Specifically, during the first time period t1 of initial phase is arranged to, the second scan control line Sn2 and the 3rd is swept Control line Sn3 access low level signals are retouched, now, the 4th transistor M4 and the 6th transistor M6 conductings, so as to second source ELVSS voltage is provided to first node N1, and first node N1 current potentials are dragged down, that is, passes through the 4th transistor M4, the 6th crystalline substance Body pipe M6 and Organic Light Emitting Diode 54 are initialized to third transistor M3 grid.
Then, during the second time period t2 of data write phase is arranged to, the second scan control line Sn2 continues to access Low level signal, now, second transistor M2 and the 4th transistor M4 respond the low level letter that the second scan control line Sn2 is accessed Number and turn on.Third transistor M3 conductings are made (here, equivalent to one two poles of third transistor M3 by the 4th transistor M4 Pipe).Because first node N1 is initialised during first time period t1, so third transistor M3 is positive as diode Connection.Thus, by by second transistor M2, third transistor M3 and the 4th transistor the M4 corresponding voltages of data-signal Vm It is stored in capacitor Cs.
Here, third transistor M3 is in response to being supplied to the third transistor M3 corresponding voltage of threshold voltage to be stored in electricity In container Cs, so being compensated during second time period t2 for third transistor M3 threshold voltage.
Then, during the 3rd time period t 3 of glow phase is arranged to, the 3rd scan control line Sn3 accesses signal by height Level transition is to low level.Then, the 5th transistor M5 is led by responding the 3rd scan control line Sn3 low level signal It is logical.Thus, driving current along the first power supply ELVDD by the 5th transistor M5, third transistor M3, the 6th transistor M6, have The path of machine Light-Emitting Diode 54 flows to second source ELVSS, i.e. Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) 54 is luminous.
Wherein, flowing through the electric current of organic light emitting diode 54 can approximately be expressed as:
IOLED=1/2*K* [Vsg- | Vth |] ^2
=1/2*K* [Vdd- (Vdata- | Vth |)-| Vth |] ^2
=1/2*K* [Vdd-Vdata] ^2
Wherein, K is coefficient, and Vsg represents the gate source voltage of driving transistor, and Vth represents the threshold voltage of driving transistor, Vdd represents the first power supply ELVDD voltages, and Vdata represents data-signal Vm voltages.It is visible according to above-mentioned formula, the present embodiment The influence of the luminous threshold voltage for being not driven transistor of organic light emitting diode 54.
Here, high level scan control signal is being supplied to the 3rd scan control line Sn3 period, the 6th transistor M6 ends, so as to prevent driving current to be provided to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) 54.In addition, it is connected with capacitor Cs Leakage current paths there was only one, so as to reduce leakage current.
As fully visible, the grid of third transistor is initialized by initialization unit;By data write unit by number It is believed that number corresponding to voltage store to capacitor;Realize that organic light emitting diode lights by luminous controling unit, thus avoid Influence of the difference of leakage current or threshold voltage to capacitor, so that AMOLED display device brightness uniformity. Further, by reducing voltage source, AMOLED pixel cells are simplified.
