具体实施方式
现在将参考附图更全面地描述示例实施方式。然而,示例实施方式能够以多种形式实施,且不应被理解为限于在此阐述的实施方式;相反,提供这些实施方式使得本公开将全面和完整,并将示例实施方式的构思全面地传达给本领域的技术人员。图中相同的附图标记表示相同或类似的结构,因而将省略它们的详细描述。此外,附图仅为本公开的示意性图解,并非一定是按比例绘制。
虽然本说明书中使用相对性的用语,例如“上”“下”来描述图标的一个组件对于另一组件的相对关系,但是这些术语用于本说明书中仅出于方便,例如根据附图中所述的示例的方向。能理解的是,如果将图标的装置翻转使其上下颠倒,则所叙述在“上”的组件将会成为在“下”的组件。 当某结构在其它结构“上”时,有可能是指某结构一体形成于其它结构上,或指某结构“直接”设置在其它结构上,或指某结构通过另一结构“间接”设置在其它结构上。
用语“一个”、“一”、“该”、“所述”和“至少一个”用以表示存在一个或多个要素/组成部分/等;用语“包括”和“具有”用以表示开放式的包括在内的意思并且是指除了列出的要素/组成部分/等之外还可存在另外的要素/组成部分/等;用语“第一”、“第二”和“第三”等仅作为标记使用,不是对其对象的数量限制。
在本公开中,晶体管是指至少包括栅极、漏极以及源极这三个端子的元件。晶体管在漏极(漏极端子、漏区域或漏电极)与源极(源极端子、源区域或源电极)之间具有沟道区,并且电流可以流过漏极、沟道区以及源极。沟道区是指电流主要流过的区域。在使用类型相反的晶体管的情况或电路工作中的电流方向变化的情况等下,“源极”及“漏极”的功能有时互相调换。因此,在本公开中,“源极”和“漏极”可以互相调换。从结构上,晶体管可以具有第一端、第二端和控制端,其中,晶体管的栅极可以作为晶体管的控制端;晶体管的源极和漏极中的一个可以作为晶体管的第一端,另一个可以作为晶体管的第二端。
在本公开中,晶体管的“导通”状态,指的是晶体管的源极和漏极之间处于电性连接的状态。晶体管的“截止”状态,指的是晶体管的源极和漏极之间处于电性断路的状态;可以理解的是,当晶体管截止时,其依然可以存在漏电流。
在一些OLED(有机电致发光二极管)显示面板中,设置有初始化引线对OLED的像素电极进行初始化,初始化引线上可以加载初始化电压。然而,显示面板沿远离源极驱动器的方向,初始化电压、驱动电压和公共电压均存在压降,且OLED的像素电极的电压与流经OLED的驱动电流直接相关。这导致OLED显示面板靠近源极驱动器的一端和远离源极驱动器的一端存在亮度差异。
进一步地,当显示面板设置有通孔时,OLED显示面板在通孔所在的行区域出现较为明显的色斑(mura),该色斑在低灰阶状态下更为明显,这对低灰阶画面产生较大的影响。
本公开提供一种像素驱动电路以及应用该像素驱动电路的显示面板,以提高显示面板的亮度均一性。
参见图1,该像素驱动电路包括:
驱动晶体管T3,连接第一节点N1、第二节点N2和第三节点N3,用于在所述第一节点N1的控制下输出驱动电流至所述第三节点N3;
存储电容Cst,一端连接所述第一节点N1;
数据写入单元110,连接所述第二节点N2,用于响应扫描信号Vgate而加载数据电压Vdata至所述第二节点N2;
阈值补偿单元120,连接所述第一节点N1和所述第三节点N3,用于响应所述扫描信号Vgate而使得所述第一节点N1和所述第三节点N3之间导通;
第一发光控制单元130,连接所述第二节点N2,用于响应发光控制信号EM而加载第一电源电压VDD至所述第二节点N2;
第二发光控制单元140,连接所述第三节点N3和第四节点N4,用于响应所述发光控制信号EM而使得所述第三节点N3与所述第四节点N4之间导通;

根据本公开提供的像素驱动电路,发光元件170的一端用于加载第二电源电压VSS,另一端通过第二电源电压VSS进行复位。如此,当该像素驱动电路应用于显示面板上时,该像素驱动电路避免了采用初始化电压对发光元件170进行复位的情况,减少了不同位置的驱动晶体点的源漏电压差的差异,提高驱动晶体管T3工作环境的均一性,进而提高显示面板的亮度均一性。

第二电源引线251可以设置于源漏金属层,例如可以在第一源漏金属层和第二源漏金属层之间相互跨接并延伸。当然的,可以理解的是,第二电源引线251也可以部分设置于其他膜层,例如可以部分设置于半导体层、栅极层、像素电极层等膜层。
可选地,参见图9和图10,所述外围区C设置有第二电源总线252,所述第二电源总线252与至少部分所述第二电源引线251连接。参见图9 和图10,第二电源总线252与绑定区E电连接,并能够加载第二电源电压VSS,进而将第二电源电压VSS分布至第二电源引线251。可以理解的是,如果部分第二电源引线251不与第二电源总线252直接连接,则可以借助其他导电结构,例如借助其他第二电源引线251与第二电源总线252电连接。
可选地,第二电源总线252的数量为两个,且呈对称设置。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,所述第二电源总线252具有相互连接的布线段2521和连接段2522;所述第二电源总线252的数量为两个,两个所述第二电源总线252的布线段2521均沿列方向B延伸且分别位于所述显示区D的两侧;所述第二电源总线252的连接段2522延伸至所述绑定区E。
在该实施方式中,可选地,显示面板的公共电极可以覆盖显示区并延伸至外围区,且与该第二电源总线252的布线段2521部分交叠,以便第二电源总线252能够将第二电源电压VSS加载至公共电极上。进一步地,像素电极层可以设置有转接电极,转接电极可以与第二电源总线252通过过孔连接,公共电极可以与转接电极连接,进而实现公共电极与第二电源总线252之间的电连接。

