具体实施方式
在对本公开实施例进行详细说明之前,先对发明人在实现本公开实施例的过程中发现相关技术中所存在的问题说明如下。
图1表示相关技术中驱动电路的电路结构图。如图1所示,在通过电流源控制工作电流的像素电路中,在显示阶段,驱动晶体管T1的开启程度受电容结构C的控制。当亚像素的灰阶确定之后,流过驱动晶体管的目标电流的电流强度I目标是确定的,而该电流与驱动晶体管的不可调的参数(包括μ、W/L以及Vth)和可调的Vgs满足下面的公式:
I目标=0.5μ*(W/L)*(Vgs-Vth)2
其中:μ为载流子迁移率与驱动晶体管等效电容的乘积,W/L为驱动晶体管的宽长比,Vgs为驱动晶体管的栅源电压差,Vth为驱动晶体管的阈值电压。
因此,要保证OLED在发光阶段按要求亮度发光,则需要为电容结构C充电,使得电容两端的电压差为:
Figure PCTCN2016089922-appb-000001
如图1所示,电容结构的第一端连接到驱动晶体管T1的栅极,第二端连接到T1的源极。同时,利用电流源生成目标电流,并通过电路设计使得状态稳定后该目标电流能够全部流过驱动晶体管。此时,利用驱动晶体管的栅源电压差为电容结构充电,使得充电后的电容结构两端的电压差为目标电压差:
Figure PCTCN2016089922-appb-000002
上述的方式中,可以发现,充电阶段电流源产生的电流的电流强度和I 是相等的。
结合图1所示,相关技术中的驱动电路在充电阶段的工作过程如下所述。
在充电阶段,第一控制节点S1输出低电平信号,第二控制节点S2输出高电平信号,则第一控制节点S1控制的晶体管关断,而第二控制节点S2控制的晶体管导通。
而在充电阶段刚开始时,电容结构C两端压差非常小,使得驱动晶体管T1处于关断状态,此时电流源产生的电流全部流过C所在的通路,此时以相对较大的电流(电流强度等于I目标)对C进行充电。
充电一段时间后,当电容结构两端的电压差达到T1的阈值电压时,此时T1形成沟道,T1所在的通路会分流电流源产生的电流中的一部分,使得流过C所在的通路的电流减小,其电流强度小于I目标。而随着时间的推移,流过C所在的通路的电流的电流强度逐步减小。
而继续充电一段时间之后会达到稳定状态,电容结构两端的电压差维持在目标电压差,充电阶段电流源产生的电流全部流过驱动晶体管,流过C所在的通路的电流的电流强度为0。
通过以上过程可以发现,充电阶段可以分为3个阶段:
起始阶段,电容结构C两端压差小于阈值电压,此时充电电流的电流强度等于工作电流的电流强度I目标
中间阶段,电容结构C两端压差大于或等于阈值电压,此时充电电流的电流强度从最大值(I目标)逐步降低;
稳定阶段,电容结构C两端压差稳定在目标电压差,充电电流的电流强度接近0。
可以发现,图1所示的充电电路从整个充电阶段来看,电容结构的充电电流的电流强度的变化如下:维持最大值(I目标)一段时间,然后从最大值逐步降低,最后进入稳定状态,电流强度接近0。
电容结构的充电效率同时取决于充电信号的电压和电流强度,而图1所示的充电电路中,充电信号的电流强度是从I目标逐步下降的。当I目标较小时, 充电信号的电流强度更小,使得充电速度太慢。而高分辨率显示面板中,分配给每一个像素的充电时间是非常有限的,因此上述的方式无法满足高分辨率显示面板的要求。即使在能够满足要求的显示面板中,也会减小有效显示时间,降低显示效果。
发明人通过创造性劳动发现相关技术中的驱动电路存在上述的问题,为解决上述问题,本公开实施例提供一种像素驱动电路、显示设备和像素驱动方法,以在满足电容结构的两端电压差需求的同时,可以较大的充电电流进行充电,缩短了充电时间,使得本公开实施例可以应用于高分辨率面板。而在应用于较低分辨率的产品时,能够提高显示效果。
为使本公开的实施例要解决的技术问题、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图及具体实施例进行详细描述。
本公开至少一些实施例提供了一种像素驱动电路,用于驱动像素结构中的发光器件,所述像素驱动电路的部分结构如图2所示,包括:与发光器件串联的驱动晶体管T1、电容结构C、以及至少包括一电流源的充电电路。

