The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of image element circuit, by multiple transistors and a storage capacitance, circuit is carried out
Switch and charge and discharge control.Specifically, the 5th transistor one end as driving transistor is directly connected with first voltage end, and
Introduce reference voltage so that the driving current flowing through luminescent device is only defeated in above-mentioned reference voltage data line in image element circuit
The data voltage entering is relevant.So.Luminescent device can not only avoided to be affected by threshold voltage, can also avoided

Even property.
It should be noted that first, in embodiments of the present invention, the voltage of first voltage end Vdd input can be high electricity
Pressure, the voltage of second voltage end Vss input can be low-voltage or earth terminal.
Second, according to the difference of transistor channel type, transistor can be divided into p channel transistor (referred to as P-type crystal
Pipe) and N-channel transistor (referred to as N-type transistor).Therefore for the transistor in above-mentioned image element circuit, the first transistor
T1, transistor seconds T2, third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4, the 5th transistor T5 and the 6th transistor T6 can be P
Transistor npn npn.
Or,
The first transistor T1, transistor seconds T2, third transistor she, the 4th transistor T4, the 5th transistor T5 and
Six transistor T5 can be N-type transistor.
Additionally, according to the difference of transistor conductivity mode, the transistor in above-mentioned image element circuit can be divided into enhancement mode
Transistor and depletion mode transistor and, for enhancement mode TFT, threshold voltage vt h is on the occasion of and for depletion type TFT, threshold value
Voltage Vth is negative value.
The embodiment of the present invention be with the first transistor T1, transistor seconds T2, third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4,
The explanation that 5th transistor T5 and the 6th transistor T6 is carried out as a example being p-type depletion mode transistor.Wherein, the first transistor
T1, transistor seconds T2, third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4, first pole of the 5th transistor T5 and the 6th transistor T6
It is source class, the second pole is drain.In the case, the voltage signal of above-mentioned reference voltage end Vref input is low-voltage,
And threshold voltage vt h is negative value.
When using different types of transistor, the external control signal of image element circuit is also different.And control letter
Number sequential be also not quite similar.For example when the first transistor T1, transistor seconds T2, third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4,
When 5th transistor T5 and the 6th transistor T6 is N-type transistor.Above-mentioned reference voltage end Vref needs the voltage letter of input
Number be high level.And, the sequential of its each control signal and the corresponding signal sequence shown in Fig. 2 contrary (i.e. the two
Phase contrast is 180 degree).
Below in conjunction with sequential Fig. 2, the work process of image element circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
When image element circuit shown in Fig. 1 works, its work process specifically can be divided into three phases, is specifically as follows：
Reset phase P1, as shown in figure 3, wherein, actual conductive track and device are using real for the equivalent circuit diagram in this stage
Line represents, the part being not powered on is adopted and is represented by dashed line, and following equivalent circuit diagram is with to the figure shows mode identical.In reset phase
P1, reset signal end Reset input low level, transistor seconds T2 is turned on, the grid voltage Vg setting of the 5th transistor T5
The voltage inputting for reference voltage end Vref, and this voltage is stored in storage capacitance Cst.Because reference voltage Vref is low
The grid voltage Vg of the 5th transistor T5 as driving transistor therefore can be resetted by level.In the case,
Five transistor T5 are in cut-off state.
Because the voltage signal of grid line Gate input and the voltage signal of LED control signal input Em input are height
Level.Therefore third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4, the first transistor T1 and the 6th transistor T6 are in ending shape
State.
In this stage, the grid voltage Vg due to the 5th transistor T5 is reset, so that the node b of image element circuit
The previous frame voltage signal of upper residual is released, it is to avoid the residual voltage signal of previous frame is to next frame voltage signal not
Good impact is it is ensured that the stability of node b current potential.
