第1圖係描繪本發明一實施例之一有機發光顯示器。 Fig. 1 is a view showing an organic light emitting display according to an embodiment of the present invention.

參照第1圖,根據本實施例之有機發光顯示器包含:複數個畫素,位於由掃描線S1至Sn及資料線D1至Dm所界定之一區域中;一顯示單元140,包含畫素142;一掃描驅動器110,用於驅動掃描線S1至Sn及一發光控制線E;一控制驅動器120,用於驅動第一控制線CL1及第二控制線CL2; 一資料驅動器130,用於驅動資料線D1至Dm;以及一定時控制器150,用於控制掃描驅動器110、控制驅動器120、及資料驅動器130。 Referring to FIG. 1 , the organic light emitting display according to the present embodiment includes: a plurality of pixels located in an area defined by the scan lines S1 to Sn and the data lines D1 to Dm; a display unit 140 including a pixel 142; a scan driver 110 for driving the scan lines S1 to Sn and an illumination control line E; a control driver 120 for driving the first control line CL1 and the second control line CL2; A data driver 130 for driving the data lines D1 to Dm; and a timing controller 150 for controlling the scan driver 110, the control driver 120, and the data driver 130.

掃描驅動器110供應一掃描訊號至掃描線S1至Sn。舉例而言,掃描驅動器110可如第3圖所示在一個訊框1F之一第四週期T4期間漸進地供應掃描訊號至掃描線S1至Sn。掃描驅動器110可如第4圖所示在一個訊框1F之一第三週期T3期間,同步地(例如:同時地)供應掃描訊號至掃描線S1至Sn。 The scan driver 110 supplies a scan signal to the scan lines S1 to Sn. For example, the scan driver 110 can progressively supply the scan signals to the scan lines S1 to Sn during a fourth period T4 of one frame 1F as shown in FIG. The scan driver 110 can synchronously (e.g., simultaneously) supply scan signals to the scan lines S1 to Sn during a third period T3 of one frame 1F as shown in FIG.

掃描驅動器110供應一發光控制訊號至發光控制線E,發光控制線E係同時耦合至各畫素142。舉例而言,掃描驅動器110可在一個訊框1F之除第四週期T4以外之其他週期T1、T2及T3期間,供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E。本文中,自掃描驅動器110供應之掃描訊號被設定成使畫素142所包含之電晶體導通之一電壓(例如:一低電壓),而發光控制訊號被設定成使電晶體關斷之一電壓(例如:一高電壓)。 The scan driver 110 supplies an illumination control signal to the illumination control line E, which is coupled to each pixel 142 at the same time. For example, the scan driver 110 can supply the illumination control signal to the illumination control line E during other periods T1, T2, and T3 of the frame 1F other than the fourth period T4. Herein, the scan signal supplied from the scan driver 110 is set such that the transistor included in the pixel 142 is turned on by a voltage (for example, a low voltage), and the light emission control signal is set to turn off the voltage of the transistor. (Example: a high voltage).

控制驅動器120供應一第一控制訊號至同時耦合至各畫素142之第一控制線CL1,並供應一第二控制訊號至同時耦合至各畫素142之第二控制線CL2。本文中,第一控制訊號CL1與第二控制訊號CL2彼此不交疊。舉例而言,控制驅動器120在此一訊框1F之一第一週期T1期間供應第一控制訊號至第一控制線CL1,並在此一訊框1F之一第二週期T2期間供應第二控制訊號至第二控制線CL2。本文中,第一控制訊號及第二控制訊號被設定成可使電晶體導通之一電壓(例如:一低電壓)。 The control driver 120 supplies a first control signal to the first control line CL1 coupled to each pixel 142 at the same time, and supplies a second control signal to the second control line CL2 coupled to each pixel 142 at the same time. Herein, the first control signal CL1 and the second control signal CL2 do not overlap each other. For example, the control driver 120 supplies the first control signal to the first control line CL1 during one of the first periods T1 of the frame 1F, and supplies the second control during one of the second periods T2 of the frame 1F. Signal to the second control line CL2. Herein, the first control signal and the second control signal are set such that the transistor is turned on by a voltage (for example, a low voltage).

在此一訊框1F之第四週期T4期間,資料驅動器130係與供應至掃描線S1至Sn之掃描訊號同步地供應一資料訊號至資料線D1至Dm。本文 中,資料驅動器130可在每一訊框中交替地供應左資料訊號及右資料訊號,以達成3D驅動。此外,資料驅動器130可在此一訊框1F之第三週期T3期間,供應一重設電壓Vr至資料線D1至Dm。本文中,重設電壓Vr可被設定成處於該資料訊號之一電壓範圍內之一電壓。 During the fourth period T4 of the frame 1F, the data driver 130 supplies a data signal to the data lines D1 to Dm in synchronization with the scanning signals supplied to the scanning lines S1 to Sn. This article The data driver 130 can alternately supply the left data signal and the right data signal in each frame to achieve a 3D drive. In addition, the data driver 130 may supply a reset voltage Vr to the data lines D1 to Dm during the third period T3 of the frame 1F. Herein, the reset voltage Vr can be set to a voltage within a voltage range of one of the data signals.

定時控制器150對應於自有機發光顯示器外部供應之一同步訊號而控制掃描驅動器110、控制驅動器120、及資料驅動器130。 The timing controller 150 controls the scan driver 110, the control driver 120, and the data driver 130 corresponding to one of the synchronization signals supplied from the outside of the organic light emitting display.

