Figure 4 shows the gate current and gate current of a double gate transistor. The relationship diagram of pressure. Referring to Fig. 3, curve 30 shows the gate current (Id) and gate (Vg) voltage of the single gate transistor at the time T0 when the gate-source voltage is greater than zero (Vgs>0). Relationship diagram; curve 31 is a graph showing the relationship between the gate current and the gate voltage at the time T1 when the gate-source voltage is greater than zero (Vgs>0) in a single gate transistor, wherein Time T1 is later than T0. According to Fig. 3, as the usage time increases, the threshold voltage of the single gate transistor is positively shifted. Referring to Fig. 4, curve 40 is a graph showing the relationship between the drain current and the lower gate voltage at the time T0 when the upper gate-source voltage is less than or equal to zero (Vbs ≦ 0) in the double gate transistor. Curve 41 is a graph showing the relationship between the drain current and the lower gate voltage during the use time T1 when the upper gate-source voltage is less than or equal to zero (Vbs ≦ 0). According to Fig. 4, as the usage time increases, the threshold voltage of the double gate transistor is positively shifted. According to Figure 3-4, as the usage time increases, the threshold voltage forward offset of the double gate transistor is less than the threshold voltage forward offset of the single gate transistor.

根據第2圖之實施例,驅動電晶體21之上閘極端B21與源極端S21彼此電連接在一起。因此,驅動電晶體21之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)等於零。此外,開關電晶體20之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)小於零。根據雙閘極電晶體之特性,在長時間使用畫素電路2時,可減少臨界電壓之偏移量,藉此提高影像均勻度。According to the embodiment of Fig. 2, the gate terminal B21 and the source terminal S21 above the driving transistor 21 are electrically connected to each other. Therefore, the gate-source voltage (Vbs) above the driving transistor 21 is equal to zero. In addition, the gate-source voltage (Vbs) above the switching transistor 20 is less than zero. According to the characteristics of the double gate transistor, when the pixel circuit 2 is used for a long time, the offset of the threshold voltage can be reduced, thereby improving the image uniformity.

Referring to FIG. 6, the pixel circuit 6 is applied to an organic light emitting display panel, and includes a switching transistor 60, a driving transistor 61, a capacitor 62, a light emitting diode 63, and a diode 64. In this embodiment, both the switching transistor 60 and the driving transistor 61 are implemented as a double gate transistor. As shown in Fig. 6, the switching transistor 60 has an upper gate terminal B60, a lower gate terminal G60, and two electrode terminals D60 and S60. In this embodiment, the two electrode terminals D60 and S60 of the switching transistor 60 are the 汲 extreme and the source terminal, respectively. The driving transistor 61 has an upper gate terminal B61, a lower gate terminal G61, and two electrode terminals D61 and S61. In this embodiment, the two electrode terminals D61 and S61 of the driving transistor 61 are the 汲 terminal and the source terminal, respectively.

開關電晶體60之下閘極端G60接收一掃描信號SS60,其汲極端D60接收一資料信號DS60,且其源極端S60電連接一節點N60。驅動電晶體61之下閘極端G61電連接節點N60,其汲極端D61電連接電壓源VDD,以及其源極S61端電連接發光二極體63之陽極端。電容器62電連接於開關電晶體60之下閘極端G61與源極端S61之間。發光二極體63之陰極端在電連接電壓源VSS。第6圖之實施例中,開關電晶體60之上閘極端B60以及驅動電晶體61之上閘極端B61透過二極體64電連接電壓源VSS。詳細來說,二極體64之陽極端電連接開關電晶體60之上閘極端B60以及驅動電晶體61之上閘極端B61,而二極體64之陰極端電連接電壓源VSS。在此實施例中,電壓源VSS提供之電壓低於電壓源VDD提供之電壓。The lower gate G60 of the switching transistor 60 receives a scan signal SS60, the drain terminal D60 receives a data signal DS60, and its source terminal S60 is electrically coupled to a node N60. The lower gate G61 of the driving transistor 61 is electrically connected to the node N60, the 汲 terminal D61 is electrically connected to the voltage source VDD, and the source S61 terminal is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the illuminating diode 63. The capacitor 62 is electrically connected between the gate terminal G61 and the source terminal S61 below the switching transistor 60. The cathode terminal of the light-emitting diode 63 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the upper gate B60 of the switching transistor 60 and the upper gate B61 of the driving transistor 61 are electrically connected to the voltage source VSS through the diode 64. In detail, the anode terminal of the diode 64 is electrically connected to the gate terminal B60 above the switching transistor 60 and the gate terminal B61 above the driving transistor 61, and the cathode terminal of the diode 64 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS. In this embodiment, the voltage source VSS provides a voltage that is lower than the voltage provided by the voltage source VDD.

