本發明係關於一種參考電壓產生電路、顯示面板及顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a reference voltage generating circuit, a display panel, and a display device.

隨著顯示科技的發展,顯示裝置及其產品已經廣泛地被人們使用。With the development of display technology, display devices and their products have been widely used.

請參照圖1所示,習知之一顯示裝置1係包含一系統電壓源11、一直流-直流電源轉換器(DC-DC converter)12、一參考電壓產生電路13、一驅動電路14及一畫素陣列15。Referring to FIG. 1 , a display device 1 includes a system voltage source 11 , a DC-DC converter 12 , a reference voltage generating circuit 13 , a driving circuit 14 , and a picture . Prime array 15.

直流-直流電源轉換器12係將系統電壓源11所輸出之系統電壓V1C (一般約為3.3V~5V)轉換為一升壓電壓V1A (一般約9V~13V),並分別將其提供至參考電壓產生電路13、驅動電路14及顯示裝置1之其他部件以作為運作時所需之電源。The DC-DC power converter 12 converts the system voltage V1 C (generally about 3.3V~5V) outputted by the system voltage source 11 into a boost voltage V1 A (generally about 9V~13V), and provides them separately. The reference voltage generating circuit 13, the driving circuit 14, and other components of the display device 1 are used as power sources required for operation.

請同時參照圖1及圖2所示,參考電壓產生電路13係具有複數個電阻器R1a~R1k ,其係依序串聯形成一電阻串131。其中電阻串131係依據升壓電壓V1A 而產生複數個參考電壓V1R a ~V1R j 以輸出至驅動電路14。驅動電路14係接收一影像資料,並依據與影像資料相對應之參考電壓以產生一驅動電壓V1D 來驅動畫素陣列15顯示一畫面。Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, the reference voltage generating circuit 13 has a plurality of resistors R1a to R1 k which are sequentially connected in series to form a resistor string 131. The resistor string 131 generates a plurality of reference voltages V1 R a VV1 R j according to the boost voltage V1 A to be output to the driving circuit 14. The driving circuit 14 receives an image data and drives the pixel array 15 to display a picture according to a reference voltage corresponding to the image data to generate a driving voltage V1 D.

然而,隨著顯示畫面的不同,使得驅動電路14所產生之驅動電壓V1D 亦不同,造成直流-直流電源轉換器12所對應的負載(loading)不一而導致升壓電壓V1A 容易夾帶有雜訊。另外,直流-直流電源轉換器12將系統電壓V1C 轉換為升壓電壓V1A 的過程亦容易使升壓電壓V1A 夾帶有雜訊,而使參考電壓產生電路13所產生之參考電壓V1R a ~V1R j 不穩定,導致顯示畫面出現干擾(crosstalk)等問題,而降低顯示裝置1之顯示品質。However, as the display screen is different, the driving voltage V1 D generated by the driving circuit 14 is also different, causing the load corresponding to the DC-DC power converter 12 to be different, so that the boosting voltage V1 A is easily carried. Noise. In addition, the process of converting the system voltage V1 C to the boosted voltage V1 A by the DC-DC power converter 12 also causes the boosted voltage V1 A to be interspersed with noise, and the reference voltage V1 R generated by the reference voltage generating circuit 13 is made. a ~V1 R j is unstable, causing problems such as crosstalk on the display screen, and lowering the display quality of the display device 1.

為了解決上述問題,業者開發出具有穩壓功能之參考電壓產生電路。In order to solve the above problems, the industry has developed a reference voltage generating circuit having a voltage stabilizing function.

請參照圖3所示,習知之參考電壓產生電路13’與上述之參考電壓產生電路13(如圖2所示)不同的是,參考電壓產生電路13’更包含一並聯穩壓器132’(shunt regulator),以與電阻串131之一端E11 電性連接,其中並聯穩壓器132’係由至少一稽納二極體(Zener diode)Z1 及二個電阻器RZ 1 、RZ 2 所組成以穩定電阻串131之一端E11 的電壓值,俾使參考電壓產生電路13’所產生之參考電壓V1R a ~V1R j 穩定。其中,電阻串131之一端E11 的電壓值可透過調整電阻器RZ 1 、RZ 2 的電阻值而改變。Referring to FIG. 3, the conventional reference voltage generating circuit 13' is different from the reference voltage generating circuit 13 (shown in FIG. 2), and the reference voltage generating circuit 13' further includes a shunt regulator 132' ( Shunt regulator) is electrically connected to one end E1 1 of the resistor string 131, wherein the shunt regulator 132' is composed of at least one Zener diode Z 1 and two resistors R Z 1 , R Z 2 composition to stabilize the voltage value of the one end of the resistor string 131 E1 1, Bishi reference voltage generating circuit 13 'generated by the reference voltage V1 R a ~ V1 R j stable. The voltage value of one end E1 1 of the resistor string 131 can be changed by adjusting the resistance values of the resistors R Z 1 and R Z 2 .

