Abstract

The present invention is a driving method for display whose display area is controlled by a common grid signal and a segment grid signal. A set of common selected signal and common non-selected signal, having a phase difference between them, are combined to form a common grid signal and a set of segment selected signal and segment non-selected signal. A set of segment selected signal and segment non-selected signal, having a phase difference between them, are combined to form a segment grid signal. In a selected duty zone, the present invention allows the common grid signal and the segment grid signal to be equal to the common selected signal and the segment selected signal, respectively, and uses the phase difference between each grid signal and its corresponding selected signal to generate a driving voltage whose square root is greater than the threshold voltage. Thus, the display area is in ON condition.

Description

200414115 玫、發明說明 (發明說明應敘明:發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡 單說明) 靈明所屬之技術領域 本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種 顯示器之驅動方法。 先前技術 對於簡單矩陣式液晶顯示器(Simple Matrix Liquid Crystal Display,簡稱SM-LCD)而言,其構造爲格子狀配 置之數個共同電極(亦稱爲掃瞄電極)及數個區段電極(亦稱 爲列電極),而共同電極與區段電極之間係夾著液晶。在 兩電極之間,係由外部提供驅動電壓訊號,而使各個畫素 藉由兩電極間的電位差而驅動。另外,SM-LCD會因爲共 同電極數的增加而伴隨交互干擾的問題,於是顯示畫素所 施加的電壓及非顯示畫素所施加的電壓之差値會減少,所 以SM-LCD的共同電極數會有所限制。 在 SM-LCD 中,扭曲向歹[j (Twisted Nematic,簡稱 TN) 型LCD是電極基板間封入具有正値鐵電率的異方向性p 型向列液晶,液晶分子的長軸方向係與電極面平行配置, 從電極基板的一邊到電極基板的另一邊之間,液晶分子的 長軸方向會成90度的扭曲配列。接下來將說明TN型LCD 的動作原理。請參照第1A圖,其繪示的是無外加電壓時, TN型LCD的動作原理示意圖。由第1A圖可知,液晶分 子102會隨著玻璃基板104與玻璃基板106之表面的配向 方向而扭曲配向。再者,利用偏光板108與偏光板110以 10494-PI-375 5 200414115 正交狀態夾住液晶分子102,而使得通過偏光板108的入 射光,會因爲液晶分子1〇2的90度扭曲配向(亦稱爲旋光 性),而通過偏光板Π0,而呈現出明亮的狀態。接下來請 參照第1B圖,其繪示的是施加外加電壓時,TN型LCD 的動作原理示意圖。由第1B圖可知,液晶分子102的旋 光性會消失,因此,入射光無法通過偏光板Π0,而呈現 出黑暗的狀態。而TN型LCD之外加電壓與相對光透射率 之間的關係圖,請參照第2圖所繪示。由第2圖可知,當 TN型LCD原來爲明売狀悲時’如果外加電壓超過臨界電 壓(Vth),則相對光透射率會急劇變化,而使TN型LCD 變成黑暗狀態。而TN型LCD的相對光透射率在很寬的頻 率範圍內,僅與驅動電壓的均方根値Vrms有關,亦即 νπι^Ίί[Τ(ί)]2Λ·.·(1),其中,V⑴爲電壓差,而T爲單 V i 〇 位時間。 對於目前的TN型LCD而言,其驅動方法都需採用 多電壓輸出的方式,藉由電壓差來達成LCD的顯示。如 此一來,就需要額外的偏壓分壓電路,而使得工作電流增 大。這對於以電池供應的LCD而言,會存在無法長時間 運作的問題。 爲了更淸楚了解習知的LCD之驅動方法,接下來請 參照第3A圖,其繪示的是以習知之一種LCD之驅動方法 所達成的顯示圖形。由第3 A圖可知’顯不圖形3 〇是由四 個共同電極訊號(COM1-COM4)及二個區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+Ι)所控制。接下來請參照第3B圖,其繪示 10494-PI-375 6 200414115 的是達成第3A圖之顯示圖形中之共同選擇訊號、共同非 選擇訊號、區段選擇訊號、區段非選擇訊號、共同電極訊 號以及區段電極訊號之波形圖,第3B圖也繪出加在COM4 與SEGn兩訊號交點之顯示區的訊號波形圖。由第3B圖 可知,共同電極訊號(COM 1-COM4)及區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+Ι)在單位時間T內,皆具有四個責任(duty) 區。每一共同電極訊號皆有各自不同時間點的一個責任區 爲選擇責任區,在此選擇責任區內共同電極訊號爲共同選 擇訊號,並有三個責任區爲非選擇責任區,在此非選擇責 任區內共同電極訊號爲共同非選擇訊號。例如’共同電極 訊號COM1在0-0.25T(選擇責任區)內會輸出共同選擇訊 號,在其餘的0.75T(非選擇責任區)內會輸出共同非選擇 訊號。當欲使顯示區爲開啓狀態時,則使區段電極訊號 (SEGn,SEGn+Ι)中對應選擇責任區時的訊號爲區段選擇 訊號;當欲使顯示區爲關閉狀態時,則使區段電極訊號中 對應選擇責任區時的訊號爲區段非選擇訊號。再者,由第 3B圖亦可知,偏壓電壓包括Vl=Vcc,V2=2/3Vcc, V3 = l/3Vcc,以及接地電位Vgnd,其中Vcc爲電源供應器 所提供的正電壓。 在第3B圖所繪示的單位時間T內,共同選擇訊號的 電壓(Vcom選)=V1,共同非選擇訊號的電壓(Vcom非 選)=V3,區段選擇訊號的電壓(Vseg選)=Vgnd,而區段非 選擇訊號的電壓(Vseg非選)=V2。接下來將根據公式(1) ’ 而求出開啓驅動電壓(Vonrms)及關閉驅動電壓(VoffYms)。 