Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a bidirectional display, on which both an array of light-generating picture elements and an array of light-detecting elements are arranged.
  • the light-detecting elements of a bidirectional device are also referred to as Active Pixel Sensors (abbreviated as APS) or as a pixel cell.
  • APS Active Pixel Sensors
  • the invention relates to a method for driving APS.
  • Image sensor systems based on C MOS technology in addition to CC D (charged-coupled devices) represent a widespread variant of image sensors.
  • Sensors based on CMOS technology have the advantage over CC D that electronic circuits are very easily integrated on a hip which enables complex system-on-hip solutions.
  • bidirectional displays on which a plurality of light-generating picture elements and a plurality of light-detecting elements are arranged in the form of an array.
  • the light-generating picture elements in their entirety can act, for example, as the display surface of a display and the light-detecting elements in their entirety, for example, as a sensor of a camera.
  • WO 2012/1 63312 A1 also describes various driving variants of the elements which are intended to solve the problem of direct crosstalk of light-generating picture elements to adjacent light-detecting elements by successively driving the light-generating picture elements and adjacent light-detecting elements. As a result, light-generating picture elements and adjacent light-detecting elements are only active alternately successively active.
  • a light-detecting element If a light-detecting element is activated, a single, complete exposure phase always follows a read-out phase of this light-detecting element. All light-detecting elements are controlled in the same way. Relative to the totality of the light-detecting elements and thus to the function as a camera, only the
  • the control variants disclosed in WO 201 2/1 63312 A1 reach their limits.
  • the inactivity of the light-generating picture elements during an exposure time of light-detecting elements which requires a certain length for a good signal quality, can lead to perceptible image disturbances, but at least to a visible loss of brightness.
  • the sensitivity of the detector elements can not be increased as desired, since increasingly higher resolutions are required for display applications, whereby the cost area used should remain as low as possible for cost reasons, thus making space for detector elements or circuit measures for increasing their sensitivity so strong are restricted.
  • the invention is therefore the technical problem of providing a method for driving a bidirectional display, by means of which the disadvantages of the prior art can be overcome.
  • light-generating picture elements and light-detecting elements are to be controlled in such a way that mutual influencing is at least reduced, wherein the perceptible performance with the human eye should as far as possible not be reduced.
  • the light-capturing element associated at least one light-generating pixel is at least temporarily activated between the two exposure sub-phases of the light-detecting element.
  • the exposure phase of the light-detecting element is subdivided into more than two exposure sub-phases and the light-generating image element is activated at least temporarily between two successive exposure sub-phases.
  • the method according to the invention thus has the advantage that the inactive time of a light-generating picture element no longer extends coherently over the entire duration of a complete exposure phase of a light-detecting element, but only over fractions of an exposure phase. Activating a photogenerating pixel at shorter time intervals than the prior art results in improved image quality.
  • the exposure sub-phases of a light detecting element and emit phases of a light generating pixel are sequentially performed, thereby preventing overcoupling of light generating and light detecting elements.
  • emitphases is to be understood as meaning the active phases of a light-generating picture element, ie those phases during which the light-generating element
  • the exposure sub-phases are preferably chosen to be the same length, but can alternatively also be set with different lengths. Also, the time intervals between successive exposure sub-phases may be set to be the same length or, alternatively, different length.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the structure of a light-emitting element
  • FIG. 2 is an overview diagram of a light-emitting element
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a phase sequence for driving a light-emitting element according to the prior art
  • 4 shows a schematic representation of a phase sequence for the operation according to the invention of a light-detecting element and associated light-generating picture elements in two variants
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of a phase sequence of a plurality of rows of arranged light-detecting elements in variants.
  • Bidirectional displays in which the method according to the invention can be used are described, for example, in WO 201 2/1 63312 A1.
  • Such a bidirectional display comprises both a plurality of light-generating picture elements and a plurality of light-detecting elements, which are usually arranged nested in the form of an array with a number of rows and columns.
  • a light-detecting element In Fig. 1, the structure of a light-detecting element is shown schematically and in Fig. 2 as an overview diagram.
  • a light-detecting element comprises at least the following components: a photodetector PD, a reset switch T1, a transfer switch T2, a memory T3 and a selector switch T4, which are electrically interconnected via the nodes nO, n1, n2 and n3.
  • a capacitor element C 1 can also be connected to the node n 1.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a phase sequence with which a light-detecting element of a bidirectional display according to the prior art is activated.
  • the reset switch T1 is actuated by the signal "res”
  • the transfer switch T2 by the signal “tr”
  • the selector switch T4 by the signal “sei.”
  • the switch is made of high-active signals for all the subsequently described control signals ie, the switches are closed - ie connecting, when a signal reaches the state high or "1" - and opened - thus not connecting, when the control signal reaches the level low or "0" .
  • a switch can alternatively be closed with a low signal and opened with a high signal.
  • a reset phase is started according to the prior art shown in FIG. 3 by closing the reset switch T1 and the transfer switch T2 by a respective high signal at the signal inputs "res" and “tr” when the selection switch T4 is open.
