Description

显示面板和像素电路Display panel and pixel circuit

技术领域technical field

本公开涉及一种显示面板和像素电路,特别涉及一种可调制发光时间的像素电路。The present disclosure relates to a display panel and a pixel circuit, in particular to a pixel circuit capable of modulating light emitting time.

背景技术Background technique

目前的制程技术制作出的微发光二极管(micro light-emitting diode),在流过不同电流时会产生色偏。因此,使用微发光二极管做为发光元件的显示面板,大都会固定微发光二极管的导通电流,并以调制微发光二极管在每一帧画面中的导通时间的方式,来使人眼感受到不同亮度的画面。对于显示装置中用于驱动像素电路发光的主要电源信号而言,其经常因为需要提供大电流以点亮多个微发光二极管,使得其电压因为负载效应而降低。若像素电路中负责控制微发光二极管的导通时间的电路是使用前述主要电源信号做为控制信号,则显示面板中不同位置的像素电路会因为接收到的主要电源信号的压降程度不同,而在控制微发光二极管的导通与关断时具有不同程度的时间误差。此外,用于像素电路的薄膜晶体管(thin-film transistor,简称TFT)经常因为制程因素而产生特性变异,亦即显示面板不同位置的薄膜晶体管会具有不同的特性。薄膜晶体管特性不均匀的问题亦会影响显示面板控制微发光二极管的导通时间的准确度。因此,如何提供能准确控制微发光二极管的导通时间的显示面板和像素电路,实为业界有待解决的问题。The micro light-emitting diodes produced by the current process technology will produce color shift when different currents flow through them. Therefore, for display panels using micro-LEDs as light-emitting elements, the conduction current of the micro-light-emitting diodes is mostly fixed, and the conduction time of the micro-light-emitting diodes in each frame is modulated to make the human eye feel Screens with different brightness. For the main power signal used to drive the pixel circuit to emit light in the display device, it often needs to provide a large current to light up a plurality of micro light emitting diodes, so that its voltage is reduced due to the load effect. If the circuit responsible for controlling the turn-on time of the micro-LED in the pixel circuit uses the main power signal as the control signal, the pixel circuits at different positions in the display panel will have different voltage drops due to the received main power signal. There are different degrees of time errors when controlling the turn-on and turn-off of the micro light emitting diodes. In addition, thin-film transistors (TFT for short) used in pixel circuits often have characteristic variations due to process factors, that is, thin-film transistors at different positions of the display panel have different characteristics. The non-uniform characteristics of the thin film transistors will also affect the accuracy of the display panel to control the turn-on time of the micro light emitting diodes. Therefore, how to provide a display panel and a pixel circuit capable of accurately controlling the turn-on time of micro-LEDs is a problem to be solved in the industry.

Specifically, the writing circuit 210 includes a first switch SW1 and a second switch SW2. The first switch SW1 includes a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal.

在本实施例中,第一开关SW1的控制端用于接收第一控制信号S1,第二开关SW2的控制端用于接收第二控制信号S2。第一开关SW1的第二端以及第二开关SW2的第二端都耦接于同一条数据线R1,以通过数据线R1自源极驱动器102分别接收第一数据信号D1与第二数据信号D2。In this embodiment, the control terminal of the first switch SW1 is used to receive the first control signal S1, and the control terminal of the second switch SW2 is used to receive the second control signal S2. Both the second terminal of the first switch SW1 and the second terminal of the second switch SW2 are coupled to the same data line R1, so as to respectively receive the first data signal D1 and the second data signal D2 from the source driver 102 through the data line R1 .

在某些实施例中,像素电路110的第一开关SW1的第二端以及第二开关SW2的第二端亦可以分别耦接于不同的数据线,并分别通过不同的数据线自源极驱动器102接收第一数据信号D1与第二数据信号D2。In some embodiments, the second end of the first switch SW1 and the second end of the second switch SW2 of the pixel circuit 110 may also be respectively coupled to different data lines, and are respectively connected to the source driver via different data lines. 102 receives the first data signal D1 and the second data signal D2.

控制电路220耦接于第一节点N1和第二节点N2,用于依据发光控制信号Vpwm调整第二节点N2的第二节点电压V2。具体而言,控制电路220包含第二晶体管T2和第二电容C2。第二晶体管T2包含第一端、第二端和控制端。第二晶体管T2的第一端用于接收参考电压Vx,第二端耦接于第一节点N1,控制端耦则接于第二节点N2。第二电容C2包含第一端和第二端。第二电容C2的第一端用于接收发光控制信号Vpwm,第二端则耦接于第二节点N2。The control circuit 220 is coupled to the first node N1 and the second node N2, and is used for adjusting the second node voltage V2 of the second node N2 according to the light emission control signal Vpwm. Specifically, the control circuit 220 includes a second transistor T2 and a second capacitor C2. The second transistor T2 includes a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal.

The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is used for receiving the light emission control signal Vpwm, and the second terminal is coupled to the second node N2.

当第二节点电压V2低于预设电压值时,控制电路220会将参考电压Vx输出至第一节点N1,以将第一节点N1的第一节点电压V1设置为等于参考电压Vx,其中参考电压Vx高于或等于第一驱动信号VDD的电压电平。如此一来,便可以决定第一晶体管T1的导通时间,控制电路220的详细运行将于后续段落中进一步说明。When the second node voltage V2 is lower than the preset voltage value, the control circuit 220 will output the reference voltage Vx to the first node N1, so as to set the first node voltage V1 of the first node N1 equal to the reference voltage Vx, wherein the reference The voltage Vx is higher than or equal to the voltage level of the first driving signal VDD. In this way, the conduction time of the first transistor T1 can be determined, and the detailed operation of the control circuit 220 will be further explained in the following paragraphs.

