Apparently, the described embodiments are embodiments of relevant parts of the present application.
Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a data storage circuit. The data storage circuit includes at least one data storage sub-module. The data storage sub-module includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a capacitor unit and a first operational amplifier.

With continued reference to
A working process of the data storage sub-module 101 includes a first time period and a second time period. In the first time period, the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 are turned on, and the second switch 122 is turned off, so that a data signal received by the input terminal IN of the data storage circuit 101 is controlled to be written into the first node N1 and to be stored in the capacitor unit 13, and the voltage of the second node N2 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3. In the second time period, the first switch 11 is turned off, the third switch 123 is turned off, and the second switch 122 is turned on, so that the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3.
With continued reference to
In the first time period, the first switch 11 is turned on, so that the data signal received by the input terminal IN of the data storage circuit 01 is written into the first node N1 and stored in the capacitor unit 13. Moreover, the third switch 123 is also turned on, so that a short circuit is formed between the second node N2 and the third node N3, and further the voltage of the second node N2 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3, whereby a voltage of the output terminal of the first operational amplifier 121 is equal to vref1+Vos, where Vos is an unregulated voltage of the first operational amplifier 121, that is, each of the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 is vref1+Vos, in this case, the second switch 122 is turned off, and a potential of the first node N1 and a potential of the third node N3 do not influence each other. In the second time period, the first switch 11 is turned off, the second switch 122 is turned on, and the third switch 123 is turned off, so that a short circuit is formed between the first node N1 and the third node N3, and further the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3. The voltage of the first node N1 is a voltage of a written data signal, so that the data signal of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3, that is, the voltage of the third node N3 is also the voltage of the data signal, while the voltage at the second node N2 remains unchanged, that is, vref1+Vos. In this way, the data signal stored by the capacitor unit 13 may be finally transmitted to the third node N3 stably, and will not be affected by the unregulated voltage of the first operational amplifier 121, thereby improving the stability of the data signal output by the data storage circuit 01, and improving the display uniformity and the display quality of the silicon-based display panel adopting the data storage circuit 01.
In some embodiments, an example in which a turn-on signal of the first switch 11, a turn-on signal of the second switch 122 and a turn-on signal of the third switch 123 are all at a high level, a turn-off signal of the first switch 11, a turn-off signal of the second switch 122 and a turn-off signal of the third switch 123 are all at a low level is used.
A time period between a T0 moment and a T1 moment is a capacitor initialization time period, the first switch 11 is turned off, and both the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 are turned on, so that the voltage of the first node N1, the voltage of the second node N2, and the voltage of the third node N3 are equal and may be the first voltage, in this case, the voltage of the output terminal of the first operational amplifier 121 is equal to vref1+Vos, that is, the first voltage is vref1+Vos, whereby the voltage of the first node N1, the voltage of the second node N2, and the voltage of the third node N3 are all equal and equal to vref1+Vos. The first terminal of the capacitor unit 13 is connected to the first node N1, and the second terminal of the capacitor unit 13 is connected to the second node N2, in this case, the first terminal and the second terminal of the capacitor unit 13 have equal potential and a potential difference of zero. The capacitor unit 13 is initialized, thereby eliminating the influence of the potential difference of the capacitor unit 13 before the T0 moment.
In a time period between the T1 moment and a T2 moment, i.e., a first time period T10, both the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 are turned on, the second switch 122 is turned off, so that the data signal received by the input terminal IN of the data storage circuit 01 is written into the first node N1 and is stored in the capacitor unit 13. Moreover, a short circuit is formed between the second node N2 and the third node N3, so that the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 are the same and are the first voltage, that is, the voltage of the output terminal of the first operational amplifier 121 is kept to be equal to vref1+Vos.
In a time period between the T2 moment and a T3 moment, both the first switch 11 and the second switch 122 are turned off, and the third switch 123 is turned on, so that the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 are maintained at the first voltage, that is, vref1+Vos, and the voltage of the first node N1 is kept to be the voltage of the data signal.
In a time period between the T3 moment and a T4 moment, the first switch 11, the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 are all turned off, so that the voltages of the two terminals of the capacitor unit 13 remain unchanged.
