Description

Background
With the rise of devices such as intelligent wearable, VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and the like, consumers have higher demands for the performance of small-sized display panels on product devices.
The small-sized display device may employ technologies including: for example, LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) is a novel reflective display technology based On a single Crystal Silicon wafer, and utilizes the reflection of the back surface of the Liquid Crystal layer to improve the transmittance of the display device to achieve a larger light output, and the higher electron mobility of the single Crystal Silicon to achieve a higher resolution.
The Micro LED (light emitting diode) technology is a Micro LED technology, the LED structural design is subjected to thinning and microminiaturization treatment on a substrate through a Micro process technology, each LED unit reaches 1-10 micrometers, arrayed LED units are transferred to a circuit board in batches through a mass transfer technology, and after positive and negative grid-shaped electrodes which are vertically staggered are connected with positive and negative electrodes and are sequentially electrified, the imaging is lightened through a scanning mode, so that each pixel is independently addressed and independently driven to emit light.
The silicon-based Light Emitting unit comprises a silicon-based OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), and the micro display technology of the silicon-based OLED, namely the micro OLED technology, the basic Light Emitting principle of the silicon-based OLED technology is the phenomenon of Light emission caused by injection and recombination of current carriers, and the characteristics of the OLED are reserved. On the basis, the silicon-based OLED also utilizes a monocrystalline silicon substrate process of LCOS, and the light utilization efficiency is higher than that of a glass substrate. Achieving high PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density) is considered as the mainstream micro-display technology in the future.
In the prior art, the PPI of the display panel can reach 4000 by the current silicon-based OLED technology, and as the display performance of the consumer is further improved, the silicon-based OLED display also faces the following challenges:
although in the Micro OLED field, as the light emitting efficiency of EL (ELectroluminescence) is improved, the current flowing through the OLED is only required at nA (nano-ampere) level for the highest gray level, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the pixel circuit, and meanwhile, in order to ensure that the OLED does not emit light during writing data (data signal), the anode of the OLED should be reset, and at this time, if normal data (data signal) is written, a reset current is generated, and if data is large, the reset current is also large, even far exceeding the normal light emitting current. If 0 is written first and then normal data is written, the speed of the front-end interface is required to be improved, namely the data frequency of the front-end interface is doubled, the design difficulty is increased, the power consumption is further increased, and a serious challenge is provided for silicon-based products with ultrahigh PPI and ultrahigh integration level.
How to provide a silicon-based light-emitting unit which eliminates reset current and reduces power consumption on the basis of not improving the speed of a front-end interface is a problem to be solved urgently by technical personnel in the field.

The inventor of the present application has conducted research and found that a silicon-based OLED pixel circuit may include a 3T1C circuit structure, that is, the silicon-based OLED pixel circuit may include a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor and a storage capacitor, wherein the first transistor is a switching transistor for transmitting a data (data signal) to a GATE of the second transistor under the control of a scan signal (i.e., a GATE signal), the second transistor is a driving transistor, a drain of the second transistor is electrically connected to a first potential terminal, a source of the second transistor is electrically connected to an anode of an OLED, a GATE of the second transistor is electrically connected to a first ground terminal through the storage capacitor, the second transistor provides a required current for an OLED, the third transistor is a sense switching transistor, and a voltage value from a sense is transmitted to a compensation circuit under the control of the scan signal (i.e., the GATE signal). During data writing, the third transistor works in a sub-threshold region, the third transistor is in a linear following relationship between a g point (drain) and an s point (source), and the current of the second transistor is changed by writing data, so that the brightness of the OLED is adjusted.
