在相关技术中,有机发光二极管的有机材料层具有一定的厚度。本公开的发明人发现,由于该有机材料层是通过蒸镀形成的,因此很难控制该有机材料层厚度的均匀性。而有机材料层的厚度不均匀将会影响显示的均匀性。另外,在制造用于显示屏的薄膜晶体管的过程中,这些薄膜晶体管也会有不均匀的问题,这也会影响显示的均匀性。在正常高灰阶显示时,由于亮度高,人眼比较难地发现显示不均匀的现象。但是在低灰阶显示时,由于显示的驱动电流比较小,有机材料层厚度的不均匀和薄膜晶体管的不均匀等就会影响显示的均匀性。因此,在相关技术中,OLED显示装置存在显示不均匀的问题。
鉴于此,本公开的实施例提供了一种像素电路,以提高显示装置显示的均匀性。下面结合附图详细描述根据本公开一些实施例的像素电路。
图1是示出根据本公开一个实施例的像素电路的结构图。如图1所示,该像素电路包括像素驱动电路110、模式选择电路120和发光器件130。
该像素驱动电路110被配置为输出驱动电流。例如该像素驱动电路110被配置为根据数据信号输出驱动电流。例如,该驱动电流可以通过模式选择电路120传输到发光器件130以驱动发光器件发光。
该模式选择电路120被配置为根据不同的模式选择信号S mod选择不同的发光模式。
该发光器件130被配置在像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流的驱动下,根据不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。
在一些实施例中,发光模式可以包括第一发光模式、第二发光模式和第三发光模式。在像素驱动电路110被输入相同灰阶数据的情况下,发光器件130在第一发光模式下的发光亮度小于该发光器件130在第二发光模式下的发光亮度,该发光器件130在第二发光模式下的发光亮度小于该发光器件130在第三发光模式下的发光亮度。
在一些实施例中,发光器件可以包括:第一电极结构、第二电极结构和在第一电极结构与第二电极结构之间的功能层。例如,该功能层可以包括发光层。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,模式选择电路可以包括第一开关子电路121和第二开关子电路122。该第一开关子电路121分别与像素驱动电路110和第一电极结构电连接。该第一开关子电路121可以被配置为响应于不同的模式选择信号执行不同的第一导通模式。这里,第一导通模式为第一开关子电路导通时的连接状态。该第二开关子电路122分别与第一电压端和第二电极结构(图1中未示出)电连接。该第二开关子电路122可以被配置为响应于不同的模式选择信号执行不同的第二导通模式。这里,第二导通模式为第二开关子电路导通时的连接状态。模式选择电路120可以被配置为根据第一导通模式和第二导通模式确定发光模式。例如,模式选择电路在不同的第一导通模式和不同的第二导通模式下确定不同的发光模式。
至此,提供了根据本公开一些实施例的像素电路。在该像素电路中,像素驱动电路输出驱动电流;模式选择电路根据不同的模式选择信号选择不同的发光模式;发光器件在驱动电流的驱动下,根据不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。这样,虽然在显示装置的不同的像素电路中可能存在有机材料层厚度不均匀和薄膜晶体管不均匀的问题,但是由于不同的像素电路可以按照不同的发光模式发光,因此可以使得不同像素电路的发光亮度尽量均匀,从而提高显示装置显示的均匀性。例如,可以提高低灰阶显示的均匀性。
在一些实施例中,显示面板包括多个像素电路。所述多个像素电路中的至少部分像素电路可以接收同一模式选择信号。例如,在该显示面板的部分区域中的像素电路可以接收同一模式选择信号,或者,该显示面板的所述多个像素电路可以接收同一模式选择信号。
在一些实施例中,发光器件的第一电极结构和第二电极结构中的至少一个包括间隔开的多个电极。例如,该第一电极结构可以包括间隔开的多个第一电极。例如,该第二电极结构可以包括间隔开的多个第二电极。
图2是示出根据本公开一个实施例的发光器件的截面示意图。
如图2所示,该发光器件可以包括:间隔开的多个第一电极210(作为第一电极结构)、间隔开的多个第二电极220(作为第二电极结构)和在该多个第一电极210和该多个第二电极220之间的功能层230。该功能层230至少包括发光层。例如,该功能层还可以包括电子传输层、空穴传输层、电子阻挡层和空穴阻挡层等。
如图2所示,该发光器件可以设置在初始结构层240上。例如,该初始结构层240可以包括基板。又例如,该初始结构层还可以包括在基板上的用于薄膜晶体管的结构 层等。又例如,该初始结构层还可以包括与薄膜晶体管电连接的阳极层等。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,所述多个第一电极210可以包括第一子电极211和第二子电极212。所述多个第二电极220可以包括第三子电极223和第四子电极224。第一子电极211在初始结构层240上的正投影与第三子电极223在该初始结构层240上的正投影至少部分重合。第二子电极212在初始结构层240上的正投影与第四子电极224在该初始结构层240上的正投影至少部分重合。例如,第一电极为阴极,第二电极为阳极。这样,图2示出了具有双阴极和双阳极的发光器件。该双阴极和双阳极分别均匀地分布在功能层230上。
