Description

顯示面板之驅動電路及驅動方法 Display panel driving circuit and driving method

本發明係指一種驅動電路及驅動方法,尤指一種用於顯示面板可達到均勻顯示亮度之驅動電路及驅動方法。 The present invention relates to a driving circuit and a driving method, in particular to a driving circuit and a driving method for a display panel to achieve uniform display brightness.

在被動式有機發光二極體顯示器中,當驅動其中一列掃描線上顯示單元(像素)發亮的數量相對較多於驅動位在其他列掃描線上顯示單元發亮的數量時,將使得該列之各顯示單元所獲得的電源相對低於其他列上發亮的顯示單元獲得的電源,亦即負載較大造成亮度降低,進而導致顯示畫面產生亮度不均勻的現象。因此,中華人民共和國專利公告號CN104575375B揭露了一種具有均衡顯示亮度功能的被動矩陣有機發光二極體顯示器及驅動方法,其透過計算各掃描線上的即將被驅動顯示單元之總數,再依據該總數以正相關方式調整掃描驅動週期的時間長度,使顯示時間增長而在視覺上產生亮度補償效果。另外,此前案也透過調整電壓準位達到顯示亮度匹配平衡的功效。簡言之,前案是藉由時間補償(調整驅動週期)或電壓補償(調整驅動電壓差)的技術方式,達成亮度平衡的效果。然而,上述驅動方法仍有不足之處。 In the passive organic light emitting diode display, when the number of display units (pixels) on one column of scan lines is driven to light up relatively more than the number of display units on the scan lines of other columns to be driven to light up, each column of the column will be driven to light up. The power obtained by the display unit is relatively lower than the power obtained by the bright display units on other columns, that is, the greater the load, the lower the brightness, which in turn leads to the phenomenon of uneven brightness of the display screen. Therefore, the People's Republic of China Patent Publication No. CN104575375B discloses a passive matrix organic light emitting diode display with a function of balancing display brightness and a driving method, which calculates the total number of display units to be driven on each scan line, and then calculates the The positive correlation method adjusts the time length of the scan driving cycle, so that the display time is increased and the brightness compensation effect is visually produced. In addition, the previous case also achieved the effect of matching the display brightness by adjusting the voltage level. In short, the former solution achieves the effect of brightness balance by means of time compensation (adjusting the driving period) or voltage compensation (adjusting the driving voltage difference). However, the above driving methods still have shortcomings.

因此,本發明的主要目的即在於提供一種顯示面板之驅動電路及驅 動方法,有別於先前技術,且亦能解決亮度不一致的問題,並能解決先前技術不足之處。 Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a driving circuit and a driving circuit for a display panel. The dynamic method is different from the prior art, and can also solve the problem of inconsistent brightness and solve the deficiencies of the prior art.

本發明揭露一種驅動電路,用於驅動一顯示面板,該顯示面板包含複數掃描線、複數資料線及複數像素。該驅動電路包含:一掃描驅動電路、一資料驅動電路以及一控制電路。該掃描驅動電路耦接於該複數掃描線。該資料驅動電路耦接於該複數資料線,且具有驅動該複數像素的至少一電流源,該至少一電流源提供至少一電流。該控制電路耦接於該掃描驅動電路及該資料驅動電路,並依據該資料驅動電路驅動該複數像素的部分像素的負載狀態調整該至少一電流源提供的該至少一電流。 The invention discloses a driving circuit for driving a display panel. The display panel includes a plurality of scanning lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixels. The driving circuit includes: a scanning driving circuit, a data driving circuit and a control circuit. The scan driving circuit is coupled to the plurality of scan lines. The data driving circuit is coupled to the plurality of data lines and has at least one current source for driving the plurality of pixels, and the at least one current source provides at least one current. The control circuit is coupled to the scan driving circuit and the data driving circuit, and adjusts the at least one current provided by the at least one current source according to the load state of the data driving circuit driving some pixels of the plurality of pixels.

本發明揭露一種驅動方法,用於一顯示面板,該顯示面板包含複數掃描線、複數資料線及複數像素。該驅動方法包含以下步驟:提供至少一電流驅動該複數像素;以及依據驅動該複數像素之部分像素的負載狀態調整該至少一電流。 The present invention discloses a driving method for a display panel comprising a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixels. The driving method includes the following steps: providing at least one current to drive the plurality of pixels; and adjusting the at least one current according to the load state of some pixels driving the plurality of pixels.

