Description
本申请涉及显示器件领域,具体涉及一种显示装置及其像素电路和驱动方法。
有机发光二极管(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,OLED)显示因具有高亮度、高发光效率、宽视角和低功耗等优点,近年来被人们广泛研究,并迅速应用到新一代的显示当中。OLED显示的驱动方式可以为无源矩阵驱动(Passive Matrix OLED,PMOLED)和有源矩阵驱动(Active Matrix OLED,AMOLED)两种。无源矩阵驱动虽然成本低廉,但是存在交叉串扰现象不能实现高分辨率的显示,且无源矩阵驱动电流大,降低了OLED的使用寿命。相比之下,有源矩阵驱动方式在每个像素上设置数目不同的晶体管作为电流源,避免了交叉串扰,所需的驱动电流较小,功耗较低,使OLED的寿命增加,可以实现高分辨的显示,同时,有源矩阵驱动更容易满足大面积和高灰度级显示的需要。
传统AMOLED的像素电路是简单的两薄膜场效应晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)结构,这种电路虽然结构简单,但是不能补偿驱动晶体管T1和OLED阈值电压漂移或因TFT器件采用多晶材料制成而导致面板各处TFT器件的阈值电压不均匀性。当驱动晶体管T1阈值电压、OLED阈值电压发生漂移或在面板上各处的值不一致时,驱动电流IDS就会改变,并且面板上不同的像素因偏置电压的不同漂移情况也不一样,这样就会造成面板显示的不均匀性。

在本实施例中,扫描信号VScan的第二有效电平滞后于所述扫描信号VScan的第一有效电平和发光控制信号VEM的第一有效电平,发光控制信号VEM的第二有效电平滞后于扫描信号VScan的第二有效电平。
下文以图1a为例对本实施例公开的像素电路驱动过程予以说明。本实施例的像素电路驱动过程分为初始化阶段、阈值补偿阶段、数据写入阶段和发光阶段,如图2所示为本实施例的信号时序,结合图2和图1a具体描述本实施例的驱动过程。
在初始化阶段:向第三晶体管T3提供的扫描信号VScan为高电平VH,
即为第一有效电平;发光控制信号VEM为高电平VH,即为第一有效电平。于是,第三晶体管T3和第二晶体管T2导通。数据线DATA向第三晶体管T3传输参考电位VREF,该参考电位VREF通过导通的晶体管T3和T2输入到第一节点A,使得第一节点A的电位为VREF,由于第一节点A和第二节点B通过第二晶体管T2连通,所以两个节点电压相同。与此同时,驱动晶体管T1处于导通状态,第一电平端VDD输出一初始化电位低电平信号VL,该电平信号并通过开关晶体管T1输入到第三节点C,使得第三节点C电平变为VL。从而,完成了对第一节点A、第二节点B和第三节点C的电位初始化。
在阈值补偿阶段:扫描信号VScan和发光控制信号VEM继续维持第一有效电平,高电平VH,数据线DATA依旧传输参考电位VREF。第一电平端VDD提供的信号由低电平VL变回高电平VH,并通过驱动晶体管T1给第三节点C充电。第三节点C的电位因此会慢慢升高,直到该节点升高到VREF-VTH时,驱动晶体管T1会进入截止状态,第三节点C的电位维持为VREF-VTH。其中VTH为驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。阈值补偿阶段结束后,驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压信息通过存储电容C1被存储到节点C上。需要注意的是,VREF-VTH小于发光元件OLED的阈值电压。
数据写入阶段:发光控制信号VEM变为低电平,扫描信号VScan变为第二有效电平,如高电平VH。此时,第二晶体管T2处于截止状态,第三晶体管T3处于导通状态,数据线DATA提供数据电压VDATA并通过导通的第三晶体管T3写入到第二节点B中。需要说明的是,在其它实施例中,当存在多行像素电路并采用同时发光的方式时,则在该阶段,各行扫描信号VScan的第二有效电平依次到来,以逐行完成第二节点B的数据电压VDATA写入。在第二节点B的电位由VREF充电到VDATA的过程中,数据电压VDATA会通过存储电容C1和发光元件OLED的本征电容C2的耦合作用被耦合到节点C中从而使节点C的电位变化为:
其中,VnodeC代表第三节点C的电位,C1和C2则分别是存储电容C1和发光元件OLED的本征电容的电容值。
发光阶段:发光控制信号VEM第二有效电平如高电VH平到来,扫
