Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The transistors used in all embodiments of the present disclosure may be field effect transistors or other devices having the same characteristics, and the transistors used in embodiments of the present disclosure are primarily switching transistors depending on the role in the circuit. Since the source and drain of the switching transistor used herein are symmetrical, the source and drain may be interchanged. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the source is referred to as a first pole and the drain is referred to as a second pole, or the drain is referred to as a first pole and the source is referred to as a second pole. The form of the figure provides that the middle end of the transistor is a grid, the signal input end is a source, and the signal output end is a drain. In addition, the switching transistor employed in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include any one of a P-type switching transistor that is turned on when the gate is at a low level and turned off when the gate is at a high level and an N-type switching transistor that is turned on when the gate is at a high level and turned off when the gate is at a low level. In addition, in each embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the plurality of signals corresponds to an effective potential and an ineffective potential, and the effective potential and the ineffective potential represent only 2 state quantities of the potential of the signal, and do not represent that the effective potential or the ineffective potential has a specific value throughout the text.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the pixel circuit may include: a light emission control circuit 10, a reset circuit 20, and a light emission driving circuit 30.
Referring to fig. 1, the light emission control circuit 10 may be connected with a gate signal terminal G1, a data signal terminal D1, a scan signal terminal S1, a sensing signal line SENSE, a light emission control signal terminal EM, a first node P1, a second node P2, and a light emitting element L1, respectively. The light emission control circuit 10 may be configured to control on/off states of the first node P1 and the data signal terminal D1 in response to a gate driving signal provided from a gate signal terminal G1, to control on/off states of the second node P2 and the sensing signal line SENSE in response to a scan signal provided from a scan signal terminal S1, and to control on/off states of the second node P2 and the light emitting element L1 in response to a light emission control signal provided from a light emission control signal terminal EM.
For example, the light emission control circuit 10 may control the first node P1 and the data signal terminal D1 to be turned on when the potential of the gate driving signal is a first potential, and control the first node P1 and the data signal terminal D1 to be turned off when the potential of the gate driving signal is a second potential. When the first node P1 and the data signal terminal D1 are turned on, the data signal terminal D1 outputs the data signal to the first node P1.
For another example, the light emission control circuit 10 may control the second node P2 to be turned on with the detection signal line SENSE when the potential of the scan signal is the first potential, and may control the second node P2 to be turned off with the detection signal line SENSE when the potential of the scan signal is the second potential. When the second node P2 is turned on by the SENSE signal line SENSE, the SENSE signal line SENSE can output a target signal (e.g., a reference signal for resetting the second node P2) to the second node P2 and collect the potential of the second node P2.
For another example, the light-emitting control circuit 10 can also control the second node P2 to be connected to the light-emitting element L1 when the potential of the light-emitting control signal is the first potential, and control the second node P2 to be disconnected from the light-emitting element L1 when the potential of the light-emitting control signal is the second potential. When the second node P2 is conducted with the light emitting device L1, the potential of the second node P2 is outputted to the light emitting device L1, and the light emitting device L1 emits light.
Optionally, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the first potential may be an active potential, the second potential may be an inactive potential, and the first potential may be a high potential with respect to the second potential.
It should be noted that the SENSE signal line SENSE may be used to connect an external compensation circuit. Accordingly, the external compensation circuit may read the potential on the sensing signal line SENSE (i.e., the potential of the second node P2), determine the magnitude of a relevant parameter (e.g., the threshold voltage Vth or the mobility k) affecting the light emission luminance based on the read potential, and adjust the data signal input to the source driving circuit based on the determined magnitude of the relevant parameter, so that the source driving circuit may provide the data signal to the data signal terminal D1 according to the adjusted data signal to achieve external compensation of the threshold voltage or the mobility.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the reset circuit 20 may be connected to the reset signal terminal R1, the reference signal terminal Vref, and the first node P1, respectively. The reset circuit 20 may be configured to control the on/off state of the reference signal terminal Vref and the first node P1 in response to a reset signal provided from the reset signal terminal R1.
