Description

畫素結構及顯示裝置Pixel structure and display device

本發明係有關於一種畫素結構,特別是有關於一種顯示裝置的畫素結構。The present invention relates to a pixel structure, and more particularly to a pixel structure of a display device.

依照背板製程技術,主動式有機發光顯示器(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Display;AMOLED)的畫素結構可分成P型及N型驅動型式。P型驅動型式多應用在低溫多晶矽(Low Temperature Poly-Silicon;LTPS)的背板技術中。N型驅動型式多應用在非晶矽(a-si)及氧化銦錠鋅(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide;IGZO)背板技術中。According to the backplane process technology, the pixel structure of the Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Display (AMOLED) can be divided into a P-type and an N-type drive type. The P-type drive type is commonly used in the backplane technology of Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS). The N-type drive type is widely used in the amorphous-type (a-si) and Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) backsheet technology.

第7A圖為習知P型驅動型式的畫素示意圖。驅動電晶體PTFT2為P型,其閘-源極電壓係為資料電壓Dm與操作電壓PVDD間的壓差。有機發光二極體710係為一般有機發光二極體(normal OLED)。第7B圖為習知N型驅動型式的畫素示意圖。驅動電晶體NTFT2為N型,其閘-源極電壓係為資料電壓Dm與操作電壓PVEE間的壓差。有機發光二極體720係為一反相有機發光二極體(inverted OLED)。Fig. 7A is a schematic diagram of a pixel of a conventional P-type driving type. The driving transistor PTFT2 is of a P type, and its gate-source voltage is a voltage difference between the data voltage Dm and the operating voltage PVDD. The organic light emitting diode 710 is a general organic light emitting diode (normal OLED). Fig. 7B is a schematic diagram of a pixel of a conventional N-type driving type. The driving transistor NTFT2 is N-type, and its gate-source voltage is a voltage difference between the data voltage Dm and the operating voltage PVEE. The organic light emitting diode 720 is an inverted OLED.

然而,反相有機發光二極體較不易製做。為解決此問題,習知技術提供另一畫素結構。如第8圖所示,有機發光二極體810係為一般有機發光二極體,並且驅動電晶體NTFT2為N型。 有機發光二極體810的陽極耦接驅動電晶體NTFT2的源極。當有機發光二極體810的跨壓因元件老化而增加時,增加的跨壓將影響電晶體NTFT2的閘-源極電壓,進而降低電晶體NTFT2所產生的驅動電流,而產生烙印。However, reverse phase organic light emitting diodes are less likely to be fabricated. To solve this problem, the prior art provides another pixel structure. As shown in FIG. 8, the organic light-emitting diode 810 is a general organic light-emitting diode, and the driving transistor NTFT2 is N-type. The anode of the organic light emitting diode 810 is coupled to the source of the driving transistor NTFT2. When the voltage across the organic light-emitting diode 810 increases due to aging of the device, the increased voltage across the gate will affect the gate-source voltage of the transistor NTFT2, thereby reducing the drive current generated by the transistor NTFT2, resulting in an imprint.

再者,提供操作電壓PVEE的金屬膜係蒸鍍在玻璃基板上,其所產生的壓降將透過有機發光二極體810反映在驅動電晶體NTFT2的源極電壓,因而影響電晶體NTFT2的閘-源極電壓,使得畫面的亮度不均。Furthermore, the metal film provided with the operating voltage PVEE is vapor-deposited on the glass substrate, and the voltage drop generated by the organic light-emitting diode 810 is reflected in the source voltage of the driving transistor NTFT2, thereby affecting the gate of the transistor NTFT2. - The source voltage makes the brightness of the picture uneven.

開關單元210與發光元件240及電晶體TN2串聯於操作電壓ELVDD與ELVSS之間。在本實施例中,操作電壓ELVDD大於ELVSS。開關單元210根據控制信號ENB,將操作電壓ELVDD傳送至節點D,其中節點D耦接電晶體TN2的汲極。The switching unit 210 is connected in series with the light emitting element 240 and the transistor TN2 between the operating voltages ELVDD and ELVSS. In the present embodiment, the operating voltage ELVDD is greater than ELVSS. The switching unit 210 transmits the operating voltage ELVDD to the node D according to the control signal ENB, wherein the node D is coupled to the drain of the transistor TN2.

