Definitions
- Mobile devices are incorporating advanced display technology, such as liquid crystal light-emitting diode displays and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based displays.
- advanced display technology such as liquid crystal light-emitting diode displays and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) based displays.
- OLED organic light-emitting diode
- One such capability commonly expected of a mobile device display is the ability to rapidly and smoothly fade or brighten the display in response to user input, programming, or external lighting conditions.
- EP 1962267 discloses an organic light emitting display and method of controlling the same.
- An active matrix OLED display is driven using data signals (D1-Dm), scan signals (S1-Sm) and emission control signals (EM1-EMn) and comprises a control system including a first through fourth controller (400,500,600,700).
- the first controller (400) selects a gamma value in accordance with ambient illumination and outputs corresponding gamma gradation voltages to the data driver (300).
- the second controller (500) compares the ambient illumination level with a reference value to generate a selection signal (Ssel), and provides either luminance/saturation changed or unchanged image data (R'G'B' Data) to the data driver (300) in accordance with the selection signal (Ssel).
- the third controller (600) extracts characteristics of the input image data to determine and apply a scaling factor to the input image data (RGB Data), and outputs scaled image data (R"G"B" Data) to the data driver (300).
- the fourth controller (700) controls the pulse width of the emission control signals in accordance with the overall image brightness.
- the disclosure aims at reducing power consumption and improving the visibility in bright ambient environments.
- Embodiments described herein are directed to mobile device OLED display driver circuits that provide for efficient variable control over output brightness (luminance) through a single input.
- OLED display e.g., computer monitor, television
- Mobile devices that utilize an OLED display can include cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smartphones, and tablet-style computers, among others.
- control over OLED luminance can be accomplished through the use of a scaling register associated with the gamma values programmed to control per pixel output within the OLED display.
- Gamma values refer to gamma correction used to code and decode luminance values in graphic display systems (e.g., video or still image electronic displays, such as a computer monitor or mobile device screen).
- a mobile device can use a variety of display technologies, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD).
- LCD liquid crystal display
- Some mobile devices use an LCD-type display that includes a backlight or an active array of transistors (e.g., an active thin-film transistor matrix, or the like), or both, to control each pixel in the display.
- Backlit LCD displays can provide for fast response times and vibrant displays desired by today's mobile device consumer.
- Backlit LCD displays allow for rapid variations in display luminance simply by varying the output of the backlights.
- LCDs including a backlight or an active transistor matrix, or both can have high power demands, thus shortening battery life of the mobile device.
- OLED display technology is rapidly gaining ground versus LCDs for use in mobile devices due to the potential for improved power efficiency, improved color reproduction, and potential for thinner displays. Additionally, OLED displays can achieve faster response rates, achieve higher contrast levels, and produce higher saturated color reproduction.
- OLED pixels are self-emissive (i.e. produce their own light).
- An OLED is an LED whose emissive electroluminescent layer can be composed of a thin-film of organic compounds capable of producing light when an electrical current is passed through it. OLEDs are capable of greater contrast ratios, thinner packaging, and deeper black levels, when compared to traditional LCD displays.
- fading or controlling the brightness of an OLED display can be more complicated than with LCD displays.
- LCD displays are typically backlit; thus, varying the output level is a matter of varying the backlight.
- varying the output brightness can be accomplished by a backlight driver integrated circuit (IC).
- IC backlight driver integrated circuit
- Typical driver ICs can use a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal to vary the power delivered to the LEDs and thus vary the output brightness.
- PWM pulse-width modulated
- OLEDs are self-emissive and depend upon programmed gamma values to map pixel input values to output voltages (e.g., to maintain color balance)
- current OLED driver ICs cannot effectively utilize a similar PWM signal to directly control brightness.
- Currently available driver ICs for OLEDs require reprogramming of the gamma values (e.g., reprogramming a look-up table mapping input values to output voltages) to change the brightness (luminance) of the OLEDs in a controlled manner. Reprogramming of the gamma values used for mapping digital input values to output voltages can require additional command traffic over a control interface, additional storage of pre-programmed gamma value
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a portion of an OLED driver circuit, according to an example embodiment.
- a circuit 100 can include a pixel input 110, a splitter 120, gamma adjustment circuits 130A, 130B, 130N (collectively referred to as gamma adjustment circuits 130), and pixel-level voltage outputs 140A, 140B, and 140N (collectively referred to as pixel-level voltage outputs 140).
- the pixel input 110 can be a 24-bit value containing information to address an RGB (red, green, and blue) color space pixel.

