Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
As mentioned in the background art, the existing display panel has bad display mura, which affects the display effect of the display panel.
Based on the above technical problems, the present embodiment proposes the following solutions:
fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the display panel includes a plurality of light emitting units including light emitting elements D1 and their corresponding pixel circuits 1. The display panel further includes a first power signal line ELVDD, a second power signal line ELVSS, and an initialization signal line Vref. Each pixel circuit 1 is connected to a first power signal line ELVDD, a second power signal line ELVSS, and an initialization signal line Vref, respectively. In each light emitting unit, the pixel circuit 1 includes a plurality of thin film transistors and a storage capacitor, the thin film transistors may include a driving transistor T1 and a switching transistor, a first power signal line ELVDD is connected to a first terminal of the driving transistor T1, a second terminal of the driving transistor T1 is connected to an anode of the light emitting element D1, and a cathode of the light emitting element D1 is connected to a second power signal line ELVSS. The driving transistor T1 can generate a driving current to drive the light emitting element D1 connected to the pixel circuit 1 to emit light, and the switching transistor mainly plays a role of switching. The first power signal line ELVDD and the second power signal line ELVSS serve as power sources for driving the transistor T1 to generate a driving current, so that the driving transistor T1 generates the driving current to drive the light emitting element D1 to emit light.
Referring to fig. 1, the display panel may further include a plurality of Scan signal lines Scan 1-Scan n, a plurality of data signal lines Vdata 1-Vdata n, a plurality of light emission control signal lines EM 1-EM n, and a connection terminal 300, wherein the pixel circuit 1 is disposed in a region defined by the Scan signal lines Scan and Vdata intersecting each other, a Scan signal is input to the corresponding pixel circuit 1 through the Scan signal lines Scan, the pixel circuit 1 is connected to the data signal lines Vdata electrically connected thereto under the action of the Scan signal input from the Scan signal lines Scan electrically connected thereto, the connection terminal 300 may be connected to a driving chip, the driving chip inputs a data signal to the corresponding pixel circuit 1 through the connection terminal 300, and a voltage of the data signal corresponds to a driving voltage to determine a light emission luminance of the light emitting element D1, that is, a display gray scale of the light emitting element D1 is determined. It should be noted that the driving transistor, the switching transistor, and the storage capacitor may form the pixel circuit 1 in various forms in various connection relations. The pixel circuit 1 shown in fig. 2 is only an example, and other forms of pixel circuits are also possible, such as a 3T1C pixel circuit, a 7T1C pixel circuit, an 8T2C pixel circuit, etc., where T represents a transistor and C represents a capacitor. Fig. 2 exemplarily shows a case of a 7T1C pixel circuit, and is not limited to the pixel circuit 1.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the first power signal line ELVDD may be used to transmit the first power signal and the second power signal line ELVSS may be used to transmit the second power signal. The voltage on the first power signal line ELVDD is generally a high level voltage, and the voltage on the second power signal line ELVSS is generally a low level voltage. In the light emitting stage, the first power signal on the first power signal line ELVDD is applied to the first pole of the driving transistor T1, the second power signal on the second power signal line ELVSS is applied to the second pole, e.g., the second pole is the cathode, of the light emitting element D1, and the first power signal and the second power signal serve as the power source for generating the driving current for the driving transistor T1, so that the driving transistor T1 generates the driving current to drive the light emitting element D1 to emit light. The first power supply signal line ELVDD may be a signal line directly connected to one pole (e.g., drain or source) of the driving transistor T1 in the pixel circuit 1, or a signal line indirectly connected to one pole of the driving transistor T1 in the pixel circuit 1 through a switching transistor (e.g., light emission control transistor), and the second power supply signal line ELVSS may be a signal line connected to the cathode of the light emitting element D1. The initialization signal line Vref may be used to transmit an initialization signal to the pixel circuit 1.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the display panel may include a plurality of pixel circuits 1, the pixel circuits 1 for driving the light emitting elements D1 to emit light, and the pixel circuits 1 control the light emitting brightness of the light emitting elements D1 by controlling the driving current flowing through the light emitting elements D1.
