Description

Image element circuit, display device and display drive method
Technical field
The application relates to display device technical field, particularly relates to a kind of image element circuit, display device and display drive method.
Background technology
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OrganicLight-EmittingDiode, OLED) display, because having the advantages such as high brightness, high-luminous-efficiency, wide viewing angle and low-power consumption, is extensively studied by people in recent years, and is applied to rapidly in the middle of display of new generation.The type of drive of OLED display can be passive waked-up (PassiveMatrixOLED, PMOLED) and driven with active matrix (ActiveMatrixOLED, AMOLED) two kinds.Although passive waked-up is with low cost, there is cross-talk phenomenon and can not realize high-resolution display, and passive waked-up electric current is large, reduces the serviceable life of OLED.By contrast, driven with active matrix mode arranges the different transistor of number on each pixel as current source, and avoid cross-talk, required drive current is less, and power consumption is lower, the life-span of OLED is increased, can realize high-resolution display.
The image element circuit of tradition AMOLED is simple two Thin Film Transistor (TFT) (ThinFilmTransistor, TFT) structures, and as shown in Figure 1, this image element circuit 10 comprises switching transistor 13, electric capacity 16, driving transistors 14 and illuminating part OLED15.The control signal that switching transistor 13 responds from scan control line SCAN12 is sampled from the data-signal of data line DATA11.Electric capacity 16 closes the voltage data signal of having no progeny and preserving and sampling at switching transistor 13.The input voltage that driving transistors 14 retains according to electric capacity 16 between given light emission period supplies output current.The light that illuminating part OLED15 matches by sending its brightness and data-signal from the output current of driving transistors 14.According to the electric current and voltage formula of transistor, the electric current that driving transistors 14 flows through can be expressed as:
I DS=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V G-V OLED-V TH) 2……(1)
Wherein, I dSdrain electrode for driving transistors 14 flows to the drain current of source electrode, μ nfor the effective mobility of TFT device, C oxfor the gate capacitance of TFT device unit area, W, L are respectively effective channel width and the channel length of TFT device, V gfor the grid voltage of TFT device, V oLEDthe bias voltage on OLED15, V tHfor the threshold voltage of TFT device, V oLEDrelevant to the threshold voltage of OLED15.
Although this circuit structure is simple, can not compensation for drive transistor 14 threshold voltage V tHdrift, OLED15 threshold voltage shift or cause the threshold voltage V of panel TFT device everywhere because TFT device adopts polycrystalline silicon material to make tHunevenness.As driving transistors 14 threshold voltage V tH, there is drift or V everywhere on panel in OLED15 threshold voltage tHvalue inconsistent time, according to formula (1) drive current I dSwill change, and pixels different on panel because of bias voltage difference drift situation also different, the unevenness of Display panel will be caused like this.
Therefore, just current, in order to solve the V of TFT device tHthe problem that drift brings, the technique that the image element circuit regardless of AMOLED adopts is polysilicon (poly-Si) technology, amorphous silicon (a-Si) technology or oxide semiconductor technology, and it all needs to provide threshold voltage V when forming image element circuit tHcompensation mechanism.The current image element circuit having occurred much affording redress, these circuit roughly can be divided into two classes: voltage driven type image element circuit and current drive-type image element circuit.Current drive-type image element circuit mainly adopts current mirror or current source data current to be copied as by a certain percentage the mode of drive current to light illuminating part.Because OLED is current mode device, therefore employing current drive-type circuit can the very accurate drift of compensating threshold voltage and the difference of mobility.But when practical application, due to the parasitic capacitance effect on data line, the foundation of data current needs the longer time, and this problem is more outstanding when small area analysis, has had a strong impact on the actuating speed of circuit.Voltage driven type image element circuit has very fast charge/discharge rates relative to current drive-type image element circuit, can meet the needs of large area, high-resolution display.But many voltage driven type image element circuits are at compensating threshold voltage V tHdrift time, need complicated circuit structure and introduce multi-strip scanning line, this makes the aperture opening ratio of pixel reduce and requires higher to the raster data model IC of outside, and adds line cost.
Consider above factor, one can as current mode circuit the unevenness of the threshold voltage shift of fine compensation TFT device or OLED or display panel TFT device threshold voltage everywhere, equally with voltage-type driving circuit can realize again data input fast, and circuit structure is simple, the few pixel-driving circuit of device count is used to have advantage clearly.