顯示單元140包含位於由掃描線S1至Sn及資料線D1至Dm所界定之區域中之畫素142。在第四週期T4期間,畫素142充以一當前訊框之一資料訊號(一當前資料訊號),並同步地(例如:同時地)發出對應於前一訊框之一資料訊號(例如:前一資料訊號)之光。為此,在第四週期T4期間,畫素142控制經由有機發光二極體自一第一電源ELVDD流至一第二電源ELVSS之一電流量。 The display unit 140 includes a pixel 142 located in an area defined by the scan lines S1 to Sn and the data lines D1 to Dm. During the fourth period T4, the pixel 142 is filled with a data signal (a current data signal) of one current frame, and synchronously (for example, simultaneously) sends a data signal corresponding to one of the previous frames (for example: The light of the previous data signal). For this reason, during the fourth period T4, the pixel 142 controls the amount of current flowing from a first power source ELVDD to a second power source ELVSS via the organic light emitting diode.

儘管為便於例示,在第1圖中例示發光控制線E耦合至掃描驅動器110,且控制線CL1及CL2耦合至控制驅動器120,但本發明並非僅限於此。實際上,發光控制線E以及控制線CL1及CL2可耦合至各種驅動器。舉例而言,發光控制線E以及控制線CL1及CL2可共同耦合至掃描驅動器110。 Although for convenience of illustration, the light-emitting control line E is coupled to the scan driver 110 in FIG. 1 and the control lines CL1 and CL2 are coupled to the control driver 120, the present invention is not limited thereto. In fact, the illumination control line E and the control lines CL1 and CL2 can be coupled to various drivers.

第3圖係為本發明一實施例之一種驅動方法之波形圖。 Fig. 3 is a waveform diagram of a driving method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

參照第3圖,根據本實施例之一個訊框被劃分成第一週期T1至第四週期T4。 Referring to Fig. 3, a frame according to the present embodiment is divided into a first period T1 to a fourth period T4.

首先,在第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間供應發光控制訊號,而在第四週期T4期間則不供應發光控制訊號。當供應發光控制訊號時,第八電晶體M8及第九電晶體M9被關斷。當第九電晶體M9被關斷時,第一電晶體M1與有機發光二極體OLED不再彼此電性耦合,藉此,在第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間,有機發光二極體OLED被設定成不發光狀態。 First, the light emission control signal is supplied during the first period T1 to the third period T3, and the light emission control signal is not supplied during the fourth period T4. When the light emission control signal is supplied, the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned off. When the ninth transistor M9 is turned off, the first transistor M1 and the organic light emitting diode OLED are no longer electrically coupled to each other, whereby the organic light emitting diode is during the first period T1 to the third period T3 The OLED is set to a non-light emitting state.

在第一週期T1期間,第一控制訊號被供應至第一控制線CL1。當第一控制訊號被供應至第一控制線CL1時,第四電晶體M4、第六電晶體M6、及第七電晶體M7被導通。 During the first period T1, the first control signal is supplied to the first control line CL1. When the first control signal is supplied to the first control line CL1, the fourth transistor M4, the sixth transistor M6, and the seventh transistor M7 are turned on.

當第四電晶體M4導通時,初始化電源Vint之電壓被供應至有機發光二極體OLED之陽極。當初始化電源Vint之電壓被供應至有機發光二極體OLED之陽極時,一寄生電容器(圖中未示出)中所充之電壓放電,該寄生電容器係等效地形成於有機發光二極體OLED中。 When the fourth transistor M4 is turned on, the voltage of the initialization power source Vint is supplied to the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED. When the voltage of the initialization power source Vint is supplied to the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED, a voltage charged in a parasitic capacitor (not shown) is discharged, and the parasitic capacitor is equivalently formed in the organic light emitting diode. In OLED.

當第六電晶體M6被導通時,初始化電源Vint之電壓被供應至第一節點N1。當第七電晶體M7被導通時,第一電源ELVDD之電壓被供應至第二節點N2。本文中,初始化電源Vint被設定成低於資料訊號之一電壓,因此在第一週期T1期間,第一電晶體M1被設定於一導通偏壓(on-bias)狀態中。然後,第一電晶體M1在該導通偏壓狀態下被初始化,進而提高顯示品質。 When the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, the voltage of the initialization power source Vint is supplied to the first node N1. When the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, the voltage of the first power source ELVDD is supplied to the second node N2. Herein, the initialization power source Vint is set to be lower than one of the data signals, so during the first period T1, the first transistor M1 is set in an on-bias state. Then, the first transistor M1 is initialized in the on-bias state, thereby improving the display quality.

在第二週期T2期間,第二控制訊號被供應至第二控制線 CL2。當第二控制訊號被供應至第二控制線CL2時,第三電晶體M3及第五電晶體M5被導通。當第五電晶體M5被導通時,第一電晶體M1被以二極體形式耦接。當第三電晶體M3被導通時,儲存於第二電容器C2中之前資料訊號之電壓被供應至第二節點N2。在此種情形中,第一節點N1處之電壓被初始化作為初始化電源Vint之電壓,該電壓低於資料訊號之電壓,因此第一電晶體M1被導通。 During the second period T2, the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2. When the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2, the third transistor M3 and the fifth transistor M5 are turned on. When the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, the first transistor M1 is coupled in the form of a diode. When the third transistor M3 is turned on, the voltage of the data signal is supplied to the second node N2 before being stored in the second capacitor C2. In this case, the voltage at the first node N1 is initialized as the voltage of the initialization power source Vint which is lower than the voltage of the data signal, so that the first transistor M1 is turned on.

當第一電晶體M1被導通時,施加至第二節點N2之資料訊號之電壓經由以二極體形式耦接之第一電晶體M1而供應至第一節點N1。在此種情形中,第一電容器C1儲存與資料訊號及第一電晶體M1之臨限電壓相對應之一電壓。 When the first transistor M1 is turned on, the voltage of the data signal applied to the second node N2 is supplied to the first node N1 via the first transistor M1 coupled in the form of a diode. In this case, the first capacitor C1 stores a voltage corresponding to the data signal and the threshold voltage of the first transistor M1.

在第三週期T3期間,保持供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E。 During the third period T3, the supply of the illumination control signal to the illumination control line E is maintained.

