3.適用例
[構成例]
図1は、第1の実施の形態に係る表示装置の一構成例を表すものである。表示装置1は、有機EL素子を用いた、アクティブマトリックス方式の表示装置である。なお、本開示の実施の形態に係る駆動装置、駆動方法は、本実施の形態により具現化されるので、併せて説明する。この表示装置1は、表示部10および駆動部20を備えている。
続いて、本実施の形態の表示装置1の動作および作用について説明する。
まず、図1を参照して、表示装置1の全体動作概要を説明する。映像信号処理部21は、外部から供給される映像信号Sdispに対して所定の信号処理を行い、映像信号Sdisp2を生成する。タイミング生成部22は、外部から供給される同期信号Ssyncに基づいて、走査線駆動部23、電源線駆動部26およびデータ線駆動部27に対してそれぞれ制御信号を供給し、これらがお互いに同期して動作するように制御する。走査線駆動部23は、タイミング生成部22から供給された制御信号に従って、複数の走査線WSLに対して走査信号WSを順次印加することにより、行ごとにサブ画素11を順次選択する。電源線駆動部26は、タイミング生成部22から供給された制御信号に従って、複数の電源線PLに対して電源信号DSを順次印加することにより、行ごとにサブ画素11の発光動作および消光動作の制御を行う。データ線駆動部27は、映像信号処理部21から供給された映像信号Sdisp2およびタイミング生成部22から供給された制御信号に従って、各サブ画素11の発光輝度を指示する画素電圧Vsig、およびVth補正を行うための電圧Vofsを含む信号Sigを生成し、各データ線DTLに印加する。表示部10は、駆動部20から供給された走査信号WS、電源信号DS、および信号Sigに基づいて、表示を行う。
図6は、駆動部20の動作のタイミング図を表すものであり、(A)は走査信号WSの波形を示し、(B)は電源信号DSの波形を示し、(C)は信号Sigの波形を示す。図6(A)において、走査信号WS(k)は、kライン目のサブ画素11を駆動する走査信号WSであり、同様に、走査信号WS(k+1),WS(k+2),WS(K+3)は、それぞれ、(k+1)ライン目、(k+2)ライン目、(k+3)ライン目のサブ画素11を駆動する走査信号WSである。電源信号DS(図6(B))についても同様である。
次に、駆動回路33の詳細動作について説明する。駆動回路33は、電圧生成部31から供給された電圧Vccp、およびシフトレジスタ32から供給された走査信号Ssに基づいて、電源信号DSを生成する。
次に、比較例に係る電源線駆動部26Rについて説明する。本比較例は、電圧生成部31Rが電圧Vccp,Viniを生成し、駆動回路33Rが電圧Vccp,Viniのうちの一方を選択して出力するものである。その他の構成は、本実施の形態(図1)と同様である。
以上のように本実施の形態では、スイッチとして機能するトランジスタと、非線形素子(ダイオード)として機能するトランジスタを用いて駆動回路を構成したので、電源線駆動部の構成をシンプルにすることができる。これにより、回路規模を小さくすることができ、回路および配線の配置面積を小さくすることができ、回路レイアウトの自由度を高めることができるとともに、表示装置全体としての商品デザインの自由度を高めることができる。
上記実施の形態では、駆動回路33において、ダイオード接続されたトランジスタ35を設けたが、これに限定されるものではなく、これに代えて、例えば、図11に示したように、ダイオード35Bを設けてもよい。この電源線駆動部26Bは、駆動回路33Bを有している。駆動回路33B(k)では、ダイオード35Bのアノードは電源線PL(k)に接続され、カソードは配線L2(k)に接続されている。
上記実施の形態では、駆動回路のトランジスタ34,35をNチャネルMOS型のTFTにより構成したが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、図12に示したように、PチャンネルMOS型のTFTにより構成してもよい。この変形例に係る電源線駆動部26Cは、駆動回路33Cと、電圧生成部31Cと、シフトレジスタ32Cとを有している。駆動回路33Cは、トランジスタ36,37を有している。トランジスタ36,37は、PチャンネルMOS型のTFTである。トランジスタ36は、非線形素子(ダイオード)として機能するものであり、トランジスタ37は、スイッチとして機能するものである。電圧生成部31Cは、電圧Viniを生成するものである。シフトレジスタ32Cは、タイミング生成部22から供給される制御信号(図示せず)に基づいて、駆動対象となる画素ラインを選択するための複数の走査信号Ssを生成するものである。各走査信号Ssの高レベル電圧VHは、電圧Vccpよりも、駆動回路33Cのトランジスタ36の閾値電圧の絶対値|Vth|だけ高い電圧(Vccp+|Vth|)である。
上記実施の形態では、駆動回路33を用いて電源線駆動部26を構成したが、これに限定されるものではなく、これに代えて、もしくはこれに加え、例えば、駆動回路33を用いて走査線駆動部23を構成してもよい。この場合には、走査線駆動部23の構成をシンプルにすることができる。
上記実施の形態では、本技術を、有機EL素子を用いた表示装置に適用したが、これに限定されるものではなく、これに代えて、例えば、液晶表示素子を用いた表示装置に適用してもよい。具体的には、例えば、画素電圧を書き込む画素を選択する回路(上記実施の形態における走査駆動部23に相当)に適用することができる。
上記実施の形態では、図7等に示したように、Vth補正期間P2の前に、1つの初期化期間P1を設けたが、これに限定されるものではなく、これに代えて、例えば、複数の初期化期間P1を設けてもよい。この場合、複数の初期化期間P1は、例えば、複数の水平期間にわたって設けることができる。これにより、長い初期化期間P1を確保することができるため、より確実にサブ画素11の初期化を行うことができる。
次に、第2の実施の形態に係る表示装置2について説明する。本実施の形態は、サブ画素11を初期化する前に、サブ画素11に対して電圧Vofsの書込みを行うことにより、消光動作を行うものである。なお、上記第1の実施の形態に係る表示装置1と実質的に同一の構成部分には同一の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。
上記実施の形態では、図14等に示したように、初期化期間P1の前に、1つの消光動作期間P0を設けたが、これに限定されるものではなく、これに代えて、例えば、複数の消光動作期間P0を設けてもよい。この場合、複数の消光動作期間P0は、例えば、複数の水平期間にわたって設けることができる。これにより、長い消光動作期間P0を確保することができるため、より確実に消光動作を行うことができる。
上記実施の形態では、初期化期間P1に先立つ消光動作期間P0において、書込トランジスタWSTrを介して、駆動トランジスタDRTrのゲートに電圧Vofsを印加したが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、図17に示すサブ画素11Aのように、制御トランジスタCTrを設け、この制御トランジスタCTrを介して、駆動トランジスタDRTrのゲートに電圧Vofsを印加してもよい。この例では、制御トランジスタCTrのドレインは、駆動トランジスタDRTrのゲートに接続され、ゲートには制御信号CTLが供給され、ソースには電圧Vofsが供給されている。そして、制御トランジスタCTrをオン状態にすることにより、駆動トランジスタDRTrのゲートに電圧Vofsが印加される。
上記実施の形態に係る表示装置2に、上記第1の実施の形態の各変形例を適用してもよい。
次に、上述した実施の形態で説明した表示装置の適用例について説明する。上記実施の形態の表示装置は、テレビジョン装置、デジタルカメラ、ノート型パーソナルコンピュータ、携帯電話等の携帯端末装置あるいはビデオカメラなど、外部から入力された映像信号あるいは内部で生成した映像信号を、画像あるいは映像として表示するあらゆる分野の電子機器の表示装置に適用することが可能である。