在本實施例中,電晶體TN2耦接於開關單元210與發光元件240之間。本發明並不限開關單元210的內部架構。在一可能實施例中,開關單元210係為一電晶體TN4。電晶體TN4的閘極 接收控制信號ENB,其汲極接收操作電壓ELVDD,其源極耦接節點D。In the present embodiment, the transistor TN2 is coupled between the switching unit 210 and the light emitting element 240.

發光元件240耦接節點S,並接收操作電壓ELVSS。本發明並不限定發光元件240的種類。只要能夠根據一驅動電流而發光的元件,均可作為發光元件240。在本實施例中,發光元件240係為一有機發光二極體(organic light-emitting diode;OLED)241。有機發光二極體241的陽極耦接節點S,其陰極接收操作電壓ELVSS。The light emitting element 240 is coupled to the node S and receives the operating voltage ELVSS.

在一補償期間,節點G的電壓等於節點D的電壓。在一重置期間,節點D的電壓等於一固定電壓。在一可能實施例中,該固定電壓等於操作電壓ELVDD。在一資料寫入期間,電晶體TN1 將資料信號DATAi 傳送至節點N。在本實施例中,重置期間早於資料寫入期間,並位於補償期間與資料寫入期間之間。稍後將會說明畫素Pij 的動作方式。During a compensation period, the voltage of node G is equal to the voltage of node D. During a reset, the voltage at node D is equal to a fixed voltage. In a possible embodiment, the fixed voltage is equal to the operating voltage ELVDD. During a data write, transistor TN1 transmits data signal DATA i to node N. In this embodiment, the reset period is earlier than the data write period and is between the compensation period and the data write period. The mode of operation of the pixel P ij will be explained later.

在其它實施例中,畫素Pij 更包括設定單元250及260。設定單元250可根據控制信號RST或COM,令節點N的電壓等於一參考電壓REF。在一可能實施例中,參考電壓REF係為一低電壓位準。在另一可能實施例中,參考電壓REF等於掃描信號SNj 。本發明並不限定設定單元250的電路架構。在本實施例中,設定單元250係為一電晶體TN5。電晶體TN5的閘極接收控制信號RST,其汲極接收參考電壓REF,其源極耦接節點N。In other embodiments, the pixels P ij further include setting units 250 and 260. The setting unit 250 can make the voltage of the node N equal to a reference voltage REF according to the control signal RST or COM. In a possible embodiment, the reference voltage REF is a low voltage level. In another possible embodiment, the reference voltage REF is equal to the scan signal SN j . The present invention does not limit the circuit architecture of the setting unit 250. In this embodiment, the setting unit 250 is a transistor TN5. The gate of the transistor TN5 receives the control signal RST, the drain of which receives the reference voltage REF, and the source of which is coupled to the node N.

同樣地,設定單元260亦係根據控制信號RST或COM,令節點S的電壓等於參考電壓REF或掃描信號SNj 。本發明亦不限定設定單元260的電路架構。在本實施例中,設定單元260係為一電晶體TN6。電晶體TN6的閘極接收控制信號RST或COM,其汲極參考電壓REF或掃描信號SNj ,其源極耦接節點S。Similarly, the setting unit 260 also makes the voltage of the node S equal to the reference voltage REF or the scan signal SN j according to the control signal RST or COM. The circuit architecture of the setting unit 260 is also not limited by the present invention. In this embodiment, the setting unit 260 is a transistor TN6. The gate of transistor TN6 receives control signal RST or COM, its drain reference voltage REF or scan signal SN j , and its source is coupled to node S.

在上述實施例中,電晶體TN1~TN6均為N型,但並非用以限制本發明。在其它實施例中,畫素Pij 內的電晶體均為P型,或可部份為P型,部份為N型。另外,在其它實施例中,為了降低元件成本,可省略設定單元250或260,或是同時省略設定單元250及260。In the above embodiments, the transistors TN1 to TN6 are all N-type, but are not intended to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, the transistors in the pixel P ij are all P-type, or may be partially P-type and partially N-type. In addition, in other embodiments, in order to reduce the component cost, the setting unit 250 or 260 may be omitted, or the setting units 250 and 260 may be omitted at the same time.

