Definitions
- the disclosure relates to image display.
- Display panels of mobile electronic systems are typically user adjustable to compensate for varying levels of environmental brightness. For example, a display panel should be able to generate high brightness to display an image in a bright environment. Conversely, the display of a dark image in a darker environment requires less display panel brightness.
- a conventional method controls brightness of light emitted from a display panel according to voltage generated by a voltage divider.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional voltage divider. A voltage between two resistors can be adjusted according to the resistance of two resistors. A first maximum gray level provided by voltage divider 10 is 100nits, a second maximum gray level provided by voltage divider 12 is 150nits, and a third maximum gray level provided by voltage divider 14 is 200nits. Therefore, the brightness of light emitted from the display panel can be adjusted by providing different maximum gray levels. Unfortunately, since such a conventional method utilizes numerous voltage dividers to generate multiple voltages for adjusting the brightness of light emitted from the display panel, the cost and size of the display panel can be high.

- photo-detection device 322 comprises a photo-sensor 411 and a converter 412 and provides reference voltage Vref according to brightness of light emitted from light-emitting element 30.
- Photo-sensor 411 detects the brightness of light emitted from light-emitting element 30 and provides a corresponding current Iref.
- Converter 412 converts the current Iref to reference voltage Vref. Since a value of the current Iref is small, a current mirror unit (not shown) is utilized to amplify the current Iref.
- Converter 412 receives the amplified current Iref.
- Selection device 324 comprises transistors 413 and 414.
- Transistor 413 is a P-type transistor and transistor 414 is an N-type transistor.
- a source of transistor 413 receives reference signal Sp, a gate thereof receives a control signal Sc, and a drain thereof is coupled to a drain of transistor 414.
- a gate of transistor 414 receives the control signal Sc and a source thereof receives reference voltage Vref.
- control signal Sc As the control signal Sc is at high logic level during the first period, transistor 414 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of a node P3 is approximately equal to reference voltage Vref. As the control signal Sc is at low logic level during the second period, transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of a node P3 is approximately equal to voltage of reference signal Sp.

Additionally, inverting device 344 can comprise a plurality of inverters connected in series, with a plurality of switches, each connected in parallel with one of the inverters. Since inverting device 344 has an inverse function during the second period, the number of inverters should be odd.
- photo-sensor 411 detects brightness of light emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel. Since the light-emitting elements age, the brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting elements typically will decay. Thus, signal generator 24 can compensate for the decaying brightness due to aging of light-emitting elements.
- Fig. 3 is a timing diagram of the preset signal STV of Fig. 2b. Assuming the high voltage of inverter 416 is equal to 5V and low voltage thereof is equal to 0V, then during a first period D1, switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV1 approximately equals 2.5V.
- control signal Sc is at a high logic level such that transistor 414 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of node P3 equals reference voltage Vref. If the brightness of light emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel changes from bright to dark, the reference voltage Vref output from photo-detection device 322 is equal to 1V. When voltage V P4 of node P4 equals 2.5V and voltage V P3 of node P3 equals 1V, the voltage Vc of capacitor 362 equals -1.5V.
- control signal Sc is at a low logic level such that transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, the voltage V P3 is equal to reference signal Sp.
- Reference signal Sp is a triangular signal in this embodiment having a maximum voltage equal to 5V and a minimum voltage equal to 0V. Since voltage Vc equals to - 1.5V, when voltage V P3 is less than 1V, preset signal STV1 is at a high logic level, and when voltage V P3 is more than 1V, preset signal STV1 is at a low logic level.
- switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV1 is equal to 2.5V and voltage Vc will be changed according to reference voltage Vref.
- the reference voltage Vref output from photo-detection device 322 is equal to 4V.
- voltage V P4 of node P4 equals 2.5V and voltage V P3 of node P3 equals to 4V
- voltage Vc of capacitor 362 equals 1.5V.
- control signal Sc is at a low logic level such that transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, the voltage V P3 equals reference signal Sp. Since voltage Vc equals 1.5V when voltage V P3 is less than 4V, preset signal STV2 is at a high logic level, and when voltage V P3 is more than 4V, preset signal STV2 is at a low logic level.
- switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV2 is equal to 2.5V and voltage Vc will be changed according to reference voltage Vref.
- reference voltage Vref output from photo-detection device 322 changes to adjust a duty cycle of preset signal STV.

- the first processing unit 38 comprises a switching device 382 and an inverting device 384 connected in parallel with switching device 382.
- switching device 382 is turned on such that a voltage of an input terminal P6 of inverting device 384 is equal to that of an output terminal P7 of inverting device 384.
- switching device 382 is turned off such that a logic level of the output terminal P7 is the inverse of the input terminal P6.
- inverting device 384 can be an inverter 418 and switching device 382 can be a switch 417.
- inverting device 384 can include inverters connected in series, with a switch coupled between an input terminal of a first of the inverters and an output terminal of a last of the inverters. Additionally, inverting device 384 can comprise a plurality of inverters connected in series, and a plurality switches, each connected in parallel to one of the inverters. Since inverting device 384 has an inverse function during the second period, the number of inverters should be odd. The number of inverters of inverting devices 344 and 384 preferably is even.
- photo-sensor 411 detects environmental brightness (ambient light).
- Fig. 5 is a timing diagram of the preset signal STV of Fig. 4. Since signal generator 24 shown in Fig. 4 detects environmental brightness, preset signals STV1 and STV2 are generated accordingly.

Photo-sensor 411 detects the brightness of light emitted from light-emittingelement 30 and provides a corresponding current Iref. Converter 412 converts the current Iref to reference voltage Vref. Since a value of the current Iref is small, a current mirror unit (not shown) is utilized to amplify the current Iref.Converter 412 receives the amplified current Iref. Additionally, an amplifier (not shown) can be utilized for amplifying reference voltage Vref.Selection device 324 comprisestransistors Transistor 413 is a P-type transistor andtransistor 414 is an N-type transistor. A source oftransistor 413 receives reference signal Sp, a gate thereof receives a control signal Sc, and a drain thereof is coupled to a drain oftransistor 414. A gate oftransistor 414 receives the control signal Sc and a source thereof receives reference voltage Vref. - As the control signal Sc is at high logic level during the first period,
transistor 414 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of a node P3 is approximately equal to reference voltage Vref. As the control signal Sc is at low logic level during the second period,transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of a node P3 is approximately equal to voltage of reference signal Sp. - The
first processing unit 34 comprises aswitching device 342 and aninverting device 344 connected in parallel with switchingdevice 342. During the first period, switchingdevice 342 is turned on such that a voltage of an input terminal P4 of invertingdevice 344 is equal to that of an output terminal P5 of invertingdevice 344. During the second period, switchingdevice 342 is turned off such that a logic level of the output terminal P5 is the inverse of the input terminal P4. In some embodiments, invertingdevice 344 can be aninverter 416 and switchingdevice 342 can be aswitch 415. - To increase a sensitivity of inverting
device 344, invertingdevice 344 can include inverters connected in series, with a switch being coupled between an input terminal of a first of the inverters and an output terminal of a last inverters. Additionally, invertingdevice 344 can comprise a plurality of inverters connected in series, with a plurality of switches, each connected in parallel with one of the inverters. Since invertingdevice 344 has an inverse function during the second period, the number of inverters should be odd. - In the embodiment of Fig. 2b, photo-
sensor 411 detects brightness of light emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel. Since the light-emitting elements age, the brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting elements typically will decay. Thus,signal generator 24 can compensate for the decaying brightness due to aging of light-emitting elements. - The operating principle of the system shown in Fig. 2b is described in the following. In this regard, Fig. 3 is a timing diagram of the preset signal STV of Fig. 2b. Assuming the high voltage of
inverter 416 is equal to 5V and low voltage thereof is equal to 0V, then during a first period D1,switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV1 approximately equals 2.5V. - During first period D1, control signal Sc is at a high logic level such that