示例性地,参见图9,第二电源引线251中沿行方向A延伸的部分,例如各个第二电源行子引线2511,其两端分别与两个第二电源总线252的布线段2521连接。
在本公开的另一种实施方式中,参见图10,所述第二电源总线252的布线段2521位于所述显示面板靠近所述绑定区E的一端。换言之,第二电源总线252的布线段2521的长度短于显示区D在列方向B上的长度,第二电源总线252的布线段2521仅在靠近绑定区E的一侧设置。这种设置方式,可以减少第二电源总线252的布线段2521的延伸长度,进而降 低第二电源总线252的布线段2521所占用的边框空间,进而降低显示面板的边框。
示例性地,第二电源总线252的布线段2521可以仅位于显示面板靠近绑定区E的顶角处,即位于显示区D的靠近绑定区E的两个顶角的外侧。如此,第二电源总线252的布线段2521不沿列方向B进一步延伸,进而显著的减小显示面板的边框宽度。第二电源引线251可以呈网格状分布,并与第二电源总线252的布线段2521电连接,保证第二电源电压VSS能够加载至各个像素驱动电路的第四节点N4。

在本公开提供的显示面板中,存储电容Cst的一端与第一节点N1电连接,另一端可以用于加载第一电源电压VDD,也可以用于加载第二电源电压VSS。
可选地,参见图1,所述像素驱动电路还包括第二复位单元160,所述第二复位单元160连接所述第一节点N1,用于响应复位控制信号Vreset 而加载初始化电压Vinit至所述第一节点N1。如此,该像素驱动电路还可以对第一节点N1进行复位,提高各个显示驱动电路工作的稳定性和均一性。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图2,第二复位单元160可以包括第二复位晶体管T1,第二复位晶体管T1具有第一端、第二端和控制端,其中,第二复位晶体管T1的第一端用于加载初始化电压Vinit,第二复位晶体管T1的第二端与第一节点N1电连接,第二复位晶体管T1的控制端用于加载复位控制信号Vreset。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图6~图10,显示面板可以设置有复位控制引线270,复位控制引线270用于加载复位控制信号Vreset。可选地,复位控制引线270可以沿行方向A延伸,且与第二复位晶体管T1的栅极电连接。
进一步可选地,复位控制引线270可以设置于栅极层。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,显示面板可以设置有初始化引线261,初始化引线261用于加载初始化电压Vinit。可选地,初始化引线261可以沿行方向A延伸,且与第二复位晶体管T1的第一端电连接。示例性地,初始化引线261可以沿行方向A贯穿所述显示区D。
进一步可选地,初始化引线261可以设置于源漏金属层。
可选地,参见图9和图10,显示面板还可以设置有初始化总线262,初始化总线262用于加载所述初始化电压Vinit;所述初始化总线262的数量为两个且设于所述外围区C,且包括相互连接的布线段2621和连接段2622;两个所述初始化总线262的布线段2621均沿列方向B延伸且分别位于所述显示区D的两侧;所述初始化总线262的连接段2622延伸至所述绑定区E。初始化引线261沿行方向A贯穿所述显示区D并与所述初始化总线262的布线段2621连接。
如此,初始化总线262可以将初始化电压Vinit分布至各个初始化引线261,并提高初始化电压Vinit的均一性。
可选地,参见图9和图10,初始化总线262的位于第二电源总线252与显示区D之间。
可选地,参见图9和图10,在靠近绑定区E的位置,两个初始化总 线262的连接段2622位于两个第一电源总线232的内侧。在靠近显示区D的位置,两个初始化总线262的连接段2622向显示面板的行方向A的两侧弯折,这使得两个初始化总线262的连接段2622与第一电源总线232部分交叠。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图6~图8,在一个像素驱动电路的范围内,沿列方向,扫描引线210、第一电源引线231、发光控制引线240、初始化引线261和复位控制引线270依次排列。
在本公开的一种实施方式中,参见图4和图5,所述显示面板在显示区D设置有通孔F。在该实施方式中,显示面板的通孔F周围以及与通孔F同行设置的各个像素不会出现发光异常,进而可以避免通孔F周边的光斑(Hole Mura)问题。本公开的像素驱动电路采用第二电源电压VSS对像素驱动电路的第四节点N4进行初始化;相较于常规的初始化电压Vinit,第二电源电压VSS的分布更为均一且压降更小,其所收到的负载大小(发光元件170数量的多少)的影响更小。如此,这克服了相关技术中通孔F周边的初始化电压Vinit因发光元件170分布数量差异而呈现出明显的压差的问题(压差可以达到0.2V),提高了开孔屏的亮度均一性。
本公开实施方式还提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述显示面板实施方式所描述的任意一种显示面板。该显示装置可以为智能手表屏幕、智能手机屏幕或者其他类型的显示装置。由于该显示装置具有上述显示面板实施方式所描述的任意一种显示面板,因此具有相同的有益效果,本公开在此不再赘述。
本领域技术人员在考虑说明书及实践这里公开的发明后,将容易想到本公开的其它实施方案。本申请旨在涵盖本公开的任何变型、用途或者适应性变化,这些变型、用途或者适应性变化遵循本公开的一般性原理并包括本公开未公开的本技术领域中的公知常识或惯用技术手段。说明书和实施例仅被视为示例性的,本公开的真正范围和精神由所附的权利要求指出。