第3圖為第2圖的畫素的控制時序圖。第4圖為第2圖的節點N、S、D、G的電壓(VN 、VS 、VD 、VG )以及電晶體TN2的閘-源極電壓(Vgs)。Fig. 3 is a control timing chart of the pixels of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a graph showing the voltages (V N , V S , V D , V G ) of the nodes N, S, D, and G of Fig. 2 and the gate-source voltage (Vgs) of the transistor TN2.

在一起始期間310,掃描信號SNj 及控制信號COM為低 位準。因此,電晶體TN1及TN3不導通。由於控制信號RST為高位準,故導通電晶體TN5,並且節點N的電壓等於參考電壓REF。此時,電容C1將節點G耦合(coupling)至一低電位。在一可能實施例中,節點G的電壓VG =Vx+f2*(REF-VN ),其中,Vx為前一發光期間之節點G的電壓;f2=C1/C1+Cg_paras,其中C1為電容C1的容值,Cg_paras為電晶體TN2的閘極相關的旁路電容,其包含其它串或並聯的雜散電容,如電晶體TN2的閘-源極Cgs間的寄生電容、電晶體TN2的閘-汲極間的寄生電容Cgd、電晶體TN2的基極電容Cox、VN 為前一發光期間之節點N的電壓。During the initial period 310, the scan signal SN j and the control signal COM are at a low level. Therefore, the transistors TN1 and TN3 are not turned on. Since the control signal RST is at a high level, the transistor TN5 is turned on, and the voltage of the node N is equal to the reference voltage REF. At this time, the capacitor C1 couples the node G to a low potential. In a possible embodiment, the voltage of the node G is V G = Vx + f2 * (REF - V N ), where Vx is the voltage of the node G during the previous illumination period; f2 = C1/C1 + Cg_paras, where C1 is The capacitance of the capacitor C1, Cg_paras is the gate-related bypass capacitor of the transistor TN2, which contains other stray capacitances in series or parallel, such as the parasitic capacitance between the gate-source Cgs of the transistor TN2, the transistor TN2 gate - drain parasitic capacitance Cgd between the electrodes, the transistor base capacitance of Cox TN2, the node N V period before a light emitting voltage N.

由於節點G為低電壓,故不導通電晶體TN2。此時,電晶體TN6被導通,因此,節點S的電壓等於參考電壓REF。由於控制信號ENB為高位準,故導通電晶體TN4。此時,節點D的電壓等於操作電壓EVLDD。Since the node G is at a low voltage, the transistor TN2 is not conducted. At this time, the transistor TN6 is turned on, and therefore, the voltage of the node S is equal to the reference voltage REF. Since the control signal ENB is at a high level, the transistor TN4 is turned on. At this time, the voltage of the node D is equal to the operating voltage EVLDD.

在補償期間320,由於控制信號RST為高位準,因此,電晶體TN5及TN6分別將參考電壓REF寫入節點N及S。此時,由於控制信號COM為高位準,故導通電晶體TN3。節點G透過電晶體TN3連接節點D。由於控制信號ENB為低位準,因此,電晶體TN4不導通。此時,節點D的電荷對節點G充電。節點G與D的位準將為REF+Vt,其中REF為參考電壓,Vt為電晶體TN2的臨界電壓(threshold voltage)。在此期間,可偵測電晶體TN2的臨界電壓Vt,並儲存於電容C1。During the compensation period 320, since the control signal RST is at a high level, the transistors TN5 and TN6 write the reference voltage REF to the nodes N and S, respectively. At this time, since the control signal COM is at a high level, the transistor TN3 is turned on. The node G is connected to the node D through the transistor TN3. Since the control signal ENB is at a low level, the transistor TN4 is not turned on. At this time, the charge of the node D charges the node G. The levels of nodes G and D will be REF+Vt, where REF is the reference voltage and Vt is the threshold voltage of transistor TN2. During this period, the threshold voltage Vt of the transistor TN2 can be detected and stored in the capacitor C1.

