Description
【技术领域】【Technical field】
本发明系关于一种有机发光显示器与其驱动电路以及其驱动方法,尤指一种各像素具有三个晶体管的有机发光显示器与其驱动电路以及驱动此驱动电路的方法。The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display, its driving circuit and its driving method, especially to an organic light emitting display with three transistors in each pixel, its driving circuit and its driving method.
【背景技术】【Background technique】
近年来,有机发光二极管(organiclight-emittingdisplay,OLED)显示器已渐渐成为热门的新兴平面显示器,由于具有自发光、广视角、反应时间快、高发光效率、低操作电压、面板厚度薄、可制作成可挠曲性面板以及制程简单等优点,因此已广泛地应用于各种平面显示产品上。In recent years, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display has gradually become a popular emerging flat-panel display. Due to its self-illumination, wide viewing angle, fast response time, high luminous efficiency, low operating voltage, and thin panel thickness, it can be made into Due to the advantages of flexible panel and simple manufacturing process, it has been widely used in various flat display products.
传统有机发光显示器的像素系以一开关晶体管与一驱动晶体管来控制与驱动作为显示单元的有机发光二极管。然而,驱动晶体管在长时间使用后,会产生临界电压的偏移。并且,当有机发光显示器显示画面时,各驱动晶体管的位置与操作时间并不相同,使得每个驱动晶体管的临界电压的偏移量亦会有所不同。再者,有机发光二极管的驱动电流系与驱动晶体管的栅极与源极的电压差与临界电压的差呈平方正比关系。如此一来,当不同区域的像素接收具有相同电压的像素数据时,由于驱动晶体管的临界电压的差异,使得在这些像素中,被提供至有机发光二极管的驱动电流的值不一致,造成了有机发光二极管在接收到相同像素数据的电压时所产生的亮度相异,因而使得有机发光显示器显示的画面不均匀。A pixel of a conventional organic light emitting display uses a switch transistor and a driving transistor to control and drive an organic light emitting diode as a display unit. However, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor will shift after being used for a long time. Moreover, when the organic light-emitting display displays images, the positions and operation times of the driving transistors are different, so that the offset of the threshold voltage of each driving transistor will also be different. Furthermore, the driving current of the organic light emitting diode is proportional to the square of the voltage difference between the gate and the source of the driving transistor and the threshold voltage. In this way, when pixels in different regions receive pixel data with the same voltage, due to differences in the threshold voltages of the driving transistors, the value of the driving current supplied to the organic light emitting diodes in these pixels is inconsistent, resulting in organic light emitting diodes. When the diodes receive voltages of the same pixel data, the luminances produced are different, thus making the picture displayed by the organic light-emitting display uneven.
因此,已有发展出于各像素中增加一补偿电路,以利用四个晶体管与两个电容来驱动有机发光二极管,并补偿临界电压的误差。不过,随着有机发光显示面版的尺寸缩小,像素的开口率会降低,而补偿电路的增加更会大幅地限制各像素的开口率。有鉴于此,提升有机发光显示器的像素的开口率,并维持所显示画面的均匀性实为业界努力的目标。Therefore, it has been developed to add a compensation circuit to each pixel to use four transistors and two capacitors to drive the OLED and compensate the error of the threshold voltage. However, as the size of the organic light-emitting display panel shrinks, the aperture ratio of the pixels will decrease, and the increase of the compensation circuit will greatly limit the aperture ratio of each pixel. In view of this, increasing the aperture ratio of the pixel of the organic light emitting display and maintaining the uniformity of the displayed image is the goal of the industry.