因此,透過依據將被驅動像素的負載狀態調整電流源所輸出的電流,而透過電流的補償即可以調整被驅動像素的亮度,進而達到均勻顯示亮度的效果。 Therefore, by adjusting the current output by the current source according to the load state of the pixel to be driven, the brightness of the driven pixel can be adjusted through the compensation of the current, thereby achieving the effect of uniform display brightness.

驅動電路2包含一電源產生器20、一掃描驅動電路21、一資料驅動電路22、一儲存單元23以及一控制電路24。電源產生器20耦接於掃描驅動電路21與資料驅動電路22,以提供掃描驅動電路21及資料驅動電路22所需之電源,例如電壓或者電流。掃描驅動電路21耦接於該複數掃描線11,並用於提供一掃描訊號至該複數掃描線11,以掃描該複數掃描線11。於此實施例中,掃描訊號為一禁能電壓VCOMH或者為一致能準位GND,禁能電壓VCOMH相對於致能準位GND為高電壓,而致能準位GND可為接地準位。當掃描訊號為致能準位GND時則掃描掃描線11,若掃描訊號為禁能電壓VCOMH則未掃描掃描線11。資料驅動電路22耦接於該複數資料線12且具有複數電流源221。於本發明之一實施例中,每一電流源221可為一電流鏡,能夠鏡射電源產生器20所輸出至資料驅動電路22的電流。複數開關223分別位於該複數電流源221與該複數資料線12之間,且該複數電流源221經該複數開關223以提供電流至該複數像素13,以驅動該複數像素13,使該複數像素13能發亮。因此,該資料驅動電路22依據一顯示資料控制該複數開關223,而提供電流至欲驅動之像素13。於本發明之一實施例中,顯示資料可儲存於儲存單元23,而資料驅動電路22耦接於儲存單元23,以接收顯示資料,或者由電子裝置之一主機(Host)直接傳輸顯示資料至資料驅動電路22。 The driving circuit 2 includes a power generator 20 , a scanning driving circuit 21 , a data driving circuit 22 , a storage unit 23 and a control circuit 24 . The power generator 20 is coupled to the scan driving circuit 21 and the data driving circuit 22 to provide the power required by the scan driving circuit 21 and the data driving circuit 22 , such as voltage or current. The scan driving circuit 21 is coupled to the plurality of scan lines 11 and is used for providing a scan signal to the plurality of scan lines 11 to scan the plurality of scan lines 11 . In this embodiment, the scan signal is a disable voltage VCOMH or an enable level GND, the disable voltage VCOMH is a high voltage relative to the enable level GND, and the enable level GND can be a ground level. When the scan signal is at the enable level GND, the scan line 11 is scanned, and if the scan signal is at the disable voltage VCOMH, the scan line 11 is not scanned. The data driving circuit 22 is coupled to the plurality of data lines 12 and has a plurality of current sources 221 . In one embodiment of the present invention, each current source 221 can be a current mirror capable of mirroring the current output by the power generator 20 to the data driving circuit 22 . The plurality of switches 223 are respectively located between the plurality of current sources 221 and the plurality of data lines 12 , and the plurality of current sources 221 provide current to the plurality of pixels 13 through the plurality of switches 223 to drive the plurality of pixels 13 to make the plurality of pixels 13 can shine. Therefore, the data driving circuit 22 controls the plurality of switches 223 according to a display data to provide current to the pixel 13 to be driven. In an embodiment of the present invention, the display data can be stored in the storage unit 23, and the data driving circuit 22 is coupled to the storage unit 23 to receive the display data, or directly transmit the display data from a host (Host) of the electronic device to the storage unit 23. Data driving circuit 22 .