10494-PI-375 7 200414115200414115 Description of the invention (The description of the invention should state: the technical field to which the invention belongs, the prior art, the content, the embodiments and the brief description of the drawings) The technical field to which Lingming belongs The present invention relates to a display device, and in particular A driving method for a display. In the prior art, for a Simple Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (SM-LCD), it is structured as a plurality of common electrodes (also referred to as scanning electrodes) and a plurality of segment electrodes (also referred to as scanning electrodes) arranged in a grid pattern. (Referred to as a column electrode), and a liquid crystal is sandwiched between the common electrode and the segment electrode. A driving voltage signal is externally provided between the two electrodes, so that each pixel is driven by a potential difference between the two electrodes. In addition, SM-LCD will be accompanied by the problem of mutual interference due to the increase in the number of common electrodes, so the difference between the voltage applied by the display pixels and the voltage applied by the non-display pixels will be reduced, so the number of common electrodes of the SM-LCD will be reduced. There will be restrictions. In SM-LCD, twisted nematic [j (Twisted Nematic, TN) LCDs are p-type nematic liquid crystals with anisotropic p-type ferroelectricity sealed between the electrode substrates. The major axis of the liquid crystal molecules is related to the electrodes. The planes are arranged in parallel, and from one side of the electrode substrate to the other side of the electrode substrate, the long axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules is aligned in a twist of 90 degrees. The operation principle of the TN LCD will be described next. Please refer to FIG. 1A, which shows a schematic diagram of the operation principle of the TN LCD when no external voltage is applied. It can be seen from FIG. 1A that the liquid crystal molecules 102 are distorted in alignment with the alignment directions of the surfaces of the glass substrate 104 and the glass substrate 106. Furthermore, the polarizing plate 108 and the polarizing plate 110 are used to sandwich the liquid crystal molecules 102 in an orthogonal state of 10494-PI-375 5 200414115, so that the incident light passing through the polarizing plate 108 will be distorted by 90 degrees of the liquid crystal molecules 102 (Also known as optical rotation), and the polarizing plate Π0 presents a bright state. Next, please refer to FIG. 1B, which shows a schematic diagram of the operation principle of the TN LCD when an external voltage is applied. As can be seen from Fig. 1B, the optical rotation of the liquid crystal molecules 102 disappears. Therefore, the incident light cannot pass through the polarizing plate Π0, and appears dark. For the relationship between the external voltage and the relative light transmittance of the TN LCD, please refer to Figure 2. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that when the TN type LCD is originally bright and sad, if the applied voltage exceeds the threshold voltage (Vth), the relative light transmittance will change sharply, and the TN type LCD will become dark. The relative light transmittance of the TN LCD is in a wide frequency range, which is only related to the root mean square of the driving voltage 値 Vrms, which is νπι ^ Ίί [Τ (ί)] 2Λ ·. · (1), where V⑴ is the voltage difference, and T is the single V i 0 bit time. For current TN-type LCDs, the driving methods need to adopt a multi-voltage output method, and the LCD display is achieved by the voltage difference. As a result, an additional bias voltage-dividing circuit is required, which increases the operating current. This has the problem that the battery-powered LCD cannot operate for a long time. In order to better understand the conventional