In addition, in order to clearly illustrate the driving method of the driving circuit of each column of pixels, the following description is made by taking the same column of pixels as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the driving circuits of different columns of pixels in the present invention can be driven in the same manner. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , and refer to FIG. 4 together. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a driving method of a driving circuit of an organic light emitting display according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the operation timing of data signals, scanning signals, driving voltage signals and reset signals of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the driving method of the driving circuit of the organic light-emitting display in this embodiment includes:
步骤S10:分别提供参考电压Vref对电性连接至各第二晶体管124的控制端G2的各电容128的第一端C1充电,以及提供重设电压Vreset对电性连接至各第二晶体管124的第二端D2与各有机发光二极管130的阳极130a的各电容128的第二端C2放电;Step S10: providing the reference voltage Vref to charge the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 electrically connected to the control terminal G2 of each second transistor 124, and providing the reset voltage Vreset to charge the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 electrically connected to the control terminal G2 of each second transistor 124 The second terminal D2 is discharged with the second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128 of each anode 130a of each organic light emitting diode 130;
步骤S12:停止各电容128的第二端C2的放电,以及利用第二控制元件116b提供驱动电压信号EM至各第二晶体管124的第一端S2,以对电性连接至各第二晶体管124的第二端D2的各电容128的第二端C2充电;Step S12: stop the discharge of the second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128, and use the second control element 116b to provide a driving voltage signal EM to the first terminal S2 of each second transistor 124 to electrically connect to each second transistor 124 The second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128 of the second terminal D2 is charged;
步骤S14:分别利用数据电压Vdata对各电容128的第一端C1充电,以及停止提供驱动电压信号EM;以及Step S14: charging the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 with the data voltage Vdata respectively, and stopping providing the driving voltage signal EM; and
步骤S16:浮接各电容128的第一端C1,以及驱动有机发光二极管130。并且,提供至有机发光显示器100的驱动电路的扫描信号Sscan、数据信号Sdata、重设信号Sreset与驱动电压信号EM主要包含有一重设时段TD1、一临界电压补偿时段TD2、一数据写入时段TD3以及一发光时段TD4,且重设电压Vsus为DC电压。Step S16 : Float the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 and drive the OLED 130 . Moreover, the scanning signal Sscan, data signal Sdata, reset signal Sreset and driving voltage signal EM provided to the driving circuit of the organic light emitting display 100 mainly include a reset period TD1, a threshold voltage compensation period TD2, and a data writing period TD3. and a light-emitting period TD4, and the reset voltage Vsus is a DC voltage.
于步骤S10中,有机发光显示器100的驱动电路系操作于重设时段TD1,且扫描信号Sscan与数据信号Sdata为互补的信号,亦即,扫描信号Sscan与数据信号Sdata具有相同频率,但具有180度的相位差,使得当扫描信号为逻辑高准位时,数据信号系为参考电压,而当扫描信号为逻辑低准位时,数据信号为用于显示画面的数据电压,且数据电压大于参考电压。因此,在重设时段TD1中,当扫描信号为逻辑高准位时,同一列像素的各第一晶体管122被开启,且由于各第一晶体管122的第一端S1电性连接到各数据线,使得提供至各第一晶体管122的第一端S1的各数据信号Sdata的参考电压Vref会通过各第一晶体管122对各第一晶体管122的第二端D1充电,亦即对各电容128的第一端C1充电。同时,在重设时段TD1中,重设信号Sreset为逻辑高准位,且驱动电压信号EM为逻辑低准位,因此同一列像素的各第三晶体管126会被开启,且由于各第三晶体管126的第一端S3电性连接至各重设电压线,使得提供至各第三晶体管126的第一端S3的各重设电压Vsus会对各第三晶体管126的第二端D3放电,亦即对各电容128的第二端C2放电。由此可知,于重设时段TD1中,各电容128系利用参考电压Vref和重设电压Vsus对第一端C1与第二端C2的电压做重新设定(reset)的动作,目的是为了让驱动新画面的数据电压Vdata可以正确写入。此时,各电容128的第一端C1的电压为参考电压Vref,且第二端C2的电压为重设电压Vsus。此外,各有机发光二极管的阴极电性连接至低电压,且重设电压Vsus系小于低电压,使得重设电压Vsus可于重设时段TD1中对电容128的第二端C2放电。于本实施例中,扫描信号Sscan于重设时段TD1中具有多个逻辑高准位时段与多个逻辑低准位时段,且数据信号Sdata于重设时段TD1中具有多个参考电压时段与多个数据电压时段,但本发明并不限于此,于本发明的其他实施例中,扫描信号于重设时段亦可仅具有单一逻辑高准位,且数据信号则仅具有单一参考电压时段。In step S10, the driving circuit of the organic light emitting display 100 is operated in the reset period TD1, and the scan signal Sscan and the data signal Sdata are complementary signals, that is, the scan signal Sscan and the data signal Sdata have the same frequency, but have 180 Degree of phase difference, so that when the scan signal is logic high level, the data signal is the reference voltage, and when the scan signal is logic low level, the data signal is the data voltage used to display the picture, and the data voltage is greater than the reference voltage Voltage. Therefore, in the reset period TD1, when the scan signal is at a logic high level, each first transistor 122 of the same row of pixels is turned on, and since the first terminal S1 of each first transistor 122 is electrically connected to each data line , so that the reference voltage Vref of each data signal Sdata provided to the first end S1 of each first transistor 122 will charge the second end D1 of each first transistor 122 through each first transistor 122, that is, charge the second end D1 of each capacitor 128 The first terminal C1 is charged. At the same time, in the reset period TD1, the reset signal Sreset is at a logic high level, and the driving voltage signal EM is at a logic low level, so each third transistor 126 of the same row of pixels is turned on, and since each third transistor The first terminal S3 of the 126 is electrically connected to each reset voltage line, so that each reset voltage Vsus provided to the first terminal S3 of each third transistor 126 will discharge the second terminal D3 of each third transistor 126, and also That is, the second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128 is discharged. It can be seen that, in the reset period TD1, each capacitor 128 uses the reference voltage Vref and the reset voltage Vsus to reset (reset) the voltages of the first terminal C1 and the second terminal C2. The data voltage Vdata driving the new picture can be correctly written. At this moment, the voltage of the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 is the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage of the second terminal C2 is the reset voltage Vsus. In addition, the cathodes of each OLED are electrically connected to the low voltage, and the reset voltage Vsus is smaller than the low voltage, so that the reset voltage Vsus can discharge the second terminal C2 of the capacitor 128 in the reset period TD1 . In this embodiment, the scan signal Sscan has a plurality of logic high level periods and a plurality of logic low level periods in the reset period TD1, and the data signal Sdata has a plurality of reference voltage periods and a plurality of logic low level periods in the reset period TD1. data voltage periods, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the scan signal may only have a single logic high level during the reset period, and the data signal may only have a single reference voltage period.
