Description

顯示裝置與顯示面板 Display device and display panel

本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置與顯示面板,且特別是有關於一種可避免鬼影現象之顯示裝置與顯示面板。 The present invention relates to a display device and a display panel, and more particularly to a display device and a display panel that can avoid the ghost phenomenon.

請參見第1圖,其係習用的LED顯示裝置之示意圖。LED顯示裝置10包含LED顯示面板11、時序控制器13、列控制器15與行控制器17。其中,假設LED顯示面板11包含排列為M行與N列的多個子像素電路SP(1,1)~SP(M,N)。M與N均為正整數。若LED顯示裝置10為單色顯示器時,M為正整數。若LED顯示裝置10為彩色顯示器時,M為3的倍數。此外,行控制器17進一步包含移位暫存器(shift register)12、開關暫存器(ON/OFF register)/栓鎖器(latch)14與M個開關sw1、sw2、swM等。 Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of a conventional LED display device. The LED display device 10 includes an LED display panel 11, a timing controller 13, a column controller 15 and a row controller 17. It is assumed that the LED display panel 11 includes a plurality of sub-pixel circuits SP(1,1)-SP(M,N) arranged in M rows and N columns. Both M and N are positive integers. If the LED display device 10 is a monochrome display, M is a positive integer. If the LED display device 10 is a color display, M is a multiple of 3. In addition, the row controller 17 further includes a shift register 12, an ON/OFF register/latch 14, and M switches sw1, sw2, swM, and so on.

首先,由時序控制器13產生時序控制信號至列控制器15與行控制器17。接著,列控制器15根據時序控制信號產生N個閘極控制信號GC[1]~GC[N],分別用於選取位於N列的子像素電路SP(1,1)~SP(M,N)。此外,行控制器17則根據時序控制信號產生M個資料電壓(data voltage),分別供應排列為M行的子像素電路SP(1,1)~SP(M,N)。為便於說明,本文以相同的符號同時代表信號線與經由該信號線 所傳送的信號。例如,以GC[1]同時代表與第一列的子像素SP(1,1)~SP(M,1)電連接的閘極控制線,以及傳送至第一列的子像素SP(1,1)~SP(M,1)的閘極控制信號。 First, the timing controller 13 generates timing control signals to the column controller 15 and the row controller 17. Next, the column controller 15 generates N gate control signals GC[1]~GC[N] according to the timing control signal, which are respectively used to select the sub-pixel circuits SP(1,1)~SP(M,N ). In addition, the row controller 17 generates M data voltages according to the timing control signal, and respectively supplies the sub-pixel circuits SP(1,1)~SP(M,N) arranged in M rows. For the convenience of description, this article uses the same symbol to represent both the signal line and the signal line The transmitted signal. For example, GC[1] simultaneously represents the gate control line electrically connected to the sub-pixels SP(1,1)~SP(M,1) in the first column and the sub-pixel SP(1, 1)~SP(M,1) gate control signal.

在第1圖中,每個子像素電路SP(1,1)~SP(M,N)包含一個發光元件(例如,發光二極體LED)。發光二極體LED的陽極電連接於一閘極控制線GC[1]~GC[N],且其陰極電連接於一資料線S[1]~S[M]。由於閘極控制線GC[1]~GC[N]與資料線S[1]~S[M]之間存在電壓差,在每個發光二極體LED的兩極之間存在寄生電容Cp。例如,在子像素電路SP(1,1)中,包含一個發光二極體LED以及介於閘極控制線GC[1]和資料線S[1]~S[M]S[1]之間的寄生電容Cp。同理,在子像素電路SP(M,N)中,包含一個發光二極體LED,以及在閘極控制信號GC[N]和資料線S[M]之間形成的寄生電容Cp。 In Figure 1, each sub-pixel circuit SP(1,1)-SP(M,N) includes a light-emitting element (for example, a light-emitting diode LED). The anode of the light emitting diode LED is electrically connected to a gate control line GC[1]~GC[N], and its cathode is electrically connected to a data line S[1]~S[M]. Since there is a voltage difference between the gate control line GC[1]~GC[N] and the data line S[1]~S[M], there is a parasitic capacitance Cp between the two poles of each light-emitting diode LED. For example, in the sub-pixel circuit SP(1,1), it includes a light-emitting diode LED and is located between the gate control line GC[1] and the data line S[1]~S[M]S[1] The parasitic capacitance Cp. Similarly, the sub-pixel circuit SP(M, N) includes a light emitting diode LED and a parasitic capacitance Cp formed between the gate control signal GC[N] and the data line S[M].

接著,以位於第m行與第n列的子像素SP(m,n)為例,說明習用的LED顯示面板11可能因為寄生電容Cp的存在而衍生鬼影現象。子像素電路SP(m,n)電連接於資料線S[m]與閘極控制線GC[n]。其中,m小於或等於M,n小於或等於N,且m、n均為正整數。 Next, taking the sub-pixel SP(m,n) located in the mth row and the nth column as an example, it is explained that the conventional LED display panel 11 may cause ghosting due to the existence of the parasitic capacitance Cp. The sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is electrically connected to the data line S[m] and the gate control line GC[n]. Among them, m is less than or equal to M, n is less than or equal to N, and both m and n are positive integers.

請參見第2圖,其係藉由改變閘極控制信號GC[n]的位準,選取第n列的子像素電路SP(1,n)~SP(M,n)之示意圖形。當閘極控制信號GC[n]在ta時點由低位準(L)切換至高位準(H)時,代表時序控制器13選擇位於第n列的子像素電路SP(1,n)~SP(M,n)發光。當閘極控制信號GC[n]在tb時點由高位準(H)切換至低位準(L)時,代表時序控制器13並未選取位於第n列的子像素電路SP(1,n)~SP(M,n)。 Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of selecting the sub-pixel circuits SP(1,n)~SP(M,n) in the nth column by changing the level of the gate control signal GC[n]. When the gate control signal GC[n] switches from a low level (L) to a high level (H) at time ta, it means that the timing controller 13 selects the sub-pixel circuits SP(1,n)~SP( M, n) emit light. When the gate control signal GC[n] switches from a high level (H) to a low level (L) at time tb, it means that the timing controller 13 does not select the sub-pixel circuit SP(1,n) in the nth column~ SP(M,n).

請參見第3A圖,其係時序控制器選擇習用的LED顯示面板中的子像素電路SP(m,n)發光時,流經子像素電路SP(m,n)的電流流向之示意圖。請同時參見第2圖與第3A圖。在ta時點,當時序控制器13選擇子像素電路SP(m,n)發光時,閘極控制信號GC[n]由低位準(L)切換至高位準(H)。此時,資料電流ip自閘極控制線GC[n]流經發光二極體LED至資料線S[m]。發光二極體LED因資料電流ip的流經而導通並發光,且資料電流ip的大小由一電流源決定。關於如何利用電流源控制子像素電路SP(m,n)的亮度等細節,本文不予詳述。在ta時點至tb時點的這段期間,位於子像素電路SP(m,n)的寄生電容Cp也因閘極控制線GC[n]和資料線S[m]之間的壓差而被充電。 Please refer to FIG. 3A, which is a schematic diagram of the current flowing through the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) when the timing controller selects the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) in the conventional LED display panel to emit light. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3A at the same time. At time ta, when the timing controller 13 selects the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) to emit light, the gate control signal GC[n] switches from a low level (L) to a high level (H). At this time, the data current ip flows from the gate control line GC[n] through the light emitting diode LED to the data line S[m]. The light emitting diode LED is turned on and emits light due to the flow of the data current ip, and the size of the data current ip is determined by a current source. The details of how to use the current source to control the brightness of the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) will not be described in detail in this article. During the period from time ta to time tb, the parasitic capacitance Cp located in the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is also charged due to the voltage difference between the gate control line GC[n] and the data line S[m] .

請參見第3B圖,其係習用的LED顯示面板中的子像素電路SP(m,n),在未被時序控制器選定發光時的電流流向之示意圖。請同時參見第2圖與第3B圖。當時序控制器13未選取子像素電路SP(m,n)並時,閘極控制信號GC[n]在tb時點由高位準(H)切換至低位準(L)。理想狀況下,此時的發光二極體LED將因陽極的閘極控制信號GC[n]為低位準(L)的緣故而停止發光。但是,因為寄生電容Cp先前曾在ta時點至tb時點的期間蓄積電荷的緣故,導致在tb時點後,將從寄生電容Cp產生一放電電流id。放電電流id自寄生電容Cp流出後,先流經發光二極體LED,再流至資料線S[m]。因此,儘管時序控制器13在tb時點過後並未選取子像素電路SP(m,n),子像素電路SP(m,n)仍因放電電流id的流經而發光。 Please refer to FIG. 3B, which is a schematic diagram of the current flow of the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) in the conventional LED display panel when it is not selected by the timing controller to emit light. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3B at the same time. When the timing controller 13 does not select the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n), the gate control signal GC[n] switches from the high level (H) to the low level (L) at the time tb. Under ideal conditions, the light-emitting diode LED at this time will stop emitting light because the anode gate control signal GC[n] is at a low level (L). However, because the parasitic capacitance Cp previously accumulated charge during the period from the time ta to the time tb, a discharge current id will be generated from the parasitic capacitance Cp after the time tb. After the discharge current id flows out from the parasitic capacitance Cp, it first flows through the light emitting diode LED, and then flows to the data line S[m]. Therefore, even though the timing controller 13 does not select the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) after the time tb, the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) still emits light due to the flow of the discharge current id.

由於寄生電容Cp在ta時點至tb時點的期間所累積的電荷量有限,發光二極體LED在tb時點過後所發出的光線,也相對較在ta時點至tb時點的期間所發出的光線弱。此種在子像素電路SP(m,n)並未實際被時序控制器13所選取,但子像素電路SP(m,n)內的發光二極體LED仍因寄生電容Cp的放電而引起衍生放電電流id進而發光的現象,將對使用者觀看顯示畫面時的視覺效果產生影響。此種非預期的LED發光的情況稱為鬼影現象。鬼影現象為LED顯示面板的製造商欲解決的問題。 Since the amount of charge accumulated by the parasitic capacitance Cp from time ta to time tb is limited, the light emitted by the light emitting diode LED after time tb is relatively weaker than the light emitted from time ta to time tb. Such a sub-pixel circuit SP (m, n) is not actually selected by the timing controller 13, but the light-emitting diode LED in the sub-pixel circuit SP (m, n) is still derived from the discharge of the parasitic capacitance Cp The phenomenon of the discharge current id and then the light will have an impact on the visual effect of the user when viewing the display screen. This kind of unexpected LED light emission is called ghosting phenomenon. The ghosting phenomenon is a problem that LED display panel manufacturers want to solve.

