Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present invention one drive unit 10.Drive unit 10 is used for, according to an a current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI, producing output voltage OUT to display system (not being illustrated in Fig. 1).As shown in Figure 1, drive unit 10 comprises a driver module 100 and first module 102.Driver module 100 is used for according to current data line information CLI, produces output voltage OUT.Be coupled to driver module 100 Deng change module 102, comprise a polarity judging unit 104, judging unit 106 and first unit 108.Be used for according to the reversing mode of display system being coupled to output voltage OUT Deng changing module 102, judge whether the polarity of output voltage OUT is identical in continuous print time interval, thus according to current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI, judge the voltage differences of output voltage OUT in continuous print time interval, to determine whether perform first operation to output voltage OUT.Wherein, the operation such as gradeization that module such as grade 102 performs can be precharge (pre-charge) operation or charge share (charge sharing) operation, but is not limited thereto.Whether, by module such as gradeization 102, drive unit 10 can according to the reversing mode of display system and the output voltage OUT change in voltage in continuous time interval, determine adaptively to perform etc. to change operation, with the power consumption of optimization drive unit 10.
Specifically, past data line information PLI and current data line information CLI is used to refer to previous object voltage OUT_TP1 corresponding to continuous print time interval TP1, TP2 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 respectively, and it corresponds respectively to data line (line) adjacent in display system.According to the reversing mode of display system, polarity judge module 104 can judge whether the polarity of output voltage OUT (i.e. previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2) in time interval TP1, TP2 is identical, to export a polarity inversion signal POL.For example, when display system reversing mode for some reversion (dotinversion) time, corresponding to the previous object voltage OUT_TP1 of adjacent data line and the polarity of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 different.When the reversing mode of display system is for row reversion (column inversion), then the polarity corresponding to the previous object voltage OUT_TP1 of adjacent data line and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is identical.
According to polarity inversion signal POL, judging unit 106 can adopt distinct methods, and judging whether needs to implement operation such as gradeization to output voltage OUT.When polarity inversion signal POL indicates the polarity of previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 different, first judging unit 106 in one impulsive T_EQ, resets output voltage OUT to ground terminal voltage GND by adjusting a reset signal SOG between time interval TP1 and time interval TP2.Next, judging unit 106, according to current data line information CLI, judges the difference of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 and ground terminal voltage GND, to determine whether perform operation such as gradeization in impulsive T_EQ.For example, when the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is greater than a charge threshold level TH_P1, represent current goal voltage OUT_TP2 large with the voltage differences of ground terminal voltage GND, and driver module 100 needs the electric current of at substantial to make output voltage OUT arrive current goal voltage OUT_TP2 by ground terminal voltage GND.Now, judging unit 106 by adjustment first control signal EQ, can control unit 108 such as gradeization and implements operation such as gradeization, to reduce the power consumption of drive unit 10.When the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is less than a charge threshold level TH_P2, the target voltage values representing output voltage OUT is little with the pressure reduction of ground terminal voltage GND.In this situation, the power consumption that operation can increase drive unit 10 is on the contrary changed in execution etc.Therefore, judging unit 106, by control signal EQ such as adjustment gradeizations, makes to wait the changes such as change unit 108 does not perform to operate, and maintains output voltage OUT.
On the other hand, when polarity inversion signal POL indicates the polarity of previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and the current goal voltage OUT_TP2 corresponding to adjacent data line identical, judging unit 106 is according to past data line information PLI and current data line information CLI, judge the voltage differences between previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2, to determine whether perform operation such as gradeization in impulsive T_EQ.In this embodiment, when the absolute value of previous target voltage OUT_TP1 is greater than a charge threshold level TH_P3 and the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is less than a charge threshold level TH_P4, judging unit 106 judges that between previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2, voltage differences is large, and driver module 100 needs the electric current of at substantial to make output voltage OUT arrive current goal voltage OUT_TP2 by previous object voltage OUT_TP1.Judging unit 106, by control signal EQ such as adjustment gradeization, controls unit 108 such as gradeization and implements operation such as gradeization, to reduce the power consumption of drive unit 10.Similarly, when the absolute value of previous target voltage OUT_TP1 is less than charge threshold level TH_P4 and the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is greater than a charge threshold level TH_P3, judging unit 106 judges that the voltage differences between previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is large, and driver module 100 needs the electric current of at substantial to make output voltage OUT arrive current goal voltage OUT_TP2 by previous object voltage OUT_TP1.Judging unit 106, by control signal EQ such as adjustment gradeization, controls unit 108 such as gradeization and implements operation such as gradeization, to reduce the power consumption of drive unit 10.