在第四週期T4期間,停止供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E。當停止供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E時,第八電晶體M8及第九電晶體M9被導通。當第八電晶體M8被導通時,第一電源ELVDD與第二節點N2彼此電性耦合。當第九電晶體M9被導通時,第四節點N4與有機發光二極體OLED彼此電性耦合。然後,第一電晶體M1控制經由有機發光二極體OLED自第一電源ELVDD流至第二電源ELVSS之一電流量,該電流量對應於施加至第一節點N1之電壓。在此種情形中,有機發光二極體OLED產生與供應至有機發光二極體OLED之電流量相對應之光(例如:具有一預定亮度之光)。 During the fourth period T4, the supply of the illumination control signal to the illumination control line E is stopped. When the supply of the light emission control signal to the light emission control line E is stopped, the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned on. When the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the first power source ELVDD and the second node N2 are electrically coupled to each other. When the ninth transistor M9 is turned on, the fourth node N4 and the organic light emitting diode OLED are electrically coupled to each other. Then, the first transistor M1 controls a current amount flowing from the first power source ELVDD to the second power source ELVSS via the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the voltage applied to the first node N1. In this case, the organic light emitting diode OLED generates light corresponding to the amount of current supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED (for example, light having a predetermined luminance).

在第四週期T4期間,掃描訊號被漸進地供應至掃描線S1至Sn。當掃描訊號被漸進地供應至掃描線S1至Sn時,對於每一水平行,各畫 素142所包含之第二電晶體M2被導通。當第二電晶體M2被導通時,來自一資料線(D1至Dm其中之任一者)之當前資料訊號被供應至各畫素142所包含之第三節點N3。在此種情形中,第二電容器C2充以對應於當前資料訊號之一電壓。實際上,根據本發明之實施例,藉由重複上述步驟而顯示影像。 During the fourth period T4, the scan signal is progressively supplied to the scan lines S1 to Sn. When the scan signal is progressively supplied to the scan lines S1 to Sn, for each horizontal line, each picture The second transistor M2 included in the element 142 is turned on. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, the current data signal from a data line (either one of D1 to Dm) is supplied to the third node N3 included in each pixel 142. In this case, the second capacitor C2 is charged with a voltage corresponding to one of the current data signals. In fact, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an image is displayed by repeating the above steps.

第4圖係為本發明另一實施例之一種驅動方法之波形圖。參照第4圖,對實質上相同於第3圖所示者不再予以贅述。 Figure 4 is a waveform diagram of a driving method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 4, the description is substantially the same as that shown in Fig. 3, and will not be described again.

參照第4圖,在根據本實施例之驅動方法之第三週期T3期間,同步地(例如:同時地)供應掃描訊號至掃描線S1至Sn,且與掃描訊號同步地供應重設電壓Vr至資料線D1至Dm。 Referring to FIG. 4, during the third period T3 of the driving method according to the present embodiment, the scanning signals are supplied to the scanning lines S1 to Sn synchronously (for example, simultaneously), and the resetting voltage Vr is supplied in synchronization with the scanning signals. Data lines D1 to Dm.

當掃描訊號在第三週期T3期間供應至第n掃描線Sn時,第二電晶體M2被導通。當第二電晶體M2被導通時,重設電壓Vr供應至第三節點N3。亦即,在第三週期T3期間,各畫素142中所包含之第三節點N3處之電壓被初始化作為重設電壓Vr。 When the scan signal is supplied to the nth scan line Sn during the third period T3, the second transistor M2 is turned on. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, the reset voltage Vr is supplied to the third node N3. That is, during the third period T3, the voltage at the third node N3 included in each pixel 142 is initialized as the reset voltage Vr.

隨後,在第四週期T4期間,漸進地供應掃描訊號至掃描線S1至Sn。當掃描訊號供應至第n掃描線Sn時,第二電晶體M2被導通。當第二電晶體M2被導通時,來自資料線Dm之當前資料訊號被供應至第三節點N3。在此種情形中,第二電容器C2充以對應於當前資料訊號之一電壓。 Subsequently, during the fourth period T4, the scanning signals are progressively supplied to the scanning lines S1 to Sn. When the scan signal is supplied to the nth scan line Sn, the second transistor M2 is turned on. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, the current data signal from the data line Dm is supplied to the third node N3. In this case, the second capacitor C2 is charged with a voltage corresponding to one of the current data signals.

本文中,在第三週期T3期間,第三節點N3被初始化為重設電壓Vr,因此在第四週期T4期間,第二電容器C2中可充以對應於當前資料訊號之一均勻電壓。 Here, during the third period T3, the third node N3 is initialized to the reset voltage Vr, so during the fourth period T4, the second capacitor C2 may be charged with a uniform voltage corresponding to one of the current data signals.

舉例而言,在第二週期T2之後,各畫素142所包含之第三節點N3處之電壓被設定成相對應於前資料訊號之電壓。亦即,各畫素142所包 含之第三節點N3處之電壓被設定成彼此不同,分別對應於前資料訊號。因此,在第三節點N3處之電壓未被初始化之情形中,前資料訊號之電壓會改變儲存於第二電容器C2中之當前資料訊號之電壓,因此,可能會發生串擾(crosstalk)現象。 For example, after the second period T2, the voltage at the third node N3 included in each pixel 142 is set to a voltage corresponding to the previous data signal. That is, each pixel 142 package The voltages at the third node N3 included are set to be different from each other and correspond to the previous data signals, respectively. Therefore, in the case where the voltage at the third node N3 is not initialized, the voltage of the previous data signal changes the voltage of the current data signal stored in the second capacitor C2, and thus crosstalk may occur.

第5圖係為本發明另一實施例之一種驅動方法之波形圖。參照第5圖,對實質上相同於第4圖所示者不再予以贅述。 Figure 5 is a waveform diagram of a driving method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 5, the description is substantially the same as that shown in Fig. 4, and will not be described again.

