Please refer to FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the display device 100 includes a power supply circuit 110, a power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120, a source driver 130, and a display panel 140. The power supply circuit 110 receives a main power supply voltage Vin to provide the source driver 130. The required digital power supply voltage DVDD, the gamma reference voltage VGMA, the first power supply voltage AVDD, the second power supply voltage HAVDD, and the ground voltage GND.

源極驅動器130耦接電源電路110及顯示面板140,並且例如至少具有驅動電路131、第一電源線LP1、第二電源線LP2及接地線LGD,在此僅繪示說明所需部分,但不限制本發明實施例的其他類型的源極驅動器。換言之,在部分實施例中,驅動電路131例如至少具有伽瑪電壓產生器、控制邏輯、資料通道等,此可依據本領域通常知識者而定。 The source driver 130 is coupled to the power supply circuit 110 and the display panel 140, and has at least a drive circuit 131, a first power supply line LP1, a second power supply line LP2, and a ground line LGD. Only necessary parts are illustrated here, but not Other types of source drivers are limited to the embodiments of the present invention. In other words, in some embodiments, the driving circuit 131 has at least a gamma voltage generator, a control logic, a data channel, etc., which may be determined by a person skilled in the art.

源極驅動器130的第一電源線LP1用以接收第一電源電壓AVDD1(亦即同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD),第二電源線LP2用以接收第二電源電壓HAVDD,並且接地線LGD用以接收接地電壓GND,其中第二電源電壓HAVDD小於第一電源電壓AVDD。驅動電路131利用同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1及第二電源電壓HAVDD提供多個畫素電壓VP至顯示面板140、以驅動顯示面板140。第一電源線LP1與第二電源線之LP2間至少配置一第一靜電防護(ESD)元件ESD1,並且第二電源線LP2與接地線LGD之間至少配置一第二靜電防護元件ESD2。其中,驅動電路131會利用同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1提供多個伽瑪電壓,而第二電源電壓HAVDD可以是上述多個伽瑪電壓的中間電壓值。 The first power supply line LP1 of the source driver 130 is used to receive the first power supply voltage AVDD1 (that is, the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD), the second power supply line LP2 is used to receive the second power supply voltage HAVDD, and the ground line LGD is used To receive a ground voltage GND, where the second power supply voltage HAVDD is less than the first power supply voltage AVDD. The driving circuit 131 uses the synchronized first power voltage AVDD1 and the second power voltage HAVDD to provide a plurality of pixel voltages VP to the display panel 140 to drive the display panel 140. At least one first electrostatic protection (ESD) element ESD1 is disposed between the first power line LP1 and the second power line LP2, and at least one second electrostatic protection element ESD2 is disposed between the second power line LP2 and the ground line LGD. The driving circuit 131 uses the synchronized first power voltage AVDD1 to provide multiple gamma voltages, and the second power voltage HAVDD may be an intermediate voltage value of the multiple gamma voltages.

電源電壓同步電路120耦接於電源電路110與源極驅動器130的第一電源線LP2之間,並且接收第一電源電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD,以依據第一電源電壓AVDD與第二電源電壓HAVDD之間的電壓差決定是否提供第一電源電壓AVDD至第一電源線LP1。並且,電源電壓同步電路120耦接至顯示面板140,及利用同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1提供共同電壓Vcom至顯示面板140。其中,顯示面板140可僅接收電源電壓同步電路120所提供的共同電壓Vcom,以避免電源電路之間的拉扯導至電力消耗的增加。 The power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is coupled between the power supply circuit 110 and the first power supply line LP2 of the source driver 130, and receives a first power supply voltage AVDD and a second power supply voltage HAVDD, so as to comply with the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply. The voltage difference between the voltages HAVDD determines whether to provide the first power supply voltage AVDD to the first power supply line LP1. In addition, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is coupled to the display panel 140 and provides a common voltage Vcom to the display panel 140 by using the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD1. The display panel 140 may only receive the common voltage Vcom provided by the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 to avoid pulling between the power supply circuits leading to an increase in power consumption.

