Description

顯示器驅動方法及顯示器驅動電路 Display driving method and display driving circuit

本發明是有關於一種驅動方法及驅動電路,且特別是有關於一種顯示器驅動方法及顯示器驅動電路。 The present invention relates to a driving method and a driving circuit, and more particularly to a display driving method and a display driving circuit.

針對多媒體社會之急速進步,多半受惠於半導體元件或顯示裝置的飛躍性進步。就顯示器而言,具有高畫質、空間利用效率佳、低消耗功率、無輻射等優越特性之液晶液晶顯示器(Liquid Crystal Display)已逐漸成為市場之主流。而在此先值得一提的是,以現今液晶顯示器的驅動架構中,通常以交流模式的共電極電位(AC mode common voltage)之驅動架構(例如為線反轉的驅動方式)驅動現有中、小尺寸的液晶顯示面板(LCD panel),而以直流模式的共電極電位(DC mode common voltage)之驅動架構(例如為點反轉顯示技術)驅動現有較大尺寸的液晶顯示面板。 For the rapid advancement of the multimedia society, most of them benefit from the dramatic advancement of semiconductor components or display devices. As far as the display is concerned, a liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display) having superior characteristics such as high image quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and no radiation has gradually become the mainstream of the market. What is worth mentioning here is that in the drive architecture of today's liquid crystal displays, the drive mode of the AC mode common voltage (for example, the drive mode of line reversal) is usually driven in the existing mode. A small-sized liquid crystal display panel (LCD panel) drives a conventional large-sized liquid crystal display panel in a DC mode common voltage driving structure (for example, dot inversion display technology).

然而,若以交流模式共電極電位之驅動架構驅動現有中、小尺寸的液晶顯示面板時,雖可致使液晶顯示器整體的消耗功率降低,但是液晶顯示器最終所呈現的畫面品質並不會很精 緻。另外,若以直流模式共電極電位之驅動架構驅動現有較大尺寸的液晶顯示面板時,雖然可改善液晶顯示器的畫面品質,但是液晶顯示器整體的消耗功率也會隨之增加。另一方面,若要提昇顯示品質,以一般固定的交流模式或直流模式的共電極電位之驅動方式亦已不敷使用。 However, if the current medium and small size liquid crystal display panel is driven by the AC mode common electrode potential driving structure, the overall power consumption of the liquid crystal display may be reduced, but the final picture quality of the liquid crystal display is not very fine. To. Further, when a conventional large-sized liquid crystal display panel is driven by a DC-mode common electrode potential driving structure, the picture quality of the liquid crystal display can be improved, but the overall power consumption of the liquid crystal display also increases. On the other hand, if the display quality is to be improved, the driving method of the common electrode potential in the general fixed AC mode or the DC mode is also insufficient.

圖1A繪示本發明一實施例之顯示器的方塊示意圖。請 參考圖1A,本實施例之顯示器100包括驅動電路110及顯示面板120。驅動電路110接收視訊影像訊號(未繪示),並據此驅動顯示面板120顯示對應的影像內容。在本實施例中,除了閘極驅動單元111及源極驅動單元113以外,驅動電路110包括一時序電路112、一共電極電位產生單元114、一共電極電位控制單元116以及一參考電壓產生單元118。 FIG. 1A is a block diagram of a display according to an embodiment of the invention. please Referring to FIG. 1A, the display 100 of the present embodiment includes a driving circuit 110 and a display panel 120. The driving circuit 110 receives the video image signal (not shown), and drives the display panel 120 to display the corresponding image content. In the present embodiment, in addition to the gate driving unit 111 and the source driving unit 113, the driving circuit 110 includes a sequential circuit 112, a common electrode potential generating unit 114, a common electrode potential controlling unit 116, and a reference voltage generating unit 118.

顯示面板120係包括一畫素陣列,並由閘極驅動單元111及源極驅動單元113完成其顯示資料掃瞄與資料寫入之功能。共電極電位Vcom係由共電極電位產生單元114、共電極電位控制單元116及參考電壓產生單元118協力產生。電極電位控制單元116係控制共電極電位產生單元114,以使其產生不同的共電極電位Vcom。而參考電壓產生單元118則提供共電極電位產生單元114產生共電極電位Vcom的過程中所需之一或多個參考電壓。 The display panel 120 includes a pixel array, and the gate driving unit 111 and the source driving unit 113 perform the functions of displaying data scanning and data writing. The common electrode potential Vcom is generated in cooperation by the common electrode potential generating unit 114, the common electrode potential control unit 116, and the reference voltage generating unit 118. The electrode potential control unit 116 controls the common electrode potential generating unit 114 to generate different common electrode potentials Vcom. The reference voltage generating unit 118 supplies one or more reference voltages required in the process in which the common electrode potential generating unit 114 generates the common electrode potential Vcom.