Relatively, when the absolute value of absolute value and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 that the absolute value of previous target voltage OUT_TP1 and the absolute value of previous object voltage OUT_TP2 are all greater than charge threshold level TH_P3 or previous object voltage OUT_TP1 is all less than charge threshold level TH_P4, judging unit 106 judges that the voltage differences between previous object voltage OUT_TP1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is little.In this situation, if the power consumption that operation increases drive unit 10 is on the contrary changed in execution etc.Therefore, judging unit 106 is by control signal EQ such as adjustment gradeization, and the change operations such as unit 108 does not perform are changed in control etc., and maintain output voltage OUT.Thus, by aforesaid operations flow process, drive unit 10 adaptability ground, according to the reversing mode of display system and output voltage OUT, determines whether implement operation such as gradeization, thus optimization power consumption.
Please refer to Fig. 2 A ~ 2D, Fig. 2 A ~ 2D is the schematic diagram of coherent signal when the drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 1 operates.Wherein, output voltage OUT corresponds to a data line LINE_N, output voltage OUT in display system in time interval TP2, then corresponds to the data line LINE_N+1 adjacent to data line LINE_N in display system in time interval TP1.As shown in the curve C 1 of Fig. 2 A, the reversing mode of display system is some reversion, polarity judging unit 104 exports the polarity inversion signal POL of low logic level, to indicate the polarity of output voltage OUT in time interval TP1 and time interval TP2 different (i.e. previous object voltage OUT_TP1_1 and current goal voltage OUT_TP2_1 polarity different).Judging unit 106 is when time point T1(and impulsive T_EQ starts), the paramount logic level of adjustment reset signal SOG, to reset output voltage OUT to ground terminal voltage GND, and terminates replacement operation at time point T2.Next, judging unit 106, according to current data line information CLI, judges that current goal voltage OUT_TP2_1 is less than a charge threshold level TH_N1(|TH_N1|=TH_P1), namely the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2_1 is greater than charge threshold level TH_P1.Judging unit 106 is by high logic level such as adjustment control signal EQ to such as gradeization, with before a time point T3 (impulsive T_EQ terminate before) output voltage OUT is charged to a pre-charge pressure (-VPRE) in advance, thus utilize precharge operation (namely etc. change operation) to reduce driver module 100 output voltage OUT to be discharged to power consumption needed for current goal voltage OUT_TP2_1.The mode being reduced power consumption by precharge operation should be well known to those skilled in the art, and for the sake of clarity, is not repeated herein.
Similarly, please refer to Fig. 2 A curve C 2, judging unit 106 is at time point T1, the paramount logic level of adjustment reset signal SOG, to reset output voltage OUT to ground terminal voltage GND, and at time point T2, reset signal SOG is adjusted to low logic level, to terminate replacement operation.With curve C 1 unlike, the current goal voltage OUT_TP2_2 of curve C 2 is greater than a charge threshold level TH_N2(|TH_N2|=TH_P2), namely the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2_2 is less than charge threshold level TH_P2, and judging unit 106 judges that current goal voltage OUT_TP2_2 is little with the pressure reduction of ground terminal voltage GND.If now etc. change unit 108 output voltage OUT to be charged in advance pre-charge pressure (-VPRE) in impulsive T_EQ, the power consumption of driver module 100 can be increased on the contrary.Therefore, judging unit 106 does not adjust etc. changes control signal EQ, to maintain output voltage OUT in impulsive T_EQ, thus the power consumption of optimization driver module 100.In addition, please refer to curve C 3 and the curve C 4 of Fig. 2 B.Curve C 3 and the operating process of the drive unit 10 of curve C 4 are similar to curve C 1 in Fig. 2 A and curve C 2 respectively, for the sake of clarity, are not repeated herein.
Please refer to Fig. 2 C, the reversing mode of display system is row reversion in this embodiment.Polarity judging unit 104 exports the polarity inversion signal POL of high logic level, with indicate output voltage OUT time interval TP1 and time interval TP2 Semi-polarity identical.Accordingly, it is low logic level that judging unit 106 adjusts reset signal SOG, changes unit 108 do not implement replacement operation to indicate etc.As shown in the curve C 5 of Fig. 2 C, according to past data line information PLI and current data line information CLI, judging unit 106 judge previous object voltage OUT_TP1_5 be greater than charge threshold level TH_P3 and the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2_5 is less than charge threshold level TH_P4.Therefore, judging unit 106 adjusts paramount logic level such as control signal EQ such as gradeization at time point T2, output voltage OUT is charged to a pre-charge pressure VPRE in advance before time point T3, thus output voltage OUT is discharged to the power consumption needed for current goal voltage OUT_TP2_5 by reduction driver module 100.
