本發明係關於一種液晶顯示裝置及其顯示輝度調節方法。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a display luminance adjusting method thereof.
液晶顯示裝置因具有低輻射性、體積輕薄短小及耗電低等特點,現已廣泛應用於手機、個人數位助理、筆記型電腦、個人電腦及電視等領域。液晶顯示裝置作為一種顯示裝置,其顯示輝度係一主要性能參數。為滿足不同情形之顯示輝度需求,需要對液晶顯示裝置之輝度進行調整。如,在光線較暗之室內,需將液晶顯示裝置調整至相對較低之顯示輝度,以避免過高輝度對觀看者眼睛之傷害。通常可藉由驅動一暴露於環境光中之非晶矽薄膜電晶體,以產生一對應環境光強度之光電流,並藉由一處理單元接收該光電流,經處理後輸出與光電流強度對應之環境光強度訊號至一輝度調節單元,輝度調節單元依據環境光強度訊號適當調節液晶顯示裝置之輝度。Due to its low radiation, short size and low power consumption, liquid crystal display devices are widely used in mobile phones, personal digital assistants, notebook computers, personal computers and televisions. As a display device, a liquid crystal display device displays a main performance parameter of luminance. In order to meet the display luminance requirements of different situations, it is necessary to adjust the luminance of the liquid crystal display device. For example, in a dark room, the liquid crystal display device should be adjusted to a relatively low display brightness to avoid excessive brightness to the viewer's eyes. Generally, an amorphous germanium thin film transistor exposed to ambient light is driven to generate a photocurrent corresponding to ambient light intensity, and the photocurrent is received by a processing unit, and the processed output corresponds to the photocurrent intensity. The ambient light intensity signal is sent to a brightness adjustment unit, and the brightness adjustment unit appropriately adjusts the brightness of the liquid crystal display device according to the ambient light intensity signal.
惟,該液晶顯示裝置藉由單一之非晶矽薄膜電晶體感測各種照度之環境光,其易因長時間暴露於環境光之中並被驅動而導致非晶矽薄膜電晶體產生內部結構缺陷,其光電轉換效率降低,造成在同一環境光之中其所輸出之光電流衰減,從而依據該光電流調節液晶顯示裝置輝度之可靠性降低。However, the liquid crystal display device senses ambient light of various illuminances by a single amorphous germanium film transistor, which is easily exposed to ambient light for a long time and is driven to cause internal structural defects of the amorphous germanium film transistor. The photoelectric conversion efficiency is lowered, and the photocurrent outputted by the same ambient light is attenuated, so that the reliability of adjusting the luminance of the liquid crystal display device is lowered according to the photocurrent.
有鑑於此,提供一種可靠性較高之液晶顯示裝置實為必要。In view of this, it is necessary to provide a liquid crystal display device with high reliability.

本發明之液晶顯示裝置及其顯示輝度調節方法採用一處理單元依據環境光照度選擇驅動至少二感光單元之其中一個,當該液晶顯示裝置分別置於不同環境光照度之環境中時,即可選擇驅動不同之感光單元,從而一定程度減少單個感光單元被驅動之時間,減少感光單元因長時間被驅動而光電轉換效率降低之機率,使得依據該感光裝置所輸出感測訊號調節顯示輝度之液晶顯示裝置可靠性較高。The liquid crystal display device of the present invention and the display brightness adjusting method thereof adopt a processing unit to selectively drive one of the at least two photosensitive units according to the ambient light degree. When the liquid crystal display device is respectively placed in an environment with different ambient light levels, the driving can be selected differently. The photosensitive unit, thereby reducing the time for driving a single photosensitive unit to a certain extent, reducing the probability that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photosensitive unit is lowered due to long-time driving, so that the liquid crystal display device that adjusts the display brightness according to the sensing signal outputted by the photosensitive device is reliable.

請一併參閱圖3及圖4,圖3係圖2所示感光裝置20之電路結構示意圖,圖4係該液晶顯示裝置之控制電路之方框圖。該第一感光元件260、該第二感光元件262、該第三感光元件264、該第四感光元件266及該第五感光元件267之汲極連接在一起並經一第一電阻268接地,從該公共之汲極即可測量光電壓Vp。該補償元件27用於產生一對比參考值。該補償元件27之閘極及源極分別連接至一固定之閘極電壓Vg及一固定之源極電壓Vs,其汲極經一第二電阻269接地。該補償元件27於該閘極電壓Vg之作用下於其源極與汲極之間產生一導電溝道,該源極電壓驅動該導電溝道中之電子朝該汲極運動產生電流,電流經該第二電阻269並於該汲極輸出該參考電壓Vr。該第二電阻269之電阻值等於該第一電阻268之電阻值。Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together.