- the splitter 120 can pass the individual color components to associated gamma adjustment circuits 130.
- the gamma adjustment circuits 130 can map the individual color components into analog pixel-level voltage outputs 140.
- the gamma adjustment circuits 130 can use look-up tables (LUTs) to map between input and output values.
- the gamma adjustment circuits 130 can use circuit elements to transform input values into desired output values.
- the pixel-level voltage outputs 140 can be used to drive an individual pixel to emit light associated with the pixel input 110.
- varying (or fading) the luminance of the OLED display requires reprogramming of the gamma adjustment circuits 130. Varying the luminance or intensity of light emitted by a display is often referred to as fading the display.
- an OLED driver IC can be configured to accept a single scaling input that can be used to rapidly vary the brightness (luminance) output of an OLED display.
- the single scaling input can be either digital or analog (e.g., PMW signal).
- the OLED driver IC can use the scaling input to attenuate the gamma-adjusted voltage.
- the scaling input can be applied to attenuate the gamma-adjusted voltage after the pixel input has been mapped by a gamma adjustment portion of the OLED driver IC.
- the use of a scaling input to enable rapid adjustment of the luminance of an OLED display is discussed further below in reference to FIGs. 2 - 6 .

- the programmable processor can vary the luminance scaling input 210 over a range that when converted is smaller than between zero (0) and one (1) (e.g., between .5 and 1).
- Varying the luminance scaling input 210 over a smaller range can result in quickly scaling the luminance uniformly across an OLED display above a threshold (i.e. minimum level of brightness).
- Other programmatic manipulation of the luminance scaling input 210 can produce various rapid uniform changes to the luminance across an OLED display.
- the luminance scaling input is referred to as a scaling factor.
- the circuit 200 includes a gamma block 220 that can be used to map pixel input 205 into a representative pixel-level analog voltage.

- the gamma block 220 contains a look-up table (LUT) with a fixed number of entities to map from a digital input signal to an analog output voltage level.
- the gamma block 220 contains a LUT with eight (8) voltage mappings (e.g., 225A - 225N).
- the LUT is configured to directly map digital input values of 0, 1, 32, 80, 172, 220, 254, and 255 to corresponding pixel-level analog voltage values.
- the gamma block 220 can interpolate digital values that fall between the directly mapped values. Interpolation ranges are depicted within FIG. 2 by ranges 230A - 230N.

- the gamma block 220 can simply round up or down to the nearest directly mapped value when interpolating inputs that fall between directly mapped values.
- the gamma block 220 can include a LUT with two-hundred and fifty five (255) directly mapped values, eliminating the need to interpolate for a given 8-bit input value.
- the gamma block 220 outputs a mapped pixel-level voltage to a scaler circuit 240 (also referred to as a scaling circuit in some examples).
- the scaler circuit 240 can multiply the pixel-level voltage by the luminance scaling input 210 to reduce (fade) the pixel-level output voltage sent to the output 250.
- the luminance scaling input 210 can be interpreted by the scaler circuit 240 as a value between zero (0) and one (1). A value of one (1) will result in a full brightness (maximum luminance) output from the addressed pixel within the OLED display.
- a value of zero (0) can result in the addressed pixel being turned off (e.g., faded to zero luminance). Varying the luminance scaling input 210 between zero (0) and one (1) can result in the OLED display pixel varying between zero (0) output and full luminance.
- Vout_X represents the scaled pixel-level output voltage.
- L represents the luminance scaling input 210
- L_max represents the maximum value that can be input for the luminance scaling input 210
