Terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, and the like are used merely to indicate relative positional relationships, which may change accordingly when the absolute position of the object being described changes.


A display apparatus generally includes a display panel, a display driver integrated chip (DDIC) and a system board, the system board is configured to provide a power supply signal to the display driver integrated chip in response to receiving a power-on instruction, and provide a video input signal to the display driver integrated chip according to a content to be displayed by the display panel, the video input signal is a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) signal. The display driver integrated chip provides a display control signal for the display panel according to the video input signal to drive the display panel to display.


In some products, the display driver integrated chip may include a timing control circuit and a data driving circuit, the display panel is provided thereon with a gate driving circuit, the timing control circuit is configured to provide timing signals to the gate driving circuit and the data driving circuit according to the video input signal, so that the gate driving circuit provides scanning signals to pixels of the display panel row by row, and the data driving circuit provides data voltage signals to a corresponding row of pixels to enable the row of pixels to display corresponding gray scales. By adjusting a magnitude of the data voltage signal, the gray scale of the pixel can be adjusted.


In order to prevent the display panel from having residual charges after the display panel is turned off, the display panel is to be discharged after the display apparatus is powered off, so as to prevent the residual charges from affecting an image displayed by the display panel after the display panel is turned on next time. Specifically, the display driver integrated chip controls the display panel to display a discharge picture according to a STBYB signal (i.e., standby control signal), for example, if the data voltage signal supplied by the data driving circuit reaches a maximum value during the display panel displaying a white picture and reaches a minimum value during the display panel displaying a black picture, the discharge picture is a black picture.


It should be noted that controlling the display panel to display the discharge picture means that a data signal corresponding to the discharge picture is provided to the display panel.



FIG. 1 is a timing diagram of a standby control signal and a power supply signal during the display apparatus being turned off, and as shown in FIG. 1, when the display apparatus is turned off (at a time T1 in FIG. 1), the standby control signal STBYB is switched from an active level state (e.g., a high level state) to an inactive level state (e.g., a low level state), and after a time duration t elapses, the power supply signal VDD1 is switched from a high level state to a low level state. The display driver integrated chip controls the display panel to display the discharge picture in response to switching of the standby control signal STBYB from the active level state to the inactive level state.


However, in most system boards, no output pin is designed for the standby control signal STBYB, and the standby control signal STBYB cannot be provided to the display driver integrated chip, so that the display driver integrated chip cannot control the display panel to discharge as desired. In some display apparatuses, the standby control signal STBYB is generated by delaying the power supply signal VDDI, but the standby control signal STBYB thus generated is not desired, thereby causing an abnormal discharge of the display panel.



FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a standby control signal generation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the standby control signal generation circuit is applied in a display driving device of a display apparatus for generating a standby control signal. As shown in FIG. 2, an input terminal IN of the standby control signal generation circuit is connected to a video signal terminal of the system board, and the video signal terminal is configured to supply a video signal. An output terminal OUT of the standby control signal generation circuit is configured to output the standby control signal. The video signal jumps from a low level state to a high level state in response to that the system board receives a power-on signal, and jumps from the high level state to the low level state in response to that the display apparatus receives a power-off signal. It should be understood that the video signal is generated by the system board according to a content of a picture to be displayed by the display panel, and thus, when the video signal is in a high level state, it does not indicate that the video signal is at a fixed potential, but the video signal may fluctuate around a preset bias voltage. The bias voltage is, for example, about 1.2V.


The standby control signal generation circuit includes an amplification sub-circuit 10, an XOR sub-circuit 20 and an adjustment sub-circuit 30.


The amplification sub-circuit 10 is connected to the input terminal IN of the standby control signal generation circuit, and is configured to receive a video signal and amplify the video signal. The XOR sub-circuit 20 is connected to the amplification sub-circuit 10, and is configured to perform an XOR operation on the amplified video signal and a ground signal.


Since a voltage of the video signal in the high level state is relatively low and may fluctuate around the bias voltage, in a case where an input voltage of the XOR sub-circuit 20 reaches a certain threshold value, the input voltage can be recognized as a high level voltage by the XOR sub-circuit 20. Therefore, the video signal is amplified first, and then the amplified video signal is provided to the XOR sub-circuit 20, which is beneficial for the XOR sub-circuit 20 to recognize the high level state in the video signal.