Write phase P2, the equivalent circuit diagram in this stage as shown in figure 4, in this stage, grid line Gate input low level,
By third transistor T3 and the 4th transistor T4 conducting, the data voltage Vdata of data wire input is passed by third transistor T3
Transport to node a, and be stored in storage capacitance Cst.In the case of the 4th transistor T4 conducting, the drain electrode of the 5th transistor T5
(node d) and gate turn-on are so as to be in diode-connected state.The voltage of first voltage end Vdd input is through the 5th crystal
After pipe T5, the level of fiveth transistor T5 itself a threshold voltage vt h lower than the voltage that first voltage end Vdd inputs is write
Enter the grid of the 5th transistor T5, now, as driving transistor the 5th transistor T5 grid voltage Vg be Vdd- (-
Vth).Wherein, because the 5th transistor T5 is p-type depletion mode transistor, therefore above-mentioned threshold voltage vt h is negative value.
Due to the voltage signal of reset signal end Reset input and the voltage letter of LED control signal input Em input
Number be high level.Therefore, transistor seconds T2, the first transistor T1 and the 6th transistor T6 are in cut-off state.
Glow phase P3, as shown in figure 5, in this stage, LED control signal Em inputs the equivalent circuit diagram in this stage
End input low level, by the first transistor T1 and the 6th transistor T6 conducting, the voltage of reference voltage end Vref input passes through section
Point a is stored in storage capacitance Cst, because the boot strap of this storage capacitance Cst is so that node b produces a voltage increment, greatly
Little for Vref-Vdata.In the case, the size of the grid voltage Vg of the 5th transistor T5 increased Vref-Vdata again, tool
Body：
Vg (T5)=Vref-Vdata+Vdd- (- Vth)；
Therefore, gate source voltage Vgs (the i.e. pressure between the voltage of gate node b and source node c of the 5th transistor T5
Difference) be：
Vgs (T5)=Vg-Vs=Vref-Vdata+Vdd- (- Vth)-Vdd=Vref-Vdata+Vth；
In the case, driving current I flowing through the 5th transistor T5 is：
I=K/2 (Vgs-Vth)2=K/2 (Vref-Vdata)2.
This driving current I driven for emitting lights device D is lighted.
As can be seen here, on the one hand, flow through driving current I of the 5th transistor T5 and the threshold voltage of the 5th transistor T5
Vth is unrelated, and therefore, above-mentioned image element circuit, it can be avoided that luminescent device D is affected by threshold voltage.
On the other hand, above-mentioned driving current I is also unrelated with the voltage of first voltage end Vdd input.If in above-mentioned compensation
During, the signal that driving current I of OLED is inputted with first voltage end Vdd is relevant.So sending out in OLED
In photoreduction process, have electric current always and flow through first voltage end Vdd, thus causing ohmic voltage drop (IR Drop) so that adjacent picture
Element has a part of signal of first voltage end Vdd input, therefore leads to driving current I flowing through OLED to decline and occur
GTG distortion.So, above-mentioned image element circuit can avoid due to first voltage end Vdd produce ohmic voltage drop luminous to flowing through
The impact that device D produces.
Another aspect, the source electrode of the 5th transistor T5 is directly connected with first voltage end Vdd.If the 5th transistor T5
Extra transistor (not shown) is set and the Vdd of first voltage end between, then flow through the electric current of this extra transistor
Produce voltage drop Vds ' at its source and drain end, so, the gate source voltage Vgs of the 5th transistor T5 should be Vdata+Vth-
Vdd-Vds’.The size of Vds ' is determined by the electric current (i.e. driving current I of OLED) flowing through above-mentioned extra transistor, so
And driving current I of OLED is also controlled by data voltage Vdata, so gate source voltage of the 5th transistor T5
Vgs will appear from nonlinear change, leads to pixel to show and GTG distortion.Thus the quality to display device and display effect
Have adverse effect on.Therefore, above-mentioned image element circuit can eliminate between the 5th transistor T5 and first voltage end Vdd
Transistor leads to the 5th transistor T5 as driving transistor, its gate source voltage Vgs nonlinear change, and sends out to flowing through
Driving current I of optical device D produces impact.
To sum up residing, using image element circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, display device display brightness can be improved
Uniformity.
Additionally, in this stage, the voltage signal of the voltage signal of grid line Gate input and reset signal end Reset input
For high level.Therefore, third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4 are in cut-off state with transistor seconds T2.

