Description

像素单元驱动电路和方法、像素单元以及显示装置Pixel unit driving circuit and method, pixel unit and display device

技术领域 technical field

The drive circuit includes two transistors and a capacitor. One of the transistors is a switch tube T1, which is controlled by the scan signal Vscan output by the scan line. The purpose is to control the data line Data The other transistor is the drive tube T2, which controls the OLED to emit light; Cs is the storage capacitor, which is used to maintain the voltage applied to the drive tube T2 during the non-scanning period. The above circuit is called 2T1C pixel unit drive circuit.

AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode,有源矩阵有机发光二极管)能够发光是由驱动晶体管在饱和状态时产生的电流所驱动,因为输入相同的灰阶电压时,所述驱动晶体管的不同的阈值电压会导致产生不同的驱动电流,造成电流的不一致性。而LTPS(低温多晶硅技术)制程上阈值电压Vth的均匀性非常差,同时Vth也有漂移,因此传统的2T1C像素单元驱动电路的亮度均匀性一直很差。AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) can emit light is driven by the current generated by the driving transistor in the saturated state, because when the same gray scale voltage is input, the different threshold voltages of the driving transistor It will lead to different driving currents, resulting in inconsistency of the current. However, the uniformity of the threshold voltage Vth on the LTPS (low temperature polysilicon technology) process is very poor, and Vth also drifts, so the brightness uniformity of the traditional 2T1C pixel unit driving circuit has always been poor.

如图4A所示,本发明第三实施例所述的像素单元驱动电路工作时,在第一时间段,即预充电阶段,所述扫描线SCAN和所述第二控制线CR2输出低电位,所述第一控制线CR1和所述控制线CR3输出高电位,以控制T1和T3关闭,并控制T2、T4和T5导通(在图4A中,由于T2、T4和T5导通,因此未示出T2、T4和T5,而是以导线替代;并且,由于T1关闭则DTFT的漏极与OLED之间的通路关断,因此图4A中未示出T1和OLED;由于T3关闭,因此图4A中未示出T3),数据线Data上的电压Vdata输入,所述存储电容Cs被充电,DTFT的栅极(即A点)和漏极的电压均为0,DTFT的源极电压为所述电源线上的电压VDD,因此DTFT的栅源电压Vgs=-VDD,其远小于DTFT的阈值电压Vth,此时DTFT实为一个二极管进入饱和状态。As shown in FIG. 4A, when the pixel unit driving circuit according to the third embodiment of the present invention is working, in the first time period, that is, the pre-charging phase, the scan line SCAN and the second control line CR2 output a low potential, The first control line CR1 and the control line CR3 output a high potential to control T1 and T3 to be turned off, and to control T2, T4, and T5 to be turned on (in FIG. 4A, since T2, T4, and T5 are turned on, there is no T2, T4, and T5 are shown, but are replaced by wires; and, since T1 is closed, the path between the drain of the DTFT and the OLED is closed, so T1 and OLED are not shown in Figure 4A; since T3 is closed, the figure T3 is not shown in 4A), the voltage Vdata on the data line Data is input, the storage capacitor Cs is charged, the voltage of the gate (namely point A) and the drain of the DTFT are both 0, and the source voltage of the DTFT is The voltage VDD on the above-mentioned power line, so the gate-source voltage Vgs=-VDD of the DTFT, which is much smaller than the threshold voltage Vth of the DTFT, at this time the DTFT is actually a diode and enters a saturated state.

如图4B所示,本发明第三实施例所述的像素单元驱动电路工作时,在第二时间段,所述第二控制线CR2输出高电位,以控制T2关闭,A点(即DTFT的栅极)断开与地线GND的连接,(图4B与图4A的区别在于,由于T2关闭,因此A点断开与地线的连接)所述存储电容Cs经过T4和DTFT开始放电,直到DTFT的栅源极电压Vgs为阈值电压Vth,即DTFT的栅极电压VA=VDD+Vth,此时所述存储电容Cs的第二端和第一端之间的电压差值为Vdata-VDD-Vth。As shown in FIG. 4B, when the pixel unit driving circuit described in the third embodiment of the present invention is working, in the second time period, the second control line CR2 outputs a high potential to control T2 to be turned off, and point A (that is, the DTFT Gate) is disconnected from the ground wire GND, (the difference between Figure 4B and Figure 4A is that because T2 is closed, point A is disconnected from the ground wire) the storage capacitor Cs starts to discharge through T4 and DTFT until The gate-source voltage Vgs of the DTFT is the threshold voltage Vth, that is, the gate voltage of the DTFT VA=VDD+Vth, at this time, the voltage difference between the second terminal and the first terminal of the storage capacitor Cs is Vdata-VDD- Vth.

