Description

关联于胆固醇液晶的双稳态显示器Bistable displays associated with cholesteric liquid crystals

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种平面显示技术,尤其涉及一种关联于胆固醇液晶的双稳态显示器。The invention relates to a plane display technology, in particular to a bistable display associated with cholesteric liquid crystals.

背景技术 Background technique

双稳态显示器(bistable display)是一种使用双稳态介质来进行显示的显示器,而要达成双稳态显示的技术包括有电子墨水(electronic ink,E-Ink)显示、胆固醇液晶显示(cholesteric liquid crystal display,ChLCD)、电泳显示(electro-phoretic display,EPD)、电湿润显示(electrowettingdisplay,EWD)或快速响应液态粉显示(quick response-liquid powderdisplay,QR-LPD)等显示技术。A bistable display is a display that uses a bistable medium for display, and technologies to achieve a bistable display include electronic ink (E-Ink) display, cholesteric liquid crystal display (cholesteric liquid crystal display (ChLCD), electro-phoretic display (EPD), electrowetting display (EWD) or quick response-liquid powder display (quick response-liquid powder display, QR-LPD) and other display technologies.

以胆固醇液晶显示技术而言,由于胆固醇液晶(ChLC)的驱动电压较高,故其驱动方式大多采用被动式(passive)的驱动方式,并且搭配使用同一电源电压,而以控制责任周期(duty cycle)的方式来切换灰阶(gray level)。在此情况下,显示画面的时间可预期地会被拉长,从而无法实现播放动态画面的效果。In terms of cholesteric liquid crystal display technology, since the driving voltage of cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) is relatively high, most of its driving methods adopt passive driving method, and the same power supply voltage is used together to control the duty cycle. The way to switch the gray level (gray level). In this case, the time for displaying the picture is expected to be prolonged, so that the effect of playing a dynamic picture cannot be realized.

另一方面,若欲采用主动式的驱动方式来驱动胆固醇液晶(ChLC)的话,由于现今一般的液晶显示器(LCD)的源极驱动器(source driver)的驱动能力并无法顺利地重置(更新)胆固醇液晶(ChLC),其是因:源极驱动器所能提供/产生的驱动电压的上限未达重置(更新)胆固醇液晶(ChLC)的标准。在此情况下,为达以主动式的驱动方式来驱动胆固醇液晶(ChLC)的目的,可预期地必须增加源极驱动器所能提供/产生的驱动电压的上限,但此举却会导致成本的增加。On the other hand, if you want to use an active driving method to drive cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC), because the driving ability of the source driver (source driver) of the current general liquid crystal display (LCD) cannot be reset (updated) smoothly For cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC), the reason is that the upper limit of the driving voltage that the source driver can provide/generate does not reach the standard for resetting (renewing) cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC). In this case, in order to achieve the purpose of driving cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) in an active driving manner, it is expected that the upper limit of the driving voltage that the source driver can provide/generate must be increased, but this will lead to a cost increase. Increase.

另一方面,图4显示为本发明一示范性实施例的双稳态显示器10的运作示意图。请合并参照图1~图4,时序控制器(T-con)111所产生的第一切换信号S1会于重置阶段PR使能,并于驱动阶段PD禁能;另外,时序控制器(T-con)111所产生的第二切换信号S2会于重置阶段PR禁能,并于驱动阶段PD使能。如此一来,所述M个第一开关SW1与所述N个第二开关SW2将会同时于重置阶段PR导通(turned-on),并同时于驱动阶段PD关闭(turned-off);另外,所述M个第三开关SW3与所述N个第四开关SW4将会同时于重置阶段PR关闭,并同时于驱动阶段PD导通。On the other hand, FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the operation of the bistable display 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIGS. 1-4 together. The first switching signal S1 generated by the timing controller (T-con) 111 will be enabled in the reset phase PR and disabled in the driving phase PD; in addition, the timing controller (T-con) The second switching signal S2 generated by - con) 111 is disabled in the reset phase PR and enabled in the driving phase PD. In this way, the M first switches SW1 and the N second switches SW2 will be turned on (turned-on) in the reset phase PR and simultaneously turned off (turned-off) in the driving phase PD; In addition, the M third switches SW3 and the N fourth switches SW4 are turned off in the reset phase PR and turned on in the drive phase PD simultaneously.