Please refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is a kind of signal timing diagram of image element circuit 56 shown in Fig. 4, wherein SCAN [1] sweep signal that is the first row pixel, by that analogy.A kind of display driver process of image element circuit 56 shown in Fig. 4 is specifically described, i.e. the display drive method of the embodiment of the present application one below in conjunction with Fig. 5.
As shown in Figure 5, the time that whole sweep signal scans a frame is divided into data input phase and glow phase.Wherein at data input phase, the image element circuit 56 of often going is divided into again data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage.When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is high, then image element circuit 56 is in the data input selection stage; When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is low, then image element circuit 56 is in the data input non-selection stage.
In the data input selection stage, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 is coupled in bias current sources 47, and provides a constant bias current.When the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 becomes high level, the first transistor 24 is in conducting state, makes image element circuit 56 be in the data input selection stage.Now, the bias current in bias current line 54 charges to the first electric capacity 27 by the first transistor 24, and charge namely to memory node 28, therefore the current potential of memory node 28 can slowly raise.Memory node 28 is coupled to, so transistor seconds 25 can become conducting state from cut-off state gradually because of the rising of memory node 28 current potential because second of transistor seconds 25 controls pole.After transistor seconds 25 conducting, the bias current in bias current line 54 partly will flow through the 3rd electrode and the 4th electrode of transistor seconds 25, and this size of current flowing through transistor seconds 25 is:
I DS 2 = 1 2 μ n C ox W L ( V store - V OLED - V TH 2 ) 2 . . . . . . ( 2 )
Wherein, μ n, C ox, W, L and V tH2be respectively the effective mobility of transistor seconds 25, unit area gate capacitance, channel width, channel length and first threshold voltage.V store, V oLEDthen be respectively the voltage on the voltage of memory node 28 and Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.By formula (2), can find out, the electric current flowing through transistor seconds 25 increases with the current potential rising of memory node 28.Finally, I is worked as dS2equal bias current I bIAStime, bias current I bIASset up completely in image element circuit 56, now the current potential V of memory node 28 storecan be derived as by formula (2):
V store = 2 I BIAS L μ n C ox W + V OLED + V TH 2 . . . . . . ( 3 )
Herein, I bIASfor bias current, V oLEDcan think the bias voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29, it is relevant to the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.Can be found by (3), now the current potential of memory node 28 contains the first threshold information of voltage of transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold information of voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.
In the data input selection stage, data line 55 can synchronously provide the data voltage representing half-tone information, and setting its magnitude of voltage is herein V data.This data voltage V datawith the storage voltage V of memory node 28 store, be stored in the first electric capacity 27 two ends respectively, then the voltage difference on the first electric capacity 27 is: V data-V store.
Now, the quantity of electric charge of memory node 28 can be expressed as:
Q A=(V store-V data)C1+(V store-V H)C2+(V store-V OLED-V TH2)C g2……(4)
Wherein, V hfor the level value of data input selection stage sweep signal, C g2for the gate capacitance of transistor seconds, C1 and C2 is respectively the capacitance of the first electric capacity 26 and the second electric capacity 27.
Terminate in the data input selection stage, the data input non-selection stage is when starting, sweep trace 57 becomes low level from high level, this change in voltage not only makes the first transistor 24 become cut-off state from conducting state, also be coupled to memory node 28 by the second electric capacity 26, make the current potential of memory node 28 become the first negative potential, transistor seconds 25 entered and remain off state in the data input non-selection stage.
In the data input non-selection stage, the first transistor 24 and transistor seconds 25 are all in cut-off state, and bias current line 54 and data line 55 provide bias current respectively for other image element circuits 56 and characterize the data voltage of half-tone information.It should be noted that, in this process, the level change of data line 55 may be coupled to memory node 28 by the first electric capacity 27, the current potential of memory node 28 is raised, therefore, in order to ensure transistor seconds 25 in the non-selection stage not conducting of data input, the first negative potential of memory node 28 needs enough low.
At above-mentioned data input phase, all pixels enter data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage line by line, and the same time only has one-row pixels to be in the data input selection stage, and in this data input selection stage, above-mentioned first threshold information of voltage, Second Threshold information of voltage and half-tone information are stored in the memory node 28 of pixel as reference voltage.
