Description

伽瑪電壓驅動電路及相關顯示裝置Gamma voltage driving circuit and related display device

本發明是有關於一種伽瑪電壓驅動電路及相關顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種包含伽瑪曲線(Gamma curve)校正功能的伽瑪電壓驅動電路及相關顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a gamma voltage driving circuit and related display device, and more particularly to a gamma voltage driving circuit including a gamma curve correction function and related display devices.

人眼對顏色的灰階變化並非以線性方式分佈。舉例而言,人眼對於低灰階畫面的灰階變化,比對於高灰階畫面的灰階變化的辨識較為敏銳。因此,顯示裝置中通常具有伽瑪曲線(Gamma curve)校正功能,以使人眼對於顏色灰階變化變為線性關係。通常,顯示裝置利用一伽瑪電壓及一參考電壓對輸入的畫面資料進行伽瑪曲線校正。由於紅光灰階資料與亮度的關係曲線(即紅色伽瑪曲線)、綠光灰階資料與亮度的關係曲線(即綠色伽瑪曲線)和藍光灰階資料與亮度的關係曲線(即藍色伽瑪曲線)略有差異,若僅使用單一伽瑪電壓及參考電壓校正影像資料,還是會有人眼對於顏色灰階變化非為線性關係的問題。若要得到較佳的伽瑪校正效果,針對紅光、綠光、藍光等灰階資料,需要分別使用不同的伽瑪電壓與參考電壓來修正。The gray-scale changes in the color of the human eye are not distributed in a linear manner. For example, the human eye is more sensitive to the grayscale change of the low grayscale picture than the grayscale change of the high grayscale picture. Therefore, the display device usually has a gamma curve correction function to cause the human eye to change the color gray scale change into a linear relationship. Generally, the display device performs gamma curve correction on the input picture data by using a gamma voltage and a reference voltage. Due to the relationship between red light gray scale data and brightness (ie red gamma curve), green light gray scale data and brightness (ie green gamma curve) and blue gray scale data and brightness (ie blue) The gamma curve is slightly different. If only a single gamma voltage and a reference voltage are used to correct the image data, there is still a problem that the human eye does not have a linear relationship with the color gray scale change. For better gamma correction, for grayscale data such as red, green, and blue, you need to use different gamma voltages and reference voltages to correct them.

請參照第1圖,其係繪示習知顯示裝置10之示意 圖。顯示裝置10包含顯示面板11、源極驅動器(source driver)12、閘極驅動器(gate driver)13、時序控制器(timing controller)14及伽瑪電壓驅動電路15R、15G、15B。顯示面板11包含多個畫素單元Px、多條資料線DL和多條閘極線GL。在顯示面板11中,所有畫素單元Px形成多行多列的矩陣。每一畫素單元Px包含開關單元TFT,其係由一條資料線DL和一條閘極線GL所驅動,以在一特定時間區間開啟,使得畫素單元Px可顯示對應的灰階。源極驅動器12驅動各資料線DL,以將灰階資料傳送到每一行的畫素單元Px。閘極驅動器13驅動各閘極線GL,以控制每一列的畫素單元Px中開關單元TFT的開關狀態,在一特定時間區間內,開關單元TFT的開關狀態為開啟,使畫素單元Px顯示對應灰階。利用視覺暫留的原理,人眼可看到完整的顯示畫面。時序控制器14用於控制閘極驅動器13依序驅動顯示面板11之各閘極線GL,並控制源極驅動器12於各個閘極線GL依序被驅動時,送入相對應的影像資料至顯示面板11之各資料線DL。伽瑪電壓驅動電路15R產生紅光伽瑪電壓Vγ1 (1)~Vγ1 (M1)和紅光參考電壓VR1 ,以用於校正紅光灰階資料。伽瑪電壓驅動電路15G產生綠光伽瑪電壓Vγ2 (1)~Vγ2 (M2)和綠光參考電壓VR2 ,以用於校正綠光灰階資料。伽瑪電壓驅動電路15B產生藍光伽瑪電壓Vγ3 (1)~Vγ3 (M3)和藍光參考電壓VR3 ,以用於校正藍光灰階資料。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a conventional display device 10 .

The source driver 12 drives the respective data lines DL to transfer the gray scale data to the pixel units Px of each row. The gate driver 13 drives the gate lines GL to control the switching state of the switching unit TFTs in the pixel unit Px of each column. In a certain time interval, the switching state of the switching unit TFT is turned on, so that the pixel unit Px is displayed. Corresponding to gray scale. Using the principle of visual persistence, the human eye can see the complete display. The timing controller 14 is configured to control the gate driver 13 to sequentially drive the gate lines GL of the display panel 11, and control the source driver 12 to sequentially send the corresponding image data when the gate lines GL are sequentially driven. Each data line DL of the display panel 11 is displayed.
