Fully Digital Driving Circuit for TFT LCD Using the Concept of Ramp-Stop

Abstract

A fully digital driving circuit for thin-film transistor liquid crystal display can offer benefits, including less power consumption and a shortened design schedule. Using the pulsewidth signal to control the moment to stop the ramp voltage, the pixel voltage can be set accurately. In this paper, the possible issues of power consumption, device nonuniformity, and parasitic capacitance are well-studied to prove the feasibility and advantages of the digital driving method. It is prospectively expected to substitute for the conventional analog driving method in the future.
