Description

基于有机薄膜晶体管的AMOLED电压型像素补偿驱动电路
技术领域
本发明属于电子电路技术及显示技术等领域,具体涉及一种基于有机薄膜晶体管的AMOLED电压型像素补偿驱动电路。
背景技术
近年来,以有源矩阵有机发光二极管(AMOLED)为代表的新型平板显示产业发展迅速。随着智能手机、大型3D显示器、透明显示器和灵活显示器的分辨率不断提高,对显示技术的要求也越来越高。目前AMOLED面板中常用的薄膜晶体管分为金属氧化物TFT和低温多晶硅TFT。由于Si材料的机械性能、刚性等原因,没有一种能够实现柔性显示,所以要制备出一种特殊的晶体管来代替传统的的无机晶体管,来实现柔性显示,有机薄膜晶体管(OTFT)因其制造简单、成本低、大面积制造和良好的柔性而备受关注,这使得它有可能应用于平板显示器、电子纸、射频识别标签和传感器。但是柔性AMOLED有一个缺点,有机薄膜晶体管(OTFT)的电学特性参数在实际使用的过程中会发生变化由于发热等原因,电学特性参数变化会造成屏幕显示亮度不一致这样的问题。目前现有的像素电路无法解决这个问题,因此为了实现柔性AMOLED显示屏幕亮度均匀的目的而研究设计具有阈值电压补偿的像素驱动电路的设计。
由于OTFT性质比较特殊,由OTFT集成的像素电路,由于发光,温度变化等原因会造成OTFT阈值电压的变化,从而引起OLED电流的变化,导致屏幕发光不均匀等问题。所以对驱动OTFT的阈值电压进行补偿是必要的。当前,已有很多方法用于补偿阈值电压,如电流编程和电压编程两种方法,但是由于电流编程的方法需要更多的响应时间,故发明采用电压编程的方法,采用电压编程的方法实现快速补偿OTFT的VTH的变化。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于克服现有技术的不足,提供一种基于有机薄膜晶体管的AMOLED电压型像素补偿驱动电路,其用5个OTFT驱动OLED,通过补偿OTFT的阈值电压来提高图像的质量。基于OTFT的特殊性质,采用全新的电路设计结构,在对阈值电压进行补偿的基础上还有效的防止了OTFT漏电对像素电路电流均匀性造成的影响。
本发明还提供一种驱动OLED实现阈值电压补偿电路的驱动方法,该方法可以准确的对电路的阈值电压进行补偿。
本发明是通过以下技术方案实现的:
一种基于有机薄膜晶体管的AMOLED电压型像素补偿驱动电路,包括第一有机薄膜晶体管、第二有机薄膜晶体管、第三有机薄膜晶体管、第四有机薄膜晶体管、第五有机薄膜晶体管、电容Cs以及有机发光二极管OLED;
第一有机薄膜晶体管的源极与电源电压VDD相连,栅极连接第一扫描控制线SCAN1,漏极与点A相连接;第二有机薄膜晶体管的栅极与第二扫描控制线SCAN2连接,源极与数据信号线VDATA相连,漏极连接点B;第三有机薄膜晶体管的栅极与第三扫描控制线SCAN3连接,漏极与第五薄膜晶体管的栅极相连,源极连接点B;第四有机薄膜晶体管的栅极与第二扫描控制线SCAN2相连,源极与第五薄膜晶体管的栅极相连,漏极与有机发光二极管OLED的阳极相连;第五有机薄膜晶体管为电路的驱动晶体管,其栅极与第三薄膜晶体管的漏极相连,源极与点A相连,漏极与有机发光二极管OLED的阳极相连。
所述的基于有机薄膜晶体管的AMOLED电压型像素补偿驱动电路的驱动方法,其包括初始阶段、阈值电压补偿阶段和发光阶段,具体如下:
在初始阶段:第一扫描控制线、第二扫描控制线、第三扫描控制线均设置成低电平,所有有机薄膜晶体管都开启,此时,A点电压VA等于电源电压VDD,B点电压VB等于数据信号线电压VDATA
在阈值电压补偿阶段:第一扫描控制线为高电平,第二扫描控制线为低电平,第三扫描控制线为高电平,此时,第一薄膜晶体管关闭,电容Cs开始放电,一直放到VA=VOLED+|VTH|为止,此时第五有机薄膜晶体管关闭。其中,VA为A点电压,VTH为第五有机薄膜晶体管的阈值电压,当没有电流流过OLED时,VOLED的大小为OLED的阈值电压;
在发光阶段:第一扫描控制线和第三扫描控制线为低电平,第二扫描控制线为高电平,此时,A点电压VA等于电源电压VDD,根据电容的自举特性,此时B点电压VB等于VDATA+VDD-VOLED-|VTH|;根据OLED电流公式IOLED=k(VSG-|VTH|)2=k(VDD–(VDATA+VDD-VOLED-|VTH|)-|VTH|)2=k(VOLED-VDATA)2,式中,VSG为驱动晶体管的源栅电压,VSG=VA-VB,k=(1/2)μCox(W/L)2(其中,u为驱动晶体管的载流子迁移率,Cox为单位面积电容,W/L是驱动晶体管的宽长比);根据电流公式可以看出变量VTH被抵消了,无论阈值电压如何变化对电流也不会造成影响。可以看出本电路可以准确的对驱动晶体管的阈值电压进行补偿,从而提高AMOLED的显示品质。
本发明的优点和有益效果为:
1.本电路采用有机薄膜晶体管驱动OLED,可以实现柔性显示这样的一个功能。
2.该像素驱动电路是基于有机薄膜晶体管(OTFT)的性质设计的,利用设计测试模块实测驱动晶体管的阈值电压,可以更加准确的补偿驱动晶体管老化而引起的阈值电压漂移的问题,有效的提高显示效果。
3.该像素驱动电路还具有快速检验驱动晶体管补偿效果的功能,可以检测该像素电路是否具有阈值电压补偿效果。
