of each sub-field Micro-LED array is 518.4us, and the light emitting time is 518.4 us; t isframe=Tframe_sub*8=8.2944ms≈8.3ms, fframe120 Hz. The timing diagram is shown in fig. 11.
