When the voltage level of the first timing control signal SWA provided by the sequence controller TCON is low level, control Unit CU can export first voltage level VGL to multiplexer MUXA, not yet be pre-charged at this time to multiplexer MUXA;Work as timing When the voltage level of first timing control signal SWA provided by controller TCON is changed into high level by low level, control is single First CU can be according to the presupposed information that storage unit MTP is stored in control voltage level conversion unit MLS output in preset time Second voltage level GND to multiplexer MUXA, to start to be pre-charged multiplexer MUXA.That is, control unit CU Rising edge by the first timing control signal SWA triggers and controls voltage level conversion unit MLS and start to multiplexer MUXA It is pre-charged.At the end of preset time, control unit CU can control voltage level conversion unit MLS output tertiary voltage electricity Flat VGH to multiplexer MUXA, to terminate the precharge to multiplexer MUXA.
Similarly, when the voltage level of the second timing control signal SWB provided by the sequence controller TCON is low level, Control unit CU can export first voltage level VGL to multiplexer MUXB, not yet be pre-charged at this time to multiplexer MUXB;When When the voltage level of second timing control signal SWB provided by sequence controller TCON is changed into high level by low level, control Unit CU processed can be according to the presupposed information that storage unit MTP is stored in control voltage level conversion unit MLS in preset time Second voltage level GND to multiplexer MUXB is exported, to start to be pre-charged multiplexer MUXB.That is, control is single First CU is triggered by the rising edge of the second timing control signal SWB and is controlled voltage level conversion unit MLS and start to multiplexer MUXB is pre-charged.At the end of preset time, control unit CU can control voltage level conversion unit MLS output third electricity Voltage level VGH to multiplexer MUXB, to terminate the precharge to multiplexer MUXB.
In another embodiment, Fig. 7 is please referred to, voltage level converting LS may include control unit CU, voltage level Converting unit MLS, storage unit MTP, partial pressure unit VDU and multiplexing amplifying unit MOP.Wherein, control unit CU is respectively coupled to Sequence controller TCON, voltage level conversion unit MLS, multiplexing amplifying unit MOP and storage unit MTP;Voltage level conversion Unit MLS is respectively coupled to control unit CU, multiplexing amplifying unit MOP and multiplexer MUXA~MUXB;Partial pressure unit VDU coupling is more Work amplifying unit MOP;Multiplexing amplifying unit MOP is respectively coupled to control unit CU and voltage level conversion unit MLS.
Partial pressure unit VDU receives first voltage level VGL, second voltage level GND and tertiary voltage level VGH respectively, Wherein tertiary voltage level VGH is higher than second voltage level GND and second voltage level GND is higher than first voltage level VGL.Point Press unit VDU that can generate multiple candidate electricity according to first voltage level VGL, second voltage level GND and tertiary voltage level VGH Voltage level, and via being supplied to voltage level conversion unit MLS after the processing of multiplexing amplifying unit MOP.
As the first timing control signal SWA provided by control unit CU receives sequence controller TCON, control is single First CU can selectively control voltage level conversion unit MLS output according to the voltage level of the first timing control signal SWA should Multiple candidate's voltage levels are to multiplexer MUXA.
For example, when the voltage level of the first timing control signal SWA is low level, control unit CU can be according to low The first timing control signal SWA control voltage level conversion unit MLS of level exports one in multiple candidate voltage level Minimum candidate's voltage level (such as first voltage level VGL) is at this time not yet pre-charged multiplexer MUXA to multiplexer MUXA; When the voltage level of the first timing control signal SWA is changed into high level by low level, control unit CU can be according to high level The first timing control signal SWA in controlling the multiple candidate voltage electricity of voltage level conversion unit MLS output in preset time It is higher than minimum candidate voltage level (such as first voltage level VGL) in flat and lower than highest candidate voltage level (such as third Voltage level VGH) candidate voltage level (include second voltage level GND, but not limited to this), with pre- to multiplexer MUXA Charging.That is, control unit CU is triggered by the rising edge of the first timing control signal SWA and is controlled voltage level conversion Unit MLS starts to be pre-charged multiplexer MUXA.At the end of preset time, control unit CU can control voltage level and turn Unit MLS output highest candidate voltage level (such as tertiary voltage level VGH) is changed to multiplexer MUXA, to terminate to multiplexer The precharge of MUXA.
Similarly, as the second timing control signal SWB provided by control unit CU receives sequence controller TCON, control It is defeated that unit CU processed can selectively control voltage level conversion unit MLS according to the voltage level of the second timing control signal SWB Multiple candidate voltage level is to multiplexer MUXB out.
