Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a multi-level signal transmission of a year-old clock signal and a device for driving a display panel by the method, and more specifically driving the display by a method A device of a panel in which a clock signal of a device is driven during transmission. Regarding the -_ material pulse signal transmission method ', 'I, the magazine uses the display panel to embed a display. [Prior Art] Recently, in addition to the increasing popularity of portable electronic devices (such as notebook computers) , digital devices and personal computers = the scale of the number of carriers continues to increase. Even between such devices and users = the field display device needs to be light in weight and low in power, which is usually caused by LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP (Electrical Electric Excitation Field, etc.) Instead of the conventional CRT (cathode ray tube). As described above, for a general coffee system, it is necessary to drive the display panel with a timing controller and a driver integrated circuit (scan: drive integrated circuit). However, in ==, a large number of (4) magnetic waves and radio frequency waves in the electronic device are generated by electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference (hereinafter collectively referred to as "brain"). In addition, the current field and high resolution, 1311305 product is especially in the case of the Xuan Xuan panel, because the number of lines is hundreds of thousand ', so it is used to drive each line in these lines. Line drive U ..., the road to the need of people - high-speed data transmission technology. As mentioned above, because of the recent addition of the EMI standard and the technology of transmitting signals at a faster speed, it is common to use ^ Rsds (reduced swing differential transmission) or minimum telecommunications in the panel display: the signal transmission method The final connection timing is controlled with the panel. , " Figure 1 #, 朗-f know RSDS (Lai axis silk job sent a schematic diagram of the case, and Figure 2 is a description - f know the minimum LVDS = differential signal transmission) schematic diagram. The RSDS and the minimum Lv add a scoop of - or multiple data signal lines to meet the bandwidth required to utilize the two-package clock signal synchronized with the data. Since only the clock signal is used, the clock signal and the data signals are provided to match the number of the integrated circuit circuits 20 and 21 inside the panel. That is, as shown in Figure 丨, Figure 2 仃 drive

RSDS However, the multiple points and eight systems used in both RSDS and minimum LVDS are missing because of the large negative knives of the clock signal, the increase of the branching method, and the degradation of the signal quality (for example, due to the branch point of the line, wearing , the resulting signal distortion) 'and the maximum working speed to love to resist the loss of the United States National Semiconductor Corporation recently announced a thin system. Use the intra-panel interface of point 劈| ^, ie PPDS (point-to-point differential signal shooter ', point method, as shown in Figure 3, to send the clock signal to ^). The board is based on each of the integrated circuits of 22 to solve the problem that occurs when the row drive 22 = drives the integrated circuit. Moreover, the method is characterized in that an independent data line is arranged between the timing control 1311305 and a single row driving integrated circuit 22 by using the clock signal, and a plurality of data lines are connected to a plurality of lines according to a convention. Drive the integrated circuit. That is, for the pPDS shown in Fig. 3, when a series method is used, a single independent data line is arranged from a PPDS timing controller 12 to the one-line driving integrated circuit 22. Therefore, impedance mismatch is reduced compared to the conventional multipoint branching method used in RSDS and minimum LVDS, thereby reducing EMI and manufacturing costs by reducing the total number of signal lines. However, compared to the conventional RSDS, a higher speed clock signal is required, and the separated clock lines are respectively connected to all the row driving integrated circuits, so there is an additional cost. In addition, when there is a skew between the clock signal and the data signal used for sampling data, an error can be generated before (4) taking _. In order to prevent this from happening, a separate circuit for correcting the deflection is required. Therefore, PPDS has problems different from conventional RSDS and minimum Lvds, and such problems should be solved. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, a configuration has recently been proposed in which the row driving integrated circuit 23 receives the clock signal in the form of a key. The advantage of this type of delamination is that it reduces the impedance mismatch and the EMI generated by the multi-point branch (4) of the clock. However, this configuration also has a problem in that data sampling failure occurs due to a clock delay between the row driving integrated circuits 23. As mentioned above, the latest trend in the in-panel interface has focused on reducing the signal line components. In addition, compared with the reduction of the number of signal lines, the working speed and resolution of the panel are improved, so the "in-board interface" is required, which can be expected to be skewed in the material billing and accounting 2 1311305 relative jitter.

