[0071] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are used to indicate the same or similar elements, unless otherwise represented. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0072] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pixel module, a photosensitive module and a camera. The camera can include a photosensitive module and a processor; the processor is electrically connected with the photosensitive module; the photosensitive module is configured to output at least one detection event, the detection event including a positive event and / or at least one negative event; the processor is configured to acquire the detection event output by the photosensitive module, which can include a positive event and a negative event. The positive event represents that the brightness of the current detection period is enhanced compared with the brightness of the previous detection period, and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold; the negative event represents that the brightness of the current detection period is weakened compared with the brightness of the previous detection period, and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold.

In an example, when there is a background image, the processor can superimpose the background image and the event frame image to generate a fusion image, the event image including a red region and / or a blue region, facilitating the user to focus on the change region. In another example, when there is no background image, the processor can display at least one frame of event frame image, facilitating the observation of the detected dynamic object.

[0073] The camera in the embodiment can be applied to the fields of industry, unmanned aerial vehicle, robot, security monitoring, medical treatment, scientific research measurement and game, and can also be applied to the fields of eye movement tracking and gesture recognition. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can adjust the video frame image according to the application scene and the application principle of the event frame image, for example, at least one frame of event frame image can be superimposed on the basis of the background image in the game scene to form a fusion image including the motion track of the game object, so as to improve the visual effect. It can be understood that the corresponding scheme falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0074] In the embodiment, the photoelectric sensing module includes a glass substrate and a plurality of pixel modules arranged on the glass substrate, and the inventive concept is that all or part of the devices in the pixel module can be built by using a TFT circuit, so that the power consumption of the pixel module can be reduced. The TFT material can be realized by using a-si, LTPS, LTPO and the like.

[0075] Since the photoelectric sensing module includes a plurality of pixel modules, the working principles of the pixel modules are the same, and a subsequent embodiment is described with reference to one pixel module.

[0076] Referring to Figure 1 A pixel module includes a collection circuit 11, a detection circuit 12 and a comparison circuit 13. The input end of the detection circuit 12 is electrically connected to the output end of the collection circuit 11, the first output end 124 of the detection circuit 12 is electrically connected to the first input end 132 of the comparison circuit 13, and the second output end 125 of the detection circuit 12 is electrically connected to the second input end 134 of the comparison circuit 13.

[0077] The collection circuit 11 is configured to convert the light signal sensed in each detection period into a sampling voltage and transmit the sampling voltage to the input end of the detection circuit 12 through the output end of the collection circuit 11.

[0078] The detection circuit 12 is configured to process the sampling circuits of two adjacent detection periods respectively to obtain a first sensing voltage of a previous detection period and a second sensing voltage of a current detection period in the two adjacent detection periods, and transmit the first sensing voltage from the first output end 124 of the detection circuit 12 to the first input end 132 of the comparison circuit 13 and transmit the second sensing voltage from the second output end 125 of the detection circuit 12 to the second input end 134 of the comparison circuit 13.

[0079] The comparison circuit 13 is configured to generate a detection event after comparing the first sensing voltage and the second sensing voltage.

[0080] In the embodiment, the detection event includes a positive event and a negative event. The positive event represents that the luminance of the current detection period is enhanced compared with the luminance of the previous detection period, and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold. The negative event represents that the luminance of the current detection period is weakened compared with the luminance of the previous detection period, and the difference between the two is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold.

[0081] It can be understood that the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold can be set according to specific scenes, for example, 0.1-10 nit. In the case that the luminance of the region where the pixel module is located can be distinguished, the corresponding scheme falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0082] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The acquisition circuit 11 includes a light sensing unit 111, a reset unit 112, a first amplification unit 113, a switch unit 114, and an integration unit 115. The reset unit 112 is electrically connected to the light sensing unit 111 and the first amplification unit 113 respectively. The switch unit 114 is electrically connected to the first amplification unit 113 and the integration unit 115 respectively.

[0083] The light sensing unit 111 is configured to convert the light signal sensed in each detection period to a photoelectric current. The reset unit 112 is configured to perform a reset process on the first amplification unit 113 before the first amplification unit 113 amplifies the photoelectric current in each detection period. The first amplification unit 113 is configured to amplify the photoelectric current during the period when it is not reset in each detection period to obtain an amplified photoelectric current. The switch unit 114 is configured to turn on or turn off the electrical connection between the first amplification unit 113 and the integration unit 115. The integration unit 115 is configured to integrate the amplified photoelectric current when the switch unit 114 is in the on state to obtain a sampling voltage.

