現有的防窺顯示螢幕是在一般液晶顯示器中多加入一層防窺層,並於防窺層上下兩側的電極板施加電壓產生電壓差,使得防窺層內的液晶根據不同電壓差改變透射率,進而達到改變顯示螢幕可視角度的功效。The existing privacy display screens add an additional privacy layer to the general liquid crystal display, and apply a voltage to the electrode plates on the upper and lower sides of the privacy layer to generate a voltage difference, so that the liquid crystal in the privacy layer changes the transmittance according to different voltage differences. , And then achieve the effect of changing the viewing angle of the display screen.

然而,目前技術通常採用的架構係在防窺層下方電極板輸入切換於正負電壓之間的交流電壓訊號,而上方電極板則接地。就電路設計而言,此種驅動架構中負電壓的轉換效率不佳。另外,基於顯示器面板製程的特性,每個顯示器面板改變透射率需要施加的電壓差有所不同,因此需要對每個顯示器面板調整所施加的電壓。綜上所述,如何解決上述缺失為此業界亟待解決的問題。However, the current technology usually adopts a structure in which the electrode plate under the anti-peep layer inputs an AC voltage signal switched between positive and negative voltages, and the upper electrode plate is grounded. As far as the circuit design is concerned, the conversion efficiency of the negative voltage in this drive architecture is not good. In addition, based on the characteristics of the display panel manufacturing process, the voltage difference required for each display panel to change the transmittance is different, so the applied voltage needs to be adjusted for each display panel. In summary, how to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings is an urgent problem in the industry.

以下將同時以第4圖與第5圖來進一步說明驅動電路400的操作。第5圖為根據本揭示文件一些實施例所繪示的顯示裝置100的訊號波形時序圖。在一些實施例中,升壓轉換器410根據控制訊號CS的不同準位提供具有不同大小的直流電壓訊號AVDD。 Hereinafter, the operation of the driving circuit 400 will be further described with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 at the same time. FIG. 5 is a timing diagram of signal waveforms of the display device 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the boost converter 410 provides the DC voltage signal AVDD with different magnitudes according to different levels of the control signal CS.

舉例來說,當控制訊號CS在第一時段T1為低準位時,升壓轉換器410提供具有第一電壓準位V1的直流電壓訊號AVDD,而當控制訊號CS在第二時段T2為高準位時,升壓轉換器410提供具有第二電壓準位V2的直流電壓訊號AVDD,且第一電壓準位V1不同於第二電壓準位V2。也就是說,藉由將控制訊號CS於不同準位之間切換,升壓轉換器410能夠將輸入電壓Vin升壓為具有第一電壓準位V1或是第二電壓準位V2的直流電壓訊號AVDD。 For example, when the control signal CS is low in the first period T1, the boost converter 410 provides the DC voltage signal AVDD with the first voltage level V1, and when the control signal CS is high in the second period T2 When the voltage level is set, the boost converter 410 provides a DC voltage signal AVDD having a second voltage level V2, and the first voltage level V1 is different from the second voltage level V2. That is, by switching the control signal CS between different levels, the boost converter 410 can boost the input voltage Vin to a DC voltage signal having the first voltage level V1 or the second voltage level V2 AVDD.

在一些實施例中,比較器420用於以直流電壓訊號AVDD作為工作電壓,以產生電壓範圍對應於直流電壓訊號AVDD之大小的驅動電壓訊號DS。更詳細地說,第一運算放大器421藉由比較正輸入端VA+與負輸入端VA-間的電壓大小,輸出電壓範圍與直流電壓訊號AVDD的電壓準位正相關的驅動電壓訊號DS。 In some embodiments, the comparator 420 is used to use the DC voltage signal AVDD as the operating voltage to generate the driving voltage signal DS with a voltage range corresponding to the magnitude of the DC voltage signal AVDD. In more detail, the first operational amplifier 421 compares the voltage between the positive input terminal VA+ and the negative input terminal VA- to output the driving voltage signal DS whose voltage range is positively correlated with the voltage level of the DC voltage signal AVDD.