然而,由於並聯穩壓器132’所消耗的電能大約與升壓電壓V1A 的大小成正比,且升壓電壓V1A 的大小係依據實際的設計而決定,並無法任意變更,所以導致顯示裝置1無法有效降低電能的損耗。However, since the size of the shunt regulator is proportional to 132 'about the electrical energy consumed by the boosted voltage V1 A, and the magnitude of the boosted voltage V1 A system based on the actual design decisions, and can not be arbitrarily changed, resulting in a display device 1 can not effectively reduce the loss of electrical energy.

[第一較佳實施例之參考電壓產生電路][Reference voltage generating circuit of the first preferred embodiment]

請參照圖4所示,本發明第一較佳實施例之參考電壓產生電路21係以一珈瑪(Gamma)參考電壓產生電路為例。參考電壓產生電路21係與一第一電壓產生電路22及一第二電壓產生電路23配合。其中,第一電壓產生電路22係產生一第一電壓V2C ,且第二電壓產生電路23係產生一第二電壓V2A 。參考電壓產生電路21係包含一電流鏡211以及一分壓單元212。Referring to FIG. 4, the reference voltage generating circuit 21 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by a gamma reference voltage generating circuit. The reference voltage generating circuit 21 is coupled to a first voltage generating circuit 22 and a second voltage generating circuit 23. The first voltage generating circuit 22 generates a first voltage V2 C , and the second voltage generating circuit 23 generates a second voltage V2 A . The reference voltage generating circuit 21 includes a current mirror 211 and a voltage dividing unit 212.

電流鏡211係與第一電壓產生電路22電性連接,並依據第一電壓V2C 產生一輸入電流I2I 及一輸出電流I2O 。其中,輸出電流I2O 與輸入電流I2I 之間具有一固定比值。The current mirror 211 is electrically connected to the first voltage generating circuit 22, and generates an input current I2 I and an output current I2 O according to the first voltage V2 C . There is a fixed ratio between the output current I2 O and the input current I2 I.

分壓單元212具有複數個電阻器R2a ~R2k ,其係相互串聯。其中,電阻器R2a ~R2k 的個數可依照實際的狀況而不同。分壓單元212之一端E21 係與第二電壓產生電路23電性連接,且分壓單元212之另一端E22 係與電流鏡211電性連接以依據輸出電流I2O 及第二電壓V2A 產生複數個參考電壓V2R a ~V2R j 。其中,該等參考電壓V2R a ~V2R j 之間的電壓差係與輸出電流I2O 的大小相關,且該等參考電壓V2R a ~V2R j 的電壓準位係與第二電壓V2A 相關。The voltage dividing unit 212 has a plurality of resistors R2 a to R2 k which are connected in series with each other. Among them, the number of resistors R2 a to R2 k may vary according to actual conditions. One end E2 1 of the voltage dividing unit 212 is electrically connected to the second voltage generating circuit 23, and the other end E2 2 of the voltage dividing unit 212 is electrically connected to the current mirror 211 according to the output current I2 O and the second voltage V2 A. A plurality of reference voltages V2 R a ~V2 R j are generated. The voltage difference between the reference voltages V2 R a ~V2 R j is related to the magnitude of the output current I2 O , and the voltage levels of the reference voltages V2 R a ~V2 R j and the second voltage V2 A related.

在本實施例中,電流鏡211係具有一第一電晶體Q2 1 及一第二電晶體Q2 2 。其中,第一電晶體Q2 1 之閘極G2 1 、第一電晶體Q2 1 之汲極D2 1 及第二電晶體Q2 2 之閘極G2 2 係電性連接至第一電壓產生電路22,第一電晶體Q2 1 之源極S2 1 及第二電晶體Q2 2 之源極S2 2 係接地,且第二電晶體Q2 2 之汲極D2 2 係與分壓單元212之另一端E22 電性連接俾使輸出電流I2O 流經分壓單元212及第二電晶體Q2 2 。另外,固定比值係與第一電晶體Q2 1 之通道區域寬長比及第二電晶體Q2 2 之通道區域寬長比相關連。在本實施例中,第一電晶體Q2 1 及第二電晶體Q2 2 係為一N型金氧半電晶體(NMOS)。In this embodiment, the current mirror 211 has a first transistor Q 2 1 and a second transistor Q 2 2 . Wherein the first gate transistor Q 21 of the pole 21 G, a first transistor Q D Drain electrode 21 of the transistor 21 and the second shutter 22 is extremely Q G 22 is electrically connected to the first system voltage generating circuit 22, a first source transistor Q 2 1 2 1 and S-pole of the second source transistor Q 2 2 2 2 S-pole of the system is grounded, and the drain of the second transistor Q 2 2 D 2 2 based extreme The other end E2 2 of the voltage dividing unit 212 is electrically connected to cause the output current I2 O to flow through the voltage dividing unit 212 and the second transistor Q 2 2 . Further, the fixed ratio is associated with the channel area width to length ratio of the first transistor Q 2 1 and the channel area width to length ratio of the second transistor Q 2 2 . In this embodiment, the first transistor Q 2 1 and the second transistor Q 2 2 are an N-type metal oxide semi-transistor (NMOS).

