Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of image element circuit of display, particularly, relate to a kind of image element circuit that uses Organic Light Emitting Diode as the display of pixel components.
Background technology
Because multimedia society is progressive rapidly, the technology of semiconductor subassembly and display device also has tremendous progress thereupon.With regard to display, because thin film transistor (TFT)-active organic light-emitting diode (Thin Film Transistor-Active Matrix Organic Light EmittingDiode, hereinafter to be referred as the displaying appliance of TFT-AMOLED) have or not angle limitations, low manufacturing cost, high answer speed (being about more than hundred times of liquid crystal), power saving, the direct drive that can be used in portable machine, operating temperature range is big and in light weight and can be with computer hardware miniaturization and slimming or the like, so meet the characteristic requirement of multimedia era display.Therefore, positive type organic light emitting diode display has great development potentiality, is expected to become next novel flat-panel screens from generation to generation.
TFT-AMOLED display mainly contains two kinds of production methods at present, and a kind of is the technology of utilizing low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT (LTPS TFT), and another kind is a technology of utilizing non-crystalline silicon tft (a-SiTFT), and the comparison of these two kinds of technology can be learnt from table 1.
LTPS a-Si TFT
Mobility 50—200 0.5—1
The kenel of TFT PMOS and NMOS NMOS
The TFT uniformity coefficient Relatively poor Better
The light shield number 9—10 4—5
Cost (only array of pixels) High Low
Cost (panel module) Low (driving circuit is built-in) High (driving circuit externally)
Equipment investment High Low
Benefit Low High
Whole cost Comparatively cheap on the small size panel Comparatively cheap on large size panel
The outputting current steadily degree High Low
The degree of degeneration of OLED Insensitive Responsive
As can be seen from Table 1, because the uniformity coefficient of the TFT-AMOLED display of low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT technology made is not good, and because in the process technique of low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT, needs many light shield processing procedures and cause cost to rise.Therefore, low temperature polycrystalline silicon TFT technology is mainly used on the panel of small-medium size at present, the then non-crystalline silicon tft technology that are to use of large-sized panel more.

In the present invention, the circuit structure of redundant sub-pixels unit 314 and employed component characteristic, identical with display pixel cells 312 substantially, thereby just seldom be described herein at this.
Suppose, when the present invention need detect and the display pixel cells 312 of data line D1 and sweep trace G1 confluce compensated, then at first for example the sequential control circuit shown in Fig. 2 A or the 2B 330 needs driving switch circuit T1, send sweep signal by gate driver circuit 321 then and activate redundant sub-pixels unit 314 on the redundant sweep trace G0, and activate the display pixel cells 312 on the sweep trace G1 simultaneously.Sequential control circuit 330 can produce again and select signal Sel_1 to come the switch module of activation simultaneously 407 and 437 then, to detect the working current that flows through pixel components 405 and 435 simultaneously.
In the present invention, to the key that display pixel cells 312 compensates, be exactly the electric current that pixel components flow through of each display pixel cells 312 inside.With pixel components 405 is example, flows through the electric current of pixel components 405, is exactly the drain current Id1 of transistor 403.Well known, the drain current worker d1 of transistor 403 can calculate with following formula:
Id1=1/2μC ox(W/L)(V gs—V th) 2
Wherein, μ represents carrier transport factor, C OxRepresent the exhaustion region capacitance of transistor 403, W/L represents the ratio of the channel width and the length of transistor 403, V GsAnd V ThBe respectively the gate-source voltage value and the critical voltage value of transistor 403.
Amorphous silicon film transistor 403 is after work a period of time, and the main key that can cause drain current Id1 to descend is to be critical voltage V ThThat is to say, amorphous silicon film transistor 403 work a period of time after, critical voltage V ThCan begin to rise, thereby cause the decline of drain current Id1.Therefore, the present invention can be according to the critical voltage V of transistor 403 ThThe amplitude that rises will be delivered to the voltage level of the data voltage of transistor 401 synchronously and heighten, and just can and then heighten the gate-source voltage Vss of transistor 403, so that the drain current Id1 of transistor 403 is maintained fixed.And how to gate-source voltage V GsAdjust, have a detailed explanation following.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the present invention can compensate the display pixel cells on two sweep traces simultaneously.That is to say, can utilize the redundant sub-pixels unit 314 that is coupled on redundant sweep trace G0 and the Gm simultaneously, the action that the display pixel cells 312 on the sweep trace that comes it is coupled compensates.
