具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本发明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本发明的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
除非另外定义,本公开使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本发明所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性,而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样,“一个”、“一”或者“该”等类似词语也不表示数量限制,而是表示存在至少一个。“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同,而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接,而是可以包括电性的连接,不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系,当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后,则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
例如,图1为一种像素电路的结构示意图,图1所示的像素电路为2T1C电路,也即,利用两个TFT(Thin-film transistor,薄膜晶体管)和一个存储电容(C)来实现驱动发光元件EL(例如,OLED)发光的基本功能。
例如,如图1所示,2T1C型像素电路可以包括第一晶体管Q1(即,选择晶体管)、第二晶体管Q2(即,驱动晶体管)以及存储电容C。例如,该 第一晶体管Q1的控制端可以接收扫描信号,第一晶体管Q1的第一端可以电连接到信号线Data以接收数据信号,第一晶体管Q1的第二端可以电连接到第二晶体管Q2的控制端。例如,第二晶体管Q2的第一端可以电连接到第一电源端VDD,例如,第一电源端VDD可以为电压源以输出恒定的正电压,也可以为电流源等;第二晶体管Q2的第二端可以电连接到发光元件EL的第一端(例如,OLED的正极端)。例如,存储电容C的第一端电连接到第二晶体管Q2的第一端以及第一电源端VDD;存储电容C的第二端电连接到第一晶体管Q1的第二端以及第二晶体管Q2的控制端;发光元件EL的第二端(例如,OLED的负极端)电连接到第二电源端VSS,例如,第二电源端VSS可以为接地端。
例如,该2T1C像素电路的驱动方式是将像素的明暗(灰阶)经由两个TFT和存储电容C来控制。在通过扫描线施加扫描信号以导通第一晶体管Q1情况下,数据驱动电路通过信号线送入的数据电压经由第一晶体管Q1对存储电容C充电,由此将数据电压存储在存储电容C中,且该存储的数据电压控制第二晶体管Q2的导通程度,由此控制流过第二晶体管Q2以及驱动发光元件EL(例如,OLED)发光的电流大小,即此电流决定该像素发光的灰阶。
发明人注意到像素电路的工作温度或者发光元件EL或/和晶体管(例如,第二晶体管Q2)的老化程度等因素会影响流过第二晶体管Q2以及驱动发光元件EL(例如,OLED)发光的电流大小,因此使得像素电路的发光亮度偏离预定的亮度数值(例如,高于或低于预定的亮度数值),并由此导致显示图像的质量劣化,进而影响了用户的使用体验。
例如,按照晶体管的特性区分可以将晶体管分为N型和P型晶体管,为了清楚起见,本公开的实施例以晶体管为P型晶体管为例详细阐述了本公开的技术方案,然而本公开的实施例的晶体管不限于P型晶体管,本领域技术人员还可以根据实际需要利用N型晶体管实现本公开中的实施例中的一个或多个晶体管。这些晶体管例如为薄膜晶体管。
本公开的至少一个实施例提供了一种像素电路,该像素电路包括发光器件、驱动电路和补偿电压获取电路。驱动电路配置为驱动发光器件发光;补偿电压获取电路配置为基于发光器件的亮度获取补偿电压,补偿电压被提供给驱动电路。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括上述的像素电路。本公开的至少一个实施例还提供了一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述的像素电路或上述的显示面板。