The inventors of the present application have also found that Micro OLEDs, unlike large-sized OLEDs, emit light at currents on the order of 0.1uA (microampere) to tens of uA (microampere), require drive currents typically on the order of 1E-13 (minus 13 th power of 10) to 1E-9 (minus 9 th power of 10) amperes, and with such low currents and minimal dimensions for the second transistor (drive transistor), the second transistor (drive transistor) can only operate in the subthreshold region. The leakage of the CMOS transistor, which is usually implemented by a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) process, is on the order of 1E-12 (minus 12 times of 10) amperes, and the leakage of the CMOS transistor is more serious at high temperature, so that the first transistor (switch transistor), the second transistor (drive transistor), and the third transistor (sense switch transistor) of the silicon-based pixel circuit can only adopt a customized low-level leakage device.
When the PPI (Pixels Per inc, pixel density, i.e. the number of Pixels Per Inch) reaches more than 8000, it is not allowed to add any device in the pixel region except for the first transistor (switch transistor), the second transistor (driver transistor) and the third transistor (sense switch transistor) which require the minimum size of the device, and each additional device means that the PPI is at least 20%. Furthermore, for silicon-based OLEDs with resolutions of 4000 x 2000, the data writing time may be less than 1us (microseconds) in the face of higher and higher refresh rates (120 Hz or even higher) (the source employs the MUX scheme).
In the pixel circuit, the general operation principle and timing are as shown in fig. 1a, where Vg represents the gate voltage of the second transistor (driving transistor), G1 represents the scan signal for driving the first transistor (switching transistor), G2 represents the scan signal for driving the third transistor (sense switching transistor), vs represents the source voltage of the second transistor (driving transistor), and Vdata represents the data voltage.
As shown in fig. 1a, the specific working principle is as follows: during the period T1 (reset time ), the scan signal G1 and the scan signal G2 turn on the first transistor (switch tube) and the third transistor (sense switch tube) simultaneously, the data voltage Vdata is given to 0, and the source voltage Vs of the second transistor (driving tube) is pulled down to 0 by the scan signal G2. During the period T2 (data writing time), data is raised from 0V to the target data, at this time, the scan signal G2 is pulled low, the third transistor (sense switch tube) is turned off, the second transistor (drive tube) is gradually turned on due to the data writing, the gate voltage Vs of the second transistor (drive tube) is gradually raised to the target value, and the OLED is turned on and emits light. In the period of T3 (OLED light-emitting time), the scanning signal G1 is pulled low, the first transistor (switching tube) is turned off, and the gate voltage Vg of the second transistor (driving tube) is maintained stable by the capacitor electrically connected to the gate of the second transistor (driving tube), so as to ensure that the OLED brightness is not changed.
The disadvantage of this timing sequence is that in a period (that is, the time for turning on the scanning signal of a row of pixel circuits is a period, that is, the data writing stage of a row of pixel circuits), data needs to be written twice (once is 0, once is normal data), which is very high for the high resolution PPI-high silicon substrate, writing data twice in a period is equivalent to doubling the data amount, and the speed is doubled, which is not favorable for further increasing the refresh rate of the display panel.
Further, the inventor of the present application has found that a silicon-based OLED pixel circuit adopts a 4T1C circuit structure, that is, a fourth transistor electrically connected to a third transistor (sense switch) is added to the silicon-based OLED pixel circuit, and the four transistors and a storage capacitor together form a silicon-based OLED pixel circuit with a reset function.
As shown in fig. 1b, the specific working principle is as follows: during the period T1 (reset time ), data writing and OLED anode reset are performed simultaneously, which is equivalent to that data writing is only needed once in one period (that is, the time for turning on the scanning signal of a row of pixel circuits is one period, that is, the data writing phase of a row of pixel circuits), and is the current main stream direction.
However, a major problem of this timing sequence is that during the period T1 (reset time ), since the first transistor (switch tube) and the second transistor (drive tube) are turned on simultaneously, a large current flows through the second transistor (drive tube), the third transistor (sense switch tube) and the fourth transistor until the ground electrically connected to the fourth transistor, and this current is related to the written data value, and can reach a maximum level of 100uA (microampere), and assuming that there are 4000 pixels in a row, it is equivalent to a current of 400mA (milliamp) during the period of resetting the pixels in the row. The reset is required for each row of pixels, that is, the scan signal G3 driving the fourth transistor is always on during the whole display period, and the source voltage Vs of the second transistor (driving transistor) of the pixels in different rows is continuously reset, which is always present. The fourth transistor is designed outside the AA (active Area, generally referred to as the Area where the pattern is displayed) region for high PPI, and the number of the fourth transistor is the same as that of the sub-pixels of one row.
