Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an AMOLED module, or more precisely, an AMOLED display power supply module. Background Technology

[0002] AMOLED displays, characterized by vibrant colors, high contrast, and small screen size, are widely used in smartwatches and smart bracelets. As consumer products, smartwatches and smart bracelets have a very large customer market, with monthly shipments reaching millions of dollars. To provide customers with the best display effects and more convenient applications, it is necessary to continuously optimize the peripheral components and power supply voltage requirements of AMOLED modules.

[0003] Currently, the crucial voltages required for AMOLED glass are generated and provided by the display IC, namely AVDD (4.5-6.5V), AVEE (-2-6.3V), VGH (6.6V), and VGL (-6.6V). In addition, the display IC must simultaneously handle AMOLED display and optimize display algorithms, resulting in a massive workload. With the development of AMOLED panels, the market demands increasingly larger AMOLED sizes and higher pixel resolutions. This inevitably requires increasingly higher driving capabilities from the display IC, which could impact its efficiency and thus hinder the development of AMOLED. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the configuration of AMOLED displays to meet market demands and development needs.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN105845086B discloses an ELVDD power supply method based on an AMOLED display device, characterized by comprising: acquiring data signals of each row of pixels in a frame; comparing the data signals of each row of pixels with grayscale values ​​of at least two levels; determining the grayscale value corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels and taking the closest target grayscale value as the grayscale level corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels, wherein the grayscale value corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels is greater than the target grayscale value, and the target grayscale value belongs to the grayscale values ​​of the at least two levels; taking the maximum grayscale level corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels as the grayscale level of the frame, and supplying power to the device through the power supply corresponding to the maximum grayscale level. The method drives a frame of image using an luminescent driving voltage ELVDD; compares the data signal of each row of pixels with at least two grayscale values, including: comparing the data signal of each row of pixels with any grayscale value; if the grayscale value corresponding to the data signal of the current row of pixels is greater than or equal to the grayscale value of any level, setting the count value of the counter corresponding to the current row of pixels to 1; if the grayscale value corresponding to the data signal of the current row of pixels is less than the grayscale value of any level, setting the count value of the counter corresponding to the current row of pixels to 0; wherein the counter is used to record the comparison result; the method further includes: performing an OR operation on the recorded result of the counter corresponding to each row of pixels in the frame of image to obtain the maximum grayscale level corresponding to the data signal of each row of pixels. Obtaining the data signal of each row of pixels in a frame of image includes: reading the data signal of each row of pixels in the frame of image from a memory. Comparing the data signal of each row of pixels with at least two grayscale values ​​includes: obtaining a clock cycle signal; and sequentially comparing the data signal of each row of pixels in the frame of image with at least two grayscale values ​​according to the clock cycle signal. The at least two grayscale values ​​include a first grayscale value, a second grayscale value, a third grayscale value, and a fourth grayscale value; wherein the first grayscale value corresponds to a first ELVDD, the second grayscale value corresponds to a second ELVDD, the third grayscale value corresponds to a third ELVDD, and the fourth grayscale value corresponds to a fourth ELVDD; the grayscale value of the first level < the grayscale value of the second level < the grayscale value of the third level < the grayscale value of the fourth level ....This invention provides an ELVDD power supply device based on an AMOLED display device, comprising: an acquisition unit for acquiring data signals of each row of pixels in a frame; a processing unit for comparing the data signals of each row of pixels with at least two grayscale values; the processing unit is further configured to determine the grayscale value corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels and take the closest target grayscale value as the grayscale level corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels, wherein the grayscale value corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels is greater than the target grayscale value, and the target grayscale value belongs to at least two grayscale levels; and an output unit for taking the maximum grayscale level corresponding to the data signals of each row of pixels as the grayscale level of a frame, and driving a frame of the image through the ELVDD corresponding to the maximum grayscale level.

[0005] This patent flexibly adjusts the ELVDD of each frame according to the actual needs of the AMOLED display device, thereby changing the current through the EL device and thus the heat generation of the AMOLED display device. This prevents the EL device from being in a high-heat environment for a long time, increasing its lifespan. However, this structure cannot solve the existing power supply problem.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention provides an AMOLED display power supply module. Because the boost circuit is separated from the display IC, the area of ​​the display IC can be effectively reduced, the yield rate of the display IC can be improved, and thus the cost of the display IC can be lowered. Since the POWER IC provides AVDD, AVEE, VGH, and VGL voltages, efficiency and yield are higher, voltage stability is improved, and it can be more flexibly modified according to different AMOLED models, catering to the market's development needs for AMOLED.

[0027] As described in the background section, AMOLED technology, with its vibrant display, high contrast, and small screen size, is widely used in smartwatches and smart bracelets. Smartwatches and smart bracelets, as consumer products, have a very large customer market, with monthly shipments reaching millions of dollars. To provide customers with the best display effects and more convenient applications, it is necessary to continuously optimize the peripheral components and power supply voltage requirements of AMOLED modules. Currently, the key voltages required for the glass are generated and provided by the screen IC, namely AVDD (4.5-6.5V), AVEE (-2-6.3V), VGH (6.6V), and VGL (-6.6V). In addition, the screen IC must simultaneously handle the AMOLED screen display and optimize display algorithms, resulting in a huge workload. With the development of AMOLED panels, the market demands increasingly larger AMOLED sizes and higher pixel resolutions, inevitably requiring increasingly higher driving capabilities from the screen IC. This development will affect the efficiency of the screen IC, thus impacting the development momentum of AMOLED. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the configuration of AMOLED to meet market demands and development.

[0028] To address this technical problem, this invention provides an AMOLED display power supply module, comprising an AMOLED display screen 1, a COF thin film device 2, and an FPC motherboard 3. The FPC motherboard 3 is connected to the AMOLED display screen 1 via the COF thin film device 2. The COF thin film device 2 has a display IC 21, and the FPC motherboard 3 has a capacitor-resistor component unit 31 and a POWER IC 32. The POWER IC 32 contains a first charge pump unit 321 and a second charge pump unit 322. The POWER IC 32 has an AVDD pin 323, an AVEE pin 324, a VGH pin 325, and a VGL pin 326, which provide voltage to the display IC 21.

[0029] Through the above structural design, since the boost circuit is separated from the display IC21, the area of ​​the display IC21 can be effectively reduced, the yield of the display IC21 can be improved, and thus the cost of the display IC21 can be reduced. Because the POWER IC provides AVDD, AVEE, VGH, and VGL voltages, efficiency and yield will be higher, voltage stability will be improved, and it can be more flexibly modified according to different AMOLEDs, catering to the market's development needs for AMOLED.
