Description
本揭示內容關於一種顯示裝置,特別是用以根據資料訊號及掃描訊號以驅動畫素電路之裝置。 The present disclosure relates to a display device, especially a device for driving a pixel circuit according to a data signal and a scanning signal.
平面顯示器因為具有高品質的影像顯示能力與低耗能之特性,而成為最普及的一種顯示裝置。基於製作成本的考量,顯示裝置的顯示面板中常會設置多工器以及驅動電路(例如:驅動IC)配合操作,使得驅動電路上的傳輸通道可以減少,同時,驅動電路的尺寸亦能因此而縮減。 The flat panel display has become the most popular display device because of its high-quality image display capability and low energy consumption. Due to manufacturing cost considerations, multiplexers and driver circuits (eg, driver ICs) are often provided in the display panel of the display device to cooperate with each other, so that the transmission channel on the driver circuit can be reduced, and the size of the driver circuit can be reduced accordingly. .
一般而言,顯示面板中的畫素可藉由不同的極性反轉方式來進行驅動,且多工器會依據相應的驅動方式交替地接收不同極性的操作電壓。因此,多工器的驅動方式,對於顯示面板的顯示品質有著最直接的影響。 Generally speaking, the pixels in the display panel can be driven by different polarity inversion methods, and the multiplexer will alternately receive operating voltages of different polarities according to the corresponding driving methods. Therefore, the driving method of the multiplexer has the most direct influence on the display quality of the display panel.

The display panel includes multiple data lines, multiple scan lines, and multiple pixel circuits. The data lines are used to receive multiple data signals, and the scan lines are used to receive multiple scan signals to drive the pixels Circuit. Any one of the pixel circuits includes a first driving switch, a second driving switch, and a pixel capacitor. The multiplexer is arranged on the display panel and used for transmitting the data signals to the data line. The multiplexer is used to sequentially receive multiple control signals, sequentially turn on multiple switches in the multiplexer, and sequentially transmit the data signals to the data lines. The first driving switch of the pixel circuit is used to selectively conduct according to the corresponding control signal. The second driving switch of the pixel circuit is used to selectively conduct according to the corresponding scan signal.
本揭示內容之另一態樣為一種顯示裝置,包含顯示面板及至少一個多工器。顯示面板包含多個資料線、多個掃描線及多個畫素電路。資料線用以接收多個資料訊號,該些掃描線用以接收多個掃描訊號,以驅動畫素電路。多工器設置於顯示面板上,用以傳遞資料訊號至資料線。多工器用以依序接收多個控制訊號,以依序開啟多工器中的多個切換開關,且依序將資料訊號傳遞至資料線。對應於該些資料線中同一者之畫素電路用以接收相應的控制訊號,以選擇性地傳輸相應的資料訊號至畫素電路。 Another aspect of the present disclosure is a display device including a display panel and at least one multiplexer. The display panel includes multiple data lines, multiple scan lines, and multiple pixel circuits. The data lines are used to receive multiple data signals, and the scan lines are used to receive multiple scan signals to drive the pixel circuit. The multiplexer is set on the display panel to transmit the data signal to the data line. The multiplexer is used to receive multiple control signals in sequence, sequentially turn on multiple switches in the multiplexer, and sequentially transmit data signals to the data line. The pixel circuits corresponding to the same of the data lines are used to receive corresponding control signals to selectively transmit the corresponding data signals to the pixel circuits.
本揭示內容之顯示裝置係透過控制訊號開啟切換開關,同時,將控制訊號一併傳送給同一資料線的所有畫素電路,據此,在一個顯示週期中,多工器中的每一個切換開關的開關次數將能被減少,使多工器的負載效應不會對資料線的充放電速度造成負面影響。 The display device of the present disclosure turns on the switch through the control signal, and at the same time, sends the control signal to all the pixel circuits of the same data line. According to this, in a display cycle, each switch in the multiplexer The number of switching times can be reduced, so that the load effect of the multiplexer will not negatively affect the charging and discharging speed of the data line.

