When the first terminal of one of the transistors is the drain terminal (source terminal), the second terminal of the transistor is the source terminal (drain terminal). In addition, the aforementioned capacitors also have a first end and a second end, respectively.

第一P型電晶體TP1的第一端電性耦接第二P型電晶體TP2的第二端,第一P型電晶體TP1的第二端電性耦接第三P型電晶體TP3的第一端,第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端電性耦接節點A。節點B在第一P型電晶體TP1的第二端以及第三P型電晶體TP3的第二端的連接處。節點C在第三P型電晶體TP3的第二端以及發光元件L1的第一端的連接處。節點D在第一P型電晶體TP1的源極端(第一端)以及第二P型電晶體TP2的第二端的連接處。第三P型電晶體TP3的第一端電性耦接第一P型電晶體TP1的第二端,第三P型電晶體TP3的第二端電性耦接發光元件L1的第一端,第三P型電晶體TP3的閘極端用以接收第三控制訊號EM。The first end of the first P-type transistor TP1 is electrically coupled to the second end of the second P-type transistor TP2, and the second end of the first P-type transistor TP1 is electrically coupled to the third P-type transistor TP3. At the first end, the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 is electrically coupled to the node A. Node B is at the connection between the second end of the first P-type transistor TP1 and the second end of the third P-type transistor TP3. Node C is at the connection between the second end of the third P-type transistor TP3 and the first end of the light emitting element L1. The node D is at the connection between the source terminal (first terminal) of the first P-type transistor TP1 and the second terminal of the second P-type transistor TP2. The first terminal of the third P-type transistor TP3 is electrically coupled to the second terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1, and the second terminal of the third P-type transistor TP3 is electrically coupled to the first terminal of the light-emitting element L1.

流經發光元件L1的驅動電流的大小與第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端的電位正相關,一般來說,資料電壓將會寫入(或影響) 閘極端的電位以決定驅動電流的大小,在顯示週期中若第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端存在漏電路徑,使得閘極端電位因漏電而偏移,將可能造成顯示器的畫面閃爍。為了防止第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端所在之處(節點A)漏電而造成顯示器的畫面閃爍,在本揭示文件中,驅動電路100在驅動電流的電流路徑之外的路徑上的電晶體皆係以N型電晶體實施。前述N型電晶體(如第一N型電晶體TN1、第二N型電晶體TN2、第三N型電晶體TN3以及第四N型電晶體TN4)可以是銦鎵鋅氧化物薄膜電晶體。相較於低溫多晶矽薄膜電晶體,銦鎵鋅氧化物薄膜電晶體在關斷時的漏電較小,因此第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端電位較不易因周圍其他電晶體的漏電流所影響,可以維持在穩定的電位,因此在低畫面更新頻率的顯示器中,驅動電路100可以有效改善節點A漏電造成畫面失真的問題。The magnitude of the driving current flowing through the light-emitting element L1 is positively related to the potential of the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1. Generally speaking, the data voltage will write (or affect) the potential of the gate terminal to determine the magnitude of the driving current In the display period, if there is a leakage path at the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1, the potential of the gate terminal is shifted due to leakage, which may cause the display screen to flicker. In order to prevent the screen of the display from flickering due to leakage at the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 (node A), in this disclosure, the driving circuit 100 drives the transistor on a path other than the current path of the driving current. All are implemented with N-type transistors. The aforementioned N-type transistors (eg, the first N-type transistor TN1 , the second N-type transistor TN2 , the third N-type transistor TN3 and the fourth N-type transistor TN4 ) may be indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors. Compared with the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor, the leakage current of the indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor is smaller when it is turned off, so the gate terminal potential of the first P-type transistor TP1 is less likely to be affected by the leakage current of other surrounding transistors , which can be maintained at a stable potential. Therefore, in a display with a low picture update frequency, the driving circuit 100 can effectively improve the problem of picture distortion caused by the leakage of node A.

