OLED显示面板中的像素电路一般采用矩阵驱动方式,根据每个像素单元中是否引入开关元器件分为有源矩阵(Active Matrix,AM)驱动和无源矩阵(Passive Matrix,PM)驱动。其中,AMOLED在每一个像素的像素电路中都集成了一组薄膜晶体管和存储电容,通过对薄膜晶体管和存储电容的驱动控制,实现对流过OLED的电流的控制,从而使OLED根据需要发光。因此,AMOLED所需驱动电流小、功耗低、寿命更长,可以满足高分辨率多灰 度的大尺寸显示需求。同时,AMOLED在可视角度、色彩的还原、功耗以及响应时间等方面具有明显的优势,适用于高信息含量、高分辨率的显示装置。
AMOLED显示面板中使用的基础像素电路通常为2T1C像素电路,即利用两个TFT(Thin-film transistor,薄膜晶体管)和一个存储电容Cs来实现驱动OLED发光的基本功能。图1A和图1B分别示出了两种2T1C像素电路的示意图。
如图1A所示,一种2T1C像素电路包括开关晶体管T0、驱动晶体管N0以及存储电容Cs。例如,该开关晶体管T0的栅极连接扫描线以接收扫描信号Scan1,例如源极连接到数据信号线以接收数据信号Vdata,漏极连接到驱动晶体管N0的栅极;驱动晶体管N0的源极连接到第一电压端以接收第一电压Vdd(高电压),漏极连接到OLED的正极端;存储电容Cs的一端连接到开关晶体管T0的漏极以及驱动晶体管N0的栅极,另一端连接到驱动晶体管N0的源极以及第一电压端;OLED的负极端连接到第二电压端以接收第二电压Vss(低电压,例如接地电压)。该2T1C像素电路的驱动方式是将像素的明暗(灰阶)经由两个TFT和存储电容Cs来控制。当通过扫描线施加扫描信号Scan1以开启开关晶体管T0时,数据驱动电路通过数据信号线送入的数据信号Vdata将经由开关晶体管T0对存储电容Cs充电,由此将数据信号Vdata存储在存储电容Cs中,且此存储的数据信号Vdata控制驱动晶体管N0的导通程度,由此控制流过驱动晶体管以驱动OLED发光的电流大小,即此电流决定该像素发光的灰阶。在图1A所示的2T1C像素电路中,开关晶体管T0为N型晶体管而驱动晶体管N0为P型晶体管。
如图1B所示,另一种2T1C像素电路也包括开关晶体管T0、驱动晶体管N0以及存储电容Cs,但是其连接方式略有改变,且驱动晶体管N0为N型晶体管。图1B的像素电路相对于图1A的变化之处包括:OLED的正极端连接到第一电压端以接收第一电压Vdd(高电压),而负极端连接到驱动晶体管N0的漏极,驱动晶体管N0的源极连接到第二电压端以接收第二电压Vss(低电压,例如接地电压)。存储电容Cs的一端连接到开关晶体管T0的漏极以及驱动晶体管N0的栅极,另一端连接到驱动晶体管N0的源极以及第二电压端。该2T1C像素电路的工作方式基本上与图1A所示的像素电路基本相同,这里不再赘述。
此外,对于图1A和图1B所示的像素电路,开关晶体管T0不限于N型晶体管,也可以为P型晶体管,由此控制其导通或截止的扫描信号Scan1的极性进行相应地改变即可。
AMOLED显示面板通常包括阵列排布的多个像素单元,每个像素单元例如可以包括上述像素电路。在AMOLED显示面板中,各个像素电路中的驱动晶体管的阈值电压由于制备工艺可能存在差异,以及由于例如长时间加电压和高温等外部因素的影响,驱动晶体管的阈值电压都可能会产生漂移现象。例如,由于显示画面不同,显示面板各部分驱动晶体管的阈值电压漂移量不同,会造成显示亮度差异,这种差异与之前显示的图像有关,因此常呈现为残影现象,也就是通常所说的残像。例如,OLED显示装置在点亮黑白相间的画面一段时间后,再切换为同一灰阶的画面时,容易产生残像,该残像经过一段时间后会自然消失,这种现象称为短期残像。
由于各个驱动晶体管的阈值电压的不同可能会导致显示不良(例如显示不均匀),所以就需要对阈值电压进行补偿。因此,在上述2T1C的基本像素电路的基础上,还发展出了其他具有例如补偿功能、复位功能等的像素电路。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种像素电路。该像素电路包括驱动电路、输入电路、补偿电路、复位电路、数据写入电路和发光元件。驱动电路包括控制端、第一端和第二端,且配置为控制流经第一端和第二端的用于驱动发光元件发光的驱动电流;输入电路配置为响应于第一扫描信号传输复位电压和数据信号;复位电路配置为响应于第二扫描信号将输入电路传输的复位电压施加至驱动电路的控制端;补偿电路配置为存储数据信号,且响应于第三扫描信号将驱动电路的控制端和第二端电连接;数据写入电路配置为响应于第三扫描信号将输入电路传输的数据信号施加至补偿电路。