于本示范性实施例中,于重置阶段PR,重置模组103会提供栅控信号GS以同时开启双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P,并且提供重置信号RS以与共用电压产生器109所产生的共用电压Vcom形成压差,藉以同时重置(更新)双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P。In this exemplary embodiment, in the reset phase PR, the reset module 103 provides a gate control signal GS to simultaneously turn on all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101, and provides a reset signal RS to be connected to the common voltage The common voltage Vcom generated by the generator 109 forms a voltage difference so as to simultaneously reset (refresh) all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 .

另一方面,整个驱动阶段PD可以分成写入子阶段(writingsub-phase)PW与显示子阶段(displaying sub-phase)PS。于写入子阶段PW,源极驱动器303会协同于栅极驱动器301所序列产生的扫描信号SS1~SSN而产生显示数据信号DS1~DSM,藉以循序驱动双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P。另外,于显示子阶段PS,源极驱动器303与栅极驱动器301分别停止产生显示数据信号DS1~DSM与扫描信号SS1~SSN,藉以停止驱动双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P;与此同时,双稳态显示面板101将显示影像。On the other hand, the entire driving phase PD can be divided into a writing sub-phase (writing sub-phase) PW and a displaying sub-phase (displaying sub-phase) PS. In the writing sub-phase PW, the source driver 303 will cooperate with the scan signals SS1-SSN sequentially generated by the gate driver 301 to generate display data signals DS1-DSM, so as to sequentially drive all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 . In addition, in the display sub-phase PS, the source driver 303 and the gate driver 301 respectively stop generating the display data signals DS1-DSM and the scan signals SS1-SSN, so as to stop driving all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101; At the same time, the bistable display panel 101 will display images.

于此值得一提的是,重置阶段PR累加驱动阶段PD的时间长度可以视为双稳态显示器10的一个画面期间(frame period)FP。而且,双稳态显示器10在运作时会先进入重置阶段PR,接着再进入驱动阶段PD。基此,在双稳态显示器10进入重置阶段PR时,反应于时序控制器111的控制,重置模组103会产生(可变)重置信号RS与栅控信号GS,而共用电压产生器109会产生(可变)共用电压Vcom。It is worth mentioning here that the time length of the reset phase PR and the accumulation driving phase PD can be regarded as a frame period FP of the bistable display 10 . Moreover, the bistable display 10 will first enter the reset phase PR and then enter the driving phase PD during operation. Based on this, when the bistable display 10 enters the reset phase PR, in response to the control of the timing controller 111, the reset module 103 will generate (variable) reset signal RS and gate control signal GS, and the common voltage will generate The device 109 generates a (variable) common voltage Vcom.

在此条件下,由于第一与第二切换信号S1、S2在重置阶段PR时分别为使能与禁能,所以所述M个第一开关SW1与所述N个第二开关SW2会同时被导通,而所述M个第三开关SW3与所述N个第四开关SW4会同时被关闭。换言之,于重置阶段PR,切换模组107会致使重置模组103与双稳态显示面板101相连接,并且致使主动式驱动模组105与双稳态显示面板101不相连。Under this condition, since the first and second switching signals S1 and S2 are respectively enabled and disabled during the reset phase PR, the M first switches SW1 and the N second switches SW2 will be simultaneously is turned on, and the M third switches SW3 and the N fourth switches SW4 are turned off simultaneously. In other words, in the reset phase PR, the switching module 107 will cause the reset module 103 to be connected to the bistable display panel 101 , and cause the active driving module 105 to be disconnected from the bistable display panel 101 .

再加上,于重置阶段PR,重置模组103所产生的栅控信号GS会同时开启双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P,以至于双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P就会反应于重置模组103所产生的(可变)重置信号RS与共用电压产生器109所产生的(可变)共用电压Vcom之间的压差而进行重置(更新)。In addition, in the reset phase PR, the gate control signal GS generated by the reset module 103 will turn on all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 at the same time, so that all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 The reset (refresh) is performed in response to the voltage difference between the (variable) reset signal RS generated by the reset module 103 and the (variable) common voltage Vcom generated by the common voltage generator 109 .

