本發明係關於顯示面板之技術領域,尤指一種顯示面板的延伸伽瑪裝置及包含該延伸伽瑪裝置之顯示裝置。 The present invention relates to the technical field of display panels, in particular to an extended gamma device of a display panel and a display device including the extended gamma device.
一般伽瑪(Gamma)裝置是藉由R/G/B伽瑪查找表(Look Up Table)的綁點電壓設定,配合類比伽瑪電路運作產生R/G/B各階的源極(source)電壓值。其中支援8位元(bit)色深顯示的驅動晶片的伽瑪電路可產生0-255階R/G/B的源極電壓;支援10位元色深顯示的驅動晶片的伽瑪電路可產生0-1023階R/G/B的源極電壓。 Generally, Gamma devices use R/G/B gamma look-up table (Look Up Table) binding point voltage setting, and work with analog gamma circuit to generate R/G/B source voltages. value. Among them, the gamma circuit of the driver chip that supports 8-bit color depth display can generate 0-255 R/G/B source voltage; the gamma circuit of the driver chip that supports 10-bit color depth display can generate 0-1023 step R/G/B source voltage.

Mode, HBM) to correspond to the general gamma setting and HBM gamma setting. Among them, within the power consumption that the power chip can withstand, the HBM gamma setting will adjust the AMOLED display panel as bright as possible to meet the high-brightness requirements of the picture under high ambient light. The general gamma setting does not use the maximum brightness of the display panel, that is, within the voltage range that the display panel can withstand, there will be a small voltage interval that will not be used under the general gamma setting. Will cause the use of The highest dynamic range of AMOLED display panels cannot be achieved with general gamma settings.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the implementation of the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
圖1所示為本發明之顯示裝置,其包含有一顯示面板10、一顯示驅動裝置20、及一延伸伽瑪裝置30,其中,顯示面板10在顯示面的結構上為具有多數個畫素101,每一畫素101包含至少一特定顏色的次畫素,於一實施例中,該顯示面板10的每一畫素101是包含一
紅色次畫素、一綠色次畫素及一藍色次畫素,亦即,顯示面板10的畫素101所顯示的色彩是由紅色、綠色及藍色三種顏色所組合而成。而對於每一特定顏色,該延伸伽瑪裝置30具有多個灰階值與延伸灰階值、及分別對應該多個灰階值與延伸灰階值的多個伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值。而基於該延伸伽瑪裝置30所提供之對應該多個灰階值與延伸灰階值的多個伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值,該顯示驅動裝置20驅動該顯示面板10,以將一顯示圖框40顯示於該顯示面板10。在其它實施例中,上述畫素中的次畫素也可以是不同順序的排列組合,因此本發明不以上述次畫素的排列組合為限。
FIG. 1 shows the display device of the present invention, which includes a
前述本發明之顯示裝置是支援p位元色深顯示,其中p為大於1之整數,而p位元色深顯示是代表顯示圖框40的畫素值為p位元之值,亦即顯示圖框40的畫素值為0至2p-1之值,例如,對於8位元色深顯示,顯示圖框40的畫素值為0至255,對於10位元色深顯示,顯示圖框40的畫素值為0至1023,對於12位元色深顯示,顯示圖框40的畫素值為0至4095,本發明以下之說明主要是以8位元色深顯示為例,但此僅是為方便理解,並非用於限制本發明。
The aforementioned display device of the present invention supports p-bit color depth display, where p is an integer greater than 1, and p-bit color depth display means that the pixel value of the
圖2為本發明之延伸伽瑪裝置30的示意圖,圖中顯示本實施例顯示的色彩是由紅色、綠色及藍色三種顏色所組合,因此,對於紅色、綠色及藍色三種顏色的每一種顏色,延伸伽瑪裝置30各具有多個灰階值與延伸灰階值、及分別對應該多個灰階值與延伸灰階值的多個伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值。如圖所示,對於紅色(R),延伸伽瑪裝置30具有2p個灰階值與q個延伸灰階值、及對應該2p個灰階值的2p個伽瑪電壓值與對應該q個延伸灰階值的q個延伸伽瑪電壓值,其中q為大於1且小於2p的整數。舉例而言,對於8位元色深顯示,延伸伽
瑪裝置30具有256個灰階值0,1,2,...255及對應之256個伽瑪電壓值RV0,RV1,RV2,...RV255,而q為大於1且小於256的整數,例如為64,則延伸伽瑪裝置30具有64個延伸灰階值256,257,258,...319及對應之64個延伸伽瑪電壓值RV256,RV257,RV258,...RV319。此外,對於綠色(G)及藍色(B),延伸伽瑪裝置30所具有之灰階值與延伸灰階值、及對應的伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值亦是如此,故不再贅述。
2 is a schematic diagram of the