本公开的一些实施例还提供对应于上述像素电路的驱动方法、阵列基板及显示装置。
本公开的至少一实施例提供的像素电路及其驱动方法、阵列基板及显示装置,可以对驱动电路的阈值电压进行补偿,同时每次切换画面时,还可以对驱动电路进行复位,使驱动电路的控制端处于同样的偏压状态下,从而可以抑制短期残像现象的发生。
下面结合附图对本公开的一些实施例及其示例进行详细说明。
图2为本公开至少一实施例提供的一种像素电路的示意框图。例如,像素电路10可以用于AMOLED显示面板的子像素中。如图2所示,像素电路10包括驱动电路100、输入电路400、补偿电路200、复位电路300、数据写入电路500和发光元件700。
例如,驱动电路100包括控制端110、第一端120和第二端130,且配置为控制流经第一端120和第二端130的用于驱动发光元件700发光的驱动电流。例如,在一些示例中,在发光阶段,驱动电路100可以向发光元件700提供驱动电流以驱动发光元件700进行发光,且可以根据需要显示的灰阶(不同的灰阶对应于不同的数据信号)提供相应的驱动电流发光。例如,发光元件700可以采用有机发光二极管(OLED)、量子点发光二极管(QLED)、无机发光二极管等,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。
例如,输入电路400配置为响应于第一扫描信号SN1传输复位电压Vinitial和数据信号Vdata。例如,在一些示例中,在复位阶段,开关电路400响应于第一扫描信号SN1而导通,从而将复位电压Vinitial传输至复位电路300,并经由复位电路300将复位电压Vinitial施加至驱动电路100的控制端110,以对驱动电路100进行复位操作;在数据写入和补偿阶段,开关电路400仍然响应于第一扫描信号SN1而导通,从而将数据信号Vdata传输至数据写入电路500,并经由数据写入电路500将数据信号Vdata写入并存储于补偿电路200中,以在发光阶段时使驱动电路100根据该数据信号Vdata产生驱动发光元件700发光的驱动电流。
例如,在一些示例中,数据写入和补偿阶段紧随在复位阶段之后,从而第一扫描信号在复位阶段与数据写入和补偿阶段是一个连续的脉冲信号。
例如,复位电路300配置为响应于第二扫描信号SN2将输入电路400传输的复位电压 Vinitial施加至驱动电路100的控制端110。例如,在一些示例中,在复位阶段,复位电路300响应于第二扫描信号SN2而导通,从而可以将输入电路400传输过来的复位电压Vinitial施加至驱动电路100的控制端110,以对驱动电路100进行复位操作。
例如,数据写入电路500配置为响应于第三扫描信号SN3将输入电路400传输的数据信号Vdata施加至补偿电路200。例如,在一些示例中,在数据写入和补偿阶段,数据写入电路500响应于第三扫描信号SN3而导通,从而可以将输入电路400传输过来的数据信号Vdata写入并存储于补偿电路200中,以在发光阶段时使驱动电路100根据该数据信号Vdata产生驱动发光元件700发光的驱动电流。
例如,补偿电路200配置为存储写入的数据信号Vdata,且响应于第三扫描信号SN3将驱动电路100的控制端110和第二端130电连接。例如,在一些示例中,补偿电路200包括存储电容;在数据写入和补偿阶段,存储电容可以接收并存储数据写入电路500写入的数据信号Vdata,同时,补偿电路200响应于第三扫描信号SN3而导通,将驱动电路100的控制端110和第二端130电连接,从而使驱动电路的阈值电压Vth的相关信息也相应地存储在存储电容中,进而在发光阶段可以利用存储的包括数据信号Vdata以及阈值电压Vth等信息的电压对驱动电路100进行控制,使得驱动电路100在得到补偿的情况下根据数据信号Vdata产生驱动发光元件700发光的驱动电流。