transistor 414 is turned on. Therefore, voltage of node P3 equals reference voltage Vref. If the brightness of light emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel changes from bright to dark, the reference voltage Vref output from photo-detection device 322 is equal to 1V. When voltage VP4 of node P4 equals 2.5V and voltage VP3 of node P3 equals 1V, the voltage Vc ofcapacitor 362 equals -1.5V. - During the second period, control signal Sc is at a low logic level such that
transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, the voltage VP3 is equal to reference signal Sp. Reference signal Sp is a triangular signal in this embodiment having a maximum voltage equal to 5V and a minimum voltage equal to 0V. Since voltage Vc equals to - 1.5V, when voltage VP3 is less than 1V, preset signal STV1 is at a high logic level, and when voltage VP3 is more than 1V, preset signal STV1 is at a low logic level. - During the third period D3,
switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV1 is equal to 2.5V and voltage Vc will be changed according to reference voltage Vref. - If the brightness of light emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel changes from dark to bright, the reference voltage Vref output from photo-
detection device 322 is equal to 4V. When voltage VP4 of node P4 equals 2.5V and voltage VP3 of node P3 equals to 4V, voltage Vc ofcapacitor 362 equals 1.5V. - During the second period, control signal Sc is at a low logic level such that
transistor 413 is turned on. Therefore, the voltage VP3 equals reference signal Sp. Since voltage Vc equals 1.5V when voltage VP3 is less than 4V, preset signal STV2 is at a high logic level, and when voltage VP3 is more than 4V, preset signal STV2 is at a low logic level. - During the third period D3,
switch 415 is turned on such that voltages of nodes P4 and P5 are equal to 2.5V. Therefore, preset signal STV2 is equal to 2.5V and voltage Vc will be changed according to reference voltage Vref. - As shown in Fig. 3, when the brightness emitted from light-emitting elements of a display panel changes, reference voltage Vref output from photo-
detection device 322 changes to adjust a duty cycle of preset signal STV. - Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary embodiment of a system for controlling brightness of displayed images. Fig. 4 is similar to the embodiment of Fig. 2b except that a
second processing unit 38 is coupled tofirst processing unit 34. In this embodiment, thefirst processing unit 38 comprises aswitching device 382 and aninverting device 384 connected in parallel with switchingdevice 382. During the first period, switchingdevice 382 is turned on such that a voltage of an input terminal P6 of invertingdevice 384 is equal to that of an output terminal P7 of invertingdevice 384. During the second period, switchingdevice 382 is turned off such that a logic level of the output terminal P7 is the inverse of the input terminal P6. In some embodiments, invertingdevice 384 can be aninverter 418 and switchingdevice 382 can be aswitch 417. - To increase a sensitivity of inverting
device 384, invertingdevice 384 can include inverters connected in series, with a switch coupled between an input terminal of a first of the inverters and an output terminal of a last of the inverters.
Additionally, invertingdevice 384 can comprise a plurality of inverters connected in series, and a plurality switches, each connected in parallel to one of the inverters. Since invertingdevice 384 has an inverse function during the second period, the number of inverters should be odd. The number of inverters of invertingdevices - In the embodiment of Fig. 4, photo-
sensor 411 detects environmental brightness (ambient light). The brightness perceived by a viewer of the display panel that is lower if the environmental brightness is high. Therefore, the brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting elements of a display panel is directly proportional to environmental brightness. - Fig. 5 is a timing diagram of the preset signal STV of Fig. 4. Since
signal generator 24 shown in Fig. 4 detects environmental brightness, preset signals STV1 and STV2 are generated accordingly. Preset signal STV1 is generated when environmental brightness is high. Preset signal STV2 is generated when environmental brightness is low. - Additionally, since the signal generator shown in Fig. 4 comprises second processing unit, the
preset signals STV 1 and STV2 shown in Fig. 5 are inverse to the preset signals STV1 and STV2 shown in Fig. 3. - Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a system for controlling brightness of displayed images. In this embodiment,
system 20 comprises adisplay panel 22, asignal generator 24, and adriving device 26.Display panel 22 comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements (not shown). Generallydisplay panel 22 is a liquid crystal display panel although in other embodiments, the panel could be an electroluminescent display panel for example. Ifdisplay panel 22 is a liquid crystal display panel, the light-emitting elements ofdisplay panel 22 are string lamps. Ifdisplay panel 22 is an electroluminescent display panel, the light-emitting elements ofdisplay panel 22 are electroluminescent elements. -