第2圖為依據一實施例,第1圖中的畫素驅動電路100的控制訊號的時序圖。如第2圖所示,在畫素驅動電路100的控制時序中的一個顯示週期可分為三個期間,其分別為重置期間P1、補償及寫入期間P2以及發光期間P3。需特別說明的是,第2圖中的該些期間的時間長度僅用以示例,並非用以限制本揭露文件。FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of control signals of the pixel driving circuit 100 in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2 , a display period in the control sequence of the pixel driving circuit 100 can be divided into three periods, which are a reset period P1 , a compensation and writing period P2 and a light-emitting period P3 . It should be particularly noted that the time lengths of the periods in FIG. 2 are only used as examples, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

詳細而言,第一控制訊號S1在重置期間P1具有第一邏輯位準(例如:高邏輯位準VH) ;第一控制訊號S1在補償及寫入期間P2以及發光期間P3具有第二邏輯位準(例如:低邏輯位準VL)。第二控制訊號S2在補償及寫入期間P2具有第一邏輯位準;第二控制訊號S2在重置期間P1以及發光期間P3具有第二邏輯位準。第三控制訊號EM在重置期間P1以及補償及寫入期間P2具有第一邏輯位準;第三控制訊號EM在發光期間P3具有第二邏輯位準。Specifically, the first control signal S1 has a first logic level (eg, a high logic level VH) during the reset period P1; the first control signal S1 has a second logic level during the compensation and writing period P2 and the light-emitting period P3 level (eg: low logic level VL). The second control signal S2 has a first logic level during the compensation and writing periods P2; the second control signal S2 has a second logic level during the reset period P1 and the light-emitting period P3. The third control signal EM has a first logic level during the reset period P1 and the compensation and writing period P2; the third control signal EM has a second logic level during the light-emitting period P3.

為使畫素驅動電路100的整體操作更加清楚易懂,以下請一併參考第1~3C圖。第3A圖為第1圖中的畫素驅動電路100在重置期間P1中的電路狀態圖。第3B圖為第1圖中的畫素驅動電路100在補償及寫入期間P2中的電路狀態圖。第3C圖為第1圖中的畫素驅動電路100在發光期間P3中的電路狀態圖。In order to make the overall operation of the pixel driving circuit 100 clearer and easier to understand, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3C together below. FIG. 3A is a circuit state diagram of the pixel driving circuit 100 in the reset period P1 in FIG. 1 . FIG. 3B is a circuit state diagram of the pixel driving circuit 100 in the compensation and writing period P2 in FIG. 1 . FIG. 3C is a circuit state diagram of the pixel driving circuit 100 in the light-emitting period P3 in FIG. 1 .

在重置期間P1,由於第一控制訊號S1以及第三控制訊號EM具有高邏輯位準VH,因此第一N型電晶體TN1以及第三N型電晶體TN3會導通,並且第二P型電晶體TP2以及第三P型電晶體TP3會關斷。另一方面,由於第二控制訊號S2具有低邏輯位準VL,因此第二N型電晶體TN2會關斷。During the reset period P1, since the first control signal S1 and the third control signal EM have a high logic level VH, the first N-type transistor TN1 and the third N-type transistor TN3 are turned on, and the second P-type transistor is turned on. The crystal TP2 and the third P-type transistor TP3 are turned off. On the other hand, since the second control signal S2 has a low logic level VL, the second N-type transistor TN2 is turned off.

詳細而言,於重置期間P1,系統低電壓端VSS之電壓Vss經由第一N型電晶體TN1傳送至第一P 型電晶體TP1之閘極端(節點A),以將第一P型電晶體TP1之閘極端的電位下拉至電壓Vss,藉此重置第一P型電晶體TP1之閘極端的電位,並且使第一P型電晶體TP1導通。同時,系統低電壓端VSS之電壓Vss經由第一N型電晶體TN1、第三N型電晶體TN3以及第一P型電晶體TP1傳送至節點D,直到第一P型電晶體TP1截止,藉此重置第一P型電晶體TP1之源極端(第一端)的電位。Specifically, during the reset period P1, the voltage Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS is transmitted to the gate terminal (node A) of the first P-type transistor TP1 through the first N-type transistor TN1, so as to connect the first P-type voltage The potential of the gate terminal of the transistor TP1 is pulled down to the voltage Vss, thereby resetting the potential of the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 and turning on the first P-type transistor TP1. At the same time, the voltage Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS is transmitted to the node D through the first N-type transistor TN1, the third N-type transistor TN3 and the first P-type transistor TP1 until the first P-type transistor TP1 is turned off. This resets the potential of the source terminal (first terminal) of the first P-type transistor TP1.

此時,節點A的電位以及節點D的電位實質上等於系統低電壓端VSS的電位Vss,並且節點D的電位實質上等於系統低電壓端VSS的電壓Vss加上第一P型電晶體TP1之臨界電壓的絕對值|Vth|。At this time, the potential of node A and the potential of node D are substantially equal to the potential Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS, and the potential of node D is substantially equal to the voltage Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS plus the first P-type transistor TP1. The absolute value of the threshold voltage |Vth|.

