Power supply sequent control circuit and applied gate drivers and display panels
Technical field
The present invention is relevant for the gate drivers of a kind of LCD (LCD) panel, and particularly relevant for a kind of gate drivers with power supply sequent control circuit.
Background technology
General in the drive system of LCD, the order that applies voltage must suitably can not normally show otherwise can cause, even be to cause damage.For instance, be example with grid high voltage (VGH) and the grid low-voltage (VGL) that offers gate drivers, the mistake of both boot sequences just might cause circuit upset operation (for example pinning (latch-up)), and then damages integrated circuit.Wherein, VGH and VGL are operation positive voltage and operation negative voltage, are normally provided by power module, give gate drivers.If the VGH signal that enters gate drivers than VGL signal early to or the signal of VGH and VGL enter gate drivers with the time, just may cause immediate current, again because VGL voltage generally is to be connected in the substrate (substrate), therefore, can be when immediate current flows to substrate with the lifting of VGL voltage, if when this lifting effect makes VGL>0.5~0.7V, just can form the phenomenon of pinning, or produce big electric current and then cause the damage of integrated circuit.
Its mode of avoiding is to make time that the VGL signal enters into gate drivers early than the VGH signal, to avoid causing the damage of integrated circuit.Generally speaking, can provide grid high voltage (VGHp) and grid low-voltage (VGLp) from power module (Power Block), wherein p represents the voltage signal of being sent by power module.VGHp and VGLp enter into before the gate drivers, must utilize outer member or go to change the order of voltage source by time schedule controller, make the VGLg that enters gate drivers early than VGHg, and wherein the g representative inputs to the operating voltage signal of gate drivers.

Power module 110 is to import via external power source VDD.The control of matching timing controller 100, and then produce the voltages of varying levels of organizing to time schedule controller 100, source electrode driver 102 and gate drivers 104 more.Source electrode driver 102 is via the control of time schedule controller 100, the digital video signal of high frequency input is stored in the storer, cooperate the unlatching of specific sweep trace, convert digital video signal the voltage of the electrode of the inferior pixel 108 that will export corresponding color to, to drive the data line S1...Sn of pixel display panel 106.
Gate drivers 104 is via the control of time schedule controller 100, and (the suitable ON/OFF voltage of output of G1~Gn) is to drive the sweep trace of pixel display panel 106 to specially sweep trace sequentially.Pixel display panel 106 is formed a pixel by quite a lot of pixel with the inferior pixel of red, green, blue.Divide other time pixel that a thin film transistor (TFT) is for example arranged, its gate terminal is to be come the ON/OFF of control TFT by scan drive circuit.When thin film transistor (TFT) ON, its source terminal just can be charged to the voltage level with respect to acceptance data to the electric capacity on the thin film transistor (TFT).Decide the angle of liquid crystal deflection according to this voltage level, and then determine when backlight is got to liquid crystal the performance of its picture GTG degree.By colored mating plate the inferior pixels of organizing different GTG degree on the panel are blended desired color more again, constitute the picture of high-res.
As before discussing, if the voltage signal VGHp, the VGLp that are sent by power module 110 directly input to gate drivers 104, its input sequence does not guarantee VGLp input earlier.Therefore, can do the control of voltage input sequence by an external circuit 112 traditionally, produce suitable VGHg, VGLg and give gate drivers 104.
The mode that changes the voltage source order traditionally has a variety of.Fig. 2 illustrates the schematic diagram of mechanism that tradition changes the voltage source order.Consult Fig. 2, it is one of general classic method that RC postpones.Normally the VGHp that power module 110 is sent utilizes the mode that RC postpones, and makes it be slower than VGLp and enters into gate drivers 104.VGHp through a time delay T after, can be than the late gate drivers 104 that enters into of VGLp, shown in the top component among Fig. 2.This mode is the simplest mode, but its shortcoming is also arranged.Time delay, T depended on the value of R*C, was not suitable for usually resistor R and capacitor C are integrated in the IC interior, and it has the problem that can utilize area that takies, and also can cause the cost problem.Even utilize outer member to achieve the goal, also be to increase cost.When wanting powered-down,, cause the voltage VGHg that is stored on the electric capacity to discharge rapidly because the value of external capacitor C is not little again.If this moment is power-on once again, also have an opportunity to cause circuit to damage.
In addition, technology has and can control the order that VGH/VGL enters gate drivers by the matching timing controller traditionally.Yet these methods must be utilized outside resistor and capacitor, or outside timing control signal removes to control the VGH/VGL sequencing, can increase complexity and cost.

