Description

AMOLED像素单元及其驱动方法、 显示装置 技术领域
本发明属于显示领域， 具体涉及一种 AMOLED像素单元及其驱动方 法、 显示装置。 背景技术
有机发光二极管 （OLED )作为一种电流型发光器件已越来越多地被 应用于高性能显示中。 传统的无源矩阵有机发光显示 （Passive Matrix OLED ) 随着显示尺寸的增大， 需要更短的单个像素的驱动时间， 因而需 要增大瞬态电流，增加功耗。同时大电流的应用会造成 ITO线上压降过大， 并使 OLED 工作电压过高， 进而降低其效率。 而有源矩阵有机发光显示 ( Active Matrix OLED )通过开关管逐行扫描输入 OLED电流， 可以很好 地解决这些问题。
在 AMOLED背板设计中， 主要需要解决的问题是像素和像素之间的 亮度非均匀性。
首先， AMOLED采用薄膜晶体管 （TFT )构建像素电路为 OLED器 件提供相应的电流， 其中多采用低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管 (LTPS TFT)或氧化 物薄膜晶体管 （Oxide TFT )。 与一般的非晶硅薄膜晶体管 （amorphous-Si TFT )相比， LTPS TFT和 Oxide TFT具有更高的迁移率和更稳定的特性， 更适合应用于 AMOLED显示中。 但是由于晶化工艺的局限性， 在大面积 玻璃基板上制作的 LTPS TFT, 常常在诸如阈值电压、 迁移率等电学参数 上具有非均勾性，这种非均勾性会转化为 OLED显示器件的电流差异和亮 度差异， 并被人眼所感知， 即 mura (不良）现象。 Oxide TFT虽然工艺的 均匀性较好， 但是与 a-Si TFT类似， 在长时间加压和高温下， 其阈值电压 会出现漂移， 由于显示画面不同， 面板各部分 TFT的阈值漂移量不同， 会 造成显示亮度差异， 由于这种差异与之前显示的图像有关， 因此常呈现为 残影现象。
第二， 在大尺寸显示应用中， 由于背板电源线存在一定电阻， 且所有 像素的驱动电流都由电源 ARVDD提供， 因此在背板中靠近电源 ARVDD 供电位置区域的电源电压相比较离供电位置较远区域的电源电压要高， 这 种现象被称为 IR Drop。 由于电源 ARVDD的电压与电流相关， IR Drop也 会造成不同区域的电流差异， 进而在显示时产生 mura。 采用 P-Type TFT 构建像素单元的 LTPS工艺对这一问题尤其敏感， 因为其存储电容连接在 电源 ARVDD与 TFT的栅极之间， 电源 ARVDD的电压改变， 会直接影响 驱动 TFT的栅源电压 Vgs。
第三， OLED器件在蒸镀时由于膜厚不均也会造成电学性能的非均匀 性。 对于采用 N-Type TFT构建像素单元的 a-Si或 Oxide TFT工艺， 其存 储电容连接在驱动 TFT栅极与 OLED阳极之间，在数据电压传输到栅极时， 如果各像素 OLED阳极电压不同， 则实际加载在 TFT上的栅源电压 Vgs 不同， 从而驱动电流不同造成显示亮度差异。
现有技术中提供了一种 AMOLED电压式像素单元驱动电路。 这种电 压式驱动方法与传统 AMLCD驱动方法类似， 由驱动单元提供一个表示灰 阶的电压信号， 该电压信号会在像素电路内部被转化为驱动管的电流信 号， 从而驱动 OLED实现亮度灰阶， 这种方法具有驱动速度快， 实现筒单 的优点，适合驱动大尺寸面板，被业界广泛采用，但是需要设计额外的 TFT 和电容器件来补偿 TFT非均匀性、 IR Drop和 OLED非均匀性。
如图 1所示为最传统的采用 2个 TFT, 1个电容组成的电压驱动型像 素单元电路结构 （2T1C )。 其中开关管 TK将数据线上的电压传输到驱动 管 TQ的栅极，驱动管将这个数据电压转化为相应的电流供给 OLED器件， 在正常工作时， 驱动管 TQ应处于饱和区， 在一行的扫描时间内提供恒定 电流。 其电流可表示为：
1 W 2