In a time period between the T4 moment and a T5 moment, i.e., a second time period T20, the second switch 122 is turned on, and the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 are turned off, so that a short circuit is formed between the first node N1 and the third node N3, and further the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3. The voltage of the first node N1 is the voltage of the written data signal, so that the data signal of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3, that is, the voltage of the third node N3 is also the voltage of the data signal, and the voltage of the second node N2 remains unchanged as the first voltage vref1+Vos.
The switching of an on state and an off state of the first switch 11, the second switch 122, and the third switch 123 is controlled at different time periods, so that the data signal stored in the capacitor unit 13 may be finally transmitted to the third node N3 stably without being affected by the unregulated voltage of the first operational amplifier 121, the stability of the data signal output by the data storage circuit 01 is improved, further the data signal output by the output terminal OUT of the data storage circuit 01 can be ensured to be stable, and the stability of the data signal output by the data storage circuit 01 is improved, in this way, the display uniformity of the display panel using the data storage circuit 01 can be improved, and the display quality can be improved.
Optionally, the first operational amplifier 121 may be a transconductance first operational amplifier, and the transconductance first operational amplifier has the characteristics of good high-frequency performance, high conversion rate under large signal, simple circuit structure, and low power supply voltage and power consumption, and is easily integrated with other circuits.
Optionally, each of the first switch 11, the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 is a metal oxide field effect transistor or other elements, which is not specifically limited herein.
An embodiment of the present application further provides a silicon-based display panel.
The silicon-based display panel 100 uses a silicon base as a substrate, and both the data storage circuit 10 and the sub-pixel P are disposed on the silicon-based substrate. Optionally, the silicon-based display panel provided in this embodiment is a silicon-based liquid crystal display panel or a silicon-based organic light emitting display panel. The sub-pixel P may include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and the like, which may be set according to practical requirements, and is not limited herein.
With reference to
In two adjacent sub-pixels P electrically connected to the same data line D, the sub-pixel P in a previous row is the sub-pixel P in an n-th row, the sub-pixel P in a next row is the sub-pixel P in an (n+1)-th row, where n is a positive integer. The first data storage sub-module 101A is configured to control a data signal of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row to be transmitted to the data write module 30, and the second data storage sub-module 101B is configured to control a data signal of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row to be transmitted to the data write module 30. That is, in the structure as shown in
With reference to
On the same data line, a data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row may include a first stage t10_A and a second stage t20_A, and the data storage and transmission are completed by the first data storage sub-module 101A. A data driving process of the sub-pixel Pin the (n+1)-th row may include a first stage t10_B and a second stage t 20_B, and the data storage and transmission are completed by the second data storage sub-module 101B. The second stage t20_A in the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row includes the first stage t10_B in the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row.
In a case where the resolution of the display panel is relatively high, the second stage t20 in the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row is disposed to overlap with the first stage t10 in the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row, so that the first data storage sub-module 101A transmits the data signal of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row to the data write module 30, and meanwhile the data drive module 20 writes the data signal of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row into the second data storage sub-module 101B, in this way, the data drive of the silicon-based display panel 100 with a high resolution can be achieved, thereby solving the contradiction between the resolution and the drive time.
For ease of understanding, in conjunction with
With reference to
With reference to
In a time period between the t1 moment and a t2 moment, i. e., the first stage t10_A, Scan(n) is in a high level state, the sub-pixel P in the n-th row is not turned on, and the data signal provided by the data drive module 20 may be firstly written into the data storage sub-module 101A configured to transmit the data signal of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row. At this time, both the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 of the first data storage sub-module 101A are turned on, and the second switch 122 is turned off, so that the data signal received by the input terminal IN of the data storage module 10 is written into the first node N1 and is stored in the capacitor unit 13. Moreover, a short circuit is formed between the second node N2 and the third node N3, so that the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 are the same and are the first voltage, that is, the voltage of the output terminal of the first operational amplifier 121 is kept to be equal to vref1+Vos.
In a time period between the t2 moment and a t3 moment, both the first switch 11 and the second switch 122 are turned off, and the third switch 123 is turned on, so that the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 are maintained at the first voltage, that is, vref1+Vos, and the voltage of the first node N1 is kept to be the voltage of the data signal.