[Embodiment] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology and wording used in the "Invention Description" of the "Scope of Application" should not be limited to the ordinary meaning or "literal meaning". The money made is in accordance with the definitions and concepts of the present invention, and the present invention is based on the principle of the term concept that the inventors may define, and is invented by the best of the eight. Therefore, the present invention may be embodied and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the scope of the invention. Details of the invention. According to the present invention, a novel multi-level signal transmitting method is used, in which a clock signal information is embedded between the data signals, and the clock signal line is cancelled or replaced, thereby solving the problem. Impedance mismatches caused by multiple branching of the data line and the timely pulse line and the prior art problems such as E MI #. In addition, according to the present invention, the multi-level detection method can be easily used to extract the clock signal from the clock signal in the data line, and the pulse remainder is only the actual sample material. The required frequency is very high, 1311305 one. Therefore, since the frequency is small in frequency and prevents relative jitter or skew generated when the data signal is separated from the clock signal, in order to perform high-speed stabilization, it plays an important role in reducing EMI of the entire system. [First Embodiment] FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the structure of an in-line clock panel display according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a timing controller and a row driver in FIG. A schematic diagram of the structure of the clock and data transmitted between the integrated circuits. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, a display includes a timing controller 14, a plurality of row drive integrated circuits 24, a plurality of column drive integrated circuits 30, and a display panel 40. A driving device for the display panel 40 includes a timing controller 14, a plurality of row driving integrated circuits 24, and a plurality of column driving integrated circuits 30. The display panel 40 serves as a portion for displaying an image based on the scanning signal and the data signal, and may be selected from various display panels such as an LCD panel, a PDP panel, and an OELD panel. The plurality of column driving integrated circuits 30 apply the scanning signals S1 to Sn to the display panel 40, and the plurality of row driving integrated circuits 24 apply the data signals D1 to Dn to the display panel 40. The timing controller 14 sends the DATA to the plurality of row drive integrated circuits 24, and applies the clocks CLK and _CLK_R and the start pulses SP and SP_R to the plurality of row drive integrated circuits 24 and the plurality of column drive integrated circuits. 30. The DATA transmitted from the timing controller 30 to the plurality of row driving integrated circuits 24 may include only one of the image data or the image data to be displayed on the panel 40 and a control signal. 11 1311305 In contrast to the prior art, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, only the pair of differential pairs are used to transmit the clock CLK and the data signal d AT A from the timing controller 14 to the row driving integrated body. Circuit 24. The clock signal CLK is embedded between the data signals data to have different signal amplitudes at the timing controller 14 (i.e., on the transmitting terminal) and to transmit the clock signals. The clock signal CLK can be distinguished from the data signal DATA by the amplitude of the signal received at the row driving integrated circuit 24 (i.e., at the receiving terminal). Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a multi-level signal transmission example that can be used in an interface between a timing controller and a row driver integrated circuit as shown in Figure 5. Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, the timing control write 14 converts the data into a signal whose voltage is less than a predetermined reference voltage, and converts a clock into a signal whose voltage is greater than the predetermined reference voltage, and is converted into a clock signal. Embedded in the converted data signal for transmission after multiplexing. In addition, the value of the data signal can be obtained on the row driving integrated circuit 24 (i.e., the receiving terminal) by the differential signal processing method known in the art, and the clock signal can be distinguished by Vrefh and Vrefl. That is, when the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals is 丨¥匕,? When ~%11,11| is smaller than the amplitude of the reference signal |Vrefh_Vrefl|, the two input signals will be processed as the data signal. Therefore, when Vin,p is larger than Vin,n, the data value is set to 1; and when Vin,p is smaller than Vin,n, the data value is set to 0. When the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals is larger than the amplitude of the reference signal (|Vm, p~ Vin, n| > |Vrefh - Vrefl|), the two input signals will be recognized as the clock. As shown in the figure, because the frequency of an actual arrogant clock is lower than the data transmission 12 1311305 phase = _ generates a clock signal with the speed of the PLL (not shown), and uses the same method to sample the system In the EMI aspect, the most important factor is the clock signal, the amplitude is proportional to the amplitude and frequency of the clock signal, and the frequency of the clock can be reduced to 1/10 of the conventional _ system, 'gram, or measurement, Therefore, the brewing is significantly reduced. In the second and second time, the data and the clock signal configuration as shown in the figure are as follows: = The natural synchronization state mode of the data is included, and the recovery clock is sampled in: The data is sampled. Compared with the coffee, it can be more accurately executed. As shown, when the number of signal combinations that may actually appear is: 7, the "signal of the household is two data signals and the absolute difference of the one-time signal - and = 1" At the same time, the clock signal will be generated unconditionally, and the number is simultaneously sent-separated control signal or -= like poor. Although the symbol is positive, it is recognized as the transmission m symbol is negative, it is recognized as being sent. 0. Tian β Figure 8 is another example of multi-level signal transmission – the sound level signal transmission can be used – as shown in Figure 5, between the inter-machined driving integrated circuit interface. 