## Background
The present invention claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. P2003-43808 filed in Korea on Jun. 30, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a display module and a driving apparatus thereof, and more particularly, to a liquid crystal display module and a driving apparatus thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are commonly used in display devices because of their light weight, thin profile, and low power consumption. For example, the LCD device are commonly used in office automation devices and audio/video devices. The LCD device displays images by adjusting light transmissivity according to image signals supplied to a plurality of control switches arranged in a matrix configuration.
Generally, LCD devices include an LCD module and a driving circuitry for driving the LCD module. The LCD module consists of an LCD panel having a plurality of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix configuration between two glass substrates, and a backlight unit for irradiating light onto the LCD panel. The LCD panel and the backlight unit are engaged with each other as an integral device so as to prevent light loss, and to prevent damage caused by external impact. Accordingly, there is provided a case for the LCD panel enclosing the back light unit including edges of the LCD panel.
There are two types of the back light units used with LCD panels: a direct-below-type; and an edge-type. The edge-type back light unit includes a fluorescent lamp installed at an exterior of a flat plate, wherein light produced by the fluorescent lamp is incident along an entire surface of the LCD panel through a transparent light guide plate. The direct-below-type back light unit has a light source arranged at a rear surface of the LCD panel, and directly radiates light along an entire surface of the LCD panel. As compared with the edge-type back light unit, the direct-below-type back light unit has an advantage that a plurality of light sources can be used, thereby improving brightness and increasing a light-emitting surface of the direct-below-type back light unit.
FIG. 1 is a perspective assembly view of an LCD module according to the related art, and FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view along I-I′ of FIG. 1 according to the related art. In FIGS. 1 and 2, an LCD module 1 includes a main support 14, a backlight unit 18, an LCD panel 6 stacked along an interior of the main support 14, and a case top 2 for enclosing edges of the LCD panel 6 and a side surface of the main support 14. Although not shown, an upper polarizing sheet is attached onto the upper substrate 5 of the LCD panel 6, and a lower polarizing sheet is attached onto a rear side of the lower substrate 3 of the LCD panel 6.
The LCD panel 6 includes an upper substrate 5 and a lower substrate 3, and a liquid crystal material injected between-the upper substrate 5 and the lower substrate 3. Although not shown, the LCD panel 6 is provided with a spacer for maintaining a uniform gap between the upper substrate 5 and the lower substrate 3.
The upper substrate 5 of the LCD panel 6 is provided with a color filter, a common electrode, and a black matrix (not shown), and the lower substrate 3 includes a plurality of signal lines (not shown), such as data lines and gate lines, and a thin film transistor (TFT) is formed at each intersection of the data lines and the gate lines. The TFT switches data signals to be transmitted along the data line to the liquid crystal cell in response to a scanning pulse (i.e., a gate pulse) transmitted along the gate line. In addition, a pixel electrode is formed at each pixel area defined by the intersection of the data line and the gate line.
One side of the lower substrate 3 is provided with a pad area connected-to each of the data line and the gate line. Although not shown, a tape carrier package (TCP), which includes a driver integrated circuit (IC) mounted thereon for supplying driving signals to the TFTs, is attached onto the pad area. The TCP supplies data signals from the driver IC to the data lines. In addition, the TCP supplies scanning signals to the gate lines.
In FIG. 1, the main support 14 is formed of a molded material, and its inner side wall surface is molded to have a step coverage face and a securing part, wherein the back light unit 18 and the LCD panel 6 are disposed on the step coverage face. The back light unit 18 is a direct below-type unit that irradiates light onto the LCD panel 6, wherein the LCD panel 6 and the back light unit 18 are stacked inside of the main support 14.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a back light unit of the LCD module of FIG. 1 according to the related art. In FIG. 3, the back light unit is a direct below-type back light unit and includes a plurality of lamps 20 irradiating light onto the LCD panel 6, a plurality of lamp holders 22 upon which the plurality of the lamps 20 are mounted, a diffuser 10 (in FIG. 1) diffusing incident light received from the plurality of the lamps 20 and irradiate the light onto the LCD panel 6, a lamp housing 18 arranged at a rear surface of the plurality of the lamps 20, and a plurality of optical sheets 8 stacked on the diffuser 10. The lamp housing 18 includes a reflection sheet 12 and a bottom cover 16 arranged on the rear surface of the reflection sheet 12.