值得注意的是,於重置期間P1,由於第一控制訊號S1具有高邏輯位準VH,第四N型電晶體TN4會導通,使系統低電壓端VSS的電位經由第四N型電晶體TN4傳送至發光元件L1的第一端,藉此重置發光元件L1的第一端的電位。亦即,節點C的電位實質上等於系統低電壓端VSS的電壓Vss。It is worth noting that during the reset period P1, since the first control signal S1 has a high logic level VH, the fourth N-type transistor TN4 is turned on, so that the potential of the system low-voltage terminal VSS passes through the fourth N-type transistor TN4 It is transmitted to the first end of the light-emitting element L1, thereby resetting the potential of the first end of the light-emitting element L1. That is, the potential of the node C is substantially equal to the voltage Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS.

藉由第四N型電晶體TN4於重置期間P1將系統低電壓端VSS的電壓Vss傳送至發光元件L1的陽極端(第一端),使發光元件L1的陽極端的電位可以穩定在電壓Vss,從而提升畫面對比度。The fourth N-type transistor TN4 transfers the voltage Vss of the system low voltage terminal VSS to the anode terminal (first terminal) of the light-emitting element L1 during the reset period P1, so that the potential of the anode terminal of the light-emitting element L1 can be stabilized at the voltage Vss, thereby improving the contrast of the picture.

在補償及寫入期間P2,由於第二控制訊號S2以及第三控制訊號EM具有高邏輯位準VH,因此,第二N型電晶體TN2以及第三N型電晶體TN3會導通,並且第二P型電晶體TP2以及第三P型電晶體TP3會關斷。另一方面,由於第一控制訊號S1具有低邏輯位準VL,因此第一N型電晶體TN1以及第四N型電晶體TN4會關斷。During the compensation and writing period P2, since the second control signal S2 and the third control signal EM have a high logic level VH, the second N-type transistor TN2 and the third N-type transistor TN3 are turned on, and the second N-type transistor TN2 and the third N-type transistor TN3 are turned on. The P-type transistor TP2 and the third P-type transistor TP3 are turned off. On the other hand, since the first control signal S1 has a low logic level VL, the first N-type transistor TN1 and the fourth N-type transistor TN4 are turned off.

詳細而言,於補償及寫入期間P2初始時,第一P型電晶體TP1之閘極端的電壓仍然在Vss,使第一P型電晶體TP1導通。資料訊號DATA經由第二N 型電晶體TN2、第一P 型電晶體TP1以及第三N 型電晶體TN3傳送至第一P 型電晶體TP1之閘極端(節點A),直到第一P 型電晶體TP1截止(當第一P 型電晶體TP1之源極端以及閘極端的電位差為第一P 型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓的絕對值|Vth|時,第一P 型電晶體TP1截止),藉此將資料訊號DATA寫入第一P型電晶體TP1之閘極端。此時,節點D的電位實質上等於資料訊號DATA之電壓Vdata,因此節點A以及節點B的電位實質上等於(Vdata-|Vth|)。並且,節點C的電位仍維持在電壓Vss。Specifically, at the beginning of the compensation and writing period P2, the voltage of the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 is still at Vss, so that the first P-type transistor TP1 is turned on. The data signal DATA is transmitted to the gate terminal (node A) of the first P-type transistor TP1 through the second N-type transistor TN2, the first P-type transistor TP1 and the third N-type transistor TN3 until the first P-type transistor The crystal TP1 is turned off (when the potential difference between the source terminal and the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 is the absolute value |Vth| of the threshold voltage of the first P-type transistor TP1, the first P-type transistor TP1 is turned off), by This writes the data signal DATA into the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1. At this time, the potential of the node D is substantially equal to the voltage Vdata of the data signal DATA, so the potentials of the node A and the node B are substantially equal to (Vdata-|Vth|). Also, the potential of the node C is maintained at the voltage Vss.

在發光期間P3,由於第三控制訊號EM具有低邏輯位準VL,因此第二P型電晶體TP2以及第三P型電晶體TP3會導通,並且第三N型電晶體TN3會關斷。並且,由於第一控制訊號S1以及第二控制訊號S2亦具有低邏輯位準VL,第一N型電晶體TN1、第二N型電晶體TN2以及第四N型電晶體TN4會關斷。During the light-emitting period P3, since the third control signal EM has a low logic level VL, the second P-type transistor TP2 and the third P-type transistor TP3 are turned on, and the third N-type transistor TN3 is turned off. Moreover, since the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 also have the low logic level VL, the first N-type transistor TN1 , the second N-type transistor TN2 and the fourth N-type transistor TN4 are turned off.