实作上,第一开关SW1、第二开关SW2、第一晶体管T1与第二晶体管T2可以用P型薄膜晶体管来实现,或是用其他合适种类的P型晶体管来实现。发光单元EU可以用有机发光二极管(organic light-emitting diode)或是微发光二极管来实现。In practice, the first switch SW1 , the second switch SW2 , the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be realized by P-type thin film transistors, or by other suitable types of P-type transistors. The light-emitting unit EU can be realized by organic light-emitting diodes (organic light-emitting diodes) or micro-light-emitting diodes.

图3为依据本公开一实施例的显示面板100的控制信号简化后的波形示意图。以下将以图2搭配图3来进一步说明像素电路110的运行。在本实施例中,参考电压Vx具有固定电压电平。于写入阶段,第一驱动信号VDD维持于第一电压电平L1,第二驱动信号VSS自第二电压电平L2切换至第一电压电平L1,其中第一电压电平L1高于第二电压电平L2。如此一来,可以确保发光单元EU维持于关断状态。FIG. 3 is a simplified waveform diagram of a control signal of the display panel 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The operation of the pixel circuit 110 will be further described below with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . In this embodiment, the reference voltage Vx has a fixed voltage level. In the writing stage, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is switched from the second voltage level L2 to the first voltage level L1, wherein the first voltage level L1 is higher than the first voltage level L1. Two voltage levels L2. In this way, it can ensure that the light emitting unit EU remains in the off state.

另外,发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3。第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[n]会按序由禁能电平(例如,高电压电平)切换至使能电平(例如,低电压电平),第二控制信号S2[1]~S2[n]也会按序由禁能电平切换至使能电平。在相邻的两个第一控制信号S1按序切换至使能电平的期间,会有一个第二控制信号S2切换至使能电平。相似地,在相邻的两个第二控制信号S2按序切换至使能电平的期间,会有一个第一控制信号S1切换至使能电平。In addition, the light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3. The first control signals S1[1]˜S1[n] will switch from a disabled level (for example, a high voltage level) to an enabled level (for example, a low voltage level) in sequence, and the second control signal S2[ 1]~S2[n] will also be switched from disabled level to enabled level in sequence. During the period when two adjacent first control signals S1 are sequentially switched to the enable level, one second control signal S2 is switched to the enable level. Similarly, when two adjacent second control signals S2 are sequentially switched to the enable level, one first control signal S1 is switched to the enable level.

例如,如图3所示,第一控制信号S1[1]和第一控制信号S1[2]切换至使能电平的期间,第二控制信号S2[1]会切换至使能电平。第二控制信号S2[1]和第二控制信号S2[2]切换至使能电平的期间,第一控制信号S1[2]会切换至使能电平。For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , while the first control signal S1 [ 1 ] and the first control signal S1 [ 2 ] are switched to the enable level, the second control signal S2 [ 1 ] is switched to the enable level. During the period when the second control signal S2[1] and the second control signal S2[2] are switched to the enable level, the first control signal S1[2] is switched to the enable level.

换言之,于写入阶段,像素电路110的第一开关SW1和第二开关SW2会按序导通。因此,第一数据信号D1会先被传递至第一节点N1,接着第二数据信号D2会被传递至第二节点N2。值得一提的是,第二数据信号D2会将第二节点电压V2设置为高于参考电压Vx以关断第二晶体管T2。In other words, in the writing phase, the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 of the pixel circuit 110 are sequentially turned on. Therefore, the first data signal D1 is transmitted to the first node N1 first, and then the second data signal D2 is transmitted to the second node N2. It is worth mentioning that the second data signal D2 sets the second node voltage V2 higher than the reference voltage Vx to turn off the second transistor T2.

于发光阶段,第一驱动信号VDD维持于第一电压电平L1,第二驱动信号VSS则会自第一电压电平L1切换至第二电压电平L2以导通发光单元EU。发光控制信号Vpwm自第三电压电平L3逐渐下降,因而具有斜坡脉冲波型。第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[n]与第二控制信号S2[1]~S2[n]都维持于禁能电平。因此,像素电路110的第一开关SW1与第二开关SW2都维持于关断状态。In the light-emitting phase, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is switched from the first voltage level L1 to the second voltage level L2 to turn on the light-emitting unit EU. The light emitting control signal Vpwm gradually decreases from the third voltage level L3, thus having a ramp pulse waveform. Both the first control signals S1[1]˜S1[n] and the second control signals S2[1]˜S2[n] are maintained at the disabled level. Therefore, both the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 of the pixel circuit 110 are kept in an off state.

以下将以图4来进一步说明像素电路110于发光阶段中的运行。如图4所示,发光阶段包含第一子时段与第二子时段。The operation of the pixel circuit 110 in the light-emitting phase will be further described below with reference to FIG. 4 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the light-emitting phase includes a first sub-period and a second sub-period.

