圖1繪示本發明一實施例的一種驅動電路100的示意圖。於圖1所示實施例中,驅動電路100包括驅動電晶體M1、驅動訊號產生器110以及控制電路120。在本實施例中,驅動訊號產生器110耦接至驅動電晶體M1與控制電路120,驅動電晶體M1耦接至發光元件L1。其中,驅動電晶體M1用以驅動發光元件L1。依照設計需求,發光元件L1可以例如是有機發光二極體(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)、微型發光二極體(Micro LED)或其他任意形式的發光二極體,本實施例並不設限。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a driving circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the driving circuit 100 includes a driving transistor M1 , a driving signal generator 110 and a control circuit 120 . In this embodiment, the driving signal generator 110 is coupled to the driving transistor M1 and the control circuit 120, and the driving transistor M1 is coupled to the light emitting element L1. Wherein, the driving transistor M1 is used to drive the light emitting element L1. According to design requirements, the light emitting element L1 can be, for example, an organic light emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED), a micro light emitting diode (Micro LED) or any other form of light emitting diode, which is not limited in this embodiment. .

圖2繪示本發明一實施例的一種驅動方法的流程示意圖。圖1所示驅動電路100、圖4所示顯示裝置400、圖5所示顯示裝置500以及(或是)圖6所示顯示裝置600可以參照圖2的相關說明。請同時參照圖1與圖2。在步驟S210中,驅動訊號產生器110可以接收掃頻訊號Vsweep與資料電壓Vdata,並比較掃頻訊號Vsweep與資料電壓Vdata以產生驅動訊號DS。其中掃頻訊號Vsweep與資料電壓Vdata可以由控制電路120或是其他訊號產生器(未繪示)所產生,本實施例並不設限。FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the driving circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the display device 400 shown in FIG. 4 , the display device 500 shown in FIG. 5 , and (or) the display device 600 shown in FIG. 6 , reference may be made to the related description of FIG. 2 . Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 at the same time. In step S210 , the driving signal generator 110 can receive the sweep signal Vsweep and the data voltage Vdata, and compare the sweep signal Vsweep and the data voltage Vdata to generate the driving signal DS. The frequency sweep signal Vsweep and the data voltage Vdata can be generated by the control circuit 120 or other signal generators (not shown), which are not limited in this embodiment.

在步驟S220中,驅動電路100可以依據驅動訊號DS控制驅動電晶體M1的導通狀態,進而控制發光元件L1的發光期間。依照實際應用,在一些實施例中,掃頻訊號Vsweep可以包括斜坡訊號。驅動訊號產生器110可以包括脈衝寬度調變(Pulse Width Modulation,PWM)訊號產生器,以輸出PWM形式的驅動訊號DS。例如,在一些實施例中,掃頻訊號Vsweep可以具有初始位準(與資料電壓Vdata的電壓值不同)並在一定期間內持續降低(或升高)其電壓值。當掃頻訊號Vsweep的電壓值低於(或高於)資料電壓Vdata的電壓值時,驅動訊號產生器110可以產生驅動訊號DS導通驅動電晶體M1,以驅動發光元件L1開始發光。相對地,當掃頻訊號Vsweep的電壓值不低於(或不高於)資料電壓Vdata的電壓值時,驅動訊號產生器110可以不產生驅動訊號DS,此時驅動電晶體M1截止,發光元件L1不發光。如此一來,驅動訊號產生器110可以依據掃頻訊號Vsweep與資料電壓Vdata來控制發光元件L1的發光期間。In step S220, the driving circuit 100 can control the conduction state of the driving transistor M1 according to the driving signal DS, thereby controlling the light-emitting period of the light-emitting element L1. According to practical applications, in some embodiments, the frequency sweep signal Vsweep may include a ramp signal. The driving signal generator 110 may include a pulse width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM) signal generator to output the driving signal DS in the form of PWM. For example, in some embodiments, the frequency sweep signal Vsweep may have an initial level (different from the voltage value of the data voltage Vdata) and continuously decrease (or increase) its voltage value within a certain period of time. When the voltage value of the sweep signal Vsweep is lower than (or higher than) the voltage value of the data voltage Vdata, the driving signal generator 110 can generate the driving signal DS to turn on the driving transistor M1 to drive the light emitting element L1 to start emitting light. Relatively, when the voltage value of the frequency sweep signal Vsweep is not lower than (or not higher than) the voltage value of the data voltage Vdata, the driving signal generator 110 may not generate the driving signal DS, and the driving transistor M1 is turned off at this time, and the light-emitting element L1 does not emit light. In this way, the driving signal generator 110 can control the light-emitting period of the light-emitting element L1 according to the sweep signal Vsweep and the data voltage Vdata.

