Display device
View Patent ↗To provide a display device including a switching regulator type power generating circuit which realizes an increase in display quality by an output voltage being more stable, and by suppressing a flickering of a screen. A display device includes a switching regulator type direct current power generating circuit, wherein a period for which a switching element is turned on is determined in such a way as to increase or decrease by a given width when a code of an output voltage with respect to a setting voltage is constant, and the period is determined in such a way as to increase or decrease differently from the given width when the code changes.
1. A display device comprising:
a display panel; and
a power generating circuit which supplies an output voltage to the display panel,
the power generating circuit including:
a voltage raising circuit which generates the output voltage;
a switching element which drives the voltage raising circuit;
an on signal generating circuit which outputs a signal turning on the switching element to the switching element during an on period;
an output voltage detection circuit which detects a polarity of the output voltage of the voltage raising circuit with respect to setting voltage, and outputs a code; and
an on period determination unit which determines a length of the on period of a following cycle based on the code,
wherein the on period determination unit determines the on period of the following cycle in such a way that the length of the on period increases or decreases by a predetermined width in accordance with a timing at which the code is the same in two consecutive cycles,
and determines the on period of the following cycle in such a way that the length of the on period increases or decreases differently from the predetermined width in accordance with a timing at which the code differs in two consecutive cycles.
2. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the on period determination unit including a storage module which stores on period information,
the storage module stores one item of the on period information in accordance with a timing at which the code differs in two consecutive cycle periods.
3. A display device according to claim 1 , wherein the on period determination unit, in accordance with a timing at which the code differs in two consecutive cycle periods, determines the length of the on period by taking an average value of the on period corresponding to the timing and the on period stored in the storage module.
