Description

畫素電路 Pixel circuit

本揭示內容關於一種畫素電路,特別是能提供電流以驅動發光元件之技術 The present disclosure relates to a pixel circuit, especially a technology that can provide current to drive light-emitting elements

低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體(low temperature poly-silicon thin-film transistor,以下簡稱LTPS)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。然而,當LTPS被關斷時,其電晶體內部仍會存在有明顯的漏電路徑,尤其是處於低操作頻率時,漏電現象更為明顯。漏電現象會導致驅動顯示面板內的發光元件的電流不穩定,致使發光元件產生閃爍、影響顯示畫面的品質。 Low temperature poly-silicon thin-film transistor (LTPS) has the characteristics of high carrier mobility and small size, and is suitable for high-resolution, narrow-frame and low-power display panels. However, when the LTPS is turned off, there will still be an obvious leakage path inside the transistor, especially when the operating frequency is low, the leakage phenomenon is more obvious. The leakage phenomenon will cause the current to drive the light-emitting elements in the display panel to be unstable, causing the light-emitting elements to flicker and affect the quality of the display screen.

本揭示內容之一態樣為一種畫素電路,包含驅動電路、電壓補償電路及漏電補償電路。驅動電路電性連接於驅動電源及發光元件。驅動電路用以響應於第一節點的電壓而導通,以輸出驅動電流來驅動發光元件。電壓補償電路電性連接於第一節點及發光元件之間,以在驅動電路接收 資料訊號時,電壓補償電路根據驅動電路的臨界電壓值,在第一節點上產生補償電壓訊號。漏電補償電路電性連接於驅動電源及第一節點之間,以在驅動電路輸出驅動電流時,驅動電源透過漏電補償電路,對第一節點的電壓進行補償。 One aspect of the present disclosure is a pixel circuit including a driving circuit, a voltage compensation circuit, and a leakage compensation circuit. The driving circuit is electrically connected to the driving power supply and the light emitting element. The driving circuit is used for turning on in response to the voltage of the first node to output a driving current to drive the light emitting element. The voltage compensation circuit is electrically connected between the first node and the light-emitting element to receive the In the case of a data signal, the voltage compensation circuit generates a compensation voltage signal on the first node according to the threshold voltage value of the driving circuit. The leakage compensation circuit is electrically connected between the driving power supply and the first node, so that when the driving circuit outputs a driving current, the driving power supply compensates the voltage of the first node through the leakage compensation circuit.

據此,由於驅動電源能透過漏電補償電路,對第一節點的電壓進行補償,因此能改善第一節點上的電壓隨著畫素電路內的其餘漏電路徑而下降的問題。 Accordingly, since the driving power source can compensate the voltage of the first node through the leakage compensation circuit, the problem of the voltage on the first node falling along with the remaining leakage paths in the pixel circuit can be improved.

請參閱第1A圖所示,係根據本揭示內容之部份實施例所繪示之一種畫素電路100的示意圖。畫素電路100設置於顯示面板內,包含驅動電路110、電壓補償電路120及漏電補償電路130。畫素電路100用以從顯示面板之控制器中接收多個控制訊號(如第1A圖所標示之訊號S(n)、S(n-1)及S(n+1),細節將於後續段落說明),以控制驅動電路110、電壓補償電路120及漏電補償電路130。 Please refer to FIG. 1A, which is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The pixel circuit 100 is disposed in the display panel, and includes a driving circuit 110, a voltage compensation circuit 120, and a leakage compensation circuit 130. The pixel circuit 100 is used to receive a plurality of control signals from the controller of the display panel (such as the signals S(n), S(n-1), and S(n+1) indicated in Figure 1A, details will follow Paragraph description) to control the driving circuit 110, the voltage compensation circuit 120 and the leakage compensation circuit 130.

驅動電路110電性連接於驅動電源Vdd及發光元件L,且其控制端用以響應於第一節點N1的電壓而導通,以輸出驅動電流來驅動發光元件L。在部份實施例中,發光元件L為顯示面板上的一個畫素,可包含發光二極體或有機發光二極體。透過驅動電源Vdd、Vc間的電壓差形成的電流而驅動。 The driving circuit 110 is electrically connected to the driving power supply Vdd and the light emitting element L, and its control terminal is used to turn on in response to the voltage of the first node N1 to output a driving current to drive the light emitting element L. In some embodiments, the light-emitting element L is a pixel on the display panel, and may include a light-emitting diode or an organic light-emitting diode. It is driven by the current formed by the voltage difference between the driving power supplies Vdd and Vc.

