技术领域technical field
本公开涉及发光二极管的像素驱动电路。The present disclosure relates to pixel driving circuits of light emitting diodes.
背景技术Background technique
目前发光二极管已经广泛地应用于各类型的显示器当中。发光二极管发光时的亮度与其驱动电流的大小有关,而其驱动电流的大小是由驱动晶体管来控制。然而,因为工艺的变异会造成显示器中的每个像素的驱动晶体管的临界电压(threshold voltage,Vth)不尽相同,如此一来将会使得不同像素中的发光二极管具有不同的驱动电流而使每个发光二极管的亮度不一,进而造成显示器在显示画面的时候会有亮度不均匀的问题。此外,驱动电流示由操作电压所提供,而操作电压容易因为传递路径中的线阻产生压降,使得每个像素的操作电压不同,使驱动电流产生误差。At present, light-emitting diodes have been widely used in various types of displays. The brightness of the light-emitting diode when it emits light is related to the size of its driving current, and the size of its driving current is controlled by the driving transistor. However, due to process variation, the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistors of each pixel in the display is not the same, so that the LEDs in different pixels have different driving currents, so that each pixel has a different driving current. The brightness of each light-emitting diode is different, which in turn causes the problem of uneven brightness when the display displays a picture. In addition, the driving current is shown to be provided by the operating voltage, and the operating voltage is likely to have a voltage drop due to the line resistance in the transmission path, so that the operating voltage of each pixel is different, which causes an error in the driving current.
因此,如何针对显示器像素的驱动晶体管的临界电压做补偿,并也对操作电压做补偿,是本领域的技术人员所致力研究的目标。Therefore, how to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor of the display pixel and also compensate the operating voltage is the goal of those skilled in the art.

在此实施例中,操作电压VDD大于操作电压VSS,电压VL小于电压VH,参考电压Vref大于电压VL。此外,电压VL大于低电平VGL,而高电平VGH大于电压VH。In this embodiment, the operating voltage VDD is greater than the operating voltage VSS, the voltage VL is less than the voltage VH , and the reference voltage Vref is greater than the voltage VL . Furthermore, the voltage VL is greater than the low level VGL , and the high level VGH is greater than the voltage VH .
图3是根据一实施例示出在第一期间内像素驱动电路的开关示意图。请参照图2与图3,第一期间210是用以重置像素驱动电路100。在第一期间210内,控制信号S1、控制信号S2及控制信号S3为低电平VGL,控制信号Vsweep为低电平Vsweep_L,其中低电平VGL可相同或不同于低电平Vsweep_L,本公开并不在此限。因此,在第一期间210,开关T1、T3、T6、T10处于截止状态,而开关T2、T4、T5、T7、T8、T9处于导通状态。具体来说,节点A的电位相同于参考电压Vref,但参考电压Vref小于开关T1的临界电压。电压VL大于开关T4的临界电压,因此开关T4处于导通状态,节点B的电位相同于低电平VGL。节点C的电位相同于电压VH。参考电压Vref大于开关T8的临界电压,因此开关T8处于导通状态,节点D的电位相同于低电平VGL。节点E的电位相同于数据电压VDATA。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating switching of a pixel driving circuit in a first period according to an embodiment. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the
图4是根据一实施例示出在第二期间内像素驱动电路的开关示意图。请参照图2与图4,第二期间220是用以做电压补偿。在第二期间220内,控制信号S1为高电平VGH,控制信号S2及控制信号S3为低电平VGL,控制信号Vsweep为低电平Vsweep_L。因此在第二期间220内,开关T1、T3、T6、T10处于截止状态,开关T2、T4、T5、T7、T8、T9处于导通状态。具体来说,节点A的电位相同于参考电压Vref。节点B的电位会因为对第一电容C1充电而不断上升,一直到节点B的电位相同于VL-VTH_T4时开关T4会切换为截止状态,其中VTH_T4为开关T4的临界电压。节点C的电位相同于电压VH。类似地,节点D的电位会不断上升,一直到节点D的电位相同于Vref-VTH_T8时开关T8会切换为截止状态,其中VTH_T8为开关T8的临界电压。节点E的电位相同于数据电压VDATA。FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating switching of a pixel driving circuit in a second period according to an embodiment. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the
图5是根据一实施例示出在第三期间内第一子期间的像素驱动电路的开关示意图。请参照图2与图5,第三期间230分为第一子期间230-1及第二子期间230-2,在第一子期间230-1内发光单元110为截止,而在第二子期间230-2内发光单元110为导通并发光。第一子期间230-1及第二子期间230-2的长度是由数据电压VDATA所决定。换言之,在此实施例中是以脉宽调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)的方式来驱动发光单元110,借此决定像素的亮度。具体来说,在第三期间230内,控制信号S1、控制信号S2及控制信号S3为高电平VGH,控制信号Vsweep由低电平Vsweep_L逐渐地增加至高电平Vsweep_H,其中高电平Vsweep_H可相同于或不同于高电平VGH,本公开并不在此限。FIG. 5 is a schematic switch diagram illustrating a pixel driving circuit in a first sub-period in a third period according to an embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5 , the