在另一實施例中,驅動電晶體61以一雙閘極電晶體來實施而開關電晶體60以單閘極電晶體來實施來實施。在此例子中,僅有驅動電晶體61之上閘極端B61透過二極體64電連接電壓源VSS。In another embodiment, the drive transistor 61 is implemented as a dual gate transistor and the switch transistor 60 is implemented as a single gate transistor. In this example, only the upper gate B61 of the driving transistor 61 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS through the diode 64.

參閱第6圖,當開關電晶體60根據掃描信號SS60而導通時,資料信號DS60傳送至節點N60。驅動電晶體61根據節點N60上之電壓來提供一驅動電流I60,以驅動發光二極體63發光。Referring to Fig. 6, when the switching transistor 60 is turned on in accordance with the scanning signal SS60, the data signal DS60 is transmitted to the node N60. The driving transistor 61 supplies a driving current I60 according to the voltage on the node N60 to drive the light emitting diode 63 to emit light.

根據第6圖之實施例,二極體64之陽極端電連接開關電晶體60之上閘極端B60以及驅動電晶體61之上閘極端B61。由於開關電晶體60之上閘極端B60與驅動電晶體61之上閘極端B61未額外施加電壓源,二極體64與開關電晶體60以及驅動電晶體61並沒有形成電流路徑,因此,沒有電流流經二極體64,且二極體64不會發光。二極體64之陽極端上的電壓最終會接近或等於電壓源VSS所提供之電壓。藉此可得知,驅動電晶體61之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)以及開關電晶體60之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)會小於或等於零。根據第3-4圖所示之雙閘極電晶體之特性,在長時間使用畫素電路6時,可減少臨界電壓之偏移量,藉此提高影像均勻度。According to the embodiment of Fig. 6, the anode terminal of the diode 64 is electrically connected to the gate terminal B60 above the switching transistor 60 and the gate terminal B61 above the driving transistor 61. Since the gate terminal B60 above the switching transistor 60 and the gate terminal B61 above the driving transistor 61 do not additionally apply a voltage source, the diode 64 and the switching transistor 60 and the driving transistor 61 do not form a current path, and therefore, there is no current. It flows through the diode 64, and the diode 64 does not emit light. The voltage at the anode terminal of diode 64 will eventually be close to or equal to the voltage provided by voltage source VSS.

Referring to FIG. 8, the pixel circuit 8 is applied to an organic light emitting display panel, and includes a switching transistor 80, a driving transistor 81, a capacitor 82, a light emitting diode 83, and diodes 84 and 85. In this embodiment, the switching transistor 80 Both the driving transistor 81 and the driving transistor 81 are realized by a double gate transistor. As shown in Fig. 8, the switching transistor 80 has an upper gate terminal B80, a lower gate terminal G80, and two electrode terminals D80 and S80. In this embodiment, the two electrode terminals D80 and S80 of the switching transistor 80 are the 汲 extreme and the source terminal, respectively. The driving transistor 81 has an upper gate terminal B81, a lower gate terminal G81, and two electrode terminals D81 and S81. In this embodiment, the two electrode terminals D81 and S81 of the driving transistor 81 are the 汲 terminal and the source terminal, respectively.

開關電晶體80之下閘極端G80接收一掃描信號SS80,其汲極端D80接收一資料信號DS80,且其源極端S80電連接一節點N80。驅動電晶體81之下閘極端G81電連接節點N80,其汲極端D81電連接電壓源VDD,以及其源極S81端電連接發光二極體83之陽極端。電容器82電連接於開關電晶體82之下閘極端G81與源極端S81之間。發光二極體83之陰極端在電連接電壓源VSS。第8圖之實施例中,開關電晶體80之上閘極端B80透過二極體85電連接電壓源VSS,而驅動電晶體81之上閘極端B81透過二極體84電連接電壓源VSS。詳細來說,二極體85之陽極端電連接開關電晶體80之上閘極端B80,而二極體85之陰極端電連接電壓源VSS;二極體84之陽極端驅動電晶體81之上閘極端B81,而二極體84之陰極端電連接電壓源VSS。在此實施例中,電壓源VSS提供之電壓低於電壓源VDD提供之電壓。The lower gate G80 of the switching transistor 80 receives a scan signal SS80, the drain terminal D80 receives a data signal DS80, and its source terminal S80 is electrically coupled to a node N80. The gate terminal G81 of the driving transistor 81 is electrically connected to the node N80, the 汲 terminal D81 is electrically connected to the voltage source VDD, and the source S81 terminal thereof is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the illuminating diode 83. The capacitor 82 is electrically connected between the gate terminal G81 and the source terminal S81 below the switching transistor 82. The cathode terminal of the light-emitting diode 83 is electrically connected to a voltage source VSS. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the gate terminal B80 of the switching transistor 80 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS through the diode 85, and the gate terminal B81 of the driving transistor 81 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS through the diode 84. In detail, the anode terminal of the diode 85 is electrically connected to the gate terminal B80 of the switching transistor 80, and the cathode terminal of the diode 85 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS; the anode terminal of the diode 84 is driven over the transistor 81. The gate terminal B81 and the cathode terminal of the diode 84 are electrically connected to the voltage source VSS. In this embodiment, the voltage source VSS provides a voltage that is lower than the voltage provided by the voltage source VDD.

