值得注意的是,虽然在图1的实施例中,显示装置900包含设置于显示面板950两侧的栅极驱动器930和940,分别用以输出不同的控制信号(如:第一控制信号S1[1]~S1[k]和第二控制信号S2[1]~S2[k],以及发光控制信号EM[1]~EM[k]),但仅为方便说明的示例,并非用以限制本案。在其他部分实施例中,显示装置900亦可仅包含设置于显示面板950任一侧的单一栅极驱动器,用以输出所有的控制信号。
请参考图2。图2是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示一种像素电路100的示意图。在部分实施例中,像素电路100可用于主动式液晶显示器(Active Matrix Liquid CrystalDisplays,AMLCD)、主动式有机发光二极管显示器(Active Matrix Organic LightEmitting Display,AMOLED)、主动式微发光二极管显示器(Active Matrix Micro LightEmitting Display,AMOLED,AMμLED)等等。显示装置900中可包含多个如图2所示的像素电路100以组成完整的显示画面。
如图2所示,像素电路100包含重置电路120、写入电路140、补偿电路160、发光控制电路180、电容C1、驱动晶体管Td和发光元件OLED。驱动晶体管Td包含第一端、第二端和控制端。结构上,重置电路120耦接补偿电路160。补偿电路160耦接驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)和驱动晶体管Td的第二端。写入电路140耦接驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N2)。驱动晶体管Td的第二端通过发光控制电路180耦接发光元件OLED。
具体而言,在部分实施例中,重置电路120包含晶体管T1。补偿电路160包含晶体管T2和T3。写入电路140包含晶体管T4。发光控制电路180包含晶体管T5和T6。在其他部分实施例中,像素电路100更包含晶体管T7。
驱动晶体管Td的第一端耦接节点N2。驱动晶体管Td的控制端耦接节点N1。驱动晶体管Td用以根据节点N1的电压电平选择性地导通或关断。电容C1的第一端用以接收系统高电压OVDD。电容C1的第二端耦接驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)。
晶体管T1的第一端用以接收参考电压Vref。晶体管T1的第二端耦接晶体管T2的第一端和晶体管T3的第一端。晶体管T1的控制端用以接收第一控制信号S1[n]并根据第一控制信号S1[n]选择性地导通或关断。
晶体管T2的第二端耦接驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)。晶体管T3的第二端耦接驱动晶体管Td的第二端。晶体管T2的控制端和晶体管T3的控制端用以接收第二控制信号S2[n]并根据第二控制信号S2[n]选择性地导通或关断。
晶体管T4的第一端用以接收数据信号Vdata。晶体管T4的第二端耦接驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N2)。晶体管T4的控制端用以接收第二控制信号S2[n]并根据第二控制信号S2[n]选择性地导通或关断。
晶体管T5的第一端用以接收系统高电压OVDD。晶体管T5的第二端耦接驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N2)。晶体管T5的控制端用以接收发光控制信号EM[n]并根据发光控制信号EM[n]选择性地导通或关断。

晶体管T7的第一端耦接晶体管T7的控制端。晶体管T7的第二端耦接发光元件OLED的阳极端。晶体管T7用以接收续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]并根据续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]选择性地导通或关断。发光元件OLED的阳极端耦接系统低电压OVSS。
在本实施例中,如图2所示,晶体管T1、T2、T3、T4、T5、T6、T7和驱动晶体管Td皆为P型薄膜晶体管,但本案并不以此为限。在其他部分实施例中,本领域具有通常知识者亦可以N型薄膜晶体管据以实现。另外,在部分实施例中,发光元件OLED可为发光二极管或微发光二极管等等。
