具体实施方式
为了便于清楚描述本申请实施例的技术方案,在本申请的实施例中,采用了“第一”、“第二”等字样对功能和作用基本相同的相同项或相似项进行区分。例如,第一芯片和第二芯片仅仅是为了区分不同的芯片,并不对其先后顺序进行限定。本领域技术人员可以理解“第一”、“第二”等字样并不对数量和执行次序进行限定,并且“第一”、“第二”等字样也并不限定一定不同。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,“示例性的”或者“例如”等词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例性的”或者“例如”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其他实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言,使用“示 例性的”或者“例如”等词旨在以具体方式呈现相关概念。
本申请实施例中,“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
在相关技术中,如图1所示,像素驱动电路包括第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2、第二发光控制晶体管T3、数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5、第二复位晶体管T6、补偿晶体管T7和存储电容Cst。
其中,第一复位晶体管T1为P型晶体管,第一复位晶体管T1的栅极和数据写入晶体管T4的栅极均与第一扫描信号端Scan1连接,第一复位晶体管T1用于在第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为低电平时导通,通过第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号对发光器件EL的阳极进行复位;第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3也均为P型晶体管,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接,用于在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为低电平时导通,通过驱动晶体管T5驱动发光器件EL发光。
在终端设备中,显示面板在低亮度显示时,通常是采用脉冲宽度调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)调光技术来调整显示亮度的。具体的,通过调整发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的占空比,来控制发光器件EL的发光时长,从而调节发光器件EL的显示亮度。该占空比指的是在发光控制信号的一个周期内,有效电平(即控制第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3导通时的电平)的持续时长与发光控制信号的周期的时长的比值,发光器件EL在一帧图像的显示过程中的发光时长与发光控制信号的占空比呈正相关,也就是说,发光控制信号的占空比越大,发光器件EL在一帧图像显示过程中的发光时长越长,发光控制信号的占空比越小,发光器件EL在一帧图像显示过程中的发光时长越短。
但是,显示面板在低亮度显示时,由于发光控制信号的占空比很小,发光器件EL在一帧图像显示过程中的发光时长很短,用户很容易观察到画面出现频繁的闪烁现象,使得用户观看时眼睛容易出现疲劳感。
为了改善频闪现象,在另一相关技术中,会将发光控制信号的频率从原本的120HZ提高至240HZ,通过拉高发光控制信号的频率,来改善低亮度显示时的频闪问题。但是,由于第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为120HZ,发光控制信号的频率是第一扫描信号的频率的2倍,使得第一扫描信号和发光控制信号不完全同步。因此,第一扫描信号每经过一个周期,发光控制信号就要经过两个周期,例如,如图2所示,第一扫描信号的周期的时长为8.3ms,而发光控制信号的周期的时长为4.15ms。
如图2所示,在第一扫描信号和发光控制信号不同步时,即在A1时刻,发光控制信号从低电平变为高电平,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3从导通状态变为截止状态,来降低发光器件EL的亮度,但是此时的第一扫描信号依 旧维持在高电平,未发生变化,则使得第一复位晶体管T1仍处于截止状态,则第一复位晶体管T1无法对发光器件EL的阳极进行复位,进而导致发光器件EL的亮度没有降低至0nits,发光器件EL的亮度L1仅能降低至1nits;而在第一扫描信号和发光控制信号同步时,即在A2时刻,发光控制信号从低电平变为高电平,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3从导通状态变为截止状态,此时的第一扫描信号也从高电平变为低电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1从截止状态变为导通状态,第一复位晶体管T1对发光器件EL的阳极进行复位,使得此时的发光器件EL的亮度可降低至0nits。
因此,通过将发光控制信号的频率提高至240HZ,而第一扫描信号的频率依旧为120HZ时,会导致发光控制信号在相邻两个周期内,其对应的发光器件EL降低后的亮度不一致,进而导致低亮度显示时,仅拉高将发光控制信号的频率对画面闪烁的改善不明显。
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种像素驱动电路,通过将发光控制模块以及对发光器件进行复位的第一复位模块均与发光控制信号端EM连接,其中一者在发光控制信号为高电平时开启,另一者在发光控制信号为低电平时开启,使得发光控制模块关闭时,对发光器件EL进行复位的第一复位模块可同步开启,即第一复位模块和发光控制模块可同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压,使得发光控制信号在各个周期内,都可以将对应的发光器件EL的亮度降低至0nits;并且,将发光控制信号的频率调高至大于120HZ,则相应增加了发光器件EL在一帧画面显示时的亮态与暗态的变化频率,从而改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象的问题,降低用户观看时眼睛容易出现疲劳感的现象。
本申请实施例提供的像素驱动电路,可以应用在具备显示功能的终端设备中。该终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、电子阅读器、笔记本电脑、车载设备、可穿戴设备、电视等设备。

需要说明的是,各个子像素的像素驱动电路基本类似,只是与其连接的发光器件不同,当子像素中的发光器件发出的光线颜色为红色时,该子像素为红色子像素,当子像素中的发光器件发出的光线颜色为绿色时,该子像素为绿色子像素,当子像素中的发光器件发出的光线颜色为蓝色时,该子像素为蓝色子像素。
