Description

顯示器的共用電壓供應電路、供應方法及其液晶顯示器Shared voltage supply circuit of display, supply method and liquid crystal display thereof

本發明是有關於一種電壓供應電路、供應方法及其顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種顯示器的共用電壓供應電路、供應方法及其液晶顯示器。The present invention relates to a voltage supply circuit, a supply method, and a display device thereof, and more particularly to a common voltage supply circuit, a supply method, and a liquid crystal display thereof.

在目前的共用電壓供應電路的設計中,可透過電容耦合驅動器(Capacitance Coupling Driver,CCD)技術來降低耗電量。所述的電容耦合驅動器技術的原理為將每一列的畫素的共用電壓區分為交流共用電壓(AC VCOM)與直流共用電壓(DC VCOM)。在每次資料寫入完成,畫素薄膜電晶體關閉後,AC VCOM訊號再行翻轉,此時因為電容耦合效應會將畫素電壓推升或拉低至正確的位準,如此一來,資料的寫入電壓只需為原來的1/2(比如從5V~-5V變為5V~0V),因此可以達到省電的效果。In the current design of the common voltage supply circuit, the power consumption can be reduced by a Capacitance Coupling Driver (CCD) technology. The principle of the capacitive coupling driver technology is to divide the common voltage of the pixels of each column into an AC common voltage (AC VCOM) and a DC common voltage (DC VCOM). After each data writing is completed, after the pixel film transistor is turned off, the AC VCOM signal is flipped again. At this time, the capacitive coupling effect will push or lower the pixel voltage to the correct level, thus, the data The write voltage only needs to be 1/2 of the original (for example, from 5V to -5V to 5V~0V), so the power saving effect can be achieved.

由於不同製程的薄膜電晶體具有各自優缺點,因此,如何選擇適合的薄膜電晶體以製作符合設計需求的共用電壓供應電路,這也是研發人員需要考量的。舉例來說,非晶矽薄膜電晶體(簡稱α-TFT)的均勻性雖佳,但是α-TFT的電子移動率較差,若要使用α-TFT製作共用電壓供應電路,所需的電路佈局面積較大,較難符合窄化邊框寬度的設計需求。因此,現行的電容耦合驅動器技術都是應用於低溫多晶矽(LTPS)的產品上,但低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體(簡稱LTPS-TFT)雖然具有較高的電子移動率,卻因為受到結晶化製程的限制,而無法做大面積,特別是LTPS-TFT的製程所需光罩數較多,相對的製造成本較高。Since different process thin film transistors have their own advantages and disadvantages, how to choose a suitable thin film transistor to make a common voltage supply circuit that meets the design requirements is also considered by researchers. For example, the uniformity of an amorphous germanium film transistor (abbreviated as α-TFT) is good, but the electron mobility of the α-TFT is poor. If a common voltage supply circuit is to be fabricated using an α-TFT, the required circuit layout area is required. Larger, it is more difficult to meet the design requirements of narrowing the width of the border. Therefore, the current capacitively coupled driver technology is applied to low temperature polycrystalline germanium (LTPS) products, but low temperature polycrystalline germanium thin film transistors (LTPS-TFT) have higher electron mobility, but are limited by the crystallization process. However, it is impossible to make a large area, and in particular, the number of masks required for the LTPS-TFT process is large, and the relative manufacturing cost is high.

另外,由於非晶氧化銦鎵鋅薄膜電晶體(簡稱α-IGZO TFT)具有較高的電子移動率,一般來說,大約為含氫非晶矽(簡稱α-Si:H)的10倍。所述的α-IGZO TFT的均勻性亦較LTPS-TFTF為佳,且因為製程與α-Si:H相似,所以很容易在現行的α-Si:H產線生產。然而在目前以α-IGZO TFT作設計的共用電壓供應電路中,通常是以0伏特當作TFT的關閉電壓。但是有時會因為所述的關閉電壓的飄移情形而造成嚴重的漏電路徑,進而可能導致所述的共用電壓供應電路發生輸出失效的問題。In addition, since the amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor (abbreviated as α-IGZO TFT) has a high electron mobility, it is generally about 10 times that of hydrogen-containing amorphous germanium (abbreviated as α-Si:H). The α-IGZO TFT is also more uniform than LTPS-TFTF, and because the process is similar to α-Si:H, it is easy to produce in the current α-Si:H production line. However, in the current common voltage supply circuit designed with an α-IGZO TFT, 0 volts is usually regarded as the turn-off voltage of the TFT. However, sometimes a serious leakage path may occur due to the drifting of the shutdown voltage, which may cause the output voltage of the shared voltage supply circuit to fail.

