微發光二極體（Micro LED）為目前新一代的顯示器，與現有TFT-LCD和OLED技術相比，Micro LED顯示器可以提供卓越的影像品質和省電效能。其應用範圍小至1吋以下、大至100吋以上，而針對不同的應用如擴增實境（AR）、虛擬實境（VR）至大型智慧看板等，若使用適合的製程技術，即可讓產品發揮更多元化的功能。而在小尺寸應用上，主要導入AR及VR產品，其皆屬於頭戴式裝置，故使用時需要離眼睛距離相當近，除了反應速度要求快以外，其最佳畫素量需求為2000ppi以上，正好為Micro LED的優勢。
此篇論文即是應用於高解析度之矽基Micro LED面板驅動電路，其面板採用CMOS的優勢包括元件性能、高整合度以及Micro LED直接堆疊在電路上的短距離連接，使得Micro LED 與電子元件所佔據的表面積最小化。由於Micro LED顯示器需要高效率來提供更明亮的影像，還需要更快的速度以支援不斷提升的高解析度需求，因此驅動電路的設計上必須在固定的畫面更新時間內，啟動數十萬甚至百萬的畫素進行供電。此論文為實現一微型顯示器驅動電路，其具備1280 × 720解析度與每秒90畫面之Silicon-based Micro LED driver。於此論文中採用TSMC 0.18µm製程與6.4µm寬度之畫素設計來達到近4000 PPI之高解析度，並採用PWM調變方式達成10-bit灰階亮度。

Micro light-emitting diode (Micro LED) is the next generation of display. Compared with existing TFT-LCD and OLED technologies, Micro LED displays can provide superior image quality and power saving performance. Its application range is as small as 1 inch or less and as large as 100 inches or more. For different applications, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and large smart signage, etc., if the appropriate process technology is used, the product can play more diverse functions. For small-size applications, AR and VR products are mainly introduced, which are all head-mounted devices. Therefore, it needs to be quite close to the eyes when using it. In addition to the fast response speed, its optimal pixel quantity requirement is more than 2000ppi, which is exactly the advantage of Micro LED.
This thesis is a high-resolution silicon-based Micro LED panel driver circuit. The advantages of using CMOS on its panel include component performance, high integration, and short-distance connection of Micro LED directly stacked on the circuit, which minimizes the surface area occupied by Micro LED and electronic components. Because Micro LED displays require high efficiency to provide brighter images, they also need faster speeds to support the increasing demand for high resolution. Therefore, the design of the driving circuit must start hundreds of thousands or even millions of pixels to supply power within a fixed screen update time. This thesis is to realize a Micro LED display driver circuit, which has a silicon-based Micro LED driver with 1280 × 720 resolution and 90 frames per second. In this thesis, the pixel design of TSMC 0.18µm process and 6.4µm pitch is used to achieve a high resolution of nearly 4000 PPI, and PWM method is used to achieve 10-bit gray level.
