OLED像素補償電路和OLED像素驅動方法 OLED pixel compensation circuit and OLED pixel driving method

本發明涉及一種像素補償電路和像素驅動方法,尤指一種用於OLED顯示裝置的像素補償電路和像素驅動方法。 The present invention relates to a pixel compensation circuit and a pixel driving method, and more particularly to a pixel compensation circuit and a pixel driving method for an OLED display device.

OLED具有省電、適合大尺寸與全彩化的特點,但是在應用過程中也延伸出許多問題,例如OLED作為開關或驅動元件之用的薄膜電晶體(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)的材料特性的變異與材料老化程度不同會造成面板顯示的不均勻的現象。另外OLED長時間使用後會導致OLED器件老化,伴隨器件的老化會產生閥值電壓上升、發光效率下降的問題。為了解決上述問題本領域技術人員提出了多種像素補償電路用來補償OLED以及驅動元件閥值電壓變化。 OLED has the characteristics of power saving, suitable for large size and full color, but it also extends many problems in the application process, such as the material properties of thin film transistor (TFT) used for OLED as a switch or driving element. Variations and different degrees of aging of the material can cause unevenness in the display of the panel. In addition, after the OLED is used for a long time, the OLED device will be deteriorated, and the aging of the device may cause a problem that the threshold voltage rises and the luminous efficiency decreases. In order to solve the above problems, those skilled in the art have proposed various pixel compensation circuits for compensating for OLED and drive element threshold voltage variations.

但是這些像素補償電路的應用會引入新的問題:這些像素補償電路多是採用nTnC(T代表薄膜電晶體,C代表電容,n為表示薄膜電晶體數量或電容數量的整數)的結構。雖然採用這些結構的像素補償電路可以有效的補償OLED和驅動電晶體的閥值電壓的變化,但是像素補償電路會佔用像素區域(pixel)的大量空間。隨著技術發展像素的尺寸變得越來越小,這樣位於像素區域內部龐大的nTnC的補償電路會 嚴重影響OLED面板像素的開口率並且造成OLED面板內佈線空間壓縮。 However, the application of these pixel compensation circuits introduces a new problem: these pixel compensation circuits mostly use nTnC (T stands for thin film transistor, C stands for capacitance, and n is an integer representing the number of thin film transistors or the number of capacitors). Although the pixel compensation circuit using these structures can effectively compensate for variations in the threshold voltage of the OLED and the driving transistor, the pixel compensation circuit occupies a large amount of space of the pixel region (pixel). As the size of the technology development pixel becomes smaller and smaller, the compensation circuit of the huge nTnC located inside the pixel area will The aperture ratio of the pixels of the OLED panel is seriously affected and the wiring space in the OLED panel is compressed.

有鑑於此,本發明人潛心構思並更深入研究,終於發明出一種OLED像素補償電路和OLED像素驅動方法。 In view of this, the inventors have conceived and further studied, and finally invented an OLED pixel compensation circuit and an OLED pixel driving method.

Therefore, a wider signal line can be used in the wiring process to prevent a decrease in signal voltage due to the use of a thin signal line.

The method of the present embodiment comprises the following four steps: Step A, the threshold voltage of the charging process measurement module 20 is: t 1 corresponds to the state in FIG. 2, when the fifth transistor T 5 is turned on, the fourth node d is connected to the lead The second power source V SS , on the other hand, the threshold voltage measuring module 20 connects the third power source V DDL to the fifth node e, and at this time, the third power source V DDL charges the second capacitor C out ; Step B, the threshold voltage Compensation process: corresponding to the t 2 state in FIG. 2, at this time, the driving transistor T 8 is in a diode connection, the load driving module 10 connects the third node c to the fifth node e, and the second capacitor C out is discharged until driving.

如圖2和圖3所示,當OLED像素補償電路處於,閥值電壓測量模組20的充電過程時第一掃描端Sn,第二掃描端Sn-1以及發光控制端S2均為低電平,第三掃描端Sn-2為高電平。此時受第一掃描端Sn控制第一電晶體T1關斷;受第二掃描端Sn-1控制的第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4關斷;受第三掃描端Sn-2控制的第七電晶體T7導通;受發光控制端S2控制的第五電晶體T5導通,第六電晶體T6以及第三電晶體T3關斷。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the charging process of the threshold voltage measuring module 20, the first scanning end S n , the second scanning end Sn -1 and the illumination control end S 2 are both Low level, the third scanning end Sn -2 is at a high level. At this time, the first scan by a first control terminal S n transistor T is turned off. 1; a second transistor second terminal S n-1 scan controlled by T 2, the fourth transistor T is turned off. 4; the third scan by The seventh transistor T 7 controlled by the terminal S n-2 is turned on; the fifth transistor T 5 controlled by the light-emitting control terminal S 2 is turned on, and the sixth transistor T 6 and the third transistor T 3 are turned off.