After data input phase, it is and then glow phase.In glow phase, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 disconnects the connection with bias current sources 47, and be coupled on voltage source 45, this voltage source 45, for providing constant supply voltage for all image element circuits be coupled with bias current line 54, makes transistor seconds 25 provide a drive current for Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.Data line 55 now also provides a reference potential, and this magnitude of voltage is V ref.On data line 55, the variation of current potential can be coupled in memory node 28 by the first electric capacity 27, makes the current potential of memory node 28 become V hIGH.It should be noted that memory node 28 is in suspended state, and the quantity of electric charge wherein does not change in data input non-selection stage and glow phase.It can be expressed as in glow phase:
Q A=(V HIGH-V L)C2+(V HIGH-V ref)C1+(V HIGH-V OLED-V TH2)C g2……(5)
Wherein, V lit is the magnitude of voltage of the non-selection stage sweep signal of data input.Formula (4) is updated in formula (5), can is in the hope of the expression formula of VHIGH:
V HIGH = V store + ( V ref - V data ) C 1 - ( V H - V L ) C 2 C 1 + C 2 + C g 2 . . . . . . ( 6 )
= V OVERDRIVE + V TH 2 + V OLED
Wherein, V oVERDRIVEhave nothing to do with above-mentioned first threshold voltage and Second Threshold voltage.Can be released by formula (6), in glow phase, the drive current that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through is:
I OLED=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V HIGH-V OLED-V TH2) 2=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V OVERDRIVE) 2……(7)
Can be found by formula (7), in glow phase, the first threshold voltage of the drive current that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through and transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 have nothing to do, namely the unevenness being changed the display caused by these two kinds of element threshold voltages can be compensated, on the other hand, due to above-mentioned drive current I oLEDhave nothing to do with the first threshold voltage of transistor seconds 25, then can compensate because TFT device adopts polycrystalline silicon material to make and cause the threshold voltage V of panel TFT device everywhere tHunevenness, ensure that the homogeneity of the display on display panel.
On the whole, the work of display device is divided into data input phase and glow phase, and wherein data input phase is divided into again data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage.Pixel was controlled to be in opening by sweep trace 57 in the data input selection stage, and the bias current that being coupled to, the bias current line 54 of bias current sources 47 provides flows through image element circuit 56, and produces corresponding reference voltage at memory node 28.This stage Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 can be luminous due to flowing through of bias current.In the data input non-selection stage, because the variation of sweep trace 57 negative sense makes image element circuit 56 be in closed condition, Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 can not be luminous.In glow phase, data line 55 provides a high reference potential, bias current line 54 is also coupled on voltage source 45, on display panel, all image element circuits 56 all start conducting, and the size of current of conducting is relevant to the data voltage that the data input selection stage inputs, the Second Threshold voltage of the drive current namely on Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 and the first threshold voltage of transistor seconds 25 and Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 has nothing to do, and relevant with half-tone information.On average, the average effect of the overall brightness of the display panel light that to be Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 send in data input selection stage and glow phase.

As shown in Figure 7, the time that whole sweep signal scans a frame is divided into data input phase and glow phase.Wherein at data input phase, the image element circuit 56 of often going is divided into again data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage.When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is high, then image element circuit 56 is in the data input selection stage; When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is low, then image element circuit 56 is in the data input non-selection stage.
In the data input selection stage, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 is coupled in bias current sources 47, and provides a constant bias current.When the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 becomes high level, the first transistor 24 is in conducting state, makes image element circuit 56 be in the data input selection stage.Now, control line 64 is low level, and the bias current in bias current line 54 charges to memory node 68 by the first transistor 24, and therefore the current potential of memory node 68 can slowly raise.Memory node 68 is coupled to, so transistor seconds 25 can become conducting state from cut-off state gradually because of the rising of memory node 68 current potential because second of transistor seconds 25 controls pole.After transistor seconds 25 conducting, the bias current in bias current line 54 partly will flow through the 3rd electrode and the 4th electrode of transistor seconds 25, and this size of current flowing through transistor seconds 25 can still be represented by above-mentioned formula (2).
