具體而言,電晶體T7之控制端接收低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S1[N]使得電晶體T7導通。低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S2[N]導通電晶體T3、T4,使得驅動電晶體Td的控制端被重置到參考電壓準位VREF。接著,低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S2[N]導通電晶體T2,透過電晶體T2將資料訊號VDATA寫入電容Cst的第一端。同時,系統高電壓OVDD透過電晶體T3、T4對驅動電晶體Td的控制端充電,直到驅動電晶體Td的第一端和控制端的壓差為OVDD-|Vth|,其中|Vth|為驅動電晶體Td的臨界電壓。 Specifically, the control terminal of the transistor T7 receives the scanning control signal S1 [N] at a low voltage level, so that the transistor T7 is turned on. The scan control signal S2 [N] of the low voltage level turns on the transistors T3 and T4, so that the control terminal of the driving transistor Td is reset to the reference voltage level V REF . Then, the scan control signal S2 [N] at the low voltage level turns on the transistor T2, and the data signal V DATA is written into the first terminal of the capacitor Cst through the transistor T2. At the same time, the system high voltage OVDD charges the control terminal of the driving transistor Td through the transistors T3 and T4 until the voltage difference between the first terminal and the control terminal of the driving transistor Td is OVDD- | Vth |, where | Vth | The critical voltage of the crystal Td.

之後,低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S1[N+1]重置發光元件OLED的陽極電壓準位。低電壓準位的發光控制訊號EM導通電晶體T1和T5。電容Cst的第一端透過電晶體T1接收參考電壓準位VREF。因此,電容Cst的第二端的電壓準位由OVDD-|Vth|轉變為OVDD-|Vth|-VDATA+VREF。如此一來,驅動電流I1如下式所示:I1=k(VSG-|Vth|)2=k[0VDD-(0VDD-|Vth|-VDATA+VREF)-|Vth|]2=k(VDATA-VREF)2 After that, the scan control signal S1 [N + 1] of the low voltage level resets the anode voltage level of the light emitting element OLED. The low-level light-emitting control signal EM turns on the crystals T1 and T5. The first terminal of the capacitor Cst receives the reference voltage level V REF through the transistor T1. Therefore, the voltage level of the second terminal of the capacitor Cst is changed from OVDD- | Vth | to OVDD- | Vth | -V DATA + V REF . In this way, the driving current I1 is as follows: I1 = k (V SG- | Vth |) 2 = k [0VDD- (0VDD- | Vth | -V DATA + V REF )-| Vth |] 2 = k (V DATA -V REF ) 2

此外,如第4B圖所示,在一般顯示期間Pnormal,檢測電路180中的檢測電晶體Tct根據檢測控制訊號CS維持關 斷,以使得驅動訊號Vg和檢測電路180的輸入訊號(例如:檢測訊號CT、定電壓訊號或接地訊號等等)互相獨立。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, during the normal display period P normal , the detection transistor Tct in the detection circuit 180 is kept off according to the detection control signal CS, so that the driving signal Vg and the input signal of the detection circuit 180 (for example: detection Signal CT, constant voltage signal or ground signal, etc.) are independent of each other.

請參考第5圖。第5圖係依據本揭示內容之其他部分實施例所繪示的另一種像素100b的詳細示意圖。在第5圖所示實施例中,與第2圖的實施例中相似的元件係以相同的元件符號表示,其操作已於先前段落說明者,於此不再贅述。和第2圖所示實施例相比,在本實施例中,在檢測期間Ptest,由補償電路160中的電晶體T7作為檢測電路180進行檢測。 Please refer to Figure 5. FIG. 5 is a detailed schematic diagram of another pixel 100b according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, components similar to those in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 are represented by the same component symbols, and their operations have been described in the previous paragraph, and will not be repeated here. Compared with the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, during the test period P test , the transistor T7 in the compensation circuit 160 is used as the detection circuit 180 for detection.

