附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本公开实施例中的技术方案，下面将对实施例的附图作简单地介绍，显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅涉及本公开的一些实施例，而非对本公开的限制。

具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本公开实施例的附图，对本公开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公开的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例，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，都属于本公开保护的范围。
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公开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。
需要说明的是，本公开的实施例中采用的晶体管均可以为薄膜晶体管或场效应晶体管或其他特性相同的开关器件，本公开的实施例中均以薄膜晶体管为例进行说明。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，为了区分晶体管除栅极之外的两极，直接描述了其中一极为第一极，另一极为第二极。此外，本公开实施例所采用的开关晶体管可以包括P型开关晶体管和N型开关晶体管中的任一种，其中，P型开关晶体管在栅极为低电平时导通，在栅极为高电平时截止，N型开关晶体管在栅极为高电平时导通，在栅极为低电平时截止。
在一种像素电路中，如图1所示，该像素电路由一个驱动晶体管M0，一个开关晶体管M和一个存储电容Cs组成。当扫描线Scan选择某一行时，扫描线Scan输入低电平信号，P型的开关晶体管M导通，数据线Data上的电压写入存储电容Cs；当该行扫描结束后，扫描线Scan输入的信号变为高电平，P型的开关晶体管M关断，存储电容Cs存储的栅极电压使驱动晶体管M0产生电流来驱动OLED，保证OLED在一帧内持续发光。其中，驱动晶体管M0的饱和电流公式为I OLED＝K(Vsg-Vth) 2，由于工艺制程和器件老化等原因，驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth可能会发生漂移，并且由于电流与电源电压相关，由于压降(IR Drop)原因，驱动晶体管的源极电压Vs也会不同，这样就导致流过每个OLED的电流因驱动晶体管的阈值电压Vth和驱动晶体管的源极电压的变化而变化，从而导致图像亮度不均匀。
本公开至少一实施例提供一种像素电路，其包括数据写入电路、补偿控制电路、第一存储电路、第二存储电路、发光控制电路和驱动电路。本公开至少一实施例还提供对应于该像素电路的驱动方法、显示面板以及显示装置。
本公开的实施例提供的像素电路、显示面板、显示装置以及驱动方法， 可以使像素电路中的驱动电路输出的电流仅与数据信号端的数据电压和参考电压有关，而与驱动电路的阈值电压无关，可以避免驱动电路的阈值电压对驱动电路输出的电流的影响，从而使驱动电路输出的电流保持稳定，进而可以提高包括该像素电路的显示装置的显示画面亮度的均匀性。

需要说明的是，在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，第一电源端VDD的电压为高电平电压，第二电源端VSS的电压接地或为低电平电压，以下各实施例与此相同，不再赘述。
例如，图3中所示的像素电路可以具体实现为图4所示的像素电路结构。如图4所示，该像素电路包括驱动晶体管M0、第一开关晶体管M1、 第二开关晶体管M2、第三开关晶体管M3、第一电容C1、第二电容C2和发光元件OLED。该像素电路中的晶体管均以N型晶体管为例进行说明。

在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，第一电容C1在第一节点A的信号和驱动晶体管M0的栅极的信号的共同控制下进行充电；并在第一节点A的信号和驱动晶体管M0的栅极的信号的共同控制下进行放电；以及在驱动晶体管M0的栅极处于浮接状态时，保持第一节点A和驱动晶体管M0的栅极之间的电压差稳定，以将驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth和数据信号端Data输入的数据电压存储于驱动晶体管M0的栅极上。
以上仅是举例说明像素电路中第一存储电路21的具体结构，在具体实施时，第一存储电路21的具体结构不限于本公开的实施例提供的上述结构，还可以是本领域技术人员可知的其他结构，在此不做限定。
例如，如图4所示，第二存储电路22可以实现为第二电容C2。第二电容C2的第一端与第一节点A连接，第二电容C2的第二端与驱动电路6的第二端连接。例如，在驱动电路6实现为驱动晶体管M0时，第二电容C2的第二端可以和驱动晶体管M0的第二极连接。例如，第二电容C2的第二端还可以和发光元件OLED的阳极连接。