本公开的至少一个实施例还提供了一种像素电路的驱动方法,该像素电路的驱动方法包括:驱动发光器件发光;基于发光器件的亮度获取补偿电压,补偿电压被提供给驱动电路。
下面通过几个实施例对根据本公开实施例的像素电路及其驱动方法和显示装置进行非限制性的说明,如下面所描述的,在不相互抵触的情况下这些具体实施例中不同特征可以相互组合,从而得到新的实施例,这些实施例也都属于本公开保护的范围。

例如,发光器件1、驱动电路2、补偿电压获取电路30和发光控制电路6的具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,本公开实施例二提供的像素电路100可以实现为如图4A所示的电路。例如,图4B是图4A所示的像素电路100的电路图一种具体实现方式,但图4A所示的电路不限于图4B所示的具体实现方式。
例如,发光器件1可以为LED(Light Emitting Diode,发光二极管)或OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode,有机发光二极管)等电流驱动型发光器件1,但本公开的实施例不限于此。例如,本公开的实施例以发光器件1为OLED为例对本公开的技术方案进行说明,但本公开的发光器件1不限于OLED。例如,如图4A所示,发光器件1的第二端(例如,阴极端)可以与第二电源端VSS连接。例如,第二电源端VSS可以输出恒定的电压,第二电源端VSS例如可以接地,但本公开的实施例不限于此。
例如,如图4A所示,驱动电路2可以包括驱动元件21、发光选择电路22和第一电容C1。例如,如图4A所示,驱动元件21配置为可驱动发光器 件1发光。例如,发光选择电路22配置为可将基础数据信号写入到驱动元件21的控制端。例如,第一电容C1配置为可将基础数据信号保持在驱动元件21的控制端。例如,驱动元件21、发光选择电路22和第一电容C1的具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,如图4A所示,驱动电路2还可以包括第一节点71。例如,如图4A所示,发光选择电路22可以包括第一晶体管Q1。例如,第一晶体管Q1的第一端配置为电连接到信号线Data,第一晶体管Q1的第二端配置为电连接到第一节点71;第一晶体管Q1的控制端配置为电连接到扫描线,扫描线例如可以是栅线(例如,图4B所示的栅线Gate)。例如,如图4B所示,第一晶体管Q1的导通和截止可以由扫描线提供的信号(例如,导通信号或截止信号)进行控制。
例如,如图4A所示,驱动元件21可以包括第二晶体管Q2。例如,第二晶体管Q2的第一端配置为电连接到第一电源端VDD,第一电源端VDD例如可以输出恒定的电压,第一电源端VDD输出的电压例如可以大于第二电源端VSS,但本公开的实施例不限于此。例如,第二晶体管Q2的第二端配置为电连接到发光器件1或发光控制电路6;例如,在像素电路100还包括发光控制电路6的情况下,第二晶体管Q2的第二端配置为电连接到发光控制电路6;又例如,在像素电路100不包括发光控制电路6的情况下,第二晶体管Q2的第二端配置为电连接到发光器件1。例如,第二晶体管Q2的控制端配置为电连接到第一节点71。例如,如图4A所示,第一电容C1的第一端配置为电连接到第一节点71,第一电容C1的第二端配置为电连接到补偿控制电路5。
例如,如图4A所示,在第一晶体管Q1的控制端接收到导通信号(例如,低电平信号)的情况下,信号线Data提供的基础数据信号(例如,VData)可以经由导通的第一晶体管Q1写入到第一节点71(也即,驱动元件21的控制端和第一电容C1的第一端)。例如,第一电容C1配置为可将该基础数据信号保持在驱动元件21的控制端,并可根据实际需求使得驱动元件21处于导通状态。例如,第二晶体管Q2的控制端的电压(例如,VData)可以控制第二晶体管Q2的导通程度,并因此可以控制驱动电路2提供给发光器件1的驱动电流的大小,进而决定该发光器件1的亮度以及该像素电路100发光的灰阶。