如图5所示,每个子像素中的像素驱动电路包括:第一复位模块21、发光控制模块22、数据写入模块23、驱动模块24、第二复位模块25、阈值补偿模块26和存储模块27。
第二复位模块25分别与复位信号端Reset、第二初始化信号端Init2和驱动模块24的控制端连接,用于在复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号的控制下开启,通过第二初始化信号端Init2输入的第二初始化信号对驱动模块24的控制端进行复位;数据写入模块23分别与第一扫描信号端Scan1、数据信号端Data和驱动模块24的第一端连接,用于在第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号的控制下开启,向驱动模块24写入数据信号端Data输入的数据信号;阈值补偿模块26分别与第二扫描信号端Scan2、驱动模块24的第二端和驱动模块24的控制端连接,用于在第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号的控制下开启,对驱动模块24的阈值电压进行补偿;存储模块27分别第一电压信号端ELVDD和驱动模块24的控制端连接,用于稳定驱动模块24的控制端的电压;第一复位模块21分别与发光控制信号端EM、第一初始化信号端Init1和发光器件EL的第一端连接,用于在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下开启,通过第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位;发光控制模块22分别与发光控制信号端EM、驱动模块24和发光器件EL的第一端连接,用于在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下开启,通过驱动模块24驱动发光器件EL发光。
其中,第一复位模块21和发光控制模块22中的一者在发光控制信号为高电平时开启,第一复位模块21和发光控制模块22中的另一者在发光控制信号为低电平时开启;并且,发光控制信号的频率大于120HZ。
在显示面板10显示每一帧画面时,每个像素驱动电路需要经过三个阶段,分别为复位阶段、数据写入阶段和发光控制阶段。
在复位阶段,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为有效信号,使得第二复位模块25在复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号的控制下开启,第二初始化信号端Init2输入的第二初始化信号通过第二复位模块25传输至驱动模块24的控制端,对驱动模块24的控制端进行复位,从而避免上一帧画面显示时驱动模块24的控制端残留的电荷,对这一帧的画面显示造成影响;并且,在复位阶段,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号,对第一复位模块21来说为有效信号,第一复位模块21在发光控制信号端EM 输入的发光控制信号的控制下开启,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号通过第一复位模块21传输至发光器件EL的第一端,对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位,从而避免上一帧画面显示时发光器件EL的第一端残留的电荷,对这一帧的画面显示造成影响。
此时,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为无效信号,使得数据写入模块23关闭;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号也为无效信号,使得阈值补偿模块26也关闭;发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号,对发光控制模块22来说为无效信号,使得发光控制模块22也关闭。
需要说明的是,在复位阶段,驱动模块24也处于开启状态,但是由于发光控制模块22关闭,因此,流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在数据写入阶段,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为有效信号,使得数据写入模块23在第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号的控制下开启,数据信号端Data输入的数据信号通过数据写入模块23传输至驱动模块24的第一端;在数据写入阶段,第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为有效信号,使得阈值补偿模块26在第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号的控制下开启。由于驱动模块24也处于开启状态,则写入驱动模块24的第一端的数据信号,会通过驱动模块24和阈值补偿模块26写入到驱动模块24的控制端,并且,由于阈值补偿模块26的存在,阈值补偿模块26会对驱动模块24的阈值电压进行补偿,因此,在将数据信号写入驱动模块24的控制端时,同时会将驱动模块24的阈值电压也写入到驱动模块24的控制端,即通过数据写入模块23和阈值补偿模块26,将数据信号端Data输入的数据信号和驱动模块24的阈值电压写入驱动模块24的控制端。
由于存储模块27的第一端与第一电压信号端ELVDD连接,存储模块27的第二端与驱动模块24的控制端连接,因此,在将数据信号和驱动模块24的阈值电压写入驱动模块24的控制端时,也就相当于将数据信号和驱动模块24的阈值电压存储至存储模块27,存储模块27可稳定驱动模块24的控制端的电压,防止因驱动模块24的漏电流的存在而导致驱动模块24的控制端的电压降低。
并且,在数据写入阶段,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号,对第一复位模块21来说依旧为有效信号,第一复位模块21在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下开启,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号通过第一复位模块21传输至发光器件EL的第一端,继续对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位。
此时,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为无效信号,使得第二复位模块25关闭;发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号,对发光控制模块22来说依旧为无效信号,使得发光控制模块22也关闭。