當OLED像素補償電路處於閥值電壓測量模組20的充電過程時,由於第五電晶體T5以及第七電晶體T7導通從第三電源VDDL、第五節點e、第四節點d至第二電源VSS之間形成一條通路。處於上述通路中第五節點e、第四節點d之間的第二電容Cout被充電,又由於其他電晶體均處於關斷狀態所以在第五電晶體T5以及第七電晶體T7導通壓降忽略不計的情況下第二電容Cout充電完成時兩端的電壓為VDDL-VSSWhen the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the charging process of the threshold voltage measuring module 20, since the fifth transistor T 5 and the seventh transistor T 7 are turned on from the third power source V DDL , the fifth node e , and the fourth node d A path is formed between the second power sources V SS . The second capacitor C out between the fifth node e and the fourth node d in the above path is charged, and the fifth transistor T 5 and the seventh transistor T 7 are turned on because the other transistors are all in the off state. When the voltage drop is negligible, the voltage across the second capacitor C out is completed as V DDL -V SS .

如圖2和圖4所述,當OLED像素補償電路處於閥值電壓補償過程時第一掃描端Sn,第三掃描端Sn-2以及發光控制端S2均為低電平,第二掃描端Sn-1為高電平。此時受第一掃描端Sn控制第一電晶體T1關斷;受第二掃描端Sn-1控制的第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4導通;受第三掃描 端Sn-2控制的第七電晶體T7關斷;受發光控制端S2控制的第五電晶體T5導通,第六電晶體T6以及第三電晶體T3關斷。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, when the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the threshold voltage compensation process, the first scanning end S n , the third scanning end S n-2 and the illumination control terminal S 2 are both low level, second The scanning terminal Sn -1 is at a high level. At this time, the first scan by a first control terminal S n transistor T is turned off. 1; a second transistor second terminal S n-1 scan controlled by T 2, T. 4 of the fourth transistor is turned on; SUBJECTED third scan The seventh transistor T 7 controlled by S n-2 is turned off; the fifth transistor T 5 controlled by the light-emission control terminal S 2 is turned on, and the sixth transistor T 6 and the third transistor T 3 are turned off.

當OLED像素補償電路處於閥值電壓補償過程時,由於第一電晶體T1關斷,第二電晶體T2導通,此時第一節點a和第二節點b的電壓相等並且驅動電晶體T8處於二極體接法,所謂二極體接法就是驅動電晶體T8的閘極和汲極短接。此時第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4以及第五電晶體T5導通其他電晶體關斷,因此在第二電源VSS、第四節點d、第五節點e、第三節點c、第二節點b以及第二電源VSS之間形成一條環路。由於第二電容Cout在第二電容充電過程中充入數值為VDDL-VSS的電壓,所以此時第二電容Cout在上述環路中放電。上述環路的導通條件為:第三節點c和第二節點b之間的電勢差Ucb大於驅動電晶體T8的閥值電壓Vth並且第二節點b和第二電源VSS之間的電勢差大於有機發光二極體OLED的閥值電壓Vth_OLED。第二電容Cout沿上述環路放電過程中其兩端電壓不斷減少,直到其兩端電壓Ued不能維持驅動電晶體T8以及機發光二極體OLED導通為止。綜上所述,第二電容Cout放電完成時其兩端電壓Ued=Vth+Vth_OLED。另外為了防止在補償過程中有機發光二極體OLED發光VDDL的電壓值不能過大以致於OLED在補償過程中發光。 When the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the threshold voltage compensation process, since the first transistor T 1 is turned off, the second transistor T 2 is turned on, at which time the voltages of the first node a and the second node b are equal and the transistor T is driven. 8 is in the diode connection, the so-called diode connection is to drive the transistor T 8 of the gate and the drain is shorted. At this time, the second transistor T 2 , the fourth transistor T 4 , and the fifth transistor T 5 are turned on by other transistors, so that the second power source V SS , the fourth node d, the fifth node e, and the third node are c. A loop is formed between the second node b and the second power source V SS . Since the second capacitor C out is charged with a voltage of V DDL -V SS during the second capacitor charging process, the second capacitor C out is discharged in the above loop at this time. Conducting condition of the loop is: the potential difference between the third node and the second node b c Ucb difference is greater than the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T V th 8 and the potential difference between the node b and the second power is greater than V SS The threshold voltage V th — OLED of the organic light emitting diode OLED. The voltage of both ends of the second capacitor C out decreases along the above-mentioned loop discharge process until the voltage U ed at both ends thereof cannot maintain the driving transistor T 8 and the organic light emitting diode OLED to be turned on. In summary, when the second capacitor C out is discharged, the voltage across it is U ed =V th +V th_OLED . In addition, in order to prevent the voltage value of the organic light-emitting diode OLED light-emitting V DDL from being excessive during the compensation process, the OLED emits light during the compensation process.