電壓補償電路120電性連接於第一節點N1及第三節點N3之間。在驅動電路110接收資料訊號Vdata時,電壓補償電路120根據驅動電路110的臨界電壓值Vth,在第一節點N1上產生補償電壓訊號。在部份實施例中,電壓補償電路120包含驅動電晶體Td,電壓補償電路120根據驅動電晶體Td的臨界電壓值Vth,對第一節點N1進行電壓補償。 The voltage compensation circuit 120 is electrically connected between the first node N1 and the third node N3. When the driving circuit 110 receives the data signal Vdata, the voltage compensation circuit 120 generates a compensation voltage signal on the first node N1 according to the threshold voltage Vth of the driving circuit 110. In some embodiments, the voltage compensation circuit 120 includes a driving transistor Td, and the voltage compensation circuit 120 performs voltage compensation on the first node N1 according to the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Td.

漏電補償電路130電性連接於驅動電源Vdd及第一節點N1之間,以在驅動電路110輸出驅動電流時,驅動電源Vdd透過漏電補償電路130,對第一節點N1的電壓進行電流補償。 The leakage compensation circuit 130 is electrically connected between the driving power supply Vdd and the first node N1, so that when the driving circuit 110 outputs a driving current, the driving power supply Vdd passes through the leakage compensation circuit 130 to perform current compensation for the voltage of the first node N1.

當驅動電路110驅動發光元件L產生光亮時,第一節點N1上的電壓可能會經由畫素電路100中其他路徑漏電(如:第一開關元件T1,其運作將於後文詳述),使得驅動電晶體Td的閘極電壓下降,從而影響發光元件L的亮度。本揭示內容透過漏電補償電路130,使驅動電路110驅動發光元件L時,驅動電源Vdd能透過漏電補償電路130,朝電壓相對較低的第一節點N1進行電流補償,以彌補第一節點N1之電壓因畫素電路100中具有漏電路徑而下降的問題。 When the driving circuit 110 drives the light emitting element L to generate light, the voltage on the first node N1 may leak through other paths in the pixel circuit 100 (for example, the first switching element T1, whose operation will be described in detail later), so that The gate voltage of the driving transistor Td drops, thereby affecting the brightness of the light-emitting element L. The present disclosure uses the leakage compensation circuit 130 so that when the driving circuit 110 drives the light emitting element L, the driving power supply Vdd can pass through the leakage compensation circuit 130 to perform current compensation toward the first node N1 with a relatively low voltage to compensate for the first node N1. The voltage drops due to the leakage path in the pixel circuit 100.

在部份實施例中,漏電補償電路130包含第二開關元件T2,在驅動電路110輸出驅動電流時,第一開關元件T1及第二開關元件T2皆關斷(即,控制訊號S(n-1)、S(n+1)皆為禁能訊號)。雖然,在開關元件T1、T2關斷時,仍有可能會產生漏電,但漏電補償電路130對第一節點N1的電流補償,將能平衡第一節點N1從第一開關元件T1漏電後的負面影響。在部份實施例中,第一開關元件T1及第二開關元件T2可為相同規格之電晶體。 In some embodiments, the leakage compensation circuit 130 includes a second switching element T2. When the driving circuit 110 outputs a driving current, both the first switching element T1 and the second switching element T2 are turned off (ie, the control signal S(n- 1), S(n+1) are all disable signals). Although leakage may still occur when the switching elements T1 and T2 are turned off, the leakage compensation circuit 130 compensates for the current of the first node N1 to balance the negative effects of the leakage of the first node N1 from the first switching element T1. influences. In some embodiments, the first switching element T1 and the second switching element T2 can be transistors of the same specification.

在部份實施例中,驅動電路110包含驅動電晶體Td、第三開關元件T3及第四開關元件T4。驅動電晶體Td用以響應於第一節點N1的電壓而導通。第三開關元件T3電性連接於驅動電晶體Td及發光元件L之間。第四開關元件T4電性連接於驅動電晶體Td及驅動電源Vdd之間。 In some embodiments, the driving circuit 110 includes a driving transistor Td, a third switching element T3 and a fourth switching element T4. The driving transistor Td is used to turn on in response to the voltage of the first node N1. The third switching element T3 is electrically connected between the driving transistor Td and the light emitting element L. The fourth switching element T4 is electrically connected between the driving transistor Td and the driving power Vdd.

在部份實施例中,畫素電路100還包含儲能元件C(如:電容器)。儲能元件C電性連接於第一節點N1及驅動電源Vdd之間。意即,儲能元件C與漏電補償電路130相並聯。 In some embodiments, the pixel circuit 100 further includes an energy storage element C (such as a capacitor). The energy storage element C is electrically connected between the first node N1 and the driving power source Vdd. That is, the energy storage element C is connected in parallel with the leakage compensation circuit 130.

