Description
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to a liquid crystal display device in which a voltage level of an analog voltage is varied according to a temperature environment.
Liquid crystal display is a display device that realizes an image by controlling the amount of light incident from a light source using the optical anisotropy of liquid crystal molecules and the polarization characteristics of a polarizing film. In recent years, its power consumption is small, and its application range is rapidly expanding.
A general liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a driving voltage generator, a gate driver, a gamma voltage generator, a data driver, and a signal controller for controlling them. The driving voltage generation unit receives a predetermined power supply voltage PVDD and generates and outputs an analog voltage AVDD which is a reference for various driving power sources required for driving the liquid crystal display. The driving voltage generator generates a gate on voltage Von, a gate off voltage Voff, a common voltage Vcom, and the like based on the analog voltage. The gamma voltage generator generates a plurality of levels of gray voltages based on the reference voltage provided from the driving voltage generator.
Meanwhile, at least one thin film transistor formed of amorphous silicon is typically provided in each pixel of a general liquid crystal display panel. In particular, recently, a technique of directly forming a gate driver in a liquid crystal display panel using an amorphous silicon thin film transistor has been developed. However, in the case of the amorphous silicon thin film transistor, the operation characteristics are good in the room temperature environment, but the operation characteristics are significantly degraded in the low temperature environment. Therefore, it is necessary to variably control the voltage level of the gate-on signal Von according to the ambient temperature. To this end, in the related art, a temperature compensation circuit is additionally provided in the driving voltage generator to increase the output signal, that is, the voltage level of the analog voltage AVDD, so that the driving capability of the liquid crystal display may not be degraded even in a low temperature environment. Doing.
However, when the temperature compensation circuit is used, other voltages generated on the basis of the analog voltage AVDD are varied together. For example, when the analog voltage AVDD is used as the intermediate voltage of the gamma voltage generator, the voltage level GMAcnt of the intermediate gamma voltage is changed and shakes together with the analog voltage AVDD. There is a problem in that the display quality is lowered.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to overcome the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of preventing a deterioration of gamma characteristics due to a change in the voltage level of an analog voltage according to a temperature environment.

And a second temperature compensator for controlling to eliminate the voltage variation of the driving power supply.
The driving voltage generator includes a DC-DC converter for generating an analog voltage, a gate voltage generator for generating a gate voltage using the analog voltage, and a common voltage generator for generating a common voltage using the analog voltage. The first temperature compensator is preferably provided in the DC-DC converter.
The first temperature compensator preferably uses a resistance element in which a resistance value is changed according to an ambient temperature. For example, it may be configured by connecting a plurality of diodes. At this time, the temperature compensation rate of the first temperature compensator is controlled by the total number of diodes.
The gamma voltage generator is configured to generate a plurality of levels of gamma voltages by voltage-dividing the driving voltage by dividing the driving voltage to generate a first voltage, and by dividing the driving voltage by using the first voltage as an intermediate gamma value. And a second voltage generator, wherein the first temperature compensator is provided at an input front end of the first voltage divider.
The second temperature compensator preferably uses a resistance element in which a resistance value is changed according to an ambient temperature. For example, it may be configured by connecting a plurality of diodes. At this time, the temperature compensation rate of the second temperature compensator is controlled by the total number of diodes.
Preferably, the first and second temperature compensators are adjusted to have temperature compensation rates. For example, the first and second temperature compensators may be configured of the same number of diodes.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the temperature compensation part is provided in the driving voltage generation unit so that the voltage level of the analog voltage is changed according to the temperature environment, so that the liquid crystal display can be smoothly driven even in a low temperature environment.
In addition, the present invention is provided with a temperature compensation unit in the gamma voltage generation unit to eliminate the voltage fluctuations due to the variable control of the analog voltage, thereby preventing the gamma characteristics from deteriorating even if the voltage level of the analog voltage is variable.
