Describe the driving method of the image element circuit of active matrix organic LED display 100 in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, wherein Fig. 3 shows the sequential chart of the driving method of the pixel P that is relevant to the embodiment of the invention, can learn that from Fig. 3 the process that drives pixel P comprises phase one S1, subordinate phase S2 and phase III S3.
Particularly, in the phase one S1 of the driving method of pixel P, the sweep signal SCAN that scan drive circuit 104 provides is the accurate L in low-voltage position, makes switching transistor M2 and M3 conducting and switching transistor M4 and M5 be in cut-off state.Thus, it is OVDD that the switching transistor M2 that supply voltage OVDD just sees through conducting makes the voltage level of the A end of storage capacitors Cst, and the A end of storage capacitors Cst communicates with the grid G 1 of driving transistors M1 because of switching transistor M3 conducting.
Then in subordinate phase S2, the voltage level of the sweep signal SCAN that scan drive circuit 104 provides changes the high voltage level H that switching transistor M2 and M3 are ended into, this moment switching transistor M4 and M5 conducting.So, the A end of storage capacitors Cst just sees through source-drain electrodes S1-D1 and 110 pairs of supply voltage OVSS discharges of Organic Light Emitting Diode of driving transistors M1, till the conducting electric current of Organic Light Emitting Diode was almost nil, this moment, the anode of Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 had a voltage level V Oled(that is, the cross-pressure of Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 and supply voltage OVSS and) makes that the voltage level of A end of storage capacitors Cst is (V Oled+ V TH); V wherein THCritical voltage for driving transistors M1.This voltage level V OledCan change along with the material attenuation characteristic of Organic Light Emitting Diode 210, promptly 110 running times of Organic Light Emitting Diode of a specified duration more, its voltage level V OledCan be high more.Return on the circuit, it is Vdata that the switching transistor M5 that this moment, the data voltage Vdata that provides of data drive circuit 102 saw through conducting makes the voltage level of the B end of storage capacitors Cst, so that store the quantity of electric charge (V on the storage capacitors Cst Oled+ V TH-Vdata).
In phase III S3, the voltage level of the sweep signal SCAN that scan drive circuit 104 provides changes the accurate L in low-voltage position that makes switching transistor M2 and M3 conducting into then, and this moment, switching transistor M4 and M5 ended.Thus, driving transistors M1 can (be electric capacity cross-pressure V according to the quantity of electric charge on this moment storage capacitors Cst just S1g1) generation pixel current I OledDrive Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 and produce corresponding brightness.At this moment, the B end of storage capacitors Cst communicates with the grid G 1 of driving transistors M1 because of switching transistor M3 conducting, the switching transistor M2 that supply voltage OVDD sees through conducting once more provides to the A end of storage capacitors Cst and makes the voltage level of A end of storage capacitors Cst change into OVDD, and because of the continuous characteristic of electric capacity both end voltage, the voltage level of the B of storage capacitors Cst end also with increase voltage Δ V.This voltage Δ V equals the voltage level of A end from (V Oled+ V TH) change to the variable quantity of OVDD, i.e. Δ V=OVDD-V Oled-V THSo the voltage level of the B end of storage capacitors Cst finally can be changed into (Vdata+ Δ V), i.e. (Vdata+OVDD-V Oled-V TH).
Hold above-mentionedly, flow through the pixel current I of Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 Oled=K* (V S1g1-V TH) 2, the voltage level of grid G 1 is the voltage level (Vdata+OVDD-V of B end Oled-V TH), and the voltage level of source S 1 is the voltage level OVDD of A end, so pixel current
I oled=K*[(OVDD-Vdata-OVDD+V oled+V TH)-V TH] 2
=K*(V oled-Vdata) 2。So far can learn, in phase III S3 (that is demonstration stage), flow through the pixel current I of Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 OledSize only with voltage level V OledAnd data voltage Vdata is relevant, and with critical voltage V THAnd supply voltage OVDD is irrelevant; And the voltage quasi position V on the anode of Organic Light Emitting Diode 110 OledBecause of 110 running times of Organic Light Emitting Diode increase when rising, can improve pixel current I OledWith the brightness decline situation of compensation when Organic Light Emitting Diode 110.Thus, the material attenuation problem of Organic Light Emitting Diode and because of supply voltage falls (IR-drop) influence and manufacturing process shows that to the panel that the influence of the critical voltage of driving transistors M1 causes uneven problem can effectively be improved, thus make active matrix organic LED display 100 long-time uses down still can keep good display quality.
In sum, the embodiment of the invention designs by the circuit structure to pixel, can make the size of the pixel current that flows through Organic Light Emitting Diode be relevant to the cross-pressure of data voltage and Organic Light Emitting Diode, and irrelevant with the critical voltage of predeterminated voltage and driving transistors.Therefore, the driving method of image element circuit, active matrix organic LED display and image element circuit that the embodiment of the invention proposes can effectively improve the material attenuation problem that panel shows uneven problem and Organic Light Emitting Diode, so that high-quality display frame to be provided, and then reach purpose of the present invention.
