接著,如第3圖所示,於充電時間後之記憶時間內,記憶開關控制訊號Vb將使記憶開關208導通,充電開關控制訊號Va係使充電開關206關閉,且發光開關控制訊號Vc亦使三個發光開關210、212及214關閉。掃描訊號Vscan此時將繼續使開關電晶體200導通,以使資料訊號Vdata由第一開關源/汲極傳送至第二開關源/汲極。Then, as shown in FIG. 3, during the memory time after the charging time, the memory switch control signal Vb turns on the memory switch 208, the charging switch control signal Va causes the charging switch 206 to be turned off, and the light switch control signal Vc also makes The three illuminated switches 210, 212 and 214 are closed. The scan signal Vscan will continue to turn on the switching transistor 200 to cause the data signal Vdata to be transferred from the first switching source/drain to the second switching source/drain.
因此,請參照第4B圖,為本揭示內容一實施例中,畫素單元2於記憶時間內之等效電路圖。畫素單元2於記憶時間內之等效電路圖相當於在將儲存電容202之第一端與有機發光二極體22相連接。因此電流將以方向42,由儲存電容202之第一端透過有機發光二極體22向第二電壓端VSS進行放電。放電過程將持續至儲存電容202之第一端的電壓無法再使有機發光二極體22導通為止。亦即,儲存電容202之第一端的電壓等於有機發光二極體22的臨界電壓Vth_o時,儲存電容202將不再放電。此時,儲存電容202之跨壓Vcap可由下式表示:Therefore, please refer to FIG. 4B, which is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel unit 2 in the memory time according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel unit 2 during the memory time is equivalent to connecting the first end of the storage capacitor 202 to the organic light-emitting diode 22. Therefore, the current will be discharged in the direction 42 from the first end of the storage capacitor 202 through the organic light-emitting diode 22 to the second voltage terminal VSS. The discharge process continues until the voltage at the first end of the storage capacitor 202 is no longer sufficient to turn the organic light-emitting diode 22 on. That is, when the voltage at the first end of the storage capacitor 202 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth_o of the organic light-emitting diode 22, the storage capacitor 202 will no longer be discharged. At this time, the crossover voltage Vcap of the storage capacitor 202 can be expressed by the following formula:
Vcap=(Vth_o+VSS)-Vdata(式2)Vcap=(Vth_o+VSS)-Vdata(Form 2)
接著,如第3圖所示,於記憶時間後之發光時間內,發光開關控制訊號Vc將使三個發光開關210、212及214導通,充電開關控制訊號Va係使充電開關206關閉,且記憶開關控制訊號Vb亦使記憶開關208關閉。掃描訊號Vscan此時使開關電晶體202停止導通。Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the illumination switch control signal Vc turns on the three illumination switches 210, 212, and 214 during the illumination time after the memory time, and the charging switch control signal Va causes the charging switch 206 to be turned off and the memory is turned on. The switch control signal Vb also causes the memory switch 208 to be turned off. The scan signal Vscan now stops the switching transistor 202 from conducting.
因此,請參照第4C圖,為本揭示內容一實施例中,畫素單元2於發光時間內之等效電路圖。畫素單元2於發光時間內之等效電路圖相當於將儲存電容202連接於驅動電晶體204之驅動閘極以及第二驅動源/汲極,以及將驅動電晶體204之第一驅動源/汲極連接於第一電壓端VDD。因此,當上述式2中儲存電容202的跨壓大於驅動電晶體204的臨界電壓Vth_tft時,可做為使驅動電晶體204導通的導通電壓Von。驅動電晶體204導通後,將依據第一電壓端VDD提供驅動電流I至有機發光二極體22。此時,驅動電流I可由下式表示:Therefore, please refer to FIG. 4C, which is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel unit 2 in the illumination time in an embodiment of the disclosure. The equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel unit 2 during the illumination time is equivalent to connecting the storage capacitor 202 to the driving gate of the driving transistor 204 and the second driving source/drain, and the first driving source of the driving transistor 204/汲The pole is connected to the first voltage terminal VDD. Therefore, when the voltage across the storage capacitor 202 in the above Equation 2 is greater than the threshold voltage Vth_tft of the driving transistor 204, it can be used as the ON voltage Von for turning on the driving transistor 204. After the driving transistor 204 is turned on, the driving current I is supplied to the organic light emitting diode 22 according to the first voltage terminal VDD. At this time, the drive current I can be expressed by the following formula:
I=K(Von-Vth_tft)2 =K(Vcap-Vth_tft)2 I=K(Von-Vth_tft) 2 =K(Vcap-Vth_tft) 2
=K(((Vth_o+VSS)-Vdata)-Vth_tft)2 (式3)=K(((Vth_o+VSS)-Vdata)-Vth_tft) 2 (Equation 3)
由式3可以得知,驅動電晶體204導通後產生的驅動電流I將會隨著資料訊號Vdata與有機發光二極體22的臨界電壓Vth_o變化。當有機發光二極體22的材料發生變異導致臨界電壓Vth_o增大時,驅動電流I也將跟著變化,以補償有機發光二極體22之臨界電壓Vth_o變異造成的發光輝度衰減效應。It can be known from Equation 3 that the driving current I generated after the driving transistor 204 is turned on will vary with the data signal Vdata and the threshold voltage Vth_o of the organic light-emitting diode 22. When the material of the organic light-emitting diode 22 is mutated and the threshold voltage Vth_o is increased, the driving current I is also changed to compensate for the luminance luminance attenuation effect caused by the variation of the threshold voltage Vth_o of the organic light-emitting diode 22.
