Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectricity, in particular to a feedback signal detection method and a display system.
Background
In the prior art, there are various Display products, such as an AMOLED (Active matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode or Active matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) which uses a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) for pixel unit circuit Display and adds an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode or Organic electroluminescent Display, also called as an Organic Light Emitting Diode, an Organic electroluminescent Display or an Organic Light Emitting semiconductor) Display screen thereon.
The micro-display product of OLED-on-Silicon or QLED-on-Silicon type is a pixel unit circuit array made of Silicon, and OLED or QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes T1) Light Emitting devices are added on the micro-display product.
TFT, OLED, QLED, etc. all suffer from aging problems after light emission, e.g., TFT threshold voltage rise causes the TFT to age the same display signal giving less current. When the display screen starts displaying, the threshold voltage of the aging TFT or the threshold voltage of the aging OLED can shift. The increase in OLED threshold voltage results in a decrease in OLED current. The light emitting efficiency of an aging OLED decreases, i.e., the same input current, and the light emitted by the aging OLED decreases.
Besides the aging problem, the TFT, OLED, QLED, etc. have the problem of uneven threshold voltage, for example, uneven threshold voltage and thus uneven light emission of the display screen may be caused during the production process due to the process. Due to the different display positions of the pixel units on the display screen, the uneven power supply voltage of the pixel units can be caused by the flowing of current when the display screen emits light, and the uneven temperature can cause the uneven current of the driving tubes. The unevenness of each channel source driving module can cause the unevenness of the feedback driving current.
In addition, the display driving chips of all pixel systems have the problem of uneven driving of different driving channels, i.e. driving circuits.

In the technical field, schemes for compensating an AMOLED display system are divided into in-pixel compensation and out-pixel compensation (or external compensation), an out-pixel compensation method is divided into a real-time compensation method and a non-real-time compensation method, the non-real-time compensation method is divided into a digital domain compensation method and an analog domain compensation method, and the digital domain compensation method is adopted in the AMOLED display system.
The digital domain compensation method is generally to calculate the display digital signal and the aging signal in the memory through a compensation algorithm into a compensated digital display signal, and then to transmit the compensated digital display signal from the controller to the source driver.
The compensated digital display signal will typically have a larger bit width than the original digital display signal, e.g. the aging information is 8 bits, the display signal is 8 bits, and the digital display signal compensated by the compensation algorithm may be 10 bits.
The digital domain compensation method is generally applied to single DAC display systems, for example using a linear DAC of 10 bit width. The 1024 different potential voltages of the DAC may be from a resistor string, for example, with 1023 resistor strings to divide the 1024 potentials (including the lowest and highest voltages) between the highest and lowest voltages in the form of resistor division.
The 8-bit digital display signal is calculated by the controller through a compensation algorithm by using the data in the aging memory to generate a 10-bit compensated digital display signal, and then the compensated digital display signal is transmitted to the source driver. The source driver block for each channel in the source driver has a 10-bit linear DAC that converts the 10-bit compensated digital display signal into a compensated analog display signal for writing to the gated pixel cell.
The pixel units form an array, the pixel units suitable for the off-pixel compensation display system need to be provided with feedback channels, and aging information in the pixel units needs to be fed back to an aging signal detection module in the source driver for aging detection.
The line scan driver sends out line scan signals to the display address lines (corresponding to the display address signals) and the feedback address lines (corresponding to the feedback address signals), respectively. When the display address signal is asserted, the pixel circuit of the row connected to the display address line is turned on to write the signal (e.g., the correction signal or the compensated analog display signal) on the display signal line to the pixel cell connected thereto. When the feedback address signal is effective, the feedback channel of the pixel unit can be conducted, and the information of the aging or the uneven threshold voltage of the pixel unit is transmitted to the feedback signal line in the form of current or voltage.
The aging signal detection module is used for detecting whether the aging signal fed back from the pixel unit deviates from the expected aging degree. The detection result is a digit of one bit, which represents that the expected aging degree is lower or higher, and the detection result is output to the controller through the shift-out circuit, and then the aging information memory is updated.