在本實施例中,電源電壓同步電路120與源極驅動器130為分離配置,但在其他實施例中,電源電壓同步電路120為配置於源極驅動器130之中,此可依據製程能力而變,本發明實施例不以此為限。 In this embodiment, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 and the source driver 130 are configured separately, but in other embodiments, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is configured in the source driver 130, which may vary depending on the process capability. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

圖2A及圖2B為依據本發明一實施例的第一電源電壓及第二電源電壓的時序同步示意圖。請參照圖1及圖2A,一般而言,第二電源電壓HAVDD是利用第一電源電壓AVDD來產生的,因此第一電源電壓AVDD通常會先就緒,亦即先達到預定準位,並且在預定時間之後,第二電源電壓HAVDD才會達到預定準位,以避免第二電源電壓HAVDD的產生影響到第一電源電壓AVDD的穩定。 FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are timing synchronization diagrams of a first power voltage and a second power voltage according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A. Generally speaking, the second power supply voltage HAVDD is generated by using the first power supply voltage AVDD. Therefore, the first power supply voltage AVDD is usually ready first, that is, first reaches a predetermined level, and After a period of time, the second power supply voltage HAVDD will reach a predetermined level to prevent the generation of the second power supply voltage HAVDD from affecting the stability of the first power supply voltage AVDD.

接著,當第一電源電壓AVDD就緒時,電源電壓同步電路120會受第一電源電壓AVDD的觸發而啟動,但此時第一電源 電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD的壓差過大,因此第一電源電壓AVDD會被阻擋,以致於同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1仍為接地電壓GND。接著,當第二電源電壓HAVDD就緒後,第一電源電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD的壓差小於第一靜電防護元件ESD1的崩潰電壓之後,電源電壓同步電路120開始傳送第一電源電壓AVDD,以致於同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1及第二電源電壓HAVDD就緒的時間點會差不多。 Then, when the first power supply voltage AVDD is ready, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is activated by the trigger of the first power supply voltage AVDD, but at this time the first power supply The voltage difference between the voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD is too large, so the first power supply voltage AVDD is blocked, so that the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD1 is still the ground voltage GND. Then, after the second power supply voltage HAVDD is ready, the voltage difference between the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD is less than the breakdown voltage of the first electrostatic protection element ESD1, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 starts transmitting the first power supply voltage AVDD, Therefore, the time points when the first power supply voltage AVDD1 and the second power supply voltage HAVDD after synchronization are ready will be similar.

並且,在第二電源電壓HAVDD的電壓過低或第一電源電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD的壓差過大時,由於此時源極驅動器130尚未穩定,因此電源電壓同步電路120可將共同電壓Vcom拉低至接地電壓GND,以對顯示面板140中的電荷進行放電,進而避免顯示面板140顯示錯誤。 In addition, when the voltage of the second power supply voltage HAVDD is too low or the voltage difference between the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD is too large, since the source driver 130 is not yet stable at this time, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 may transfer the common voltage Vcom is pulled down to the ground voltage GND to discharge the charges in the display panel 140, thereby preventing display panel 140 from displaying errors.

圖3為依據本發明一實施例的電源電壓同步電路的系統示意圖。請參照圖1及圖3,在本實施例中,電源電壓同步電路120包括比較器電路310、電壓輸出判斷電路320、第一分壓器330、電壓維持電路340、同步控制電路350、推挽電路360、第二分壓器370及電壓維持及放電電路380。 FIG. 3 is a system schematic diagram of a power supply voltage synchronization circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 3. In this embodiment, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 includes a comparator circuit 310, a voltage output determination circuit 320, a first voltage divider 330, a voltage maintenance circuit 340, a synchronization control circuit 350, and a push-pull. A circuit 360, a second voltage divider 370, and a voltage sustaining and discharging circuit 380.

比較器電路310接收用以供電至源極驅動器130的第一電源電壓AVDD及低於第一電源電壓AVDD的第二電源電壓HAVDD,以提供第一電源電壓AVDD與第二電源電壓HAVDD之間的電壓差Va,其中電壓差Va在此為第一電源電壓AVDD減去第二電源電壓HAVDD。第一分壓器330用以提供參考電壓VR, 其中參考電壓VR小於源極驅動器130中與第一電源線LP1耦接的靜電防護元件(如ESD1)中的最小崩潰電壓。 The comparator circuit 310 receives a first power supply voltage AVDD for supplying power to the source driver 130 and a second power supply voltage HAVDD that is lower than the first power supply voltage AVDD to provide a voltage between the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD. The voltage difference Va, where the voltage difference Va is the first power supply voltage AVDD minus the second power supply voltage HAVDD. The first voltage divider 330 is used to provide a reference voltage VR, The reference voltage VR is smaller than the minimum breakdown voltage of the ESD protection element (such as ESD1) coupled to the first power line LP1 in the source driver 130.

電壓輸出判斷電路320耦接比較器電路310及第一分壓器330,且接收第一電源電壓AVDD、電壓差Va、參考電壓VR及接地電壓GND,以依據電壓差Va及參考電壓VR決定輸出第一電源電壓AVDD或接地電壓GND。進一步來說,當電壓差Va大於等於參考電壓VR,則電壓輸出判斷電路320輸出接地電壓GND;當電壓差Va小於參考電壓VR,則電壓輸出判斷電路320輸出第一電源電壓AVDD。 The voltage output judging circuit 320 is coupled to the comparator circuit 310 and the first voltage divider 330, and receives a first power voltage AVDD, a voltage difference Va, a reference voltage VR, and a ground voltage GND to determine the output according to the voltage difference Va and the reference voltage VR.