In order to reduce the current flowing through the second transistor (driving transistor), the third transistor (sense switch transistor) and the fourth transistor during data writing, reduce power consumption, or not increase the data writing frequency, the present application provides a pixel driving device of a silicon-based light emitting unit, a method thereof, and a display panel, which aim to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments. These several specific embodiments may be combined with each other below, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment of the present application provides a pixel driving device of a silicon-based light emitting unit, which has a schematic structural diagram, as shown in fig. 2, and includes: a selection circuit 1 (i.e., MUX circuit in the figure), a pixel circuit group 2, and a Reset circuit 3 (i.e., reset circuit in the figure).
Specifically, the selection circuit 1 (i.e., MUX circuit in the figure) includes at least one output terminal; the Pixel circuit group 2 includes at least one Pixel circuit 21 (i.e., pixel shown in the figure) of the same row; the Reset circuit 3 (i.e., reset circuit in the figure) includes at least one Reset sub-circuit 31; each output terminal of the selection circuit 1 (i.e., MUX circuit in the figure) is electrically connected to a corresponding Pixel circuit 21 (i.e., pixel in the figure); each output terminal is electrically connected to a corresponding reset sub-circuit 31. Here, rst is a reset control signal for controlling the on and off of each reset sub-circuit 31.
In the first phase of the data writing phase of the Pixel circuit row to which the Pixel circuit group 2 belongs, each reset sub-circuit 31 is turned on, the potentials of the output ends of the selection circuit 1 (i.e. the MUX circuit in the figure) are all clamped at the reference potential (i.e. Vref in the figure), and each Pixel circuit 21 (i.e. the Pixel in the figure) is reset according to the reference potential (i.e. Vref in the figure); in the second phase of the data writing phase, each reset sub-circuit 31 is turned off, and each output terminal of the selection circuit 1 (i.e., MUX circuit) time-divisionally writes each data signal to each Pixel circuit 21 (i.e., pixel shown in the figure).
According to the pixel driving device of the silicon-based light-emitting unit provided by the embodiment of the application, by arranging the selection circuit 1 and the reset circuit 3, the first stage of the data writing stage of the pixel circuit row to which the pixel circuit group 2 belongs can be realized, each reset sub-circuit 31 is started, and each pixel circuit 21 is reset according to the reference potential; in the second stage of the data writing stage, each reset sub-circuit 31 is closed, each output end of the selection circuit 1 writes each data signal into each pixel circuit 21 in a time-sharing manner, that is, the pixel circuit row to which the pixel circuit group 2 belongs can be reset simultaneously, and then the data signal is written into each pixel circuit 21 in a time-sharing manner, so that the reset current is eliminated and the power consumption is reduced on the basis of not increasing the speed of the front-end interface. Meanwhile, the reset current is eliminated (namely the reset current is 0), power consumption and heat generation caused by the reset current are eliminated, and the problem of heat dissipation is favorably solved.
Optionally, the silicon-based Light Emitting unit of the embodiment of the present application includes a silicon-based OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), and the silicon-based OLED has characteristics of low power consumption, fast response speed, wide viewing angle, high resolution, and the like, and meanwhile, the Light utilization efficiency of the silicon-based OLED may reach over 40%.
Alternatively, the silicon-based OLED integrates a source driver, a pixel circuit, and a TCON (logic board, also called a control board) on the display panel.
