Description

Novel AMOLED pixel driving circuit and driving method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of display, and relates to a novel AMOLED pixel driving circuit and a driving method.
Background
An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Display device has many advantages of self-luminescence, low driving voltage, high luminous efficiency, short response time, high definition and contrast, a viewing angle of approximately 180 °, a wide temperature range, flexible Display, large-area full color Display, and the like, and is considered as a Display device with the most potential for development.
The OLED display device may be classified into two major categories, i.e., direct addressing and thin film transistor Matrix addressing, of a Passive Matrix OLED (PMOLED) and an Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) according to a driving method. The AMOLED has pixels arranged in an array, belongs to an active display type, has high luminous efficiency, and is generally used as a large-sized display device with high definition.
The AMOLED is a current-driven device, and when a current flows through an organic light emitting diode, the organic light emitting diode emits light, and the luminance is determined by the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode itself. Most of the existing Integrated circuits (Integrated Circuit ICs) only transmit voltage signals, so the pixel driving Circuit of the AMOLED needs to complete the task of converting the voltage signals into current signals. A conventional AMOLED pixel driving circuit is typically 2T1C, i.e. two thin film transistors plus a capacitor to convert a voltage into a current.
As shown in fig. 1, the conventional 2T1C pixel driving circuit for an AMOLED includes a first thin film transistor T10, a second thin film transistor T20, and a capacitor C, wherein the first thin film transistor T10 is a switching thin film transistor, the second thin film transistor T20 is a driving thin film transistor, and the capacitor C is a storage capacitor. Specifically, the gate of the first thin film transistor T10 is electrically connected to the Scan signal Scan, the source is electrically connected to the Data voltage Data, and the drain is electrically connected to the gate of the second thin film transistor T20 and one end of the capacitor C; the source electrode of the second thin film transistor T20 is electrically connected to the positive power voltage VDD0, and the drain electrode is electrically connected to the anode of the organic light emitting diode D0; the cathode of the organic light emitting diode D0 is electrically connected to the ground voltage GND 0; one end of the capacitor C is electrically connected to the drain of the first thin film transistor T10, and the other end is connected to the ground voltage GND 0. When the AMOLED displays, the Scan signal Scan controls the first thin film transistor T10 to be turned on, the Data voltage Data enters the gate of the second thin film transistor T20 and the capacitor C through the first thin film transistor T10, and then the first thin film transistor T10 is turned on, due to the storage effect of the capacitor C, the gate voltage of the second thin film transistor T20 can still keep the Data voltage, so that the second thin film transistor T20 is in a conducting state, and the driving current enters the organic light emitting diode D0 through the second thin film transistor T20 to drive the organic light emitting diode D0 to emit light.
The 2T1C pixel driving circuit for AMOLED of the conventional circuit described above is very sensitive to variations in threshold voltage and mobility of the thin film transistor. The threshold voltage and mobility of the second thin film transistor T20, i.e., the driving thin film transistor, may change with the operation time, thereby causing unstable light emission of the organic light emitting diode D0; further, the second thin film transistor T20 of each pixel, i.e., the driving thin film transistor, has a shift in threshold voltage and a change in mobility, which results in uneven light emission and brightness among the pixels. The non-uniformity of the AMOLED display brightness caused by using such a conventional 2T1C pixel drive circuit without compensation is about 50% or even higher.
Therefore, a new AMOLED pixel driving circuit is needed to solve the problem of non-uniform display brightness of the AMOLED.

The third thin film transistor T3 and the fourth thin film transistor T4 are turned on, the second thin film transistor T2 is always turned on, the gate and drain short of the second thin film transistor T2 keeps a diode connection mode, the first thin film transistor T1 and the fifth thin film transistor T5 are turned off, and the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are connected in parallel; the voltage at the first node a, i.e., the gate voltage of the driving thin film transistor T3, is still VDATA1_ H, the voltage at the second node B, i.e., the source voltage of the driving thin film transistor T3, is VDATA2-Vth + (C3/C2+ C3) VOLED, where C2 is the capacitance of the second capacitor C2, C3 is the capacitance of the third capacitor C3, VDATA1_ H is the high level of the first data voltage VDATA1, where VDATA2 is the level of the second data voltage VDATA2, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving thin film transistor T3 and the compensation thin film transistor T2, and VOLED is the anode voltage of the organic light emitting diode OLED; thereby making the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED independent of the threshold voltage of the third thin film transistor T3, avoiding the influence of the IR Drop, and simultaneously suppressing the influence of the mobility change of the third thin film transistor T3 on the current flowing through the light emitting diode OLED.
The threshold voltage magnitude and the variation tendency of the third thin film transistor T3, i.e., the driving thin film transistor, and the second thin film transistor T2, i.e., the compensating thin film transistor, are approximately the same.
It should be noted that, when the N-type thin film transistor is adopted as the driving thin film transistor according to the prior art, the current formula flowing through the organic light emitting diode is as follows:
IOLED=K(VGS_T3-Vth) 2
the IOLED is a current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED, K is a structural parameter of the driving thin film transistor T3, VGS _ T3 is a voltage difference between a gate and a source of the driving thin film transistor T3, Vth is a threshold voltage of the third thin film transistor T3 and the second thin film transistor T2, and at this time, a voltage difference between the gate and the source of the third thin film transistor T3 is VDATA1_ H-VDATA2+ Vth- (C3/C2+ C3) VOLED.
Thus, IOLED ═ K (VGS _ T3-Vth) 2 =K(VDATA1_H-VDATA2-(C3/C2+C3)VOLED) 2 Wherein C2 is the capacitance of the second capacitor, C3 is the capacitance of the third capacitor, VDATA1_ H is the high voltage level of the first data voltage VDATA1, VDATA2 is the voltage level of the second data voltage VDATA2, VOLED is the voltage across the organic light emitting diode OLED, for the thin film transistor with the same structure, the K value is relatively stable, the value of (C3/C2+ C3) VOLED is also relatively stable, so that the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED is independent of the threshold voltage of the third thin film transistor T3, the (C3/C2+ C3) VOLED can suppress the influence of the mobility change of the third thin film transistor on the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode, therefore, the threshold voltage and the mobility of the driving thin film transistor T3 can be effectively compensated, the stability of the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED is ensured, the brightness uniformity of the organic light emitting diode is ensured, and the display quality of the organic light emitting diode is improved.
In summary, the novel AMOLED pixel driving circuit designed by the present invention is a pixel driving circuit with a 5T3C structure and is matched with a specific driving timing sequence, and the influence of IR Drop is suppressed by directly controlling the gate and source voltages of the driving thin film transistor, i.e., the third thin film transistor, through the external data voltage; threshold voltage compensation is carried out by directly grabbing the threshold voltage of a compensation thin film transistor, namely a second thin film transistor; applying a part of the voltage of the organic light emitting diode OLED to the node B through the parallel connection of the third capacitor and the second capacitor for mobility compensation; by compensating the threshold voltage, the mobility and the IR Drop of the driving thin film transistor, the current flowing through the organic light-emitting diode is stable, and the light-emitting brightness of the organic light-emitting diode is ensured; the organic light emitting diode is controlled by the signal to have current passing only in the light emitting stage, so that unnecessary light emission of the organic light emitting diode is avoided, the display quality of the organic light emitting diode is improved, and the power consumption is reduced.
Finally, the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit the present invention, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions, and all of them should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