本發明係有關於一種可避免鬼影現象的顯示裝置與顯示面板。在顯示面板的子像素電路中,設置選擇電路與發光電路。在發光電路中,包含彼此並聯的旁路電晶體與發光元件。當子像素電路內的發光元件被時序控器選取時,旁路電晶體斷開。反之,當子像素電路內的發光元件未被選取時,旁路電晶體將導通,進而使發光元件因兩端的電壓小於順向電壓Vf而不發光。 The invention relates to a display device and a display panel capable of avoiding ghosting phenomenon. In the sub-pixel circuit of the display panel, a selection circuit and a light-emitting circuit are provided. The light-emitting circuit includes bypass transistors and light-emitting elements connected in parallel with each other. When the light-emitting element in the sub-pixel circuit is selected by the timing controller, the bypass transistor is disconnected. Conversely, when the light-emitting element in the sub-pixel circuit is not selected, the bypass transistor will be turned on, so that the light-emitting element does not emit light because the voltage across it is less than the forward voltage Vf.

如前所述,由於寄生電容Cp的存在,導致習用的LED顯示面板產生鬼影現象並影響使用者的視覺感受。為此,本揭露的實施例提供不同於習用技術的LED子像素電路。採用本發明實施例的LED 子像素電路可避免因寄生電容Cp的存在而導致的鬼影現象。以下說明雖以彩色LED顯示面板為主,但本發明亦可應用於單色LED顯示面板。此外,其他非採用發光二極體LED作為發光元件的顯示面板,亦可透過類似的方式改善鬼影現象。 As mentioned above, due to the existence of the parasitic capacitance Cp, the conventional LED display panel produces a ghosting phenomenon and affects the user's visual experience. To this end, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide LED sub-pixel circuits that are different from conventional technologies. LED adopting embodiment of the present invention The sub-pixel circuit can avoid the ghosting phenomenon caused by the existence of the parasitic capacitance Cp. Although the following description focuses on color LED display panels, the present invention can also be applied to monochromatic LED display panels. In addition, other display panels that do not use light-emitting diode LEDs as light-emitting elements can also improve the ghosting phenomenon in a similar manner.

請參見第4A圖,其係根據本揭露構想的子像素電路SP(m,n)的實施例之示意圖。子像素電路SP(m,n)電連接於第n列的列供應電壓Vdd[n]、閘極控制線GC[n]、放電選擇(discharge selection)線DS[n]與資料線S[m]。其中,列供應電壓Vdd[n]始終維持在高電壓(例如,電壓為6伏特的發光二極體電壓VLED)。 Please refer to FIG. 4A, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) according to the present disclosure. The sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is electrically connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] of the nth column, the gate control line GC[n], the discharge selection line DS[n] and the data line S[m] ]. Among them, the column supply voltage Vdd[n] is always maintained at a high voltage (for example, the light-emitting diode voltage V LED with a voltage of 6 volts).

子像素電路SP(m,n)包含:選擇電路(selection circuit,簡稱為SC)與發光電路(lightening circuit,簡稱為LC)。選擇電路SC包含選擇電晶體selTFT,而發光電路LC包含彼此並聯的旁路電晶體bpTFT與發光二極體LED。為便於說明,在本文中,假設選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT均為P型薄膜電晶體,但實際應用時,選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT可能均為N型薄膜電晶體;或者,選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT的其中一者為P型薄膜電晶體、另一者為N型薄膜電晶體。其中,在選擇電晶體selTFT的閘極與汲極之間可能存在寄生電容Cp。 The sub-pixel circuit SP (m, n) includes a selection circuit (SC for short) and a lightening circuit (LC for short). The selection circuit SC includes a selection transistor selTFT, and the light-emitting circuit LC includes a bypass transistor bpTFT and a light-emitting diode LED connected in parallel with each other. For the convenience of explanation, in this article, it is assumed that the selected transistor selTFT and the bypass transistor bpTFT are both P-type thin film transistors, but in actual applications, the selected transistor selTFT and the bypass transistor bpTFT may both be N-type thin film transistors. Or, one of the selTFT and the bypass transistor bpTFT is selected as a P-type thin film transistor, and the other is an N-type thin film transistor. Among them, there may be a parasitic capacitance Cp between the gate and drain of the selective transistor selTFT.

選擇電晶體selTFT的源極電連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]、閘極接收閘極控制信號GC[nc]、汲極電連接於分支節點Nbr。為便於說明,本文將分支節點Nbr的電壓定義為分支電壓Vbr。在發光電路中,發光二極體LED與旁路電晶體bpTFT彼此並聯。其中,發光 二極體LED的陽極與旁路電晶體bpTFT的源極電連接於分支節點Nbr。發光二極體LED的陰極與旁路電晶體bpTFT的汲極電連接於資料線S[m]。旁路電晶體bpTFT的閘極接收放電選擇信號DS[n]。 The source of the selection transistor selTFT is electrically connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n], the gate receives the gate control signal GC[nc], and the drain is electrically connected to the branch node Nbr. For ease of description, this article defines the voltage of the branch node Nbr as the branch voltage Vbr. In the light-emitting circuit, the light-emitting diode LED and the bypass transistor bpTFT are connected in parallel with each other. Among them, luminous The anode of the diode LED and the source of the bypass transistor bpTFT are electrically connected to the branch node Nbr. The cathode of the light emitting diode LED and the drain of the bypass transistor bpTFT are electrically connected to the data line S[m]. The gate of the bypass transistor bpTFT receives the discharge selection signal DS[n].

請參見第4B圖,其係改變閘極控制信號GC[n]的位準,作為選取第4A圖的子像素電路SP(m,n)之發光與否的示意圖。在ta時點,閘極控制信號GC[n]由高位準(H)轉換至低位準(L),且放電選擇信號DS[n]由低位準(L)轉換至高位準(H)。在tb時點,閘極控制信號GC[n]由低位準(L)轉換至高位準(H),且放電選擇信號DS[n]由高位準(H)轉換至低位準(L)。例如,閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的高位準(H)的電壓值可為8伏特,閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的低位準(L)的電壓值可為-10伏特)。 Please refer to FIG. 4B, which changes the level of the gate control signal GC[n] as a schematic diagram of selecting whether the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) in FIG. 4A emits light. At time ta, the gate control signal GC[n] is converted from a high level (H) to a low level (L), and the discharge selection signal DS[n] is converted from a low level (L) to a high level (H). At time tb, the gate control signal GC[n] is converted from a low level (L) to a high level (H), and the discharge selection signal DS[n] is converted from a high level (H) to a low level (L). For example, the voltage value of the high level (H) of the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] can be 8 volts, and the low level of the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] The voltage value of the standard (L) can be -10 volts).

若選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT為同類型的電晶體時(例如,同為P型或同為N型),閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的位準維持反向。或者,若選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT為不同類型的電晶體時(例如,選擇電晶體selTFT為P型而旁路電晶體bpTFT為N型,或者,選擇電晶體selTFT為N型而旁路電晶體bpTFT為P型),則閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的位準維持同向。 If the selected transistor selTFT and the bypass transistor bpTFT are the same type of transistors (for example, the same P-type or the same N-type), the position of the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] Quasi-maintain the reverse. Or, if the transistor selTFT and the bypass transistor bpTFT are selected as different types of transistors (for example, the transistor selTFT is selected as P type and the bypass transistor bpTFT is selected as N type, or the transistor selTFT is selected as N type and The bypass transistor bpTFT is P-type), the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] maintain the same direction.

此處假設閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]由列控制器提供。此外,分支電壓Vbr的變化取決於閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的變化對選擇電路與發光電路的影響。關於分支 電壓Vbr如何因應閘極控制信號GC[n]與放電選擇信號DS[n]的改變而變化,將於第5A、5B圖說明。 It is assumed here that the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] are provided by the column controller. In addition, the change of the branch voltage Vbr depends on the influence of the change of the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] on the selection circuit and the light-emitting circuit. About branches How the voltage Vbr changes in response to changes in the gate control signal GC[n] and the discharge selection signal DS[n] will be described in Figs. 5A and 5B.

請參見第5A圖,其係子像素電路SP(m,n)被時序控制器選定發光時的電流流向之示意圖。此圖式對應於第4B圖的ta時點至tb時點的期間,故請同時參見第4B圖與第5A圖。由於閘極控制信號GC[n]在ta時點至tb時點的期間為低位準(L)的緣故,選擇電晶體selTFT在ta時點至tb時點的期間將導通。因此,選擇電晶體selTFT的源極將接收到發光二極體電壓VLED導通至分支節點Nbr。也因此,分支電壓Vbr在ta時點至tb時點的期間為高位準(H)。 Please refer to FIG. 5A, which is a schematic diagram of the current flow when the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is selected by the timing controller to emit light. This diagram corresponds to the period from time ta to time tb in Figure 4B, so please refer to Figure 4B and Figure 5A at the same time. Since the gate control signal GC[n] is at a low level (L) from time ta to time tb, the selection transistor selTFT will be turned on from time ta to time tb. Therefore, the source of the selective transistor selTFT will receive the light-emitting diode voltage V LED to conduct to the branch node Nbr. Therefore, the branch voltage Vbr is at a high level (H) from the time point ta to the time point tb.