具體而言,在一般顯示期間Pnormal,電晶體T7用以根據掃描控制訊號S1[N]選擇性的導通以進行補償。在檢測期間Ptest,電晶體T7用以根據檢測控制訊號CS選擇性的導通以進行檢測。 Specifically, during the normal display period P normal , the transistor T7 is used to selectively turn on according to the scan control signal S1 [N] for compensation. During the test period P test , the transistor T7 is used to selectively conduct conduction according to the detection control signal CS for detection.

為便於說明起見,像素100b當中各個元件的具體操作將於以下段落中搭配圖式進行說明。請一併參考第6圖和第7圖。第6圖係依據本揭示內容之部分實施例所繪示第5圖之像素100b的訊號時序示意圖。第7圖係依據本揭示內容之部分實施例所繪示第5圖之像素100b中各電晶體之狀態示意圖。 For the convenience of description, the specific operations of each element in the pixel 100b will be described in conjunction with the drawings in the following paragraphs. Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 together. FIG. 6 is a schematic timing diagram of signals of the pixel 100b of FIG. 5 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing states of the transistors in the pixel 100b of FIG. 5 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

在第6圖所示實施例中,與第3圖的實施例相似,分為檢測期間Ptest和一般顯示期間Pnormal。一般顯示期間Pnormal的操作已於先前段落說明,於此不再贅述。在檢測期間Ptest,掃描控制訊號S1[N]、S2[N]和發光控制訊號EM依序轉為低電壓準位,而掃描控制訊號S1[N]作為檢測控制訊號CS由高電壓準位分別轉為低電壓準位。 The embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and is divided into a detection period P test and a normal display period P normal . The operation of P normal during the normal display has been described in the previous paragraph, and is not repeated here. During the test period P test , the scan control signals S1 [N], S2 [N] and the light emission control signal EM are sequentially turned to a low voltage level, and the scan control signal S1 [N] is used as a detection control signal CS by a high voltage level Turn to low voltage levels respectively.

具體而言,如第7圖所示,在檢測期間Ptest,轉為 低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S1[N]作為檢測控制訊號CS,使得電晶體T7導通以接收檢測訊號CT。低電壓準位的掃描控制訊號S2[N]使得電晶體T3導通,以將檢測訊號CT傳送至驅動電晶體Td之控制端。而低電壓準位的發光控制訊號EM使得電晶體T5導通以進行檢測。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, during the test period P test , the scan control signal S1 [N] turned to a low voltage level is used as the detection control signal CS, so that the transistor T7 is turned on to receive the detection signal CT. The scan control signal S2 [N] of the low voltage level causes the transistor T3 to be turned on to transmit the detection signal CT to the control terminal of the driving transistor Td. The low-voltage light-emitting control signal EM causes the transistor T5 to be turned on for detection.

此外,在檢測期間Ptest,參考電壓準位VREF係為檢測訊號CT。換言之,參考電壓準位VREF的電壓準位即為要給予驅動電晶體Td之控制端的電壓準位。資料訊號VDATA之電壓準位可為任一固定直流電壓值。 In addition, during the test period P test , the reference voltage level V REF is the detection signal CT. In other words, the voltage level of the reference voltage level V REF is the voltage level to be given to the control terminal of the driving transistor Td. The voltage level of the data signal V DATA can be any fixed DC voltage value.

如此一來,在檢測期間Ptest,檢測電路180中的電晶體T7根據檢測控制訊號CS導通,接收檢測訊號CT並輸出檢測訊號CT至第一節點N1以作為驅動訊號Vg。驅動電晶體Td根據驅動訊號Vg輸出驅動電流I1至發光元件140,以點亮發光元件140進行檢測。 In this way, during the test period P test , the transistor T7 in the detection circuit 180 is turned on according to the detection control signal CS, receives the detection signal CT and outputs the detection signal CT to the first node N1 as the driving signal Vg. The driving transistor Td outputs a driving current I1 to the light emitting element 140 according to the driving signal Vg, so as to light up the light emitting element 140 for detection.

