电源电压器500产生电源正极电压OVDD和电源负极电压OVSS,并将电源正极电压OVDD和电源负极电压OVSS提供给多个像素100。
电压侦测器600侦测电源电压器500提供给像素100的电源正极电压OVDD是否与一标准电源正极电压相同。若二者相同,则电压侦测器600不产生补偿信号。若二者不相同,则电压侦测器600产生补偿信号,并将该补偿信号提供给时序控制器400。
进一步地,根据本发明的实施例的电压侦测器600包括:减法器610、信号放大器620、噪声滤波器630。
具体地,减法器610用于对侦测到的电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源电极电压作差,以计算出所述补偿信号。这里,当电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源电极电压相同时,补偿信号相当于零,也就是说,减法器610不产生补偿信号。当电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源电极电压不相同时,减法器610对电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源电极电压作差,以产生补偿信号。
信号放大器620对所述补偿信号进行信号放大。噪声滤波器630在减法器610对侦测到的电源正极电压OVDD进行计算之前,先对电源正极电压OVDD进行噪声滤波,以将电源正极电压OVDD中的噪声去除。应当理解的是,噪声滤波器630是一个优选的实施例,作为本发明的其他实施方式,也可以不存在噪声滤波器630。
时序控制器400接收补偿信号,并根据该补偿信号对其产生的扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。
进一步地,根据本发明的实施例的时序控制器400包括:数据处理模块410、补偿模块420。
具体地,数据处理模块410从外部图形控制器(未示出)接收图像信号(诸如R、G和B信号)。数据处理模块410适当处理图像信号,从而产生扫描控制信号和数据控制信号。
补偿模块接收信号放大器620提供的补偿信号,并根据所述补偿信号对数据处理模块410处理成的扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。
扫描驱动器200根据补偿后的扫描控制信号产生补偿扫描电压,并向扫描线G1至Gn施加补偿扫描电压。
数据驱动器300根据补偿后的数据控制信号产生补偿数据电压,并向数据线D1至Dm施加补偿数据电压。
所述补偿扫描电压和所述补偿数据电压用于使像素的亮度始终保持不变,具体将在下面描述。
图2是根据本发明的实施例的像素的电路图。
参照图2,根据本发明的实施例的像素100包括:驱动薄膜晶体管T1、开关薄膜晶体管T2、存储电容器Cst、有机发光二极管OLED。
驱动薄膜晶体管T1的漏极连接有机发光二极管OLED的阳极;驱动薄膜晶体管T1的源极连接到电源电压器500,以接收电源正极电压OVDD;驱动薄膜晶体管T1的栅极连接到开关薄膜晶体管T2的漏极;有机发光二极管OLED的阴极连接到电源电压器500,以接收电源负极电压OVSS;开关薄膜晶体管T2的栅极连接到扫描线Gi(1≤i≤n),且其源极连接到数据线Dj(1≤j≤m);存储电容器Cst连接在驱动薄膜晶体管T1的源极和栅极之间。
有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流为I1=k(Vsg-Vth)2=k(Vs-Vg-Vth)2=k(OVDD-Vg-Vth)2,其中,k为驱动薄膜晶体管T1的本征导电因子,由驱动薄膜晶体管T1本身特性决定,Vth为驱动薄膜晶体管T1的阈值电压,Vs为驱动薄膜晶体管T1的源极电压,其等于电源正极电压OVDD,Vg为驱动薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电压,其与扫描电压和数据电压相关联。
当电压侦测器600侦测到电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压相同时,电压侦测器600不产生补偿信号,此时有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流为第一驱动电流。这里,标准电源正极电压指的是能使有机发光二极管OLED正常工作且驱动电流恒定的电压。
当电压侦测器600侦测到电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压不相同时,电压侦测器600产生补偿信号,此时有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流为第二驱动电流。第二驱动电流与第一驱动电流相等,具体如下描述。
当电压侦测器600侦测到电源正极电压OVDD大于标准电源正极电压时, 电压侦测器600产生第一补偿信号,并将该第一补偿信号提供给时序控制器400。时序控制器400接收第一补偿信号,并根据该第一补偿信号对其产生的扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。扫描驱动器200根据补偿后的扫描控制信号产生第一补偿扫描电压,并向扫描线G1至Gn施加第一补偿扫描电压。数据驱动器300根据补偿后的数据控制信号产生第一补偿数据电压,并向数据线D1至Dm施加第一补偿数据电压。第一补偿数据电压和第一补偿数据电压使驱动薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电压Vg增大,从而栅极电压Vg的增大量抵消电源正极电压OVDD的增大量,进而使有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流保持恒定不变。
当电压侦测器600侦测到电源正极电压OVDD小于标准电源正极电压时,电压侦测器600产生第二补偿信号,并将该第二补偿信号提供给时序控制器400。时序控制器400接收第二补偿信号,并根据该第二补偿信号对其产生的扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。扫描驱动器200根据补偿后的扫描控制信号产生第二补偿扫描电压,并向扫描线G1至Gn施加第二补偿扫描电压。数据驱动器300根据补偿后的数据控制信号产生第而补偿数据电压,并向数据线D1至Dm施加第二补偿数据电压。第二补偿数据电压和第二补偿数据电压使驱动薄膜晶体管T1的栅极电压Vg减小,从而栅极电压Vg的减小量抵消电源正极电压OVDD的减小量,进而使有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流保持恒定不变。
图3是根据本发明的实施例的显示设备的驱动方法的流程图。
参照图3,根据本发明的实施例的显示设备的驱动方法包括步骤S310至步骤S360。
参照图1至图3,在步骤S310中,电压侦测器600侦测电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压是否相同。如果相同,则进行步骤S320;如果不相同,则进行步骤S330至步骤S360。
在步骤S320中,显示设备被正常驱动显示。
在步骤S330中,电压侦测器600对电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压进行作差,以计算出补偿信号。
实现步骤S330的方法包括:
步骤S331:电压侦测器600对侦测到的电源正极电压OVDD进行噪声滤波。作为本发明的另一实施方式,该步骤可以省略。
步骤S332:电压侦测器600对电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压进行作差,以计算出补偿信号。
步骤S333:电压侦测器600对所述补偿信号进行信号放大。
在步骤S340中,时序控制器400根据所述补偿信号对扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。
实现步骤S340的方法包括:
步骤S341:时序控制器400接收外部输入的图像信号,并将图像信号处理成扫描控制信号和数据控制信号。
步骤S342:时序控制器400根据补偿信号对处理成的扫描控制信号和数据控制信号进行补偿。
在步骤S350中,扫描驱动器200根据补偿后的扫描控制信号产生补偿扫描电压,并向像素100提供所述补偿扫描电压。
在步骤S360中,数据驱动器300根据补偿后的数据控制信号产生补偿数据电压,并向像素100提供所述补偿数据电压。
其中,步骤S350中的补偿扫描电压和步骤S360中的补偿数据电压使有机发光二极管OLED在电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压不相同时的驱动电流与有机发光二极管OLED在电源正极电压OVDD与标准电源正极电压相同时的驱动电流相同,从而使有机发光二极管OLED的驱动电流始终恒定不变,发光亮度恒定不变。
综上所述,根据本发明的实施例的显示设备及其驱动方法,消除了因电源正极电压OVDD的变化对有机发光二极管OLED显示亮度的影响,从而提高了显示质量。
虽然已经参照特定实施例示出并描述了本发明,但是本领域的技术人员将理解:在不脱离由权利要求及其等同物限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下,可在此进行形式和细节上的各种变化。
