本發明係關於一種畫素補償電路,特別有關於一種有機發光二極體之畫素補償電路。 The present invention relates to a pixel compensation circuit, and more particularly to a pixel compensation circuit for an organic light emitting diode.

有機發光二極體顯示面板(Organic Light-Emitting Display;OLED)是目前正在開發使用的一種顯示面板,其具有輕薄、省電以及色度飽和等優點。 An Organic Light-Emitting Display (OLED) is a display panel currently under development, which has the advantages of lightness, power saving, and saturation of chromaticity.

然而,由於流經有機發光二極體的電流值受到驅動電晶體的影響導致電流值與驅動電晶體的臨界電壓(threshold voltage)有關,也會降低其顯示品質。 However, since the current value flowing through the organic light-emitting diode is affected by the driving transistor, the current value is related to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, and the display quality thereof is also lowered.

When the resolution of the panel becomes higher, the pixel compensation time will be less. However, the existing organic light-emitting diode compensation circuit It is necessary to compensate in the line time of one column, and the compensation time flowing through the current value of the organic light emitting diode is insufficient, so that the panel cannot correctly display the gray scale and reduce the display quality.

為說明畫素補償電路100的操作方式,請同時參考第2圖及第6圖。區間T0為上一次的補償週期,開關120、開關130及開關140處於截止狀態,開關150被導通,因此節點B之電壓為第一電壓OVDD,而節點A之電壓小於第一電壓OVDD,以使開關110導通。於區間T1,開關140及開關150處於截止狀態;開關120及開關130被掃描訊號S1致能,處於導通狀態,因此節點A的電壓改變為參考訊號Vref2,而節點B具有沿開關110往開關130的放電路徑,使得節點B的電壓被放電至Vref2+|Vth|為止,其中開關110可為畫素補償電路100之驅動電晶體,而Vth為開關110之臨界電壓。 In order to explain the operation mode of the pixel compensation circuit 100, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 at the same time. The interval T0 is the last compensation period, the switch 120, the switch 130 and the switch 140 are in the off state, and the switch 150 is turned on, so the voltage of the node B is the first voltage OVDD, and the voltage of the node A is smaller than the first voltage OVDD, so that The switch 110 is turned on. In the interval T1, the switch 140 and the switch 150 are in an off state; the switch 120 and the switch 130 are enabled by the scanning signal S1, and are in an on state, so the voltage of the node A changes to the reference signal Vref2, and the node B has the switch 130 along the switch 110. The discharge path is such that the voltage of the node B is discharged to Vref2+|Vth|, wherein the switch 110 can be the driving transistor of the pixel compensation circuit 100, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the switch 110.

於區間T2,開關140被導通,此時寫入資料訊號VData,使得節點A之電壓變為VData,開關120、開關130、及開關150處於截止狀態,此時節點 B的電壓值被耦合為(Vref2+|Vth|)+[C1/(C1+C2)]×(VData-Vref2)。於區間T3,開關120、開關130、及開關140處於截止狀態,開關150處於導通狀態,因此節點B的電壓值為第一電壓OVDD,而節點A之電壓被耦合為VData+OVDD-{Vref2+|Vth|+[C1/(C1+C2)]×(VData-Vref2)},則根據電流公式IOLED=k(Vgs-|Vth|)^2,k為一常數,Vgs為開關110之控制端與第一端之電壓差,可得到流經發光單元160之電流IOLED與開關110之臨界電壓、第一電壓源、第二電壓源均無關,因此畫素補償電路100不會受到電晶體之臨界電壓Vth影響,亦不會受到電壓源走線阻抗導致壓降效應(I-R drop),具有固定的發光品質。 In the interval T2, the switch 140 is turned on. At this time, the data signal VData is written, so that the voltage of the node A becomes VData, and the switch 120, the switch 130, and the switch 150 are in an off state. The voltage value of B is coupled to (Vref2+|Vth|)+[C1/(C1+C2)]×(VData-Vref2). In the interval T3, the switch 120, the switch 130, and the switch 140 are in an off state, and the switch 150 is in an on state, so the voltage of the node B is the first voltage OVDD, and the voltage of the node A is coupled to VData+OVDD-{Vref2+| Vth|+[C1/(C1+C2)]×(VData-Vref2)}, according to the current formula IOLED=k(Vgs−|Vth|)^2, k is a constant, and Vgs is the control end of the switch 110 and The voltage difference between the first end can be obtained, and the current IOLED flowing through the light-emitting unit 160 is independent of the threshold voltage of the switch 110, the first voltage source and the second voltage source, so the pixel compensation circuit 100 is not subjected to the threshold voltage of the transistor. The Vth effect is also not affected by the voltage drop impedance of the voltage source, and has a fixed illumination quality.

The pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 3 is substantially similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 2 . It is worth mentioning that the second end of the switch 130 can be coupled to the control end of the switch 130 for receiving the scan signal S1. . This design reduces traces, reduces layout complexity, and increases pixel aperture. In addition, the light-emitting unit 160 includes a switch 164 coupled between the switch 110 and the organic light-emitting diode 162 in addition to the organic light-emitting diode 162, and is turned on according to the scanning signal S4. Compared to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 2, In the interval T1 to the interval T2, since the switch 164 is in the off state, the current does not pass through the light emitting unit 160, and dark state light emission can be avoided. The rest of the actuation method is similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 2, and therefore will not be described again.

請參考第4圖,第4圖為本發明之另一實施例之畫素補償電路圖。第4圖之畫素補償電路100大體上與第3圖之畫素補償電路100相似,值得一提的是電容C2之一端電連接於開關110之第一端,電容C2之另一端耦接至參考訊號Vref,且參考訊號Vref係為小於或等於第一電壓OVDD且具有固定位準之正電壓,以此方法提供穩定之電壓於電容C2,避免節點B位準浮動。其餘作動方法與第3圖之畫素補償電路100相似,故不另贅述。 Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a diagram of a pixel compensation circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention. The pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 4 is substantially similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 3. It is worth mentioning that one end of the capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first end of the switch 110, and the other end of the capacitor C2 is coupled to The reference signal Vref, and the reference signal Vref is a positive voltage that is less than or equal to the first voltage OVDD and has a fixed level. In this way, a stable voltage is supplied to the capacitor C2 to avoid the node B level floating. The rest of the actuation method is similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 3, and therefore will not be described again.

請參考第5圖,第5圖為本發明之另一實施例之畫素補償電路圖。第5圖之畫素補償電路100大體上與第4圖之畫素補償電路100相似,值得一提的是電容C2之一端電連接於開關110之第一端,電容C2之另一端耦接至掃描訊號S3,使得節點B於區間T1至區間T2均不會浮接。相較於第4圖之畫素補償電路100減少額外走線設置,提高開口率,增進發光效益。其餘作動方法與第4圖之畫素補償電路100相似,故不另贅述。 Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a diagram of a pixel compensation circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention. The pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 5 is substantially similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 4. It is worth mentioning that one end of the capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first end of the switch 110, and the other end of the capacitor C2 is coupled to The signal S3 is scanned so that the node B does not float in the interval T1 to the interval T2. Compared with the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 4, the additional trace setting is reduced, the aperture ratio is increased, and the luminous efficiency is improved. The rest of the actuation method is similar to the pixel compensation circuit 100 of FIG. 4, and therefore will not be described again.

雖然在上述實施例中係以開關110、開關120、開關130、開關140、開關150、開關164皆以P型電晶體舉例,但本發明並不以此為限。舉例來說, 在本發明另一實施例中,開關110、開關120、開關130、開關140、開關150、開關164可為N型電晶體(如N型薄膜電晶體或N型金屬氧化半導體電晶體)。 Although the switch 110, the switch 120, the switch 130, the switch 140, the switch 150, and the switch 164 are all exemplified by a P-type transistor in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto. for example, In another embodiment of the present invention, the switch 110, the switch 120, the switch 130, the switch 140, the switch 150, and the switch 164 may be N-type transistors (such as an N-type thin film transistor or an N-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor).

綜上所述,本發明實施例之畫素補償電路可使流經有機發光二極體之電流與驅動電晶體的臨界電壓以及電壓源不相關,故可提高顯示畫面的準確度。再者,透過本發明的設計,降低訊號走線數,使得畫素補償電路的開口率提升,增進發光效益。 In summary, the pixel compensation circuit of the embodiment of the present invention can make the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode irrelevant to the threshold voltage and the voltage source of the driving transistor, thereby improving the accuracy of the display screen. Furthermore, through the design of the present invention, the number of signal traces is reduced, so that the aperture ratio of the pixel compensation circuit is increased, and the luminous efficiency is improved.

以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。 The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