在重置期間330,掃描信號SNj 、控制信號COM及RST均為低位準,因此,電晶體TN1、TN3、TN5及TN6不導通,並且節點N的電壓VN 、節點S的電壓VS 、節點G的電壓VG 保持不變。此 時,電晶體TN2不導通,故有機發光二極體241(即發光元件240)不發光。由於控制信號ENB為高位準,因而導通電晶體TN4,故節點D的電壓VD 等於操作電壓ELVDD。During the reset period 330, the scan signal SN j , the control signals COM and RST are both low level, and therefore, the transistors TN1, TN3, TN5, and TN6 are not turned on, and the voltage V N of the node N , the voltage V S of the node S , The voltage V G of the node G remains unchanged. At this time, since the transistor TN2 is not turned on, the organic light-emitting diode 241 (i.e., the light-emitting element 240) does not emit light. Since the control signal ENB is at a high level, the transistor TN4 is turned on, so the voltage V D of the node D is equal to the operating voltage ELVDD.

在資料寫入期間340,掃描信號SNj 為高位準,因此,電晶體TN1將資料信號DATAi傳送至節點N。由於電容C1的耦合效應,節點G的電壓VG =REF+Vt+f2*(DATAi -REF)。另外,透過C2的耦合效應,節點S的電壓VS 會被耦合至一與資料信號DATAi 相關的位準。在一可能實施例中,節點S的電壓VS 等於REF+(DATAi -REF)*f1,其中f1=C2/C2+Cs_paras,C2為電容C2的容值、Cs_paras為電晶體TN2的源極相關的旁路電容,包括有機發光二極體241的等效容值及其它並聯的雜散電容,如電晶體TN2的閘-源極間的寄生電容及閘-汲極間的寄生電容。During the data write period 340, the scan signal SN j is at a high level, and therefore, the transistor TN1 transmits the data signal DATAi to the node N. Due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C1, the voltage of the node G is V G = REF + Vt + f2 * (DATA i - REF). In addition, through the coupling effect of C2, the voltage V S of the node S is coupled to a level associated with the data signal DATA i . In a possible embodiment, the voltage V S of the node S is equal to REF+(DATA i -REF)*f1, where f1=C2/C2+Cs_paras, C2 is the capacitance of the capacitor C2, and Cs_paras is the source correlation of the transistor TN2. The bypass capacitor includes the equivalent capacitance of the organic light-emitting diode 241 and other parallel stray capacitances, such as the gate-source parasitic capacitance of the transistor TN2 and the parasitic capacitance between the gate and the drain.

在資料寫入期間340,需使電晶體TN2處於一開啟狀態,而有機發光二極體241不能被開啟,因此,電壓VS 需小於ELVSS+Voled,其中Volde為有機發光二極體241的導通電壓。另外,電晶體TN2的閘-源極電壓Vgs需大於臨界電壓Vt。電壓VS 如式(1)所示,而電壓Vgs如式(2)所示:VS =REF+f1*(DATAi -REF)≦ELVSS+Volde…(1)During the data writing period 340, the transistor TN2 needs to be in an on state, and the organic light emitting diode 241 cannot be turned on. Therefore, the voltage V S needs to be smaller than ELVSS+Voled, where Volde is the conduction of the organic light emitting diode 241. Voltage. In addition, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the transistor TN2 needs to be greater than the threshold voltage Vt. The voltage V S is as shown in the equation (1), and the voltage Vgs is as shown in the equation (2): V S = REF + f1 * (DATA i - REF) ≦ ELVSS + Volde (1)

Vgs=VG -VS ≧Vt=f2*(DATAi -REF)+REF+Vt-REF-f1*(DATAi -REF)≧Vt=(f2-f1)(DATAi -REF)+Vt≧Vt……………(2)Vgs=V G -V S ≧Vt=f2*(DATA i -REF)+REF+Vt-REF-f1*(DATA i -REF)≧Vt=(f2-f1)(DATA i -REF)+Vt≧ Vt...............(2)