參照第5圖,在根據本實施例之驅動方法中,改變第一電源ELVDD之電壓。亦即,第一電源ELVDD在其中畫素142發光之第四週期T4期間被設定為一第一電壓VDD1,而在其中畫素142未發光之第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間被設定為低於第一電壓VDD1之一第二電壓VDD2。本文中,第二電壓VDD2被設定成所具有之一電壓高於初始化電源Vint之一電壓,俾使第一電晶體M1在第一週期T1期間被設定於導通偏壓狀態中。 Referring to Fig. 5, in the driving method according to the present embodiment, the voltage of the first power source ELVDD is changed. That is, the first power source ELVDD is set to a first voltage VDD1 during the fourth period T4 in which the pixel 142 emits light, and is set to be during the first period T1 to the third period T3 in which the pixel 142 is not illuminated. The second voltage VDD2 is lower than one of the first voltages VDD1. Herein, the second voltage VDD2 is set to have a voltage higher than one of the initialization power sources Vint, so that the first transistor M1 is set in the on-bias state during the first period T1.

舉例而言,在第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間,第一電源ELVDD被設定為第二電壓VDD2。在第四週期T4期間,第一電源ELVDD之電壓升高至第一電壓VDD1。 For example, during the first period T1 to the third period T3, the first power source ELVDD is set to the second voltage VDD2. During the fourth period T4, the voltage of the first power source ELVDD rises to the first voltage VDD1.

當第一電源ELVDD之電壓在第四週期T4期間升高至第一電壓VDD1時,被設定於一浮動狀態之第一節點N1處之電壓亦升高。當第一節點N1處之電壓如上所述升高時,可提高顯示(或表示)黑色之能力。 When the voltage of the first power source ELVDD rises to the first voltage VDD1 during the fourth period T4, the voltage at the first node N1 set to a floating state also rises. When the voltage at the first node N1 rises as described above, the ability to display (or represent) black can be improved.

舉例而言,在第二週期T2期間,利用第二電容器C2中所充之電壓對第一電容器C1充電。在此種情形中,第一電容器C1中所充之電壓被設定成低於所需電壓之一電壓,因此,當顯示(或表示)黑色時,有機發光二極體OLED發出少量之光。因此,在此實施例中,第一電源ELVDD 之電壓及與其對應之第一節點N1處之電壓在第四週期T4期間升高,故當顯示(或表示)黑色時,可防止有機發光二極體OLED發出少量之光。 For example, during the second period T2, the first capacitor C1 is charged with the voltage charged in the second capacitor C2. In this case, the voltage charged in the first capacitor C1 is set to be lower than one of the required voltages, and therefore, when black is displayed (or indicated), the organic light emitting diode OLED emits a small amount of light. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first power source ELVDD The voltage and the voltage at the first node N1 corresponding thereto rise during the fourth period T4, so that when the black is displayed (or indicated), the organic light-emitting diode OLED can be prevented from emitting a small amount of light.

參照第6圖,根據本發明實施例之有機發光顯示器在一發光週期期間接收一資料訊號。亦即,在一影像對應於左(或右)資料訊號之一週期期間,畫素142儲存對應於右(或左)資料訊號之一電壓。因此,在本發明之實施例中,可以一120Hz之驅動頻率達成一3D影像。在第6圖中,RD表示一右資料訊號,且LD表示一左資料訊號。此外,R表示對應於右資料訊號之發光,且L表示對應於左資料訊號之發光。 Referring to FIG. 6, an organic light emitting display according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a data signal during an illumination period. That is, during a period in which an image corresponds to a left (or right) data signal, the pixel 142 stores a voltage corresponding to one of the right (or left) data signals. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a 3D image can be achieved at a driving frequency of 120 Hz. In Fig. 6, RD represents a right data signal, and LD represents a left data signal. Further, R represents the light emission corresponding to the right data signal, and L represents the light emission corresponding to the left data signal.

When the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2, the fourth transistor M4' is turned on to supply the voltage of the initialization power source Vint to the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED. Except for the fourth transistor M4', the operation of the pixel according to the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pixel according to the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described again.

第8圖係為本發明一第三實施例之一畫素之電路圖。在第8圖中,由相同之參考編號表示實質上相同於第2圖之組件,故不贅述。 Figure 8 is a circuit diagram of a pixel of a third embodiment of the present invention. In the eighth embodiment, the components substantially the same as those in the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and therefore will not be described again.

參照第8圖,根據本實施例之畫素142包含一畫素電路210及有機發光二極體OLED。 Referring to FIG. 8, the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment includes a pixel circuit 210 and an organic light emitting diode OLED.

畫素電路210包含:第一驅動器146,用於儲存當前資料訊號;以及一第二驅動器212,用於控制供應至有機發光二極體OLED之一電流量,該電流量對應於前資料訊號。 The pixel circuit 210 includes: a first driver 146 for storing a current data signal; and a second driver 212 for controlling a current amount supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the previous data signal.

第二驅動器212包含一光電二極體PD,光電二極體PD在第一電源ELVDD與第一節點N1之間並列耦合至第一電容器C1。光電二極體PD控制自第一電源ELVDD供應至第一節點N1之一電流量(即第一節點N1處之電壓),該電流量對應於有機發光二極體OLED之亮度。實際上,光電二極體PD控制第一節點N1處之電壓,以補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化。 The second driver 212 includes a photodiode PD, and the photodiode PD is juxtaposed to the first capacitor C1 between the first power source ELVDD and the first node N1. The photodiode PD controls a current amount supplied from the first power source ELVDD to the first node N1 (ie, the voltage at the first node N1), which corresponds to the brightness of the organic light emitting diode OLED. In fact, the photodiode PD controls the voltage at the first node N1 to compensate for the degradation of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

以下,將闡述畫素之運作過程。在第四週期T4期間,光電二極體PD與有機發光二極體OLED之亮度成比例地控制自第一電源ELVDD流至第一節點N1之一電流量,即第一節點N1處之電壓之一增量。換言之,光電二極體PD控制第一節點N1處之電壓,使其隨著有機發光二極體OLED亮度之增加而增大。 In the following, the operation of the pixels will be explained. During the fourth period T4, the photodiode PD controls the amount of current flowing from the first power source ELVDD to the first node N1 in proportion to the brightness of the organic light emitting diode OLED, that is, the voltage at the first node N1. An increment. In other words, the photodiode PD controls the voltage at the first node N1 to increase as the brightness of the organic light emitting diode OLED increases.

