閘極驅動電路15耦接於顯示面板17,並用以根據閘極控制訊號GPulse產生一閘極驅動訊號Vgd。具體而言,如第1圖所示,閘極驅動電路15用以將閘極驅動訊號Vgd輸出至顯示面板17的多個掃描線SL。為簡化描述,在此僅以一個閘極驅動訊號Vgd進行說明,但本揭示內容並不限於此。舉例來說,閘極驅動電路15可根據閘極控制訊號GPulse所包含的時脈訊號依序產生多個閘極驅動訊號Vgd至多個掃描線SL,以依序驅動顯示面板17中每一列的畫素。The
偵測電路19耦接於處理電路18,並用以偵測一物體。於一些實施例中,如第2圖所示,偵測電路19藉由筆記型電腦上的相機模組來實現,並可偵測使用者20的眼睛(即,物體)是否於一預設區域(例如:相機模組前方30至70公分的區域)內。具體而言,如第1圖所示,若偵測到物體存在,偵測電路19用以輸出一物體存在訊號Sop(例如:高電壓位準的訊號)至處理電路18。若偵測到物體不存在(未偵測到物體),偵測電路19用以輸出一物體不存在訊號Soa(例如:低電壓位準的訊號)至處理電路18。The
如前述說明,處理電路18耦接於偵測電路19與時序控制電路11,並用以響應於偵測電路19未偵測到物體,產生一觸發訊號Szr。進一步地說,若接收到偵測電路19所輸出之物體不存在訊號Soa,處理電路18用以輸出具有高電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,以觸發時序控制電路11執行一省電操作。若接收到偵測電路19所輸出之物體存在訊號Sop,處理電路18用以輸出具有低電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,使時序控制電路11停止執行省電操作。於一些實施例中,處理電路18藉由中央處理單元(CPU)來實現。As described above, the
於一些實施例中,時序控制電路11根據觸發訊號Szr調整源極驅動電路16所輸出之源極驅動訊號Vsd之電壓位準至一接地電壓GND(即,省電操作)。於另一些實施例中,除了調整源極驅動訊號Vsd之電壓位準至接地電壓GND以外,時序控制電路11還調整閘極驅動電路15所輸出之閘極驅動訊號Vgd之電壓位準,使閘極驅動訊號Vgd具有接地電壓GND(即,省電操作)。有關於省電操作之說明將於後續段落中搭配第5及6圖詳細說明。In some embodiments, the
由上述說明可知,若未偵測到物體(例如:使用者20暫時離去),顯示裝置100對顯示面板17中的多個畫素之充電操作將停止,使顯示面板17無顯示畫面而達到省電之功效。若偵測到物體(例如:使用者20回到顯示裝置100前),顯示裝置100可藉由調整至少源極驅動訊號Vsd之電壓位準,使顯示面板17能夠迅速地顯示出使用者20應該看到的畫面。It can be seen from the above description that if no object is detected (for example, the
應當理解,本文所述之「無顯示畫面」與一些顯示黑畫面的習知技術並不相同,因為習知技術在顯示黑畫面時仍會對顯示面板中的多個畫素進行充電。此外,本文所述之「無顯示畫面」與一些因為供電停止而無顯示畫面的習知技術亦不相同,因為本揭示內容的顯示裝置100並未停止提供輸入電壓訊號VIN至電源管理電路12。It should be understood that the "no display screen" described in this article is different from some conventional technologies that display a black screen, because the conventional technology still charges multiple pixels in the display panel when displaying a black screen. In addition, the "no display screen" described in this article is also different from some conventional technologies in which there is no display screen due to power supply interruption, because the
請參閱第4圖,第4圖為根據本揭示內容的一些實施例所繪示的一種顯示裝置100的控制方法200的流程圖。控制方法200可由前述實施例中的顯示裝置100來執行,但本揭示內容並不以此為限。如第4圖所示,控制方法200包含步驟S201~S202。為清楚及方便說明,以下將搭配第5圖詳細說明控制方法200。第5圖為根據本揭示內容的一些實施例所繪示的顯示裝置100中的多個訊號於一顯示期間P1的時序圖。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a flow chart of a
於步驟S201中,顯示裝置100偵測物體。如上述實施例之說明,顯示裝置100可藉由偵測電路19偵測物體。於一些實施例中,如第5圖所示,偵測電路19於顯示期間P1偵測物體是否存在,以產生物體存在訊號Sop或物體不存在訊號Soa至處理電路18。In step S201, the
於步驟S202中,顯示裝置100響應於未偵測到物體,執行省電操作。如上述實施例之說明,顯示裝置100可藉由處理電路18根據偵測電路19的偵測結果產生具有高電壓位準(例如:邏輯1)或低電壓位準(例如:邏輯0)之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,而時序控制電路11則可根據觸發訊號Szr之電壓位準選擇性地執行省電操作。In step S202, the