連帶的,發光二極體LED的陽極因為連接至分支節點Nbr的緣故也為高位準(H)。故發光二極體LED在ta時點至tb時點的期間發光。另一方面,旁路電晶體bpTFT因為閘極接收到高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DS[nc]而維持關閉(斷開)。據此,當子像素電路SP(m,n)被選定並發光時,發光二極體LED可正常的發光,且旁路電晶體bpTFT的設置並不會影響發光二極體LED的發光。 Incidentally, the anode of the light-emitting diode LED is also at a high level (H) because it is connected to the branch node Nbr. Therefore, the light-emitting diode LED emits light during the period from time ta to time tb. On the other hand, the bypass transistor bpTFT remains closed (disconnected) because the gate receives the high-level (H) discharge selection signal DS[nc]. Accordingly, when the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is selected and emits light, the light-emitting diode LED can normally emit light, and the setting of the bypass transistor bpTFT does not affect the light-emitting of the light-emitting diode LED.

請參見第5B圖,其係子像素電路SP(m,n)未被時序控制器選定發光時的電流流向之示意圖。此圖式對應於第4B圖的tb時點過後,故請同時參見第4B圖與第5B圖。 Please refer to FIG. 5B, which is a schematic diagram of the current flow when the sub-pixel circuit SP(m,n) is not selected by the timing controller to emit light. This pattern corresponds to the tb time point in Fig. 4B, so please refer to Fig. 4B and Fig. 5B at the same time.

由於閘極控制信號GC[n]在tb時點過後為高位準(H),選擇電晶體selTFT將斷開。儘管選擇電晶體selTFT斷開,所以分支電壓Vbr無法經由選擇電晶體selTFT接收來自列供應電壓Vdd[n]的發光二極體電壓VLED,但分支電壓Vbr仍將自Cp接收先前在ta時點與tb時點之 間所儲存的電荷。因此,分支電壓Vbr並不會在tb時點立刻降至低位準(L),而是經過一段遞減期間後才降至低位準。 Since the gate control signal GC[n] is at a high level (H) after the tb time point, the selection transistor selTFT will be turned off. Although the selection transistor selTFT is disconnected, the branch voltage Vbr cannot receive the light-emitting diode voltage V LED from the column supply voltage Vdd[n] through the selection transistor selTFT, but the branch voltage Vbr will still receive from Cp at the time point ta and The charge stored between tb time points. Therefore, the branch voltage Vbr does not drop to the low level (L) immediately at the tb time point, but drops to the low level after a period of decreasing.

自tb時點過後,放電選擇信號DS[nc]由高位準(H)切換至低位準(L)。此時,旁路電晶體bpTFT因為閘極接收到低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DS[n]而導通。此時,由寄生電容Cp傳送至分支節點Nbr的電荷將因為旁路電晶體bpTFT導通的緣故,使放電電流id先流經旁路電晶體bpTFT後,再流至資料線S[m]。由於旁路電晶體bpTFT導通的緣故,發光二極體LED兩端的電壓小於其順向電壓(forward voltage,簡稱為Vf)。連帶的,此時並不會有電流流經發光二極體LED。據此,可以確保未被選取的發光二極體LED不會發光。也因此,採用此種像素結構的LED顯示面板並不會產生鬼影的現象。 After the tb time point, the discharge selection signal DS[nc] switches from a high level (H) to a low level (L). At this time, the bypass transistor bpTFT is turned on because the gate receives the low-level (L) discharge selection signal DS[n]. At this time, the charge transferred from the parasitic capacitor Cp to the branch node Nbr will cause the discharge current id to flow through the bypass transistor bpTFT first, and then to the data line S[m] due to the conduction of the bypass transistor bpTFT. Due to the conduction of the bypass transistor bpTFT, the voltage across the light emitting diode LED is less than its forward voltage (Vf). Incidentally, no current will flow through the light-emitting diode LED at this time. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the light-emitting diode LED that is not selected does not emit light. Therefore, the LED display panel adopting this pixel structure does not produce ghost images.

根據本發明的構想,LED顯示面板包含多個如第4A圖所示的子像素電路SP(m,n),並搭配第4B圖波形加以控制。其中,子像素電路內的發光二極體LED可為單色,或為不同的顏色。在彩色LED顯示面板中,像素電路可包含紅色子像素(red subpixel)電路、子像素(green subpixel)電路與藍色子像素(blue subpixel)電路。 According to the concept of the present invention, the LED display panel includes a plurality of sub-pixel circuits SP(m, n) as shown in FIG. 4A, which are controlled with the waveform in FIG. 4B. Among them, the light-emitting diode LED in the sub-pixel circuit can be a single color or different colors. In a color LED display panel, the pixel circuit may include a red subpixel circuit, a green subpixel circuit, and a blue subpixel circuit.

請參見第6A圖,其係彩色的像素電路採用第4A圖之架構的示意圖。在此圖式中,像素電路P(x,n)包含:紅色子像素電路、綠色子像素電路與藍色子像素電路。紅色子像素電路包含紅色選擇電路SCr與紅色發光電路LCr;綠色子像素電路包含綠色選擇電路SCg與綠色發光電路LCg;藍色子像素電路包含藍色選擇電路SCb與藍色發光電路LCb。 Please refer to FIG. 6A, which is a schematic diagram of the color pixel circuit adopting the structure of FIG. 4A. In this figure, the pixel circuit P(x, n) includes: a red sub-pixel circuit, a green sub-pixel circuit, and a blue sub-pixel circuit. The red sub-pixel circuit includes a red selection circuit SCr and a red light-emitting circuit LCr; the green sub-pixel circuit includes a green selection circuit SCg and a green light-emitting circuit LCg; the blue sub-pixel circuit includes a blue selection circuit SCb and a blue light-emitting circuit LCb.

在紅色子像素電路中,紅色選擇電路SCr電連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]、閘極控制線GCr[n]與分支節點Nbrr。此外,紅色發光 電路LCr電連接於分支節點Nbrr、放電選擇線DSr[n]與資料線Sr[x]。在綠色子像素電路中,綠色選擇電路SCg電連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]、閘極控制線GCg[n]與分支節點Nbrg。此外,綠色發光電路LCg電連接於分支節點Nbrg、放電選擇線DSg[n]與資料線Sg[x]。在藍色子像素電路中,藍色選擇電路SCb電連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]、閘極控制線GCb[n]與分支節點Nbrb。此外,藍色發光電路LCb電連接於分支節點Nbrb、放電選擇線DSb[n]與資料線Sb[x]。 In the red sub-pixel circuit, the red selection circuit SCr is electrically connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n], the gate control line GCr[n] and the branch node Nbrr. In addition, red glow The circuit LCr is electrically connected to the branch node Nbrr, the discharge selection line DSr[n] and the data line Sr[x]. In the green sub-pixel circuit, the green selection circuit SCg is electrically connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n], the gate control line GCg[n] and the branch node Nbrg. In addition, the green light-emitting circuit LCg is electrically connected to the branch node Nbrg, the discharge selection line DSg[n], and the data line Sg[x]. In the blue sub-pixel circuit, the blue selection circuit SCb is electrically connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n], the gate control line GCb[n] and the branch node Nbrb. In addition, the blue light-emitting circuit LCb is electrically connected to the branch node Nbrb, the discharge selection line DSb[n], and the data line Sb[x].

由第6A圖可以看出,不同顏色的子像素電路的電路架構均相似,其差異處為子像素電路所包含之發光二極體LED的顏色,以及所對應之閘極控制信號GC[n]和放電選擇信號DS[n]。表1整理第6A圖的子像素電路的比較。 It can be seen from Figure 6A that the circuit architectures of the sub-pixel circuits of different colors are similar. The difference lies in the color of the light-emitting diode LED contained in the sub-pixel circuit and the corresponding gate control signal GC[n] And discharge selection signal DS[n]. Table 1 summarizes the comparison of the sub-pixel circuits in Figure 6A.

請參見第6B圖,其係與第6A圖的像素電路相關之控制信號的波形圖。此圖式的波形由上而下分別為:列供應電壓Vdd[n]、與紅色子像素相連的閘極控制信號GCr[n]、與綠色子像素相連的閘極控制信號GCg[n]、與藍色子像素相連的閘極控制信號]GCb[n]、與紅色子像素相連的放電選擇信號DSr[n]、綠色子像素相連的放電選擇信號DSg[n],以及與藍色子像素相連的放電選擇信號DSb[n]。t1時點至t4時點為,與像素電路P(x,n)對應的像素顯示期間Tp。 Please refer to Fig. 6B, which is a waveform diagram of control signals related to the pixel circuit of Fig. 6A. The waveforms of this figure from top to bottom are: column supply voltage Vdd[n], gate control signal GCr[n] connected to the red sub-pixel, gate control signal GCg[n] connected to the green sub-pixel, The gate control signal]GCb[n] connected to the blue sub-pixel, the discharge selection signal DSr[n] connected to the red sub-pixel, the discharge selection signal DSg[n] connected to the green sub-pixel, and the blue sub-pixel Connected discharge selection signal DSb[n]. The time t1 to the time t4 is the pixel display period Tp corresponding to the pixel circuit P(x, n).

在t1時點至t2時點的期間,閘極控制信號GCr[n]為低位準,且放電選擇信號DSr[n]為高位準。此時,紅色子像素電路的狀態如第5A圖所示。即,發光二極體LEDr發光,而旁路電晶體bpTFTr斷開。另一方面,由於閘極控制信號GCg[n]、GCb[n]為高位準,而放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DS[n]為低位準。在t1時點至t2時點的期間,綠色子像素電路與藍色子像素電路的狀態如第5B圖所示。即,在綠色子像素中,放電電流id將流經旁路電晶體bpTFTg,使發光二極體LEDg兩端的電壓小於其順向電壓Vf;以及,在藍色子像素電路中,放電電流id將流經電晶體bpTFTb,使發光二極體LEDb兩端的電壓小於其順向電壓Vf。因此,由於沒有任何電流流經綠色子像素內的發光二極體LEDg、藍色子像素內的發光二極體LEDb的緣故,發光二極體LEDg、LEDb在t1時點至t2時點的期間並不會發光。此處將t1時點至t2時點的期間定義為,與紅色子像素電路對應的子像素發光期間Tspr。 During the period from time t1 to time t2, the gate control signal GCr[n] is at a low level, and the discharge selection signal DSr[n] is at a high level. At this time, the state of the red sub-pixel circuit is shown in Figure 5A. That is, the light emitting diode LEDr emits light, and the bypass transistor bpTFTr is turned off. On the other hand, since the gate control signals GCg[n] and GCb[n] are at high levels, the discharge selection signals DSg[n] and DS[n] are at low levels. During the period from time t1 to time t2, the states of the green sub-pixel circuit and the blue sub-pixel circuit are as shown in FIG. 5B. That is, in the green sub-pixel, the discharge current id will flow through the bypass transistor bpTFTg, so that the voltage across the light emitting diode LEDg is less than its forward voltage Vf; and, in the blue sub-pixel circuit, the discharge current id will be Flowing through the transistor bpTFTb makes the voltage across the light emitting diode LEDb smaller than its forward voltage Vf. Therefore, since no current flows through the light-emitting diode LEDg in the green sub-pixel and the light-emitting diode LEDb in the blue sub-pixel, the light-emitting diodes LEDg and LEDb do not flow from time t1 to time t2. Will shine. Here, the period from time t1 to time t2 is defined as the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr corresponding to the red sub-pixel circuit.