此外,於掃描驅動電路21掃描每一列掃描線11期間,資料驅動電路22還可提供一預充電電壓VPRE或一放電準位VDIS至該複數資料線12,也就是可提供預充電電壓VPRE或放電準位VDIS至部分像素13。資料驅動電路22於驅動部分像素13之前,可先進入一預充電階段(precharge phase),以對欲驅動之像素13進行預充電,再進入一電流驅動階段(constant current phase),即提供電流至 欲驅動之像素13,之後進入一放電階段(discharge phase),即提供放電準位VDIS至已驅動之像素13,以對已驅動之像素13進行放電。於本發明之一實施例中,放電準位VDIS可為接地端的準位。同於上述,該複數開關223也位於預充電電壓VPRE與該複數資料線12之間,以及位於放電準位VDIS與該複數資料線12之間,因此資料驅動電路22會依據顯示資料控制開關223,以提供預充電電壓VPRE或放電準位VDIS至部份像素13。須說明的是,每一電流源221對應一資料線12,因此每一電流源221能驅動對應之資料線12上的像素13。於本發明之一實施例中,一電流源221並非只能對應一資料線12,而可一電流源221對應複數資料線12,而可減少電流源221之數量,但電流源221與每一資料線12之間仍設有開關223。 In addition, when the scan driving circuit 21 scans each column of scan lines 11, the data driving circuit 22 can also provide a precharge voltage VPRE or a discharge level VDIS to the plurality of data lines 12, that is, can provide the precharge voltage VPRE or discharge Level VDIS to some of the pixels 13 . Before driving some of the pixels 13, the data driving circuit 22 may first enter a precharge phase to precharge the pixels 13 to be driven, and then enter a constant current phase, that is, supply current to The pixel 13 to be driven then enters a discharge phase, that is, the discharge level VDIS is provided to the driven pixel 13 to discharge the driven pixel 13 . In one embodiment of the present invention, the discharge level VDIS may be the level of the ground terminal. As above, the plurality of switches 223 are also located between the precharge voltage VPRE and the plurality of data lines 12, and between the discharge level VDIS and the plurality of data lines 12, so the data driving circuit 22 controls the switches 223 according to the display data , to provide the precharge voltage VPRE or the discharge level VDIS to some of the pixels 13 . It should be noted that each current source 221 corresponds to a data line 12 , so each current source 221 can drive the pixels 13 on the corresponding data line 12 . In an embodiment of the present invention, a current source 221 does not only correspond to one data line 12, but a current source 221 can correspond to a plurality of data lines 12, which can reduce the number of current sources 221, but the current source 221 and each Switches 223 are still provided between the data lines 12 .

儲存單元23可存有顯示資料及一補償參考資料,顯示資料包括對應每一掃描線11而資料驅動電路22欲驅動之像素13與不驅動之像素13的資訊,所以依據顯示資料可得知資料驅動電路22對應每一掃描線11欲驅動像素13的數量,也就是可以得知資料驅動電路22驅動部分像素13下的負載狀態,欲驅動越多像素13表示負載越重,欲驅動較少像素13表示負載較小,而補償參考資料為一負載對補償量參考資料,其可為一負載對應補償量的對應表或可為一類比電路的至少一參考訊號,此參考訊號相當於負載與補償量的對應關係,類比電路依據補償參考資料可產生補償訊號。 The storage unit 23 can store display data and a compensation reference data. The display data includes the information of the pixels 13 to be driven by the data driving circuit 22 and the pixels 13 not to be driven corresponding to each scan line 11 , so the data can be obtained according to the display data. The driving circuit 22 corresponds to the number of pixels 13 to be driven by each scan line 11 , that is, the load status of the data driving circuit 22 to drive some pixels 13 can be known. The more pixels 13 to be driven, the heavier the load, the less pixels to be driven. 13 indicates that the load is small, and the compensation reference data is a load-to-compensation reference data, which can be a correspondence table of a load corresponding to the compensation amount or can be at least one reference signal of an analog circuit, and this reference signal is equivalent to the load and compensation The corresponding relationship between the quantities, the analog circuit can generate the compensation signal according to the compensation reference data.

於本發明之一實施例中,負載對補償量參考資料是以第2圖所示之一亮度負載曲線圖做為參考依據而設計。亮度負載曲線圖是經由實驗或者模擬顯示器之顯示面板而獲得,不同面板因為製程、設計等而具有不同特性,所以不同面板的亮度負載曲線圖並不相同。從亮度負載曲線圖可知,在同樣電流下,負載越大則受驅動之像素的亮度越低,負載越小則受驅動之像素的亮度越高。 依據亮度負載曲線圖與設定之基準,如以第2圖虛線為基準,負載較小時則必須減少電流以降低亮度,負載較大時則必須增加電流以增加亮度,如此驅動位於不同列之掃描線的像素且驅動像素的負載狀態不同時,例如驅動像素的數量不同,可避免顯示面板1之不同列的像素顯示之畫面的亮度差異過大,因此顯示面板1顯示之畫面的亮度可較為一致。 In an embodiment of the present invention, the load-to-compensation reference data is designed based on a luminance load curve shown in FIG. 2 as a reference. The brightness load curve is obtained through experiments or simulation of the display panel of the display. Different panels have different characteristics due to the manufacturing process, design, etc., so the brightness load curve of different panels is not the same. It can be seen from the brightness load curve that under the same current, the greater the load, the lower the brightness of the driven pixel, and the smaller the load, the higher the brightness of the driven pixel. According to the brightness load curve and the set benchmark, such as the dotted line in Figure 2, when the load is small, the current must be reduced to reduce the brightness, and when the load is large, the current must be increased to increase the brightness, so as to drive the scanning in different rows. When the load states of the pixels of the line and the driving pixels are different, for example, the number of driving pixels is different, the brightness difference of the picture displayed by the pixels of different columns of the display panel 1 can be avoided too large, so the brightness of the picture displayed by the display panel 1 can be more consistent.