For example, when the voltage level of the second timing control signal SWB is low level, control unit CU can be according to low The second timing control signal SWB control voltage level conversion unit MLS of level exports one in multiple candidate voltage level Minimum candidate's voltage level (such as first voltage level VGL) is at this time not yet pre-charged multiplexer MUXB to multiplexer MUXB; When the voltage level of the second timing control signal SWB is changed into high level by low level, control unit CU can be according to high level The second timing control signal SWB in controlling the multiple candidate voltage electricity of voltage level conversion unit MLS output in preset time It is higher than minimum candidate voltage level (such as first voltage level VGL) in flat and lower than highest candidate voltage level (such as third Voltage level VGH) candidate voltage level (include second voltage level GND, but not limited to this), with pre- to multiplexer MUXB Charging.That is, control unit CU is triggered by the rising edge of the second timing control signal SWB and is controlled voltage level conversion Unit MLS starts to be pre-charged multiplexer MUXB.At the end of preset time, control unit CU can control voltage level and turn Unit MLS output highest candidate voltage level (such as tertiary voltage level VGH) is changed to multiplexer MUXB, to terminate to multiplexer The precharge of MUXB.
In an embodiment, voltage level conversion unit MLS may include multiple operational amplifier (not shown)s.Control The exportable thrust control signals of unit CU use the multiple operational amplifier of control and provide phase to voltage level conversion unit MLS Corresponding thrust multiple candidate voltage level received by voltage level conversion unit MLS is exported to multiplexer MUXA or MUXB causes multiple candidate voltage level to form exponential type pre-charge curve, and but not limited to this.
In practical application, partial pressure unit VDU may include multiple divider resistance R, and multiple divider resistance R can go here and there each other It is coupled between tertiary voltage level VGH and first voltage level VGL, and second voltage level GND may be coupled to multiple partial pressure In resistance R between any two divider resistances R, but not limited to this.
Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 is please referred to, timing control signal XSTB is the trigger signal of data-signal SDAT output, in timing control When signal XSTB decline (Falling) processed, data-signal SDAT can just be exported.It should be noted that since the first timing control is believed Number SWA and the second timing control signal SWB is exactly the voltage amplification signal with the same phase of multiplexer MUXA and MUXB, so scheming 8 and Fig. 9 is not marked especially.In practical application, multiplexer MUXA and MUXB is changed into the time of high level not by low level It is limited to after timing control signal XSTB decline, it, can also be with because there is the behavior of precharge and exponential region line charge electricity The transition before timing control signal XSTB decline in advance.
As shown in Figure 8, it is assumed that two multiplexer MUXA~MUXB use the operation timing of MUXA, MUXB, MUXB, MUXA. In time t1, the first timing control signal SWA (SWA is the voltage amplification signal of the same phase of multiplexer MUXA, so not indicating) Rising edge triggering multiplexer MUXA is started to be pre-charged, until multiplexer MUXA until the time, t2 was fully opened.This Outside, in time t1, also log-on data signal SDAT starts to the number in display panel the failing edge of timing control signal XSTB simultaneously It charges according to line.Similarly, in time t4, (SWB is that the voltage of the same phase of multiplexer MUXB is put to the second timing control signal SWB Big signal, so not indicating) rising edge triggering multiplexer MUXB is started to be pre-charged, until multiplexer MUXB is in the time Until t5 is fully opened.
As shown in Figure 9, it is assumed that two multiplexer MUXA~MUXB use the operation timing of MUXA, MUXB, MUXA, MUXB. In time t1, the first timing control signal SWA (SWA is the voltage amplification signal of the same phase of multiplexer MUXA, so not indicating) Rising edge triggering multiplexer MUXA is started to be pre-charged, until multiplexer MUXA until the time, t2 was fully opened.This Outside, in time t1, also log-on data signal SDAT starts to the number in display panel the failing edge of timing control signal XSTB simultaneously It charges according to line.Similarly, in time t4, (SWB is that the voltage of the same phase of multiplexer MUXB is put to the second timing control signal SWB Big signal, so not indicating) rising edge triggering multiplexer MUXB is started to be pre-charged, until multiplexer MUXB is in the time Until t5 is fully opened.
Figure 10 is please referred to, the present invention can decline in the voltage that the moment for fully opening multiplexer improves data-signal and touch-control The timing diagram of panel noise.
