Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of LED backlight, and in particular to an LED driving system and a driving method. Background Art
[0002] With the development of display technology, Mini-LED displays, OLED displays and Micro-LED displays have gradually become the three main directions of display technology development based on traditional LCD displays. However, OLED display technology is limited by material properties, and the pixel ablation problem is still difficult to solve. Micro-LED technology still needs to rely on solving the efficiency of mass transfer technology to enable it to be applied to large-size displays at a lower cost. Therefore, as far as the current situation is concerned, LCD displays using direct-type Mini-LED backlight panels are the best display solutions. The so-called direct-type Mini-LED backlight panel refers to a high-density LED array composed of more delicate Mini LED lamp beads (the size is reduced to less than 100 microns), and the entire backlight panel can be divided into multiple backlight partitions, and the number of each backlight partition can be increased from tens of traditional LEDs to hundreds or even thousands. Therefore, how to drive and control a large number of Mini LED lamp beads so that their luminous brightness can better match the display of the liquid crystal panel has become the core issue in the application of Mini-LED backlight panels.
[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, in the single-wire bus LED driving system in the prior art, the LED driving chip has only one input port Din and one output port Dout. The chips are connected in series through the Din / Dout ports, that is, the output port Dout of the previous chip is connected to the input port Din of the next chip. The host computer HOST inputs a signal to the input port Din of the first chip, and then transmits data to the subsequent chips one by one in a serial manner.
[0004] In the above communication link, the driving status information generated by each LED driver chip, such as error information (FAULT), such as LED driver pin open circuit (LED pin Open), LED driver pin short circuit (LED pin Short), LED driver pin overvoltage / undervoltage, etc., will be transmitted to the host computer Host through the serial communication link, and the host computer will perform system processing on the corresponding LED driver chip according to the received error information. For example, whenever the LED pin is short, the corresponding chip will be turned off, and when the LED pin is undervoltage, the DCDC output will be controlled to increase the voltage, etc.
[0005] However, when there are too many LED driver chips connected in series in the LED driver system, or the communication frequency of the host computer HOST is too slow, the driver status information cannot be responded to and processed in time.
[0006] It can be seen that a new LED driving system and driving method are needed in the prior art to enable the host computer to respond promptly to the abnormal state of the LED driving chip. Summary of the invention

[0015] In one embodiment, the last chip identification signal is identification information for the LED driver chip to determine whether it is the last driver chip based on the frame header count information included in the data frame and the total number of LED driver chips in the serial communication link.
[0016] In one embodiment, when the status information representation signal is at a high level, it indicates that the data frame contains driving status information indicating that the LED driver chip is in an abnormal state. When the status information representation signal is at a low level, it indicates that the data frame does not contain driving status information indicating that the LED driver chip is in an abnormal state.

[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figure 2The LED driving system of the present invention shown in the figure comprises: a controller HOST and a plurality of LED driving chips Chip1 to Chip4; the controller HOST and the plurality of LED driving chips Chip1 to Chip4 form a serial communication link, and the controller acts as a host to send instruction data to the plurality of LED driving chips Chip1 to Chip4 acting as slaves.
[0039] Each of the LED driving chips has a plurality of LED driving channel pins LED1 to LED4, and the LED driving channel pins are used to connect an LED light string to directly control the light emission of the LED light string.
[0040] Each LED driver chip is provided with a first data transmission port D1 and a second data transmission port D2. The serial communication link means that the first data transmission port D1 of each LED driver chip is connected to the second data transmission port D2 of the LED driver chip of the previous level adjacent to the LED driver chip, and the second data transmission port D2 of each LED driver chip is connected to the first data transmission port D1 of the LED driver chip of the next level adjacent to the LED driver chip, and the first LED driver chip in the serial communication link is connected to the transmission port TX / RX of the controller HOST.
[0041] In this example, the LED driving system adopts a two-way communication mode for data transmission, that is, when the LED driving chip is powered on, the first data transmission port D1 is set to a data receiving state, and the second data transmission port D2 is set to a data sending state. When the first data transmission port of the LED driving chip completes the reception of a data frame, it is converted to a data sending state, and when the second data transmission port D2 completes the transmission of a data frame, it is converted to a data receiving state.
[0042] In the present invention, the structure of the data frame is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the data frame includes a frame header bit (Start_Bits), a control command bit (Command), a register address bit (Reg_Addr), an echo data bit (Echo), a data packet length bit (Data_Len), and a backlight brightness data bit (DATA). The order of the control command bit (Command), the register address bit (Reg_Addr), the echo data bit (Echo), and the data packet length bit (Data_Len) can be switched at will.
[0043] The data frame header bit (Start_Bits) is used to identify the physical sequence position of the driver chip that currently receives the data frame on the serial communication link. The data format of the initial data frame header bit (Start_Bits) sent by the controller HOST is in the form of "Bit S+Bit 1". When each LED driver chip receives the data frame header bit, it will automatically add a data bit to the header bit, and the header bit will become "Bit S+Bit 0+Bit 1". The "Bit 0" represents that the physical sequence position of the driver chip Chip1 on the serial communication link is the first. Correspondingly, when the driver chip Chip1 identifies its own sequence position through the header bit, it collects the first brightness data packet in the subsequent backlight brightness data bit as the backlight brightness data that needs to be driven and displayed by itself.