Fig. 3 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, power controling machine system synoptic diagram.Consult Fig. 3 (a), mechanism of the present invention is value as negative voltage signal VGLp during less than a critical value, and the VGHp that is produced by power module just can export to the internal circuit of gate drivers.In addition, because the current-limiting circuit that the present invention utilizes gate drivers originally just must possess is used as power control circuit in addition, therefore, before introducing power control circuit of the present invention, introduce the framework of current-limiting circuit earlier.See also Fig. 3 (b) at this, Fig. 3 (b) is the fundamental mechanism of current-limiting circuit.Present embodiment be with the PMOS transistor as the characteristic of resistance as design basis, on the path between VGHp and the VGHg, be provided with a PMOS transistor 200.In addition, the present invention also can adopt a plurality of identical paths in parallel, shown in Fig. 3 (b), except PMOS transistor 200, also is provided with the PMOS transistor 202 identical with PMOS transistor 200 on the path.VGHp is the positive voltage signal of input, and VGHg is the positive voltage signal that inputs to gate drivers.VGLp is the negative voltage signal of input, and it is identical with the negative voltage signal VGLg that will input to gate drivers, is the grid that is connected PMOS transistor 200.
The metering function of Fig. 3 (b) is as described below: gate drivers generally needs the circuit of current limliting (current-limit), is used for the externally current limliting between the voltage VGHp and builtin voltage VGHg.Because during the LCD system closing, must (voltage level of G1~Gn) be moved VGHg to all output channels of gate drivers, and then open thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) on all pixels, so that stored electric charge on capacitor C s and liquid crystal capacitance Clc on the pixel is bled off, the phenomenon of avoiding next system boot to have ghost produces, therefore, when system closing, must have current limiting mechanism, avoiding producing instantaneous large-current in the discharge process, and cause circuit to damage; Current limliting MOS resistor the 200, the 202nd is used as the usefulness of aforesaid current limiting mechanism, to avoid the generation of instantaneous large-current, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the W/L of MOS resistor 200,202 has enough big value than being designed to, can normal operation to guarantee current limiting mechanism.
Based on the circuit mechanism of this Fig. 3, the present invention proposes power supply sequent control circuit.Fig. 4 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, the synoptic diagram of power supply sequent control circuit.Consult Fig. 4,, cooperate whole gate driving, more reach the effect of control power supply order according to the mechanism of Fig. 3.Present embodiment is an example with two identical path parallel connections, yet with regard to basic function, a path can be reached.The PMOS resistor 200,202 that cooperates current limliting, it is as the circuit of Fig. 3, but the grid of PMOS resistor 200,202 is connected to the control end of control voltage VA, VB.In addition, a PMOS transistor 204 is used as resistor and is used, and is connected first end of input voltage VGHp and has between two end points of control end of voltage VA.Similarly, a PMOS transistor 208 is used as resistor and uses, be connected first end of input voltage VGHp and have between two end points of control end of voltage VB.The grid of PMOS transistor 204,208 is connected to output voltage V GHg by the mode of feedbacking.One nmos pass transistor 206 is used as resistor and is used, and is connected the end points of voltage VA and has between the end points of output voltage V GLp, and its grid is connected to a system low-voltage VCC, for example is ground voltage GND.One nmos pass transistor 210 is used as resistor and is used, and is connected the end points of voltage VB and has between the end points of output voltage V GLp, and its grid is connected to a system low-voltage VCC, for example is ground voltage GND.
The operation mechanism of the power supply sequent control circuit of this embodiment is as follows.If VGHp enters in the gate driver circuit simultaneously early than VGLp=VGLg=0V or VGHp and VGLp,,, make VA=VB=VGHp so PMOS transistor 204,208 can conductings because the initial set value of VGHg is 0V.PMOS transistor 200,202 is a closed condition, and this moment, inner VGHg still was 0V.
When VGLp=VGLg=VGL begins when dropping to a certain magnitude of voltage, nmos pass transistor 206,210 conductings this moment, and then voltage VA and VB be pulled to the VGL level make 200,202 conductings of PMOS transistor.This moment, inner positive voltage VGHg just reached the VGHp level, and it is late to enter gate driver circuit than VGLg.When stable state, PMOS transistor the 204, the 206th, closed condition for example can avoid constituting DC path, as VGHp → PMOS transistor 204,206 → nmos pass transistor 206,210 → VGL, causes power consumption.So, no matter can needing only by PMOS transistor 204,206 and nmos pass transistor 206,210, one embodiment of the invention just why can reach the external voltage source sequence, and the order that enters into gate driver circuit inside all be VGLg early than VGHg, the situation of guaranteeing not have pinning (latch-up) takes place.