在图2中,发光器件使用虚线框是表示发光器件的可能位置,而不是表示两个发光器件。在后续的附图及说明中,如果无特别说明,以发光器件设置于T1的漏极和第二电源信号输入端子VSS之间为例进行说明。

所述目标电流为:所述发光器件在发光阶段以设定亮度发光时,流过所述驱动晶体管T1的电流。
电容结构C的充电速度和充电电流密切相关,相关技术中,充电电流的电流强度小于目标电流的电流强度I目标,当I目标很小时(如像素结构对应的目标灰度很小的时候),需要的充电时间非常长,无法适用于分辨率较高的产品,或者会减小有效显示时间。
本公开至少一些实施例中,利用充电电路进行充电后,电容结构两端的电压差为目标电压差,能够确保发光器件以正确的亮度发光。而相对于相关技术中的充电电流的电流强度从I目标开始下降的方式而言,本公开实施例中,充电电路在充电阶段的一段时间内充电电流大于目标电流的电流强度I目标,也就是说,本公开具体实施例中,充电电流的电流强度从大于I目标的电流强度开始下降,加大了充电电流的电流强度,因此能够缩短充电时间,使之可以应用于高分辨率面板。而在应用于较低分辨率的产品时,由于缩短了充电时间,因此可以在一帧时间内可以有更多的时间用于显示,提高了显示效果。
参考图1可以发现,相关技术中,在充电阶段,电流源产生的电流会分配给两条支路,即:T1所在的支路,以及C所在的支路。
而最终电流源产生的电流会全部流过T1所在的支路,考虑到电容充电,所以电流源产生的电流的电流强度只能是I目标
本公开至少一些实施例中,设置电流源产生的电流的电流强度大于I目标,同时设置一个与T1并联的电流控制晶体管T2。电流控制晶体管T2与电容结构的连接方式和驱动晶体管与电容结构的连接方式相同。在充电阶段的后半段,由该电流控制晶体管T2分担电流源产生的电流中大于I目标的部分。
而在充电初期,由于电容结构两端的压差较小,T1和T2均处于关断状态,此时电流源产生的电流强度大于I目标的电流全部流过C所在的支路,以较大的电流对电容结构进行充电。
本公开至少一些实施例提供了一种像素驱动电路,用于驱动像素结构中的发光器件,所述像素驱动电路包括:与发光器件串联的驱动晶体管T1、电容结构C和充电电路。
驱动晶体管T1的漏极与第一电源信号输入端子(VDD)连接。
电容结构C的第一端和所述驱动晶体管T1的栅极连接,第二端和所述驱动晶体管T1的源极连接。
所述充电电路如图3所示,包括:至少一个和所述驱动晶体管T1并联的电流控制晶体管T2、用于生成电流强度大于I目标的电流源和控制单元(图中未示出)。
电流控制晶体管T2的栅极和所述电容结构C的第一端连接,源极和所述电容结构C的第二端连接。
电流源设置于第二电源信号输入端子VSS和与所述驱动晶体管T1的源极、所述电流控制晶体管T2的源极和所述电容结构C的第二端同时连接的第一公共节点N1之间。
控制单元用于在充电阶段控制所述电流控制晶体管T2和电流源对所述电容结构C充电,在显示阶段控制所述电流控制晶体管T2和电流源停止对所述电容结构C充电。
结合图3对本公开实施例的充电电路的工作过程描述如下。
在充电阶段刚开始时,电容结构C两端压差非常小,使得驱动晶体管T1和电流控制晶体管T2处于关断状态,此时电流源产生的电流全部流过C所在的通路,此时以相对较大的电流(电流强度大于I目标)对C进行充电。
充电一段时间后,当电容结构两端的电压差达到T1和/或T2的阈值电压时,此时T1和/或T2形成沟道,T1和/或T2所在的通路会分流电流源产生的电流中的一部分,使得流过C所在的通路的电流减小,而随着时间的推移,流过C所在的通路的电流的电流强度逐步减小。
而继续充电一段时间之后会达到稳定状态,电容结构两端的电压差维持在目标电压差,充电阶段电流源产生的电流全部流过T1和T2,流过C所在的通路的电流的电流强度为0。
通过以上过程可以发现,充电阶段可以也分为3个阶段:
起始阶段,电容结构C两端压差较小,此时充电电流的电流强度等于电流源产生的电流的电流强度,但大于I目标
中间阶段,电容结构C两端压差逐渐增大,此时充电电流的电流强度从最大值(电流源产生的电流的电流强度)逐步降低;
