BACKGROUND

1. Field of Invention

The disclosure relates to a displaying device. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a display-driving structure on a displaying device and a signal transmission method thereof.

2. Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the fast development of display technology, a digital displaying device has been popularized greatly. Currently, most of the displaying devices with a high specification on the market are developing towards a large size and a high definition. For example, a screen size may be 32 inches to 55 inches or more, while a definition also may reach 1920×1080 full high definition or higher.

Currently, in a conventional displaying device, a source driver circuit packaged in a single chip usually has a specific maximum output pin limit. For example, if a single source driver circuit can drive 320 source lines, a screen with a horizontal definition of 1280 needs four source driver circuits for driven and a screen with a horizontal definition of 1920 needs six source driver circuits for driven.

Due to the precision limit of the current line bonding and the maximum length limit of the circuit board manufacturing process, under a conventional driving structure, it is usually necessary to distribute the aforesaid multiple source driver circuits on two source driver circuit boards and additionally configure one control circuit board for providing various control signals for the two source driver circuit boards and the like. That is, the conventional practice at least needs two source driver circuit boards and one additional control circuit board to generate various display driving signals on the source side.

If the screen display size is larger, more source driver circuit boards may be needed to configure. A transmission wiring between the aforesaid multiple source driver circuit boards and the control circuit board will become more complex and it is difficult to meet the current design demand for a narrow bezel displaying device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1, it illustrates a schematic view of a displaying device 100 and a display-driving structure 140 used on the displaying device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the displaying device 100 includes a display panel 120 and the display-driving structure 140. The displaying panel 120 includes a plurality of pixels (not shown) and a plurality of source lines (such as source lines SL1-SL1920 in FIG. 1) for driving the pixels. In the embodiment, the display panel 120 with a horizontal definition of 1920 is exemplified for description, but the disclosure is not limited to this.

The display-driving structure 140 is electrically coupled to the display panel 120 for driving each pixel on the display panel 120 through the source lines SL1-SL1920.

Nowadays, the horizontal definition of the display panel 120 is improved increasingly and the number of the horizontal source lines is increased quickly. Application examples of 1920 source lines or more source lines can be seen often. At present, a single chip package source driver circuit usually has a particular maximum output pin limit and multiple chip source driver circuits (such as SD1a-SD1c and SD2a-SD2c) are usually needed to perform the work respectively for driving the display panel 120 smoothly.

Generally, multiple source driver circuits are configured on the corresponding circuit boards of the bezel portion of the displaying device respectively. However, due to the precision limit of the current line bonding and the circuit board maximum length limit of the circuit board manufacturers, not all the source driver circuits can be configured on a single sheet of circuit board at the same time. The display-driving structure 140 of the disclosure includes at least two sheets of circuit boards (such as a first circuit board CB1 and a second circuit board CB2) each of which corresponds to multiple source driver circuits (such as the first source driver circuits SD1a-SD1c and the second source driver circuits SD2a-SD2c).

In the embodiment, the display-driving structure 140 includes the first circuit board CB1, the second circuit board CB2, a transmission wiring 142, at least one first circuit CB1a (including a time sequence control circuit TCON in the first circuit CB1a in the example of FIG. 1), at least one second circuit CB2a (including a power control circuit PW and a programmable gamma correction circuit PGMA in the second circuit CB2a in the example of FIG. 1), a plurality of first source driver circuits (including SD1a-SD1c in the example of FIG. 1) and a plurality of second source driver circuits (including SD2a-SD2c in the example of FIG. 1).

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the first circuit board CB1 can further include a first connector CN1. The second circuit board CB2 can further include a second connector CN2. In the embodiment, the transmission wiring 142 includes or is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) or a flexible flat cable (FFC) connected to the first connector CN1 and the second connector CN2. The transmission wiring 142 is connected between the first circuit board CB1 and the second circuit board CB2.

In the display driving technology, the source driver circuits need to input various control signals (such as a time sequence control signal, a power signal and a gamma correction signal). In the conventional practice, various control circuits are configured on an additional control circuit board to provide the aforesaid control signals. In the embodiment, the display-driving structure 140 includes the first circuit CB1a and the second circuit CB2a. The first circuit CB1a is configured on the first circuit board CB1 for generating the first signal. The second circuit CB2a is configured on the second circuit board CB2 for generating the second signal.

Referring to FIG. 2 at the same time, it illustrates a transmission schematic view of a time sequence control signal S_TC generated by the time sequence control circuit TCON according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In the embodiment, the first circuit CB1a includes the time sequence control circuit TCON. The first signal includes the time sequence control signal S_TC. The time sequence control circuit TCON is configured to generate the time sequence control signal S_TC to the first/second source driver circuits SD1a-SD1c and SD2a-SD2c on the first circuit board CB1 and the second circuit board CB2. The time sequence control signal S_TC can be, for example, a clock signal, a data signal, a digital data signal and/or an analogue data signal provided by the time sequence controller and so on.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 at the same time, FIG. 3 illustrates a transmission schematic view of a power signal S_PW generated by the power control circuit PW according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 4 illustrates a transmission schematic view of a gamma correction signal S_GMA generated by the programmable gamma correction circuit PGMA according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The power source signal S_PW can be, for example, a voltage source needed by each source driver circuit at the time of operation. The gamma correction signal S_GMA can be, for example, a reference voltage value needed by each source driver circuit to convert the received digital data signal or analogue data signal into an analogue driving voltage for driving the corresponding pixels.

In the embodiment, the second circuit CB2a includes the power control circuit PW and the programmable gamma (P-Gamma) correction circuit PGMA. The corresponding second signal includes the power signal S_PW and the gamma correction signal S_GMA. The power control circuit PW is configured to generating the power signal S_PW to the first/second source driver circuits SD1a-SD1c and SD2a-SD2c corresponding to the first circuit board CB1 and the second circuit board CB2.

Each of the time sequence control circuit TCON, the power control circuit PW and the programmable gamma correction circuit PGMA is packaged in an independent chip and they are configured on the first circuit board CB1 and the second circuit board CB2 averagely according to a total configuration area or a total number of lines of each of them. For example, in the embodiments of FIGS. 1-4, the configuration area of the time sequence control circuit TCON is larger and each of the power control circuit PW and the programmable gamma correction circuit PGMA has a smaller configuration area. Therefore, the waste of the area of the first circuit board CB1 and the second circuit board CB2 can be avoided.

In addition, if the term connecting/coupling referred to throughout the disclosure includes a direct connecting/coupling or an indirect connecting/coupling, that is, other elements also are configured/used for the mutual couple.

The number of the source driver circuits can be four groups, six groups, eight groups or any groups, depending on the actual need. In addition, when the horizontal definition of the display panel 120 is larger or the horizontal width of the display panel 120 is longer, the number of the source driver circuits corresponding to the display-driving structure 140 may be larger while the number of the circuit boards included by the display-driving structure 140 is also not limited to two sheets of circuit boards each of which corresponds to three groups of the source driver circuits (total six groups).

On the other hand, in the display-driving structure 640b in the embodiment of FIG. 6B, the first circuit board CB1 having the protrusion portion CB1p and the second circuit board CB2 having the protrusion portion CB2p are complementary with each other. For example, after being rotated (e.g., 180 degree clockwise/counter clockwise rotation), the first circuit board CB1 in FIG. 6B can be complementary with the second circuit board CB2 to form a rectangle, as shown in FIG. 7, and the shape of the first circuit board CB1 and the shape of the second circuit board CB2 are the same.