于第一子时段中,像素电路110的等效电路如图5A所示。第一晶体管T1会依据第一节点电压V1产生如以下《公式1》所示的驱动电流Idr,以点亮发光单元EU:In the first sub-period, the equivalent circuit of the pixel circuit 110 is as shown in FIG. 5A . The first transistor T1 generates a driving current Idr as shown in the following "Formula 1" according to the first node voltage V1 to light up the light emitting unit EU:

其中,Vth1表示第一晶体管T1的临界电压。k代表第一晶体管T1的载子迁移率(carrier mobility)、栅极氧化层的单位电容大小以及栅极宽长比三者的乘积。Wherein, Vth1 represents the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1. k represents the product of the carrier mobility of the first transistor T1 , the unit capacitance of the gate oxide layer, and the gate width-to-length ratio.

随着发光控制信号Vpwm的电压电平逐渐下降,第二节点电压V2亦会因为第二电容C2的电容耦合效应而逐渐下降。由于此时的第二节点电压V2仍高于以下《公式2》所示的预设电压值,所以第二晶体管T2会维持于关断状态:As the voltage level of the light emission control signal Vpwm gradually decreases, the second node voltage V2 will also gradually decrease due to the capacitive coupling effect of the second capacitor C2. Since the second node voltage V2 at this time is still higher than the preset voltage value shown in the following "Formula 2", the second transistor T2 will remain in the off state:

Vp=Vx-|Vth2| 《公式2》Vp=Vx-|Vth2|《Formula 2》

其中,Vth2表示第二晶体管T2的临界电压。Vp代表前述的预设电压值。Wherein, Vth2 represents the threshold voltage of the second transistor T2. Vp represents the aforementioned preset voltage value.

接着,于第二子时段,像素电路110的等效电路如图5B所示。随着发光控制信号Vpwm的电压电平继续下降,第二节点电压V2会下降至小于《公式2》所示的预设电压值。因此,第二晶体管T2会被导通且参考电压Vx会传递至第一节点N1,使得第一节点电压V1等于参考电压Vx。在本实施例中,参考电压Vx会高于或等于第一驱动信号VDD的第一电压电平L1。因此,于第二子时段,第一晶体管T1会自导通状态被切换至关断状态。Next, in the second sub-period, the equivalent circuit of the pixel circuit 110 is as shown in FIG. 5B . As the voltage level of the lighting control signal Vpwm continues to decrease, the second node voltage V2 will decrease to be less than the preset voltage value shown in <Formula 2>. Therefore, the second transistor T2 is turned on and the reference voltage Vx is transmitted to the first node N1, so that the first node voltage V1 is equal to the reference voltage Vx. In this embodiment, the reference voltage Vx is higher than or equal to the first voltage level L1 of the first driving signal VDD. Therefore, in the second sub-period, the first transistor T1 is switched from the on state to the off state.

由上述可知,驱动电流Idri会负相关于第一节点电压V1被第一数据信号D1所设置的大小。第一子时段的长度会正相关于第二节点电压V2被第二数据信号D2所设置的大小。因此,通过固定第一数据信号D1的电压电平,且调制第二数据信号D2的电压电平,便可控制像素电路110的发光时间,并使其产生固定大小的驱动电流Idr。It can be seen from the above that the driving current Idri is negatively correlated with the magnitude of the first node voltage V1 set by the first data signal D1. The length of the first sub-period is positively related to the magnitude of the second node voltage V2 set by the second data signal D2. Therefore, by fixing the voltage level of the first data signal D1 and modulating the voltage level of the second data signal D2, the light-emitting time of the pixel circuit 110 can be controlled to generate a fixed driving current Idr.

换言之,像素电路110可以避免发光单元EU因为流过不同大小的电流而产生色偏的问题。像素电路110还可以通过不同的发光时间,于多帧画面中以近似积分的方式使人眼感受到不同亮度的显示画面。In other words, the pixel circuit 110 can avoid the problem of color shift in the light emitting unit EU due to the flow of currents of different magnitudes. The pixel circuit 110 can also make the human eyes perceive the display images with different brightness in a multi-frame image in an approximate integration manner through different light-emitting times.

在上述的实施例中,第一驱动信号VDD是直流信号,而第二驱动信号VSS是交流信号,以于写入阶段关断发光单元EU,并于发光阶段导通发光单元EU。然而,本发明并不以上述实施例为限,第一驱动信号VDD与第二驱动信号VSS的电压电平可依据实际需求设置In the above-mentioned embodiments, the first driving signal VDD is a DC signal, and the second driving signal VSS is an AC signal, so as to turn off the light emitting unit EU during the writing phase and turn on the light emitting unit EU during the light emitting phase. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the voltage levels of the first driving signal VDD and the second driving signal VSS can be set according to actual needs.

例如,在某些实施例中,第一驱动信号VDD会于写入阶段自第一电压电平L1切换至第二电压电平L2,并于发光阶段由第二电压电平L2切换至第一电压电平L1,而第二驱动信号VSS则会维持于第二电压电平L2。For example, in some embodiments, the first driving signal VDD is switched from the first voltage level L1 to the second voltage level L2 during the writing phase, and switched from the second voltage level L2 to the first voltage level during the light emitting phase. The voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is maintained at the second voltage level L2.

图6为依据本公开一实施例的像素电路610简化后的功能方框图。像素电路610相似于像素电路110,且显示面板100的像素电路110可置换为像素电路610。FIG. 6 is a simplified functional block diagram of a pixel circuit 610 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The pixel circuit 610 is similar to the pixel circuit 110 , and the pixel circuit 110 of the display panel 100 can be replaced by the pixel circuit 610 .

