技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及一种液晶显示器(LCD),且特别有关于以脉冲宽度调变方式来调整液晶显示器的明亮对比(Constrast)的调整电路,其利用数字控制电路,来调整LCD扫描的导通-截止周期(On-Off duty),以达成明亮对比的调整,具有低耗电、小面积与高调整率的优点。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD), and in particular to an adjustment circuit for adjusting the brightness contrast (Constrast) of the liquid crystal display by means of pulse width modulation, which utilizes a digital control circuit to adjust the on-off of LCD scanning On-Off duty, to achieve bright contrast adjustment, has the advantages of low power consumption, small area and high adjustment rate.
背景技术 Background technique
现行电气系统中,多存在有LCD液晶显示器作为人机之间的接口,并且由于使用上的需求,LCD点数越来有越多的趋势。但是,LCD存在视角及高电压相关的特性,造成LCD的亮度对使用者来说,并无法维持一定不变。所以对于LCD明亮对比,能够由使用者来调整,就变成所有LCD驱动器所要面临的重要课题。In the current electrical system, there are many LCD liquid crystal displays as the interface between man and machine, and due to the needs of use, there is a trend of more and more LCD points. However, the LCD has characteristics related to viewing angle and high voltage, so that the brightness of the LCD cannot be kept constant for users. Therefore, it becomes an important issue for all LCD drivers to adjust the brightness contrast of LCD by the user.
由于高点数LCD为节省输出端口的数量,多使用扫描式驱动电路,更加深了对比度的下降,造成显示效果的恶化。一般现行的LCD驱动波形可参见于图1。在图1当中显示了多种驱动波形,除了静态式之外,其余均为扫描式包括1/2周期、1/2偏压;1/3周期、1/3偏压...等。其工作方式可见于图1下方所示。LCD上感受的真实电压为SEG-COM,在图中可以发现除静态式之外,其余各种驱动方法在LCD点不亮时,并非零电压,因此这缘故来造成LCD明亮对比下降,以及高视角、高电压电平依存度的问题。要解决这点必须在LCD驱动器上,作一可调明亮对比电路,来调高电压漂移及使用者视角变动所造成明亮对比的不正确。In order to save the number of output ports, high-dot LCDs use more scanning drive circuits, which further reduces the contrast and deteriorates the display effect. General current LCD driving waveforms can be seen in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows a variety of driving waveforms, except for the static type, the rest are scanning types including 1/2 cycle, 1/2 bias voltage; 1/3 cycle, 1/3 bias voltage...etc. How it works can be seen at the bottom of Figure 1. The real voltage felt on the LCD is SEG-COM. It can be found in the figure that except for the static driving method, the other driving methods are not zero voltage when the LCD is off. Angle of view, high voltage level dependence. To solve this problem, an adjustable brightness contrast circuit must be built on the LCD driver to adjust the brightness contrast error caused by voltage drift and user viewing angle changes.
现行的明亮对比调整电路,多以调整操作电压来完成。主要原理是由图2中的操作电压(Driving Voltage),使得LCD特性曲线能使得亮度的Bns/Bs大小差别加大。也就使得Cr变大(Cr为明亮对比比率),对比度增强。然而欲使得操作电压得以变动,现行多以整压电路(Regulator)或电阻分压电路完成。但是,利用整压电路或电阻分压电路会面临三个问题:The current bright contrast adjustment circuit is mostly completed by adjusting the operating voltage. The main principle is that the operating voltage (Driving Voltage) in Figure 2 makes the LCD characteristic curve increase the difference in brightness Bns/Bs. It also makes Cr larger (Cr is the bright contrast ratio), and the contrast is enhanced. However, in order to change the operating voltage, it is usually accomplished by a regulator or a resistor divider circuit. However, using a voltage rectifier circuit or a resistor divider circuit will face three problems:
1耗电量过大-由于电压调整电路存在直流路径,并且由于供给功率的关系,所以直流电阻都不可能设计太小,因此耗电量非常可观,约有10μA的级数的耗电,非常不利于待机使用。1 Excessive power consumption - due to the existence of a DC path in the voltage adjustment circuit and the power supply, it is impossible to design the DC resistance too small, so the power consumption is very considerable, about 10μA series of power consumption, very Not good for standby use.
2.电路困难度与电路面积过大。2. Circuit difficulty and circuit area are too large.
