BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to source driving of thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels, and particularly to analog power buffers used in source driving circuits to reduce power consumption without being affected by process changes. The present invention relates to an analog output buffer circuit for driving a source of a TFT-LCD panel, which can be implemented with a poly-Si TFT.

With the recent development of semiconductor technology, thin film transistors, or TFT (Thin Film Transistor) related technologies, have been developed, and an active LCD, that is, TFT-LCD (TFT-Liquid Crystal Display), which drives each pixel by arranging the TFT in each pixel is developed. ) Is widely used, and it is classified into a-Si TFT-LCD, poly-Si TFT-LCD, CdSe TFT-LCD, etc. according to a material used to form a semiconductor thin film, that is, a semiconductor layer.

In this regard, various studies have been conducted to achieve SOG (System-On-Glass) by increasing the integration level such as digital source driving circuit, DC-DC converter, timing controller of TFT-LCD using low temperature poly-Si TFT. It is becoming.

However, conventional low-temperature poly-Si TFT-LCD panels, which integrate several circuits on glass substrates using low-temperature poly-Si TFTs, have higher threshold voltages and lower levels than the driving circuits of a-Si TFT-LCDs made of single crystal silicon. Due to the mobility, high operating voltage is required, high-speed circuit operation is difficult, and the size of the device increases, thereby increasing the area of the circuit.

In addition, the low-temperature poly-Si TFT described above has severe variations in threshold voltage and mobility due to irregularly distributed grain boundaries, and particularly analogs such as op-amps due to the kink effect. It is difficult to implement the output buffer circuit, and to compensate for this non-uniform characteristic, a simpler source follower (ie, drain ground amplifier) form or comparator form is used instead of an op amp having a complicated differential structure. I use it.

As an example, the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 shows a conventional source follower, which output error (V _out ) by the threshold voltage (V _nth ) compared to the input voltage (V _in ) as shown in Equation 1 below Occurs.

Thus, in order to compensate for the threshold voltage, a source follower for compensating the threshold voltage as illustrated in FIG. 2 is implemented, which is initially thresholded by the compensation capacitor C by implementing the compensation capacitor C at the input terminal. In this manner, the voltage is stored and then driven. The output voltage V _out is represented by Equation 2 below.

In addition, the source follower of which the threshold voltage is compensated as shown in FIG. 2 may function as an analog output buffer with a simple structure, but has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to apply to a high resolution panel due to a long stabilization time.

In addition, a conventional comparator-type analog output buffer as illustrated in FIG. 3 is used, which has a high speed and a low precision, but has a disadvantage in that the structure of the comparator is complicated and power consumption is high.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, the analog output buffer, that is, the analog output buffer used in the source driving circuit of the TFT-LCD panel, is implemented using low temperature poly-Si TFT, and the analog output buffer is implemented using low temperature poly-Si TFT. In this case, it can be driven in a short time without being affected by process change, and can show accurate precision, and it is possible to drive with low power consumption with simple structure.

That is, in the TFT-LCD panel to which the analog output buffer according to the present invention is applied, as shown in FIG. 4, the M-N panel is arranged based on the pixel array 10 arranged in an M × N matrix form. The data line is connected to the source driving circuit (or data driving circuit) 40 and the N scan lines are connected to the gate driving circuit (or scan driving circuit) 50.

The source driving circuit 40 includes a shift register 41, a sampling / holding latch 42, a digital-analog converter 43, and an analog output buffer. A shift register 41 generates an enable signal in the form of a pulse for sequentially storing a digital video signal input from the outside into the sampling / holding latch 42, and sampling / holding. The latch 42 stores the scan line digital video signal sampled by the shift register 41 in the sampling latch during the time that the scan line is driven, and keeps the previous scan line digital video signal static in the holding latch at the same time. It plays a role. The DA converter 43 converts the digital video signal received from the holding latch into an analog video signal voltage (ie, analog data), and the analog output buffer 44 is configured at the last stage of the source driving circuit 40, and the DA converter In order to charge the analog data converted by (43) to the corresponding pixel array 10 within a desired time, the current driving capability of the data is amplified.

In the TFT-LCD panel, the analog output buffer 44 is connected in series with the P-type source follower output of the buffer input terminal to the N-type source follower input of the buffer output terminal, as shown in FIG. The capacitor C1 is connected between the voltage input terminal of the source follower and the output terminal of the N-type source follower to store a voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage.

