Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, LED display, particularly outdoor screen, it is that subdivision carries out that its LED drives.Data are serial transfers in the unit, then are parallel transfer between the unit.The view data that the utility model adopts cell memory to store a certain display unit, cell memory is arranged in the unit controls driver.Desirable 32 points of pixel count in the display unit, 64 points, 128 points, 256 points, 512 or 1024 etc.In the present embodiment, being at 512 with the pixel count in the display unit is that example describes.
As shown in Figure 2, the device of the control LED screen gray scale of the utility model design is made up of cell memory 1, address counter 2, gray scale counter 3, frequency divider 7, gray-scale value comparator circuit and serial input chip for driving group.
The view data of this unit of cell memory 1 storage, cell memory address increase progressively since 0, press the opposite sequential storage view data of unit demonstration, as shown in Figure 3.Sense data through chip for driving displacement inverted sequence once can correctly show.
Address counter 2 moves the address bus signal of clock clk1 generation unit storer 1 according to string.For 512 (=2 9) display unit of pixel, address bus is 9 bit wides; For 256 (=2 8) the level gray scale shows that gray scale counter 3 and comparer 4 are 8 bit wides, (promptly 3 * 8) bit wide that the data bus of cell memory 1 is 24 is stored the image three-colo(u)r data, and every look is 8 bit wides.Address counter 2 is cycle counters, when auto zero when 0 count down to 511.
The gray-scale value comparator circuit comprises red gray-scale value comparator circuit, green gray-scale value comparator circuit and blue color shade value comparator circuit; Serial input chip for driving group comprises red chip for driving group, green chip for driving group and blue look chip for driving group, controls a kind of LED of color respectively, and the chip for driving in each group is by the serial mode cascade.Chip for driving group of all kinds is connected after its homochromy gray-scale value comparator circuit.
Gray-scale value comparator circuit structure of all kinds is identical, and chip for driving group structure of all kinds is also identical, so Fig. 2 only shows the details of red gray-scale value comparator circuit (seeing left empty frame among the figure) and red chip for driving group (seeing right empty frame among the figure).Referring to Fig. 2, gray-scale value comparator circuit of all kinds by or door 6, null detector 5 and " greater than " comparer 4 forms.Null detector 5 detects whether the data gray-scale value of reading from cell memory 1 is ' 0 ', if then be output as ' 1 ', by or door 6 reset " greater than " comparer 4 makes it be output as ' 0 '." greater than " comparer 4 finishes the data gray-scale value read from cell memory 1 and the comparison of gray scale Counter Value.If the data gray-scale value of reading from cell memory 1 is greater than the gray scale Counter Value, " greater than " comparer 4 is output as ' 1 '; If the data gray-scale value read from cell memory 1 is less than or equal to the gray scale Counter Value, then " greater than " comparer 4 is output as ' 0 '.Under string moves clock clk1 control, " greater than " the comparison information serial of comparer 4 outputs moves into homochromy chip for driving group.
Every through 512 clk1 clocks, moved 512 after, clk1 produces a positive pulse (being clk2) through frequency divider 7, one the tunnel sends into gray scale counter 3 as count pulse, make densitometer numerical value increase progressively 1, another road is as the latch signal of chip for driving 8, with this comparison information totally 512 latch, and control the luminous situation of corresponding LED, be gray-scale value greater than 0 luminous, equal 0 not luminous.
In the present embodiment, serial input chip for driving is selected chip for driving TLC5921 for use, and XLAT is a latch signal among Fig. 2, and SI is the serial data input end, and SO is the serial data output terminal.Pixel count in the display unit is 512 points, and every pixel is made up of red, green, blue three color pixels, and every TLC5921 drives the LED of 16 colors of the same race, and the every look chip for driving of a display unit group needs 32 TLC5921, serially concatenateds as shown in the figure.
Each TV Field begins, positive pulse field sync signal (Vsync) to address counter 2, gray scale counter 3 and " greater than " comparer 4 zero clearing that resets.Move at string under the control of clock clk1, cell memory 10 begins to read view data from the address, red (R) data are sent into red gray-scale value comparator circuit, and green (G) data and Lan Se (B) data are sent into green gray-scale value comparator circuit and blue color shade value comparator circuit respectively.Below with the R data instance processing procedure is described, this is identical in the processing of G data and B data.