當主電源電壓Vin開啟時,電源就緒順序為Vin→DVDD→AVDD→VGMA/HAVDD。接著,第一電源電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD經運算放大器U1為主所構成的減法器後,輸出電 壓差Va。當電壓差Va大於等於靜電防護元件(如ESD1)的崩潰電壓時,比較器U2輸出接地電壓GND;當電壓差Va小於靜電防護元件(如ESD1)的崩潰電壓時,比較器U2輸出第一電源電壓AVDD。其中,靜電防護元件(如ESD1)的崩潰電壓可視源極驅動器的設計而定,本發明實施例不以此為限。 When the main power supply voltage Vin is turned on, the power ready sequence is Vin → DVDD → AVDD → VGMA / HAVDD. Next, the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD pass through a subtractor constituted by the operational amplifier U1 as a main, and then output power. Pressure difference Va. When the voltage difference Va is greater than or equal to the breakdown voltage of the electrostatic protection element (such as ESD1), the comparator U2 outputs a ground voltage GND; when the voltage difference Va is less than the breakdown voltage of the electrostatic protection element (such as ESD1), the comparator U2 outputs a first power source Voltage AVDD. The breakdown voltage of the ESD protection element (such as ESD1) may depend on the design of the source driver, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

在比較器電路310判斷第一電源電壓AVDD及第二電源電壓HAVDD的電壓差Va的同時,同步控制電路350的電壓時序同步輸出控制如下。當第二電源電壓HAVDD建立時,以第二電源電壓HAVDD觸發同步控制電路350,並且配合比較器電路310及電壓輸出判斷電路320將電源電壓的時序重新建立為Vin→DVDD→AVDD/VGMA/HAVDD。 While the comparator circuit 310 determines the voltage difference Va between the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD, the voltage timing synchronous output control of the synchronization control circuit 350 is as follows. When the second power supply voltage HAVDD is established, the synchronization control circuit 350 is triggered with the second power supply voltage HAVDD, and the timing of the power supply voltage is re-established as Vin → DVDD → AVDD / VGMA / HAVDD in cooperation with the comparator circuit 310 and the voltage output determination circuit 320. .

進一步來說,當電壓差Va大於等於靜電防護元件(如EDS1)的崩潰電壓時,比較器U2輸出接地電壓GND,其中第三金氧半電晶體M3為導通,而第一金氧半電晶體M1及第二金氧半電晶體M2為不導通。此時,同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1為接地電壓,顯示面板140顯示黑畫面,藉此可避免靜電防護元件(如ESD1)操作在崩潰區而引入大電流,進而造成源極驅動器130毀損或電源電路110關閉。 Further, when the voltage difference Va is greater than or equal to the breakdown voltage of the ESD protection element (such as EDS1), the comparator U2 outputs a ground voltage GND, where the third metal-oxide semiconductor transistor M3 is turned on and the first metal-oxide semiconductor transistor M3 is turned on. M1 and the second metal-oxide semiconductor transistor M2 are not conductive. At this time, the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD1 is the ground voltage, and the display panel 140 displays a black screen, thereby avoiding the introduction of a large current by the electrostatic protection element (such as ESD1) operating in the collapse area, which may cause the source driver 130 to be damaged or damaged. The power circuit 110 is turned off.

當電壓差Va小於靜電防護元件(如ESD1)的崩潰電壓時,比較器U2輸出第一電源電壓AVDD,其中第一接面電晶體BT1及第二金氧半電晶體M2為導通,而第一金氧半電晶體M1及第三金氧半電晶體M3為不導通,此時同步後的第一電源電壓 AVDD1為第一電源電壓AVDD,顯示面板140正常顯示。 When the voltage difference Va is less than the breakdown voltage of the electrostatic protection element (such as ESD1), the comparator U2 outputs a first power supply voltage AVDD, wherein the first junction transistor BT1 and the second metal-oxide semiconductor transistor M2 are turned on, and the first The metal-oxide-semiconductor M1 and the third metal-oxide-semiconductor M3 are non-conducting. At this time, the first power supply voltage after synchronization AVDD1 is the first power supply voltage AVDD, and the display panel 140 displays normally.

