Currently, the main current LED driving modes include a common-negative type LED driving chip and a common-positive type LED driving chip, and the common-negative type LED driving chip is shown in fig. 1. Common cathode means that the cathodes of all LEDs in each row (Scan) are all tied together (source of common cathode) and the cathodes are controlled by row switches to control whether they are tied to ground or not; the anode of each LED is connected to the current channel of the common cathode LED driving chip, and the switching of the channel is controlled by the column switch of the LED Channel (CHN). Since the premise of LED turn-on is that the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode of the LED reaches VF value, it can be seen from fig. 1 that taking LED11 as an example, if LED11 is desired to turn on, the row switch in Scan1 needs to be turned on first, so that the cathode of LED is grounded; in addition, the current channel above led11 needs to be turned on, so that the parasitic capacitance at the anode node of led can be charged by the current above led until the anode voltage of led11 reaches VF value, at which point led11 is turned on. If all 3 leds of the first row are in the lighting stage, i.e. the row switch in Scan1 is turned on at this time, but led11 is required to be turned off at this time, only the column switch above led11 needs to be turned off, and leds 12 and 13 are still turned on. The above is the working principle of the common cathode type LED driving chip. The principle of the common positive type LED driving chip is the same as that of the common negative type LED driving chip, and all the LED anodes of each row are connected together at the moment, and whether the LED anodes are connected to a power supply or not is controlled through a row switch in Scan.
In order to improve the display effect of the LED, a shadow eliminating circuit, a pre-driving circuit and a clamping circuit are usually disposed in the LED driving chip, and the reason why the shadow eliminating circuit, the pre-driving circuit and the clamping circuit are disposed will be described below by taking the common-cathode LED driving chip as an example.
Because parasitic capacitance exists in the row lines and the column lines in the LED array, the parasitic capacitance is derived from the PCB wiring of the lamp panel. The capacitor has a basic characteristic, namely, the characteristic of storing charge, after the capacitor is charged for a certain time, corresponding charges are stored on two polar plates of the capacitor, if the capacitor is charged by disconnecting at the moment, the charges on the upper polar plate and the lower polar plate of the capacitor cannot disappear at the moment, namely, the voltage of the capacitor before the disconnection can be continuously maintained. These parasitic capacitances can cause the LED to ghost, i.e., the LED that is not lit will still emit light, during the LED panel display.
The mechanism of generating the ghost (column ghost) of the common-cathode LED driving chip is shown in fig. 3, assuming that when the row switch of the first row is turned on, LED11/LED12/LED13 is all turned on, at this time, since all channels have current output, and the positive electrode of LED11/LED12/LED13 is all charged and pulled high, i.e. the voltage at point a is high, after the first row display is finished, the row switch in Scan1 is turned off, and the second row display is started, at this time, the row switch in Scan2 is turned on, and the cathode of LED21/LED22/LED23 is pulled down to ground, assuming that only LED21/LED23 is turned on in this row display, and LED22 is not displayed, i.e. the column switch above LED22 is turned off. Theoretically, the positive electrode of led22 should be at a low level, led22 will not light up, but because of the parasitic capacitance of channel 2 (CHN 2), point a is already charged to a high voltage when the first row is turned on, and when the second row is turned on, since the voltage at point a will still maintain the previous high voltage, there is still a voltage difference between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of led22 at this time, and this voltage difference may cause led22 to turn on, i.e., led22 will also light up for a period of time, after a period of discharge, the voltage at point a decreases until the voltage between the voltage at point a and ground is less than the turn-on Voltage (VF) of led22, at which point led22 is turned off. As can be seen from the above analysis, led22 will still light up for a period of time at this extinction due to the parasitic capacitance of the channel, and this state of lighting up for this period of time is called ghosting, or column ghosting.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that in the LED display process, due to the influence of parasitic capacitances on the row lines and the column lines, ghosts appear in the display process, and the display effect is affected, so that a circuit is required to be designed to eliminate the ghosts, namely, a deghosting circuit.