The compensating element 27 generates a conductive channel between the source and the drain thereof under the action of the gate voltage Vg, and the source voltage drives the electrons in the conductive channel to generate a current toward the drain, and the current flows through the The second resistor 269 outputs the reference voltage Vr at the drain. The resistance of the second resistor 269 is equal to the resistance of the first resistor 268.
該控制電路28包括一處理單元280及一輝度調節單元288。該處理單元280包括一差動放大器281、一類比/數位轉換器282、一微處理器284及一記憶單元286。該差動放大器281之二輸入端分別接收光電壓Vp及參考電壓Vr,並輸出該光電壓Vp與參考電壓Vr之差值電壓△V(未標示)。該類比/數位轉換器將該差值電壓△V轉換為相應之數位訊號。The control circuit 28 includes a processing unit 280 and a luminance adjustment unit 288. The processing unit 280 includes a differential amplifier 281, an analog/digital converter 282, a microprocessor 284, and a memory unit 286. The input terminals of the differential amplifier 281 receive the photovoltage Vp and the reference voltage Vr, respectively, and output a difference voltage ΔV (not labeled) between the photovoltage Vp and the reference voltage Vr. The analog/digital converter converts the difference voltage ΔV into a corresponding digital signal.
該記憶單元286係一唯讀記憶體,其存儲一第一查找表、一第二查找表及一第三查找表。該第一查找表為每一感光元件建立其光電壓Vp對應之數位訊號與環境光照度間之關係。該第二查找表建立環境光照度範圍與切換訊號間之對應關係,該切換訊號選擇驅動與該環境光照度範圍相對應之一感光元件。該第一感光元件260、該第二感光元件262、該第三感光元件264、該第四感光元件266及該第五感光元件267分別對應照度依次遞減之第一光照度範圍、第二光照度範圍、第三光照度範圍、第四光照度範圍及第五光照度範圍,該五個環境光照度範圍依次連續並構成該光感測電路之可感測範圍。如,設定可感測之環境光照度範圍為0Lux-100000 Lux,則將第一光照度範圍、第二光照度範圍、第三光照度範圍、第四光照度範圍及第五光照度範圍分別劃分為20001Lux-100000 Lux、2001Lux-20000 Lux、501Lux-2000 Lux、11Lux-500 Lux及0 Lux-10 Lux。該第三查找表建立環境光照度與顯示輝度調節訊號間之關係。The memory unit 286 is a read-only memory that stores a first lookup table, a second lookup table, and a third lookup table. The first lookup table establishes a relationship between the digital signal corresponding to the photovoltage Vp and the ambient illuminance for each photosensitive element. The second lookup table establishes a correspondence between the ambient illuminance range and the switching signal, and the switching signal selects and drives one of the photosensitive elements corresponding to the ambient illuminance range. The first photosensitive element 260, the second photosensitive element 262, the third photosensitive element 264, the fourth photosensitive element 266, and the fifth photosensitive element 267 respectively correspond to a first illuminance range, a second illuminance range, and The third illuminance range, the fourth illuminance range, and the fifth illuminance range are sequentially continuous and constitute a sensible range of the photo sensing circuit. For example, if the ambient illuminance range that can be sensed is set to 0 Lux-1000000 Lux, the first illuminance range, the second illuminance range, the third illuminance range, the fourth illuminance range, and the fifth illuminance range are respectively divided into 20001 Lux-10000 lux, 2001 Lux-20000 Lux, 501 Lux-2000 Lux, 11 Lux-500 Lux and 0 Lux-10 Lux. The third lookup table establishes a relationship between ambient illuminance and display luminance adjustment signals.
該微處理器284依據其接收之數位訊號及該第一查找表查找對應該數位訊號之環境光照度,並依據該環境光照度判斷其所屬之環境光照度範圍,再於該第二查找表查找並輸出對應之切換訊號,以驅動與環境光照度範圍對應之一感光元件而關閉其他感光元件。其中,該切換訊號包括一第一切換訊號Vc1及第二切換訊號Vc2,其中,Vc1係該微處理器284輸出至該五個感光元件閘極之數位序列,如“10000”,表示為該第一感光元件260提供閘極驅動電壓,第二切換訊號Vc2輸出與第一切換訊號Vc1相同之數位序列至該五個感光元件之源極,表示同時為該第一感光元件260提供源極驅動電壓,以驅動該第一感光元件260於環境光照射下輸出感測訊號。The microprocessor 284 searches for the ambient illuminance corresponding to the digital signal according to the received digital signal and the first lookup table, and determines the ambient illuminance range to which the digital signal belongs according to the ambient illuminance, and then searches for and outputs the corresponding corresponding finder in the second lookup table. The switching signal is used to drive one of the photosensitive elements corresponding to the ambient illuminance range to turn off the other photosensitive elements. The switching signal includes a first switching signal Vc1 and a second switching signal Vc2, wherein Vc1 is a digital sequence outputted by the microprocessor 284 to the gates of the five photosensitive elements, such as “10000”, which is expressed as the first A photosensitive element 260 provides a gate driving voltage, and the second switching signal Vc2 outputs a digit sequence identical to the first switching signal Vc1 to the sources of the five photosensitive elements, indicating that the first driving element 260 is simultaneously supplied with a source driving voltage. The first photosensitive element 260 is driven to output a sensing signal under ambient light illumination.
