DISPLAY MODULE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and more particularly relates to a driving module and a display device.BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements here only provide background information related to this application, and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] With a fiercer competition in a LCD panel industry, major panel manufacturers have become tighter in cost control. In terms of cost management, both a production cost of panel glass and a cost of peripheral electronic components are key points of control. Like a structure of two side strip control boards used in a liquid crystal driving module of a full high definition display panel, a timing controller, a gamma chip, a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) chip, a memory chip and the like can be placed in one main side strip control board, while there are almost no important electronic components on the other side strip control board.

[0004] When adopting the PWM chip, it can output several binding-point voltages, the several binding-point voltages are often used to generate other required binding-point voltages by using resistors to dividing the voltages. Then one half of the binding-point voltages is outputting to data driving chips on the main side strip control board for a gamma compensation, and the other half of the binding-point voltages is outputting to the other side strip control board via a FFC (Flexible Flat Cable), and correspondingly outputting to data driving chips on the other side strip control board. Taking a common 14 gamma binding-point voltage as an example, the FFC with 7 metal wires is required to transmit the binding-point voltages to the other side strip control board, and the FFC cost is high, thus further leading a high cost of the overall display product.SUMMARY

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a driving module and a display device.

[0006] According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a driving module may be according to claim 1.

[0007] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a display device may be according to claim 13.

[0008] The display device includes a display panel and a driving module described above, wherein the driving module is configured to drive the display panel to display.

[0009] With the driving module provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the connecting cable provided with two metal wires is needed to realize a generation and an output of positive and negative binding-point voltages, and a cost is low.

[0012] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the related accompanying drawings. Preferable embodiments of the present disclosure are presented in the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the understanding of the content of the present disclosure will be more thorough.

[0013] It should be noted that when an element is considered being "connected" to another element, it is either directly connected to an element or indirectly connected to an element with a mediating element. The terms "install", "one terminal", "another terminal", and the like are used herein for illustrative purposes only.

[0014] All technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure applies, unless otherwise defined. The terms used in the specification of present disclosure herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0015] For the method as described in the background, it is necessary to consider whether the voltage-dividing resistors have a commonly used material, whether the wiring space is sufficient (usually use surface mounting type components with 0402 package specifications to save space), and the most important thing is whether the currents of the voltage-dividing branches can meet the driving capability of the data driving chips, when the driving capability required by the data driving chips cannot be met, the driving capability of the binding-point voltages needs to be amplified.

[0016] Taking the case of 14 binding-point voltage as an example, 1-th, 7-th, 8-th, and 14-th binding-point voltages are generated by a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) chip, and then the 1-th and 7-th binding-point voltages are used to perform voltage division to obtain 2-th, 3-th, 4-th, 5-th, and 6-th voltage-divided binding-point voltages. Similarly, the 8-th and 14-th binding-point voltages can be used to perform voltage division to generate 9-th, 10-th, 11-th, 12-th and 13-th voltage-divided binding-point voltages. Since these 10 voltages are obtained by the voltage divisions, their corresponding output currents may not meet the requirements for the driving capability required by the data driving chips, therefore the voltage-divided binding-point voltage needs to be amplified. In the full high definition display device and the like, two control boards are generally used to form a drive module. One of the control boards performs voltage division to generate the above 10 binding-point voltages. Five operational amplifier channels self-contained in the three data driving chips on the control board can be used to amplify the driving capability of the 2-th, 3-th, 4-th, 5-th, and 6-th voltage-divided binding-point voltages. Then the remaining 9-th, 10-th, 11-th, 12-th, and 13-th voltage-divided binding-point voltages need to be transmitted to the five operational amplifier channels self-contained in the three data driving chips on the other piece of control board, thus five more pins are required in the FFC to be used to transmit the 9-th, 10-th, 11-th, 12-th, and 13-th voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and a cost of the FFC is increased, thereby increasing a cost of a display device 2 (as shown in FIG. 7) as a whole.