描信号VScan维持为低电平。此时,第二晶体管T2处于导通状态,发光元件OLED开始发光,并且第三节点C的电位也变为VOLED。VOLED为发光元件OLED在发光时阳极的电位。此时,由于第二节点B和第一节点A通过第二晶体管T2耦合,两节点电位相同,节点A(B)由于存储电容C1的耦合作用而变为:
由(1-2)可以得出,发光阶段流过发光元件OLED的电流为:
其中,μn、Cox、W、L分别为驱动晶体管T1的有效迁移率、单位面积栅电容、沟道宽度和沟道长度。从(1-3)可以看出,最终流过发光元件OLED的电流与驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压以及OLED本身的阈值电压都无关,从而本示例的像素电路可以很好的补偿显示的不均匀性。
需要说明的是,在其它实施例中,当存在多行像素电路并采用同时发光的方式时,则应在各行第二节点B的数据电压VDATA写入完成后,发光控制信号VEM第二有效电平才到来。
本实施例的优点是,电路结构简单,只有三个晶体管和一个存储电容,可以增加像素开口率,能够减小发光元件OLED的电流密度,提高发光元件OLED使用寿命;电路采用充电式的阈值提取方式,即源跟随器结构,对于正负阈值都有补偿作用,所以这种方法对于采用耗尽型的晶体管同样有效;并且,在其它实施例中,当电路采用同时发光的驱动模式时,在3D显示中可以有效避免串扰的影响,此外,在初始化和阈值补偿过程中,电路在发光元件OLED的阳极输入一低电平,此低电平可以有效延长发光元件OLED的使用寿命。
需要说明的是,当各晶体管采用P型薄膜晶体管时,请参考图1b,其驱动过程与图1a的驱动过程相同,不同之处在于:各晶体管导通的有效电平为低电平VL;在初始化阶段,第二电平端VSS提供高电平,向第三节点C(发光元件OLED的阴极)充电至高电平。
实施例二:
实施例一中,第三节点C的初始化电位通过第一电平端VDD或第二电平端VSS提供,本实施例与上述实施例不同之处在于,本实施例公开的像素电路中还包括第四晶体管T4,以向第三节点C提供相应的电位。请参考图3a和图3b,为本实施例公开的一种像素电路结构图。
第四晶体管T4的第一极连接至第三节点C,第四晶体管T4的第二极用于输入初始化电位,第四晶体管T4的控制极用于输入初始化控制信号VIni。在初始化阶段,第四晶体管T4响应初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平导通,第四晶体管T4的第二极向第三节点C传输第四晶体管T4的第二极输入的初始化电位。
需要说明的是,当驱动晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4为N型薄膜晶体管时,请参考图3a,第四晶体管T4的第二极输入的初始化电位为低电平VL,初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平为高电平VH。当驱动晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3和第四晶体管T4为P型薄膜晶体管时,请参考图3b,第四晶体管T4的第二极输入的初始化电位为高电平VH,初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平为低电平VL。
以图3a为例,请参考图4,为图3a所示像素电路驱动过程的时序图。该像素电路的驱动过程与实施例一的驱动过程大致相同,依次包括:初始化阶段、阈值补偿阶段、数据写入阶段和发光阶段,不同之处在于初始化阶段,第三节点C的低电平VL由第四晶体管T4的第二极提供而不是由第一电平端VDD提供,其余皆驱动过程和实施例一的驱动过程相同,此处不再赘述。
需要说明的是,由于第三节点C的初始化电位为低电平VL,因此,第四晶体管T4的第二极可以连接至第二电平端VSS,请参考图5a,由第二电平端VSS向第四晶体管T4的第二极提供低电平VL的初始化电位。
当然,当采用图3b所示的像素电路即各晶体管为P型薄膜晶体管时,初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平为低电平VL,第四晶体管T4的第二极提供的初始化电位为高电平VH。此时,第四晶体管T4的第二极可以连接至第一电平端VDD,请参考图5b,由第一电平端VDD向第四晶体管T4的第二极提供高电平VH的初始化电位。
相比实施例一,本实施例的优点在于第一电平端VDD或者第二电平端VSS为恒定的高电平VH或者低电平VL,不需要输出初始化电位。当第一电平端VDD或者第二电平端VSS为恒定电位时,时序控制更易实现。