3.无法作细微的调整-由于电压调整电路的复杂性很难作细微调整。3. Unable to make fine adjustments - it is difficult to make fine adjustments due to the complexity of the voltage adjustment circuit.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
一般说来,LCD驱动器输出的波形如图1所示,分为两大类-静态式与扫描式(或称多工式)。静态式输出为一较单纯的单点控制,其Vrms值如下:Generally speaking, the waveform output by the LCD driver is shown in Figure 1, which can be divided into two categories - static type and scanning type (or multiplexing type). The static output is a relatively simple single-point control, and its Vrms value is as follows:
而扫描式的Vrms值与偏压数及周期数有关。扫描式的方法为commonpin(com)输出一扫描波形,并对segment(seg)输出信号作分时扫描。至于LCD面板(panel)感应到的电压,实际上为seg-com的电压差,所以只要在common扫描的时间内能使得seg-com的电压差足够大,就可使LCD面板即时反转,造成光线无法通过而显示。至于其Vrms受到common数量(duty数)及偏压数(Bias数)所影响,举例来说一个1/4周期,1/3偏压的LCD驱动器(Driver)波形如图3、图4所示。图3显示的是在com0扫描时间上LCD显示off的波形。图4绘示的是在com1扫描时间上LCD显示display on的波形。其Vrms值如下:The scanning Vrms value is related to the number of bias voltages and the number of cycles. The scanning method is that the commonpin (com) outputs a scanning waveform, and performs time-sharing scanning on the segment (seg) output signal. As for the voltage sensed by the LCD panel (panel), it is actually the voltage difference of seg-com, so as long as the voltage difference of seg-com can be made large enough within the common scan time, the LCD panel can be reversed immediately, resulting in Light cannot pass through to show. As for its Vrms is affected by the common number (duty number) and the bias voltage (Bias number), for example, a 1/4 cycle, 1/3 bias LCD driver (Driver) waveform is shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Figure 3 shows the waveform of LCD display off during com0 scan time. Figure 4 shows the waveform of LCD display display on during com1 scan time. Its Vrms value is as follows:
Vrms-on=(1/4*(1/2Vop)2+1/4(1/6Vop)2+1/4(-1/6Vop)2+1/4(1/2Vop)2)1/2=√1/12VopVrms-on=(1/4*(1/2Vop) 2 +1/4(1/6Vop) 2 +1/4(-1/6Vop) 2 +1/4(1/2Vop) 2 ) 1/2 =√1/12Vop
Vrms-off=(1/4*(1/6Vop)2+1/4(1/6Vop)2+1/4(-1/6Vop)2+1/4(-1/6Vop)2)1/2=√1/36Vop(Vop最大输出电压)Vrms-off=(1/4*(1/6Vop) 2 +1/4(1/6Vop) 2 +1/4(-1/6Vop) 2 +1/4(-1/6Vop) 2 ) 1/ 2 =√1/36Vop (Vop maximum output voltage)
Vrms-on/Vrms-off=√3=1.7321Vrms-on/Vrms-off=√3=1.7321
由于LCD面板的亮度取决于面板感受电压差的Vrms值,不同的Vrms对应一个测量的亮度值。一般我们定义对比比率(Contrast Ratio)为导通-截止(On-Off)时的亮度值Since the brightness of the LCD panel depends on the Vrms value of the panel's perceived voltage difference, different Vrms correspond to a measured brightness value. Generally, we define the contrast ratio (Contrast Ratio) as the brightness value at the time of on-off (On-Off)
Cr=Bon/BoffCr=Bon/Boff
而对比度定义为1减去对比率的倒数while contrast is defined as 1 minus the reciprocal of the contrast ratio
C=1-1/CrC=1-1/Cr
所以如果Bon值越大,Cr上升,C上升。而Boff值越小,Cr值上升,C上升。而Bon,Boff值的大小又正比于Vrms,所以要调整亮度就必须使Vrms-on值加大,而使得Bon上升。要调整对比度就要想办法使得Vrms-on上升,Vrms-off下降,使得Bon上升,Boff下降。So if the Bon value is bigger, Cr goes up and C goes up. The smaller the Boff value, the higher the Cr value and the higher the C. And the value of Bon and Boff is proportional to Vrms, so to adjust the brightness, it is necessary to increase the value of Vrms-on, so that Bon rises. To adjust the contrast, it is necessary to find a way to increase Vrms-on, decrease Vrms-off, increase Bon, and decrease Boff.
LCD面板的特性除了受Vrms影响外,还受视角的影响,也就是在相同Vrms下,不同的视角会造成不同的亮度值。In addition to being affected by Vrms, the characteristics of the LCD panel are also affected by the viewing angle, that is, under the same Vrms, different viewing angles will result in different brightness values.