當環境光照度屬於照度最強之第一環境光照度範圍內時,該微處理器284輸出之第一切換訊號Vc1經電平轉換後施加一與閘極電壓Vg相等之高電平至該第一感光元件260之閘極,使其汲極與源極之間產生一導電溝道。因該第一感光元件260接受光照射時可產生光生電子,其導電溝道中之電子數量較該補償元件27導電溝道中之電子數量多,且電子數量隨光照照度增強而增多。同時,該微處理器284輸出之第二切換訊號Vc2經電平轉換後施加一與源極電壓Vs相等之高電平至該第一感光元件260之源極,以驅動該導電溝道中之電子向該汲極運動並形成光電流,因導電溝道中之電子較多,其光電流大於該補償元件27所產生之汲極電流,從而經該第一電阻268輸出之光電壓Vp大於該參考電壓Vr,該光電壓Vp與該參考電壓Vr之差值△V隨光照照度增大而增大。When the ambient illuminance is within the first ambient illuminance range of the illuminance, the first switching signal Vc1 outputted by the microprocessor 284 is level-converted to apply a high level equal to the gate voltage Vg to the first photosensitive element. The gate of 260 creates a conductive channel between the drain and the source. Since the first photosensitive element 260 can generate photogenerated electrons when it is irradiated with light, the number of electrons in the conductive channel is larger than the number of electrons in the conductive channel of the compensating element 27, and the number of electrons increases as the illumination intensity increases. At the same time, the second switching signal Vc2 outputted by the microprocessor 284 is level-converted to apply a high level equal to the source voltage Vs to the source of the first photosensitive element 260 to drive the electrons in the conductive channel. Moving to the drain and forming a photocurrent, because the electrons in the conductive channel are more, the photocurrent is greater than the drain current generated by the compensating element 27, so that the photovoltage Vp outputted through the first resistor 268 is greater than the reference voltage. Vr, the difference ΔV between the photovoltage Vp and the reference voltage Vr increases as the illumination illuminance increases.
因該複數感光元件分別於不同之環境光照度範圍內被驅動以輸出對應環境光之光電壓,即該處理單元280可隨環境光照度之變化而選擇驅動不同之感光元件,從而可一定程度避免單個感光元件接受過長時間之照射及驅動。另,因該第一感光元件260係對應該透光率最低之第一透光元件245,環境光照射至該第一感光元件260時,因該第一透光元件245之僅讓百分之二十的光照量通過,從而該第一感光元件260所接受之光照照度較大程度降低,以保護該第一感光元件260不受強光照射,從而該第一感光元件260產生內部結構缺陷之機率減小,其穩定性較好。此時,其他感光元件因處於關閉狀態,其產生內部結構缺陷之機率亦可降低。Because the plurality of photosensitive elements are respectively driven in different ambient light ranges to output a photovoltage corresponding to the ambient light, the processing unit 280 can selectively drive different photosensitive elements according to changes in the ambient light level, thereby avoiding a single sensitivity to a certain extent. The component is exposed and driven for a long time. In addition, since the first photosensitive element 260 is corresponding to the first light-transmitting element 245 having the lowest light transmittance, and ambient light is irradiated to the first photosensitive element 260, only the percent of the first light-transmitting element 245 is The illumination amount of twenty passes, so that the illumination illuminance received by the first photosensitive element 260 is largely reduced to protect the first photosensitive element 260 from strong light, so that the first photosensitive element 260 generates internal structural defects. The probability is reduced and its stability is good. At this time, the other photosensitive elements are in a closed state, and the probability of causing internal structural defects can also be lowered.