实施例三:
请参考图6a和图6b,为本实施例公开的像素电路结构图,与上述实施例不同之处在于,第四晶体管T4的第二极用于耦合至数据线DATA,第四晶体管T4第二极的初始化电位由数据线DATA提供。
请参考图7,为本实施例图6a所示像素电路的驱动时序图,本实施例像素电路的驱动过程和实施例二的驱动过程大体相同,不同之处在于,在初始化阶段,第三节点C的初始化电位(例如低电平VL)由数据线DATA提供,在阈值补偿阶段和数据写入阶段,数据线DATA则向第三晶体管T3分别提供参考电位VREF和数据电压VDATA。
图6a所示的具体工作过程为:
在初始化阶段时,初始化控制信号VIni变为有效电平高电平,将第四晶体管T4置于导通状态,扫描信号VScan和发光控制信号VEM也同时处于有效电平高电平,晶体管T2和T3处于导通状态,数据线DATA上的初始化电位低电平VL同时通过晶体管T4写入到第三节点C中,通过晶体管T3和T2写入到第一节点A和第二节点B中,使三个节点A、B和C的电位同处于低电平VL。
在阈值补偿阶段时,初始化控制信号VIni变为低电平VL,使第四晶体管T4处于截止状态。扫描信号VScan和发光控制信号VEM继续处于有效电平高电平,数据线DATA输出参考电位VREF,此参考电位通过晶体管T3和T2输入到节点A和B,使得节点A和B电平为VREF。第一电平端VDD通过驱动晶体管T1给节点C充电。其余驱动过程和实施例二相同,此处不再赘述。
相比于实施例二,本实施示例的优点在于少了一根向第四晶体管T4第二极提供初始化电位的电源线,减少了工艺复杂度,简化了结构。
需要说明的是,对于图6b所示的像素电路,其驱动过程与图6a的驱动过程原理相似,不同之处在于,图6b所示像素电路的有效电平为低电平,初始化电位为高电平。在此不再赘述。
实施例四:
请参考图8a和图8b,为本实施例公开的像素电路结构图,与上述实施例不同之处在于,第四晶体管T4的控制极连接至第四晶体管T4的第一极;在初始化阶段,第四晶体管T4的控制极所输入的初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平由第四晶体管T4的第一极提供。
请参考图9,为本实施例图8a所示电路的驱动过程时序图,本实施例像素电路的驱动过程与实施例二的驱动过程大致相同,不同之处在于初始化阶段第三节点C电位的提供方式和阈值补偿阶段第四晶体管T4的关闭方式。
具体工作过程为:在初始化阶段,第四晶体管T4第二极输入的电位Vx为初始化电位例如低电平,此时,由于第四晶体管T4的控制极连接至其第一极,于是通过二级管连接方式的第四晶体管T4对第三节点C进行放电,从而将第三节点C电位拉低,完成第三节点C电位的初始化。在阈值补偿阶段及后续阶段,第四晶体管T4第二极输入的电位Vx变为高电平,使第四晶体管T4处于截止状态。其余驱动过程和实施例二相同,此处不再赘述。
相比于实施例二,本实施示例的优点在于少了一根电源线,减少了工艺复杂度,简化了结构。
需要说明的是,对于图8b所示的像素电路,其驱动过程与图8a的驱动过程原理相似,不同之处在于,图8b所示像素电路的有效电平为低电平,初始化电位为高电平。在此不再赘述。
实施例五:
请参考图10a和图10b,为本实施例公开的一种像素电路结构图,与上述实施例不同之处在于,本实施例公开的像素电路中还包括第五晶体管T5,第一节点A所需的参考电位VREF由第五晶体管T5传输,数据线DATA则只提供数据信号VDATA,从而简化了数据线DATA的时序控制。具体地,像素电路包括:用于串联在第一电平端VDD和第二电平端VSS之间的驱动晶体管T1和发光元件OLED,以及第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5和存储电容C1。其中,图10a所示的像素电路中,各晶体管(驱动晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5)为N型薄膜晶体管;图10b所示的像素电路中,各晶体管(驱动晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第三晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5)为P型薄膜晶体管。
