The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] See also Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving module 10 includes a power supply unit 100, a first transistor 200, a voltage acquisition unit 300 and a comparison unit 400. The power supply unit 100 may include a power management chip (Power Management integrated circuit, PMIC), and the power supply unit 100 is at least used to supply power to the display light-emitting unit 21. The driving module 10 is used for a display device. When the display device is a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display includes a backlight module, and the display light-emitting unit 21 can be a light-emitting diode (LED) of the backlight module; when the display device is an organic light-emitting diode display, the display light-emitting unit 21 can be an organic light-emitting diode of the display panel.

[0041] The first end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the power supply unit 100, and the second end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the display light-emitting unit 21 through the first node A. The voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a first voltage divider device 310 and a second voltage divider device 320, and the first node A is connected to the ground terminal 101 through the first voltage divider device 310, the second node B, and the second voltage divider device 320. The first input end of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the reference power supply, the second input end of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the second node B, and the output end of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the control end of the first transistor 200. The comparison unit 400 may include an operational amplifier or a comparator, the first input end of the comparison unit 400 may be a non-inverting input end, and the second input end of the comparison unit 400 may be an inverting input end.

[0042] The first transistor 200 is an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor (NMOS). When the voltage Vfb of the second node B is greater than the voltage Vref of the reference power supply, the comparison unit 400 outputs a low-level signal to control the first transistor 200 to be turned off, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 decreases; when the voltage Vfb of the second node B is less than the voltage Vref of the reference power supply, the comparison unit 400 outputs a high-level signal to control the first transistor 200 to be turned on, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 increases.

[0043] The output voltage of the power supply unit 100 is Vcc, and the output voltage of the driving module 10 (i.e., the voltage of the first node A) is Vout. Since the first transistor 200 can switch quickly, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is determined by the turn-on duty cycle of the first transistor 200. The output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is:

[0044] Vout=(Vref / R2)×(R1+R2)=((R1+R2) / R2)×Vref=(1+R1 / R2)×Vref;

[0045] Wherein, R1 is the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 , and R2 is the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 .

[0046] The resistance value of at least one device in the voltage acquisition unit 300 can change with the environment. For example, the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 is positively correlated with the viewing distance, and the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 remains unchanged. When the user's viewing distance increases, the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 increases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience; correspondingly, when the user's viewing distance decreases, the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 decreases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases, which can both improve the user's viewing experience and reduce power consumption.

[0047] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness, and the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 remains unchanged. When the ambient brightness increases, the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 increases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience; correspondingly, when the ambient brightness decreases, the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 decreases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases, which can improve the user's viewing experience and reduce power consumption.

[0048] In some embodiments, the resistance value of the first voltage divider 310 is positively correlated with the viewing distance, and the resistance value of the second voltage divider 320 is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 is affected by both the user's viewing distance and the ambient brightness.

[0049] The brightness of the display cannot be adjusted according to the ambient brightness, viewing distance, etc. For example, in a dark environment, the brightness of the display is too high, which not only affects the user's viewing experience, but also easily causes increased power consumption.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving module 10 includes a power supply unit 100, a first transistor 200, a voltage acquisition unit 300 and a comparison unit 400. The power supply unit 100 is at least used to supply power to the display light-emitting unit 21. The first end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the power supply unit 100, and the second end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the display light-emitting unit 21 through a first node A. The voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a first voltage divider device 310 and a second voltage divider device 320. The first node A is connected to the ground terminal 101 through the first voltage divider device 310, the second node B, and the second voltage divider device 320. The first input terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the reference power supply, the second input terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the second node B, and the output terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the control terminal of the first transistor 200. The resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 is positively correlated with the viewing distance, and / or the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness. When the user's viewing distance decreases or the ambient brightness decreases, the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases. The brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 can change with the user's viewing distance and ambient brightness, which can not only improve the user's viewing experience but also reduce power consumption.

[0051] It should be noted that the first transistor 200 may be an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor, but is not limited thereto. The first transistor 200 may also be a P-type metal oxide field effect transistor (PMOS), depending on the specific situation. When the first transistor 200 is a P-type metal oxide field effect transistor, the first voltage divider device 310 and the second voltage divider device 320 are interchanged. In other embodiments, the first transistor 200 may also be a triode.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first voltage divider device 310 includes an infrared sensor, and the resistance value of the infrared sensor is positively correlated with the viewing distance, that is, the greater the viewing distance of the user, the greater the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310. The second voltage divider device 320 includes a photoresistor, and the resistance value of the photoresistor is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness, that is, the greater the ambient brightness, the smaller the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320.