Each of the plurality of lamps 20 is a cold cathode fluorescent lamp, wherein the lamps 20 include a glass tube, inert gases contained within the glass tube, and a cathode and an anode installed at opposite ends of the glass tube. The inert gases are injected into the glass tube, and phosphorus is applied to interior surfaces of the glass tube. The lamps 20 are grouped into an n-number of lamps (where n is a positive integer) which are mounted onto the lamp holder 22. Accordingly, the light generated from the lamps 20 is incident to the diffuser 10.
The diffuser 10 forces the light received from the lamps 20 to be directed toward a front surface of the LCD panel 6, thereby diffusing the light to produce a uniform distribution onto the LCD panel 6. The diffuser 10 includes a transparent resin film having opposing surfaces coated with light-diffusion materials.
In FIG. 3, the reflection sheet 12 is arranged along rear surfaces of the lamps 12, and has the same shape as the bottom cover 16. In addition, the reflection sheet 12 has a bottom surface overlapping the bottom surface of the bottom cover 16 and an inclination surface correspondingly bent to the inclination surface of the bottom cover 16. In addition, the bottom cover 16 has a bottom surface and an inclination surface extended from the bottom surface. For example, the bottom surface and the inclination surface of the bottom cover 16 are bent to have a stepped portion. Although not shown, the reflection sheet 12 is adhered to the bottom surface and the inclination surface of the bottom cover 16 by an adhesive tape. Accordingly, the reflection sheet 12 reflects light outgoing toward the rear surface and the side surface of the lamps 20 to the LCD panel 6, thereby improving light irradiation efficiency onto the LCD panel 6. In FIG. 3, the light radiated via the diffuser 10 is provided to the LCD panel 6 via the optical sheets 8 (in FIG. 1). The light radiated from the diffuser 10 provides diffused light, thereby increasing a viewing angle of the LCD panel 6. The efficiency of the light incident to the LCD panel 6 increases when the incident light is perpendicular to the LCD panel 6. Accordingly, the optical sheets 8 are disposed on the diffuser 10. The optical sheets 8 diffuse the light outgoing from the diffuser 10 and convert the light to be perpendicular to the LCD panel 6, thereby improving light efficiency.
In FIG. 2, the top case 2 has a square shape including a plane part and a side part bent perpendicularly to the plane part. Accordingly, the top case 2 serves to enclose the edges of the LCD panel 6 and the main support 14.
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of a color filter layer of the LCD module of FIG. 1 according to the related art. In FIG. 4, a color filter 25a has red R, green G, and blue B color pixels that are arranged in a stripe pattern, thereby transmitting light having specific wavelength bands to display colored light. Although not shown, a black matrix is formed between the red R, green G, and blue B color pixels of the color filter 25a. The black matrix separates the red R, green G, and blue B color pixels from each other and absorbs light received from an adjacent pixel, thereby preventing deterioration of image contrast.
Although not shown in FIG. 1, the LCD module 1 includes the color filter layer 25a and the back light unit of FIG. 3, wherein each of the colors of red R, green G, and blue B has a color wavelength band of more than 100 nm. In addition, wavelengths of other colors in addition to the colors of red R, green G, and blue B are produced, thereby deteriorating color purity, as shown in FIG. 5. However, in the LCD module 1, color purity of light passing through the color filter layer 25a is deteriorated to yield a low color representation ratio of 60% in comparison with a National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard, as shown in FIG. 6. Accordingly, increasing a thickness of the color filter 25a has been proposed to prevent the low color representation ratio. As a result, the color purity can be increased up to 80%. However, if the thickness of the color filter layer 25a is increased in order to increase the color purity, then the brightness of the LCD panel 6 is lowered by an amount of about 10% ̃about 20%, which results in a deteriorated display quality of the LCD module 1.