在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，由于第一电容C1要长时间保持驱动晶体管M0的栅极与第一节点A之间的电压差稳定，以保证流向发光元件OLED的电流恒定，因此第一电容C1的电容值相对较大。而为了减小空间占用面积，第二电容C2的电容值相对较小。因此，在本公开的一个实施例提供的像素电路中，第一电容C1的电容值可以大于第二电容C2的电容值。
例如，如图4所示，数据写入电路1可以实现为第一开关晶体管M1。第一开关晶体管M1的栅极与第一控制信号端G1连接，第一开关晶体管M1的第一极与数据信号端Data连接，第一开关晶体管M1的第二极与第一节点A连接。
在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，例如第一开关晶体管M1在第一控制信号端G1的控制下处于导通状态时，可以将数据信号端Data的信号提供至第一节点A。
以上仅是举例说明像素电路中数据写入电路1的具体结构，在具体实施时，数据写入电路1的具体结构不限于本公开的实施例提供的上述结构，还可以是本领域技术人员可知的其他结构，在此不做限定。
例如，如图4所示，补偿控制电路4可以实现为第二开关晶体管M2。第二开关晶体管M2的栅极与第二控制信号端G2连接，第二开关晶体管M2的第一极与驱动电路6的控制端连接，第二开关晶体管M2的第二极与驱动电路6的第一端连接。例如，在驱动电路6实现为驱动晶体管M0时，第二开关晶体管M2的第一极可以与驱动晶体管M0的栅极连接，第二开关晶体管M2的第二极可以与驱动晶体管M0的第一极连接。
在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，例如第二开关晶体管M2可以在第二控制信号端G2的控制下，将驱动晶体管M0的栅极与驱动晶体管M0的第一极导通，以控制驱动晶体管M0处于二极管连接状态。
以上仅是举例说明像素电路中补偿控制电路4的具体结构，在具体实施时，补偿控制电路4的具体结构不限于本公开的实施例提供的上述结构，还可以是本领域技术人员可知的其他结构，在此不做限定。

