Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of display control circuits, in particular to a pixel compensation circuit for compensating voltage drop of voltage of a voltage source generated in a display panel due to resistance of a wire and a display device.
Background
Recently, various flat panel displays having a smaller weight and volume than a cathode ray tube display have been developed including liquid crystal displays, field emission displays, plasma display panels, and organic light emitting displays.
Among the flat panel displays, the organic light emitting display displays an image using an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) that generates light by recombination of electrons and holes. The organic light emitting display has a fast response speed and is driven with low power consumption. A typical organic light emitting display supplies a current according to a data signal to an OLED through a transistor formed in a pixel, so that the OLED emits light.
The organic light emitting display is classified into a passive driving type (PMOLED) which does not use a thin film transistor substrate and an active driving type (AMOLED) which uses a thin film transistor substrate, according to driving types.
Each pixel of the active-driving organic light-emitting display is provided with a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor with a switching function, each pixel is provided with a charge storage capacitor, and a peripheral driving circuit and a display component are integrated on the same glass substrate. Each pixel generates a driving current according to a data signal, and the brightness of the organic light emitting diode is controlled by adjusting the driving current of the organic light emitting diode.
In the driving circuit of the conventional AMOLED display module, since the AMOLED is driven by a current, a voltage supplied to the voltage source may generate a voltage drop in the display panel due to a resistance of the trace, thereby causing the display panel of the AMOLED to have different voltages at the top, the bottom, and the top. Since the luminance of the organic light emitting diode is proportional to the amount of the driving current, the voltage of the display panel of the AMOLED is not uniform, which may cause the luminance of the display panel to be non-uniform. With the aging of the wiring in the display panel along with the time, the resistance of the wiring part can be further increased, and the condition of uneven voltage in the display panel can be more obvious, so that the uneven brightness of the display panel is further deepened, the service life of the AMOLED display panel is also shortened, and the watching experience of a user is influenced.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the conducting state of the pixel compensation circuit at stage C in fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the conducting state of the pixel compensation circuit at the stage D in fig. 3. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of the conducting state of the pixel compensation circuit at stage E in fig. 3. In conjunction with fig. 4 to 8, the on states of the pixel compensation circuit in fig. 1 are respectively described through A, B, C, D, E stages of the waveform diagram in fig. 3. The cross numbers in fig. 4 to 8 indicate that the corresponding transistor is not currently conducting. (the working of each transistor in different time states is only specifically described below by using the pixel compensation circuit with 8 transistors and 1 capacitor as shown in fig. 1, but not limited thereto, for example, the working of the transistor in the pixel compensation circuit with 10 transistors in fig. 2 is the same, and is not described here again)
As shown in fig. 4, that is, when the waveform diagram of fig. 2 is in the state a, the enable signal En is at a high level, the first scan signal Sn-1 is at a low level, and the second scan signal Sn is at a high level. The transistors crossed in the figure are not conductive at present, i.e., the first transistor M1, the third transistor M3, the fifth transistor M5, the sixth transistor M6, the ninth transistor M9 and the tenth transistor M10 are not conductive.
At this time, the voltage of the initialization voltage Vin is written in the fourth node N4.
As shown in fig. 5, that is, when the waveform diagram of fig. 2 is in the state B, the enable signal En is at a high level, the first scan signal Sn-1 is at a high level, and the second scan signal Sn is at a high level. The transistors that are cross-hatched in the figure are not conductive at present, i.e. seven transistors are not conductive except for the second transistor M2.
At this time, the fourth node N4 maintains the voltage of the initialization voltage Vin.
As shown in fig. 6, that is, when the waveform diagram of fig. 2 is in the C state, the enable signal En is at a high level, the first scan signal Sn-1 is at a high level, and the second scan signal Sn is at a low level. The transistors crossed in the figure are not conducting at present, i.e. the fifth transistor M5, the sixth transistor M6, the seventh transistor M7, the tenth transistor M10 are not conducting.
At this time, the data signal voltage is written to the fourth node N4 through the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 until the second transistor M2 enters a cut-off region and the fifth node N5 maintains the reference voltage ref. At this time, the voltages of the fourth node N4 and the fifth node N5 satisfy the following formula:
Vn4=Vdata+Vth
Vn5=Vref
where Vn4 is the voltage of the fourth node N4, Vn5 is the voltage of the fifth node N5, Vdata is the voltage of the data signal dl5, Vth is the threshold voltage of the second transistor M2, and Vref is the reference voltage ref.
As shown in fig. 7, that is, when the waveform diagram of fig. 2 is in the D state, the enable signal En is at a high level, the first scan signal Sn-1 is at a high level, and the second scan signal Sn is at a high level. The transistors crossed in the drawing are not conductive at present, i.e., all eight transistors from the first transistor M1 to the tenth transistor M10 are not conductive.
At this time, the fourth node N4 remains Vdata + Vth, and the fifth node N5 remains Vref.
As shown in fig. 8, that is, when the waveform diagram of fig. 2 is in the E state, the enable signal En is at a low level, the first scan signal Sn-1 is at a high level, and the second scan signal Sn is at a high level. The transistors cross in the figure are not conducting at present, i.e. the first transistor M1, the third transistor M3, the seventh transistor M7, the ninth transistor M9 are not conducting.
At this time, the positive ELVDD voltage is written to the fifth node N5, and the voltage at the fourth node N4 also changes due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C. The voltages of the fourth node N4 and the fifth node N5 satisfy the following equations:
Vn5=Velvdd=Vs
Vn4=Vdata+Vth+Velvdd-Vref=Vg
wherein Vs is the source voltage of the second transistor M2, Vg is the gate voltage of the second transistor M2, and Velvdd is the voltage of the positive electrode of the voltage source. The current Id from the second transistor M2 to the fifth transistor M5, i.e., the current value flowing through the light emitting diode XD satisfies the following formula:
Id=μCW/L(Vsg+Vth)^2
=μCW/L(Vref-Vdata)^2
where C is the amount of capacitance of the capacitor in the DC circuit, W is the electrical work, and M is the electrical permeability. As can be seen from the above current formula, this current value is independent of the ELVDD voltage source.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the current variation at different voltages without using the pixel compensation circuit of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the current variation at different voltages after the pixel compensation circuit of the present invention is used. Fig. 9 and 10 show the change of current when the pixel compensation circuit of the present invention is not used and when the compensation circuit of the present invention is used, respectively.
As shown in fig. 9, when the voltage of the voltage source positive electrode ELVDD is 5.1V and 4.6V, respectively, and the current Id changes, it can be seen that the current change value reaches 70nA when the voltage of ELVDD changes by 0.5V. As shown in fig. 10, in order to change the current Id when the voltage of the voltage source positive electrode ELVDD is 5.1V and 4.6V, respectively, after the pixel compensation circuit of the present invention is used, it can be seen that the current change value is only 3nA when the voltage of ELVDD changes by 0.5V.
As can be seen from fig. 9 and 10, the pixel compensation circuit of the present invention reduces the current variation value from 70nA to 3nA, which greatly improves the current variation.
In a comparative example of voltage variation of one voltage source positive electrode ELVDD, the following table shows:
as can be seen from the above table, when the ELVDD varies by 0.5V, Vgs (the voltage between the gate and the source of the second transistor M2) driving the second transistor M2 varies by only 0.003V, and the current decision and Vgs are well compensated by the ELVDD voltage.