請參閱第1圖所示,係根據本揭示內容之部分實施例所繪示之顯示裝置100示意圖。在部分實施例中,顯示裝置100包含顯示面板110及至少一個多工器120。顯示面板110包含複數條資料線DL、複數條掃描線GL及複數個畫素電路200。畫素電路200係以陣列方式排列於顯示區域111內。顯示裝置100用以根據影像資料,產生複數個資料訊號Sd1~Sd3及複數個掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn,並透過資料線DL及掃描線GL,傳送資料訊號Sd1~Sd3及掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn給畫素電路200,以驅動畫素電路200顯示出影像畫面。
Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a
在部分實施例中,顯示裝置100更包含控制電路130、源極驅動器131及掃描驅動器132。控制電路130用以根據影像資料來驅動源極驅動器131及掃描驅動器132,使源極驅動器131發送資料訊號Sd1~Sd3、掃描驅動器132發送掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn。為使圖式簡潔,在第1圖中僅繪示出源極驅動器131的一個輸出端,並用以示意說明顯示裝置100的運作方式,但在其他實施例中,顯示裝置100可具有複數個多工器120,且源極驅動器131可具有複數個輸出端。
In some embodiments, the
多工器120設置於顯示面板110上鄰近於顯示區域111的位置,用以傳遞資料訊號Sd1~Sd3至資料線DL。如第1圖所示,源極驅動器131的一個輸出端透過多工器120對應至複數條條資料線DL,多工器120包含複數個切
換開關121,每個切換開關121用以導通一條資料線DL,用以驅動同一直列的畫素電路200。在本實施例中,多工器120包含三個切換開關121,分別對應於一條資料線DL。切換開關121相對應之資料線DL用以分別傳遞紅色畫素資料訊號、綠色畫素資料訊號及藍色畫素資料訊號,該些畫素資料訊號能組成視覺效果上的一個畫素點。在其他實施例中,源極驅動器131中切換開關121的數量可任意調整,例如:四個切換開關121,分別透過資料線DL傳遞紅色、藍色、綠色及黃色的畫素資料。
The
在部分實施例中,多工器120用以依序接收控制訊號MUX1~MUX3,以依序開啟各個切換開關121,且依序將資料訊號Sd1~Sd3傳遞至對應之資料線DL。對應於同一條資料線DL的畫素電路200(即,同一直列之畫素電路200)用以接收相應的該控制訊號MUX1~MUX3,以選擇性地傳輸相應的資料訊號Sd1~Sd3至畫素電路200。
In some embodiments, the
請參閱第1及2圖所示,在部分實施例中,切換開關121之控制端121a電性連接於控制電路130,以接收控制訊號MUX1~MUX3。切換開關121之第一端121b電性連接於源極驅動器131,以接收資料訊號Sd1~Sd3。切換開關121之第二端121c則電性連接到資料線DL。如此,當控制訊號MUX1~MUX3為致能訊號時,切換開關121將可導通,以將資料訊號Sd1~Sd3傳遞至同一直列的畫素電路200。此外,在部分實施例中,多工器120更包含複數條控制線CL,控制線CL分別對應於資料線DL,其第一端用以
接收控制訊號MUX1~MUX3,其第二端則電性連接至同一直列之畫素電路200的驅動開關。以在控制控制訊號MUX1~MUX3為致能訊號時,對應之切換開關121以及對應之畫素電路200內的至少一個驅動開關將一併被致能,進而傳輸資料訊號Sd1~Sd3至畫素電路200內之電容器,以發出預期之光亮。
Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the control terminal 121 a of the
本揭示內容之顯示裝置100能透過多工器120依序開啟各個切換開關121,且在開啟切換開關121時,同時導通同一直列的畫素電路200中的至少一個驅動開關,如此,將能提升顯示面板110之整體顯示品質。
The
請參閱第3圖所示,係本揭示內容之部分實施例中,顯示裝置100的運作時序圖。傳統的驅動方法,是在一個週期中,依序發送掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn,以驅動每一橫排的畫素電路200。在驅動每一橫排的畫素電路200的期間,會再依序開啟各切換開關121。然而,由於多工器120具有大負載,因此在反覆開啟、關閉的過程中,將會使得資料線DL上充電、放電的速度受到影響。如第3及4圖所示,在本實施例中,係透過多工器120在一個幀週期F中透過控制訊號MUX1~MUX3依序開啟各切換開關121,同時驅動同一直列的畫素電路200。接著,在發送控制訊號MUX1~MUX3的期間,再依序發送掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn。如此,由於每個切換開關121開啟及關閉的次數較少,因此能避免切換開關121之負載效應對於資料線DL充電速度的影響,從而提升了顯示裝置100的顯示品質。
Please refer to FIG. 3, which is an operation timing diagram of the