Referring to fig. 2, a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention may correspond to a specific circuit structure of the pixel circuit 1 in the display panel shown in fig. 1, such as a 7T1C pixel circuit. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the pixel circuit 1 includes a driving transistor T1, a first initializing transistor T4, a second initializing transistor T7, a third transistor T2, a fourth transistor T5, a fifth transistor T6, a sixth transistor T3, and a storage capacitor C1. Fig. 2 exemplarily shows a case where the sixth transistor T3 is a double gate transistor including the transistor T3-1 and the transistor T3-2, and the first initialization transistor T4 is a double gate transistor including the transistor T4-1 and the transistor T4-2.
In the initialization stage, the Scan signal input by the first Scan signal line Scan1 may control the first initialization transistor T4 to be turned on, so as to write the initialization signal input by the initialization signal line Vref into the storage capacitor C1 and the gate of the driving transistor T1.
In the data writing stage, the Scan signal input from the third Scan signal line Scan3 may control the second initializing transistor T7 to be turned on to transmit the initializing signal input from the initializing signal line Vref to the anode of the light emitting element D1 to initialize the anode of the light emitting element D1.

In the light emitting stage, the light emission control signal input from the light emission control signal line EM may control the fourth transistor T5 and the fifth transistor T6 to be turned on, and the first power signal and the second power signal serve as power sources for generating driving currents for the driving transistor T1, so that the driving transistor T1 generates driving currents to drive the light emitting element D1 to emit light.
Since the coupling capacitance C2 exists between the source and the gate of the driving transistor T1 in the pixel circuit 1, the coupling capacitance C3 exists between the drain and the gate of the driving transistor T1, the coupling capacitance C4 exists between the source of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM, and the coupling capacitance C5 exists between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM. The coupling capacitance C4 existing between the source of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM is a parasitic capacitance, and the coupling capacitance C5 existing between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM is a parasitic capacitance.
Due to process fluctuation, the coupling capacitance C4 existing between the source of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM and the coupling capacitance C5 existing between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM of the different pixel circuits 1 are also different. The coupling effect of the capacitor may cause a change in the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1, and the coupling capacitance C4 between the source of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM of the different pixel circuits 1 and the coupling capacitance C5 between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM are different, which causes an inconsistency in the gate voltage of the driving transistor T1 of the different pixel circuits 1, and an inconsistency in the emission brightness of the different light emitting elements D1, which causes a display mura defect in the display panel, and affects the display effect of the display panel.
Fig. 3 is a schematic view of another display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first scan circuit 10, where the first scan circuit 10 is configured to generate a light emission control signal; a light emission control signal line EM connected to the signal output terminal em_out of the first scan circuit 10, the light emission control signal line EM being for transmitting a light emission control signal; a light-emitting clock signal line ECK connected to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10, the light-emitting clock signal line ECK being for transmitting a light-emitting clock signal to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10; the light emitting clock signal line ECK includes a first wire 101 and a second wire 102, an input end of the second wire 102 is connected to a first end of the first wire 101, an output end of the second wire 102 is connected to the clock signal input end CLK of the first scan circuit 10, and a cross-sectional area of one wire of the first wire 101 and the second wire 102 is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the other wire to extend a transition time of the light emitting control signal.
Specifically, the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is connected to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10, the first scan circuit 10 generates a light-emitting control signal according to the light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the light-emitting clock signal line ECK, and transmits the light-emitting control signal to the light-emitting control signal line EM through the signal output terminal em_out of the first scan circuit 10, the light-emitting clock signal can control the transition speed of the light-emitting control signal, and the light-emitting control signal line EM transmits the light-emitting control signal to the pixel circuit 1. The light emission control signal inputted from the light emission control signal line EM may control the fourth transistor T5 and the fifth transistor T6 of the pixel circuit 1 to be turned on, and the first power signal line ELVDD and the second power signal line ELVSS serve as power sources for generating driving currents for the driving transistor T1, so that the driving transistor T1 generates driving currents to drive the light emitting element D1 to emit light. The display panel may include a plurality of light-emitting clock signal lines ECK, and fig. 3 exemplarily illustrates a case where the display panel includes two light-emitting clock signal lines ECK1 and ECK 2.
