AI Technical Summary
When the existing TDDI circuit drives amorphous silicon (a-Si) and low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) panels, the voltage difference between the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL is limited, and the limit value of 32 volts cannot be reached, resulting in a limited amplitude of the touch sensing signal.
By introducing a plurality of switches and voltage regulators into the TDDI circuit, the waveforms of the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL are adjusted by controlling the state of these switches and voltage regulators, thereby increasing the voltage difference of the driving voltage without damaging the display performance of the panel.
The voltage difference between the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL is achieved at a limit of 32 volts, and the amplitude space of the touch sensing signal is increased, effectively solving the problem of limiting voltage difference in the prior art.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a display, and in particular to a touch and display driver integration (TDDI) circuit. Background Art
[0002] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a traditional TDDI circuit; Figure 2 The timing diagram of the traditional TDDI circuit driving the amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel to operate in the display time and touch time; Figure 3 The timing diagram of the traditional TDDI circuit driving the low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) panel to operate in the display time and touch time.
[0003] In the application of TDDI circuit IC, the display driver circuit and the touch circuit are operated in time-sharing mode, that is, the display time DT of the display driver circuit and the touch time TT of the touch circuit are separated from each other. Figure 2 and Figure 3 During the touch time TT, the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL for controlling the thin film transistor switch on the liquid crystal display panel are in a floating state, and the first pin VGH_CAP_REF and the second pin VGL_CAP_REF of the TDDI circuit IC are coupled to the touch driving voltage for driving, so that the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL together serve as the touch driving voltage to eliminate the parasitic capacitance on the panel.
[0004] In general semiconductor processes, the withstand voltage of transistor components is usually limited to less than or equal to 32 volts (V). If the touch circuit of the TDDI circuit IC is a negative voltage circuit, the TDDI circuit IC needs to generate a minimum voltage as the substrate voltage VPSUB of the TDDI circuit IC during operation. However, this substrate voltage VPSUB will increase the cross-voltage of the component, resulting in the voltage difference between the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL being limited and unable to reach the limit value of 32 volts, and the voltage amplitude of the touch sensing signal whose voltage difference from the first driving voltage VGH to the substrate voltage VPSUB is less than or equal to 32 volts is also limited, which needs further improvement.
[0005] by Figure 2Taking the conventional TDDI circuit IC driving an amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel as an example, when the voltage difference between the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL is too large, in order to make the voltage difference from the first driving voltage VGH to the substrate voltage VPSUB less than or equal to 32 volts, the amplitude of the touch sensing signal will be limited, which needs further improvement. In addition, during the touch time TT of the touch circuit operation, because the level of the substrate voltage VPSUB must be lower than the lowest point of the second driving voltage VGL waveform, the voltage difference between the first driving voltage VGH and the second driving voltage VGL cannot reach the limit value of 32 volts, which needs further improvement.
[0006] by Figure 3 Taking the traditional TDDI circuit IC driving the low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) panel as an example, when the first driving voltage VGH is too small, the trough of the first driving voltage VGH within the touch time TT may touch the first lower limit voltage VDPA, causing the touch sensing signal to be clamped by the diode D1 and its amplitude to be limited, which needs further improvement.

[0093] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a touch and display driver integrated (TDDI) circuit. In this embodiment, the TDDI circuit is coupled to a panel to drive the panel to provide display and touch functions.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the TDDI circuit in this embodiment.

The sixth pin PSUB is coupled to the third pin PSUB_CAP_REF through the third external capacitor CPSUB to provide the substrate voltage VPSUB. The sixth pin PSUB is also coupled to the second lower limit voltage VDNA and the ground voltage GND respectively.
[0096] The first low voltage dropout regulator SHIFT_VGH_LDO is used to provide a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH. The second low voltage dropout regulator PSUB_LDO is used to provide an output signal PSUBLDO_OUT. The first switch SW1 is coupled between the first pin VGH_CAP_REF and the first low voltage dropout regulator SHIFT_VGH_LDO, and the on or off of the first switch SW1 is controlled by the first control signal CT1. The second switch SW2 is coupled between the first pin VGH_CAP_REF and the first preset voltage VRCM, and the on or off of the second switch SW2 is controlled by the second control signal CT2. The third switch SW3 is coupled between the second pin VGL_CAP_REF and the second preset voltage VSSA, and the on or off of the third switch SW3 is controlled by the third control signal CT3.

