[0024] The technical solution of this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of this embodiment, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0025] Embodiment 1
[0026] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 A vehicle-mounted MINI display LD backlight system includes a backlight panel 1, on which a plurality of driver IC chips 2 are arranged, and each of the plurality of driver IC chips 2 is connected with a plurality of lamp beads, which are evenly arranged on the backlight panel 1, and the driver IC chip 2 is an AM small chip.
[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of the driver IC chips 2 form an AM architecture, where AM refers to Active Matrix. The front-end TCON sends brightness data, the mid-end MCU analyzes the brightness data and converts the data into a dedicated protocol for the AM driver chip, and the terminal AM driver chip starts working after receiving the corresponding drive signal, outputting a dimming PWM waveform or a DC waveform to adjust the light-emitting mode of the lamp bead.
[0028] In this embodiment, one driver IC chip 2 in the AM architecture controls 4 to 8 areas.
[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of the driver IC chips 2 are connected in series step by step.
[0030] In this embodiment, we assume that I=17.5mA corresponds to a voltage of 2.82V, and 4I equals 70mA, corresponding to a voltage of 3.08V.
[0031] Figure 1 :The power consumption of a single lamp bead is W=UIT, W=17.5*2.82T=49.35T;
[0032] Figure 2 :The power consumption of a single lamp bead W=U*4I*(T / 4)=3.08*70*(T / 4)=53.9T;
[0033] Therefore, the power consumption of AM is lower than that of PM under the same average current. The relatively low power consumption of vehicle backlight is more conducive to the environment of automotive electronics.
[0034] join Figure 4 : One PM architecture driver IC can control 384 partitions, so the corresponding IC temperature will be very high.
[0035] join Figure 5 :The driver IC of AM architecture controls 4 or 8 zones, and is evenly arranged on the light board, so the temperature rise is relatively good. The temperature inside the vehicle system will also be relatively good; The improvement of this case is: The driver IC of AM architecture controls 4 or 8 zones, and is evenly arranged on the light board, so the temperature rise is relatively good.
[0036] In this embodiment, currently mass-produced car manufacturers mainly use PM architecture backlight chips. The present utility model mainly uses AM backlight drive architecture.
[0037] In this embodiment, some car manufacturers such as Ideal, Changan, Cadillac, etc. have already used this technology, but they still use the four-scan or multi-scan backlight mode of the PM architecture. The main problem caused by this mode is that the IC is highly utilized. For example, if a 384-zone vehicle-mounted project only uses one, it is difficult to solve the problem of local temperature rise of one IC. Secondly, high-frequency refresh will also cause DCDC howling and EMI problems.
[0038] In this embodiment, AM small chips are used. The natural advantage of this chip is that it can be evenly distributed in different areas of the light board. And a small chip basically only has 4 or 8 partitions. The relative power consumption is very low. Therefore, the temperature rise of the entire backlight panel 1, including the IC inside, is very good. Secondly, AM does not need to consider the chip utilization problem, so a high refresh rate is not required. The DC dimming mode can also be used, and there is no concept of fast switching of MOS tubes. Therefore, DCDC howling and EMI problems can be solved. This solution can also reduce the power consumption of the entire backlight. In the PM driver chip mode, the backlight panel 1 has PMOS as a switch for scanning switching. Because this runs a large current, plus the internal resistance of the MOS tube itself, it will consume part of the power consumption. Secondly, the multi-scan solution is time-sharing multiplexing. Ensure that the average current of the lamp bead remains unchanged, but the time is shortened, so only the peak current can be pulled. According to the VF characteristics of the lamp bead, the voltage will be based on the voltage corresponding to the maximum current. Then the power consumption of the lamp bead at this time is relatively high compared to the power consumption under low current, so the power consumption of the entire backlight panel 1 using the PM architecture will be high. Because AM is directly driven, the voltage and current are highly matched per unit time, so the power consumption is lower.
[0039] In this embodiment, because the temperature is evenly distributed on the lamp board, the temperature rise of the chip will be much lower than the driving temperature rise of the PM. The power consumption is explained in detail in the first few pictures of my fourth point. One driver of the AM architecture has 4 or 8 areas, which are mainly evenly arranged on the lamp board in a cascade manner. The first chip receives the driving signal from the control board, and then the second driver chip receives the control signal from the first chip, and so on, until the last control chip sends the signal back to the MCU on the control board. A communication loop is achieved.