于步骤S12中,有机发光显示器100的驱动电路系操作于临界电压补偿时段TD2。此时,扫描信号Sscan与数据信号Sdata系与重设时段TD1相同,因此参考电压Vref依然对各电容128的第一端C1充电,使得各第二晶体管124的控制端G2的电压可为参考电压Vref,且通过参考电压Vref开启各第二晶体管124。同时,重设信号Sreset转换为逻辑低准位,使得各电容128的第二端C2因各第三晶体管126被关闭而呈现浮接状态,进而停止对各电容128的第二端C2放电。不过,驱动电压信号EM系从逻辑低准位转换为逻辑高准位,且因各第二晶体管124处于开启状态,所以各电容128的第二端C2的电压系由驱动电压信号EM来决定,且驱动电压信号EM会对电性连接至各第二晶体管124的第二端D2的各电容128的第二端C2充电。由于各第二晶体管124的控制端G2与第二端D2的临界电压为Vt,因此当各第二晶体管124的第二端D2的电压被驱动电压信号EM充电到Vref-Vt时,各第二晶体管124会关闭,且驱动有机发光二极管的电流IOLED降为零。此时,各第二晶体管124的第二端D2的电压可根据下列方程式决定:In step S12, the driving circuit of the organic light emitting display 100 is operated in the threshold voltage compensation period TD2. At this time, the scan signal Sscan and the data signal Sdata are the same as the reset period TD1, so the reference voltage Vref still charges the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128, so that the voltage of the control terminal G2 of each second transistor 124 can be the reference voltage. Vref, and each second transistor 124 is turned on by the reference voltage Vref. At the same time, the reset signal Sreset is converted to a logic low level, so that the second terminals C2 of the capacitors 128 are in a floating state because the third transistors 126 are turned off, thereby stopping discharging the second terminals C2 of the capacitors 128 . However, the driving voltage signal EM is converted from a logic low level to a logic high level, and because each second transistor 124 is in an open state, the voltage of the second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128 is determined by the driving voltage signal EM, And the driving voltage signal EM charges the second terminal C2 of each capacitor 128 electrically connected to the second terminal D2 of each second transistor 124 . Since the critical voltage of the control terminal G2 and the second terminal D2 of each second transistor 124 is Vt, when the voltage of the second terminal D2 of each second transistor 124 is charged to Vref-Vt by the driving voltage signal EM, each second The transistor 124 is turned off, and the current I OLED driving the OLED drops to zero. At this time, the voltage of the second terminal D2 of each second transistor 124 can be determined according to the following equation:
Vs=Vref-Vt;Vs=Vref-Vt;
其中:in:
Vs为各第二晶体管124的第二端C2的电压;Vs is the voltage of the second terminal C2 of each second transistor 124;
Vref为参考电压;以及Vref is the reference voltage; and
Vt为各第二晶体管124的临界电压(thresholdvoltage)。Vt is a threshold voltage (threshold voltage) of each second transistor 124 .
