請參閱圖6,圖6中橫坐標軸表示時間,縱坐標軸表示閘極線GL1至GLm上的驅動訊號(電壓訊號)。本實施例中,顯示面板10工作於複數顯示幀,顯示面板10在每一顯示幀中的工作過程基本相同,顯示幀的刷新頻率為60赫茲,則每一顯示幀持續16.67毫秒。以顯示幀frame(n)為例,驅動器15輸出至閘極線GL的驅動訊號為低電平時,閘極線GL所電連接的發光二極體處於工作狀態(on),驅動器15輸出至閘極線GL的驅動訊號為高電平時,閘極線GL所電連接的發光二極體處於非工作狀態(off)。驅動器15以從閘極線GL1至GLm的順序依次輸出低電平的驅動訊號VGL
(包括VGL1
至VGLm
)至各條閘極線GL1至GLm,則各條閘極線GL1至GLm所電連接的發光二極體13依次處於工作狀態,處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的發光輝度由其所電連接的資料線SL上的電流控制。本實施例中,同一時刻,僅一條閘極線GL所電連接的各個發光二極體13處於工作狀態(on),其餘閘極線所電連接的各個發光二極體13則處於非工作狀態(off);也即,同一時刻,每條資料線SL上僅一個發光二極體13處於工作狀態(on),其餘各個發光二極體13則處於非工作狀態(off)。Please refer to FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, the abscissa axis represents time, and the ordinate axis represents driving signals (voltage signals) on the gate lines GL1 to GLm. In this embodiment, the
請參閱圖7,橫坐標標表示電壓,縱坐標表示電流。根據發光二極體“正嚮導通反向截止”的特性,處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的正極電壓高於負極電壓,且正負極之間的電壓差大於發光二極體13的啟動電壓Vk
,發光二極體13的發光輝度與發光二極體13內的電流呈正比。處於非工作狀態的發光二極體13的負極電壓高於正極電壓,且正負極之間的電壓差小於發光二極體13的崩潰電壓Vbr
,則發光二極體13處於非工作狀態時,具有一反偏電流,該反偏電流極小,接近於零。且發光二極體13正負極之間的電壓差小於發光二極體13的崩潰電壓Vbr
時,反偏電流的大小幾乎不隨電壓差的變化而發生變化。本實施例中,每條資料線SL所電連接的各個發光二極體13在處於非工作狀態時的反偏電流大小相等(反偏電流的大小主要取決於發光二極體本身的結構特性)。Please refer to Figure 7. The abscissa indicates voltage and the ordinate indicates current. According to the characteristics of the "forward conduction and reverse cutoff" of the light-emitting diode, the positive electrode voltage of the light-emitting
本實施例中,由於同一時刻僅一條閘極線GL所電連接的各個發光二極體13處於工作狀態,其餘閘極線GL所電連接的各個發光二極體13皆處於非工作狀態,則對於每條資料線SL來說,每條資料線所電連接的複數發光二極體13中,僅有一個發光二極體13處於工作狀態,其餘的發光二極體13皆處於非工作狀態。處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13皆具有一反偏電壓,雖然反偏電壓極小,接近於零,但是在顯示面板10中往往具有較大數量(上千、上萬)的發光二極體,因此,處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13的反偏電流疊加之後使得各條資料線SL上的反偏電流總和較大。本實施例中,將處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13產生的反偏電流用作驅動處於工作狀態的各個發光二極體13的驅動電流。以下詳細闡述:In this embodiment, since each light-emitting
請參閱圖8,本實施例還提供一種驅動方法,應用於上述的顯示面板10中,包括如下步驟:

本實施例提供的顯示面板10中,各列子畫素12中的各個發光二極體13的工作模式是相似的,為了表述方便,以下將以其中一列子畫素12中的各個發光二極體13的工作過程、以及與該列子畫素12相關的閘極線GL及資料線SL上的訊號傳輸作示例性說明。In the
請參閱圖9,資料線SL1與閘極線GL1至GLm絕緣交叉,本實施例中,資料線SL1與閘極線GL1至GLm垂直交叉,資料線SL1與閘極線GL1至GLm-1定義的複數子畫素12中分別設置有一發光二極體13,資料線SL1與閘極線GLm定義的部分子畫素12中,設置有一電流源14。當前時刻,發光二極體13(資料線SL1與閘極線GL1定義的子畫素12中的發光二極體13)處於工作狀態,其餘發光二極體13(資料線SL1與閘極線GL2至GLm-1定義的各個子畫素12中的發光二極體13)處於非工作狀態。處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13反向截止,分別具有一反偏電壓ir
,本實施例中,各個發光二極體13的反偏電壓ir
幅值相等,方向相同(如圖6中虛線箭頭指示電流方向)。Please refer to FIG. 9, the data line SL1 is insulated and crossed with the gate lines GL1 to GLm. In this embodiment, the data line SL1 crosses the gate lines GL1 to GLm perpendicularly, and the data line SL1 is defined by the gate lines GL1 to GLm-1. A