請參考第8圖。第8圖係依據本揭示內容之部分實施例所繪示的一種顯示面板的示意圖。如第8圖所示,顯示面板包含第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]、第二色像素Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]和第三色像素Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]。 Please refer to Figure 8.

在部分實施例中,像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]、Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]和Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]可由第2圖中的像素100a來實施。如第8圖所示,第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]中的檢測電路180相互耦接。具體而言,第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]中的各個檢測電路180的檢測電晶體Tct的第一端透過檢測訊號線Ldr相互耦接。相似地,第二色像素Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]中的檢 測電路180透過檢測訊號線Ldg相互耦接。第三色像素Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]中的檢測電路180透過檢測訊號線Ldb相互耦接。 In some embodiments, the pixels Pr [1,1] ~ Pr [n, n], Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n], and Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] can be The pixel 100a in FIG. 2 is implemented. As shown in FIG. 8, the detection circuits 180 in the first color pixels Pr [1,1] to Pr [n, n] are coupled to each other. Specifically, the first ends of the detection transistors Tct of the respective detection circuits 180 in the first color pixels Pr [1,1] to Pr [n, n] are coupled to each other through the detection signal line L dr . Similarly, the detection circuits 180 in the second color pixels Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n] are coupled to each other through the detection signal line L dg . The detection circuits 180 in the third color pixels Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] are coupled to each other through the detection signal line L db .

在其他部分實施例中,像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]、Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]和Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]可由第5圖中的像素100b來實施。具體而言,第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]中的各個檢測電路180的電晶體T7的第一端透過檢測訊號線Ldr相互耦接。為方便說明起見,下述段落將以像素100a為例進行描述。 In other embodiments, the pixels Pr [1,1] ~ Pr [n, n], Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n], and Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] can be determined by The pixel 100b in FIG. 5 is implemented. Specifically, the first ends of the transistors T7 of the detection circuits 180 in the first color pixels Pr [1,1] to Pr [n, n] are coupled to each other through the detection signal line L dr . For convenience of description, the following paragraphs will be described using the pixel 100a as an example.

操作上,第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]的各個檢測電晶體Tct透過檢測訊號線Ldr接收第一檢測訊號CTr。第二色像素Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]的各個檢測電晶體Tct透過檢測訊號線Ldg接收第二檢測訊號CTg。第三色像素Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]的各個檢測電晶體Tct透過檢測訊號線Ldb接收第三檢測訊號CTb。在部分實施例中,第一檢測訊號CTr位於第一電壓準位,而第二檢測訊號CTg位於第二電壓準位。第一電壓準位可不同於第二電壓準位。 In operation, each detection transistor Tct of the first color pixels Pr [1,1] ~ Pr [n, n] receives the first detection signal CTr through the detection signal line L dr . Each detection transistor Tct of the second color pixels Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n] receives the second detection signal CTg through the detection signal line L dg . Each detection transistor Tct of the third color pixel Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] receives the third detection signal CTb through the detection signal line L db . In some embodiments, the first detection signal CTr is at a first voltage level, and the second detection signal CTg is at a second voltage level. The first voltage level may be different from the second voltage level.

在部分實施例中,檢測期間包含第一檢測期間、第二檢測期間和第三檢測期間。在第一檢測期間,由像素100中的第一色像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]的檢測電路180之各者提供第一檢測訊號CTr至相應的補償電路160。在第二檢測期間,由像素100中的第二色像素Pg的檢測電路180之各者提供第二檢測訊號CTg至相應的補償電路160。在第三檢測期間,由像素100中的第三色像素Pb的檢測電路180之各者提供第三檢測訊號CTb至相應的補償電路160。 In some embodiments, the detection period includes a first detection period, a second detection period, and a third detection period. During the first detection period, each of the detection circuits 180 of the first color pixels Pr [1,1] to Pr [n, n] in the pixel 100 provides the first detection signal CTr to the corresponding compensation circuit 160. During the second detection period, each of the detection circuits 180 of the second color pixel Pg in the pixels 100 provides a second detection signal CTg to the corresponding compensation circuit 160. During the third detection period, each of the detection circuits 180 of the third color pixel Pb in the pixels 100 provides a third detection signal CTb to the corresponding compensation circuit 160.