於前述之延伸伽瑪裝置30中,其所具有的2p個灰階值與對應的2p個伽瑪電壓值是標準支援p位元色深顯示的伽瑪裝置所必須提供之灰階值與伽瑪電壓值,由於伽瑪裝置的作用是在修正或補償顯示的亮度,但在一般顯示模式下,並不會使用到顯示面板10的最高亮度及對應之電壓,如圖3所示之範例,AMOLED顯示面板的可耐受的電壓範圍為6V至2.2V,而標準支援8位元色深顯示的伽瑪裝置的伽瑪電壓值V0~V255約為6V至2.8V之間,故該2.8V至2.2V的電壓區間並未被標準的伽瑪裝置所使用,而再如圖3所示,本發明的延伸伽瑪裝置30即是利用此電壓區間來提供q個延伸灰階值及對應的q個延伸伽瑪電壓值,其中每一該q個延伸伽瑪電壓值是位在該2p個伽瑪電壓值所形成的電壓範圍外,且位在該顯示面板10所可耐受的電壓範圍內,例如,利用此電壓區間來提供64個延伸灰階值256,257,258,...319、及位在6V至2.8V的電壓範圍外且位在6V至2.2V的電壓範圍內的64個延伸伽瑪電壓值V256,V257,V258,...V319,以使經由延伸伽瑪裝置30修正的顯示的亮度可以提高。
In the aforementioned
再請參照圖2,於前述延伸伽瑪裝置30中,該2p個灰階值為遞增,該q個延伸灰階值是由第2p灰階值延伸且為遞增,且當該
顯示面板10為P型金屬氧化物半導體(PMOS)的類型時,該2p個伽瑪電壓值為遞減,該q個延伸伽瑪電壓值是由第2p伽瑪電壓值延伸且為遞減。而當該顯示面板10為N型金屬氧化物半導體(NMOS)的類型時,該2p個伽瑪電壓值為遞增,該q個延伸伽瑪電壓值是由第2p伽瑪電壓值延伸且為遞增。
Please refer to FIG. 2 again, in the aforementioned
進一步,灰階值的大小與顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成正比,同樣地,延伸灰階值的大小與該顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成正比,且對於PMOS類型的顯示面板10,其伽瑪電壓值的大小與顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成反比,同樣地,其延伸伽瑪電壓值的大小與該顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成反比。而對於NMOS類型的顯示面板10,其伽瑪電壓值的大小與顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成正比,同樣地,其延伸伽瑪電壓值的大小與該顯示面板10的畫素101的亮度成正比。在實際的應用上,該延伸伽瑪裝置30是儲存有N個灰階值與延伸灰階值、及對應的N個伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值,其中N為一整數且2<=N<=2p+q,亦即,該延伸伽瑪裝置30是僅儲存一部份之灰階值與延伸灰階值、及對應的伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值,例如,僅儲存灰階值0,8,16,...255與延伸灰階值256,264,272,...319、及對應之伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值,而其餘灰階值與延伸灰階值所對應之伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值則是由該儲存的灰階值與延伸灰階值、及對應的伽瑪電壓值與延伸伽瑪電壓值,以內插法計算所產生。
Further, the size of the gray scale value is proportional to the brightness of the
再請參照圖1,顯示圖框40包含多數個畫素值401以代表欲顯示之圖像,當顯示裝置將由多數畫素值401構成的顯示圖框40
顯示於顯示面板10時,顯示驅動裝置20會依據顯示面板10的畫素101的內容,將顯示圖框的每一畫素值401由該延伸伽瑪裝置30對照出一灰階值或一延伸灰階值,據以選用該對照出的灰階值或延伸灰階值所對應的伽瑪電壓值或延伸伽瑪電壓值來驅動該顯示面板10。據此,本發明之顯示裝置可以利用該延伸伽瑪裝置30,配合顯示驅動裝置的亮度補償功能來提升顯示資料的亮度表現,而提高顯示畫面的局部動態範圍。
1 again, the
例如,在圖1中的顯示面板10可能因製程之因素,導致顯示面板的例如下方的顯示區域109的亮度表現不足,而對此亮度不足的顯示區域109,該顯示驅動裝置20將顯示圖框40對應該顯示區域109的每一畫素值401(亦即,顯示圖框40對應的下方的圖框區域409的每一畫素值401),由該延伸伽瑪裝置30對照出一較該畫素值為大之灰階值或延伸灰階值,據以選用該對照出之灰階值或延伸灰階值所對應的伽瑪電壓值或延伸伽瑪電壓值來驅動該顯示面板10的亮度不足區域,例如,當要顯示該部分圖框區域401的一畫素值為255時,因其是顯示於顯示面板10的亮度不足的區域,為避免實際亮度表現不佳,該顯示驅動裝置20將該畫素值(255)進行亮度補償,得到一畫素值較255為大的(延伸)灰階值為319,並由該延伸伽瑪裝置30選用該(延伸)灰階值(319)所對應的(延伸)伽瑪電壓值V319來驅動顯示面板10以顯示該畫素值於該亮度不足區域,而能夠補償亮度不足,使得顯示面板的整體亮度表現優異。
For example, the
由以上之說明可知,以本發明之延伸伽瑪裝置,配合顯示驅動裝置的亮度補償功能,可突破習知伽瑪裝置的灰階範圍限制與最大亮度限制,延伸顯示面板上顯示資料的亮度表現,進而提高顯示畫面的 局部動態範圍,因此可達成在不增加顯著功耗的情況下,仍可使用到最高的動態,且對顯示面板進行完整的亮度補償。 It can be seen from the above description that the extended gamma device of the present invention, in conjunction with the brightness compensation function of the display driving device, can break through the grayscale range and maximum brightness limits of the conventional gamma device, and extend the brightness performance of the displayed data on the display panel To improve the display screen’s The local dynamic range can achieve the highest dynamics without increasing significant power consumption, and complete brightness compensation for the display panel.
上述實施例僅係為了方便說明而舉例而已,本發明所主張之權利範圍自應以申請專利範圍所述為準,而非僅限於上述實施例。 The above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples for the convenience of description, and the scope of rights claimed in the present invention should be subject to the scope of the patent application, rather than limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