The pixel driving device of the silicon-based light-emitting unit has the advantages of being small in size, convenient to carry, energy-saving, efficient, stable and the like, and meanwhile can be produced in batches, so that the cost is reduced. The application scene can be expanded to ultra-high resolution large screen displays, automobiles and the like.
With reference to fig. 2, the operation principle of the pixel driving device of the silicon-based light emitting unit provided in the embodiment of the present application is described as an example, which is as follows:
the selection circuit 1 (i.e. MUX circuit in the figure) receives the data signal from the front-end digital-to-analog conversion circuit 4 (i.e. DAC), assuming that 1: the 20 MUX (i.e. MUX circuit includes 20 output terminals) requires that the speed of DAC be raised by 20 times, and at the same time, the number of DAC can be reduced to 1/20 of original number, so that the front-end interface speed can be kept unchanged. The MUX outputs CH < 1. The selection circuit 1 (i.e. the MUX circuit in the figure) may include 20 output terminals, and of course, other numbers of output terminals, such as 30 output terminals, 40 output terminals, etc., may also be included according to actual design and application, and the present application is not particularly limited.
By adopting the selection circuit 1 (i.e. the MUX circuit in the figure), the embodiment of the present application can not only reduce the number of the front-end digital-to-analog conversion circuits 4 (i.e. the DACs) and thus reduce the area, but also reset 20 corresponding to the MUXs simultaneously and then write data in a time-sharing manner. The "writing data in a time-sharing manner" may be a manner of sequentially writing data, or may be another time-sharing manner, and the present application is not limited in particular.
Alternatively, assuming that the gate on time of each row of pixel circuits 21 is 5.2us (microseconds), and the refresh rate of the digital-to-analog conversion circuit 4 (i.e., DAC) is 4Mbps (4 megabits per second is transmitted), each data write time is 0.25us (microseconds), and the CH < 1. As shown in fig. 6, MUX <1 n > is a MUX control signal, n is a positive integer greater than 1, GATE _1 is a first row GATE signal, and GATE _2 is a second row GATE signal, assuming n =20, MUX < 1. 0.2us (microseconds) before the GATE (GATE _ 1) in the first row is turned on, rst is a high level signal, CH <1 >.

The inventors of the present application have also found that for ultra-high PPI, which means very small sub-pixel area, on the one hand the number of transistors to be used is small, not more than 3T (3 transistors), and that the size of each transistor is required to be minimized, compressing the size of sub-pixels to a few um 2 On the order of (micrometers squared), this would have several problems as follows:
first, the capacitance area is also very small and cannot exceed the sub-pixel area, the capacitance value of the capacitor may be only a few fF (1E-15 method, i.e., 10 to the power of-15), the small capacitance can cause serious leakage, the voltage cannot be kept constant within one frame time, and the display problem can be generated. This may alleviate the leakage problem to some extent by capacitive multiplexing techniques, but at the cost of increasing the data refresh rate, which would otherwise sacrifice display performance. If the capacitance value per unit area cannot be increased, it is also a breakthrough direction to reduce the leakage of the transistor (usually, MOS transistor), which can change the doping concentration in the manufacturing process and reduce the leakage of the MOS transistor to the level of 1E-18 (power of-18 of 10), and this is done at the cost of increasing the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor, and if the Vth (threshold voltage) of the conventional 5V MOS transistor is about 0.7V (volt), the Vth (threshold voltage) of the MOS transistor with ultra-low leakage may be about 1V (volt), and the increase of Vth (threshold voltage) may cause some problems, such as reducing the gray scale voltage transmission range.
Secondly, in order to realize the ultra-high PPI, only a single transistor can be used as a pixel circuit switch, for example, an NMOS is used, the NMOS has a threshold loss when transmitting a high voltage, the larger the threshold voltage is, the larger the level loss is, and in addition, if the substrate bias effect of the MOS transistor is considered, the more serious the level loss is, the compensation space is reduced, and the display effect of a high gray scale is affected.