舉例而言,當有機發光二極體OLED劣化時,有機發光二極體OLED產生具有一低亮度之光,該光對應於相同之灰階。因此,對應於有機發光二極體OLED之劣化,光電二極體PD會改變第一節點N1處之電壓。亦即,如第9圖所示,儘管供應具有相同灰階之一資料訊號,但光電二極體PD會改變第一節點N1處電壓之一增量。 For example, when the organic light emitting diode OLED is degraded, the organic light emitting diode OLED generates light having a low luminance corresponding to the same gray scale. Therefore, the photodiode PD changes the voltage at the first node N1 corresponding to the deterioration of the organic light emitting diode OLED. That is, as shown in Fig. 9, although one of the data signals having the same gray scale is supplied, the photodiode PD changes one increment of the voltage at the first node N1.

在有機發光二極體OLED發出對應於一具體灰階j(j係為一自然數)之光之一情形中,有機發光二極體OLED劣化時第一節點N1處電壓之增量被設定成較有機發光二極體OLED未劣化時第一節點N1處電壓之增量低一第一電壓V1。亦即,在本發明之所述實施例中,當有機發光二極體OLED劣化時,第一節點N1處電壓之增量被設定為低,藉此,可補償由有機發光二極體OLED之劣化所導致之亮度之降低。 In the case where the organic light emitting diode OLED emits light corresponding to a specific gray scale j (j is a natural number), the voltage increase at the first node N1 when the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated is set to The voltage at the first node N1 is lower than the first voltage V1 when the organic light emitting diode OLED is not deteriorated. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, the voltage increase at the first node N1 is set to be low, whereby the organic light emitting diode OLED can be compensated The decrease in brightness caused by deterioration.

實際上,根據本發明之實施例,可如方程式1所示表示供應至有機發光二極體OLED之電流量。 In fact, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the amount of current supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED can be expressed as shown in Equation 1.

Figure TWI612511BD00001
Figure TWI612511BD00001

在方程式1中,μ表示第一電晶體M1之遷移率,COX表示第一電晶體之閘極電容,Vth表示第一電晶體M1之臨限電壓,且W及L表示第一電晶體M1之通道寬度/通道長度之比率。此外,Vdata表示資料訊號之電壓,且△VPD表示由光電二極體PD引起之電壓之變化量。參照方程式1,供應至有機發光二極體OLED之電流量係由資料訊號之電壓及由光電二極體PD引起之電壓之變化量決定。在由光電二極體PD引起之電壓變化中,當有機發光二極體OLED劣化時,第一節點N1處電壓之增量被設定為低。因此,可補償有機發光二極體OLED亮度之降低。 In Equation 1, μ represents the mobility of the first transistor M1, COX represents the gate capacitance of the first transistor, Vth represents the threshold voltage of the first transistor M1, and W and L represent the first transistor M1. The ratio of channel width to channel length. Further, Vdata represents the voltage of the data signal, and ΔVPD represents the amount of change in the voltage caused by the photodiode PD. Referring to Equation 1, the amount of current supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED is determined by the voltage of the data signal and the amount of change in the voltage caused by the photodiode PD. In the voltage change caused by the photodiode PD, when the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, the voltage increase at the first node N1 is set to be low. Therefore, the reduction in the brightness of the organic light emitting diode OLED can be compensated for.

除添加光電二極體PD以補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化以外,根據本實施例之畫素142之運作過程實質上相同於第2圖所示第一實 施例中畫素之運作過程。實際上,可以第3圖至第5圖所示之驅動波形圖驅動根據本實施例之畫素142。 The operation of the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 except that the photodiode PD is added to compensate for the deterioration of the organic light emitting diode OLED. The operation process of the pixels in the example. Actually, the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment can be driven by the driving waveform diagrams shown in Figs. 3 to 5.

第10圖係為本發明一第四實施例之一畫素之電路圖。在第10圖中,由相同之參考編號表示實質上相同於第7圖所示之組件,故不贅述。 Figure 10 is a circuit diagram of a pixel of a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the tenth diagram, components which are substantially the same as those shown in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and therefore will not be described again.

參照第10圖,根據本實施例之畫素142包含一畫素電路220及有機發光二極體OLED。 Referring to FIG. 10, the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment includes a pixel circuit 220 and an organic light emitting diode OLED.

畫素電路220包含:第一驅動器146,用於儲存當前資料訊號;以及一第二驅動器222,用於控制供應至有機發光二極體OLED之一電流量,該電流量對應於前資料訊號。 The pixel circuit 220 includes: a first driver 146 for storing a current data signal; and a second driver 222 for controlling a current amount supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the previous data signal.

第二驅動器222包含一光電二極體PD,光電二極體PD在第一電源ELVDD與第一節點N1間並列耦合至第一電容器C1。光電二極體PD控制自第一電源ELVDD供應至第一節點N1之一電流量(即第一節點N1處之電壓),該電流量對應於有機發光二極體OLED之亮度。實際上,光電二極體PD控制第一節點N1處之電壓,以補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化。 The second driver 222 includes a photodiode PD, and the photodiode PD is coupled in parallel to the first capacitor C1 between the first power source ELVDD and the first node N1. The photodiode PD controls a current amount supplied from the first power source ELVDD to the first node N1 (ie, the voltage at the first node N1), which corresponds to the brightness of the organic light emitting diode OLED. In fact, the photodiode PD controls the voltage at the first node N1 to compensate for the degradation of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

第11圖係為本發明一第五實施例之一畫素之電路圖。在第11圖中,由相同之參考編號表示實質上相同於第7圖所示之組件,故不贅述。 Figure 11 is a circuit diagram of a pixel of a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In the eleventh embodiment, components which are substantially the same as those shown in Fig. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and therefore will not be described again.