For example, the reset circuit 20 may control the reference signal terminal Vref to be conductive with the first node P1 when the potential of the reset signal is a first potential, and control the reference signal terminal Vref to be disconnected with the first node P1 when the potential of the reset signal is a second potential. When the reference signal terminal Vref is conducted to the first node P1, the reference signal terminal Vref may output a first reference signal to the first node P1, so as to reset the first node P1.
By setting the reset circuit 20 to reset the first node P1 and the light-emission control circuit 10 to reset the second node P2, it is ensured that each pixel circuit can perform a display phase from the same operating state, and further, the short-term afterimage problem caused by the hysteresis effect is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the light emission driving circuit 30 may be connected to the direct current power source ELVDD, the first node P1, and the second node P2, respectively. The light-emitting driving circuit 30 may be configured to control the on-off state of the direct current power source terminal ELVDD and the second node P2 in response to the potential of the first node P1.
For example, the light-emitting driving circuit 30 may control the dc power source terminal ELVDD to be turned on with the second node P2 when the potential of the first node P1 is a first potential, and to be turned off with the second node P2 when the potential of the first node P1 is a second potential. When the dc power source ELVDD is conducted to the second node P2, the dc power source ELVDD may output a dc power signal to the second node P2. Alternatively, the light-emitting driving circuit 30 may output a driving current to the second node P2 based on the potential of the first node P1 and the dc power signal, so that when the light-emitting control circuit 10 controls the second node P2 to be conducted with the light-emitting element L1, the driving current is further output to the light-emitting element L1, and the light-emitting element L1 emits light.
In summary, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pixel circuit including a light emission control circuit, a reset circuit, and a light emission driving circuit. The reset circuit can output a reference signal for resetting the first node to the first node connected with the light-emitting drive circuit, the light-emitting control circuit can output a reference signal for resetting the second node to the second node connected with the light-emitting drive circuit, and the light-emitting control circuit can control the on-off state of the detection signal line connected with the external compensation circuit and the second node. Therefore, by flexibly controlling the potential of each signal end, after threshold voltage is reliably compensated based on an external compensation technology, each pixel circuit enters a display stage of driving the light-emitting element to emit light under the same initial state. Thus, the problem of short-term afterimage caused by the hysteresis effect of the transistor is improved. The display substrate adopting the pixel circuit has good display effect.

As shown in fig. 2, the light emission control circuit 10 may include: a data writing sub-circuit 101, a compensation sub-circuit 102, a storage sub-circuit 103, and a light emission control sub-circuit 104.
Referring to fig. 2, the data writing sub-circuit 101 may be connected to the gate signal terminal G1, the data signal terminal D1, and the first node P1, respectively. The data write sub-circuit 101 may be configured to control the on/off states of the data signal terminal D1 and the first node P1 in response to a gate driving signal.
For example, the data writing sub-circuit 101 may control the data signal terminal D1 to be turned on with the first node P1 when the potential of the gate driving signal is a first potential, and control the data signal terminal D1 to be disconnected with the first node P1 when the potential of the gate driving signal is a second potential.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the compensation sub-circuit 102 may be connected to the scan signal terminal S1, the sensing signal line SENSE, and the second node P2, respectively. The compensation sub-circuit 102 may be used to control the on-off state of the SENSE signal line SENSE and the second node P2 in response to a scan signal.
For example, the compensation sub-circuit 102 may control the detection signal line SENSE to be conductive with the second node P2 when the potential of the scan signal is a first potential, and control the detection signal line SENSE to be disconnected with the second node P2 when the potential of the scan signal is a second potential.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the storage sub-circuit 103 may be connected to a first node P1 and a second node P2, respectively. The memory sub-circuit 103 may be used to adjust the potential of the first node P1 according to the potential of the second node P2.
For example, the memory sub-circuit 103 may adjust the potential of the first node P1 according to the potential of the second node P2 through a coupling effect.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the light emission control sub-circuit 104 may be connected to the light emission control signal terminal EM, the second node P2, and the light emitting element L1, respectively. The light emitting control sub-circuit 104 may be configured to control the on/off states of the second node P2 and the light emitting element L1 in response to a light emitting control signal.