稳定阶段,电容结构C两端压差稳定在目标电压差,充电电流的电流强度接近0。
与相关技术相比,本公开实施例的驱动电路在起始阶段以电流强度相对较大的充电电流对电容结构进行充电,缩短了起始阶段的持续时间。
而在中间阶段,相关技术的技术方案和本公开实施例的技术方案都是一个充电电流的电流强度逐步下降的过程,但本公开实施例的技术方案是从相对较高的起点(电流源产生的电流的电流强度)开始下降,因此在中间阶段,本公开实施例的充电电路也能够提供平均电流强度较大的充电电流,也能够缩短中间阶段的持续时间。
所以,综合以上比较来看,本公开实施例的技术方案大大缩短了充电阶段中的起始阶段和中间阶段的持续时间,因此缩短了充电时间,使之可以应用于高分辨率面板。而在应用于较低分辨率的产品时,由于缩短了充电时间,因此可以在一帧时间内可以有更多的时间用于显示,提高了显示效果。
在以上的说明中,是以一个电流控制晶体管T2为例进行的说明,当应当理解的是,电流控制晶体管越多,则电流源可以输出更大的电流,从而加快充电速度。
本公开具体实施例中,控制单元需要在充电阶段控制所述电流控制晶体管T2和电流源对所述电容结构C充电,在显示阶段控制所述电流控制晶体管T2和电流源停止对所述电容结构C充电。
在本公开具体实施例中,分别设置两个开关单元来对应控制电流控制晶体管T2和电流源,如图4所示,所述控制单元具体包括:第一开关单元和第二开关单元。
第一开关单元在充电阶段导通,以导通第一电源信号输入端子VDD和所述电流控制晶体管T2的栅极、漏极和所述电容结构C的第一端。第一开关单元在发光阶段关断。
第二开关单元设置于第二电源信号输入端子VSS和所述第一公共节点N1之间,并和所述电流源串联。第二开关单元在充电阶段导通,并在发光阶段关断。
如图4所示,第二开关单元使用虚线框表示第二开关单元既可以设置于 电流源靠近VSS的一端,也可以设置于电流源远离VSS的一端。
本公开具体实施例中,可以通过一个薄膜晶体管实现第一开关单元,也可以使用两个薄膜晶体管来实现第一开关单元。
如图5所示,通过一个薄膜晶体管来实现第一开关单元时,所述第一开关单元具体包括:第一薄膜晶体管M1。第一薄膜晶体管M1在充电阶段导通,并在发光阶段关断。第一薄膜晶体管M1的漏极与所述第一电源信号输入端子VDD连接,源极和与所述电流控制晶体管T2的漏极、栅极和所述电容结构C的第一端同时连接的第二公共节点N2连接。
如图6所示,通过两个薄膜晶体管来实现第一开关单元时,所述第一开关单元具体包括:第二薄膜晶体管M2和第三薄膜晶体管M3。
第二薄膜晶体管M2在充电阶段导通,并在发光阶段关断。第二薄膜晶体管M2的漏极与所述第一电源信号输入端子VDD连接,源极和所述电流控制晶体管T2的漏极连接。
第三薄膜晶体管M3在充电阶段导通,并在发光阶段关断。第三薄膜晶体管M3的漏极与所述第一电源信号输入端子VDD连接,源极和与所述电流控制晶体管T2的栅极和所述电容结构C的第一端同时连接的第三公共节点N3连接。
在本公开具体实施例中,发光器件既可以设置于T1的漏极和VDD之间,也可以设置于T1的源极和VSS之间。
当所述发光器件设置于第二电源信号输入端子VSS和所述第一公共节点N1之间,为了避免充电阶段发光器件以不正确的亮度发光,本公开至少一些实施例的所述像素驱动电路如图7所示,还包括:第三开关单元。
第三开关单元设置于所述第二电源信号输入端子VSS和所述第一公共节点N1之间,与发光器件串联。所述第三开关单元在充电阶段关断,在发光阶段导通。
如图7所示,第三开关单元使用虚线框表示第三开关单元既可以设置于发光器件靠近VSS的一端,也可以设置于发光器件远离VSS的一端。
而当发光器件设置于T1的漏极和VDD之间时,需要额外增加一个第四开关单元,该第四开关单元与发光器件并联,在充电阶段导通,而在发光阶 段关断即可。
以下对本公开具体实施例中,第一、第二和第三开关单元均以N型薄膜晶体管实现时的具体电路为例,对本公开实施例的驱动电路的工作进行详细描述如下。
如图8所示,在充电阶段,第一控制节点S1输出高电平信号,第二控制节点S2输出低电平信号,则第一控制节点S1控制的第二薄膜晶体管M2、第三薄膜晶体管M3、第四薄膜晶体管M4导通,而第二控制节点S2控制的第五薄膜晶体管M5关断。