參照第11圖,根據本實施例之畫素142包含一畫素電路230及有機發光二極體OLED。 Referring to FIG. 11, the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment includes a pixel circuit 230 and an organic light emitting diode OLED.

畫素電路230包含:第一驅動器146,用於儲存當前資料訊號;以及一第二驅動器232,用於控制供應至有機發光二極體OLED之一電流量,該電流量對應於前資料訊號。 The pixel circuit 230 includes: a first driver 146 for storing a current data signal; and a second driver 232 for controlling a current amount supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the previous data signal.

第二驅動器232包含一第三電容器C3,第三電容器C3耦合於 第二節點N2與有機發光二極體OLED之陽極之間。第三電容器C3控制第二節點N2處之電壓,該電壓對應於有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓。舉例而言,第三電容器C3控制第二節點N2處之電壓,以補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化。 The second driver 232 includes a third capacitor C3 coupled to the third capacitor C3. The second node N2 is between the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED. The third capacitor C3 controls the voltage at the second node N2, which corresponds to the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED. For example, the third capacitor C3 controls the voltage at the second node N2 to compensate for the degradation of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

可以第3圖至第5圖所示驅動波形圖其中任一者驅動根據本實施例之畫素142。 Any one of the driving waveform diagrams shown in Figs. 3 to 5 can drive the pixel 142 according to the present embodiment.

以下,將結合第3圖所示之驅動波形圖闡述畫素之運作過程。在第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間,發光控制訊號被供應至發光控制線E,而在第四週期T4期間,發光控制訊號未被供應至發光控制線E。當發光控制訊號被供應至發光控制線E時,第八電晶體M8及第九電晶體M9被關斷。然後,第一電晶體M1與有機發光二極體OLED不再彼此電性耦合,藉此,在第一週期T1至第三週期T3期間,有機發光二極體OLED被設定於不發光狀態中。當第九電晶體M9被關斷時,有機發光二極體OLED之陽極被設定為一電壓(例如:一預定電壓)Voled。 In the following, the operation of the pixel will be described in conjunction with the driving waveform diagram shown in FIG. During the first period T1 to the third period T3, the light emission control signal is supplied to the light emission control line E, and during the fourth period T4, the light emission control signal is not supplied to the light emission control line E. When the light emission control signal is supplied to the light emission control line E, the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned off. Then, the first transistor M1 and the organic light emitting diode OLED are no longer electrically coupled to each other, whereby the organic light emitting diode OLED is set in the non-light emitting state during the first period T1 to the third period T3. When the ninth transistor M9 is turned off, the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED is set to a voltage (for example, a predetermined voltage) Voled.

在第一週期T1期間,第一控制訊號被供應至第一控制線CL1,俾使第六電晶體M6及第七電晶體M7被導通。當第六電晶體M6被導通時,初始化電源Vint之電壓被供應至第一節點N1。當第七電晶體M7被導通時,第一電源ELVDD之電壓被供應至第二節點N2。在此種情形中,第一電晶體M1被初始化於一導通偏壓狀態。 During the first period T1, the first control signal is supplied to the first control line CL1, causing the sixth transistor M6 and the seventh transistor M7 to be turned on. When the sixth transistor M6 is turned on, the voltage of the initialization power source Vint is supplied to the first node N1. When the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, the voltage of the first power source ELVDD is supplied to the second node N2. In this case, the first transistor M1 is initialized in an on-bias state.

在第二週期T2期間,第二控制訊號被供應至第二控制線CL2。當第二控制訊號被供應至第二控制線CL2時,第三電晶體M3、第四電晶體M4’、及第五電晶體M5被導通。 During the second period T2, the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2. When the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2, the third transistor M3, the fourth transistor M4', and the fifth transistor M5 are turned on.

當第五電晶體M5被導通時,第一電晶體M1被以二極體形式耦接。當第三電晶體M3被導通時,儲存於第二電容器C2中之前資料訊號之電壓被供應至第二節點N2。當第四電晶體M4’被導通時,有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓Voled降至初始化電源Vint之電壓。在此種情形中,由於第三電容器C3之耦合,對應於有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處電壓之減小,第二節點N2處之電壓降低。 When the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, the first transistor M1 is coupled in the form of a diode. When the third transistor M3 is turned on, the voltage of the data signal is supplied to the second node N2 before being stored in the second capacitor C2. When the fourth transistor M4' is turned on, the voltage Voled at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED falls to the voltage of the initialization power source Vint. In this case, due to the coupling of the third capacitor C3, the voltage at the second node N2 is lowered corresponding to the decrease in the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

當前資料訊號之電壓被供應至第二節點N2時,第一電晶體M1被導通。當第一電晶體M1被導通時,施加至第二節點N2之電壓經由以二極體形式耦接之第一電晶體M1而供應至第一節點N1。在此種情形中,第一電容器C1儲存與前資料訊號、第一電晶體M1之臨限電壓、及有機發光二極體OLED之劣化相對應之一電壓。 When the voltage of the current data signal is supplied to the second node N2, the first transistor M1 is turned on. When the first transistor M1 is turned on, the voltage applied to the second node N2 is supplied to the first node N1 via the first transistor M1 coupled in the form of a diode. In this case, the first capacitor C1 stores a voltage corresponding to the previous data signal, the threshold voltage of the first transistor M1, and the degradation of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

舉例而言,當第四電晶體M4’被導通時,有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處電壓之變化如方程式2所示。 For example, when the fourth transistor M4' is turned on, the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED changes as shown in Equation 2.

