Description

像素电路及其驱动方法、显示面板及显示装置 技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示技术领域,具体地,涉及像素电路及其驱动方法、显示面板及显示装置。
背景技术
有源矩阵有机发光二极管(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode,以下简称为AMOLED)显示面板利用各OLED发出不同亮度的光线、使与各OLED对应的各像素显示各自相应的亮度;相对于传统的薄膜晶体管液晶显示(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display,以下简称为TFT LCD)面板,AMOLED显示面板具有更快的反应速度、更高的对比度以及更广大的视角,是显示面板的一个重要的发展方向。
驱动OLED发光的电流可以用以下公式表示:

具体实施方式
以下结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细说明。应当理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施方式仅用于说明和解释本发明,并不用于限制本发明。
本发明提供一种像素电路的实施方式,图1为本发明的实施方式提供的像素电路的结构图。如图1所示,所述像素电路包括:第一充电模块1、存储电容C、第二充电模块2、重置模块3、驱动晶体管T3、发光控制模块4和发光器件5;其中,所述第一充电模块1、第二充电模块2分别与所述存储电容C的两端连接,用于向所述存储电容C的两端充电;所述重置模块3与所述存储电容C的两端连接,用于将所述存储电容C的两端的电压分别重置为其各自的初始电压;所述驱动晶体管T3的控制极与所述存储电容C的与所述第二充电模块2连接的一端(即图1中的右端)连接,第一极与高电压端VDD连接,第二极与所述第二充电模块2连接,用于驱动所述发光器件5发光;所述发光控制模块4连接在所述驱动晶体管T3的第二极与所述发光器件5之间,用于使所述驱动晶体管T3与所述发光器件5之间的连接接通或断开。
在本实施方式提供的像素电路中,重置模块3首先对存储电容C的两端进行重置,使其两端的电压分别为其各自的初始电压;在上述重置过程完成后,第一充电模块1对存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端(即图1中的左端)进行充电,使存储电容C的左端具有第一电压Vdata,第二充电模块2对存储电容C的右端进行充电,使该端的电压为VDD+Vth,其中,VDD为高电压端VDD上的电压,Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压。
在上述过程完成后,第二充电模块2停止向存储电容C的右端充电,使存储电容C处于以下状态:当存储电容C的左端的电压发生变化时,其右端的电压会随之变化。在此情况下,第一充电模块1向存储电容C的左端充电,使存储电容C的左端具有第二电压Vref, 可以理解,这时,存储电容C的右端的电压会相应变化,其电压值应为:VDD+Vth+Vref-Vdata。
在上述过程中,发光控制模块4控制驱动晶体管T3与发光器件5之间的连接断开;而在上述过程结束后,发光控制模块4控制驱动晶体管T3与发光器件5之间的连接接通,这时,由驱动晶体管T3流向发光器件5的电流为:
Figure PCTCN2015076851-appb-000002
上述电流即为驱动发光器件5发光的电流,由上述公式可知,该电流与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth无关,因此,发光器件5在显示过程中的亮度不会因驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth的变化而变动,这样就可以提高发光器件5在显示过程中的发光亮度的稳定性,从而可以提高OLED显示装置的显示效果。
具体地,如图2所示,所述第一充电模块1包括前充电单元10和后充电单元11;所述前充电单元10用于在所述存储电容C被重置后,对存储电容C进行充电,使所述存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端(即图2中的左端)具有第一电压Vdata;所述后充电单元11用于在所述前充电单元10对所述存储电容C充电后,对存储电容C进行充电,使所述存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端具有第二电压Vref。
进一步地,所述前充电单元10包括第四晶体管T4,所述第四晶体管T4的控制极与栅极线Gate连接,第一极与提供所述第一电压Vdata的第一数据线S1连接,第二极与所述存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端连接;所述后充电单元11包括第五晶体管T5,所述第五晶体管T5的控制极与发光控制信号端EM连接,第一极与提供所述第二电压Vref的第二数据线S2连接,第二极与所述存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端连接。
继续参看图2,所述第二充电模块2包括第二晶体管T2;所述第二晶体管T2的控制极与栅极线Gate连接,第一极与所述驱动晶体管T3的第二极连接,第二极与所述存储电容C的与所述第二充电模块2连接的一端(即图2中的右端)连接。
所述重置模块3包括第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7;其中,所述第一晶体管T1的控制极和第一极与复位信号端RESET连接,第二极与所述存储电容C的与所述第二充电模块2连接的一端(即图2中的右端)连接;所述第七晶体管T7的控制极与复位信号端RESET连接,第一极与高电压端VDD连接,第二极与所述存储电容C的与所述第一充电模块1连接的一端(即图2中的左端)连接。
所述发光控制模块4包括第六晶体管T6,所述第六晶体管T6的控制极与发光控制信号端EM连接,第一极与所述驱动晶体管T3的第二极连接,第二极与所述发光器件5连接。发光控制信号端EM向所述第六晶体管T6的控制极输出发光控制信号,以使得通过所述第六晶体管T6对所述驱动晶体管T3与所述发光器件5之间的连接的接通或断开进行控制。
所述发光器件5为OLED;所述OLED的阳极与所述第六晶体管T6的第二极连接,阴极与低电压端VSS连接。
在本实施方式中,需要说明的是,上述各晶体管的控制极是指其栅极,第一极、第二极分别表示其源极和漏极,其中,可以是第一极为源极、第二极为漏极,也可以使第一极为漏极、第二极为源极。
在本实施方式中,各所述晶体管可以为P型管。下面以上述各晶体管为P型管为例,结合图2和图3,对本实施方式提供的像素电路驱动像素发光的原理和过程进行详细描述。
首先,在第一阶段(重置阶段),发光控制信号端EM输出高电平信号,使第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6断开;复位信号端RESET输出低电平信号,使第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7导通;栅极线Gate输出高电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4断开;也就是说,在第一阶段,仅第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7处于导通状态。在此情况下,高电压端VDD经第七晶体管T7向存储电容C 的左端充电,使该端具有电压VDD,复位信号端RESET经第一晶体管T1向存储电容C的右端充电,使该端具有电压VRESET,该电压VDD和VRESET即分别为存储电容C两端的初始电压;另外,上述电压VRESET会在以后的第二阶段使驱动晶体管T3导通。
其次,在第二阶段,发光控制信号端EM输出高电平信号,使第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6断开;复位信号端RESET输出高电平信号,使第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7断开;栅极线Gate输出低电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4导通;也就是说,在第二阶段,仅第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4、以及驱动晶体管T3处于导通状态。在此情况下,第一数据线S1上的电压Vdata经第四晶体管T4输入到存储电容C的左端,使该端具有电压Vdata;高电压端VDD经驱动晶体管T3、第二晶体管T2向存储电容C的右端充电,直至存储电容C右端的电压达到使驱动晶体管T3断开的电压值,根据二极管的特性(驱动晶体管T3和第二晶体管T2形成一个二极管结构)可知,在驱动晶体管T3断开前,存储电容C右端的电压为VDD+Vth。
其后,在第三阶段,发光控制信号端EM输出低电平信号,使第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6导通;复位信号端RESET输出高电平信号,使第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7断开;栅极线Gate输出高电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4断开;也就是,在第三阶段,仅第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6处于导通状态。在此情况下,首先,第二数据线S2上的电压Vref经第五晶体管T5输入到存储电容C的左端,使该端的电压由Vdata变为Vref,而由于存储电容C的右端不与电源连接,因此,存储电容C右端的电压会随着存储电容C左端电压的变化而变化,最终,存储电容C右端的电压值由VDD+Vth变为VDD+Vth+Vref-Vdata。
根据上述,在第三阶段,驱动晶体管T3的栅极(其电位等同于存储电容C的右端的电位)的电压为:VDD+Vth+Vref-Vdata;驱动晶体管T3的源极的电压为VDD;因此,根据驱动晶体管T3的栅极和源极的电压差而产生的驱动电流:
Figure PCTCN2015076851-appb-000003
上述驱动电流经第六晶体管T6输入发光器件5中,驱使发光器件5发光。而由于上述驱动电流与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth无关,因此,发光器件5的发光亮度不会因驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth的变化而变动,这样就可以提高发光器件5在显示过程中的发光亮度的稳定性,从而可以提高OLED显示装置的显示效果。
综上所述,本发明的实施方式提供的像素电路可以避免驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth在显示过程中的变化对发光器件5的发光亮度产生影响,从而有助于发光器件5的发光亮度在显示过程中保持稳定,进而有助于提高显示效果。