例如,在本公开的至少一个实施例中,如图2所示,像素电路10还可以包括发光控制电路600。发光控制电路600配置为响应于发光控制信号EM将补偿电路200存储的数据信号Vdata施加至驱动电路100的控制端110,以使驱动电路100根据该数据信号Vdata产生驱动电流,以及同时响应于发光控制信号EM将对应于数据信号Vdata的驱动电流施加至发光元件700,从而使驱动发光元件700发光,进而显示需要显示的灰阶。
例如,在本实施例的至少一个示例中,如图2所示,发光控制电路600可以包括第一发光控制电路610,其配置为响应于发光控制信号EM将补偿电路200存储的数据信号Vdata施加至驱动电路100的控制端110,以使驱动电路100产生驱动电流。例如,在一些示例中,在发光阶段,第一发光控制电路响应于发光控制信号EM而导通,从而可以将参考电压Vref施加至补偿电路200中的存储电容的一端,进而通过该存储电容的自举效应将包括数据信号Vdata以及阈值电压Vth等信息的电压施加至驱动电路100的控制端110,以控制驱动电路100在得到补偿的情况下根据数据信号Vdata产生驱动发光元件700发光的驱动电流。例如,参考电压Vref可以是驱动电压,例如高电压。
例如,在本实施例的至少一个示例中,如图2所示,发光控制电路600还可以包括第二发光控制电路620,其配置为响应于发光控制信号EM将驱动电流施加至发光元件700。例如,在发光阶段,第二发光控制电路620响应于发光控制信号EM而导通,从而驱动电路100可以通过第二发光控制电路620将驱动电流施加至发光元件700以使其发光;而在非发光阶段,第二发光控制电路620响应于发光控制信号EM而截止,避免发光元件700发光,从而可以提高相应的显示装置的对比度。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中所述的第一扫描信号SN1、第二扫描信号SN2和第三扫描信号SN3是为了区别三个时序不同的控制信号(例如,扫描信号)。例如,如下所述,在一种示例性的显示装置中,当像素电路10呈阵列排布时,第一扫描信号SN1可以为控制本行像素电路10中的输入电路400的控制信号;第二扫描信号SN2可以为控制上一行像素电路10中的输入电路400的控制信号,同时,第二扫描信号SN2还控制本行像素电路10中的复位电路300;第三扫描信号SN3可以为控制下一行像素电路10中的输入电路400的控制信号,同时,第三扫描信号SN3还控制本行像素电路10中的数据写入电路500和补偿电路200。

例如,如图3所示,驱动电路100可以实现为第一晶体管T1。第一晶体管T1的栅极作为驱动电路100的控制端110和第一节点N1连接,第一晶体管T1的第一极作为驱动电路100的第一端120和第一电源端ELVDD连接以接收第一电源电压VDD,第一晶体管T1的第二极作为驱动电路100的第二端130和第二节点N2连接。例如,第一电源电压VDD可以是驱动电压,例如高电压。

例如,如图3所示,数据写入电路500可以实现为第五晶体管T5。第五晶体管T5的栅极与第三扫描信号端连接以接收第三扫描信号SN3,第五晶体管T5的第一极与第四节点N4连接,第五晶体管T5的第二极与第三节点N3连接。
例如,如图3所示,第一发光控制电路610可以实现为第六晶体管T6。第六晶体管T6的栅极与发光控制信号端连接以接收发光控制信号EM,第六晶体管T6的第一极与参考电压端连接以接收参考电压Vref,第六晶体管T6的第二极与第三节点N3连接。例如,参考电压Vref可以是驱动电压,例如高电压。例如,在一些示例中,参考电压Vref可以与第一电源电压VDD相同。
例如,如图3所示,第二发光控制电路620可以实现为第七晶体管T7。第七晶体管T7的栅极与发光控制信号端连接以接收发光控制信号EM,第七晶体管T6的第一极与第二节点N2连接,第七晶体管T7的第二极与发光元件LE的第一极(例如,阳极)连接,所述发光元件LE的第二极(例如,阴极)与第二电源端ELVSS连接以接收第二电源电压VSS。例如第二电源电压VSS可以为低电压,例如,第二电源端ELVSS可以接地,从而第二电源电压VSS可以为零电压。
对于如图3所示的像素电路10,在第一扫描信号SN1和第二扫描信号SN2同时处于有效电平(例如,低电压)时,第四晶体管T4和第三晶体管T3可以同时导通,此时数据信号端DATA提供复位电压Vinitial,从而可以通过第四晶体管T4和第三晶体管T3对第一晶体管T1的控制端施加该复位电压,以进行复位操作。
