Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a halogen circuit, and more particularly to a pixel circuit capable of compensating for a critical voltage drift of a thin film transistor. [Prior Art] Referring to FIG. 1 'the conventional pixel circuit 1 includes a first transistor u, a second transistor I2, a capacitor 13, and an organic light emitting body: ❹ 0 LED 14, wherein a transistor 11, 12 丨 type thin film transistor, each transistor having a first end, a second end and a control terminal for determining whether the first segment and the second terminal are conductive, the OLED 14 having an anode And a cathode. The first end of the first transistor 11, the one end of the capacitor 13 and the control end of the second transistor 12 are electrically connected, and the second end of the first transistor u receives a data voltage VDATA1, the first electric The control terminal of the crystal n receives a control signal Vct1 丨 'the first end of the second transistor 12 receives a first power voltage VDD1, and the second end of the second transistor 12 is electrically connected to the anode of the 〇 led ❹ 14 The OLED 14 and the other end of the capacitor 13 are connected to a second power supply voltage VSS1. The operation mode is as follows: when the control signal VCTL1 is high, the first transistor 11 is turned on, so the data voltage Vdatai is stored on the capacitor 13, and the control terminal of the second transistor 12 is also received. The data • voltage Vdatai; at this time, the second transistor 12 will generate a driving current - Idrivei flows through the OLED 14 to cause the OLED 14 to emit light while generating a voltage drop v 〇 LED1 on the OLED 14 The calculation method of the driving current IDRWEi size is as follows: 200949798 ^DRIVEi ~ ^12(^05,12 ~^TH,n) ~~^\2^Vdata\ ~K?L£D1 —^77/,12). ..... (corpse.1) wherein, 乂!^, 12 is the threshold voltage value of the second transistor 12. It can be observed from the above current formula (F.1) that when the threshold voltage VTH, 12 of the second transistor 12 is mutated, or the OLED 14 is lowered due to aging, the voltage drop V0LED1 is lowered. The size changes, and therefore, the brightness of the OLED 14 is unstable. Referring to FIG. 2, another conventional pixel circuit 2 using a top emission structure includes a first transistor 21, a second transistor 22, a capacitor 23, and an OLED 24, wherein the The crystals 21 and 22 are P-type thin film transistors, each of the transistors has a first end, a second end and a control end for determining whether the first end and the second end are conductive. The OLED 24 has an anode and a cathode. The first end of the first transistor 21, the one end of the capacitor 23 and the control end of the second transistor 22 are electrically connected, and the second end of the first transistor 21 receives a data voltage V DATA2 5 . The control terminal of the transistor 21 receives a control signal VCTL2. The first end of the second transistor 22 is electrically connected to the cathode of the OLED 24. The anode of the OLED 24 receives a first power voltage VDD2. The second transistor 22 The second end and the other end of the capacitor 23 are connected to a second power voltage VsS2. The operation mode is as follows: when the control signal VcTL2 is low, the first transistor 21 is turned on, so the data voltage VDATA2 is stored on the capacitor 23, and the control terminal of the second transistor 22 is also received. The data voltage VdATA2 > will generate a driving current Idrive2 flowing through the OLED 24, so that the OLED 24 emits light, and a voltage drop is generated on the OLED 24 200949798 V〇LED2 'so the first-- The electrical value of the first end of the crystal is Vdd2_V〇leD2 'The calculation of the magnitude of the drive current I〇rIVE2 is as follows: (F2) ^DRIVE! = ^^22 (^50,22 ~l ^77/,22 I) 2 ~ ~^22^DD2 OLEDI ~ ^〇ΜΓ/ΰ~ i Κΐί, 22 ^......... wherein, VTH, 22 is the threshold voltage value of the second transistor 22. It can be observed from the above current formula (F.2) that when the threshold voltage ν ΤΗ of the second transistor 22 is varied, or the 〇 LED 24 is lowered due to aging, the voltage drop V 〇 led2 is lowered. The magnitude of the drive current changes 'and thus the brightness of the OLED 24 will be unstable. At the same time, when the conventional pixel circuit 2 is applied to a large-sized panel, as the signal line is elongated, the internal resistance is gradually increased, which will cause the power supply voltage Vdd2 to attenuate, which is called the IR_drop effect. This causes the drive current Idrive2 to drop, thus making the large-size panel uneven in brightness. In summary of the above results, these conventional pixel circuits have the following disadvantages: 1. The panel brightness is uneven or unstable: φ Because a panel is used for a long time or because the process difference will cause the variation of the threshold voltage value Vth, The driving current idrive flowing through the 〇led changes, so that the illuminating brightness of the 〇LED will be affected again. When most of the pixel circuits in the panel are affected by the threshold voltage value vTH variation, it is easy to make The panel looks like • The brightness is uneven or the brightness is unstable when it is sometimes brighter and sometimes darker. Second, it can not be applied to large-size panels: When the S-known pixel circuit is applied to a large-size panel, with the extension of the signal line of 7 200949798, the internal resistance gradually increases, which will cause the power supply voltage Vdd to have a clothing reduction effect. This is called the iR_dr〇p effect, which will cause the drive current IDRIVE to drop, thus making the large-size panel uneven. As the size of the panel grows larger, the IR-dr〇p effect becomes more pronounced. Therefore, if a conventional singular circuit is applied to a large-sized panel, the IR-dr〇p effect will have considerable consequences.