詳細而言,由於第一N型電晶體TN1、第三N型電晶體TN3以及第四N型電晶體TN4關斷,第一P型電晶體TP1的閘極端的電位仍維持在(Vdata-|Vth|)。並且系統高電壓端VDD的電壓Vdd經由第二P型電晶體TP2傳送至第一P型電晶體TP1的源極端。因此第一P型電晶體TP1的源極端以及閘極端的跨壓(Vsg)為[Vdd-(Vdata-|Vth|)]。In detail, since the first N-type transistor TN1, the third N-type transistor TN3 and the fourth N-type transistor TN4 are turned off, the potential of the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 is still maintained at (Vdata-| Vth|). And the voltage Vdd of the system high voltage terminal VDD is transmitted to the source terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 via the second P-type transistor TP2. Therefore, the cross voltage (Vsg) of the source terminal and the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 is [Vdd-(Vdata-|Vth|)].

一般而言,P型電晶體所能提供的驅動電流遵守以下公式:Id=k(Vsg-|Vth|) 2。其中,k為相關於第二P型電晶體TP2的元件特性的一常數,|Vth|為第二P型電晶體TP2的臨界電壓的絕對值。 Generally speaking, the driving current that the P-type transistor can provide obeys the following formula: Id=k(Vsg-|Vth|) 2 . Wherein, k is a constant related to the element characteristics of the second P-type transistor TP2, and |Vth| is the absolute value of the threshold voltage of the second P-type transistor TP2.

將上述第二P型電晶體TP2的源極端與閘極端的跨壓(Vsg)代入驅動電流Id的公式中,驅動電流Id如下列計算: Id=k(Vsg-|Vth|) 2Id=k{[Vdd-(Vdata-|Vth|)]-|Vth|} 2Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2 Substitute the above-mentioned cross voltage (Vsg) between the source terminal and the gate terminal of the second P-type transistor TP2 into the formula of the driving current Id, the driving current Id is calculated as follows: Id=k(Vsg-|Vth|) 2 Id=k {[Vdd-(Vdata-|Vth|)]-|Vth|} 2 Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2

於發光期間P3,第一P型電晶體TP1提供驅動電流Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2予發光元件L1,使發光元件L1依據驅動電流Id的幅值發光。 During the light-emitting period P3, the first P-type transistor TP1 provides a driving current Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2 to the light-emitting element L1, so that the light-emitting element L1 emits light according to the magnitude of the driving current Id.

舉例而言,若於補償及寫入期間P2,驅動電路100被寫入的資料訊號DATA的電壓Vdata較大,則由於前述驅動電流Id的公式,發光元件L1於發光期間P3會依據較小的驅動電流Id而在較低的亮度(灰階);另一方面,若驅動電路100被寫入的資料訊號DATA的電壓Vdata較小,則由於前述驅動電流Id的公式,發光元件L1於發光期間P3會依據較大的驅動電流Id而在較高的亮度(灰階)。For example, if the voltage Vdata of the data signal DATA written by the driving circuit 100 is relatively large during the compensation and writing period P2, then due to the aforementioned formula of the driving current Id, the light-emitting element L1 will be based on a relatively small voltage during the light-emitting period P3. On the other hand, if the voltage Vdata of the data signal DATA written by the driving circuit 100 is small, the light-emitting element L1 is in the light-emitting period due to the aforementioned formula of the driving current Id. P3 will be at a higher brightness (gray scale) according to a larger driving current Id.

請參閱第4A圖,第4A圖為第1圖中節點A的電壓示意圖。詳細而言,第4A圖繪示當第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)介於0.5~-0.5之間中節點A的電壓波形圖,其中節點A的電壓以V A表示。其中,橫軸座標為時間,單位是微秒(μs),縱軸座標為電壓,單位是伏特(V)。在第4A圖的實施例中是以相同資料訊號DATA的電壓Vdata作示例。 Please refer to FIG. 4A . FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of the voltage of node A in FIG. 1 . In detail, FIG. 4A shows a voltage waveform diagram of node A when the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is between 0.5 and -0.5, wherein the voltage of node A is represented by V A express. Among them, the horizontal axis coordinate is time, and the unit is microsecond (μs), and the vertical axis coordinate is voltage, and the unit is volt (V). In the embodiment of FIG. 4A, the voltage Vdata of the same data signal DATA is used as an example.

若第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)在0.5伏特時,節點A於發光期間P3中的數值會在2.149伏特(V)。If the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is 0.5 volts, the value of the node A during the light-emitting period P3 will be 2.149 volts (V).

