Embodiment
The drive unit principal feature of the utility model display element for not only can be under general display mode output driving current to display element, to light display element; Under non-display mode, and can be by the I-E characteristic of detecting display element, drive current is adjusted in passback driving element state and setting, revises the required drive current of display element, and does not need to increase in addition pin.
Preferred embodiment of the present utility model as shown in Figure 1, wherein drive composite set 1 in order to drive several (present embodiment is 32) LEDs, this driving composite set 1 is external to a controller 8, and this controller 8 has general coding (coding) ... etc. function.Drive composite set 1 and comprise that several (present embodiment is four) connect and identical eight driving elements 10,20,30,40 of structure with series system.
The interior bonds situation of Fig. 2 display driver element 10, it mainly comprises one eight string preface impact damper 11, one four command buffer 12, one four status register 13, one eight image data buffer 14, eight drive current output ports 151~158, one drive current initialization circuit 16,18, eight electric current output connecting pins 191~198 of one mode switching circuit, 17, one digital/analog converters, one clock signal pin CLK-1, a string preface data input pin SDI-1, a string preface data output connecting pin SDO-1, a bolt lock signal pin LE!-1, one output control signal pin OE!-1, and a resistance signal pin R1-1.
When the gamma correction of light emitting diode often, driving element 11 is in display mode work down, sequential signal pin CLK-1 is sent to string preface data impact damper 11 with the clock signal that receives in real time; String preface data input pin SDI-1 receives the string preface data of controller 8 outputs, and is sent to string preface data impact damper 11, will go here and there the preface data transmission to driving element 20 by string preface data output connecting pin SDO-1 again.Under this pattern, the string preface data of input and output string preface impact damper 11 is mainly image data.Bolt lock signal pin LE!-1 after receiving bolt lock signal, impels string preface impact damper 11 that image data is sent to image data buffer 14.Output control signal pin OE!-1 after receiving the output control signal, then impels image data buffer 14 that image data is sent to drive output mouth 151~158; Drive current initialization circuit 16 also that the driven for emitting lights diode is required electric currents are sent to drive output mouth 151~158 simultaneously.After electric current output connecting pin 191~198 is accepted the electric current of corresponding drive output mouth 151~158 transmission, just can light corresponding light emitting diode.
In the present embodiment, bolt lock signal pin LE!-1 and output control signal pin OE!-1 also has the function of switching display mode/non-display mode, and is connected to mode switching circuit 17 separately with clock signal pin CLK-1.When a light emitting diode can't be lighted, shown in Fig. 3 figure, in a period of time T0, when the first pulse interval T1 appears earlier in bolt lock signal, when exporting control signal afterwards and the second pulse interval T2 occurring, then driving element 10 can be converted to non-display mode by display mode.At this moment, mode switching circuit 17 can transmit signal to trigger status register 13 delivery statuss to going here and there preface impact damper 11, is back to controller 8 at last.
As for when a light-emitting diode luminance reduces,, can make mode switching circuit 17 transmit signal and be sent to command buffer 12 to trigger 11 orders of self-controller 8 in the future of string preface impact damper by identical active mode.Command buffer 12 is sent to drive current initialization circuit 16 with data through a digital/analog converter 18 again, exports with the real-valued electric current that determines corresponding drive output mouth 15, and exports revised electric current to drive output mouth 15.Under this pattern, the string preface data of input and output string preface impact damper 11 mainly comprises order data and image data.Because the circuit connecting mode of present embodiment makes 8 one-tenth one loops of driving element 10~40 and controller, yet for the driving composite set that only need carry out this function, driving element 40 can not be connected with controller 8.
The first pulse interval T1 of the utility model design and the second pulse interval T2 are short with respect to the time compole that light emitting diode is lighted, be about a thirtieth second, because human eyes can not discovered this small energy variation, therefore, the utility model can utilize this characteristic to control and finish the function of mode switch.In addition, pulse sequence aspect aquatic foods as shown in Figure 3 are used to promote display element less, therefore do not hinder in normal display mode.
After the unusual condition of light emitting diode is reported and is revised, in a period of time T0, the first pulse interval T1 appears earlier in bolt lock signal, exports the control signal attitude of still remaining stationary afterwards, then driving element 10 just can be converted to display mode by non-display mode, as shown in Figure 4.
The above is the connecting state and the working method of driving element 10, and the utility model is when reality is used, driving composite set as shown in Figure 1.Among the figure, the string preface data input pin SDI-2 of driving element 20 receives the string preface data of being sent out by the string preface data output connecting pin SDO-1 of driving element 10, sends out string preface data output signal by string preface data output connecting pin SDO-2 again ..., by that analogy.At last, the string preface data input pin SDI-4 of driving element 40 receives the string preface data of the string preface data output connecting pin SDI-3 transmission of driving element 30, send out string preface data to controller 8, through again the data signal of revising being sent after the work such as coding by string preface data output connecting pin SDI-4 again.
Driving element of the present utility model can more comprise the fault detecting function of a drive output mouth, and the malfunction that detects directly or indirectly is sent to this status register via a fault monitoring circuit, and carries out back coupling work by above-mentioned non-display mode.
In sum, the utility model is except having the traditional function of lighting display element under display mode, under the situation that does not increase pin, more can carry out the order of transmission control system driving element characteristic down and/or the novel capabilities of passback driving element state down in non-display mode.And become one to drive composite set by the tandem drive element, more can above-mentioned driving element be made up and be carried out new function according to the actual number of display element.Only it should be noted, the above embodiments only are preferred embodiment of the present utility model, spirit of the present utility model and scope should be as the criterion with claims, allly modify a little or other secondary element of additions and deletions according to the utility model embodiment, all should belong to scope of the present utility model.
