Embodiment
For making the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearly understand, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.At this, schematic description and description of the present invention is for explaining the present invention, but not as a limitation of the invention.
Embodiment one:
The structural representation of the organic light-emitting diode pixel circuit that Fig. 2 provides for the embodiment of the present invention one.As shown in Figure 2, sweep trace Select [n] and data line Data [m] defines the pixel region of this organic light-emitting diode pixel.On-off element 201 is connected between data line Data [m] and the grid of driving transistors 202, and on-off element 201 determines its on off state according to the control signal of sweep trace Select [n].When on-off element 201 conducting, the data-signal on data line Data [m] is transferred to the grid of driving transistors 202, controls the switch of driving transistors 202.Driving transistors 202 is P-type crystal pipe, the general TFT adopting P type.The source electrode of driving transistors 202 is connected with pixel power VDD by a resistor R 204, and its drain electrode is connected to the anode of Organic Light Emitting Diode OLED 205; The negative electrode of Organic Light Emitting Diode OLED 205 is connected to fixing electronegative potential (being ground connection in figure).Capacitor C 203 is connected between the grid of driving transistors 202 and pixel power VDD.
Fig. 2 is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and in fact, capacitor C 203 can be connected between the grid of driving transistors 202 and any set potential.This set potential can be pixel power VDD (as shown in Figure 2), also can be ground connection, can also be other any set potentials.
As one preferred embodiment, on-off element 201 can be N-type transistor (as N-TFT) as shown in Figure 3, also can be P-type crystal pipe (as P-TFT).

In the present embodiment, the expression formula flowing through the electric current of Organic Light Emitting Diode 205 can be expressed as follows again:

Wherein, Vg is the grid voltage of driving transistors 202, and Vs is the source voltage of driving transistors 202.As above formula is known, when Vth decline causes Id to rise time, if reduce Vs, (Vg-Vs-Vth) just can be made to remain unchanged, thus eliminate the impact of Vth reduction on Id.
In like manner, if Vth raises, then strengthen Vs, also can reach the impact of Vth change on Id.For mobility u, obtain from above formula equally, if u becomes large, then reduce Vs; If u diminishes, then increase Vs.Like this, just can be controlled by the change of Vs, Id is compensated, reach the object improving display effect.
