Description
本揭露是有關於發光二極體的畫素驅動電路。This disclosure relates to a pixel driving circuit for light-emitting diodes.
目前發光二極體已經廣泛地應用於各類型的顯示器當中。發光二極體發光時的亮度與其驅動電流的大小有關,而其驅動電流的大小係由驅動電晶體來控制。然而,因為製程的變異會造成顯示器中的每個畫素的驅動電晶體的臨界電壓(threshold voltage,Vth)不盡相同,如此一來將會使得不同畫素之中的發光二極體具有不同的驅動電流而使每個發光二極體的亮度不一,進而造成顯示器在顯示畫面的時候會有亮度不均勻的問題。此外,驅動電流示由操作電壓所提供,而操作電壓容易因為傳遞路徑中的線阻產生壓降,使得每個畫素的操作電壓不同,使驅動電流產生誤差。At present, light-emitting diodes have been widely used in various types of displays. The brightness of the light-emitting diode when it emits light is related to the size of its driving current, and the size of its driving current is controlled by the driving transistor. However, because of the variation of the manufacturing process, the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistor of each pixel in the display will be different, which will cause the light-emitting diodes in different pixels to have different values. The driving current causes the brightness of each light-emitting diode to be different, which in turn causes the problem of uneven brightness when the display displays pictures. In addition, the drive current is provided by the operating voltage, and the operating voltage is prone to a voltage drop due to the line resistance in the transmission path, which makes the operating voltage of each pixel different and causes errors in the drive current.
因此,如何針對顯示器畫素之驅動電晶體的臨界電壓做補償,並也對操作電壓做補償,是本領域的技術人員所致力研究的目標。Therefore, how to compensate for the critical voltage of the driving transistor of the display pixel and also compensate for the operating voltage is the goal of the research by those skilled in the art.

間230-2發光單元110為導通並發光。第一子期間230-1及第二子期間230-2的長度是由資料電壓VDATA所決定。換言之,在此實施例中是以脈寬調變(pulse width modulation,PWM)的方式來驅動發光單元110,藉此決定像素的亮度。具體來說,在第三期間230內,控制訊號S1、控制訊號S2及控制訊號EM為低準位VGL,控制訊號Vsweep由高準位Vsweep_H逐漸地降低至低準位Vsweep_L。
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the switching of the pixel driving circuit in the first sub-period in the third period according to an embodiment. 2 and 5, the
在第一子期間230-1內,開關T11處於導通狀態內,開關T1~T3、T5~T10、T12處於截止狀態。節點A的電位不變,維持在Vref+VTH_T4。節點B與節點C的電位相同於二極體電壓VLED。節點D的電位相同於控制訊號Vsweep。節點E的電位相同於VDATA+|VTH_T8|。節點D的電位會逐漸地下降,直到以下數學式1成立時開關T8切換為導通狀態,然後會進入第二子期間230-2。
In the first sub-period 230-1, the switch T11 is in the on state, and the switches T1 to T3, T5 to T10, and T12 are in the off state. The potential of the node A does not change and remains at V ref +V TH_T4 . The potentials of the node B and the node C are the same as the diode voltage V LED . The potential of the node D is the same as the control signal V sweep . The potential of node E is the same as V DATA +|V TH_T8 |. The potential of the node D will gradually decrease until the switch T8 is switched to the on state when the following
其中VE表示節點E的電位,VD表示節點D的電位。由於開關T8的臨界電壓自我補償,因此上述數學式1的成立條件並不受開關T8的臨界電壓所影響。當資料電壓VDATA越大時,數學式1越早成立,也就越早進入第二子期間230-2。
Where V E represents the potential of node E, and V D represents the potential of node D. Since the threshold voltage of the switch T8 is self-compensating, the above-mentioned
圖6是根據一實施例繪示在第三期間內第二子期間的畫素驅動電路的開關示意圖。請參照圖2與圖6,在第二子期間230-2內,開關T1、T5、T8、T11處於導通狀態內,開關T2、T3、T6、T7、T9、T10、T12處於截止狀態。在此期間,節點E與節點C的電位相同於VDATA+|VTH_T8|,此電位會導通開關T5,這使得節點B的電位為操作電壓VSS。節點B的電位從第一子期間230-1的VLED改變至VSS,其變化量為VSS-VLED,因此節點A的電位會從Vref+VTH_T4改變為Vref+VTH_T4+VSS-VLED,此電位會導通開關T1產生電流ILED,此電流ILED流經發光單元110與開關T1,電流ILED的大小如以下數學式2所示。
6 is a schematic diagram showing the switching of the pixel driving circuit in the second sub-period in the third period according to an embodiment. 2 and 6, in the second sub-period 230-2, the switches T1, T5, T8, and T11 are in the on state, and the switches T2, T3, T6, T7, T9, T10, and T12 are in the off state. During this period, the potentials of the node E and the node C are the same as V DATA +|V TH_T8 |, this potential will turn on the switch T5, which makes the potential of the node B the operating voltage VSS. The potential of node B changes from V LED in the first sub-period 230-1 to VSS, and the amount of change is VSS-V LED . Therefore, the potential of node A changes from V ref +V TH_T4 to V ref +V TH_T4 +VSS- V LED , this potential will turn on the switch T1 to generate a current I LED , this current I LED flows through the light-emitting
其中K為常數,VA為節點A的電位,VTH_T1為開關T1的臨界電壓。值得注意的是,由於開關T1的臨界電壓匹配至開關T4的臨界電壓,因此在數學式2中兩個臨界電壓V TH_T4、V TH_T1相互抵銷,電流ILED的大小已經不受臨界電壓VTH_T1的影響。此外,由於在數學式2補償了操作電壓VSS,因此電流ILED的大小也不受操作電壓VSS的影響。在習知技術中驅動電流經過了兩個以上的開關,當電流較大時會產生壓降使得開關可能進入線性區,
增加操作電壓VDD、VSS之間的跨壓可以解決此問題,但卻提高了功率消耗。相較之下,電流ILED只會流經一個開關T1,因此具有減少功率消耗的功效。
Where K is a constant, V A is the potential of node A, and V TH_T1 is the threshold voltage of switch T1. It is worth noting that since the threshold voltage of switch T1 matches the threshold voltage of switch T4, the two threshold voltages V TH_T 4 and V TH_T 1 cancel each other out in Mathematical formula 2, and the current I LED is no longer affected by the threshold voltage. The influence of V TH_T1. In addition, since the operating voltage VSS is compensated in
圖7是根據一實施例繪示在第四期間內畫素驅動電路的開關示意圖。請參照圖2與圖7,第四期間240是用以關閉發光單元110。在第四期間240內,控制訊號S1及控制訊號S2為低準位VGL,控制訊號EM為高準位VGH,控制訊號Vsweep為高準位Vsweep_H。因此,開關T6、T7處於導通狀態,開關T1、T2、T3、T5、T8~T12處於截止狀態。在此期間,節點B與節點C的電位為二極體電壓VLED。節點B的電位從第二子期間230-2的VSS改變為第四期間240的VLED,其變化量為VLED-VSS,因此節點A的電位從此期間230-2的Vref+VTH_T4+VSS-VLED改變為Vref+VTH_T4。節點D的電位相同於控制訊號Vsweep。節點E的電位相同於VDATA+|VTH_T8|。
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the switching of the pixel driving circuit in the fourth period according to an embodiment. 2 and FIG. 7, the