Signal generator 24 generates a preset signal STV according to brightness of light such as environmental light or light from a light-emitting element. Drivingdevice 26 comprises ascan driver 262 and adata driver 264. Drivingdevice 26 adjusts brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting elements according to preset signal STV. - If
display panel 22 is an electroluminescent display panel,display panel 22 comprises a plurality of pixels. Each pixel comprises an electroluminescent element. In this regard, Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a pixel. For clarity, only one pixel is shown. - When
scan driver 262 asserts scan signal S1, a transistor M1a is turned on such that a capacitor Ca is charged according to a data signal D1 provided fromdata driver 264. As the voltage stored in capacitor Ca is sufficient to turn on a transistor M2a, high voltage Vdd can be output to a transistor M3a. - If driving signal SC1 provided by
scan driver 262 is at a high logic level, transistor M3a is turned off such that electroluminescent element ELa does not emit light. If driving signal SC1 is at low logic level, transistor M3a is turned on such that electroluminescent element ELa emits light. - When the turn-on time of the transistor M3a is longer, luminiferous time of electroluminescent element ELa is longer such that brightness emitted from
display panel 22 is brighter. When the turn-on time of transistor M3a is shorter, luminiferous time of electroluminescent element ELa is shorter such that brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22 is less. Therefore, a duty cycle of preset signal STV is utilized to control the turn-on time of transistor M3a for controlling the brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22. - For example, referring again to Fig. 3, preset signal STV1 is generated while brightness emitted from light-emitting elements of
display panel 22 is changed from bright to dark.Scan driver 262 provides driving signal SC1 according to preset signal STV1 shown in Fig. 3. In this embodiment, driving signal SC1 is equal to preset signal STV1. When the gate of transistor M3a receives driving signal SC1, turn-on time of electroluminescent element ELa is longer than the turn-off time of electroluminescent element ELa. Thus, brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22 is high. Preset signal STV2 is generated while brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting elements ofdisplay panel 22 is changed from dark to bright.Scan driver 262 provides driving signal SC1 according to preset signal STV2 shown in Fig. 3. In this embodiment, drivingsignal SC 1 is equal to preset signal STV2. When the gate of transistor M3a receives driving signal SC1, turn-off time of electroluminescent element ELa is longer than turn-on time of electroluminescent element ELa. Therefore, brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22 is low. - Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a pixel. As transistor M1b is turned on, capacitor Cb can be charged. When voltage stored in capacitor Cb is sufficient to turn on transistor M2b, an anode of electroluminescent element ELb receives high voltage Vdd.
- When driving signal SC1 is at a low logic level, electroluminescent element ELb emits light. When driving signal SC1 is at a high logic level, electroluminescent element ELb does not emit light.
- For example, reference with Fig. 5 and Fig. 8, preset signal STV1 is generated as environmental brightness is low.
Scan driver 262 provides driving signal SC1 according to preset signal STV1 shown in Fig. 5. In this embodiment, driving signal SC1 is equal to preset signal STV1. When the anode of electroluminescent element ELb receives STV1, turn-off time of electroluminescent element ELb is longer than turn-on time of electroluminescent element ELb. Therefore, brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22 is low when environmental brightness is low. Preset signal STV2 is generated as brightness emitted from an environment is bright.Scan driver 262 provides driving signal SC1 according to preset signal STV2 shown in Fig. 5. In this embodiment, driving signal SC1 is equal to preset signal STV2. When the anode of electroluminescent element ELb receives STV1, turn-on time of electroluminescent element ELa is longer than turn-off time of electroluminescent element ELb. Therefore, brightness emitted fromdisplay panel 22 is high. - As described previously,
signal generator 24 controls a duty cycle of a preset signal according to brightness of environmental light and/or of light of a light-emitting element. When thesignal generator 24 is utilized in an electronic system comprising a display panel, if thesignal generator 24 detects environmental brightness, brightness of the display panel is changed accordingly. If thesignal generator 24 detects brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting element, aging of the light-emitting element can be mitigated. - While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