[0053] The first voltage divider device 310 is an infrared sensor, and the second voltage divider device 320 is a photoresistor. The device structure is simple, which can reduce the production cost of the driving module 10 and realizes that the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases when the user's viewing distance increases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases when the ambient brightness increases.

[0054] In some embodiments, the driving module 10 includes a first resistor 500 , the first resistor 500 is connected to the power supply unit 100 and the first input terminal of the comparison unit 400 , and the reference power source includes the first resistor 500 .

[0055] The voltage Vref of the reference power supply is less than the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100. The first resistor 500 connects the power supply unit 100 and the first input terminal of the comparison unit 400. The voltage Vref of the reference power supply is generated by dividing the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 through the first resistor 500, which can reduce the number of output voltages of the driving module 10.

[0056] It should be noted that the reference power voltage Vref is generated by dividing the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 through the first resistor 500, but is not limited thereto. The reference power voltage Vref may also be directly generated by a power management chip, depending on the specific situation.

[0057] Embodiment 2

[0058] The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the driving module 10 in the second embodiment further includes an overvoltage protection circuit.

[0059] See also Figure 2 As shown, the driving module 10 further includes a Zener diode 600, the first resistor 500 and the first input end of the comparison unit 400 are connected via a third node C, the anode of the Zener diode 600 is connected to the ground terminal 101, and the cathode of the Zener diode 600 is connected to the third node C. The Zener diode 600 includes a transient voltage suppressor diode (TVS).

[0060] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, due to the clamping effect of the Zener diode 600, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply remains unchanged, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is stable; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the Zener diode 600 is broken down, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply is pulled down, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is also reduced, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the display light-emitting unit 21 from being damaged due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[0061] The output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is related to the resistance values ​​of the first voltage divider device 310 and the second voltage divider device 320. When the resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 increases; when the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 increases. In some embodiments, the maximum value of the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 can be limited by limiting the resistance value range of the first voltage divider device 310 and the second voltage divider device 320, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the display light-emitting unit 21 from being damaged due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] The main difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that the structure of the overvoltage protection circuit is different. The overvoltage protection circuit in the second embodiment includes a voltage stabilizing diode 600, see Figure 3 As shown, the overvoltage protection circuit in the second embodiment includes a voltage stabilizing diode 600, a second transistor 700 and a protection unit 800. The first end of the second transistor 700 is connected to the third node C, and the second end of the second transistor 700 is connected to the first input end of the comparison unit 400. The protection unit 800 is connected to at least the power supply unit 100, the third node C and the control end of the second transistor 700, and the protection unit 800 is used to control the second transistor 700 to turn off when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is greater than a preset value.

[0064] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, the protection unit 800 controls the second transistor 700 to turn on, and the comparison unit 400 and the driving module 10 work normally; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the protection unit 800 controls the second transistor 700 to turn off, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply is 0, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is 0, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the output voltage Vout from being too large and causing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21.

[0065] It should be noted that the breakdown of the Zener diode 600 requires the accumulation of charge, and the turn-on time of the Zener diode 600 is greater than the turn-on time of the second transistor 700. The second transistor 700 and the protection unit 800 are provided to cut off the reference power supply, further preventing the output voltage Vout from being too large and causing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21. In addition, the triggering protection voltage of the second transistor 700 and the protection unit 800 can also be set to be lower than the voltage of the Zener diode 600 to trigger the protection, thereby reducing the probability of the Zener diode 600 triggering the work, thereby extending the service life of the Zener diode 600.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second transistor 700 is an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor, and the protection unit 800 includes a second resistor 810, a third resistor 820, a fourth resistor 830 and a third transistor 840. The control end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the third node C through the second resistor 810, the first end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the power supply unit 100 through the fifth node E and the third resistor 820, the control end of the second transistor 700 is connected to the fifth node E, and the second end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the ground terminal 101 through the fourth resistor 830. The third transistor 840 includes an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor or a triode.