控制電路24耦接於電源產生器20、掃描驅動電路21、資料驅動電路22、及儲存單元23,並具有一補償電路241與一控制單元243。補償電路241耦接儲存單元23,以接收顯示資料與補償參考資料,以可依據顯示資料與補償參考資料產生一補償訊號CS,然後將補償訊號CS傳送給電源產生器20,以調控電源產生器20輸出至資料驅動電路22的電流,進而調整該複數電流源221所提供的電流。因此,控制電路24可依據資料驅動電路22驅動該複數像素13之部分像素的負載狀態調整該複數電流源221提供的電流。控制單元243耦接掃描驅動電路21與資料驅動電路22,以提供一時序訊號至掃描驅動電路21與資料驅動電路22,掃描驅動電路21與資料驅動電路22分別依據時序訊號進行運作。 The control circuit 24 is coupled to the power generator 20 , the scan driving circuit 21 , the data driving circuit 22 , and the storage unit 23 , and has a compensation circuit 241 and a control unit 243 . The compensation circuit 241 is coupled to the storage unit 23 to receive the display data and the compensation reference data, so as to generate a compensation signal CS according to the display data and the compensation reference data, and then transmit the compensation signal CS to the power generator 20 to control the power generator 20 outputs the current to the data driving circuit 22 to adjust the current provided by the plurality of current sources 221 . Therefore, the control circuit 24 can adjust the current provided by the plurality of current sources 221 according to the load state of the data driving circuit 22 for driving some of the pixels of the plurality of pixels 13 . The control unit 243 is coupled to the scan driving circuit 21 and the data driving circuit 22 to provide a timing signal to the scan driving circuit 21 and the data driving circuit 22, and the scan driving circuit 21 and the data driving circuit 22 operate according to the timing signal respectively.

具體而言,以第3圖為例,若以點亮(驅動)單一像素下之亮度為基準,當負載愈大(即須點亮的像素愈多),則所需的補償量愈大;反之,當負載愈小,則所需的補償量也愈小。其中,需說明的是,「補償量」即為「須修正的電流量」。舉例來說,假設每一掃描線11上有16個像素,而在顯示一畫面時,需點亮位於第一列掃描線11上的4個像素,且需點亮位於第二列掃描線11上的12個像素,若以點亮1個像素下之亮度為基準,則因點亮12個像素的負載值大於點亮4個像素的負載值,所以點亮12個像素所需補償的電流值大於點亮4個像素所需補償的電流值。換言之,點亮12個像素所需增加的電流值大於點亮4個像素所需 增加的電流值。 Specifically, taking Fig. 3 as an example, if the brightness under lighting (driving) a single pixel is used as the benchmark, the greater the load (that is, the more pixels to be lit), the greater the compensation amount required; Conversely, when the load is smaller, the amount of compensation required is smaller. Among them, it should be noted that the "compensation amount" is the "current amount to be corrected". For example, it is assumed that there are 16 pixels on each scan line 11, and when a picture is displayed, 4 pixels on the scan line 11 in the first column need to be lit, and the scan line 11 in the second column needs to be lit For the 12 pixels above, if the brightness under lighting one pixel is used as the benchmark, since the load value of lighting 12 pixels is greater than the load value of lighting 4 pixels, the current that needs to be compensated for lighting 12 pixels The value is greater than the compensation current value required to light up 4 pixels. In other words, the increased current value required to light up 12 pixels is greater than that required to light up 4 pixels increased current value.