在步驟S230中,控制電路120可以依據驅動訊號DS的訊號寬度以調整資料電壓Vdata。舉例而言,圖3繪示本發明一實施例的一種驅動電路100的動作波形圖。請參照圖1至圖3。於圖3所示實施例中,假設掃頻訊號Vsweep具有初始位準Vsi(在本實施例中初始位準Vsi大於資料電壓Vdata)且在理想的情況下,掃頻訊號Vsweep的電壓變化如波形301所示,並假設資料電壓Vdata的電壓值為Vd1。則圖1所示的驅動訊號產生器110可以在比較波形301與電壓值Vd1後產生驅動訊號D1,其中驅動訊號D1的訊號寬度為T,即驅動訊號DS的理想寬度(預期寬度)。在本實施例中,再假設掃頻訊號Vsweep在發生波形失真後的電壓變化如波形302所示。則在資料電壓Vdata維持電壓值Vd1不變的情況下,驅動訊號產生器110在比較波形302與電壓值Vd1後會產生驅動訊號D2,其中驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度為N。In step S230, the control circuit 120 can adjust the data voltage Vdata according to the signal width of the driving signal DS. For example, FIG. 3 shows an action waveform diagram of a driving circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , it is assumed that the frequency sweep signal Vsweep has an initial level Vsi (in this embodiment, the initial level Vsi is greater than the data voltage Vdata) and under ideal conditions, the voltage change of the frequency sweep signal Vsweep is as waveform 301 , and assume that the voltage value of the data voltage Vdata is Vd1. Then the driving signal generator 110 shown in FIG. 1 can generate the driving signal D1 after comparing the waveform 301 with the voltage value Vd1, wherein the signal width of the driving signal D1 is T, which is the ideal width (expected width) of the driving signal DS. In this embodiment, it is further assumed that the voltage change of the sweep signal Vsweep after the waveform distortion occurs is as shown in the waveform 302 . Then, when the data voltage Vdata keeps the voltage value Vd1 unchanged, the driving signal generator 110 generates the driving signal D2 after comparing the waveform 302 with the voltage value Vd1, wherein the signal width of the driving signal D2 is N.

詳細而言,在本實施例中,當掃頻訊號Vsweep發生如波形302所示的波形失真,導致驅動訊號產生器110實際輸出的驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度N不等於理想寬度T時,會使驅動電晶體M1的實際導通時間不符預期,進而影響到發光元件M1的發光時間,例如可能造成發光期間太短或亮度不均或其他問題。在此情況下,控制電路120可以接收驅動訊號D2,並依據驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度T來調整資料電壓Vdata的電壓值Vd1,進而使驅動訊號產生器110可以輸出具有理想寬度T的驅動訊號DS。In detail, in this embodiment, when the waveform distortion shown in the waveform 302 occurs in the frequency sweep signal Vsweep, resulting in that the signal width N of the driving signal D2 actually output by the driving signal generator 110 is not equal to the ideal width T, it will cause The actual turn-on time of the driving transistor M1 is not as expected, thereby affecting the light-emitting time of the light-emitting element M1, for example, may cause too short a light-emitting period or uneven brightness or other problems. In this case, the control circuit 120 can receive the driving signal D2, and adjust the voltage value Vd1 of the data voltage Vdata according to the signal width T of the driving signal D2, so that the driving signal generator 110 can output the driving signal DS with an ideal width T. .