需要说明的是,图2所示的发光器件的第一电极结构包括两个子电极,第二电极结构也包括两个子电极。但是,本公开实施例的第一电极结构和第二电极结构所分别包括的子电极的数量并不仅限于此。例如,第一电极结构和第二电极结构可以分别包括多于两个的子电极。又例如,这两个电极结构中的一个包括一个子电极,另一个包括两个或更多个子电极。
在一些实施例中,对于不同的发光模式,可以选择不同的第一电极和不同的第二电极用于传输驱动电流,从而使得发光器件的发光层发光。对于不同的发光模式,发光器件被驱动发光的面积是不同的。
例如,对于第一发光模式,可以选择第一子电极211和第四子电极224用于传输驱动电流,或者选择第二子电极212和第三子电极223用于传输驱动电流。对于第二发光模式,可以选择第一子电极211和第三子电极223用于传输驱动电流,或者选择第二子电极212和第四子电极224用于传输驱动电流。对于第三发光模式,可以选择第一子电极211、第二子电极212、第三子电极223和第四子电极224均用于传输驱动电流。
在这样的情况下,可以使得发光器件在不同发光模式下被驱动发光的面积满足条件:S1<S2<S3,其中,S1为发光器件在第一发光模式下被驱动发光的面积,S2为发光器件在第二发光模式下被驱动发光的面积,S3为发光器件在第三发光模式下被驱动发光的面积。这样可以使得发光器件在不同发光模式下的发光亮度满足条件:L1<L2<L3,其中,L1为发光器件在第一发光模式下的发光亮度,L2为发光器件在第二发光模式下的发光亮度,L3为发光器件在第三发光模式下的发光亮度。
在上述实施例中,通过选择不同的发光模式可以使得发光器件按照不同的发光面积进行发光。例如,在低灰阶显示时,可以使得发光器件选择较小的发光面积。在这 样的情况下,可以使用较大的驱动电流来驱动发光器件发出低亮度的光。这样,有利于对驱动电流实现精确控制,尽量避免在相关技术中由于低灰阶显示时电流较小而导致的显示均匀性问题。
图3是示出根据本公开一个实施例的发光器件的俯视图。其中,图2所示的发光器件的截面示意图可以是沿着图3中的线A-A'截取的结构的截面示意图。
图3示出了第一子电极211和第二子电极212的示例性的形状。该第一子电极211和第二子电极212可以分别具有互相交叉的部分。例如,如图3所示,第一子电极211和第二子电极212均具有梳状结构,且第一子电极211的梳状结构的梳齿与第二子电极212的梳状结构的梳齿交叉设置。这样可以使得第一子电极211和第二子电极212分布地更加均匀。在一些实施例中,在与功能层的延展方向相平行的方向上,第一子电极的面积和第二子电极的面积相等。这样方便控制发光器件的发光面积。
在一些实施例中,第三子电极223可以具有与第一子电极211相同的形状,第四子电极224可以具有与第二子电极212相同的形状。例如,与图3所示的第一子电极211和第二子电极212类似地,第三子电极223和第四子电极224均具有梳状结构,且第三子电极223的梳状结构的梳齿与第四子电极224的梳状结构的梳齿交叉设置。在一些实施例中,在与功能层的延展方向相平行的方向上,第三子电极的面积和第四子电极的面积相等。这样方便控制发光器件的发光面积。
需要说明的是,图3所示的各个子电极的形状仅是示意性的,本公开实施例的范围并不仅限于此。例如,子电极的形状也可以是圆形或方形等。
图4是示出根据本公开另一个实施例的像素电路的结构图。例如,图4中示出了根据一些实施例的像素驱动电路110、模式选择电路120'和发光器件130的具体电路结构。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,模式选择电路120'可以包括第一开关子电路121'和第二开关子电路122'。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一开关子电路121'可以包括第一开关器件S 1和至少一个第一开关晶体管T 1。第二开关子电路122'可以包括第二开关器件S 2和至少一个第二开关晶体管T 2。模式选择信号S mod可以包括:用于控制第一开关器件的第一控制信号V Ctl1、用于控制第二开关器件的第二控制信号V Ctl2、用于控制所述至少一个第一开关晶体管T 1的第三控制信号V Ctl3和用于控制所述至少一个第二开关晶体管T 2的第四控制信号V Ctl4