An amplification factor of the amplification sub-circuit 10 may be determined according to the voltage of the video signal in the high level state, and the threshold value of the XOR sub-circuit 20 for recognizing the high level voltage. For example, the XOR sub-circuit 20 recognizes the input voltage as a high level voltage when the input voltage thereof is greater than 5V, the voltage of the video signal in the high level state fluctuates around the bias voltage of 1.2V, and the minimum voltage of the video signal is 1.1V, the amplification factor of the amplification sub-circuit 10 may be configured to be greater than or equal to 4.6.


An operation rule of the XOR sub-circuit 20 is as follows: if it is recognized that a voltage output from the amplification sub-circuit 10 is a high level voltage, an XOR operation is performed on the voltage output from the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the ground signal to output a fixed high level voltage; if it is recognized that the voltage output from the amplification sub-circuit 10 is a low level voltage, an XOR operation is performed on the voltage output from the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the ground signal to output a fixed low level voltage.


The adjustment sub-circuit 30 is connected to the XOR sub-circuit 20, and is configured to perform a proportional adjustment on an amplitude of an output signal of the XOR sub-circuit 20 to generate a standby control signal, and the standby control signal is to be output to the display driver integrated chip, so that the display driver integrated chip can control the display panel to display a preset discharge picture according to the standby control signal.


For the display driver integrated chip, only a signal with a voltage within a specific range can be recognized as a high level signal by the display driver integrated chip, and by providing the adjustment sub-circuit 30, the output voltage of the adjustment sub-circuit 30 can be adjusted, so that the display driver integrated chip can recognize the high level state and the low level state in the output voltage.


The standby control signal generation circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can perform the XOR operation on the amplified video signal and the ground signal, and generate the standby control signal by performing the proportional adjustment on the signal obtained through the XOR operation. The ground signal is always in the low level state, so that when the video signal is in the high level state, the XOR sub-circuit 20 outputs a high level signal, so that the standby control signal output by the adjustment sub-circuit 30 is in the high level state; when the video signal is in the low level state, the XOR sub-circuit 20 outputs a low level signal, so that the standby control signal output from the adjustment sub-circuit 30 is in the low level state. Upon receiving a power-off instruction, the system board switches the video signal from the high level state to the low level state first, and switches, after a time duration elapses, the power supply voltage from the high level state to the low level state, so that when the display apparatus is turned off, the standby control signal generated by the standby control signal generation circuit is switched to the low level state earlier than the power supply voltage, and the display driver integrated chip can control the display panel to display a preset discharge picture in response to switching of the standby control signal before the power supply voltage is shut down, thereby ensuring a normal discharge of the display panel.



FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a standby control signal generation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 illustrates a specific implementation of FIG. 2, and as shown in FIG. 3, the amplification sub-circuit 10 includes an operational amplifier OP, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2.


A non-inverted input terminal of the operational amplifier OP is connected to an input terminal of the standby control generation circuit, an inverted input terminal of the operational amplifier OP is connected to a first terminal of the first resistor R1, a second terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to a ground terminal GND, and an output terminal of the operational amplifier OP is connected to the XOR sub-circuit 20. Two terminals of the second resistor R2 are connected to the inverted input terminal and the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP, respectively.


An amplification factor of the operational amplifier OP is r2/r1, r2 is a resistance of the second resistor R2, and r1 is a resistance of the first resistor R1. Here, the amplification factor of the operational amplifier OP may be determined according to the bias voltage of the video signal and the threshold value of a voltage to be recognized as the high level voltage by the XOR sub-circuit 20, so that resistances of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 are set according to the amplification factor.


In an example, the minimum voltage of the video signal is 1.1V, and the threshold value of the voltage to be recognized as the high level voltage by the XOR sub-circuit 20 is 5V, and in this case, the ratio r2/r1 is set to 4.7, the specific resistances of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 each may be determined according to a desired current, for example, the resistance of the first resistor R1 is set to 1KΩ, and the resistance of the second resistor R2 is set to 4.7KΩ.


In some implementations, the XOR sub-circuit 20 may be an XOR gate chip, a first input terminal of the XOR gate chip is connected to the amplification sub-circuit 10, a second input terminal of the XOR gate chip is grounded, and an output terminal of the XOR gate chip is connected to the adjustment sub-circuit 30. Illustratively, the XOR gate chip is, for example, a 74LS86 chip.


In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 3, the adjustment sub-circuit 30 includes first and second divider resistors R3 and R3′ connected in series between the output terminal of the XOR sub-circuit 20 and the ground terminal GND, and a connection node between the first and second divider resistors R3 and R3′ serves as the output terminal of the adjustment sub-circuit 30 to be connected to the output terminal OUT of the standby control signal generation circuit, so that a voltage at the connection node is output to the display driver integrated chip.