在部份實施例中,畫素電路100還包含第五開關元件T5及第六開關元件T6。第五開關元件T5電性連接於第三開關元件T3及參考電源Vref。第六開關元件T6電性連接於第四開關元件T4及驅動電晶體Td之間的第二節點N2。 In some embodiments, the pixel circuit 100 further includes a fifth switching element T5 and a sixth switching element T6. The fifth switching element T5 is electrically connected to the third switching element T3 and the reference power source Vref. The sixth switching element T6 is electrically connected to the second node N2 between the fourth switching element T4 and the driving transistor Td.

請參閱第1B及2D圖所示,在資料寫入期間P2,第二節點N2透過第六開關元件T6接收資料訊號Vdata。同時,第一開關元件T1導通、第二開關元件T2關斷,使得電壓補償電路120透過第一開關元件T1接收補償電壓訊號。此時,第二節點N2係被寫入資料訊號Vdata、第一節點N1及第三節點N3則被寫入補償電壓訊號「Vdata-Vth(驅動電晶體Td的臨界電壓)」。 Please refer to FIGS. 1B and 2D. During the data writing period P2, the second node N2 receives the data signal Vdata through the sixth switching element T6. At the same time, the first switching element T1 is turned on and the second switching element T2 is turned off, so that the voltage compensation circuit 120 receives the compensation voltage signal through the first switching element T1. At this time, the second node N2 is written with the data signal Vdata, and the first node N1 and the third node N3 are written with the compensation voltage signal “Vdata-Vth (threshold voltage of driving transistor Td)”.

請參閱第1B及2E圖所示,在資料寫入期間P3,驅動電晶體Td導通、第一開關元件T1關斷、第二開關元件T2關斷、第三開關元件T3導通、第四開關元件T4導通、第五開關元件T5關斷、第六開關元件T6關斷。此時,驅動電路110能產生驅動電流I1以驅動發光元件L。 Please refer to Figures 1B and 2E. During the data writing period P3, the driving transistor Td is turned on, the first switching element T1 is turned off, the second switching element T2 is turned off, the third switching element T3 is turned on, and the fourth switching element is turned on. T4 is turned on, the fifth switching element T5 is turned off, and the sixth switching element T6 is turned off. At this time, the driving circuit 110 can generate a driving current I1 to drive the light emitting element L.

雖然,在發光期間P3漏電補償電路130(第二開關元件T2)及第一開關元件T1皆為關斷,但電流仍可能會通過電晶體本身(如:第一開關元件T1形成的漏電路徑Rc1)。在產生漏電的情況下,第一節點N1的電壓將會透過第一開關元件T1朝第三節點N3放電。由於驅動電源Vdd的電壓大於第一節點N1的電壓,因此驅動電源Vdd仍能透過第二開關元件T2形成的漏電補償路徑Rc2,對第一節點N1進行電壓補償,解決第一節點N1上電壓不穩定的問題。 Although the leakage compensation circuit 130 (the second switching element T2) and the first switching element T1 are both turned off during the light-emitting period, the current may still pass through the transistor itself (such as the leakage path Rc1 formed by the first switching element T1). ). In the case of leakage, the voltage of the first node N1 will be discharged to the third node N3 through the first switching element T1. Since the voltage of the driving power supply Vdd is greater than the voltage of the first node N1, the driving power supply Vdd can still perform voltage compensation on the first node N1 through the leakage compensation path Rc2 formed by the second switching element T2, and solve the problem of the voltage on the first node N1. Stability issues.

請參閱第3A及第3B圖所示,第3A圖為畫素電路100於運行時,第一節點N1上的電壓變化模擬圖。橫軸為時間、縱軸為電壓。由圖式可知,當運行時間為90~130微秒(對應於發光週期P3)時,第一節點N1上的電壓並未因為漏電現象而產生明顯下滑。在第3A圖中,曲線A1表示臨界電壓為+0.5V時的實施例、曲線A2表示臨界電壓為零時的實施例、曲線A3表示臨界電壓為-0.5V時的實施例。第3B圖則為畫素電路100在不同的資料訊號Vdata下發光元件L的電流異常率(Current Error Rate)示意圖。其中橫軸為資料訊號Vdata、縱軸為電流異常率。由圖可知,本揭示內容提出的電路能有效補償驅動電晶體Td臨界電壓變異,並且電流異常率(Current Error Rate)皆維持在5%內。 Please refer to FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIG. 3A is a simulation diagram of the voltage change on the first node N1 when the pixel circuit 100 is operating. The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is voltage. It can be seen from the diagram that when the operating time is 90-130 microseconds (corresponding to the light-emitting period P3), the voltage on the first node N1 does not drop significantly due to the leakage phenomenon. In Figure 3A, the curve A1 represents the embodiment when the threshold voltage is +0.5V, the curve A2 represents the embodiment when the threshold voltage is zero, and the curve A3 represents the embodiment when the threshold voltage is -0.5V.

