Abstract

The invention relates to an amorphous silicon-based comparator and a liquid crystal display (LCD). The comparator comprises a detection unit, a comparison unit and an amplifying unit, wherein the detection unit is used to compare an input comparison voltage with a reference voltage and output the difference value of the comparison voltage and the reference voltage; the comparison unit is used to generate a medium voltage, superpose the difference value output by the detection unit on the medium voltage and output a control voltage; and the amplifying unit contains a sixth n-type field effect transistor based on amorphous silicon and an amplifying circuit; the sixth n-type field effect transistor is connected or disconnected under the control of the control voltage; and when the amplifyingcircuit connects or disconnects the sixth n-type field effect transistor, the transmitted voltage is amplified and output as the comparison result. The comparator provided by the invention adopts thetechnical means of setting the medium voltage, thus the sixth n-type field effect transistor can perform rapid response to a slight difference and the comparator has the advantages of simple technology and rapid response.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuit technology, in particular to a comparator and liquid crystal display based on amorphous silicon. Background technique [0002] With the maturity of Thin Film Transistor (TFT-LCD) technology, high integration has become a development direction of the TFT-LCD industry, from gate drivers to source drivers, as well as some control and detection modules All are gradually integrated in the TFT array substrate. As a common module, comparators are widely used in circuits such as analog-to-digital conversion and signal detection, and are widely used in array substrates. [0003] Existing comparators usually need to include field effect transistors, which are divided into n-type field effect transistors and p-type field effect transistors, which can be made of polysilicon or amorphous silicon. Low Temperature Poly-silicon (LTPS) in polysilicon has high carrier mobility, but its manufacturing process is...