例如,如图4A和图4B所示,在像素电路100包括发光控制电路6的情况下,发光控制电路6可以包括第三晶体管Q3。例如,第三晶体管Q3的第二端可以与发光器件1的第一端(例如,阳极端)电连接;第三晶体管Q3的第一端可以与驱动电路2的输出端(即,第二晶体管Q2的第二端电连接)。例如,如图4B所示,第三晶体管Q3的导通和截止可以由发光控制线S1提供的信号进行控制。例如,在发光控制电路6接收到导通信号(例如,低电平信号)的情况下,驱动电路2输出的电信号(例如,电流信号)可以经由导通的发光控制电路6提供给发光器件1,并使得发光器件1发光;在第三晶体管Q3截止时,则不会有驱动电流流过发光器件1,因此发光器件1也不会发光。
例如,下面以像素电路100包括发光控制电路6为例对本实施例的技术方案进行说明,但本实施例的像素电路100还可以不包括发光控制电路6,此时发光器件1的第一端可以直接与驱动电路2的输出端电连接。
例如,本公开实施例提供的像素电路100可以基于发光器件1的亮度、使用补偿电压获取电路30获取补偿电压,下面结合图4A、4B和图5对本公开实施例提供的补偿电压获取电路30做具体说明。

例如,参考信号可以是发光器件1的亮度为目标亮度的情况下亮度检测电路3获取的感光信号,但本公开的实施例不限于此。例如,由于包含该像素电路100的显示器件需要在不同的显示帧显示不同的图像,因此使得发光器件1的目标亮度随时间不断变化,进而使得参考信号随之不断变化。
例如,亮度检测电路3和信号比较电路具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,下面以信号比较电路为电压比较电路4为例对本公开实施例提供的像素电路100进行具体说明,但本公开的实施例不限于此。
例如,图5A是本公开实施例二提供的补偿电压获取电路30的一种示例性结构图。例如,如图5A所示,补偿电压获取电路30包括电压比较电路4和亮度检测电路3。
例如,亮度检测电路3可实现为图5B示出的电路图。例如,如图5B所示,亮度检测电路3可以包括感光元件31和第一电阻R1。例如,感光元件31配置为将入射到感光元件31上的光线转换为感光电流信号,感光元件31例如可以为光敏二极管(PN结)或者晶体管,但本公开的实施例不限于此,只要感光元件31可以将入射到其上的光信号转换为电信号(例如,电流信号)即可。例如,第一电阻R1配置为将感光电流信号转换为感光电压信号,第一电阻R1的具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,如图5B所示,第一电阻R1可以与感光元件31并联,此时第一电阻R1两端的电压差V0-Vgr与感光元件31输出的电流成正比,也即,第一电阻R1两端的电压差V0-Vgr与入射到感光元件31上的光线的强度(即,发光器件1的亮度)成正比。例如,亮度检测电路3的一端(例如,对应于感光元件31正极的一端)可以配置为输出端,亮度检测电路3的另一端(例如,对应于感光元件31负极的一端)可以连接至恒定的电压源Vgr,该恒定的电压源Vgr提供的电压可以为0伏(也即,亮度检测电路3的另一端接地),但本公开的实施例不限于此。因此,图5B示出的亮度检测电路3可以检测发光器件1的亮度,并且可以获取对应于发光器件1的亮度的感光信号V0。例如,第一电阻R1与感光元件31的连接方式不限于并联,根据实际应用需求,第一电阻R1例如还可以与感光元件31串联,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,如图5A所示,该电压比较电路4可以包括第一输入端、第二输入端和信号输出端。例如,第一输入端可以配置为接收参考电压信号。例如,第二输入端可以与亮度检测电路3电连接,并且可以配置为接收感光电压信号。例如,信号输出端可以配置为输出基于参考电压信号和感光电压信号获取的补偿电压。
例如,电压比较电路4的具体设置方式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,电压比较电路4具体可实现为图5C示出的电路图。
