Description

用于OLED显示设备的像素驱动电路
技术领域
本发明属于显示技术领域,具体地讲,涉及一种用于OLED显示设备的像素驱动电路。
背景技术
近年来,有机发光二极管(Organic Light-Emitting Diode,OLED)显示设备成为国内外非常热门的新兴平面显示设备产品,这是因为OLED显示设备具有自发光、广视角、短反应时间、高发光效率、广色域、低工作电压、薄厚度、可制作大尺寸与可挠曲的显示设备及制程简单等特性,而且它还具有低成本的潜力。
在OLED显示设备中,通常利用薄膜晶体管(TFT)搭配电容存储信号来控制OLED的亮度灰阶表现。为了达到定电流驱动的目的,每个像素至少需要两个TFT和一个储存电容来构成,即2T1C模式。图1是现有的OLED显示设备的像素驱动电路的电路图。参照图1,现有的OLED显示设备的像素驱动电路包括两个薄膜晶体管(TFT)和一个电容器,具体地,包括一个开关TFT T1、一个驱动TFT T2和一个存储电容器Cst。OLED的驱动电流由驱动TFT T2控制,其电流大小为:IOLED=k(Vgs-Vth)2,其中,k为驱动TFT T2的本征导电因子,由驱动TFT T2本身特性决定,Vth为驱动TFT T2的阈值电压,Vgs为驱动TFT T2的栅极和源极之间的电压。由于长时间的操作,驱动TFT T2的阈值电压Vth会发生漂移,因此会导致OLED的驱动电流变化,从而使得OLED显示设备出现显示不良,进而影响显示画面的质量。

具体地,第一薄膜晶体管T1、第二薄膜晶体管T2、第三薄膜晶体管T3及第四薄膜晶体管T4均为低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管、氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管或非晶硅薄膜晶体管。
第一扫描信号Scan1、第二扫描信号Scan2、第三扫描信号Scan2、初始化信号INI、第一数据信号DATA1及所述原始数据信号均通过外部时序控制器(未示出)产生。
以下将对根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在关机或者开机时的工作原理进行详细描述。在本实施例中,采用了4T2C像素结构的根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在关机或者开机时执行复位操作(即复位阶段)、阈值电压感测操作(即阈值电压感测阶段)和开启电压感测操作(即开启电压感测阶段)。图4是根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在关机或开机时的各工作阶段的时序图;图5A至图5C是根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在关机或开机时的工作过程图。在图5A至图5C中,薄膜晶体管上的叉符号(×)表示该薄膜晶体管处于截止状态。
在复位阶段,参照图4和图5A,第一扫描信号Scan1为低电位,第二扫描信号Scan2和第三扫描信号Scan3为高电位,第一数据信号DATA1为低电位VA,第四薄膜晶体管T4的源极接入初始化信号INI,第一初始化信号INI为低电位Vini;此时,第三薄膜晶体管T3截止,而第二薄膜晶体管T2和第四薄膜晶体管T4均导通,第一节点a的电压Va=VA,第二节点b的电压Vb=Vini,使Vini=VA,从而完成初始化。
在阈值电压感测阶段,参照图4和图5B,第一扫描信号Scan1为低电位,第二扫描信号Scan2和第三扫描信号Scan3均为高电位,第一数据信号DATA1为低电位VA,第四薄膜晶体管T4的源极接入电压探测器400;此时,第三薄膜晶体管T3截止,而第二薄膜晶体管T2和第四薄膜晶体管T4均导通,第一节点a的电压Va=VA,第二节点b的电压Vb=VA-Vth,从而电压探测器400探测到的电压为VA-Vth,其中Vth为第一薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压。进一步地,电压探测器400经由其内部的计算,例如利用电压VA减去其探测到的电压,从而得到阈值电压Vth。之后,电压探测器400将其得到的阈值电压Vth进行反馈,并反馈给原始数据信号,具体将在下面描述。
在开启电压感测阶段,参照图4和图5C,第二扫描信号Scan2为低电位,第一扫描信号Scan1和第三扫描信号Scan3均为高电位,第四薄膜晶体管T4的源极接入电压探测器400;此时,第二薄膜晶体管T2截止,而第三薄膜晶体管T3和第四薄膜晶体管T4均导通,有机发光二极管OLED发光,第二节点b的电压Vb=Voled,其中Voled为有机发光二极管OLED的开启电压,从而电压探测器400探测到的电压为Voled。进一步地,电压探测器400经由其内部的计算,例如利用探测到电压Voled减去参考信号的电压Vref和阈值电压Vth,或者利用探测到的电压Voled减去在OLED显示设备正常工作时进行初始化操作时得到的有机发光二极管的开启电压(即在下面的复位阶段获取的第二节点b的电压),从而得到开启电压补偿信号的电压ΔVoled。
以下将对根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在正常工作显示时的工作原理进行详细描述。在本实施例中,采用了4T2C像素结构的根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在正常工作显示时执行复位操作(即复位阶段)、阈值电压检测操作(即阈值电压件测阶段)、阈值电压补偿操作(即阈值电压补偿阶段)及驱动发光操作(即驱动发光阶段)。图6是根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在正常工作显示时的各工作阶段的时序图;图7A至图7D是根据本发明的实施例的像素驱动电路在正常工作显示时的工作过程图。在图7A至图7D中,薄膜晶体管上的叉符号(×)表示该薄膜晶体管处于截止状态。