由式(1)可得下式:f1≦(ELVSS+Volde-REF)/(DATAi -REF)……(3)From equation (1), the following equation can be obtained: f1≦(ELVSS+Volde-REF)/(DATA i -REF)......(3)

由式(2)可得下式:(f2-f1)(DATAi -REF)≧0……………………(4)From equation (2), the following equation can be obtained: (f2-f1)(DATA i -REF)≧0........................(4)

此時,電晶體TN2導通,節點D的電荷對節點S充電,但因節點D的電荷量少並且為固定位準,因此,節點S的電壓VS 只會有些微的變化,並且與臨界電壓Vt無關。At this time, the transistor TN2 is turned on, and the charge of the node D charges the node S, but since the amount of charge of the node D is small and is a fixed level, the voltage V S of the node S is only slightly changed, and the threshold voltage is Vt has nothing to do.

在發光期間350,控制信號ENB為高位準,使得電晶體TN4導通。此時,節點D的電壓VD 等於操作電壓ELVDD,且可使電晶體T2操作在飽和區。另外,在發光期間350,由於掃描信號SNj 、控制信號COM及RST均為低位準,因此,電晶體TN1、TN3、TN5及TN6均不導通。此時,節點N為一浮接狀態。節點S的電壓VS =Voled+ELVSS。節點G的電壓被電容C2耦合至一與Voled相關的位準,其值為:VG =REF+f2*(DATAi -REF)+Vt+f3*[Voled+ELVSS-[REF+f1*(DATAi -REF)]=REF[1-f2-f3+f1*f3]+DATAi *[f2-f1*f3]+f3*Voled+Vt+f3*ELVSS…(5)During the illumination period 350, the control signal ENB is at a high level, causing the transistor TN4 to be turned on. At this time, the voltage V D of the node D is equal to the operating voltage ELVDD, and the transistor T2 can be operated in the saturation region. In addition, in the light-emitting period 350, since the scan signal SN j , the control signals COM and RST are both low, the transistors TN1, TN3, TN5, and TN6 are not turned on. At this time, the node N is in a floating state. The voltage of node S is V S =Voled+ELVSS. The voltage at node G is coupled by capacitor C2 to a level associated with Voled, which is: V G = REF + f2 * (DATA i - REF) + Vt + f3 * [Voled + ELVSS - [REF + f1 * ( DATA i -REF)]=REF[1-f2-f3+f1*f3]+DATA i *[f2-f1*f3]+f3*Voled+Vt+f3*ELVSS...(5)

電晶體TN2的閘-源極電壓Vgs如下:VgS=VG -VS =REF[1-f2-f3+f1*f3]+DATAi *[f2-f1*f3]+(f3-1)*(Voled+ELVSS)+Vt………………(6)The gate-source voltage Vgs of the transistor TN2 is as follows: VgS = V G - V S = REF [1-f2 - f3 + f1 * f3] + DATA i * [f2 - f1 * f3] + (f3-1) * (Voled+ELVSS)+Vt..................(6)

電晶體TN2所產生的驅動電流I如下:I=Kp*(Vgs-Vt)2 …………………………………(8)The driving current I generated by the transistor TN2 is as follows: I = Kp * (Vgs - Vt) 2 ................................. (8)

其中Kp=1/2uCox*W/L,其中u為載子移動率、Cox為電晶體T2的單位面積電容、W/L為電晶體T2的通道寬長比。Where Kp = 1/2uCox*W/L, where u is the carrier mobility, Cox is the capacitance per unit area of the transistor T2, and W/L is the channel width to length ratio of the transistor T2.

