像素电路及其驱动方法、 有机发光显示面板及显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及有机发光显示领域, 尤其涉及一种像素电路及其驱动方法、 有机发光显示面板及显示装置。 累仪不
AMOLED (有源矩阵有机发光二极管: Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode ) 之所以能够发光, 通常是由 DTFT (驱动晶体管) 在饱和状 态时产生的驱动电流驱动。
目前, AMOLED显示面板主要制作方式是利用 LTPS (低温多晶硅) 的 TFT (薄膜晶体管)工艺技术来制作。 但是, 由于 LTPS工艺的不成熟, 即便 是同样的工艺参数, 制作出来的显示面板不同位置的 TFT的 Vth (晶体管阈 值电压) 也有较大差异, 同时 Vth也有漂移。
而现有传统的 AMOLED驱动电路中, DTFT所产生的驱动电流计算公式 中, 通常包含 TFT的 Vth。 那么如上所述, 由于现有技术中显示面板不同位 置的 TFT的 Vth存在较大差异, 导致了同一灰阶电压下 AMOLED的驱动电 流不一样, 因此导致显示面板不同位置亮度会有差异, 致使显示面板亮度均 一性差。
另外, 触摸功能在各种显示面板尤其是移动显示中的应用越来越广, 几 乎成了智能移动设备的标准配置, 现有的工艺是将显示面板和触摸面板分开 制作, 然后再进行贴合, 这样的工艺流程使得显示触摸屏的功能面板工艺复 杂, 成本高, 也不利于显示的轻薄化。 tftdr t-f-t if^

歩骤 42, 即第二阶段, 第一控制单元 11、 驱动单元 12以及驱动晶体管 DTFT均处于截止状态;
歩骤 43, 即第三阶段, 第一控制单元 11处于截止状态, 驱动单元 12在 发光控制信号 EM (n) 控制下, 利用第一电容 CST两端的压差作为驱动晶体 管 DTFT的栅源电压, 驱动有机发光二极管 OLED发光。
本发明实施例提供的像素电路驱动方法, 通过直接将数据电压 Vdata输 入到驱动晶体管 DTFT的栅极, 使得驱动晶体管 DTFT栅极电位固定, 同时 利用第一电容 CST的通过驱动晶体管 DTFT 自放电将驱动晶体管 DTFT的阈 值电压 Vthd保存在第一电容 CST中, 存储电容 CST的一个电极中引入固定电 位 (例如固定电压 Vref) 以消除线路内阻对发光电流的影响, 从而使有机发 光显示面板中不同位置处的 OLED驱动电流一致, 可改善有机发光显示面板 亮度的均匀性和可靠性。

第一阶段, 充电单元 14利用第一电平信号为第二电容 Cp充电, 放大晶 体管 ATFT和第二控制单元 15处于截止状态;

在本发明一具体实施例中, 本发明实施例提供的像素电路驱动方法具体 还可以包括以下歩骤: 在第一阶段, 第四晶体管 T4处于导通状态;
在第二阶段, 第四晶体管 T4处于截止状态;
在第三阶段, 第四晶体管 T4处于截止状态。
本发明实施例所提供的像素电路驱动方法, 在第一扫描线开启的同时使 有机发光二极管 OLED的阳极短接到第二电平输入端例如 VSS, 从而可消除 有机发光二极管 OLED内部发光层界面累积的未复合的载流子, 减小有机发 光二极管 OLED由于电荷累积的形成的内建电场,延缓有机发光二极管 OLED 的老化。
下面, 结合附图 5所示的时序图, 对本发明实施例提供的像素电路驱动 方法的具体实现过程进行描述。
该实施例中, 第一电平信号为 VDD, 第二电平信号为 VSS。
该实施例的具体实现过程可以包括:
在第一阶段: 第一扫描信号 G(n)为低电平, 第二扫描信号 G(n+1)为高电 平, 发光控制信号 EM(n)为高电平, 第二晶体管 T2、第六晶体管 Τ6、 第七晶 体管 Τ7开启即处于导通状态, 第一晶体管 Tl、 第三晶体管 Τ3、 第五晶体管 Τ5关闭即处于截止状态, 放大晶体管 ATFT的漏极处于断路状态, 第一电平 信号 VDD通过第二晶体管 Τ2对耦合电容即第二电容 Cp充电, 此时第二电 容 Cp电容的另一极即节点 q的电位为第二扫描信号 G(n+1)的电位即为高电 平 VGH。 此时像素电路的部分等效电路图可如附图 6所示, 其中箭头所示方 向为电流方向。
而由于第一电容 Cst在正常发光时 n节点的电位为第一电平信号 VDD, 当第三晶体管 T3关闭后, 驱动晶体管 DTFT的栅极电位固定为数据线(Data line) 输入的数据电压 Vdata, 依然处于一定的开启状态, 因此第一电容 Cst 的 n节点会通过驱动晶体管 DTFT放电, 直到 n节点的电位下降到数据电压 Vdata与驱动晶体管 TDTFT的阈值电压 |Vthd|之和, 由于第六晶体管 T6导通 状态, 第一电容 Cst 的 m节点的电位一直固定为固定电位 Vref, 因此第一电 容 Cst最后两端的电压为: Vcst=Vn- Vm= Vdata+jVthd|-Vref; 而第二电容 Cp 两端的电压为: Vcp=Vp- Vq VDD- VGH。 此时像素电路的部分等效电路图可 如附图 7所示。 同时由于第四晶体管 T4处于导通状态, 有机发光二极管 OLED的阳极 与第二电平信号 VSS相连接, 这样在发光阶段存在于空穴传输层 /发光层 (或 发光层 /电子传输层:)界面处积累了未复合的多余空穴 (或电子)得以消耗, 减小 有机发光二极管 OLED由于电荷累积的形成的内建电场,延缓 OLED的老化。
第二阶段: 第一扫描信号 G(r跳变为高电平, 第二扫描信号 G +l) 电 压跳变为低电平, 发光控制信号 EM(n)仍然为高电平, 因此, 第一晶体管 T1 和放大晶体管 ATFT处于导通状态, 第二晶体管 T2至第七晶体管 T7全部处 于截止状态, 驱动晶体管 DTFT。 由于第二晶体管 T2截止, 第二电容 Cp电 容 p点悬空, 因此当第二扫描信号 G(n+1)电位跳变为低电平时, 通过第二电 容 Cp的耦合, 节点 p即放大晶体管 ATFT的栅极电位也会跟着向下跳变。至 于跳变多少, 分两种情况, 如果有手指 ( Finger)触摸, 由于手指与感应电极 S E之间会形成耦合电容 Cf, 因此 p点的电位为:
Vp=VDD+(VGL- VGH)* Cp/(Cp+Cf);
对于放大晶体管 TATFT的栅源电压 Vsg 、 :
Vsg=Vs-Vg=VDD-[VDD+(VGL-VGH)*Cp/(Cp+Cf)]=(VGH-VGL)*
Cp/(Cp+Cf);
因此通过感应线 Sense line的感应电流大小为:
Ise= a(Vsg-jVtha|)2= a(Vsg-jVtha|)2= a[(VGH-VGL)*Cp/(Cp+Cf)
-|Vtha|]2
此处 Vtha为放大晶体管 ATFT的阈值电压; Ka为放大晶体管 ATFT与工 艺和设计有关的常数。
如果没有手指触摸, 则 p点的电位为:
Vp=VDD-(VGH-VGL);
对于放大晶体管 TATFT的栅源电压 Vsg为:
Vsg-Vs-Vg-VDD-[ VDD- (VGH- VGL)]= VGH-VGL;
通过感应线 Sense line的感应电流大小为:
Ise-Ka(Vsg-jVthaj)2- a(Vsg-|Vtha|)2- Ka[(VGII-VGL) - |Vtha|]2;
