Abstract

A discharging control circuit and method thereof is provided for a liquid crystal display (LCD). The discharging circuit includes a signal-off detector and an all-gate-on delay cell. When a LCD off signal is detected, a first control signal is transmitted to a power supply module for turning off power except that supplying gate-on voltage, yet turning off VGH as well after a specific delay time. A second control signal is also transmitted to the gate-on-delay cell, so that all gates of the pixel transistors are turned on after a second specific delay time. Electronic charges on the pixel transistor are discharged via a source thereof before the gate-on voltage decreases below a threshold value, such that a residual image phenomenon that is caused by heterogeneous filming fabrication is eliminated.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a tidal phenomenon using energy storage elements to neutralize. [Previous technology] A kind of electric charge neutralization circuit and electric charge circuit device, and especially related to solving the liquid crystal display development in process / main process including photoresist, exposure, and expansion. Among them, the photoresist step is mainly based on the photoresist of the soil, and it is easy to cause the middle of the glass substrate = the photoresist of the cloth is thinner than the photoresist applied around it; on the other hand, the glass The middle area of the substrate is used as the back side, and the surface is engraved faster than the surrounding area, resulting in a finished film system with a value of -0 and a low leakage current. After the glass substrate of this type is assembled into a cutting panel, the image data is accessed by day capacitors. However, when the power is turned off, the channel-off leakage current varies according to the distribution in different regions, and the speed of discharge is naturally different. Therefore, a 1-element capacitor located in the middle region of the glass substrate takes a long time to discharge charge when the power is turned off. Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of a liquid crystal panel produced by a thin film transistor process on a glass substrate, including a liquid crystal panel 100, in which a pixel region 10 in the upper right corner divided into four regions is taken as an example. The closed irregular curve 110 indicates that the channel closing leakage current is lower and higher. When the power is turned off, since the area surrounded by 110 takes a long time to discharge the charge, which means that the image will take a long time to fade from the corresponding diurnal hormone. For the user, the residual diurnal surface will see a tide-like disappearance. Taking block 102 as an example, the faded square 1237229 13528twf.doc is shown in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1. film! 1 髀: The thin film transistor process for night crystal display applications' causes a phase difference. The corresponding on-current (Icm) and off-leakage current (i0ff) are 5 to 6 times the power of the second conductor. For example, if the transistor voltage is 24V at the pole, the voltage is about A, The transistor gate ^ is -6V 'in the closed state, and the leakage current Ioff is about pA. Xixia level: At the same time when the power of the display is turned off, because Ioff is smaller than Ion, it is clear that the high-resolution panel That is, it is easier to observe the image sticking / moon sand phenomenon. In more detail, when the power is turned off, the capacitance of the thin film transistor film is different, and the required discharge time is different. Different, so the afterglow daylight surface like the ebb tide appears on the panel. At this time, the thin film transistor itself is also switched to the off state, and the charge in the day capacitor can only be discharged through the data scanning line by the leakage current. However, it can be known from the above that I0ff is on the order of pA, and the discharge speed is to the naked eye of the user. In other words, there is an obvious non-uniform residual image, which means tidal phenomenon. This phenomenon can not be improved simply by increasing the Ioff current, because the increase in the Ioff specification of the thin film transistor itself in the manufacturing process will cause other image characteristics to deteriorate, such as flicker. Therefore, the tidal phenomenon of thin crystal transistors needs to be improved in circuit design. Figure 2A of McCaw is a circuit 200 in the conventional art that accelerates the gate voltage of a transistor to ground potential GND when the power is turned off. The energy storage element is used to gradually pull the gate voltage while the power is turned off. The voltage trend to the GND potential is quickly pulled to GND. From Figures 2B and 2C, it can be seen that the gate potential returns to the ground source level before and after the circuit improvement. The response is 1237229 13528twf.doc. Otherwise: However, this mechanism is only applicable to thin film transistors: = = = 到_Level; if the thin-film transistor is turned on and cannot be effectively turned on, the age phenomenon is still lacking. Therefore, a 'financial-efficiency integration circuit' is required, so that the gate voltage is still sufficient to effectively neutralize the charges on the pixels with each other when the power is turned off, and the problem of the tidal phenomenon of the liquid crystal panel is resolved. / [Summary of the Invention] In summary, an object of the present invention is to provide a charge neutralization control circuit 'applicable to-a liquid crystal display panel without changing the conditions of the panel film formation and private use' > A tidal phenomenon caused by the fact that the transistor cannot provide an effective discharge path when it is turned off. ^ Another object of the present invention is to provide a charge neutralization control circuit, which is suitable for the specific application integrated circuit (asic), control, the time point at which the film transistor is turned on, and With thin-film electricity, when the body gate is fully open, 'the LCD panel has a sufficiently high transistor startup level after shutdown' to effectively neutralize the charge on the day element to eliminate the tide and sand phenomenon. That is, the charge neutralization control circuit provided by the present invention is suitable for eliminating the tidal phenomenon of the liquid crystal display panel. It uses a signal switch signal detection unit (signai—0ff detect) that is built in the specific application integrated circuit (Sic). r) to detect / control the state of the signal. When the signal switch detection unit cannot detect the output signal of a main control unit, it indicates that the system is in the off state. At this time, an extremely fully open signal (A11_gate_on) is at a low enable level, and the LCD 1237229 13528twf.doc The gates of all thin-film transistors are all turned on, the liquid is said, the electricity stored in the storage volume passes through the thin-film circuit, and is connected to the storage capacitors and other energy storage elements