Gray scale counter 3 is zero after Vsync resets, the data and 0 comparison of reading from cell memory 1, when R data (being the R gray-scale value) greater than 0 the time, " greater than " comparer 4 is output as ' 1 '; When the R gray-scale value equaled 0, null detector 5 was output as ' 1 ', reset " greater than " comparer 4 and make it be output as ' 0 '.Move under the clock clk1 control at string, the comparison information serial is moved into red chip for driving group.Every through 512 clk1 clocks, moved 512 after, it is clk2 through positive pulse of frequency divider 7 generations that string moves clock clk1, one the tunnel sends into gray scale counter 3 as count pulse, make densitometer numerical value increase progressively 1, another road is as the latch signal of chip for driving 8, with this comparison information totally 512 latch, and control the luminous situation of corresponding LED, be gray-scale value greater than 0 luminous, equal 0 not luminous.As seen, 512 bit comparison information all be moved into chip for driving 8 and need 512 clk1 clocks, show a kind of periodicity, be called string and move period T s, the string cycle of moving=display unit pixel count * string moves the clock period.
Address counter 2 count down to 511 o'clock auto zeros from 0.Ensuing 512 clk1 clocks, promptly the 2nd string moves the cycle, calls over the gray-scale value the cell memory 1 once more from address 0~511, specifically with 1 relatively: gray-scale value is greater than 1, " greater than " comparer 4 outputs ' 1 '; Gray-scale value is less than or equal to 1, " greater than " comparer 4 outputs ' 0 '.As seen, certain some R pixel that gray-scale value equals 1 is moved in the cycle at the 1st string, and pulsewidth of chip for driving corresponding positions output equals the LED of this point of pulsed drive of 1 Ts, and later string moves equal no pulse output of cycle.In like manner, certain some R pixel that gray-scale value equals 2 is moved in the cycle at preceding 2 strings, and pulsewidth of chip for driving corresponding positions output equals the LED of this point of pulsed drive of 2 Ts, and later string moves equal no pulse output of cycle.The rest may be inferred, and gray-scale value equals the R pixel of n, moves in the cycle at preceding n string, and pulsewidth of chip for driving corresponding positions output equals the LED of this point of pulsed drive of n Ts, and later string moves equal no pulse output of cycle.Like this, just realized that pulsewidth is subjected to the drive signal of grey value modulation, control LED length of illumination.The luminous of LED is successional, do not exist conventional LED screen to realize the dynamic false outline phenomenon that gray-scale Control occurs because of adopting sub-field mode.
For chip for driving TLC5921, string moves the highest desirable 20MHz of clock clk1, and the corresponding cycle is 0.05us, selects the display unit of 512 pixels for use, and then the string cycle of moving equals 512 * 0.05us=25.6us.
From above analysis as can be known, gray-scale value is the view data of n, the pulse width of modulation output is that n string moves the cycle, since show with the TV Field to be unit, for the picture signal of 60Hz (16667us), the highest attainable number of greyscale levels N=16667us/25.6us=651 level, if it is 325 that number of greyscale levels is compressed half, then 1 TV Field can show 2 times, and promptly display frequency is 2 * 60=120Hz, is far longer than the critical flicker frequency of human eye.
The utility model gray-scale Control technology is introduced cell memory, cooperates cheap chip for driving TLC5921, has realized the gray-scale Control effect of expensive gray-scale Control chip for driving TLC5902.For 1920 * 1080 high definition virtual LEDs screen, adopt the TLC5902 scheme, need 97200 TLC5902 altogether.If adopt the utility model scheme, need 97200 TLC5921 and 2000 cell memory, suppose that TLC5902 is higher 20 yuan than TLC5921 price, employing the utility model scheme will save more than 190 ten thousand, much larger than 20,000 yuan of the 2000 blade unit cost of memory of adding, cost performance is high.
Present embodiment only for illustrating technical solutions of the utility model, should not be construed as restriction of the present utility model.The all modifications of being done based on the invention thinking adopts the TIP6B595 chip as chip for driving, and perhaps the pixel in the display unit is counted etc. for other, all should belong to protection domain of the present utility model.