三、OLED老化效應影響發光效率: 由於材料老化的現象,OLED在長時間操作下,可 能會發生OLED電塵降V〇LED逐漸上升而影響到該驅動電 流Idrwe的大小。因此,若因長時間操作造成〇LED老化 ’進而使得該OLED的發光效率下降,那即便是該驅動 電流IDRIVE符合預期,也無法產生預期的亮度。若是發 生在RGB三色的發光效率下降程度不同,更會發生色偏 的問題。 ❹ 【發明内容】 因此,本發明之目的,即在提供一種晝素電路,包含 :-具有-陽極及-陰極之有機發光二極體,及一驅動電路 。該驅動電路包括一第一電晶H、一第二電晶體、一第三電 晶體、一電容,及一開關;每一電晶體具有一第一端、一第 二端,及-決定該第-端及該第二端是否導通的控制端。其 中’該第-電晶體之第二端與該電容之—端電連接,該第一 電晶體之第-端與該第二電晶體之第一端、該第三電晶體之 第一端,及該有機發光二極體之陰極電連接,該第二電晶體 200949798Third, the aging effect of OLED affects the luminous efficiency: Due to the aging of the material, under the long-term operation of the OLED, the OLED electric dust drop V〇LED may gradually rise and affect the size of the driving current Idrwe. Therefore, if the luminescence efficiency of the OLED is lowered due to long-term operation, the luminous efficiency of the OLED is lowered, and even if the driving current IDRIVE is as expected, the desired luminance cannot be produced. If the luminous efficiency of the three colors of RGB is different, the problem of color shift will occur.

It has the characteristics of compensating for the threshold voltage Vth, 93 variation: when a panel is operated for a long time The difference between the threshold voltages Vth and 93 generated by the process may affect the driving current IDRIVE on the OLED, which may cause unevenness or instability of the luminance on one side of the board. The invention of the panel of the pixel circuit can avoid the brightness problem caused by the variation of the threshold voltage VTH. Second, it can be applied to a large-sized panel: Since the driving current IDRIVE of the pixel circuit of the present invention is independent of the first and second power supply voltages VDD, Vss, when applied to a large-sized panel, the signal line may be too long. The resulting IR-drop effect will not affect the drive current Idrive, so 'will not affect the luminosity of the OLED 8. Third, it does not affect the luminous efficiency of the OLED: Since the driving current I DRIVE of the pixel circuit of the present invention is independent of the voltage drop v〇led of the 13 200949798, when using a pixel circuit as a light source panel, even Internally, the OLED 8 is aging due to long-term use, and thus the voltage drop of the OLED 8 rises, 'the drive current Idrive does not change, and the luminous efficiency of the 〇led 8 is kept stable. Therefore, when the present invention is When the pixel circuit is applied to the RGB display device, the problem of color shift due to the inconsistent luminous efficiency of the RGB three-color LED can be avoided. In summary, the embodiment of the present invention can ensure the driving current in the pixel circuit. It will not be changed by factors such as Vth variation, IR-drop effect, and OLED aging, and thus the object of the present invention can be achieved. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
