畫素電路 Pixel circuit

本揭示文件有關一種畫素電路,尤指一種可補償驅動電晶體臨界電壓變異的畫素電路。 This disclosure relates to a pixel circuit, especially a pixel circuit that can compensate for the variation of the critical voltage of the driving transistor.

低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體(low temperature poly-silicon thin-film transistor,LTPS TFT)具有高載子遷移率與尺寸小的特點,適合應用於高解析度、窄邊框以及低耗電的顯示面板。目前業界廣泛使用準分子雷射退火(excimer laser annealing,ELA)技術來形成低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體的多晶矽薄膜。然而,由於準分子雷射每一發的掃描功率並不穩定,不同區域的多晶矽薄膜會具有晶粒尺寸與數量的差異。因此,於顯示面板的不同區域中,低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體的特性便會不同。 Low temperature poly-silicon thin-film transistors (LTPS TFT) have the characteristics of high carrier mobility and small size, and are suitable for display panels with high resolution, narrow bezels and low power consumption. At present, excimer laser annealing (ELA) technology is widely used in the industry to form polycrystalline silicon thin films of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors. However, since the scanning power of each shot of the excimer laser is not stable, the polycrystalline silicon films in different regions will have differences in grain size and number. Therefore, the characteristics of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor will be different in different areas of the display panel.

舉例而言,不同區域的低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體會有著不同的臨界電壓(threshold voltage),臨界電壓不同將會造成驅動電流產生差異,導致低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體的發光亮度不一致。在此情況下,顯示面板在顯示像時將會面臨顯示畫面亮度不均勻的問題。 For example, low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistors in different regions will have different threshold voltages.

實作上,電晶體T1~T5可以用P型的低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體來實現,但本實施例並不以此為限。例如,電晶體T1~T5也可以用P型的非晶矽(amorphous silicon) 薄膜電晶體或其他型式的薄膜電晶體來實現。 In practice, the transistors T1 to T5 can be implemented with P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the transistors T1 to T5 can also be implemented with P-type amorphous silicon thin-film transistors or other types of thin-film transistors.

以下將配合第1圖和第2圖來進一步說明畫素電路100的運作方式,第2圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的畫素電路100的運作時序圖。如第2圖所示,在畫素電路100的運作過程中,工作電壓VDD工作於高準位VHIGH(高於參考電壓Vref),控制訊號CTL和掃描訊號SCAN[n]會於高準位PH和低準位PL之間切換。 The operation mode of the pixel circuit 100 will be further described below in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 2 is an operation timing diagram of the pixel circuit 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, during the operation of the pixel circuit 100, the operating voltage VDD operates at a high level V HIGH (higher than the reference voltage Vref), and the control signal CTL and the scanning signal SCAN[n] will be at a high level Switch between PH and low level PL.

於此實施例中,由於雷射掃描的方向與資料線DL的方向平行,因此如果雷射發出的能量一致,即可假設補償電路140中電晶體T5的特性(例如,臨界電壓)與電晶體T3的特性類似,因此可以將節點N3的電壓用於對同一行的畫素電路進行補償。 In this embodiment, since the direction of the laser scanning is parallel to the direction of the data line DL, if the energy emitted by the laser is the same, it can be assumed that the characteristics (eg, critical voltage) of the transistor T5 in the compensation circuit 140 and the transistor The characteristics of T3 are similar, so the voltage of node N3 can be used to compensate the pixel circuits of the same row.

承上述,在重置階段TP1中,控制訊號CTL為低準位PL,使得電晶體T4為導通狀態,將節點N3的電壓位準重置到高準位VHIGH。接著,於補償階段TP2中,控制訊號CTL為高準位PH,使得電晶體T4從導通狀態轉態為關閉狀態,因此節點N3的電壓會放透過電晶體T5將原本於高準位VHIGH的電壓放電至補償電壓Vref+|VTH5|。接著運算放大器141由於虛接地(Virtual ground)的特性,會讓運算放大器141的正端及負端的電壓值相同,而運算放大器141的負端又耦接至輸出端,因此運算放大器141會將補償電壓Vref+|VTH5|輸出至寫入電路110的電晶體T2。 According to the above, in the reset phase TP1, the control signal CTL is at the low level PL, so that the transistor T4 is turned on, and resets the voltage level of the node N3 to the high level V HIGH . Then, in the compensation stage TP2, the control signal CTL is at the high level PH, so that the transistor T4 is switched from the on state to the off state, so the voltage of the node N3 will be discharged through the transistor T5 to be originally at the high level V HIGH The voltage is discharged to the compensation voltage Vref+|V TH5 |. Then, due to the characteristics of virtual ground, the operational amplifier 141 will make the positive and negative voltages of the operational amplifier 141 the same, and the negative terminal of the operational amplifier 141 is coupled to the output, so the operational amplifier 141 will compensate The voltage Vref+|V TH5 | is output to the transistor T2 of the writing circuit 110.

