In the present embodiment, because each row picture element 140 includes the same a plurality of picture elements that list in the picture element array, so each row picture element 140 all can more comprise corresponding a plurality of pixel circuits.Fig. 2 illustrates a kind of synoptic diagram of pixel circuit according to the embodiment of the invention.See figures.1.and.2 simultaneously.Pixel circuit 200 comprises luminescence component (as: Organic Light Emitting Diode D1) and driver element 210, wherein the end (as: anode) of diode D1 is electrically coupled to driver element 210, the other end of diode D1 (as: negative electrode) then is electrically coupled to a row common electrode 130 wherein, so that diode D1 receives common electric voltage signal VSS in can be during suitable.Particularly, first row common electrode (Cathode_1) 130 has the high levels common electric voltage and corresponding diode D1 is carried out reverse blas in the data during writing of first row picture element (P1) 140, and secondary series common electrode (Cathode_2) 130 has the high levels common electric voltage and corresponding diode D1 is carried out reverse blas in the data during writing of secondary series picture element (P2) 140; The rest may be inferred in the operation of all the other row common electrodes.
In other words, the row picture element (P1, P2 ...) 140 with mode by column receive sweep signal Scan_1, Scan_2, Scan_3 ... Deng and corresponding common electric voltage signal, so that the driver element 210 in each row picture element 140 by sweep signal Scan_1, Scan_2, Scan_3 ... Deng in corresponding one control, and the luminescence component in each row picture element 140 (as: Organic Light Emitting Diode D1) carries out reverse blas by the corresponding one in the common electric voltage signal.
In addition, driver element 210 is in order to drive diode D1, and comprise storage capacitors Cst, driving transistors M4 (being generally thin film transistor (TFT)) and switch M21, M22 and M3, wherein M21, M3 and M4 can be the PMOS transistor, M22 can be nmos pass transistor, and the concrete connected mode of storage capacitors Cst, driving transistors M4 and switch M21, M22 and M3 can as shown in Figure 2, repeat no more in this.
Haply, driving transistors M4 bridges between the anode of voltage source V DD and diode D1, and the end of its control end electric property coupling storage capacitors Cst.Switch M3 is opened by sweep signal Scan_N, and the therefore end that couples of the anode of the control end of conducting driving transistors M4 and transistor M4 and diode D1.Switch M21 is opened by sweep signal Scan_N, and therefore data voltage Vdata is coupled to the other end of storage capacitors Cst.Switch M22 opens during the demonstration of corresponding row picture element, and therefore is coupled to storage capacitors Cst with reference to voltage Vref.
Because each row picture element 140 can more comprise a plurality of pixel circuits 200, therefore each row picture element 140 all can comprise corresponding a plurality of luminescence components (as: Organic Light Emitting Diode D1) and a plurality of driver element 210, and each driver element 210 all can comprise above-mentioned storage capacitors Cst, driving transistors M4 and switch M21, M22 and M3, its main difference be the different lines picture element (P1, P2 ...) in 140 pixel circuit 200 according to the different scanning signal (Scan_1, Scan_2 ...) operate.For example, at first the pixel circuit 200 in the first row picture element (P1) 140 is activated by sweep signal Scan_1, carry out image display so that the diode D1 in the first row pixel circuit 200 is luminous, then the pixel circuit 200 in the secondary series picture element (P2) 140 is activated by sweep signal Scan_2 again, carries out image display so that the diode D1 in the secondary series pixel circuit 200 is luminous; The rest may be inferred in the operation of all the other row pixel circuits 200.
Fig. 3~5 illustrate a kind of operation chart of pixel circuit as shown in Figure 2 according to the embodiment of the invention.Time sequential routine figure in Fig. 6 illustrates sweep signal and the common electric voltage signal is during different according to the embodiment of the invention.Simultaneously with reference to Fig. 3~5 and Fig. 6.At this, for convenience of description for the purpose of, the pixel circuit of Fig. 3~5 in the N row picture element explains as example.