As shown in Figure 10, if by taking multiplexer MUXA as an example, (SWA is the same of multiplexer MUXA to the first timing control signal SWA The voltage amplification signal of phase, so not indicating) rising edge in time t1 trigger to multiplexer MUXA start to carry out precharge and It is first voltage level VGL that multiplexer MUXA is received in time t1;Then, multiplexer MUXA in be later than time t1 it is specific when Between the received specific voltage level Vx for being above first voltage level VGL of tx;Then, multiplexer MUXA is in being later than specific time The received tertiary voltage level VGH for being above specific voltage level Vx of the time t2 of tx.In practical application, specific time tx Between time t1 and t2;Specific voltage level Vx is between first voltage level VGL and tertiary voltage level VGH, example Such as second voltage level GND, but not limited to this.
It should be noted that multiplexer MUXA rises to the third electricity of time t2 from the specific voltage level Vx of specific time tx The speed of voltage level VGH can be greater than the spy that multiplexer MUXA rises to specific time tx from the first voltage level VGL of time t1 The speed of constant voltage level Vx.
That is, it is assumed that be equal to from time t1 to the time span of specific time tx from specific time tx to time t2's Time span, that is, specific time tx=(time t1+ time t2)/2, then specific voltage level Vx and tertiary voltage level VGH Between voltage difference can be greater than voltage difference between first voltage level VGL and specific voltage level Vx;Assuming that specific voltage is electric Voltage difference between flat Vx and tertiary voltage level VGH is equal to the voltage between first voltage level and specific voltage level Vx Difference, that is, specific voltage level Vx=(first voltage level VGL+ tertiary voltage level VGH)/2, then from time t1 to it is specific when Between tx time span can be greater than from specific time tx to the time span of time t2.
From the above: in a period of this section of time t1 to time t2 is pre-charged multiplexer MUXA, part A kind of exponential type rising, therefore, the multiplexer that part is opened is presented in voltage level received by the multiplexer MUXA of unlatching MUXA can be pre-charged since time t1 with data line of the exponential type pre-charge curve to display panel, until multiplexer MUXA is until the time, t2 was fully opened.
In practical application, the present invention in specific time tx and specific voltage level Vx number may each be one or It is multiple, it is not limited with the single time in above-described embodiment with single voltage level.
For example, the present invention can control multiplexing amplifying unit by the storage unit MTP and control unit CU in Fig. 7 MOP between time t1 to n specific time tx1~txn between time t2 export respectively between first voltage level VGL with N specific voltage level Vx1~Vxn between tertiary voltage level VGH, wherein n is the positive integer greater than 1, and third is electric Voltage level VGH > Vxn > Vx (n-1) > ... > Vx1 > first voltage level VGL, causes voltage level conversion unit MLS can Output index type pre-charge curve.
If multiplexer MUXA rises to the time from the specific voltage level Vxn of specific time txn by taking multiplexer MUXA as an example The speed > multiplexer MUXA of the tertiary voltage level VGH of t2 rises to from the specific voltage level Vx (n-1) of time tx (n-1) Specific voltage level Vxn > ... the > multiplexer MUXA of specific time txn rises to from the first voltage level VGL of time t1 The specific voltage level Vx1 of time tx1.
That is, it is assumed that from time t1 to the time span of specific time tx1=from specific time tx1 to specific time The time span of tx2=...=from specific time txn to the time span of time t2, then specific voltage level Vxn and third are electric Voltage difference > specific voltage level Vx (n-1) between the voltage level VGH and voltage difference > ... between specific voltage level Vxn Voltage difference between > first voltage level VGL and specific voltage level Vx1;Assuming that specific voltage level Vxn and tertiary voltage The voltage difference of voltage difference between level VGH=between specific voltage level Vx (n-1) and specific voltage level Vxn=...= Voltage difference between first voltage level VGL and specific voltage level Vx1 is then long to the time of specific time tx1 from time t1 It is long to the time of time t2 from specific time txn to spend time span > ... > of the > from specific time tx1 to specific time tx2 Degree.
Similarly, the case where being pre-charged to multiplexer MUXB, there are also multiplexer MUXA~MUXB to the number of display panel The situation of pre-arcing is carried out according to line, can the rest may be inferred, therefore do not repeated separately in this.
It is according to yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention a kind of display panel drive control method.In this embodiment, Display panel drive control method passes through a plurality of data in multiplexer driving display panel to control source electrode driver output Line.