[0017] Based on foregoing problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving module 1 as shown in FIG. 1, which includes: a first control board 10, provided with a binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 and M first data driving circuits 12; the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 outputs two first voltages, two second voltages, and N first voltage-divided binding-point voltages; the first voltages, the second voltages, and first voltage-divided binding-point voltages are inputted into an i-th first data driving circuit 12; the i-th first data driving circuit 12 outputs a K i first amplified binding-point voltage according to a K i first voltage-divided binding-point voltage; each of the first data driving circuits 12 further receives other first amplified blinding-point voltages outputted from others of the first data driving circuits 12; ∑ i = 1 M K i = N , K i , N, and M are all positive integers, and a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage inputted into each of the first data driving circuits 12 is different from each other; a connecting cable 20, which includes a first metal wire 21 and a second metal wire 22; one of the second voltages is correspondingly inputted into each of a first end 211 of the first metal wire 21 and a first end 221 of the second metal wire 22 respectively; and a second control board 30, provided with a first voltage-dividing module 31 and P second data driving circuits 32; a first input terminal 311 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is connected to a second end 212 of the first metal wire 21, a second input terminal 312 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is connected to a second end 222 of the second metal wire 22, and the first voltage-dividing module 31 outputs N second voltage-divided binding-point voltages according to the two second voltages; the first voltages, the second voltages, and a K j second voltage-divided binding-point voltage are inputted into a j-th second data driving circuit 32; the j-th second data driving circuit 32 outputs a K j second amplified binding-point voltage according to the K j second voltage-divided binding-point voltage; each of the second data driving circuits 32 further receives other second amplified blinding-point voltages outputted from others of the second data driving circuits 32; ∑ j = 1 P K j = N , K j and P are all positive integers, and a second voltage-divided binding-point voltage inputted into each of the second data driving circuits 32 is different from each other; the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages have a polarity opposite to that of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages, the first voltages have a polarity same as that of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and the second voltages have a polarity same as that of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages.

[0018] The first voltage-divided binding-point voltages and the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages refer to binding-point voltages generated by the voltage divisions. In other words, each of the first amplified binding-point voltages refers to the binding-point voltage outputted by the first data driving circuits 12, for example, outputted after amplification in current or only after data transmission, and there is a one-to-one correspondence relationship between the first amplified binding-point voltages and the input first voltage-divided binding-point voltages. Similarly, each of the second amplified binding-point voltages refers to the binding-point voltage outputted by the second data driving circuits 32, for example, outputted after amplification in current or only after data transmission. The above various binding-point voltages are voltages used to perform gamma compensation on the data signals, thereby finally driving the display panel 2 to display. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, taking the common 14 binding-point voltage as an example, the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 outputs two first voltages γ1 and γ7, two second voltages γ8 and γ14, and five first voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ2, γ3, γ4, γ5, and γ6. Since the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ2 to γ6 are generated by the voltage divisions, their corresponding current driving capabilities may not meet the requirements for data driving. The first voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ2 to γ6 are respectively sent to each of the first data driving circuits 12 on the first control board 10 to amplify the driving capabilities of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ2 to γ6 and then first amplified binding-point voltages γ2', γ3', γ4', γ5' and γ6' are outputted. The first amplified binding-point voltages γ2', γ3', γ4', γ5', γ6', and the first voltages γ1, γ7, which form a set of positive polarity binding-point voltages, are transmitted to each of the first data driving circuits 12 and each of the second data driving circuits 32. The second voltages γ8 and γ14 are transmitted to the second control board 30 via two metal wires being the first metal wire 21 and the second metal wire 22 on the connecting cable 20, and are voltage divided on the second control board 30 to obtain five second voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ9, γ10, γ11, γ12 and γ13. Similarly, since the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ9 to γ13 are also voltages generated by the voltage divisions, their driving capabilities may not meet the requirements for data driving. The second voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ9 to γ13 are sent to the second data driving circuits 32 on the second control board 30 to amplify the driving capabilities of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages γ9 to γ13 and then second amplified binding-point voltages γ9', γ10', γ11', γ12' and γ13' are outputted. The second amplified binding-point voltages γ9', γ10', γ11', γ12', γ13', and the second voltages γ8, γ14, which form a set of negative polarity binding-point voltages, are sent to each of the first data driving circuits 12 and each of the second data driving circuits 32, so as to ensure that each first data driving circuit 12 and each second data driving circuit 32 receive 7 positive polarity binding-point voltages and 7 negative polarity binding-point voltages to drive the display panel 2 to display. On the premise of meeting requirements for a data driving capability, only the connecting cable 20 provided with the two metal wires is needed to achieve compensations on the binding-point voltages, the cost of the connecting cable 20 is reduced, thereby reducing the costs of the driving module 1 and the display device 2 as a whole. The connecting cable 20 may be the FFC or the like.