By formula (2), can find out, the electric current flowing through transistor seconds 25 increases with the current potential rising of memory node 68.Finally, I is worked as dS2when equaling bias current, bias current is set up completely in image element circuit 56, now the current potential V of memory node 68 storecan by above-mentioned formula (3) similar expression.
Can be found by (3), now the current potential of memory node 68 contains the first threshold information of voltage of transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold information of voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.
It should be noted that in the data input selection stage, data line 55 can synchronously provide the data voltage representing half-tone information, i.e. half-tone information, and setting its magnitude of voltage is herein V data.This data voltage V datawith the storage voltage V of memory node 68 store, be stored in the first electric capacity 27 two ends respectively, then the voltage difference on the first electric capacity 27 is: V data-V store.
At the end of the data input selection stage, the data input non-selection stage is when starting, sweep trace 57 becomes low level from high level, thus make the first transistor 24 become cut-off state from conducting state, the level of control line 64 becomes height from low simultaneously, makes transistor seconds 25 and Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 also all be in and remain on cut-off state.
In the data input non-selection stage, the first transistor 24 and transistor seconds 25 are all in cut-off state, and bias current line 54 and data line 55 provide difference bias current for other pixels and characterize the data voltage of half-tone information.It should be noted that, in this process, the level change of data line 55 may be coupled to memory node 68 by the first electric capacity 27, and the current potential of memory node 68 is raised, therefore, the high level of control line 64 is enough high to guarantee that the second crystal 25 is in the non-selection stage not conducting of data input.
At above-mentioned data input phase, all pixels enter data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage line by line, and the same time only has one-row pixels to be in the data input selection stage, and at this moment above-mentioned first threshold information of voltage, Second Threshold information of voltage and half-tone information are stored in the memory node 68 of pixel as reference voltage.
After data input phase, it is and then glow phase.In glow phase, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 disconnects the connection with bias current sources 47, and be coupled on a voltage source 45, this voltage source 45 provides constant supply voltage for all image element circuits be coupled with bias current line 54, makes transistor seconds 25 provide a drive current for Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.All control lines 64 also become low level again.Now, data line 55 also provides a reference potential, and this magnitude of voltage is V ref.On data line 55, the variation of current potential can be coupled in memory node 68 by the first electric capacity 27, and the current potential of memory node 68 is become:
V HIGH = V store + ( V ref - V data ) × C 1 C g 2 + C 1
= 2 I BIAS L μ n C ox W + ( V ref - V data ) × C 1 C g 2 + C 1 + V OLED + V TH 2 . . . . . . ( 8 )
= V OVERDRIVE + V OLED + V TH 2
C g2for the gate capacitance of transistor seconds 25, V oVERDRIVEbe the overdrive voltage of transistor seconds 25, the first threshold voltage of its value and transistor seconds 25 or the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 have nothing to do.
Can be released by formula (8), in glow phase, the drive current that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through is:
I OLED=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V HIGH-V OLED-V TH2) 2=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V OVERDRIVE) 2......(9)
By formula (9), can find, in glow phase, the first threshold voltage of the drive current that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through and transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 have nothing to do, namely the unevenness being changed the display caused by these two kinds of element threshold voltages can be compensated, on the other hand, due to above-mentioned drive current I oLEDhave nothing to do with the first threshold voltage of transistor seconds 25, then can compensate because TFT device adopts polycrystalline silicon material to make and cause the threshold voltage V of panel TFT device everywhere tHunevenness, ensure that the homogeneity of the display on display panel.
The present embodiment owing to eliminating the second electric capacity 26 relative to embodiment one, further reduces elemental area, adds pixel aperture ratio.