FIGS. 7A and 7B are schematic plan views of color filter layers of the LCD panel of FIG. 1 according to the related art. In FIGS. 7A and 7B, in order to prevent deterioration of brightness and increase the color representation ratio by raising the color purity, a four-color filter layer 25b includes a yellow color filter Y. Accordingly, the color representation ratio is increased up to 60% ̃70% in comparison with NTSC standard, as shown in FIG. 8A. Furthermore, if a five-color filter layer 25c includes a cyan color filter C, as shown in FIG. 7A, then the color representation ratio increases up to 70% ̃80% in comparison with NTSC standard, as shown in FIG. 8B. Moreover, if a six-color filter layer includes a magenta color filter M (not shown) color, then the color representation ratio increases up to more than 80% in comparison with NTSC standard.
However, if the color filter layers 25b and 25c are applied to the LCD panel 6 of FIG. 1, aperture ratio decreases, as shown in Table 1. If the aperture ratio decreases, then light efficiency of the LCD module 1 is reduced. Thus, display quality deteriorates.

In addition, since the number of data ICs increases as the number of color pixels increases, production costs for the LCD module 1 increases. Moreover, since processes for forming the color filter layers 25b and 25c are complicated, low yield of the LCD module 1 results.

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 9 is a perspective assembly view of an LCD module according to the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view along II-II′ of FIG. 9 according to the present invention. In FIGS. 9 and 10, an LCD module 100 may include a main support 114, a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display-panel 106 stacked at an interior of the main support 114, and a case top 102 for enclosing edges of the LCD panel 106 and side surfaces of the main support 14.
The LCD panel 106 may include an upper substrate 105 and a lower substrate 103, and a liquid crystal material injected between the upper substrate 105 and the lower substrate 103. Although not shown, the LCD panel 106 may be provided with a spacer for maintaining a uniform gap between the upper substrate 105 and the lower substrate 103.
The upper substrate 105 of the LCD panel 106 may be provided with a color filter, a common electrode, and a black matrix (not shown), and the lower substrate 103 may include a plurality of signal lines (not shown), such as data lines and gate lines, and a thin film transistor (TFT) may be formed at each intersection between the data lines and the gate lines. The TFT may switch data signals transmitted along the data lines to a liquid crystal cell in response to scanning pulses (i.e., gate pulses) transmitted along the gate lines. In addition, a pixel electrode may be formed at a pixel area between the data lines and the gate lines.
One side of the lower substrate 103 may be provided with a pad area connected to each of the data lines and the gate lines. Although not shown, a TCP, which may include a driver IC for supplying driving signals to the TFTs, may be attached onto the pad area. Accordingly, the TCP may supply data signals from the driver IC to the data lines, and the TCP may supply scanning signals to the gate lines.
Although not shown, an upper polarizing sheet may be attached onto an upper substrate 105 of the LCD panel 106, and a lower polarizing sheet may be attached onto of a rear side of the lower substrate 103 of the LCD panel 106.
The main support 114 may be formed of a molded material whose inner side wall surface may be molded to have a stepped coverage face. In addition, a securing part of the main support 114 in which the back light unit and the LCD panel 106 are disposed may be formed on the stepped coverage face. Accordingly, the back light unit and the LCD panel 106 may be stacked at an interior of the main support 114.
FIG. 11A is a perspective view of an exemplary back light unit of the LCD module of FIG. 9 according to the present invention, and FIG. 11B is a perspective view of an exemplary light emitting diode array of the back light unit of FIG. 11A according to the present invention. In FIG. 11A, a back light unit of the LCD module 106 may include a plurality of lamps 120 irradiating light onto the LCD panel 106, a plurality of lamp holders 122 upon which the lamps 120 may be fixedly mounted, a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) arrays 130 arranged between the lamps 120, a diffuser 110 diffusing incident light from the lamps 120 and the LED array 130 to irradiate the light onto the LCD panel 106, a lamp housing 118 arranged along rear surfaces of the lamps 20 and rear surfaces of the LED array 130, and a plurality of optical sheets 108 stacked on the diffuser 110 (in FIG. 9). In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the top case 102 may have a planar part and a side part bent perpendicularly to the planar part such that the top case 102 may be fabricated in a square band shape. Thus, the top case 102 may enclose the edges of the liquid crystal display panel 106 and the main support 114.
