請參考圖3,圖3為本發明實施例激光訊號產生電路10的操作波型示意圖。由於激光訊號產生電路10/11/12具有相似的結構,因此本發明接著針對激光訊號產生電路10的操作以較佳地說明激光訊號產生電路10/11/12的操作。在本實施例中,激光訊號產生電路10接收前級激光訊號EM0以及時脈訊號CK1、CK3以輸出激光訊號EM1。電壓準位Vref1為接地電壓準位,電壓準位Vref2為工作電壓準位。電壓準位Vref1低於電壓準位Vref2。電晶體M11~M17為P型金氧半場效電晶體(P-Type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,PMOSFET)。Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the operation waveform of the laser
如圖3所示,當激光訊號產生電路10操作在時間區間T10中時,前級激光訊號EM0在電壓準位Vref2,時脈訊號CK1在電壓準位Vref2,時脈訊號CK3在電壓準位Vref1。節點N11的電壓透過電容C12耦合時脈訊號CK3,會下拉至低於電壓準位Vref1,進而致能下拉電路PD1。因此,在時間區間T10中,激光訊號產生電路10透過時脈訊號CK3維持激光輸出節點NO_EM的電壓在電壓準位Vref1。As shown in FIG. 3, when the laser
當激光訊號產生電路10操作在時間區間T11中時,時脈訊號CK1由電壓準位Vref2切換至電壓準位Vref1,時脈訊號CK3由電壓準位Vref1切換至電壓準位Vref2。節點N11的電壓透過電晶體M11傳遞前級激光訊號EM0,會被上拉至電壓準位Vref2,進而失能下拉電路PD1。節點N12的電壓透過電容C11耦合時脈訊號CK1,會被下拉至電壓準位Vref1。節點N13的電壓透過電晶體M14提供電壓準位Vref1,會被下拉至電壓準位Vref1,進而致能上拉電路PU1。因此,在時間區間T11中,激光訊號產生電路10透過時脈訊號CK1提供電壓準位Vref2至激光輸出節點NO_EM。When the laser

當激光訊號產生電路10操作在時間區間T14中時,時脈訊號CK1由電壓準位Vref2切換至電壓準位Vref1,時脈訊號CK3由電壓準位Vref1切換至電壓準位Vref2。節點N11的電壓透過電晶體M11傳遞前級激光訊號EM0,會下拉至電壓準位Vref2,進而致能下拉電路PD1。節點N13的電壓可透過電晶體M13上拉至電壓準位Vref2,進而失能上拉電路PU1。因此,在時間區間T14中,激光訊號產生電路10可透過前級激光訊號EM0輸出電壓準位Vref1。When the laser
因此,本發明的驅動訊號產生器1中互相串接的激光訊號產生電路10、11、12,可根據前級激光訊號EM0及時脈訊號CK1~CK3產生依序致能的激光訊號EM1~EM3。如此一來,本發明的驅動訊號產生器1僅需要較少的時脈訊號的數量,因而有效降低硬體設計的複雜度以及顯示面板的功率消耗。Therefore, the laser

需注意的是,前述實施例係用以說明本發明之概念,本領域具通常知識者當可據以做不同之修飾,而不限於此。舉例來說,驅動訊號產生器2中的電晶體並非僅限於P型金氧半場效電晶體,亦可為N型金氧半場效電晶體。在一實施例中,驅動訊號產生器2中的所有電晶體為N型金氧半場效電晶體,電壓準位Vref1為工作電壓準位,電壓準位Vref2為接地電壓準位,電壓準位Vref1高於電壓準位Vref2。It should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are used to illustrate the concept of the present invention, and those with ordinary knowledge in the art can make various modifications accordingly, and are not limited thereto. For example, the transistors in the
綜上所述,本發明的驅動訊號產生器僅需三個依序致能且致能時間不互相重疊的時脈訊號,即可產生依序致能的激光訊號及掃描訊號來驅動顯示面板中的畫素電路。因此,本發明的驅動訊號產生器可僅需要較少的時脈訊號的數量,因而有效降低硬體設計的複雜度以及顯示面板的功率消耗。In summary, the driving signal generator of the present invention only needs three clock signals that are sequentially enabled and the enabling time does not overlap each other, and can generate sequentially enabled laser signals and scanning signals to drive the display panel Pixel circuit. Therefore, the driving signal generator of the present invention can only require a small number of clock signals, thereby effectively reducing the complexity of hardware design and the power consumption of the display panel.