在双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P于重置阶段PR被重置(更新)后,双稳态显示器10会接续进入驱动阶段PD。在双稳态显示器10进入驱动阶段PD时,由于第一与第二切换信号S1、S2在驱动阶段PD时分别为禁能与使能,所以所述M个第一开关SW1与所述N个第二开关SW2会同时被关闭,而所述M个第三开关SW3与所述N个第四开关SW4会同时被导通。换言之,于驱动阶段PD,切换模组107会致使重置模组103与双稳态显示面板101不相连,并且致使主动式驱动模组105与双稳态显示面板101相连接。After all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 are reset (refreshed) in the reset phase PR, the bistable display 10 will then enter the driving phase PD. When the bistable display 10 enters the driving phase PD, since the first and second switching signals S1 and S2 are respectively disabled and enabled during the driving phase PD, the M first switches SW1 and the N The second switches SW2 are turned off at the same time, and the M third switches SW3 and the N fourth switches SW4 are turned on at the same time. In other words, in the driving phase PD, the switching module 107 will cause the reset module 103 to be disconnected from the bistable display panel 101 and cause the active driving module 105 to be connected to the bistable display panel 101 .

与此同时,反应于时序控制器111的控制,栅极驱动器301与源极驱动器303会在驱动阶段PD的写入子阶段PW分别产生扫描信号SSj(j=1~N)与显示数据信号DSi(i=1~M)。而且,源极驱动器303会协同于栅极驱动器301所序列产生的扫描信号SS1~SSN而产生显示数据信号DS 1~DSM,藉以驱动双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P。At the same time, in response to the control of the timing controller 111, the gate driver 301 and the source driver 303 will respectively generate the scanning signal SSj (j=1-N) and the display data signal DSi in the writing sub-phase PW of the driving phase PD. (i=1~M). Moreover, the source driver 303 will cooperate with the scan signals SS1-SSN sequentially generated by the gate driver 301 to generate display data signals DS1-DSM, so as to drive all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101.

紧接着,于显示子阶段PS,源极驱动器303与栅极驱动器301会反应于时序控制器111的控制而分别停止产生显示数据信号DS1~DSM与扫描信号SS1~SSN,藉以停止驱动双稳态显示面板101内的所有像素P;与此同时,由于各数据线DLi(i=1~M)与共用电压Vcom之间并未存在着压差(即,等电位),故而双稳态显示面板101将得以于显示子阶段PS显示影像。Next, in the display sub-phase PS, the source driver 303 and the gate driver 301 will respond to the control of the timing controller 111 and stop generating the display data signals DS1˜DSM and scan signals SS1˜SSN respectively, so as to stop driving the bistable state All the pixels P in the display panel 101; at the same time, since there is no voltage difference (that is, equipotential) between each data line DLi (i=1-M) and the common voltage Vcom, the bistable display panel 101 will be able to display images in the display sub-stage PS.

由此可知,本示范性实施例所揭示的双稳态显示器10关联于胆固醇液晶(ChLCD)且采用主动式的驱动方式。由于双稳态显示器10通过存在于源极驱动器303外部的重置模组103以在重置阶段PR对双稳态显示面板101(胆固醇液晶显示面板)内的所有像素P进行重置(更新),并通过源极驱动器303以在驱动阶段PD对双稳态显示面板101(胆固醇液晶显示面板)内的所有像素P进行驱动(即,通过源极驱动器303所提供的模拟电压来切换灰阶)。如此一来,除了可以得到更好的灰阶显示效果外,还可以缩短显示画面的时间,从而实现播放动态画面的效果。It can be seen that the bistable display 10 disclosed in this exemplary embodiment is related to cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLCD) and adopts an active driving method. Since the bistable display 10 resets (refreshes) all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 (cholesteric liquid crystal display panel) in the reset phase PR through the reset module 103 existing outside the source driver 303 , and drive all the pixels P in the bistable display panel 101 (cholesteric liquid crystal display panel) in the driving phase PD through the source driver 303 (that is, switch the gray scale through the analog voltage provided by the source driver 303) . In this way, in addition to obtaining a better grayscale display effect, the time for displaying the image can also be shortened, thereby achieving the effect of playing a dynamic image.

更清楚来说,若以切换16灰阶为例,传统被动式的驱动方式必需花费1个画面期间(FP)以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的像素进行重置/更新,并且必须花费16个画面期间(FP)以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的像素进行驱动,故而以画面更新率为60Hz的胆固醇液晶显示器而言,传统被动式的驱动方式只能在一秒钟内显示3张影像画面而已,故而不利于播放动态画面。To be more clear, if switching 16 gray scales is taken as an example, the traditional passive driving method must spend 1 frame period (FP) to reset/update the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel, and must spend 16 frame periods (FP) is used to drive the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel. Therefore, for a cholesteric liquid crystal display with a frame refresh rate of 60Hz, the traditional passive driving method can only display 3 image frames in one second, so it is not necessary. It is good for playing dynamic pictures.