The input end of the second wire 102 is connected to the first end of the first wire 101, the output end of the second wire 102 is connected to the clock signal input end CLK of the first scan circuit 10, the second end of the first wire 101 is connected to the connection terminal 300, and the driving chip transmits the light-emitting clock signal to the clock signal input end CLK of the first scan circuit 10 through the connection terminal 300 and through the first wire 101 and the second wire 102.
The cross-sectional area of one of the first and second wirings 101 and 102 is smaller than that of the other, increasing the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK. Since the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is increased, the delay of the light-emitting clock signal is increased. The delay of the light-emitting clock signal increases, and the response speed of the corresponding first scan circuit 10 becomes slow, thereby increasing the transition time of the light-emitting control signal. The emission clock signal lengthens the transition time of the emission control signal, thereby making the amount of charge per unit time of the emission control signal transmitted by the emission control signal line EM smaller. Since the coupling capacitance has the effect of passing high frequency resistance and low frequency, the charge amount in unit time of the light emission control signal becomes smaller, and the coupling effect of the capacitance can be weakened, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance C4 existing between the source electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the light emission control signal line EM and the coupling capacitance C5 existing between the drain electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the light emission control signal line EM.
The coupling capacitance C4 between the source of the driving transistor T1 of the pixel circuit 1 and the emission control signal line EM is reduced, so that the difference between the coupling capacitances C4 between the source of the driving transistor T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 and the emission control signal line EM becomes smaller. The smaller coupling capacitance C5 between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM makes the difference of the coupling capacitance C5 between the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the emission control signal line EM of the different pixel circuits 1 smaller, so that the difference between the gate voltages of the driving transistors T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 is reduced by the influence of the parasitic capacitance, the uniformity of the emission brightness of the light emitting elements D1 of the different pixel circuits 1 is improved, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
The display panel provided by the embodiment comprises the first wiring and the second wiring by arranging the luminous clock signal wire, wherein the cross section area of one of the first wiring and the second wiring is smaller than that of the other wiring, and the resistance of the luminous clock signal wire is increased. Since the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line is increased to increase the delay of the light-emitting clock signal, the delay of the light-emitting clock signal is increased, and the response speed of the corresponding first scan circuit is slowed down to increase the transition time of the light-emitting control signal. The light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the light-emitting clock signal line can prolong the jump time of the light-emitting control signal, so that the charge amount in unit time of the light-emitting control signal is reduced. The amount of charge per unit time of the light emission control signal becomes smaller, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance existing between the source of the driving transistor and the light emission control signal line and the coupling capacitance existing between the drain of the driving transistor and the light emission control signal line, and further reducing the difference between gate voltages of the driving transistors of different pixel circuits due to the influence of parasitic capacitance. The arrangement improves the consistency of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of different pixel circuits and improves the display effect of the display panel.
Optionally, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of the above embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, one of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 includes a serpentine trace, and the other trace includes a linear trace. It should be noted that fig. 3 and fig. 4 only exemplarily illustrate a case where the first trace 101 includes a serpentine trace and the second trace 102 includes a linear trace, which is not limited in any way.
Specifically, one of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 includes a serpentine trace, and the other trace includes a linear trace. The serpentine routing may increase the length of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK, and thus the arrangement may further increase the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK. Since the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is increased, the delay of the light-emitting clock signal is increased. The delay of the light-emitting clock signal increases, and the response speed of the corresponding first scan circuit 10 becomes slow, thereby increasing the transition time of the light-emitting control signal. The emission clock signal lengthens the transition time of the emission control signal, thereby making the amount of charge per unit time of the emission control signal transmitted by the emission control signal line EM smaller. Since the coupling capacitance has the effect of passing high frequency resistance and low frequency, the charge amount in unit time of the light emission control signal becomes smaller, and the coupling effect of the capacitance can be weakened, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance C4 existing between the source electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the light emission control signal line EM and the coupling capacitance C5 existing between the drain electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the light emission control signal line EM.
The coupling capacitance C4 between the source electrode of the driving transistor T1 of the pixel circuit 1 and the light-emitting control signal line EM is reduced, so that the difference between the coupling capacitance C4 between the source electrode of the driving transistor T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 and the light-emitting control signal line EM is reduced, the difference between the grid voltages of the driving transistors T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 is reduced due to the influence of parasitic capacitance, the uniformity of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements D1 of the different pixel circuits 1 is further improved, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 4 based on the above embodiment, the first trace 101 includes a serpentine trace S and the second trace 102 includes a linear trace L.