Alternatively, the inventors of the present application have also found that silicon-based OLED pixel circuits are typically implemented using CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology, which is at least a four-terminal device, other than a TFT (Thin Film Transistor), except for G (gate), S (source), D (drain) and B (body), and that in order to increase PPI as much as possible, the pixel circuits can be built with a minimum number of MOS transistors.
Since only a single transistor is used as the data transmission switch, for example, an MOS transistor is used as the data transmission switch, it can be known from the above that the MOS transistor inevitably has a threshold loss, for example, the data range is 0.5 to 5.5V, and if the threshold voltage Vth =1V of the switching transistor of the pixel circuit is assumed, the threshold voltage is increased because the MOS transistor reduces device leakage in the manufacturing process, the Vth (threshold voltage) of the MOS transistor is not only related to the doping concentration in the process, but also related to the voltage difference between B (substrate) and S (source), the larger the absolute value of the voltage difference between BS (substrate and source) is, the substrate bias effect of the MOS transistor is more serious, and in an extreme case, the maximum value of the Vth (threshold voltage) of the switching transistor of the pixel circuit may be as high as 1.8V, the gate of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit is at the highest level of only 3.2V (assuming that the high level of the scanning signal applied to the gate of the switching transistor of the pixel circuit is 5V), and in this case, the data range is 0.5 to 3.2V, the highest luminance requirement cannot be satisfied, and the compensation space is not only.
The inventor of the present application considers that, by means of a short circuit between B and S, a substrate bias effect is avoided, such that Vth (threshold voltage) of an MOS transistor (a switching transistor, which is a data transmission switch) is always stabilized at 1V, and compared with a case that a B (substrate) terminal of the MOS transistor in the prior art is electrically connected to a ground terminal (a substrate B of the MOS transistor manufactured by a CMOS process in the prior art is electrically connected to the ground terminal), a data range is increased by 0.8V, such that the data range is changed from 0.5-3.2V to 0.5-4V.
Optionally, assuming that the data voltage corresponding to the minimum brightness is 0.5V and the data voltage corresponding to the maximum brightness is 4V, if BS (substrate and source) short circuit is not adopted, the maximum brightness of the display panel cannot be realized, and if the sampling BS (substrate and source) short circuit, the maximum brightness of the display panel can be realized, but the high gray scale compensation space is only 0V (offset of K value and Vth cannot be compensated).
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments.
The embodiment of the application is further improved on the basis of the short circuit of the BS (substrate and source) of the switching tube of the pixel circuit, so that the highest brightness of the display panel can be realized, a compensation space can be provided at the highest gray scale, and the display effect is improved.

The light emitting element may be an OLED, and of course, other light emitting elements may also be used, and the application is not limited thereto.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 4, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M3, and the third transistor M2 all use NMOS transistors, and certainly, PMOS transistors may also be used to implement the above functions, which is not particularly limited in this application, and the above transistors are implemented by using a CMOS process.

It should be noted that, in the prior art, the substrate B of the MOS transistor implemented by using the CMOS process is electrically connected to the first ground GND, and since the first transistor M1 is a 5V device, the maximum potential of the gate G of the first transistor M1 (switching transistor) can only be 5V.
In the embodiment of the application, after the BS (substrate and source) of the first transistor M1 (switch tube) of the pixel circuit 21 is short-circuited (and B is disconnected from the first ground terminal GND), the data is ensured to be 0.5V at the lowest, so that the maximum potential of the gate of the first transistor M1 (switch tube) can be raised to 5.5V, and therefore it is ensured that the voltage difference of any 2 ends of the first transistor M1 of the four-terminal device adopting the CMOS process does not exceed 5V, and since the maximum voltage of the scanning signal G1 is raised by 0.5V, the maximum voltage which can be transmitted by the first transistor M1 (switch tube) is also raised by 0.5V, that is, the data range is changed to 0.5-4.5V, which not only can meet the requirement of the highest brightness, but also has a compensation space of 0.5V at the highest gray scale, thereby improving the display effect.