In some embodiments, the operation process of the pixel circuit 100 includes a reset period P1, a data writing period P2, a sustain period P21, and a light emitting period P3. The first switching element T1 is turned on or off in response to the control signal S(n), the second switching element T2 is turned on or off in response to the control signal S(n-1), and the third switching element T3 is in response to the control signal.

請參閱第4B、5A~5E圖,其中第4B圖為根據本揭示內容之部份實施例的畫素電路200的操作時序圖。請參閱第4B及5A圖所示,在重置期間P1的第一階段中,驅動電晶體Td關斷、控制開關Tc導通、第一開關元件T1關斷、第二開關元件T2導通、第三開關元件T3導通、第四開關元件T4導通、第五開關元件T5導通、第六開關元件T6關斷,使得第一節點N1及第二節點導通至驅動電源Vdd。同時,第三開關元件T3透過第五開關元件T5導通至參考電源Vref,以重置發光元件L(或第三節點N3)上的電壓。 Please refer to FIGS. 4B and 5A to 5E. FIG. 4B is an operation timing diagram of the pixel circuit 200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Please refer to Figures 4B and 5A. In the first stage of the reset period P1, the driving transistor Td is turned off, the control switch Tc is turned on, the first switching element T1 is turned off, the second switching element T2 is turned on, and the third The switching element T3 is turned on, the fourth switching element T4 is turned on, the fifth switching element T5 is turned on, and the sixth switching element T6 is turned off, so that the first node N1 and the second node are turned on to the driving power supply Vdd. At the same time, the third switching element T3 is turned on to the reference power supply Vref through the fifth switching element T5 to reset the voltage on the light emitting element L (or the third node N3).

請參閱第4B及5B圖所示,在重置期間P1的第二階段中,在第一節點N1導通至驅動電源Vdd後,驅動電晶體Td導通、控制開關Tc關斷、第一開關元件T1導通、第二開關元件T2導通、第三開關元件T3關斷、第四開關元件T4關斷、第五開關元件T5導通、第六開關元件T6關斷,使得第一節點N1透過第一開關元件T1及第五開關元件T5導通至參考電源Vref,以重置第一節點N1的電壓。 Please refer to Figures 4B and 5B. In the second stage of the reset period P1, after the first node N1 is turned on to the driving power source Vdd, the driving transistor Td is turned on, the control switch Tc is turned off, and the first switching element T1 is turned off. On, the second switching element T2 is on, the third switching element T3 is off, the fourth switching element T4 is off, the fifth switching element T5 is on, and the sixth switching element T6 is off, so that the first node N1 passes through the first switching element T1 and the fifth switching element T5 are turned on to the reference power source Vref to reset the voltage of the first node N1.

請參閱第4B及5C圖所示,在資料寫入期間P2,驅動電晶體Td導通、控制開關Tc關斷、第一開關元件T1導通、第二開關元件T2關斷、第三開關元件T3關斷、第四開關元件T4關斷、第五開關元件T5關斷、第六開關元件T6導通,使得電壓補償電路120透過第一開關元件T1接收補償電壓訊號。意即,第一節點N1透過第一開關元件T1、驅動電晶體Td及第六開關元件T6接收補償電壓訊號Vdata。此時,第二節點N2係被寫入資料訊號Vdata、第一節點N1及第三節點N3則被寫入補償電壓訊號「Vdata-Vth(驅動電晶體Td的臨界電壓)」。 Please refer to Figures 4B and 5C. During the data writing period P2, the driving transistor Td is turned on, the control switch Tc is turned off, the first switching element T1 is turned on, the second switching element T2 is turned off, and the third switching element T3 is turned off. OFF, the fourth switching element T4 is turned off, the fifth switching element T5 is turned off, and the sixth switching element T6 is turned on, so that the voltage compensation circuit 120 receives the compensation voltage signal through the first switching element T1. That is, the first node N1 receives the compensation voltage signal Vdata through the first switching element T1, the driving transistor Td, and the sixth switching element T6. At this time, the second node N2 is written with the data signal Vdata, and the first node N1 and the third node N3 are written with the compensation voltage signal “Vdata-Vth (threshold voltage of driving transistor Td)”.

