当第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号,控制第一晶体管T1开启时,第二信号端S2输出的重置控制信号S2(x)通过第一晶体管T1输出至第一电容C1的第一端和第二电容C2的第一端,也就是图4中的n点,对第一电容C1和第二电容C2进行初始化。
在另一些实施例中,如图3(b)所示,在一帧的初始化阶段P1,第一信号端S1、第三信号端S3以及第四信号端S4均输入高电平开启信号。基于此,图2所示的像素电路的等效电路图如图5所示,第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2以及第四晶体管T4均开启,第三晶体管T3截止。
当第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号,控制第一晶体管T1开启时,第二信号端S2输出的重置控制信号S2(x)通过第一晶体管T1输出至第一电容C1的第一端和第二电容C2的第一端,也就是图5中的n点,对第一电容C1和第二电容C2进行初始化。与此同时,当第四信号端S4输入高电平开启信号,控制第四晶体管T4开启时,第一电压端V1输出的重置电压V1(x)通过第四晶体管T4输出至第三晶体管T3的栅极,也就是图5中的g点,对第三晶体管T3进行初始化。在此情况下,为避免发光子电路50发光,第一电压端V1输出的重置电压V1(x)应控制第三晶体管T3截止。
如图3(a)和图3(b)所示,在一帧的补偿阶段P2,第一信号端S1、第三信号端S3输入高电平开启信号,第四信号端S4输入低电平截止信号。基于此,图2所示的像素电路的等效电路图如图4所示,第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2以及第三晶体管T3均开启,第四晶体管T4截止。
当第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号,控制第一晶体管T1开启时,第二信号端S2输出的补偿控制信号S2(y)通过第一晶体管T1输出至补偿子电路20。与此同时,当第三信号端S3输入开启信号,控制第二晶体管T2开启时,第二晶体管T2将第三晶体管T3的栅极和第一极电连接,将g点和s点的电压释放,使得s点的电压为VSS+Voled0,g点的电压为VSS+Voled0+Vth,对驱动子电路30进行阈值电压的补偿。其中,VSS为第二电压端V2的电源电压,Voled0为发光器件不发光时的电压,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压。
在一些实施例中,第二信号端S2输出的重置控制信号S2(x)和补偿控制信号S2(y)相同,在此基础上,若在初始化阶段P1,第四信号端S4不输入高电平开启信号(即,如图3(a)所示,第四信号端S4输入低电平截止信号),这样一来,如图3(a)中的初始化阶段P1和补偿阶段P2可以合并为一个阶段来完成。
如此,在补偿阶段P2结束时,n点的电压为Vref,s点的电压为VSS+Voled0,g点的电压为VSS+Voled0+Vth。Vref为补偿控制信号的电压。
如图3(a)和图3(b)所示,在一帧的数据写入阶段P3,第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号,第三电压端S3和第四电压端S4输入低电平截止信号。基于此,图2所示的像素电路的等效电路图如图6所示,第一晶体管T1以及第三晶体管T3均开启,第二晶体管T2以及第四晶体管T4截止。
当第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号,控制第一晶体管T1开启时,第二信号端S2输出的数据信号S2(z)通过第一晶体管T1输出至第二电容C2并存储至第二电容C2。此时,n点电压跳变到Vdata,跳变量ΔV=Vdata-Vref,g点电压由于C2电容耦合作用,变为VSS+Voled0+Vth+Vdata-Vref。
如此,在补偿阶段P2结束时,n点的电压为Vdata,s点的电压为VSS+Voled0,g点的电压为VSS+Voled0+Vth+Vdata-Vref。Vdata为数据信号的电压。
需要说明的是,当该像素电路应用于显示面板时,位于每行的像素电路的第一信号端S1与一根栅线连接,栅线逐行输入信号,使得在数据写入阶段P3,第一信号端S1输入高电平开启信号。
如图3(a)和图3(b)所示,在一帧的发光阶段P4,第四信号端S4输入高电平开启信号,第三电压端S3和第一信号端S1输入低电平截止信号。基于此,图2所示的像素电路的等效电路图如图7所示,第三晶体管T3以及第四晶体管T4均开启,第一晶体管T1以及第二晶体管T2截止。
当第四信号端S4输入高电平开启信号,控制第四晶体管T4开启时,第一电压端V1输出的电源电压VDD通过第四晶体管T4输入至驱动子电路30。驱动子电路30根据电源电压VDD以及数据信号,生成驱动电流并输入至发光器件L,以驱动发光器件L发光。
在发光阶段P4,g点电压为VSS+Voled0+Vth+Vdata-Vref,s点电压为VSS+Voled。其中,Voled是发光器件发光时的电压。
第三晶体管T3开启后,当第三晶体管T3的栅-源电压Vgs减去第三晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth得到的值小于等于第三晶体管T3的漏-源电压Vds时,即Vgs-Vth≤Vds时,第三晶体管T3能够处于饱和开启状态。此时,流过第三晶体管T3的驱动电流I为:
Figure PCTCN2018100818-appb-000001
其中,K=W/L×C×u,W/L为驱动晶体管Td的宽长比,C为沟道绝缘层的介电常数,u为沟道载流子迁移率。
由此可知,流过第三晶体管T3的驱动电流I只与第三晶体管T3的结构、第二信号端S2输出的数据信号和第二信号端S2输出的补偿控制信号有关,与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth无关,从而消除了第三晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth对发光器件L发光亮度的影响,提高了发光器件L亮度的均一性。此外,由于第三晶体管T3的驱动电流与VSS无关,因此可以解决VSS线上压降影响造成的显示不均匀的问题,而第三晶体管T3的驱动电流与Voled0-Voled有关,可以在一定程度上补偿发光器件L老化带来的显示不均匀的问题。
图8为本公开一些实施例提供的像素电路在进行仿真实验后的仿真效果图。从图8可以看出,在Vth不同时,例如Vth=1v和Vth=2v,发光电流相同。由此可知,本公开一些实施例提供的像素电路很好的补偿了第三晶体管T3的Vth不均匀性。