在一些实施例中,在发光器件130多个第一电极的任意相邻的两个第一电极之间均设置有一个第一开关晶体管。该第一开关晶体管的第一电极电连接至该任意相邻的两个第一电极的一个第一电极,该第一开关晶体管的第二电极电连接至该任意相邻的两个第一电极的另一个第一电极。例如,如图4所示,在发光器件的第一子电极211和第二子电极212之间设置有一个第一开关晶体管T 1。该第一开关晶体管T 1的第一电极与发光器件的第一子电极211电连接,该第一开关晶体管T 1的第二电极与发光器件的第二子电极212电连接。第一开关晶体管T 1的栅极被配置为接收第三控制信号V Ctl3
需要说明的是,图4所示的发光器件130具有两个第一电极,这样在这两个第一电极之间设置有一个第一开关晶体管即可。但是,本公开的实施例并不仅限于此。例如,在发光器件具有多于两个第一电极(例如三个第一电极)的情况下,可以在任意相邻的两个第一电极之间均设置有一个第一开关晶体管,每个第一开关晶体管受相应的第三控制信号的控制。
如图4所示,第二开关器件S 2的第一连接端411与第一电压端(例如公共接地端)501电连接。该第二开关器件S 2的多个第二连接端与发光器件130的多个第二电极一一对应地电连接。例如,该第二开关器件S 2的多个第二连接端可以包括两个第二连接端421和422。该第二开关器件S 2的一个第二连接端421与发光器件的第三子电极223电连接,该第二开关器件S 2的另一个第二连接端422与发光器件的第四子电极224电连接。该第二开关器件S 2的控制端430被配置为接收第二控制信号V Ctl2。该第二开关器件S 2被配置为响应于第二控制信号V Ctl2,将该第二开关器件的第一连接端411与该第二开关器件的多个第二连接端中的一个连接。例如,第二开关器件S 2将其第一连接端411与其一个第二连接端421连接。又例如,第二开关器件S 2将其第一连接端411与其另一个第二连接端422连接。

需要说明的是,图4所示的发光器件130具有两个第二电极,这样在这两个第二电极之间设置有一个第二开关晶体管即可。但是,本公开的实施例并不仅限于此。例如,在发光器件具有多于两个第二电极(例如三个第二电极)的情况下,可以在任意相邻的两个第二电极之间均设置有一个第二开关晶体管,每个第二开关晶体管受相应的第四控制信号的控制。
在一些实施例中,第一开关晶体管T 1的导电类型和第二开关晶体管T 2的导电类型相同。例如,第一开关晶体管T 1和第二开关晶体管T 2均为PMOS晶体管或均为NMOS晶体管。在这样的情况下,第三控制信号V Ctl3可以与第四控制信号V Ctl4相同。这样可以减少控制信号的数量。

下面结合图4详细描述根据本公开一些实施例的像素电路的工作过程。
在一些实施例中,在具有第一电平的第一控制信号V Ctl1的控制下,第一开关器件S 1的第一连接端311与一个第二连接端321连接,以及在具有第二电平的第二控制信号V Ctl2的控制下,第二开关器件S 2的第一连接端411与一个第二连接端421连接。这样,第一开关子电路121'执行具有第一种连接状态的第一导通模式,第二开关子电路122'执行具有第一种连接状态的第二导通模式。像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、功能层和第三子电极223,从而使得发光器件130在第二发光模式下发出具有中等亮度L2的光。
在另一些实施例中,在具有第三电平的第一控制信号V Ctl1的控制下,第一开关器 件S 1的第一连接端311与另一个第二连接端322连接,以及在具有第四电平的第二控制信号V Ctl2的控制下,第二开关器件S 2的第一连接端411与另一个第二连接端422连接。这里,第三电平与第一电平不同,第四电平与第二电平不同。这样,第一开关子电路121'执行具有第二种连接状态的第一导通模式,第二开关子电路122'执行具有第二种连接状态的第二导通模式。像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第二子电极212、功能层和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第二发光模式下发出具有中等亮度L2的光。
在另一些实施例中,在具有第一电平的第一控制信号V Ctl1的控制下,第一开关器件S 1的第一连接端311与所述一个第二连接端321连接,以及在具有第四电平的第二控制信号V Ctl2的控制下,第二开关器件S 2的第一连接端411与所述另一个第二连接端422连接。这样,第一开关子电路121'执行具有第一种连接状态的第一导通模式,第二开关子电路122'执行具有第二种连接状态的第二导通模式。像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、功能层和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第一发光模式下发出具有低亮度L1的光。