例如,如图5C所示,电压比较电路4可以包括第六晶体管Q6、第七晶体管Q7、第八晶体管Q8、第二电阻R2和第三节点73。例如,第六晶体管Q6的第一端可以电连接到第一高压源VH1,第六晶体管Q6的第二端可以电连接到第三节点73,第六晶体管Q6的控制端可以接收参考电压VRef。例如,第七晶体管Q7的第一端可以电连接到第三节点73,第七晶体管Q7的第二端可以电连接到第一低压源VL1,第七晶体管Q7的控制端可以接收感光电压V0。例如,第八晶体管Q8的第一端可以电连接到第二高压源VH2,第八晶体管Q8的第二端可以电连接到第二电阻R2的第一端以及电压比较电路4的输出信号线、第八晶体管Q8的控制端可以电连接到第三节点73。例如,第二电阻R2的第二端可以电连接到第二低压源VL2,第二低压源的电压例如可以为0V(也即,第二电阻R2的第二端接地)。例如,第一高压源VH1的电压值可以高于第一低压源VL1电压值,第二高压源VH2的电压值可以高于第二低压源VL2电压值。例如,第一高压源VH1的电压值、第一低压源VL1电压值、第二高压源VH2的电压值和第二低压源VL2电压值可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,根据晶体管特性可以得到以下公式:
V0-VL1=VRef-Vout1
V1=Ids×R2+VL2
=1/2×K×R2(Vgs-Vth)2+VL2
=1/2×K×R2(Vout1-VH2-Vth)2+VL2
=1/2×K×R2(VRef-V0+VL1-VH2-Vth)2+VL2
这里,Ids为第八晶体管Q8处于饱和状态下输出的电流;K=W/L×C×u,W/L为第八晶体管Q8的沟道的宽长比(即,宽度与长度的比值),u为电子迁移率,C为单位面积的电容,Vth为第八晶体管Q8的阈值。
例如,第一高压源VH1、第二高压源VH2、第一低压源VL1和第二低压源VL2的电压可以预先设定,第八晶体管Q8的阈值Vth可以提前测定。例如,可以根据实际应用需求、将VL1-VH2-Vth和VL2分别设定为零。此时,电压比较电路4输出的补偿电压V1满足以下公式:
V1=r(VRef-V0),r为补偿系数,且r=1/2×K×R2
例如,第八晶体管Q8和第二电阻R2的具体数值可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定,只要可以使得获取的补偿电 压V1可以对发光器件1的发光电路进行补偿(例如,使得补偿后的发光器件的亮度为目标亮度)即可。
例如,在亮度检测电路3输出的感光电压信号V0与参考电压VRef相等的情况下(也即,发光器件1的亮度为目标亮度),电压比较电路4输出的补偿电压V1=0。例如,在亮度检测电路3输出的感光电压信号V0与参考电压VRef不相等的情况下(也即,发光器件1的亮度不等于目标亮度),电压比较电路4输出的补偿电压V1=r(VRef-V0),补偿电压V1可提供给驱动电路2,以实现发光器件1的亮度(即,发光器件1的发光强度)的补偿(例如,实时补偿)。
例如,根据实际应用需求,本公开实施例提供的像素电路100还可以包括补偿控制电路5。例如,补偿控制电路5可以配置为将补偿电压提供给驱动电路2。例如,补偿控制电路5的具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如,补偿控制电路5可以具体实现为图4A所示的电路。
例如,下面将结合图4A和图4B对本公开提供的补偿控制电路5进行具体说明。例如,如图4A所示,该补偿控制电路5可以包括初始电压提供电路51和补偿电压提供电路52。例如,初始电压提供电路51可以配置为将初始电压提供给驱动电路2;补偿电压提供电路52可以配置为将补偿电压提供给驱动电路2。例如,初始电压提供电路51和补偿电压提供电路52的具体形式可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。
例如,如图4A所示,像素电路100还包括第二节点72。例如,第一电容C1的第二端配置为电连接到第二节点72。
例如,如图4A所示,初始电压提供电路51可以包括第四晶体管Q4。例如,第四晶体管Q4的第一端电连接到第三电源端VD1,第三电源端VD1可以提供恒定的电压,该恒定的电压VD1的电压值例如可以为0伏(参见图4B),但本公开的实施例不限于此。例如,第四晶体管Q4的控制端可以电连接到扫描线(例如,栅线)。例如,如图4B所示,第四晶体管Q4的控制端电连接的扫描线以及第一晶体管Q1的控制端电连接的扫描线可以为同一根扫描线,由此可以简化本实施例提供的像素电路100,但本公开的实施例不限于此。例如,第四晶体管Q4的第二端配置为电连接到第二节点72。