承上,由於電流鏡211具有第一電晶體Q2 1 及第二電晶體Q2 2 ,較並聯穩壓器132’(如圖3所示)便宜,所以參考電壓產生電路21的成本可較習知具有並聯穩壓器132’之參考電壓產生電路13’(如圖3所示)低廉。As the current mirror 211 has the first transistor Q 2 1 and the second transistor Q 2 2 , it is cheaper than the shunt regulator 132 ′ (shown in FIG. 3 ), so the cost of the reference voltage generating circuit 21 can be compared. It is known that the reference voltage generating circuit 13' (shown in FIG. 3) having the shunt regulator 132' is inexpensive.

另外,由於參考電壓產生電路21係利用電流鏡211依據輸入電流I2I 而產生與輸入電流I2I 具有固定比值之輸出電流I2O 至分壓單元212以使各參考電壓V2R a ~V2R j 之間的電壓差固定,進而穩定分壓單元212所輸出之參考電壓V2R a ~V2R j 。除此之外,業者可設計適當大小的第一電壓V2C 以及固定比值,以有效降低電流鏡211所損耗的電能。在本實施例中,第一電壓V2C 之電壓值係小於第二電壓V2A 之電壓值。舉例來說,第一電壓V2C 之電壓值小於但不受限為2.5伏特,且第二電壓V2A 之電壓值約為但不受限於9伏特~13伏特之間。此時,與習知具有並聯穩壓器132’之參考電壓產生電路13’(如圖3所示)相較之下,電流鏡211相對並聯穩壓器132’之耗能比約為第一電壓V2C 之電壓值(2.5伏特以下)相對升壓電壓V1A 之電壓值(9伏特~13伏特)。換言之,參考電壓產生電路21較參考電壓產生電路13’省電。Further, since the reference voltage generating circuit 21 line by the current mirror 211 is generated according to the input current I2 I the input current I2 I having an output fixed ratio of currents I2 O to dividing unit 212 to the respective reference voltage V2 R a ~ V2 R j The voltage difference between them is fixed, thereby stabilizing the reference voltage V2 R a ~V2 R j outputted by the voltage dividing unit 212. In addition, the operator can design a first voltage V2 C of appropriate size and a fixed ratio to effectively reduce the power lost by the current mirror 211. In this embodiment, the voltage value of the first voltage V2 C is less than the voltage value of the second voltage V2 A. For example, the voltage value of the first voltage V2 C is less than but not limited to 2.5 volts, and the voltage value of the second voltage V2 A is approximately, but not limited to, between 9 volts and 13 volts. At this time, compared with the reference voltage generating circuit 13' (shown in FIG. 3) having the shunt regulator 132', the energy consumption ratio of the current mirror 211 to the shunt regulator 132' is about the first. The voltage value of the voltage V2 C (below 2.5 volts) relative to the voltage of the boost voltage V1 A (9 volts to 13 volts). In other words, the reference voltage generating circuit 21 saves power compared to the reference voltage generating circuit 13'.

再者,業者可適當的選擇特定第一電晶體Q2 1 之通道區域寬長比及特定第二電晶體Q2 2 之通道區域寬長比,俾使輸入電流I2I 盡可能地小於輸出電流I2O ,以更減少電流鏡211所損耗的電能。當然,業者亦可於第二電晶體Q2 2 並聯其它的電晶體,俾使輸入電流I2I 降低以減少電流鏡211所損耗的電能。Furthermore, the operator can appropriately select the channel area width to length ratio of the specific first transistor Q 2 1 and the channel area width to length ratio of the specific second transistor Q 2 2 , so that the input current I2 I is as small as possible as the output current. I2 O to reduce the power lost by the current mirror 211. Of course, the operator can also connect other transistors in the second transistor Q 2 2 to reduce the input current I2 I to reduce the power loss of the current mirror 211.