在另一些实施例中,在具有第三电平的第一控制信号V Ctl1的控制下,第一开关器件S 1的第一连接端311与所述另一个第二连接端322连接,以及在具有第二电平的第二控制信号V Ctl2的控制下,第二开关器件S 2的第一连接端411与所述一个第二连接端421连接。这样,第一开关子电路121'执行具有第二种连接状态的第一导通模式,第二开关子电路122'执行具有第一种连接状态的第二导通模式。像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第二子电极212、功能层和第三子电极223,从而使得发光器件130在第一发光模式下发出具有低亮度L1的光。
需要说明的是,在上述四种情况下,第一开关晶体管T 1在第三控制信号V Ctl3的控制下截止,第二开关晶体管T 2在第四控制信号V Ctl4的控制下截止。例如,在第一开关晶体管T 1为PMOS晶体管的情况下,该第一开关晶体管T 1在高电平的第三控制信号V Ctl3的控制下截止。当然,本领域技术人员可以理解,第一开关晶体管T 1也可以为NMOS晶体管。又例如,在第二开关晶体管T 2为PMOS晶体管的情况下,该第二开关晶体管T 2在高电平的第四控制信号V Ctl4的控制下截止。当然,本领域技术人员可以理解,第二开关晶体管T 2也可以为NMOS晶体管。
在另一些实施例中,在第一控制信号V Ctl1控制下,第一开关器件S 1的第一连接端311与第二连接端321或322连接,在第二控制信号V Ctl2的控制下,第二开关器件 S 2的第一连接端411与第二连接端421或422连接。第一开关晶体管T 1在第三控制信号V Ctl3(例如低电平的第三控制信号)的控制下导通,第二开关晶体管T 2在第四控制信号V Ctl4(例如低电平的第四控制信号)的控制下导通。像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、第二子电极212、功能层、第三子电极223和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第三发光模式下发出具有高亮度L3的光。
至此,上述像素电路实现了根据不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。这样即使在低灰阶下,也可以使得驱动电流不会很小,从而有利于对驱动电流实现精确控制,尽量避免在相关技术中由于低灰阶显示时电流较小而导致的显示均匀性问题。
图5是示出根据本公开另一个实施例的像素电路的结构图。例如,图5中示出了根据一些实施例的像素驱动电路110、模式选择电路120"和发光器件130的具体电路结构。这里,前面已经详细描述了像素驱动电路110的电路结构,这里不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,如图5所示,模式选择电路120"可以包括第一开关子电路121"和第二开关子电路122"。
在一些实施例中,第一开关子电路121"可以包括多个第三开关晶体管。例如,该多个第三开关晶体管可以包括两个第三开关晶体管T 31和T 32。在一些实施例中,第二开关子电路122"可以包括多个第四开关晶体管。例如,该多个第四开关晶体管可以包括两个第四开关晶体管T 41和T 42。在一些实施例中,第三开关晶体管可以为PMOS晶体管或NMOS晶体管,第四开关晶体管可以为PMOS晶体管或NMOS晶体管。
在一些实施例中,模式选择信号S mod可以包括多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号。例如,图5中示出了用于控制一个第三开关晶体管T 31的第五控制信号V Ctl51和用于控制另一个第三开关晶体管T 32的第五控制信号V Ctl52,图5中还示出了用于控制一个第四开关晶体T 41的第六控制信号V Ctl61和用于控制另一个第四开关晶体管T 42的第六控制信号V Ctl62
在一些实施例中,所述多个第三开关晶体管的多个第一电极与发光器件130的多个第一电极一一对应地电连接。例如,如图5所示,在两个第三开关晶体管中,一个第三开关晶体管T 31的第一电极与发光器件130的第一子电极211电连接,另一个第三开关晶体管T 32的第一电极与发光器件130的第二子电极212电连接。所述多个第三开关晶体管的多个第二电极电连接至像素驱动电路110。例如,如图5所示,两个第三开关晶体管T 31和T 32的第二电极均电连接至像素驱动电路110的驱动晶体管T 0。 每个第三开关晶体管的栅极被配置为接收对应的第五控制信号。例如,如图5所示,所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31的栅极被配置为接收一个第五控制信号V Ctl51,所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32的栅极被配置为接收另一个第五控制信号V Ctl52