[0019] In the driving module 1 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 on the first control board 10 is used to output the first voltages, the second voltages, and the N first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and the two second voltages are transmitted to the second control board 30 through the first metal wire 21 and the second metal wire 22 on the connecting cable 20, after being voltage divided by the first voltage-dividing module 31 on the second control board 30, the N second voltage-divided binding-point voltages are generated. The first voltage-divided binding-point voltages are inputted into each of the first data driving circuits 12, the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage inputted to each of the first data driving circuits 12 is different from each other, and each first data driving circuit 12 outputs the first amplified binding-point voltages having a same number as the number of the inputted first voltage-divided binding-point voltages. Similarly, the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages are inputted into each of the second data driving circuits 32, each of the second data driving circuits 32 outputs second amplified binding-point voltages having a same number as the number of the inputted second voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages inputted to each of the second data driving circuits 32 are also different from each other. To ensure that each of the data driving circuits can normally drive the display panel 2 to display, the first voltages, the second voltages, the first amplified binding-point voltages outputted by others of the first data driving circuits 12, and each of the second amplified binding-point voltages need to be inputted into each of the first data driving circuits 12. Similarly, the first voltages, the second voltages, the first amplified binding-point voltages, and the second amplified binding-point voltages outputted by others of the second data driving circuits 32 need to be inputted into each of the second data driving circuits 32. With the drive module 1 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the connecting cable 20, which can be a flexible flat cable, provided with the two metal wires, is needed to generate and output positive and negative binding-point voltages, and a cost is low.

[0020] In one of the embodiments, the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 includes a reference-voltage generating circuit 111 configured to output the above first voltages and the above second voltages and a second voltage-dividing module 112 configured to output the above first voltage-divided binding-point voltages according to the two first voltages.

[0021] The reference-voltage generating circuit 111 is a chip that can generate a plurality of different voltages. The second voltage-dividing module 112 is a circuit that can realize voltage division. Specifically, the reference-voltage generating circuit 111 outputs the two first voltages and sends them to the second voltage-dividing module 112, and the second voltage-dividing module 112 performs voltage division on the two first voltages to output a plurality of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages. The two first voltages and a plurality of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages constitute the positive polarity (or the negative polarity) binding-point voltages. Meanwhile, the two second voltages outputted by the reference-voltage generating circuit 111 are transmitted to the first voltage-dividing module 31 through the connecting cable 20, and the first voltage-dividing module 31 performs voltage division on the two second voltages to output a plurality of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages. The two second voltages and a plurality of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages constitute the negative polarity (or positive polarity) binding-point voltages. The processes for the positive polarity binding-point voltages and the negative polarity binding-point voltages are performed on the first control board 10 and the second control board 30 respectively to output the binding-point voltages that can meet the requirements for the data driving capability, so as to drive the data to display. The reference-voltage generating circuit 111 may be the PWM chip.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages are within a voltage range between the two first voltages. The two first voltages are different magnitudes, and the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, which are generated through performing voltage division according to the two first voltages by the second voltage-dividing module 112, are greater than the first voltage being a smaller voltage value and smaller than the first voltage being a larger voltage value.

[0023] In one of the embodiments, the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages are within a voltage range between the two second voltages. Regarding the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages, same as the above first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, their values does not exceed the voltage range between the two second voltages.

[0024] In one of the embodiments, each of the first data driving circuits 12 includes: a plurality of first operational amplifiers 121, configured to be fixed on a first chip on film 123 and electrically connected to the first chip on film 123, each of the first operational amplifiers 121 is configured to output one of the first amplified binding-point voltage according to one of inputted the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage input, and a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage inputted into each of the first operational amplifiers 121 are different from each other; and a first processor 122, configured to be fixed on the first chip on film 123 and electrically connected to the first chip on film 123, and the first voltages, the second voltages, each of the first amplified binding-point voltages, and each of the second amplified binding-point voltages are inputted into the first processor 122.