Body pipe and the 6th transistor, are lighted by the electric current driven for emitting lights device of the 5th transistor and the 6th transistor.So, flow
The driving current crossing luminescent device is only relevant in the data voltage of above-mentioned reference voltage data line input, thus can not only keep away
Exempting from luminescent device is affected by threshold voltage, and the ohmic voltage drop that can also avoid first voltage end is to the drive flowing through luminescent device
Streaming current produces impact.Additionally, the voltage of first voltage end input directly inputs value the 5th transistor, thus it is brilliant to avoid the 5th
When nonlinear change in the gate source voltage of body pipe, and impact is produced on the driving current flowing through luminescent device.In sum, originally
The control method of the image element circuit that inventive embodiments provide can improve the uniformity of display device display brightness.

Specifically, in reset phase P1, reset signal end Reset input low level, transistor seconds T2 is turned on, the 5th
The grid voltage Vg of transistor T5 is set to the voltage of reference voltage end Vref input, and this voltage is stored in storage capacitance
In Cst.Because reference voltage Vref is low level, therefore can be using the grid electricity of the 5th transistor T5 as driving transistor
Pressure Vg is resetted.In the case, the 5th transistor T5 is in cut-off state.
Because the voltage signal of grid line Gate input and the voltage signal of LED control signal input Em input are height
Level.Therefore third transistor T3, the 4th transistor T4, the first transistor T1 and the 6th transistor T6 are in ending shape
State.
In this stage, the grid voltage Vg due to the 5th transistor T5 is reset, so that the node b of image element circuit

's：
Vg (T5)=Vref-Vdata+Vdd- (- Vth)；
Therefore, gate source voltage Vgs (the i.e. pressure between the voltage of gate node b and source node c of the 5th transistor T5
Difference) be：
Vgs (T5)=Vg-Vs=Vref-Vdata+Vdd- (- Vth)-Vdd=Vref-Vdata+Vth；
In the case, driving current I flowing through the 5th transistor T5 is：
I=K/2 (Vgs-Vth)2=K/2 (Vref-Vdata)2.
This driving current I driven for emitting lights device D is lighted.
As can be seen here, on the one hand, flow through driving current I of the 5th transistor T5 and the threshold voltage vt h of the 5th transistor
Unrelated, therefore, above-mentioned image element circuit, it can be avoided that luminescent device D is affected by threshold voltage.
On the other hand, above-mentioned driving current I is also unrelated with the voltage of first voltage end Vdd input.If in above-mentioned compensation
During, the signal that driving current I of OLED is inputted with first voltage end Vdd is relevant.So sending out in OLED
In photoreduction process, have electric current always and flow through first voltage end Vdd, thus causing ohmic voltage drop (IR Drop) so that adjacent picture
Element has a part of signal of first voltage end Vdd input, therefore leads to driving current I flowing through OLED to decline and occur
GTG distortion.So, above-mentioned image element circuit can avoid due to first voltage end Vdd produce ohmic voltage drop luminous to flowing through
The impact that device D produces.
Another aspect, the source electrode of the 5th transistor T5 is directly connected with first voltage end Vdd.If the 5th transistor T5
Extra transistor (not shown) is set and the Vdd of first voltage end between, then flow through the electric current of this extra transistor
Produce voltage drop Vds ' at its source and drain end, so, the gate source voltage Vgs of the 5th transistor T5 should be Vdata+Vth-
Vdd-Vds’.The size of Vds ' is determined by the electric current (i.e. driving current I of OLED) flowing through above-mentioned extra transistor, so
And driving current I of OLED is also controlled by data voltage Vdata, so gate source voltage of the 5th transistor T5
Vgs will appear from nonlinear change, leads to pixel to show and GTG distortion.Thus the quality to display device and display effect
Have adverse effect on.Therefore image element circuit can eliminate and be located at the 5th transistor T5 and first voltage end in prior art
Transistor between Vdd leads to the 5th transistor T5 as driving transistor, its gate source voltage Vgs nonlinear change,
And impact is produced on driving current I flowing through luminescent device D.
