Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种发光二极管驱动电路,且特别是涉及一种单一驱动输出端可以根据两个位元的值来驱动发光二极管的发光二极管驱动电路与驱动系统。The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode driving circuit, and in particular to a light-emitting diode driving circuit and a driving system in which a single driving output terminal can drive a light-emitting diode according to the value of two bits.
背景技术Background technique
发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,简称LED)是一种固态发光元件,由P型与N型的半导体材料组成,它能产生在紫外线、可见光以及红外线区域内的自辐射光。由于LED具有省电、寿命长、亮度高等诸多优点,近来在环保与节能省碳的趋势下,LED的应用愈来愈广泛,例如交通信号、路灯、手电筒、液晶显示的背光模块或是譬如LED灯泡的各式照明装置等。Light Emitting Diode (LED for short) is a solid-state light-emitting element composed of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials, which can generate self-radiating light in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared regions. Due to the many advantages of LEDs such as power saving, long lifespan, and high brightness, under the trend of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon saving, LEDs are more and more widely used, such as traffic signals, street lights, flashlights, backlight modules for liquid crystal displays, or LED Various lighting devices such as light bulbs.
LED显示屏产业目前皆以高色阶分辨率、高画面刷新率、高LED利用率、高扫描数、多驱动芯片串接颗数及降低成本为发展目标。采用基本款驱动芯片价格较为便宜,但在扫描屏的应用下要达到高色阶分辨率、高画面刷新率、高扫描数会造成LED利用率降低及芯片串接颗数变少的缺陷。采用较贵的内建脉冲宽度调制(plus width modulation,PWM)功能的驱动芯片在扫描屏的应用下虽然可以较易达到高色阶分辨率及高LED利用率的目标,但若要追求高画面刷新率则必须降低芯片串接颗数与扫描数。且采用内建脉冲宽度调制(plus width modulation,PWM)功能的驱动芯片成本会增加许多。The LED display industry is currently aiming at high color scale resolution, high screen refresh rate, high LED utilization rate, high scan count, multiple driver chips connected in series, and cost reduction. The price of the basic driver chip is relatively cheap, but in the application of the scanning screen to achieve high color resolution, high screen refresh rate, and high number of scans will cause the defects of reduced LED utilization rate and fewer chips in series. Although the more expensive driver chip with built-in pulse width modulation (PWM) function can easily achieve the goal of high color resolution and high LED utilization under the application of scanning screen, but if you want to pursue high image quality The refresh rate must reduce the number of chips connected in series and the number of scans. And the cost of the driver chip with built-in pulse width modulation (PWM) function will increase a lot.
部分传统技术所提出的的发光二极管驱动方法为提高发光二极管利用率(effective rate)与画面更新率(refresh rate),会在同一驱动周期中使用多个位元的数据来进行驱动,但是一般电路架构并无法同时提供多个亮度设定值的多个位元。In order to improve the LED utilization rate (effective rate) and refresh rate (refresh rate), the LED driving method proposed by some traditional technologies will use multiple bits of data to drive in the same driving cycle, but the general circuit The architecture cannot provide multiple bits for multiple brightness settings at the same time.