驱动晶体管T1的第一极连接至发光元件OLED的第一端形成第三节点C,驱动晶体管T1的第二极和发光元件OLED的第二端分别用于连接至第一电平端VDD和第二电平端VSS。在一种实施例中,请参考图10a,发光元件OLED的第一端为阳极,发光元件OLED的第二端为阴极;驱动晶体管T1的第二极用于连接至第一电平端VDD,发光元件OLED的第二端用于连接至第二电平端VSS。在另一种实施例中,请参考图10b,发光元件OLED的第一端为阴极,发光元件OLED的第二端为阳极;驱动晶体管T1的第二极用于连接至第二电平端VSS,发光元件OLED的第二端用于连接至第一电平端VDD。
驱动晶体管T1的控制极连接至第二晶体管T2的第一极形成第一节点A,第二晶体管T2的第二极连接至第三晶体管T3的第一极形成第二节点B,第二晶体管T2的控制极用于输入发光控制信号VEM。
第三晶体管T3的第二极用于连接至数据线DATA,在具体实施例中,数据线DATA用于提供数据信号VDATA,第三晶体管T3的控制极用于输入扫描信号VScan。
第五晶体管T5的第一极连接至第一节点A,第五晶体管T5的第二极用于输入参考电位VREF,第五晶体管T5的控制极连接至第三晶体管T3的控制极。
第四晶体管T4的第一极连接至第三节点C,第四晶体管T4的第二极用于输入初始化电位,第四晶体管T4的控制极用于输入初始化控制信号VIni。
存储电容C1连接至第二节点B和第三节点C之间。
在具体实施例中,像素电路依次工作于第一阶段、第二阶段和第三阶段。在本实施例中,第一阶段为初始化阶段,第二阶段可以依次包括阈值补偿阶段和数据写入阶段,第三阶段为发光阶段。
在第一阶段,第四晶体管T4响应初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平导通初始化第三节点C的电位;或者,优选地,在第一阶段,第二晶体管T2还响应发光控制信号VEM的第一有效电平导通初始化第一节点A和第二节点B的电位,并且,发光控制信号VEM的第一有效电平结束时间早于初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平结束时间。
在第二阶段,第五晶体管T5和第三晶体管T3响应扫描信号VScan的有效电平导通,导通的第五晶体管T5向第一节点A传输参考电位
VREF,导通的第三晶体管T3向第二节点B传输数据信号VDATA;驱动晶体管T1在其控制极电位(例如栅极电位,对应第一节点A的电位)VREF的作用下导通,导通的驱动晶体管T1会传输第一电平端VDD或者第二电平端VSS的电信号以调整(可以是充电,也可以是放电)第三节点C的电位,直到该节点C的电位调整为VREF-VTH时,驱动晶体管T1则进入截止状态,此时,第三节点C的电位就会维持为VREF-VTH,该电位通过存储电容C1存储,其中,VTH为驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。在第三阶段,第二晶体管T2响应发光控制信号VEM的第二有效电平导通,驱动晶体管T1响应第一节点A的电位导通驱动发光元件OLED发光。
需要说明的是,在一种实施例中,请参考图10a,发光控制信号VEM有效电平(包括第一有效电平和第二有效电平)、初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平和扫描信号VScan的有效电平均为高电平;在另一种实施例中,请参考图10b,发光控制信号VEM的有效电平(包括第一有效电平和第二有效电平)、初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平和扫描信号VScan的有效电平均为低电平。
在本实施例中,初始化控制信号VIni、扫描信号VScan的有效电平和发光控制信号VEM的第二有效电平依次到来。
由于初始化控制信号VIni的有效电平超前于扫描信号VScan的有效电平到来时间,因此,当存在多行像素电路,并逐行发光时,第四晶体管T4控制极所输入的初始化控制信号VIni可以优选由上一级像素电路的扫描信号VScan提供,即本行像素电路第四晶体管T4控制极可以优选耦合至上一行像素电路第三晶体管T3的控制极。
下文以图10a为例对本实施例公开的像素电路驱动过程予以说明。本实施例的像素电路驱动过程分为初始化阶段、阈值补偿阶段、数据写入阶段和发光阶段,如图11所示为本实施例的信号时序,结合图11和图10a具体描述本实施例的驱动过程。