[0084] In the embodiment, the integration unit 115 integrates the amplified photoelectric current to obtain an integrated electric quantity. It is considered that the equivalent capacitance of the integration unit 115 is known, and it is difficult to measure the electric quantity. In the embodiment, the sampling voltage can be obtained by detecting the voltage value to represent the integrated electric quantity. It can be understood that the relationship between the electric quantity, the capacitance value and the voltage value is Q=CV. In the case that the equivalent capacitance value is constant, the sampling voltage and the integrated electric quantity can represent each other without affecting the accuracy of the present disclosure.

[0085] In an example, referring to Figure 3The photosensitive unit 111 can be disposed on a glass substrate and can be implemented using methods such as PIN photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), Schottky photodiodes (SBDs), phototransistors, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), silicon photodiodes, germanium photodiodes, gallium arsenide (GaAs) photodiodes, or organic photodiodes (OPDs). Such implementations fall within the scope of this disclosure. In one example, the photosensitive unit 111 is implemented using a photodiode D1.

[0086] In one example, see [link to example]. Figure 3 The reset unit 112 includes a first switching device S1, which can be made of a TFT transistor. The first terminal of the first switching device S1 ( Figure 3 The upper end shown is electrically connected to the output terminal of the photosensitive unit 111 and the control terminal of the first amplification unit 113, respectively, and the second end of the first switching device S1 ( Figure 3 The lower end shown is grounded to GND, and the control terminal of the first switching device S1 (as shown) Figure 3 The left end shown is used to receive the first control signal Trst; the first switching device S1 is used to switch to the on state when the first control signal Trst is received, so as to ground the control terminal of the first amplification unit 113 and the output terminal of the photosensitive unit to GND, that is, to reset the first amplification unit 113; and to switch to the off state when the first control signal Trst is not received, so that the control terminal of the first amplification unit 113 is not grounded to GND, that is, the first amplification unit 113 is not reset, and at this time the output terminal of the photosensitive unit is electrically connected to the control terminal of the first amplification unit 113. In this way, resetting the first amplification unit 113 in this example can release the charge stored in the parasitic capacitance and other components in the first amplification unit 113, thereby achieving the effect of accurately amplifying the optical power source.

[0087] In one example, see [link to example]. Figure 3 The first amplification unit 113 includes a second switching device S2; the first terminal of the second switching device S2 is electrically connected to the first power supply AP, the second terminal of the second switching device S2 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the switching unit 114, and the control terminal of the second switching device S2 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the first amplification unit 113. The second switching device is used to amplify the received photocurrent to obtain an amplified photocurrent; and transmit the amplified photocurrent to the output terminal of the first amplification unit 113, i.e., to the first terminal of the switching unit 114. Thus, in this example, the first amplification unit 113 can amplify the weak photocurrent to obtain an amplified photocurrent, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0088] In one example, see [link to example]. Figure 3 The switching unit 114 includes a third switching device S3; the first terminal of the third switching device S3 is connected to the input terminal of the switching unit 114.Figure 3 The left end shown in the diagram is electrically connected, and the second end of the third switching device S3 is connected to the output end of the switching unit 114. Figure 3 The left end (shown in the diagram) is electrically connected, and the control terminal of the third switching device S3 is used to receive the second control signal Gate. The third switching device Gate is used to connect the output terminal of the first amplification unit 113 and the input terminal of the integration unit 115 after receiving the second control signal Gate. Thus, in this example, the third switching device S3 can transmit the amplified photocurrent to the integration unit 115 upon receiving the second control signal Gate, achieving the effect of storing charge. Furthermore, in this example, the second control signal Gate is the scan signal of the row or column where the pixel module is located, achieving the purpose of detecting the light signal according to the control cycle.

[0089] In one example, see [link to example]. Figure 3 The integrating unit 115 includes a first capacitor C1. The first terminal of the first capacitor C1 ( Figure 3 The upper end shown is electrically connected to the output terminal of the switching unit 114 and the input terminal of the acquisition circuit 11, respectively. The second end of the second capacitor C2 ( Figure 3 The lower end (as shown in the diagram) is grounded to GND. In this example, the first capacitor C1 can store the amplified photocurrent, achieving the effect of converting the amplified photocurrent into a sampling voltage (Vin*C1).