Please refer to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, mainly be with the difference of embodiment one, in display device, as shown in Figure 8, data drive circuit 53 also comprises by analog-digital converter 104, input buffer 103, exterior storage 105, totalizer 106, the data voltage source that digital analog converter 107 and output buffer 108 form, wherein, analog-digital converter 104 is coupled to the output terminal of bias current sources 47 by input buffer 103, and complete and being coupled and disconnection of bias current line 54 by gate-controlled switch 411, above-mentioned each device function carries out correspondence and describes in following display driver process.As shown in Figure 9, image element circuit 56 mainly comprises: an Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 is as light-emitting component, second electric capacity 26, first electric capacity 27, be provided with the first control pole, the first electrode and the second electrode the first transistor 24 as switch control module, and be provided with the second control pole, the 3rd electrode and the 4th electrode transistor seconds 25 as driver module, for simplicity, set a memory node 88(i.e. first end of the first electric capacity 27 here).First controls pole is coupled to sweep trace 57, and the first electrode coupling is to bias current line 54, and bias current line 54 can switch between bias current sources 47, output buffer 108 and voltage source 45 due to the action of gate-controlled switch 411; Second controls pole is coupled to the second electrode, 3rd electrode coupling is to bias current line 54,4th electrode coupling is to the anode of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29, and the bias current that bias current sources 47 provides can trigger the first transistor 24 and the first threshold information of voltage of transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold information of voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 are stored to the first electric capacity 27 and exterior storage 105 by transistor seconds 25; The first end of the first electric capacity 27 is coupled to the second electrode, and the second end is coupled to common node 83, and common node 83 switches between common node current potential and reference potential, and the 3rd end of the second electric capacity 26 is coupled to sweep trace 57, and the 4th end is coupled to the second electrode; The negative electrode of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 is coupled to ground wire.Common node 83 can be the node that a line or all row of whole display panel are shared.
In Fig. 8, exterior storage 105 and totalizer 106 grade can be separately set in outside data drive circuit 53, form the function element that can share.
Please refer to Figure 10, Figure 10 display be a kind of signal timing diagram of image element circuit 56 shown in Fig. 9, wherein SCAN [1] sweep signal that is the first row pixel, by that analogy.A kind of display driver process of image element circuit 56 shown in Fig. 9 is specifically described, i.e. the display drive method of the embodiment of the present application three below in conjunction with Fig. 8 and Figure 10.
Shown in Fig. 8 and Figure 10 is a kind of driving method adopting external compensation, this type of drive is main first will need the threshold voltage information of driver module and the light-emitting component compensated extract and be stored in exterior storage with the form of digital signal, when input gray level information, then stored threshold voltage information and half-tone information are superposed the compensate function realizing threshold voltage together.Can be known by Figure 10, the whole driving process of external compensation can be carried out in both modes: one is that threshold value extracts pattern, and one is normal light-emitting mode.Wherein threshold value extraction pattern can perform once when display device switching on and shutting down, and all the other times are all operated in light-emitting mode; Or perform when display device switching on and shutting down once, in ensuing light-emitting mode, every a frame or a few frame time, the extraction of threshold voltage information is carried out to the pixel of certain a line, to refresh its threshold voltage information in exterior storage in real time.
In threshold value extraction pattern, the course of work of image element circuit 56 is divided into threshold value to extract the choice phase and threshold value extracts the non-selection stage.When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is high, then image element circuit 56 is in threshold value and extracts the choice phase; When the level of the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 is low, then image element circuit 56 is in threshold value and extracts the non-selection stage.
Extract the choice phase in threshold value, because bus 401 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 is coupled in bias current sources 47, and provides a constant bias current.When the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 becomes high level, the first transistor 24 is in conducting state, makes image element circuit 56 be in threshold value and extracts the choice phase.Now, the bias current in bias current line 54 charges to the first electric capacity 27 by the first transistor 24, and therefore the current potential of memory node 88 can slowly raise.Memory node 88 is coupled to, so transistor seconds 25 can become conducting state from cut-off state gradually because of the rising of memory node 88 current potential because second of transistor seconds 25 controls pole.After transistor seconds 25 conducting, the bias current in bias current line 54 partly will flow through the 3rd electrode and the 4th electrode of transistor seconds 25, and this size of current flowing through transistor seconds 25 can be represented by above-mentioned formula (2).As can be seen from formula (2), the electric current flowing through transistor seconds 25 increases with the current potential rising of memory node 88.Finally, I is worked as dS2when equaling bias current, bias current is set up completely in image element circuit 56, now the current potential V of memory node 88 storecan be represented by above-mentioned formula (3), current potential V storecontain above-mentioned first threshold information of voltage and Second Threshold information of voltage.
Can be found by (3), now the current potential of memory node 88 contains the first threshold information of voltage of transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold information of voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29.Because the voltage on memory node 88 is identical with the magnitude of voltage in bias current line 54, so information of voltage V in the analog-digital converter 104 meeting sample-offset current line 54 be now coupled with bias current line 54 storeand convert thereof into digital signal and be input in exterior storage 105.