如圖2和圖5所述,當OLED像素補償電路處於資料電壓寫入過程時第一掃描端Sn,第二掃描端Sn-1以及發光控制端S2均為低電平,第三掃描端Sn-2為高電平。此時受第一掃描端Sn控制第一電晶體T1導通;受第二掃描端Sn-1控制的第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4關斷;受第三掃描 端Sn-2控制的第七電晶體T7關斷;受發光控制端S2控制的第五電晶體T5導通,第六電晶體T6以及第三電晶體T3關斷。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, when the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the data voltage writing process, the first scanning end S n , the second scanning end Sn -1 and the illumination control terminal S 2 are both low level, and the third The scanning terminal Sn -2 is at a high level. At this time, the first scan by a first control terminal S n transistor T is turned on. 1; a second transistor second terminal S n-1 scan controlled by T 2, the fourth transistor T is turned off. 4; SUBJECTED third scan The seventh transistor T 7 controlled by S n-2 is turned off; the fifth transistor T 5 controlled by the light-emission control terminal S 2 is turned on, and the sixth transistor T 6 and the third transistor T 3 are turned off.

當OLED像素補償電路處於資料電壓寫入過程時,由於第一電晶體T1、第五電晶體T5導通並且其他電晶體關斷,所以在資料信號端DL、第一節點a、第四節點b以及第二電源VSS之間形成通路。串接於上述通路中的第一電容C1被充電,第一電容C1充電完成時其兩端的電壓Uab為資料信號端電壓VDL和第二電源VSS的電勢差VDL-VSS。在資料電壓寫入過程中,由於第四電晶體T4、第六電晶體T6以及第七電晶體T7關斷,所以第二電容Cout處於浮空狀態,在資料電壓寫入過程中第二電容Cout兩端的電壓不改變。 When the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the data voltage writing process, since the first transistor T 1 and the fifth transistor T 5 are turned on and the other transistors are turned off, at the data signal terminal D L , the first node a, the fourth A path is formed between the node b and the second power source V SS . Connected in series with the passage of the first capacitor C 1 is charged, the voltage across the first capacitor C 1 to charge completion Uab voltage VDL electrical data signal and a second power supply terminal V SS potential difference V DL -V SS. During the data voltage writing process, since the fourth transistor T 4 , the sixth transistor T 6 , and the seventh transistor T 7 are turned off, the second capacitor C out is in a floating state during the data voltage writing process. The voltage across the second capacitor Cout does not change.

如圖2和圖6所述,當OLED像素補償電路處於發光顯示過程時第一掃描端Sn,第二掃描端Sn-1以及均為低電平,第三掃描端Sn-2發光控制端S2為高電平。此時受第一掃描端Sn控制第一電晶體T1關斷;受第二掃描端Sn-1控制的第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4關斷;受第三掃描端Sn-2控制的第七電晶體T7關斷;受發光控制端S2控制的第五電晶體T5關斷,第六電晶體T6以及第三電晶體T3導通。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, when the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the illuminating display process, the first scanning end S n , the second scanning end Sn -1 and both are low level, and the third scanning end Sn -2 illuminates. The control terminal S 2 is at a high level. At this time, the first scan by a first control terminal S n transistor T is turned off. 1; a second transistor second terminal S n-1 scan controlled by T 2, the fourth transistor T is turned off. 4; the third scan by The seventh transistor T 7 controlled by the terminal S n-2 is turned off; the fifth transistor T 5 controlled by the light-emission control terminal S 2 is turned off, and the sixth transistor T 6 and the third transistor T 3 are turned on.