LCD driving method, please refer to FIG. 3A, which shows a display pattern achieved by the conventional LCD driving method. It can be seen from Fig. 3A that the 'display pattern 30' is controlled by four common electrode signals (COM1-COM4) and two segment electrode signals (SEGn, SEGn + 1). Next, please refer to FIG. 3B, which shows that 10494-PI-375 6 200414115 achieves the common selection signal, common non-selection signal, segment selection signal, segment non-selection signal, common in the display graph of FIG. 3A. Waveform diagram of electrode signal and segment electrode signal. Figure 3B also shows the signal waveform diagram of the display area added at the intersection of COM4 and SEGn. As can be seen from Figure 3B, the common electrode signal (COM 1-COM4) and the segment electrode signal (SEGn, SEGn + 1) each have four duty zones within a unit time T. Each common electrode signal has its own responsibility area at different time points as the selection responsibility area. Here, the common electrode signals in the responsibility area are selected as the common selection signal, and there are three responsibility areas as non-selection responsibility areas. The common electrode signals in the area are common non-selective signals. For example, the common electrode signal COM1 outputs a common selection signal in the range of 0-0.25T (selection responsibility area), and a common non-selection signal in the remaining 0.75T (non-selection area of responsibility). When the display area is to be turned on, the signal corresponding to the selection of the responsibility area in the segment electrode signals (SEGn, SEGn + 1) is the segment selection signal; when the display area is to be turned off, the area is turned on. The signal in the segment electrode signal corresponding to the selection of the responsibility zone is the segment non-selection signal. Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 3B, the bias voltage includes Vl = Vcc, V2 = 2 / 3Vcc, V3 = l / 3Vcc, and ground potential Vgnd, where Vcc is a positive voltage provided by the power supply. In the unit time T shown in Figure 3B, the voltage of the common selection signal (Vcom selection) = V1, the voltage of the common non-selection signal (Vcom selection) = V3, and the voltage of the segment selection signal (Vseg selection) = Vgnd, and the voltage of the segment non-selection signal (Vseg non-selection) = V2. Next, the on-driving voltage (Vonrms) and the off-driving voltage (VoffYms) will be obtained according to formula (1) '. 10494-PI-375 7 200414115

It can be known from the above that the conventional LCD controls the change of the display area by the voltage difference between the common selection signal and the segment selection signal. Since the conventional LCD display method must have a bias voltage divider circuit, etc., the operating current is large and the power consumption is large. Therefore, for LCDs supplied by batteries, there is a problem that they cannot operate for a long time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, the present invention provides a method for driving a display, which uses the phase difference between a common electrode signal and a segment electrode signal when selecting a responsibility area to control the change of the display area, so there is no need to use a current-consuming bias 10494. -PI-375 8 200414115 Voltage divider circuit, etc., so it can simplify the driving circuit of the display and save power loss.