Since it is necessary to transfer the aging information in the pixel unit to the feedback signal line, the pixel unit circuit has a feedback channel output port and a control input port of the feedback channel, such as the third switch tube of fig. 2, which forms the feedback channel connecting the pixel unit and the feedback signal line.
The Controller not only has the function of controlling the source driver and the row scanning driver to write the display signals in the time sequence row-by-row gating pixel units by a time sequence control module (Timing Controller) of the traditional display system, but also comprises an aging information memory, each pixel unit can be subjected to various aging compensations according to the aging information, and the digital compensation value of each pixel unit is calculated by using a compensation algorithm. In addition, the controller also receives the detection result of the pixel unit feedback voltage from the source driver.
The off-pixel compensated display system may perform two operations, a display operation and a corrective feedback detection operation. The display operation is generally the same as that of a conventional display system. The implementation details of the corrective feedback detection operation need to be matched to the design of the entire off-pixel compensated display system. The correction feedback detection operation may be performed when the display system is not performing the display operation. For example, after the display system is powered on, before the display screen starts displaying pictures, when the display screen is powered off and then power is supplied, or a blank period before frames or frames, or a period of time is specially scheduled for not performing display operation but performing correction feedback detection operation.
In the display operation, the controller sends a control signal to the line scanning driver, the line scanning driver sends a line scanning signal to the display address line to gate a certain row of pixel units (or a part of pixel units of a certain row), the controller performs compensation calculation for the input 8-bit-wide digital display signal by using the aging data of the aging information memory, and outputs the 10-bit-wide compensated digital display signal to the source driver. The source driver serially receives the input 10-bit wide compensated digital display signals using the shift-in circuit, arranging each compensated digital display signal under a corresponding channel. The controller also outputs a control signal to the source driver to control the compensated digital display signal of the whole row to be output to the source driving module in parallel. Each source driving module comprises a 10-bit DAC, and the DAC converts 10-bit compensated digital display signals into compensated analog display signals, outputs the compensated analog display signals to corresponding display signal lines, and writes the compensated analog display signals into gated pixel units.
In the correction feedback detection operation, a display signal writing channel of a designated row pixel unit (or a part of pixel units of a certain row) is gated through a row scanning driver, and then a correction signal is written through a display signal line, wherein the correction signal can be generated from a controller or a source driver of a local same channel (such as fig. 4, sw1 is turned on, and sw2 is turned off and turned on), after the correction signal is written, the row scanning driver gates the feedback channel of the row pixel unit, the aging information detection result detected by the detection module is latched in parallel, and then the aging information detection result is output to the controller in series through a shift-out circuit, and then the aging information memory is updated.

The display system of the invention is an out-of-pixel compensation single DAC display system, or referred to as an out-of-pixel compensation AMOLED display system.

The Light Emitting device is a Light Emitting Diode, and may be an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), or a quantum dot Light Emitting Diode (QLED), or a general type and other various types of LEDs (Light-Emitting Diode).
The aging information memory 13 can store various kinds of aging information.
The first embodiment is as follows:
as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 4, this embodiment is an improvement on the conventional external compensation display system, in the display system of the feedback signal detection method of this embodiment, the display system uses the pixel unit shown in fig. 2, the source driving module 321 includes a digital-to-analog converter 51, the detection module 322 includes a comparator 52 and a current source 53, and the current source 53 of the m-th column of detection units is respectively connected to each pixel unit 41 of the m-th column through the m-th column of feedback signal line 45.
The predetermined potential of the present embodiment is the low potential V1, and in each column driving channel, the digital-to-analog converter 51 of the detecting unit is connected to the display signal line 44 through the second switch sw2, and further connected to each pixel unit 41 of the column. The display signal line 44 is also connected to a low potential V1 through a first switch sw1, and V1 may be 0V. The first switch sw1 and the second switch sw2 are operated in opposite directions, one is turned on and the other is turned off.