更進一步來說,假設每一列掃描線11上有16個像素,若以點亮1個像素下之亮度為基準,可將16個像素分成四階負載,點亮1~4個像素為第一階負載、點亮5~8個像素為第二階負載、點亮9~12個像素為第三階負載,以及點亮13~16個像素為第四階負載,因此,第一階負載的補償量最少;而第四階負載的補償量最多,在此「補償量」表示增加電流。另外,在一些實施例中,也可以二進制的數位表示方法來判斷,進而將負載狀態分為多階。舉例來說,假設每一列掃描線11上有15個像素,以點亮1個像素下之亮度為基準,則可以4個位元來表示,且分為四階負載,例如分別為第四階負載(如1000~1111)對應點亮8~15個像素、第三階負載(如0100~0111)對應點亮4~7個像素、第二階負載(如0010~0011)對應點亮2~3個像素,以及第一階負載(如0001)對應點亮1個像素。補償電路241可先判斷最高位元(即第4位元)是否為1;若是,則在第四階負載(1000~1111)的範圍內,其補償量最大;若否,則再往下判斷第3位元是否為1。當第3位元為1時,則在第三階(0100~0111)的範圍內,其補償量小於最高的補償量;當第3位元為0時,則再往下判斷第2位元是否為1,依此類推。其中,第一階負載(0001)的補償量最小,甚至可以不補償。此數位方式只要判別第一個1出現在哪一個最高位元即可判斷出對應的補償量,可便於判斷及補償。 More specifically, assuming that there are 16 pixels on each column of scan lines 11, if the brightness of 1 pixel is used as the benchmark, the 16 pixels can be divided into four-level loads, and 1 to 4 pixels are lit as the first. Stage load, lighting 5~8 pixels is the second stage load, lighting 9~12 pixels is the third stage load, and lighting 13~16 pixels is the fourth stage load. Therefore, the first stage load The compensation amount is the least; the fourth-order load has the most compensation amount, and the "compensation amount" here means increasing the current. In addition, in some embodiments, a binary digit representation method can also be used to determine the load state, and then the load state can be divided into multiple levels. For example, it is assumed that there are 15 pixels on each column of scan lines 11, and based on the brightness of 1 pixel, it can be represented by 4 bits and divided into four levels of loads, such as the fourth level respectively. The load (such as 1000~1111) corresponds to lighting 8~15 pixels, the third stage load (such as 0100~0111) corresponds to lighting 4~7 pixels, and the second stage load (such as 0010~0011) corresponds to lighting 2~ 3 pixels, and the first-order load (such as 0001) corresponds to 1 pixel. The compensation circuit 241 can first determine whether the highest bit (ie, the fourth bit) is 1; if so, the compensation amount is the largest within the range of the fourth-order load (1000~1111); Whether the 3rd bit is 1. When the third bit is 1, in the range of the third order (0100~0111), the compensation amount is less than the highest compensation amount; when the third bit is 0, the second bit is judged further down is 1, and so on. Among them, the compensation amount of the first-order load (0001) is the smallest, or even no compensation. This digital method can determine the corresponding compensation amount only by judging which highest bit the first 1 appears in, which is convenient for judgment and compensation.

在一些實施例中,儲存單元23還存有一權重資料,補償電路241可依據權重資料與顯示資料得到一加權後的負載值,並根據此負載值與負載對補償量參考資料產生補償訊號CS,透過補償訊號CS調控電源產生器20輸出的電流,以調整該複數電流源221所提供的電流。具體而言,以兩掃描線11上的像素13為例,若其中一列掃描線11上的所有像素13之負載狀態皆大於另一列掃描線11上 的所有像素13之負載狀態(例如像素13尺寸比較大或像素13之阻抗比較大),則在提供相同電流下且驅動全部像素13的情況下,負載較大的像素13會相對較暗,因此本實施例藉由加權來平衡兩者之間的差異,亦即負載乘以權重,例如驅動像素的數量乘以權重,具負載較大的像素則對應的權重較大,得到的負載值較大,而具負載較小的像素則對應的權重較小,得到的負載值較小,如此依據加權後得到的負載值可得到適當的補償量,進而達到顯示亮度能夠均勻的效果。 In some embodiments, the storage unit 23 further stores a weight data, the compensation circuit 241 can obtain a weighted load value according to the weight data and the display data, and generate the compensation signal CS according to the load value and the load pair compensation amount reference data, The current output by the power generator 20 is regulated by the compensation signal CS to adjust the current provided by the plurality of current sources 221 . Specifically, taking the pixels 13 on two scan lines 11 as an example, if the load state of all the pixels 13 on one scan line 11 is greater than that on the other scan line 11 The load state of all the pixels 13 (for example, the size of the pixel 13 is relatively large or the impedance of the pixel 13 is relatively large), then when the same current is supplied and all the pixels 13 are driven, the pixel 13 with the larger load will be relatively dark. Therefore, In this embodiment, the difference between the two is balanced by weighting, that is, the load is multiplied by the weight. For example, the number of driving pixels is multiplied by the weight. The pixel with a larger load corresponds to a larger weight, and the obtained load value is larger. , and the pixel with a smaller load corresponds to a smaller weight, and the obtained load value is smaller, so that an appropriate compensation amount can be obtained according to the load value obtained after weighting, thereby achieving the effect that the display brightness can be uniform.