At first in Fig. 3, in during t1 (this can claim for interdischarge interval) in, sweep signal Scan_N is in the low level state, and common electric voltage signal VSS_N also is in low level state (VSS_L), this moment, switch M22 closed, switch M21 opens and so that data-signal Vdata_N is sent to storage capacitors Cst via switch M21, cause node NC to have the current potential Vdata corresponding with data-signal Vdata_N, diode D1 then is along state partially according to low level common electric voltage signal VSS_L, and switch M3 also can open and is down to VSS_L+V so that the current potential of node Vg4 draws OledThus, node Vg4 just can during draw in the t1 and be down to relative electronegative potential, with the action of reset (reset), so that the variation of electric current all can be consistent when subsequent conditioning circuit operates, avoiding current curve to produce hysteresis, and then prevent that show image from having the appearance of ghost.
Then in Fig. 4, in during t2 (this can claim for the data during writing) in, sweep signal Scan_N still is in the low level state, common electric voltage signal VSS_N then changes into the high levels state (VSS_H) that is in, this moment, switch M22 still closed, switch M21 and M3 still open, diode D1 then is contrary partially state according to high levels common electric voltage signal VSS_H, and transistor M4 can be because of conducting so that the voltage of node Vg4 charges to VDD-|Vth4| by transistor M4, and wherein Vth4 represents the critical voltage of transistor M4.
Then in Fig. 5, in during t3 (this can claim between light emission period) in, sweep signal Scan_N changes into the high levels state that is in, common electric voltage signal VSS_N then changes into the low level state (VSS_L) that is in, this moment, switch M21 and M3 closed, switch M22 opens and so that the current potential of node NC is pulled up to reference voltage Vref by switch M22, and diode D1 then is along state partially according to low level common electric voltage signal VSS_L.Because the current potential of node NC has the variation of Vref-Vdata, therefore node Vg4 also has identical variation, so that the current potential of node Vg4 increases to VDD-|Vth4|+Vref-Vdata, cause transistor M4 conducting and produce drive current Ids, use that to drive diode D1 luminous.
In this it should be noted that between light emission period, the value of drive current Ids can be derived by following mathematics formula:
Ids=1/2·β·(Vsg4-|Vth4|) 2
=1/2·β·(Vs4-Vg4-|Vth4|) 2
=1/2·β·{VDD-(VDD-|Vth4|+Vref-Vdata)-|Vth4|} 2
=1/2·β·(Vdata-Vref) 2
Therefore the value of drive current I ds can be by 1/2 β (Vdata-Vref) 2Represent, and with the critical voltage Vth4 of voltage source V DD and transistor M4 all without direct relation.Thus, just can avoid causing in each picture element drive current Ids mutually internally inconsistent because power voltage drop (IR-drop) occurs voltage source V DD, or because process variation causes the critical voltage Vth4 of transistor M4 in each picture element all not identical each other, and cause the mutual inconsistent problem of drive current Ids in each picture element.Fig. 7 illustrates as shown in Figure 2 pixel circuit at the measurement of variation relation between drive current and the data-signal wherein under the situation of film crystal pipe different critical voltage.As shown in the figure, be respectively at critical voltage (Vth)-4.23V ,-3.93V and-situation of 4.53V under, when the corresponding current potential Vdata of data-signal changed, drive current Ids was still only along with Vdata changes, and can not be subject to the impact of different critical voltage.
On the other hand, after the operation of the pixel circuit in the N row picture element is finished, then the pixel circuit in the N+1 row picture element just can be with the mode of operation of the pixel circuit in the similar N row picture element, respectively at t6 between interdischarge interval t4, data during writing t5 and light emission period, operate according to the not coordination standard of sweep signal Scan_N+1, common electric voltage signal VSS_N+1 and data-signal Vdata_N+1.

In the present embodiment, when the first sweep signal Scan_1 exported, the first common electric voltage signal VSS_1 is immediately accordingly output just, have a very short time delay (t1 as shown in Figure 6) between the two, and both positions is accurate opposite; In addition, when the second sweep signal Scan_2 exported, the second common electric voltage signal VSS_2 is immediately accordingly output just, have a very short time delay (t4 as shown in Figure 6) between the two, and both positions is accurate opposite.
Then, remove the second sweep signal Scan_2 and transmit the 3rd sweep signal Scan_3, with the driver element 210 in the 3rd row picture element (P3) 140 in the control row picture element 140.Then, remove the second common electric voltage signal VSS_2 and transmit the 3rd common electric voltage signal VSS_3 that corresponds to the 3rd sweep signal Scan_3, so that the luminescence component (as: Organic Light Emitting Diode D1) in the 3rd row picture element (P3) 140 is carried out reverse blas.