在共電極電位控制單元116之控制下,共電極電位產生單元114以一共電極電位切換時間單位Tu為一重複時間單位,提供共電極電位Vcom給顯示面板120,以定義其電壓基準。電極電位切換時間單位Tu係由多個不同類型的複數個共電極電位型態區間構成,而於不同類型的該等共電極電位型態區間中,所被提供之該共電極電位Vcom分別具有不同的交流電壓擺幅或直流電壓位準。另外,共電極電位切換時間單位Tu則可由時序電路112產生,並提供至共電極電位產生單元114及共電極電位控制單元116Tu。 Under the control of the common electrode potential control unit 116, the common electrode potential generating unit 114 supplies a common electrode potential Vcom to the display panel 120 with a common electrode potential switching time unit Tu as a repeating time unit to define its voltage reference. The electrode potential switching time unit Tu system is composed of a plurality of different types of common electrode potential type intervals, and the common electrode potentials Vcom are different in different types of the common electrode potential type intervals. AC voltage swing or DC voltage level. In addition, the common electrode potential switching time unit Tu may be generated by the timing circuit 112 and supplied to the common electrode potential generating unit 114 and the common electrode potential control unit 116Tu.

在共電極電位切換時間單位Tu的長度與當中的複數個共電極電位型態區間的內容可依據各種不同的設計需要來決定。舉例而言,共電極電位控制單元116較佳可根據顯示面板120上不同類型的極性分佈型態或不同的影像內容,來相應地控制共電極電位產生單元114提供具有不同的交流電壓擺幅或直流電壓位準的共電極電位Vcom至顯示面板120。換言之,可根據系統操作狀況,動態地變更共電極電位切換時間單位之種類(時間長度與內容),以達到系統操作的最佳化。 The content of the common electrode potential switching time unit Tu and the contents of the plurality of common electrode potential type intervals can be determined according to various design needs. For example, the common electrode potential control unit 116 can control the common electrode potential generating unit 114 to provide different AC voltage swings according to different types of polarity distribution patterns or different image contents on the display panel 120. The common electrode potential Vcom of the DC voltage level is to the display panel 120. In other words, the type (time length and content) of the common electrode potential switching time unit can be dynamically changed according to the operating conditions of the system to optimize the system operation.

In this embodiment, the common electrode potential control unit 116 includes an image determining unit 132 and a logic control unit 134. The image determining unit 132 determines the type of the polarity distribution pattern or the content of the image based on the image displayed on the display to provide a determination result. The logic control unit 134 controls the common electrode potential generating unit 114 to supply the common electrode potential Vcom having different AC voltage swings to the display panel 120 according to the determination result. In this way, the number of common electrode potential type intervals, the respective time lengths, and the AC voltage swings of the respective common electrode potentials Vcom can be determined according to different types of polarity distribution patterns or image contents on the display. .

以顯示器上不同類型的極性分佈型態而言,影像判斷單元13係接收一反轉參考訊號(未繪示),以獲得每一畫面期間顯示器的極性反轉模式。對應顯示器不同的極性反轉模式,共電極電位產生單元114可經由邏輯控制單元134來設定共電極電位Vcom 之交流電壓擺幅。在此,該反轉參考訊號可經由驅動電路110外部的前一級電路所產生,或者由源極驅動器113所提供。 In terms of different types of polarity distribution patterns on the display, the image determination unit 13 receives an inversion reference signal (not shown) to obtain a polarity inversion mode of the display during each picture. The common electrode potential generating unit 114 can set the common electrode potential Vcom via the logic control unit 134 corresponding to different polarity inversion modes of the display. The AC voltage swing. Here, the inversion reference signal may be generated via a previous stage circuit external to the drive circuit 110 or by the source driver 113.

另一方面,就顯示器上不同的影像內容而言,影像判斷單元134接收一視訊影像訊號(未繪示),以獲得每一畫面期間顯示器的所顯示影像內容之資訊,該資訊可包括影像畫面的影像解析度、影像亮度、影像頻譜分佈、影像色彩數、影像更新率或顯示模式(即2D影像或3D影像)等的影像內容特性。對應不同的影像內容,共電極電位產生單元114可經由邏輯控制單元134來設定共電極電位Vcom之交流電壓擺幅。在此,該視訊影像訊號可經由驅動電路110外部的前一級電路所產生,或者由源極驅動器113所提供。 On the other hand, for different video content on the display, the image determining unit 134 receives a video image signal (not shown) to obtain information of the displayed image content of the display during each frame, and the information may include an image frame. Image content characteristics such as image resolution, image brightness, image spectral distribution, image color number, image update rate, or display mode (ie, 2D image or 3D image). Corresponding to different image contents, the common electrode potential generating unit 114 can set the AC voltage swing of the common electrode potential Vcom via the logic control unit 134. Here, the video image signal may be generated by a previous stage circuit external to the driving circuit 110 or by the source driver 113.