The positive input end of the comparator 52 in the m-th column of detection units is connected with the m-th column of feedback signal line 45, and the negative input end of the comparator 52 is connected with the digital-to-analog converter 51 of the m-th column of detection units.
In the present embodiment, the digital-to-analog converter 51 is referred to as an m-th column detection unit. In other embodiments of the present invention, the reference dac may be a dac of a detection unit other than the m-th column.
When the aging phenomenon occurs after the light emitting diode T1 starts emitting light, the threshold voltage of the light emitting diode T1 shifts to a higher value. The feedback signal detection method of the embodiment is used for detecting the threshold voltage of the light emitting diode T1, and includes the following steps:
the first process is as follows: sequentially gating the writing channels of the pixel units in the 1 st row to the Nth row and carrying out detection operation when the writing channel of each row of pixel units is gated;
for the nth row of pixel units, as shown in fig. 8, the detection operation specifically includes:
st1, the line scan driver 20 gates the write channel of the nth row of pixel units, the line scan driver 20 outputs the scan signal to the nth row of display address lines 42, so that the low voltage is written into the gate of the driving tube Q1, turning off the driving tube Q1;
st2, the pixel unit is controlled to generate the feedback signal and the reference dac is controlled to output the comparison voltage such that the positive input terminal of the comparator receives the feedback voltage and the negative input terminal of the comparator receives the comparison voltage.
Specifically, the timing control module 11 controls the second switch sw2 of the mth column driving channel to be turned off and the first switch sw1 to be turned on. When the second switch sw2 is turned off, the connection between the dac 51 and the display signal line 44 is broken, and the dac 51 is matched with the voltage comparator 52 to detect the aging information. Since the first switch sw1 is turned on, the low potential V1 inputs a low voltage to the display signal line 44 through the first switch sw 1.
The row scanning driver 20 gates the feedback channel of the nth row of pixel units;
the current source 53 of the m-th column detection unit inputs a preset low current (e.g., 1nA) to the pixel unit 41 through the m-th column feedback signal line 45; since the current ratio is relatively small, the voltage at the anode of the light emitting diode T1 and the voltage on the feedback signal line 45 can be considered as the threshold voltage of the light emitting diode T1. When the voltage on the feedback signal line 45 is stable, the voltage can be compared with the voltage selected by the digital-to-analog converter;
the feedback voltage of the pixel unit 41 in the nth row and the mth column is obtained as the voltage on the feedback signal line 45 in the mth column.
The timing control module 11 controls the digital-to-analog converters 51 of the m-th row of detecting units to generate the selected voltage, and the obtained comparison voltage is the voltage selected by the digital-to-analog converters 51 of the m-th row of detecting units. Preferably, the comparison voltage is: the controller 10 outputs the DAC input value corresponding to the threshold voltage of the light emitting diode T1 of the pixel unit 41 in the m-th column to the 10-bit digital-to-analog converter 51 of the detection unit in the m-th column, and outputs the voltage through the digital-to-analog converter 51.
St3, comparator 52 compares the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage.
St4, the comparator 52 feeds back the detection result obtained by the comparison to the aging information memory 13 through the shift-out circuit 33, and the aging information memory 13 stores the detection result and updates the data.
And a second process: repeating the first process, as the first process is repeated, the input value of the dac 51 will steadily jump between K and K +1 in the following operation, and the final result of the comparison between the feedback voltage and the comparison voltage can be determined.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first process may be repeated over and over again.
Example two:
as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 5, this embodiment is an improvement on the conventional external compensation display system, in the display system of the feedback signal detection method of this embodiment, the display system uses the pixel unit shown in fig. 2, the source driving module 321 includes a digital-to-analog converter 51, the detection module 322 includes a comparator 52, the preset potential is a high potential V2, V2 may be a high voltage from a resistor string or a high voltage with a known voltage value, the high voltage can ensure that the driving transistor Q1 is turned on, and V2 corresponds to Vg below. In each column of driving channels, the digital-to-analog converter 51 of the detecting unit is connected to the display signal line 44 through the second switch sw2, and further connected to each pixel unit 41 of the column. The display signal line 44 is also connected to a high potential V2 through the first switch sw 1.
The m-th column display signal line 44 of the present embodiment is also connected to the high potential V2 through the first switch sw 1.
The negative input of the comparator 52 of the m-th column of detection units is connected to the digital-to-analog converter 51 of the m-th column of detection units.
In the present embodiment, the digital-to-analog converter 51 is referred to as an m-th column detection unit. In other embodiments of the present invention, the reference dac may be a dac of a detection unit other than the m-th column.
The feedback signal detection method of the embodiment is used for detecting the threshold voltage of the driving tube Q1, and comprises the following processes:
the first process is as follows: sequentially gating the writing channels of the pixel units in the 1 st row to the Nth row and carrying out detection operation when the writing channel of each row of pixel units is gated;
for the nth row of pixel units, as shown in fig. 8, the process of the detection operation specifically includes:
st1, the row scan driver 20 gates the write channel of the nth row of pixel cells 41, the row scan driver 20 outputs a scan signal to the nth row of display address lines 42;
st2, the pixel unit is controlled to generate the feedback signal and the reference dac is controlled to output the comparison voltage such that the positive input terminal of the comparator receives the feedback voltage and the negative input terminal of the comparator receives the comparison voltage.
Specifically, the second switch sw2 of the mth column driving channel is controlled to be turned off, and the first switch sw1 is controlled to be turned on; when the second switch sw2 is turned off, the connection between the digital-to-analog converter 51 and the display signal line 44 is broken;
since the first switch sw1 is turned on, so that a high voltage is written into the gate of the driving tube Q1, the driving tube Q1 is turned on; the high voltage may be an optional voltage Vg of the 10-bit DAC (for example, Vg is an output voltage when the input of the 10-bit DAC is equal to 1000) or a high voltage with a known voltage value, which can ensure that the driving transistor Q1 is turned on;
the row scanning driver 20 gates the feedback channel of the nth row of pixel units 41, and outputs the source end voltage (i.e. the OLED anode voltage) of the driving tube Q1 to the positive input end of the comparator 52 through the feedback signal line 45;
the feedback voltage of the pixel unit 41 in the nth row and the mth column is the voltage on the feedback signal line 45 in the mth column, i.e., the source terminal voltage of the driving transistor Q1.
The timing control module 11 controls the digital-to-analog converters 51 of the m-th row of detecting units to generate the selected voltage, and the obtained comparison voltage is the voltage selected by the digital-to-analog converters 51 of the m-th row of detecting units. Preferably, the comparison voltage is: the controller 10 outputs the DAC input value corresponding to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Q1 of the pixel unit 41 in the m-th row, which is detected before, to the 10-bit digital-to-analog converter 51 of the detection unit in the m-th row, and then outputs the voltage through the digital-to-analog converter 51.
St3, comparator 52 compares the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage.
St4, the comparator 52 feeds back the detection result obtained by the comparison to the aging information memory 13 through the shift-out circuit 33, and the aging information memory 13 stores the detection result and updates the data.
And a second process: repeating the first process, as the first process is repeated, the input value of the dac 51 will steadily jump between K and K +1 in the following operation, and the final result of the comparison between the feedback voltage and the comparison voltage can be determined. At this time, the input value of the 10-bit DAC corresponding to the source voltage of the driving transistor Q1 can be considered to be K.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first process may be repeated over and over again.
In a display system, after the pixel unit 41 starts emitting light, the aging of the driving transistor Q1 causes the threshold voltage to drift upward, and the source voltage of the driving transistor Q1 is equal to the gate voltage minus the threshold voltage.
The voltage Vg of the grid electrode of the driving tube Q1 is enabled to correspond to the input value G of the 10-bit DAC, and the voltage Vs of the source electrode of the driving tube Q1 is enabled to correspond to the input value S of the 10-bit DAC; vs is Vg-Vth, so Vth is Vg-Vs. The threshold voltage Vth here already includes the body effect of the driving transistor Q1. The value of Vg is pre-selected and known, and Vs can be detected by the dac 51 and the comparator 52, so Vth of the driving transistor Q1 can be calculated. When the Vth value rises after the driving tube Q1 ages, the detected Vs will correspondingly drop.

Fig. 8 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for detecting a feedback signal according to the present invention, which is suitable for illustrating a method of a display system according to the first to fifth embodiments of the present invention, wherein the display system according to the first to fifth embodiments of the present invention has different circuit structures due to different digital-to-analog converters for reference, and the main difference of the method according to the first to fifth embodiments of the present invention is the St2 process. For convenience of description and analysis, the detection operation herein is directed to the pixel units in the nth row and the mth column, and the pixel units in the nth row and the mth column are used as the target pixel units. The St1 process and the St2 process may be performed simultaneously.
The feedback signal detection method of the present invention comprises the following processes:
the first process is as follows: sequentially gating the writing channels of the pixel units in the 1 st row to the Nth row and carrying out detection operation when the writing channel of each row of pixel units is gated;
for the nth row of pixel units, the detection operation process specifically includes: st1, gating the write channel of the pixel cells of the nth row; st2, controlling the pixel unit to generate the feedback signal and controlling the reference dac to output the comparison voltage such that the first input terminal of the comparator receives the feedback voltage and the second input terminal of the comparator receives the comparison voltage; st3, comparing the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage; st4, controlling the comparator to feed the detection result obtained by comparison back to the aging information memory through the shift-out circuit;
and a second process: repeating process one, the input value of the dac 51 will steadily jump between K and K +1 in the following operation as process one is repeated. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first process may be repeated over and over again.
In the present invention, the positive input terminal of the comparator 52 may be set as the first input terminal, and the negative input terminal may be set as the second input terminal. St3 compares the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage by:
when the row scan driver 20 performs the write channel for gating the pixel units on the nth row in the first scan, the comparator 52 compares the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage;
if the output result of the comparator 52 comparing the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage in the first scanning is 1, when the line scan driver 20 performs the n-th line writing channel in the second scanning, the comparison voltage is controlled to increase by the preset value k; if the output result of the comparator 52 comparing the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage in the first scanning is 0, when the line scanning driver 20 performs the second scanning, the nth line writing channel is gated again, the comparison voltage is controlled to decrease by the preset value k;
after the comparator 52 compares the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage and outputs a result that is inverted for the first time when the line scan driver 20 performs a certain scanning round, if the result is inverted for the first time to 1 to 0, the comparison voltage is controlled to be reduced by 1 when the nth line writing channel is next gated; if the first inversion is 0 to 1, controlling the comparison voltage to increase by 1 when the nth row writing channel is gated next time;
the row scanning driver 20 continues to repeatedly perform multiple scanning strobes on the pixel units in the 1 st row to the Nth row, and when the writing channel in the nth row is strobed again, if the result of the last comparison is 1, the comparison voltage is controlled to be increased by 1; if the result of the last comparison is 0, the comparison voltage is controlled to be reduced by 1;
the line scan driver 20 continues to repeatedly perform multiple scanning strobes on the pixel units in the 1 st to nth rows until the writing channel in the nth row is subsequently strobed, and if the result output by comparing the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage with the value of K +1 is 0 and the result output by comparing the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage with the value of K is 1, a certain value between K and K +1 is taken as a final result. For example, an intermediate value between K and K +1, an average value, a value K, or a value K +1 may be used as the detection result, and the solution of the average value includes calculating an arithmetic scheme such as an arithmetic average value or a geometric average value. The operation of "take a certain value between K and K +1 as the final result" can be performed by the timing control module 11, and can be determined by the skilled person.
For example, as shown in fig. 9, the display system uses the pixel cell shown in fig. 2, the comparison voltage is a DAC input value, first, a value is selected at the DAC input end, and after the value is assumed to start from 0, the DAC converts the DAC into an analog signal (voltage) corresponding to the value 0 and outputs the analog signal to the negative input end of the comparator 52, and the signal to be detected (i.e., the feedback voltage) is input to the positive input end of the comparator 52. If the result is 0, the selected voltage of the DAC is indicated to be higher, but the input of the DAC is already 0 and can not be lower any more, and the voltage which needs to be detected by the input is indicated to be beyond the detectable range. If 1, it means that the voltage selected by the DAC is not enough, k needs to be added to the input value of the DAC in the next comparison. Where k is an integer other than 0, e.g., 1. If the next round of comparison still yields a 1, the DAC input value is again raised until the output of the comparator 52 is 0, indicating that the voltage corresponding to the input value selected by the DAC has exceeded the detected signal at the positive input of the comparator, which is the first flip.
As shown in fig. 9, the DAC value starts from 0 and the final achieved state should be: when the DAC value rises to K +1, the output result of the comparator 52 is 0, which indicates that the voltage selected by the DAC is larger than the compared voltage, and then the voltage selected by the DAC is reduced by 1 in the next comparison; when the DAC value drops to K, the output result of the comparator 52 is 1, which indicates that the voltage selected by the DAC is smaller than the compared voltage, and then the voltage selected by the DAC is increased by 1 in the next comparison; the above steps are repeated to achieve stability. Finally, the input value of the whole DAC is stabilized to jump between K and K +1, and the compared voltage is between the voltages corresponding to K and K + 1.
Alternatively, the negative input terminal of the comparator 52 may be set as the first input terminal and the positive input terminal may be set as the second input terminal according to the actual requirements of the circuit design. Then, St3 compares the feedback voltage with the comparison voltage by:
when the row scan driver 20 performs the write channel for gating the pixel units on the nth row in the first scan, the comparator 52 compares the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage;
if the output result of the comparator 52 comparing the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage in the first scanning is 0, when the line scan driver 20 performs the n-th line writing channel in the second scanning, the comparison voltage is controlled to increase by the preset value k; if the result of comparing the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage by the comparator 52 in the first scanning is 1, controlling the comparison voltage to decrease by the preset value k when the nth row writing channel is gated again in the second scanning by the row scanning driver 20;
after the comparator 52 compares the comparison voltage with the feedback voltage and outputs a result that is inverted for the first time when the line scan driver 20 performs a certain scanning round, if the result is inverted to 0 to 1 for the first time, when the nth line write channel is next gated, the comparison voltage is controlled to be reduced by 1; if the first inversion is 1 to 0, controlling the comparison voltage to increase by 1 when the nth row writing channel is gated next time;
the row scanning driver 20 continues to repeatedly perform multiple scanning strobes on the pixel units in the 1 st row to the Nth row, and when the writing channel in the nth row is strobed again, if the result of the last comparison is 0, the comparison voltage is controlled to be increased by 1; if the result of the last comparison is 1, the comparison voltage is controlled to be reduced by 1;
the line scan driver 20 continues to repeatedly perform multiple scanning strobes on the pixel units in the 1 st to nth rows until the writing channel in the nth row is subsequently strobed, and if the feedback voltage is compared with the comparison voltage with the value of K +1 to output a result of 1 and the feedback voltage is compared with the comparison voltage with the value of K to output a result of 0, then a certain value between K and K +1 is taken as a final result. For example, an intermediate value between K and K +1, an average value, a value K, or a value K +1 may be used as the detection result, and the solution of the average value includes calculating an arithmetic mean value or a geometric mean value.
The system of the feedback signal detection method is an out-of-pixel compensation single DAC display system, utilizes a digital-to-analog converter matched with a comparator to detect information (such as aging information) fed back by a target pixel unit, can perform various detections on devices such as TFT, OLED, QLED and the like, for example, the detections on the problems of device aging, uneven threshold voltage, uneven driving and the like, and is suitable for various products such as AMOLED, OLED-on-Silicon, QLED-on-Silicon, PMOLED, LCD driving chips, OLED lighting driving chips and the like.