在初始化阶段:初始化控制信号VIni为有效电平高电平,将第四晶体管T4置于导通状态,第四晶体管T4的第二极输入初始化电位低电平VL,并通过导通的第四晶体管T4写入到第三节点C中。于是,第三节点C的电位降为初始化电位低电平VL,在存储电容C1的耦合下,第二节点B的电位也拉低。在优选的实施例中,在刚进入初始化阶段时,发光控制信号VEM可以为有效电平高电平,在进入初始化阶段延迟一段时
间之后,发光控制信号VEM变为低电平。在发光控制信号VEM为有效电平高电平时,第三节点C可以通过存储电容C1的耦合作用将第一节点A和第二节点B的电位拉低,拉低第一节点A的电位可以防止有大电流流过发光元件OLED。
在数据写入和阈值补偿阶段:初始化控制信号VIni变为低电平,使第四晶体管T4处于截止状态;扫描信号VScan变为有效电平高电平,使晶体管T3和T5处于导通状态,第五晶体管T5第二极输入的参考电位VREF通过导通的第五晶体管T5写入到第一节点A中,数据线DATA提供的数据电压VDATA通过第三晶体管T3写入到第二节点B中。与此同时,驱动晶体管T1处于导通状态,第一电平端VDD通过驱动晶体管T1给第三节点C充电,因此,第三节点C的电位会慢慢升高,直到它升高到VREF-VTH的时候,驱动晶体管T1会进入截止状态,第三节点C的电位就会维持为VREF-VTH。其中VTH为驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。数据输入和阈值补偿阶段结束后,驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压信息就通过存储电容C1被存储到节点C上。需要注意的是,VREF-VTH小于发光元件OLED的阈值电压,以保证发光元件OLED在该两个阶段不发光。
在发光阶段:扫描信号VScan变为低电平,使晶体管T3和T5处于截止状态;发光控制信号VEM变为有效电平高电平,使得第二晶体管T2处于导通状态,此时,发光元件OLED开始发光,并且第三节点C的电位也变为VOLED。VOLED为发光元件OLED在发光时阳极的电位。此时,由于第二节点B和第一节点A通过第二晶体管T2耦合连接,两节点电位相同,节点A(B)由于存储电容C1的耦合作用而变为:
VnodeA=VOLED+VDATA-VREF+VTH …(4-1)
由(4-1)可以得出,发光阶段流过OLED的电流为:
其中,μn、Cox、W、L分别为驱动晶体管T1的有效迁移率、单位面积栅电容、沟道宽度和沟道长度。从(4-2)可以看出,最终流过发光元件OLED的电流与驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压以及发光元件OLED本身的阈值电压都无关,从而本示例的像素电路可以很好的补偿显示的不
均匀性。
对于具有多行像素电路的实例中,可以优选采用传统的逐行扫描发光模式,第一电平端VDD是一个恒定电位,各行的扫描信号VScan不需要在某一时刻同时输出高电平或者低电平脉冲。
需要说明的是,当各晶体管采用P型薄膜晶体管时,请参考图10b,其驱动过程与图10a的驱动过程相同,不同之处在于:各晶体管导通的有效电平为低电平VL;在初始化阶段,第四晶体管T4的第二极提供高电平,向第三节点C(发光元件OLED的阴极)充电至高电平VH。
相对于上述实施例,本实施例增加了像素电路驱动时所需的信号线,有利于时序控制。
本实施例还公开了一种显示电路驱动方法,显示电路采用上述实施例的像素电路,像素电路的每一驱动周期包括初始化阶段、阈值补偿阶段、数据写入阶段和发光阶段,驱动方法包括:
在初始化阶段,第二晶体管T2导通,分别初始化存储电容C1两端的电位和驱动晶体管T1控制极的电位。在其它实施例中,还可以导通第四晶体管T4,辅助初始化存储电容C1两端的电位。
在阈值补偿阶段,第三晶体管T3和/或第五晶体管T5导通,向驱动晶体管T1控制极提供参考电位,读取驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压信息并通过存储电容C1存储。在一种实施例中,可以通过第三晶体管T3提供参考电位;在另一种实施例中,也可以通过第五晶体管T5提供参考电位。
在数据写入阶段,第三晶体管T3导通传输数据电压VDATA并存储于存储电容C1。
需要说明的是,在具体实施例中,阈值补偿阶段和数据写入阶段也可以同时进行,譬如同时导通第三晶体管T3和第五晶体管T5,由第五晶体管T5提供参考电位,由第三晶体管T3传输数据电压VDATA,从而实现了驱动晶体管T1阈值电压补偿和数据电压VDATA写入的同时进行。
在发光阶段,第一晶体管T1根据存储电容C1两端的压差驱动产生驱动电流,并驱动发光元件OLED发光。