例如,在第四晶体管Q4的控制端接收到导通信号(例如,低电平信号) 的情况下,第三电源端VD1提供的例如电压VD1可以写入到第二节点72,也即第一电容C1的第二端。例如,第四晶体管Q4的控制端和第一晶体管Q1的控制端可以同时接收到导通信号,此时,信号线Data提供的基础数据信号(例如,VData)和第三电源端VD1提供的例如电压VD1可以分别写入第一电容C1的第一端和第二端,因此,第一电容C1两端的电压差为VData-VD1,并且该电压差VData-VD1将保存在第一电容C1中。例如,如图4B所示,在第三电源端VD1接地的情况下(VD1=0),保存在第一电容C1两端的电压差为VData。例如,下面以第三电源端VD1接地作为示例对本公开实施例提供的补偿控制电路5进行具体说明,但本公开的实施例不限于此。
例如,如图4A所示,补偿电压提供电路52可以包括第五晶体管Q5。例如,如图4A所示,第五晶体管Q5的第一端电连接到第二节点72,第五晶体管Q5的第二端电连接到信号比较电路的输出端。例如,如图4B所示,第五晶体管Q5的控制端可以电连接到补偿控制线S2。例如,在第五晶体管Q5导通的情况下,信号比较电路的输出的补偿电压V1可以经由导通的第五晶体管Q5以及第一电容C1提供给驱动电路2。
例如,下面将结合图4B和图6对本公开实施例提供的补偿控制电路5的电压补偿功能进行示例性的说明。例如,图6是图4B所示的像素电路的一种示例性的驱动时序图。例如,像素电路100的一个驱动周期(例如,该驱动周期可以对应于包含该像素电路100的显示器件的一个显示周期,也即对应于一帧图像的显示时间)包括充电阶段A和补偿发光阶段B。
例如,在充电阶段A,扫描线例如可以提供低电平、发光控制线S1和补偿控制线S2例如可以提供高电平,此时,第一晶体管Q1和第四晶体管Q4导通,第三晶体管Q3和第五晶体管Q5截止。例如,第四晶体管Q4的第一端的电压可以经由导通的第四晶体管Q4写入到第一电容C1的第二端,在第四晶体管Q4的第一端接地的情况下,第一电容C1第二端电压为0;信号线提供的电压VData可以经由导通的第一晶体管Q1写入到第一节点71(即,第一电容C1第一端和第二晶体管Q2的控制端),此时,第一电容C1两端的电压差为VData,并且该电压差VData保存在第一电容C1中。例如,根据实际应用需求,在充电阶段A,第三晶体管Q3也可以处于导通状态,由此像素电路100在充电阶段A即可获取补偿电压。
例如,补偿发光阶段B,扫描线例如可以提供高电平、发光控制线S1 和补偿控制线S2例如可以提供低电平,此时,第一晶体管Q1和第四晶体管Q4截止、第三晶体管Q3和第五晶体管Q5导通。
例如,补偿发光阶段B,由于第三晶体管Q3导通,因此第二晶体管Q2输出的驱动电信号(例如,驱动电流信号)可以经由导通的第三晶体管Q3提供给发光器件1,并且驱动电流的大小决定者发光器件1的亮度。例如,补偿电压获取电路30可以基于所述发光器件1的亮度获取补偿电压,并将该补偿电压提供给第五晶体管Q5的第二端。
例如,补偿电压获取电路30输出的补偿电压可以经由导通的第五晶体管Q5写入到第一电容C1的第二端,并且由于电容的自举效应,该补偿电压V1可以作为增量写入到第一电容C1的第一端(也即,补偿后的第一电容C1的第一端的电压为VData+V1)。
例如,下面具体说明补偿控制电路5如何将补偿电压V1作为增量写入到第一电容C1的第一端。例如,由于在补偿发光阶段B,第一电容C1的第一端处于浮置状态,因此第一电容C1中存储的电荷量无法发生突变,也即,第一电容C1中存储的电荷量保持不变;对应的,根据电容电荷守恒原理,第一电容C1两端的电压差也保持不变;由于第一电容C1的第二端的电压由0V增加至V1,因此第一电容C1的第一端的电压可以由VData增加至VData+V1,进而补偿控制电路5可以将补偿电压V1可以作为增量写入到第一电容C1的第一端(也即,第二晶体管Q2的控制端)。
例如,由于本实施例提供的像素电路100可以基于发光器件1的亮度获取对应于发光器件1的亮度的感光电压,并将该感光电压例如可以作为增量提供给第二晶体管Q2的控制端,因此可以控制和调整第二晶体管Q2的导通程度,并因此可以调整驱动电路2提供给发光器件1的驱动电流的大小,由此可以调节发光器件1的亮度(例如,可以将发光器件1发光亮度调整为目标亮度)。
