Description

FIELD

This application relates to circuit technical field, particularly to an integrated circuit, a mobile phone and a display provided with the integrated circuit.

BACKGROUND

An integrated circuit, also known as a microcircuit, microchip or chip, is a microelectronic device or component. An integrated circuit is a micro-structure having required circuit functions, formed by using a certain process to interconnect the elements and circuits required in a circuit on one or several substrates.

The integrated circuit can be applied to devices in the field of military, communication, remote control, and the like. Taking an integrated circuit applied to a mobile phone as an example, as shown in FIG. 1, a data distributor 2 (DEMUX, also referred to as a demultiplexer), a data driver 3, and a power line 4 and a data line 5 connected to the data driver 3 are integrated on the substrate 1. Here, the data line 5 is used to transmit data signals. The data distributor 2 is used to distribute the signals transmitted by the data line 5 into multipath signals, so that it is possible to ensure fewer data lines connected to the data driver 3. The power line 4 is used to transfer power to supply power to the data driver 3.

Generally, after the power line 4 is drawn out of the data driver 3, it is necessary to make the power line bypass the data distributor 2, so as to extend to other areas of the substrate 1 to supply power to devices in other areas. However, this causes the parasitic capacitance across the data line 5 to be large, so that the transmission of the data signal can be blocked, which results in delay of the data signal.

SUMMARY

The embodiments of the present application provide an integrated circuit to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the parasitic capacitance on the data line is so large such that the data signal may be delayed.

The embodiments of the present application also provide a mobile phone and a display to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the parasitic capacitance on the data line is so large such that the data signal can be delayed.

The following technical solution can be adopted by the embodiments of the present application.

An integrated circuit of the present application comprises a substrate, a data distributor and a data driver distributed on the substrate, the data distributor having a power line trace gap provided therein; a plurality of first data lines; a plurality of second data lines; and at least one first power line connected to the data driver and passing through the power line trace gap, wherein the first data lines are connected to the data driver, the data driver is configured to drive the first data lines, transmit data signal to the first data lines, and transmit the data signal through the first data line.

wherein the data distributor is connected to the first data lines and the second data lines for shunting the data signals transmitted by the first data lines, and transmitting the shunted data signals to the second data lines.

Optionally, the integrated circuit further comprises a plurality of second data lines connected to the data distributor and intersected with scan lines of the integrated circuit, wherein the second data line each comprises a second data line portion linearly extending, the gaps between two adjacent second data line portions are the same.

The following advantageous effects can be achieved by at least one of the technical solutions adopted by the embodiments of the present application:

In the technical solution adopted by the embodiment of the present application, a data distributor, a data driver, a first data line and a first power line are embedded on the substrate, wherein the first power line passes through a power line trace gap within the data distributor. In this way, the length of the intersection of the first data line and the first power line can be decreased. Since the intersection area of the first data line and the first power line has a parasitic capacitance, when the intersection area of the first data line and the first power line decreases, the parasitic capacitance accumulated to the first data line can be correspondingly reduced, therefore the hindrance of the parasitic capacitance of the first data line to the data signal can be reduced, thereby the delay of the data signal can be reduced. Thus, the present application proposes a technical solution that the parasitic capacitance of the data lines can be reduced, thereby reducing the delay of the data signals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the purpose, the technical solution and advantages of the present application more clear, the technical solution of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the specific embodiments and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work will fall into the protection scope of the present application.

Refer to FIG. 2, the integrated circuit of the present application includes a substrate 1, a data distributor 2, a data driver 3, a first power line 4 connected to a plurality of pixels, a plurality of first data lines 5, and a plurality of second data lines 6 respectively distributed on the substrate 1. The substrate 1 have multiple layers, the first data lines 5 and the second data lines 6 may be located on the same layer. The first data lines 5 and the first power line 4 are located on different layers. The layer on which the data lines 5 is located and the layer on which the first power line 4 is located may be spaced by an insulating layer. The data distributor 2 and the data driver 3 respectively pass through the layer on which the data lines 5 is located and the layer on which the first power line 4 is located.

Each of the first data lines 5 is connected to the data driver 3, and the data driver 3 is configured to drive the first data line 5, transmit the data signal to the first data line 5, and transmit the data signal through the first data line 5. The data distributor 2 is connected to the first data line 5 and the second data line 6 for shunting the data signal transmitted by the first data line 5 and transmitting the shunted data signal to the second data line 6. The second data line 6 is disposed across the scan line (not shown) of the integrated circuit.

As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, a power line trace gap 81 is provided in the data distributor 2. The first power line 4 passes through the power line trace gap 81 after being drawn from the data driver 3. The first power line 4 may be provided with at least two power lines. Each of the first power lines 4 is located in a different power line trace gaps 81. That means one of the first power line 4 is disposed in one power line trace gap 81. Each of the first power lines 4 can be integrated into a second power line 7 after passing through the data distributor 2, so that the extension direction of the second power line 7 can be substantially parallel to the extension direction of the data driver 3, so as to facilitate the arrangement of other power lines connected to the second power line 7 (other power lines except the first power line 4).

The first power line 4 passes through the power line trace gap 81 without bypassing the data distributor 2. This has little effect on a design of the first power line 4, and has little effect on the resistance voltage drop of the first power line 4; the length of a intersection of the first data line 5 and the first power line 4 can be reduced. Thereby, the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5 can be reduced, in turn, the delay of the data signal can be reduced.