为便于说明起见,像素电路100当中各个元件的具体操作将于以下段落中搭配图式进行说明。请一并参考图2和图3。图3是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示一种像素电路100的信号时序示意图。如图3所示,期间F_act和期间F_skp皆为一帧(frame)的时间。为了方便说明起见,一帧中仅绘示两个像素电路(当级和续传级)的控制信号及其时脉信号,本领域具有通常知识者可据此推知所有像素电路(第1级至第k级)的控制信号。其中,期间F_act中的信号为一般进行画面更新时的信号,而期间F_skp中的信号为维持前一帧画面的信号。换言之,在期间F_skp中不会写入新的数据信号Vdata至像素电路100,然而,在本实施例中,在期间F_skp中仍会对像素电路100进行发光元件OLED的阳极端重置并进行发光显示。
在部分实施例中,在一般模式下,显示装置900每一帧的信号皆如期间F_act所示。而在省电模式下,显示装置900每一帧的信号如期间F_act和期间F_skp交替所示。举例来说,在一般模式下,画面更新频率可约为45赫兹。而当显示装置900显示静态影像、变化幅度较小或变化速度较慢的画面内容时,显示装置900当前一帧的信号如期间F_act所示,下一帧的信号如期间F_skp所示,下下一帧的信号如期间F_act所示,以此类推。又例如,显示装置900以i帧为一循环,循环中第1帧的信号如期间F_act所示,第2~i帧的信号如期间F_skp所示,其中i为大于1的任意正整数。如此一来,当i为3时,第1帧会进行画面更新,第2帧和第3帧不进行画面更新,则画面更新频率约为45/3=15赫兹。
具体而言,如图3所示,在期间F_act,时脉信号CK1、CK2、CK3、CKA、CKB、EMA、EMB切换于低电平和高电平之间,起始信号VST、控制信号S1[n]、S2[n]、S1[n+1]、S2[n+1]依序由高电平转为低电平,起始信号EMST、发光控制信号EM[n]、EM[n+1]依序由关断电压电平转为导通电压电平。
换言之,在期间F_act,栅极驱动器930用以根据时脉信号CK1、CK2、CK3、CKA、CKB和起始信号VST产生控制信号S1[n]、S2[n]、S1[n+1]、S2[n+1],栅极驱动器940用以根据时脉信号EMA、EMB和起始信号EMST产生发光控制信号EM[n]、EM[n+1],使得像素电路100根据控制信号S1[n]、S2[n]、S1[n+1]、S2[n+1]进行重置、写入、补偿和发光。
关于期间F_act中进行画面更新时的信号的进一步详细说明,请参考图4A。图4A是根据本发明的其他部分实施例绘示一种像素电路100在期间F_act中的信号时序放大示意图。如图4A所示,在部分实施例中,期间F_act包含期间P1、期间P2和期间P3。具体而言,期间P1为重置和写入阶段,期间P2为补偿阶段,期间P3为发光阶段。在其他部分实施例中,期间F_act更包含期间P4。具体而言,期间P4为重置发光元件OLED的阳极端的阶段。
请一并参考图4A和图5。图5是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示在进行画面更新(期间F_act)中第一期间P1(即重置和写入阶段)内图2的像素电路100中各晶体管的状态示意图。如图4A所示,在期间P1中,发光控制信号EM[n]先转为关断电压电平,例如对于P型晶体管而言为高电压电平(即图4A所示的高电平)。接着,第一控制信号S1[n]和第二控制信号S2[n]依序转为导通电压电平,例如对于P型晶体管而言为低电压电平(如图4A所示的低电平)。
如图5所示,晶体管T5和T6根据高电平的发光控制信号EM[n]关断,接着,晶体管T1根据低电平的第一控制信号S1[n]导通以提供参考电压Vref至晶体管T2和T3的第一端。接着,晶体管T2和T3根据低电平的第二控制信号S2[n]导通以提供参考电压Vref至节点N1。同时,晶体管T4根据低电平的第二控制信号S2[n]导通以提供数据信号Vdata至节点N2。
因此,在期间P1,驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)被重置至参考电压Vref,驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N2)接收写入数据信号Vdata。此外,在期间P1,续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]维持关断电压电平(如图4A所示的高电平),因此,晶体管T7维持关断。
接着,请一并参考图4A和图6。图6是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示在进行画面更新(期间F_act)中第二期间P2(即补偿阶段)内图2的像素电路100中各晶体管的状态示意图。如图4A所示,在期间P2中,第一控制信号S1[n]转为关断电压电平(如图4A所示的高电平)。由于其他信号维持不变,在此不再赘述。如图6所示,晶体管T1根据高电平的第一控制信号S1[n]关断,晶体管T2、T3和T4维持导通,而晶体管T5、T6和T7维持关断。