承上述,於寫入階段TP3中,掃描訊號SCAN[n]為低準位PL,使得電晶體T1及T2為導通狀態, 資料電壓VDATA由資料線DL輸入至節點N1,補償電壓Vref+|VTH5|由補償電路140輸入至節點N2。接著,於發光階段TP4中,掃描訊號SCAN[n]為高準位PH,使得電晶體T1及T2轉態為關閉狀態,由於節點N1資料電壓VDATA和節點N2的補償電壓Vref+|VTH5|的電壓差值,使得電晶體T3為導通狀態,使得電晶體T3產生的驅動電流Id1由《公式1》可得知。再者,由於假設電晶體T3的特性與電晶體T5類似,因此電晶體T3的臨界電壓|VTH3|與電晶體T5的臨界電壓|VTH5|相同,兩者可相互抵消,《公式1》如下所示:Id=K(Vref+|VTH5|-VDATA-|VTH3|)2=K(Vref-VDATA)2 《公式1》 According to the above, in the writing stage TP3, the scanning signal SCAN[n] is at the low level PL, so that the transistors T1 and T2 are in the conducting state, the data voltage V DATA is input from the data line DL to the node N1, and the compensation voltage Vref+|V TH5 | is input to the node N2 by the compensation circuit 140. Next, in the light-emitting phase TP4, the scanning signal SCAN[n] is at a high level PH, so that the transistors T1 and T2 are turned off, due to the node N1 data voltage V DATA and the node N2 compensation voltage Vref+|V TH5 | The voltage difference of makes the transistor T3 in the on state, so that the driving current Id1 generated by the transistor T3 can be obtained from "Formula 1". Furthermore, because the characteristics of transistor T3 are assumed to be similar to transistor T5, the critical voltage of transistor T3 |V TH3 | is the same as the critical voltage of transistor T5 |V TH5 |, the two can cancel each other, "Formula 1" As follows: Id=K(Vref+|V TH5 |-V DATA -|V TH3 |) 2 =K(Vref-V DATA ) 2 "Formula 1"

於此實施例中,由《公式1》可知,驅動電流Id1與驅動電路130的臨界電壓無關。因此,即使顯示面板中不同區域的驅動電晶體130具有不同的特性(例如,不同的臨界電壓),驅動電流Id1和資料電壓VDATA仍會維持固定的對應關係。 In this embodiment, it can be known from “Formula 1” that the driving current Id1 has nothing to do with the threshold voltage of the driving circuit 130. Therefore, even if the driving transistors 130 in different regions of the display panel have different characteristics (for example, different threshold voltages), the driving current Id1 and the data voltage V DATA still maintain a fixed correspondence.

於另一實施例中,請參閱第3圖。第3圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的畫素電路200的電路圖。如第3圖所繪示,畫素電路200包含資料寫入電路210、發光二極體220、驅動電路230以及補償電路240。畫素電路200可控制流經發光二極體220的驅動電流Id2的大小,進而使發光二極體220產生不同的灰階亮度。 In another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pixel circuit 200 includes a data writing circuit 210, a light-emitting diode 220, a driving circuit 230, and a compensation circuit 240.

For example, the transistors T6 to T9 can also be implemented with P-type amorphous silicon thin-film transistors or other types of thin-film transistors.

以下將配合第3圖和第4圖來進一步說明畫素電路200的運作方式,第4圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的畫素電路200的運作時序圖。如第4圖所示,在畫素電路200的運作過程中,工作電壓VDD工作於高準位VHIGH(高於參考電壓Vref),控制訊號CTL和掃描訊號SCAN[n]會於高準位PH和低準位PL之間切換。 The operation mode of the pixel circuit 200 will be further described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 4 is an operation timing diagram of the pixel circuit 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, during the operation of the pixel circuit 200, the operating voltage VDD operates at a high level V HIGH (higher than the reference voltage Vref), and the control signal CTL and the scanning signal SCAN[n] will be at a high level Switch between PH and low level PL.

於此實施例中,補償電路240中電晶體T9的特性(例如,臨界電壓)與電晶體T7的特性類似,且電晶體T9與電晶體T7位於同一行,因此可以將節點N6的電壓用於對同一行的畫素電路進行補償。 In this embodiment, the characteristics (eg, critical voltage) of the transistor T9 in the compensation circuit 240 are similar to the characteristics of the transistor T7, and the transistor T9 and the transistor T7 are located in the same row, so the voltage of the node N6 can be used for Compensate for pixel circuits in the same row.