在另一實施例中,驅動電晶體81以一雙閘極電晶體來實施而開關電晶體80以單閘極電晶體來實施來實施。在此例子中,僅有驅動電晶體81之上閘極端B81透過二極體 84電連接電壓源VSS。In another embodiment, the drive transistor 81 is implemented as a dual gate transistor and the switch transistor 80 is implemented as a single gate transistor. In this example, only the gate terminal B81 above the driving transistor 81 is transmitted through the diode. 84 is electrically connected to the voltage source VSS.

參閱第8圖,當開關電晶體80根據掃描信號SS80而導通時,資料信號DS80傳送至節點N80。驅動電晶體21根據節點N80上之電壓來提供一驅動電流I80,以驅動發光二極體83發光。Referring to Fig. 8, when the switching transistor 80 is turned on in accordance with the scanning signal SS80, the data signal DS80 is transmitted to the node N80. The driving transistor 21 supplies a driving current I80 according to the voltage on the node N80 to drive the light-emitting diode 83 to emit light.

根據第8圖之實施例,二極體85之陽極端電連接開關電晶體80之上閘極端B80,且二極體84之陽極端電連接驅動電晶體81之上閘極端B81。由於開關電晶體80之上閘極端B80與驅動電晶體81之上閘極端B81未施加電壓,因此,沒有電流流經二極體85與84,且二極體85與84不會發光。二極體85之陽極端上的電壓最終等於電壓源VSS所提供之電壓,且二極體84之陽極端上的電壓最終等於電壓源VSS所提供之電壓。藉此可得知,驅動電晶體81之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)等於零,且開關電晶體80之上閘極-源極電壓(Vbs)也等於零。根據第3-4圖所示之雙閘極電晶體之特性,在長時間使用畫素電路8時,可減少臨界電壓之偏移量,藉此提高影像均勻度。According to the embodiment of Fig. 8, the anode terminal of the diode 85 is electrically connected to the gate terminal B80 above the switching transistor 80, and the anode terminal of the diode 84 is electrically connected to the gate terminal B81 above the driving transistor 81. Since no voltage is applied to the gate terminal B80 above the switching transistor 80 and the gate terminal B81 above the driving transistor 81, no current flows through the diodes 85 and 84, and the diodes 85 and 84 do not emit light. The voltage at the anode terminal of diode 85 is ultimately equal to the voltage provided by voltage source VSS, and the voltage at the anode terminal of diode 84 is ultimately equal to the voltage provided by voltage source VSS. From this, it can be seen that the gate-source voltage (Vbs) above the driving transistor 81 is equal to zero, and the gate-source voltage (Vbs) above the switching transistor 80 is also equal to zero. According to the characteristics of the double gate transistor shown in Figs. 3-4, when the pixel circuit 8 is used for a long time, the offset of the threshold voltage can be reduced, thereby improving the image uniformity.

第9圖係表示畫素電路8中,開關電晶體80、驅動電晶體81、發光二極體83、以及二極體84與85之結構截面圖。參閱第9圖,畫素電路8之結構與畫素電路6之結構大致相同,其相異之處在於為了形成二極體84與85,絕緣層713具有兩個開口922A與922B,取代了第7圖之開口722A。開口922A與922B分別暴露導電層712之兩部分712B與712D。根據第9圖結構,導電層712之一部分712B、有機層714、與導電層715形成二極體84;導電層 712之一部分712D、有機層714、與導電層715形成二極體85。此外,在第9圖中,由於二極體84與85的形成,導電層712之兩部分712B與712D彼此分離(彼此不相連)。Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the switching transistor 80, the driving transistor 81, the light-emitting diode 83, and the diodes 84 and 85 in the pixel circuit 8. Referring to Fig. 9, the structure of the pixel circuit 8 is substantially the same as that of the pixel circuit 6. The difference is that in order to form the diodes 84 and 85, the insulating layer 713 has two openings 922A and 922B, replacing the first Opening 722A of Figure 7. Openings 922A and 922B expose two portions 712B and 712D of conductive layer 712, respectively. According to the structure of FIG. 9, one portion 712B of the conductive layer 712, the organic layer 714, and the conductive layer 715 form a diode 84; a conductive layer One portion 712D, an organic layer 714, and a conductive layer 715 form a diode 85. Further, in Fig. 9, the two portions 712B and 712D of the conductive layer 712 are separated from each other (not connected to each other) due to the formation of the diodes 84 and 85.