在第一扫描信号SN1和第二扫描信号SN3同时处于有效电平时,第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5可以同时导通,此时数据信号端DATA提供数据信号Vdata,从而可以通过第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5将数据信号Vdata存储在存储电容Cs中。
在第三扫描信号SN3处于有效电平时,第二晶体管T2可以导通,从而将第一晶体管T1的栅极(第一节点N1)和第一晶体管T1的第二极(第二节点N2)连接,此时第一晶体管T1呈二极管连接方式,第一晶体管T1(驱动晶体管)的阈值电压Vth可以通过其自身得到补偿。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,存储电容Cs可以是通过工艺制程制作的电容器件,例如通过制作专门的电容电极来实现电容器件,电容的各个电极可以通过金属层、半导体层(例如掺杂多晶硅)等实现,并且,电容也可以是各个器件之间的寄生电容,可以通过晶体管本身与其他器件、线路来实现。电容的连接方式不局限于上面描述的方式,也可以为其他适用的连接方式,只要能存储相应节点的电平即可。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例的说明中,第一节点N1、第二节点N2、第三节点N3和第四节点N4并非表示必须实际存在的部件,而是表示电路图中相关电连接的汇合点。
需要说明的是,本公开的实施例中采用的晶体管均可以为薄膜晶体管或场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件,本公开的实施例中均以薄膜晶体管为例进行说明。这里采用 的晶体管的源极、漏极在结构上可以是对称的,所以其源极、漏极在结构上可以是没有区别的。在本公开的实施例中,为了区分晶体管除栅极之外的两极,直接描述了其中一极为第一极,另一极为第二极。
另外,在本公开的实施例中的晶体管均以P型晶体管为例进行说明,此时,晶体管的第一极是源极,第二极是漏极。需要说明的是,本公开包括但不限于此。例如,本公开的实施例提供的像素电路10中的一个或多个晶体管也可以采用N型晶体管,此时,晶体管第一极是漏极,第二极是源极,只需将选定类型的晶体管的各极参照本公开的实施例中的相应晶体管的各极相应连接,并且使相应的电压端提供对应的高电压或低电压即可。当采用N型晶体管时,可以采用氧化铟镓锌(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)作为薄膜晶体管的有源层,相对于采用低温多晶硅(Low Temperature Poly Silicon,LTPS)或非晶硅(例如氢化非晶硅)作为薄膜晶体管的有源层,可以有效减小晶体管的尺寸以及防止漏电流。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,均是以发光元件LE的阴极接入第二电源电压VSS(低电压)为例进行说明的,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。例如,还可以使发光元件LE的阳极接入第一电源电压VDD(高电压),而其阴极则直接或间接地连接到驱动电路,例如可以参考图1B所示的2T1C像素电路。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中,“有效电平”指的是能够使得其包括的***作晶体管被导通的电平,相应地“无效电平”指的是不能使得其包括的***作晶体管被导通(即,该晶体管被截止)的电平。根据移位寄存器单元的电路结构中的晶体管的类型(N型或P型)等因素,有效电平可以比无效电平高或者低。例如,在本公开实施例中,当各个晶体管均为P型晶体管时,有效电平为低电平,无效电平为高电平。
本公开至少一实施例还提供一种像素电路的驱动方法。图4为本公开至少一实施例提供的一种像素电路的驱动方法的信号时序图。下面结合图4所示的信号时序图,对本公开实施例提供的像素电路10的驱动方法进行说明。需要说明的是,图4中所示的信号时序图的电位的高低仅是示意性的,不代表真实电位值或相对比例,对应于本公开的实施例,低电平信号对应于P型晶体管的导通信号,而高电平信号对应于P型晶体管的截止信号。