同理,在t2時點至t3時點的期間,綠色子像素電路處於第5A圖的狀態,而紅色子像素電路與藍色子像素電路處於如第5B圖所示的狀態。故,綠色子像素電路內的發光二極體LEDg在t2時點至t3時點的期間發光,而紅色子像素內的發光二極體LEDr和藍色子像素內的發光二極體LEDb在這段期間並不會發光。此處將t2時點至t3時點的期間定義為,與綠色子像素電路對應的子像素發光期間Tspg。 Similarly, during the period from time t2 to time t3, the green sub-pixel circuit is in the state shown in FIG. 5A, and the red sub-pixel circuit and the blue sub-pixel circuit are in the state shown in FIG. 5B. Therefore, the light-emitting diode LEDg in the green sub-pixel circuit emits light during the period from t2 to t3, while the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red sub-pixel and the light-emitting diode LEDb in the blue sub-pixel emit light during this period. It will not shine. Here, the period from time t2 to time t3 is defined as the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspg corresponding to the green sub-pixel circuit.

在t3時點至t4時點的期間,藍色子像素電路處於第5A圖的狀態,而紅色子像素電路、綠色子像素電路處於第5B圖的狀態。故,藍色子像素電路內的發光二極體LEDb在這段期間發光,而紅色子像素內的發光二極體LEDr和綠色子像素內的發光二極體LEDg並不會在t3 時點至t4時點的期間發光。此處將t3時點至t4時點的期間定義為,與藍色子像素電路對應的子像素發光期間Tspb。 During the period from time t3 to time t4, the blue sub-pixel circuit is in the state of FIG. 5A, and the red sub-pixel circuit and the green sub-pixel circuit are in the state of FIG. 5B. Therefore, the light-emitting diode LEDb in the blue sub-pixel circuit emits light during this period, while the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red sub-pixel and the light-emitting diode LEDg in the green sub-pixel will not emit light at t3. Light is emitted from time point to time t4. Here, the period from time t3 to time t4 is defined as the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspb corresponding to the blue sub-pixel circuit.

On the other hand, the green light-emitting circuit LCg of the pixel circuit P(2,1) is electrically connected to the current source Isrc[5] via the data line Sg[2] and the switch sw[5], and the brightness of the light-emitting diode LEDg Determined by the current value of the data current provided by the current source Isrc[5].

像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的藍色發光電路LCb均與閘極控制信號GCb[1]和放電選擇信號DSb[1]相關,但像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的藍色發光電路LCb連接至不同的資料線Sb[1]、Sb[2]。像素電路P(1,1)的藍色發光電路LCb經資料線Sb[1]與開關sw[3]而電連接於電流源Isrc[3],且其發光二極體LEDb的亮度由電流源Isrc[3]所提供的資料電流的電流值決定。另一方面,像素電路P(2,1)的藍色發光電路LCb經資料線Sb[2]與開關sw[6]而電連接於電流源Isrc[6],且其發光二極體LEDb的亮度由電流源Isrc[6]所提供的資料電流的電流值決定。 The blue light-emitting circuits LCb of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) are all related to the gate control signal GCb[1] and the discharge selection signal DSb[1], but the pixel circuit P(1,1) , The blue light-emitting circuit LCb of P(2,1) is connected to different data lines Sb[1] and Sb[2].

On the other hand, the blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuit P(2,1) is electrically connected to the current source Isrc[6] via the data line Sb[2] and the switch sw[6], and the light-emitting diode LEDb The brightness is determined by the current value of the data current provided by the current source Isrc[6].

關於第7A圖中,位於第二列的像素電路P(1,2)、P(2,2),以及第三列的像素電路P(1,3)、P(3,3)所包含的紅色選擇電路 SCr、綠色選擇電路SCg、藍色選擇電路SCb與紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb的相關細節,亦可類推前述說明得出。此處僅以表列方式呈現而不再詳述。 Regarding Figure 7A, the pixel circuits P(1,2) and P(2,2) in the second column and the pixel circuits P(1,3) and P(3,3) in the third column are included Red selection circuit The related details of SCr, the green selection circuit SCg, the blue selection circuit SCb, the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb can also be derived by analogy with the foregoing description. Here is only presented in a tabular manner and will not be described in detail.

Figure 108144496-A0305-02-0018-3
Figure 108144496-A0305-02-0018-3

由第7A圖可以看出,位於同一行的發光電路經由相同的資料信號S[m]連接至對應的電流源。例如,像素電路P(1,1)、P(1,2)、P(1,3)的紅色發光電路LCr均位於第一行,且同時電連接於資料線S[1]。當行致能信號Senr[1]為高位準(H)時,開關sw[1]導通。此時,根據閘極控制信號GCr[1]、GCr[2]、GCr[3]的電壓位準,決定是像素 電路P(1,1)、P(1,2)、像素電路P(1,3)中何者的紅色發光電路LCr將發光。其中,被選定發光的紅色發光電路LCr,其亮度將由電流源Isrc[1]所提供的資料電流的電流值決定。 It can be seen from Figure 7A that the light-emitting circuits located in the same row are connected to the corresponding current source via the same data signal S[m]. For example, the red light-emitting circuits LCr of the pixel circuits P(1,1), P(1,2), and P(1,3) are all located in the first row, and are electrically connected to the data line S[1] at the same time. When the line enable signal Senr[1] is at a high level (H), the switch sw[1] is turned on. At this time, according to the voltage levels of the gate control signals GCr[1], GCr[2], GCr[3], it is determined to be the pixel Which of the circuits P(1,1), P(1,2), or the pixel circuit P(1,3), the red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light. Among them, the brightness of the red light-emitting circuit LCr selected to emit light will be determined by the current value of the data current provided by the current source Isrc[1].

例如,若閘極控制信號GCr[1]為低位準(L),且閘極控制信號GCr[2]、GCr[3]均為高位準(H)時,像素電路P(1,1)的紅色發光電路LCr將發光。或者,若閘極控制信號GCr[2]為低位準(L),且閘極控制信號GCr[1]、GCr[3]均為高位準(H)時,像素電路P(1,2)的紅色發光電路LCr將發光。又如,若閘極控制信號GCr[3]為低位準(L),且閘極控制信號GCr[1]、GCr[2]均為高位準(H)時,像素電路P(1,3)的紅色發光電路LCr將發光。 For example, if the gate control signal GCr[1] is at a low level (L), and the gate control signals GCr[2] and GCr[3] are both at a high level (H), the pixel circuit P(1,1) The red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light. Or, if the gate control signal GCr[2] is at a low level (L), and the gate control signals GCr[1] and GCr[3] are both at a high level (H), the pixel circuit P(1,2) The red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light. For another example, if the gate control signal GCr[3] is at a low level (L), and the gate control signals GCr[1] and GCr[2] are both at a high level (H), the pixel circuit P(1,3) The red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light.

Detailed.

請參見第7B圖,其係與第7A圖的像素電路相關之控制信號的波形圖。請同時參看第7A圖與第7B圖。第7B圖的橫軸為時間。 Please refer to Fig. 7B, which is a waveform diagram of the control signals related to the pixel circuit of Fig. 7A. Please refer to Figure 7A and Figure 7B at the same time. The horizontal axis of Figure 7B is time.

t1時點至t4時點對應於第一列的像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的列發光期間Tr[1]。即,在t1時點至t4時點的期間,位於第二列的像素電路P(1,2)、P(2,2)以及位於第三列的像素電路P(1,3)、P(2,3)的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb均處於如第5B圖的狀態而不會發光。另,t1時點至t4時點的期間進一步分為三個子像素發光期間Tspr、Tspg、Tspb。與紅色發光電路LCr對應的子像素發光期間Tspr介於t1時點與t2時點之間;與綠色發光電路LCg對應的子像素發光期間Tspg介於t2時點與t3時點之間;且,與藍色發光電路LCb對應的子像素發光期間Tspb介於t3時點與t4時點之間。 The time t1 to the time t4 corresponds to the column light emitting period Tr[1] of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) of the first column. That is, during the period from time t1 to time t4, the pixel circuits P(1,2), P(2,2) located in the second column and the pixel circuits P(1,3), P(2, 2) located in the third column 3) The red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb are all in the state shown in FIG. 5B and do not emit light. In addition, the period from time t1 to time t4 is further divided into three sub-pixel light emitting periods Tspr, Tspg, and Tspb. The sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr corresponding to the red light-emitting circuit LCr is between t1 and t2; the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspg corresponding to the green light-emitting circuit LCg is between t2 and t3; and, with blue light emission The light-emitting period Tspb of the sub-pixel corresponding to the circuit LCb is between the time t3 and the time t4.