例如,本实施例提供的像素电路100可以在补偿发光阶段B获取补偿电压并将所获取的补偿电压提供给驱动电路2。又例如,在第三晶体管Q3在充电阶段A也处于导通状态的情况下,还可以在充电阶段A获取补偿电压并将所获取的补偿电压提供给驱动电路2。
例如,本实施例提供的像素电路100对发光器件1的亮度的补偿频率可以根据实际应用需求进行设定,本公开的实施例对此不做具体限定。例如, 本实施例提供的像素电路100可以在每个驱动周期(或显示周期)的补偿发光阶段对发光器件1的亮度进行实时补偿;又例如,本实施例提供的像素电路100还可以在每个驱动周期的补偿发光阶段对发光器件1的亮度补偿一次;再例如,本实施例提供的像素电路100还可以在每隔预定的驱动周期(例如20个驱动周期)对发光器件1的亮度补偿一次。
例如,本实施例提供的像素电路100实现了亮度补偿功能。
需要说明的是,本公开的实施例一和其它实施例中采用的晶体管可以为薄膜晶体管(例如,多晶硅薄膜晶体管、非晶硅薄膜晶体管、氧化物薄膜晶体管或有机薄膜晶体管)或场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件。这里采用的晶体管的源极、漏极在结构上可以是对称的,所以其源极、漏极在物理结构上可以是没有区别的。在本公开的实施例中,为了区分晶体管除作为控制端的栅极,直接描述了其中一极为第一端,另一极为第二端,所以本公开实施例中全部或部分晶体管的第一端和第二端根据需要是可以互换的。例如,本公开实施例的晶体管的第一端可以为源极,第二端可以为漏极;或者,晶体管的第一端为漏极,第二端为源极。
实施例三:
本实施例提供一种像素电路的驱动方法,该像素电路的驱动方法可应用于本公开实施例提供的任一像素电路中。例如,该像素电路的驱动方法可以包括以下步骤:

例如,驱动发光器件发光的方法可以参见像素电路的实施例,在此不再赘述。
例如,在S200中,基于发光器件的亮度获取补偿电压可以包括以下步骤:
步骤S210:检测发光器件的亮度,以获取对应于发光器件的亮度的感光信号;
步骤S220:将感光信号与参考信号进行对比,以获取补偿电压。
例如,在步骤S210中,检测发光器件的亮度获取的对应于发光器件的亮度的感光信号可以为V0。例如,在步骤S220,将感光信号V0与参考信号 VRef进行对比获取的补偿电压V1=r(VRef-V0),r为补偿系数。例如,检测发光器件的亮度以及获取补偿电压V1的方法可以参见像素电路的实施例,在此不再赘述。
例如,根据实际应用需求,该像素电路的驱动方法还可以包括:控制是否将驱动电路输出的电信号提供给发光器件。例如,控制是否将驱动电路输出的电信号提供给发光器件的具体方法可以参见像素电路的实施例,在此不再赘述。
例如,根据实际应用需求,该像素电路的驱动方法还可以包括:将补偿电压提供给驱动电路。例如,将补偿电压提供给驱动电路的具体方法可以参见像素电路的实施例,在此不再赘述。
例如,由于本实施例提供的像素电路的驱动方法可以基于发光器件的亮度获取对应于发光器件的亮度的感光电压,并将该感光电压例如作为增量提供给驱动电路,因此可以调整驱动电路提供给发光器件的驱动电流的大小,由此可以调节发光器件的亮度(例如,可以实时调节发光器件的亮度)。
实施例四:
本实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板可以包括本公开实施例提供的任意一种像素电路。本实施例还提供了一种显示装置,该显示装置可以包括本公开实施例提供的任意一种像素电路或者本公开实施例提供的任意一种的显示面板。例如,该显示装置可以为:电子纸、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。
需要说明的是,对于该显示面板和显示装置的其它必不可少的组成部分(例如控制装置、图像数据编码/解码装置、行扫描驱动器、列扫描驱动器、时钟电路等)均为本领域的普通技术人员应该理解具有的,在此不做赘述,也不应作为对本公开实施例的限制。
本公开的实施例提供一种像素电路及其驱动方法、显示面板和显示装置,实现了亮度补偿功能。
