微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動系統及方法 Digital end driving system and method for micro-luminescent diode display chip panel

本發明係關係一種數字端驅動系統及方法,尤指一種微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動系統及方法。 The present invention relates to a digital end driving system and method, and in particular to a digital end driving system and method for a micro-luminescent diode display chip panel.

微發光二極體(micro LED)顯示技術是指以自發光的微米量級的發光二極體(light-emitting diode,LED)為發光像素單元,將其組裝到驅動面板上形成高密度LED陣列的顯示技術。由於micro LED芯片尺寸小、及程度高和自發光等特點。在顯示方面與液晶顯示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)、有機發光二極體(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)相比在亮度、分辨率、對比度、能耗、使用壽命、響應速度和熱穩定性等方面具有更大的優勢。 Micro LED display technology refers to a display technology that uses micron-sized self-luminous light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light-emitting pixel units and assembles them on a drive panel to form a high-density LED array. Due to the small size, high sensitivity and self-luminescence of micro LED chips, it has greater advantages in brightness, resolution, contrast, energy consumption, service life, response speed and thermal stability compared to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in terms of display.

先前技術中關於顯示器的數字端驅動的技術原理和電路結構,主要包含有兩大類。第一類型是在LCD、OLED顯示領域的數字驅動電路,由於其顯示器的顯示原理不同,因此在驅動原理上技術內容的比較,在此也不做過多的分析。第二類型是同為micro LED的顯示技術的數字驅動原理,請參閱圖1,圖1為根據先前技術之數字端驅動系統P1的方塊圖。如圖1所示,先前技術的數字端驅動系統P1包含外部芯片P11、寄存器陣列P12 和顯示區P13三個部分。從圖1中可看出現有的micro LED驅動方式採用實時修改配置及裝載數據的方式,即顯示區P13直接從寄存器陣列P12中接收實時配置訊息。請參閱圖2,圖2為根據先前技術之子幀時序週期示意圖。如圖2所示,數字端驅動系統係根據子幀時序周期中的Sync訊號(簡稱S訊號)及Configuration訊號(簡稱C訊號)驅動。在數字端驅動系統係根據子幀時序周期進行幀掃描的過程中S訊號的位置與C訊號設置在子幀時序週期的中間位置,且具體位置是由外部芯片P11(即上位機)決定,並實時的改變。 The technical principles and circuit structures of the digital end drive of the display in the prior art mainly include two categories. The first type is the digital drive circuit in the LCD and OLED display fields. Since the display principles of the displays are different, the comparison of the technical content in the drive principle will not be analyzed too much here. The second type is the digital drive principle of the display technology of micro LED. Please refer to Figure 1, which is a block diagram of the digital end drive system P1 according to the prior art. As shown in Figure 1, the digital end drive system P1 of the prior art includes three parts: an external chip P11, a register array P12, and a display area P13. As can be seen from Figure 1, the existing micro LED driving method adopts the method of real-time configuration modification and data loading, that is, the display area P13 directly receives real-time configuration information from the register array P12. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the subframe timing cycle according to the previous technology. As shown in Figure 2, the digital end driving system is driven according to the Sync signal (abbreviated as S signal) and the Configuration signal (abbreviated as C signal) in the subframe timing cycle. In the digital end driving system, the position of the S signal and the C signal are set in the middle position of the subframe timing cycle during the frame scanning process according to the subframe timing cycle, and the specific position is determined by the external chip P11 (i.e., the host computer) and changes in real time.

以上先前技術的驅動方式在實際使用過程中,由於需要實時配置資訊以及載入資料,從而會導致在顯示驅動控制過程中有不穩定現象發生,以及存在畫面的撕裂感而影響觀看體驗。因此,解決目前微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動方式所導致的顯示器存在不穩定和畫面圖像撕裂感的技術問題是目前重要的研究主題和研究方向。 In actual use, the above-mentioned driving methods of the prior art require real-time configuration of information and loading of data, which will lead to instability in the display driving control process and screen tearing, affecting the viewing experience. Therefore, solving the technical problems of display instability and screen image tearing caused by the current digital end driving method of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel is an important research topic and research direction.

