为了解决上述技术问题,如图1所示,本发明提供了一种像素补偿电路,包括如下各个电路器件:
第一开关组件,其用于响应于一扫描信号Sn而对数据信号Vdata和第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换;
第三晶体管M3,其栅极输入一电源正极电压信号Vddin,用于响应于所述电源正极电压信号Vddin而对一第二节点N2和一第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换;
第四晶体管M4,其栅极连接至所述第一节点N1,用于响应于所述第一节点N1的电压信号而对所述电源正极电压信号Vddin和第三节点N3之间的电流路径进行切换;
第一电容器C1,其耦接于一使能信号En和所述第一节点N1之间;
第二电容器C2,其耦接于所述第二节点N2和所述电源正极电压信号Vddin之间;
发光二极管XD1,其阳极耦接所述第三节点N3,阴极耦接一电源负极电压信号Vss。
在该实施例中,所述第一开关组件包括第一晶体管M1,所述第一晶体管M1的栅极连接至所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述数据信号Vdata和所述第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换。
在该实施例中,第一晶体管M1可以采用PMOS管。在其他实施方式中,第一晶体管M1也可以采用NMOS管等其他类型的晶体管。或者,第一晶体管M1也可以采用双栅晶体管。双栅晶体管相对于普通晶体管来说,可以减 小寄生参量,以提高截止频率,降低漏电的影响。
在该实施例中,进一步地,所述第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4均为PMOS管。在其他实施方式中,第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4也可以采用如NMOS管等其他类型的晶体管,均属于本发明的保护范围之内。
在该实施例中,所述电路还包括第二开关组件,所述第二开关组件用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对一初始化信号Vint和所述第三节点N3之间的电流路径进行切换。具体地,第二开关组件在导通时,可以清除第三节点N3残留的电荷,即清除发光二极管XD1阳极残留的电荷。在该实施例中,所述第二开关组件包括第五晶体管M5,所述第五晶体管M5的栅极输入所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述初始化信号Vint和所述第三节点N3之间的电流路径进行切换。

如图1所示,通过采用该实施例的像素补偿电路,仅采用四个晶体管(第一晶体管M1、第三晶体管M3、第四晶体管M4和第五晶体管M5)即可以实现像素补偿电路的功能,从而相比于现有技术的像素补偿电路减少了晶体管的数量,降低了像素补偿电路乃至显示装置故障的几率。
下面结合图2~图4来具体说明,采用该实施例的像素补偿电路的工作原理。
如图2所示,对像素的驱动过程主要分为t1时段和t2时段,在t1时段, 扫描信号Sn为低电平,使能信号En为高电平,在t2时段,扫描信号Sn为高电平,电压为Vgh,使能信号En从低电平变为高电平,电压从Vgl1变为Vgl2。
如图3所示,为本发明一实施例的t1时段内像素补偿电路的导通示意图。此时,扫描信号Sn为低电平,第一晶体管M1导通,第一节点N1写入数据信号Vdata,第四晶体管M4截止,第五晶体管M5导通,清除第三节点N3的残留电荷,第三晶体管M3导通,数据信号Vdata写入第二节点N2。
图4为本发明一实施例的t2时段内像素补偿电路的导通示意图。此时,扫描信号Sn为高电平,第一晶体管M1截止,第五晶体管M5截止。使能信号En由Vgl1变为Vgl2,第一电容器C1的第一端VEn从Vgh变为Vgl2(Vgl2>Vgl1),则计ΔV=Vgh-Vgl2。第一电容器C1的另一端VN1的电压降低,VN1<VN2。
第三晶体管M3仍为导通状态,直到第三晶体管M3的栅极和源极之间的电压差Vgs达到第二晶体管M3的截止电压Vth_MT3,此时第三晶体管M3截止,第一电容器C1的另一端电压VN1变为:
VN1=2Vdata-ΔV+Vth_MT3
此时第四晶体管M4导通,流经第四晶体管M4的电流为:
Id=1/2μCox W/L(Vgs-Vth_MT4)2
=1/2μCox W/L[2Vdata-ΔV+Vth_MT3-Vth_MT4]2
其中,Vth_MT4为第四晶体管M4的截止电压。电流Id即为驱动发光二极管XD1发光的驱动电流。
如图5所示,本发明还提供了另一实施例的一种像素补偿电路。与图1中示出的像素补偿电路类似地,该像素补偿电路包括如下各个电路器件:
第一开关组件,其用于响应于一扫描信号Sn而对数据信号Vdata和第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换;
第三晶体管M3,其栅极输入一电源正极电压信号Vddin,用于响应于所述电源正极电压信号Vddin而对一第二节点N2和一第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换;
第四晶体管M4,其栅极连接至所述第一节点N1,用于响应于所述第一节点N1的电压信号而对所述电源正极电压信号Vddin和第三节点N3之间的电流路径进行切换;
第一电容器C1,其耦接于一使能信号En和所述第一节点N1之间;
第二电容器C2,其耦接于所述第二节点N2和所述电源正极电压信号Vddin之间;