Specifically, the first trace 101 may include a serpentine trace S, and the first trace 101 may include a serpentine trace S and a linear trace L. The second trace 102 includes a linear trace L, where the linear trace L may be a combination of one or more segments, and is not limited in any way. The second trace 102 is configured to stably output the light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the first trace 101 to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10, so as to prolong the transition time of the rising edge and the falling edge of the light-emitting control signal.
By setting the first trace 101 to include the serpentine trace S, the second trace 102 includes the linear trace L, and since the resistance of the second trace 102 including the linear trace L is smaller, the resistance of the first trace 101 including the serpentine trace S is larger, so that the delay of the light-emitting clock signal output by the driving chip is increased after passing through the first trace 101 having a larger resistance. The delayed light-emitting clock signal is output to the clock signal input terminal of the first scan circuit 10 through the second trace 102 with smaller resistance. The second wirings 102 with smaller resistance make the light-emitting clock signals received by the first scanning circuits 10 corresponding to the pixel circuits 1 of different rows as identical as possible, so that the light-emitting control signals among the pixel circuits 1 of different rows are consistent as much as possible. The second trace 102 with smaller resistance can reduce the voltage drop between different output ends, so that the light-emitting clock signals output to the clock signal input ends of the first scanning circuits 10 are stable, the jump time of the rising edge and the falling edge of the light-emitting control signals is prolonged, the light-emitting control signals among the pixel circuits 1 of different rows are consistent as much as possible, and the display effect of the display panel is further improved.
Optionally, in addition to the foregoing embodiment, the cross-sectional area of one of the first trace and the second trace is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the other trace includes at least one of: the width of one of the first wire and the second wire is smaller than that of the other wire, and the thickness of one of the first wire and the second wire is smaller than that of the other wire.
The thickness direction of the first trace and the second trace refers to the thickness direction of the display panel.
Alternatively, in the case where the width of one of the first and second traces is smaller than the width of the other trace, with continued reference to fig. 1 or 4, the width of the first trace 101 is smaller than the width of the second trace 102. The thicknesses of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 may be the same or different, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, the width of the first trace 101 may be set smaller than the width of the second trace 102, so that on one hand, the resistance of the first trace 101 is further increased, and the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is increased, thereby increasing the delay of the light-emitting clock signal. The delay of the light emission clock signal increases, and the response speed of each corresponding first scanning circuit 10 becomes slow, thereby increasing the transition time of the light emission control signal. The light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the light-emitting clock signal line ECK can make the transition time of the light-emitting control signal longer, so that the electric charge amount in unit time of the light-emitting control signal is smaller. Thereby, the coupling capacitance between the source electrode of each light emission control signal line EM 1-EM n and the driving transistor and the coupling capacitance between the drain electrode of each light emission control signal line EM 1-EM n and the driving transistor are further reduced, and further, the difference between gate voltages caused by the influence of parasitic capacitance on the driving transistors of different pixel circuits is reduced. The arrangement improves the consistency of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of different pixel circuits and improves the display effect of the display panel.

And the second trace 102 with smaller resistance can reduce the voltage drop between different output ends, so that the light-emitting clock signals output to the clock signal input ends of the first scanning circuits 10 are stable, the light-emitting control signals output by the first scanning circuits 10 connected with the second trace 102 are consistent as much as possible, the consistency of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of different pixel circuits is further improved, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.

Alternatively, if the width of one of the first and second wires is smaller than the width of the other wire, and the thickness of one of the first and second wires is smaller than the thickness of the other wire, in this case, the wire with the smaller width and the wire with the smaller thickness may be the same wire, and the wire with the larger width and the wire with the larger thickness may be the other wire.

The number of the loop-shaped sections 111 may be set according to the space of the display panel. As long as the same resistance of each light-emitting clock signal line is ensured.

Alternatively, the narrower of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 may have a width ranging from 0.01 μm to 10 μm, based on the above-described embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 3 to 6.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, in conjunction with fig. 3 to 6, a thickness range of the trace having a smaller thickness of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 includes: 0.01 μm to 10 μm.