方程式2:△Voled=Voled-(Vint) Equation 2: △ Voled = Voled - ( Vint )

在方程式2中,Voled表示在第一週期T1期間施加之有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓。參照方程式2,在第二週期T2期間,有機發光二極體OLED陽極處之電壓自在第一週期T1期間施加之電壓Voled降至初始化電源Vint之電壓。 In Equation 2, Voled represents the voltage at the anode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED applied during the first period T1. Referring to Equation 2, during the second period T2, the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED drops from the voltage Voled applied during the first period T1 to the voltage of the initialization power source Vint.

在此種情形中,有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處電壓之變化量(△Voled)係由有機發光二極體OLED之劣化決定。實際上,隨著有機 發光二極體OLED劣化,有機發光二極體OLED之電阻增大。因此,隨著有機發光二極體OLED劣化,有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處電壓之變化量(△Voled)增大。 In this case, the amount of change in the voltage at the anode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED (ΔVoled) is determined by the deterioration of the organic light-emitting diode OLED. In fact, with organic The light-emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, and the resistance of the organic light-emitting diode OLED is increased. Therefore, as the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, the amount of change (ΔVoled) of the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED increases.

舉例而言,對應於有機發光二極體OLED之劣化,有機發光二極體OLED之電阻增大。當有機發光二極體OLED之電阻增大時,在第一週期T1期間施加之有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓Voled增大。因此,隨著有機發光二極體OLED劣化,第二節點N2處電壓之減小量增大,藉此,可補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化。換言之,當第二節點N2處之電壓降低時,第一節點N1處之電壓亦降低。因此,隨著有機發光二極體OLED劣化,供應至有機發光二極體OLED之一電流量增加,藉此補償有機發光二極體OLED之劣化。 For example, the resistance of the organic light emitting diode OLED increases corresponding to the deterioration of the organic light emitting diode OLED. When the resistance of the organic light emitting diode OLED increases, the voltage Voled at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED applied during the first period T1 increases. Therefore, as the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, the amount of decrease in the voltage at the second node N2 is increased, whereby the deterioration of the organic light emitting diode OLED can be compensated. In other words, when the voltage at the second node N2 decreases, the voltage at the first node N1 also decreases. Therefore, as the organic light emitting diode OLED is deteriorated, the amount of current supplied to one of the organic light emitting diode OLEDs is increased, thereby compensating for the deterioration of the organic light emitting diode OLED.

在第三週期T3期間,保持供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E。 During the third period T3, the supply of the illumination control signal to the illumination control line E is maintained.

在第四週期T4期間,停止供應發光控制訊號至發光控制線E,俾使第八電晶體M8及第九電晶體M9被導通。當第八電晶體M8被導通時,第一電源ELVDD與第二節點N2彼此電性耦合。當第九電晶體M9被導通時,第四節點N4與有機發光二極體OLED之陽極彼此電性連接。然後,第一電晶體M1控制經由有機發光二極體OLED自第一電源ELVDD流至第二電源ELVSS之一電流量,該電流量對應於施加至第一節點N1之電壓。在此種情形中,有機發光二極體OLED產生與供應至有機發光二極體OLED之電流量相對應之光(例如:具有一預定亮度之光)。 During the fourth period T4, the supply of the light emission control signal to the light emission control line E is stopped, so that the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 are turned on. When the eighth transistor M8 is turned on, the first power source ELVDD and the second node N2 are electrically coupled to each other. When the ninth transistor M9 is turned on, the fourth node N4 and the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED are electrically connected to each other. Then, the first transistor M1 controls a current amount flowing from the first power source ELVDD to the second power source ELVSS via the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the voltage applied to the first node N1. In this case, the organic light emitting diode OLED generates light corresponding to the amount of current supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED (for example, light having a predetermined luminance).

在第四週期T4期間,掃描訊號被漸進地供應至掃描線S1至 Sn。當掃描訊號被漸進地供應至掃描線S1至Sn時,對於每一水平線,各畫素142所包含之第二電晶體M2被導通。當第二電晶體M2被導通時,來自一資料線(D1至Dm其中之任一者)之當前資料訊號供應至各畫素142所包含之第三節點N3。在此種情形中,第二電容器C2充以對應於當前資料訊號之一電壓。實際上,在根據本發明之實施例中,藉由重複上述步驟而顯示影像。 During the fourth period T4, the scan signal is progressively supplied to the scan line S1 to Sn. When the scan signal is progressively supplied to the scan lines S1 to Sn, for each horizontal line, the second transistor M2 included in each pixel 142 is turned on. When the second transistor M2 is turned on, the current data signal from a data line (either one of D1 to Dm) is supplied to the third node N3 included in each pixel 142. In this case, the second capacitor C2 is charged with a voltage corresponding to one of the current data signals. In fact, in an embodiment in accordance with the invention, the image is displayed by repeating the above steps.

第12圖係為例示根據本發明一第六實施例之一畫素之電路圖。在第12圖中,由相同之參考編號表示實質上相同於第11圖所示之組件,故不贅述。 Figure 12 is a circuit diagram illustrating a pixel according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 12, the components denoted substantially the same as those in Fig. 11 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and therefore will not be described again.

參照第12圖,根據本實施例之畫素包含一畫素電路240及有機發光二極體OLED。 Referring to Fig. 12, the pixel according to the present embodiment includes a pixel circuit 240 and an organic light emitting diode OLED.

畫素電路240包含:第一驅動器146,用於儲存當前資料訊號;以及一第二驅動器242,用於控制供應至有機發光二極體OLED之一電流量,該電流量對應於前資料訊號。 The pixel circuit 240 includes: a first driver 146 for storing a current data signal; and a second driver 242 for controlling a current amount supplied to the organic light emitting diode OLED, the current amount corresponding to the previous data signal.