在一些实施例中,所述多个第四开关晶体管的多个第一电极与发光器件130的多个第二电极一一对应地电连接。例如,如图5所示,在两个第四开关晶体管中,一个第四开关晶体管T 41的第一电极与发光器件130的第三子电极223电连接,另一个第四开关晶体管T 42的第一电极与发光器件130的第四子电极224电连接。所述多个第四开关晶体管的多个第二电极电连接至第一电压端501。例如,如图5所示,两个第四开关晶体管T 41和T 42的第二电极均电连接至第一电压端(例如公共接地端)501。每个第四开关晶体管的栅极被配置为接收对应的第六控制信号。例如,如图5所示,所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41的栅极被配置为接收一个第六控制信号V Ctl61,所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42的栅极被配置为接收另一个第六控制信号V Ctl62
至此,提供了根据本公开另一些实施例的像素电路的结构。在该像素电路中,第一开关子电路受到多个第五控制信号的控制,第二开关子电路受到多个第六控制信号的控制。在这些第五控制信号和第六控制信号端的控制下,像素电路可以按照不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。这样,对于包括多个像素电路的显示装置,可以使得该多个像素电路中的不同像素电路的发光亮度尽量均匀,从而提高显示装置显示的均匀性,尤其是在低灰阶显示时的均匀性。
图6A是示出根据本公开一个实施例的用于像素电路的控制信号的时序图。图6A示出了在第一发光模式下的用于像素电路的多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的时序图。下面结合图5和图6A详细描述像素电路在多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的控制下按照第一发光模式发光的工作过程。这里,以第三开关晶体管和第四开关晶体管均为PMOS晶体管为例进行描述。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6A所示,在第一阶段t 1,在低电平的所述一个第五控制信号V Ctl51的控制下,所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31导通;在高电平的所述另一个第五控制信号V Ctl52控制下,所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32截止;在高电平的所述一个第六控制信号V Ctl61的控制下,所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41截止;在低电平的所述另一个第六控制信号V Ctl62控制下,所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42导通。由于所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31与发光器件130的第一子电极211电连接且所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42与发光器件130的第四子电极224电连接,因此像素驱动电路110输 出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、功能层和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第一发光模式下发出具有低亮度L1的光。
在另一些实施例中,如图5和图6A所示,在第二阶段t 2,在高电平的所述一个第五控制信号V Ctl51的控制下,所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31截止;在低电平的所述另一个第五控制信号V Ctl52控制下,所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32导通;在低电平的所述一个第六控制信号V Ctl61的控制下,所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41导通;在高电平的所述另一个第六控制信号V Ctl62控制下,所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42截止。由于所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32与发光器件130的第二子电极212电连接且所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41与发光器件130的第三子电极223电连接,因此像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第二子电极212、功能层和第三子电极223,从而使得发光器件130在第一发光模式下发出具有低亮度L1的光。