像素电路610与像素电路110的差异在于,像素电路610的第一开关SW1与第二开关SW2的控制端共同用于接收第一控制信号S1。另外,像素电路610的第一开关SW1的第二端耦接于数据线R1,以自数据线R1接收第一数据信号,第二开关SW2的第二端则耦接于另一条数据线R2,以自数据线R2接收第二数据信号。The difference between the pixel circuit 610 and the pixel circuit 110 is that the control terminals of the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 of the pixel circuit 610 are used to receive the first control signal S1 together. In addition, the second end of the first switch SW1 of the pixel circuit 610 is coupled to the data line R1 to receive the first data signal from the data line R1, and the second end of the second switch SW2 is coupled to another data line R2, to receive a second data signal from the data line R2.

换言之,于写入阶段中,当第一数据信号D1传递至第一节点N1时,第二数据信号D2也会一并传递至第二节点N2。如此一来,可以缩短写入阶段的时间长度。前述像素电路110的其余连接方式、元件、实施方式以及优点,皆适用于像素电路610,为简洁起见,在此不重复赘述。In other words, in the writing phase, when the first data signal D1 is transmitted to the first node N1, the second data signal D2 is also transmitted to the second node N2. In this way, the duration of the writing phase can be shortened. The other connection methods, components, implementations and advantages of the aforementioned pixel circuit 110 are all applicable to the pixel circuit 610 , and are not repeated here for the sake of brevity.

图7为依据本公开一实施例的显示面板700简化后的功能方框图。显示面板700相似于显示面板100,差异在于显示面板700包含多个像素电路710与比较电路720,且显示面板700对应地提供多个第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[n]、多个第二控制信号S2[1]~S2[n]以及多个第三控制信号S3[1]~S3[n]至多列的像素电路710。FIG. 7 is a simplified functional block diagram of a display panel 700 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The display panel 700 is similar to the display panel 100, the difference is that the display panel 700 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 710 and comparison circuits 720, and the display panel 700 correspondingly provides a plurality of first control signals S1[1]˜S1[n], a plurality of The second control signals S2 [ 1 ]˜S2 [n] and the plurality of third control signals S3 [ 1 ]˜S3 [n] are sent to the pixel circuits 710 of multiple columns.

比较电路720耦接于多个像素电路710,且用于调整第一数据信号D1的电压电平,以补偿显示面板700不同位置的像素电路710的特性变异。实作上,比较电路720可以整合于源极驱动器102之中,亦可以用不同于源极驱动器102的电路来实现。比较电路720的详细运行将于后续段落中进一步说明。The comparison circuit 720 is coupled to the plurality of pixel circuits 710 and is used for adjusting the voltage level of the first data signal D1 to compensate characteristic variations of the pixel circuits 710 at different positions of the display panel 700 . In practice, the comparison circuit 720 can be integrated in the source driver 102 , and can also be realized by a circuit different from the source driver 102 . The detailed operation of the comparison circuit 720 will be further explained in the following paragraphs.

图8为图7的像素电路710的功能方框图。像素电路710相似于前述的像素电路110,差异在于,像素电路710还包含第三开关SW3。第三开关SW3包含第一端、第二端和控制端。第三开关SW3的第一端耦接于比较电路720,第二端耦接于第一晶体管T1的第二端,控制端则用于接收第三控制信号S3。FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram of the pixel circuit 710 in FIG. 7 . The pixel circuit 710 is similar to the aforementioned pixel circuit 110 , the difference is that the pixel circuit 710 further includes a third switch SW3 . The third switch SW3 includes a first terminal, a second terminal and a control terminal. The first terminal of the third switch SW3 is coupled to the comparison circuit 720 , the second terminal is coupled to the second terminal of the first transistor T1 , and the control terminal is used to receive the third control signal S3 .

图9为依据本公开一实施例的显示面板700的控制信号简化后的波形示意图。以下将以图8搭配图9进一步说明像素电路710的运行。FIG. 9 is a simplified waveform diagram of a control signal of the display panel 700 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The operation of the pixel circuit 710 will be further described below with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 .

于重置阶段,第一驱动信号VDD维持于第一电压电平L1,且第二驱动信号VSS自第二电压电平L2切换至第一电压电平L1,其中第一电压电平L1高于第二电压电平L2。发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3,参考电压Vx维持于第四电压电平L4。第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[n]会切换至使能电平。接着,在第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[n]切换至禁能电平之后,第二控制信号S2[1]~S2[n]才切换至使能电平。第三控制信号S3则维持于禁能电平,以关断第三开关SW3。In the reset phase, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is switched from the second voltage level L2 to the first voltage level L1, wherein the first voltage level L1 is higher than The second voltage level L2. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3, and the reference voltage Vx is maintained at the fourth voltage level L4. The first control signals S1[1]˜S1[n] are switched to enable levels. Then, after the first control signals S1[1]˜S1[n] are switched to the disabled level, the second control signals S2[1]˜S2[n] are switched to the enabled level. The third control signal S3 is maintained at a disabled level to turn off the third switch SW3.

