- a method for gradually increasing the potential of the image signal line 14 will be described.
- the necessity to raise in steps is that the determination of the potential of the image signal line 14 necessary to avoid the occurrence of an overcurrent in the light emission control power supply (VDD) takes into account the temperature characteristics and fluctuations in the characteristics of the drive transistor Td. Although necessary, it is difficult to obtain these factors in advance. As a result, the overcurrent can be suppressed by setting the potential of the image signal line 14 step by step and maintaining the state from the GND level to the high potential (VdH).
- the electric resistance of the drive transistor Td increases, and the current flowing through the first power supply line 11 and the second power supply line 12 gradually decreases. can do. If the potential of the image signal line 14 is not gradually lowered, an inductance component existing in the first power supply line 11 and the second power supply line 12 tends to keep current flowing between them. The drain of the driving transistor T d - large induced voltage due to the inductance component between the source will can take, adversely affects the life of the driving transistor T d. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, by gradually lowering the potential of the image signal line 14, the induced voltage can be reduced, and the product life of the drive transistor Td can be extended.
- Timing Controller 1 ⁇ Configuration and Function of Timing Controller 1> Next, the configuration and function of the timing controller 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
- the timing controller 1 includes a signal generation unit 21, a control unit 23, a counter 25, a calculation unit 27, and a selector 29.
- the timing controller 1 receives the above-described three types of light emission control power supplies (VDD, ⁇ VE, VdH) and image data (Xdata0).
- the signal generation unit 21 generates a logic signal (Ctrl_P, Ctrl_N) necessary for generating a potential waveform, a logic signal (HSYNC) required for image display synchronization control, and a clock signal (XCLK, YCLK) also required for synchronization control. And output. Further, the signal generator 21 controls the output timing of the input image data (Xdata0).
- the control unit 23 determines and outputs an applied potential (OUT_P) to the first power supply line 11 based on the input logic signal (Ctrl_P) from the signal generation unit 21. Further, the control unit 23 determines and outputs an applied potential (OUT_N) to the second power supply line 12 based on the input logic signal (Ctrl_N) from the signal generation unit 21.
- the applied potential (OUT_P) output from the control unit 23 corresponds to the applied potential to the first power supply line 11 in the sequence diagram of FIG. 3, and the applied potential (OUT_N) is the second power supply in the sequence diagram of FIG. This corresponds to the potential applied to the line 12.
- the counter 25 outputs a count value (COUNT) obtained by counting the input logic signal (HSYNC) to the arithmetic unit 27 and the selector 29. Note that the count value counted by the counter 25 is cleared by the control signal (CLR) output from the control unit 23, and then the counting process is performed again.
- the calculation unit 27 calculates corrected image data obtained by correcting the image data from the signal generation unit 21 based on the count value from the counter 25 and outputs the corrected image data to the selector 29.
- the selector 29 selects one of the image data input from the signal generation unit 21 and the corrected image data input from the calculation unit 27 based on the count value from the counter 25 and selects the X driver 22. Output to. That is, the selector 29 performs a process of selecting one of the image data and the corrected image data.
- control unit 23, the counter 25, the calculation unit 27, and the selector 29 are components corresponding to the image data generation unit in the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a program code for realizing the function of the timing controller 1 described above.
- a program code for performing light emission control immediately after the start of light emission is illustrated. Note that the program code for performing the light emission control immediately before the light emission stop can also be described according to FIG.
- step S4 it is determined whether or not the count value of the counter 25 has reached a predetermined value (N) (step S4). If the count value does not reach the predetermined value (N), the counter count process proceeds (step S5). Further, the image data input from the signal generation unit 21 is multiplied by a count value (COUNT) and a predetermined coefficient (A), respectively, and the multiplied value is output as the corrected image data corrected (steps S6 and S7). .
- COUNT count value
- A predetermined coefficient
- step S6 and S8 the image data input from the signal generator 21 is output. That is, in the processing of steps S6 to S8, if the count value does not reach the predetermined value (N), a value proportional to the count value is set as the corrected image data, and the count value has reached the predetermined value (N). In this case, the input image data is set.
- control at the start of light emission has been described, but the same applies to the control at the time of light emission stop. Although a detailed description is omitted, the following control is performed generally.
- the applied potentials are the first power supply line 11 and the second power supply line 12, respectively. To be applied.
- a process of counting down the count value of the counter 25 is performed. Further, it is determined whether or not the counted value has reached a predetermined value (M and M are positive integers satisfying M ⁇ N).