其中,於在該子幀時序週期中之該S訊號下,該顯示區接收該總模組配置訊息及該幀像素數據以產生該PWM調制訊號之步驟中,更包含以下子步驟:該顯示區中的一掃描驅動電路接收該總模組配置訊息以產 生一SFx訊號;該顯示區中的一幀緩衝器傳輸該幀像素數據;該顯示區中的一列數據傳輸控制電路本體傳輸來自該幀緩衝器之該幀像素數據;該顯示區中的一存儲器傳輸並儲存來自該列數據傳輸控制電路本體之該幀像素數據;以及該顯示區中的一調制器接收該SFx訊號、該幀像素數據以產生該PWM調制訊號。 Among them, under the S signal in the subframe timing cycle, the step of the display area receiving the total module configuration information and the frame pixel data to generate the PWM modulation signal further includes the following sub-steps: a scanning drive circuit in the display area receives the total module configuration information to generate an SFx signal; a frame buffer in the display area transmits the frame pixel data; a row data transmission control circuit body in the display area transmits the frame pixel data from the frame buffer; a memory in the display area transmits and stores the frame pixel data from the row data transmission control circuit body; and a modulator in the display area receives the SFx signal and the frame pixel data to generate the PWM modulation signal.

其中,於該顯示區中的該調制器接收該SFx訊號、該幀像素數據以產生該PWM調制訊號的步驟中,更包含以下子步驟:該調制器接收並結合該SFx訊號及該幀像素數據以產生SFMX訊號;該調制器疊加該SFMX訊號以產生該PWM調制訊號;以及在該S訊號下,該調制器將該S訊號放置在該子幀時序週期中的初始位置。 Among them, the step in which the modulator in the display area receives the SFx signal and the frame pixel data to generate the PWM modulation signal further includes the following sub-steps: the modulator receives and combines the SFx signal and the frame pixel data to generate the SFMX signal; the modulator superimposes the SFMX signal to generate the PWM modulation signal; and under the S signal, the modulator places the S signal at the initial position in the sub-frame timing cycle.

其中,於在該子幀時序週期中之該C訊號下,將該子幀時序週期中的該C訊號放置在該子幀時序週期中的初始位置,並將該S訊號接續在該C訊號之後的步驟中更包含以下子步驟:該顯示控制寄存器將該C訊號放置在該子幀時序週期中的初始位置;以及該顯示區中的一調制器將該S訊號放置在該子幀時序週期中的初始位置,且在該C訊號之後的連續位置。 Wherein, under the C signal in the subframe timing cycle, the step of placing the C signal in the subframe timing cycle at the initial position in the subframe timing cycle and placing the S signal continuously after the C signal further includes the following sub-steps: the display control register places the C signal at the initial position in the subframe timing cycle; and a modulator in the display area places the S signal at the initial position in the subframe timing cycle and at a continuous position after the C signal.

其中,於該顯示區根據PWM調制訊號控制該顯示區的顯示亮度及灰度的步驟中,更包含以下子步驟:該顯示區中的一控制電路接收該PWM調制訊號;以及該控制電路根據該PWM調制訊號控制該顯示區中的一發光二極體的亮度及灰度。 Among them, the step of controlling the display brightness and grayscale of the display area according to the PWM modulation signal further includes the following sub-steps: a control circuit in the display area receives the PWM modulation signal; and the control circuit controls the brightness and grayscale of a light-emitting diode in the display area according to the PWM modulation signal.

相對於先前技術中所提到的數字端驅動系統,本發明之數字端驅動系統中的寄存器陣列更包含有顯示控制寄存器作為子集。顯示控制寄存器會將C訊號放置在子幀周期初始位置,並將S信號接續在C訊號之後。 因為顯示控制寄存器儲存有用於顯示區的總模組配置訊息,進而自動將子幀周期調整順序為C、S、SFX.....,並且可以直接自顯示控制寄存器讀取配置訊息,而使顯示區可以穩定運作。反觀,因為先前技術沒有顯示控制寄存器,因此沒有自動調整子幀周期的功能。而需在C訊號出現時才自外部芯片讀取配置訊息,以及在S訊號出現時才自外部芯片讀取幀像素數據,進而導致顯示區運作不流暢,以自於發生畫面圖像撕裂感的問題。 Compared to the digital end drive system mentioned in the prior art, the register array in the digital end drive system of the present invention further includes a display control register as a subset. The display control register places the C signal at the initial position of the subframe period and connects the S signal after the C signal. Because the display control register stores the total module configuration information used for the display area, the subframe period is automatically adjusted to C, S, SFX..., and the configuration information can be directly read from the display control register, so that the display area can operate stably. On the other hand, because the prior art does not have a display control register, it does not have the function of automatically adjusting the subframe period. It is necessary to read configuration information from the external chip only when the C signal appears, and to read frame pixel data from the external chip only when the S signal appears, which causes the display area to operate unsmoothly, resulting in the problem of image tearing on the screen.