承上述,在重置階段TP1中,控制訊號CTL為低準位PL,使得電晶體T8為導通狀態,將節點N6的電壓位準拉低至低準位VLOW。接著,於補償階段TP2中,控制訊號CTL為高準位PH,使得電晶體T8從導通狀態轉態為關閉狀態,因此節點N6的電壓會放透過電晶體T9將原本於低準位VLOW的電壓充電至補償電壓VDD-|VTH9|。接著加法器241會將補償電壓VDD-|VTH9|與資料電壓VDATA相加後再 輸出至寫入電路210的電晶體T6。 According to the above, in the reset phase TP1, the control signal CTL is at the low level PL, so that the transistor T8 is turned on, and the voltage level of the node N6 is pulled down to the low level V LOW . Then, in the compensation stage TP2, the control signal CTL is at the high level PH, so that the transistor T8 is switched from the on state to the off state, so the voltage of the node N6 will be discharged through the transistor T9 to be originally at the low level V LOW The voltage is charged to the compensation voltage VDD-|V TH9 |. The adder 241 then adds the compensation voltage VDD-|V TH9 | to the data voltage V DATA and outputs it to the transistor T6 of the writing circuit 210.

承上述,於寫入階段TP3中,掃描訊號SCAN[n]為低準位PL,使得電晶體T6為導通狀態,補償電壓VDD-|VTH9|與資料電壓VDATA由資料線DL輸入至節點N4。接著,於發光階段TP4中,掃描訊號SCAN[n]為高準位PH,使得電晶體T6轉態為關閉狀態,由於節點N4的電壓為VDATA+VDD-|VTH9|和節點N5的工作電壓VDD的電壓差值,使得電晶體T7為導通狀態,使得電晶體T7產生的驅動電流Id2由《公式2》可得知。再者,由於假設電晶體T9的特性與電晶體T7類似,因此電晶體T9的臨界電壓|VTH9|與電晶體T7的臨界電壓|VTH7|相同,兩者可相互抵消,《公式2》如下所示:Id=K(VSG-|VTH7|)2=K(VDD-VDATA-VDD+|VTH9|-|VTH7|)2=k(-VDATA)2《公式2》 According to the above, in the writing stage TP3, the scanning signal SCAN[n] is at the low level PL, so that the transistor T6 is in an on state, the compensation voltage VDD-|V TH9 | and the data voltage V DATA are input to the node from the data line DL N4. Next, in the light-emitting phase TP4, the scanning signal SCAN[n] is at the high level PH, so that the transistor T6 is turned off, because the voltage of the node N4 is V DATA +VDD-|V TH9 | and the operation of the node N5 The voltage difference of the voltage VDD makes the transistor T7 in an on state, so that the driving current Id2 generated by the transistor T7 can be known from "Formula 2". Furthermore, because the characteristics of transistor T9 are assumed to be similar to transistor T7, the critical voltage of transistor T9 |V TH9 | is the same as the critical voltage of transistor T7 |V TH7 |, the two can cancel each other, "Equation 2" As follows: Id=K(V SG -|V TH7 |) 2 =K(VDD-V DATA -VDD+|V TH9 |-|V TH7 |) 2 =k(-V DATA ) 2 "Formula 2"

於此實施例中,由《公式2》可知,驅動電流Id2與驅動電路230的臨界電壓無關。因此,即使顯示面板中不同區域的驅動電晶體230具有不同的特性(例如,不同的臨界電壓),驅動電流Id2和資料電壓VDATA仍會維持固定的對應關係。 In this embodiment, it can be known from "Formula 2" that the driving current Id2 has nothing to do with the threshold voltage of the driving circuit 230. Therefore, even if the driving transistors 230 in different regions of the display panel have different characteristics (for example, different threshold voltages), the driving current Id2 and the data voltage V DATA still maintain a fixed correspondence.

實作上,電晶體T10~T12可以用P型的低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體來實現,但本實施例並不以此為限。例如,電晶體T10~T12也可以用P型的非晶矽(amorphous silicon)薄膜電晶體或其他型式的薄膜電晶體來實現。 In practice, the transistors T10 to T12 can be implemented with P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the transistors T10 to T12 can also be implemented with P-type amorphous silicon thin-film transistors or other types of thin-film transistors.

以下將配合第5圖和第6圖來進一步說明畫素電路300的運作方式,第5圖為根據本揭示文件一實施例的畫素電路300的運作時序圖。如第6圖所示,在畫素電路300的運作過程中,工作電壓VDD工作於高準位VHIGH,掃描訊號SCAN[n]會於高準位PH和低準位PL之間切換。 The operation mode of the pixel circuit 300 will be further described below in conjunction with FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is an operation timing diagram of the pixel circuit 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, during the operation of the pixel circuit 300, the operating voltage VDD operates at the high level V HIGH and the scan signal SCAN[n] switches between the high level PH and the low level PL.