在第一子期间230-1内,开关T1、T3、T5、T6、T7、T9处于截止状态,开关T2、T4、T8、T10处于导通状态。节点A的电位相同于参考电压Vref。节点B的电位相同于VL-VTH_T4。节点C的电位保持不变,维持在电压VH。特别的是,节点E的电位从第二期间220的数据电压VDATA改变为第三期间230的电压VL,其变化量表示为VL-VDATA,因此节点D的电位会由第二期间220的Vref-VTH_T8改变为Vref-VTH_T8+VL-VDATA。此时控制信号Vsweep的电位小于节点D的电位,因此开关T6处于截止状态。In the first sub-period 230-1, the switches T1, T3, T5, T6, T7, and T9 are in an off state, and the switches T2, T4, T8, and T10 are in an on state. The potential of the node A is the same as the reference voltage V ref . The potential of node B is the same as V L -V TH_T4 . The potential of node C remains unchanged at voltage V H . In particular, the potential of the node E changes from the data voltage V DATA in the
由于控制信号Vsweep的电位不断上升,当以下数学式1成立时开关T6切换为导通状态,接着会进入第二子期间230-2。Since the potential of the control signal V sweep continues to rise, the switch T6 is switched to the on state when the
[数学式1][Mathematical formula 1]
其中VD为节点D的电位,VTH_T6为开关T6的临界电压。由于开关T6的临界电压匹配于开关T8的临界电压,因此在数学式1中两个临界电压VTH_T6、VTH_T8相互抵消,也就是说删除了开关T6的临界电压的影响。当数据电压VDATA越大时,数学式1越早成立,也就越早进入第二子期间230-2。Wherein V D is the potential of node D, and V TH_T6 is the threshold voltage of switch T6. Since the threshold voltage of the switch T6 matches the threshold voltage of the switch T8, the two threshold voltages V TH_T6 and V TH_T8 cancel each other in
图6是根据一实施例示出在第三期间内第二子期间的像素驱动电路的开关示意图。请参照图2与图6,在第二子期间230-2内,开关T2、T4、T5、T7、T9处于截止状态,开关T1、T3、T6、T8、T10处于导通状态。具体来说,由于开关T6处于导通状态,节点D及节点C的电位都相同于Vref-VTH_T8+VL-VDATA,此电位会截止开关T2并导通开关T3。节点B的电位从第一子期间230-1的VL-VTH_T4改变为操作电压VSS,改变量为VSS-VL+VTH_T4,因此节点A的电位会从第一子期间230-1的参考电压Vref改变为Vref+VSS-VL+VTH_T4,此电位会导通开关T1产生电流ILED,此电流ILED流经发光单元110与开关T1,电流ILED的大小如以下数学式2所示。FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the switching of the pixel driving circuit in the second sub-period in the third period according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 , in the second sub-period 230 - 2 , the switches T2 , T4 , T5 , T7 , and T9 are turned off, and the switches T1 , T3 , T6 , T8 , and T10 are turned on. Specifically, since the switch T6 is in an on state, the potentials of the nodes D and C are the same as V ref -V TH_T8 +V L -V DATA , which will turn off the switch T2 and turn on the switch T3 . The potential of node B is changed from V L -V TH_T4 in the first sub-period 230-1 to the operating voltage VSS by the amount of VSS-V L +V TH_T4 , so the potential of node A will change from the first sub-period 230-1 to the operating voltage VSS. The reference voltage V ref is changed to V ref +VSS-V L +V TH_T4 , this potential will turn on the switch T1 to generate a current I LED , the current I LED flows through the light-emitting
[数学式2][Mathematical formula 2]
其中K为常数,VA为节点A的电位,VTH_T1为开关T1的临界电压。值得注意的是,由于开关T1的临界电压匹配至开关T4的临界电压,因此电流ILED的大小已经不受临界电压VTH_T1的影响。此外,由于在数学式2补偿了操作电压VSS,因此电流ILED的大小也不受操作电压VSS的影响。在现有技术中驱动电流经过了两个以上的开关,当电流较大时会产生压降使得开关可能进入线性区,增加操作电压VDD、VSS之间的跨压可以解决此问题,但却提高了功率消耗。相较之下,电流ILED只会流经一个开关T1,因此具有减少功率消耗的技术效果。Where K is a constant, VA is the potential of node A , and V TH_T1 is the threshold voltage of switch T1. It is worth noting that, since the threshold voltage of the switch T1 matches the threshold voltage of the switch T4, the magnitude of the current I LED is not affected by the threshold voltage V TH_T1 . In addition, since the operation voltage VSS is compensated in
图7是根据一实施例示出在第四期间内像素驱动电路的开关示意图。请参照图2与图7,第四期间240是用以关闭发光单元110。在第四期间240内,控制信号S1及控制信号S3为高电平VGH,控制信号S2为低电平VGL,控制信号Vsweep为低电平Vsweep_L。因此,开关T1、T3、T4、T6、T7、T9、T10处于截止状态,开关T2、T5、T8处于导通状态。节点A的电位为参考电压Vref,借此截止开关T1。节点C的电位为电压VH。FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating switching of a pixel driving circuit in a fourth period according to an embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7 , the