在充电的起始阶段,T1和T2也是关断的,因此,电流源生成的电流全部流过C,以较大充电电流对C进行充电,直至C两端的压差导通T1和/或T2。
当T1和T2的阈值电压不同时,T1和T2会先后形成沟道,而当T1和T2的阈值电压相同时,T1和T2会同时形成沟通。
当T1和T2形成沟道之后,C两端的电压差继续增大,此时,流过T1的电流的电流强度I1和流过T2的电流的电流强度I2如下:
I1=0.5μ1*(W1/L1)*(Vgs-Vth1)2
I2=0.5μ2*(W2/L2)*(Vgs-Vth2)2
其中:
μ1为T1载流子迁移率与T1等效电容的乘积;
μ2为T2载流子迁移率与T2等效电容的乘积;
W1/L1为T1宽长比;
W2/L2为T2宽长比;
Vgs为T1和T2的栅源电压差,即C两端的电压差;
Vth1为T1的阈值电压;
Vth2为T2的阈值电压。
当C两端的电压差继续增大到目标电压差V目标,进入稳定状态,流过T1的电流的电流强度I1和流过T2的电流的电流强度I2如下:
I1=0.5μ1*(W1/L1)*(V目标-Vth1)2
I2=0.5μ2*(W2/L2)*(V目标-Vth2)2
当T2选定之后,即可计算出处于稳定状态的I2,而I1由发光器件当前帧的显示亮度决定,因此可以决定当前帧的电流源产生的电流的电流强度为稳定状态的I1和I2之和。
而进入到发光阶段之后,第一控制节点S1输出低电平信号,第二控制节点S2输出高电平信号,则第一控制节点S1控制的第二薄膜晶体管M2、第三薄膜晶体管M3、第四薄膜晶体管M4关断,而第二控制节点S2控制的第五薄膜晶体管M5导通。
由于C的维持能力,T1和T2维持状态不变,但由于M2关断,因此T2上无电流流过,而T1开启,流过其电流为:
I1=0.5μ1*(W1/L1)*(V目标-Vth1)2
在下一帧到来之前,维持上述状态,使发光器件以持续稳定发光。
在本公开具体实施例中,上述的发光器件可以是包括OLED在内的任意电流驱动的发光单元。
同时,本公开上述实施例中,以电路并联的方式进行电流分担,确保最终流过驱动晶体管的电流为目标电流。但从之前的描述来看,不管初期的电流多大,这些电流在电容结构充电到一定程度(电容结构两端的电压差等于驱动晶体管的阈值电压)之前,电流都不会流向驱动晶体管所在的分支。
因此,在本公开的一些实施例中,从电流源着手,在充电阶段的起始阶段,电流源生成电流强度大于I目标的电流,而在充电的中间阶段,即电容结构两端的电压差大于驱动晶体管的阈值电压之后,电流源生成电流强度等于I目标的电流。
这种情况下,相对相关技术的技术方案,本公开实施例能够大大缩短起始阶段的持续时间,因此缩短了充电时间,使之可以应用于高分辨率面板。而在应用于较低分辨率的产品时,由于缩短了充电时间,因此可以在一帧时间内可以有更多的时间用于显示,提高了显示效果。
为了更好地实现本公开实施例的目的,本公开实施例还提供了一种显示设备,包括至少一个像素结构,所述像素结构包括发光器件,其中,每一个像素结构还包括上述任意的像素驱动电路,所述发光器件与所述像素驱动电 路中的驱动晶体管的源极或者漏极连接。
为了更好地实现本公开实施例的目的,本公开实施例还提供了一种像素驱动方法,用于驱动像素结构中和驱动晶体管T1串联的发光器件,所述像素驱动方法包括:

本公开实施例中的所采用的晶体管可以为薄膜晶体管或场效应管或其他特性的相同二极管,由于采用的晶体管的源极和漏极是对称的,所以其源极、漏极是没有区别的。
以上实施例中是以N型晶体管进行说明的,栅极输入高电平时,源漏极导通,P型晶体管相反。可以想到的是采用P型晶体管实现是本领域技术人员可以在不付出创造性劳动前提下轻易想到的,因此也是在本公开实施例的保护范围内的。
以上所述仅为本公开的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本公开,凡在本公开的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本公开的保护范围之内。