现行的液晶显示器,由于上述的特性会面临亮度值与对比值变动的问题。主要是由于供给电压与视角的变动。由于供给电压的变动会造成Vrms的变动,所以亮度与对比都会跟着变动。而使用者的视角又无法确定,所以一个最佳的LCD驱动器应该包含一个使用者得以自行设定亮度的电路,由使用者自行依据当时的状况加以设定。所以一个可调亮度的LCD驱动器便应运而生。Due to the above-mentioned characteristics, the current liquid crystal display faces the problem of changing brightness value and contrast value. Mainly due to changes in supply voltage and viewing angle. Because the change of supply voltage will cause the change of Vrms, so the brightness and contrast will change accordingly. And the user's viewing angle cannot be determined, so an optimal LCD driver should include a circuit for the user to set the brightness by himself, and the user can set it according to the current situation. So a LCD driver with adjustable brightness comes into being.
现行的可调亮度LCD驱动器处理原理多从控制Vop电压的值来处理。做法可分为二类。第一类使用电阻分压网络来衰减调整Vop值。也就是内部内建一串电阻,利用电器信号来控制这串电阻值的大小。因为电阻分压的效应就会使得Vop值被调整。至于作法有的加在内部电源供给的位置,有的则加在Common与Segment的输出上。第二类则使用电压调整器(Regulator),设计一个可调电压输出值的电压调整器于内部电源供给的位置,经由调整此电压输出值来调整Vop值。不论上述那一类电路设计都会有高耗电、高电路复杂及不易设计多段可调电路的缺点。因此本发明在提出一个以数字式的整波电路,来调整明亮度及对比度,并应用CMOS数字电路的低耗电、低复杂度、低面积与高可调性来克服现行方法的问题。The current adjustable brightness LCD driver processing principle is mostly handled from the value of controlling the Vop voltage. The practices can be divided into two categories. The first type uses a resistor divider network to attenuate and adjust the Vop value. That is, a string of resistors is built inside, and the electrical signal is used to control the value of the string of resistors. Because of the effect of resistor voltage division, the Vop value will be adjusted. As for the method, some are added to the position of the internal power supply, and some are added to the output of Common and Segment. The second type uses a voltage regulator (Regulator), and a voltage regulator with adjustable voltage output value is designed at the position of the internal power supply, and the Vop value is adjusted by adjusting the voltage output value. Regardless of the above-mentioned circuit design, there will be disadvantages of high power consumption, high circuit complexity, and difficulty in designing multi-stage adjustable circuits. Therefore, the present invention proposes a digital rectifying circuit to adjust the brightness and contrast, and uses the low power consumption, low complexity, low area and high adjustability of the CMOS digital circuit to overcome the problems of the current method.
本发明所提出的方式不在于调整Vop,而在于调整其输出波形的脉冲宽度。使得在图1当中,进行修正其波形on的宽度,而由100%降至n%,造成Vrms会跟着变动,如同调整Vop,而使亮度跟着变动。The method proposed by the present invention is not to adjust Vop, but to adjust the pulse width of its output waveform. Therefore, in Figure 1, the width of the waveform on is corrected from 100% to n%, causing Vrms to change accordingly, just like adjusting Vop, so that the brightness changes accordingly.
接着,在图5绘示依照本发明一较佳实施例的一种调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置。包括由一计数器10、一比较器12、六个反相器14~24、第一“与”门25、第二“与”门26、第三“与”门28、T触发器30、多个反相器32~38、多个“与”门40~54、节点输出门56所构成。Next, a pulse width modulation device for adjusting the brightness contrast of a liquid crystal display according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5 .

