In order to realize said process, as an example, control unit can include first switch unit and second switch unit. Wherein, first switch unit and second switch unit can be channel type identical thin film transistor (TFT).Specifically it may refer to figure 3, it illustrates a kind of structural representation of embodiment of control unit.
As shown in figure 3, control unit S1 includes first switch unit T1 and second switch unit T2.Herein, for reality The output of existing first signal, first switch unit T1 and second switch unit T2 can be the p-type film crystal shown in figure Pipe, can also be N-type TFT.Wherein, first switch unit T1 and second switch unit T2 grid pass through Two input B electrically connect with scan line.And first switch unit T1 source electrode is electrically connected by first input end A with data wire.

So, when the control signal that scan line is transmitted is low level signal, thin film transistor (TFT) T1, film can be made brilliant Body pipe T2 source electrode turns on drain electrode, so as to so that the first letter that control unit S1 output end C output data lines are transmitted Number.It is understood that as long as control signal now meets the threshold value electricity of thin film transistor (TFT) T1 and thin film transistor (TFT) T2 conductings Pressure.And in order to save the energy, the relatively small thin film transistor (TFT) of threshold voltage can be selected here as thin film transistor (TFT) T1 and thin film transistor (TFT) T2.
With continued reference to Fig. 4, the structural representation of another embodiment of the pixel-driving circuit provided it illustrates the application Figure.It is that the pixel-driving circuit in the present embodiment equally includes control unit S1, transmission unit S2 with Fig. 2 embodiment identicals With feedback unit S3.And control unit S1 first input end A electrically connects with data wire L1, the second input B and scan line L2 Electrical connection, output end C electrically connect with transmission unit S2.Transmission unit S2 output end E and Pixel and feedback unit S3 is electrically connected Connect.Feedback unit S3 output end G then electrically connects with transmission unit S2.
Unlike Fig. 2 embodiments, pixel-driving circuit in the present embodiment can also include the first signal wire L3 and Secondary signal line L4, it is respectively used to transmit the first electric potential signal and the second electric potential signal.
Figure 4, it is seen that transmission unit S2 input can include the 3rd input D1, the 4th input D2 and 5th input D3.Wherein, the 3rd input D1 electrically connects with control unit S1 output end C;4th input D2 and the 5th Input D3 electrically connects with the first signal wire L3 and secondary signal line L4 respectively.So, the first signal exported in output end C Control under, transmission unit S2 output end E can export the first electric potential signal or the second letter that the first signal wire L3 is transmitted The second electric potential signal that number line L4 is transmitted, so as to provide the first electric potential signal or the second electric potential signal to Pixel.
In the present embodiment, feedback unit S3 input can also include multiple inputs, such as the 6th input F1, the Seven input F2 and the 8th input F3.Wherein, the 6th input F1 can electrically connect with transmission unit S2 output end E;The Seven input F2 and the 8th input F3 electrically connect with the first signal wire L3 and secondary signal line L4 respectively.So, in output end E Under the control of the first electric potential signal or the second electric potential signal that are exported, feedback unit S3 output end G can export feedback letter Number.Herein, feedback signal can be the first electric potential signal or the second electric potential signal, and with the pole of the signal of transmission unit output Property is opposite.Such as output end E outputs be+15 volts the first electric potential signal, then the feedback signal of output end G outputs can be with It is the second electric potential signal of -15 volts.It is pointed out that the first electric potential signal and the usual (but not limited to) of the second electric potential signal are Amplitude is identical, opposite polarity level signal.
In the present embodiment, the first electric potential signal and the second electric potential signal both can as the output signal of a certain unit, The control signal of a certain unit can be multiplexed with again, can so reduce the quantity of electronic component, and then reduces pixel driver electricity The spatial area taken needed for road, reduce production cost.
Alternatively, in order to realize said process, feedback unit can have structure as shown in Figure 5.In Figure 5, feed back Cell S 3 can include the 3rd switch element T3 and the 4th switch element T4.Wherein, the switches of the 3rd switch element T3 and the 4th are single First T4 is the opposite thin film transistor (TFT) of channel type, such as the 3rd switch element T3 is N-type TFT, the 4th switch element T4 is P-type TFT.Now, the 3rd switch element T3 and the 4th switch element T4 grid can pass through the 6th input End F1 electrically connects with the output end of transmission unit.3rd switch element T3 source electrode passes through the 7th input F2 and the first signal wire Electrical connection.4th switch element T4 source electrode is electrically connected by the 8th input F3 with secondary signal line.And the 3rd switch element T3 and the 4th switch element T4 drain electrode are electrically connected by output end G with transmission unit.