For example, the light emission control sub-circuit 104 may control the second node P2 to be turned on with the light emitting element L1 when the potential of the light emission control signal is a first potential, and control the second node P2 to be disconnected with the light emitting element L1 when the potential of the control signal is a second potential.

Referring to fig. 3, the switching circuit 40 may be connected to the third node P3, the scan signal terminal S1, and the first node P1, respectively. The switching circuit 40 may be used to control the on-off states of the first node P1 and the third node P3 in response to a scan signal. The third node P3 may be connected to the data writing sub-circuit 101 and the reset circuit 20, respectively.
For example, the switch circuit 40 may control the first node P1 and the third node P3 to be turned on when the potential of the scan signal is a first potential, and control the first node P1 and the third node P3 to be disconnected when the potential of the scan signal is a second potential.
Since the third node P3 is also connected to the data writing sub-circuit 101 and the reset circuit 20, when the first node P1 and the third node P3 are turned on, the data writing sub-circuit 101 can be turned on with the first node P1, and the reset circuit 20 can be turned on with the first node P1. Furthermore, when the data writing sub-circuit 101 is turned on with the first node P1 and the gate driving signal is at the first potential, the data signal terminal D1 can be turned on with the first node P1. When the reset circuit 20 is conducted to the first node P1 and the potential of the reset signal is the first potential, the reference signal terminal Vref can be conducted to the first node P1.

Optionally, in combination with the pixel circuit shown in fig. 4, since the reset transistor T1 and the data write transistor T3 are both directly connected to the first node P1 (i.e., the gate of the driving transistor T6), in order to effectively avoid the influence of the reset transistor T1 and the data write transistor T3, the potential of the gate of the driving transistor T6 has a leakage phenomenon in the display stage, and the reset transistor T1 and the data write transistor T3 may both be Low Temperature Polysilicon (LTPS) dual-gate transistors. Of course, the double-gate transistor may be made of other materials (e.g., amorphous silicon) than LTPS material. Alternatively, the reset transistor T1 and the data write transistor T3 may be both oxide (oxide) transistors.
Alternatively, in conjunction with the pixel circuit shown in fig. 5, since neither the reset transistor T1 nor the data write transistor T3 is directly connected to the first node P1, but is indirectly connected to the first node P1 through the switch transistor T2, that is, the switch transistor T2 is directly connected to the first node P1. Therefore, in order to effectively avoid the influence of the switching transistor T2, the potential of the gate of the driving transistor T6 may leak in the display period, and the switching transistor T2 may be only an LTPS double gate transistor, or an oxide transistor.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, the light emitting element L1 is also connected to a power integrated circuit (power IC) 50. Among them, the power IC 50 may include a first transistor M1 and a second transistor M2.

The first transistor M1 may control the on/off states of the light emitting element L1 and the dc power source ELVDD in response to a first switch control signal provided from the first switch control terminal SW 1.
For example, the first transistor M1 may control the light emitting element L1 to be turned on from the dc power source ELVDD when the potential of the first switch control signal is a first potential, and control the light emitting element L1 to be turned off from the dc power source ELVDD when the potential of the first switch control signal is a second potential.

The second transistor M2 may control the on/off states of the light emitting element L1 and the dc power source terminal ELVSS in response to a second switch control signal provided from the second switch control terminal SW 2.
For example, the second transistor M2 may control the light emitting element L1 to be connected to the dc power source terminal ELVSS when the potential of the second switch control signal is a first potential, and control the light emitting element L1 to be disconnected from the dc power source terminal ELVSS when the potential of the second switch control signal is a second potential.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, each transistor included in the pixel circuit may be an N-type transistor. Accordingly, as described in the above embodiments, the first potential may be a high potential with respect to the second potential. Of course, each transistor included in the pixel circuit may be a P-type transistor. Accordingly, the first potential is a low potential relative to the second potential.