[0090] In one embodiment, see Figure 4The detection circuit 12 includes a writing unit 121, a second amplification unit 122, and a storage unit 123. The input terminal of the writing unit 121 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the detection circuit 12. The first output terminal of the writing unit 121 is electrically connected to the input terminal 122a of the second amplification unit 122. The second output terminal 1212 of the writing unit 121 is electrically connected to the output terminal 122b of the second amplification unit 122 and the input terminal 1231 of the storage unit 123, respectively. The first output terminal 1232 of the storage unit 123 is electrically connected to the first output terminal 124 of the detection circuit 12, and the second output terminal 1233 of the storage unit 123 is electrically connected to the second output terminal 125 of the detection circuit 12. The writing unit 121 is used to write the sampled voltage and... The sampled voltage of each detection cycle is transmitted to the second amplification unit 122. The second amplification unit 122 amplifies the sampled voltage of each detection cycle and writes the amplified sensing voltage into the storage unit 123. The storage unit 123 stores the amplified sensing voltage as a first sensing voltage in the previous detection cycle and stores the amplified sensing voltage as a second sensing voltage in the current detection cycle; or, the storage unit 123 stores the amplified sensing voltage as a second sensing voltage in the current detection cycle and stores the amplified sensing voltage as a first sensing voltage for the next detection cycle.

[0111] In the case of the above examples, the present disclosure provides a pixel module as Figure 9 shown in the examples. Each switching device in the pixel module is realized by an NMOS TFT. In combination with the working timing shown in ​ , the working process of the pixel module includes:

[0112] (1) Current-voltage conversion stage

[0113] The first control signal Trst becomes high level, at this time, the first switching device S1 is switched to the conducting state, and the control end of the third switching device S3 is reset. At this time, the charges on the circuit of the pixel module are cleared.

[0114] The first control signal Trst changes from high level to low level and the second control signal Gate becomes high level, at this time, the third switching device S3 is switched to the conducting state, and the current path is formed between the photodiode D1 and the first capacitor, and the first capacitor C1 stores the charges, at this time, the voltage of the first capacitor C1 is Vin*C1.

[0115] (2) Previous time detection stage

[0116] The first clock signal CLK1 and the third clock signal CLK3 have the same timing, when CLK1 and CLK3 are both high, the capacitor C1, the fourth switch device S3, the capacitor C2 and the sixth switch device S6 form a charge path, at this time the charge in the first capacitor C1 is transferred to the second capacitor C2, and the voltage of the second capacitor C2 is Vin*C1 / C2.

[0117] When CLK1 and CLK3 change from high to low, and the second clock signal CLK2 changes to high, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are connected in series, that is, the charge of the second capacitor C2 is transferred to the third capacitor C3, and the amplification factor is C3 / C2. When C2 / C3=1, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 form a follower amplifier.

[0118] During the period when the second clock signal CLK2 is high, the fifth clock signal CLK5 changes to high, at this time the sixteenth switch device S16 is switched to the on state, and the amplified voltage can be written to the sixth capacitor C6. The voltage value of the sixth capacitor C6 is used as the first sensing voltage.

[0119] (3) Current cycle detection stage

[0120] The (1) current-voltage conversion stage and the (2) previous moment detection stage before CLK5 changes to high in the current cycle are executed.

[0121] When the second clock signal CLK2 changes to high, the fourth clock signal CLK4 changes to high at the same time, at this time the fifteenth switch device is switched to the on state, and the amplified voltage can be written to the fifth capacitor C5. The voltage value of the fifth capacitor C5 is used as the second sensing voltage.

[0122] After the fourth clock signal CLK changes from the on state to the off state, the fifth clock signal can be switched to the on state, at this time the sixteenth switch device S16 is switched to the on state, and the amplified voltage can be written to the sixth capacitor C6. The voltage value of the sixth capacitor C6 is used as the first sensing voltage of the next detection cycle. Or, the current detection cycle is the previous detection cycle of the next detection cycle, and the sensing voltage of the current detection cycle is used as the first sensing voltage of the next detection cycle; that is, in one detection cycle, the second sensing voltage of the current detection cycle and the first sensing voltage of the next detection cycle are collected.

[0123] The camera provided in the embodiment comprises the photoelectric sensing module and the processor. The photoelectric sensing module can be implemented on a glass substrate, for example, a pixel module is built on the glass substrate by using a TFT device. The number of the pixel module can be adjusted to design photoelectric sensors of different sizes according to the function of the camera. Then, a TFT circuit is generated on the glass substrate by using a manufacturing process, which can improve the reliability of the camera. Moreover, each pixel of the camera works independently, and no event is generated in a static state. Only when the brightness changes, event information is output. The processor acquires detection events output by the photoelectric sensing module, maps the first pixel data when a positive event is acquired and / or maps the second pixel data when a negative event is acquired, and then generates an event frame image of a current detection period according to the first pixel data and / or the second pixel data. Finally, a fusion image is generated according to the event frame image and a background image, or a video is generated. In the embodiment, the camera has a small amount of calculation, which can effectively reduce the data transmission throughput and the computing power, and improve the rate. Moreover, all events are asynchronous, and have a sparse feature in space, which can reduce power consumption. In addition, the traditional image sensor is affected by the light intensity in the scene, and has a blur degree and a low dynamic range. However, the camera can improve the blur degree and the dynamic range.
