And a voltage compensation is performed on a node at one end of the thin film transistor of the driving circuit 100 of the display panel through the comparison unit 205 and the timing control unit 202.
The display panel external compensation device 200 provided by the present invention may be in various forms as long as it has the above-described functional units. Those skilled in the art can implement the above functional units by using hardware, software, firmware or a combination of three folding, thereby forming the device and the display panel of the embodiment of the present invention.
The invention also provides a voltage compensation method, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
step S1) provides the display panel external compensation device 200 described above, and so on.
Step S2) the driving circuit 100 of the display panel enters a first stage of a probing stage timing sequence, in which the writing signal (WR) provides a high potential, the reading signal (RD) provides a high potential, the Data signal (Data) provides a high potential, the reference voltage (Vref) provides a high potential, the second thin film transistor (T2) and the third thin film transistor (T3) are turned on, and the Data signal (Data) and the reference voltage (Vref) write initial potentials to the first node (G) and the second node (S) respectively.
Step S3) the driving circuit 100 of the display panel enters a second stage of the probing stage, in which the write signal (WR) provides a low potential, the reference voltage (Vref) provides a low potential, the second thin film transistor (T2) is turned off, the reference voltage Vref is disconnected from the sensing line, the power Voltage (VDD) starts to charge the second node (S), the potential of the first node (G) rises due to the coupling of the first capacitor (Cst), and the reference voltage (Vgs) remains unchanged, i.e., the voltage between the first node (G) and the second node (S), i.e., the voltage between the gate and the source.
Step S4) enters a third stage of the probing stage timing, in which the write signal (WR) provides a low potential, the Scan signal (Sen) provides a high potential, the Data signal (Data) provides a high potential, the first switch (Scan) is turned on, and the voltage of the second node (S) is probed by the external compensation circuit.
Step S5) in the third phase, the potential of the Sensing line (Sensing) of different pixels at different gray levels, i.e. the potential of the second node (S), is detected at the time point t, and the initial voltage value Vs0 is recorded by the data unit 201.
Step S6) circulating the detecting stages, measuring the potential Vsi on the Sensing line (Sensing) at the same time point t of each stage, and performing voltage-current conversion by the current converting unit 206, if the detected Vsi is different from the Vs0, performing voltage compensation on the driving circuit 100 of the display panel by the comparing unit 205 until the Vsi is the same as the initial value Vs 0; where i represents the number of times the probing phase sequence is cycled.
In the third stage, assuming that the difference between the point and the turn-off time of the write signal (WR) is T, the detected voltage is V0, and it is ensured that Vgs remains substantially unchanged during the time T, that is, the current flowing through T1 remains substantially unchanged, I0, then the principle of charging according to the capacitor is as follows: i0 is (V0-Vref) × C, i.e. C is constant for a fixed panel, if t is fixed, (V0-Vref) is proportional to I0, when Vref takes 0V, V0 is proportional to I0, i.e. the change of I0 can be directly reflected by the detected V0 value, and V0 is the Vsi, i.e. the voltage value of the second node.
The method can complete the detection and compensation of the TFT electrical drift at one time, and can detect and compensate during the startup and shutdown as the detection can be completed quickly in a short time, and can also detect and compensate in real time during the use process of the panel and can also detect the change of different gray scale currents.

TABLE 1 Electrical parameters obtained by probing different TFTs
Figure BDA0002448520140000091
According to the timing shown in fig. 2, we detect the data voltage to be corrected and the current levels before and after compensation at different Vth and mobility, respectively. Initially, assuming that the mobility of the TFT is U0, we set the data voltage to 5V, detect the S-point potential at time t, whose magnitude is shown in table one as VADC being 9.51V, then detect the S-point potential according to the above steps until the detected voltage and the initial voltage are consistent, and record the data voltage at this time as the compensated data voltage value.
From the current results, we can see that the current variation is more than 40% when only Vth changes (+ -1.5V) and is less than 1% after compensation; when only the mobility is changed (changed by 0.5 time or 1.5 times), the current variation is more than 15% when the mobility is not compensated, and is about 2% after compensation; when Vth and mobility change simultaneously, the amount of current variation is 19% or more when not compensated, and about 2% after compensation. From the above simulation results, it is obvious that the scheme can effectively compensate the influence of Vth and mobility variation on the current.
It should be noted that many variations and modifications of the embodiments of the present invention fully described are possible and are not to be considered as limited to the specific examples of the above embodiments. The above examples are given by way of illustration of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In conclusion, the scope of the present invention should include those changes or substitutions and modifications which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art.
