Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic device 10 includes a pixel circuit PU and a detection circuit 100. The pixel circuit PU includes a driving circuit DC and a light-emitting element LE. The detection circuit 100 includes a programming detection circuit 110, a light-emitting detection circuit 120 and a determining circuit 130. The programming detection circuit 110 receives a scan signal SN[n], a reset signal RST[n] and a light-emitting enable signal EM[n] for the driving circuit DC. The programming detection circuit 110 provides the first detection signal SD1 in the first stage according to the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. The light-emitting detection circuit 120 receives the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. The light-emitting detection circuit 120 provides the second detection signal SD2 in the second stage according to the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].


In this embodiment, the determining circuit 130 is coupled to the programming detection circuit 110 and the light-emitting detection circuit 120. The determining circuit 130 determines whether to output the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC according to the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2.


The determining circuit 130 determines whether an abnormality occurs in the first stage and the second stage according to the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2. When it is determined that an abnormality occurs in at least one of the first stage and the second stage, the determining circuit 130 stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC. On the other hand, when it is determined that the abnormality does not occur in the first stage and the second stage, the determining circuit 130 outputs the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC. For example, when the first detection signal SD1 indicates an abnormality, the determining circuit 130 will learn that one of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is abnormal in the first stage. Therefore, the determining circuit 130 stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC. When the second detection signal SD2 indicates an abnormality, the determining circuit 130 will learn that one of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is abnormal in the second stage. Therefore, the determining circuit 130 stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC. When neither the first detection signal SD1 nor the second detection signal SD2 indicates abnormality, the determining circuit 130 learns that the abnormality does not occur in the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. Therefore, the determining circuit 130 outputs the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC.


It should be noted here that the detection circuit 100 detects the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to provide the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD1, and determine whether to output the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC according to the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2. In this way, the detection circuit 100 may determine whether the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] are abnormal according to the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2, and stop outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC accordingly.


In this embodiment, the detection circuit 100 may be applied to a display device, for example. The driving circuit DC is, for example, a pixel driving circuit disposed in the pixel unit PU (the disclosure is not limited thereto). In this embodiment, the driving circuit DC may use the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to drive the light-emitting element LE disposed in the pixel unit PU. The light-emitting element LE may be at least one light-emitting diode or other suitable electronic components. Taking this embodiment as an example, the driving circuit DC includes a scan transistor TS, a reset transistor TR, a driving transistor TD, an enable transistor TEM, and a capacitor CC. The first terminal of the scan transistor TS receives the data signal VD. The second terminal of the scan transistor TS is coupled to the control node NDC. The control terminal of the scan transistor TS receives the scan signal SN[n]. The first terminal of the reset transistor TR is coupled to the control node NDC. The second terminal of the reset transistor TR is coupled to the reset bias voltage VRST. The control terminal of the reset transistor TR receives the reset signal RST[n]. The reset signal RST[n] may be the previous-stage scan signal (e.g., scan signal SN[n−1], the present disclosure is not limited thereto). The first terminal of the driving transistor TD receives the high reference voltage ARVDD. The control terminal of the driving transistor TD is coupled to the control node NDC. The first terminal of the enable transistor TEM is coupled to the second terminal of the driving transistor TD. The control terminal of the enable transistor TEM receives the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] through the determining circuit 130. The first terminal of the light-emitting element LE is coupled to the second terminal of the enable transistor TEM. The second terminal of the light-emitting element LE is coupled to the second terminal of the enable transistor TEM to receive the low reference voltage ARVSS. The capacitor CC is coupled between the first terminal of the driving transistor TD and the control terminal of the driving transistor TD. In this embodiment, the scan transistor TS, the reset transistor TR, the driving transistor TD and the enable transistor TEM are respectively exemplified as P-type transistors, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Therefore, in this embodiment, the driving circuit DC operates based on the negative pulses of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. The driving circuit DC of this embodiment is implemented by, for example, a structure of 4 transistors and 1 capacitor (4T1C), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Circuits capable of driving components based on the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n], and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] all belong to the scope of the driving circuit DC of the present disclosure.