由於行致能信號Sen[1]、Sen[2]同樣在t1時點至t2時點為高位準,像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的紅色發光電路LCr可同時於這段期間發光。即,位於同一列且具有相同顏色的發光電路可同時發光。其中,行致能信號Senr[1]、Senr[2]將分別使開關sw[1]、sw[4]導通。開關sw[1]的導通使資料線Sr[1]電連接於電流源Isrc[1],而開關sw[4]的導通使資料線Sr[2]電連接於電流源Isrc[4]。因此,在t1時點至t2時點的期間,像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LED的亮度,將分別由電流源Isrc[1]、Isrc[4]所提供的資料電流的電流值決定。 Since the line enable signals Sen[1] and Sen[2] are also at high levels from t1 to t2, the red light-emitting circuits LCr of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) can be in this segment at the same time Glow during the period. That is, the light-emitting circuits that are located in the same column and have the same color can emit light at the same time. Among them, the line enable signals Senr[1] and Senr[2] will respectively turn on the switches sw[1] and sw[4]. The conduction of the switch sw[1] electrically connects the data line Sr[1] to the current source Isrc[1], and the conduction of the switch sw[4] electrically connects the data line Sr[2] to the current source Isrc[4]. Therefore, during the period from t1 to t2, the brightness of the light-emitting diode LED in the red light-emitting circuit LCr of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) will be determined by the current source Isrc[1] , The current value of the data current provided by Isrc[4] is determined.

在t1時點至t2時點的像素發光期間Tspr,除閘極控制信號GCr[1]外的閘極控制信號GCg[1]、GCb[1]、GCr[2]、 GCg[2]、GCb[2]、GCr[3]、GCg[3]、GCb[2]均為高位準(H);且除放電選擇信號DSr[1]外的放電選擇信號DSg[1]、DSb[1]、DSr[2]、DSg[2]、DSb[2]、DSr[3]、DSg[3]、DS3[2]均為低位準(L)。據此,可確保僅有像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的紅色發光電路LCr會在t1時點至t2時點的像素發光期間Tspr發光。一即,在t1時點至t2時點的像素發光期間Tspr,像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb,以及像素電路P(1,2)、P(2,2)、P(1,3)、P(3,3)的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb內的電流僅留經旁路電晶體bpTFT,並無電流流經該些發光電路內的發光二極體。 During the pixel light-emitting period Tspr from t1 to t2, the gate control signals GCg[1], GCb[1], GCr[2], except for the gate control signal GCr[1] GCg[2], GCb[2], GCr[3], GCg[3], GCb[2] are all high level (H); and the discharge selection signal DSg[1] except for the discharge selection signal DSr[1] , DSb[1], DSr[2], DSg[2], DSb[2], DSr[3], DSg[3], DS3[2] are all low level (L). Accordingly, it can be ensured that only the red light-emitting circuit LCr of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) will emit light during the pixel light-emitting period Tspr from time t1 to time t2. First, in the pixel light-emitting period Tspr from t1 to t2, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuit P(1,1), P(2,1), and the pixel circuit P(1,2 ), P(2,2), P(1,3), P(3,3), the current in the red light-emitting circuit LCr, green light-emitting circuit LCg, and blue light-emitting circuit LCb is only left through the bypass transistor bpTFT, No current flows through the light-emitting diodes in these light-emitting circuits.

同理,在t2時點至t3時點的像素發光期間Tspg,僅有像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的綠色發光電路LCg發光;以及,在t3時點至t4時點的像素發光期間Tspb,僅有像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的藍色發光電路LCb發光。因此,可以確保在各個子像素發光期間Tspr、Tspg、Tspg均僅有被選定的發光電路會發光,達到消除鬼影現象的效果。關於第7A圖的其他各個像素電路與第7B圖的其餘發光期間的說明,因與前述說明類似,此處不再詳述。 Similarly, during the pixel light-emitting period Tspg from t2 to t3, only the green light-emitting circuits LCg of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) emit light; and the pixels from t3 to t4 emit light During the period Tspb, only the blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuits P(1,1) and P(2,1) emit light. Therefore, it can be ensured that only the selected light-emitting circuit will emit light during the light-emitting period of each sub-pixel Tspr, Tspg, and Tspg, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating the ghost phenomenon. The description of the other pixel circuits in FIG. 7A and the rest of the light-emitting period in FIG. 7B are similar to the foregoing description, and will not be described in detail here.

請參見第8圖,其係基於第6圖所示的LED顯示面板,進一步搭配解多工器(demultiplexer)控制之示意圖。第8圖的顯示面板的架構與第6圖相似,兩者的差異在於,在行控制器中的電流源的個數與開關的個數。在此圖式中,同一行的像素電路均連接於同一個開關sw與電流源Isrc。即,對同樣位於第一行的像素電路P(1,1)、P(1,2)、P(3,1)而言,其紅色發光電路LCr經由資料線Sr[1]連接至開關swG1、綠色發光電路LCg經由資料 線Sg[1]連接至開關swG1、藍色發光電路LCb經由資料線Sb[1]連接至開關swG1;且,對同樣位於第二行的像素電路P(2,1)、P(2,2)、P(2,1)而言,其紅色發光電路LCr經由資料線Sr[2]連接至開關swG2、綠色發光電路LCg經由資料線Sg[2]連接至開關swG2、藍色發光電路LCb經由資料線Sb[2]連接至開關swG2。其中,開關swG1由行致能信號SenG1控制,而開關swG2由行致能信號SenG2控制。開關swG1因高位準(H)的行致能信號SenG1而導通時,資料線Sr[1]、Sg[1]、Sb[1]將同時電連接於電流源IsrcG1;以及,開關swG2因高位準(H)的行致能信號SenG2而導通時,資料線Sr[2]、Sg[2]、Sb[2]將同時電連接於電流源IsrcG1。 Please refer to Fig. 8, which is based on the LED display panel shown in Fig. 6, and is further controlled by a demultiplexer. The structure of the display panel in Fig. 8 is similar to that in Fig. 6. The difference between the two is the number of current sources and the number of switches in the row controller. In this figure, the pixel circuits in the same row are all connected to the same switch sw and current source Isrc. That is, for the pixel circuits P(1,1), P(1,2), P(3,1) also located in the first row, the red light-emitting circuit LCr is connected to the switch swG1 via the data line Sr[1] , Green light-emitting circuit LCg through the data The line Sg[1] is connected to the switch swG1, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb is connected to the switch swG1 via the data line Sb[1]; ), P(2,1), the red light-emitting circuit LCr is connected to the switch swG2 via the data line Sr[2], the green light-emitting circuit LCg is connected to the switch swG2 via the data line Sg[2], and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb is connected via The data line Sb[2] is connected to the switch swG2. Among them, the switch swG1 is controlled by the horizontal enable signal SenG1, and the switch swG2 is controlled by the horizontal enable signal SenG2.

第9圖的橫軸為時間,其中並標示t1時點至t10時點。由於第6圖與第8圖的架構相似,故在第9圖與第7圖中,有部分的波形相似。例如:列供應電壓Vdd[1]、Vdd[2]、Vdd[3];與第一列的紅色選擇電路SCr、綠色選擇電路SCg、藍色選擇電路SCb分別相連的閘極控制線GCr[1]、GCg[1]、GCb[1];與第二列的紅色選擇電路SCr、綠色選擇電路SCg、藍色選擇電路SCb分別相連的閘極控制線GCr[2]、GCg[2]、GCb[2];與第三列的選擇電路紅色SCr、綠色選擇電路SCg、藍色選擇電路SCb分別相連的閘極控制線GCr[3]、GCg[3]、GCb[3];與第一列的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別相連的放電選擇線DSr[1]、DSg[1]、DSb[1];與第二列的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別相連放電選擇線DSr[2]、DSg[2]、DSb[2];與第三列的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別相連的放電選擇線DSr[3]、DSg[3]、DSb[3]的變化方式均相似。 The horizontal axis in Figure 9 is time, and t1 to t10 are also marked. Since the architectures in Figure 6 and Figure 8 are similar, there are some similar waveforms in Figures 9 and 7. For example: column supply voltages Vdd[1], Vdd[2], Vdd[3]; gate control lines GCr[1 respectively connected to the red selection circuit SCr, green selection circuit SCg, and blue selection circuit SCb of the first column ], GCg[1], GCb[1]; the gate control lines GCr[2], GCg[2], GCb respectively connected to the red selection circuit SCr, the green selection circuit SCg, and the blue selection circuit SCb in the second column [2]; The gate control lines GCr[3], GCg[3], GCb[3] connected to the selection circuit red SCr, green selection circuit SCg, and blue selection circuit SCb of the third column respectively; and the first column The discharge selection lines DSr[1], DSg[1], DSb[1] connected to the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb respectively; and the red light-emitting circuit LCr and the green light-emitting circuit in the second column LCg and blue light-emitting circuit LCb are respectively connected to discharge selection lines DSr[2], DSg[2], DSb[2]; respectively connected to the red light-emitting circuit LCr, green light-emitting circuit LCg, and blue light-emitting circuit LCb in the third column The change modes of the discharge selection lines DSr[3], DSg[3], DSb[3] are all similar.

另一方面,第9圖與第7圖所示之波形的差異處為,行致能信號SenG1、SenG2的波形。在第7圖中,各行的子像素彼此獨立,因此使用六個彼此平行的行致能信號Senr[1]、Seng[1]、Senb[1]、Senr[2]、Seng[2]、Senb[2]。在第9圖中,每一個行致能信號SenG同時對應於分屬三行的子像素。 On the other hand, the difference between the waveforms shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 7 is the waveforms of the line enable signals SenG1 and SenG2. In Figure 7, the sub-pixels of each row are independent of each other, so six parallel row enable signals Senr[1], Seng[1], Senb[1], Senr[2], Seng[2], Senb are used. [2]. In Figure 9, each row enable signal SenG corresponds to the sub-pixels belonging to three rows at the same time.

