The driving method of the former is mainly to use the scanning means/mechanism to instantaneously generate the brightness, so the power consumption is high, the components are easily deteriorated, and it is not suitable for developing a high-resolution panel; in addition, the latter main driving mode is to utilize a thin film transistor (TFT). The component 'and the capacitor to store different data signals, so as to control the gray scale of each element on the panel (grayscal〇, ^ because the active matrix 〇 LED display after scanning, the enamel can still maintain the original brightness, Moreover, active matrix 〇 LED displays do not require a very high brightness. Therefore, active matrix OLED displays can achieve better lifetime performance than passive matrix 〇 LED displays. High resolution requirements can be achieved. Therefore, current research is directed toward active matrix 〇LED displays that can be used for large panels. However, the biggest problem encountered with OLED components is degradation, which is divided into non-essential degradation and essential degradation. Among them, the non-essential deterioration potential is short or the component degradation caused by encapsulation is mainly manifested in black spots. The production of dark printing (10)) is degraded to the fact that the OLED component is slowly attenuated with increasing time. The phenomenon is not caused by the outside world, but the OLED component itself is used for a period of time. After the deterioration, the results of studying this phenomenon can be described as a hundred schools of thought. The essential degradation of OUD components is the main reason that affects the hooking of 〇LED panels, resulting in thin film transistors in OLED pixel circuits.

As shown in Figure 1, it is the simplest OLED pixel circuit (2Tlc). 1〇〇 schematic diagram 201131545 AU0911086 3365ltwf.d〇c/n Referring to FIG. 1, the operation principle of the pixel circuit 100 is roughly as follows: when the scanning signal vscan received by the scanning line SL causes the thin film transistor T1 to be turned on, the data is The data signal Vdata received by the line DL is stored in the capacitor Cc. In addition, when the scanning signal Vscan received by the scanning line SL causes the thin film transistor T1 to be turned off, the thin film transistor T2 is turned on, so that the film transistor T2 is turned on. The voltage stored in the capacitor Cc corresponds to the drive current i〇led given to 〇leD. As shown in the following formula (1), it is expressed as the drive current Ioled through the 〇LED: she...the formula (1) where K is a film Process parameter of transistor T2 (constant); VGs is the voltage between the gate and source of the thin film transistor T2; and is the threshold voltage of the thin film transistor Τ2. Since the threshold voltage vth of the thin film transistor Τ2 will be in the long time The positive bias drive drives the drift, so once the threshold voltage Vth of the thin film transistor T2 drifts, it directly affects the current flowing through the 〇LED by 1〇1. In this way, the currents flowing through the same data signal Vdata of each OLED. 昼 电路 circuit will be different, so that the gray scales of each 昼 led 昼 也会 will be different, and this also affects the 〇 LED panel uniformity. The main cause of sex. This phenomenon not only causes the life of the LED panel to be greatly different from that of the TFT LCD panel currently on the market, but also causes the 〇LED panel to fail mass production.

The 汲/source is electrically connected to the anode of the illuminating element 而1^〇, and the cathode of the illuminating element ((^^〇) is electrically connected to a system low voltage Vss. Based on the above, Assume that the time-varying signal generator 2〇7 generates a time-changing 5 Tiger Vtv for the Sawtooth wave signal (hereinafter referred to as the time-varying signal Vtv is a sawtooth wave signal vtv), then Figure 3猞Show soap is invented in an embodiment of the pixel circuit Pix in the active matrix organic ^ light: pole 201131545 AU0911086 3365 ltwf.doc / n body display fast 200 - a screen during the FP scanning signal vscan, the fourth transistor T4 gate A schematic diagram of the pole voltage Vg and the current Ioled flowing through the light emitting element 〇LED. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, in the embodiment, the pixel circuit Pix is in the active matrix organic light emitting diode display 2 The operating conditions in the FP during the squatting period can be roughly divided into two phases, one of which is the charging period. The charging period A and the other is the adjusting period B, and the frequency (frequency) φ of the sawtooth wave signal Vtv is substantially equal to the face renewal rate of the active matrix organic light emitting diode display 200 (frame) When the pixel circuit Pdc is in the charging period A, it will emit light in response to the scanning signal Vscan and the data signal Vdata. More specifically, when the wintersing circuit P ix is in the charging period A, the scanning signal vsc an is Low ^ ^ level. As a result, the transistors T2 and T3 are turned on to cause the capacitor Cc to be charged via the time varying signal Vtv and the transistors Τ 2 and T3. In this embodiment, when the capacitor Cc is charged until stable In the state, the voltage Vg of the fourth transistor D4 is a fixed voltage difference Vgs based on the fixed current element Is and the data signal Vdata. Also, the gate voltage Vg of the fourth transistor T4 is Therefore, the fixed bias voltage is controlled by the data signal Vdata. In other words, the gate voltage Vg of the fourth transistor T4 is completely determined according to the size of the resource number Vdata. The pixel circuit Pix is determined by the charging period A. After the voltage level of the gate voltage Vg of the crystal T4, the adjustment period B is entered. According to FIG. 3, the gate voltage Vg of the fourth transistor T4 is pulled up by the gradually rising sawtooth wave signal Vtv. Come, when the voltage of the terminal voltage vg of the 201131545 auuv 11086 33651twf.doc/n of the fourth transistor T4 rises to reach its threshold voltage vth, the light-emitting element 〇led will not pass any current, that is, no current. It flows through the light emitting element OLED. In the present embodiment, 'when the current loled flowing through the light-emitting element OLED will be zero, and the magnitude of its initial current depends on the fourth transistor T4, and the gate voltage Vg is defined as the electrical index defined by the charge (A). And set. If the voltage level of the gate dust Vg of the fourth transistor T4 is higher, the illuminating tree GLED Ioled is smaller, and the recording is raised to the fourth transistor T4 _ voltage limit, thereby causing the light-emitting element 〇led has a longer time and does not flow through any current Ioled, and vice versa. Based on the above, the tribute signal received by the pixel circuit pix during the charging period A determines that the gate voltage Vg of the fourth transistor T4 is greater than two == the pixel circuit ΗΧ enters the adjustment period B and flows through the illuminant H Γ (4) Large and light-emitting components _ when the second ί 若 主动 active matrix money LED display 200 has a face update rate greater than 6 GHz, then human vision does not flow without current through the pixel circuit Pix, illuminate The component 〇 无 ( ( 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停 停Together, it determines the gray scale of the pixel circuit.

In this way, the present embodiment utilizes this-electrical-to-image, which can affect the low luminescence of the county. The square current, the current of the fixed current source Is entering the room A in the pixel circuit pix can be expressed as the following formula (2) ) : ^ where 'Κτι is the process parameter of transistor T1 (constant); v ^ voltage between gate and source of transistor T1; and Vtht is transistor τι 2 for::2::) The gate voltage Vg of the four transistor T4 can be transferred to VS^Vdat.a-\VTHJ\
