In embodiments of the present invention, before the scan period is entered, in the image element circuit, the first scan line S1 is provided Scanning signal can be low level, the scanning signal that the second scan line S2 is provided can be low level, and three scan line S3 is carried The scanning signal of confession can be high level, that is to say, that before the scan period is entered, the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 and institute State the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 and be in cut-off state, the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 is in the conduction state.
Within the scan period, the scanning signal of the different high and low level provided by the scan line in the image element circuit, Control the thin film transistor (TFT) included in the image element circuit in the conduction state or cut-off state, and then drive the image element circuit In light emitting diode, make lumination of light emitting diode.
In embodiments of the present invention, the image element circuit enter the scan period when, i.e., in the first stage when, can be right The grid for the first film transistor M1 that the image element circuit includes is initialized.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, in the first stage, the scanning signal that the first scan line S1 is provided is changed into high from low level Level, the scanning signal that the second scan line S2 is provided keep low level, and the scanning signal that three scan line S3 is provided is by high level It is changed into low level.
In this way, it is high level in the voltage that the grid of the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 loads, the 4th film is brilliant in the first stage Body pipe M4 is in the conduction state, is low level in the voltage that the grid of the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 loads, the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 is in cut-off state, is low level in the voltage that the grid of the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 loads, at the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 In cut-off state, second thin film transistor (TFT) is in cut-off state.
At this time, since the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 is in the conduction state, then, the first power supply ELVDD is deposited to described Storing up electricity holds C1 and charges, and during charging, the first power supply ELVDD can be to the first film transistor M1's Grid is initialized, and after charging, the first power supply ELVDD completes the grid to the first film transistor M1 Initialization, at this time, the grid voltage of the first film transistor M1 is Vdd, and Vdd provides for the first power supply ELVDD Voltage.
Terminate in the first stage after completing the initialization to the grid voltage of the first film transistor M1, the pixel Circuit enters second stage.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, in second stage, the scanning signal that the first scan line S1 is provided is changed into low from high level Level, the scanning signal that the second scan line S2 is provided are changed into high level from low level, what the three scan line S3 was provided Scanning signal keeps low level.
It is low level in the voltage that the grid of the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 loads, the 4th film is brilliant in this way, in second stage Body pipe M4 is in cut-off state, is high level in the voltage that the grid of the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 loads, the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 is in the conduction state, is low level in the voltage that the grid of the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 loads, at the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 In cut-off state.
At this time, since the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 is in the conduction state, external chip passes through the data cable DATA To the image element circuit input data voltage, the data voltage is by the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 to the first film The grid of transistor M1 applies voltage, and the threshold voltage of the second thin film transistor (TFT) M2 is sampled, at this time, described the The grid voltage of one thin film transistor (TFT) M1 will change.
At the end of second stage, grid voltage (i.e. described second thin film transistor (TFT) of the first film transistor M1 The grid voltage of M2) Vdata+Vth2 is changed into from voltage Vdd, Vdata2 is the data voltage, and Vth2 is second film The threshold voltage of transistor M2.
After second stage, the image element circuit enters the phase III.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, in the phase III, the scanning signal holding low level of the first scan line S1 offers, second The scanning signal that scan line S2 is provided is changed into low level from high level, and the scanning signal low level that three scan line S3 is provided becomes For high level.
It is low level in the grid voltage of the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 in this way, in the phase III, the 4th thin film transistor (TFT) M4 It is low level in the grid voltage of the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5, the 5th thin film transistor (TFT) M5 is in cut-off shape in cut-off state State, is high level in the grid voltage of the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3, the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 is in the conduction state.
Alternatively, it is in the conduction state in phase III, the second thin film transistor (TFT) M2.
At this time, when the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3 is in the conduction state, the first power supply ELVDD is to described first The drain electrode of thin film transistor (TFT) M1 applies voltage, the electric current of the first power supply ELVDD by the first film transistor M1 with And the 3rd thin film transistor (TFT) M3, flow into the light emitting diode OLED so that the light emitting diode OLED shines.
Since when entering the phase III, the grid voltage of the first film transistor M1 is Vdata+Vth2, due to The threshold voltage of the first film transistor M1 is identical with the threshold voltage of the second thin film transistor (TFT) M2, therefore, flows through The electric current of the light emitting diode OLED is unrelated with the threshold voltage of the first film transistor T1, and at this time, described first is thin The source voltage of film transistor M1 is the operating voltage of the light emitting diode OLED.
When the light emitting diode OLED shines, flowing through the electric current of the light emitting diode OLED is:
Ion=1/2 μ Cox·W/L·(Vdata-VOLED)2, wherein, the electronics that μ is first film transistor M1 moves Shifting rate, CoxFor the unit-area capacitance of first film transistor M1, W/L is the aspect ratio of first film transistor M1, and VOLED is The operating voltage of the light emitting diode OLED.
As can be seen that flow through the electric current of the light emitting diode OLED and the threshold voltage of the first film transistor M1 It is unrelated, so can to avoid due to threshold voltage it is inconsistent caused by display device brightness irregularities the problem of.