图5至图8分别为图3中所示的像素电路对应于图4中四个阶段的电路示意图。下面以图2所示的像素电路(其中,图2所示的像素电路具体实现为图3所示的电路结构)为例,并结合图5至图8对该像素电路的驱动方法进行详细说明。
例如,如图4所示,本实施例提供的驱动方法可以包括四个阶段,分别为复位阶段t1、数据写入和补偿阶段t2、保持阶段t3以及发光阶段t4,图4中示出了每个阶段中各个信号的时序波形。
需要说明的是,图5为图3所示的像素电路处于复位阶段t1时的电路示意图,图6为图3所示的像素电路处于数据写入和补偿阶段t2时的电路示意图,图7为图3所示的像素电路处于保持阶段t3时的电路示意图,图8为图3所示的像素电路处于发光阶段t4时的电路示意图。另外,图5至图8中用虚线标识的晶体管均表示在对应阶段内处于截止状态, 图5至图8中带箭头的虚线表示像素电路在对应阶段内的电流路径(箭头方向并不表示电流方向)。图5至图8中所示的晶体管均以P型晶体管为例,即各个晶体管的栅极在接入低电平时导通,而在接入高电平时截止。以下实施例与此相同,不再赘述。
在复位阶段t1,输入第一扫描信号SN1和第二扫描信号SN2,开启(即导通)输入电路400和复位电路300,通过输入电路400和复位电路300对驱动电路100的控制端进行复位。
如图4和图5所示,在复位阶段1,第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通,第三晶体管T3被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平导通;同时,第二晶体管T2和第五晶体管T5被第三扫描信号SN3的高电平截止,第六晶体管T6和第七晶体管T7被发光控制信号EM的高电平截止。
如图5所示,在复位阶段1,形成一条复位路径(如图5中带箭头的虚线所示),由于复位电压Vinitial为低电平(例如可以接地或为其他低电平),存储电容Cs通过复位路径(即第四晶体管T4和第三晶体管T3)进行放电,使存储电容Cs的第一端和第一晶体管T1的栅极(也即第一节点N1)的电位变为Vinitial,从而采用上述像素电路的显示装置在每次切换画面时均会对驱动电路进行复位,进而可以抑制短期残像现象的发生。
在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,输入第一扫描信号SN1和第三扫描信号SN3,开启输入电路400、数据写入电路500、驱动电路100和补偿电路200,通过输入电路400和数据写入电路500将数据信号写入补偿电路200,通过补偿电路200对驱动电路100进行补偿。
如图4和图6所示,在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,第二晶体管T2被第三扫描信号SN1的低电平导通,第五晶体管T5和第二晶体管T2被第三扫描信号SN3的低电平导通,此时,由于第二晶体管T2的导通,第一晶体管T1呈二极管连接方式(第一晶体管T1的栅极和第二极连接);同时,第三晶体管T3被第二扫描信号SN2的高电平截止,第六晶体管T6和第七晶体管T7被发光控制信号EM的高电平截止。
如图6所示,在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,形成一条数据写入路径和一条补偿路径(如图6中带箭头的虚线所示,左侧的虚线代表数据写入路径,右侧的虚线代表补偿路径)。数据信号Vdata经过数据写入路径(即第四晶体管T4和第五晶体管T5)对存储电容Cs的第二端(即第三节点N3)进行放电,使存储电容Cs的第二端的电位变为Vdata;第一电源电压端ELVDD(提供第一电源电压VDD)通过补偿路径(即第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2)对存储电容Cs的第一端(即第一节点N1,也即第一晶体管T1的栅极)进行充电,同时,根据第一晶体管T1的自身特性,当存储电容Cs的第一端的电位增大到VDD+Vth时,第一晶体管T1截止,充电过程结束。需要说明的是,Vth表示第一晶体管的阈值电压,由于在本公开中,第一晶体管T1是以P型晶体管为例就行说明的,所以此处阈值电压Vth可以是负值。
