Description

液晶显示时序驱动器 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示驱动领域, 尤其涉及一种大尺寸液晶显示的时序 驱动器。 背景技术
液晶显示器的驱动电路包括: 时序控制电路、 源极驱动电路、 栅极驱 动电路以及背光驱动电路。
时序控制是液晶显示器重要的必不可少的部分, 其主要包括时序控制 电路, 主要功能是接收主板电路信号, 输出栅极驱动器时序信号、 源极驱 动器时序信号及数据信号、 场同步信号及其它功能信号。 栅极驱动对应的 时序信号包括: 时钟信号 (CKV)、 起始脉冲信号 (STV, 作为场同步信号 使用)、 输出使能信号 (OE, 控制栅极开关); 源极驱动对应的时序信号包 括: 锁存脉冲信号 (TP)、 极性反转信号 (POL)。
背光驱动电路是利用时序控制信号和电压电流信号, 控制背光源的开 关及明暗程度。
液晶屏显示的刷新频率一般为 60HZ、 120HZ、 240HZ或者更高, 刷 新频率是液晶屏每秒时间内显示的帧数, 刷新频率是与 STV信号相同的, 画面显示的品质除了和液晶屏本身有关还和背光源有关, 背光源一般都采 用脉冲宽度调制 (PWM)信号调光控制, 其中 PWM信号的占空比影响背光 源的亮度, PWM频率影响画面的闪烁程度。
目前的平板电脑及液晶显示器都是采用独立的背光调节方式来调节, 及液晶显示屏的时序控制电路与背光源的时序控制电路彼此独立, 用两颗 芯片分别独立控制两个栅极驱动及源极驱动时序, 额外增加一颗中央控制 处理模块 (MCU)控制背光驱动时序, 这样的话无法保证 LCD 画面的刷新 频率与背光控制电路的 PWM 频率的一致性和相位的一致性, 很有可能会 造成画面的闪烁。 液晶显示的扫描帧频率 Fi与所述背光源的闪烁频率 F2 同步. 同相时, 即 F^N F 会出现水波纹静止的现象 (驻波现象), 此时表 现出来的是静止的横条紋。