In summary, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pixel circuit including a light emission control circuit, a reset circuit, and a light emission driving circuit. The reset circuit can output a reference signal for resetting the first node to the first node connected with the light-emitting drive circuit, the light-emitting control circuit can output a reference signal for resetting the second node to the second node connected with the light-emitting drive circuit, and the light-emitting control circuit can control the on-off state of the detection signal line connected with the external compensation circuit and the second node. Therefore, by flexibly controlling the potential of each signal end, after threshold voltage is reliably compensated based on an external compensation technology, each pixel circuit enters a display stage of driving the light-emitting element to emit light under the same initial state. Thus, the problem of short-term afterimage caused by the hysteresis effect of the transistor is improved. The display substrate adopting the pixel circuit has good display effect.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a driving method of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the disclosure, which can be applied to the pixel circuit shown in any one of fig. 1 to 5. As shown in fig. 6, the method may include:
step 601, in a reset stage, the potential of the reset signal provided by the reset signal terminal and the potential of the scan signal provided by the scan signal terminal are both the first potential, the reset circuit responds to the reset signal to control the conduction of the reference signal terminal and the first node, the light-emitting control circuit responds to the scan signal to control the conduction of the second node and the detection signal line, the reference signal terminal outputs the first reference signal to the first node, and the detection signal line outputs the second reference signal to the second node.
Step 602, during a data writing phase, the potential of the gate driving signal provided by the gate signal terminal and the potential of the scanning signal are both the first potential, the light-emitting control circuit controls the first node to be conducted with the data signal terminal in response to the gate driving signal, and controls the second node to be conducted with the detection signal line in response to the scanning signal, the data signal terminal outputs the data signal to the first node, and the detection signal line outputs the second reference signal to the second node.
The data signal may be a signal obtained by compensating an initial data signal (i.e., a data signal input to the source driving circuit) by an external compensation circuit based on a signal collected by the detection signal line.
Step 603, during the light emitting stage, the potential of the light emitting control signal provided by the light emitting control signal terminal is the first potential, and the light emitting control circuit controls the second node to be conducted with the light emitting element in response to the light emitting control signal.
In summary, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving method of a pixel circuit, in a reset phase, a reset circuit may output a reference signal for resetting a first node to a first node connected to a light-emitting driving circuit, a light-emitting control circuit may output a reference signal for resetting a second node to a second node connected to the light-emitting driving circuit, and the light-emitting control circuit may control on/off states of a detection signal line connected to an external compensation circuit and the second node. Therefore, by flexibly controlling the potential of each signal end, after threshold voltage is reliably compensated based on an external compensation technology, each pixel circuit enters a display stage of driving the light-emitting element to emit light under the same initial state. Thus, the problem of short-term afterimage caused by the hysteresis effect of the transistor is improved. The display substrate adopting the pixel circuit has good display effect.
With reference to fig. 4 and 5, before the reset phase (i.e., step 601) is performed, the threshold voltage Vth and the mobility k of the light emitting driving circuit (i.e., the driving transistor T6) may be externally compensated by an external compensation circuit, so as to ensure a better display effect. Taking the pixel circuit shown in fig. 4 and taking the transistors in the pixel circuit as N-type transistors as an example, the specific operation principle of the external compensation and the light-emitting driving will be described as follows:
FIG. 7 shows a timing diagram of the signal terminals during the threshold voltage sensing (i.e., Vth sensing) phase. As shown in fig. 7, the threshold voltage sensing phase includes three phases t11, t12 and t13, and in the three phases, the potential of the first control signal provided by the first switch control terminal SW1 is a first potential, the potential of the second control signal provided by the second switch control terminal SW2 is a second potential, the first transistor M1 in the power IC is turned on, and the second transistor M2 is turned off. Accordingly, the dc power supply terminal ELVDD is turned on with the light emitting element L1, and the dc power supply terminal ELVDD outputs a dc power supply signal at the first potential to the light emitting element L1.
With continued reference to fig. 7, at the stage T11, the potential of the gate driving signal provided by the gate signal terminal G1 and the potential of the scan signal provided by the scan signal terminal S1 are both the first potential, and the data writing transistor T3 and the compensation transistor T4 are both turned on. The data signal terminal D1 outputs a data signal at a first potential (e.g., the potential of the data signal may be Vdata) to the first node P1 through the data write transistor T3. The detection signal line SENSE outputs an initial signal (e.g., the potential of the initial signal may be Vinit) to the second node P2 through the compensation transistor T4 to effect resetting of the second node P2.