经过数据写入和补偿阶段t2后,存储电容Cs的第二端的电位为Vdata,存储电容Cs的第一端的电位为VDD+Vth,从而存储电容Cs的两端的电位差为VDD+Vth-Vdata。也就 是说,将带有数据信号Vdata和阈值电压Vth的电压信息存储在了存储电容Cs中,以用于后续在发光阶段时,提供灰度显示数据和对第一晶体管T1自身的阈值电压进行补偿。
在保持阶段t3,输入第三扫描信号SN3,开启驱动电路100和补偿电路200,通过补偿电路200持续对驱动电路100进行补偿。
如图4和图7所示,在保持阶段t3,第二晶体管T2被第三扫描信号SN3的低电平导通,第一晶体管T1呈二极管连接方式;同时,第三晶体管T3被第二扫描信号SN2的高电平截止,第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,第六晶体管T6和第七晶体管T7被发光控制信号EM的高电平截止;另外,虽然第五晶体管T5也被第三扫描信号SN3的低电平导通,但是并未形成存储电容Cs的第二端的放电路径,因此,存储电容Cs的第二端的电位保持为上一阶段的电位即Vdata。
如图7所示,在保持阶段t3,第一晶体管T1由于第二晶体管T2的导通而呈二极管连接方式,从而上一阶段形成的补偿路径在本阶段得以保持(如图7中带箭头的虚线所示)。这样可以避免例如由于数据写入和补偿阶段t2的充电时间不足而导致存储电容Cs的第一端的电位未达到VDD+Vth的问题,从而可以确保在发光阶段t4开始时,存储电容Cs的第一端的电位达到且保持为VDD+Vth。
在发光阶段t4,开启驱动电路100,通过驱动电路100驱动发光元件700发光。具体地,以像素电路10包括前述第一发光控制电路610和第二发光控制电路620为例,在发光阶段t4,输入发光控制信号EM,开启第一发光控制电路610、第二发光控制电路620和驱动电路100,通过第一发光控制电路610将补偿电路200存储的数据信号Vdata施加至驱动电路100的控制端以使驱动电路100产生驱动电流,通过第二发光控制电路620将驱动电流施加至发光元件700以使发光元件700发光。
如图4和图8所示,在发光阶段t4,第二晶体管T2和第五晶体管T5被第三扫描信号SN3的高电平截止,第三晶体管T3被第二扫描信号SN2的高电平截止,第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止;第六晶体管和第七晶体管T7被发光控制信号EM的低电平导通,同时第一晶体管T1在此阶段也保持为导通状态。
如图8所示,在发光阶段t4,形成一条驱动控制路径和一条驱动发光路径(如图8中带箭头的虚线所示,左侧的虚线代表驱动控制路径,右侧的虚线代表驱动发光路径)。参考电压Vref经过驱动控制路径(即第六晶体管T6)对存储电容Cs的第二端进行充电,使存储电容Cs的第二端的电位从Vdata变为Vref,由于存储电容Cs的自举效应,存储电容Cs两端的电位差保持不变(即保持为VDD+Vth-Vdata),从而存储电容Cs的第一端的电位从VDD+Vth变为Vref+VDD+Vth-Vdata。也就是说,第一晶体管T1(即驱动晶体管)的栅极的电压变为Vref+VDD+Vth-Vdata,从而,第一晶体管T1产生的驱动电流可以根据下述公式得出:
I LE=K(Vgs-Vth) 2
=K[(Vref+VDD+Vth-Vdata-VDD)-Vth] 2
=K(Vref-Vdata) 2
在上述公式中,I LE表示驱动电流,Vth表示第一晶体管T1的阈值电压,Vgs表示第一晶体管T1的栅极和第一极例如源极之间的电压差,K为一常数值。从上述公式可以看出,流经发光元件LE的驱动电流ILE不再与第一晶体管T1的阈值电压Vth有关,而只与控制该像素电路发光的灰度的数据信号Vdata有关,由此可以实现对该像素电路的补偿,解决了驱动晶体管(在本公开的实施例中为第一晶体管T1)由于工艺制程及长时间的操作使用造成的阈值电压漂移的问题,消除其对驱动电流I LE的影响,从而可以改善显示效果。需要说明的是,在一些示例中,参考电压Vref可以与第一电源电压VDD相同,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。
上述驱动电流I LE经过发光控制路径施加至发光元件LE,从而发光元件LE在流经第一晶体管T1的驱动电流的作用下发光。