[0067] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, the third transistor 840 is turned off, the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 controls the second transistor 700 to turn on, and the comparison unit 400 and the driving module 10 work normally; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the third transistor 840 is turned on, the voltage of the fifth node E controls the second transistor 700 to turn off, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply is 0, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is 0, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the output voltage Vout from being too large and causing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21.

[0068] In some embodiments, the protection unit 800 further includes an indicator light 850, which is connected in series between the ground terminal 101 and the second terminal of the third transistor 840. The indicator light 850 includes a light emitting diode.

[0069] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within the normal range, the third transistor 840 is turned off and the indicator light 850 does not emit light; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the third transistor 840 is turned on and the indicator light 850 is lit, indicating that the reason why the light-emitting unit 21 does not emit light is that the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high.

[0070] Embodiment 4

[0071] The main difference between the fourth embodiment and the third embodiment is that the structure of the protection unit 800 is different.

[0072] See also Figure 4 As shown, the second transistor 700 is a P-type field effect transistor, the protection unit 800 includes a second resistor 810 and a third transistor 840, a first end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the power supply unit 100, a second end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the control end of the second transistor 700, and the control end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the third node C through the second resistor 810. The third transistor 840 includes an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor or a triode.

[0073] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, the third transistor 840 is turned off and the second transistor 700 is turned on, and the comparison unit 400 and the driving module 10 work normally; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the third transistor 840 is turned on, and the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 controls the second transistor 700 to be turned off, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply is 0, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is 0, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the output voltage Vout from being too large and causing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21.

[0074] In some embodiments, the protection unit 800 further includes an indicator light 850, which is connected in series between the ground terminal 101 and the second terminal of the third transistor 840. The indicator light 850 includes a light emitting diode.

[0075] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within the normal range, the third transistor 840 is turned off and the indicator light 850 does not emit light; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the third transistor 840 is turned on and the indicator light 850 is lit, indicating that the reason why the light-emitting unit 21 does not emit light is that the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high.

[0076] In some embodiments, the third transistor 840 is a triode, the protection unit 800 further includes a third resistor 820 and a fourth resistor 830, the second end of the third transistor 840 is connected to the control end of the second transistor 700 via a fourth node D, the third resistor 820 is connected to the power supply unit 100 and the fourth node D, and the fourth resistor 830 is connected to the fourth node D and the ground terminal 101. When the protection unit 800 further includes the third resistor 820 and the fourth resistor 830, the indicator light 850 can be set between the second end of the third transistor 840 and the fourth node D.

[0077] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, the third transistor 840 is turned off, the fourth node D voltage controls the second transistor 700 to turn on, and the comparison unit 400 and the driving module 10 work normally; when the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is too high, the third transistor 840 is turned on, the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 controls the second transistor 700 to turn off, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply is 0, and the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10 is 0, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing the output voltage Vout from being too large and causing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21.

[0079] See also Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the display device includes the driving module 10 and the display light-emitting unit 21 disclosed in the first to fourth embodiments, and the display light-emitting unit 21 is connected to the driving module 10. The display device may include a liquid crystal display and an organic light-emitting diode display. When the display device is a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display includes a backlight module, and the display light-emitting unit 21 may be a light-emitting diode of the backlight module; when the display device is an organic light-emitting diode display, the display light-emitting unit 21 may be an organic light-emitting diode of the display panel.

[0080] The display device includes a driving module 10, which includes a power supply unit 100, a first transistor 200, a voltage acquisition unit 300 and a comparison unit 400. The power supply unit 100 is at least used to supply power to the display light-emitting unit 21. The first end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the power supply unit 100, and the second end of the first transistor 200 is connected to the display light-emitting unit 21 through a first node A. The voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a first voltage divider device 310 and a second voltage divider device 320. The first node A is connected to the ground terminal 101 through the first voltage divider device 310, the second node B, and the second voltage divider device 320. The first input terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to a reference power supply, the second input terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the second node B, and the output terminal of the comparison unit 400 is connected to the control terminal of the first transistor 200. The resistance value of the first voltage divider device 310 is positively correlated with the viewing distance, and / or the resistance value of the second voltage divider device 320 is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness. When the user's viewing distance decreases or the ambient brightness decreases, the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases. The brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 can change with the user's viewing distance and ambient brightness, which can not only improve the user's viewing experience but also reduce power consumption.
