[0030] As Figure 1 shown, in the related art, the ambient photoreceptor is located beside the camera in the screen.

[0031] The relationship between the magnitude of the photocurrent generated by the PN junction of the ambient photoreceptor under different illuminances and the PN junction voltage can be summarized as expression (1):

[0032] I = V·S·L·K·T·EXP(hλe) (1)

[0034] Therefore, it can be considered to determine the magnitude of the photocurrent generated by detecting the voltage of the ambient photoreceptor, so as to inversely deduce the light intensity received by the ambient photoreceptor.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] This embodiment provides a circuit 1, as Figure 2 shown, the circuit 1 may include: a first single-stage amplification module 10, which includes a first power supply terminal V dd1 , a control terminal Input and a first node N1, and is used to according to the first power supply terminal V dd1The voltage signal of the control terminal Input controls the output current of the first node N1; the first load module 20 is used to shunt the output current with the current branch 2 to be detected, so as to control the voltage of the first node N1 according to the current obtained by the first load module 20; the voltage division detection module 30 is used to determine the current value of the current branch 2 to be detected in the second state according to the voltage of the first node N1 when the current branch 2 to be detected is in the first state and the second state respectively, wherein there is no current in the current branch 2 to be detected in the first state, and there is current in the current branch 2 to be detected in the second state.

[0037] As Figure 3 shown, when voltage signals V of different magnitudes are input to the control terminal Input of the single-stage amplification module 10 in , the voltage V of the first node N1 will also change accordingly.

[0038] Through the above circuit, the detection of the current of the current branch to be detected can be converted into the detection of its voltage, and the magnitude of the current in the current branch to be detected can be deduced by detecting the voltage change of the first node N1 when there is or is no current in the current branch to be detected, so as to eliminate the influence of the threshold voltage of the single-stage amplification component on the current detection result and make the current detection result more accurate.

[0039] In one example, the first single-stage amplification module 10 may include: a first transistor M1, the gate of the first transistor M1 is connected to the control terminal Input of the first single-stage amplification module, the source of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first power supply terminal V dd1 , and the drain of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first node N1.

[0040] Of course, the single-stage amplification module 10 may also adopt other more complex circuit designs. For example, the above control logic may be implemented by connecting multiple transistors.

[0041] In one example, the first load module 20 may include: a second transistor M2, the gate and drain of the second transistor M2 are connected to the second power supply terminal, and the source of the second transistor M2 is connected to the first node N1.

[0042] Of course, the first load module 20 may also be implemented by other devices. For example, a variable resistor may be used, as long as it can convert the current of the first node N1 into a voltage output.

[0043] In one example, the voltage division detection module 30 may include: a voltage reset unit 301 for resetting the voltages of the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fifth node N5 according to a reset pulse signal; a writing unit 302 for setting the voltage of the fifth node N5 according to the voltage of the first node N1 in a first state and writing the voltage of the first node N1 into the second node N2 in a second state; a second single-stage amplification unit 303 for controlling the current from the second node N2 to the third node N3 according to the voltage of the fifth node N5 in the first state and the voltage of the second node N2 in the second state; and a second load unit 304 for controlling the current from the second node N2 to the third node N3 to be the voltage of the third node N3.

[0044] In one example, the voltage reset unit 301 may include: a third transistor M3, the gate of the third transistor M3 is connected to the control terminal Reset of the voltage reset unit, the drain of the third transistor M3 is connected to the third power supply terminal Vinit, and the source of the third transistor M3 is connected to the fourth node N4.

[0045] In one example, the writing unit 302 may include: a fourth transistor M4, a fifth transistor M5, and a sixth transistor M6. The gates of the fourth transistor M4, the fifth transistor M5, and the sixth transistor M6 are all connected to the control terminal of the writing unit. The source of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the first node, the drain of the fourth transistor M4 is connected to the second node, the source of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the fourth node, the drain of the fifth transistor M5 is connected to the third node, the source of the sixth transistor M6 is connected to the fourth node, and the drain of the sixth transistor M6 is connected to the fifth node.

[0046] In another example, only one of the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 may be retained, and those skilled in the art can set it according to needs.

[0047] In one example, the second single-stage amplification unit 303 may include: a seventh transistor M7, the gate of the seventh transistor M7 is connected to the control terminal of the second single-stage amplification unit, the source of the seventh transistor M7 is connected to the second node N2, and the drain of the seventh transistor M7 is connected to the third node N3.

[0048] In one example, the second load unit 304 may include: an eighth transistor M8, the gate and the drain of the eighth transistor M8 are connected to the fourth power supply terminal, and the source of the eighth transistor M8 is connected to the third node N3.

[0049] In one example, the voltage division detection module 30 may further include: an output control unit 305 for controlling the connection and disconnection between the third node N3 and the output terminal Out of the voltage division detection module 30.