In a specific embodiment, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the data distributor 2 includes a plurality of functional sub-distributors 21 distributed on the substrate 1, and two adjacent functional sub-distributors 21 are connected by wires 22 embedded in the substrate 1. The plurality of functional sub-distributors 21 are disposed in a row, and the orientation of the plurality of functional sub-distributors 21 is substantially parallel to the extension direction of the data driver 3. Each functional sub-distributor 21 is connected to a part of first data lines 5 and a part of second data lines 6. The function of each functional sub-distributor 21 can be specifically set according to requirements.

A certain gap 8 is left between two adjacent functional sub-distributors 21. The gap 8 includes a power line trace gap 81, that is, a power line trace gap 81 is disposed between two adjacent functional sub-distributors 21 to facilitate disposing the power line trace gap 81. The first power line 4 can linearly extend and pass through the data distributor 2 after being drawn from the data driver 3 in the process of arranging the power line trace gap 81, therefore the length of the first power line 4 can be further decreased and the length of the intersection of the first power line 5 and the first data line 4 can be decreased.

Under normal conditions, the number of the first power lines 4 drawn from the data driver 3 is generally not more than three, and the number of the functional sub-distributors 21 is more than ten. Therefore, the gap 8 between the functional sub-distributors 21 may include, in addition to the power line trace gap 81, a vacant gap 82 which is not used to receive the first power line 4. The width of the vacant gap 82 may be smaller than the width of the power line trace gap 81 to reduce the length of the data distributor 2, so that the data distributor 2 can be distributed over the substrate 1.

In one example, the power line has a diameter of approximately 100 μm (micrometers), the power line trace gap 81 may have a width of 110 μm, and the vacant gap 82 may have a width of less than 100 μm. Of course, the example is merely an illustrative description. In practice, it can be set according to specific requirements.

Further, the width B of the first vacant gap 821 may be smaller than the width C of the second vacant gap 822. The first vacant gap 821 is a vacant gap 82 adjacent to the power line trace gap 81, and the second vacant gap 822 is a vacant gap 82 spaced apart from the power line trace gap 81 by at least one first vacant gap 821. In the comparison of the routing manner of the first data line 5 and the routing manner of the second data line 6 under the situation that the width of the first vacant gap and the width of the second vacant gap are equal, the second data line 6 connected to the first functional sub-distributor (the functional sub-distributor 21 between the power line trace gap 81 and the first vacant gap 821) has a greater bending degree, the second data line 6 connected to the second functional sub-distributor (other functional sub-distributors 21 except the first functional sub-distributor) has a smaller bending degree or even extend linearly. The width B of the first vacant gap 821 is smaller than the width C of the second vacant gap 822, which is particularly suitable for the scenario where the resolution of the pixels of the integrated circuit is low and the number of the functional sub-distributors 21 is fewer.

Further, a sum of a width A of a single power line trace gap 81 and a width B of a single first vacant gap 821 is approximately twice that of a width C of a single second vacant gap 822. Refer to the above example, the width of the first vacant gap 821 may be 50 μm, and the width of the second vacant gap 822 may be 80 μm. Thus, the second data line 6 connected to the first functional sub-distributor needs to be bent by a section, and then extends linearly, and the other second data lines 6 can be linearly extended, thus the wiring difficulty can be reduced and the wiring efficiency can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 4, after the second data line 6 is set, the second data line 6 may include a second data line portion 61 linearly extended. The gaps between two adjacent second data line portions 61 may be equal, thereby effectively supplying gray scale signal voltage to respective pixel electrode of the integrated circuit.

The widths of respective vacant gap of the data distributor 2 may be substantially the same (the width of the first vacant gap is substantially the same as the width of the second vacant gap). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the second data line 6 can be bent as needed. Other structures in FIG. 5 (including the substrate 1, the data driver 3, the first power line 4, the first data line 5, the second power line 7, etc.) may be substantially the same as the other structures shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 which will not be described in detail here. The widths of the vacant gaps are the same, and are particularly suitable for the scenario where the resolution of the pixels of the integrated circuit is high and the number of functional sub-distributors is large.

The first vacant gap 821 and the second vacant gap 822 can also be provided in other manners, which will not be described in detail herein.

In addition, it should be noted that, as can be seen from Table 1, when the voltage of the first power line 4 changes, the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5 also changes.

T1	4.38E+03	2.46E−11	1.08E−07	693	1.52E−12	1.05134E−09

In Table 1, T1, T2 and T3 represent the voltages of the first power line 4, the voltage of T1 is greater than the voltage of T3, the voltage of T3 is greater than the voltage of T2, and the voltage of T2 is substantially zero;

R represents the resistance of the first data line 5;

C represents the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5;

RC represents the resistance-capacitance of the first data line 5.

It can be seen from Table 1 that with the technical solution of the present application, the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5 can be effectively reduced; as can also be seen from Table 1, due to adoption of the technical solution of the present application, the larger the voltage of the first power line 4, the more the parasitic capacitance of the first data line 5 can be reduced (relative to that of the prior art).

The present application also provides a mobile phone 100 with a housing and an integrated circuit (as shown in FIG. 6, wherein enlargement of an area D is a schematic structural view as shown in FIG. 5) and a display with a housing and an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit of the mobile phone 100 and the display are disposed in the housing, and the integrated circuit is the integrated circuit mentioned above.

In the mobile phone and the display, the first power line passes through the power line trace gap inside the data distributor. Thus, the length of the intersection of the first data line and the first power line can be decreased. Since a parasitic capacitance is provided in the intersection area of the first data line and the first power line, when the intersection area of the first data line and the first power line decreases, the parasitic capacitance accumulated to the first data line can be correspondingly reduced, therefore the hindrance of the parasitic capacitance of the first data line to the data signal can be reduced, thereby the delay of the data signal can be reduced.

The above is merely the embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present application by a person skilled in the art.