至于,六个反相器16~22,分别接收第一时钟CLK 16348、第二时钟CLK 8192、第三时钟CLK 4096、第四时钟CLK 2048、第五时钟CLK 1024以及第六时钟CLK 512后,再分别送出一反相第一时钟、一反相第二时钟、一反相第三时钟到第一“与”门25,与送出一反相第四时钟、一反相第五时钟以及一反相第六时钟到第二“与”门26。而第一“与”门25所送出第一输出信号114与第二“与”门26所送出第二输出信号116,则输入到第三“与”门28,然后送出一第三输出信号118。接着T触发器30,接收比较信号EQ、第三输出信号118以及输入电压Vcc后,送出一脉冲宽度调变信号120。As for the six inverters 16-22, after respectively receiving the first clock CLK 16348, the second clock CLK 8192, the third clock CLK 4096, the fourth clock CLK 2048, the fifth clock CLK 1024 and the sixth clock CLK 512, Then send an inverted first clock, an inverted second clock, and an inverted third clock to the first "AND"

由上述电路运作下,来调整输出common的脉冲宽度,我们可藉由原先图3COM0扫描时间上LCD显示off的波形与图6绘示调整输出common的脉冲宽度后,COM0扫描时间上LCD显示off的波形,进行比较下,COM0波形产生变化,使得COM-SEG所输出的波型也产生变化。相同的,原先图4绘示在com1扫描时间上LCD显示on的波形,与图7绘示调整输出common的脉冲宽度后,COM1扫描时间上LCD显示on的波形,进行比较下,COM0波形产生变化,使得COM-SEG所输出的波型也产生变化。Under the operation of the above circuit, to adjust the pulse width of the output common, we can use the waveform of the LCD displaying off at the scanning time of COM0 in Figure 3 and Figure 6 to show that after adjusting the pulse width of the output common, the LCD displaying off at the scanning time of COM0 For comparison, the waveform of COM0 changes, so that the waveform output by COM-SEG also changes. Similarly, the original figure 4 shows the waveform of the LCD displaying on during the scan time of com1, and Figure 7 shows the waveform of the LCD displaying on during the scan time of COM1 after adjusting the pulse width of the output common. By comparison, the waveform of COM0 changes , so that the waveform output by COM-SEG also changes.
为更进一步清楚调整脉冲宽度所产生的影响,我们调整on时common on的宽度,而由100%降至n%,则Vrms被修正如下:静态:
所以经由调整common输出波形的宽度,得以达到调整Vrms-on的电压差,也就是亮度被调整。而图5、图6就是使脉冲宽度调为50%的结果,来调整1/3偏压1/4周期的驱动电路。其结果Therefore, by adjusting the width of the common output waveform, the voltage difference of Vrms-on can be adjusted, that is, the brightness is adjusted. Figure 5 and Figure 6 are the result of adjusting the pulse width to 50% to adjust the driving circuit of 1/3
此外,我们也可以对segment所输出的节电信号进行宽度调变而构成本发明的第二型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置,如图8所示,在图中与图5相同构成部分包括一计数器10、一比较器12、六个反相器14~24、第一“与”门25、第二“与”门26、第三“与”门28、T触发器30、多个反相器32~38、多个“与”门40~46、节点输出门56所构成。而相异部分在将原先多个“与”门48~54去除,并增加一个第十九“与”门90。In addition, we can also perform width modulation on the power-saving signal output by the segment to form the second type of pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of the liquid crystal display of the present invention, as shown in Figure 8, which is the same as Figure 5 The constituent parts include a
由于,上述结构多有相似之处,在此不再重复说明连接关系,而针对不同的地方作进一步说明。因为第二型的调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置为调整输出segment的波形宽度,所以原先由T触发器30所输出的脉冲宽度调变信号120,将与节点输出门56送出一节点信号SEG,同时输入到第十九“与”门90后,产生一调变节点信号SEG′,而不像图5以脉冲宽度调变信号120,来调整common输出波形的宽度。Since there are many similarities in the above-mentioned structures, the description of the connection relationship will not be repeated here, and further description will be given for the different places. Because the second type of pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of the liquid crystal display is to adjust the waveform width of the output segment, the pulse
上述电路将segment输出为on时的宽度调整,如图9、图10分别绘示调整输出segment的脉冲宽度后,COM0扫描时间上LCD显示off的波形,与调整输出segment的脉冲宽度后,COM1扫描时间上LCD显示on的波形。在分别与图3、4进行比较下,我们可以发现SEG波形产生变化,使得COM-SEG所输出的波型也产生变化。The above circuit adjusts the width of the segment output when it is on. As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10, after adjusting the pulse width of the output segment, the LCD displays the off waveform during the scanning time of COM0, and after adjusting the pulse width of the output segment, COM1 scans In time, the LCD displays the on waveform. Comparing with Figures 3 and 4 respectively, we can find that the waveform of SEG changes, which makes the waveform output by COM-SEG also change.
为更进一步清楚调整脉冲宽度所产生的影响,我们调整on时segment on的宽度,例如由100%降至n%,则Vrms被修正如下:In order to further clarify the impact of adjusting the pulse width, we adjust the width of segment on when on, for example, from 100% to n%, then Vrms is corrected as follows:
我们可以得到与上述发明的调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置效果相同,而达到调整亮度的目的。We can obtain the same effect as the pulse width modulation device of the above-mentioned invention for adjusting the bright contrast of the liquid crystal display, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the brightness.
