Active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED), compared to traditional passive drive Organic Light Emitting Diode (PMOLED), having quick response time, contrast is high, the advantages such as visible angle is big, have become the contenders in Display Technique field of future generation in recent years.
Light emitting pixel structure most basic for AMOLED is 2T1C structure, and it is made up of switch transistors pipe T1, driving transistor T2, electric capacity C1 and Organic Light Emitting Diode D1, as shown in Figure 1.The grid of described switch transistors pipe T1 connects scanning signal Vscan, and drain electrode connects data signal Vdata, and source electrode connects first pole of grid and the described electric capacity C1 driving transistor T2;The source electrode of described driving transistor T2 connects second pole of described electric capacity C1 and is connected with external power source VDD, and drain electrode connects first pole of described Organic Light Emitting Diode D1, the second pole ground connection of described Organic Light Emitting Diode D1.This structure has maximum relative aperture, and namely in sub-pixel, the ratio of light-emitting area and pixel entire area is maximum, so can so that the luminous efficiency of pixel is the highest.
In the pixel of above-mentioned 2T1C structure, the luminosity of pixel is determined by outside digital signal, after digital analog converter, it is input on data signal Vdata by the form of voltage, when opening switch transistors pipe T1, signal is stored on electric capacity C1, so drives transistor T2 to have fixing gate source voltage when pixel light emission, so flowing through driving transistor T2 and Organic Light Emitting Diode electric current is also just invariable, the luminous intensity of Organic Light Emitting Diode is maintained.Thus pixel can launch the light of different brightness according to different data signal Vdata.For the pixel of above-mentioned 2T1C structure, it drives transistor T2 to be generally adopted PMOS transistor, and the data signal Vdata therefore inputted is more low, and the electric current flowing through Organic Light Emitting Diode D1 is more big, and brightness is more big.
In general, having the index of a relative aperture in AMOLED pixel, it is defined as in pixel light-emitting area than the area of upper pixel, is commonly used to characterize the luminous efficiency of display.And in one pixel, owing to needing to consider the drain conditions of electric capacity, general electric capacity C1 to account for a big chunk area of pixel, usually drive three times of transistor T2, and the area of switch transistors pipe T1 is minimum, therefore whether there is electric capacity in AMOLED pixel can become the key factor of restriction pixel light emission efficiency.Owing to the capacity area of tradition 2T1C dot structure is about 3 times that drive transistor T2 area, therefore, the relative aperture of tradition 2T1C dot structure is:
a p e r t u r e r a t i o = A D A D + A T 1 + A T 2 + A C 1 ≈ A D A D + A T 1 + 4 A T 2
Wherein, ADFor the area of Organic Light Emitting Diode, AT1For the area of switch transistors pipe, AT2For driving the area of transistor, AC1Area for electric capacity, it is seen then that the relative aperture of tradition 2T1C pixel-driving circuit is less, has a strong impact on the raising of luminous efficiency.
