Embodiment
For making those skilled in the art understand technical scheme of the present invention better, below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments to a kind of OLED driving circuit of the present invention, OLED display, and the method for OLED display brightness regulation is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 1, in the driving circuit of OLED, because steady operation during T2 conducting is in saturation region, namely saturation current now flows through the electric current I of OLED eL, according to the source-drain current formula of TFT saturation region, obtain the electric current I by OLED eLfor:
I EL=1/2*K×(Vdata-Vdd-Vth) 2…………(1)
In formula (1), K is the constant relevant with T2 structure, and Vdata is the voltage from the first driver element, and Vdd is the voltage from the second driver element, and Vth is the threshold voltage of T2.

Wherein, the first driver element adopts driving chip (driver IC), is previously provided with the gamma grey scale curve of multiple different brackets in described driving chip.Gamma curve is a kind of special tint ramp, and image digital signal is converted to the simulating signal Vdata needed for display panel by it.The fundamental formular of gamma transformation is:
s=c(r/max?gray(num)) γ…………(2)
In formula (2), c is constant, and r is gray-scale value (r>=0), and num is the figure place (such as 2 of gray-scale value 5position, 2 6position or 2 8position), γ is gamma value, and s is light values.
As shown in Figure 2, in gamma curve figure, its longitudinal axis is the gray scale of image, and transverse axis is gray-scale value, and when gamma value equals 1 time, gamma curve is straight line, represents input gray grade value and output brightness linear correlation; And according to the apperceive characteristic of human eye to brightness, for the gamma value of display system higher than 1.
In the present embodiment, the brightness control signal after the adjustment that driving chip sends according to control module, transfer with adjust after gamma curve corresponding to brightness control signal.Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 2, during according to the gamma curve of γ=2.2 as datum curve, if the brightness control signal after adjustment is brightness reduce signal, then transfer the curve A making output darkening, if the brightness control signal after adjustment is brightness strengthen signal, then transfer the curve B making output brightening, realize gamma transformation in this way, produce different data voltage Vdata values.Such as, in fig. 2, when the gamma curve of corresponding γ=2.2 of the gamma grade preset in this driver element, be the brightness of a point of 32 for gray-scale value in Fig. 2, correspondingly the brightness control signal of its correspondence can be adjusted to the brightness of the b point on the gamma curve of corresponding γ=3.0 of gamma grade, to reduce the display brightness of image.
Alternatively, be provided with a gamma grey scale curve in described first driver element, described first driver element directly searches corresponding gamma electric voltage according to the brightness control signal after adjustment, and described gamma electric voltage is sent to described OLED.Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 2, be the brightness of a point of 32 for gray-scale value, the brightness control signal of its correspondence be adjusted to the brightness of the c point of same gamma grade.
Include DC/DC converter in described second driver element, described second driver element adjusts the output voltage of described DC/DC converter according to the brightness control signal after adjustment, generates corresponding Vdd, Vss voltage signal.PMOS TFT, Vdd are sent to the source electrode of OLED driving transistors T2, the drain electrode of T2 is connected with the positive pole of OLED, and Vss is sent to the negative pole of OLED.That is, when this two field picture is brighter, the Vdd value before making the Vdd value after adjustment be less than adjustment relatively; Such as, when the brightness of described subimage is greater than Benchmark brightness the first preset range, brightness control signal corresponding reduction first setting range that described control module will be used for the OLED showing this subimage; Exemplarily: described first preset range is 30%-50%, described first setting range is 20%-40%.
Further, in order to not lose the details of dark portion while reducing image display brightness, do not affect display effect, when this two field picture is darker, the Vdd value before making the Vdd value after adjustment be greater than adjustment relatively.Such as, when the brightness of described subimage is less than Benchmark brightness the second preset range, brightness control signal corresponding increase second setting range that described control module will be used for the OLED showing this subimage; Exemplarily, described second preset range is 30%-50%, and described second setting range is 20%-40%.
In the present embodiment, the mode that described control module sends brightness control signal to described second driver element is pulse-length modulation (Pulse Width Modulation:PWM) mode, namely described pulse width modulation is by the dutycycle D(duty ratio of regulating impulse width) change the output voltage Vout of DC/DC converter, thus the size of Vdd voltage in change OLED display panel on T2, as shown in Figure 4 A, PWM square-wave signal as shown in Figure 4 B for concrete circuit diagram.In figure 4b, the ratio of the cycle of PWM square-wave signal is T, dutycycle D to be signal be high level time T 0 and cycle T.The output voltage Vout of DC/DC converter is directly proportional to the dutycycle D of PWM square wave, and formula is as follows:
Vdd=Vout=D×Vin…………(3)
In formula (3), Vin is the Vdd value corresponding to the brightness before can showing the adjustment of this two field picture, changes D and can reach the object changing Vdd.
Keep Vdata constant when white picture or high-brghtness picture images, and reduce Vdd value, the size being namely equivalent to aperture during the T2 conducting of OLED driving transistors is constant, but can make the electric current I flowing through each OLED eldiminish accordingly, thus picture brightness is reduced relatively, and the lower power consumption of single OLED, and then reach the object of the lower power consumption making whole OLED display panel; Keep Vdata constant when black picture or low darkness image, and increase Vdd value, the size being namely equivalent to aperture during the T2 conducting of OLED driving transistors is constant, but can make the electric current I flowing through each OLED eLcorresponding increase, thus picture brightness is improved relatively, the display effect of OLED display panel is improved.
In the present embodiment, the brightness of mode to image to the first driver element and the second driver element adjust simultaneously is adopted to adjust.Because the power consumption of OLED is mainly by the electric current I flowing through OLED eLsize determine, according to formula (1), when (Vdata-Vdd) changes, cause the electric current I flowing through OLED accordingly eLsize change.But, (Vdata-Vdd) entirety after ensureing adjustment for reduce trend time, when showing this two field picture, overall brightness is larger even by obtaining.Above-mentioned Vdd, Vdata and row gating signal Vsel(and prior art control signal with) make OLED continue to light in a frame time, and show this two field picture according to the brightness after adjustment, thus reach the overall power reducing AM-OLED display panel, the object improving image quality.