- the count value does not reach the predetermined value (M)
- the count value (COUNT) and a predetermined coefficient (B, which is the same value as the coefficient A) are added to the image data input from the signal generation unit 21. Or different values) are output as corrected image data. If the count value has reached the predetermined value (M), the operation during the light emission period ends.
- the processing flow shown in FIG. 5 has been described as a program code for realizing the function of the timing controller 1 as software processing. However, hardware processing based on each functional block as shown in FIG. Good.
- the “rise time” of the image data potential means that the potential of the image signal line 14 reaches the level of the high potential (VdH) as the second potential from the GND potential as the first potential in the control period at the start of light emission. Is the time. This time can also be regarded as a period during which the image data input via the timing controller 1 is processed into corrected image data. Note that this start-up time is preferably about 300 ⁇ s, for example, about 100 ⁇ s in the case of an image display device having the above specifications, for example, from the viewpoint of securing a light emission period sufficient to emit light with desired luminance. Further preferred.
- the rise time is a period in which the light emission control for each pixel circuit is performed simultaneously in all the pixel circuits, and the load peak is concentrated. Therefore, the potential of the image signal line 14 as described above is set. By performing control to gradually increase from the GND level to the high potential (VdH), it is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply capacity of the power supply device.
- the “falling time” of the image data potential is the time until the potential of the image signal line 14 reaches the level of the GND potential from the high potential (VdH) in the control period when the light emission is stopped. This time can also be regarded as a period during which the image data input via the timing controller 1 is processed into corrected image data.
- the fall time is about 0.5 to 1 ms in consideration of characteristics of a general image display device.
- the preferable value of the fall time is different from the preferred value of the rise time due to the characteristics of a power supply circuit used in a general image display device.
- a booster circuit that generates a voltage of about 15 V to a voltage of about 15 V is used, and a stable output is obtained by feeding back the output.
- the time until the voltage fluctuation that has risen due to the load fluctuation returns to the stable output voltage by the feedback function is an indication of the time for controlling the image data potential. This time is approximately 0.5 to 1 ms, although it depends on the switching frequency and the feedback method.
- the time for returning to a stable voltage is shorter in the former when the voltage fluctuation that has fallen due to the load fluctuation is restored and when the voltage fluctuation that is raised due to the load fluctuation is restored. This is because of the characteristics of the booster circuit (high boosting capability and low bucking capability). Therefore, the voltage recovery period is shorter in the control period at the start of light emission than in the control period at the time when light emission is stopped.
- the ratio of (rise time + fall time) to the light emission period is (300 + 1000).
- about 93% of the period during which the potential corresponding to the light emission luminance is applied can be secured, so that it is possible to further secure a sufficient light emission period for emitting light at the desired luminance.
- the image display device As described above, in the image display device according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply capacity of the power supply device while securing a sufficient light emission period for emitting light with desired luminance.
- the power supply device since the power supply device used in a general image display device can be used, the power supply device secures a sufficient light emission period to emit light with desired luminance. It is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply characteristics.
- the waveform indicated by the solid line is a voltage waveform (see FIG. 3) applied to the second power supply line 12, and the waveform indicated by the one-dot chain line is the input side of the timing controller 1 (for example, light emission). It is a current waveform measured at the input terminal of the control power supply (VDD): see FIG.
- control method according to the present embodiment when the control method according to the present embodiment is not used, for example, when the organic light emitting element OLED emits light with high luminance, as shown by an elliptical portion K1 in FIG. It can be understood that a large overcurrent occurs at the start, and the load peaks are concentrated. This property occurs even when the organic light emitting element OLED emits light with low luminance, as indicated by an elliptical portion K2 in FIG.
- control method shown in FIG. 8 it is possible to suppress the influence of variation in the characteristics of the display panel in the image display apparatus. That is, by changing ⁇ V1 that determines the potential level after the pulling up, it becomes possible to improve the influence of the variation in the light emission characteristics due to the variation in the characteristics of the display panel.
- This control also provides an effect that both the rise time and the fall time of the image data potential can be shortened.