舉例來說,於第一時段T1,直流電壓訊號AVDD具有第一電壓準位V1,驅動電壓訊號DS則具有與第一電壓準位V1對應的第一電壓範圍Ra(亦即0~V1)。於第二 時段,直流電壓訊號AVDD具有第二電壓準位V2,驅動電壓訊號DS則具有與第二電壓準位V2對應的第二電壓範圍(亦即0~V2)。承上所述,第一電壓範圍Ra不同於第二電壓範圍Rb,且第一電壓範圍Ra與第二電壓範圍Rb中的電壓值不小於0。 For example, in the first time period T1, the DC voltage signal AVDD has a first voltage level V1, and the driving voltage signal DS has a first voltage range Ra (that is, 0~V1) corresponding to the first voltage level V1. Yu the second During the period, the DC voltage signal AVDD has a second voltage level V2, and the driving voltage signal DS has a second voltage range (ie, 0~V2) corresponding to the second voltage level V2. In summary, the first voltage range Ra is different from the second voltage range Rb, and the voltage values in the first voltage range Ra and the second voltage range Rb are not less than zero.

在一些實施例中,當驅動電壓訊號DS具有第一電壓範圍Ra時,顯示裝置100處於共享模式,而當驅動電壓訊號DS具有第二電壓範圍Rb時,顯示裝置100處於防窺模式。 In some embodiments, when the driving voltage signal DS has the first voltage range Ra, the display device 100 is in the sharing mode, and when the driving voltage signal DS has the second voltage range Rb, the display device 100 is in the privacy mode.

在一些實施例中,第一時脈訊號CLK1的電壓範圍介於接地電壓與參考電壓VX在第二節點N2的分壓之間。因此,第一時脈訊號CLK1的電壓會週期性地大於或小於第二節點N2的電壓,導致輸出的驅動電壓訊號DS具有與第一時脈訊號CLK1相同的頻率。 In some embodiments, the voltage range of the first clock signal CLK1 is between the ground voltage and the divided voltage of the reference voltage VX at the second node N2. Therefore, the voltage of the first clock signal CLK1 is periodically greater than or less than the voltage of the second node N2, resulting in the output driving voltage signal DS having the same frequency as the first clock signal CLK1.

在一些實施例中,半壓器430用以提供公共訊號Hf_AVDD至第2圖的公共電極層201。更確切地說,第二運算放大器431輸出與正輸入端VB+(亦即第三節點N3)具有相同電壓準位的公共訊號Hf_AVDD。由於第三電阻R3與第四電阻R4具有相同的電阻值,第三節點N3的電壓為直流電壓訊號AVDD的電壓準位之一半。換言之,公共訊號Hf_AVDD的電壓準位為直流電壓訊號AVDD的電壓準位之一半。 In some embodiments, the voltage half 430 is used to provide the common signal Hf_AVDD to the common electrode layer 201 in FIG. 2. More specifically, the second operational amplifier 431 outputs the common signal Hf_AVDD with the same voltage level as the positive input terminal VB+ (that is, the third node N3). Since the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 have the same resistance value, the voltage of the third node N3 is half of the voltage level of the DC voltage signal AVDD. In other words, the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD is half of the voltage level of the DC voltage signal AVDD.

舉例來說,於第一時段T1,直流電壓訊號AVDD具有第一電壓準位V1,而公共訊號Hf_AVDD的電壓準位為第一電壓準位V1之一半(於第5圖中標示為1/2 V1)。於第二時段,直流電壓訊號AVDD具有第二電壓準位V2,而公共訊號Hf_AVDD的電壓準位為第二電壓準位V2之一半(於第5圖中標示為1/2 V2)。For example, in the first time period T1, the DC voltage signal AVDD has the first voltage level V1, and the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD is half of the first voltage level V1 (marked as 1/2 in Figure 5). V1). In the second period, the DC voltage signal AVDD has the second voltage level V2, and the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD is half of the second voltage level V2 (labeled as 1/2 V2 in FIG. 5).