In a phase t12, the sensing signal line SENSE is controlled to be in a floating state, i.e., no voltage is supplied to the sensing signal line SENSE. The potentials of the gate driving signal and the scanning signal are still maintained at the first potential, and the data writing transistor T3 and the compensating transistor T4 are still maintained turned on. At this time, the data signal terminal D1 continues to output the data signal to the first node P1 through the data write transistor T3. And since the data signal terminal D1 outputs the data signal at the first potential to the first node P1 at the stage T11, the driving transistor T6 is turned on. In this stage T12, the dc power source ELVDD may be charged to the sensing signal line SENSE through the driving transistor T6 until the driving transistor T6 is turned off, and the charging time is typically about several hundred microseconds (μ s) to several milliseconds (ms). When the driving transistor T6 is turned off, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs thereof may be Vdata-Vth.
In addition, in the phases T11 and T12, the potential of the reset signal supplied from the reset signal terminal R1 and the potential of the emission control signal supplied from the emission control signal terminal EM are both kept at the second potential, and the reset transistor T1 and the emission control transistor T5 are both in the off state.
At stage t13, the external compensation circuit, i.e., the external compensation IC, provides the sampled signal (Hsync shown in fig. 10) with the first potential, and the external compensation IC (e.g., the analog-to-digital converter ADC in the external compensation IC) can start reading the potential on the sensing signal line SENSE. Further, the external compensation IC can calculate the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T6 based on the read potential. At this point, sensing of the threshold voltage Vth is completed, which may also be referred to as sampling.
Fig. 8 shows a timing diagram of the signal terminals during the mobility sensing (i.e., k sensing) phase. As shown in fig. 8, the mobility sensing phase also includes three phases t21, t22, and t23 in total. And like the Vth sensing stage, in the three stages, the potential of the first control signal is the first potential, the potential of the second control signal is the second potential, the first transistor M1 in the power IC is turned on, and the second transistor M2 is turned off. The dc power source terminal ELVDD is turned on with the light emitting element L1, and the dc power source terminal ELVDD outputs a dc power source signal at the first potential to the light emitting element L1.
With continued reference to FIG. 8, the timing of the phase t21 is the same as the timing of the phase t11, and the timing of the phase t23 is the same as the timing of the phase t13, which are not repeated herein. In the phase T22, the detection signal line SENSE is controlled to be in a flowing state, and the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor T6 is controlled to be fixed to Vdata-Vinit so that the driving transistor T6 is in a saturation operating region. In conjunction with the timing shown in fig. 8, the potentials of the first node P1 and the second node P2 change simultaneously at the stage T12, thereby ensuring that the driving transistor T6 can operate in the saturation region. And at the stage T12, only the potential of the scan signal provided by the scan signal terminal S1 is the first potential, and the compensation transistor T4 is turned on. The SENSE signal line SENSE is charged by a fixed current, and referring to fig. 8, the charging time may be represented as t. Further, at the stage T23, the external compensation IC may read the potential on the SENSE signal line SENSE and calculate the mobility k of the driving transistor T6 based on the read potential.
Optionally, the mobility k may satisfy:
k=2*Csense*(Vsense-Vinit)/t/(Vdata-Vinit)2. Where Csense is the capacitance on the SENSE signal line SENSE and Vsense is the voltage on the SENSE signal line SENSE.
Fig. 9 shows a timing chart of each signal terminal in the light emission driving phase. As shown in fig. 9, the light-emitting driving phase includes three phases, i.e., a reset phase t31, a data writing phase t32 and a light-emitting phase t33, in which the potential of the first control signal provided by the first switch control terminal SW1 is the second potential, the potential of the second control signal provided by the second switch control terminal SW2 is the first potential, the first transistor M1 in the power IC is turned off, and the second transistor M2 is turned on. Accordingly, the dc power supply terminal ELVSS is turned on with the light emitting element L1, and the dc power supply terminal ELVSS outputs a dc power supply signal at the second potential to the light emitting element L1. And the external compensation IC always provides the sampling signal at the second potential, and further, the external compensation IC does not read the potential of the sensing signal line SENSE.