Terminate in the threshold value extraction choice phase, when the threshold value extraction non-selection stage starts, the level of sweep trace 57 becomes low level from high level.This change in voltage not only makes the first transistor 24 become cut-off state from conducting state, also be coupled to memory node 88 by the second electric capacity 26, make the current potential of memory node 88 become the first negative potential, transistor seconds 25 entered and remain off state in the data input non-selection stage.
Extract the non-selection stage in threshold value, the first transistor 24 and transistor seconds 25 are all in cut-off state, and bias current line 54 provides bias current for other image element circuits 56.Under threshold value extraction pattern, all pixels enter threshold value line by line and extract choice phase and threshold value extraction non-selection stage, and the first threshold information of voltage on memory node 88 and Second Threshold information of voltage are stored in storage chip 105.
Driving process in light-emitting mode is divided into data input phase and glow phase.At data input phase, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 disconnects the connection with bias current sources 47, and is coupled on digital analog converter 107 by output buffer 108, and for exporting a driving voltage, its driving voltage value is V drive.Because the half-tone information from bus 410 superposes with the storage voltage in exterior storage 105 by totalizer 106 in advance, driving voltage V drivethen can be included in the information of voltage V under threshold value extraction pattern storewith the data voltage V representing half-tone information data.When the sweep trace 57 be coupled with image element circuit 56 becomes high level, the first transistor 24 is in conducting state, makes image element circuit 56 be in the data input selection stage.Now, the driving voltage V in bias current line 54 drivebe input in memory node 88 by the first transistor 24.
Now, the quantity of electric charge of memory node 88 can be expressed as:
Q A=(V drive-V 0)C1+(V drive-V H)C2+(V drive-V OLED-V th2)C g2……(10)
Wherein, V hfor the level value of data input selection stage sweep signal, V 0the magnitude of voltage of data input phase common node, C g2for the gate capacitance of transistor seconds, C1 and C2 is respectively the capacitance of the first electric capacity 26 and the second electric capacity 27.
Terminate in the data input selection stage, the data input non-selection stage is when starting, sweep trace 57 becomes low level from high level, this change in voltage not only makes the first transistor 24 become cut-off state from conducting state, also be coupled to memory node 88 by the second electric capacity 26, make the current potential of memory node 88 become the second negative potential, transistor seconds 25 entered and remain off state in the data input non-selection stage.
In the data input non-selection stage, the first transistor 24 and transistor seconds 25 are all in cut-off state, and bias current line 54 provides driving voltage for other pixels.
At above-mentioned data input phase, all pixels enter data input selection stage and data input non-selection stage line by line, and the first threshold information of voltage of transistor seconds 25, the Second Threshold information of voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 and half-tone information are stored in the memory node 88 of each pixel as reference voltage.At data input phase, common node 83 remains a constant potential V always 0.
After data input phase, it is and then glow phase.In glow phase, because bus 410 controls gate-controlled switch 411, bias current line 54 disconnects and the connection of output buffer 108, and is coupled on voltage source 45, and this voltage source 45 provides constant supply voltage for all image element circuits be coupled with bias current line 54.Now the current potential of common node 83 is also by original constant potential V 0become reference potential, the magnitude of voltage of reference potential is V ref.On common node 83, the variation of current potential can be coupled in memory node 88 by the first electric capacity 27, makes the current potential of memory node 88 become V hIGH.Should be noted that a bit, in data input non-selection stage and glow phase, memory node 88 is in suspended state, and the quantity of electric charge wherein does not change.It can be expressed as in glow phase:
Q A=(V HIGH-V L)C2+(V HIGH-V ref)C1+(V HIGH-V OLED-V TH2)C g2……(11)
Wherein, V lit is the magnitude of voltage of the non-selection stage sweep signal of data input.Formula (10) is updated in formula (11), can in the hope of V hIGHexpression formula be:
V HIGH = V dirve + ( V ref - V 0 ) C 1 - ( V H - V L ) C 2 C 1 + C 2 + C g 2
= V data + ( V ref - V 0 ) C 1 - ( V H - V L ) C 2 C 1 + C 2 + C g 2 + V store . . . . . . ( 12 )
= V OVERDRIVE + V TH 2 + V OLED
Wherein, V oVERDRIVEbe the overdrive voltage of transistor seconds 25, the first threshold voltage of its value and transistor seconds 25 or the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 have nothing to do.
