Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pixel-based variable color coordinate display device comprising a plurality of color sub-pixels, each comprising a light emitter, formed by an organic electroluminescent diode and a color filter, the color coordinates of the pixel being determined periodically and the light emitters being identical.
  • the color of each pixel is made from three primary colors.
  • the CIE 1931 standard can, for example, be used to define from three primary standard colors, consisting of a precise shade of blue (B), red (R) and green (G), any visible color. at the eye. With this standard, all the color shades accessible to the human eye are defined by precise chromatic coordinates, each of which corresponds to a particular distribution of the primary standard colors.
  • a pixel is defined by its color and its luminance, that is to say by its visible light intensity.
  • luminance and the chromatic coordinates of a pixel with variable chromaticity coordinates are redefined periodically according to the image to be displayed.
  • a high definition display system is obtained by means of a very high density of sub-pixels, each pixel comprising a sub-pixel of each primary color.
  • the transmitters are chosen to use a continuous white light emitting layer, ie an emitting layer which is common to all the sub-pixels.
  • the continuous white light emitting layer is associated, for each sub-pixel, with a specific color filter, which is a function of the color that is desired for the sub-pixel considered.
  • a pixel 1 with variable chromaticity coordinates consists of three color sub pixels 2, each of which emits a primary color.
  • Each sub-pixel 2 comprises a light emitting diode 3 formed in the white light emitting layer and driven by two specific electrodes (not shown) which are arranged on either side of the emitter layer.
  • Each subpixel is associated with a colored filter 4, which allows only the desired primary color to pass through.
  • the white light emitting layer is formed continuously on a first set of electrodes. The second set of electrodes is then made on this emitting layer.
  • the light-emitting diodes 3 of the different sub-pixels are identical.
  • the variation of the chromatic coordinates of the pixel is carried out, periodically, by modulating its distribution in primary colors.
  • This modulation of the distribution in primary colors is practically translated by a modulation of the light energy released, that is to say by a modulation of the luminance of each of the sub-pixels.
  • This modulation of the luminance is conventionally performed by varying the intensity of the supply current of the sub-pixel concerned.
  • the luminance of the pixel is determined by the sum of the currents flowing through the light emitters, while the color of the pixel is a function of the luminance of its sub-pixels and therefore of the distribution of the current between the different sub-pixels. It is therefore known to modulate the current between the sub-pixels to modulate the color and the luminance of the pixel.
  • PWM Pulse Width Modulation
  • the document WO 98169382 describes a device for controlling the color of an OLED.
  • the device has OLEDs whose color of the light emitted varies according to the applied voltage (page 7, last paragraph).
  • Document D1 specifies that voltage control allows the manufacture of a color screen from a single monochrome panel in which it is possible to choose the color and brightness of each pixel (page 8, paragraph 2).
  • a color filter can be associated with each pixel to control the wavelength of the transmitted light (page 3, lines 4-5).
  • This colored filter 14, preferably tri-band, can be applied to the upper part of the OLED (the second conductive layer 13) in order to let only a particular wavelength close to the emitted light (page 8, last paragraph, page 9 first paragraph).
  • the gray level control for each color can be achieved by means of pulse width modulation (page 8, lines 9-12).
  • the document WO 20051069266 discloses an active matrix of electroluminescent devices.
  • the electroluminescent elements are associated with switching means located at the intersections of the column and line conductive lines of the matrix.
  • the pixels are thus addressed by the associated column 4 and line 6 conductors by means of the control circuits 8 and 9.
  • the pixels of the same column are subjected to the same supply conditions via the power line 26 (page 6, line 28).
  • an isolation transistor 30 isolates the conduction transistor 22 from the light emitting element 2.
  • the conduction signal applied to the isolation transistor 30 is imposed on all the pixels of the array in a sequence line by line (page 7, lines 11-18).
  • the document WO 20051106835 describes a device that allows, for OLEDs, to define the emitted color while allowing the conservation of a constant luminance.
  • the document describes a plurality of OLEDs that can emit a white color, but whose emitted color and brightness vary according to the power supply current, (0027, 0031).
  • the brightness is then modulated by means of current pulses which adjust the duration to the high state for a predefined time unit.
  • the subject of the invention is a control circuit of a pixel which is easy to implement, making it possible to limit the consumption of the pixel, to increase its lifetime and / or its luminance and to obtain a compact display system. .
  • the pixel 1 with variable chromaticity coordinates comprises a plurality of sub-pixels 2 of color, for example three sub-pixels of color, made from a continuous layer in which is formed the diode 3 emitting white light.
  • the light emitters of the sub-pixels, organic electroluminescent diodes, are identical.
  • Each color sub-pixel 2 is associated with a color filter 4 which only allows one of the primary colors to pass outwards.
  • the sub-pixels 2 of colors used are, for example, sub-pixels having specific shades of blue, green and red.
  • the pixel 1 may comprise an additional sub-pixel, without a colored filter, which emits a white light to facilitate the production and luminance of the white.
  • the pixel 1 is associated with a control circuit which notably makes it possible to fix the supply conditions (voltage, current and application time) of each of the sub-pixels independently via two sets of electrodes arranged on either side of the emitting layer.
  • the control circuit thus makes it possible to periodically determine the luminance and the chromatic coordinate of the pixel 1.
  • the emission spectrum of the emitting layer 3, that is to say the color emitted by this layer, may vary with the supply conditions (voltage, current) to a greater or lesser extent depending on the composition of the this layer. In general, this phenomenon must be limited. On the contrary, according to the invention, it is advantageous to choose a composition which generates a significant variation of the emission spectrum with the polarization.