In a time period between the t3 moment and a t4 moment, the first switch 11, the second switch 122, and the third switch 123 are all turned off, so that the voltages of the two terminals of the capacitor unit 13 remain unchanged.
In a time period between the t4 moment and a t5 moment, the second switch 122 is turned on, and the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 are turned off, so that a short circuit is formed between the first node N1 and the third node N3, and further the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3. The voltage of the first node N1 is the voltage of the written data signal, so that the data signal of the first node N1 is transmitted to the third node N3, that is, the voltage of the third node N3 is also the voltage of the data signal, and the voltage of the second node N2 remains unchanged as vref1+Vos.
In a time period between the t5 moment and a t6 moment, i. e., the second time period t20_A, at this time, the second switch 122 is kept to be turned on, the first switch 11 and the third switch 123 are kept to be turned off, the Scan(n) is in a low level state, the sub-pixel P in the n-th row is turned on, and the first data storage sub-module 101A is configured to transmit the data signal of the third node N3 to the data write module 30, so that the data write module 30 writes the data signal into the data line D electrically connected to the sub-pixel P in the n-th row at this stage, and then the data line D transmits the data signal to the sub-pixel P connected to the data line D in the sub-pixel P in the n-th row.
In this way, the first data storage sub-module 101A may finally transmit the stored data signal to the third node N3 and the data line D stably without being affected by the unregulated voltage of the first operational amplifier 121, so that the stability of the data signal outputted by the first data storage sub-module 101A is improved, and further the data signals finally written into the multiple sub-pixels P are ensured to be consistent, to improve the display uniformity of the silicon-based display panel and the display quality.
Based on the same principle, the driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row may be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail here. With continued reference to
The third switch 123 is turned on within the first stage t10, to enable the voltage of the second node N2 to be the same as the voltage of the third node N3, thereby preventing the voltage of the first node N1 from deviating under the coupling effect of the capacitor unit 13 due to the voltage fluctuation of the second node N2, and further affecting the stability of the data signal transmitted from the first node N1 to the third node N3 subsequently when the second switch 122 is turned on. Specifically, a fact that the voltage of the first node N1 deviates under the coupling effect of the capacitor unit 13 due to the voltage fluctuation of the second node N2 refers to that, in a case where the second switch 122 is turned on, since the third switch 123 is not turned off yet, a short circuit is formed between the first node N1 and the second node N2, at this time, the voltage of the first node N1, the voltage of the second node N2 and the voltage of the third node N3 are all the same, so that the data signal of the first node N1 and the voltage (i. e., vref1+Vos) output by the first operational amplifier 121 may be overlapped or affect each other. In this case, when the first switch 11 is in a turn-off state, the voltage (i. e. vref1+Vos) output by the first operational amplifier 121 is transmitted to the first node N1. Furthermore, after the third switch 123 is turned off, the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the third node N3 are the same, and are each vref1+Vos, instead of the voltage of the data signal.
With continued reference to
In this embodiment, the data write module 30 may include one data write sub-module, and may also include two independent data write sub-modules, which may be set according to practical requirements.
In an optional embodiment,
Optionally, on the same data line D, in the first stage of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, when the data drive module 20 writes the data of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row into the first data storage sub-module 101A for storage, at this time, the fourth switch 14 in the first data storage sub-module 101A and the fourth switch 14 in the second data storage sub-module 101 B are turned off, and the first switch 11 in the second data storage sub-module 101B is also turned off. In the second stage of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, the fourth switch 14 of the first data storage sub-module 101A is turned on to transmit the data signal stored by the first data storage sub-module 101A to the first data write sub-module 301A, so that the first data write sub-module 301A writes the received data signal into the data line and the sub-pixel P in the n-th row.
Similarly, in the first stage of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row of the same data line, the fourth switch 14 of the second data storage sub-module 101B is turned off, and in the second stage of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row, the fourth switch 14 of the second data storage sub-module 101B is turned on.
As can be seen from this, each of the first data storage sub-module 101A and the second data storage sub-module 101 B is electrically connected to the same data write sub-module 301, thus the multiple data storage sub-modules 101 need to transmit data signals to the data write sub-module 301 in a time-division manner, in this way, it is necessary to control the fourth switch 14 in the multiple data storage sub-modules 101 to be turned on only in the second stage in which the data storage sub-module 101 needs to transmit the data signal to the data write sub-module 301, thereby avoiding affecting the normal display of the silicon-based display panel due to wrong data signals written into the sub-pixels.