接著,請一併參照圖1與圖2A,圖2A為本發明實施例的部分訊號波形示意圖。以下先大致說明共用電壓供應電路100的動作原理,首先,第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30由第一儲能電壓QH分別導通第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30的電性通路,以對應輸出第二電壓VSS2與第一電壓VSS1至共用電壓供應單元10,並使得共用電壓供應單元10能輸出一個幀的第一共用電壓VcomH,其中第一電壓VSS1不同於第二電壓VSS2。請參照圖2B,圖2B為本發明實施例的第一電壓與第二電壓的訊號波形示意圖。如圖2B所示,第一電壓VSS1的電壓值較佳者是大於第二電壓VSS2的電壓值,且第一電壓VSS1的電壓值與第二電壓VSS2的電壓值皆小於0伏特。Next, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A together. FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a partial signal waveform according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation principle of the common voltage supply circuit 100 is first described in the following. First, the first switching unit 20 and the second switching unit 30 respectively turn on the electrical paths of the first switching unit 20 and the second switching unit 30 from the first storage voltage QH. To output the second voltage VSS2 and the first voltage VSS1 to the common voltage supply unit 10, and to enable the common voltage supply unit 10 to output the first common voltage VcomH of one frame, wherein the first voltage VSS1 is different from the second voltage VSS2. Please refer to FIG. 2B. FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of signal waveforms of a first voltage and a second voltage according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2B, the voltage value of the first voltage VSS1 is preferably a voltage value greater than the second voltage VSS2, and the voltage value of the first voltage VSS1 and the voltage value of the second voltage VSS2 are both less than 0 volts.

從另一方面說,控制級10a具有第一輸出端12與第二輸出端14。輸出級10b分別電性耦接於第一輸出端12與第二輸出端14。第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30由第一儲能電壓QH分別導通第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30的電性通路,以使控制級10a的第一輸出端12輸出第二電壓VSS2至輸出級10b,進而使輸出級10b的輸出端Vcom_out輸出第一共用電壓VcomH。In another aspect, control stage 10a has a first output 12 and a second output 14. The output stage 10b is electrically coupled to the first output end 12 and the second output end 14, respectively. The first switching unit 20 and the second switching unit 30 respectively turn on the electrical paths of the first switching unit 20 and the second switching unit 30 by the first storage voltage QH, so that the first output end 12 of the control stage 10a outputs the second The voltage VSS2 to the output stage 10b further causes the output terminal Vcom_out of the output stage 10b to output the first common voltage VcomH.

舉例來說,共用電壓供應單元10的輸出級10b可用以接收第一共用電壓VcomH,而控制級10a根據第一控制訊號GATE(n-1)提供第一儲能電壓QH至第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30,以控制輸出級10b是否提供第一共用電壓VcomH至輸出端Vcom_out。同樣的,共用電壓供應單元10的輸出級10b還接收第二共用電壓VcomL,而控制級10a根據第二控制訊號GATE(n)提供第二儲能電壓QL至第一切換單元20與第二切換單元30,以控制輸出級10b是否提供第二共用電壓VcomL至輸出端Vcom_out。For example, the output stage 10b of the shared voltage supply unit 10 can be used to receive the first common voltage VcomH, and the control stage 10a provides the first storage voltage QH to the first switching unit 20 according to the first control signal GATE(n-1). And the second switching unit 30 to control whether the output stage 10b provides the first common voltage VcomH to the output terminal Vcom_out. Similarly, the output stage 10b of the common voltage supply unit 10 also receives the second common voltage VcomL, and the control stage 10a provides the second storage voltage QL to the first switching unit 20 and the second switching according to the second control signal GATE(n). The unit 30 controls whether the output stage 10b provides the second common voltage VcomL to the output terminal Vcom_out.

更具體的說,當共用電壓供應單元10的控制級10a接收第一控制訊號GATE(n-1)的位準上升時,開關元件T9、T10、T11、T12、開關元件T5、與開關元件T7為導通。第二時脈訊號Vclk2通過所述的開關元件T9與T10,以對第三儲能元件C3與第一儲能元件C1充電,進而使第三儲能元件C3與第一儲能元件C1開始儲能。當共用電壓供應單元10的控制級10a所接收第一控制訊號GATE(n-1)的位準下降時,則由第三儲能元件C3與第一儲能元件C1共同提供所述的第一儲能電壓QH。More specifically, when the control stage 10a of the common voltage supply unit 10 receives the level rise of the first control signal GATE(n-1), the switching elements T9, T10, T11, T12, the switching element T5, and the switching element T7 To be conductive. The second clock signal Vclk2 passes through the switching elements T9 and T10 to charge the third energy storage element C3 and the first energy storage element C1, thereby starting to store the third energy storage element C3 and the first energy storage element C1. can. When the level of the first control signal GATE(n-1) received by the control stage 10a of the common voltage supply unit 10 decreases, the first energy storage element C3 and the first energy storage element C1 jointly provide the first Storage voltage QH.