因此,在期间P2,驱动晶体管Td的第一端和控制端的电压差为数据信号Vdata减去参考电压Vref,此电压差大于驱动晶体管Td的临界电压而使得驱动晶体管Td导通。导通后的驱动晶体管Td根据其第一端的数据信号Vdata对其第二端和其控制端充电,直到驱动晶体管Td的第一端和控制端之间的电压差缩小至驱动晶体管Td的临界电压。也就是说,在期间P2,驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)被补偿至补偿电压电平,此补偿电压电平即为数据信号Vdata减去驱动晶体管Td的临界电压。
接着,请一并参考图4A和图7。图7是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示在进行画面更新(期间F_act)中第四期间P4(即重置发光元件OLED阳极端的阶段)内图2的像素电路100中各晶体管的状态示意图。如图4A所示,在期间P2结束时,第二控制信号S2[n]转为关断电压电平。而在期间P4中,续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]转为导通电压电平(如图4A所示的低电平)。由于其他信号维持不变,在此不再赘述。
如图7所示,晶体管T1、T2、T3、T4、T5和T6关断,晶体管T7根据低电平的第一控制信号S1[n+1]导通,使得发光元件OLED的阳极端被重置至重置电压电平(即低电平)。如此一来,藉由续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1],便能在发光阶段前确保发光元件OLED没有残存的电荷。
接着,请一并参考图4A和图8。图8是根据本发明的部分实施例绘示在进行画面更新(期间F_act)中第三期间P3(即发光阶段)内图2的像素电路100中各晶体管的状态示意图。如图4A所示,在期间P3中,发光控制信号EM[n]转为导通电压电平(如图4A所示的低电平),其他信号维持不变,在此不再赘述。如图8所示,晶体管T1、T2、T3、T4和T7关断,晶体管T5和T6根据低电平的发光控制信号EM[n]导通,以提供系统高电压OVDD至驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N1),使得驱动晶体管Td输出驱动电流Id如下式(1)所示:
Figure BDA0002436866960000091
其中Vth为驱动晶体管Td的临界电压。k为导电参数(Conduction Parameter)。如此一来,藉由期间P2所产生的补偿电压进行补偿,便能使像素电路100进行显示时,驱动电流Id的电流大小将不受驱动晶体管Td的元件特性(如临界电压不同)而影响,可提供相对稳定的驱动电流Id。
请回头参考图3。在期间F_skp,相似于期间F_act,时脉信号CK1、CK2、CK3、EMA、EMB切换于低电平和高电平之间,起始信号VST、控制信号S1[n]、S1[n+1]依序由高电平转为低电平,起始信号EMST、发光控制信号EM[n]、EM[n+1]依序由关断电压电平转为导通电压电平。然而,在期间F_skp,时脉信号CKA、CKB、控制信号S2[n]、S2[n+1]一直维持在高电平。
换言之,在期间F_skp,栅极驱动器930用以根据时脉信号CK1、CK2、CK3和起始信号VST产生控制信号S1[n]、S1[n+1],栅极驱动器940用以根据时脉信号EMA、EMB和起始信号EMST产生发光控制信号EM[n]、EM[n+1],使得像素电路100根据控制信号S1[n+1]进行发光元件OLED的阳极端的重置并进行发光,但不写入数据信号Vdata。此外,在期间F_skp,虽然仍会持续地提供参考电压Vref,但由于在此期间控制信号S2[n]不会作动,因此节点N1的电压不会被重置。
关于期间F_skp中维持前一帧画面的信号的进一步详细说明,请参考图4B。图4B是根据本发明的其他部分实施例绘示一种像素电路100在期间F_skp中的信号时序放大示意图。如图4B所示,在部分实施例中,期间F_skp包含期间P5和期间P6。具体而言,期间P5为重置发光元件OLED的阳极端的阶段。期间P6为发光阶段。
如图4B所示,在期间P5中,相似于期间F_act中的期间P4,续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]转为导通电压电平,其他信号皆为关断电压电平。因此,晶体管T1、T2、T3、T4、T5和T6关断,晶体管T7根据低电平的第一控制信号S1[n+1]导通,使得发光元件OLED的阳极端被重置至重置电压电平(即低电平)。
