需要说明的是,本公开实施例中所有使用“第一”和“第二”的表述均是为了区分两个相同名称非相同的实体或者非相同的参量,可见“第一”“第二”仅为了表述的方便,不应理解为对本公开实施例的限定,后续实施例对此不再一一说明。
在实际应用中,本公开的发明人发现,现有的像素电路具有如下问题:DTFT的磁滞特性和漏电流不能完全满足显示画面质量的需求,使得显示画面出现残像现象或对比度低的问题。
本公开的发明人对现有像素电路进行分析,由于LTPS(Low Temperature Poly-silicon,低温多晶硅)TFT具有电子迁移率高,TFT(Thin Film Transistor,薄膜晶体管)响应速度较快等优点,因此,目前像素电路中通常采用由LTPS TFT构成的电路。然而,本公开的发明人在实际应用中发现:LTPS TFT具有磁滞特性差的缺点,从而导致现有像素电路残像现象明显;而LTPS TFT的DTFT(驱动薄膜晶体管)漏电流较大,导致现有像素电路画面对比度低。
本公开的发明人考虑到,Oxide(氧化物)TFT虽然具有较佳磁滞特性,DTFT漏电流小,但是,如果采用由Oxide TFT构成像素电路,则电路响应速度会比较慢,难以满足显示装置高PPI(Pixels Per Inch,每英寸的像素数目)的要求。
基于上述分析,本公开的主要思路为,采用Oxide TFT作为像素电路中用以驱动发光二极管的驱动晶体管,而像素电路中的其它晶体管采用LTPS TFT。这样,一方面Oxide TFT作为驱动发光二极管的驱动晶体管具有较佳磁滞特性,DTFT漏电流小的优点,从而改善发光二极管的残像现象,以及对比度低的问题;另一方面,像素电路中其它晶体管均采用LTPS TFT,具有电子迁移率高,TFT响应速度较快的优点,虽然,像素电路中具有一个响应速度 较慢的Oxide TFT,但由于其它晶体管响应较快,因此,像素电路整体响应仍然具有较快的水平,从而也可以满足显示装置高PPI(Pixels Per Inch,每英寸的像素数目)的要求。
另外,考虑到目前的像素电路为了解决色不均的问题而通常具有晶体管阈值电压补偿的功能,不再是简单的驱动电路结构,因此,电路的整体结构不能简单地将像素电路中的驱动晶体管由LTPS TFT换为Oxide TFT,还需对现有像素电路结构进行相应的改动。
下面结合附图详细介绍本公开的一个实施例的技术方案。
基于上述的思路,本公开的一个实施例提供的一种用于驱动发光二极管发光的像素电路的原理框图,如图1所示,包括:复位充电模块101、写入模块102,以及驱动模块103。