As an example, transmission unit can have structure as shown in Figure 6.In figure 6, transmission unit S2 can be wrapped at least Include the first subelement.Here the first subelement includes the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th switch element T6.Wherein, the 5th switch Unit T5 and the 6th switch element T6 are the opposite thin film transistor (TFT) of channel type, and the 5th switch element T5 with the 3rd switch singly Member has identical channel type.Such as the 3rd switch element be N-type TFT, then the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th Switch element T6 is respectively N-type and P-type TFT.
As can be seen from Figure 6, the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th switch element T6 grid can pass through the 3rd input D1 Electrically connected with the output end of control unit.And the 5th switch element T5 source electrode pass through the 4th input D2 and the first signal wire electricity Connection.6th switch element T6 source electrode is electrically connected by the 5th input D3 with secondary signal line.
Alternatively, the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th switch element T6 drain electrode can electrically connect with output end E.Also It is to say, the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th switch element T6 drain electrode pass through output end E and the 6th input of feedback unit Electrical connection.Now, in order to realize the latch to the transmission unit S2 signals exported, the 3rd switch element in feedback unit and The drain electrode of 4th switch element can be electrically connected with transmission unit S2 the 3rd input D1.
Now, the concrete structure of pixel-driving circuit can be as shown in Figure 7.From figure 7 it can be seen that pixel-driving circuit bag Include control unit S1, transmission unit S2, feedback unit S3, data wire L1, scan line L2, the first signal wire L3 and secondary signal line L4.Control unit S1, transmission unit S2 can be related to Fig. 5's referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 6 respectively to feedback unit S3 concrete structure Description, here is omitted.
In the figure 7, second switch unit T2 drain electrode and the 5th switch element T5 grid, the 6th switch element T6 grid Pole electrically connects.And the 5th switch element T5 and the 6th switch element T6 drain electrode with Pixel, the 3rd switch element T3 grid Pole, the 4th switch element T4 grid electrical connection.Meanwhile the 3rd switch element T3 and the 4th switch element T4 drain electrode with The grid electrical connection of five switch element T5 grid, the 6th switch element T6, P points as shown in Figure 7.It is understood that In order to further save the energy, as long as the first signal here meets the threshold value of thin film transistor (TFT) T5 and thin film transistor (TFT) T6 conductings Voltage, without with magnitude of voltage so high in the prior art.
Specifically, if the first signal is low level signal, the source electrode and drain electrode that can make the 6th switch element T6 turn on, and pass Defeated cell S 2 exports the second electric potential signal to Pixel and feedback unit S3 (such as+15 volt DC voltages).And in the second electric potential signal Control under, the 3rd switch element T3 source electrode can be made to be turned on drain electrode, feedback unit S3 is defeated to transmission unit S2 (i.e. P points) Go out the first electric potential signal (such as -15 volt DC voltages).So, can under the collective effect of the first signal and the first electric potential signal To continue to make the 6th switch element T6 to turn on, i.e., transmission unit S2 continues to output the second electric potential signal.
And when control unit S1 no longer exports the first signal, such as in the stage of holding, scan line L2 stops transmission control Signal, but because the first signal wire L3 continues to transmit the first electric potential signal, secondary signal line L4 continues to transmit the second electric potential signal, So the loop formed between transmission unit S2 and feedback unit S3 is still present.Now, transmission unit S2 can be in feedback letter Number control under continue to output the second electric potential signal.Such iterative cycles, so as to realize the second electricity to transmission unit S2 outputs Position signal is latched.And first electric potential signal provided by the first signal wire L3, the second electric potential signal is carried by secondary signal line L4 For, and it is unrelated with data wire L1, first switch unit T1 and second switch unit T2.So pixel-driving circuit shown in Fig. 7 Now still the first electric potential signal or the second electric potential signal can be exported to Pixel, without by first switch unit T1 and the The influence of two switch element T2 self-characteristic.So as to ensure the effective supply of Pixel current potentials, meets the needs of showing current potential.
Alternatively, transmission unit can also include the second subelement.As shown in figure 8, transmission unit S2 is except including Fig. 6 institutes Outside the first subelement shown, in addition to the second subelement.Wherein, the second subelement includes the switches of the 7th switch element T7 and the 8th Unit T8.Here the 7th switch element T7 and the 8th switch element the T8 thin film transistor (TFT) that to be similarly channel type opposite.And 7th switch element T7 and the 5th switch element T5 have identical channel type.If for example, the 5th switch element T5 is that N-type is thin Film transistor, then the 7th switch element T7 and the 8th switch element T8 is respectively N-type and P-type TFT.
As shown in Figure 8, leakage of the 7th switch element T7 and the 8th switch element T8 grid with the 5th switch element T5 Pole, the 6th switch element T6 drain electrode electrical connection.And the 7th switch element T7 source electrode also by the 4th input D2 and first Signal wire electrically connects.8th switch element T8 source electrode electrically connects also by the 5th input D3 with secondary signal line.Meanwhile the Seven switch element T7 and the 8th switch element T8 drain electrode is electrically connected by output end E with the 6th input of feedback unit.