第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220会根据路径选择信号SEL分别接收亮度设定数据中的第一数据与第二数据,例如灰阶数据不同位元的值。以8位元的亮度设定数据为例说明,第一移位暂存单元210可以在路径选择信号SEL为高电平时进行数据移位暂存以取得对应不同输出端的多笔亮度设定数据中的第2个位的值,而第二移位暂存单元220可以在路径选择信号SEL为低电平时进行数据移位暂存以取得对应不同输出端的多笔亮度设定数据中的第3个位元的值。在不同时间下传送数据输入信号DIN的数据至第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220,藉此第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220可以获取到不同的位元值或是数据。第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220可由:R-S正反器(flip-flop)、D型正反器、T型正反器、JK正反器、D型闩锁器等正反器或闩锁器构成,但本实施例不受限。The first
第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220可以具有多个数据储存元件,可以同时储存多笔亮度设定数据的位元值以对应多个驱动输出端。举例来说,第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220所能储存的位元数可以与驱动单元260的输出端OUT1~OUTP的个数相同,但本实施例不限制。The first
路径选择单元230会根据路径选择信号SEL切换所传递的资料是来自于第一移位暂存单元210或第二移位暂存单元220。举例来说,当第一移位暂存单元210进行数据获取时,路径选择单元230会切换至第一移位暂存单元210,使第一移位暂存单元210中的数据可以传递至下一个发光二极管驱动电路(驱动芯片)中的第一移位暂存单元。当第二移位暂存单元220进行数据获取时,路径选择单元230会切换至第二移位暂存单元220,使第一移位暂存单元220中的数据可以传递至下一个发光二极管驱动电路(驱动芯片)中的第二移位暂存单元。路径选择单元230例如是多工器,但本实施例不受限。The
数据储存单元240会根据数据闩锁信号LAT储存第一移位暂存单元210中的数据,第一移位暂存单元210可以在被数据储存单元240获取数据后进行数据更新。换言之,数据闩锁信号LAT与路径选择信号SEL具有时序上的关系,数据储存单元240会配合第一移位暂存单元210的数据更新时序获取其中的第一数据并暂存。以上述8位元的亮度设定数据为例,数据储存单元240可以暂存第一移位暂存单元210中所储存的第2个位元的值。数据储存单元240例如由多个R-S正反器(flip-flop)、D型正反器、T型正反器、JK正反器、D型闩锁器等正反器或闩锁器并列构成,但本实施例不受限。The
输出选择单元250会根据输出选择信号SOUT选择输出数据储存单元240所储存的值或第二移位暂存单元220中所储存的值至驱动单元260。举例来说,输出选择单元250可以在一个发光二极管的驱动周期中输出数据储存单元240中的第2位元的值与第二移位暂存单元220中所储存的第3位的值至驱动单元260。The
驱动单元260具有多个输出端OUT1~OUTP(P为正整数),用以耦接发光二极管101。驱动单元250可以调整输出端OUT1~OUTP的电流以驱动多个发光二极管101。一般而言,驱动单元250具有多个定电流电路,可以分别控制流入输出端OUT1~OUTP的电流以决定发光二极管101的发光时间与亮度。电流的方向可以依照设计需求与发光二极管101的驱动方向而定,本实施例不限制驱动单元250的电流输出方向与其定电流电路的电路设计架构。The driving
驱动单元260会根据使能信号EN与输出选择单元250的输出决定发光二极管的发光时间。换言之,驱动单元260会根据数据储存单元240中所储存的值、第二移位暂存单元220所储存的值以及使能信号EN决定其驱动端OUT1~OUTP所连接的发光二极管的发光时间。举例来说,驱动单元260可以将一驱动周期分为两个子周期,然后根据数据储存单元240中所储存的值决定第一个子周期中的有效发光时间,根据第二移位暂存单元220中所储存的值决定第二个子周期中的有效发光时间。通过发光二极管驱动电路120的架构,驱动单元260可以在单一个子周期中根据亮度设定数据中的两个位元的值决定发光二极管的发光时间。The driving
由于发光二极管驱动电路120具有两个移位暂存单元210、220与数据储存单元240,因此发光二极管驱动电路120可以同时进行数据更新与驱动。举例来说,第一移位暂存单元210与第二移位暂存单元220可以根据路径选择信号SEL分别储存多个亮度设定值中的第1个位元(第一数据)与第2个位元(第二数据)。然后,数据储存单元240会自第一移位暂存单元210取得第1个位元的值,在数据储存单元240完成第1个位元的储存后,第一移位暂存单元210便可以进行数据更新。此时,输出选择单元250可以输出第二移位暂存单元220中的值或数据储存单元240中的值至驱动单元260以驱动发光二极管。Since the
在第一移位暂存单元210完成资料更新后,第二移位暂存单元220可以接着进行资料更新,而此时,输出选择单元250可以输出数据储存单元240中的数据来驱动发光二极管。换言之,第二移位暂存单元220可以在输出选择单元250切换至数据储存单元240时进行数据更新,而第一移位暂存单元210则可以在数据储存单元240获取第一移位暂存单元210中的数据之后进行数据更新。也就是说,当输出选择单元250再度切换至第二移位暂存单元220时,第二移位暂存单元220已经完成数据更新的动作,驱动单元260不需等待数据的更新时间,即可取得下一笔亮度设定数据或下一个所需的位元值来驱动发光二极管。After the first
值得注意的是,上述路径选择信号SEL、闩锁信号LAT、使能信号EN与输出选择信号SOUT可以由外部电路(如控制单元110)提供或由发光二极管驱动电路120的内部电路提供,本实施例不受限制。It is worth noting that the path selection signal SEL, the latch signal LAT, the enable signal EN and the output selection signal SOUT can be provided by an external circuit (such as the control unit 110) or by an internal circuit of the
请参照图3A,图3A示出本发明实施例的发光二极管驱动电路120的电路图。驱动单元260可以由多个逻辑门与驱动输出电路组成,例如多个与门(AND gate)351~35P与驱动输出电路361~36P。与门351~35P的输入端分别接收使能信号EN与输出选择单元250的输出,与门351~35P的输出端耦接于驱动输出电路361~36P,依据使能信号EN与输出选择单元250的输出决定驱动输出电路361~36P是否驱动发光二极管101。由图3A可知,当使能信号EN为逻辑高电位且输出选择单元250的输出为逻辑高电位(逻辑1)时,与门351~35P的输出才能使能,使驱动输出电路361~36P输出电流。驱动输出电路361~36P例如为定电流输出电路,可以输出定电流以驱动发光二极管101。Please refer to FIG. 3A , which is a circuit diagram of the