In addition, a first switch S1 is connected to an output terminal of the N-type source follower, and a discharge switch S1b that is turned on for a predetermined time to discharge the output terminal load is connected between the first switch S1 and the buffer output terminal. It is connected in parallel, and between the input terminal of the P-type source follower, the first switch (S1) and the capacitor (C1), the voltage of the load of the source follower (pre-charging) and the capacitor (C1) of the input voltage and output voltage The second switch S2, which is turned on to store the voltage corresponding to the difference, is connected to each other, and is also connected in parallel between the capacitor C1 and the second switch S2 to buffer the voltage stored in the capacitor C1. The third switch S3 is turned on to reflect the input of the P-type source follower through a contact between the input terminal and the second switch S2. Here, the discharge switch S1b performs a switching operation that is always opposite to the first switch S1.

Analog output buffer circuit having such a configuration is divided into three sections (T1, T2, T3) as shown in the timing diagram of Figure 6 attached to the first, during the first T1 time switch S1, 2, 3 (S1) , S2 and S3 are turned off and only the discharge switch S1b is turned on to discharge the load in the buffer output portion. During the second T2 time, the third switch S3 is maintained in the off state. In the first switch (S1) and the second switch (S2) is turned on (on) to charge the voltage to the load of the source follower, and also stores a voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage in the capacitor (C1) Done. In the last T3 time, as the first switch S1 remains on and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are inverted, that is, the second switch S2 is turned off and the third switch is turned off. S3 is turned on to reflect the voltage stored in the capacitor (C1) to the input of the P-type source follower to drive.

At this time, if the output voltage charged to the load of the source follower is less than the input voltage, the voltage stored in the capacitor C1 is the gate voltage of the voltage input terminal P-type TFT constituting the P-type source follower by the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage. If the output voltage is higher than the input voltage, the gate voltage of the voltage input terminal P-type TFT is lowered by the voltage stored in the capacitor C1 to drive the output voltage while maintaining the input voltage.

FIG. 7 shows only a source follower portion in the analog output buffer circuit shown in FIG. 5, which is connected to a P-type source follower and an N-type source follower in series.

Referring to the operation of the source follower, first, when a predetermined voltage V _in is supplied to the voltage input terminal of the P-type source follower, the input voltage V _in passes through the P-type source follower. The voltage at the first node 71 passing through the source follower becomes 'V _in + V _pth '. Here, 'V _pth ' means the threshold voltage of the P-type TFT.

Then, the voltage passing through the P-type source follower, that is, the voltage at the first node 71 passes through the N-type source follower again, and thus the voltage at the second node 72 passing through the N-type source follower. _Becomes '(V _in + V _pth ) -V _nth '. Here, 'V _nth ' means the threshold voltage of the N-type TFT.

As a result, when the above-described analog output buffer is applied to the source driving circuit of the TFT-LCD panel, the amount of voltage charged to the pixel of the TFT-LCD panel during the T2 time is 'V _in + (V _pth -V _nth )', that is, the input. The voltage V _in becomes the voltage applied by the threshold voltage difference V _pth -V _nth between the P-type TFT and the N-type TFT.

In addition, in the present invention, in implementing the analog output buffer circuit, since a two-stage source follower is used, the gain is increased (Ap × An), and accordingly, it is possible to charge at a higher speed.

In the present invention, when the threshold voltage changes, a difference occurs in the amount of voltage charged during the T2 time, but the voltage corresponding to the difference is stored in the capacitor C1, and the threshold voltage is driven again during the T3 time. It works without being affected by changes.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the connection order of the P-type source follower and the N-type follower constituting the analog output buffer circuit shown in FIG. 5 is reversed, that is, as shown in FIG. The input voltage and output voltage difference by connecting the output of the N-type source follower to the input of the P-type source follower The analog output buffer circuit can be implemented by storing the voltage corresponding to the voltage, which is driven by pre-discharging rather than voltage charging.

In the analog output buffer circuit shown in FIG. 8, the first, second, and third switches are connected as in FIG. 5, except that a predetermined voltage VDD is input between the first switch S1 and the buffer output terminal. In order to charge the output load, the charge switch (S1b) that is turned on for a predetermined time is connected in parallel with the voltage terminal. At this time, the charging switch S1b performs a switching operation that is always opposite to the first switch S1.

