Description
本揭示文件是關於一種顯示驅動電路以及相關的顯示裝置,特別是關於一種具有高灰階解析度與低接腳數量的顯示驅動電路以及相關顯示裝置。 This disclosure document relates to a display driving circuit and related display devices, in particular to a display driving circuit and related display devices with high grayscale resolution and low pin count.
發光二極體(light emitting diode,LED)顯示器的灰階解析度可使用位元表示,總位元數越高代表LED顯示器的灰階解析度越高,可以呈現的灰階越精細。相反地,總位元數越低代表LED顯示器的灰階解析度越低,進而影響LED顯示器的在灰階顯示上(尤其是低灰階)的鑑別度。 The grayscale resolution of a light emitting diode (LED) display can be expressed in bits. The higher the total number of bits, the higher the grayscale resolution of the LED display, and the finer the grayscale it can present. On the contrary, the lower the total number of bits, the lower the gray-scale resolution of the LED display, which in turn affects the discrimination of the LED display in gray-scale display (especially low gray-scale).
LED顯示器的多個參數:幀率(frame rate)、灰階解析度以及每個掃描晶片驅動的掃描線數量彼此之間是相關聯的。當幀率固定時,若增加每個掃描晶片驅動的掃描線數量,雖可減少晶片數量以節省製造成本,但會縮短掃描線時間(line time)而降低灰階解析度。另一方面,若減少每個掃描晶片驅動的掃描線數量,雖可增加掃描線時間而提升灰階解析度,但會增加製造成本。Multiple parameters of LED displays: frame rate, grayscale resolution, and the number of scan lines driven by each scanning chip are related to each other. When the frame rate is fixed, if the number of scan lines driven by each scanning chip is increased, although the number of chips can be reduced to save manufacturing costs, the scan line time (line time) will be shortened and the grayscale resolution will be reduced. On the other hand, if the number of scan lines driven by each scanning chip is reduced, although the scan line time can be increased and the grayscale resolution can be improved, the manufacturing cost will be increased.
因此,如何兼顧LED顯示器的製造成本與灰階解析度,為本領域之課題。Therefore, how to balance the manufacturing cost and grayscale resolution of LED displays is an issue in this field.
為了解決上述問題,本揭示文件提供一種顯示驅動電路,包含灰階產生電路、脈衝寬度調變(pulse width modulation,PWM)控制電路以及複數個通道驅動電路。灰階產生電路用以依據顯示資料產生原始時脈訊號。PWM控制電路用以依據顯示資料產生至少一第一時脈訊號,其中至少一第一時脈訊號的脈波寬度小於或等於原始時脈訊號的脈波寬度。每個通道驅動電路包含電流源、至少一第一開關電路以及一第二開關電路。電流源用以提供驅動電流。第一開關電路耦接於電流源,用以接收驅動電流,並用以依據至少一第一時脈訊號選擇性導通。第二開關電路透過至少一第一開關電路耦接於電流源,用以依據原始時脈訊號選擇性導通。In order to solve the above problems, this disclosure document provides a display driving circuit, which includes a grayscale generation circuit, a pulse width modulation (pulse width modulation, PWM) control circuit, and a plurality of channel driving circuits. The gray scale generation circuit is used to generate the original clock signal based on the display data. The PWM control circuit is used to generate at least one first clock signal according to the display data, wherein the pulse width of the at least one first clock signal is less than or equal to the pulse width of the original clock signal. Each channel driving circuit includes a current source, at least a first switch circuit and a second switch circuit. The current source is used to provide driving current. The first switch circuit is coupled to the current source for receiving the driving current and for selectively conducting according to at least one first clock signal. The second switch circuit is coupled to the current source through at least one first switch circuit for selectively conducting according to the original clock signal.

The display driving circuit includes a gray scale generation circuit, a PWM control circuit and a plurality of channel driving circuits. The gray scale generation circuit is used to generate the original clock signal based on the display data.

The second switch circuit is coupled to the current source through at least one first switch circuit for selectively conducting according to the original clock signal. Each pixel is coupled to the display driving circuit through one of the plurality of data lines to receive driving current.