[0050] In one example, the output control unit 305 may include: a ninth transistor M9, the gate of the ninth transistor M9 is connected to the control terminal of the output control unit, the drain of the ninth transistor M9 is connected to the third node N3, and the source of the ninth transistor M9 is connected to the output terminal Out of the voltage division detection module 30.

[0051] In one example, the voltage division detection module may further include: a compensation capacitor C, a first end of the compensation capacitor C is connected to the fifth power supply terminal V dd2 , and a second end of the compensation capacitor C is connected to the fifth node N5.

[0052] By using the above voltage division detection module, when outputting the voltage, the influence of the threshold voltages of the first single-stage amplification module 10 and the second single-stage amplification unit 303 on the output voltage can be eliminated, so as to accurately detect the current generated by the current branch to be detected.

[0053] In other examples, the voltage division detection module may also be implemented by other feasible circuit connection methods, as long as the current of the current branch to be detected can be accurately determined according to the voltage change of the first node N1, and as long as the above functions of the present disclosure can be implemented, they are all within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0054] When detecting the current, the threshold voltage of the large-size transistor will affect the accuracy of the current detection result. By using the circuit design of this embodiment, the threshold voltage of the large-size transistor can be compensated, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the current detection result in the current branch to be detected.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] This embodiment provides a drive control method, which is implemented based on the circuit described above. The drive control method may include the following steps:

[0057] S100: In the first stage of each detection cycle, provide a first voltage signal to the control terminal of the first single-stage amplification module to make the current branch to be detected in the first state.

[0058] S200: In the second stage after the first stage of the detection cycle, provide a second voltage signal to the control terminal of the first single-stage amplification module to make the current branch to be detected in the second state.

[0059] Through the above method, the current in the current branch to be detected when it is in the second state can be determined according to the voltage change of the first node N1 when the current branch to be detected is in the first state and the second state.

[0060] In one example, when the voltage division detection module includes at least a voltage reset unit, a writing unit, a second single-pole amplification unit, and a second load unit, the method may further include: resetting the second node, the third node, and the fifth node according to a reset pulse signal; setting the voltage of the fifth node according to the voltage of the first node in a first stage of each detection period; and writing the voltage of the first node into the second node in a second stage after the first stage of the detection period.

[0061] Embodiment III

[0062] This embodiment provides an ambient light photoreceptor, as Figure 2 shown, the ambient light photoreceptor may include: a photoelectric acquisition module 2, which is configured to generate a photocurrent according to ambient light; and the circuit 1 as described above, wherein the photoelectric acquisition module 2 serves as a current branch to be detected.

[0063] In one example, the photoelectric acquisition module 2 may include: a photosensitive diode, wherein the positive electrode of the photosensitive diode is connected to a fifth power supply terminal, and the negative electrode of the photosensitive diode is connected to a first node N1. As Figure 4 shown, the positive electrode of the photosensitive diode may be grounded.

[0064] Embodiment IV

[0065] This embodiment provides a specific embodiment of a circuit. In this embodiment, the ambient light photoreceptor is regarded as a current source whose current changes with the voltages on both sides, that is, the ambient light photoreceptor is simplified to a voltage-controlled current source.

[0066] As Figure 2 shown, the entire circuit may be designed as a polysilicon substrate and a gate oxide layer thereon, wherein both M1 and M3 are large-size TFTs (Thin Film Transistors), and by controlling the range of the voltage V dd1 of the first power supply terminal and the voltage V in of the Input, M1 can be made to operate in the saturation region (V dd1 + V th1 > V in ).

[0067] The magnitude I ds1 of the current flowing through M1 satisfies the expression (2):

[0068] I ds1 = K M1 (V gs1 - V th1 ) 2 = K M1 (V in - V dd1 - V th1 )2 (2)

[0069] Among them, K M1 is only related to the size parameters of the M1 TFT. The size parameters of the M1 TFT are as follows: V ds1 = -20V, Ron1 = 34mV, gate Q1 = 13nC, V th1 = -8V, Width1 = 17.5um, length1 = 0.5um, λ1 = 0.0001.

[0070] The current flows through M2 (whose gate and drain are connected, equivalent to a large resistor), making the voltage of the first node N1 become a large voltage, thereby realizing the modulation of the voltage of the ambient photoreceptor.

[0071] The magnitude of the current flowing through M2, I ds2 satisfies the expression (3):

[0072] I ds2 = K M2 (V N1 + V th2 ) 2 (3)

[0073] Among them, K M2 is only related to the size parameters of the M2 TFT. The size parameters of the M2 TFT are as follows: V ds2 = -40V, Ron2 = 27mV, gate Q2 = 19nC, V th2 = -8V, Width2 = 17.5um, length2 = 0.5um, λ2 = 0.005.