Specifically, the narrower width of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 or the smaller thickness of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 may make the narrower or thinner trace of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 have the greatest possible resistance. The narrower width range of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 in which the light-emitting clock signal line ECK may be disposed may include 0.01 μm to 10 μm, or the smaller thickness range of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102 in which the light-emitting clock signal line ECK may be disposed may include 0.01 μm to 10 μm, which is convenient for process fabrication and satisfies the need of increasing the resistance of the narrower one of the first trace 101 and the second trace 102. Since the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is increased, the delay of the light-emitting clock signal is increased. The delay of the light-emitting clock signal increases, and the response speed of the corresponding first scan circuit 10 becomes slow, thereby increasing the transition time of the light-emitting control signal. The light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the light-emitting clock signal line ECK prolongs the transition time of the light-emitting control signal, so that the amount of charge per unit time of the light-emitting control signal becomes smaller. The arrangement can reduce the coupling capacitance between the source electrode of the driving transistor and the light-emitting control signal line EM and the coupling capacitance between the drain electrode of the driving transistor and the light-emitting control signal line EM, thereby reducing the difference between grid voltages caused by the influence of parasitic capacitance on the driving transistors of different pixel circuits, further improving the consistency of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of different pixel circuits and improving the display effect of the display panel.
Alternatively, on the basis of the above-described embodiments, with reference to fig. 3 to 6, the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is less than or equal to 10kΩ.
Specifically, the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is set to be smaller than or equal to 10kΩ, so that the situation that the rising edge and the falling edge of the light-emitting control signal of the display panel are too long due to the fact that the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is too large can be avoided, and the display panel is guaranteed to have a good display effect. The resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK can be increased, so that the difference between grid voltages caused by the influence of parasitic capacitance on the driving transistors of different pixel circuits is reduced, the uniformity of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of the different pixel circuits is further improved, the mura defect of the display panel is solved, and the display effect of the display panel is further improved.
Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. On the basis of the above embodiment, referring to fig. 8 and 9, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the invention includes a first scan circuit 10, where the first scan circuit 10 is used to generate a light emission control signal; emission control signal lines EM 1 to EM n connected to the signal output terminal em_out of the first scan circuit 10, the emission control signal lines being for transmitting emission control signals; a light-emitting clock signal line ECK connected to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10, the light-emitting clock signal line ECK being for transmitting a light-emitting clock signal to the clock signal input terminal CLK of the first scan circuit 10; the light-emitting clock signal line ECK includes a serpentine trace S for extending the transition time of the light-emitting control signal.
Specifically, the light-emitting clock signal line ECK is provided with the serpentine trace S, so that the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK can be increased. The delay of the light-emitting clock signal is increased due to the increase of the resistance of the light-emitting clock signal line ECK, so that the light-emitting clock signal can prolong the jump time of the light-emitting control signal, and the charge amount in unit time of the light-emitting control signal transmitted by the light-emitting control signal line is reduced. Since the coupling capacitance has the effect of passing high frequency resistance and low frequency, the charge amount in unit time of the light emission control signal becomes smaller, the coupling effect of the capacitance can be weakened, and the difference between the source of the driving transistor T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 and the coupling capacitance C4 between the light emission control signal lines becomes smaller. Therefore, the difference of the coupling capacitance C5 between the drain electrode of the driving transistor T1 of the different pixel circuits 1 and the light-emitting control signal line is reduced, the uniformity of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting element D1 of the different pixel circuits 1 is improved, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
The display panel provided by the embodiment comprises the snakelike wiring through the arrangement of the light-emitting clock signal line, so that the jump time of the light-emitting control signal can be prolonged by the light-emitting clock signal transmitted by the light-emitting clock signal line, and the charge amount in unit time of the light-emitting control signal is reduced. The amount of charge per unit time of the light emission control signal becomes smaller, thereby reducing the coupling capacitance existing between the source of the driving transistor and the light emission control signal line and the coupling capacitance existing between the drain of the driving transistor and the light emission control signal line, and further reducing the difference between gate voltages of the driving transistors of different pixel circuits due to the influence of parasitic capacitance. The arrangement improves the consistency of the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting elements of different pixel circuits and improves the display effect of the display panel.
