Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to an optical signal processing circuit and device, an optical signal processing method and a storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Photoelectric sensors are devices that convert light signals into electrical signals. They can be used for FLICK testing and brightness testing of display screens.
[0003] In display screen testing applications, photoelectric sensors mostly use photodiodes to collect light signals emitted by the display screen under test, convert the collected light signals into amplified analog voltage signals, and then transmit them to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC then converts the amplified analog voltage signals into digital voltage signals. The optical display performance of the display screen is judged based on the analysis of the digital voltage signals.
[0004] In related technologies, the amplification factor used to convert light signals into amplified analog voltage signals is fixed. Therefore, as light intensity changes, the converted analog voltage signal also changes proportionally. If the light intensity is too high, the converted analog voltage signal may exceed the readable range or optimal reading range of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), resulting in inaccurate readings, large errors, or even unreadable readings.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without any creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application. It can be understood that some technical means of the various embodiments described herein can be replaced or combined with each other without conflict.
[0061] In the description and claims of the present application, if there are terms "first", "second" and the like, they are only used to distinguish the described objects, and do not have any sequential or technical meaning. Therefore, the objects defined with "first", "second" and the like can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the objects. And "one" or "an" and the like similar words do not represent a quantity limitation, but represent the existence of at least one.
[0062] Figure 1 The circuit block diagram of the optical signal processing device 1000 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the device 1000) provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown, which includes an optical signal conversion unit 100 and an optical signal processing circuit 200, wherein the optical signal conversion unit 100 is used to convert an optical signal into an initial voltage signal Vin which is an analog signal, and the optical signal processing circuit 200 can amplify the initial voltage signal Vin by a corresponding gear (multiplication factor) according to the size of the initial voltage signal Vin, and then convert the amplified analog signal into a digital signal and output it from a signal output node 20 thereof.
[0063] The optical signal conversion unit 100 can include a photosensitive device for receiving light irradiation and a coupling circuit electrically coupled with the photosensitive device. When light of different intensities irradiates the photosensitive device, the photosensitive device exhibits different electrical properties (for example, different resistance values), and the coupling circuit generates an initial voltage signal Vin related to the current light intensity by measuring the electrical property parameter of the photosensitive device in the current state, which is an analog voltage signal and positively related to the light intensity, that is, the greater the light intensity, the greater the initial voltage signal Vin, and the smaller the light intensity, the smaller the initial voltage signal Vin. However, the value of the initial voltage signal Vin is usually very small, so if it is directly input into an analog-to-digital converter ADC for analog-to-digital conversion, it is difficult to obtain ideal measurement accuracy of the optical signal.
[0064] The optical signal processing circuit 200 includes a signal input node 10 , transistors T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 , T5 , T6 , T7 , comparators 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , operational amplifiers 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , an analog-to-digital converter ADC, and a signal output node 20 .
[0065] The signal input node 10 is connected to the output end of the optical signal conversion unit 100 and is used to receive the initial voltage signal Vin converted from the optical signal.
[0066] Transistors T1, T3, T5, and T7 are N-type transistors, while transistors T2, T4, and T6 are P-type transistors. Transistors T1, T3, T5, and T7 are each connected to a signal input node 10 to receive an initial voltage signal Vin from the signal input node 10. Transistor T2 is connected in series with transistor T1, transistor T4 is connected in series with transistor T3, and transistor T6 is connected in series with transistor T5.
[0067] The comparator 11 has a non-inverting input connected to the signal input node 10, an inverting input connected to a first reference voltage node providing a threshold voltage Vref1, and an output connected to the gate of the transistor T1. In this embodiment, the first reference voltage node is a ground voltage node, and the threshold voltage Vref1 provided by the comparator 11 is a ground potential, i.e., zero volts. Therefore, for the comparator 11, when the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, that is, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref1, the output of the comparator 11 generates a high-level signal that is supplied to the gate of the transistor T1, turning on the transistor T1 and transmitting the initial voltage signal Vin to the transistor T2 via the transistor T1. When the voltage at the non-inverting input is not greater than the voltage at the inverting input, that is, when the initial voltage signal Vin is not greater than the threshold voltage Vref1, the output generates a low-level signal that is supplied to the gate of the transistor T1, turning off the transistor T1 and preventing the initial voltage signal Vin from being transmitted to the transistor T2 and the operational amplifier 21.