值得注意的是,上述各種色像素的檢測訊號的電 壓準位的高低或期間長短僅為方便說明起見之示例,並分用以限制本揭示內容。本領域具有通常知識者可依據實際需求調整檢測訊號的電壓準位。 It is worth noting that the electrical signals of the detection signals of the above-mentioned various color pixels are The level of the pressure level or the length of the period is only an example for convenience of explanation, and is used to limit the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can adjust the voltage level of the detection signal according to actual needs.

換言之,不同顏色之色像素的檢測訊號CTr、CTg和CTb相互獨立。不同檢測訊號CTr、CTg和CTb的電壓準位可不相同。在其他部分實施例中,檢測期間可包含其他檢測期間。在同一檢測期間,不同色像素的檢測訊號可給予相同或不同的電壓準位。 In other words, the detection signals CTr, CTg, and CTb of color pixels of different colors are independent of each other. The voltage levels of different detection signals CTr, CTg, and CTb may be different. In other embodiments, the detection period may include other detection periods. During the same detection period, the detection signals of different color pixels can be given the same or different voltage levels.

如此一來,在部分實施例中,藉由不同電壓準位的檢測訊號CTr、CTg和CTb得以顯示出紅色、綠色、藍色、黑色或白色等等測試圖樣。 As a result, in some embodiments, the test signals CTr, CTg, and CTb of different voltage levels can display test patterns such as red, green, blue, black, or white.

另外,在部分實施例中,如第6圖所示,顯示面板中的像素的檢測電晶體Tct的控制端相互連接。換言之,像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]、Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]和Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]透過檢測控制訊號線Lcs相互連接。具體而言,像素Pr[1,1]~Pr[n,n]、Pg[1,1]~Pg[n,n]和Pb[1,1]~Pb[n,n]中的各個檢測電晶體Tct的控制端透過檢測控制訊號線Lcs相互連接。 In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the control terminals of the detection transistors Tct of the pixels in the display panel are connected to each other. In other words, the pixels Pr [1,1] ~ Pr [n, n], Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n], and Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] pass through the detection control signal line L cs are interconnected. Specifically, each of the pixels Pr [1,1] ~ Pr [n, n], Pg [1,1] ~ Pg [n, n], and Pb [1,1] ~ Pb [n, n] is detected The control terminals of the transistor Tct are connected to each other through a detection control signal line L cs .

如此一來,藉由顯示面板中像素共用檢測控制訊號CS,以及不同顏色之像素各自共用檢測訊號CTr、CTg或CTb,使得能夠減少輸入訊號的總數。由於顯示面板周邊檢測區域的減少,使得面取數得以增加,而降低成本。 In this way, the detection control signal CS is shared by the pixels in the display panel, and the detection signals CTr, CTg, or CTb are shared by the pixels of different colors, so that the total number of input signals can be reduced. Due to the reduction of the detection area around the display panel, the number of surface accesses can be increased, and the cost can be reduced.

綜上所述,在本揭示內容的顯示面板和顯示面板的檢測方法中,藉由簡化檢測期間的訊號數量,以及利用共用檢測訊號和訊號傳輸線,使得能夠減少顯示面板周邊區域的需求,因而得以增加面取數,達到成本的降低。 To sum up, in the display panel and the display panel detection method of the present disclosure, by simplifying the number of signals during the detection period, and by using a shared detection signal and a signal transmission line, it is possible to reduce the demand for the peripheral area of the display panel, thereby enabling Increase the number of noodles to reduce costs.