[0044] Similarly, the frame header bit received by the first input end of the driver chip Chip2 is "Bit S+Bit 0+Bit 1", and the driver chip Chip2 adds a data bit to it, changing the frame header bit to "Bit S+Bit 0+Bit 0+Bit 1". The two "Bit 0"s represent that the physical sequence position of the driver chip Chip2 on the serial communication link is the second. Correspondingly, when the driver chip Chip2 identifies its own sequence position through the frame header bit, it collects the second brightness data packet in the subsequent backlight brightness data bit as the backlight brightness data that it needs to drive and display. And so on until all n driver chips correspondingly obtain the brightness data packet in the backlight brightness data bit as the backlight brightness data that it needs to drive and display.
[0045] The data in the brightness data packet is the voltage and current information for driving the LED light string when DC dimming is used, and is the pulse modulation frequency information for driving the LED switch, such as the PWM duty cycle, when PWM dimming is used.
[0046] At the same time, the data frame also includes information recording the number of LED driver chips in the entire serial communication link. For example, this information can be set in the control command bit.
[0047] In this embodiment, the data frame also transmits the driving status information written by each LED driver chip to the data frame, such as LED driver pin open (LED pin Open), LED driver pin short circuit (LED pin Short), LED driver pin overvoltage / undervoltage information, etc. The driving status information is written into the control command bit by the LED driver chip, that is, when the LED driver chip has an LED abnormal state included in the above driving status information, the corresponding driving status information is actively written to the data frame, and the driving status information already written by other previous LED driver chips in the data frame is overwritten. If the LED driver chip does not have an LED abnormal state included in the above driving status information, no driving status information is written to the data frame.
[0048] According to the above serial communication link, the second data transmission port D2 of the last LED driver chip in this embodiment is in an idle state. And because the data transmission is carried out in a two-way communication mode in this embodiment, that is, after the data frame is transmitted to the last LED driver chip, the driving state information contained in the data frame needs to be inverted and then transmitted to the controller HOST through the two-way communication mode. If there are a large number of LED driver chips in the serial communication link, or the data processing frequency of the controller HOST is low, or the controller HOST cannot provide enough time window to receive reverse transmission data due to the frequency requirement of data transmission, the driving state information in the data frame cannot be obtained by the controller in time and processed accordingly.
[0049] Therefore, in this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the LED driver chip is provided with a second data transmission port control module, and the second data transmission port control module includes a switch tube, namely an AND gate, and the gate control end of the switch tube is connected to the output end of the AND gate. One input end of the AND gate inputs a drive status information characterization signal, which is a high level signal if there is drive status information in the data frame, otherwise it is a low level signal. The other input end is a signal for identifying that the current LED driver chip is the last chip, which is a high level 1 if the current LED driver chip is the last chip, and a low level 0 if not. The source and drain of the switch tube, one of which is grounded, and the other is connected to the second data transmission port inside the LED driver chip. Therefore, when the LED driver chip is simultaneously satisfied with judging itself as the last LED driver chip, and there is drive status information in the data frame, the second data transmission port of the last LED driver chip will be pulled to a low level. When the second data transmission port of the last LED driver chip is externally connected to a high level V CC When the second data transmission port is pulled down to a low level state, it will be detected immediately. Thus, the controller HOST can quickly obtain the driving state information in the data frame.
[0050] In this embodiment, since the two data transmission ports are pulled down to a low level to express only one type of driving state information, the last LED driver chip is required to filter and process the driving state information in the data frame. For example, only the undervoltage state information in the data frame is processed. When the undervoltage state information is written into the data frame, the driving state information characterization signal input to the second data transmission port control module is a high level signal.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] like Figure 5 The LED driving system of the present embodiment shown in the figure comprises: a controller HOST and a plurality of LED driving chip serial units, each of which comprises LED driving chips Chip1 to Chip4; the controller HOST and each of the LED driving chip serial units form a serial communication link, and the controller acts as a host to send command data to the plurality of LED driving chips Chip1 to Chip4 acting as slaves.
[0053] Each of the LED driving chips has a plurality of LED driving channel pins LED1 to LED4, and the LED driving channel pins are used to connect an LED light string to directly control the light emission of the LED light string.
[0054] Each LED driver chip is provided with a first data transmission port D1 and a second data transmission port D2. The serial communication link means that the first data transmission port D1 of each LED driver chip is connected to the second data transmission port D2 of the LED driver chip of the previous level adjacent to the LED driver chip, the second data transmission port D2 of each LED driver chip is connected to the first data transmission port D1 of the LED driver chip of the next level adjacent to the LED driver chip, and the first LED driver chip in the LED driver chip serial unit is connected to the transmission port TX / RX of the controller HOST.
[0055] Similarly, in this example, the LED driving system adopts a two-way communication mode for data transmission, that is, when the LED driving chip is powered on, the first data transmission port D1 is set to a data receiving state, and the second data transmission port D2 is set to a data sending state. When the first data transmission port of the LED driving chip completes the reception of a data frame, it is converted to a data sending state, and when the second data transmission port D2 completes the transmission of a data frame, it is converted to a data receiving state.
[0056] The data frame format used in this embodiment and the second data transmission port control module provided in the LED driver chip are consistent with those in the aforementioned embodiment 1.