請一併參閱圖8及圖9,步驟S1中,獲取當前處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的目標驅動電流iR
。本實施例中,獲取當前處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的目標驅動電流iR
的步驟具體包括:根據預存的顯示資料計算當前處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的目標發光輝度,根據目標發光輝度計算所需的目標驅動電流iR
。處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的發光輝度由顯示資料決定,該顯示資料預存於驅動器15,在顯示面板10工作時,驅動器15將該預存的顯示資料寫入資料線SL1中,從而驅動資料線SL1所電連接的發光二極體13發光。不同的顯示資料體現為發光二極體13的不同發光輝度,而發光二極體13的發光輝度由驅動該發光二極體13發光的電流決定,將當前根據顯示資料確定的發光二極體13的發光輝度定義為目標發光輝度,並將驅動發光二極體13達到目標發光輝度的電流定義為目標驅動電流iR
,則根據發光二極體13發光輝度與驅動電流iR
的函數關係(由發光二極體13本身的結構特性決定),便可由目標發光輝度計算得到目標驅動電流iR
。Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 together. In step S1, the target driving current i R of the
請繼續一併參閱圖8及圖9,步驟S2中,獲取資料線SL1上的初始電流iSL1
。初始電流iSL1
為資料線SL1所電連接的當前處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
與資料線SL1所電連接的電流源14的輸出電流ip
疊加後的電流之和。根據圖9所示的各個發光二極體13、電流源14與資料線SL1的連接方式可知,各個發光二極體13與電流源14是並聯的關係,因此各個發光二極體13與電流源14的電流會疊加至資料線SL1上,作為資料線SL1的初始電流iSL1
,該初始電流iSL1
流入此時處於工作狀態的發光二極體13用於驅動其發光。Please continue to refer to FIGS. 8 and 9 together. In step S2, the initial current i SL1 on the data line SL1 is obtained. The initial current i SL1 is the current obtained by superimposing the reverse bias current i r of each
其中,電流源14在被開啟時的輸出電流ip
是根據電流源本身的結構確定,為一恒定的電流值,不隨著驅動器15輸出的訊號的變化而發生變化。電流源14開啟時,輸出電流為ip
,且電流方向與處於非工作狀態的發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
相同;當電流源14關閉時,輸出電流ip
為0。而各個處於非工作狀態的發光二極體的反偏電流ir
不易直接測得,本實施例中,各個處於非工作狀態的發光二極體的反偏電流ir
藉由如下方式獲取:
控制所有發光二極體13處於非工作狀態,並關閉電流源14,以偵測資料線SL1上的反偏電流總和Ir
;
根據資料線SL1上的反偏電流總和Ir
及資料線SL1所電連接的發光二極體13的數量,計算資料線SL1所電連接的發光二極體13處於非工作狀態時的反偏電流ir
。 The output current i p of the
由於電流源14被關閉,則資料線SL1上的反偏電流總和Ir
為所有發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
疊加後的值,且每個發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
相等,資料線SL1所電連接的發光二極體13的數量已知,因此步驟S5中可根據反偏電流總和Ir
及發光二極體數量計算出反偏電流:ir
=Ir
/(m-1)。Since the
則本實施例中,步驟S2具體為:疊加資料線SL1所電連接的當前處於非工作狀態的發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
及資料線SL1所電連接的電流源14的輸出電流ip
,以獲取資料線SL1的初始電流iSL1

。 In this embodiment, step S2 is specifically: superimposing the reverse bias current i r of the
資料線SL1上的初始電流iSL1
為當前時刻處於非工作狀態的各個發光二極體13所產生的反偏電流ir
與電流源14的輸出電流ip
的疊加及,用於驅動處於工作狀態的發光二極體13發光。但由於處於非工作狀態的發光二極體13的反偏電流ir
幾乎不變,電流源14的輸出電流ip
也恒定不變,而處於工作狀態的發光二極體13要達到目標發光輝度所需的目標驅動電流iR
是隨著顯示資料不同而發生變化的,因此不能使得資料線SL1上的初始電流iSL1
始終滿足處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的發光需求。因此本實施例中,藉由驅動器15輸出驅動訊號至資料線SL1,補償初始電流iSL1
與目標驅動電流iR
之間的電流差值。因此本實施例中,步驟S3具體包括:根據資料線SL1所電連接的處於工作狀態的發光二極體13的目標驅動電流iR
及資料線SL1的初始電流iSL1
之間的電流差值,輸出驅動訊號至資料線SL1。本實施例中,驅動器15輸出的驅動訊號為電流驅動訊號I0
。且電流驅動訊號與電流差值的幅值相等,方向相反,也即:I0