I0LED =— /„ · Cox (Vdata - Noled - Vthn) 其中 A为载流子迁移率， C。x为栅氧化层电容， W/L为晶体管宽长比， Vdata为数据电压， Voled为 OLED工作电压， 为所有像素单元共享， Vthn 为晶体管的阈值电压， 对于增强型 TFT, Vthn为正值， 对于耗尽型 TFT, Vthn为负值。
尽管现有技术像素单元驱动电路被广泛使用，但是其仍然必不可免的 存在以下问题： 如果不同像素单元之间的 Vthn 不同， 则电流存在差异。 如果像素的 Vthn随时间发生漂移， 则可能造成先后电流不同， 导致残影。 且由于 OLED器件非均匀性引起 OLED工作电压不同，也会导致电流差异。 发明内容

为使本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明的技术方案，下面结合附图和 具体实施方式对本发明作进一步详细描述。 实施例 1:
本发明实施例提供一种 AMOLED像素单元， 包括： 补偿单元、 发光 控制单元、 驱动晶体管 T4、 存储电容 C以及有机发光二极管 OLED, 所 述补偿单元用于在扫描线 Scan信号控制下导通， 将数据线 DATA信号传 输给驱动晶体管 T4的栅极以及第一极， 同时将参考电源信号 VREF传输 给存储电容 C的第一端； 所述发光控制单元用于在发光控制线 EM信号控 制下导通， 将第一电源信号传输给驱动晶体管 T4的第一极， 同时将存储 电容 C的第一端与驱动晶体管 T4的栅极导通，驱动有机发光二极管 OLED 发光； 所述有机发光二极管 OLED的阳极接存储电容 C的第二端， 阴极接 第二电源信号。 采用该结构的 AMOLED像素单元， 可以通过补偿单元补偿驱动晶体 管 T4上的阈值电压， 避免有机发光二极管 OLED的均匀性受到阈值电压 漂移的影响， 并且控制信号少， 时序筒单， 因此适用性更广。
如图 2所示， 优选地， 所述补偿单元包括： 第一开关晶体管 Tl、 第 三开关晶体管 Τ3、第五开关晶体管 Τ6; 其中所述第一开关晶体管 T1栅极 接扫描线 Scan信号， 第一极接数据线 DATA信号， 第二极接第三开关晶 体管 T3的第一极， 同时接驱动晶体管 T4的第一极； 所述第三开关晶体管 T3, 栅极接扫描线 Scan信号， 第二极接驱动晶体管 T4的栅极， 同时接发 光控制单元； 所述第五开关晶体管 T6栅极接扫描线 Scan信号， 第一极接 参考电源， 第二极连接存储电容 C的第一端和发光控制单元。
进一步优选地， 所述发光控制单元包括： 第二开关晶体管 T2、 第四 开关晶体管 Τ5; 其中， 所述第二开关晶体管 Τ2第一极接第一电源信号， 栅极接发光控制线 ΕΜ信号， 第二极接驱动晶体管 Τ4的第一极； 所述第 四开关晶体管 Τ5 的第一极接第三开关晶体管 Τ3 的第二极和驱动晶体管 Τ4的栅极， 栅极接发光控制线 ΕΜ信号， 第二极接存储电容 C的第一端， 同时接第五开关晶体管 Τ6的第二极。
上述方案中， 所述第一电源信号为发光工作电压 ELVDD, 第二电源 信号为发光接地电压 ELVSS, 所述 ELVSS的高电平高于 OLED最高灰阶 的驱动电压。
更进一步优选地， 所述的第一开关晶体管 Tl、 第二开关晶体管 Τ2、 第三开关晶体管 Τ3、驱动晶体管 Τ4、第四开关晶体管 Τ5以及第五开关晶 体管 Τ6分别独立选自多晶硅薄膜晶体管、 非晶硅薄膜晶体管、 氧化物薄 膜晶体管、 有机薄膜晶体管中任意一种， 且均为 Ν型薄膜晶体管， 其中第 一极为漏极， 第二极为源极。 实施例 2:
本实施例提供一种 AMOLED像素单元的驱动方法， 包括如下两个步 骤：
补偿阶段： 选通扫描线 Scan信号， 补偿单元导通， 将数据线 DATA 信号传输给驱动晶体管 T4的栅极以及第一极，同时将参考电源信号 VREF 传输给存储电容 C的第一端； 发光阶段： 选通发光控制线 EM信号， 扫描线 Scan信号截止， 发光 控制单元导通， 将第一电源信号 ELVDD传输给驱动晶体管 T4的第一极， 同时将存储电容 C的第一端与驱动晶体管 T4的栅极导通， 驱动有机发光 二极管 OLED发光。