接著,第一儲能電壓QH可使第一切換單元20的開關元件T2導通,而使第二電壓VSS2通過並到達開關元件T6的閘極端。第一儲能電壓QH還可使第二切換單元30的第三開關元件T3導通,而使第一電壓VSS1通過並到達第六開關元件T6的源極端。藉此,於共用電壓供應單元10輸出第一共用電壓VcomH時,開關元件T6的閘極電壓差為第二電壓VSS2減去第一電壓VSS1,而使開關元件T6的閘極電壓差為負值,其中所述的閘極電壓差可例如是開關元件T6的閘極端與源極端之間的電壓差。如此一來,可使開關元件T6不易受到關閉電壓飄移的影響而產生漏電的情形,進而導致共用電壓供應單元10的輸出失效。Next, the first storage voltage QH turns on the switching element T2 of the first switching unit 20, and passes the second voltage VSS2 to the gate terminal of the switching element T6. The first storage voltage QH can also turn on the third switching element T3 of the second switching unit 30, and pass the first voltage VSS1 to reach the source terminal of the sixth switching element T6. Thereby, when the common voltage supply unit 10 outputs the first common voltage VcomH, the gate voltage difference of the switching element T6 is the second voltage VSS2 minus the first voltage VSS1, and the gate voltage difference of the switching element T6 is negative. The gate voltage difference may be, for example, a voltage difference between the gate terminal and the source terminal of the switching element T6. As a result, the switching element T6 can be prevented from being affected by the drift of the off voltage, thereby causing leakage, which in turn causes the output of the common voltage supply unit 10 to fail.

另外,當共用電壓供應單元10的控制級10a接收第二控制訊號GATE(n)的位準上升時,開關元件T13、T14、T15、T16、T17、開關元件T6與開關元件T8為導通。第一時脈訊號Vclk1通過所述的開關元件T13與T14,以對第三儲能元件C3與第二儲能元件C2充電,進而使第三儲能元件C3與第二儲能元件C2開始儲能。當共用電壓供應單元10的控制級10a所接收第一控制訊號GATE(n)的位準下降時,則由第三儲能元件C3與第二儲能元件C2提供所述的第二儲能電壓QL。Further, when the control stage 10a of the common voltage supply unit 10 receives the level rise of the second control signal GATE(n), the switching elements T13, T14, T15, T16, T17, the switching element T6, and the switching element T8 are turned on. The first clock signal Vclk1 passes through the switching elements T13 and T14 to charge the third energy storage element C3 and the second energy storage element C2, thereby starting to store the third energy storage element C3 and the second energy storage element C2. can. When the level of the first control signal GATE(n) received by the control stage 10a of the common voltage supply unit 10 decreases, the second storage voltage is provided by the third energy storage element C3 and the second energy storage element C2. QL.

接著,第二儲能電壓QL可使第一切換單元20的開關元件T1導通,而使第一電壓VSS1通過並到達開關元件T5的源極端。第二儲能電壓QL還可使第二切換單元30的開關元件T4導通,而使第二電壓VSS2通過並到達開關元件T5的閘極端。藉此,於共用電壓供應單元10輸出第二共用電壓VcomL時,開關元件T5的閘極電壓差為第二電壓VSS2減去第一電壓VSS1,而使開關元件T5的閘極電壓差為負值,其中所述的閘極電壓差可例如是開關元件T5的閘極端與源極端之間的電壓差。如此一來,可使開關元件T5不易受到關閉電壓飄移的影響而產生漏電的情形,進而導致共用電壓供應單元10的輸出失效。Next, the second storage voltage QL turns on the switching element T1 of the first switching unit 20, and passes the first voltage VSS1 to the source terminal of the switching element T5. The second storage voltage QL can also turn on the switching element T4 of the second switching unit 30, and pass the second voltage VSS2 to the gate terminal of the switching element T5. Thereby, when the common voltage supply unit 10 outputs the second common voltage VcomL, the gate voltage difference of the switching element T5 is the second voltage VSS2 minus the first voltage VSS1, and the gate voltage difference of the switching element T5 is negative. The gate voltage difference may be, for example, a voltage difference between the gate terminal and the source terminal of the switching element T5. As a result, the switching element T5 can be prevented from being affected by the drift of the off voltage, thereby causing leakage, which in turn causes the output of the common voltage supply unit 10 to fail.

請一併參照圖1與圖3,圖3為本發明實施例的部分訊號波形模擬示意圖。如圖3所示,當第一控制訊號GATE(n-1)的位準上升時,開關元件T9、T10、T11、T12、開關元件T5與開關元件T7為導通。第二時脈訊號Vclk2通過所述的開關元件T9與T10,以對第三儲能元件C3與第一儲能元件C1充電,進而使第三儲能元件C3與第一儲能元件C1開始儲能,以使第一儲能電壓QH上升並維持一個幀的時間。經由模擬可得知,雖然圖2中的第一儲能電壓QH仍有部分漏電的情形發生,但仍可使得共用電壓供應單元10能輸出一個幀的第一共用電壓VcomH,而不致於使輸出端Vcom_out的輸出失效。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 together. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of partial signal waveform simulation according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, when the level of the first control signal GATE(n-1) rises, the switching elements T9, T10, T11, T12, the switching element T5, and the switching element T7 are turned on. The second clock signal Vclk2 passes through the switching elements T9 and T10 to charge the third energy storage element C3 and the first energy storage element C1, thereby starting to store the third energy storage element C3 and the first energy storage element C1. The time during which the first stored voltage QH rises and maintains one frame. It can be known from the simulation that although the first storage voltage QH in FIG. 2 still has a partial leakage, the common voltage supply unit 10 can output the first common voltage VcomH of one frame without causing the output. The output of the terminal Vcom_out is invalid.