需注意的是,在一些實施例中,權重資料也可應用於可顯示灰階效果的顯示面板1。由於灰階度越高表示負載越高,所以在驅動相同數量的像素但灰階度不同下,透過加權方式,可以得到合適的補償量,而所依據的亮度負載曲線圖並非僅以驅動像素的數量作為負載的依據,可進一步考慮灰階度。以兩掃描線11上的像素13為例,若兩掃描線11上的所有像素13之特性皆相同且皆全被驅動,欲使其中一列掃描線11上的像素13顯示較高灰階度,則可將其負載乘以較大之權重,使得負載值也較大,進而提升其電流的補償量,達到較亮的畫面,讓兩者之間明顯有灰階度的差異。 It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the weight data can also be applied to the display panel 1 capable of displaying grayscale effects. Since the higher the gray scale, the higher the load, so when the same number of pixels are driven but the gray scale is different, an appropriate compensation amount can be obtained through the weighting method. The quantity is used as the basis for the load, and the gray scale can be further considered. Taking the pixels 13 on the two scan lines 11 as an example, if all the pixels 13 on the two scan lines 11 have the same characteristics and are all driven, in order to make the pixels 13 on one of the scan lines 11 display a higher gray scale, Then, its load can be multiplied by a larger weight, so that the load value is also larger, and then the compensation amount of its current can be increased to achieve a brighter picture, so that there is an obvious difference in gray scale between the two.

需注意的是,在其他實施例中,若以點亮16個像素下之亮度為基準,則因點亮12個像素的負載值大於點亮4個像素的負載值,所以點亮12個像素所需補償的電流值小於點亮4個像素所需補償的電流值,亦即點亮12個像素所需減少的電流值小於點亮4個像素所需減少的電流值。在此情況下,當負載愈大,則所需的補償量愈小;反之,當負載愈小,則所需的補償量也愈大。 It should be noted that, in other embodiments, if the brightness under lighting 16 pixels is used as the benchmark, since the load value of lighting 12 pixels is greater than the load value of lighting 4 pixels, 12 pixels are lighting up. The current value to be compensated is smaller than the current value to be compensated for lighting 4 pixels, that is, the current value to be reduced for lighting 12 pixels is smaller than the current value to be reduced for lighting 4 pixels. In this case, when the load is larger, the required compensation amount is smaller; conversely, when the load is smaller, the required compensation amount is also larger.

以上所述的實施例用於說明本發明的概念,本領域技術人員可據此 進行修改及變更,並不侷限於此。例如,參閱第4圖,其為本發明另一實施例的一驅動電路3之電路方塊示意圖。驅動電路3與前述實施例的驅動電路2大致相同,因此相同元件以相同符號表示。驅動電路3與驅動電路2不同之處在於,在驅動電路3的一資料驅動電路32中,每三個電流源221對應一資料線12,因此每三個電流源221能驅動對應之資料線12上的像素13;另外,驅動電路3的補償電路341直接將補償訊號CS傳送至資料驅動電路32而非傳送至驅動電路3的一電源產生器30,即資料驅動電路32直接根據補償電路341的補償訊號CS調整該複數電流源221提供的電流。詳細來說,若以點亮單一像素下之亮度為基準,當所需的補償量大時,三個開關223可分別控制三個電流源221的電流皆流至對應之資料線12上的像素13;反之,當所需的補償量小時,三個開關223可分別控制三個電流源221的其中一者之電流流至對應之資料線12上的像素13即可,其中另二者則不流入,進而調整電流的輸出。須說明的是,在本實施例中,是以每三個電流源221對應一資料線12為實施方式,但也可為其他數量的電流源221對應一資料線12,不以本實施例所揭露的態樣為限。 The above-described embodiments are used to illustrate the concept of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can Modifications and changes are not limited to this. For example, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a circuit block diagram of a driving circuit 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The driving circuit 3 is substantially the same as the driving circuit 2 of the foregoing embodiment, and therefore the same elements are denoted by the same symbols. The difference between the driving circuit 3 and the driving circuit 2 is that in a data driving circuit 32 of the driving circuit 3, every three current sources 221 corresponds to a data line 12, so every three current sources 221 can drive the corresponding data line 12 In addition, the compensation circuit 341 of the driving circuit 3 directly transmits the compensation signal CS to the data driving circuit 32 instead of to a power generator 30 of the driving circuit 3, that is, the data driving circuit 32 directly The compensation signal CS adjusts the current provided by the plurality of current sources 221 . In detail, if the brightness of a single pixel is used as the benchmark, when the required compensation amount is large, the three switches 223 can respectively control the currents of the three current sources 221 to flow to the corresponding pixels on the data line 12 . 13; Conversely, when the required compensation amount is small, the three switches 223 can respectively control the current of one of the three current sources 221 to flow to the pixel 13 on the corresponding data line 12, while the other two are not. flow in and adjust the output of the current. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, every three current sources 221 corresponds to one data line 12 as the implementation manner, but other numbers of current sources 221 may also correspond to one data line 12 , which is not the case in this embodiment. The form of disclosure is limited.