As shown in Figure 3, the digital end driving system 1 of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel of the present invention includes an external chip 11, a register array 12 and a display area 13. The external chip 11 is used to provide configuration information and frame pixel data. Among them, the frame pixel data is the source data of the image. The configuration information refers to some control parameters for arranging the image source data to form a series of videos, such as: frame data, brightness/grayscale data, etc. The register array 12 is coupled to the external chip 11. The register array 12 includes a plurality of register modules 121. The structure of the register array 12 is a register array 12 composed of multiple register modules 121 for storing different module configuration information. The main function of the register array 12 is to store all the configuration information in the display device, including the configuration information of the display area 13. The configuration information includes a plurality of module configuration information, and each register module 121 is used to store the corresponding module configuration information. The display control register 122 is electrically connected to the register array 12, which is a subset of the register array 12 and is used to store the total module configuration information including all module configuration information. In other words, the display control register 122 is a register in the register array 12 that is specifically used to store the configuration information in the display area 13. The configuration information for the display area 13 stored in the display control register 122 includes row and column display control configuration information, that is, all configuration information for controlling the display state of the image. The configuration information includes but is not limited to the scanning time t and the data format, etc. The display area 13 is coupled to the external chip 11 and the display control register 122 to receive the total module configuration information and the frame pixel data to generate a PWM modulation signal, and control the display brightness and grayscale according to the PWM modulation signal. Among them, the digital end driving system 1 of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel displays the brightness and grayscale according to the sub-frame timing cycle. The sub-frame timing cycle includes at least one C signal and at least one S signal. Under the C signal, the display control register 122 stores the total module configuration information in the register array 12, and places the C signal in the subframe timing cycle at the initial position in the subframe timing cycle, and then connects the S signal to the C signal. Under the S signal, the display area 13 receives the total module configuration information and frame pixel data to generate a PWM modulation signal, and controls the display brightness and grayscale according to the PWM modulation signal.

需要說明的是,顯示控制寄存器122為寄存器陣列12的子集。寄存器陣列12中的多個寄存器模組121所儲存的配置訊息不同,當然每個寄存器模組121也可以有自己的子集。每個子集的功能對應其所在的顯示區所顯示的模組位置,顯示控制寄存器122的數目可以與寄存器模組121相對應,亦可為一個顯示控制寄存器122對多個寄存器模組121,並不以此為限。 It should be noted that the display control register 122 is a subset of the register array 12. The configuration information stored in the multiple register modules 121 in the register array 12 is different. Of course, each register module 121 can also have its own subset. The function of each subset corresponds to the module position displayed in the display area where it is located. The number of display control registers 122 can correspond to the register module 121, or one display control register 122 can correspond to multiple register modules 121, but it is not limited to this.

The modulator 1334 is used to place the S signal at the initial position in the subframe timing cycle, and at a continuous position after the C signal.

Therefore, the configuration information in the display control register 122 is respectively a row and column control element, and represents the scan driver circuit 131 and the column data transmission control circuit body 1322.

請參閱圖12,圖12為根據本發明之一具體實施例之微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動方法之子幀時序週期示意圖。請參閱圖12,其中S訊號為sync訊號,為控制傳輸幀源數據。C訊號為configuration訊號,為控制傳輸配置訊息。子幀時序週期中,S和C分別代表控制數據傳輸的指令,其他位置為圖象顯示過程所佔的時間(即幀像素數據的顯示過程)。圖12之子幀時序週期為面板端驅動時序,首先”C”為configuration,從寄存器陣列讀取相關驅動配置,此配置可以控制掃描的時間,數據的格式等。然後將幀緩衝器裡面的幀像素數據載入到像素中的儲存器中。結合掃描訊號(SFx)產生PWM的輸出,來達到控制micro-led通斷時間。以此來驅動micro-led,使得micro-led達到設定的灰度,以及亮度。 Please refer to Figure 12, which is a schematic diagram of the sub-frame timing cycle of the digital end driving method of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel according to one specific embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 12, wherein the S signal is a sync signal, which is used to control the transmission of frame source data. The C signal is a configuration signal, which is used to control the transmission of configuration information. In the sub-frame timing cycle, S and C respectively represent instructions for controlling data transmission, and the other positions are the time occupied by the image display process (i.e., the display process of the frame pixel data). The sub-frame timing cycle of Figure 12 is the panel-end driving timing. First, "C" is configuration, and the relevant driving configuration is read from the register array. This configuration can control the scanning time, data format, etc. Then load the frame pixel data in the frame buffer into the memory in the pixel. Combined with the scanning signal (SFx), PWM output is generated to control the on and off time of the micro-led. In this way, the micro-led is driven to achieve the set grayscale and brightness.