由此通过电流即可判断该处是否有手指触摸, 触摸导致的电流差异见图 5中的 I sense- line 。 此时像素电路的部分等效电路图可如附图 8所示。
同时, 第一控制单元 11、 驱动单元 12以及驱动晶体管 DTFT均处于截 止状态
第三阶段: 第一扫描信号 G(n为高电平、 第二扫描信号 G i+1) 和发光 控制信号 EM0Q)为低电平, 因此, 第二晶体管 T2、第四晶体管 Τ4、 第六晶体 管 Τ6、 第七晶体管 Τ7处于截止状态, 第一晶体管 Tl、第三晶体管 Τ3、 第五 晶体管 Τ5处于导通状态。 由于第五晶体管 Τ5开启, 第六晶体管 Τ6关闭, 第一电容 Cst的 m点不再与固定电位连接, 而与驱动晶体管 DTFT的栅极相 连, 由于驱动晶体管 DTFT的栅极处于悬空状态, 因此即便第一电容 Cst的 n 点与第一电平信号 VDD相连(因为第三晶体管 T3开启), 第一电容 Cst两端 的电压仍然不会变化, 对于驱动晶体管 DTFT, 栅源电压:
Vsg= Vs- Vg=Vcst= Vdata+ 1 Vthd | - Vref ;
其中, |Vthd|为驱动晶体管 DTFT的阈值电压。
因此通过驱动晶体管 DTFT的饱和电流即有机发光二极管 OLED的发光 电流大小为:
Ioled=kd(Vsg-| Vthd |)2=k(Vdata+|Vthd卜 Vref - 1 Vthd |)2= k(Vdata-Vref)2; 其中, Kd为与工艺和驱动设计有关的常数。
由此可见驱动电流大小只与数据电压 Vdata和固定电压 Vref大小有关, 和驱动晶体管 TDTFT的阈值电压 |Vthd|没有关系了, 同时该像素电路也克服 了内阻对发光电流的影响。
此时像素电路的部分等效电路图可如附图 9所示。
通过以上阶段即完成了一行像素发光的驱动和触控的判断。

同时, 本发明提供的像素电路中还设置有触摸信号侦测电路, 该触摸侦 测电路复用了 AMOLED发光驱动电路中的控制信号, 对触摸侦测电路中的 耦合电容进行充电, 并利用放大管晶体管 ( Amplify TFT, 即 ATFT) 对触摸 屏幕产生的触摸信号进行放大, 在不增加电路结构和操作复杂性的同时, 很 好的实现了触摸电路在面板上集成, 从而可实现内置型触摸屏和有机发光二 极管驱动显示的一体化, 有利于降低显示面板的厚度和重量, 并可降低显示 面板的成本。
另外, 本发明提供的像素电路还可以设置有用于消除有机发光二极管 OLED发光层界面处未复合载流子的第四晶体管 T4, 在第一扫描线开启的同 时使有机发光二极管 OLED的阳极短接到第二电平输入端例如 VSS, 从而可 消除有机发光二极管 OLED内部发光层界面累积的未复合的载流子, 减小有 机发光二极管 OLED由于电荷累积的形成的内建电场, 延缓有机发光二极管 OLED的老化。
需指出的是, 本发明实施例所提供的像素电路可适用于非晶硅、 多晶硅、 氧化物等工艺的薄膜晶体管。 同时, 尽管上述实施例中, 以单一采用 P型薄 膜晶体管为例进行了说明, 然而, 上述电路还可以轻易的改成采用单一的 N 型薄膜晶体管或 CMOS管电路; 此外, 还可以将触控功能部分去掉, 将该驱 动触控电路改为纯粹的像素发光驱动电路。 而且, 尽管上述实施例中以有源 矩阵有机发光二极管为例进行了说明, 然而本发明不限于使用有源矩阵有机 发光二极管的显示装置,也可以应用于使用其他各种发光二极管的显示装置。 以上所述仅是本发明的实施方式, 应当指出, 对于本技术领域的普通技 术人员来说, 在不脱离本发明原理的前提下, 还可以作出若千改进和润饰, 这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
