Organic Light Emitting Diode (Organic Light Emitting Device, OLED) display has the tool high brightness, reaction velocity is fast, the visual angle is big, autoluminescence, advantage such as slim, with LCD (liquidcrystal display, LCD) and relevant display device identical, organic light emitting diode display can make gently, approaches, short and small display device, development potentiality can extend to numerous electric equipment products, as the field of mobile computer and digital camera, and even all use can be brought to the field of astronavigation and medical diagnostic equipment.Organic Light Emitting Diode is originally as a current driving element, its luminosity is to decide according to the size by electric current, at present Organic Light Emitting Diode being applied on the matrix form display (Matrix Display) promptly is size by controller light emitting diode drive current, reaches the effect that shows different brightness (being called gray scale again).
According to the difference of scanning line driving mode, matrix type organic light-emitting diode display can be divided into two kinds of passive type matrix (Passive Matrix) display and active type matrix (Active Matrix) displays.The passive type matrix display is to adopt the mode of driven sweep line in proper order, drive the pixel be positioned at different rows/list one by one, therefore the fluorescent lifetime of each pixel that go/lists can be subject to the sweep frequency and the number of scanning lines of display, is not suitable for the display of big picture and high definition (the expression sweep trace increases).The active type matrix display then forms independently image element circuit in each pixel, ask for an interview Fig. 1, and Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the circuit structure of a pixel 20.The embodiment of Fig. 1 includes an electric capacity (Capacitor) C1, an Organic Light Emitting Diode D and a plurality of metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, MOS) transistor or thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin-filmTransistor, TFT) T1～T4, utilize pixel 20 circuit to regulate the size of the drive current I of Organic Light Emitting Diode D, even therefore under the requirement of big picture and high definition, still can continue to provide each pixel 20 1 stabilized driving electric current I, improve the brightness uniformity of display.
In addition, in order to reach power saving, the convenience of system in combination and cost-effective purpose, development trend as LCD, many organic light emitting diode display systems take the mode of data with digital kenel input, therefore need digital analog converter (Digital-to-Analog Converter) is incorporated in the data drive circuit, again because the brightness of organic light emitting diode display is to utilize electric current to control, that is, the part of digital analog converter is necessary for the D/A conversion circuit that numerical data can be transferred to analog current, digital simulation current converter circuit just, simultaneously, corresponding pixel portion is also finished with the pixel (as the pixel 20 of Fig. 1) of current drives, sees also Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is the functional block diagram of well known data driving circuit.Shown among Fig. 2 corresponding to a data drive circuit 10 as the pixel 20 of Fig. 1, it includes a level shift circuit 12 (Level Shifter), a latch 14 (Latch), a shift register 16 (Shift Register), and a digital simulation current converter 18.The digital signal that level shift circuit 12 will receive (being one 6 digital signal in the present embodiment) is done the adjustment of current potential, after latch 14 is electrically connected to level shifter, function with buffering (Buffering) digital signal, latch 14 can latch this 6 position digital signal, so latch 14 is 6 a latch in the present embodiment, and shift register 16 exportable shift LD signals, the digital signal that once will correspond to a pixel 20 on the display all is sent to level shifter, allow level shifter carry out the function of adjusting voltage and buffering, again digital signal is sent to latch 14, allows latch 14 continue to carry out the function of (boost and) buffering.Digital simulation current converter 18 is connected to after the latch 14, be used for receiving digital signal by latch 14 outputs, with digital data conversion is an analog current signal, and the output analog current signal is to a data line 19, forms color according to the gray scale of the strong and weak control panel of analog current signal.Above-mentioned known basic structure is main to have relevant description in the patents of many data drive circuit designs about LCD and document, and organic light emitting diode display is just done the change of some with it, for example the part of the digital analog converter of LCD is finished with above-mentioned digital simulation current converter circuit.People such as YojiroMatsueda in 1996 at SID 96 Digest, deliver in " Low Temperature poly-SiTFT-LCD with integrated 6-bit Digital Data Driver " and use the fabrication techniques of LTPS on glass data drive circuit, and six digital data drive circuit structure proposed, and at US Patent 6,256,024, in " Liquid crystal display device ", people such as Maekawa also propose the structure close with the foregoing description.
Panel with the input of 4 bit digital data is an example, people (U.of Michigan such as previous J.Kanicki, USA) a kind of simple numerical analog current converter circuit is just proposed, adopting one group of (wide length) ratio is 1: 2: 4: 8 thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin Film Transistor, TFT) current source produces 16 kinds of different electric current gray scale Ig, ask for an interview Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram of an embodiment of the digital simulation current converter 18 of Fig. 2 data drive circuit 10, and the digital simulation current converter 18 of this embodiment is made of a plurality of transistor T 5～T9.Since electric current gray scale Ig only by 41: 2: 4: thin film transistor (TFT) T1～T4 of 8 controls, in case wherein threshold voltage of any one thin film transistor (TFT) (Threshold Voltage) and mobility (Mobility) produce bigger variation, promptly have influence on electric current gray scale Ig at once, and then have influence on the demonstration uniformity coefficient of its corresponding panel pixel (as the pixel 20 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2); In addition, because the output impedance (OutputImpedance) of this kind digital simulation current converter 18 is not high enough, and be vulnerable to flow through the influence of the size of current of digital simulation current converter 18, make the output voltage of digital simulation current converter 18 also can change with the size of output current, make digital simulation current converter 18 and corresponding pixel (as the pixel 20 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) when being concatenated into a path, the electric current of its output is not the electric current of very stable 16 gray scales, therefore, still there are many spaces of improving in the well known data driving circuit.