請參閱第4圖所示,在部分實施例中,顯示裝置100的一個幀週期F更可區分為紅色顯示期間PR、綠色顯示期間PG及藍色顯示期間PB。舉例而言,當第4圖中最左方之切換開關121透過控制訊號MUX1而被導通時,此時顯示裝置100將處於紅色顯示期間PR,此時,掃描驅動器132將逐一發送掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn,使同一直列的畫素電路200產生出對應光亮。而其他直列之畫素電路200則將保持關閉。
Please refer to FIG. 4. In some embodiments, one frame period F of the
請參閱第1~3圖所示,在部分實施例中,畫素電路200包含第一驅動開關T1、第二驅動開關T2及畫素電容C,驅動開關T1、T2可為電晶體開關,例如:薄膜電晶體(Thin-Film Transistor,TFT),且畫素電容C可包含複數個相互並聯之電容器。該些畫素電路200的第一驅動開關T1用以根據相應的控制訊號MUX1~MUX3選擇性地導通,第二驅動開關T2用以根據相應的掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn選擇性地導通。當畫素電路200同時接收到控制訊號MUX1~MUX3及掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn時,即會被導通,而接收資料訊號Sd1~Sd3。
Please refer to FIGS. 1-3. In some embodiments, the
承上,在部分實施例中,第一驅動開關T1之控制端電性連接於控制線CL,第二驅動開關T2的控制端則電性連接於掃描線GL。由於第一驅動開關T1及第二驅動開關T2的控制端分別接收不同的訊號(即,控制訊號MUX1~MUX3與掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn),因此,能確保不同直列的畫素電路200中的驅動開關不會同時被導通。舉例而言,
如第3及4圖所示,當紅色顯示期間PR時,控制訊號MUX1為致能訊號、控制訊號MUX2、MUX3為禁能訊號。因此,當掃描驅動器132向同一條掃描線GL發送掃描訊號Sg1時,仍只有對應於控制訊號MUX1的畫素電路200會被驅動,而接收資料訊號Sd1。
As mentioned above, in some embodiments, the control terminal of the first drive switch T1 is electrically connected to the control line CL, and the control terminal of the second drive switch T2 is electrically connected to the scan line GL. Since the control ends of the first driving switch T1 and the second driving switch T2 receive different signals (ie, the control signals MUX1~MUX3 and the scanning signals Sg1~Sgn), the driving in the
請參閱第2圖所示,在部分實施例中,畫素電路200之第二驅動開關T2串接於第一驅動開關T1及畫素電容C之間。而在其他部分實施例中,如第5圖所示,畫素電路200之第一驅動開關T1串接於第二驅動開關T2及畫素電容C之間。據此,由於被控制訊號MUX1~MUX3所控制之第一驅動電晶體T1被移動到畫素電路200中較內側的位置,因此,將能改善第一驅動電晶體T1的劣化(Stress)問題。
Please refer to FIG. 2. In some embodiments, the second driving switch T2 of the
另外,請參閱第3圖所示,在部分實施例中,該些掃描訊號Sg1~Sgn之致能期間於時序上部分重疊。舉例而言,如第2圖所示,在部分實施例中,掃描訊號Sg1的後半段致能時間與掃描訊號Sg2的前半段致能時間相重疊。透過此一「重疊(Overlapping)」的驅動方式,將能使資料線DL有更充裕的時間進行充電,且將資料訊號Sd1~Sd3寫入至畫素電路200中。
In addition, please refer to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the enable periods of the scan signals Sg1~Sgn partially overlap in timing. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the enabling time of the second half of the scanning signal Sg1 overlaps with the enabling time of the first half of the scanning signal Sg2. Through this "overlapping" driving method, the data line DL can be charged for more time, and the data signals Sd1~Sd3 are written into the