[0074] As Figure 3 shown, in order to eliminate the dark-state background current of the ambient photoreceptor, the working area of the ambient photoreceptor is divided into a Base area and a collection area. The magnitude of V in can be adjusted so that when V in is a low voltage, the voltage at point N1 is a low voltage. At this time, there is no current in the ambient photoreceptor, and the voltage at point N1 at this time is set as the Base voltage.

[0075] Base stage: Without ambient light irradiation, the ambient photoreceptor does not work, and the variable current source current is 0. Thus, I ds2 = I ds1 , and the voltage relationship of the first node N1 satisfies the expression (4):

[0076]

[0077] Collection stage: With ambient light irradiation, the ambient photoreceptor starts to work, continuously adjusting V in, the variable current source current changes to I x , thus, I ds2 ’ = I ds1 ’ - I x , the current flowing through M2 is:

[0078] I ds2 ’ = K M1 (V in ’ - V dd1 ’ - V th1 ) 2 - I x = K M2 (V N1 ’ + V th2 ) 2 (5)

[0079] The voltage relationship of the first node N1 satisfies the expression (6):

[0080]

[0081] Thus, the detected current signal I x is converted into the detected voltage signals V N1 and V N1 ’, and the voltage signals V N1 and V N1 ’ are carrier voltages, that is, they contain V in , V in ’, V dd1 and / or V dd1 ’, and thus will not be submerged in the noise.

[0082] Figure 3 According to Figure 2 the simulation results of the circuit shown, it can be seen that in the Base region, according to the input voltage V in , the voltage at point N1 is 0. In the acquisition region, according to a voltage V in different from V in ’, the voltage at point N1 also changes with different amplitudes accordingly. In the actual implementation process, the photocurrent of the environmental photoreceptor in the Base region is also very small, about on the order of 10 -8 , while the current in the acquisition region is on the order of 10 -4 , and the difference between the two is very large. Therefore, the current in the Base region can be almost ignored relative to the current in the acquisition region.

[0083] Analyzing the expression (6), it can be seen that V N1 ’ in the acquisition region contains V th1 , and V th1 itself is affected by temperature and the charge distribution in the depletion layer. Therefore, self-compensation needs to be carried out in the circuit to eliminate Vth1 Effect on the acquired signal

[0084] As Figure 5 shown in the timing diagram, the drive control of the Figure 2 circuit includes the following three processes.

[0085] Process 1: Reset is set to low level, G1 and G2 are set to high level, M3, M5, M6, and M7 are turned on, and the voltages at points N2, N3, N4, and N5 are reset. For example, they can be reset to -7V (Vinit is -7V).

[0086] Process 2: Reset and G2 are set to high level, G1 is set to low level, and the voltage at point N1 charges the capacitor C until the charging voltage of the capacitor C is V N1 +V th7 .

[0087] Process 3: Reset is set to high level, G2 and G1 are set to low level, M6 is turned off, and the voltage at point N1 is the acquired voltage. At this time, the expression (7) of the current between point N2 and point N3 is as follows:

[0088] I ds7 =K M7 (V gs7 -V th7 ) 2 (7)

[0089] where V g7 =V N1 +V th7 , V s7 =V N1 ’.

[0090] Furthermore, the following expression (8) can be obtained:

[0091] I ds7 =K M7 (V out1 ) 2 (8)

[0092] where V out1 =V N1 ’-V N1 .

[0093] In Figure 2 , the function of M8 is that of a variable resistor, and thus the following expression (9) of the output voltage is obtained:

[0094]

[0095] In expression (9), the value of V th8 is relatively small, for V outThe influence is small and can be almost ignored. By means of expression (9), the influence of the threshold voltages of M1 and M7 on the detection result is eliminated, making the photocurrent of the photodiode deduced from V out more accurate.

[0096] As Figure 6 shown, it is the simulation result of the circuit of this embodiment.

[0097] In this embodiment, the size parameters of M7 and M1 TFTs are the same, and the size parameters of M8 and M2 TFTs are the same. The size parameters of M3 and M9 as P-type Switch TFTs are as follows: Vds = -20V, Ron = 4mΩ, gate Q = 70nC, Vth = -0.67V, Width = 3um, length = 7um, λ = 0.0192. The size parameters of M4 and M7 as N-type Switch TFTs are as follows: V ds = -20V, Ron = 12mΩ, gate Q = 18nC, Vth = 1V, Width = 3um, length = 7um, λ = 0.005.

[0098] In this embodiment, the voltage signal under no ambient light irradiation is subtracted before each collection of the photocurrent signal. Similar to a current mirror with an amplification function, the photocurrent signal collected at point N1 is primarily amplified and converted into a voltage signal, the signal at point N3 is secondarily amplified and converted into a current signal, and then converted into a voltage signal through M8 for output. The voltage signal is more convenient to collect and has small fluctuations.