另一方面,在電源建立的過程中,在第二電源電壓HAVDD尚未建立時,第一金氧半電晶體M1為導通,而第一接面電晶體BT1為不導通。此時,第二金氧半電晶體M2為不導通,第三金氧半電晶體M3為導通,同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1及共同電壓Vcom為接地電壓GND,並且因為液晶無壓差狀況下,顯示面板140顯示黑畫面,可避免源極驅動器130的電源電壓建立時序不同步違反操作規定而產生異常。另一方面,開機在電源電壓就緒過程中或異常狀態發生時,電源電壓同步電路120會使畫素電壓VP及共同電壓Vcom皆為接地電壓GND,可使液晶電荷快速清除,防止電荷不必要的累積,以及減少上一次關機所殘存電荷,以改善開機閃爍(flicker)及影像殘留IS(Image sticking)等問題。 On the other hand, during the power supply establishment process, when the second power supply voltage HAVDD has not been established, the first metal-oxide semiconductor transistor M1 is turned on, and the first junction transistor BT1 is not turned on. At this time, the second metal-oxide-semiconductor M2 is non-conducting, the third metal-oxide-semiconductor M3 is non-conductive, and the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD1 and the common voltage Vcom are ground voltages GND. Next, the display panel 140 displays a black screen, which can prevent the power supply voltage of the source driver 130 from being set up asynchronously and violating the operation regulations to cause an abnormality. On the other hand, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 causes the pixel voltage VP and the common voltage Vcom to be the ground voltage GND when the power supply voltage is ready or when an abnormal state occurs, which can quickly clear the liquid crystal charge and prevent unnecessary charge. Accumulate and reduce the residual charge from the last shutdown to improve problems such as flicker and image sticking.

此外,在電源關閉時序時,所有電源皆在浮接(Floating)狀態,其中由於顯示面板140因設計或負載關係而使放電時序有所不同,而電源電壓同步電路120不管是AVDD/HAVDD/GMA的放電先後順序,亦可使同步後的第一電源電壓AVDD1及共同電壓Vcom為接地電壓GND。上述電源電壓的放電(關閉)時序例如是:(a)Vin→AVDD/HAVDD/VGMA→DVDD(黑畫面);(b)Vin→HAVDD/VGMA→AVDD→DVDD(黑畫面);(c)Vin→AVDD→HAVDD/VGMA→DVDD(黑畫面)。 In addition, during the power-off sequence, all power supplies are in a floating state. Among them, the discharge timing is different due to the display panel 140 design or load relationship. The power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is not AVDD / HAVDD / GMA. The order of the discharges can also make the synchronized first power supply voltage AVDD1 and the common voltage Vcom the ground voltage GND. The discharging (off) timing of the power supply voltage is, for example: (a) Vin → AVDD / HAVDD / VGMA → DVDD (black screen); (b) Vin → HAVDD / VGMA → AVDD → DVDD (black screen); (c) Vin → AVDD → HAVDD / VGMA → DVDD (black screen).

因此,電源電壓同步電路120不管是顯示裝置100開機 或關機時,可透過第一電源電壓AVDD與第二電源電壓HAVDD時間差會先把第一電源電壓AVDD及共同電壓Vcom拉低至接地電壓GND,以達到快速放電以及顯示面板140中電荷清空的功能,將可降低顯示面板140中液晶胞(未繪示)的電荷殘留,減少開機閃爍,改善影像殘留IS(Image sticking)。 Therefore, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit 120 is turned on regardless of the display device 100. When the power supply is switched off, the first power supply voltage AVDD and the second power supply voltage HAVDD can be used to pull down the first power supply voltage AVDD and the common voltage Vcom to the ground voltage GND to achieve rapid discharge and charge emptying in the display panel 140. , It can reduce the charge residual of the liquid crystal cell (not shown) in the display panel 140, reduce the flickering at power-on, and improve the image sticking (IS).

綜上所述,本發明實施例的電源電壓同步電路及其顯示裝置,會比較第一電源電壓與第二電源電壓之間的電壓差與參考電壓,以決定第一電源電壓是否提供至源極驅動器的第一電源線。藉此,可避免源極驅動器內的靜電放電元件遭受過高電壓而崩潰。並且,在源極驅動器尚未運作穩定時,電源電壓同步電路可將共同電壓拉低至接地電壓,以對顯示面板中的電荷進行放電,進而避免顯示面板顯示錯誤。 In summary, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit and the display device of the embodiment of the present invention compare the voltage difference between the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage and the reference voltage to determine whether the first power supply voltage is provided to the source. The first power cord of the drive. Thereby, the electrostatic discharge element in the source driver can be prevented from being collapsed due to excessive voltage. In addition, when the source driver is not yet stable, the power supply voltage synchronization circuit can pull the common voltage to the ground voltage to discharge the charge in the display panel, thereby avoiding display panel display errors.