需要说明的是,图4所示的信号时序图是示意性的,对于本公开的实施例提供的像素电路,其工作时的信号时序可以根据实际需要而定,本公开对此不作限制。例如,在一些示例中,考虑到数据信号线的电压降(IR DROP)的影响以及实际提供的第一扫描信号SN1可能并非完美的方波信号,实际提供的数据信号可能为如图4中虚线所示的Vdata1(为显示清楚,图4中Vdata1低于Vdata,但实际上Vdata1=Vdata),其下降沿位于保持阶段t3中,从而即使存在电压降或/和实际提供的第一扫描信号SN1偏离完美的方波信号的影响,在数据写入和补偿阶段结束时,写入存储电容Cs的第二端的数据信号仍可确定为Vdata。
本公开的实施例提供的像素电路的驱动方法的技术效果参考上述实施例中关于像素电路10的相应描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开至少一实施例还提供一种阵列基板。图9A为本公开至少一实施例提供的一种阵列基板的示意图,图9B为本公开至少一实施例提供的另一种阵列基板的示意图。
如图9A和图9B所示,该阵列基板1包括阵列排布的多个像素单元50,多条扫描信号线、多条发光控制信号线和多条数据信号线。需要说明的是,在图9A和图9B中仅示出了部分的像素单元50、扫描信号线、发光控制信号线和数据信号线。例如,G_N-1、G_N、G_N+1和G_N+2分别表示用于阵列的第N-1行、第N行、第N+1行和第N+2行的扫描信号线,E_N-1、E_N、E_N+1和E_N+2分别表示用于阵列的第N-1行、第N行、第N+1行和第N+2行的发光控制信号线;D1_M和D2_M表示用于阵列的第M列的数据信号线,D1_M+1和D2_M+1表示用于阵列的第M+1列的数据信号线。这里,N例如为大于1的整数,M例如为大于0的整数。
例如,每个像素单元50包括本公开上述任一实施例提供的像素电路10,例如包括图3中所示的像素电路10。
例如,每一行的像素电路10中的输入电路400与本行的扫描信号线连接以接收第一扫描信号SN1;每一行的像素电路10中的复位电路300与上一行的扫描信号线连接以接收第二扫描信号SN2,又例如,对于第一行的像素电路10中的复位电路300,可以有一条额外 的扫描信号线为其提供第二扫描信号SN2;每一行的像素电路10中的补偿电路200和数据写入电路500均与下一行的扫描信号线连接以接收第三扫描信号SN3,例如,对于最后一行的像素电路10中的补偿电路200和数据写入电路500,可以有另一条额外的扫描信号线为其提供第三扫描信号SN3;每一行的像素电路10中的第一发光控制电路610和第二发光控制电路620与本行的发光控制信号线连接以接收发光控制信号EM。
例如,每一列像素单元对应两条数据信号线,本列像素单元中的奇数序列的像素电路10中的输入电路400与对应的两条数据信号线中的一条连接,本列像素单元中的偶数序列的像素电路10中的输入电路400与对应的两条数据信号线中的另一条连接,从而,每个像素电路10中的输入电路400可以从与之对应连接的数据信号线接收复位电压Vinitial和数据信号Vdata。
例如,如图9A所示,每一列像素单元对应的两条数据信号线可以设置在本列像素单元的同一侧;或者,如图9B所示,每一列像素单元对应的两条数据信号线可以设置在本列像素单元的不同侧。需要说明的是,本公开的实施例对多条数据信号线的具体设置方式和位置不作限制。另外,本公开的实施例对多条扫描信号线和多条发光控制信号线的具体设置方式和位置亦不作限制。
本公开的至少一实施例提供的阵列基板1的技术效果可以参考上述实施例中关于像素电路10的相应描述,在此不再赘述。
本公开至少一实施例还提供一种显示装置。图10为本公开至少一实施例提供的一种显示装置的示意图。例如,如图10所示,该显示装置1000可以包括本公开上述任一实施例提供的阵列基板1,还可以包括扫描驱动电路2和数据驱动电路3。
例如,扫描驱动电路2可以与多条扫描信号线GL(即G_N-1、G_N、G_N+1和G_N+2等)连接,以提供扫描信号(例如,第一扫描信号SN1、第二扫描信号SN2、第三扫描信号SN3);同时,扫描驱动电路2还可以与多条发光控制信号线El(即E_N-1、E_N、E_N+1和E_N+2等)连接以提供发光控制信号EM。需要说明的是,第一扫描信号SN1、第二扫描信号SN2、第三扫描信号SN3都是相对而言的,例如,某一行的像素电路10的第一扫描信号SN1可以是下一行的像素电路10的第二扫描信号SN2,还可以是上一行的像素电路10的第三扫描信号SN3。例如,扫描驱动电路可以通过绑定的集成电路驱动芯片实现,也可以将扫描驱动电路直接集成在显示面板上构成GOA(Gate driver On Array)。