由於本發明實施例的驅動電路2、3依據負載狀態調整電流源221所輸出的電流,因此,驅動電路2、3可適用於不同的顯示面板,例如欲驅動一新的顯示面板,則可由面板廠商提供的像素大小、阻抗及容抗等負載特性,對應原始面板的負載參考值,即像素大小、阻抗及容抗等特性,來修正亮度負載曲線圖進而修正負載對補償量參考資料,如此一來,可節省重新量測與調整的時間。於本發明之一實施例中,亦可不需對應原始面板的負載參考值,依據新的顯示面板的負載特性進行模擬,而得到新的亮度負載曲線圖與新的負載對補償量參考資料。另外,由於本發明藉由電流源221提供電流驅動像素,而並非以電壓驅動像素,如此可以精確控制像素的亮度,而可提升顯示面板1之顯示品質。 Since the driving circuits 2 and 3 in the embodiment of the present invention adjust the current output by the current source 221 according to the load state, the driving circuits 2 and 3 can be applied to different display panels. The load characteristics such as pixel size, impedance and capacitive reactance provided by the manufacturer correspond to the load reference values of the original panel, that is, the characteristics of pixel size, impedance and capacitive reactance, etc., to correct the brightness load curve and then correct the reference data of the load to the compensation amount. It can save the time of re-measurement and adjustment. In an embodiment of the present invention, the load reference value corresponding to the original panel may not be corresponding, and the simulation is performed according to the load characteristic of the new display panel to obtain a new luminance load curve graph and a new load-to-compensation amount reference data. In addition, since the present invention uses the current source 221 to provide the current to drive the pixels instead of driving the pixels with voltage, the brightness of the pixels can be precisely controlled, and the display quality of the display panel 1 can be improved.

如前所述,驅動電路2或3驅動該複數像素13的階段可包括預充電階段、電流驅動階段及放電階段。詳細來說,請同時配合第5圖,其為本發明實施例之資料驅動電路22或32對像素13進行預充電、電流驅動、放電的波形示意圖。於預充電階段,資料驅動電路22或32提供預充電電壓VPRE至部分像素13,控制電路24之補償電路241可依據資料驅動電路22或32驅動部分像素13的負載狀態控制電源產生器20調整提供至資料驅動電路22或32之電壓,而調整預充電電壓VPRE,且資料驅動電路22或32也可依據補償訊號CS控制預充電電壓VPRE以對部分像素13進行預充電。於電流驅動階段,電源產生器20可依據補償訊號CS調整提供至資料驅動電路或22或32之電流,且資料驅動電路32也可依據補償訊號CS來控制電流源221對部分像素13輸出之電流。於放電階段,資料驅動電路22或32更可提供放電準位VDIS至部分像素13,電源產生器20可依據補償訊號CS調整提供至資料驅動電路22之放電準位VDIS,且資料驅動電路32也可依據補償訊號CS調整放電準位VDIS而提供至部分像素13,其表示控制電路24可依據資料驅動電路22或32驅動部分像素13的負載狀態調整放電準位VDIS。 As mentioned above, the stages in which the driving circuit 2 or 3 drives the plurality of pixels 13 may include a pre-charging stage, a current driving stage and a discharging stage. In detail, please also refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram of waveforms of the data driving circuit 22 or 32 performing precharging, current driving, and discharging on the pixel 13 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the pre-charging stage, the data driving circuit 22 or 32 provides the pre-charging voltage VPRE to some of the pixels 13, and the compensation circuit 241 of the control circuit 24 can control the power generator 20 to adjust and provide the voltage according to the load state of the data driving circuit 22 or 32 for driving some of the pixels 13. The voltage to the data driving circuit 22 or 32 adjusts the precharge voltage VPRE, and the data driving circuit 22 or 32 can also control the precharge voltage VPRE according to the compensation signal CS to precharge some of the pixels 13 . In the current driving stage, the power generator 20 can adjust the current supplied to the data driving circuit or 22 or 32 according to the compensation signal CS, and the data driving circuit 32 can also control the current output by the current source 221 to some of the pixels 13 according to the compensation signal CS . In the discharge stage, the data driving circuit 22 or 32 can further provide the discharge level VDIS to some of the pixels 13 , the power generator 20 can adjust the discharge level VDIS provided to the data driving circuit 22 according to the compensation signal CS, and the data driving circuit 32 also The discharge level VDIS can be adjusted according to the compensation signal CS and provided to some pixels 13 , which means that the control circuit 24 can adjust the discharge level VDIS according to the load state of the data driving circuit 22 or 32 for driving the partial pixels 13 .