  • the reset reference voltage "V ref res” turned on.
  • a complete exposure phase of a light-detecting element is subdivided into a plurality of time-spaced exposure sub-phases and, moreover, light-generating image elements associated with the light-detecting element are at least temporarily activated between the exposure sub-phases.
  • the picture elements assigned to a light-detecting element are expediently light-generating picture elements which adjoin the light-detecting element, since the overcoupling of primarily adjacent elements of both element types must nevertheless be prevented.
  • only one light-generating pixel is associated with a light-detecting element.
  • it may also be a plurality of light-detecting elements to which one and the same light-generating picture element is assigned.
  • FIG. 4 shows, in a schematic illustration, a phase sequence for the operation according to the invention of a light-detecting element, as exemplified in FIGS. 1 and 2, and light-generating picture elements assigned to the light-detecting element on a bidirectional display.
  • a phase sequence two variants are shown in FIG. 4, a variant V1 a and a variant V1 b. Again this is with the signal
  • an initial reset phase is started at an initial time starting with a repetitive cycle, in which, with the selection switch T4 open, the Reset switch T1 and the transfer switch T2 by a respective high signal at the signal inputs "res” or “tr” are closed.
  • the reset reference voltage "V ref res " is turned on at the nodes nO and n 1.
  • the reset phase ends with the opening of the reset switch T1 and at the same time an exposure sub-phase 1 lasting only a fraction of a complete exposure phase begins Opening of the transfer switch T2 is immediately followed by an emit phase in which the picture elements associated with the light-detecting element emit light, and another reset phase begins with the closing of the reset switch T1, in which case the transfer switch T2 remains open Reset reference voltage "V ref res " reset.
  • the reset phase is terminated with the opening of the reset switch T1 and simultaneously with the closing of the transfer switch T2 an exposure sub-phase 2 is started.
  • the reset switch T1 is opened and the transfer switch T2 is closed, a charge balance between the node nO (the node of the photodetector PD) and the node n 1 (storage node of the last exposure sub-phase).
  • the photodetector PD effects a charge change on the now shorted nodes nO and n 1.
  • the exposure sub-phase 2 ends, which is again followed by an emit phase during which the light-generating picture elements assigned to the light-detecting element emit light.
  • the sequence of reset phase, exposure sub-phase and emit phase is then continued until an exposure sub-phase N, with which finally reaches a desired signal stroke for the exposure and thus a complete exposure phase is terminated.
  • an emit phase can again be connected to the exposure phase N or it starts immediately after the exposure subphase N equal to a readout phase with the closing of the selector switch T4.
  • the readout phase in which the value stored in the memory T3 is read out via the data line "del" ends with the opening of the selection switch T4, following which a new exposure cycle begins with an initial reset phase.
  • the variant V1 b differs from the variant V1 a only in that in variant V1 b from the exposure sub-phase 2, a time gap between a partial exposure phase and a preceding reset phase is inserted. As a result, an over-coupling of the reset phase to the exposure phase can be prevented, which could lead to an influence on the stored value of the previous exposure sections.
  • the phase sequences shown schematically in FIG. 4 there is an emit phase in which light-generating picture elements are activated, primarily between one Exposure phase and a reset phase. It should be expressly stated at this point that the scope of the invention is not limited to the fact that the light-generating picture elements must be activated immediately with the end of a partial exposure phase and thus from the beginning of an emit phase for the emission of light.
  • the activation of the light-generating picture elements can also take place during an emit phase with a time gap to the preceding exposure sub-phase.
  • the protective practice of the invention includes embodiments in which the activation of light-generating pixels extends beyond a schematically illustrated emit phase into a subsequent reset phase. It is essential for the avoidance of feedbacks that the activation of light-generating picture elements does not coincide with an exposure sub-phase of an associated light-detecting element.
  • a bidirectional display often consists of a plurality of light-detecting elements and a plurality of light-generating picture elements, which are arranged on the bidirectional display, preferably nested in a number of rows and columns of an array.
  • the display array and the sensor array can also be arranged next to one another.
  • each of the light-detecting elements and the pixels assigned to these elements are driven according to the phase sequence described above.
  • the individual pixel cells are read out by being addressed, for example, by means of known method steps via a row line, and the value of the desired pixel cell being forwarded to external signal processing via a column line.
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic illustration of three variants of phase sequences for driving a bidirectional display according to the invention, in which a multiplicity of light-detecting elements and light-generating picture elements are arranged in the form of a pixel matrix.
  • variant V2a the individual phases of light-detecting elements of all lines are executed simultaneously. Only the readout phases of the lines takes place successively in time. If one considers all light-detecting elements of a bidirectional display in their entirety as a sensor of a camera, the phase sequence of the pixel lines represented in variant V2a corresponds to a so-called global aperture, which is also referred to as a global shutter principle.
  • Variants V2b and V2c differ only in that, in variant V2b, after a final exposure sub-phase, only one more emit phase is performed before the read-out phase begins in a row. In variant V2c, on the other hand, reading takes place immediately after the final exposure subphase.