上述顯示驅動電路以及顯示裝置的優點,在於可以提高灰階位元數較低的LED顯示器的解析度,進而改善在低灰階時辨識度偏低的問題。此外,也可以縮小或調整不同灰階之間的差異級距。The advantage of the above-mentioned display driving circuit and display device is that it can improve the resolution of LED displays with low grayscale bits, thereby improving the problem of low recognition at low grayscales. In addition, you can also reduce or adjust the difference between different gray levels.

第1圖為根據一些實施例所繪示的顯示裝置1簡化後的功能方塊圖。顯示裝置1包含顯示驅動電路10、掃描開關電路12、畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]、M條掃描線SL[1]~SL[M]以及N條資料線DL[1]~DL[N],其中M、N是大於1的整數。Figure 1 is a simplified functional block diagram of a
在結構上,在一實施例中,每個畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]以一個發光二極體來實現,每一列(row)的N個二極體的陽極電性連接掃描線SL[1]~SL[M]的其中之一,每一行(column)的M個二極體的陰極電性連接資料線DL[1]~DL[N]的其中之一。畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]透過掃描線SL[1]~SL[M]耦接於掃描開關電路12,並透過資料線DL[1]~DL[N]耦接於顯示驅動電路10。顯示驅動電路10用於提供驅動電流至資料線DL[1]~DL[N]。掃描開關電路12用於選擇畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]中欲發光的列,其中畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]產生的亮度對應於接收到的驅動電流大小。Structurally, in one embodiment, each pixel unit P[11]~P[MN] is implemented with a light-emitting diode, and the anodes of the N diodes in each row are electrically connected and scanned. One of the lines SL[1]~SL[M], the cathodes of the M diodes in each row (column) are electrically connected to one of the data lines DL[1]~DL[N]. The pixel units P[11]~P[MN] are coupled to the
第2圖為根據一些實施例所繪示的顯示驅動電路20的示意圖,其中顯示驅動電路20可用於實現第1圖的顯示驅動電路10。顯示驅動電路20包含灰階產生電路200以及多個通道驅動電路210_1~210_N。灰階產生電路200根據顯示資料Data,產生並調整多個原始時脈訊號Gray0_1~Gray0_N,並將原始時脈訊號Gray0_1~Gray0_N分別傳送至通道驅動電路210_1~210_N。通道驅動電路210_1~210_N依據原始時脈訊號Gray0_1~Gray0_N,選擇性地提供驅動電流至資料線DL[1]~DL[N]。若顯示裝置1採用第2圖的顯示驅動電路20做為顯示驅動電路10,則顯示裝置1可能具有較低灰階解析度,或者可能較難點亮畫素單元P[11]~P[MN]。為說明這些問題,以下將配合第2、3A和3B圖說明顯示驅動電路20的運作。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a
請先參考第2圖,通道驅動電路210_1~210_N彼此具有相似的元件、連接關係以及運作,為簡潔起見,以下僅說明通道驅動電路210_1。在一些實施例中,通道驅動電路210_1包含電流源106以及第二開關電路SW2。電流源106的一端耦接至接地電源GND,另一端耦接至第二開關電路SW2的一端。第二開關電路SW2的一端耦接至電流源106,另一端耦接至資料線DL[1],且控制端耦接至灰階產生電路200,用以從灰階產生電路200接收原始時脈訊號Gray0_1,藉此選擇性導通。
Please refer to Figure 2 first. The channel driving circuits 210_1~210_N have similar components, connection relationships and operations. For the sake of simplicity, only the channel driving circuit 210_1 will be described below. In some embodiments, the channel driving circuit 210_1 includes the