Abstract
Description
図1において、この画像表示装置は、タイミングコントローラ1および表示パネル2を備えている。表示パネル2には、第1電源線11、第2電源線12、走査線13、および画像信号線14による各配線が配設された表示部3が設けられている。さらに、表示パネル2には、走査線13に対し所定の電位を所望のタイミングで印加するYドライバ(ラインドライバ)20、画像信号線14に対し所定の電位を所望のタイミングで印加するXドライバ(データドライバ)22が設けられている。これらの配線において、第1電源線11、第2電源線12および走査線13は、表示部3における所定方向(図1の例では横方向)に配設されている。そして、走査線13については、Yドライバ20に接続されている。また、画像信号線14は、第1電源線11、第2電源線12および走査線13とは異なる方向(概略直交方向)に沿って配設されるとともに、Xドライバ22に接続されている。
図2に示す画素回路は、表示パネル2上にマトリックス状に配列されている。そして、各画素回路は、有機EL素子の一つである有機発光素子OLED、駆動トランジスタTd、閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTsおよび閾値電圧(Vth)や画像信号電位を保持する容量Csを備えるように構成されている。
つぎに、図2に示す画素回路の動作について、図2および図3を参照して説明する。図2に示す画素回路にあっては、図3に示すように、Csリセット期間、Vth検出準備期間)、Vth検出期間、データ書き込み期間、Coledリセット期間および発光期間という6つの期間を経て動作することになる。なお、これらの動作の中で、発光期間における動作は、後述の図4に示すタイミングコントローラ1の詳細ブロックおよび図5に示す処理フローに基づいて実行されるが、ここでは、動作の概要について説明し、詳細な動作については後述する。
Csリセット期間では、第1電源線11が高電位(VDD)、第2電源線12が高電位(VDD)、走査線13が高電位(VgH)、画像信号線14がゼロ電位(GND)とされる。この制御により、閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTsがオン、駆動トランジスタTdがオフとされ、第1電源線11→有機発光素子OLED→閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTs→容量Csという経路で電流が流れる。そして、容量Csが充電されることにより、容量Csの電荷がリセットされる。なお、このCsリセット期間で容量Csを充電する理由は、容量Csに書き込まれている1フレーム前の画像信号電位をリセットするためである。
Vth検出準備期間では、第1電源線11がマイナス電位(-VE)、第2電源線12がゼロ電位(GND)、走査線13が低電位(VgL)、画像信号線14が高電位(VgH)とされる。この制御により、閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTsがオフ、駆動トランジスタTdがオンとされ、第2電源線12→駆動トランジスタTd→有機発光素子OLEDという経路で電流が流れる。そして、有機発光素子OLEDが固有に有している素子容量(以下「素子容量Coled」と表記)に電荷が蓄積される。なお、このVth検出準備期間において、有機発光素子OLEDに電荷を蓄積する理由は、後述するVth検出期間に駆動トランジスタTdのゲート・ソース間電圧を閾値電圧に近づける際に、有機発光素子OLEDを駆動トランジスタTdのドレイン・ソース間に流す電流の供給源として作用させるためである。
Vth検出期間では、第1電源線11がゼロ電位(GND)、走査線13が高電位(VgH)とされる一方で、画像信号線14が高電位(VdH)に、第2電源線12がゼロ電位(GND)に維持される。この制御により、閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTsがオンとなり、駆動トランジスタTdのゲートとドレインとが接続される。
データ書き込み期間では、画像信号電位(-Vdata)を容量Csに反映させることにより、駆動トランジスタTdのゲート電位を所望電位に変化させることが行われる。より詳細には、第1電源線11がゼロ電位(GND)に、第2電源線12がゼロ電位(GND)にそれぞれ維持される。また、画像信号線14は、Vth検出期間時の印加電位(VdH)から画像信号電位(Vdata)を差し引いた分の電位(VdH-Vdata)とされ、走査線13は、データ書き込み期間内の所定期間において、高電位(VgH)とされる。
Coledリセット期間では、第1電源線11がマイナス電位(-VE)、第2電源線12もマイナス電位(-VE)とされる。一方、走査線13が低電位(VgL)に、画像信号線14が高電位(VdH)に維持される。このとき、閾値電圧検出用トランジスタTsがオフ、駆動トランジスタTdがオンとされ、有機発光素子OLED→駆動トランジスタTd→第2電源線12という経路で電流が流れ、有機発光素子OLEDに残存する電荷が放電される。なお、このColedリセット期間に素子容量Coledの電荷を放電する理由は、素子容量Coledの残存電荷による発光への影響を回避するためである。