例如,数据驱动电路3可以与多条数据信号线DL(即D1_M、D2_M、D1_M+1、D2_M+1等)连接,以提供复位电压Vinitial和数据信号Vdata。例如,数据驱动电路可以通过绑定的集成电路驱动芯片实现。
该显示装置1000还可以包括其他部件,例如时序控制器、信号解码电路、电压转换电路等,这些部件例如可以采用常规部件或结构,在此不再赘述。
下面结合图4所示实施例中的驱动方法对该显示装置的逐行扫描过程进行描述,本实施例中的各个阶段可参考图4所示实施例中的相应描述。需要说明的是,在逐行扫描过程 过程中,控制信号例如扫描信号和发光控制信号都是根据时序信号逐行施加的。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的复位阶段t1之前的一个阶段t0(如图4所示),第N-2行的像素电路(图9A和图9B中未示出)处于数据写入和补偿阶段,此时,数据信号线D1(即图9A和图9B所示的D1_M、D1_M+1等)上提供第N-2行的像素电路的数据信号,第N行的像素电路的复位电路被第N-1行的像素电路的扫描信号(即第二扫描信号SN2)的低电平导通,但是由于第N行的像素电路的输入电路400被第N行的像素电路的扫描信号(即第一扫描信号SN1)截止,因此,第N行的像素电路不会受到影响。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的复位阶段t1,第N-2行的像素电路处于保持阶段;第N-1行的像素电路处于数据写入和补偿阶段,此时,数据信号线D2(即图9A和图9B所示的D2_M、D2_M+1等)上提供第N-1行的像素电路的数据信号;同时,数据信号线D1上提供复位电压Vinitial,从而,第N行的像素电路进行复位操作(可以参考图4和图5的相关描述)。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的数据写入和补偿阶段t2,第N-2行的像素电路处于发光阶段,第N-1行的像素电路处于保持阶段;数据信号线D1上提供第N行的像素电路的数据信号,从而,第N行的像素电路进行数据写入和补偿操作(可以参考图4和图6的相关描述);同时,数据信号线D2上提供复位电压Vinitial,以供第N+1行的像素电路进行复位操作(可以参考图4和图5的相关描述)。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的保持阶段t3,第N-1行的像素电路处于发光阶段;第N行的像素电路进行保持操作(可以参考图4和图7的相关描述);数据信号线D1上提供复位电压Vinitial,以供第N+2行的像素电路进行复位操作;第N+1行的像素电路处于数据写入和补偿阶段,此时,数据信号D2上提供第N+1行的像素电路的数据信号。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的发光阶段t4,第N行的像素电路进行发光操作(可以参考图4和图8的相关描述);第N+1行的像素电路处于保持阶段;第N+2行的像素电路处于数据写入和补偿阶段,数据信号线D1上提供第N+2行的像素电路的数据信号。
例如,在第N行的像素电路的发光阶段t4之后的一个阶段(图4中未示出),第N+1行的像素电路处于发光阶段。
综合上述,第N行的像素电路的发光阶段紧跟在第N-1行的像素电路的发光阶段之后,第N+1行的像素电路的发光阶段紧跟在第N行的像素电路的发光阶段之后。依次类推,从而该显示装置实现了逐行扫描显示。
例如,本实施例中的显示装置可以为:显示器、电视、电子纸显示装置、手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。需要说明的是,该显示装置还可以包括其他常规部件或结构,例如,为实现显示装置的必要功能,本领域技术人员可以根据具体应用场景设置其他的常规部件或结构,本公开的实施例对此不做限制。