With continued reference to
The data write sub-module 301 further includes a sixth switch 3013. The sixth switch 3013 is electrically connected between a pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 and the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011. The sixth switch 3013 is configured to be turned on in a time period from a starting moment of the first stage t10 to an ending moment of the first sub-stage t21, so that a pre-charging voltage signal vref2 of the pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 is provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011.
Optionally, with reference to
As shown, in some embodiments, the second stage t20_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row includes a first sub-phase t21_A and a second sub-stage t22_A in succession, and the fifth switch 3012 is configured to be turned off in the first sub-phase t21_A and turned on in the second sub-stage t22_A. In the first sub-phase t21_A, although the fourth switch 14 of the first data write sub-module 301A is turned on, the signal of the third node N3 in the first data write sub-module 301A cannot be transmitted to the data write sub-module 301. In the second sub-stage t22_A, the fourth switch 14 is still turned on, and the fifth switch 3012 is also turned on, to control the signal of the third node N3 to be transmitted to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011. The sixth switch 3013 is configured to be turned on in a time period from a starting moment of the first stage t10_A to an ending moment of the first sub-stage t21_A, so that the pre-charging voltage signal vref2 of the pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 is provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011. That is, when the signal of the third node N3 is not transmitted to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011, the pre-charging voltage signal vref2 is controlled to be provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011. For other processes, reference may be made to the description in the foregoing other embodiments, and details are not repeatedly described herein.
Optionally,
With continued reference to
Optionally, the data write sub-module 301 further includes a sixth switch 3013. The sixth switch 3013 is electrically connected between the pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 and the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011. The sixth switch 3013 is configured to be turned on in a time period from a starting moment of the first stage t10 to an ending moment of the first sub-stage t21, so that a pre-charging voltage signal vref2 of the pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 is provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011.
In some embodiments, an example in which the n-th row is an odd row and the (n+1)-th row is an even row is used, with reference to
In the first stage t10_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, the data drive module 20 writes the data of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row into the first data storage sub-module 101A for storage. At this time, a path between the second data storage sub-module 101B and the data drive module 20 is disconnected, that is, the first switch 11 of the second data storage sub-module 101B is turned off, whereby the data drive module 20 is prevented from writing the data of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row into the second data storage sub-module 101B.
In the second stage t20_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, the first data storage sub-module 101A transmits the stored data signal to the first data write sub-module 301A, so that the first data write sub-module 301A writes the received data signal to the first data line D1 and the sub-pixel P in the n-th row. In the second stage t20_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, a path between the first data storage sub-module 101A and the data drive module 20 is disconnected, that is, the first switch 11 of the first data storage sub-module 101A is turned off, and the first switch 11 of the second data storage sub-module 101B is turned on, so that the data drive module 20 writes the data of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row into the second data storage sub-module 101B for storage. In a case where the scan signal is scanning the sub-pixel P in the (n+2)-th row, the second data storage sub-module 101B transmits the stored data signal to the second data write sub-module 301B, so that the second data write sub-module 301B writes the received data signal into the second data line D2 and the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row. In a case where the scan signal scans the (n+2)-th row, the data drive module 20 rewrites the data of the sub-pixel P in the (n+2)-th row into the first data storage sub-module 101A for storage. At this time, a path between the second data storage sub-module 101B and the data drive module 20 is disconnected, that is, the first switch 11 of the second data storage sub-module 101B is turned off. In this way, data signals may be successively written to the multiple rows of sub-pixels P, to complete the display of one frame of display surface picture, whereby a duration of writing the data signal into the multiple rows of sub-pixels P can be improved, the accuracy of writing the data signal into the sub-pixels P can be ensured, and the display quality can be improved.