行致能信號SenG1在t1時點t2時點的期間為高位準(H),使得資料電流由列供應電壓Vdd[1]流出後,先陸續流經像素電路P(1,1)的紅色選擇電路SCr與紅色發光電路LCr後,再經由資料線Sr[1]與開關swG1流至電流源IsrcG1。行致能信號SenG1在t2時點至t3時點的期間為高位準(H),使資料電流由列供應電壓Vdd[1]流出後,先陸續流經像素電路P(1,1)的紅色選擇電路SCr與紅色發光電路LCr後,再經由資料線Sg[1]與開關swG1流至電流源IsrcG1。行致能信號SenG1在t3時點至t4時點的期間為高位準(H),使資料電流由列供應電壓Vdd[1]流出後,先陸續流經像素電路P(1,1)的藍色選擇電路SCb與藍色發光電路LCb後,再經由資料線Sb[1]與開關swG1流至電流源IsrcG1。 The row enable signal SenG1 is at a high level (H) at time t1 and t2, so that the data current flows from the column supply voltage Vdd[1] and then flows through the red selection circuit SCr of the pixel circuit P(1,1). After connecting with the red light-emitting circuit LCr, it flows to the current source IsrcG1 through the data line Sr[1] and the switch swG1. The row enable signal SenG1 is at a high level (H) from t2 to t3, so that the data current flows from the column supply voltage Vdd[1] and then flows through the red selection circuit of the pixel circuit P(1,1). After SCr and the red light-emitting circuit LCr, they then flow to the current source IsrcG1 via the data line Sg[1] and the switch swG1.

After connecting with the red light-emitting circuit LCr, it then flows to the current source IsrcG2 through the data line Sr[2] and the switch swG2. The row enable signal SenG2 is at a high level (H) from t2 to t3, so that the data current flows from the column supply voltage Vdd[2], and then flows through the red selection circuit of the pixel circuit P(2,1). After SCr and the red light-emitting circuit LCr, they flow to the current source IsrcG2 via the data line Sg[2] and the switch swG1. The row enable signal SenG2 is at a high level (H) from t3 to t4, so that after the data current flows from the column supply voltage Vdd[1], it first flows through the blue selection of the pixel circuit P(2,1) After the circuit SCb and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb, they flow to the current source IsrcG2 via the data line Sb[2] and the switch swG2.

承上所述,行致能信號SenG1、SenG2在t1時點至t4時點的期間均維持在高位準(H)。其中,行致能信號SenG1用於使像素電路P(1,1)的發光元件LCr在t1時點至t2時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG1提 供的資料電流而發光;使像素電路P(1,1)的綠色發光電路LCg在t2時點至t3時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG1提供的資料電流而發光;以及,使像素電路P(1,1)的藍色發光電路LCb在t3時點至t4時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG1提供的資料電流而發光。且,行致能信號SenG2用於使像素電路P(2,1)的發光元件LCr在t1時點至t2時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG2提供的資料電流而發光;使像素電路P(2,1)的綠色發光電路LCg在t2時點至t3時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG2提供的資料電流而發光;以及,使像素電路P(2,1)的藍色發光電路LCb在t3時點至t4時點的期間根據電流源IsrcG2提供的資料電流而發光。 As mentioned above, the horizontal enable signals SenG1 and SenG2 are maintained at the high level (H) from the time t1 to the time t4. Among them, the line enable signal SenG1 is used to enable the light-emitting element LCr of the pixel circuit P(1,1) to be raised according to the current source IsrcG1 during the period from t1 to t2. The green light-emitting circuit LCg of the pixel circuit P(1,1) emits light according to the data current provided by the current source IsrcG1 during the period from t2 to t3; and, the pixel circuit P(1,1) The blue light-emitting circuit LCb of) emits light according to the data current provided by the current source IsrcG1 during the period from time t3 to time t4. In addition, the line enable signal SenG2 is used to make the light-emitting element LCr of the pixel circuit P(2,1) emit light according to the data current provided by the current source IsrcG2 during the period from time t1 to time t2; to make the pixel circuit P(2,1) The green light-emitting circuit LCg emits light according to the data current provided by the current source IsrcG2 during the period from t2 to t3; and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuit P(2,1) is made to emit light during the period from t3 to t4 The current source IsrcG2 provides the data current and emits light.

同理,行致能信號SenG1、SenG2在t4時點至t7時點的列發光期間Tr[2]亦須維持在高位準(H)。行致能信號SenG1在列發光期間Tr[2]維持在高位準(H),可使像素電路P(1,2)的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別在t4時點至t5時點、t5時點至t6時點、t6時點至t7時點的期間與電流源IsrcG1導通;行致能信號SenG2在列發光期間Tr[3]維持在高位準(H),可使像素電路P(2,2)的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別在t4時點至t5時點、t5時點至t6時點、t6時點至t7時點的期間與電流源IsrcG2導通。 Similarly, the row enable signals SenG1 and SenG2 must be maintained at the high level (H) during the column light-emitting period Tr[2] from t4 to t7. The row enable signal SenG1 is maintained at a high level (H) during the column light-emitting period Tr[2], so that the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuit P(1,2) are respectively at t4 From time to t5, from t5 to t6, and from t6 to t7, the current source IsrcG1 is turned on; the row enable signal SenG2 is maintained at a high level (H) during the column light-emitting period Tr[3], which enables the pixel circuit P The red light-emitting circuit LCr, green light-emitting circuit LCg, and blue light-emitting circuit LCb of (2, 2) are respectively conducted with the current source IsrcG2 during the periods from t4 to t5, t5 to t6, and t6 to t7.

此外,行致能信號SenG1、SenG2在t7時點t10時點的列發光期間Tr[3]亦須維持在高位準(H)。行致能信號SenG1在列發光期間Tr[3]維持在高位準,可使像素電路P(1,3)的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別在t7時點至t8時點、t8時點至t9時點、t9時點至t10時點的期間與電流源IsrcG1導通;行致能信號SenG2在列發光期間Tr[3]維持在高位準(H),可使像素電路P(2,3)的 紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb分別在t7時點至t8時點、t8時點至t9時點、t9時點至t10時點的期間與電流源IsrcG2導通。 In addition, the row enable signals SenG1 and SenG2 must also be maintained at a high level (H) during the column light-emitting period Tr[3] at time t7 and t10. The row enable signal SenG1 is maintained at a high level during the column light-emitting period Tr[3], so that the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb of the pixel circuit P(1,3) can be respectively from t7 to t8 At time, from t8 to t9, and from t9 to t10, the current source IsrcG1 is turned on; the row enable signal SenG2 is maintained at the high level (H) during the column light-emitting period Tr[3], so that the pixel circuit P(2, 3) The red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light-emitting circuit LCb are respectively conducted with the current source IsrcG2 during the periods from t7 to t8, t8 to t9, and t9 to t10.

根據前述說明可以得知,在第9圖中,行致能信號SenG1、SenG2在t1時點至t10時點的期間均需維持在高位準(H)。這是因為在第8圖中,開關swG1同時與資料線Sr[1]、Sg[1]、Sb[1]相連,而開關swG2同時與資料線Sr[2]、Sg[2]、Sb[2]相連的緣故。 According to the foregoing description, in Figure 9, the line enable signals SenG1 and SenG2 need to be maintained at a high level (H) from time t1 to time t10. This is because in Figure 8, the switch swG1 is connected to the data lines Sr[1], Sg[1], Sb[1] at the same time, and the switch swG2 is connected to the data lines Sr[2], Sg[2], Sb[ 2] Connected sake.

請參見第10A、10B圖,其係將本案的LED顯示面板搭配微驅動電路使用之示意圖。由於本案可使用薄膜電晶體作為選擇電晶體selTFT與旁路電晶體bpTFT,因此,採用本案設計的LED顯示面板可搭配陣列基板行驅動技術(Gate driver on array,簡稱為GOA)與微驅動電路的架構使用。在第10A圖中,假設行控制器為微驅動電路21,而列控制器採用GOA 22。 Please refer to Figures 10A and 10B, which are schematic diagrams of using the LED display panel in this case with a micro-drive circuit. Since thin film transistors can be used as the selective transistor selTFT and bypass transistor bpTFT in this case, the LED display panel designed in this case can be used with the gate driver on array (GOA) and micro-drive circuit. Architecture use. In Figure 10A, it is assumed that the row controller is the micro-drive circuit 21, and the column controller uses the GOA 22.

在第10B圖中,假設顯示裝置包含多個顯示面板31。每個顯示面板31包含TFT陣列33、LED陣列35、微驅動電路37與內部的GOA39。另,顯示裝置另提供一外部的GOA 32,由多個顯示面板31共用。由第10B圖可以看出,採用本架構的LED顯示面板可以進一步以模組化的方式排列為陣列。因此,此種架構相當適合用於控制中型、大型的LED顯示面板。 In FIG. 10B, it is assumed that the display device includes a plurality of display panels 31. Each display panel 31 includes a TFT array 33, an LED array 35, a micro-drive circuit 37 and an internal GOA 39. In addition, the display device also provides an external GOA 32, which is shared by multiple display panels 31. It can be seen from FIG. 10B that the LED display panel adopting this architecture can be further arranged in an array in a modular manner. Therefore, this architecture is quite suitable for controlling medium and large LED display panels.

請參見第11圖,其係依照本揭露的另一種LED顯示面板的實施例之示意圖。在此圖式中,顯示面板的架構大致類似第6圖。兩者的差異在於,在第6圖中,每個子像素SP(m,n)均包含一個選 擇電路電SC與一個發光電路LC。另一方面,在第11圖中,位於同一列的子像素共用同一個選擇電路SC[n](n=1,2,3)。據此,在第11圖中,位於同一列的紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb將共用同一個與列供應電壓Vdd[n](n=1,2,3)相連的選擇電晶體selTFT。為簡化說明,此處以表格方式彙整第11圖各列的元件,以及與該些元件相關的控制信號。 Please refer to FIG. 11, which is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of an LED display panel according to the present disclosure. In this figure, the structure of the display panel is roughly similar to that of Fig. 6. The difference between the two is that, in Figure 6, each sub-pixel SP (m, n) contains a selection Selection circuit SC and a light-emitting circuit LC. On the other hand, in Fig. 11, the sub-pixels located in the same column share the same selection circuit SC[n] (n=1, 2, 3). Accordingly, in Figure 11, the red light-emitting circuit LCr, green light-emitting circuit LCg, and blue light-emitting circuit LCb located in the same column will share the same one and be connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n](n=1,2,3) The choice of transistor selTFT.