若第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)在0伏特時,節點A於發光期間P3中的數值會在1.674伏特(V)。If the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is 0 volts, the value of the node A during the light-emitting period P3 will be 1.674 volts (V).

若第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)在-0.5伏特時,節點A於發光期間P3中的數值會在1.145伏特(V)。If the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is -0.5 volts, the value of the node A during the light-emitting period P3 will be 1.145 volts (V).

請參閱第4B圖,第4B圖為第1圖中電流誤差模擬圖。在第4B圖所示的實施例中,左斜線填滿代表第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)在-0.5伏特(V)時驅動電流Id的電流誤差率,右斜線填滿代表第一P型電晶體TP1的臨界電壓Vth的變異(ΔVth)在0.5伏特(V)時驅動電流Id的電流誤差率。其中,橫軸座標為電流誤差率,單位是百分比(%),縱軸座標為電壓,單位是伏特(V)。值得一提的是,由於驅動電流Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2,Vdata由小至大依序代表灰階由高至低。如第4B圖所示,可以看到驅動電流Id的電流誤差率大致上在3.14%以下。如此,可以驗證驅動電路100可有效補償第一P型電晶體TP1之臨界電壓Vth的變異。 Please refer to Figure 4B, which is a simulation of the current error in Figure 1. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4B, the left oblique line is filled to represent the current error rate of the driving current Id when the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is at -0.5 volts (V), and the right oblique line The fill represents the current error rate of the driving current Id when the variation (ΔVth) of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1 is 0.5 volts (V). Among them, the horizontal axis coordinate is the current error rate, and the unit is percentage (%), and the vertical axis coordinate is the voltage, and the unit is volt (V). It is worth mentioning that, since the driving current Id=k(Vdd-Vdata) 2 , the order of Vdata from small to large represents the gray scale from high to low. As shown in FIG. 4B , it can be seen that the current error rate of the drive current Id is approximately 3.14% or less. In this way, it can be verified that the driving circuit 100 can effectively compensate for the variation of the threshold voltage Vth of the first P-type transistor TP1.

在一些常見的做法中,部分的顯示器的驅動電路在低、中及高灰階的驅動電流的電流誤差率分別是9.42納安培(nA)、48.55納安培(nA)以及57.85納安培(nA)。在本揭示文件的驅動電路100的架構下,在低、中及高灰階的驅動電流Id的電流誤差率分別是0.01納安培(nA)、0.51納安培(nA)以及0.7納安培(nA),由此可知,在驅動電流Id的電流路徑外的電晶體皆是採用N型電晶體的驅動電路100的架構下,確實可以減少第一P型電晶體TP1之閘極端的漏電。如此,驅動電路100在低、中及高灰階的驅動電流的電流誤差皆可明顯降低,從而避免顯示畫面失真。In some common practices, the current error rates of the driving current of some display driving circuits at low, medium and high gray scales are 9.42 nanoamps (nA), 48.55 nanoamps (nA) and 57.85 nanoamps (nA), respectively. . Under the structure of the driving circuit 100 of the present disclosure, the current error rates of the driving current Id at low, middle, and high gray scales are 0.01 nanoampere (nA), 0.51 nanoampere (nA), and 0.7 nanoampere (nA), respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that under the structure of the driving circuit 100 in which the transistors outside the current path of the driving current Id are all N-type transistors, the leakage current at the gate terminal of the first P-type transistor TP1 can indeed be reduced. In this way, the current error of the driving current of the driving circuit 100 at low, medium and high gray scales can be significantly reduced, thereby avoiding distortion of the display image.

綜上所述,本揭示文件的驅動電路100具有補償臨界電壓的能力,並且將驅動電流Id的電流路徑上的電晶體以P型電晶體實施,可以降低導通電晶體時所需之跨壓,藉此增加驅動能力,並且將驅動電流Id的電流路徑之外的電晶體以N型電晶體實施,可以改善節點A因漏電造成顯示畫面失真之問題。進一步而言,第三N型電晶體與第二P型電晶體以及第三P型電晶體共用第三控制訊號EM,藉以減少產生控制訊號的電路的面積。To sum up, the driving circuit 100 of the present disclosure has the capability of compensating for the threshold voltage, and the transistor on the current path of the driving current Id is implemented as a P-type transistor, which can reduce the cross-voltage required to turn on the transistor, In this way, the driving capability is increased, and the transistors outside the current path of the driving current Id are implemented as N-type transistors, which can improve the problem of distortion of the display screen caused by the leakage of the node A. Further, the third N-type transistor shares the third control signal EM with the second P-type transistor and the third P-type transistor, thereby reducing the area of the circuit for generating the control signal.