发光二极管XD1,其阳极耦接所述第三节点N3,阴极耦接一电源负极电压信号Vss。
与图1中示出的像素补偿电路不同地,在该实施例中,所述第一开关组件包括两个晶体管,即:
第一晶体管M1,其栅极输入所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述数据信号Vdata和一第四节点N4之间的电流路径进行切换;
第二晶体管M2,其栅极输入所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述第四节点N4和所述第一节点N1之间的电流路径进行切换。
第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2可以组成一个双栅晶体管,也可以是 两个独立的晶体管器件。
在该实施例中,第一晶体管M1、第二晶体管M2、第三晶体管M3和第四晶体管M4均为PMOS管。在其他实施方式中,各个晶体管也可以采用如NMOS等其他类型的晶体管,均属于本发明的保护范围之内。
在该实施例中,所述电路还包括第二开关组件,所述第二开关组件用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对一初始化信号Vint和所述第三节点N3之间的电流路径进行切换。具体地,第二开关组件在导通时,可以清除第三节点N3残留的电荷,即清除发光二极管XD1阳极残留的电荷。
具体地,与图1中示出的实施例不同地,在该实施例中,所述第二开关组件包括两个晶体管,即:
第五晶体管M5,其栅极输入所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述第三节点N3和一第五节点N5之间的电流路径进行切换;
第六晶体管M6,其栅极输入所述扫描信号Sn,用于响应于所述扫描信号Sn而对所述第五节点N5和所述初始化信号Vint之间的电流路径进行切换。
第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6可以组成一个双栅晶体管,也可以是两个独立的晶体管器件。在该实施例中,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6可以为PMOS管。在其他实施方式中,各个晶体管也可以采用如NMOS等其他类型的晶体管,均属于本发明的保护范围之内。
该实施例中的驱动信号波形图与图2相同。下面结合图2、图6和图7来进一步介绍该实施例的像素补偿电路的工作原理。
如图6所示,为本发明另一实施例的t1时段内像素补偿电路的导通示意图。此时,扫描信号Sn为低电平,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2导通, 第一节点N1写入数据信号Vdata,第四晶体管M4截止,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6导通,清除第三节点N3的残留电荷,第三晶体管M3导通,数据信号Vdata写入第二节点N2。
图7为本发明另一实施例的t2时段内像素补偿电路的导通示意图。此时,扫描信号Sn为高电平,第一晶体管M1和第二晶体管M2截止,第五晶体管M5和第六晶体管M6截止。使能信号En由Vgl1变为Vgl2,第一电容器C1的第一端VEn从Vgh变为Vgl2(Vgl2>Vgl1),则计ΔV=Vgh-Vgl2。第一电容器C1的另一端VN1的电压降低,VN1<VN2。
第三晶体管M3仍为导通状态,直到第三晶体管M3的栅极和源极之间的电压差Vgs达到第三晶体管M3的截止电压Vth_MT3,此时第三晶体管M3截止,第一电容器C1的另一端电压VN1变为:
VN1=2Vdata-ΔV+Vth_MT3
此时第四晶体管M4导通,流经第四晶体管M4的电流为:
Id=1/2μCox W/L(Vgs-Vth_MT4)2
=1/2μCox W/L[2Vdata-ΔV+Vth_MT3-Vth_MT4]2
其中,Vth_MT4为第四晶体管M4的截止电压。电流Id即为驱动发光二极管XD1发光的驱动电流。
本发明实施例还提供一种显示装置,包括上述的像素补偿电路,采用上述的像素补偿电路对显示装置中的各个像素中的发光二极管进行驱动。显示装置中采用的像素补偿电路可以为图1示出的实施例的电路或图5示出的实施例的电路,且不限于此,其他的在像素补偿电路中增加或删除其他元器件,或删除第二开关组件,或第一开关组件采用一个晶体管、第二开关组件采用 两个晶体管,或第一开关组件采用两个晶体管、第二开关组件采用一个晶体管等等的实施方式,均属于本发明的保护范围之内。本发明的显示装置可以为手机、平板电脑、电脑显示屏、电视等等不同大小和功能的显示装置,具有广泛的应用范围。
通过采用本发明的像素补偿电路,由于晶体管数量的减少,本发明的显示装置也可以进一步降低出现故障的几率。由于一个显示装置往往有很多个像素,每个像素对应一像素补偿电路,对于整个显示装置来说,晶体管数量的减少十分可观,不仅提高了显示装置使用的稳定性和使用寿命,也减少了显示装置的生成成本和维护成本。
与现有技术相比,本发明的像素补偿电路及显示装置相比于现有的像素补偿电路,减少了晶体管的数量,降低了像素补偿电路出现故障的几率,降低了显示装置画面显示异常的几率,并且降低了高分辨率显示装置像素布局的难度,提高显示装置的显示效果和使用寿命,减少生产和维护成本。
基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。尽管本发明就优选实施方式进行了示意和描述,但本领域的技术人员应当理解,只要不超出本发明的权利要求所限定的范围,可以对本发明进行各种变化和修改。