因此,第一开关SW1会先被导通,使得第一数据信号D1传递至第一节点N1,以设置第一节点电压V1。接着,在第一开关SW1关断之后,第二开关SW2才被导通,使得第二数据信号D2传递至第二节点N2,以设置第二节点电压V2。值得注意的是,第一节点电压V1会低于第一驱动信号VDD的第一电压电平L1,以使第一晶体管T1导通。第二节点电压V2会高于参考电压Vx的第四电压电平L4,以使第二晶体管T2关断。Therefore, the first switch SW1 is turned on first, so that the first data signal D1 is transmitted to the first node N1 to set the first node voltage V1. Then, after the first switch SW1 is turned off, the second switch SW2 is turned on, so that the second data signal D2 is transmitted to the second node N2 to set the second node voltage V2. It should be noted that the first node voltage V1 is lower than the first voltage level L1 of the first driving signal VDD, so as to turn on the first transistor T1. The second node voltage V2 is higher than the fourth voltage level L4 of the reference voltage Vx, so that the second transistor T2 is turned off.

于补偿阶段,第一驱动信号VDD和第二驱动信号VSS维持于第一电压电平L1。发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3,且参考电压Vx维持于第四电压电平L4。第一控制信号S1和第二控制信号S2切换至禁能电平,以关断第一开关SW1和第二开关SW2。第三控制信号S3切换至使能电平,以导通第三开关SW3。In the compensation stage, the first driving signal VDD and the second driving signal VSS are maintained at the first voltage level L1. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3, and the reference voltage Vx is maintained at the fourth voltage level L4. The first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 are switched to a disable level to turn off the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2. The third control signal S3 is switched to enable level to turn on the third switch SW3.

因此,像素电路710会形成如图10所示的等效电路。此时,第一晶体管T1会依据第一节点电压V1产生驱动电流Idr。驱动电流Idr会经由第三开关SW3流至比较电路720,且比较电路720会将驱动电流Idr和事先存储的预设电流值进行比较。Therefore, the pixel circuit 710 forms an equivalent circuit as shown in FIG. 10 . At this time, the first transistor T1 generates a driving current Idr according to the first node voltage V1. The driving current Idr flows to the comparison circuit 720 through the third switch SW3, and the comparison circuit 720 compares the driving current Idr with a pre-stored preset current value.

由前述《公式1》可知,驱动电流Idr的大小会负相关于第一节点电压V1,并负相关于第一晶体管T1的临界电压。因此,当比较电路720发现驱动电流Idr不等于预设电流值时,比较电路720会判断第一晶体管T1的临界电压发生变异。此时,比较电路720会输出调整信号AD至源极驱动器102,以将第一数据信号D1的电压电平设置为正相关于驱动电流Idr的大小,以补偿第一晶体管T1的临界电压变异。It can be known from the aforementioned "Formula 1" that the magnitude of the driving current Idr is negatively correlated with the first node voltage V1 and negatively correlated with the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1. Therefore, when the comparison circuit 720 finds that the driving current Idr is not equal to the preset current value, the comparison circuit 720 will determine that the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 has changed. At this time, the comparison circuit 720 outputs the adjustment signal AD to the source driver 102 to set the voltage level of the first data signal D1 to be positively related to the magnitude of the driving current Idr to compensate the threshold voltage variation of the first transistor T1 .

在接下来的写入阶段与发光阶段中,第三控制信号S3会维持于禁能电平,以使第三晶体管T3维持于关断状态。前述像素电路110于写入阶段与发光阶段的其余运行方式以及优点,皆适用于像素电路710,为简洁起见,在此不重复赘述。In the following write-in phase and light-emitting phase, the third control signal S3 is maintained at a disable level, so that the third transistor T3 is kept in an off state. The rest of the operation modes and advantages of the aforementioned pixel circuit 110 in the write-in phase and the light-emitting phase are applicable to the pixel circuit 710 , and for the sake of brevity, the details are not repeated here.

在某些像素电路710的第一开关SW1和第二开关SW2分别耦接于不同数据线的实施例中,第一开关SW1和第二开关SW2于重置阶段及/或写入阶段可以同时导通,以缩短重置阶段及/或写入阶段的时间长度。In some embodiments in which the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 of the pixel circuit 710 are respectively coupled to different data lines, the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 can be turned on at the same time during the reset phase and/or the write phase. pass to shorten the length of the reset phase and/or the write phase.

由上述可知,第一电压信号D1的电压电平会依据第一晶体管T1的临界电压变异而被适应性地调整。因此,即使显示面板700中不同区域的多个第一晶体管T1具有不同的特性,这些第一晶体管T1仍能于发光阶段产生相同大小的驱动电流Idr。换言之,显示面板700可以克服制程中的不稳定因素而提供高品质的显示画面。From the above, it can be seen that the voltage level of the first voltage signal D1 is adaptively adjusted according to the variation of the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 . Therefore, even though the first transistors T1 in different regions of the display panel 700 have different characteristics, the first transistors T1 can still generate the same driving current Idr in the light-emitting phase. In other words, the display panel 700 can overcome unstable factors in the manufacturing process and provide high-quality display images.

In this embodiment, the reference voltage Vx has a fixed voltage level. In the compensation stage, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, the second driving signal VSS is switched from the second voltage level L2 to the first voltage level L1, and the first voltage level L1 is higher than the second voltage level L1. Voltage level L2. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3. In addition, the fourth control signals S4[1]˜S4[n] are switched to enable levels in sequence. Both the fifth control signals S5[1]˜S5[n] and the sixth control signals S6[1]˜S6[n] are maintained at the disable level.