因此,由上述可知,本揭示內容之有機發光二極體驅動電路20可以在記憶時間中記憶有機發光二極體22之臨界電壓Vth_o,並使驅動電晶體204導通後產生的驅動電流I隨著資料訊號Vdata與有機發光二極體22的臨界電壓Vth_o變化,以在發光時間中動態調整驅動電流I之大小,達到補償有機發光二極體臨界電壓的變動,以避免發光輝度減少之功效。Therefore, as can be seen from the above, the organic light emitting diode driving circuit 20 of the present disclosure can memorize the threshold voltage Vth_o of the organic light emitting diode 22 in the memory time, and drive the driving current I generated after the driving transistor 204 is turned on. The data signal Vdata and the threshold voltage Vth_o of the organic light-emitting diode 22 are changed to dynamically adjust the driving current I during the light-emitting time to compensate for variations in the threshold voltage of the organic light-emitting diode to avoid the effect of reducing the luminance of the light.
請參照第5圖。第5圖為本揭示內容一實施例中,有機發光二極體驅動方法500之流程圖。有機發光二極體驅動方法500可應用於如第2圖中所繪示的有機發光二極體驅動電路20中。有機發光二極體驅動方法500包含下列步驟(應瞭解到,在本實施方式中所提及的步驟,除特別敘明其順序者外,均可依實際需要調整其前後順序,甚至可同時或部分同時執行)。Please refer to Figure 5. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of an organic light emitting diode driving method 500 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The organic light emitting diode driving method 500 can be applied to the organic light emitting diode driving circuit 20 as shown in FIG. The organic light-emitting diode driving method 500 includes the following steps (it should be understood that the steps mentioned in the embodiment can be adjusted according to actual needs, except for the order in which the order is specifically stated, or even simultaneously or Partially executed).

於步驟502,於充電時間內,使開關電晶體200導通以接收資料訊號Vdata並傳送至儲存電容202以及控制模組控制儲存電容202連接於第一電壓端VDD。此時,儲存電容202將根據第一電壓端VDD及資料訊號Vdata間之電壓差進行充電。In step 502, during the charging time, the switching transistor 200 is turned on to receive the data signal Vdata and transmitted to the storage capacitor 202, and the control module controls the storage capacitor 202 to be connected to the first voltage terminal VDD. At this time, the storage capacitor 202 will be charged according to the voltage difference between the first voltage terminal VDD and the data signal Vdata.
於步驟503,於充電時間後之記憶時間內,使開關電晶體200導通以接收資料訊號Vdata並傳送至儲存電容202以及控制模組控制儲存電容202連接於有機發光二極體22。此時,儲存電容202將對有機發光二極體22進行放電。In step 503, the switching transistor 200 is turned on to receive the data signal Vdata and transmitted to the storage capacitor 202 and the control module controls the storage capacitor 202 to be connected to the organic light emitting diode 22 during the memory time after the charging time. At this time, the storage capacitor 202 discharges the organic light-emitting diode 22.
於步驟504,於記憶時間後之發光時間內,使開關電晶體200關閉以及控制模組控制儲存電容202連接於驅動電晶體204之驅動閘極以及第二驅動源/汲極,以及控制驅動電晶體204之第一驅動源/汲極連接於第一電壓端VDD。此時,驅動電晶體204之驅動閘極以及第二驅動源/汲極間將根據儲存電容202之跨壓導通,並依據第一電壓端VDD提供驅動電流至有機發光二極體22。In step 504, the switching transistor 200 is turned off during the illuminating time after the memory time, and the control module controls the storage capacitor 202 to be connected to the driving gate of the driving transistor 204 and the second driving source/drain, and to control the driving power. The first driving source/drain of the crystal 204 is connected to the first voltage terminal VDD. At this time, the driving gate of the driving transistor 204 and the second driving source/drain will be turned on according to the voltage across the storage capacitor 202, and the driving current is supplied to the organic light emitting diode 22 according to the first voltage terminal VDD.
因此,由上述可知,本揭示內容之有機發光二極體驅動方法可以在發光時間中動態調整驅動電流之大小,達到補償有機發光二極體臨界電壓的變動,以避免發光輝度減少之功效。Therefore, it can be seen from the above that the organic light emitting diode driving method of the present disclosure can dynamically adjust the driving current in the light emitting time to compensate for the variation of the threshold voltage of the organic light emitting diode to avoid the effect of reducing the luminance.