為便於說明,本文將第11圖的像素分為兩類,第一類為連接至列供應電壓Vdd[n]的像素電路(例如,像素電路P(1,1)、P(1,2)、P(1,3)),第二類為未連接至列供應電壓Vdd[n]的像素電路(例如,像素電路P(2,1)、P(2,2)、P(2,3))。另請留意,實際應用時,並不需要限定必須是在第一行的像素方連接至列供應電壓Vdd[n]。亦即,可任選其中一行的像素電路(例如,選擇x=5)連接至列供應電壓Vdd[n];或 者,將列供應電壓Vdd[n]連接至在不同列中不同行的像素電路(例如,在第一列選擇x=7、在第二列選擇x=3的像素電路)。總之,在同一列的多個像素電路中,需有一個像素電路連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n],其餘的像素電路則不須連接至列供應電壓Vdd[n]。 For ease of description, this article divides the pixels in Figure 11 into two categories. The first category is the pixel circuits connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] (for example, pixel circuits P(1,1), P(1,2)). , P(1,3)), the second category is pixel circuits that are not connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] (for example, pixel circuits P(2,1), P(2,2), P(2,3) )). Please also note that in practical applications, it is not necessary to limit the connection to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] on the pixel side of the first row. That is, one row of pixel circuits can be optionally connected (for example, x=5) to be connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n]; or Alternatively, the column supply voltage Vdd[n] is connected to pixel circuits in different rows in different columns (for example, pixel circuits with x=7 in the first column and x=3 in the second column are selected). In short, among multiple pixel circuits in the same column, one pixel circuit needs to be connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n], and the remaining pixel circuits do not need to be connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n].

為便於說明,本文將連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]的像素電路定義為複合型像素電路;以及,將未連接於列供應電壓Vdd[n]的像素電路定義為受控型像素電路。接著,利用第12、13、14A、14B、14C、14D圖,說明複合型像素電路的內部架構與其操作方式;以及,利用第15、16、17A、17B、17D圖,說明受控型像素電路的內部架構與其操作方式。 For ease of description, this article defines a pixel circuit connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] as a composite pixel circuit; and defines a pixel circuit not connected to the column supply voltage Vdd[n] as a controlled pixel circuit. Next, use Figures 12, 13, 14A, 14B, 14C, and 14D to illustrate the internal structure and operation of the composite pixel circuit; and use Figures 15, 16, 17A, 17B, and 17D to illustrate the controlled pixel circuit The internal structure of the company and how it operates.

請參見第12圖,其係第11圖所示之LED顯示面板中的複合型像素電路P(x,n)的內部架構之示意圖。在第11圖中,受控型像素電路包含:像素電路P(1,1)、P(1,2)、P(1,3)。由於在第11圖中,假設複合型像素電路均位於第一行,因此以P(x,n)(x=1,且n=1~N)表示。 Please refer to FIG. 12, which is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the composite pixel circuit P(x, n) in the LED display panel shown in FIG. 11.

請參見第14A、14B、14C、14D圖,其係第12圖的像素電路P(x,n)因應時序控制器的控制與選擇而運作與相關的電流流向之示意圖。 Please refer to Figs. 14A, 14B, 14C, and 14D, which are schematic diagrams of the operation of the pixel circuit P(x, n) in Fig. 12 in response to the control and selection of the timing controller and the related current flow.

第14A圖對應於第12圖的複合型像素電路P(x,n)在第13圖的ta時點前或td時點之後的狀態。在ta時點之前或td時點之後,閘極控制信號GC[n]為高位準(H)。因此,選擇電晶體selTFT因閘極接收到高位準(H)的緣故而關閉(斷開)。因此,分支電壓Vbr為低位準(L)。在此同時,放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]、DS[n]亦為低位準(L)。因此,紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb內的發光二極體LEDr、LEDg、LEDb與旁路電晶體bpTFTr、bpTFTg、bpTFTb均為斷開。據此,紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LEDr、綠色發光 電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg與藍色發光電路LCb中的發光二極體LEDb均不會發光。 Fig. 14A corresponds to the state of the composite pixel circuit P(x, n) in Fig. 12 before the time ta or after the time td in Fig. 13. Before the ta time point or after the td time point, the gate control signal GC[n] is at a high level (H). Therefore, the selective transistor selTFT is turned off (disconnected) because the gate receives the high level (H). Therefore, the branch voltage Vbr is at a low level (L). At the same time, the discharge selection signals DSr[n], DSg[n], DS[n] are also low level (L). Therefore, the light emitting diodes LEDr, LEDg, and LEDb in the red light emitting circuit LCr, the green light emitting circuit LCg, and the blue light emitting circuit LCb and the bypass transistors bpTFTr, bpTFTg, and bpTFTb are all disconnected. Accordingly, the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the green light-emitting Neither the light-emitting diode LEDg in the circuit LCg nor the light-emitting diode LEDb in the blue light-emitting circuit LCb emits light.

在ta時點至td時點期間,閘極控制信號GC[n]為低位準(L)。因此,選擇電晶體selTFT因閘極接收到低位準(L)的緣故而導通,且資料電流ip自列供應電壓Vdd[n]流經選擇電晶體selTFT至分支節點Nbr。因此,分支電壓Vbr為高位準(H)。在ta時點至td時點這段期間,紅色發光電路LCr內的發光二極體LEDr、綠色發光電路LCg內的發光二極體LEDg、藍色發光電路LCb內的發光二極體LEDb將分別在ta時點至tb時點的期間(子像素發光期間Tspr)、tb時點至tc時點的期間(子像素發光期間Tspg),以及tc時點至td時點的期間(子像素發光期間Tspb)輪流發光。 During the period from time ta to time td, the gate control signal GC[n] is at a low level (L). Therefore, the selection transistor selTFT is turned on because the gate receives the low level (L), and the data current ip flows from the column supply voltage Vdd[n] through the selection transistor selTFT to the branch node Nbr. Therefore, the branch voltage Vbr is at a high level (H). During the period from time ta to time td, the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the light-emitting diode LEDg in the green light-emitting circuit LCg, and the light-emitting diode LEDb in the blue light-emitting circuit LCb will be at ta respectively. The period from time tb to time tb (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr), the period from time tb to time tc (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspg), and the period from time tc to time td (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspb) alternately emit light.

第14B圖對應於第12圖的複合型像素電路P(x,n)在第13圖的ta時點至tb時點的子像素發光期間Tspr的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspr,放電選擇信號DSr[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]使旁路電晶體bpTFTr斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTg、bpTFTb導通。 FIG. 14B corresponds to the state of the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr from time ta to time tb in FIG. 13 from the complex pixel circuit P(x, n) in FIG. 12. During the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr, the discharge selection signal DSr[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSg[n] and DSb[n] are at a low level (L). The high-level (H) discharge selection signal DSr[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTr; the low-level (L) discharge selection signal DSg[n], DSb[n] turns on the bypass transistors bpTFTg and bpTFTb, respectively .

在紅色發光電路LCr中,旁路電晶體bpTFTr斷開,且資料電流ispr自分支節點Nbr流經發光二極體LEDr至資料線Sr[x]。因此,發光二極體LEDr在子像素發光期間Tspr將發光,且其亮度依據與資料線Sr[x]相連的電流源所決定。在發光電路LCg中,旁路電晶體bpTFTg導通,且放電電流idg自分支節點Nbr流經旁路電晶體bpTFTg至資料線Sg[x]。此時並無電流流經發光二極體LEDg,因此可確保發光二極體LEDg不會在子像素發光期間Tspr發出光線。同樣的,在藍 色發光電路LCb中,旁路電晶體bpTFTb導通,且放電電流idb自分支節點Nbr流經旁路電晶體bpTFTb至資料線Sb[x]。此時並無電流流經發光二極體LEDb,因此可確保發光二極體LEDb在子像素發光期間Tspr不會發出光線。 In the red light-emitting circuit LCr, the bypass transistor bpTFTr is disconnected, and the data current ispr flows from the branch node Nbr through the light-emitting diode LEDr to the data line Sr[x]. Therefore, the light-emitting diode LEDr emits light during the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr, and its brightness is determined by the current source connected to the data line Sr[x]. In the light-emitting circuit LCg, the bypass transistor bpTFTg is turned on, and the discharge current idg flows from the branch node Nbr through the bypass transistor bpTFTg to the data line Sg[x]. At this time, no current flows through the light-emitting diode LEDg, so it can be ensured that the light-emitting diode LEDg does not emit light during the light-emitting period Tspr of the sub-pixel. The same in blue In the color light emitting circuit LCb, the bypass transistor bpTFTb is turned on, and the discharge current idb flows from the branch node Nbr through the bypass transistor bpTFTb to the data line Sb[x]. At this time, no current flows through the light-emitting diode LEDb, so it can be ensured that the light-emitting diode LEDb does not emit light during the light-emitting period Tspr of the sub-pixel.

第14B圖對應於第12圖的複合型像素電路P(x,n)在第13圖的ta時點至tb時點期間(子像素發光期間Tspr)的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspr,放電選擇信號DSr[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]使旁路電晶體bpTFTr斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTg、bpTFTb導通。據此,紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LEDr將發光,而發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg與發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg並不會發光。 FIG. 14B corresponds to the state of the composite pixel circuit P(x, n) in FIG. 12 during the period from time ta to time tb in FIG. 13 (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr). During the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr, the discharge selection signal DSr[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSg[n] and DSb[n] are at a low level (L). The high-level (H) discharge selection signal DSr[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTr; the low-level (L) discharge selection signal DSg[n], DSb[n] turns on the bypass transistors bpTFTg and bpTFTb, respectively . Accordingly, the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light, but the light-emitting diode LEDg in the light-emitting circuit LCg and the light-emitting diode LEDg in the light-emitting circuit LCg will not emit light.