On the other hand, please refer to the curve C 6 of Fig. 2 C, polarity judging unit 104 exports the polarity inversion signal POL of high logic level, with indicate output voltage OUT time interval TP1 and time interval TP2 Semi-polarity identical.Accordingly, it is low logic level that judging unit 106 adjusts reset signal SOG, changes unit 108 do not implement replacement operation to indicate etc.With curve C 5 unlike, according to past data line information PLI and current data line information CLI, judging unit 106 judges that the absolute value of previous object voltage OUT_TP1_6 and the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2_6 are all greater than charge threshold level TH_P3.If now unit such as gradeization 108 performs operation such as gradeization, the power consumption of driver module 100 can be increased on the contrary.Therefore, judging unit 106 is low logic level at change control signal EQ such as time point T2 to time point T3 maintain, to maintain output voltage OUT.Accordingly, the power consumption of driver module 100 can be optimized.In addition, please refer to curve C 7 and the curve C 8 of Fig. 2 D.The operating process of the drive unit 10 that curve C 7 is corresponding with curve C 8 is similar to curve C 5 in Fig. 2 C and curve C 6 respectively, for the sake of clarity, is not repeated herein.
It should be noted that the reversing mode of above-described embodiment according to display system, judge that whether the polarity of the output voltage corresponding to adjacent data line is identical.If the polarity corresponding to the output voltage of adjacent data line is different, then according to the current goal magnitude of voltage of output voltage, determine whether implement operation such as gradeization.If the polarity of output voltage corresponding to adjacent data line is identical, then according to the difference between the previous object magnitude of voltage of output voltage and current goal magnitude of voltage, determine that whether implementing gradeizations operates.Accordingly, the power consumption of drive unit can be optimized.According to different application, those skilled in the art should implement suitable change and amendment according to this.For example, charge threshold level TH_P1 and charge threshold level TH_P2 can be identical numerical value.What is more, charge threshold level TH_P3 also can be equal to charge threshold level TH_P4.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of drive unit 10 1 embodiment shown in Fig. 1.As shown in Figure 3, judging unit 106 realized by working storage J0 ~ J2, mutual exclusion or lock XOR and selection unit MUX, and unit such as grade 108 is made up of interrupteur SW 1, SW2.About the detailed operation process of the drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 3, illustrate as follows.In this embodiment, charge threshold level TH_P1 ~ TH_P4 equals a critical value TH.According to current data line information CLI, judging unit 106 judges whether the absolute value of current goal voltage is greater than critical value TH, and judged result is stored in working storage J0.For example, when the absolute value of current goal voltage is greater than critical value TH, a high logical signal is stored in working storage J0 by judging unit 106; Otherwise when the absolute value of current goal voltage is less than critical value TH, a low logical signal is stored in working storage J0 by judging unit 106.Similarly, according to past data line information PLI, judging unit 106 judges whether the absolute value of previous object voltage is greater than critical value TH, and judged result is stored in working storage J1.Two input ends of mutual exclusion or lock XOR are coupled to working storage J0, J1.According to the characteristic of mutual exclusion or lock XOR, when the output of mutual exclusion or lock XOR is high logical signal, represent the absolute value of current goal voltage and previous object voltage absolute value one of them be greater than critical value TH; Otherwise when the output of mutual exclusion or lock XOR is low logical signal, the absolute value of the absolute value and previous object voltage that represent current goal voltage is all greater than or is all less than critical value TH.Accordingly, selection unit MUX can according to polarity inversion signal POL, selects working storage J0 or the output of mutual exclusion or lock XOR as waiting change control signal EQ, and is stored in working storage J2.Working storage J2 is used for coordinating the clock signal (not being illustrated in Fig. 3) of driver module 100, exports control signal EQ such as gradeizations, operates the change such as to complete.
For example, when polarity switch signal POL indicates output voltage OUT when the polarity of continuous print time interval TP1, TP2 is different, judging unit 106 is first according to the clock signal of driver module 100, by adjustment reset signal SOG, actuating switch SW2 in impulsive T_EQ, to reset to ground terminal voltage GND by output voltage OUT.Selection unit MUX selects working storage J0 as control signal EQ such as gradeization, whether to be greater than critical value TH according to the current goal voltage OUT_TP2 corresponding to time interval TP2, implements operation such as gradeization.If the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 is greater than critical value TH, working storage J0 exports high logical signal, and is stored in working storage J2.Working storage J2 coordinates driver module 100 clock signal, exports control signal EQ such as gradeization, with actuating switch SW1, thus output voltage OUT is charged to pre-charge pressure VPRE in advance.It is noted that in this embodiment, the polarity of pre-charge pressure VPRE can convert along with current goal voltage OUT_TP2.Otherwise if current goal voltage is less than critical value TH, working storage J0 exports low logical signal, and is stored in working storage J2.Working storage J2 coordinates driver module 100 clock signal, exports control signal EQ such as gradeization, and with cut-off switch SW1, output voltage OUT maintains ground terminal voltage GND.Accordingly, the power consumption of driver module 100 can be optimized.