In the present embodiment, in an example in which the detection circuit 100 may be applied, for example, to a display device, the first stage is a data input stage for the driving circuit DC. Therefore, the determining circuit 130 may use the first detection signal SD1 to determine whether the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] in the data input stage are abnormal. Furthermore, the second stage is a light-emitting stage for the driving circuit DC. Therefore, the determining circuit 130 may use the second detection signal SD2 to determine whether the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] in the light-emitting stage are abnormal.


Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A at the same time. FIG. 2A is a timing diagram of a normal signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2A shows a normal timing diagram of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n], and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. In the first stage P1, the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is at high level. The reset signal RST[n] has a negative pulse. The scan signal SN[n] also has a negative pulse. The timing of the negative pulse of the reset signal RST[n] is ahead of the timing of the negative pulse of the scan signal SN[n]. The negative pulse of the reset signal RST[n] and the negative pulse of the scan signal SN[n] do not overlap each other in timing. Therefore, the programming detection circuit 110 provides the first detection signal SD1 with a first level (e.g., a high level) according to the above timing in the first stage P1.


In the second stage P2, the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is at low level. The reset signal RST[n] and the scan signal SN[n] are respectively at a high level.


Therefore, the light-emitting detection circuit 120 provides the second detection signal SD2 having the first level according to the above timing in the second stage P2.


The determining circuit 130 outputs the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC according to the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2 having the first level.



FIG. 2B to FIG. 2D are timing diagrams of abnormal signals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, respectively. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2B at the same time. FIG. 2B shows an abnormal timing diagram of the scan signal SN[n] in the first stage P1. In the first stage P 1, the scan signal SN[n] has no negative pulse. Therefore, the programming detection circuit 110 provides the first detection signal SD1 having the second level (e.g., the low level) according to the above-mentioned timing in the first stage P1. The determining circuit 130 stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC according to the first detection signal SD1 having the second level.


Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2C at the same time. FIG. 2C shows an abnormal timing diagram of the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] in the first stage P1. In the first stage P1, when the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is at a low level, the programming detection circuit 110 also provides the first detection signal SD1 of the second level.


Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2D at the same time. FIG. 2D shows an abnormal timing diagram of the scan signal SN[n] in the second stage P2. In the second stage P2, the scan signal SN[n] and the reset signal RST[n] have at least one negative pulse. Therefore, the light-emitting detection circuit 120 provides the second detection signal SD2 having the second level according to the above timing in the second stage P2. The determining circuit 130 stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC according to the second detection signal SD2 having the second level. In some embodiments, in the second stage P2, when the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] is at a high level, the programming detection circuit 110 also provides a second detection signal SD2 with a second level.


Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a first schematic circuit diagram of the detection circuit according to the first embodiment.

The first terminal of the fourth detection transistor T4 is coupled to the voltage regulator node NDB. The control terminal of the fourth detection transistor T4 receives the reset signal RST[n]. The first terminal of the fifth detection transistor T5 is coupled to the second terminal of the third detection transistor T3 and the second terminal of the fourth detection transistor T4. The second terminal of the fifth detection transistor T5 is coupled to the low voltage VGL. The control terminal of the fifth detection transistor T5 receives the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].


The determining circuit 230 includes a voltage regulator circuit 231, a pull-up circuit 232, a transmitting circuit 233, and a pull-down circuit 234. The voltage regulator circuit 231 is coupled to the voltage regulator node NDB. The voltage regulator circuit 231 provides regulated voltage to the voltage regulator node NDB. The pull-up circuit 232 is coupled to the voltage regulator node NDB. The transmitting circuit 233 is coupled to the pull-up circuit 232. The pull-down circuit 234 is coupled to the transmitting circuit 233. In this embodiment, the pull-up circuit 232 is disabled in response to the first level (such as a high level) at the voltage regulator node NDB, so that the transmitting circuit 233 is turned on by the pull-down circuit 234 and outputs the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC. The pull-up circuit 232 is enabled in response to the second level (e.g., low level) at the voltage regulator node NDB, so that the transmitting circuit 233 is turned off and stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC.


In this embodiment, the voltage regulator circuit 231 includes a capacitor C1. The capacitor C1 is coupled between the high voltage VGH and the voltage regulator node NDB. The voltage regulator circuit 231 may provide a bias voltage to the voltage regulator node NDB by using the high voltage VGH. The pull-up circuit 232 includes a transistor T6. The first terminal of the transistor T6 is coupled to the high voltage VGH. The second terminal of the transistor T6 is coupled to the transmitting circuit 233.