As shown in fig. 4, the LED can be turned on only when the LED has an on voltage VF, i.e., the difference between the positive and negative voltages of the LED is greater than VF. Taking led13 as an example in fig. 4, the precondition that led13 can normally light is that the pressure difference between the AB nodes is greater than VF; when the row switch in Scan1 is turned on, the voltage at point B is 0, and when the CHN3 channel is turned on, led13 will not be turned on immediately, but it is necessary to charge point a to VF before led13 is turned on normally, and this charging time is not desirable, because this time directly affects the display time, such as when the gray level is low, the start time of led13 set by the system is very short (10 ns), if the charging time at point a is too long, led13 may not be turned on within 10ns, resulting in gray level loss. Therefore, a pre-driving circuit is needed, and the pre-driving circuit is used for pre-charging the point A to a certain voltage through the pre-charging circuit before the turn-on signal of the led13 arrives, and the voltage basically reaches the VF value required by the turn-on of the led13, so that the point A can be charged to the VF voltage in a short time after the turn-on signal of the led13 arrives, and the led13 can be quickly lightened. The pre-driving circuit is generally realized by an operational amplifier.
As shown in fig. 5, each LED has a parasitic capacitance, and when the row switch in Scan1 is turned on and the row switches in Scan2 and Scan3 are turned off, the cathodes of all the LEDs on the row lines of Scan2 and Scan3 are in a floating state, which is very susceptible to signal coupling interference. In specific operation, led11 is turned off on Scan1 line, and the anode of led11 floats. When led13 is turned on, the point a will be pulled up rapidly, and since the whole CHN3 column line is the same line, the point a will increase the row line voltage of Scan2/Scan3 through the self capacitance of led23/led33, and then increase the whole column line voltage of CHN1 through the self capacitance of led21/led31, i.e. the anode voltage of led11 will be pulled up due to the series of coupling effects, if the coupling effects are large enough, the anode voltage of led11 will be pulled up to above VF, and led11 that should be turned off at this time will be turned on by mistake. The reason for the coupling is that the row lines Scan2 and Scan3 are in a floating state when they are disconnected, and thus the interference is easily received. The solution is that when the row line is disconnected, the row line is clamped at a proper voltage value through a clamping circuit and does not change along with coupling interference of other signals, or the anode of led11 is clamped at a proper voltage value and does not change along with coupling interference of other signals. The clamping circuit is generally realized by an operational amplifier.
At present, the clamp circuit, the pre-drive circuit and the shadow eliminating circuit are all made inside the chip, as shown in fig. 6, taking the channel of the common-negative type LED driving chip as an example, in the figure, the shadow eliminating circuit, the clamp circuit and the pre-drive circuit are respectively formed by 3 different circuits, and as the three circuits are all applied to one node of the point a, different on-time needs to be set for the 3 circuits, namely, the 3 circuits cannot be simultaneously started.
Generally, for an LED driving chip, the timing sequence of shadow elimination, clamping and pre-driving on a channel is shown in fig. 7, and it can be seen from fig. 7 that in the whole display process, besides the display stage, there are three stages, namely, a shadow elimination stage, a clamping stage and a pre-driving stage, for better improving the display effect. All three of these stages consume additional display time. And because 3 different circuits are needed to complete the functions of 3 different stages, the consumption of hardware is larger, and a large chip area is occupied, so that the waste of the chip cost is caused.
In view of the above problems, taking the channel of the LED driving chip as an example, as shown in fig. 8 (the channel of the common-cathode LED driving chip) and fig. 9 (the channel of the common-anode LED driving chip), the embodiment of the present application provides an LED display effect enhancing circuit 10, which includes a switch module 100 and a selection module 200. One end of the switch module 100 is electrically connected between the column driving circuit of the LED driving chip and the column scanning line of the LED array. The selection module 200 is electrically connected to the other end of the switch module 100. The selection module 200 is used for outputting a clamp voltage signal or a pre-drive voltage signal to the switching module 100. When the column driving circuit of the LED driving chip is disconnected from the column scanning lines of the LED array, the selecting module 200 is configured to output a clamping voltage signal or a pre-driving voltage signal to the column scanning lines of the LED array through the switching module 100, so as to perform shadow elimination, clamping or pre-driving on the column scanning lines of the LED array.
Specifically, when the selection module 200 is used to output a clamp voltage signal to the column scan lines of the LED array through the switching module 100, a clamp (deghosting) mode is entered at this time to deghost and clamp the column scan lines of the LED array. The method and the device have the advantages that the shadow eliminating function is completed through the clamping voltage signal, and clamping is directly performed after the shadow eliminating function is completed.
When the selection module 200 is used to output the pre-driving voltage signal to the column scan lines of the LED array through the switching module 100, a pre-driving mode will be entered at this time to pre-drive the column scan lines of the LED array. The pre-driving function is completed through the pre-driving voltage signal.