由上述可知,藉由產生電壓值在第一電壓範圍Ra與第二電壓範圍Rb中均不小於0的驅動電壓訊號DS來驅動顯示裝置100,將能避免驅動電路400在轉換負電壓效率不佳的問題。舉例來說,驅動電壓訊號DS的第一電壓範圍Ra為0~20V,半壓器430產生10V的公共訊號Hf_AVDD使得顯示裝置100處於共享模式;而驅動電壓訊號DS的第二電壓範圍Rb為0~10V,半壓器430產生5V的公共訊號Hf_AVDD使得顯示裝置100處於防窺模式。It can be seen from the above that by generating a driving voltage signal DS whose voltage value is not less than 0 in the first voltage range Ra and the second voltage range Rb to drive the display device 100, it will be possible to prevent the driving circuit 400 from being inefficient in converting negative voltages. The problem. For example, the first voltage range Ra of the driving voltage signal DS is 0-20V, the half-voltage 430 generates a common signal Hf_AVDD of 10V to make the display device 100 in the sharing mode; and the second voltage range Rb of the driving voltage signal DS is 0 ~10V, the half-voltage 430 generates a 5V common signal Hf_AVDD so that the display device 100 is in the privacy mode.

在另一些實施例中,第4圖中的驅動電路400更包含了內部匯流排440、積體電路介接匯流排450、暫存器460以及記憶體470。升壓轉換器410透過內部匯流排440耦接於積體電路介接匯流排450、暫存器460以及記憶體470。In other embodiments, the driving circuit 400 in FIG. 4 further includes an internal bus 440, an integrated circuit interface bus 450, a register 460, and a memory 470. The boost converter 410 is coupled to the integrated circuit interface bus 450, the register 460, and the memory 470 through the internal bus 440.

在一些實施例中,積體電路介接匯流排450用於接收資料訊號SData與第二時脈訊號CLK2。積體電路介接匯流排450透過內部匯流排440將資料訊號SData中包含的多個指定電壓值Vdata1~VdataN儲存於暫存器460。In some embodiments, the integrated circuit interface bus 450 is used to receive the data signal SData and the second clock signal CLK2. The integrated circuit interface bus 450 stores a plurality of specified voltage values Vdata1~VdataN included in the data signal SData in the register 460 through the internal bus 440.

在一些實施例中,於顯示裝置100的出廠前測試階段,升壓轉換器410可以藉由內部匯流排440存取暫存器460,以依據指定電壓值Vdata1~VdataN逐步調升(或調降)直流電壓訊號AVDD的第一電壓準位V1或第二電壓準位V2,進而逐步調整第2圖中防窺模組110的液晶偏轉角度。因此,產線人員能測試每個顯示裝置100的防窺效果,以適性地校準其直流電壓訊號AVDD的第一電壓準位V1與第二電壓準位V2,亦即校準其廣可視角度Ɵ1與窄可視角度Ɵ2。當廣可視角度Ɵ1與窄可視角度Ɵ2符合各自的測試標準時,升壓轉換器410可以將指定電壓值Vdata1~ VdataN中對應的一或多者儲存於記憶體470中,以固定第一電壓準位V1與第二電壓準位V2於往後的運作中的數值。如此一來,不同顯示裝置100的廣可視角度Ɵ1與窄可視角度Ɵ2(亦即,防窺效果)便會趨於一致。In some embodiments, during the pre-factory test phase of the display device 100, the boost converter 410 can access the register 460 through the internal bus 440 to gradually increase (or decrease) according to the specified voltage values Vdata1~VdataN. ) The first voltage level V1 or the second voltage level V2 of the DC voltage signal AVDD, so as to gradually adjust the liquid crystal deflection angle of the privacy module 110 in Figure 2. Therefore, the production line personnel can test the anti-peeping effect of each display device 100 to appropriately calibrate the first voltage level V1 and the second voltage level V2 of the DC voltage signal AVDD, that is, calibrate its wide viewing angle Ɵ1 and Narrow viewing angle Ɵ2. When the wide viewing angle Ɵ1 and the narrow viewing angle Ɵ2 meet the respective test standards, the boost converter 410 can store one or more of the specified voltage values Vdata1~VdataN in the memory 470 to fix the first voltage level The values of V1 and the second voltage level V2 in subsequent operations. In this way, the wide viewing angle Ɵ1 and the narrow viewing angle Ɵ2 (that is, the anti-peeping effect) of different display devices 100 will tend to be the same.