因此,于补偿阶段,第九开关SW9维持于关断状态。重置电压Vset会先经由第八开关SW8传递至第一节点N1,以将第一节点电压V1重置为重置电压Vset。接着,在第八开关SW8由导通状态切换至关断状态后,第一数据信号D1会经由第四开关SW4和第五开关SW5对第一节点N1进行充电,直到第一节点电压V1等于以下《公式3》所示的电压值:Therefore, in the compensation stage, the ninth switch SW9 is kept in an off state. The reset voltage Vset is first transmitted to the first node N1 through the eighth switch SW8 to reset the first node voltage V1 to the reset voltage Vset. Next, after the eighth switch SW8 is switched from the on state to the off state, the first data signal D1 will charge the first node N1 through the fourth switch SW4 and the fifth switch SW5 until the voltage V1 of the first node is equal to or below The voltage value shown in "Formula 3":

V1=D1-|Vth1| 《公式3》V1=D1-|Vth1|《Formula 3》

接着,于写入阶段,第一驱动信号VDD与第二驱动信号VSS维持于第一电压电平L1。发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3。另外,第六控制信号S6[1]~S6[n]会按序切换至使能电平。第四控制信号S4[1]~S4[n]与第五控制信号S5[1]~S5[n]都维持于禁能电平。Next, in the writing phase, the first driving signal VDD and the second driving signal VSS are maintained at the first voltage level L1. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3. In addition, the sixth control signals S6[1]˜S6[n] are switched to enable levels in sequence. Both the fourth control signals S4[1]˜S4[n] and the fifth control signals S5[1]˜S5[n] are maintained at the disable level.

因此,于写入阶段,第四开关SW4、第五开关SW5、第六开关SW6、第七开关SW7以及第八开关SW8维持于关断状态。第二数据信号D2会经由第九开关SW9传递至第二节点N2,以设置第二节点电压V2。Therefore, in the writing phase, the fourth switch SW4 , the fifth switch SW5 , the sixth switch SW6 , the seventh switch SW7 and the eighth switch SW8 are kept in the off state. The second data signal D2 is transmitted to the second node N2 through the ninth switch SW9 to set the second node voltage V2.

接着,于发光阶段,第一驱动信号VDD维持于第一电压电平L1,第二驱动信号VSS自第一电压电平L1切换至第二电压电平L2。发光控制信号Vpwm自第三电压电平L3逐渐下降,因而具有斜坡脉冲波形。另外,第四控制信号S4[1]~S4[n]与第六控制信号S6[1]~S6[n]都维持于禁能电平。第五控制信号S5[1]~S5[n]则切换至使能电平。Next, in the light-emitting phase, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is switched from the first voltage level L1 to the second voltage level L2.

The fifth control signals S5[1]˜S5[n] are switched to enable levels.

因此,第四开关SW4、第五开关SW5、第八开关SW8和第九开关SW9会处于关断状态。第六开关SW6和第七开关SW7会处于导通状态。第二节点电压V2会因为第二电容C2的电容耦合效应,而随着发光控制信号Vpwm逐渐下降。第一晶体管T1会产生如以下《公式4》所示的驱动电流Idr:Therefore, the fourth switch SW4 , the fifth switch SW5 , the eighth switch SW8 and the ninth switch SW9 will be in an off state. The sixth switch SW6 and the seventh switch SW7 are turned on. Due to the capacitive coupling effect of the second capacitor C2, the second node voltage V2 gradually decreases along with the light emission control signal Vpwm. The first transistor T1 will generate a driving current Idr as shown in the following "Formula 4":

在本实施例中,参考电压Vx会高于或等于第一驱动信号VDD的第一电压电平L1。因此,第一晶体管T1会持续产生驱动电流Idr,直到第二节点电压V2下降至小于前述《公式2》所示的预设电压值。当第二节点电压V2小于前述《公式2》所示的预设电压值,第二晶体管会T2导通,使得第一节点电压V1被设置为参考电压Vx,进而使得第一晶体管T1切换至关断状态。In this embodiment, the reference voltage Vx is higher than or equal to the first voltage level L1 of the first driving signal VDD. Therefore, the first transistor T1 will continue to generate the driving current Idr until the voltage V2 of the second node drops below the preset voltage value shown in the aforementioned <Formula 2>. When the second node voltage V2 is less than the preset voltage value shown in the aforementioned "Formula 2", the second transistor T2 is turned on, so that the first node voltage V1 is set as the reference voltage Vx, and then the first transistor T1 is switched to off. off state.

Therefore, the display panel 1100 can overcome unstable factors in the manufacturing process and provide high-quality display images. Additionally, in some embodiments, the order of the compensation phase and the write phase of FIG. 13 may be reversed.

The reference voltage Vx will charge the second node N2 through the eleventh switch SW11 until the second node voltage V2 is equal to the voltage value shown in the following "Formula 5":

V2=L5-|Vth2| 《公式5》V2=L5-|Vth2|《Formula 5》

接着,于第一写入阶段,第一驱动信号VDD和第二驱动信号VSS维持于第一电压电平L1。发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3,参考电压Vx维持于第五电压电平L5。第十控制信号S10[1]~S10[n]会按序切换至使能电平。第七控制信号S7、第八控制信号S8、第九控制信号S9、第十一控制信号S11以及第十二控制信号S12则具有禁能电平。Next, in the first writing phase, the first driving signal VDD and the second driving signal VSS are maintained at the first voltage level L1. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3, and the reference voltage Vx is maintained at the fifth voltage level L5. The tenth control signals S10[1]˜S10[n] are switched to enable levels in sequence. The seventh control signal S7 , the eighth control signal S8 , the ninth control signal S9 , the eleventh control signal S11 and the twelfth control signal S12 have disable levels.