相对地,在本发明中,若以切换16灰阶为例,本发明所采用的主动式的驱动方式同样需花费1个画面期间(FP)以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的像素进行重置/更新,但是却只需花费1个画面期间(FP)以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的像素进行驱动即可,故而以画面更新率为60Hz的胆固醇液晶显示器而言,本发明所采用的主动式的驱动方式可以在一秒钟内显示30张影像画面,故而较利于播放动态画面。In contrast, in the present invention, if switching 16 gray scales is taken as an example, the active driving method adopted in the present invention also takes one frame period (FP) to reset/reset the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel. update, but it only needs to spend one frame period (FP) to drive the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel, so in terms of the cholesteric liquid crystal display with a frame refresh rate of 60Hz, the active type used in the present invention The driving method can display 30 images in one second, so it is more conducive to playing dynamic images.

另一方面,图5显示为图3的双稳态显示器10的变型实施示意图。请合并参照图3与图5,从图3可以清楚地看出,所述M个第一开关SW1与所述M个第三开关SW3分别配置在双稳态显示面板101的上下两侧,藉以以分别与双稳态显示面板101内的数据线DL1~DLM耦接;另外,所述N个第二开关SW2与所述N个第四开关SW4分别配置在双稳态显示面板101的左右两侧,藉以以分别与双稳态显示面板101内的扫描线SL1~SLN耦接。On the other hand, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a modified implementation of the bistable display 10 shown in FIG. 3 . Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 together. It can be clearly seen from FIG. 3 that the M first switches SW1 and the M third switches SW3 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the bistable display panel 101, so as to to be respectively coupled with the data lines DL1~DLM in the bistable display panel 101; in addition, the N second switches SW2 and the N fourth switches SW4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bistable display panel 101. side, so as to be respectively coupled with the scan lines SL1 - SLN in the bistable display panel 101 .

在相似的概念下,如图5所示,所述M个第一开关SW1与所述M个第三开关SW3可以(例如)同时配置在双稳态显示面板101的下侧(但可改变为上侧),藉以分别与双稳态显示面板101内的数据线DL1~DLM耦接;另外,所述N个第二开关SW2与所述N个第四开关SW4亦可(例如)同时配置在双稳态显示面板101的右侧(但可改变为左侧),藉以分别与双稳态显示面板101内的扫描线SL1~SLN耦接。然而,由于图3与图5的运作方式类似,故而在此并不再加以赘述之。Under a similar concept, as shown in FIG. 5 , the M first switches SW1 and the M third switches SW3 can (for example) be simultaneously configured on the lower side of the bistable display panel 101 (but can be changed to upper side), so as to be respectively coupled with the data lines DL1-DLM in the bistable display panel 101; in addition, the N second switches SW2 and the N fourth switches SW4 can also be (for example) simultaneously arranged on The right side of the bistable display panel 101 (but can be changed to the left side) is used to be respectively coupled to the scan lines SL1 - SLN in the bistable display panel 101 . However, since the operation modes of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 are similar, they will not be repeated here.

综上所述,本发明提供一种关联于胆固醇液晶且采用主动式的驱动方式的双稳态显示器,其通过存在于源极驱动器外部的重置模组以在重置阶段对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的所有像素进行重置(更新),并通过源极驱动器以在驱动阶段对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的所有像素进行驱动(即,通过源极驱动器所提供的模拟电压来切换灰阶)。如此一来,除了可以得到更好的灰阶显示效果外,还可以缩短显示画面的时间,从而实现播放动态画面的效果。In summary, the present invention provides a bistable display associated with cholesteric liquid crystals and adopts an active driving method, which uses a reset module outside the source driver to reset the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel during the reset phase. All the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel are reset (updated) through the source driver to drive all the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel in the driving phase (that is, the gray scale is switched through the analog voltage provided by the source driver). In this way, in addition to obtaining a better grayscale display effect, the time for displaying the image can also be shortened, thereby achieving the effect of playing a dynamic image.

换个方式来说,只要是通过(主动式)源极驱动器外部任何的装置/模组/单元/电路以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的所有像素进行重置(更新),并通过(主动式)源极驱动器以对胆固醇液晶显示面板内的所有像素进行驱动的类似技术手段或方法,就属于本发明所欲保护的范畴。To put it another way, as long as all the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel are reset (updated) through any device/module/unit/circuit outside the (active) source driver, and through the (active) source driver A similar technical means or method for driving all the pixels in the cholesteric liquid crystal display panel by a polar driver falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