[0097] It should be noted that the first external capacitor CVGH, the second external capacitor CVGL, the third external capacitor CPSUB, the first lower limit voltage VDPA, the second lower limit voltage VDNA and the ground voltage GND are disposed on the circuit board PCB, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0098] In practical applications, the TDDI circuit IC can be coupled to an amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel and used to drive the amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel to operate in display mode and touch mode at different times.
[0099] Please also refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 They are schematic diagrams of the TDDI circuit IC driving the amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel to operate in display time and touch time; Figure 7 The timing diagram of the TDDI circuit IC driving the amorphous silicon (a-Si) panel to operate in the display time and touch time.
[0100] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the display time (charge pump on) DT before the first time t1, the first control signal CT1 and the third control signal CT3 are at a high level and the second control signal CT2 and the fourth control signal CT4 are at a low level, so that the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH has an original voltage value (for example, 18V, but not limited thereto).
[0101] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, at the first time t1, the display time DT ends and the touch time (charging pump off) TT begins, the first control signal CT1 changes from a high level to a low level, the second control signal CT2 changes from a low level to a high level, the third control signal CT3 is still maintained at a high level and the fourth control signal CT4 is still maintained at a low level, so that the second switch SW2, the third switch SW3 and the sixth switch SW6 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the first switch SW1, the fourth switch SW4, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned off, and the first driving voltage VGH at the first time t1 drops from the original voltage value (for example, 18 volts, but not limited thereto) to a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH (for example, 2 volts, but not limited thereto) and becomes an adjusted voltage value (for example, 16 volts, but not limited thereto).
[0102] Therefore, if Figure 7 As shown, the voltage difference (VGH-VPSUB) between the adjusted voltage value of the first driving voltage VGH (for example, 16 volts, but not limited thereto) and the substrate voltage VPSUB (for example, -14.4 volts, but not limited thereto) will be increased from the prior art ( Figure 2 ) is reduced from 32.4 volts to 30.4 volts.
[0103] At the second time t2, the TDDI circuit IC still operates within the touch time (charge pump off) TT, the first control signal CT1 is still maintained at a low level, the second control signal CT2 is still maintained at a high level, the third control signal CT3 changes from a high level to a low level, and the fourth control signal CT4 changes from a low level to a high level, so that the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 are turned on and the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL and the first preset voltage VRCM all drop by the same voltage (for example, 1 volt, but not limited thereto).
[0104] Between the second time t2 and the third time t3, the TDDI circuit IC still operates in the touch time (charge pump off) TT, and the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL and the first preset voltage VRCM all change in the same driving sine wave.
[0105] At the third time t3, the TDDI circuit IC still operates within the touch time (charge pump off) TT, the first control signal CT1 is still maintained at a low level, the second control signal CT2 is still maintained at a high level, the third control signal CT3 changes from a low level to a high level, and the fourth control signal CT4 changes from a high level to a low level, so that the second switch SW2, the third switch SW3 and the sixth switch SW6 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the first switch SW1, the fourth switch SW4, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL and the first preset voltage VRCM all rise to the same voltage (for example, 1 volt, but not limited thereto).
[0106] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, at the fourth time t4, the touch time (charge pump off) TT ends and the display time (charge pump on) DT begins, the first control signal CT1 changes from a low level to a high level, the second control signal CT2 changes from a high level to a low level, the third control signal CT3 is still maintained at a high level and the fourth control signal CT4 is still maintained at a low level, so that the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH rises to a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH (for example, 2 volts, but not limited thereto) to the original voltage value (for example, 18 volts, but not limited thereto).
[0107] It should be noted that during the touch time (charge pump off) TT from time t1 to time t4 , the lowest point of the waveform of the second driving voltage VGL (eg, -14V, but not limited thereto) is higher than the substrate voltage VPSUB (eg, -14.4V, but not limited thereto).
[0108] In practical applications, the TDDI circuit IC can also be coupled to a low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) panel and used to drive the low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) panel to operate in display and touch modes at different times.