請參閱第4B及5D圖所示,在維持期間P21,當驅動電路110接收資料訊號Vdata後,驅動電晶體Td導通、控制開關Tc關斷、第一開關元件T1關斷、第二開關元件T2關斷、第三開關元件T3關斷、第四開關元件T4關斷、第五開關元件T5關斷、第六開關元件T6導通。據此,電壓補償電路120將被關斷。 Please refer to Figures 4B and 5D. In the sustain period P21, after the driving circuit 110 receives the data signal Vdata, the driving transistor Td is turned on, the control switch Tc is turned off, the first switching element T1 is turned off, and the second switching element T2 is turned off. Turn off, the third switching element T3 is turned off, the fourth switching element T4 is turned off, the fifth switching element T5 is turned off, and the sixth switching element T6 is turned on. Accordingly, the voltage compensation circuit 120 will be turned off.

請參閱第4B及5E圖所示,在發光期間P3, 驅動電晶體Td導通、控制開關Tc導通、第一開關元件T1關斷、第二開關元件T2關斷、第三開關元件T3導通、第四開關元件T4導通、第五開關元件T5關斷、第六開關元件T6關斷。此時,驅動電路110能產生驅動電流I1以驅動發光元件L。 Please refer to Figures 4B and 5E, during the light-emitting period P3, The drive transistor Td is turned on, the control switch Tc is turned on, the first switching element T1 is turned off, the second switching element T2 is turned off, the third switching element T3 is turned on, the fourth switching element T4 is turned on, the fifth switching element T5 is turned off, and the The six switching element T6 is turned off. At this time, the driving circuit 110 can generate a driving current I1 to drive the light emitting element L.

與前述實施例相似,在發光期間P3,第一開關元件T1及第二開關元件T2皆為關斷,但電流仍可能會通過電晶體本身,致使第一節點N1上的電壓會隨著第一開關元件T1形成的漏電路徑Rc1而下降。由於驅動電源Vdd的電壓大於第一節點N1的電壓,因此驅動電源Vdd仍能透過第二開關元件T2形成的漏電補償路徑Rc2,對第一節點N1進行電壓補償,解決第一節點N1上電壓不穩定的問題。 Similar to the foregoing embodiment, during the light-emitting period P3, the first switching element T1 and the second switching element T2 are both off, but the current may still pass through the transistor itself, causing the voltage on the first node N1 to follow the first The leakage path Rc1 formed by the switching element T1 drops. Since the voltage of the driving power supply Vdd is greater than the voltage of the first node N1, the driving power supply Vdd can still perform voltage compensation on the first node N1 through the leakage compensation path Rc2 formed by the second switching element T2, and solve the problem of the voltage on the first node N1. Stability issues.

請參閱第6A及第6B圖所示,第6A圖為畫素電路200於運行時,第一節點N1上的電壓變化模擬圖。橫軸為時間、縱軸為電壓。由圖式可知,當運行時間為70~120微秒(對應於發光週期P3)時,第一節點N1上的電壓並未因為漏電現象而產生明顯下滑。在第6A圖中,曲線B1表示臨界電壓為+0.5V時的實施例、曲線B2表示臨界電壓為零時的實施例、曲線B3表示臨界電壓為-0.5V時的實施例。第6B圖則為畫素電路100在不同的資料訊號Vdata下發光元件L的電流異常率(Current Error Rate)示意圖。其中橫軸為資料訊號Vdata、縱軸為電流異常率。由圖可知,本揭示內容提出的電路能有效補償驅動電晶體Td臨界電壓變異,並且電流異常率(Current Error Rate)皆維持在5%內。 Please refer to FIGS. 6A and 6B. FIG. 6A is a simulation diagram of the voltage change on the first node N1 when the pixel circuit 200 is operating. The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is voltage. It can be seen from the diagram that when the operating time is 70-120 microseconds (corresponding to the light-emitting period P3), the voltage on the first node N1 does not significantly decrease due to the leakage phenomenon. In Fig. 6A, the curve B1 shows the embodiment when the threshold voltage is +0.5V, the curve B2 shows the embodiment when the threshold voltage is zero, and the curve B3 shows the embodiment when the threshold voltage is -0.5V. FIG. 6B is a schematic diagram of the current error rate (Current Error Rate) of the light-emitting element L under different data signals Vdata of the pixel circuit 100. The horizontal axis is the data signal Vdata, and the vertical axis is the current abnormality rate.