電流源106用以透過第二開關電路SW2提供驅動電流至資料線DL[1],例如從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流。在一實施例中,當SL[1]上有掃描電壓,且電流源106從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流時,畫素單元P[11]會產生特定灰階的亮度。在一實施例中,當SL[2]上有掃描電壓,且電流源106從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流時,畫素單元P[21]會產生特定灰階的亮度。
The
請參照第3A和3B圖。第3A圖為根據第2圖的實施例所繪製的顯示裝置1的子幀(subframe)示意圖。第3B圖為根據第2圖的實施例所繪製的顯示驅動電路20的時序圖。舉例而言,當顯示裝置1的幀率(frame rate)為60Hz,一幀具有64個子幀,掃描線群組數量為53時,可以推算顯示裝置1的掃描線時間(line time)為1/(60×64×53)秒,即約為4.91微秒。在一實施例中,第1圖的掃描開關電路12包含多個掃描晶片,每個掃描晶片用於驅動預定數量的掃描線,而掃描線群組數量指的是前述預定數量的掃描線。假設LED點亮前與熄滅後的空滯時間(即dead time與dummy time)總和為2.4微秒,則可以推算LED的致能時間為4.91-2.4=2.51微秒。當顯示裝置1的灰階位元(bit)數為13位元(以下稱作為「13位元/53掃」),代表在一幀對應於2的13次方(即8192)個全域時脈訊號的週期,代表一個子幀當中具有8192/64=128個全域時脈訊號的週期。因此,可以計算出全域時脈訊號的頻率須至少為1/(2.51×10
-6/128)Hz,即為約50MHz。在一實施例中,全域時脈訊號指的是整個積體電路之中,所有時脈訊號所參考的時脈訊號。舉例而言,若要使第2圖中的通道驅動電路210_1提供對應於灰階值為1的驅動電流至資料線DL[1],則原始時脈訊號Gray0_1的致能時間等於一個全域時脈訊號的週期。若要使第2圖中的通道驅動電路210_1提供對應於灰階值為2的驅動電流至資料線DL[1],則原始時脈訊號Gray0_1的致能時間等於兩個全域時脈訊號的週期,以此類推。
Please refer to Figures 3A and 3B. FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of a subframe of the
同理,當顯示裝置1的其他參數維持不變,灰階位元數改變為16位元時,可以計算出全域時脈訊號的頻率須至少為407MHz。在現今技術中,為了給予LED充足的導通時間以完全點亮LED,適當的全域時脈訊號的頻率為100MHz以下,因此407MHz的全域時脈訊號對於LED來說過快。若欲保持灰階位元數為16位元,則在全域時脈訊號的頻率不超過100MHz之情況下,需將掃描線群組數量變更為20(以下稱作為「16位元/20掃」)。然而,16位元/20掃之設置將導致需要使用較多顆晶片來製造掃描開關電路12,不利於製造成本。Similarly, when other parameters of the
第4圖的顯示驅動電路40能使顯示裝置1使用較低頻率的全域時脈訊號與較少的晶片數量(例如與13位元/53掃相同頻率之全域時脈訊號與相同數量的掃描開關電路12的晶片),實現16位元之解析度。The
第4圖為根據一些實施例所繪示的顯示驅動電路40的示意圖。顯示驅動電路40可用於實現第1圖的顯示驅動電路10。顯示驅動電路40包含灰階產生電路400、PWM控制電路402以及多個通道驅動電路410_1~410_N。PWM控制電路402根據顯示資料Data,產生並調整多個第一時脈訊號PWM1_1~PWM1_N,並將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1~PWM1_N分別傳送至通道驅動電路410_1~410_N。在一些實施例中,第一時脈訊號PWM1_1~PWM1_N的脈波寬度等於或小於原始時脈訊號Gray0_1~Gray0_N的脈波寬度。通道驅動電路410_1~410_N依據原始時脈訊號Gray0_1~Gray0_N以及第一時脈訊號PWM1_1~PWM1_N後,選擇性地提供驅動電流至資料線DL[1]~DL[N]。本揭示文件以下的多個實施例將以通道驅動電路410_1為例進行說明,其餘通道驅動電路410_2~410_N的元件、連接關係以及運作皆相似於通道驅動電路410_1,為簡潔起見,相關內容將不重複贅述。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a
在一些實施例中,通道驅動電路410_1包含電流源106、第一開關電路SW1以及第二開關電路SW2。第一開關電路SW1的一端耦接至電流源106,另一端耦接至第二開關電路SW2,且控制端耦接至PWM控制電路402,用以從PWM控制電路402接收第一時脈訊號PWM1_1,藉此選擇性導通。In some embodiments, the channel driving circuit 410_1 includes a
