Description
本發明是有關一種顯示裝置及其自動校正方法。 The invention relates to a display device and an automatic correction method thereof.
由於市面上電視產品具有許多不同液晶面板(open cell)的設計,這意謂工廠端與客戶端所使用的軟排線(FFC)的材質與長度會有所不同,使得這樣的液晶面板在客戶端的應用上會存在設計不良如設計不足或設計過度等狀況發生,因此液晶面板的時脈控制器(Tcon)與多個源極驅動集成電路(S-IC)之間需要有自動校正(auto-calibration)的設計來解決設計不良的問題。傳統的自動校正方法是時脈控制器與一源極驅動集成電路之間進行自動校正並且在其之間的自動校正完成後,時脈控制器與另一源極驅動集成電路才會進行自動校正,以及時脈控制器與其他源極驅動集成電路之間會依序進行自動校正直到時脈控制器與最後一源極驅動集成電路之間的自動校正完成為止。然而,當液晶面板的解析度越來越高時,源極驅動集成電路的數量就會越來越多,而自動校正所花費的時間將會更多。因此,如何縮短液晶面板的時脈控制器與多個源極驅動集成電路之間的自動校正的時間,為本技術領域所要解決的重要課題。 Since TV products on the market have many different open cell designs, this means that the material and length of the flexible flat cable (FFC) used by the factory and the client will be different, making such LCD panels available to customers. In the application of the end, there will be poor design, such as insufficient design or overdesign. Therefore, automatic correction (auto- calibration) design to solve the problem of poor design. The traditional automatic calibration method is to perform automatic calibration between the clock controller and a source driver integrated circuit, and after the automatic calibration between them is completed, the clock controller and the other source driver integrated circuit will automatically calibrate. , And the automatic calibration between the clock controller and other source driver integrated circuits will be carried out in sequence until the automatic calibration between the clock controller and the last source driver integrated circuit is completed. However, as the resolution of the liquid crystal panel gets higher and higher, the number of source driver ICs will increase, and the time spent on automatic calibration will increase. Therefore, how to shorten the automatic calibration time between the clock controller of the liquid crystal panel and the multiple source driver integrated circuits is an important issue to be solved in the technical field.

一示例中,源極驅動電路S-IC1在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間(calibration setting time 1,CST1)後,源極驅動電路S-IC1在接續校正設定時間CST1後的延遲時間(delay time,DT1)內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-IC1的高電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-IC1校正完成。時脈控制電路2停止在接續延遲時間DT1後的下一個校正設定時間內發送校正設定數據至源極驅動電路S-IC1。
In an example, the source driver circuit S-IC1 receives the calibration setting data for calibration and the calibration setting time (
另一示例中,源極驅動電路S-IC2在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間CST1後,源極驅動電路S-IC2在接續校正設定時間CST1後的延遲時間DT1內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-IC2的低電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-IC2未校正完成。時脈控制電路2在接續延遲時間DT1後的下一個校正設定時間CST2內發送校正設定數據至源極驅動電路S-IC2。源極驅動電路S-IC2在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間CST2後,源極驅動電路S-IC2在接續校正設定時間CST2後的延遲時間DT2內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當
時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-IC2的高電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-IC2校正完成。
In another example, after the source drive circuit S-IC2 receives the correction setting data for correction and the correction setting time CST1 has passed, the source drive circuit S-IC2 sends a correction within the delay time DT1 after the correction setting time CST1. The signal A is sent to the
再一示例中,源極驅動電路S-ICn在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間CST1後,源極驅動電路S-ICn在接續校正設定時間CST1後的延遲時間DT1內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-ICn的低電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-ICn未校正完成。時脈控制電路2在接續延遲時間DT1後的下一個校正設定時間CST2內發送校正設定數據至源極驅動電路S-ICn。源極驅動電路S-ICn在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間CST2後,源極驅動電路S-ICn在接續校正設定時間CST2後的延遲時間DT2內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-ICn的低電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-ICn未校正完成。時脈控制電路2在接續延遲時間DTm-1後的下一個校正設定時間CSTm-2內發送校正設定數據至源極驅動電路S-ICn。源極驅動電路S-ICn在接收校正設定數據以進行校正並經過校正設定時間CSTm-2後,源極驅動電路S-ICn在接續校正設定時間CSTm-2後的延遲時間DTm-2內發送一校正信號A至時脈控制電路2以告知是否校正完成。當時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-ICn的高電位的校正信號A時,代表源極驅動電路S-ICn校正完成。也就是說,當源極驅動電路S-ICn未校正完成時,源極驅動電路S-ICn重複地在接續延遲時間後的下一個校正設定時間內進行校正以及在接續下一個校正設定時間後的下一個延
遲時間內發送校正信號A至時脈控制電路2直到時脈控制電路2接收到源極驅動電路S-ICn的高電位的校正信號A。
In another example, after the source drive circuit S-ICn receives the correction setting data for correction and the correction setting time CST1 has elapsed, the source drive circuit S-ICn sends a correction within the delay time DT1 after the continuous correction setting time CST1 The signal A is sent to the
可以理解的是,每一源極驅動電路S-IC1、S-IC2、S-IC3、...、S-ICn接收校正設定數據以進行校正以及發送校正信號A至時脈控制電路2的上限次數為m次,其中m較佳地為10。然而,本領域技術人員可依照實際需求決定源極驅動電路執行校正的上限次數,本案發明並不以此為限。
It can be understood that each of the source drive circuits S-IC1, S-IC2, S-IC3,..., S-ICn receives the correction setting data for correction and sends the correction signal A to the upper limit of the
一示例中,在源極驅動電路執行校正的上限次數m為10次、校正設定數據的總發送封包數目為94080個封包、每一個封包的長度為9個單位週期、資料傳輸率為3Gbps、校正設定時間為282.24μs、延遲時間為11.76μs、以及源極驅動電路S-IC1、S-IC2、S-IC3、...、S-ICn的數目為24個的條件下,傳統的自動校正方法所需要花費的時間為282.24*10*24=67737.6μs,而本案發明提供的顯示裝置1的自動校正方法所需要花費的時間為11.76*(24-1)+(282.24+11.76)*24=3210.48μs,因此本案發明提供的顯示裝置1的自動校正方法確實大幅度縮短了顯示裝置1的自動校正的時間。
In an example, the upper limit m of corrections performed by the source drive circuit is 10 times, the total number of packets sent for the correction setting data is 94080 packets, the length of each packet is 9 unit cycles, the data transfer rate is 3Gbps, and the correction Under the condition that the setting time is 282.24μs, the delay time is 11.76μs, and the number of source drive circuits S-IC1, S-IC2, S-IC3,..., S-ICn is 24, the traditional automatic calibration method The time required is 282.24*10*24=67737.6μs, and the time required for the automatic calibration method of the
綜上所述,本發明所提供的顯示裝置及其自動校正方法因錯開時脈控制電路中的每一個發送端發送校正設定數據的時間,同時預留了每一源極驅動電路回覆校正信號的時間,可大幅度縮短了顯示裝置的自動校正的時間,同時也讓時脈控制電路可以接收到每一源極驅動電路所回覆的校正信號而不會發生重疊的問題。 In summary, the display device and the automatic correction method provided by the present invention stagger the time for each transmitting end in the clock control circuit to send the correction setting data, and at the same time reserve the time for each source drive circuit to respond to the correction signal. The time can greatly shorten the automatic calibration time of the display device, and at the same time, the clock control circuit can receive the calibration signal returned by each source driving circuit without overlapping problems.