[0025] The first operational amplifiers 121 may be voltage followers or other operational amplifiers with current amplification capability. Each of the first chip on films 123 is equipped with the first data driving circuit 12 thereon, and the first data driving circuit 12 has a plurality of the first operational amplifiers 121 and the first processor 122. With operational amplification capability self-contained in each of the first data driving circuits 12, the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages generated by voltage division are respectively sent to each of the respective first operational amplifiers 121 to be processed by amplification (if the driving capability is insufficient, it needs to be operationally amplified before being output) or to be processed by data transmission (if the driving capability can meet the requirements, it can be transmitted with equal value through the operational amplifier), to generate the first amplified binding-point voltages, so as to ensure that the driving capabilities of the binding-point voltages for compensating data signals can meet the requirements for driving the display panel 2. An output terminal of the first processor 122 is connected to the display panel 2. The first processor 122 receives the first voltages, the second voltages, the second amplified binding-point voltages , the first amplified binding-point voltages, and the 14-th binding-point voltage or 16-th binding-point voltage that can meet the requirements for data driving, so as to drive the display panel 2 to display.

[0026] In one of the embodiments, each of the first data driving circuits 12 includes two first operational amplifiers 121. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the first data driving circuits 12 includes two first operational amplifiers 121. For a display panel that needs to use the 14-th binding-point voltage for compensation, three first data driving circuits 12 can be disposed on the first control board 10. The five first voltage-divided binding-point voltages obtained by voltage division are divided into two first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, two first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and one first voltage-divided binding-point voltage, and are respectively transmitted to the first data driving circuits 12, so as to be connected to input terminals of the first operational amplifiers 121 in a one to one correspondence.

[0027] In one of the embodiments, each of the second data driving circuits 32 includes: a plurality of second operational amplifiers 321, configured to be fixed on a second chip on film 323 and electrically connected to the second chip on film 323, one of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages is inputted into an input terminal of each of the second operational amplifiers 321, and a second voltage-divided binding-point voltages inputted into each of the second operational amplifiers 321 are different from each other; an output terminal of each of the second operational amplifiers 321 outputs a second amplified binding-point voltage corresponding to the second voltage-divided binding-point voltage; and a second processor 322, configured to be fixed on the second chip on film 323 and electrically connected to the second chip on film 323, and the first voltages, the second voltages, a third voltage, a fourth voltage, each of the first amplified binding-point voltages, and each of the second amplified binding-point voltages are inputted into the second processor 322.

[0028] The interpretation of the second data driving circuit 32 is the same as that of the first data driving circuit 12 in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated herein. Those skilled in the art can know a working process of the second data driving circuit 32 according to a working principle of the first data driving circuit 12.

[0029] In one of the embodiments, each of the second data driving circuits 32 includes two second operational amplifiers 321. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the second data driving circuits 32 includes two second operational amplifiers 321. For the display panel that needs to use the 14-th binding-point voltage for compensation, three second data driving circuits 32 can be disposed on the second control board 30, the five second voltage-divided binding-point voltages obtained by voltage division are divided into two second voltage-divided binding-point voltages, two second voltage-divided binding-point voltages, and one second voltage-divided binding-point voltage, and are respectively transmitted to the second data driving circuits 32, so as to be connected to input terminals of the second operational amplifiers 321 in a one to one correspondence.

[0030] In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, a first-type output terminal 113 of the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 is connected to a non-inverting input terminal 1211 of a corresponding first operational amplifier 121, and an inverting input terminal 1212 of the first operational amplifier 121 is connected to its own output terminal 1213; a second-type output terminal 114 of the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 is connected to the inverting input terminal 1212 of the corresponding first operational amplifier 121, and the inverting input terminal 1212 of the first operational amplifier 121 is connected to its own output terminal 1213, and the non-inverting input terminal 1211 of the first operational amplifier 121 is grounded. A current corresponding to a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage outputted by the first-type output terminal 113 of the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 is less than a preset driving current, and a current corresponding to a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage outputted by the second-type output terminal 114 of the binding-point voltage generating circuit 11 is greater than the preset driving current, the preset driving current is configured to characterize a driving capability required by the display panel 2.