將式(7)帶入式(8)後,可得下式:I=Kp*{REF[1-f2-f3+f1*f3]+DATAi *[f2-f1*f3]+(f3-1)*(Voled+ELVSS)+Vt-Vt}2 …………………………………(9)After introducing equation (7) into equation (8), the following equation can be obtained: I=Kp*{REF[1-f2-f3+f1*f3]+DATA i *[f2-f1*f3]+(f3- 1)*(Voled+ELVSS)+Vt-Vt} 2 .......................................(9)

假設電容C1與C2的容值遠大於電路各節點的寄生電容時,則可得下式:I=Kp*{[DATAi -REF]*[1-f1]}2 ………………(10)Assuming that the capacitances of capacitors C1 and C2 are much larger than the parasitic capacitance of each node of the circuit, the following equation can be obtained: I=Kp*{[DATA i -REF]*[1-f1]} 2 ..................( 10)

由式(10)可知,在發光期間350,電晶體TN2所產生的驅動電流I與電晶體TN2的臨界電壓Vt無關。由於發光元件240係根據驅動電流I而發光,因此,當不同畫素裡的電晶體TN2具有不同的臨界電壓時,發光元件240的亮度並不會受到影響。另外,電晶體TN2所產生的驅動電流I也不會受到操作電壓ELVDD變化的影響。As can be seen from equation (10), during the light-emitting period 350, the drive current I generated by the transistor TN2 is independent of the threshold voltage Vt of the transistor TN2. Since the light-emitting element 240 emits light according to the driving current I, the brightness of the light-emitting element 240 is not affected when the transistors TN2 in different pixels have different threshold voltages. In addition, the drive current I generated by the transistor TN2 is also not affected by the variation of the operating voltage ELVDD.

在本實施例中,不論是在重置期間330、資料寫入期間340或是發光期間350,節點D的電壓VD 均與臨界電壓Vt無關。因此,當節點D的電荷對節點S充電,或是節點D的電壓耦合至節點G時,電壓Vgs的變化均與臨界電壓Vt無關,因此,並不會造成額外的誤差。In the present embodiment, the voltage V D of the node D is independent of the threshold voltage Vt, whether during the reset period 330, the data writing period 340, or the light emitting period 350. Therefore, when the charge of the node D charges the node S, or the voltage of the node D is coupled to the node G, the change of the voltage Vgs is independent of the threshold voltage Vt, and therefore, no additional error is caused.

另外,在本實施例中,不論是在起始期間310、補償期間320、重置期間330及資料寫入期間340,有機發光二極體241均不發光。只有在發光期間350中,有機發光二極體241才會發光,因此,本發明之畫素具有高對比之顯示品質。In addition, in the present embodiment, the organic light-emitting diodes 241 do not emit light during the start period 310, the compensation period 320, the reset period 330, and the data writing period 340. Only in the light-emitting period 350, the organic light-emitting diode 241 emits light, and therefore, the pixel of the present invention has a high contrast display quality.

另外,亦可增加電容C1及C2的容值,使f3趨近於1,亦可將式(9)中的電壓Voled的影響降到最低。在本實施例中,在起始期間310,不導通電晶體TN2,因此,不會產生大電流經電晶體TN2流入有機發光二極體241,而使得有機發光二極體241發光。在此期間,若有機發光二極體241發光,將使得畫素的暗態不夠暗,進而大幅降低對比度。In addition, the capacitance values of the capacitors C1 and C2 can be increased to bring f3 closer to 1, and the influence of the voltage Voled in the equation (9) can be minimized. In the present embodiment, during the initial period 310, the transistor TN2 is not conducted, and therefore, a large current does not flow into the organic light-emitting diode 241 via the transistor TN2, so that the organic light-emitting diode 241 emits light. During this period, if the organic light-emitting diode 241 emits light, the dark state of the pixel will be made dark, and the contrast will be greatly reduced.

另外,補償期間320的長短可依需求而調整,並不限於單一資料的寫入時間,因此,可使高解析度面板更為容易實現。再者,重置期間330時,節點D的電壓為固定電壓,故可減少補償期間後的節點G的電壓偏移,進而可減少補償誤差,使得畫素呈現更佳的亮度。In addition, the length of the compensation period 320 can be adjusted according to requirements, and is not limited to the writing time of a single material, so that the high-resolution panel can be more easily realized. Moreover, in the reset period 330, the voltage of the node D is a fixed voltage, so that the voltage offset of the node G after the compensation period can be reduced, and the compensation error can be reduced, so that the pixel exhibits better brightness.