The control terminal of the transistor T8 is coupled to the second terminal of the transistor T7. The pull-down circuit 234 includes a resistor R1. The resistor R1 is coupled between the control terminal of the transistor T8 and the low voltage VGL.


In this embodiment, the first detection transistor T1, the second detection transistor T2, the third detection transistor T3, the fourth detection transistor T4, the fifth detection transistor T5, and the transistors T6 to T8 are respectively, for example, exemplified as a P-type transistor. In some embodiments, the first detection transistor T1, the second detection transistor T2, the third detection transistor T3, the fourth detection transistor T4, the fifth detection transistor T5, and the transistors T6 to T8 may also be N-type transistors.


Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2A and FIG. 3 at the same time, in this embodiment, in the first stage P1, based on normal timing of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 may jointly provide the first detection signal SD1 having the first level (high level) to the voltage regulator node NDB. In addition, in the second stage P2, based on the normal timing of the scan signal SN[n], the reset signal RST[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the third detection transistor T3, the fourth detection transistor T4, and the fifth detection transistor T5 may jointly provide the second detection signal SD2 having the first level to the voltage regulator node NDB. Both the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2 have a high level. Therefore, the level at the voltage regulator node NDB is maintained at a high level. The transistor T6 will be turned off. The voltage value of the control terminal of the transistor T8 is pulled down to a low level by the pull-down circuit 234. Therefore, the transistor T8 is turned on to output the received light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DC.


Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2B and FIG. 3 at the same time. In this embodiment, in the first stage P1, based on the abnormal timing of the scan signal SN[n], the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 may jointly provide the first detection signal SD1 having the second level (low level) to pull down the level at the voltage regulator node NDB. The transistor T6 will be turned on. The transistor T6 adopts the high voltage VGH to set the level of the second terminal of the transistor T8 to a high level. Therefore, the enable transistor TEM of the driving circuit DC stops driving the light-emitting element LE based on the high level at the second terminal of the transistor T8. Furthermore, in the second stage P2, the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] has a low level. The transistor T7 is turned on in response to the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] having a low level. The transistor T6 adopts a high voltage VGH to turn off the transistor T8. Therefore, the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] having a low level is turned on and not output to the driving circuit DC.

In the present embodiment, in the first stage P1, based on the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] having a low level, the first detection transistor T1 and the second detection transistor T2 may jointly provide the first detection signal SD1 with a second level (low level) to pull down the level at the voltage regulator node NDB. The transistor T6 will be turned on. The transistor T7 is turned on in response to the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] having a low level. The transistor T6 adopts the high voltage VGH to set the level of the second terminal of the transistor T8 and the control terminal of the transistor T8 to a high level. Therefore, the transistor T8 is turned off In addition, the enable transistor TEM of the driving circuit DC stops driving the light-emitting element LE based on the high level at the second terminal of the transistor T8. In the second stage P2, the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] still has a low level. Therefore, the transistor T8 is still turned off. The light-emitting enable signal EM[n] with a low level is turned on and not output to the driving circuit DC.

The transistor T6 will be turned on. The transistor T7 is turned on in response to the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] having a low level. The transistor T6 adopts the high voltage VGH to set the level of the second terminal of the transistor T8 and the control terminal of the transistor T8 to a high level. Therefore, the transistor T8 is turned off. In addition, the enable transistor TEM of the driving circuit DC stops driving the light-emitting element LE based on the high level at the second terminal of the transistor T8.

The transistors T6 and T10 are turned on. Therefore, the transistor T6 adopts the high voltage VGH to turn off the transistor T8. Under the circumstances, the transistor T10 turns off the transistor T9 by adopting the high voltage VGH. Therefore, there is no leakage current between the control terminal of the transistor T8 and the low voltage VGL.


When both the first detection signal SD1 and the second detection signal SD2 have a high level, the transistors T6 and T10 are turned off. The transistor T11 pulls down the level of the control terminal of the transistor T9 to a low level. The transistor T9 is turned on. Therefore, the transistor T8 is turned on to transmit the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].

Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram of an electronic device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic device 30 includes a next-stage driving circuit DCN and a detection circuit 300. The detection circuit 300 includes a driving detection circuit 310, a determining circuit 320 and a correction circuit 330. The driving detection circuit 310 receives the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] for the driving circuit (e.g., the driving circuit DC shown in FIG. 1). The driving detection circuit 310 provides the driving detection signal SD3 according to the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n]. The determining circuit 320 is coupled to the driving detection circuit 310. The determining circuit 320 determines whether to output the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN according to the driving detection signal SD3. The correction circuit 330 is coupled to the determining circuit 320. The correction circuit 330 corrects the level of output of the determining circuit 320 according to the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].


In this embodiment, the detection circuit 300 may determine whether the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] are abnormal according to the driving detection signal SD3, and stop outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN accordingly.


The detection circuit 300 may be applied to a display device, for example. The driving circuit is, for example, a pixel driving circuit disposed in the pixel unit (the disclosure is not limited thereto). The next-stage driving circuit DCN is a gate driving circuit. In this embodiment, the next-stage driving circuit DCN transmits the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] through the detection circuit 300. The next-stage driving circuit DCN generates the next-stage scan signal SN[n+1] according to the scan signal SN[n], and generates the next-stage light-emitting enable signal EM[n+1] according to the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].


In this embodiment, the determining circuit 320 determines whether the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] are abnormal according to the driving detection signal SD3. When it is determined that an abnormality occurs to at least one of the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the determining circuit 320 stops outputting the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN. Furthermore, the correction circuit 330 corrects the level of the output of the determining circuit 320. Therefore, the next-stage driving circuit DCN does not generate the next-stage scan signal SN[n+1] and the next-stage light-emitting enable signal EM[n+1].


On the other hand, when it is determined that the abnormality does not occur in the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the determining circuit 320 outputs the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN. Therefore, the next-stage driving circuit DCN generates the next-stage scan signal SN[n+1] and the next-stage light-emitting enable signal EM[n+1].


Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 6 at the same time. In this embodiment, based on the normal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the driving detection circuit 310 does not provide the driving detection signal SD3 with a second level (low level). Therefore, the determining circuit 320 outputs the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN.


Please refer to FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D and FIG. 6 at the same time. In this embodiment, based on the abnormal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and/or the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the driving detection circuit 310 provides the driving detection signal SD3 with a second level. Therefore, the determining circuit 320 may stop outputting the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN according to the driving detection signal SD3 having the second level. In addition, the correction circuit 330 corrects the level of the output of the determining circuit 320 according to the abnormal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and/or the light-emitting enable signal EM[n].

The pull-up circuit 422 is enabled in response to the second level (e.g., low level) at the voltage regulator node NDB′, so that the transmitting circuit 423 is turned off and stops outputting the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the next-stage driving circuit DCN.


In this embodiment, the voltage regulator circuit 421 includes a capacitor C2. The capacitor C2 is coupled between the high voltage VGH and the voltage regulator node NDB′.

Please refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 at the same time. In this embodiment, based on the normal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] do not have a low level simultaneously. The first detection transistor T1′ and the second detection transistor T2′ are not turned on simultaneously. The driving detection signal SD3 having the second level (low level) is not supplied to the voltage regulator node NDB′. Therefore, the level at the voltage regulator node NDB′ is maintained at a high level. The transistor T4′ will be turned off. The voltage values of the control terminals of the transistors T5′ and T6′ are pulled down to a low level by the pull-down circuit 424. Therefore, the transistor T5′ is turned on to output the received scan signal SN[n] to the driving circuit DCN. The transistor T6′ is turned on to output the received light-emitting enable signal EM[n] to the driving circuit DCN.


In addition, based on the normal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] do not have a low level simultaneously. The transistors T7′ and T8′ are not turned on simultaneously. The transistors T9′ and T10′ are not turned on simultaneously. Therefore, the correction circuit 430 does not adopt the high voltage VGH to correct the levels at the second terminal of the transistor T5′ and at the second terminal of the transistor T6′ to a high level.


Please refer to FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 at the same time. In this embodiment, based on the abnormal timing of the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n], the scan signal SN[n] and the light-emitting enable signal EM[n] have a low level simultaneously. Therefore, the first detection transistor T1′ and the second detection transistor T2′ provide the driving detection signal SD3 having the second level to pull down the level at the voltage regulator node NDB′. The transistor T4′ is turned on, and the high voltage VGH is adopted to set the level of the control terminals of the transistors T5′ and T6′ to a high level.