在复位阶段,参照图6和图7A,第一扫描信号Scan1和第二扫描信号Scan2为高电位,第三扫描信号Scan3为低电位,第二数据信号DATA2为低电位Vref的参考信号、电压为ΔVoled的开启电压补偿信号与电压为Vth的阈值电压信号之和;此时,第四薄膜晶体管T4截止,第二薄膜晶体管T2与第三薄膜晶体管T3导通,第二数据信号DATA2经第二薄膜晶体管T2写入第一节点a(即第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极),第二节点b的电压Vb为有机发光二极管OLED的开启电压Voled,有机发光二极管OLED发光。
在该复位阶段中:
Vg=Va=Vref+Vth+ΔVoled
Vs=Vb=Voled
其中,Vg表示第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电位,Va表示第一节点a的电位,Vs表示第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极电位,Vb表示第二节点b的电位,Voled为有机发光二极管OLED的开启电压,Vth表示第一薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压,ΔVoled为开启电压补偿信号的电压。
在阈值电压检测阶段,参照图6和图7B,第一扫描信号Scan1和第三扫描信号为低电位,第二扫描信号Scan2为高电位,第二数据信号DATA2为低电位Vref的参考信号、电压为ΔVoled的开启电压补偿信号与电压为Vth的阈值电压信号之和;此时,第二薄膜晶体管T2导通,而第三薄膜晶体管T3和第四薄膜晶体管T4截止,第一节点a即第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极依然写入第二数据信号DATA2,第二节点b即第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极电位转变为Vref+ΔVoled。
在该阈值电压检测阶段中:
Vg=Va=Vref+Vth+ΔVoled
Vs=Vb=Vref+ΔVoled
在阈值电压补偿阶段,参照图6和图7C,第一扫描信号Scan1和第三扫描信号Scan3为低电位,第二扫描信号Scan2为高电位,第二数据信号DATA2为高电位为Vdata的显示数据信号、电压为ΔVoled的开启电压补偿信号与电压为Vth的阈值电压信号之和;此时,第三薄膜晶体管T3与第四薄膜晶体管T4截止,第二薄膜晶体管T2导通,第二数据信号DATA2经过第二薄膜晶体管T2向写入第一节点a即第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极,第二节点b即第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极电位转变为Vref+ΔVoled+ΔV,ΔV为显示数据信号高电位Vdata对第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极电位即第二节点b的电位所产生的影响,其与第一薄膜晶体管的阈值电压Vth无关。
在该阈值电压补偿阶段中:
Vg=Va=Vdata+Vth+ΔVoled
Vs=Vb=Vref+ΔV+ΔVoled
这样,第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电压Vg与源极电压Vs之间的差值Vgs为:
Vgs=Vg-Vs=Vdata+Vth-Vref-ΔV
在驱动发光阶段,参照图6和图7D,第一扫描信号Scan1为高电位,第二扫描信号Scan2和第三扫描信号Scan3为低电位,第二数据信号DATA2为低电位Vref的参考信号、电压为ΔVoled的开启电压补偿信号与电压为Vth的阈值电压信号之和;此时,第二薄膜晶体管T2和第三薄膜晶体管T3导通,第四薄膜晶体管T4截止,第一节点a即第一薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电位与第二节点b即第一薄膜晶体管T1的源极电位之间的压差Vgs保持不变。
进一步地,流经有机发光二极管OLED的电流I表示为:
I=K(Vgs-Vth)2=K(Vdate-Vref-ΔV+Vth-Vth)2=K(Vdate-Vref-ΔV)2
其中,K表示第一薄膜晶体管T1的本征导电因子,由第一薄膜晶体管T1本身特性决定。
因此,在流经有机发光二极管OLED的电流I的表达式中,电流I与第一薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压Vth无关,这样可以消除第一薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压Vth漂移引起的画面显示不良现象。
虽然已经参照特定实施例示出并描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将理解:在不脱离由权利要求及其等同物限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可在此进行形式和细节上的各种变化。