於此實施例中補償電路340中電晶體T12的特性(例如,臨界電壓)與電晶體T11的特性類似,且電晶體T11和電晶體T12位於同一行,因此可以將節點N9的電壓用於對同一行的畫素電路進行補償。 In this embodiment, the characteristics (eg, critical voltage) of the transistor T12 in the compensation circuit 340 are similar to the characteristics of the transistor T11, and the transistor T11 and the transistor T12 are located in the same row, so the voltage of the node N9 can be used to The pixel circuits on the same line compensate.

於寫入階段TP3中,源極積體電路(Source IC)提供的電流源IDATA流過電晶體T12,可以決定節點N9的電壓,節點N9的電壓可由《公式3》得知,接著將節點N9的電壓視為資料電壓VDATA。接著,運算放大器341由於虛接地(Virtual ground)的特性,會讓運算放大器341的正端及 負端的電壓值相同,而運算放大器341的負端又耦接至輸出端,因此運算放大器341會將資料電壓VDATA輸出至寫入電路310的電晶體T10,並且此時掃描訊號SCAN[n]為低準位PL,使得電晶體T10為導通狀態,資料電壓VDATA由資料線DL輸入至節點N7。《公式3》如下所示:

Figure 108100432-A0101-12-0013-1
In the writing stage TP3, the current source I DATA provided by the source integrated circuit (Source IC) flows through the transistor T12, which can determine the voltage of the node N9. The voltage of the node N9 can be obtained from "Formula 3", and then the node The voltage of N9 is regarded as the data voltage V DATA . Then, due to the characteristics of virtual ground, the operational amplifier 341 will make the positive and negative terminals of the operational amplifier 341 have the same voltage value, and the negative terminal of the operational amplifier 341 is coupled to the output terminal, so the operational amplifier 341 will The data voltage V DATA is output to the transistor T10 of the writing circuit 310, and the scan signal SCAN[n] is at a low level PL at this time, so that the transistor T10 is turned on, and the data voltage V DATA is input from the data line DL to the node N7 . "Formula 3" is as follows:
Figure 108100432-A0101-12-0013-1

接著,於發光階段TP4中,掃描訊號SCAN[n]為高準位PH,使得電晶體T10轉態為關閉狀態,由於節點N7資料電壓VDATA和節點N8的工作電壓VDD的電壓差值,使得電晶體T11為導通狀態,使得電晶體T11產生的驅動電流Id3由《公式4》可得知。再者,由於假設電晶體T11的特性與電晶體T12類似,因此電晶體T11的臨界電壓|VTH11|與電晶體T12的臨界電壓|VTH12|相同,兩者可相互抵消,《公式4》如下所示:

Figure 108100432-A0101-12-0013-2
Next, in the light-emitting phase TP4, the scanning signal SCAN[n] is at the high level PH, so that the transistor T10 transitions to the off state. The voltage difference between the data voltage V DATA of the node N7 and the working voltage VDD of the node N8 makes the The transistor T11 is in an on-state, so that the driving current Id3 generated by the transistor T11 is known from "Formula 4". Further, since it is assumed the transistor T11 and the transistor T12 of similar characteristics, and therefore the threshold voltage of transistor T11 is | V TH11 | threshold voltage of transistor T12 is | V TH12 | same, both can be canceled each other, "Formula 4" As follows:
Figure 108100432-A0101-12-0013-2

於此實施例中,由《公式4》可知,驅動電流Id3與驅動電路330的臨界電壓無關。因此,即使顯示面板中不同區域的驅動電晶體330具有不同的特性(例如,不同 的臨界電壓),驅動電流Id3和資料源IDATA仍會維持固定的對應關係。 In this embodiment, it can be known from "Formula 4" that the driving current Id3 has nothing to do with the threshold voltage of the driving circuit 330. Therefore, even if the driving transistors 330 in different regions of the display panel have different characteristics (for example, different threshold voltages), the driving current Id3 and the data source I DATA still maintain a fixed correspondence.

綜上所述,本發明之畫素電路可利用外部補償電路、緩衝電路(Buffer circuit)或是加法器的電路架構,將外部補償電路產生的補償電壓傳送至畫素電路內部進行補償,解決臨界電壓變異產生的電流不均勻性,達到防止顯示面板顯示黑畫面時的閃爍現象,進而增加顯示畫面的對比度的功效。 In summary, the pixel circuit of the present invention can utilize the circuit architecture of an external compensation circuit, a buffer circuit or an adder to transmit the compensation voltage generated by the external compensation circuit to the interior of the pixel circuit for compensation to solve the criticality The current non-uniformity caused by the voltage variation can prevent the flicker phenomenon when the display panel displays a black screen, thereby increasing the contrast of the display screen.