The lamps 120 may include cold cathode fluorescent lamps, where each of the lamps 120 may include a glass tube, inert gases contained within the glass tube, and a cathode and an anode installed at opposing ends of the glass tube. The inert gases may be injected into the glass tube, and phosphorus may be applied to interior surfaces of the glass tube. In addition, the lamps 120 may be grouped into an N-number of lamps (where n is a positive integer), wherein each lamp group may be fixedly mounted onto the lamp holder 122. Accordingly, the light generated from the lamps 120 may be incident to the diffuser 110.
In FIG. 11B, each of the LED arrays 130 may include a plurality of LEDs 132 and a printed circuit board (PCB) 134 having a circuit for controlling light emitted from the LEDs 13. Each of the LEDs 132 may generate inherent colored light, such as red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, or white light, as a point light source. The PCB 134 may support the LEDs 132 and may have driving circuitry mounted thereon to control the light emitted from the LED 132. Accordingly, the light emitted from the LED 132 may be incident to the diffuser 110 (in FIG. 9).
In FIG. 9, the light emitted from the LEDs 132 and lamps 120 may proceed toward bottom and side surfaces of the lamps 120 and the LED array 130 and may be reflected by the reflection sheet 112. Accordingly, the light may proceed toward the diffuser 110. The diffuser 110 may force the light received from the lamps 120 and the LED arrays 130 to be directed toward a front surface of the LCD panel 106, and may diffuse the light to produce a uniform light distribution onto the LCD panel 106. The diffuser 110 may include a transparent resin film having opposing surfaces coated with a light-diffusion material.
In FIG. 11A, the lamp housing 118 may include the reflection sheet 112 and a bottom cover 116 arranged on the rear surface of the reflection sheet 112. The reflection sheet 112 may be arranged on the rear surfaces of the lamps 120 and the LED arrays 130, and may be made of a light reflecting material having the same shape as the bottom cover 116. In addition, the reflection sheet 112 may have a bottom surface overlapping a bottom surface of the bottom cover 116 and an inclination surface correspondingly bent to the inclination surface of the bottom cover 116. The reflection sheet 112 may be adhered to the bottom and inclination surfaces of the bottom cover 116 by an adhesive tape (not shown). Accordingly, the reflection sheet 112 may reflect the light outgoing toward the rear and side surfaces of the lamps 120 onto the LCD panel 106, thereby improving light efficiency irradiated onto the LCD panel 106.
In FIG. 9, the light radiated via the diffuser 110 may be provided onto the LCD panel 106 via a plurality of optical sheets 108, and the light radiated from the diffuser 110 may increase a viewing angle of the LCD module 100. Since the efficiency of light increases when the incident light is perpendicular to the LCD panel 106, the optical sheets 108 may be arranged on the diffuser 110. Each of the optical sheets 108 may diffuse the light outgoing from the diffuser 110 and transform the light to be perpendicular to the LCD panel 106 in order to improve the light efficiency. Accordingly, the light outgoing from the diffuser 110 reaches to the LCD panel 106 via the optical sheet 108.
FIG. 13 is a plan view of an exemplary back light unit according to the present invention. In FIG. 13, a back light unit may include a plurality of the lamps 120 and a plurality of the LED arrays 130, wherein each of LED arrays 130 may have a plurality of white LEDs 132 emitting white light onto the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15). Accordingly, the LCD module 100 (in FIG. 9) may improve color representation ratio up to a level of about 80% in comparison with the NTSC standard by increasing the color purity. Moreover, the LCD module 100 (in FIG. 9) may improve brightness of the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15) by arranging the white LEDs 132 to emit the white light onto the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15). As a result, brightness of the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15) may be improved, thereby improving display quality of the LCD module 100 (in FIG. 9).
FIG. 14A is a schematic plan view of an exemplary color filter layer according to the present invention. In FIG. 14A, an LCD module may include a color filter 125a having three color pixels of red R, green G, and blue B in order to maximize an aperture ratio of the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 18). The color filter 125a may include color pixels of red R, green G, and blue B arranged in a stripe-type alignment. The color filter 125a may transmit light having specific wavelength bands to produce different colors of light. Although not shown, a black matrix may be formed between the color pixels of red R, green G, and blue B of the color filter 125a to absorb any light that may enter from adjacent pixels, thereby preventing deterioration of image color contrast.