[0068] The non-inverting input of the comparator 12 is connected to the signal input node 10, the inverting input is connected to a second reference voltage node providing a threshold voltage Vref2, and the output is connected to the gate of the transistor T3. The threshold voltage Vref2 is greater than the threshold voltage Vrefl. Thus, for the comparator 12, when the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, i.e. the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref2, the output generates a high level signal supplied to the gate of the transistor T3, the transistor T3 is turned on, and the initial voltage signal Vin is transmitted to the transistor T4 via the transistor T3; and when the voltage at the non-inverting input is less than the voltage at the inverting input, i.e. the initial voltage signal Vin is less than the threshold voltage Vref2, for example, the initial voltage is Vrefl, the output generates a low level signal supplied to the gate of the transistor T3, the transistor T3 is turned off, and the initial voltage signal Vin cannot be transmitted to the transistor T4 and the operational amplifier 22.
[0069] The non-inverting input of the comparator 13 is connected to the signal input node 10, the inverting input is connected to a third reference voltage node providing a threshold voltage Vref3, and the output is connected to the gate of the transistor T5. The threshold voltage Vref3 is greater than the threshold voltage Vref2. Thus, for the comparator 13, when the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, i.e. the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref3, the output generates a high level signal supplied to the gate of the transistor T5, the transistor T5 is turned on, and the initial voltage signal Vin is transmitted to the transistor T6 via the transistor T5; and when the voltage at the non-inverting input is less than the voltage at the inverting input, i.e. the initial voltage signal Vin is less than the threshold voltage Vref3, for example, the initial voltage is Vrefl or Vref2, the output generates a low level signal supplied to the gate of the transistor T5, the transistor T5 is turned off, and the initial voltage signal Vin cannot be transmitted to the transistor T6 and the operational amplifier 23.
[0070] Comparator 14 has a non-inverting input connected to signal input node 10, an inverting input connected to a fourth reference voltage node providing a threshold voltage Vref4, and an output connected to the gate of transistor T7. Threshold voltage Vref4 is greater than threshold voltage Vref3. Therefore, for comparator 14, when the voltage at the non-inverting input is greater than the voltage at the inverting input, that is, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than threshold voltage Vref4, the output of comparator 14 generates a high-level signal that is supplied to the gate of transistor T7, turning on transistor T7 and transmitting the signal to the input of operational amplifier 24. When the voltage at the non-inverting input is less than the voltage at the inverting input, that is, when the initial voltage signal Vin is less than threshold voltage Vref4, for example, when the initial voltage is Vref1 or Vref2, the output generates a low-level signal that is supplied to the gate of transistor T7, turning off transistor T7 and preventing the initial voltage signal Vin from being transmitted to transistor T6 and operational amplifier 24.
[0071] The analog-to-digital converter ADC is configured to convert an analog signal supplied to an input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC into a digital signal.
[0072] One input terminal of the operational amplifier 21 is connected to the transistor T2 , and the operational amplifier 21 is configured to amplify the initial voltage signal Vin output by the transistor T2 by a first preset multiple and then supply the amplified signal to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC.
[0073] One input terminal of the operational amplifier 22 is connected to the transistor T4 , and the operational amplifier 22 is configured to amplify the initial voltage signal Vin output by the transistor T4 by a second preset multiple and then supply the amplified signal to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC.
[0074] One input terminal of the operational amplifier 23 is connected to the transistor T6 , and the operational amplifier 23 is configured to amplify the initial voltage signal Vin output by the transistor T6 by a third preset multiple and then supply the amplified signal to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC.
[0075] One input terminal of the operational amplifier 24 is connected to the transistor T7 and is configured to amplify the initial voltage signal Vin output by the transistor T7 by a fourth predetermined multiple and then supply the amplified signal to the input terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC. The first predetermined multiple, the second predetermined multiple, the third predetermined multiple, and the fourth predetermined multiple decrease in sequence.
[0076] As described above, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref4, transistors T1, T3, T5, and T7 are all in the on state, and therefore transistors T2, T4, and T6 all receive the initial voltage signal Vin. If transistors T2, T4, and T6 are all in the on state in this situation, operational amplifiers 21, 22, 23, and 24 will amplify the initial voltage signal Vin at different rates, making it difficult to determine the input voltage of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC), thereby affecting the accurate measurement of the current optical signal.