如图4C所示,本发明第三实施例所述的像素单元驱动电路工作时,在第三时间段,所述扫描线SCAN输出高电位,以控制T4、T5关闭,所述第三控制线CR3输出低电位,以控制T3打开,所述第一控制线CR1输出低电位,以控制T1打开(图4C与图4B的区别在于,由于T1开启,因此增加了DTFT的漏极与OLED的阳极的连接;并且由于T4关闭,则A点断开了与DTFT的漏极的连接;由于T5关闭、T3打开,因此Cs的第二端断开与数据线Data的连接,并且增加了Cs的第二端与OLED的阳极的连接),DTFT工作于饱和区以驱动电流流过所述OLED,使其发光,此时,所述存储电容Cs的第二端的电压变为VDD,如此所述存储电容Cs的第一端的电压将发生突变,以使得所述存储电容Cs的第二端和第一端之间的电压差值恒定,所以所述存储电容Cs的第一端的电压即DTFT的栅极电压VA=VDD+Vth-Vdata+VDD,此时,流过所述OLED的电流I的计算公式为由公式(1)所示:As shown in FIG. 4C, when the pixel unit driving circuit described in the third embodiment of the present invention is working, in the third time period, the scanning line SCAN outputs a high potential to control T4 and T5 to be turned off, and the third control line CR3 outputs a low potential to control the opening of T3, and the first control line CR1 outputs a low potential to control the opening of T1 (the difference between Figure 4C and Figure 4B is that since T1 is turned on, the drain of the DTFT and the anode of the OLED are added and because T4 is closed, point A is disconnected from the drain of DTFT; because T5 is closed and T3 is open, the second end of Cs is disconnected from the data line Data, and the second end of Cs is increased The two terminals are connected to the anode of the OLED), and the DTFT works in the saturation region to drive current to flow through the OLED to make it emit light. At this time, the voltage of the second terminal of the storage capacitor Cs becomes VDD, so that the storage capacitor The voltage at the first end of Cs will change abruptly, so that the voltage difference between the second end and the first end of the storage capacitor Cs is constant, so the voltage at the first end of the storage capacitor Cs is the gate voltage of the DTFT Pole voltage VA=VDD+Vth-Vdata+VDD, at this time, the calculation formula of the current I flowing through the OLED is shown in formula (1):

I=K×(Vgs-Vth)2 I=K×(Vgs-Vth) 2

=K×{(VDD+Vth-Vdata+VDD)-Vth}2 =K×{(VDD+Vth-Vdata+VDD)-Vth} 2

=K×(2VDD-Vdata)2;                    公式(1)=K×(2VDD-Vdata) 2 ; formula (1)

其中,K为DTFT的电流系数;Among them, K is the current coefficient of DTFT;

KK == CC oxox ·· μμ ·· WW LL ;;

μ、COX、W、L分别为DTFT的场效应迁移率,栅绝缘层单位面积电容、沟道宽度、长度;μ, C OX , W, L are the field-effect mobility of DTFT, the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating layer, the channel width, and the length;

第三时间段为OLED发光阶段,所述OLED将持续发光到下一帧数据写入。The third time period is the OLED light-emitting stage, and the OLED will continue to emit light until the next frame of data is written.

如此便使得流过所述OLED的电流不受DTFT的阈值电压Vth的影响,以改善流过所述OLED的电流的均匀性,达到OLED面板的亮度的均匀。In this way, the current flowing through the OLED is not affected by the threshold voltage Vth of the DTFT, so as to improve the uniformity of the current flowing through the OLED and achieve uniform brightness of the OLED panel.
