Description
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种AMOLED像素驱动电路及驱动方法。
有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Display,OLED)显示装置具有自发光、驱动电压低、发光效率高、响应时间短、清晰度与对比度高、近180°视角、使用温度范围宽,可实现柔性显示与大面积全色显示等诸多优点,被业界公认为是最有发展潜力的显示装置。
OLED显示装置按照驱动方式可以分为无源矩阵型OLED(Passive Matrix OLED,PMOLED)和有源矩阵型OLED(Active Matrix OLED,AMOLED)两大类,即直接寻址和薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)矩阵寻址两类。其中,AMOLED具有呈阵列式排布的像素,属于主动显示类型,发光效能高,通常用作高清晰度的大尺寸显示装置。
AMOLED是电流驱动器件,当有电流流过有机发光二极管时,有机发光二极管发光,且发光亮度由流过有机发光二极管自身的电流决定。大部分已有的集成电路(Integrated Circuit,IC)都只传输电压信号,故AMOLED的像素驱动电路需要完成将电压信号转变为电流信号的任务。
传统的AMOLED像素驱动电路通常为2T1C,即两个薄膜晶体管加一个电容的结构,将电压转换为电流,其中一个薄膜晶体管为开关薄膜晶体管,用于控制数据信号的进入,另一个薄膜晶体管为驱动薄膜晶体管,用于控制通过有机发光二极管的电流,因此驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压的重要性便十分明显,阈值电压的正向或负向漂移都有会使得在相同数据信号下有不同的电流通过有机发光二极管。然而,目前由低温多晶硅或氧化物半导体制作的薄膜晶体管因光照、源漏电极电压应力作用等因素,在使用过程中均会发生阈值电压漂移现象。传统的2T1C电路中,驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压漂移无法通过调节得到改善,因此需要通过添加新的薄膜晶体管或新的信号的方式来减弱阈值电压漂移带来的影响,即使得AMOLED像素驱动电路具有补偿功能。
现有技术中不乏使用传统单栅极薄膜晶体管作为驱动薄膜晶体管的AMOLED像素补偿电路,通过探测驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压,然后根据
阈值电压的漂移程度调整所需输入的数据信号值的大小。这种电路的缺点在于传统单栅极薄膜晶体管在受到电压、光照等应力作用后,阈值电压通常向正向漂移而增大,因此数据信号也要相应增大,以减弱驱动薄膜晶体管阈值电压漂移的影响,而数据信号的增大又进一步加剧了对驱动薄膜晶体管的电压应力,加快了阈值电压漂移,形成恶性循环。
发明内容

本发明的目的还在于提供一种AMOLED像素驱动方法,能够对驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压进行有效补偿,解决由阈值电压漂移导致的流过有机发光二极管的电流不稳定的问题,使有机发光二极管的发光亮度均匀,改善画面的显示效果。

具体地,所述预设电压Vpre为一恒定电压。
具体地,请参阅图2,所述第一扫描信号Scan1、第二扫描信号Scan2、第三扫描信号Scan3、及数据信号Data相组合,先后对应于一预充电阶段1、一阈值电压编程阶段2、及一驱动发光阶段3。在所述预充电阶段1,所述第一扫描信号Scan1提供高电位,所述第二扫描信号Scan2第三扫描信号Scan3、及数据信号Data均提供低电位;在所述阈值电压编程阶段2,所述第一扫描信号Scan1提供低电位,所述第二扫描信号Scan2、第三扫描信号Scan3、及数据信号Data均提供高电位;在所述驱动发光阶段3,所述第一扫描信号Scan1、第二扫描信号Scan2、及数据信号Data均提供低电位,所述第三扫描信号Scan3提供高电位。

根据流过有机发光二极管的电流公式:
I=β(VBG-Vth-VS)2
=β(Vpre-Vpre+Vdata-VOLED)2

T1的顶栅TG1的电压不断下降,第一薄膜晶体管T1和第二薄膜晶体管T2的阈值电压不断上升,当第一薄膜晶体管T1和第二薄膜晶体管T2的阈值电压达到Vth=VBG-Vs时,也即Vth=Vpre-Vdata时,其中VBG为第一薄膜晶体管T1及第二薄膜晶体管T2的底栅电压,Vs为第一薄膜晶体管T1及第二薄膜晶体管T2的源极电压,Vth为第一薄膜晶体管T1和第二薄膜晶体管T2的阈值电压,Vdata为数据信号Data提供的高电位,第一薄膜晶体管T1及第二薄膜晶体管T2的阈值电压不再变化,第一薄膜晶体管T1和第二薄膜晶体管T2的顶栅电压VTG存入电容C1中。
值得注意的是,在该步骤3中,由于双栅极薄膜晶体所受电压与光照的应力对其阈值电压的影响较小,且双栅极薄膜晶体管阈值电压与顶栅电压呈负相关特性,将双栅极薄膜晶体用作驱动薄膜晶体管,能够通过输入预设电压Vpre来指定驱动晶体管的阈值电压,无需通过调整数据信号Data的大小来减弱驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压漂移。
步骤4、进入驱动发光阶段3。

根据流过有机发光二极管的电流公式:
I=β(VBG-Vth-VS)2
=β(Vpre-Vpre+Vdata-VOLED)2
=β(Vdata-VOLED)2
其中,β为一与薄膜晶体管特性有关的常值系数。
可见流过第一薄膜晶体管T1及有机发光二极管D1的电流值与第一薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压Vth无关,补偿了驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压漂移,解决了由阈值电压漂移导致的流过有机发光二极管的电流不稳定的问题,能够使有机发光二极管的发光亮度均匀,改善画面的显示效果。
综上所述,本发明的AMOLED像素驱动电路,采用双栅极薄膜晶体管作为驱动薄膜晶体管,在预充电阶段通过第一扫描信号控制第三薄膜晶体管打开,使第一薄膜晶体管即驱动薄膜晶体管的顶栅、及第二薄膜晶体管
的顶栅及漏极写入电源电压;在阈值电压编程阶段通过第二扫描信号控制第四、第六薄膜晶体管打开,使第一薄膜晶体管和第二薄膜晶体管的顶栅电压降低而阈值电压升高,直至阈值电压提升至Vth=Vpre-Vdata;在驱动发光阶段,第一薄膜晶体管的顶栅电压保持不变,维持其阈值电压仍为Vth=Vpre-Vdata,预设电压控制第一薄膜晶体管打开,使有机发光二极管发光,流过有机发光二极管的电流与第一薄膜晶体管的阈值电压无关,从而能够保证有机发光二极管的发光亮度均匀,改善画面的显示效果;另外,双栅极薄膜晶体所受电压与光照的应力对其阈值电压的影响较小,且双栅极薄膜晶体管阈值电压与顶栅电压呈负相关特性,将双栅极薄膜晶体用作驱动薄膜晶体管,能够通过输入预设电压来指定驱动晶体管的阈值电压,无需通过调整数据信号的大小来减弱驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压漂移。本发明的AMOLED像素驱动方法,能够对驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压进行有效补偿,解决由阈值电压漂移导致的流过有机发光二极管的电流不稳定的问题,使有机发光二极管的发光亮度均匀,改善画面的显示效果。