[0031] The preset driving current may be a minimum current required for driving the display panel 2. If a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage generated by voltage division does not meet the requirements for a current of data driving, then the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage needs to be amplified in driving capability. The first voltage-divided binding-point voltage is inputted into the non-inverting input terminal 1211 of the first operational amplifier 121, the inverting input terminal 1212 and the output terminal 1213 of the first operational amplifier 121 are connected to form a negative feedback, and the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage is amplified by the first operational amplifier 121 and then a first amplified binding-point voltage is outputted, and the current driving capability is amplified. If a first voltage-divided binding-point voltage can meet the requirements for a current of data driving, then the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage has no need to be signal amplified. The first voltage-divided binding-point voltage is inputted into the inverting input terminal 1212 of the first operational amplifier 121, and the non-inverting input terminal 1211 is grounded, such that a non-inverting input of the first operational amplifier 121 is zero, and the voltage-divided binding-point voltage is directly outputted via the inverting input terminal 1212 of the first operational amplifier 121 to generate a first amplified binding-point voltage, and a amplification factor is 1, in other words, it plays a role of signal transmission. With the structure of the driving module 1 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, different connection relationships can be established with the first operational amplifier 121 according to the driving capabilities of each of the voltage-divided binding-point voltages, thus the amplification function can be activated or not, which is suitable for various types of display panels.

[0032] In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, a first-type output terminal 313 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is connected to a non-inverting input terminal 3211 of a corresponding second operational amplifier 321, and an inverting input terminal 3212 of the second operational amplifier 321 is connected to its own output terminal 3213; a second-type output terminal 314 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is connected to the inverting input terminal 3212 of the corresponding second operational amplifier 321, and the inverting input terminal 3212 of the second operational amplifier 321 is connected to its own output terminal 3213, and the non-inverting input terminal 3211 of the second operational amplifier 321 is grounded. A current corresponding to the second voltage-divided binding-point voltage outputted by the first-type output terminal 313 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is less than a preset driving current, and a current corresponding to the second voltage-divided binding-point voltage outputted by the second-type output terminal 314 of the first voltage-dividing module 31 is greater than the preset driving current.

[0033] For each of the second voltage-divided binding-point voltages generated by voltage division by the first voltage-dividing module 31, it has the same implementation process as that of the amplification or non-amplification of the voltage-divided binding-point voltage in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here. According to whether a current corresponding to a second voltage-divided binding-point voltage can meet the requirements for data driving capability, different connection relationships with the second operational amplifier 321 can be established to achieve amplification or non-amplification in current, so as to output a set of binding-point voltages that can meet the requirements for driving the display panel.

[0034] In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the second voltage-dividing module 112 includes a plurality of voltage-dividing resistors R connected in series, and the two first voltages are respectively inputted into two ends of the one or more voltage-dividing resistors R. One of first voltage-divided binding-point voltage is outputted between every two adjacent voltage-dividing resistors R. Taking the 5 first voltage-divided binding-point voltages in FIG. 5 as an example, the reference voltage generating circuit 111 outputs the two first voltages γ1 and γ7, and the two first voltages γ1 and γ7 are inputted into two ends of a unit consisting of the one or more voltage-dividing resistors R to provide a reference voltage for the seven voltage-dividing resistors (R1 to R7), and one of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltage is outputted between every two adjacent voltage-dividing resistors R.

[0035] In one of the embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the first voltage-dividing module 31 includes a plurality of voltage-dividing resistors R connected in series, and the two second voltages are respectively inputted into two ends of the one or more voltage-dividing resistors R. One of second voltage-divided binding-point voltage is outputted between every two adjacent voltage-dividing resistors R. Taking the 5 second voltage-divided binding-point voltages in FIG. 6 as an example, the reference-voltage generating circuit 111 outputs the two second voltages γ8 and γ14, and the two second voltages γ8 and γ14 are inputted into two ends of a unit consisting of the one or more voltage-dividing resistors R to provide a reference voltage for the seven voltage-dividing resistors (R8 to R14), and one of second voltage-divided binding-point voltage is outputted between every two adjacent voltage-dividing resistors R.

[0036] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display device 100, which includes a display panel 2 and the above driving module 1, and the driving module 1 is configured to drive the display panel 2 to display.

[0037] The definitions of the first voltage-divided binding-point voltages, the first voltage-dividing module 31 and the like are the same as those in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated herein. In the display device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, only the connecting cable 20 provided with the two metal wires is needed to realize the generation and transmission of the positive and negative polarity binding-point voltages, and the cost is low. Furthermore, by using the operational amplifier self-contained on each of the data driving circuits, the volume and the consumables can be further reduced.

[0038] The above embodiments merely illustrate several embodiments of the present disclosure, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but it shall not be constructed as limiting the scope of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of this disclosure, several modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope as defined by appended claims.
