Description
本揭露是有關於發光二極體的畫素驅動電路。The present disclosure relates to a pixel driving circuit of a light emitting diode.
目前發光二極體已經廣泛地應用於各類型的顯示器當中。發光二極體發光時的亮度與其驅動電流的大小有關,而其驅動電流的大小係由驅動電晶體來控制。然而,因為製程的變異會造成顯示器中的每個畫素的驅動電晶體的臨界電壓(threshold voltage,Vth)不盡相同,如此一來將會使得不同畫素之中的發光二極體具有不同的驅動電流而使每個發光二極體的亮度不一,進而造成顯示器在顯示畫面的時候會有亮度不均勻的問題。此外,驅動電流示由操作電壓所提供,而操作電壓容易因為傳遞路徑中的線阻產生壓降,使得每個畫素的操作電壓不同,使驅動電流產生誤差。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 the driving current is controlled by the driving transistor. However, the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistor of each pixel in the display is not the same due to the variation of the manufacturing process, which will make the light-emitting diodes in different pixels have different values. The brightness of each light-emitting diode is different due to the driving current of the display device, which causes the problem of uneven brightness when the display displays a picture. In addition, the driving current is provided by the operating voltage, and the operating voltage is prone to voltage drop due to the line resistance in the transmission path, so that the operating voltage of each pixel is different, resulting in an error in the driving current.
因此,如何針對顯示器畫素之驅動電晶體的臨界電壓做補償,並也對操作電壓做補償,是本領域的技術人員所致力研究的目標。Therefore, how to compensate for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor of the display pixel, and how to compensate the operating voltage, is the goal of those skilled in the art.

的變化量,由於控制訊號Vsweep
的電位是逐漸降低,因此節點E的電位也會逐漸的降低,當以下數學式1成立時,開關T5會切換為導通狀態,接著會進入第二子期間230-2。
[數學式1] >0During the first sub-period 230-1, the switches T1-T7, T10, T11, and T12 are in an off state, and the switch T9 is in an on state. At this time, the potentials of the node A, the node C, and the node D are the same as the operation voltage VSS. Potential of the node C changes from
其中VE 表示節點E的電位,為開關T5的臨界電壓。值得注意的是,由於開關T5的臨界電壓匹配於開關T8的臨界電壓,因此在數學式1中兩個臨界電壓、相互抵消,也就是說刪除了開關T5的臨界電壓的影響。此外,當資料電壓VDATA 越大時,數學式1越早成立,也就越早進入第二子期間230-2。where V E represents the potential of node E, is the threshold voltage of switch T5. It is worth noting that, since the threshold voltage of switch T5 is matched with the threshold voltage of switch T8, in Equation 1, the two threshold voltages , They cancel each other out, that is to say, the influence of the threshold voltage of the switch T5 is removed. In addition, when the data voltage V DATA is larger, the earlier the mathematical formula 1 is established, the earlier the second sub-period 230-2 is entered.

。除此之外,由於開關T5為導通狀態,節點D的電位相同於電壓VH
。在此實施例中,操作電壓VDD大於等於電壓VH

[數學式2] 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 , T3 , T6 , T7 , T10 ˜ T12 are turned off, and the switches T1 , T4 , T5 , and T9 are turned on. The potential of node C is the same as the operating voltage VSS, and the potential of node E is the same as V DATA -|V TH_T8 |+ V sweep . In addition to this, since the switch T5 is in the ON state, the potential of the node D is the same as the voltage V H . In this embodiment, the operating voltage VDD is greater than or equal to the voltage V H , but the voltage V H is large enough to turn on the switch T4 . The voltage V H will be applied to the control terminal T4-3 of the switch T4 so that the switch T4 is turned on, and the potentials of the nodes A and B are the same as V ref +V TH_T13 +VSS-V LED , thereby turning on the switch T1 to generate current I LED , the current I LED flows through the light-emitting
透過操作電壓VSS與臨界電壓的補償,電流ILED 已經無關於操作電壓VSS與任何開關的臨界電壓。在習知技術中驅動電流經過了兩個以上的開關,當電流較大時會產生壓降使得開關可能進入線性區,增加操作電壓VDD、VSS之間的跨壓可以解決此問題,但卻提高了功率消耗。相較之下,電流ILED 只會流經一個開關T1,因此具有減少功率消耗的功效。Through the compensation of the operating voltage VSS and the threshold voltage, the current I LED has nothing to do with the operating voltage VSS and the threshold voltage of any switch. In the prior art, the driving current passes through more than two switches. When the current is large, a voltage drop will occur, so that the switches may enter the linear region. Increasing the cross-voltage between the operating voltages VDD and VSS can solve this problem, but it increases the power consumption. In contrast, the current I LED only flows through one switch T1, so it has the effect of reducing power consumption.