[0110] like Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, in the display time (charge pump is turned on) DT before the first time t1, the first control signal CT1 and the third control signal CT3 are at a high level and the second control signal CT2 and the fourth control signal CT4 are at a low level, so that the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH has an original voltage value (for example, 10V, but not limited thereto).
[0111] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, at the first time t1, the display time (charge pump on) DT ends and the touch time (charge pump off) TT begins, the first control signal CT1 changes from a high level to a low level, the second control signal CT2 changes from a low level to a high level, the third control signal CT3 is still maintained at a high level and the fourth control signal CT4 is still maintained at a low level, so that the second switch SW2, the third switch SW3 and the sixth switch SW6 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on and the first switch SW1, the fourth switch SW4, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH will rise from the original voltage value (for example, 10 volts, but not limited thereto) to a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH (for example, 2 volts, but not limited thereto) and become the adjusted voltage value (for example, 12 volts, but not limited thereto).
[0112] Therefore, if Fig.10 As shown, the voltage difference (VGH-VPSUB) between the adjusted voltage value of the first driving voltage VGH (for example, 12 volts, but not limited thereto) and the substrate voltage VPSUB (for example, -12.9 volts, but not limited thereto) will be increased from the prior art ( Figure 3 ) is increased from 22.9 volts to 24.9 volts.
[0113] At the second time t2, the TDDI circuit IC still operates within the touch time (charging pump is turned off) TT, the first control signal CT1 is still maintained at a low level, the second control signal CT2 is still maintained at a high level, the third control signal CT3 changes from a high level to a low level, and the fourth control signal CT4 changes from a low level to a high level, causing the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 in the TDDI circuit IC to be turned on and the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 to be turned off, and the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL and the first preset voltage VRCM all drop by the same voltage (for example, 1.5 volts, but not limited to this).
[0114] Between the second time t2 and the third time t3, the TDDI circuit IC still operates within the touch time (charging pump off) TT, and the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL and the first preset voltage VRCM all change in the same driving sine wave. The lowest point of the sine wave of the first driving voltage VGH (for example, 8.5 volts, but not limited thereto) is higher than the first lower limit voltage VDPA (for example, 6.5 volts, but not limited thereto) and the difference between the two is widened to a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH (for example, 2 volts, but not limited thereto), so that the amplitude of the first preset voltage VRCM can be increased from 2 volts to a maximum of 4 volts. Compared with the traditional method, the touch sensing signal is clamped by the diode D1 and its amplitude is limited.
[0115] At the third time t3, the TDDI circuit IC still operates within the touch time (charge pump off) TT, the first control signal CT1 is still maintained at a low level, the second control signal CT2 is still maintained at a high level, the third control signal CT3 changes from a low level to a high level, and the fourth control signal CT4 changes from a high level to a low level, so that the second switch SW2, the third switch SW3, and the sixth switch SW6 in the TDDI circuit IC are turned on, and the first switch SW1, the fourth switch SW4, the fifth switch SW5, and the seventh switch SW7 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH, the second driving voltage VGL, and the first preset voltage VRCM all rise to the same voltage (for example, 1.5 volts, but not limited thereto).
[0116] like Figure 8 and Fig.10As shown, at the fourth time t4, the touch time (charge pump off) TT ends and the display time (charge pump on) DT begins, the first control signal CT1 changes from a low level to a high level, the second control signal CT2 changes from a high level to a low level, the third control signal CT3 is still maintained at a high level and the fourth control signal CT4 is still maintained at a low level, so that the first switch SW1, the third switch SW3, the fifth switch SW5 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned on and the second switch SW2, the fourth switch SW4 and the sixth switch SW6 are turned off. At this time, the first driving voltage VGH drops from the adjusted voltage value (for example, 12 volts, but not limited thereto) to a specific voltage VSHFT_VGH (for example, 2 volts, but not limited thereto) to the original voltage value (for example, 10 volts, but not limited thereto).
[0117] It should be noted that during the touch time (charge pump off) TT from time t1 to time t4 , the lowest point of the waveform of the second driving voltage VGL (eg, -12.5V, but not limited thereto) is higher than the substrate voltage VPSUB (eg, -12.9V, but not limited thereto).