舉例而言,在一些實施例中,控制電路120可以依據資料電壓Vdata產生理想寬度T,並偵測驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度N。例如,在圖3實施例中,控制電路120可以依據時脈訊號CLK取樣驅動訊號D2,以依據脈波數CNT偵測出驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度N。其中,時脈信號CLK的頻率大於驅動訊號D2的頻率。在一些實施例中,控制電路120可以計算理想寬度T與訊號寬度N的寬度差,並依據寬度差以獲得資料電壓Vdata的調整值Vcomp,再依據調整值Vcomp調整資料電壓Vdata。例如,在本實施例中,控制電路120可以將資料電壓Vdata由電壓值Vd1調整至電壓值Vd2(在本實施例中Vd2=Vd1+Vcomp),使驅動訊號產生器110在比較波形302與調整後的資料電壓Vdata的電壓值Vd2後產生的驅動訊號DS具有理想寬度T的訊號寬度。For example, in some embodiments, the control circuit 120 can generate the ideal width T according to the data voltage Vdata, and detect the signal width N of the driving signal D2. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the control circuit 120 can sample the driving signal D2 according to the clock signal CLK, so as to detect the signal width N of the driving signal D2 according to the pulse number CNT. Wherein, the frequency of the clock signal CLK is greater than the frequency of the driving signal D2. In some embodiments, the control circuit 120 can calculate the width difference between the ideal width T and the signal width N, and obtain the adjustment value Vcomp of the data voltage Vdata according to the width difference, and then adjust the data voltage Vdata according to the adjustment value Vcomp. For example, in this embodiment, the control circuit 120 can adjust the data voltage Vdata from the voltage value Vd1 to the voltage value Vd2 (in this embodiment, Vd2=Vd1+Vcomp), so that the driving signal generator 110 compares the waveform 302 with the adjusted The driving signal DS generated after the voltage value Vd2 of the data voltage Vdata has a signal width of an ideal width T.

其中關於調整值Vcomp的計算方式,在一些實施例中,控制電路120可以依據理想寬度T與驅動訊號D2的訊號寬度N的寬度差以及預先設置的失真參數

Figure 02_image001
來獲得調整值Vcomp。舉例而言,在一些實施例中,可以參照下列數學關係式來計算資料電壓Vdata的調整值Vcomp:
Figure 02_image003
Figure 02_image005
其中電壓值VL’表示掃頻訊號Vsweep在發生波形失真後的電壓下降值(在本實施例中
Figure 02_image007
)。失真參數
Figure 02_image001
可以相關於掃頻訊號Vsweep(例如波形302)的斜率與標準值(例如波形301的斜率)間的誤差。在一些實施例中,可以預先設置失真參數
Figure 02_image001
的初始值再透過實驗進行調整或建立查找表,或者可以依據掃頻訊號Vsweep的實際失真情況動態調整失真參數
Figure 02_image001
。舉例而言,假設在解析度為8K4K(即7680*4320畫素)的顯示面板中,其中一個驅動訊號產生器對應接收的Vsi定義為10位元(bit)資料的最大值1023、輸入影像的資料Vdata為512,其產生的驅動訊號的理想寬度T為5120個時脈週期(clock cycle)、實際輸出的訊號寬度N為5000個時脈週期,以及失真參數
Figure 02_image001
設定為0.9。則資料Vdata的補償值Vcomp為
Figure 02_image009
,即資料Vdata可以由512調整為522(即512+10),使該驅動訊號產生器可以穩定輸出具有理想寬度T的驅動訊號。 Regarding the calculation method of the adjustment value Vcomp, in some embodiments, the control circuit 120 can be based on the width difference between the ideal width T and the signal width N of the driving signal D2 and the preset distortion parameters
Figure 02_image001
to obtain the adjustment value Vcomp. For example, in some embodiments, the adjustment value Vcomp of the data voltage Vdata can be calculated with reference to the following mathematical relationship:
Figure 02_image003
Figure 02_image005
The voltage value VL' represents the voltage drop value of the sweep signal Vsweep after waveform distortion occurs (in this embodiment
Figure 02_image007
). Distortion parameters
Figure 02_image001
It can be related to the error between the slope of the sweep signal Vsweep (such as the waveform 302 ) and the standard value (such as the slope of the waveform 301 ). In some embodiments, distortion parameters can be preset
Figure 02_image001
The initial value can be adjusted through experiments or a look-up table can be established, or the distortion parameters can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual distortion of the sweep signal Vsweep
Figure 02_image001
. For example, suppose that in a display panel with a resolution of 8K4K (that is, 7680*4320 pixels), one of the drive signal generators is defined as the maximum value of 1023 for 10-bit (bit) data and 1023 for the input image. The data Vdata is 512, the ideal width T of the driving signal generated by it is 5120 clock cycles (clock cycle), the actual output signal width N is 5000 clock cycles, and the distortion parameters
Figure 02_image001
Set to 0.9. Then the compensation value Vcomp of the data Vdata is
Figure 02_image009
, that is, the data Vdata can be adjusted from 512 to 522 (ie, 512+10), so that the driving signal generator can stably output a driving signal with an ideal width T.