於一些實施例中,如第5圖所示,偵測電路19於顯示期間P1的一時間點t1之前及/或顯示期間P1的一時間點t2之後偵測到物體存在(相當於於一期間P2偵測到物體不存在)。因此,處理電路18於時間點t1之前輸出具有低電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,自時間點t1開始輸出具有高電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,並自時間點t2開始再次輸出具有低電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11。換言之,處理電路18於期間P2輸出具有高電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11。於一些實施例中,期間P2的時間長短大於100毫秒(ms)。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , the
承上述說明,於期間P2,時序控制電路11根據觸發訊號Szr控制電源管理電路12調整第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD及第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE之電壓位準為接地電壓GND(例如:0V),使源極驅動電路16所輸出之源極驅動訊號Vsd具有接地電壓GND。此外,時序控制電路11還根據觸發訊號Szr控制電源管理電路12調整第二高電壓位準訊號VGH及第二低電壓位準訊號VGL之電壓位準為接地電壓GND。具體而言,當第二高電壓位準訊號VGH及第二低電壓位準訊號VGL之電壓位準調整為接地電壓GND時,位準移位電路13所輸出之閘極控制訊號GPulse之電壓位準變為接地電壓GND,從而使閘極驅動電路15所輸出之閘極驅動訊號Vgd之電壓位準變為接地電壓GND。Following the above description, during the period P2, the
於第5圖的實施例中,時序控制電路11可控制電源管理電路12將第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD、第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE、第二高電壓位準訊號VGH及第二低電壓位準訊號VGL之電壓位準同時調整為接地電壓GND,但揭示內容並不限於此。舉例來說,於一些實施例中,時序控制電路11可先控制電源管理電路12將第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD及第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE之電壓位準調整為接地電壓GND之後,再控制電源管理電路12將第二高電壓位準訊號VGH及第二低電壓位準訊號VGL之電壓位準調整為接地電壓GND。如此一來,顯示面板17中的多個畫素可在閘極驅動電路15停止驅動顯示面板17之前先進行放電,以洩放畫素中之電荷。In the embodiment of FIG. 5 , the
於上述實施例中,除了調整源極驅動訊號Vsd之電壓位準至接地電壓GND以外,時序控制電路11還調整閘極驅動電路15所輸出之閘極驅動訊號Vgd之電壓位準,使閘極驅動訊號Vgd具有接地電壓GND。然而,本揭示內容並不限於此。於一些實施例中,時序控制電路11根據觸發訊號Szr僅調整源極驅動訊號Vsd之電壓位準至接地電壓GND,此將以第6圖的實施例為例進行說明。In the above embodiment, in addition to adjusting the voltage level of the source driving signal Vsd to the ground voltage GND, the
請一併參閱第1及6圖,第6圖為根據本揭示內容的一些實施例所繪示的顯示裝置100中的多個訊號於顯示期間P1的時序圖。第6圖中與第5圖所示相同的符號具有相同意義,故省略其詳細說明。於一些實施例中,如第1圖所示,時序控制電路11用以根據觸發訊號Szr產生一源極控制訊號Sw至源極驅動電路16。具體而言,如第6圖所示,時序控制電路11自時間點t1開始接收具有高電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr而輸出具有高電壓位準之源極控制訊號Sw(例如:邏輯1)至源極驅動電路16,並自時間點t2開始接收具有低電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr而輸出具有低電壓位準之源極控制訊號Sw(例如:邏輯0)至源極驅動電路16。換言之,處理電路18於期間P2輸出具有高電壓位準之觸發訊號Szr至時序控制電路11,使時序控制電路11於期間P2輸出具有高電壓位準之源極控制訊號Sw至源極驅動電路16。Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 6 together. FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of multiple signals in the
承上述說明,於期間P2,源極驅動電路16根據時序控制電路11所輸出之源極控制訊號Sw關閉至少一數位電路以及至少一類比電路,使源極驅動電路16所輸出之源極驅動訊號Vsd具有接地電壓GND。於一些實施例中,多個數位電路中僅有閂鎖電路163被關閉。於一些實施例中,多個數位電路中的資料接收介面161與閂鎖電路163一起被關閉。於一些實施例中,多個類比電路中僅有一者(例如:輸出電路165)被關閉。於一些實施例中,多個類比電路中有二者(例如:輸出電路165與伽瑪緩衝電路166)被關閉。於一些實施例中,多個類比電路中有三者(例如:輸出電路165、伽瑪緩衝電路166與半電壓緩衝器167)被關閉。於一些實施例中,多個類比電路全部被關閉。進一步地說,於期間P2,時序控制電路11、電源管理電路12與伽瑪電路14仍正常運作,只是因為源極驅動電路16中的一些電路關閉,而使源極驅動電路16所輸出之源極驅動訊號Vsd具有接地電壓GND。舉例來說,如第6圖所示,電源管理電路12輸出至源極驅動電路16的第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD及第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE仍具有正常的電壓位準。Following the above description, during the period P2, the