因此,第十三开关SW13会导通,而第十开关SW10、第十一开关SW11、第十二开关SW12、第十四开关SW14以及第十五开关SW15会关断。第一电压信号D1会经由第十三开关SW13传递至第一节点N1,以设置第一节点电压V1。Therefore, the thirteenth switch SW13 is turned on, and the tenth switch SW10 , the eleventh switch SW11 , the twelfth switch SW12 , the fourteenth switch SW14 and the fifteenth switch SW15 are turned off. The first voltage signal D1 is transmitted to the first node N1 through the thirteenth switch SW13 to set the first node voltage V1.

接着,于第二写入阶段,第一驱动信号VDD和第二驱动信号VSS维持于第一电压电平L1。发光控制信号Vpwm维持于第三电压电平L3,参考电压Vx维持于第五电压电平L5。第十一控制信号S11[1]~S11[n]会按序切换至使能电平。第七控制信号S7、第八控制信号S8、第九控制信号S9、第十控制信号S10以及第十二控制信号S12则具有禁能电平。Next, in the second writing phase, the first driving signal VDD and the second driving signal VSS are maintained at the first voltage level L1. The light emission control signal Vpwm is maintained at the third voltage level L3, and the reference voltage Vx is maintained at the fifth voltage level L5. The eleventh control signals S11[1]˜S11[n] are sequentially switched to enable levels. The seventh control signal S7 , the eighth control signal S8 , the ninth control signal S9 , the tenth control signal S10 and the twelfth control signal S12 have disable levels.

因此,第十四开关SW14会导通,而第十开关SW10、第十一开关SW11、第十二开关SW12、第十三开关SW13以及第十五开关SW15会关断。第二电压信号D2会经由第十三开关SW13传递至第三电容C3的第二端,而第三电容C3的第二端的电压变化量则会因为第三电容C3的电容耦合效应传递至第二节点N2,进而使第二节点电压V2具有如以下《公式6》所示的电压值:Therefore, the fourteenth switch SW14 is turned on, and the tenth switch SW10 , the eleventh switch SW11 , the twelfth switch SW12 , the thirteenth switch SW13 and the fifteenth switch SW15 are turned off. The second voltage signal D2 will be transmitted to the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 through the thirteenth switch SW13, and the voltage variation of the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 will be transmitted to the second terminal due to the capacitive coupling effect of the third capacitor C3. Node N2, so that the second node voltage V2 has a voltage value as shown in the following "Formula 6":

V2=L5-|Vth2|+ΔV 《公式6》V2=L5-|Vth2|+ΔV "Formula 6"

其中,ΔV代表第三电容C3的第二端于第二写入阶段中的电压变化量。Wherein, ΔV represents the voltage variation of the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 in the second writing phase.

于发光阶段,第二写入阶段,第一驱动信号VDD维持于第一电压电平L1,第二驱动信号VSS切换至第二电压电平L2,以导通发光单元EU。发光控制信号Vpwm自第三电压电平L3逐渐下降,参考电压Vx则维持于第五电压电平L5。第九控制信号S9具有使能电平。第七控制信号S7、第八控制信号S8、第十控制信号S10、第十一控制信号S11以及第十二控制信号S12则具有禁能电平。In the light-emitting phase and the second writing phase, the first driving signal VDD is maintained at the first voltage level L1, and the second driving signal VSS is switched to the second voltage level L2 to turn on the light-emitting unit EU. The light emitting control signal Vpwm gradually decreases from the third voltage level L3, and the reference voltage Vx is maintained at the fifth voltage level L5. The ninth control signal S9 has an enable level. The seventh control signal S7 , the eighth control signal S8 , the tenth control signal S10 , the eleventh control signal S11 and the twelfth control signal S12 have disable levels.

因此,第十开关SW10、第十一开关SW11、第十二开关SW12、第十三开关SW13、第十四开关SW14以及第十五开关SW15会关断。第二节点电压V2会因为第二电容C2的电容耦合效应,而随着发光控制信号Vpwm逐渐下降。第一晶体管T1会依据第一节点电压V1产生驱动电流Idr,以点亮发光单元EU。Therefore, the tenth switch SW10 , the eleventh switch SW11 , the twelfth switch SW12 , the thirteenth switch SW13 , the fourteenth switch SW14 and the fifteenth switch SW15 are turned off. Due to the capacitive coupling effect of the second capacitor C2, the second node voltage V2 gradually decreases along with the light emission control signal Vpwm. The first transistor T1 generates a driving current Idr according to the first node voltage V1 to light up the light emitting unit EU.

在本实施例中,参考电压Vx的第五电压电平L5会高于或等于第一驱动信号VDD的第一电压电平L1。因此,第一晶体管T1会持续产生驱动电流Idr,直到第二节点电压V2下降至小于前述《公式2》所示的预设电压值。在此情况下,第二晶体管会T2导通,使得第一节点电压V1被设置为第五电压电平L5,进而使得第一晶体管T1切换至关断状态。In this embodiment, the fifth voltage level L5 of the reference voltage Vx is higher than or equal to the first voltage level L1 of the first driving signal VDD. Therefore, the first transistor T1 will continue to generate the driving current Idr until the voltage V2 of the second node drops below the preset voltage value shown in the aforementioned <Formula 2>. In this case, the second transistor T2 is turned on, so that the first node voltage V1 is set to the fifth voltage level L5, and then the first transistor T1 is switched to an off state.