With continued reference to
With continued reference to
Optionally, in a case where the fifth switch 3012 is turned on, the sixth switch 3013 is still in an on state, so that the signal received by the inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier 3011 is a data signal provided by the data storage sub-module 101 and a voltage signal obtained after the pre-charging voltage signal vref2 of the pre-charging voltage signal terminal Vref2 is superposed, whereby the normal display of the silicon-based display panel is affected due to errors in the data signal finally written into the sub-pixel P. In this way, in a case where the sixth switch 3013 is turned on, it needs to be ensured that the fifth switch 3012 is turned off, and only after the sixth switch 3013 is turned off, the fifth switch 3012 may be turned on, to avoid affecting the accuracy of the data signal written into the sub-pixel P and improve the display effect.
On the basis of any one of the above-described embodiments, optionally, each of the first switch 11, the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 is a metal oxide field effect transistor or other elements, which is not limited herein.
Optionally, the first operational amplifier 121 may be a transconductance first operational amplifier, and the transconductance first operational amplifier has the characteristics of good high-frequency performance, high conversion rate under large signal, simple circuit structure, and low power supply voltage and power consumption, and is easily integrated with other circuits.
The data drive module 20 may be a driver chip or a driver circuit integrated in the silicon-based display panel 100, which is not limited herein. The data driving process of the sub-pixel P may be an entire process in which the data signal is written into the sub-pixel P by sequentially passing through the data drive module 20, the data storage module 10, the data write module 30 and the data line D. In this process, the data storage module 10 may store the data signal provided by the data drive module 20, so that on the one hand, the stability of the data signal written to the data write module 30 may be improved, and on the other hand, in a case where the data storage module 10 includes multiple data storage sub-modules 101, the data drive module 20 can write different data signals to the multiple data storage sub-modules 101 in a short period of time, which is conducive to improving the charging rate of the sub-pixel P and achieving the driving of the silicon-based display panel with the high-resolution.
Optionally, the silicon-based display panel may include multiple data storage modules 10, and the multiple data storage modules 10 are electrically connected to the same data drive module 20. The data drive module 20 is configured to provide data signals of the multiple sub-pixels P in a time-division manner.
In some embodiments, the data drive module 20 is electrically connected to three data storage modules 10 at the same time. The data storage module 10 includes two data storage sub-modules 101, the data write module 30 includes two data write sub-modules, and the data line D electrically connected to the same column of sub-pixels P includes the first data line D1 and the second data line D2. In the same column of sub-pixels P, sub-pixels P in odd rows are electrically connected to the first data line D1, and sub-pixels P in even rows are electrically connected to the second data line D2. The two data storage sub-modules 101 are respectively a first data storage sub-module 101A and a second data storage sub-module 101B. The two data write sub-modules are respectively a first data write sub-module 301A and a second data write sub-module 301B.
In a case where the n-th row is the odd row, in the first stage t10_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the n-th row, the first switch 11 of the first data storage sub-module 101A in the multiple data storage modules 10 that separately transmit the data signal to the first sub-pixel P1, the second sub-pixel P2 and the third sub-pixel P is turned on in a time-division manner, that is, the control signals k1_P1, k1_P2, and k1_P3 of the first switch 11 of the multiple first data storage sub-modules 101A are sequentially controlled to be at the high level in a time-division manner. In this case, working states of the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 of the first data storage sub-module 101A in the multiple data storage modules 10 are the same. For a specific working process, reference is made to the foregoing description, and details are not described herein again. Similarly, in the first stage t10_A of the data driving process of the sub-pixel P in the (n+1)-th row, the first switch 11 of the second data storage sub-module 101B in the multiple data storage modules 10 for separately transmitting the data signal to the first sub-pixels P1, the second sub-pixel P2, and the third sub-pixel P is turned on in a time-division manner, that is, the control signals k1′_P1, k1′_P2, and k1′_P3 of the first switch 11 of the multiple first data storage sub-modules 101A are sequentially controlled to be at the high level in a time-division manner. In this case, working states of the second switch 122 and the third switch 123 of the second data storage sub-module 101B in the multiple data storage modules 10 are the same. For a specific working process, reference is made to the foregoing description, and details are not described herein again. In this way, for the silicon-based display panel with the high resolution, the drive speed of the data signal written into the sub-pixel may be accelerated. In addition, the multiple data storage modules 10 are provided so that the same data drive module 20 provides data signals with different data, so that the number of data drive modules 20 can be reduced, thereby simplifying the whole display panel structure, and facilitating not only the design of a narrow border but also reducing the cost.
An embodiment of the present application further provides a display device.