當OLED像素補償電路處於發光顯示過程時,由於第六電晶體T6以及第三電晶體T3導通其他電晶體關斷,在OLED像素補償電路中形成兩條通路:通路1從V-DDH、第三節點c、第二節點b至第二電源VSS;通路2從參考電源Vr、第五節點e、第四節點d至第一節點a。對於通路1,如果驅動電晶體T8的閘極電壓Va和第一電源VDDH電壓差值大於驅動電晶體T8的閥值電壓Vth時驅動電晶體T8導通。由於有機發光二極體 OLED和驅動電晶體T8串接,所以流過機發光二極體OLED的電流等於流過驅動電晶體T8第一極(汲極)和第二極(源極)之間的電流。綜上所述,當驅動電晶體T8導通時流過機發光二極體OLED的電流和第一節點a的電壓Va滿足如下關係:IOLED=0.5μpCOX(W/L)(VDDH-Va-Vth)2 (式1.1) When the OLED pixel compensation circuit is in the illuminating display process, since the sixth transistor T 6 and the third transistor T 3 turn on other transistors to turn off, two paths are formed in the OLED pixel compensation circuit: the path 1 is from V-DDH, The third node c, the second node b to the second power source V SS ; the path 2 is from the reference power source V r , the fifth node e, and the fourth node d to the first node a. For driving transistor T path 1, if the driving transistor T 8 of the gate voltage V a and the first supply voltage V DDH difference is greater than the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor T 8 8 turned on. Since the organic light emitting diode OLED and the driving transistor T 8 are connected in series, the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED is equal to flowing through the first pole (drain) and the second pole (source) of the driving transistor T 8 . The current between. In summary, when the driving transistor T 8 is turned on, the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED and the voltage V a of the first node a satisfy the following relationship: I OLED = 0.5 μ p C OX (W/L) (V) DDH -V a -V th ) 2 (Formula 1.1)

另外串接於通路2的第一電容C1、第二電容Cout以及參考電源疊加至第一節點a,由此得出第一節點a處的電壓Va:Va=Vr-Vth-Vth_OLED+VDL (式1.2) In addition, the first capacitor C 1 , the second capacitor C out , and the reference power source connected in series with the path 2 are superimposed on the first node a, thereby obtaining the voltage V a at the first node a : V a =V r -V th -V th_OLED +V DL (Equation 1.2)

將式1.2帶入式1.1可得:IOLED=0.5μpCOX(W/L)(VDDH-Vr+Vth_OLED-VDL)2 (式1.3) Bringing Equation 1.2 into Equation 1.1 gives: I OLED = 0.5μ p C OX (W/L) (V DDH -V r +V th_OLED -V DL ) 2 (Equation 1.3)

從式1.3可知流過有機發光二極體OLED的電流IOLED和VDDH、Vr、Vth_OLED以及VDL有關和驅動電晶體T8的閥值電壓Vth無關,而有機發光二極體OLED的亮度由流過有機發光二極體OLED的電流IOLED決定,所以透過本發明OLED像素補償電路的補償之後可以消除驅動電晶體T8的閥值電壓Vth的誤差對機發光二極體OLED的影響。另外有機發光二極體OLED長時間使用後會發生器件老化,伴隨器件老化會產生閥值電壓Vth_OLED上升、發光效率下降等問題,而在本實施例中IOLED的運算式中還包含Vth_OLED項,Vth_OLED的上升可以使IOLED增長,增長的電流可以用來補償下降的發光效率,從而解決器件老化導致的發光效率下降的問題。 It can be seen from Equation 1.3 that the current I OLED flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED and V DDH , V r , V th — OLED and V DL are independent of the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor T 8 , and the organic light emitting diode OLED is related. The brightness is determined by the current I OLED flowing through the organic light emitting diode OLED, so that the error of the threshold voltage V th of the driving transistor T 8 can be eliminated after the compensation of the OLED pixel compensation circuit of the present invention. Impact. In addition, the aging of the organic light-emitting diode OLED may occur after a long period of use, and the aging of the device may cause problems such as an increase in the threshold voltage V th — OLED and a decrease in luminous efficiency. In the embodiment, the operational expression of the I OLED further includes V th — OLED . As a result, the rise of V th — OLED can cause the I OLED to grow, and the increased current can be used to compensate for the reduced luminous efficiency, thereby solving the problem of reduced luminous efficiency caused by device aging.