Figure 11 is please referred to, Figure 11 shows the flow chart of display panel drive control method in this embodiment.As shown in figure 11, Display panel drive control method may include the following steps:
Step S10: under first time, starting to be pre-charged by timing control signal starting to multiplexer, wherein Multiplexer receives first voltage level in first time;
Step S12: under the second time, multiplexer receives second voltage level, wherein the second time was later than at the first time And second voltage level is higher than first voltage level;And
Step S14: under the third time, multiplexer receives tertiary voltage level, and wherein the third time was later than for the second time And tertiary voltage level is higher than second voltage level.
It should be noted that multiplexer is risen to the tertiary voltage level of third time by the second voltage level of the second time Speed can be greater than multiplexer be risen to by the first voltage level of first time the second time second voltage level speed. That is, the multiplexer being in close state originally receives first voltage level in first time and partially opens, and multiplexing Device voltage level received by from first time to the third time is presented exponential type and increases, until multiplexer is indirect when third Receive tertiary voltage level and until fully opening.
In practical application, the rising edge of timing control signal at the first time also triggering simultaneously in display panel should Multiple data lines start to charge.Since the presentation of multiplexer voltage level received by from first time to the third time refers to Number type increases, and therefore, multiplexer is carried out since at the first time with data line of the exponential type pre-charge curve to display panel pre- Charging, until multiplexer can just stop to display when the third time receiving tertiary voltage level and being in fully open state The data line of panel is pre-charged.
For example, as shown in Figure 10, (SWA is that the voltage of the same phase of multiplexer MUXA is put to the first timing control signal SWA Big signal, so not marking) rising edge triggered in time t1 and start to carry out precharge and multiplexer MUXA to multiplexer MUXA First voltage level VGL is received in time t1;Then, multiplexer MUXA in time tx receive second voltage level Vx, wherein when Between tx be later than first time t1 and second voltage level Vx and be higher than first voltage level VGL;Then, multiplexer MUXA is in time t2 Tertiary voltage level VGH is received, wherein time t2 is later than time tx and tertiary voltage level VGH is higher than second voltage level Vx. Since multiplexer MUXA can be big by the speed of the second voltage level Vx of the time tx tertiary voltage level VGH for rising to time t2 The speed of the second voltage level Vx of time tx is risen to by the first voltage level VGL of time t1 in multiplexer MUXA, that is, During the precharge of time t1 to time t2, index is presented in voltage level received by the multiplexer MUXA that part is opened Type variation, therefore, part open multiplexer MUXA can since time t1 with exponential type pre-charge curve to display panel Data line is pre-charged, until time t2.
Similarly, multiplexer the situation of pre-arcing is carried out to the data line of display panel also can the rest may be inferred.Example is held, is shown Panel driving control method also may include the following steps:
Under the 4th time, triggering multiplexer starts to carry out pre-arcing, wherein the 4th time was later than third time and multiplexing Device receives tertiary voltage level in the 4th time;
Under the 5th time, multiplexer receives the 4th voltage level, wherein the 5th time was later than the 4th time and the 4th electricity Voltage level is lower than tertiary voltage level;And
Under the 6th time, multiplexer receives first voltage level, wherein the 6th time was later than the 5th time and the first electricity Voltage level is lower than the 4th voltage level.
Similarly, multiplexer is dropped to the speed of the first voltage level of the 6th time by the 4th voltage level of the 5th time Degree can be greater than the speed that multiplexer is dropped to the 4th voltage level of the 5th time by the tertiary voltage level of the 4th time, that is, Multiplexer voltage level received by the 4th time to the 6th time is presented exponential type and reduces.
Compared to the prior art, in voltage level converting of the invention and display panel drive control method, when The rising edge of sequence control signal is other than triggering source electrode driver output starts outputting data signals to fan out unit charging, also When triggering the unlatching of multiplexer part simultaneously and starting to be pre-charged one section with data line of the exponential type pre-charge curve to display panel Between after fully open multiplexer again to data line charges electricity.
Since the present invention is before fully opening multiplexer to the data line charging of display panel, first multiplexing can be opened in part Device is pre-charged the data line of display panel, can not only extend effective charging time of data line and become the charging of data line Relatively linearly, the phenomenon that can also reducing the immediate current of data line when fully opening multiplexer and voltage is avoided to decline appearance.
Therefore, voltage level converting of the invention and display panel drive control method can effectively promote display surface The pixel charge rate of plate simultaneously substantially eliminates noise for touch panel, and stylus is smoothly operated on touch panel.
Certainly, the present invention can also have other various embodiments, without deviating from the spirit and substance of the present invention, ripe It knows those skilled in the art and makes various corresponding changes and modifications, but these corresponding changes and change in accordance with the present invention Shape all should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims of the present invention.
