Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of LED driving integrated circuit device of adjustable pulse bandwidth, especially finger is a kind of is arranged at pulse wave frequency range width modulation control unit in the light emitting diode drive device, by improving the device that turnover rate (refresh rate) reduces LED flash (flicker) phenomenon.
Background technology
Light-emitting diode has been widely used in illumination and indicating equipment at present, and the trend that replaces conventional light source has gradually been arranged because of having higher brightness and luminous efficiency.
It is to decide according to its work period (duty cycle refers to that signal is the shared percentage of time of ON in one-period) that the brightness of general light-emitting diode changes.The cycle of the brightness control signal of tradition light-emitting diode driving power management system is about 6.55 milliseconds, and just picture frame speed (frame rate) is 152 times/second.Each brightness is if with 16 signal indication, then can present 2 16=65,536 kinds of brightness.Lower when the brightness of the required performance of light-emitting diode, when just the work period is low, system will export a relative length long not luminous (OFF) clock pulse continuously, make continuous non-luminous time of light-emitting diode longer.Therefore, if use the lower digital camera of image capture frequency to take the image of light-emitting diode, when then playing, the beholder can see flicker (flicker) phenomenon.Picture in the time of by Fig. 1 (a) and (b) can relatively having or not scintillation.
In view of this, the inventor actively seeks the road that solves then, through further investigation and real the checking, obtains " LED driving integrated circuit device of adjustable pulse bandwidth " of the present invention finally.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of LED driving integrated circuit device that improves the adjustable pulse bandwidth of light-emitting diode turnover rate, avoid taking place the phenomenon that picture is discontinuous or glimmer.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, LED driving integrated circuit device of the present invention comprises a pulse wave width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM) control unit and a LED driving circuit at least.The drive integrated circult device reads outside brightness settings and is sent to the pulse wave width modulation control unit, relative according to the brightness settings adjustment again work period (duty cycle), export the brightness control signal of specific pulse wave width modulation cycle (PWM cycle). and brightness control signal produces normally based on clock pulse (clock-based). the brightness control signal may command LED driving circuit of output utilized again, make outside light-emitting diode show described relatively brightness control signal and show different luminosity. wherein, the pulse wave width modulation control unit, can be with the brightness control signal of high color range (gray-scale) resolution, be divided into the brightness control signal of many low color range resolution, and keep original high color range resolution. via in the identical time but show the brightness control signal of more times several low color range resolution, and under the situation that this pulse wave width modulation control unit remained unchanged in the work period of brilliance control signal, by a default algorithm with a described pulse wave width modulation luminous continuous time in the cycle, be divided into main light period and less important light period, again main light period is cut into several parts of minor cycles, and described several parts of minor cycles and described less important light period are scattered in whole described pulse wave width modulation in the cycle, after this main light period cuts into the minor cycle, again this less important light period cutting was dispersed in each minor cycle of this main light period, and summation cycle time of the minor cycle after cutting apart equals not cut apart preceding summation cycle time, to improve luminous number of times, can form higher turnover rate (refresh rate).
Understand the described meaning of content of the present invention for making, special that important nominal definition is as follows:
1. pulse wave width modulation cycle: pulse width modulation (PWM) cycle, refer to represent the complete required time of luminance signal, its brightness is decided by the ratio of the time of luminous in the cycle (ON) and not luminous (OFF).
2. work period: duty cycle refers to that the time of luminous (ON) accounts for the percentage of time in pulse wave width modulation cycle.
3. turnover rate: refresh rate refers to the bright dark number of times of light-emitting diode per second.For people's eyes, because the cause of the persistence of vision, be secretly or to glimmer as long as turnover rate greater than per second 70 times, just is hard to tell Chu's light-emitting diode and is bright, only get the bright-dark degree of color.

Embodiment
Because the brightness of light-emitting diode variation is to decide the work period (duty cycle) according to brightness control signal.Lower when the brightness of the required performance of light-emitting diode, when just the work period is low, system will export the long continuous clock pulse of OFF of a relative length, make continuous non-luminous time of light-emitting diode longer.Therefore, when taking the image of light-emitting diode, will produce flicker (flicker) phenomenon as if the lower digital camera of use image capture frequency.
Desire to overcome above-mentioned scintillation, one of solution promptly is to reduce the continuous clock pulse of not luminous (OFF), and on average is scattered in this cycle as far as possible.During actual design, then on average be scattered in this cycle as far as possible, improve turnover rate (refresh rate), reach identical purpose by the continuous clock pulse of cutting luminous (ON) and with it.
The drive integrated circult device that the present invention is used to improve the light-emitting diode turnover rate mainly comprises a pulse wave width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM) control unit, this drive integrated circult device can be sent to the brightness control signal of outside this pulse wave width modulation control unit, and after the output signal comparison with brightness control signal and this pulse wave width modulation control unit, cut again and export.Wherein under the situation that this pulse wave width modulation control unit remained unchanged in the work period of brightness control signal (duty cycle), cut the continuous clock pulse of not luminous (OFF) or luminous (ON) in each cycle by a default algorithm, and it on average is scattered in this cycle as far as possible, to improve turnover rate.
Formula (I) below pulse wave width modulation control unit of the present invention uses and (I-1) the clock pulse number in the pulse wave width modulation cycle (PWM cycle) was assigned in the inferior cycle:
