Detailed Description
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the architecture of the driver IC. Referring to fig. 2, due to product characteristics, the number of Source Amplifier (SOP) in the display driver ic is determined according to the resolution of the display device to be driven, for example, in a vertical (port) panel, the number of data lines is 2160(720 × 3) at the resolution of HD real RGB (1280 × 720), and the number of data lines is 3240 (1080) at the resolution of FHD real RGB (1920 × 1080). In consideration of production cost, the resistor voltage division in fig. 2 is to transmit the voltage to a huge number of source amplifiers SOP as a shared reference voltage source through a GAMMA OP amplifier (GOP), and determine what voltage each source amplifier SOP is to drive to the display device through a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) controlled by display data. It is understood that the source amplifier SOP may also be referred to as a tft (thin Film transistor) source signal amplifier.
Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating the transmission path of the GAMMA voltage inside the display driver ic. Referring to fig. 3, 300 shows the loading of the GAMMA op amp GOP; 301 represents a long-distance running wire parasitic resistance (global GAMMA long wire routing) of the GAMMA voltage; 302 represents the parasitic capacitance of the source amplifier SOP differential input pair. As the process metal layer used by the display driver ic becomes thinner (the resistance of the metal routing becomes larger and larger under the same process conditions), the ability of the GAMMA op-amp GOP to drive the SOP input of the source amplifier becomes a main factor limiting the driving speed. With the display driver ic architecture shown in fig. 3, the load 300 of the GAMMA op-amp GOP is gradually dominated by the long-run parasitic resistor 301 that transmits the GAMMA voltage inside the display driver ic and the parasitic capacitance 302 of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP. When the load is larger, the input signal speed of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP is too slow, and the slew rate (slew rate) is too low, further affecting the driving speed of the display driving integrated circuit.
Under the same process conditions, the parasitic capacitance 302 of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP is highly related to the size of the transistor, and the random mismatch of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP is an important factor for the display quality of the display driver ic, and the solution of the random mismatch can be suppressed by increasing the critical device area, thereby failing to reduce the parasitic capacitance 302 of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP. This also leads to a critical reason why the load 300 seen by the GAMMA op-amp GOP cannot be reduced. Further resulting in insufficient signal climbing capability, which may cause the signal to be too late to reach the target voltage in the case of high resolution.
To be understood by those skilled in the art, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of the transmission path of the GAMMA voltage inside the display driver ic. Referring to fig. 4, in this example, the circuit architecture of fig. 3 is simplified to a resistance-capacitance model (RC model), wherein the reference numeral R1 is the long-distance line parasitic impedance of the GAMMA voltage; reference Ron is the transistor on-resistance of the digital-to-analog converter DAC; c1 is the parasitic capacitance of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP.
As is clear to those skilled in the art with reference to fig. 4, when the long-distance-line parasitic resistance R1 for transmitting the GAMMA voltage is larger, the influence of the thrust of the GAMMA operational amplifier GOP on the reaction speed of the node P1 is smaller if the parasitic capacitance C1 of the differential input pair of the source amplifier SOP is large. Therefore, under the limited condition of improving the long-distance stray impedance R1, for example, considering the manufacturing cost of the display driver ic, if the response speed of the node P1 is to be increased, the charging/discharging behavior of the node P1 or the load structure of the gama operational amplifier GOP driver must be changed.
Fig. 5 is a circuit block diagram of a display device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 5, the display device includes a display panel 501 and a display driving circuit 502. The display driving circuit 502 is coupled to the display panel 501 to drive the display panel 501. Fig. 6 is a circuit block diagram of the display driving circuit 502 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 6, the display driving circuit 502 includes a GAMMA output circuit 601, a plurality of digital-to-analog converters DAC, a plurality of source amplifiers SOP, and at least one pre-charge circuit 602. In fig. 6, the number of the precharge circuits 602 is plural, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The GAMMA output circuit 601 is used for outputting GAMMA voltages of a plurality of gray scales. Each digital-to-analog converter DAC receives the GAMMA voltage output from the GAMMA output circuit 601 and provides an output data voltage to the corresponding source amplifier SOP according to the display data. The input terminal of the source amplifier SOP is correspondingly coupled to the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC to receive the corresponding output data voltage. The pre-charge circuit 602 is coupled between the input terminal of the source amplifier SOP and the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC, and is used for pre-charging the input terminal of the coupled source amplifier SOP, so that the output terminal of the coupled source amplifier SOP can quickly reflect the received output data voltage.
Fig. 7 is a detailed circuit block diagram of the display driving circuit 502 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 7, in order to clearly understand the present invention, in this embodiment, the original circuit is simplified intentionally, the GAMMA output circuit 601 only shows a portion of the GAMMA operational amplifier GOP, the impedance of the resistor network portion of the GAMMA output circuit 601 is only represented by the resistor R1', and in this embodiment, only one set of the digital-to-analog converter DAC and the source amplifier SOP is shown to facilitate the explanation of the spirit of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the pre-charging circuit 602 includes a control circuit 701, a first switch circuit SW1, a second switch circuit SW2, a selection circuit 702, an analog buffer circuit AOP, and a voltage supply circuit 703. The voltage providing circuit 703 is used for providing a plurality of sets of voltages V1, V2, V3 …. The first switch circuit SW1 is coupled between the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP and the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC. The selection circuit 702 includes a plurality of input terminals and an output terminal. The input terminals of the selection circuit 702 receive the voltages V1, V2, and V3 …, respectively, and the output terminal of the selection circuit 702 is coupled to the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP through the analog buffer circuit AOP and the second switch circuit SW 2.
When the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage, the control circuit 701 controls the first switch circuit SW1 to open the circuit between the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP and the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC, and at this time, the output terminal of the GAMMA operational amplifier GOP is loaded with only R1', so that the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC can rapidly rise to the output data voltage. Meanwhile, during the time when the first switch circuit SW1 is turned off, the control circuit 701 controls the second switch circuit SW2 to be turned on, and at this time, the control circuit 701 controls the selection circuit 702 to provide a set of specific voltages VP similar to the output data voltage, and the current driving capability is increased through the analog buffer circuit AOP to pre-charge the parasitic capacitor C1' at the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP. Thereafter, the control circuit 702 controls the first switch circuit SW1 to be turned on, and the second switch circuit SW2 to be turned off. At this point normal operation resumes. By the pre-charging technology, the response speed of the source amplifier SOP to the output data voltage input by the input end of the source amplifier SOP can be accelerated, and the display panel with higher resolution or higher update rate can be driven. In an embodiment, the time for the pre-charge circuit 602 to pre-charge the source amplifier SOP may be a default time before the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage, or a default time after the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage, or a default time around the time before and after the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art from the foregoing description of the embodiments, if the voltage supply circuit 703 can supply a voltage with a relatively stable and high driving capability, the analog buffer circuit AOP can be omitted. Meanwhile, since the selection circuit 702 is a switch network, the second switch circuit SW2 may be omitted when the analog buffer circuit AOP is not provided. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described circuit.
Fig. 8 is another detailed circuit block diagram of the display driver circuit 502 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 8, in this embodiment, the original circuit is also simplified, the GAMMA output circuit 601 is only shown as part of the GAMMA operational amplifier GOP, the impedance of the resistor network part of the GAMMA output circuit 601 is only represented by the resistor R1', and in this embodiment, only one set of the DAC and the source amplifier SOP is shown to facilitate the explanation of the spirit of the present invention. In addition, in this embodiment, the pre-charge circuit 602 includes a control circuit 801, a first switch circuit SW1, a second switch circuit SW2 and an analog buffer circuit AOP.
When the digital-to-analog converter DAC supplies the output data voltage, the control circuit 801 controls the first switch circuit SW1 to open the circuit between the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP and the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC, and at this time, the output terminal of the GAMMA operational amplifier GOP is almost loaded only with R1', so that the output terminal of the digital-to-analog converter DAC can rapidly rise to the output data voltage. At the same time, that is, during the time when the first switch circuit SW1 is turned off, the control circuit 801 controls the second switch circuit SW2 to be turned on, and at this time, the analog buffer circuit AOP quickly pre-charges the parasitic capacitor C1' at the positive input terminal of the source amplifier SOP according to the output data voltage received at the input terminal thereof. Thereafter, the control circuit 702 controls the first switch circuit SW1 to be turned on, and the second switch circuit SW2 to be turned off. At this point normal operation resumes. By the pre-charging technology, the response speed of the source amplifier SOP to the output data voltage input by the input end of the source amplifier SOP can be accelerated, and the display panel with higher resolution or higher update rate can be driven. In an embodiment, the time for the pre-charge circuit 602 to pre-charge the source amplifier SOP may be a default time before the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage, or a default time after the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage, or a default time around the time before and after the digital-to-analog converter DAC provides the output data voltage. This time may be controlled by a timing controller, for example.