第二開關電路SW2的一端耦接至第一開關電路SW1,另一端耦接至資料線DL[1],且控制端耦接至灰階產生電路400,用以從灰階產生電路400接收原始時脈訊號Gray0_1,藉此選擇性導通。One end of the second switch circuit SW2 is coupled to the first switch circuit SW1, the other end is coupled to the data line DL[1], and the control end is coupled to the gray
電流源106用以透過第一開關電路SW1以及第二開關電路SW2提供驅動電流至資料線DL[1],例如從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流。在一實施例中,當SL[1]上有掃描電壓,且電流源106從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流時,畫素單元P[11]會產生特定灰階的亮度。在一實施例中,當SL[2]上有掃描電壓,且電流源106從資料線DL[1]抽取驅動電流時,畫素單元P[21]會產生特定灰階的亮度。The

在灰階產生電路400將原始時脈訊號Gray0_1傳送至第二開關電路SW2時,PWM控制電路402同時將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1傳送至第一開關電路SW1。電流源106僅能在第一開關電路SW1以及第二開關電路SW2同時致能時傳送驅動電流。因此,藉由調整第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的脈波寬度,可以控制通道驅動電路410_1所輸出的驅動電流的脈波寬度。在第5A圖的實施例中,若將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的負載比設定至50%,則驅動電流的脈波寬度可以縮短至與週期T
16(亦即0.5倍週期T
13)相同,達到本揭示文件所述之優勢。

相似地,針對輸出灰階值為2的時脈,可以在第一個全域時脈訊號(GCLK)時將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的負載比設定至50%,在第二個全域時脈訊號時將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的負載比設定至50%,則灰階值2的驅動電流具有兩個0.5倍週期T
13的脈波。
Similarly, for a clock with an output grayscale value of 2, the duty ratio of the first clock signal PWM1_1 can be set to 50% at the first global clock signal (GCLK), and at the second global clock signal When the duty ratio of the first clock signal PWM1_1 is set to 50%, the driving current of
在一些實施例中,透過本揭示文件的顯示驅動電路40,也可以縮小或調整不同灰階之間的差異級距。請一併參照第5B圖,針對輸出灰階值為2的時脈,若在第一個全域時脈訊號(GCLK)時將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的負載比設定至30%,在第二個全域時脈訊號時將第一時脈訊號PWM1_1的負載比設定至50%,則灰階值2的驅動電流之脈波寬度總和為前一實施例的80%(0.3倍週期T
13和0.5倍週期T
13),進一步減小灰階值1以及灰階值2之間的亮度差異。

在操作上,根據開關訊號控制電路608產生的第一控制訊號SS1_11、SS1_12以及第二控制訊號SS2_1的時序,可以決定第一開關電路SW1_1、SW1_2以及第三開關電路SW3的致能順序以及時間。換句話說,根據第一時脈訊號PWM1_11、PWM1_12、第二時脈訊號PWM2_1、第一控制訊號SS1_11、SS1_12以及第二控制訊號SS2_1,可以控制電流源106提供驅動電流的時序,亦即可以控制通道驅動電路610_1所輸出的時脈訊號的負載比。In operation, the enabling sequence and time of the first switch circuits SW1_1, SW1_2 and the third switch circuit SW3 can be determined according to the timing of the first control signals SS1_11, SS1_12 and the second control signal SS2_1 generated by the switch
第7圖為根據第6圖的實施例所繪示的顯示驅動電路60的時序圖。在第7圖中,相似於前述第5B圖的實施例,為了輸出灰階值2的驅動電流,可以利用負載比為30%的第一時脈訊號PWM1_11與負載比為50%的第一時脈訊號PWM1_12。在操作上,在第一控制訊號SS1_11為邏輯高時,第一開關電路SW1_1會被致能,使驅動電流的脈波為0.3個週期T
13;在第一控制訊號SS1_12為邏輯高時,第一開關電路SW1_2會被致能,使驅動電流的脈波為0.5個週期T
13;在第二控制訊號SS2_1為邏輯高時,第三開關電路SW3會被致能,但由於原始時脈訊號Gray0_1此時為邏輯低,因此通道驅動電路610_1不會輸出驅動電流。