From the above, it can be seen that the LED display effect enhancing circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can complete three functions of shadow elimination (clamping) and pre-driving, simplifying the circuit structure, saving the area of the LED driving chip, and further reducing the cost of the LED driving chip.
As shown in fig. 10 and 11, the selection module 200 includes a selection unit 201 and a voltage follower unit 202. The voltage follower unit 202 is electrically connected to the other end of the switch module 100 and the selection unit 201, respectively. The selection unit 201 is configured to output a clamp voltage signal or a pre-drive voltage signal to the voltage follower unit 202. The voltage follower unit 202 is used for providing a driving capability of a clamp voltage signal or a pre-drive voltage signal.
Specifically, the switch module 100 is configured to receive the first control signal pwm_enb, and when the column driving circuit of the LED driving chip is disconnected from the column scanning line of the LED array (i.e., the column switch CHNS in the column driving circuit is disconnected according to the control signal pwm_en), the switch module 100 is configured to be turned on according to the first control signal pwm_enb.
The selection unit 201 is configured to receive a second control signal clamp_en, a CLAMP voltage signal clamp_vref, and a PRE-drive voltage signal pre_drv_vref. When the second control signal clamp_en is the first level signal, a CLAMP (deghosting) mode will be entered at this time, and the selecting unit 201 is configured to output the CLAMP voltage signal clamp_vref to the column scan lines of the LED array through the voltage following unit 202 to deghost and CLAMP the column scan lines of the LED array. The CLAMP voltage signal clamp_VREF is used for completing the shadow eliminating function, and clamping is directly performed after the shadow eliminating function is completed. Wherein the first level signal is a high level signal.
When the second control signal clamp_en is the second level signal, a PRE-driving mode will be entered at this time, and the selecting unit 201 is configured to output the PRE-driving voltage signal pre_drv_vref to the column scan lines of the LED array through the voltage following unit 202 to PRE-drive the column scan lines of the LED array. The PRE-driving function is completed through a PRE-driving voltage signal PRE_DRV_VREF. Wherein the second level signal is a low level signal.
When the LED driving chip is a common-cathode LED driving chip, the pre-driving voltage signal is a charging voltage signal. When the LED driving chip is a common-anode type LED driving chip, the pre-driving voltage signal is a discharging voltage signal.
From the above, the LED display effect improving circuit 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can perform three functions of shadow elimination (clamping) and pre-driving, simplifying the circuit structure, saving the area of the LED driving chip, and further reducing the cost of the LED driving chip; meanwhile, the display effect of the LED is improved.
In addition, in the aspect of time sequence control, the time sequence of the deghosting and the clamping is combined, as shown in fig. 12, namely, the purpose of deghosting is realized while multiplexing the clamping function, so that the effective display time can be improved.
When the column driving circuit of the LED driving chip acts on the column scanning line of the LED array (i.e., the column switch CHNS in the column driving circuit is turned on according to the control signal pwm_en), the switch module 100 is turned off according to the first control signal pwm_enb, and at this time, the LED display effect enhancing circuit 10 does not affect the column scanning line of the LED driving chip and does not affect the normal operation of the LED driving chip.
As shown in fig. 10 and 11, the selection unit 201 includes a selector MUX. The selector MUX is electrically connected to the voltage follower unit 202.
Specifically, the selection terminal of the selector MUX is configured to receive the second control signal clamp_en, and the first input terminal 1 of the selector MUX is configured to receive the CLAMP voltage signal clamp_vref. A second input terminal 0 of the selector MUX is for receiving the PRE-drive voltage signal pre_drv_vref, and an output terminal of the selector MUX is electrically connected to the voltage follower unit 202.
The selector MUX is mainly used for selecting corresponding voltage signals to output according to the second control signal clamp_en so as to complete the functions of shadow elimination (clamping) and pre-driving.
As shown in fig. 10 and 11, the voltage follower unit 202 includes an operational amplifier OPAMP. The noninverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OPAMP is electrically connected to the selection unit 201, and the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OPAMP is electrically connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier OPAMP and the other end of the switching module 100, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 10 and 11, the noninverting input terminal of the operational amplifier OPAMP is electrically connected to the output terminal of the selector MUX in the selecting unit 201.
Wherein the operational amplifier OPAMP is mainly used for providing the driving capability of the CLAMP voltage signal clamp_vref or the pre_drv_vref of the PRE-drive voltage signal to complete the deghosting (clamping) and PRE-drive functions.
As shown in fig. 10 and 11, the switch module 100 includes a first switch S1.