第二驅動器242包含一第四電晶體M4’’,第四電晶體M4’’耦合於第二控制線CL2與有機發光二極體OLED之間。第四電晶體M4’’之一閘極耦合至第二控制線CL2。亦即,第四電晶體M4’’被以二極體形式耦接。當第二控制訊號被供應至第二控制線CL2時,第四電晶體M4’’使有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓能夠降至約為第二控制訊號之電壓。 The second driver 242 includes a fourth transistor M4'' coupled between the second control line CL2 and the organic light emitting diode OLED. One of the gates of the fourth transistor M4'' is coupled to the second control line CL2. That is, the fourth transistor M4'' is coupled in the form of a diode. When the second control signal is supplied to the second control line CL2, the fourth transistor M4'' enables the voltage at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED to be reduced to a voltage of about the second control signal.

亦即,除有機發光二極體OLED之陽極處之電壓Voled降至第二控制訊號之電壓而非初始化電源Vint之電壓以外,根據本實施例之畫素之 運作過程實質上相同於第11圖所示根據第五實施例之畫素。故不贅述。 That is, except for the voltage Voled at the anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED falling to the voltage of the second control signal instead of the voltage of the initialization power source Vint, the pixel according to the embodiment The operation process is substantially the same as the pixel according to the fifth embodiment shown in Fig. 11. Therefore, I will not repeat them.

儘管為便於例示而在根據本發明之實施例中已闡述電晶體係為PMOS電晶體,但本發明並非僅限於此。換言之,電晶體亦可被形成為NMOS電晶體。 Although the electromorphic system has been described as a PMOS transistor in the embodiment according to the present invention for convenience of illustration, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the transistor can also be formed as an NMOS transistor.

在本發明之實施例中,有機發光二極體OLED可對應於自驅動電晶體供應之一電流量而產生紅色光、綠色光、及藍色光,或可對應於自驅動電晶體供應之電流量而產生白色光。在有機發光二極體OLED產生白色光之情形中,利用一單獨之濾色片(color filter)或類似物達成一彩色影像。 In an embodiment of the present invention, the organic light emitting diode OLED may generate red light, green light, and blue light corresponding to a current amount supplied from the driving transistor, or may correspond to a current amount supplied from the self-driving transistor. And produce white light. In the case where the organic light emitting diode OLED generates white light, a color image is achieved using a separate color filter or the like.

綜上所述,一有機發光顯示器包含:複數個畫素,於複數個資料線、複數個掃描線、及複數個電力線之相交區域處排列成一矩陣形式。每一畫素通常包含一有機發光二極體、二或更多個電晶體及一或多個電容器,該等電晶體包含一驅動電晶體。 In summary, an organic light emitting display includes: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix form at intersections of a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of power lines. Each pixel typically includes an organic light emitting diode, two or more transistors, and one or more capacitors, the transistors including a drive transistor.

為達成一3D影像,有機發光顯示器在一16.6毫秒(ms)之週期期間包含四個訊框。一左影像顯示於該四個訊框中之一第一訊框中,且一右影像顯示於該四個訊框中之一第三訊框中。此外,一黑色影像顯示於該四個訊框中之一第二訊框及一第四訊框中。 To achieve a 3D image, the organic light emitting display includes four frames during a period of 16.6 milliseconds (ms). A left image is displayed in one of the four frames, and a right image is displayed in one of the four frames. In addition, a black image is displayed in one of the four frames and the fourth frame.

在快門式眼鏡(shutter glass)中,一左透鏡在第一訊框期間接收光,且一右透鏡在第三訊框期間接收光。在此種情形中,配戴快門式眼鏡之使用者會辨認到經由快門式眼鏡供應之一影像為一3D影像。在第二訊框及第四訊框期間顯示黑色影像之同時,左透鏡及右透鏡會自接收光切換至不接收光或者自不接收光切換至接收光,因此可防止串擾現象之發生。 In a shutter glass, a left lens receives light during a first frame and a right lens receives light during a third frame. In this case, the user wearing the shutter glasses will recognize that one of the images supplied via the shutter glasses is a 3D image. While the black image is displayed during the second frame and the fourth frame, the left lens and the right lens switch from receiving light to not receiving light or from receiving light to receiving light, thereby preventing crosstalk.

然而,在先前技術之有機發光顯示器中,在16.6毫秒之週期中包含四個訊框,因此,有機發光顯示器以一240Hz之驅動頻率被驅動。在有機發光顯示器以一高頻率被驅動之情形中,有機發光顯示器之功耗增大,且有機發光顯示器之穩定性降低。此外,有機發光顯示器之製造成本增大。因於第二訊框及第四訊框期間顯示黑色影像,故用於表示一灰階之峰值電流增大,且因此使有機發光二極體之使用壽命縮短。 However, in the prior art organic light emitting display, four frames are included in a period of 16.6 milliseconds, and therefore, the organic light emitting display is driven at a driving frequency of 240 Hz. In the case where the organic light emitting display is driven at a high frequency, the power consumption of the organic light emitting display is increased, and the stability of the organic light emitting display is lowered. In addition, the manufacturing cost of the organic light emitting display increases. Since the black image is displayed during the second frame and the fourth frame, it is used to indicate that the peak current of a gray scale is increased, and thus the service life of the organic light emitting diode is shortened.

在根據本發明實施例之畫素及使用該畫素之有機發光顯示器中,畫素發光,且可同步地(例如:同時地)充以資料訊號。因此,有機發光顯示器以一低頻率被驅動,藉此達成一3D影像。此外,在供應資料訊號之前,各畫素中所包含之驅動電晶體被初始化於一導通偏壓狀態,藉此顯示一均勻影像。 In the pixel according to an embodiment of the present invention and the organic light emitting display using the pixel, the pixels emit light, and the data signals can be charged synchronously (for example, simultaneously). Therefore, the organic light emitting display is driven at a low frequency, thereby achieving a 3D image. In addition, before the data signal is supplied, the driving transistor included in each pixel is initialized in an on-bias state, thereby displaying a uniform image.