應當理解,第5及6圖所示訊號的電壓位準僅用以示例,並不用以限定本揭示內容。進一步地說,為了方便及清楚說明,若第5及6圖所示訊號具有高電壓位準,則僅表示其具有使顯示裝置100正常操作所需的電壓位準。舉例來說,於一些實施例中,在顯示裝置100正常操作時,第二高電壓位準訊號VGH的電壓位準實質上為第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD的電壓位準的兩倍,而第二低電壓位準訊號VGL的電壓位準實質上為第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE的電壓位準的兩倍。於一些實施例中,在顯示裝置100正常操作時,第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD與第二高電壓位準訊號VGH的電壓位準實質上為正電壓,而第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE與第二低電壓位準訊號VGL的電壓位準實質上為負電壓。It should be understood that the voltage levels of the signals shown in Figures 5 and 6 are only examples and are not intended to limit the disclosure. Furthermore, for convenience and clarity of explanation, if the signal shown in Figures 5 and 6 has a high voltage level, it only means that it has the voltage level required for the
於上述實施例中,不管有無執行省電操作,顯示裝置100中時序控制電路11、電源管理電路12、位準移位電路13與源極驅動電路16中的多個數位電路仍正常接收供電與傳輸數位訊號。舉例來說,如第5及6圖所示,電源管理電路12所接收的輸入電壓訊號VIN於期間P2具有正常的電壓位準,使電源管理電路12能持續對前述多個數位電路進行供電,時序控制電路11所接收來自處理電路18的一第一數位控制訊號Sc1(其用以控制時序控制電路11)於期間P2具有正常的電壓位準,且時序控制電路11所輸出的一第二數位控制訊號Sc2(其用以控制電源管理電路12、位準移位電路13、源極驅動電路16等)於期間P2具有正常的電壓位準。需特別注意的是,於第6圖的實施例中,除了源極驅動電路16中被關閉的至少一數位電路(例如:閂鎖電路163)以外,其餘數位電路於期間P2(即,執行省電操作時)仍正常接收供電與傳輸數位訊號。如此一來,當使用者20回到顯示裝置100前時(例如:於時間點t2),顯示裝置100藉由將上述具有接地電壓GND的多個訊號(例如:第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD與第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE)調整至具有正常的電壓位準,便能夠迅速地顯示出使用者20應該看到的畫面。In the above embodiment, regardless of whether the power saving operation is performed or not, the multiple digital circuits in the
值得注意的是,相較於未執行本揭示內容所述之省電操作的顯示裝置,將第一高電壓位準訊號AVDD、第一低電壓位準訊號AVEE、第二高電壓位準訊號VGH及第二低電壓位準訊號VGL之電壓位準調整為接地電壓GND的顯示裝置100實質上減少了70%的功耗。又,相較於未執行本揭示內容所述之省電操作的顯示裝置,關閉源極驅動電路16中的一些電路的顯示裝置100實質上減少了44%的功耗。It is worth noting that compared with a display device that does not perform the power-saving operation described in this disclosure, the first high voltage level signal AVDD, the first low voltage level signal AVEE, and the second high voltage level signal VGH The
由上述本揭示內容的實施方式可知,藉由偵測物體是否存在來選擇性地執行省電操作,本揭示內容的顯示裝置具有更為省電且能夠迅速回復顯示畫面的優勢。It can be seen from the above embodiments of the present disclosure that by detecting the presence of an object to selectively perform power-saving operations, the display device of the present disclosure has the advantage of saving more power and being able to quickly restore the display screen.