In some implementations, when the video signal is in a high level state, the voltage output by the XOR sub-circuit 20 is denoted as Vd, and the voltage output by the adjustment sub-circuit 30 is Vb=[r3′/(r3+r3′)]*Vd, r3 is a resistance of the first divider resistor R3, and r3′ is a resistance of the second divider resistor R3′. The adjustment proportion (i.e., proportion to be adjusted) of the adjustment sub-circuit 30 may be determined according to Vd and a range of the high level signal to be recognized by the display driver integrated chip, so that the resistances of the first divider resistor R3 and the second divider resistor R3′ can be set according to the adjustment proportion. That is, assuming that the display driver integrated chip recognizes the high level voltage in the voltage range from Vm to Vn, r3 and r3′ satisfy: Vm≤[r3′/(r3+r3′)]*Vd≤Vn.



FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a standby control signal generation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and in some implementations, as shown in FIG. 4, the standby control signal generation circuit may further include a spare time delay sub-circuit 40, the spare time delay sub-circuit 40 may be an RC delay circuit, and includes a fourteenth resistor R14 and a capacitor C, a terminal of the fourteenth resistor R14 is floated, another terminal of the fourteenth resistor R14 is connected to a terminal of the capacitor C, and another terminal of the capacitor C is connected to the ground terminal GND.


The standby control signal generation circuit may be integrated into a driving circuit board, and the fourteenth resistor R14 and the capacitor C may be devices reserved on the driving circuit board. In an actual production process, after the amplification sub-circuit 10, the XOR sub-circuit 20 and the adjustment sub-circuit 30 are manufactured, a signal test may be performed, if a fault occurs in the amplification sub-circuit 10, the XOR sub-circuit 20 and/or the adjustment sub-circuit 30 and a desired standby control signal cannot be generated finally, the fourteenth resistor R14 may be connected with a power supply terminal VDD, so that a connection node between the fourteenth resistor R14 and the capacitor C serves as an output terminal OUT of the standby control signal generation circuit to be connected with the display driver integrated chip, and thus, a signal of the power supply terminal VDD is delayed by the RC delay circuit to generate the standby control signal.



FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a standby control signal generation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and in FIG. 5, structures of the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the adjustment sub-circuit 30 are the same as those in FIG. 3, and are not described again here.


In FIG. 5, the XOR sub-circuit 20 specifically includes a first NOT gate unit 21, a second NOT gate unit 22, a first AND gate unit 23, a second AND gate unit 24, an OR gate unit 25, and a third NOT gate unit 26.


The first NOT gate unit 21 is connected to the amplification sub-circuit 10, and is configured to invert a phase of an output signal of the amplification sub-circuit 10.


The second NOT gate unit 22 is connected to the ground terminal GND, and is configured to invert a phase of a ground signal of the ground terminal GND.


The first AND gate unit 23 is connected to an output terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 and an output terminal of the second NOT gate unit 22, and is configured to perform an AND operation on an output signal of the first NOT gate unit 21 and an output signal of the second NOT gate unit 22.


The second AND gate unit 24 is connected to the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the ground terminal GND, and is configured to perform an AND operation on the output signal of the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the ground signal of the ground terminal GND.


The OR gate unit 25 is connected to an output terminal of the first AND gate unit 23 and an output terminal of the second AND gate unit 24, and is configured to perform an AND operation on an output signal of the first AND gate unit 23 and an output signal of the second AND gate unit 24.


The third NOT gate unit 26 is connected to an output terminal of the OR gate unit 25 to invert a phase of an output signal of the OR gate unit 25.


If the amplification sub-circuit 10 outputs a high level signal, the first NOT gate unit 21 outputs a low level signal, the second NOT gate unit 22 outputs a high level signal, the first AND gate unit 23 performs an AND operation on the low level signal output by the first NOT gate unit 21 and the high level signal output by the second NOT gate unit 22 to output a low level signal, and the second AND gate unit 24 performs an AND operation on the high level signal output by the amplification sub-circuit 10 and a low level signal of the ground terminal GND to output a low level signal, the OR gate unit 25 performs an OR operation on the low level signal output from the first AND gate unit 23 and the low level signal output from the second AND gate unit 24 to output a low level signal, and the third NOT gate unit 26 inverts a phase of the low level signal output from the OR gate unit 25 to output a high level signal.