If the color filter 125a is applied to the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15), then a color representation ratio of about 60% ̃70% is produced, as compared with the NTSC standard shown in FIG. 12A. If a thickness of the color filter 125a is increased to raise color purity, then the color representation ratio can be improved up to about 80% in comparison with the NTSC standard, as shown in FIG. 12B. If the color purity of the color filter 125a is increased, then each color of red R, green G, and blue B may have a color wavelength band of about 30nm, as shown in FIG. 14B. If the color representation ratio is improved by increasing the color purity, then a large amount of wavelengths corresponding to colors other than the red R, green G, and blue B colors may be removed. Accordingly, the color purity of each of red R, green G, and blue B colors may be increased. However, if the color representation ratio is improved by increasing the color purity of the color filter 125a, then a brightness of the LCD panel 106 (in FIG. 15) may be lowered by about 10% ̃about 20%.
FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary driving apparatus of an LCD module according to the present invention. In FIG. 15, a driving apparatus may include an LCD panel 106, a plurality of lamps 120 to irradiate light onto the LCD panel 106, a plurality of white LEDs 132 to emit white light, a lamp driver 140 to drive the lamps 120, a white LED driver 150 to drive the white LEDs 132, a frame memory 196 to receive image data from an external source and to store the image data by a frame unit, and a controller 190 to control the LCD panel 106, the lamp driver 140, and the white LED driver 150 in accordance with the image data detected from the image data stored in the frame memory 196. The LCD panel 106 may display images by using the light emitted from the lamps 120 and the white LEDs 132. Detailed explanation on the lamps 120 and the white LEDs 132 may be found above with respect to description of FIGS. 9 to 11B.
The controller 190 may include a pattern analyzer 192 receiving the image data stored in the frame memory 196 by a frame unit and detecting bright data from the image data, and a control signal generator 194 generating a control signal for controlling the lamp driver 140 and the white LED driver 150 in accordance with a result analyzed by the pattern analyzer 192. Furthermore, the controller 190 may supply the image data from the frame memory 196 to the LCD panel 106 to control a driving timing for the LCD panel 106. The controller 190 may generate a lamp driving signal LDS1 for driving the lamps 120 and may supply the signal LDS1 to the lamp driver 140. In addition, the controller 190 may generate an LED driving signal. LDS2 for driving the white LEDs 132 to supply the signal LDS2 to the white LED driver 150.
In FIG. 15, the pattern analyzer 192 may analyze the image data by frame unit stored in the frame memory 196 to detect bright image data from the image data. Accordingly, the pattern analyzer 192 may generate a detection signal corresponding to a brightness level and location information on the detected bright image data. In response to the detection signal from the pattern analyzer 192, the control signal generator 194 may supply the LED driving signal LDS2 to the white LED driver 150, wherein the signal LDS2 may be used to light-emit the white LEDs 132 among the white LEDs 132 associated with the location information on the bright image data.
The lamp driver 140 may turn ON the lamps 120 in response to the lamp driving signal LDS1 from the controller 190. In addition, the lamp driver 140 may continually turn ON the lamps 120, or may sequentially turn ON the lamps 120 in accordance with by a driving method of a scanning back light.
The white LED driver 150 may operate the white LEDs 132 relevant to the location of the bright image data among the image data in response to the LED driving signal LDS2 from the controller 190. Accordingly, the white light emitted from the white LEDs 132 may be irradiated onto the LCD panel 106, thereby improving a brightness of the LCD panel 106.
In addition, specific image data among the image data may cause a momentarily bright display within a particular region in the LCD panel 106. For example, the image data may be momentarily displayed with a peak brightness by using the light emitted from the white LEDs 132, thereby displaying a relatively high brightness image. Thus, it is possible to improve the display quality of the LCD module.
FIG. 16 is a plan view of another exemplary back light unit according to the present invention. In FIG. 16, a liquid crystal display module may include a direct-below-type back light unit including a plurality of lamps 220 and a plurality of LED arrays 230, thereby improving color representation ratio and brightness. Each of the LED arrays 230 may include a plurality of LEDs 232 each of which may emit its own unique coherent color. The LEDs 232 may include a plurality of yellow LEDs 232a to emit yellow colored light and a plurality of cyan LEDs 232b to emit cyan colored light.