On the other hand, when polarity switch signal POL indicates output voltage OUT when the polarity of continuous print time interval TP1, TP2 is identical, selection unit MUX selects the output of mutual exclusion or lock XOR as waiting change control signal EQ, whether be greater than critical value TH with the absolute value of the absolute value according to the current goal voltage OUT_TP2 corresponding to time interval TP2 and the previous object voltage OUT_TP1 corresponding to time interval TP1, implement operation such as gradeization.Current goal voltage OUT_TP2 and previous object voltage OUT_TP1 one of them when being greater than critical value TH, mutual exclusion or lock XOR export high logical signal and are stored in working storage J2.Working storage J2 coordinates driver module 100 clock signal, exports control signal EQ such as gradeization, with actuating switch SW1, thus output voltage OUT is charged to pre-charge pressure VPRE in advance.Otherwise, if when the absolute value of the absolute value of current goal voltage OUT_TP2 and previous object voltage OUT_TP1 is all greater than or is all less than critical value TH, working storage J0 exports low logical signal, and be stored in working storage J2.Working storage J2, according to driver module 100 clock signal, exports control signal EQ such as gradeization, with cut-off switch SW1.Output voltage OUT will be maintained previous object voltage OUT_TP1.Accordingly, the power consumption of driver module 100 can effectively be reduced.
In addition, if critical value TH be the half of driver module 100 supply voltage and current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI respectively with n bit signal CD [n:0], PD [n:0] time, judging unit 106 directly can use the highest significant position unit (MSB) of current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI, i.e. bit CD [n] and PD [n], as the output of working storage J0 and working storage J1.Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram for another embodiment of drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 1.Drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 4 is similar to the drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 3, and signal and the element therefore with identical function use identical symbol.In this embodiment, because charge threshold level TH_P1 ~ TH_P4 equals the half of driver module 100 supply voltage, therefore the highest significant position unit of current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI can directly as the output of working storage J0 and working storage J1.Thus, the drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 4 can be more succinct circuit realiration judging unit 106.DOP detailed operating procedure about the drive unit 10 shown in Fig. 4 with reference to above-mentioned, for the sake of clarity, can be not repeated herein.It should be noted that, in this embodiment, according to different charge threshold level TH_P1 ~ TH_P4, judging unit 106 can use except all the other bits of highest significant position unit are as the foundation judging current goal voltage OUT_TP2, previous object voltage OUT_TP1 in current data line information CLI and past data line information PLI, and is not limited to the implementation of Fig. 4.
Above-mentioned module such as gradeization 100, according to the reversing mode of display system, adopts different determination methods to determine whether implementing the operating process of operation such as gradeization, can be summarized in first method 50, please refer to Fig. 5.If it is noted that can obtain identical result in fact, the sequence of steps of equalization method 50 is not limited to the sequence of steps shown in Fig. 5.As shown in Figure 5, equalization method 50 can be used for a drive unit, and comprises following steps:
Step 500: start.
Step 502: according to the reversing mode of display system being coupled to drive unit, the polarity of the output voltage of judging-driving unit in a very first time interval with one second time interval in whether different, to produce a polarity inversion signal.When polarity inversion signal instruction output voltage polarity in very first time interval with the second time interval in different time, perform step 504; Otherwise, perform step 512.
Step 504: between very first time interval and the second time interval in an impulsive, resets to ground terminal voltage by output voltage.
Step 506: according to a current data line information, judges the magnitude relationship between current goal voltage and one first critical voltage and one second critical voltage.If the absolute value of current goal voltage is greater than the first critical voltage, perform step 508; If the absolute value of current goal voltage is less than the second critical voltage, perform step 510.
Step 508: perform operation such as gradeization.
Step 510: not perform etc. and change operation.
Step 512: according to current data line information and a past data line information, judges the magnitude relationship between current goal voltage, previous object voltage and one the 3rd critical voltage and one the 4th critical voltage.When previous target voltage is greater than the 3rd critical voltage and current goal voltage is less than the 4th critical voltage, or when previous target voltage is less than the 4th critical voltage and current goal voltage is greater than the 3rd critical voltage, perform step 508; When previous target voltage and current goal voltage are all less than the 4th critical voltage, or when previous object voltage and current goal voltage are all greater than the 3rd critical voltage, perform step 510.
Step 514: terminate.
