Embodiment
For making those skilled in the art understand the technical solution of the utility model better, below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments the utility model is described in further detail.
Embodiment 1:
Present embodiment provides a kind of image element circuit, as shown in Figure 2, comprising: driving transistors DTFT, the first switching transistor M1, memory capacitance C1, luminescent device and threshold compensation circuitry; Described threshold compensation circuitry is made of second switch transistor M2, the 3rd switching transistor M3, the 4th switching transistor M4 and coupling capacitance C2;
The M1 grid of described first switching transistor meets the first sweep signal Vscan(n), source electrode meets data-signal input end Vdata, and drain electrode connects first end of memory capacitance C1 first end, coupling capacitance C2 and the source electrode of second switch transistor M2;
The second termination power voltage Vdd of described memory capacitance C1 connects the source electrode of described driving transistors DTFT simultaneously;
The grid of described second switch transistor M2 connects the grid that the second sweep signal Vscan (n-1) meets described the 3rd switching transistor M3 simultaneously, and drain electrode meets the extreme Vss of power-;

Particularly, described luminescent device D1 is Organic Light Emitting Diode, the described first switching transistor M1, second switch transistor M2, the 3rd switching transistor M3, the 4th switching transistor M4 and described driving transistors DTFT are the N-type thin film transistor (TFT), alternatively, all switching tubes only play switch, also can be the P transistor npn npn, the signal of conducting or on-off switching tube adjusts accordingly and gets final product.
Specify the course of work of this image element circuit below.
In conjunction with image element circuit shown in Figure 2 and the sequential chart among Fig. 3, its course of work is divided 3 stages: preliminary filling stage, compensated stage and glow phase.
Phase one is preliminary filling stage C, when the capable pixel cell of sweep signal gating n-1, the second sweep signal Vscan (n-1) of the capable pixel cell correspondence of n-1 is high level, second switch transistor M2, the 3rd switching transistor M3 are held open, and the first sweep signal Vscan(n of the capable pixel cell correspondence of n) be low level, the first switching transistor M1 closes, and the first control signal EM leads to low level, and the 4th switching transistor M4 also keeps closing.At this moment, the voltage that the A of source electrode place of second switch transistor M2 is ordered, and the voltage that the B of grid place of driving transistors DTFT is ordered all begins to descend, the electric charge that coupling capacitance C2 stores discharges, the voltage at coupling capacitance C2 two ends drops to the threshold voltage vt h of driving transistors DTFT at this moment, the voltage of ordering until A drops to 0, the voltage that B is ordered then drops to the threshold voltage vt h of driving transistors DTFT, thereby driving transistors DTFT closes, and the voltage swing at coupling capacitance C2 two ends also is changed to the voltage difference Vth of 2 of A, B.
Subordinate phase is compensated stage D, when the capable pixel cell of sweep signal gating n, the second sweep signal Vscan (n-1) of the capable pixel cell correspondence of n-1 is low level, second switch transistor M2, the 3rd switching transistor M3 close, and the first sweep signal Vscan (n) of the capable pixel cell correspondence of n is high level, the first switching transistor M1 opens, and introduces the data drive signal Vdata on the data line, and memory capacitance C1 is charged to store this data drive signal Vdata.Subsequently, data-signal Vdata makes the A point voltage be raised to Vdata, because the effect of coupling capacitance C2, the voltage that film crystal tube grid B is ordered raises and becomes Vdata+Vth, drives thin film transistor (TFT) and keeps the conducting critical conditions.
Phase III is glow phase E: the first control signal EM connects high level and controls the 4th switching transistor M4 unlatching, because supply voltage Vdd is much larger than data voltage Vdata, therefore driving transistors DTFT opens, and supply voltage Vdd drives to luminescent device D1 output current by driving transistors M2 has luminescent device D1 luminous.
The electric current that flows through driving transistors DTFT this moment can be used following equation expression:
I=k (Vgs-Vth) 2Wherein k=1/2* μ * Cox*W/L is constant ... ..(1)
The gate source voltage Vgs=Vg-Vs of driving transistors M2.The grid voltage Vg of driving transistors M2 is B point voltage Vdata+Vth, and source voltage Vs is that the C point voltage is the cut-in voltage V of luminescent device D1 at this moment D1Therefore, the gate source voltage Vgs of driving transistors M2 is:
Vgs=Vdata+Vth-V D1......(2)
Formula (2) substitution (1) is drawn:
I=k(Vgs-Vth) 2=k(Vdata+Vth-V D1-Vth) 2=k(Vdata-V D1) 2......(3)
From formula (3) as can be seen, the current value and its variations in threshold voltage that flow through driving transistors DTFT are irrelevant, that is to say, even through using for a long time, the threshold voltage of driving transistors DTFT drifts about, but therefore the electric current that flows through driving transistors DTFT can not be affected yet, and has guaranteed the luminous mass of luminescent device D1 yet.Correspondingly, because the luminous mass of luminescent device D1 is guaranteed in the single image element circuit, this circuit is the unevenness of compensation for drive transistor threshold voltage effectively, make the picture homogeneity of display device improve, and need not to carry out threshold voltage compensation by the external compensation circuit, thereby research and development and manufacturing cost have been reduced.And the sequential of this pixel is simple, realizes easily.
Preferably, described first switching transistor, second switch transistor, the 3rd switching transistor the 4th switching transistor and described driving transistors are the N-type thin film transistor (TFT).
Preferably described luminescent device is Organic Light Emitting Diode, and other luminescent devices also are fine certainly.
