Embodiment
As shown in Figure 4, be a kind of dot structure 100 of active matrix type liquid crystal display.In dot structure 100, switching transistor T 11Have control end connection one scan electrode SCAN and one first end and connect a data electrode DATA.One driving transistors T 21Have a control end and connect switching transistor T 11One second end and one first end connect a power supply potential V DDOLED 20 has an anode and connects driving transistors T 21Second end and a negative electrode connect altogether with electrode (being not shown among the figure) an and memory capacitance C 11Have an end and be connected to driving transistors T 21Control end, wherein the current potential of common electrode is V COMThough this dot structure of the present invention, in order to driving method of the present invention to be described, so it is not that other dot structure is also applicable in order to qualification the present invention.
With reference to figure 6 explanations driving method of the present invention.At first at the period 1 T of a display cycle frame N fIn, according to picture signal on this data electrode DATA and the one scan signal on the scan electrode SCAN, provide one first electric current to OLED 20.That is to say switching transistor T 11According to the sweep signal conducting on the scan electrode SCAN, the picture signal on the data electrode DATA is to memory capacitance C 11Charge or discharge, driving transistors T simultaneously 21Voltage on the grid is adjusted and has a memory capacitance C 11In.Driving transistors T 21According to the control of its grid voltage, provide first electric current I fTo OLED 20, and OLED20 is therefore luminous.Then, switching transistor T 11End, but driving transistors T 21According to being stored in memory capacitance C 11In voltage and continue conducting, so OLED 20 maintains identical brightness, wherein the frequency range of display cycle (frame) is about 10Hz to 10 6Hz.Yet this type of drive makes electric charge be accumulated in OLED 20 inside, cause 20 life-spans of OLED to reduce and OLED 20 2 ends on voltage V ORise (power consumption increase).
Therefore, the present invention is then at T second round of display cycle frame N rIn, second electric current I anti-phase with this first electric current is provided rTo OLED 20, this second electric current I rIn and the accumulation of the electric charge of OLED 20 inside, wherein period 1 T fWith T second round rTime ratio be approximately 1: 1 to 10 5: 1.
In this example, by drawing high the current potential V that is connected to the common electrode on OLED 20 negative electrodes COMTo surpassing power supply potential V DD, therefore, the current potential V of common electrode COMBe higher than voltage Vr, so make voltage V on the OLED 20 OBecome a negative voltage, thereby produce second electric current I rIn coming and OLED 20 inner charges accumulated.
Perhaps, as shown in Figure 5, the present invention utilizes a transistor T 3Drag down circuit as one, the one control end connects a control signal S 1, the one first end anode and one second end that connect OLED 20 connect one first power supply V S, the first power supply V wherein SCurrent potential to be lower than current potential V on OLED 20 negative electrodes COMT second round at display cycle frame N rIn, transistor T 3According to control signal S 1And conducting is moved the current potential Vr on the light emitting diode OLED anode to first power supply V SCurrent potential (be lower than V COM), this moment OLED 20 on voltage V OTherefore become a negative voltage, just produce the backward current Ir OLED 20 that flows through, in coming and the inner charges accumulated of OLED20.Though the present invention uses aforementioned two kinds of modes to come to produce reverse current on OLED, in order to driving method of the present invention to be described, so it is not in order to limiting the present invention, and other can allow OLED produce the mode of reverse current, also applicable to driving method of the present invention.
Curve C among Fig. 7 1Represent in the known driving method relation of the voltage on service time and OLED two ends, curve C 2Represent in the driving method of the present invention the relation of the voltage of service time and OLED two ends.Hence one can see that, and driving method of the present invention can slow down the voltage of OLED two ends, along with the degree that rise service time, promptly can reduce the degree that power consumption increases.
In addition, as shown in Figure 8, curve C 3Expression does not add under the negative-phase sequence curent service time of OLED and the relation between brightness, curve C 4Expression period 1 T f(forward current) and T second round rThe time ratio of (backward current) is 10: 1 o'clock, the service time of OLED and the relation between brightness.Curve C 5Expression period 1 T f(forward current) and T second round rThe time ratio of (backward current) is 100: 1 o'clock, the service time of OLED and the relation between brightness.Curve C 6Expression period 1 T f(forward current) and T second round rThe time ratio of (backward current) is 500: 1 o'clock, the service time of OLED and the relation between brightness.As seen from the figure, under driving method of the present invention (having backward current), be about 2 times of the known driving method that do not add backward current the serviceable life of OLED (brightness is greater than 0.5).Therefore, driving method of the present invention can reduce known driving method effectively and cause the OLED life-span to reduce, and the voltage V on OLED two ends ORise (power consumption increase).
In addition, in the driving method of the present invention, be not in each display cycle (frame), all to add the one-period that produces reverse current, after several display cycles of can also whenever being separated by, add a display cycle again with generation reverse current cycle.For instance, the 1st, 4,7 display cycles had the cycle that produces reverse current, and the 2nd, 3,5,6 display cycles did not then have the cycle that produces reverse current.
Though the present invention with preferred embodiment openly as above; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; any those skilled in the art; under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can change and modification, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with the claim institute restricted portion that is proposed.