With continued reference to fig. 9, in the reset phase T31, the potential of the reset signal provided by the reset signal terminal R1 and the potential of the scan signal may both be the first potential, and the reset transistor T1 and the compensation transistor T4 may both be turned on. The reference signal terminal Vref outputs the first reference signal at the second potential to the first node P1 through the reset transistor T1. The detection signal line SENSE outputs the second reference signal at the second potential to the second node P2 through the compensation transistor T4. Assuming that the potential of the first reference signal is Vref0 and the potential of the second reference signal is Vref1, the potential difference between the first node P1 and the second node P2 is: vref0-Vref 1. Namely, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor T6 is Vref0-Vref 1. In the reset period T31, the gate driving signal and the light emitting control signal are both at the second potential, and the data writing transistor T3 and the light emitting control transistor T5 are both turned off.
In the data writing phase T32, the potential of the gate driving signal jumps to the first potential, and the potential of the scan signal remains at the first potential, and the data writing transistor T3 and the compensation transistor T4 are both turned on. The data signal terminal D1 outputs a data signal to the first node P1 through the data write transistor T3. The detection signal line SENSE continues to output the second reference signal at the second potential to the second node P2 through the compensation transistor T4. And in the data writing period T32, the potential of the reset signal jumps to the second potential, the potential of the emission control signal is maintained at the second potential, and both the reset transistor T1 and the emission control transistor T5 are turned off.
In the light emitting period T33, the potential of the light emitting control signal jumps to the first potential, the light emitting control transistor T5 is turned on, and the second node P2 and the light emitting element L1 are turned on. The driving transistor T6 outputs a driving current generated based on the potential of the first node P1 and the potential of the dc power signal supplied from the dc power source ELVDD to the light emitting element L1 via the light emission controlling transistor T5, and the light emitting element L1 emits light. In the light-emitting period t33, the potential of the reset signal is maintained at the second potential, the potential of the gate drive signal jumps to the second potential, and the potential of the scan signal also jumps to the second potential. Reset transistor T1, data write transistor T3, and complementThe transistors T4 are all off. Optionally, the driving current I may satisfy: i-1/2 k (Vdata-Vref1-Vth)2
With reference to the timing shown in fig. 7 to 9, before entering the light emitting driving phase, the external compensation IC may compensate the data signal based on the calculated threshold voltage Vth and mobility k, so that the driving current finally output to the light emitting element L1 is independent of the threshold voltage Vth and the mobility k, thereby avoiding the shift of the threshold voltage Vth or the mobility k, and ensuring the display effect due to the influence on the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element L1.
In fig. 7 to 9, the first potential is represented by ON, and the second potential is represented by OFF. The threshold voltage sensing phase shown in fig. 7 and the mobility sensing phase shown in fig. 8 may be performed in a blanking phase, such as a vertical blanking (VBlank) phase. Alternatively, the display device may be turned off. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. For the pixel circuit shown in fig. 5, the timing diagrams of the various stages can refer to the timing diagrams shown in fig. 7 to fig. 9, and are not repeated herein. Compared with the internal compensation, the external compensation has a larger compensation range, can compensate the drift of the mobility, is not limited by the line period in the compensation time, and can be applied to high frame frequency driving.
In summary, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a driving method of a pixel circuit, in a reset phase, a reset circuit may output a reference signal for resetting a first node to a first node connected to a light-emitting driving circuit, a light-emitting control circuit may output a reference signal for resetting a second node to a second node connected to the light-emitting driving circuit, and the light-emitting control circuit may control on/off states of a detection signal line connected to an external compensation circuit and the second node. Therefore, by flexibly controlling the potential of each signal end, after threshold voltage is reliably compensated based on an external compensation technology, each pixel circuit enters a display stage of driving the light-emitting element to emit light under the same initial state. Thus, the problem of short-term afterimage caused by the hysteresis effect of the transistor is improved. The display substrate adopting the pixel circuit has good display effect.