6 and FIG. 8, the timing controller 14 converts the data to the === reference voltage signal 'converts the clock to a signal whose voltage is less than the reference voltage of the box' and embeds the converted clock in the signal 13 1311305 The converted data signals are multiplexed and then transmitted. In addition, when the received signal dust is greater than a reference voltage, the line drives the integrated circuit - 24 (ie, the receiving terminal) to receive The signal is restored to the data when the received signal voltage When the reference voltage is less than the reference voltage, the row drives the integrated circuit 24 (ie, the receiving terminal) to restore the received signal to the talk clock. As shown in the figure, 'the data signal is different because the clock signal does not have such as 1 and 0. The concept of 'three steps is enough for multi-level signal transmission. That is, when the absolute value of the difference between two input signals |Vin,p -Vin,n| is larger than the amplitude of the reference signal |Vrefh -Vrefl| The two input signals will be identified as the physical signal 'and the data will be identified as 1 or 0 according to the symbol of the data signal. Conversely, the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals | Vin, P - Vin , n| is smaller than the amplitude of the reference signal 丨Vrefli, when the two input signals will be recognized as the clock signal. Therefore, unlike the requirement of the four-order level in Figure 7, MVx is required (△% refers to the miscellaneous The voltage operation method of FIG. 8 can be operated at a low voltage of 2 Δν , because the three-order is sufficient for the method of FIG. 8. FIG. 9 is another schematic diagram of multi-level signal transmission. The multi-level signal material can be hidden As shown in Figure 5, the interface between the integrated circuit is driven. In the case of the example shown, 'the clock signal and the capital (4) are read and sent, but because it is for each data pulse, it needs to be DLT, Ρττ 疋 畀 畀 日 日 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在 在Moreover, when the private reading speed of the data is not very high, it is advantageous to configure the clock recovery circuit as a simple circuit system by including the * field: it is necessary to cut the clock of each material. The method shown in the figure will solve such problems. Although the method shown in Figure 9 is similar to that of Figures 7 and 8 , the difference is that the clock signal is transmitted in the - corresponding data period - half period. . When the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals |Vm,p-Vin,n^ is greater than the amplitude IV of the reference signal, her-Vrefl丨, the two input signals will be recognized as data signals, and according to the symbol of the data signal The data is identified as 丨 or 〇. Conversely, when the absolute value of the difference between the two input signals |Vin,p -Vin,n| is smaller than the amplitude of the reference signal IVrefh -Vrefl|, the two output signals will be unconditionally recognized as the clock signal. As indicated by the recovered data and time signal, the clock signal is located in the middle of each data transition period. The purpose of the clock recovery circuit is to place the clock at the most ideal sampling position, i.e., in the middle of the data transition period, and it is apparent that the configuration of the present invention satisfies this requirement. That is, when the length of the clock signal is set to be the same as the length of the data, the period of the data signal can be equally divided to restore the clock signal for each of the data at the receiving terminal. Through this process, the received data signal can be recovered by a simple cloud sampling circuit. According to the structure shown in Fig. 9, the symbol of the touched data is changed only when the received data exceeds a threshold value. The print changes the value according to the sign of the data only when the absolute value |Vin,p -Vin,n| of the difference between the two input signals is greater than the amplitude |Vrefh - Vrefl| of the reference signal. 15 1311305 In contrast, there may be two configurations for the clock. First, similar to the data 'if the polarity is changed only when the absolute value of the two input signal values |Vin,p Vin,n| is smaller than the amplitude of the reference signal | vrefj^vrefll' The data can be sampled at both the rising and falling edges of the pulse. Second, contrary to the above, when the absolute value of the two input signal difference I Vin,p - Vin,n| is larger than the amplitude of the reference signal I Vrefh - Vrefll, and when the two input signals are different The absolute value |Vin,p -Vin,n| is smaller than the amplitude of the reference signal IVrefh - Vrefl| is regarded as the transition period of the clock, then the data is in the clock signal as shown in FIG. Sampled at the rising edge. Although the clock signal is smaller than the data signal as shown in FIG. 9 but when the amplitude of the clock signal is greater than the amplitude of the data signal, the clock signal can be embedded in each of the data signals. In the signal, those skilled in the art can easily understand the technology. Therefore, a detailed description about this technique is omitted. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of still another example of multi-level signal transmission that can be used in an interface between a timing controller and a row driver integrated circuit as shown in Figure 5. Referring to Figure 10, the polarity of the clock signal follows the polarity of the previous data. That is, the data η-1 has the same polarity as the clock, and the terminal of the clock is increased to additionally generate the same virtual signal as the previous data signal (data η-1). With this virtual data, sufficient rise time and fall time can be obtained. The virtual data is added to prevent the clock from accelerating or delaying in the form of Figure 7 according to the previous data 16 1311305. So in this case, is it reduced? The possibility of picking up the jitter (caused by the data. The transition is considered to be the partial slope between the transitions of the clock signal) is therefore advantageous for the high speed transmission of the towel. That is, although the zero-over position used to generate the clock signal depends on the value of the previous data in the situation of FIG. 7, it is advantageous to not generate the zero-pattern related jitter in the case of FIG. 1(). . [Second Embodiment] Fig. 11 is a view showing the structure of a display in a panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and for ease of understanding, Fig. 12 is a view only showing the timing control H and line of Fig. 11 Schematic diagram of driving the integrated circuit clock and data. s x , compared to the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the second embodiment uses a point-to-point scheme, and the first embodiment uses a point-to-point scheme. Since the second embodiment is used in addition to the point-pairing scheme, the second embodiment is the same as the second and the same 'so that Figs. 7 to i. The multi-level signal transmission described in the timing controller for the interface between the moving body circuits is described in the following example. However, in the case of the first embodiment, 4 = is connected to the -row drive integrated circuit; and in the case of the second embodiment, the differential pair is connected to the two-row drive integrated circuit 2S. Therefore, in each case, the data transmitted by the differential pair is twice as large as the embodiment. The invention is characterized in that the display panel of the present invention comprises various display panels, and the multi-level signal transmission method of the built-in clock signal can be used for 17 1311305.