If the amplification sub-circuit 10 outputs a low level signal, the first NOT gate unit 21 outputs a high level signal, the second NOT gate unit 22 outputs a high level signal, the first AND gate unit 23 performs an AND operation on the high level signal output by the first NOT gate unit 21 and the high level signal output by the second NOT gate unit 22 to output a high level signal, the second AND gate unit 24 performs an AND operation on the low level signal output by the amplification sub-circuit 10 and the low level signal of the ground terminal GND to output a low level signal, the OR gate unit 25 performs an OR operation on the high level signal output by the first AND gate unit 23 and the low level signal output by the second AND gate unit 24 to output a high level signal, and the third NOT gate unit 26 inverts a phase of the high level signal output from the OR gate unit 25 to output a low level signal.


In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 5, the first NOT gate unit 21 includes a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5 and a first triode Q1, the fourth resistor R4 is connected between the power supply terminal VDD and a collector of the first triode Q1, the fifth resistor R5 is connected between the output terminal of the amplification sub-circuit 10 and a base electrode of the first triode Q1, an emitter of the first triode Q1 is connected to the ground terminal GND, and a connection node between the fourth resistor R4 and the collector of the first triode Q1 serves as the output terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21.


The fourth resistor R4 is a gate resistor of the first triode Q1, and a voltage may be provided to the output terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 through the fourth resistor R4. When the first triode Q1 is turned on in a saturated state, a relatively large voltage drops across the fourth resistor R4, so that a potential of the collector of the first triode Q1 is almost equal to a potential of the emitter of the first triode Q1; when the first triode Q1 is turned off, a voltage of the power supply terminal VDD is applied to the collector of the first triode Q1 through the fourth resistor R4, so that the voltage of the collector of the first triode Q1 is equal to the voltage of the power supply terminal VDD. The fifth resistor R5 is an input resistor of the first triode Q1, and a forward bias current may be applied to the first triode Q1 through the fifth resistor R5.


If an input terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 (i.e., the output terminal of the amplification sub-circuit 10) receives a low level signal, since the base electrode of the first triode Q1 cannot receive a forward bias current and therefore the first triode Q1 is turned off, so that no collector current passes through the first triode Q1, and no voltage drops across the fourth resistor R4, and the output terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 outputs a voltage signal of the power supply terminal VDD, i.e., a high level signal.


If the input terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 (i.e., the output terminal of the amplification sub-circuit 10) receives a high level signal, the high level signal is applied to the base electrode of the first triode Q1 through the fifth resistor R5 to provide a forward bias current to the base electrode, so that the first triode Q1 is turned on in a saturated state, and in this case, a relatively large voltage drops across the fourth resistor R4, so that a voltage at the output terminal of the first NOT gate unit 21 reaches a low level.


As shown in FIG. 5, the second NOT gate unit 22 includes a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7 and a second triode Q2, the sixth resistor R6 is connected between a collector of the second triode Q2 and the power supply terminal VDD, the seventh resistor R7 is connected between the output terminal of the amplification sub-circuit 10 and a base electrode of the second triode Q2, and an emitter of the second triode Q2 is connected with the ground terminal GND. A connection node between the sixth resistor R6 and the collector of the second triode Q2 serves as the output terminal of the second NOT gate unit 22.


An operation principle of the second NOT gate unit 22 is the same as that of the first NOT gate unit 21, and is not described herein.

Since the standby control signal is generated by amplifying, performing an XOR operation on, and scaling (i.e., performing the proportional adjustment on) the video signal, the active state of the standby control signal is also a state in which the standby control signal is at a high level, and the inactive state is a state in which the standby control signal is at a low state.


In some implementations, the display driver integrated chip 200 being configured to control the display panel to enter the standby stage may specifically include: the display driver integrated chip 200 being configured to control the display panel to display a plurality of frames of a preset discharge picture.

Moreover, the system board 1 outputs a backlight control signal in an active state to control the backlight source to emit light. The display driver integrated chip 2 driving the display panel to display according to the video signal means that the display driver integrated chip 2 writes a corresponding data voltage into each pixel of the display panel 3 according to the video signal, so that liquid crystal molecules in each pixel are deflected to adjust brightness of light transmitted through the pixel.


At a time t3, the system board 1 outputs a backlight control signal in an inactive state in response to a power-off instruction, thereby controlling the backlight source to stop emitting light.


At a time t4, the system board 1 stops outputting the video signal.


In addition, the standby control signal generation circuit generates the standby control signal based on the video signal, since any electronic device itself has a certain delay effect on a signal, there is a certain time difference between a rising edge of the standby control signal and a rising edge of the video signal, as well as between a falling edge of the standby control signal and a falling edge of the video signal, as shown at t11 and t12 in FIG. 8.