舉例來說,升壓轉換器410存取暫存器460中的指定電壓值Vdata2,則於第一時段T1,升壓轉換器410將直流電壓訊號AVDD的第一電壓準位V1調整為指定電壓值Vdata2,使得顯示裝置100具有廣可視角度Ɵ1。此時,若產線人員判定廣可視角度Ɵ1的數值符合測試標準,則升壓轉換器410可以將指定電壓值Vdata2儲存於記憶體470中。For example, the boost converter 410 accesses the specified voltage value Vdata2 in the register 460, and in the first period T1, the boost converter 410 adjusts the first voltage level V1 of the DC voltage signal AVDD to the specified voltage The value Vdata2 enables the display device 100 to have a wide viewing angle Ɵ1. At this time, if the production line personnel determine that the value of the wide viewing angle Ɵ1 meets the test standard, the boost converter 410 may store the specified voltage value Vdata2 in the memory 470.

又例如,升壓轉換器410存取暫存器460中的指定電壓值Vdata4,則於第二時段T2,升壓轉換器410將直流電壓訊號AVDD的第二電壓準位V2調整為指定電壓值Vdata4,使得顯示裝置100具有窄可視角度Ɵ2。此時,若產線人員判定窄可視角度Ɵ2的數值符合測試標準,則升壓轉換器410可以將指定電壓值Vdata4儲存於記憶體470中。For another example, the boost converter 410 accesses the specified voltage value Vdata4 in the register 460, and in the second time period T2, the boost converter 410 adjusts the second voltage level V2 of the DC voltage signal AVDD to the specified voltage value Vdata4 enables the display device 100 to have a narrow viewing angle Ɵ2. At this time, if the production line personnel determine that the value of the narrow viewing angle Ɵ2 meets the test standard, the boost converter 410 may store the specified voltage value Vdata4 in the memory 470.

在一些實施例中,記憶體470可以用各種合適的非揮發性記憶體來實現,例如可編程唯讀記憶體(Programmable Read-Only Memory, PROM)。在另一些實施例中,暫存器460可以用各種合適的非揮發性記憶體、揮發性記憶體或其組合來實現,例如快閃記憶體。In some embodiments, the memory 470 may be implemented by various suitable non-volatile memories, such as Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM). In other embodiments, the register 460 can be implemented by various suitable non-volatile memory, volatile memory, or a combination thereof, such as flash memory.

第6圖為根據本揭示文件一些實施例所繪示的驅動方法600的流程圖。如第6圖所示,驅動方法600包含流程S601、流程S602、流程S603、流程S604以及流程S605。以下流程係參照第4圖與第5圖來作說明,但不以其為限。FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a driving method 600 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the driving method 600 includes a process S601, a process S602, a process S603, a process S604, and a process S605. The following process is described with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, but not limited to them.

於流程S601,利用顯示裝置100接收控制訊號CS。在一些實施例中,控制訊號CS在第一時段T1內為低準位,使得顯示裝置100處於共享模式;控制訊號CS在第二時段內為高準位,使得顯示裝置100處於防窺模式。In the process S601, the display device 100 is used to receive the control signal CS. In some embodiments, the control signal CS is at a low level in the first time period T1, so that the display device 100 is in the sharing mode; the control signal CS is at a high level in the second time period, so that the display device 100 is in the privacy mode.

於流程S602,利用升壓轉換器410根據控制訊號CS的不同準位提供具有不同大小的直流電壓訊號AVDD至比較器420與半壓器430。在一些實施例中,升壓轉換器410於第一時段T1提供具有第一電壓準位V1的直流電壓訊號AVDD,於第二時段T2提供具有第二電壓準位V2的直流電壓訊號AVDD。In the process S602, the boost converter 410 is used to provide the DC voltage signal AVDD with different magnitudes to the comparator 420 and the half-voltage 430 according to different levels of the control signal CS. In some embodiments, the boost converter 410 provides the DC voltage signal AVDD having the first voltage level V1 during the first period T1, and provides the DC voltage signal AVDD having the second voltage level V2 during the second period T2.