依照實際應用需求,在一些實施例中,控制電路120可以具有存儲器(未繪示),以儲存失真參數

Figure 02_image001
、調整後的資料電壓Vdata以及(或是)調整值Vcomp。此外,在一些實施例中,控制電路120可以重複執行上述圖2所示的步驟S210~S230,直到資料電壓Vdata在調整前後的調整值Vcomp小於預先定義的電壓閾值,或驅動訊號DS的訊號寬度N與理想寬度T的寬度差小於預先定義的寬度閾值,以結束上述步驟。在一些實施例中,控制電路100可以透過顯示器、揚聲器或其他輸出設備(未繪示)來輸出調整結果。 According to actual application requirements, in some embodiments, the control circuit 120 may have a memory (not shown) to store distortion parameters

, the adjusted data voltage Vdata and (or) the adjusted value Vcomp. In addition, in some embodiments, the control circuit 120 may repeatedly execute the above-mentioned steps S210-S230 shown in FIG. 2 until the adjustment value Vcomp of the data voltage Vdata before and after adjustment is smaller than a predefined voltage threshold or the signal width of the driving signal DS The width difference between N and the ideal width T is smaller than a predefined width threshold, so as to end the above steps. In some embodiments, the control circuit 100 can output the adjustment result through a display, a speaker or other output devices (not shown).

在本實施例中,控制電路420可以產生掃頻訊號Vsweep以及資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan,並分別依據驅動訊號產生器430_1~430_n產生的驅動訊號DS1~DSn的訊號寬度以調整對應的資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan。在一些實施例中,控制電路420可以使用時序控制器(Timing Controller)來實現。依照設計需求,在一些實施例中,顯示裝置400還可以包括位準移位器440_1~440_n分別對應耦接在驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n與控制電路420之間,用以調整驅動訊號DS1~DSn的電壓值。In this embodiment, the control circuit 420 can generate the frequency sweep signal Vsweep and the data voltages Vdata1˜Vdatan, and adjust the corresponding data voltages Vdata1˜Vdatan according to the signal widths of the driving signals DS1˜DSn generated by the driving signal generators 430_1˜430_n respectively. Vdatan. In some embodiments, the control circuit 420 may be implemented using a timing controller (Timing Controller). According to design requirements, in some embodiments, the display device 400 may further include level shifters 440_1˜440_n respectively coupled between the driving signal generators 410_1˜410_n and the control circuit 420 to adjust the driving signals DS1˜ DSn voltage value.