同理,我们可以将上述两种结合来同时使用,即同时调整common与segment,如图11所绘示为本发明的第三型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置。我们可以看出本发明的第三型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置,为图5与图7的调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置结合,即将T触发器30所输出的脉冲宽度调变信号120,不但如图5输出到“与”门48~54,来产生第一至第四调变共点输出信号COM0~COM3,而且将T触发器30所输出的脉冲宽度调变信号120,将与节点输出门56送出一节点信号SEG,同时输入到第十九“与”门90后,产生一调变节点信号SEG’。至于其他相似结构部分,因为与上述两者作用相同,在此不再重复说明连接关系。Similarly, we can use the above two in combination, that is, adjust the common and the segment at the same time, as shown in FIG. 11 , which is the third type of pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of the liquid crystal display of the present invention. We can see that the third type pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of a liquid crystal display of the present invention is a combination of the pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of a liquid crystal display of FIG. 5 and FIG. The pulse
上述电路将segment与common输出为on时的宽度调整,如图12、图13分别绘示调整输出segment与common的脉冲宽度后,COM0扫描时间上LCD显示off的波形,与调整输出segment与common的脉冲宽度后,COM1扫描时间上LCD显示on的波形。在分别与图3、4进行比较下,我们可以发现COM、SEG波形产生变化,使得COM-SEG所产生的波型也产生变化。The above circuit adjusts the width of the segment and common outputs when they are on. As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, after adjusting the pulse width of the output segment and common, the LCD displays the off waveform during the scan time of COM0, and adjusts the output segment and common. After the pulse width, the LCD displays the on waveform on the COM1 scan time. Comparing with Figures 3 and 4 respectively, we can find that the waveforms of COM and SEG change, which makes the waveform generated by COM-SEG also change.
为更进一步清楚调整脉冲宽度所产生的影响,我们调整on时segment与common on的宽度,例如由100%降至n%,则Vrms被修正如下:In order to further clarify the impact of adjusting the pulse width, we adjust the width of segment and common on when on, for example, from 100% to n%, then Vrms is corrected as follows:
在上述三种方式都得到相同的结果,也就是Vrms-on被衰减,造成亮度被衰减,而对比也被衰减。虽然对比的衰减无法补救,但是亮度可由Vop来补偿。也就是提高固定Vop电压、或降低LCD面板的起始电压值。举例来说,例如以一个电池为电源(power source)的应用。电池电压值有±10%的变动,所以Vop也有±10%的变动。我们以最低电压0.9Vop作为设计的中心。也就是设计一个n=100的状况适应0.9Vop的电源共应去设计一个LCD面板
而当电源供应增为1.1Vop时,n为And when the power supply is increased to 1.1Vop, n is
当然,于此种方法Vrms-off并无法经由调整脉冲宽度n%而变动,所以会使Von/Voff下降,造成明亮对比下降,由于亮度对于电压差为非线性的关系。所以我们可以牺牲小部分的亮度对比下降,就能获得高度的亮度调整。至于电路的设计如以上述三种电路来构成。其中基频例如以32768的振荡,64Hz的帧比例(Frame ratio)的所形成电路,见于图5、图8、图11中。我们可以见到为一全部数字电路控制,所以耗电量、电路面积都非常微小。而上述图5、图8、图11中,共可将脉冲宽度调整26=64个位阶,这一点是现行调整电路所无法达到的。Of course, in this method, Vrms-off cannot be changed by adjusting the pulse width n%, so Von/Voff will decrease, resulting in a decrease in brightness contrast, because the relationship between brightness and voltage difference is nonlinear. So we can sacrifice a small part of the brightness contrast drop to obtain a high degree of brightness adjustment. As for the design of the circuit, it is composed of the above three circuits. Wherein the basic frequency is oscillating at 32768, for example, and the formed circuit with a frame ratio of 64 Hz is shown in FIG. 5 , FIG. 8 , and FIG. 11 . We can see that it is controlled by a whole digital circuit, so the power consumption and circuit area are very small. In Fig. 5 , Fig. 8 , and Fig. 11 above, the pulse width can be adjusted by 2 6 =64 steps in total, which cannot be achieved by the current adjustment circuit.