當環境光照度分別屬於第二光照度範圍、第三光照度範圍、第四光照度範圍及第五光照度範圍時,則微處理器284分別驅動該第二感光元件262、該第三感光元件264、該第四感光元件266及該第五感光元件267,即該第一感光元件260、該第二感光元件262、該第三感光元件264、該第四感光元件266及該第五感光元件267分別負責感測20001Lux-100000 Lux、2001Lux-20000 Lux、501Lux-2000 Lux、11Lux-500 Lux及0 Lux-10 Lux照度範圍之環境光。如此,可避免各感光元件接受照度過大之環境光照射,且當環境光照度較弱時,驅動透光率較高之透光元件所對應之感光元件,可保證有足夠光照量透過該透光元件照射該感光元件,使其可以產生便於識別之光電流。When the ambient illuminance belongs to the second illuminance range, the third illuminance range, the fourth illuminance range, and the fifth illuminance range, respectively, the microprocessor 284 drives the second photosensitive element 262, the third photosensitive element 264, and the fourth The photosensitive element 266 and the fifth photosensitive element 267, that is, the first photosensitive element 260, the second photosensitive element 262, the third photosensitive element 264, the fourth photosensitive element 266, and the fifth photosensitive element 267 are respectively responsible for sensing Ambient light for 20001 Lux-1000000 Lux, 2001 Lux-20000 Lux, 501 Lux-2000 Lux, 11 Lux-500 Lux and 0 Lux-10 Lux illumination range. In this way, it is possible to prevent each photosensitive element from receiving ambient light irradiation with excessive illuminance, and when the ambient light is weak, driving the photosensitive element corresponding to the light-transmitting element having a high light transmittance to ensure sufficient light amount to pass through the light-transmitting element. The photosensitive element is illuminated to produce a photocurrent that is easily identifiable.
該微處理器284依據該環境光照度及該第三查找表輸出一對應環境光照度之顯示輝度調節訊號至該輝度調節單元288。該輝度調節單元288係一背光調節單元,其依據該顯示輝度調節訊號,藉由調節背光輝度等方式將該顯示區25之顯示畫面調節至與環境光相適應之輝度。The microprocessor 284 outputs a display brightness adjustment signal corresponding to the ambient light level to the brightness adjustment unit 288 according to the ambient light level and the third lookup table. The brightness adjustment unit 288 is a backlight adjustment unit that adjusts the display screen of the display area 25 to the brightness corresponding to the ambient light by adjusting the brightness of the backlight according to the display brightness adjustment signal.
當該微處理器284於連續之預定之複數週期所輸出之第一切換訊號Vc1均未發生變化時,可認為該液晶顯示裝置2處於一光照度較穩定之環境中。此時,該微處理器284間歇式驅動該感光元件直至第一切換訊號Vc1發生變化,以避免該液晶顯示裝置2長時間處於某一光照度範圍之環境時所對應之一感光元件連續長時間被驅動,從而進一步避免感光元件因長時間被驅動所產生之內部結構缺陷。When the microprocessor 284 does not change the first switching signal Vc1 outputted during the predetermined predetermined complex period, the liquid crystal display device 2 can be considered to be in an environment where the illuminance is relatively stable. At this time, the microprocessor 284 intermittently drives the photosensitive element until the first switching signal Vc1 changes to prevent the liquid crystal display device 2 from being in a certain illumination range for a long time. Driven to further avoid internal structural defects caused by the photosensitive element being driven for a long time.
本發明液晶顯示裝置2具可切換式之光感測器,藉由該微處理器284在不同環境光照度範圍內驅動不同的感光元件,可一定程度避免單一感光元件於光照射下過長時間被驅動,從而減少感光元件產生內部結構缺陷之機率,提高該感光裝置之穩定性,從而使得該液晶顯示裝置2之可靠性較高。另,因環境光較強時驅動位於透光率較低之透光元件下之感光元件,使感光元件接受適當照度之環境光照射,並依據該感光元件輸出之光電壓調節該顯示區25之顯示輝度,避免作為感光元件之非晶矽薄膜電晶體因接受較強之環境光照射所產生之內部結構缺陷,提高該非晶矽薄膜電晶體作為感光元件之穩定性,進而依據該光感測器輸出之訊號調節顯示輝度之液晶顯示裝置2可靠性較高。The liquid crystal display device 2 of the present invention has a switchable light sensor. By driving the microprocessor 284 to drive different photosensitive elements in different ambient light ranges, the single photosensitive element can be prevented from being exposed to light for a long time to a certain extent. The driving, thereby reducing the probability of the photosensitive member generating internal structural defects, improving the stability of the photosensitive device, thereby making the liquid crystal display device 2 highly reliable. In addition, when the ambient light is strong, the photosensitive element under the light-transmitting element with low light transmittance is driven, the photosensitive element receives ambient light of appropriate illumination, and the display area 25 is adjusted according to the light voltage output by the photosensitive element. The brightness is displayed to avoid the internal structural defects caused by the strong ambient light irradiation of the amorphous germanium film transistor as the photosensitive element, and the stability of the amorphous germanium thin film transistor as the photosensitive element is improved, and according to the photosensor The output signal adjusts the display brightness of the liquid crystal display device 2 with high reliability.