在第一阶段将存储电容两端的电压分别重置为其各自的初始电压;
在第二阶段对存储电容的与第一充电模块连接的一端进行充电,使该端具有第一电压,以及对存储电容的与第二充电模块连接的一端充电;和
在第三阶段对存储电容的与第一充电模块连接的一端进行充电,使该端具有第二电压,以及使存储电容的与第二充电模块连接的一端具有预设电压,其中,所述预设电压减去所述驱动晶体管的源极的电压和所述驱动晶体管的阈值电压之后的差值为所述第二电压减去第一电压的差值。
具体地,如上述像素电路的实施方式中所描述的:在各所述晶体管(T1~T7)为P型管的情况下,在第一阶段,发光控制信号端EM输出高电平信号,复位信号端RESET输出低电平信号,栅极线 Gate输出高电平信号;在第二阶段,发光控制信号端EM输出高电平信号,复位信号端RESET输出高电平信号,栅极线Gate输出低电平信号;在第三阶段,发光控制信号端EM输出低电平信号,复位信号端RESET输出高电平信号,栅极线Gate输出高电平信号。
此外,由于在上述像素电路的实施方式中已有了详细描述,上述第一阶段、第二阶段、第三阶段的具体过程不再赘述。
本发明的实施方式提供的驱动方法可以避免驱动晶体管的阈值电压在显示过程中的变化对发光器件的发光亮度产生影响,从而有助于发光器件的发光亮度在显示过程中保持稳定,进而有助于提高显示效果。