上述三型电路都有一个共同特性,就是Vrms-off为一定值,并未能因脉冲宽度比而改变,所以对比会因而下降。因此本发明再提出第四型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置,来改善上述情形发生。The above-mentioned three types of circuits all have a common feature, that is, Vrms-off is a certain value, which cannot be changed by the pulse width ratio, so the contrast will decrease accordingly. Therefore, the present invention proposes a fourth pulse width modulation device for adjusting the brightness contrast of a liquid crystal display to improve the above situation.
如图14绘示本发明的第四型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置。我们可以发现与上述图5、图8、图11不同之处在,将T触发器30所输出的脉冲宽度调变信号120,送到第五反相器后,再产生一反相脉冲宽度调变信号DISLCD,用以控制节点信号与共点信号输出相同电平的电压。即DISLCD信号去控制外部4个通道(Chennel)的乘法器(Multiplier),使得common与segment都输出同一电压,所以电压差为0。FIG. 14 shows a fourth type of pulse width modulation device for adjusting the brightness contrast of a liquid crystal display according to the present invention. We can find that the difference from the above-mentioned Fig. 5, Fig. 8, and Fig. 11 is that the pulse
接着,在图15、16可看出第四型调整液晶显示器明亮对比的脉冲宽度调变装置的输出波形。其基本的理念是当我们调整波形宽度为off时,实际上所有的点都为off的,所以我们可以将所有的common与segment的输出部拉为同一电位。也就是输出一个Disable信号,将Driver LCD部分的多工电压输出一固定电压或将偏压电路关掉。其详细的Vrms如下所示:Next, in FIGS. 15 and 16, it can be seen that the output waveform of the fourth type pulse width modulation device for adjusting the bright contrast of the liquid crystal display. The basic idea is that when we adjust the waveform width to off, all points are actually off, so we can pull all common and segment outputs to the same potential. That is to output a Disable signal, output the multiplexing voltage of the Driver LCD part to a fixed voltage or turn off the bias circuit. Its detailed Vrms are as follows:
由上式可发现当n值变小时,Vrms-on变小,Vrms-off也同样变小。其
利用此Vequ-op可以由图2的驱动(Drive)电压去匹配(match)一个最佳的明亮对比比率。Utilizing this Vequ-op, an optimal bright contrast ratio can be matched by the driving (Drive) voltage in FIG. 2 .
举例来说,以上一例±10%的变动功率,可由n值的变动作补偿。结果如下:For example, the variable power of ±10% in the above example can be compensated by the variation of n value. The result is as follows:
n0.9=100n0.9=100
n1=81n1=81
n1.1=66.94n1.1=66.94
也就是说可以利用n值的调整去匹配功率的变动,而不改任何的性能(performance)。并且对比度(Contrast)不变动,同样的视角变动成亮度对比变动,也可经由此法补偿回去。第四型的调整电路不只有前三型的好处,更可克服因Vrms-off无法下降所可能造成的鬼影效应。比较现行的各项方法,更有低耗电、低电路复杂度、低成本、高可调率的优点。That is to say, the adjustment of n value can be used to match the change of power without changing any performance. And the contrast (Contrast) does not change, and the same change in viewing angle becomes a change in brightness contrast, which can also be compensated by this method. The fourth type of adjustment circuit not only has the benefits of the first three types, but also overcomes the ghost effect that may be caused by the failure of Vrms-off to decrease. Compared with the current methods, it has the advantages of low power consumption, low circuit complexity, low cost and high adjustable rate.
综上所述,本发明以调变脉冲宽度来调整液晶显示器明亮对比的装置,以计数器、比较器、T触发器、多个反相器以及多个“与”门所构成数字电路,不但所占电路面积非常的微小,而且耗电量也非常微小,更具有整压电路或电阻分压电路所无法达到的高调整率。且第四型中藉由调整输出电压,不但可增加明亮对比,也可消除鬼影现象。In summary, the present invention adjusts the bright contrast device of the liquid crystal display by modulating the pulse width, and constitutes a digital circuit with a counter, a comparator, a T flip-flop, a plurality of inverters and a plurality of "AND" gates, not only The circuit area is very small, and the power consumption is also very small, and it has a high adjustment rate that cannot be achieved by a voltage regulator circuit or a resistor divider circuit. And in the fourth type, by adjusting the output voltage, not only the bright contrast can be increased, but also the ghost phenomenon can be eliminated.
虽然本发明已以数个佳实施例揭露如上,然其并非用以限定本发明,任何本领域的技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可作各种的更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求范围所界定的为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above with several preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make various modifications and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. , so the protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