As shown in the timing diagram of FIG. 6, the analog output buffer circuit shown in FIG. 8 is divided into three sections T1, T2, and T3 and operates during the first T1 time. The 1,2,3 switches S1, S2, and S3 are turned off and only the charging switch S1b is turned on to receive the predetermined voltage VDD to charge the load in the buffer output portion. During the second T2 time period, the third switch S3 maintains the off state, while the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are turned on to discharge the voltage to the load of the source follower. In addition, the voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage is stored in the capacitor C1. Then, at the last T3 time, as the first switch S1 remains on and the second switch S2 and the third switch S3 are inverted, that is, the second switch S2 is turned off and the third switch is turned off. S3 is turned on to reflect the voltage stored in the capacitor (C1) to the input of the N-type source follower to drive.

At this time, when the output voltage discharged from the load of the source follower is smaller than the input voltage, the voltage stored in the capacitor C1 is equal to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage as the gate voltage of the N-type TFT of the voltage input terminal constituting the N-type source follower. When the output voltage is higher than the input voltage, the gate voltage of the voltage input terminal N-type TFT is further lowered by the voltage stored in the capacitor C1 to drive the output voltage while maintaining the input voltage.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, an analog output buffer circuit may be implemented by connecting a P-type source follower and an N-type follower in a cascode form. In this case, unlike the case where the analog output buffer is implemented by connecting the P-type source and the N-type source follower as described above, each source floor can be connected in cascode form to charge and discharge simultaneously. Initially, the buffer output stage can operate without charging or discharging the load.

In more detail, the analog output buffer circuit shown in FIG. 9 connects a P-type source follower and an N-type source follower to the buffer input terminal in a cascode form, and the buffer output terminal, the P-type source follower and N N-type TFT and P-type TFT are connected between the output terminal of the type source follower, and capacitor C1 is connected between the input terminal of the source follower and the output terminal of the TFT connected to the output terminal of each source follower. It is configured to store the voltage corresponding to.

In addition, an input terminal of the source follower, a buffer output terminal, and a capacitor C1 are turned on to charge or discharge a voltage in the load of the source follower and store a voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage in the capacitor C1. The first switch S1 is connected to each other, and is also connected in parallel between the capacitor C1 and the first switch S1, and the contact point between the buffer input terminal and the first switch S1 is connected to the voltage stored in the capacitor C1. Through the second switch (S2) which is turned on to reflect the input of the source follower is connected.

Since the analog output buffer circuit having such a configuration does not need a time for initially charging or discharging the load in the buffer output portion, the analog output buffer circuit is divided into two sections. During the first time, the second switch S2 is turned off. After the first switch S1 is turned on, the input voltage is compared with the voltage charged to the load of the source follower in the previous time, and accordingly, the voltage of the N-type follower is further charged or the P-type source follower is turned on. The input voltage is charged or discharged by discharging the voltage at the load of. That is, if the voltage charged to the load of the source follower in the previous time is larger than the input voltage, the voltage is charged by the N-type source follower, which is the second stage source follower, and conversely, the voltage charged to the load of the source follower in the previous time is If less than the input voltage, the voltage is discharged by the P-type source follower, which is the source follower of the first stage. At this time, the voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage is stored in the capacitor C1. Next time, the first switch S1 is turned off and the second switch S2 is turned on to reflect the voltage stored in the capacitor C1 to the input of each source follower.

On the other hand, in the above-described embodiment, each switch is composed of a thin film transistor, that is, a TFT, and may be configured as a P-type TFT switch, an N-type TFT switch, or a transmission gate type switch.

In addition, the embodiments according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various alternatives, modifications, and changes can be made within the scope apparent to those skilled in the art.

As described above, the present invention implements the analog output buffer used in the source driving circuit of the TFT-LCD panel by using a two-stage source follower and one capacitor using a low temperature poly-Si TFT, thereby increasing the gain in the two-stage configuration. Therefore, as the charging speed is improved, the pixel can be driven within a short time. Also, since the voltage corresponding to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage is stored in the capacitor and then driven again, the pixel can be driven accurately. It has a driving capability of precision.                     

In addition, since the analog output buffer has a simple structure, the present invention can reduce the area and power consumption, and implement analog circuits under the influence of process variation and kink effect, which require high gradation and high resolution, and have large deviations. Analog output buffers can be applied to tough low-temperature poly-Si TFT-LCD panels, and SOG (System-On-Glass) technology can be developed.