舉例來說,請參照圖5所示,電流鏡211’更具有一第三電晶體Q2 3 ,在本實施例中,第三電晶體Q2 3 係為一N型金氧半電晶體。第三電晶體Q2 3 之閘極G2 3 係與第一電晶體Q2 1 之閘極G2 1 、第一電晶體Q2 1 之汲極D2 1 及第二電晶體Q2 2 之閘極G2 2 電性連接,第三電晶體Q2 3 之汲極D2 3 係與第二電晶體Q2 2 之汲極D2 2 電性連接。其中,固定比值係與第一電晶體Q2 1 之通道區域寬長比、第二電晶體Q2 2 之通道區域寬長比及第三電晶體Q2 3 之通道區域寬長比相關連。此時,業者可設計適當的第三電晶體Q2 3 之通道區域寬長比以改變輸出電流I2’O 與輸入電流I2’I 之間的固定比值,進而降低輸入電流I2’I 以減少電流鏡211’所損耗的電能。For example, referring to FIG. 5, the current mirror 211' further has a third transistor Q 2 3 . In the embodiment, the third transistor Q 2 3 is an N-type MOS transistor. A third gate transistor Q 23 of the pole line and the gate G 23 of the first transistor Q 21 of the electrode G 2 1, the first transistor Q D Drain electrode 21 of the transistor 21 and the second Q 2 2 the gate G 2 2 electrically connected to the drain of the third transistor Q 23 D 23 of the pole system and the second transistor Q 2 2 Drain electrically connected to the D 2 2. The fixed ratio is related to the channel area width to length ratio of the first transistor Q 2 1 , the channel area width to length ratio of the second transistor Q 2 2, and the channel area width to length ratio of the third transistor Q 2 3 . At this time, the operator can design the appropriate channel area width to length ratio of the third transistor Q 2 3 to change the fixed ratio between the output current I2' O and the input current I2' I , thereby reducing the input current I2' I to reduce the current. The electrical energy lost by the mirror 211'.

此外,在此值得一提的是,第一電壓產生電路22可以包含一電壓源(例如一系統電壓源)及一穩壓電路。電壓源產生一原始第一電壓並輸出原始第一電壓至穩壓電路,然後穩壓電路依據原始第一電壓以輸出第一電壓V2C ,其中,原始第一電壓與第一電壓V2C 的電壓值可以相同亦可不同。當然,第一電壓產生電路22亦可僅包含一電壓源(例如一系統電壓源)。In addition, it is worth mentioning that the first voltage generating circuit 22 can include a voltage source (for example, a system voltage source) and a voltage stabilizing circuit. The voltage source generates an original first voltage and outputs the original first voltage to the voltage stabilizing circuit, and then the voltage stabilizing circuit outputs a first voltage V2 C according to the original first voltage, wherein the original first voltage and the voltage of the first voltage V2 C Values can be the same or different. Of course, the first voltage generating circuit 22 may also include only one voltage source (for example, a system voltage source).

同理,第二電壓產生電路23可包含一電壓源(例如系統電壓源)及一直流-直流電源轉換器。電壓源產生一原始第二電壓並輸出原始第二電壓至直流-直流電源轉換器,然後直流-直流電源轉換器將原始第二電壓升壓為第二電壓V2A ,當然,第二電壓產生電路23亦可僅包含一電壓源。Similarly, the second voltage generating circuit 23 can include a voltage source (such as a system voltage source) and a DC-DC power converter. The voltage source generates an original second voltage and outputs the original second voltage to the DC-DC power converter, and then the DC-DC power converter boosts the original second voltage to the second voltage V2 A , of course, the second voltage generating circuit 23 may also contain only one voltage source.

承上所述,因依本發明之參考電壓產生電路係利用電流鏡以依據輸入電流提供與輸入電流具有固定比值之輸出電流至分壓單元以穩定分壓單元之電壓,與習知具有並聯穩壓器之參考電壓產生電路中,並聯穩壓器因受升壓電壓大小的影響而無法降低電能消耗相較之下,本發明之參考電壓產生電路中,可設計適當大小的第一電壓及固定比值以有效降低電流鏡所損耗電能,進而使本發明參考電壓產生電路較為省電。According to the above description, the reference voltage generating circuit according to the present invention uses a current mirror to provide an output current having a fixed ratio to the input current to the voltage dividing unit according to the input current to stabilize the voltage of the voltage dividing unit, which is connected in parallel with the conventional one. In the reference voltage generating circuit of the voltage regulator, the shunt regulator can not reduce the power consumption due to the influence of the magnitude of the boosting voltage. In the reference voltage generating circuit of the present invention, the first voltage and the fixed size can be designed. The ratio is used to effectively reduce the power loss of the current mirror, thereby making the reference voltage generating circuit of the present invention more power efficient.

另外,由於電流鏡較並聯穩壓器便宜,所以本發明之參考電壓產生電路的成本可較習知具有並聯穩壓器之參考電壓產生電路低廉。In addition, since the current mirror is cheaper than the shunt regulator, the cost of the reference voltage generating circuit of the present invention can be lower than that of the reference voltage generating circuit having the shunt regulator.