图17为显示面板1400显示多帧画面时的波形示意图。于第1帧画面至第n帧画面每一者的期间,显示面板1400会执行图16的重置阶段、补偿阶段、第一写入阶段、第二写入阶段、以及发光阶段。第1帧画面至第n帧画面的每一者开始之前,多个第十控制信号S10[1]~S10[n]会具有使能电平,以将所有像素电路1410的第一节点电压V1设置为一预设电压电平。FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of waveforms when the display panel 1400 displays multiple frames of images. During each of the first frame to the nth frame, the display panel 1400 will execute the reset phase, the compensation phase, the first write phase, the second write phase, and the light emitting phase in FIG. 16 . Before the start of each of the first frame to the nth frame, a plurality of tenth control signals S10[1]˜S10[n] will have an enable level, so as to reduce the first node voltage V1 of all pixel circuits 1410 to set to a preset voltage level.

接着,第十二控制信号S12[1]~S12[n]的其中一者会切换至使能电平,以导通对应一列像素电路1410的第十五开关SW15。第一晶体管T1产生的驱动电流Idr会经由第十五开关SW15流至比较电路1420,且比较电路1420会将驱动电流Idr和事先存储的预设电流值进行比较。由前述《公式1》可知,驱动电流Idr的大小会负相关于第一节点电压V1,并负相关于第一晶体管T1的临界电压。因此,当比较电路1420发现驱动电流Idr不等于预设电流值时,比较电路1420会判断第一晶体管T1的临界电压发生变异。此时,比较电路1420会输出调整信号AD至源极驱动器102,以于第一写入阶段中将第一数据信号D1的电压电平设置为正相关于驱动电流Idr的大小。如此一来,便可以补偿第一晶体管T1的临界电压变异。Next, one of the twelfth control signals S12[1]˜S12[n] is switched to an enable level to turn on the fifteenth switch SW15 corresponding to a row of pixel circuits 1410 . The driving current Idr generated by the first transistor T1 flows to the comparison circuit 1420 through the fifteenth switch SW15 , and the comparison circuit 1420 compares the driving current Idr with a preset current value stored in advance. It can be known from the aforementioned "Formula 1" that the magnitude of the driving current Idr is negatively correlated with the first node voltage V1 and negatively correlated with the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1. Therefore, when the comparison circuit 1420 finds that the driving current Idr is not equal to the preset current value, the comparison circuit 1420 will determine that the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 has changed. At this time, the comparison circuit 1420 outputs the adjustment signal AD to the source driver 102 to set the voltage level of the first data signal D1 to be positively related to the magnitude of the driving current Idr in the first writing phase. In this way, the variation of the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 can be compensated.

由上述可知,显示面板1400的第一电压信号D1的电压电平,会依据第一晶体管T1的临界电压变异而被适应性地调整。因此,即使显示面板1400中不同区域的第一晶体管T1具有不同的特性,这些第一晶体管T1仍能产生相同大小的驱动电流Idr。From the above, it can be seen that the voltage level of the first voltage signal D1 of the display panel 1400 is adaptively adjusted according to the variation of the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 . Therefore, even though the first transistors T1 in different regions of the display panel 1400 have different characteristics, the first transistors T1 can still generate the same driving current Idr.

另外,像素电路1410的第二节点电压V2会依据第二晶体管T2的临界电压而被适应性地设置。因此,因此,即使显示面板1400中不同区域的第二晶体管T2具有不同的特性,第二晶体管T2仍能于发光阶段中的预期时间点被准时导通。换言之,显示面板1400可以克服制程中的不稳定因素而提供高品质的显示画面。In addition, the second node voltage V2 of the pixel circuit 1410 is adaptively set according to the threshold voltage of the second transistor T2. Therefore, even if the second transistor T2 in different regions of the display panel 1400 has different characteristics, the second transistor T2 can still be turned on at the expected time point in the light emitting phase. In other words, the display panel 1400 can overcome unstable factors in the manufacturing process and provide high-quality display images.

综上所述,显示面板100、700、1100和1400没有使用第一驱动信号VDD来控制第二晶体管T2的开关运行。因此,即使第一驱动信号VDD因为需要提供大电流给多个发光单元EU而产生压降,每个第二晶体管T2仍能于发光阶段中准时开启。如此一来,显示面板100、700、1100和1400便可提供高品质的显示画面。To sum up, the display panels 100, 700, 1100 and 1400 do not use the first driving signal VDD to control the switching operation of the second transistor T2. Therefore, even if the first driving signal VDD produces a voltage drop due to the need to provide a large current to the plurality of light emitting units EU, each second transistor T2 can still be turned on in time during the light emitting phase. In this way, the display panels 100, 700, 1100 and 1400 can provide high-quality display images.

上述多个实施例的像素电路的开关,亦可以用各种合适种类的N型晶体管来实现。在此情况下,各个开关对应的控制信号的使能电平为高电压电平,而禁能电平则为低电压电平。The switches of the pixel circuits in the above-mentioned embodiments can also be realized by various suitable types of N-type transistors. In this case, the enable level of the control signal corresponding to each switch is a high voltage level, and the disable level is a low voltage level.