至此,详细描述了图5所示的像素电路按照第一发光模式发光的工作过程。
图6B是示出根据本公开另一个实施例的用于像素电路的控制信号的时序图。图6B示出了在第二发光模式下的用于像素电路的多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的时序图。下面结合图5和图6B详细描述像素电路在多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的控制下按照第二发光模式发光的工作过程。这里,以第三开关晶体管和第四开关晶体管均为PMOS晶体管为例进行描述。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6B所示,在第三阶段t 3,在低电平的所述一个第五控制信号V Ctl51的控制下,所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31导通;在高电平的所述另一个第五控制信号V Ctl52控制下,所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32截止;在低电平的所述一个第六控制信号V Ctl61的控制下,所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41导通;在高电平的所述另一个第六控制信号V Ctl62控制下,所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42截止。在这样的情况下,像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、功能层和第三子电极223,从而使得发光器件130在第二发光模式下发出具有中等亮度L2的光。
在另一些实施例中,如图5和图6B所示,在第四阶段t 4,在高电平的所述一个第五控制信号V Ctl51的控制下,所述一个第三开关晶体管T 31截止;在低电平的所述另一个第五控制信号V Ctl52控制下,所述另一个第三开关晶体管T 32导通;在高电平的所述一个第六控制信号V Ctl61的控制下,所述一个第四开关晶体管T 41截止;在低电平的所述另一个第六控制信号V Ctl62控制下,所述另一个第四开关晶体管T 42导通。在这样 的情况下,像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第二子电极212、功能层和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第二发光模式下发出具有中等亮度L2的光。
至此,详细描述了图5所示的像素电路按照第二发光模式发光的工作过程。
图6C是示出根据本公开另一个实施例的用于像素电路的控制信号的时序图。图6C示出了在第三发光模式下的用于像素电路的多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的时序图。下面结合图5和图6C详细描述像素电路在多个第五控制信号和多个第六控制信号的控制下按照第三发光模式发光的工作过程。这里,以第三开关晶体管和第四开关晶体管均为PMOS晶体管为例进行描述。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6C所示,在第五阶段t 5,第五控制信号V Ctl51和V Ctl52、第六控制信号V Ctl61和V Ctl62均为低电平信号。在这些信号的控制下,第三开关晶体管T 31和T 32、以及第四开关晶体管T 41和T 42均导通。因此,像素驱动电路110输出的驱动电流会流过发光器件130的第一子电极211、第二子电极212、功能层、第三子电极223和第四子电极224,从而使得发光器件130在第三发光模式下发出具有高亮度L3的光。
至此,详细描述了图5所示的像素电路按照第三发光模式发光的工作过程。
在本公开的一些实施例中,所使用的控制信号(例如,第一控制信号、第二控制信号、第三控制信号、第四控制信号、第五控制信号和第六控制信号)都可以通过时序控制器统一控制。该时序控制器可以在分析需要显示的灰阶数据后控制模式选择电路选择所需要的发光模式。
在相关技术中,由于OLED(作为发光器件)的发光材料包括有机材料,OLED在被驱动电流长时间驱动发光的情况下,有机材料会迅速衰减,导致亮度下降,OLED的寿命也减小。但是按照本公开实施例的上述控制信号对发光器件实现间歇式驱动,则可以减缓发光器件的衰减速度,延长使用寿命。
另外,在相关技术中,由于驱动晶体管的阈值电压的漂移和不同RGB(红色、绿色、蓝色)子像素(每个子像素包括一个像素电路)的有机材料的衰减速率不同,不同的像素电路在使用一段时间后,很容易出现亮度不一致的问题。显示装置在长时间固定显示一个画面的情况下,由于在显示该画面的不同部分时像素电路的驱动电流不同,而且不同OLED的衰减速率也不同,因此可能会出现显示不均或图像残留的问题。而本公开实施例的像素电路可以减缓发光器件的衰减速度,从而减弱了不同颜色子像 素的发光材料衰减的不一致性,进而可以改善显示装置的显示效果。