Can be released by formula (12), in glow phase, the electric current that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through is:
I OLED=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V HIGH-V OLED-V TH2) 2=1/2μ nC oxW/L(V OVERDRIVE) 2……(13)
By formula (13), can find, in glow phase, the electric current I that Organic Light Emitting Diode 29 flows through oLEDhave nothing to do with the first threshold voltage of transistor seconds 25 and the Second Threshold voltage of Organic Light Emitting Diode 29, namely can compensate the unevenness being changed the display caused by these two kinds of element threshold voltages, on the other hand, due to above-mentioned drive current I oLEDhave nothing to do with the first threshold voltage of transistor seconds 25, then can compensate because TFT device adopts polycrystalline silicon material to make and cause the threshold voltage V of panel TFT device everywhere tHunevenness, ensure that the homogeneity of the display on display panel.
The advantage of the present embodiment three is, for embodiment one, two, due to by adopting external compensation mode, only need perform a subthreshold when starting shooting and extracting pattern, under display device all can be operated in light-emitting mode in other times; And in data writing process (the data input phase namely under light-emitting mode), do not need bias current, and directly adopt driving voltage to load on memory node 88 by above-mentioned first threshold information of voltage, Second Threshold information of voltage and half-tone information, adopt voltage-programming mode greatly can reduce the time of data write, thus increase frame proportion shared by fluorescent lifetime.Image element circuit be may be used for more in high resolving power or more large-area display device.In addition, adopt the mode of external compensation to simplify dot structure, reduce the number of control line.
Embodiment four:

It should be noted that:
1, in other embodiments of display device, in the above-mentioned data input selection stage, the voltage in the voltage on memory node and bias current line 54 is identical, and the voltage that this voltage ratio voltage source 45 provides is much smaller.Therefore, come interim at a new frame, current potential in bias current line 54 just needs to be quickly pulled low to set up above-mentioned bias current, in order to accelerate this process, can arrange a precharge power supply 46 for each row, bias current sources 47, voltage source 45, precharge power supply 46 are coupled with bias current line 54 by gate-controlled switch 411.As shown in figure 12, the voltage V of this precharge power supply 46 prefor:
V pre = 2 I BIAS L μ n C ox W + V OLED 0 + V TH 20 . . . . . . ( 14 )
Here, V tH20and V oLED0the initial threshold of transistor seconds and the initial bias current potential of Organic Light Emitting Diode respectively.Precharge power supply 46 only needs to be connected to the time very short in bias current line 54 when frame is initial, just electric charge unnecessary in bias current line 54 can be bled off.
2, above-mentioned data drive circuit can be on a display panel integrated, also in integrated peripheral IC chip, then can fit on display panel.
Although 3 image element circuits 56 have employed Organic Light Emitting Diode as light-emitting component, in a further embodiment, other light emitting diodes also can be adopted as light-emitting component.
4, in embodiment one and embodiment three, the second electric capacity 26 can be realized by the increase control pole of the first transistor and the overlapping area of the second electrode, also can make independent electric capacity original paper.
5, in each embodiment of the application, transistor can be made up of oxide thin film transistor, also can be made up of polysilicon or amorphous silicon film transistor.
6, in other embodiments, sequential control circuit also can not be integrated in bus, and provides half-tone information primarily of bus, and sequential control circuit controls gate-controlled switch separately.
The each embodiment of the application adopts two TFT devices to build image element circuit, and its circuit structure is simple, not only can compensate the threshold voltage shift of TFT device, also can compensate the threshold drift of OLED 7, ensure that the homogeneity of display.In addition, in prior art, when the threshold voltage of TFT device becomes negative value, traditional voltage-type threshold compensation circuitry just cannot reoffer compensation, and adopt current offset mode to align negative threshold voltage in each embodiment of the application to have good compensating action, therefore have more superior effect, this point is very favourable in employing depletion mode transistor is as the display device of driving tube.
Above content is the further description done the application in conjunction with concrete embodiment, can not assert that the concrete enforcement of the application is confined to these explanations.For the application person of an ordinary skill in the technical field, under the prerequisite not departing from the application's design, some simple deduction or replace can also be made.
