The invention discloses a
silicon-based display adopting digital-analog
hybrid drive. Pixels are driven to emit light through the method of combining the
simulation amplitude modulation drive strategy and a digital
pulse width modulation drive strategy, wherein the luminance of the pixels is determined by output current or
voltage amplitude of the pixels in the
subframe and the duty ratio of time of the output current or
voltage of the pixels in the
subframe, the frame of image is divided into a plurality of different digital subframes and
simulation subframes, the digital drive strategy is adopted for the digital subframes, the time proportionable drive mode or luminance proportionable drive mode is adopted, the
simulation drive strategy is adopted for the simulation subframes, many digital-analog
converters with few digits are adopted, input data is converted into amplitude quantity of
voltage or current, so that the pixels emit light, and the simulation subframes and the digital subframes are combined to generate the final display frame. The requirements of the simulation
amplitude modulation drive strategy for the digital-analog converter and the requirements of the pixel circuit for the precision of analog quantity are reduced, and the conversion speed of the digital-analog converter and the contrast of the pixel luminance are improved.
