TFT Display Application
light filter that modulates light transmitted from the back to
the front of a display. A pixel’s bottom plate lies on the
backside of a display where a light source is applied, and the
top plate lies on the front, facing the viewer. On a Twisted
Neumatic (TN) display, which is typical of most TFT displays,
a pixel transmits the greatest amount of light when V
less
increases with either a positive or negative polarity. In short,
an LCD pixel can be thought of as a capacitor, through
which, a controlled amount of light is transmitted by varying
V
Figure 2 is a simplified block diagram of a TFT display,
showing how individual pixels are connected to the row,
column, and V
pacitor with an NMOS transistor connected to its top plate.
Pixels in a TFT panel are arranged in rows and columns.
Row lines are connected to the NMOS gates, and column
lines to the NMOS sources. The back plate of every pixel is
connected to a common voltage called V

the Column Drivers supply this voltage via the column lines.
Column Drivers ‘write’ this voltage to the pixels one row at a
time, and this is accomplished by having the Row Drivers
select an individual row of pixels when their voltage levels
are transmitted by the Column Drivers. The Row Drivers
sequentially apply a large positive pulse (typically 25V to
35V) to each row line. This turns-on NMOS transistors con-
nected to an individual row, allowing voltages from the col-
umn lines to be transmitted to the pixels.

The V
the pixels in a TFT panel. V
lies in the middle of the column drivers’ output voltage range.
As a result, when the column drivers write to a row of pixels,
they apply voltages that are either positive or negative with
respect to V
each time its row is selected. This allows the column drivers
to apply an alternating voltage to the pixels rather than a DC
signal, which can ‘burn’ a pattern into an LCD display.
When column drivers write to the pixels, current pulses are
injected onto the V
ing stray capacitance between V
(see Figure 2), which ranges typically from 16pF to 33pF per
column. Pixel capacitance contributes very little to these
pulses because only one pixel at a time is connected to a
column, and the capacitance of a single pixel is on the order
of only 0.5pF. Each column line has a significant amount of
series resistance (typically 2kΩ to 40kΩ), so the stray ca-
pacitance is distributed along the entire length of a column.
This can be modeled by the multi-segment RC network
shown in Figure 3. The total capacitance between V
the column lines can range from 25nF to 100nF, and charg-
ing this capacitance can result in positive or negative current
pulses of 100mA, or more. In addition, a similar distributed
capacitance of approximately the same value exists be-
tween V
load is the sum of these distributed RC networks with a total
capacitance of 50nF to 200nF, and this load can modeled
like the circuit in Figure 3.

simplify the analysis of this driver, the distributed RC network
of Figure 3 has been reduced to a single RC load in Figure
4. This load places a large capacitance on the V
output, resulting in an additional pole in the op amp’s feed-
back loop. However, the op amp remains stable because