更進一步來說,如第5圖所示,於電流驅動階段,控制電路24可依據負載狀態調整電流源221提供的電流,將電流從一第一電流值IA(實線表示)往上或者往下調整至一第二電流值IB(虛線表示),並維持一時間T,其中時間T是控制電路24之補償電路341依據負載狀態來決定,然後控制電路24可再調整該電流回復至第一電流值IA,如此可更精細地控制電流修正量。具體來說,由較低的第一電流值IA調整至較高的第二電流值IB時,可增加電流的補償量,使該電流往上修正,達到預計的亮度,且搭配時間T的使用,可更精確地掌握像素13之亮度,同理,也可由較高的第一電流值IA調整至較低的第二電流值IB。此方式 也可應用於產生對比灰階的效果。此外,也可於電流驅動階段之起始點,即將電流從第一電流值IA往上或者往下調整至第二電流值IB直至電流驅動階段結束。上述調整方式可以依據負載狀態與使用需求而決定,並非以上述實施例為限。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, in the current driving stage, the control circuit 24 can adjust the current provided by the current source 221 according to the load state, so as to increase or decrease the current from a first current value IA (indicated by the solid line). It is adjusted down to a second current value IB (indicated by the dotted line), and maintained for a time T, wherein the time T is determined by the compensation circuit 341 of the control circuit 24 according to the load state, and then the control circuit 24 can adjust the current to return to the first current value IA, so that the current correction amount can be controlled more finely. Specifically, when adjusting from a lower first current value IA to a higher second current value IB, the compensation amount of the current can be increased, so that the current can be corrected upward to achieve the expected brightness, and the use of time T can be used together. , the brightness of the pixel 13 can be more accurately grasped, and similarly, the higher first current value IA can be adjusted to the lower second current value IB. this way Can also be used to create contrasting grayscale effects. In addition, it is also possible to adjust the current from the first current value IA up or down to the second current value IB at the starting point of the current driving phase until the current driving phase ends. The above-mentioned adjustment method can be determined according to the load state and usage requirements, and is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment.

驅動電路2或3之運作可歸納為一驅動方法4,如第6圖所示。驅動方法4包含以下步驟: The operation of the driving circuit 2 or 3 can be summarized as a driving method 4 , as shown in FIG. 6 . Drive method 4 includes the following steps:

步驟S1:提供一預充電電壓至部分像素。 Step S1 : providing a precharge voltage to some of the pixels.

驅動方法4的詳細說明可以參考上述的段落,例如運用權重資料取得補償量,為了簡潔起見不再贅述。 For the detailed description of the driving method 4, reference may be made to the above paragraphs, for example, the compensation amount is obtained by using the weight data, which will not be repeated for the sake of brevity.

綜上所述,本發明的驅動電路2、3及驅動方法4能依據驅動複數像素13的負載狀態來調整電流源221所輸出的電流,且透過電流的補償來調整複數像素13的亮度,進而達到顯示亮度均勻的效果,如此一來,可以有效地解決因負載差異所造成的亮度不均之情形。 To sum up, the driving circuits 2 , 3 and the driving method 4 of the present invention can adjust the current output by the current source 221 according to the load state of driving the plurality of pixels 13 , and adjust the brightness of the plurality of pixels 13 through the compensation of the current, and further In this way, the uneven brightness caused by the load difference can be effectively solved.