in the daylight; In an integrated circuit (ASIC), the charge includes a surface measurement element and a gate delay unit, in which the measurement unit is coupled to-mainly ... the hole surface needs to control mk for two low levels to cause one of f疋 Power enable function DCJDC.ENA, ㈣ input, switch off the input voltage at the switching device, and the domain to Vgh, the delay unit, so that VGH has a delay time before the power is turned off to maintain the thin film transistor. The required critical voltage for riding. Other power sources such as analog voltage source, transistor shutdown voltage, and common voltage are set to be turned off at the same time as the DC-DC.ENA signal is sent. The signal detection unit sends another Aii-gate_on signal to make the gates of all thin film transistors open, and determines the time point of this action. The gate delay unit is used to control the DC-DC.ENA generation time. -The action starts after a certain time interval. Generally in a LCD panel system, the normal shutdown procedure turns off the power in the following order: the backlight module, the signal supply module, and the power module. The power-off sequence of the present invention operates in the sequence described below. After DCJDC.ENA is activated, the analog voltage source VDDA, the gate scanning line voltage VEEG, and the common voltage Vcom must be turned off first, and their voltages will decrease to zero potential GND with time. On the other hand, in order for the gate of the thin-film transistor to fully turn on, the VGH turn-off time must be delayed, and 1237229 13528twf.doc knows that there is a sufficient voltage level to open the gate. The time difference between Vgh and DC ~ DC.ENA is adjusted by the VGH delay unit. All gates must be turned on after VDDA is decremented to GND. All gates are turned on, and the charge is quickly neutralized by the path on the source side of the transistor. The gates must be turned on at the latest VGH at the latest. Before the voltage reaches the minimum voltage that can turn on the gate of the transistor. As mentioned above, the charge neutralization control circuit in the present invention can be integrated into an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) module of a liquid crystal panel to solve the problem of tide, and the inside of the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is used. The circuit is implemented in cooperation with external circuits, so the number of components on the printed wiring board can be reduced, the cost reduction effect can be achieved, and the layout design of the printed wiring board can be simplified. According to the charge neutralization circuit in the present invention, the timing of VGH opening and the timing of the gate fully opening are controlled, so that after the panel shutdown command is issued, there is a sufficient level for the Lai transistor to be turned on, effectively neutralizing the amount of charge on the pixel. And off to solve the tide and sand problem. In addition, the tidal phenomenon caused by the different characteristics of the transistor distribution in each area of the panel due to the film formation process of the thin film transistor, etc., can be improved by using the method without changing the process. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention clearer, ”said Yi Yi I.“ A preferred embodiment is given below and will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.

When the signal switch detection unit 414 can not detect a master control = unit 412 When the signal is displayed, it means that the LCD panel system is in the closed state. At this time, the All-gate-on signal is at a low level, and all the thin, transistor gates are all turned on. Refer to Figure 3, and show In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a circuit is used to neutralize the electric charge accumulated in the liquid crystal storage capacitor 31 through the source terminal of the thin film transistor 320. Among them, 30 μ is a source driving line, and 302 is a gate driving. Line; if thin film transistor 3 The source of 20 cannot be controlled. If the method described in this issue makes the charge towel and the signal on the gate drive, the signal on the line cannot timely keep the gate open before the charge is neutralized. The leakage current is too small when the process is turned off due to the process. And because of unevenness, the charge on the transistor must be slowly discharged through the path of the source drive line 301, and the transistor's discharge rate in each area of the panel is also different to produce a tidal phenomenon. Please refer to Figure 4, again According to the charge neutralization control circuit provided by the present invention, the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 410 adapted for a liquid crystal panel, 1 the charge neutralization control circuit includes a signal_unit 414 and an interrogation delay unit 416. The signal detection unit 414 is coupled to a main control unit 412 and provides two low-level enable signals, one of which is a power enable signal DC-DC.ENA, which is lightly connected to the power supply module. ^ Turn off the input voltage at the switching device of the power input terminal and couple the transistor gate-on-level (VGH) delay unit 43 to make vgh have a delay time before turning off the power to maintain the gate of the thin-film transistor ㈣ ^ required Threshold voltage. Others, such as analog voltage source VDDA, thyristor 11 1237229 13528twf.doc, and other power supply parts such as the pole close level VGL, and common voltage VCOM, are set to be turned off at the same time as the DCJDC.ENA signal. The signal detection unit 414 In addition, an All gate on signal is sent to make the gates of all thin film transistors open and determine the time point of operation. This time point can be controlled by the gate delay unit to start the operation after a specific time interval of DC-DC.ENA. In the LCD panel system, the normal shutdown procedure turns off the power in the following order: backlight module, signal supply module, and power module. According to the power-off sequence of the present invention, the power supply sequence operation described below is illustrated in FIG. 5. After DC-DC.ENA is activated, the analog voltage source VDDA, the gate scanning line voltage VEEG, and the common voltage Vc0m must be turned off first, and their voltages will decrease to zero potential GND with time. On the other hand, in order to fully turn on the gate of the thin film transistor, the VGH turn-off delay must be delayed so that there is a sufficient voltage level to open the gate. The time difference between VGH and DC_DC.ENA is adjusted by the VGH delay unit. All gates must be turned on after VDDA is decremented to GND before all gates are forced to open, and the charge is quickly neutralized by the path on the source side of the transistor; the gates must be turned on at the latest at vgh voltage Before the minimum voltage to reach the gate of the transistor is reached. As shown in Fig. 6, the start and end of the gate-on signal range need to be delayed ^ vgh to delay the start and end of the control range, respectively.