発光期間では、第1電源線11が高電位(VDD)、第2電源線12がゼロ高電位(GND)とされ、走査線13が低電位(VgL)に維持される。なお、このようにして、第1電源線11が、発光期間開始時に第3電位としてのマイナス電位(-VE)から第4電位としての高電位(VDD)に切り替えられる。一方、画像信号線14は、発光期間の開始直後では、一旦、基準電位となる第1電位としてのGNDレベルまで引き下げられる。その後、一定電位となる第2電位としての高電位(VdH)まで引き上げられ、その高電位(VdH)のレベルが維持される。さらに、発光期間の終了直前では、GNDレベルまで引き下げられる。すなわち、発光期間における発光開始時からの制御では、制御対象の画素回路における有機発光素子OLEDに流れる電流が所望の発光輝度を発光させるに必要な電流レベルとなるまで一気に引き上げるのではなく、当該有機発光素子OLEDに流れる電流を増加させる制御を行っている。すなわち、発光期間における発光停止までの制御では、制御対象の画素回路における有機発光素子OLEDに流れる電流が非発光のレベル(黒レベル)まで一気に引き下げるのではなく、当該有機発光素子OLEDに流れる電流を減少させる制御を行っている。よって、画像信号線14が第1電位から第2電位となるために要する時間は、第1電源線11が第3電位から第4電位となるために要する時間よりも長くなる。
発光開始時の駆動トランジスタTdの状態について考えると、ゲートとソース間には点灯させる絵の輝度に対応した電位が書き込まれている。その結果、明るい絵を出す設定のときは駆動トランジスタTdの抵抗成分が小さく、駆動トランジスタTdに電流が流れやすい状態であるため、発光開始直後に発光制御用電源(VDD)の入力端に過電流が流れてしまう。本実施形態のように、画像信号線の電位を徐々に上げていくことで有機発光素子OLEDの容量成分に電荷を蓄積させることで、過電流を低減することができる。駆動トランジスタTdの抵抗成分を大きくし、駆動トランジスタTdに急に電流が流れるのを抑制した状態とすることで、点灯させる絵の輝度によらず発光制御用電源(VDD)に過電流が発生するのを抑制することができる。
つぎに、タイミングコントローラ1の構成および機能について図4を参照して説明する。
制御部23は、入力された信号生成部21からのロジック信号(Ctrl_P)に基づき、第1電源線11に対する印加電位(OUT_P)を決定して出力する。また、制御部23は、入力された信号生成部21からのロジック信号(Ctrl_N)に基づき、第2電源線12に対する印加電位(OUT_N)を決定して出力する。なお、制御部23から出力される印加電位(OUT_P)は、図3のシーケンス図における第1電源線11に対する印加電位に対応し、印加電位(OUT_N)は、図3のシーケンス図における第2電源線12に対する印加電位に対応する。
カウンタ25は、入力されたロジック信号(HSYNC)をカウントしたカウント値(COUNT)を演算部27およびセレクタ29に出力する。なお、カウンタ25がカウントしたカウント値は、制御部23から出力される制御信号(CLR)によってクリアされ、その後、再度のカウント処理が実行される。
演算部27は、カウンタ25からのカウント値に基づき、信号生成部21からの画像データを補正した補正画像データを演算してセレクタ29に出力する。
セレクタ29は、カウンタ25からのカウント値に基づき、信号生成部21から入力された画像データと、演算部27から入力された補正画像データとの中から、いずれか一方を選択してXドライバ22に出力する。すなわち、セレクタ29は、画像データおよび補正画像データのうちのいずれか一方の画像データを選択する処理を行う。
一方、発光停止の制御期間に入っていると判定された場合には、カウンタ25のカウント値をカウントダウンする処理が行われる。さらに、カウントされたカウント値が所定値(M,MはM<Nを満たす正の整数)に達しているか否かが判定される。
つぎに、画像信号線14に印加される画像データ電位の立ち上げ時間および立ち下げ時間について説明する。なお、画像表示装置の表示仕様としては、以下のものを想定する。
(1)1フレーム:16.6ms(60Hz)
(2)1フレームにおける発光期間:8.3ms(1/2フレームに相当)
(3)Xドライバのクロック周波数:16.6μs(1/1000フレームに相当)
図8において、図2に示したシーケンス図との相違点は、発光期間において、発光期間の開始直後にGNDレベルまで引き下げられた電位を徐々に引き上げる際に、引き上げ後の電位を高電位(VdH)とはせず、この高電位(VdH)よりもΔV1だけ低い所定電位に維持する制御を行うようにしている点にある。その結果、発光期間において維持される第1電位は、“VdH-ΔV1”となる。
図9において、図2に示したシーケンス図との相違点は、発光期間の開始直後において、一旦引き下げる電位をGNDよりも高い電位に制御するようしにている点および発光停止時の電位引き下げ後の電位をGNDよりも高い所定電位に制御するようにしている点にある。その結果、発光期間の開始直後および発光停止時の電位は、“ΔV2”となる。
