In some embodiments, the display driving device 100A of the present disclosure is a circuit architecture composed of 14 transistors and 4 capacitors, and the display driving device 100A can be applied to Micro LED tiled displays.
In some embodiments, the display driving device 100A of the present disclosure can self-compensate for variations in the threshold voltages of thin-film transistors T2 and T12 and variations in the voltage drop (I-R drop) of the power supply signal SDD. The display driving device 100A can use a pulse width modulation (PWM) driving method to achieve optimal light-emission efficiency across all grayscale levels of the Micro LED.
In some embodiments, some driving devices may have more than 4 transistors in the light-emission current path. However, the display driving device 100A of the present disclosure can achieve power savings by reducing the number of thin-film transistors (TFTs) in the light-emission current path (e.g., to 2).
In some embodiments, the boost circuit 122A in the display driving device 100A of the present disclosure can further reduce the cross-voltage between the voltage level VDD and the voltage level VSS through capacitive coupling of high voltage, thereby achieving reduced power consumption.
From the above embodiments of the present disclosure, it is understood that the application of the present disclosure has the following advantages. The display driving device and display driving method shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure can increase the turn-on voltage of transistors in the light-emitting circuit through the boost circuit, thereby achieving the effect of operating the transistors in the linear region.
Although the present invention has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments thereof, other embodiments are possible. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims.
