Detailed Description
The embodiment of the application provides a field emission display pixel unit, and solves the technical problem of uneven brightness of the pixel unit in the prior art.
In order to better understand the technical solutions, the technical solutions will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments of the specification, and it should be understood that the embodiments and specific features of the embodiments of the present invention are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present application, and the technical features of the embodiments and examples of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, a field emission display pixel cell includes: the electron source comprises a gate electrode, an electron collecting electrode, an emission tip, and a driving circuit and a constant current source circuit which are matched.
The gate electrode is a circular electrode and is connected with the driving circuit; the electron collecting electrode is connected with the constant current source circuit; wherein the emission tip is disposed below an inner circumference of the gate electrode and the electron collection electrode is located above the gate electrode.
In order to compensate the problem of uneven brightness caused by the manufacturing distance deviation of the gate electrode and the emission tip in the process, the emission current of the emission tip is controlled by a constant current source circuit and is controlled at a certain value according to an externally input instruction. The emitter is realized by a cross current source circuit, and the constant current source circuit can provide the state of a grid control tube through negative feedback action to control the electric field of an emission tip.
The current of the emission tip is dynamically sensed by utilizing a driving circuit and a constant current source circuit, and the current of the emission tip is automatically regulated according to external input, the control of the current is automatically regulated by the constant current source circuit, the automatic regulation comprises the control of the voltage of a driving tube of a gate electrode, the voltage of the gate electrode is further changed, the electric fields of the gate electrode and the emission tip are finally changed, the emission efficiency of the emission tip is changed, and the emission number of electrons on the emission tip, namely the current flowing in the emission tip is controlled. The current flowing in the emission tip is controlled by the current source control circuit to compensate for the distance deviation between the gate electrode and the emission tip due to the process deviation, thereby unifying the emission efficiency between different pixels by controlling the current of the emission tip. Uniformity of pixel brightness is achieved.
Meanwhile, the emission tip is protected from being influenced by process deviation, and the phenomenon that the emission tip is burnt due to overhigh emissivity of certain pixels is avoided.
It should be noted that the increase of the current source control portion inevitably occupies the pixel area, thereby affecting the optical performance of the pixel. This embodiment utilizes the emission angle phenomenon between emission point and the electron collector, can the emission point with make drive circuit and constant current source circuit in the shadow of emission angle between the electron collecting electrode, like this can be when not influencing the pixel area integrated circuit part, along with the promotion of processing technology ability, drive circuit's line size constantly reduces, its territory area that occupies also correspondingly reduces, thereby cover the shared light emitting area who has of drive circuit constant current source circuit, and can not influence luminous effective area, reduce the influence to luminance.
Further, the driving circuit and the constant current source circuit are separated by an STI isolation process, and the STI isolation process is realized by the STI isolation in a standard silicon process.
The connection area of the emission tip and the driving circuit can be isolated by a shallow STI, and the high-doped region at the lower part of the emission tip is directly connected with the constant current source circuit. Due to the distance between the electron collecting electrode and the emission tip, the emission tip will generate an emission angle, so that the interconnection layer region of the circuit can be made outside the emission angle.
In the process, the driving voltage can be adjusted by controlling the distance between the gate metal and the emitting metal, and the discrete distance deviation in the manufacturing process can be compensated by the compensation circuit.
Generally, the driving circuit is connected with a driving circuit power supply, and the electron collecting electrode is connected with an electron collecting power supply.
Furthermore, a cover plate is arranged on the top of the electron collecting electrode, and a fluorescent layer is arranged on the cover plate.
Further, the gate electrode, the electron collecting electrode, the emission tip, the driving circuit, and the constant current source circuit are completed in the same process; and the emission angle design technology is utilized to realize that the circuit does not occupy the display area. The processing is completed at one time, so that the reassembly cost is saved, the technology of coating the fluorescent layer on the collector cover plate can realize color, and the mature process has low manufacturing cost.