于步骤S14中,有机发光显示器100的驱动电路系操作于数据写入时段TD3。此时,扫描信号Sscan并未与数据信号Sdata互补,且当扫描信号Sscan为逻辑高准位时,数据信号Sdata可为数据电压Vdata,且各第一晶体管122可处于开启状态,使得提供至各第一晶体管122的第一端S1的各数据电压Vdata可分别对各电容128的第一端C1充电。藉此,各第二晶体管124的控制端G2的电压可分别为各数据电压Vdata。并且,于数据写入时段TD3中,重设信号Sreset仍处于逻辑低准位,且驱动电压信号EM转换为逻辑低准位,以停止提供驱动电压信号至各第二晶体管124。值得一提的是,数据电压Vdata通过第二晶体管122的控制端G2控制驱动有机发光二极管130的电流IOLED的大小,且电流IOLED的大小系对应有机发光二极管130的灰阶值。因此,当数据信号Sdata从参考电压Vref转换为数据电压Vdata,且电容128的第二端C2系呈浮接状态时,第二晶体管124的第二端D2的电压VS可根据下列方程式决定:In step S14, the driving circuit of the organic light emitting display 100 operates in the data writing period TD3. At this time, the scan signal Sscan is not complementary to the data signal Sdata, and when the scan signal Sscan is at a logic high level, the data signal Sdata can be the data voltage Vdata, and each first transistor 122 can be in an open state, so that the voltage provided to each Each data voltage Vdata at the first terminal S1 of the first transistor 122 can charge the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 respectively. Accordingly, the voltages of the control terminals G2 of the second transistors 124 can be respectively the data voltages Vdata. Moreover, in the data writing period TD3 , the reset signal Sreset is still at a logic low level, and the driving voltage signal EM is converted to a logic low level, so as to stop providing the driving voltage signal to each second transistor 124 . It is worth mentioning that the data voltage Vdata controls the magnitude of the current I OLED driving the OLED 130 through the control terminal G2 of the second transistor 122 , and the magnitude of the current I OLED corresponds to the grayscale value of the OLED 130 . Therefore, when the data signal Sdata is converted from the reference voltage Vref to the data voltage Vdata, and the second terminal C2 of the capacitor 128 is in a floating state, the voltage VS of the second terminal D2 of the second transistor 124 can be determined according to the following equation:
VS=Vref-Vt+a(Vdara-Vref), V S =Vref-Vt+a(Vdara-Vref),
其中:in:
Vdata系为数据电压;Vdata is the data voltage;
C1系为电容128的电容值;以及C1 is the capacitance value of the capacitor 128; and
C2系为有机发光二极管130的等效电容值,即寄生电容130c的电容值。C2 is the equivalent capacitance of the OLED 130, that is, the capacitance of the parasitic capacitor 130c.
于步骤S16中,有机发光显示器100的驱动电路系操作于发光时段TD4。此时,扫描信号Sscan系转换为逻辑低准位,使得各第一晶体管124被关闭,且浮接各电容128的第一端C1。因此,各电容128的第一端C1的电压仍为数据电压Vdata,使第二晶体管124仍为开启状态。同时,驱动电压信号EM转换为逻辑高准位,且由于各第二晶体管124的第一端S2电性连接至驱动电压线,因此从第二控制元件116b提供至各第二晶体管124的第一端S2的驱动电压信号EM会通过各第二晶体管124驱动各有机发光二极管130。此时,各第二晶体管124的控制端G2的电压VG以及各第二晶体管124的第二端S2的电压VS可根据下列方程式决定:In step S16, the driving circuit of the organic light emitting display 100 operates in the light emitting period TD4. At this time, the scan signal Sscan is converted to a logic low level, so that each first transistor 124 is turned off, and the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 is floated. Therefore, the voltage of the first terminal C1 of each capacitor 128 is still the data voltage Vdata, so that the second transistor 124 is still turned on. At the same time, the driving voltage signal EM is converted to a logic high level, and since the first terminal S2 of each second transistor 124 is electrically connected to the driving voltage line, the first terminal S2 of each second transistor 124 is provided from the second control element 116b. The driving voltage signal EM of the terminal S2 drives each organic light emitting diode 130 through each second transistor 124 . At this time, the voltage V G of the control terminal G2 of each second transistor 124 and the voltage V S of the second terminal S2 of each second transistor 124 can be determined according to the following equation:
VG=Vdata+Vt-Vref-a(Vdata-Vref)+OVSS+VOLED,V G =Vdata+Vt-Vref-a(Vdata-Vref)+OVSS+VOLED,
Vs=OVSS+VOLED;V s =OVSS+VOLED;
其中:in:
VG系为各第二晶体管124的控制端G1的电压;V G is the voltage of the control terminal G1 of each second transistor 124;
OVSS系为各有机发光二极管130的阴极130b的电压,即低电压;以及OVSS is the voltage of the cathode 130b of each organic light emitting diode 130, that is, the low voltage; and
VOLED系为各有机发光二极管130的跨压。VOLED is the voltage across each OLED 130 .