在本公开的一些实施例中,还提供了一种显示装置。该显示装置可以包括多个如前所述的像素电路(例如如图1、图4或图5所示的像素电路)。例如,该显示装置可以为:显示面板、显示屏、显示器、手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、电视机或导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
图8是示出根据本公开一个实施例的显示装置的结构图。如图8所示,该显示装置可以包括多个像素电路811、812和813。
在一些实施例中,如图8所示,该显示装置还可以包括时序控制器820。该时序控制器820被配置向所述多个像素电路提供模式选择信号。
图7是示出根据本公开一个实施例的用于像素电路的控制方法的流程图。该像素电路可以包括像素驱动电路、模式选择电路和发光器件。如图7所示,该控制方法可以包括步骤S702至S706。
在步骤S702,像素驱动电路根据数据信号输出驱动电流。
在步骤S704,模式选择电路根据不同的模式选择信号选择不同的发光模式。
在步骤S706,发光器件在驱动电流的驱动下,根据不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。
在一些实施例中,发光模式可以包括第一发光模式、第二发光模式和第三发光模式。在像素驱动电路被输入相同灰阶数据的情况下,发光器件在第一发光模式下的发光亮度小于该发光器件在第二发光模式下的发光亮度,该发光器件在第二发光模式下的发光亮度小于该发光器件在第三发光模式下的发光亮度。
至此,提供了根据本公开一些实施例的用于像素电路的控制方法。在该控制方法中,像素驱动电路根据数据信号输出驱动电流,模式选择电路根据不同的模式选择信号选择不同的发光模式,以及发光器件在驱动电流的驱动下根据不同的发光模式发出不同亮度的光。这样,虽然在显示装置的不同的像素电路中可能存在有机材料层厚度不均匀和薄膜晶体管不均匀的问题,但是由于不同的像素电路可以按照不同的发光模式发光,因此可以使得不同像素电路的发光亮度尽量均匀,从而提高显示装置显示的均匀性。例如,可以提高显示装置在低灰阶显示时的均匀性。
在一些实施例中,发光器件可以包括:间隔开的多个第一电极、间隔开的多个第二电极和在该多个第一电极和该多个第二电极之间的功能层。该功能层至少包括发光层。该发光器件设置在初始结构层上。

在一些实施例中,该步骤S704可以包括:模式选择电路响应于与第一发光模式对应的模式选择信号,控制驱动电流流过第一子电极、功能层和第四子电极,或者控制驱动电流流过第二子电极、功能层和第三子电极。

在另一些实施例中,该步骤S704可以包括:模式选择电路响应于与第三发光模式对应的模式选择信号,控制驱动电流流过第一子电极、第二子电极、功能层、第三子电极和第四子电极。
在一些实施例中,第一开关子电路包括第一开关器件和至少一个第一开关晶体管,第二开关子电路包括第二开关器件和至少一个第二开关晶体管。模式选择信号包括用于控制第一开关器件的第一控制信号、用于控制第二开关器件的第二控制信号、用于控制所述至少一个第一开关晶体管的第三控制信号和用于控制所述至少一个第二开关晶体管的第四控制信号。第一开关器件的第一连接端与像素驱动电路电连接,第一开关器件的多个第二连接端与发光器件的多个第一电极一一对应地电连接,第一开关器件被配置为响应于第一控制信号,将第一开关器件的第一连接端与第一开关器件的多个第二连接端中的一个连接。在所述多个第一电极的任意相邻的两个第一电极之间均设置有一个第一开关晶体管。该第一开关晶体管的第一电极电连接至所述任意相邻的两个第一电极的一个第一电极,该第一开关晶体管的第二电极电连接至所述任意相邻的两个第一电极的另一个第一电极,该第一开关晶体管的栅极被配置为接收第三控制信号。第二开关器件的第一连接端与第一电压端电连接,第二开关器件的多个第二连接端与发光器件的多个第二电极一一对应地电连接,第二开关器件被配置为响应于第二控制信号,将第二开关器件的第一连接端与第二开关器件的多个第二连接端中的一个连接。在所述多个第二电极的任意相邻的两个第二电极之间均设置有一个第二开关晶体管。该第二开关晶体管的第一电极电连接至所述任意相邻的两个第二电极的一个第二电极,该第二开关晶体管的第二电极电连接至所述任意相邻的两个第二电极的 另一个第二电极,该第二开关晶体管的栅极被配置为接收第四控制信号。
例如,该步骤S704可以包括:对第一开关器件施加具有第一电平的第一控制信号使得第一开关器件的第一连接端与第一开关器件的一个第二连接端连接,对第二开关器件施加具有第二电平的第二控制信号使得第二开关器件的第一连接端与第二开关器件的一个第二连接端连接,对第一开关晶体管施加第三控制信号使得第一开关晶体管截止,以及对第二开关晶体管施加第四控制信号使得第二开关晶体管截止。