在此須說明的是,在本實施例中,顯示裝置400具有電阻R1~Rn以示意掃頻訊號Vsweep在訊號傳遞的過程中所受到的電路影響。詳細而言,在掃頻訊號Vsweep經過電阻R1~Rn中的一個或多個影響後,驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n實際接收到的掃頻訊號Vsweep1~Vsweepn可能會產生不同程度的波形失真。例如在本實施例中,與控制電路420距離越遠(經過的電阻R1~Rn越多)的驅動訊號產生器410_n所接收到的掃頻訊號Vsweepn(相較於與控制電路420距離較近的驅動訊號產生器410_1所接收到的掃頻訊號Vsweep1)的波形失真程度可能會越大。因此,在一些實施例中,控制電路420可以依據掃頻訊號Vsweep1~Vsweepn的實際失真程度或驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n的分布位置來設定失真參數,或者也可以依據部分已知的失真參數與驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n的相對位置,來推算掃頻訊號Vsweep1~Vsweepn所對應的失真參數,以調整對應的資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan。其中關於資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan的調整方式可以參照前述關於圖3的相關說明來類推,於此不再贅述。It should be noted here that, in this embodiment, the display device 400 has resistors R1 ˜ Rn to indicate the influence of the circuit on the sweep signal Vsweep during signal transmission. In detail, after the frequency sweep signal Vsweep is affected by one or more of the resistors R1 ˜ Rn, the frequency sweep signals Vsweep1 ˜ Vsweepn actually received by the driving signal generators 410_1 ˜ 410 — n may have different degrees of waveform distortion. For example, in this embodiment, the sweeping signal Vsweepn received by the driving signal generator 410_n that is farther away from the control circuit 420 (the more resistors R1-Rn pass through) (compared with the one that is closer to the control circuit 420 The degree of waveform distortion of the sweep signal Vsweep1) received by the driving signal generator 410_1 may be greater. Therefore, in some embodiments, the control circuit 420 can set the distortion parameters according to the actual distortion levels of the sweeping signals Vsweep1-Vsweepn or the distribution positions of the driving signal generators 410_1-410_n, or can also set the distortion parameters according to some known distortion parameters and The relative positions of the driving signal generators 410_1˜410_n are used to estimate the distortion parameters corresponding to the sweeping signals Vsweep1˜Vsweepn, so as to adjust the corresponding data voltages Vdata1˜Vdatan. The adjustment method of the data voltages Vdata1 -Vdatan can be deduced by referring to the related description of FIG. 3 , and will not be repeated here.

在本實施例中,控制電路420可以接收全部的驅動訊號DS1~DSn,以調整對應的資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan。在其他實施例中,控制電路420也可以僅接收部分的驅動訊號DS1~DSn。例如,依照實際應用需求,驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n可以分為多個群組,控制電路420可以接收對應各群組的驅動訊號DS1~DSn的其中之一,以做為各群組的代表驅動訊號。例如,可以依據像素電路430_1~430_n中具有不同波長(例如紅、綠、藍(RGB)或其他波長)的子像素(sub-pixel)來分組,或者可以依據驅動訊號產生器410_1~410_n的分布位置或是其他方式來分組。如此一來,控制電路420可以依據各群組的驅動訊號DS1~DSn的其中之一或其中多個來調整各群組對應的資料電壓Vdata1~Vdatan。In this embodiment, the control circuit 420 can receive all the driving signals DS1 - DSn to adjust the corresponding data voltages Vdata1 - Vdatan. In other embodiments, the control circuit 420 may also only receive part of the driving signals DS1˜DSn. For example, according to actual application requirements, the driving signal generators 410_1-410_n can be divided into multiple groups, and the control circuit 420 can receive one of the driving signals DS1-DSn corresponding to each group as a representative of each group. drive signal. For example, they can be grouped according to sub-pixels with different wavelengths (such as red, green, blue (RGB) or other wavelengths) in the pixel circuits 430_1-430_n, or can be grouped according to the distribution of the driving signal generators 410_1-410_n position or in other ways. In this way, the control circuit 420 can adjust the corresponding data voltages Vdata1-Vdatan of each group according to one or more of the driving signals DS1-DSn of each group.

For example, in this embodiment, the logic gate G1 may be an OR logic gate.
