[0038] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. 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] Example 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 integrated circuit (PMIC), and the power supply unit 100 is used to power at least the display light-emitting unit 21. The driving module 10 is used in 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 terminal of the first transistor 200 is connected to the power supply unit 100, and the second terminal of the first transistor 200 is connected to the display light-emitting unit 21 via the first node A. The voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a first voltage divider 310 and a second voltage divider 320. The first node A is connected to the ground terminal 101 via the first voltage divider 310, the second node B, and the second voltage divider 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 comparison unit 400 may include an operational amplifier or a comparator. The first input terminal of the comparison unit 400 may be a non-inverting input terminal, and the second input terminal of the comparison unit 400 may be an inverting input terminal.

[0042] The first transistor 200 is an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor (NMOS). When the voltage Vfb at 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 turn off the first transistor 200, thereby reducing the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10. When the voltage Vfb at 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 turn on the first transistor 200, thereby increasing the output voltage Vout of the driving module 10.

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

[0046] The resistance value of at least one device in the voltage acquisition unit 300 can vary with the environment. For example, the resistance value of the first voltage divider 310 is positively correlated with the viewing distance, while the resistance value of the second voltage divider 320 remains constant. As the user's viewing distance increases, the resistance value of the first voltage divider 310 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 increases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience. Conversely, as the user's viewing distance decreases, the resistance value of the first voltage divider 310 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 decreases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience and reducing power consumption.

[0047] In some embodiments, the resistance of the second voltage divider 320 is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness, while the resistance of the first voltage divider 310 remains unchanged. When the ambient brightness increases, the resistance of the second voltage divider 320 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 increases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 increases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience. Conversely, when the ambient brightness decreases, the resistance of the second voltage divider 320 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 decreases, and the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 21 decreases, thereby improving the user's viewing experience and reducing 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. 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 the 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 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 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 can be an N-type metal oxide field effect transistor, but is not limited thereto. The first transistor 200 can 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 310 and the second voltage divider 320 are interchanged. In other embodiments, the first transistor 200 can also be a triode.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first voltage divider 310 includes an infrared sensor, the resistance of which is positively correlated with the viewing distance. That is, the greater the viewing distance of the user, the greater the resistance of the first voltage divider 310. The second voltage divider 320 includes a photoresistor, the resistance of which is negatively correlated with the ambient brightness. That is, the greater the ambient brightness, the smaller the resistance of the second voltage divider 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 realize 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 supply 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 is connected to 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 the power management chip, depending on the specific situation.

[0057] Example 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 terminal 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 (TVS) diode.

[0060] When the output voltage Vcc of the power supply unit 100 is within a normal range, the voltage Vref of the reference power supply remains unchanged due to the clamping effect of the voltage regulator diode 600, 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 voltage regulator 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 driver module 10 is related to the resistance values ​​of the first voltage divider 310 and the second voltage divider 320. As the resistance value of the first voltage divider 310 increases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 increases; as the resistance value of the second voltage divider 320 decreases, the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 increases. In some embodiments, the maximum value of the output voltage Vout of the driver module 10 can be limited by limiting the resistance range of the first voltage divider 310 and the second voltage divider 320, thereby protecting the display light-emitting unit 21 and preventing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21 due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[0062] Example 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 Zener diode 600, a second transistor 700, and a protection unit 800. A first terminal of the second transistor 700 is connected to the third node C, and a second terminal of the second transistor 700 is connected to the first input terminal 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 terminal of the second transistor 700. The protection unit 800 is configured to control the second transistor 700 to be turned 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 operate 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 display light-emitting unit 21 from being damaged due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[0065] It should be noted that the breakdown of the Zener diode 600 requires accumulated charge, and the on-time of the Zener diode 600 is longer than the on-time of the second transistor 700. The provision of the second transistor 700 and the protection unit 800 can cut off the reference power supply, further preventing damage to the display light-emitting unit 21 caused by excessive output voltage Vout. Furthermore, the triggering protection voltage of the second transistor 700 and the protection unit 800 can be set to be lower than the voltage at which the Zener diode 600 triggers protection, thereby reducing the probability of the Zener diode 600 being triggered and 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 terminal of the third transistor 840 is connected to the third node C through the second resistor 810, the first terminal 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 terminal of the second transistor 700 is connected to the fifth node E, and the second terminal 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 operate 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 high 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 lights up, 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] Example 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, and 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 operate 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 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 display light-emitting unit 21 from being damaged due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[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 lights up, 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, and 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. 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 disposed 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 voltage of the fourth node D controls the second transistor 700 to turn on, and the comparison unit 400 and the driving module 10 operate 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 display light-emitting unit 21 from being damaged due to excessive output voltage Vout.

[0079] See also Figure 5As shown, the display device in this embodiment includes the driving module 10 disclosed in Embodiments 1 to 4 and a display light-emitting unit 21, 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 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 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.