由于各第二晶体管124的控制端G2的电压VG和第二端S2的电压VS皆已知,所以各第二晶体管124的控制端G2和第二端S2的电压差VGS可根据下列方程式决定:Since the voltage VG of the control terminal G2 of each second transistor 124 and the voltage VS of the second terminal S2 are known, the voltage difference VGS between the control terminal G2 and the second terminal S2 of each second transistor 124 can be determined according to the following equation:
VGS=VG-VS V GS =V G -V S
=Vdata+Vt-Vref-a(Vdata-Vref)+OVSS+VOLED=Vdata+Vt-Vref-a(Vdata-Vref)+OVSS+VOLED
-OVSS-VOLED-OVSS-VOLED
=(1-a)(Vdata-Vref)+Vt=(1-a)(Vdata-Vref)+Vt
因此,此时驱动有机发光二极管的电流IOLED可根据下列方程式决定:Therefore, the current IOLED driving the OLED can be determined according to the following equation:
IOLED=k(VGS-Vt)2=k[(1-a)(Vdata-Vref)]2 I OLED =k(V GS -Vt) 2 =k[(1-a)(Vdata-Vref)] 2
由此可知,通过各有机发光二极管的电流IOLED与第二晶体管124的临界电压Vt与低电压OVSS无关。It can be known that the current IOLED passing through each organic light emitting diode and the threshold voltage Vt of the second transistor 124 have nothing to do with the low voltage OVSS.
由上述可知,本实施例的有机发光显示器100可利用上述的驱动方法,且搭配三个晶体管与一电容即可达到驱动有机发光二极管130,并补偿第二晶体管所产生的临界电压的偏移。藉此,本实施例的有机发光显示器100的各像素仅需配置三个晶体管与一电容,而可有效降低晶体管数量,且可减少晶体管所占的面积,使得各像素的开口率可有效提升。并且,本实施例的有机发光显示器100更可不包含有一高压电源线,而更有效缩减配置线路,因此亦可提升各像素的开口率。It can be seen from the above that the organic light emitting display 100 of this embodiment can use the above driving method, and can drive the organic light emitting diode 130 with three transistors and a capacitor, and compensate the shift of the threshold voltage generated by the second transistor. Thereby, each pixel of the organic light emitting display 100 in this embodiment only needs to be equipped with three transistors and one capacitor, which can effectively reduce the number of transistors and the area occupied by the transistors, so that the aperture ratio of each pixel can be effectively increased. Moreover, the organic light emitting display 100 of this embodiment does not include a high-voltage power supply line, which can more effectively reduce the configuration lines, and thus also increase the aperture ratio of each pixel.

The reset signal lines 204 can be divided into odd reset signal lines 204 a and even reset signal lines 204 b , and the odd reset signal lines 204 a and the even reset signal lines 204 b are arranged alternately along the second direction 120 in sequence. The driving voltage lines 206 can be divided into odd driving voltage lines 206 a and even driving voltage lines 206 b, and the odd driving voltage lines 206 a and the even driving voltage lines 206 b are arranged alternately along the second direction 120 in sequence. In addition, each odd scan line 202a, each odd reset signal line 204a, each odd drive voltage line 206a, each even drive voltage line 206b, each even reset signal line 204b, and each even scan line 202b are sequentially along the second direction 120 are arranged alternately. Thereby, the structures in the pixel regions 102 c of two adjacent columns are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the first direction 118 .
综上所述,本发明的有机发光显示器的各像素可仅使用三个晶体管与一电容即可达到驱动有机发光二极管130,并补偿第二晶体管所产生的临界电压的偏移,藉此可有效降低晶体管数量,且可减少晶体管所占的面积,因此各像素的开口率可有效提升。并且,本发明的有机发光显示器更可不包含有一高压电源线,而更有效缩减配置线路,因此亦可提升各像素的开口率。To sum up, each pixel of the organic light emitting display of the present invention can drive the organic light emitting diode 130 using only three transistors and one capacitor, and compensate the shift of the threshold voltage generated by the second transistor, thereby effectively The number of transistors is reduced, and the area occupied by the transistors can be reduced, so the aperture ratio of each pixel can be effectively increased. Moreover, the organic light-emitting display of the present invention does not include a high-voltage power supply line, which can more effectively reduce the layout of lines, so that the aperture ratio of each pixel can also be increased.
