Definitions
- the invention relates to a pixel addressing circuit comprising, for each pixel, first and second control circuits respectively comprising:
- first and second actuating transistors in amorphous silicon, each comprising a gate and each connected in series with an organic light-emitting diode across a supply voltage
- first and second switching transistors each comprising a gate and connected respectively between first and second data signals and the gate of the first and second associated actuation transistors, first and second capacitors respectively connected between the gate of first and second actuating transistors and one of the terminals of the supply voltage, the addressing circuit controlling the first and second switching transistors, to make the first and second actuating transistors, respectively, respectively and alternately, blocked and passing.
- the invention also relates to a method for controlling such an addressing circuit.
- OLEDs are flat screens that utilize the luminescent properties of organic light emitting diodes. Unlike liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which are addressed in voltage, the OLED type diodes are addressed in current. In order to operate OLED displays with the same conventional addressing structures used for LCD displays, a voltage-to-current converter circuit must be used.
- a conventional control structure of a pixel consists of two transistors T1, T2, for example of the MOSFET type, of a capacitor C and of a diode D, of OLED type.
- Transistor T1 is an actuating transistor, operating analogically as a voltage controlled current generator.
- the actuating transistor T1 is connected in series with the diode D across a supply voltage Vcc. It converts an actuating voltage Vg 1 applied to its gate, in current flowing in the diode D.
- the capacitor C is connected between the gate of the actuating transistor T1 and a fixed potential, for example the ground, the voltage of Vcc power supply or other potential.
- the transistor T2 is a switching transistor, intended to determine whether the pixel is selected or not, operating in a digital binary manner, namely with a conduction position and a blocking position.
- the switching transistor T2 is controlled by an addressing voltage Vg2 applied to its gate, passing the transistor T2 from its conduction position to its blocking position and vice versa.
- the switching transistor T2, for addressing the diode D of the pixel is connected between data signals Vd and the gate of the actuating transistor T1.
- the data signals Vd are thus transmitted to the gate of the transistor actuating circuit T1, when the switching transistor T2 is conducting, which transforms these voltage signals into current for controlling the intensity of the illumination of the diode D.
- Transistors T1 and T2 are preferably NMOS in amorphous silicon, thin film type (TFT, "Thin Film Transistor”).
- TFT thin film type
- the use of amorphous silicon for the fabrication of the transistor T1 can, however, cause a degradation of this transistor, during the addressing of the diode D, since the operating transistor T1 operates as a current generator for more than 95% the addressing time of the pixel.
- This degradation of the actuating transistor T1 essentially results in a drift of its threshold voltage Vt.
- Several factors are behind this drift. The first is due to the diffusion of hydrogen in the amorphous silicon, when the actuating transistor T1 is in operation, and the second, much more preponderant, is due to the injection of carriers into the insulator of the gate of the actuating transistor T1, in this case nitride. Indeed, these carriers are stored in the nitride and act as a memory effect modifying the threshold voltage Vt of the actuating transistor T1.
- the document US 2004/0001037 proposes a circuit for reducing the drift of the threshold voltage of the actuating transistor of a standard control structure of a pixel, via a system. modified address.
- the voltage applied to the drain of the operating transistor, in series with the diode, of the OLED type varies as a function of the voltage applied to the gate of the actuating transistor.
- the aim of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks and to provide a pixel addressing circuit for optimizing the reliability of the transistors and the time-dependent operation of the addressing circuit.
- the invention also aims a simple control method and easy to implement such an addressing circuit.
- the method is characterized in that it comprises, during one or more data frames, the application, on the gates of the first and second switching transistors, of addressing voltages, able to make, respectively, blocked and passing the associated operating transistors, so as to pass one of the operation transistors in one addressing and control phase of the diode and the other operating transistor in a repair phase, and alternatively during one or more subsequent data frames.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional structure of a control circuit of a pixel according to the prior art.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a particular embodiment of a pixel addressing circuit according to the invention.
- Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a matrix of pixels, composed of rows and columns, each controlled by an addressing circuit according to Figure 2, respectively for a data frame N and for a next data frame N + 1.
- FIGS. 5 to 10 illustrate, as a function of time, the operation of the transistors at different points of the addressing circuit according to FIG. 2, during two successive data frames N and N + 1. Description of particular embodiments