在期间P6中,相似于期间F_act中的期间P3,发光控制信号EM[n]转为导通电压电平,其他信号皆为关断电压电平。因此,晶体管T1、T2、T3、T4和T7关断,晶体管T5和T6根据低电平的发光控制信号EM[n]导通,以提供系统高电压OVDD至驱动晶体管Td的第一端(即,节点N1),使得驱动晶体管Td输出驱动电流Id。
如此一来,即便在维持前一帧画面信号的期间F_skp中,由于起始信号VST和时脉信号CK1、CK2、CK3的持续作动,因此藉由续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1],便能在发光阶段前重置发光元件OLED的阳极端,以确保发光元件OLED没有残存的电荷影响发光亮度。并且,藉由本案提出的像素电路100的设计,驱动晶体管Td的控制端(即,节点N1)的电压电平较不容易受到影响,在期间F_skp中仍可保持与在期间F_act的期间P3中相近的电压电平。因此,在期间F_skp中的期间P6和期间F_act中的期间P3的发光亮度能较为接近。此外,由于在期间F_skp中不提供进行重置的参考电压Vref,也不写入数据信号Vdata,可达到节省电力消耗。
值得注意的是,虽然在本案实施例中,晶体管T7是以接收续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1]为例进行说明,然而本发明不以此为限,本领与具有通常知识者可依据实际需求进行调整设计。
请参考图9A和图9B。图9A是根据本发明的其他部分实施例绘示另一种像素电路100a的示意图。图9B是根据图9A的实施例绘示一种像素电路100a的信号时序示意图。如图9A所示,在部分实施例中,晶体管T7可用以接收当级的第一控制信号S1[n]。如图9B所示的第一控制信号S1[n]由高电平转为低电平时,像素电路100a的晶体管T1和T7一起导通。接着,第二控制信号S2[n]也由高电平转为低电平。如此一来,像素电路100a在将节点N1重置到参考电压Vref的同时,亦将发光元件OLED的阳极端重置到低电平。接着,再进行发光显示。
请参考图10A和图10B。图10A是根据本发明的其他部分实施例绘示另一种像素电路100b的示意图。图10B是根据图10A的实施例绘示一种像素电路100b的信号时序示意图。如图10A所示,在其他部分实施例中,晶体管T7可用以接收前一级的第一控制信号S1[n-1]。如图10B所示的第一控制信号S1[n-1]由高电平转为低电平时,像素电路100b的晶体管T7导通,因而将发光元件OLED的阳极端重置到低电平。接着,第一控制信号S1[n]和第二控制信号S2[n]依序由高电平转为低电平,像素电路100b的晶体管T1和T2导通,再将节点N1重置到参考电压Vref。最后,再进行发光显示。
请参考图11。图10A是根据本发明的其他部分实施例绘示另一种像素电路100c的示意图。如图11所示,在其他部份实施例中,晶体管T1的第一端用以接收参考电压Vref1。晶体管T7的第一端用以接收参考电压Vref2。晶体管T7的控制端用以接收第一控制信号S1[n+1]并根据第一控制信号S1[n+1]选择性地导通或关断。其中,参考电压Vref1、Vref2和上述的参考电压Vref可以是相同、不完全相同,或者完全不同的电压电平。此外,虽然在图11所绘示的实施例中,晶体管T7的控制端是以接收续传级的第一控制信号S1[n+1],然而本发明不以此为限。相似于图9A~图10B及其相关说明,在其他部分实施例中,晶体管T7的控制端可用以接收当级的第一控制信号S1[n],或者用以接收前一级的第一控制信号S1[n-1]。
虽然本文将所公开的方法示出和描述为一系列的步骤或事件,但是应当理解,所示出的这些步骤或事件的顺序不应解释为限制意义。例如,部分步骤可以以不同顺序发生和/或与除了本文所示和/或所描述的步骤或事件以外的其他步骤或事件同时发生。另外,实施本文所描述的一个或多个态样或实施例时,并非所有于此示出的步骤皆为必需。此外,本文中的一个或多个步骤亦可能在一个或多个分离的步骤和/或阶段中执行。
综上所述,本案通过应用上述各个实施例中,在维持前一帧画面信号的期间F_skp中,不写入新的数据信号Vdata至像素电路100,但仍对像素电路100进行重置并进行发光显示。藉由像素电路100的设计以及重置发光元件OLED的阳极端,使得发光元件OLED不会有残存的电荷影响发光亮度,且驱动晶体管Td的控制端的电压电平较能保持与在进行画面信号更新的期间F_act中相近的电压电平。如此一来,便能在降低画面更新率时,达到节省功耗并稳定发光亮度,避免产生闪烁的现象。
虽然本发明已以实施方式揭露如上,然其并非用以限定本发明,所属技术领域具有通常知识者在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围当视后附的申请专利范围所界定者为准。