其中， 所述补偿单元包括： 第一开关晶体管 Tl、 第三开关晶体管 Τ3、 第五开关晶体管 Τ6; 所述发光控制单元包括： 第二开关晶体管 Τ2、 第四 开关晶体管 Τ5;
下面具体说明该 AMOLED像素单元的工作工程。
结合图 3, 第一阶段为补偿阶段， 当扫描线 Scan被选通时， 即扫描线 对应的扫描控制信号 Vscan为高电平， 第一开关晶体管 Tl、第三开关晶体 管 Τ3、 驱动晶体管 Τ4、 第五开关晶体管 Τ6保持导通， 而发光控制线 ΕΜ 对应的发光控制信号 VEM为低电平， 第二开关晶体管 Τ2、 第四开关晶体 管 Τ5截止，数据线 DATA对应的数据线信号为当前帧的数据电压 VDATA, ELVSS 为高电平。 此时， 参考电源信号 VREF 可以通过第五开关晶体管 T6,使得 A点电位重置为参考电源信号 VREF电压。 G点通过导通的第一 开关晶体管 T1和第三开关晶体管 T3被充电至 VDATA。 由于当驱动晶体 管 T4导通时， 该晶体管就相当于一个 PN 结， 使得 S 点电压被充电至 VDATA-Vth。 注意设计时， 要保证 ELVSS 的高电平高于最高灰阶的驱动 电压， 因为如果 ELVSS 的高电平小于最高灰阶电压， 那么有机发光二极 管 OLED 就亮了。 补偿阶段结束， 此时存储电容 C 两端的电荷为 (VREF-VDATA+Vth) CST。
结合图 4, 第二阶段为发光阶段， 当发光控制线 EM被选通时， 即发 光控制线对应的发光控制信号 VEM为高电平时， 第二开关晶体管 T2、 第 四开关晶体管 Τ5开启， 而扫描线对应的扫描控制信号 Vscan为低电平， 第一开关晶体管 Tl、 第三开关晶体管 Τ3、 驱动晶体管 Τ4、 第五开关晶体 管 Τ6截止， 第二电源信号 ELVSS为低电平。 此时， 存储电容 C连接在驱 动晶体管 T4栅源之间， 保持驱动晶体管 T4的栅源电压 Vgs, 其存储的电 荷保持不变， 随着有机发光二极管 OLED电流趋于稳定， 有机发光二极管 OLED两端的电压为 VOLED, S点电压变为 ELVSS+VOLED, 由于存储 电 容 C 的 自 举 效 应 ， A 和 G 点 电 压 变 为 VREF+VOLED+ELVSS-VDATA+Vth。 驱动晶体管 T4的栅源电压 Vgs保 持为 VREF-VDATA+Vth, 此时流过驱动晶体管 T4的电流为： loLEu =~μη Cox — (VREF-YDATA +Vth-Vthy
= ^n.Cox~-(VREF-YDATA)2
由上式可知，其电流与阈值电压和有机发光二极管 OLED两端的电压 无关，因此基本消除了阈值电压非均匀性、漂移以及有机发光二极管 OLED 电气性能非均匀性的影响。
如图 5所示为该像素电路的时序图，从时序图中可以看出该控制信号 少、 电路时序筒单， 容易实现， 所以适用性更广。 实施例 3:
本实施例提供一种显示装置， 包括实施例 1中所述的 AMOLED像素 单元， 此处不详细描述。
当然本实施例中该显示装置可以为： OLED面板、 手机、 平板电脑、 电视机、 显示器、 笔记本电脑、 数码相框、 导航仪等任何具有显示功能的 产品或部件。
当然本实施例中显示装置还具有常规 AMOLED显示装置的外框等结 构。
由于本实施例的显示装置具有实施例 1中的 AMOLED像素单元， 故 其画面均匀性明显提高。 可以理解的是， 以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本发明的原理而采用的 示例性实施方式， 然而本发明并不局限于此。 对于本领域内的普通技术人 员而言， 在不脱离本发明的精神和实质的情况下， 可以做出各种变型和改 进， 这些变型和改进也视为本发明的保护范围。