請參閱圖13及圖14,圖13為根據本發明之一具體實施例之微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動方法在Gray Value=0xC5時的SFx訊號示意圖。圖14為根據圖13之PWM疊代圖。SFx相關訊號時序如下,以8bit灰度驅動為例,如圖13所示。本發明之驅動方法能夠保障幀的完整性,全屏驅動使得顯示一致性更好,驅動效率也更高。如圖14所示,比如Gray Value=0xC5,只有bit7 bit6 bit2 bit0為高,這代表SF7 SF6 SF2 SF0出現在PWM中,其它的不出現。另外因為控制的是PMOS,訊號需要反轉一下。PWM波形如圖14,圖中SFMx訊號為調制器中的內部信號,帶有寄存器中灰度的資訊,並且做了訊號反轉操作。PWM為調制器輸出信號,直接控制PMOS三極管,來達到控制micro-led通斷的目的。 Please refer to Figures 13 and 14. Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the SFx signal when Gray Value = 0xC5 according to the digital end driving method of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel of one specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 is a PWM stack diagram based on Figure 13. The timing of the SFx related signals is as follows, taking 8-bit grayscale driving as an example, as shown in Figure 13. The driving method of the present invention can ensure the integrity of the frame, and full-screen driving makes the display consistency better and the driving efficiency higher. As shown in Figure 14, for example, Gray Value = 0xC5, only bit7 bit6 bit2 bit0 is high, which means that SF7 SF6 SF2 SF0 appear in PWM, and the others do not appear. In addition, because PMOS is controlled, the signal needs to be reversed. The PWM waveform is shown in Figure 14. The SFMx signal in the figure is the internal signal in the modulator, which carries the grayscale information in the register and performs a signal inversion operation. PWM is the output signal of the modulator, which directly controls the PMOS transistor to achieve the purpose of controlling the on and off of the micro-led.

相較於先前技術,本發明之驅動系統包含有顯示控制寄存器會將C信號放置在子幀周期的初始位置,並將S信號接續在C信號之後,並且因為顯示控制寄存器儲存有用於顯示區的配置訊息,進而自動將子幀周期調整為C→S→SFX.....。使得本發明之驅動系統可以直接自顯示控制寄存器讀取配置訊息,而使顯示區4可以穩定運作。反觀,因為先前技術沒有顯示控制寄存器,因此沒有自動調整子幀周期的功能,還需在C信號出現時才自外部芯片讀取配置訊息,以及在S信號出現時才自外部芯片讀取幀像素數據,進而導致顯示區運作不流暢,以自於發生畫面圖像撕裂感的問題。 Compared to the prior art, the drive system of the present invention includes a display control register that places the C signal at the initial position of the subframe period, and places the S signal after the C signal. Moreover, because the display control register stores the configuration information for the display area, the subframe period is automatically adjusted to C→S→SFX.... The drive system of the present invention can directly read the configuration information from the display control register, so that the display area 4 can operate stably. On the other hand, because the previous technology did not have a display control register, it did not have the function of automatically adjusting the subframe period. It was necessary to read the configuration information from the external chip when the C signal appeared, and to read the frame pixel data from the external chip when the S signal appeared, which resulted in the display area not operating smoothly, resulting in the problem of image tearing on the screen.

綜上所述,本發明之微發光二極體顯示器晶片面板的數字端驅動系統及方法的特點在主要上位機(外部芯片和寄存器陣列)傳輸的配置資訊和實際使用的配置資訊(顯示控制寄存器和儲存器)分開,只在幀掃描開始位置(C和S)將上位機配置資訊載入到實際使用配置中,解決上位機實時修改配置導致驅動不穩定的技術問題。換言之,本發明之驅動方法採用分開存儲配置的方式,以及在每幀掃描開始時進行配置。在每一幀顯示的初始位置進行預載入資料和預配置,則在幀顯示過程中無需即時載入數據和載入配置訊息,使得圖像顯示更加穩定。不僅方便上位機對寄存器進行配置,也不影響面板的顯示,因此整體驅動系統能夠高效調整和顯示,並保證了 每幀的完整畫面顯示。有效解決了顯示器存在不穩定和畫面圖像撕裂感的技術問題。 In summary, the digital end driving system and method of the micro-luminescent diode display chip panel of the present invention is characterized in that the configuration information transmitted by the main host computer (external chip and register array) and the configuration information actually used (display control register and storage) are separated, and the host computer configuration information is only loaded into the actual use configuration at the start position of the frame scan (C and S), solving the technical problem of unstable driving caused by the host computer modifying the configuration in real time. In other words, the driving method of the present invention adopts a separate storage configuration method and performs configuration at the beginning of each frame scan. Pre-loading data and pre-configuration are performed at the initial position of each frame display, so there is no need to load data and load configuration information in real time during the frame display process, making the image display more stable. It is not only convenient for the host computer to configure the registers, but also does not affect the display of the panel. Therefore, the overall drive system can adjust and display efficiently, and ensure the complete display of each frame. It effectively solves the technical problems of unstable display and image tearing.