第14C圖對應於第12圖的複合型像素電路P(x,n)在第13圖的tb時點至tc時點期間(子像素發光期間Tspg)的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspg,放電選擇信號DSg[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSb[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DSg[n]使旁路電晶體bpTFTg斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSb[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTr、bpTFTb導通。據此,發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg將發光,而紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LEDr與藍色發光電路LCb中的發光二極體LEDb並不會發光。 Fig. 14C corresponds to the state of the composite pixel circuit P(x, n) in Fig. 12 from time tb to time tc in Fig. 13 (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspg). During the sub-pixel emission period Tspg, the discharge selection signal DSg[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSb[n] are at a low level (L). The high level (H) discharge selection signal DSg[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTg; the low level (L) discharge selection signal DSr[n], DSb[n] turns on the bypass transistors bpTFTr and bpTFTb respectively . Accordingly, the light emitting diode LEDg in the light emitting circuit LCg will emit light, while the light emitting diode LEDr in the red light emitting circuit LCr and the light emitting diode LEDb in the blue light emitting circuit LCb will not emit light.

第14D圖對應於第12圖的複合型像素電路P(x,n)在第13圖的tc時點至td時點期間(子像素發光期間Tspb)的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspb,放電選擇信號DSb[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DSb[n]使旁 路電晶體bpTFTb斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTr、bpTFTg導通。據此,藍色發光電路LCb的發光二極體LEDb將發光,而紅色發光電路LCr的發光二極體LEDr與發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg並不會發光。 FIG. 14D corresponds to the state of the composite pixel circuit P(x, n) in FIG. 12 during the period from time tc to time td in FIG. 13 (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspb). During the sub-pixel emission period Tspb, the discharge selection signal DSb[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSg[n] are at a low level (L). The high-level (H) discharge selection signal DSb[n] makes the side The circuit transistor bpTFTb is disconnected; the low-level (L) discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSg[n] respectively turn on the bypass transistors bpTFTr and bpTFTg. Accordingly, the light emitting diode LEDb of the blue light emitting circuit LCb will emit light, while the light emitting diode LEDr of the red light emitting circuit LCr and the light emitting diode LEDg of the light emitting circuit LCg will not emit light.

請參見第17A、17B、17C、17D圖,其係第15圖的像素電路P(x,n)因應時序控制器的控制與選擇而運作與相關的電流流向之示意圖。 Please refer to Figures 17A, 17B, 17C, and 17D, which are schematic diagrams of the operation of the pixel circuit P(x, n) in Figure 15 in response to the control and selection of the timing controller and the related current flow.

第17A圖對應於第15圖的受控型像素電路P(x,n)(x=2~M/3)在第16圖的ta時點前或td時點之後的狀態。在ta時點前或td時點後,分支電壓Vbr為低位準(L)。在此同時,放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]、DSb[n]亦為低位準(L)。因此,紅色發光電路LCr、綠色發光電路LCg、藍色發光電路LCb內的發光二極體LEDr、LEDg、LEDb均未發光,且旁路電晶體bpTFTr、bpTFTg、bpTFTb均為斷開。 Fig. 17A corresponds to the state of the controlled pixel circuit P(x,n) (x=2~M/3) in Fig. 15 before the time ta or after the time td in Fig. 16. Before the ta time point or after the td time point, the branch voltage Vbr is at a low level (L). At the same time, the discharge selection signals DSr[n], DSg[n], DSb[n] are also low level (L). Therefore, the light-emitting diodes LEDr, LEDg, and LEDb in the red light-emitting circuit LCr, green light-emitting circuit LCg, and blue light-emitting circuit LCb do not emit light, and the bypass transistors bpTFTr, bpTFTg, and bpTFTb are all off.

第17B圖對應於第15圖的受控型像素電路P(x,n)(x=2~M/3)在第16圖的ta時點至tb時點期間(子像素發光期間Tspr)的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspr,放電選擇信號DSr[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]使旁路電晶體bpTFTr斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSg[n]、DSb[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTg、bpTFTb導通。據此,紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LEDr將發光,而發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg與發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg並不會發光。 Fig. 17B corresponds to the state of the controlled pixel circuit P(x,n) (x=2~M/3) in Fig. 15 from the time ta to the time tb in Fig. 16 (the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr). During the sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspr, the discharge selection signal DSr[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSg[n] and DSb[n] are at a low level (L). The high-level (H) discharge selection signal DSr[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTr; the low-level (L) discharge selection signal DSg[n], DSb[n] turns on the bypass transistors bpTFTg and bpTFTb, respectively . Accordingly, the light-emitting diode LEDr in the red light-emitting circuit LCr will emit light, but the light-emitting diode LEDg in the light-emitting circuit LCg and the light-emitting diode LEDg in the light-emitting circuit LCg will not emit light.

During the sub-pixel emission period Tspg, the discharge selection signal DSg[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSb[n] are at a low level (L). The high level (H) discharge selection signal DSg[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTg; the low level (L) discharge selection signal DSr[n], DSb[n] turns on the bypass transistors bpTFTr and bpTFTb respectively . Accordingly, the light emitting diode LEDg in the light emitting circuit LCg will emit light, while the light emitting diode LEDr in the red light emitting circuit LCr and the light emitting diode LEDb in the blue light emitting circuit LCb will not emit light.

第17D圖對應於第15圖的受控型像素電路P(x,n)(x=2~M/3)在第16圖的tc時點至td時點期間(子像素發光期間Tspb)的狀態。在子像素發光期間Tspb,放電選擇信號DSb[n]為高位準(H),而放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]為低位準(L)。高位準(H)的放電選擇 信號DSb[n]使旁路電晶體bpTFTb斷開;低位準(L)的放電選擇信號DSr[n]、DSg[n]分別使旁路電晶體bpTFTr、bpTFTg導通。據此,藍色發光電路LCb中的發光二極體LEDb將發光,而紅色發光電路LCr中的發光二極體LEDr與發光電路LCg中的發光二極體LEDg並不會發光。 Fig. 17D corresponds to the state of the controlled pixel circuit P(x,n) (x=2~M/3) in Fig. 15 from time tc to time td in Fig. 16 (sub-pixel light-emitting period Tspb). During the sub-pixel emission period Tspb, the discharge selection signal DSb[n] is at a high level (H), and the discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSg[n] are at a low level (L). High level (H) discharge selection The signal DSb[n] turns off the bypass transistor bpTFTb; the low-level (L) discharge selection signals DSr[n] and DSg[n] turn on the bypass transistors bpTFTr and bpTFTg respectively. Accordingly, the light emitting diode LEDb in the blue light emitting circuit LCb will emit light, while the light emitting diode LEDr in the red light emitting circuit LCr and the light emitting diode LEDg in the light emitting circuit LCg will not emit light.

請參見第18圖,其係控制第11圖所示之LED顯示面板的波形圖。請同時參看第11圖與第18圖。第18圖的橫軸為時間,其中並以t1時點至t10時點代表不同的時點。t1時點至t4時點對應於像素電路P(1,1)、P(2,1)的像素顯示期間;t4時點至t7時點對應於像素電路P(2,1)、P(2,2)的像素顯示期間;t7時點至t10時點對應於像素電路P(1,3)、P(2,3)的像素顯示期間。 Please refer to Figure 18, which is a waveform diagram for controlling the LED display panel shown in Figure 11. Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 18 at the same time. The horizontal axis in Figure 18 is time, and time t1 to time t10 are used to represent different time points.

由於列供應電壓Vdd[1]、Vdd[2]、Vdd[3]直接連接至發光二極體電壓VLED的緣故,列供應電壓Vdd[1]、Vdd[2]、Vdd[3]的電壓不因時點的不同而改變。關於各個像素電路如何因應相關的控制信號而呈現的不同的狀態,分別與第14A~14D、17A~17D圖相似。以下,以表11彙整各個像素電路在不同期間的狀態。 Because the column supply voltages Vdd[1], Vdd[2], Vdd[3] are directly connected to the light-emitting diode voltage V LED , the column supply voltages Vdd[1], Vdd[2], Vdd[3] are Does not change due to different time points. Regarding how each pixel circuit presents different states in response to related control signals, it is similar to Figures 14A to 14D and 17A to 17D, respectively.

根據前述說明可以得知,本案的實施例改變發光電路LC的設計。發光電路LC包含發光二極體LED與旁路電晶體bpTFT。當發光電路LC被選取而發光時,資料電流isp流經發光二極體LED;當發光電路LC未被選取時,放電電流id將流經旁路電晶體bpTFT。此外,根據實施例的不同,可能針對每個發光電路LC設置相對應的選擇電路SC。或者,同列的發光電路LC可共用一個選擇電路SC[n]。其中,選擇電路SC內的選擇電晶體selTFT由閘極控制信號GC控制,與發光電路LC內的旁路電晶體bpTFT由放電選擇信號DS控制。此外,閘極控制信號GC與放電選擇信號DS之間的位準維持反向。 According to the foregoing description, the embodiment of this case changes the design of the light-emitting circuit LC. The light-emitting circuit LC includes a light-emitting diode LED and a bypass transistor bpTFT. When the light-emitting circuit LC is selected to emit light, the data current isp flows through the light-emitting diode LED; when the light-emitting circuit LC is not selected, the discharge current id will flow through the bypass transistor bpTFT. In addition, depending on the embodiment, a corresponding selection circuit SC may be provided for each light-emitting circuit LC. Alternatively, the light-emitting circuits LC in the same column can share one selection circuit SC[n]. Among them, the selection transistor selTFT in the selection circuit SC is controlled by the gate control signal GC, and the bypass transistor bpTFT in the light-emitting circuit LC is controlled by the discharge selection signal DS. In addition, the level between the gate control signal GC and the discharge selection signal DS remains reversed.

當LED顯示面板採用前述架構時,由於發光電路同時設有發光二極體LED與旁路電晶體bpTFT的緣故,旁路電晶體bpTFT能在發光二極體LED未被選取時,使發光二極體LED兩端的壓差維持小於順向電壓Vf。因此,因此,發光電路LC僅在確實被選取要發光的時候才會發光,進而避免鬼影現象產生。 When the LED display panel adopts the aforementioned structure, because the light-emitting circuit is equipped with both the light-emitting diode LED and the bypass transistor bpTFT, the bypass transistor bpTFT can make the light-emitting diode when the light-emitting diode LED is not selected. The voltage difference between the two ends of the bulk LED is maintained to be less than the forward voltage Vf. Therefore, therefore, the light-emitting circuit LC will only emit light when it is indeed selected to emit light, thereby avoiding ghosting.

綜上所述,雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾。因此,本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