在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，例如第三开关晶体管M3在发光控制信号端EM的控制下，可以将第一电源端VDD的电压提供至驱动晶体管M0的第一极，将驱动晶体管M0的第二极输出的驱动电流输出至例如发光元件OLED以驱动其发光。
以上仅是举例说明像素电路中发光控制电路5的具体结构，在具体实施时，发光控制电路5的具体结构不限于本公开的实施例提供的上述结构，还可以是本领域技术人员可知的其他结构，在此不做限定。
例如，在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，驱动晶体管M0为N型晶体管。需要说明的是，在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，第一开关晶体管M1、第二开关晶体管M2以及第三开关晶体管M3除了可以采用如图4中所示的N型晶体管外，还可以都采用P型晶体管或者可以混合采用P型晶体管和N型晶体管，只需同时将选定类型的晶体管的端口极性按照本公开的实施例中的相应晶体管的端口极性相应连接即可。
较佳地，在具体实施时，在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，如图4所示，驱动晶体管M0和所有开关晶体管M1-M3均为N型晶体管。
在具体实施时，在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，N型开关晶体管在高电位作用下导通，在低电位作用下截止。
下面以图4所示的像素电路为例，结合图5所示的电路时序图对本公开的实施例提供的像素电路的工作原理进行描述。需要说明的是，在以下描述中以1表示高电位，0表示低电位。1和0是逻辑电位，其仅是为了更好的解释本公开的实施例提供的像素电路的工作原理，而不是施加在各开关晶体管的栅极上的电位。
如图4所示，驱动晶体管M0为N型晶体管，所有开关晶体管均为N型晶体管，对应的时序图如图5所示。具体地，选取如图5所示的时序图中的重置与补偿阶段T1、数据写入阶段T2以及发光阶段T3三个阶段进行描述。
在重置与补偿阶段T1，G1＝1，G2＝1，EM＝0。
第一开关晶体管M1、第二开关晶体管M2和驱动晶体管M0均处于导通状态，第三开关晶体管M3处于截止状态。此阶段数据信号端Data的电压为参考电压Vref，从而导通的第一开关晶体管M1将数据信号端Data的参考电压Vref提供至第一节点A，因此第一节点A的电压V A＝Vref，即实现了第一节点A的电压的重置。导通的第二开关晶体管M2可以将驱动晶体管M0的栅极与其第一极导通，使驱动晶体管M0处于二极管连接状态，因此驱动晶体管M0的栅极和源极的电压通过发光元件OLED被释放，即实现了像素电路的重置。发光元件OLED的阳极的电压即驱动晶体管M0的源极的电压Vs为第二电源端VSS的电压V SS和发光元件OLED的阈值电压Voled0之和，即Vs＝V SS+Voled0。由于驱动晶体管M0在该阶段处于二极管连接状态，所以驱动晶体管M0的栅极的电压Vg为驱动晶体管M0的源极的电压加上驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth，即Vg＝V SS+Voled0+Vth，从而可以实现将驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth写入驱动晶体管M0的栅极。
在数据写入阶段T2，G1＝1，G2＝0，EM＝0。第一开关晶体管M1和驱动晶体管M0均处于导通状态，第二开关晶体管M2和第三开关晶体管M3均处于截止状态。例如在此阶段数据信号端Data写入的电压为Vdata，即导通的第一开关晶体管M1将数据信号端Data的电压Vdata提供至第一节点A，因此第一节点A的电压V A由上一阶段的Vref变为Vdata。由于第一电容C1的耦合作用，驱动晶体管M0的栅极的电压Vg变为Vg＝V SS+Voled0+Vth+Vdata-Vref。
在发光阶段T3，G1＝0，G2＝0，EM＝1。第三开关晶体管M3和驱动晶体管M0均处于导通状态，第一开关晶体管M1和第二开关晶体管M2处于截止状态。发光元件OLED开始发光，发光元件OLED的阳极的电压为V SS+Voled，即驱动晶体管M0的源极的电压Vs＝V SS+Voled，Voled为发光器件OLED发光时的电压。在此阶段中，由于第二电容C2的耦合作用，第二电容C2第二端的电压变化会耦合至第二电容C2的第一端即第一节点A，所以第一节点A的电压变为V A＝Vdata+Voled-Voled0。同时又由于第一电容C1的耦合作用，驱动晶体管M0的栅极的电压变为Vg＝V SS+Voled0+Vth+Vdata-Vref+Voled-Voled0＝V SS+Voled+Vth+Vdata-Vref。驱动晶体管M0的第一极电压为第一电源端VDD的电压V DD，驱动晶体 管M0处于饱和状态，根据饱和状态电流特性可知，流过驱动晶体管M0且用于驱动发光元件OLED发光的工作电流I OLED满足公式：
I OLED＝K(Vgs–Vth) 2
＝K(V SS+Voled+Vth+Vdata-Vref-V SS-Voled–Vth) 2
＝K(Vdata-Vref) 2；
其中K为结构参数，相同结构中此数值相对稳定，可以算作常量。从而可以看出发光元件OLED的工作电流I OLED可以不受驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth的影响，且和第二电源端VSS的电压V SS无关，仅与数据信号端Data的数据电压Vdata和参考电压Vref有关，解决了由于工艺制程以及长时间的操作造成的驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth漂移以及压降(IR Drop)对发光元件OLED的工作电流I OLED造成的影响。同时I OLED还和发光元件OLED的阈值电压Voled0和工作电压Voled无关，可以避免由于OLED的老化带来的电流差异，从而改善了面板显示的不均匀性。并且本公开的实施例提供的像素电路仅采用了4个晶体管和2个电容就可以实现对驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth进行补偿，结构比较简单。
并且，当驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth取不同值时，本公开还对上述实施例提供的像素电路在三个阶段进行了仿真模拟，仿真结果如图6所示。当驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth分别为Vth＝1和Vth＝2时，由图6的仿真结果可以看出，流过发光元件OLED的驱动电流基本上是重合的，取图中T3阶段任一时刻如1.2447ms时刻时流过发光元件OLED的工作电流I OLED，当驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth＝1时，I OLED1＝4.842uA；当驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth＝2时，I OLED2＝4.8416uA；I OLED1与I OLED2近似相等，因此可以验证在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中，发光元件OLED的工作电流I OLED可以不受驱动晶体管M0的阈值电压Vth的影响。
本公开的实施例还提供一种驱动方法，该驱动方法可以用于本公开的实施例提供的任一种像素电路，例如如图7所示，该驱动方法包括如下操作步骤。
步骤S701：在重置与补偿阶段，补偿控制电路在第二控制信号端的控制下将驱动电路的控制端与驱动电路的第一端导通；
步骤S702：在数据写入阶段，数据写入电路在第一控制信号端的控制下将数据信号端的信号提供至第一节点；以及
步骤S703：在发光阶段，存储电路保持第一节点与驱动电路的控制端之间的电压差，以及保持第一节点与驱动电路的第二端的电压差；发光控制电路在发光控制信号端的控制下将第一电源端的信号提供至驱动电路；驱动电路输出驱动电流。
需要说明的是，本公开的实施例提供的像素电路的驱动方法的详细描述可以参考关于像素电路的工作原理的相应描述，这里不再赘述。
本公开的实施例提供的像素电路的驱动方法，可以使像素电路中的驱动晶体管驱动发光元件发光的工作电流仅与数据信号端的数据电压和参考电压有关，而与驱动晶体管的阈值电压以及第二电源端的电压无关，可以避免驱动晶体管的阈值电压以及压降对驱动晶体管输出的电流的影响，从而使驱动晶体管输出的电流保持稳定，进而可以提高包括该像素电路的显示装置的显示画面亮度的均匀性。