[0077] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1The embodiment also designs the optical signal circuit as follows: the gate of the transistor T2 is connected to the circuit node n1 between the transistor T3 and the transistor T4, the gate of the transistor T4 is connected to the circuit node n2 between the transistor T5 and the transistor T6, and the gate of the transistor T6 is connected to the output of the transistor T7, i.e. the drain of the transistor T7. Through the design, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref2 but less than the threshold voltage Vref3, the initial voltage signal Vin is also applied to the gate of the P-type transistor T2, so that the transistor T2 works in the off state. Thus, the initial voltage signal Vin cannot be transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 21 via the transistor T2, but only transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 22 via the conducting transistor T4. The initial voltage signal Vin is amplified by a second preset multiple via the operational amplifier 22, supplied to the input of the analog-to-digital converter ADC, converted into a digital output signal Vout of a corresponding size by the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and output via the signal output node 20, which can be the output terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC. Correspondingly, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref3 but less than the threshold voltage Vref4, the initial voltage signal Vin is applied to the gates of the P-type transistors T2 and T4, so that the transistors T2 and T4 both work in the off state. Thus, the initial voltage signal Vin cannot be transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 21 via the transistor T2, nor to the input of the operational amplifier 22 via the transistor T4, but only transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 23 via the conducting transistor T6. The initial voltage signal Vin is amplified by a third preset multiple via the operational amplifier 23, supplied to the input of the analog-to-digital converter ADC, converted into a digital output signal Vout of a corresponding size by the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and output via the signal output node 20. In addition, when the initial voltage signal Vin is greater than the threshold voltage Vref4, the initial voltage signal Vin is applied to the gates of the P-type transistors T2, T4 and T6, so that the transistors T2, T4 and T6 all work in the off state. Thus, the initial voltage signal Vin cannot be transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 21 via the transistor T2, nor to the input of the operational amplifier 22 via the transistor T4, nor to the input of the operational amplifier 23 via the transistor T6, but only transmitted to the input of the operational amplifier 24 via the conducting transistor T7. The initial voltage signal Vin is amplified by a fourth preset multiple via the operational amplifier 24, supplied to the input of the analog-to-digital converter ADC, converted into a digital output signal Vout of a corresponding size by the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and output via the signal output node 20.
[0078] It can be understood that by setting the first preset multiple, the second preset multiple, the third preset multiple and the fourth preset multiple to decrease in sequence, when the initial voltage signal Vin is in different voltage intervals defined by the aforementioned four threshold voltages Vref1, Vref2, Vref3 and Vref4, the size of the analog voltage signal received by the analog-to-digital converter ADC can be within an appropriate range, and the digital output signal Vout output by the analog-to-digital converter ADC can be maintained within an appropriate range, thereby avoiding the voltage exceeding the range of the analog-to-digital converter ADC.
[0079] Please review Figure 1 The device 1000 further includes an image processor 300 connected to the signal output node 20, i.e., connected to the output terminal of the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and a memory 400 connected to the image processor 300. The image processor 300 is configured to generate a corresponding digital image signal based on the magnitude of the digital output signal Vout output by the analog-to-digital converter ADC. The memory 400 is used to store the aforementioned digital image signal. The digital image signal is a digital signal in an image format that can be read and displayed by a display device, such as a liquid crystal display.
[0080] Based on the above description, the embodiment of the present application further provides an optical signal processing method, which can be Figure 1 The optical signal processing device 1000 shown in the figure is particularly implemented by the optical signal processing circuit 200 in the device.

[0090] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a display screen testing device for testing the optical display performance of a display screen, such as a liquid crystal display screen, and includes the aforementioned optical signal conversion unit 100 and optical signal processing circuit 200. The optical signal conversion unit 100 of the display screen testing device may be an optical probe that detects light emitted by the display screen under a given driving voltage, thereby generating an initial voltage signal Vin supplied to a signal input node 10 of the optical signal processing circuit 200. Based on the magnitude of the initial voltage signal Vin, the optical signal processing circuit 200 selects one of the operational amplifiers 21, 22, 23, and 24, amplifies the signal at a corresponding magnification, and then transmits the signal to an analog-to-digital converter ADC.