於流程S603,利用比較器420以直流電壓訊號AVDD作為工作電壓以產生電壓範圍對應於直流電壓訊號AVDD之大小的驅動電壓訊號DS,並將驅動電壓訊號DS傳遞至驅動電極層202。在一些實施例中,比較器420於第一時段T1提供具有第一電壓範圍Ra的驅動電壓訊號DS,於第二時段T2提供具有第二電壓範圍Rb的驅動電壓訊號DS。In the process S603, the comparator 420 uses the DC voltage signal AVDD as the working voltage to generate a driving voltage signal DS with a voltage range corresponding to the magnitude of the DC voltage signal AVDD, and transmits the driving voltage signal DS to the driving electrode layer 202. In some embodiments, the comparator 420 provides the driving voltage signal DS having the first voltage range Ra during the first period T1, and provides the driving voltage signal DS having the second voltage range Rb during the second period T2.

於流程S604,利用半壓器430提供公共訊號Hf_AVDD至公共電極層201,其中公共訊號Hf_AVDD的電壓準位為直流電壓訊號AVDD的電壓準位之一半。在一些實施例中,公共訊號Hf_AVDD於第一時段T1的電壓準位為第一電壓準位V1之一半,且公共訊號Hf_AVDD於第二時段T2的電壓準位為第二電壓準位V2之一半。In the process S604, the voltage half 430 is used to provide the common signal Hf_AVDD to the common electrode layer 201, wherein the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD is half of the voltage level of the DC voltage signal AVDD. In some embodiments, the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD in the first period T1 is half of the first voltage level V1, and the voltage level of the common signal Hf_AVDD in the second period T2 is half of the second voltage level V2 .

於流程S605,依據驅動電壓訊號DS將顯示裝置100操作於共享模式或防窺模式。例如,若驅動電壓訊號DS具有第一電壓範圍Ra,則顯示裝置100處於共享模式。又例如,當驅動電壓訊號DS具有第二電壓範圍Rb,則顯示裝置100處於防窺模式。In the process S605, the display device 100 is operated in the sharing mode or the privacy mode according to the driving voltage signal DS. For example, if the driving voltage signal DS has the first voltage range Ra, the display device 100 is in the sharing mode. For another example, when the driving voltage signal DS has the second voltage range Rb, the display device 100 is in the privacy mode.

在一些實施例中,當顯示裝置100處於共享模式時,公共電極層201與驅動電極層202間具有第一電壓差,且液晶層103內的液晶具有第一透射率;當顯示裝置100處於防窺模式時,公共電極層201與驅動電極層202間具有第二電壓差,且液晶層103內的液晶具有第二透射率,其中第一電壓差大於第二電壓差,且第一透射率大於第二透射率。也就是說,共享模式下的顯示裝置100因為具有較高透射率的液晶層103,因而有較廣的可視角度Ɵ1。另一方面,防窺模式下的顯示裝置100具有較低透射率的液晶層103,因而有較窄的可視角度Ɵ2。In some embodiments, when the display device 100 is in the sharing mode, there is a first voltage difference between the common electrode layer 201 and the driving electrode layer 202, and the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 103 has a first transmittance; In the peep mode, there is a second voltage difference between the common electrode layer 201 and the driving electrode layer 202, and the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 103 has a second transmittance, wherein the first voltage difference is greater than the second voltage difference, and the first transmittance is greater than The second transmittance. In other words, the display device 100 in the sharing mode has a wider viewing angle Ɵ1 because of the liquid crystal layer 103 with higher transmittance. On the other hand, the display device 100 in the privacy mode has a liquid crystal layer 103 with a lower transmittance, and thus has a narrow viewing angle Ɵ2.

在一些實施例中,上述第一電壓差正相關於第一電壓準位V1,第二電壓差正相關於第二電壓準位V2。In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first voltage difference is positively related to the first voltage level V1, and the second voltage difference is positively related to the second voltage level V2.