需要说明的是,在数据写入阶段,驱动模块24也处于开启状态,但是由于发光控制模块22关闭,因此,流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在发光控制阶段,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号对发光控制模块22来说为有效信号,发光控制模块22在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下 开启,由于驱动模块24也处于开启状态,则发光控制模块22可通过驱动模块24驱动发光器件EL发光。
此时,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为无效信号,使得第二复位模块25关闭;第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为无效信号,使得数据写入模块23关闭;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号也为无效信号,使得阈值补偿模块26也关闭;发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号,对第一复位模块21来说为无效信号,使得第一复位模块21也关闭。
需要说明的是,有效信号指的是可控制对应模块开启时的信号,无效信号指的是控制对应模块关闭时的信号。当模块中的晶体管为N型晶体管时,有效信号指的是高电平信号,无效信号指的是低电平信号;当模块中的晶体管为P型晶体管时,有效信号指的是低电平信号,无效信号指的是高电平信号。
综上,可以看出,将发光控制模块22以及对发光器件EL进行复位的第一复位模块21均与发光控制信号端EM连接后,其中一者在发光控制信号为高电平时开启,另一者在发光控制信号为低电平时开启,使得发光控制模块22开启时,第一复位模块21可同步关闭,发光控制模块22关闭时,第一复位模块21可同步开启。
当发光控制模块22关闭,第一复位模块21同步开启时,第一复位模块21和发光控制模块22可同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压,使得发光控制信号在各个周期内,都可以将对应的发光器件EL的亮度降低至0nits;并且,将发光控制信号的频率调高至大于120HZ,其改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象的效果更好。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中第一复位模块21和发光控制模块22同频将发光器件EL的第一端的电压降低至0nits,这里的0nits指的是误差允许范围内的数值,不一定指的是0nits这一具体数值,例如,在误差允许范围内,将发光器件EL的第一端降低至0.1nits,也默认为是将发光器件EL的第一端的电压降低至0nits。
其中,发光控制模块22包括第一发光控制单元221和第二发光控制单元222。第一发光控制单元221的控制端与发光控制信号端EM连接,第一发光控制单元221的第一端与第一电压信号端ELVDD连接,第一发光控制单元221的第二端与驱动模块24的第一端连接;第二发光控制单元222的控制端与发光控制信号端EM连接,第二发光控制单元222的第一端与驱动模块24的第二端连接,第二发光控制单元222的第二端与发光器件EL的第一端连接。

在图6中,第一复位晶体管T1为N型晶体管,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3均为P型晶体管,数据写入晶体管T4和驱动晶体管T5均为P型晶体管,第二复位晶体管T6和补偿晶体管T7均为N型晶体管。
下面结合图7所示的时序图,说明图6所示的像素驱动电路的具体工作过程。
在复位阶段t11,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为高电平,此时的复位信号为有效信号,使得第二复位晶体管T6在复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号的控制下导通,第二初始化信号端Init2输入的第二初始化信号通过第二复位晶体管T6传输至驱动晶体管T5的栅极(即Vg节点),对驱动晶体管T5的栅极进行复位,使得驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压被调整为第二初始化信号对应的第二初始化电压Vinit2。例如,第二初始化信号对应的第二初始化电压Vinit2为-3V,则第二复位晶体管T6对驱动晶体管T5的栅极进行复位后,可将驱动晶体管T5的栅极(即Vg节点)的电压调整为-3V。
并且,在复位阶段t11,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为有效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下导通,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号通过第一复位晶体管T1传输至发光器件EL的第一端,对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位,使得发光器件EL的第一端的电压被调整为第一初始化信号对应的第一初始化电压Vinit1。
由于在上一帧显示驱动过程中的发光控制阶段,驱动晶体管T5的第一极的电压(即Vs节点的电压)为第一电压信号端ELVDD的电压Vdd,因此,在复位阶段t11,Vs节点的电压基本上等于Vdd,驱动晶体管T5的第一极指的是驱动晶体管T5的源极,由于驱动晶体管T5的栅极与源极的电压差Vgs小于驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth,则驱动晶体管T5也处于导通状态。
另外,在复位阶段t11,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为高电平,此时的第一扫描信号为无效信号,使得数据写入晶体管T4截止;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为低电平,此时的第二扫描信号也为无效信号,使得补偿晶体管T7也处于截止状态;而发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说为无效信号,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3也处于截止状态,则流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在数据写入阶段t12,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为低电平,此时的第一扫描信号为有效信号,使得数据写入晶体管T4导通,数据信号端Data输入的数据信号通过数据写入晶体管T4传输至驱动晶体管T5的第一极,此时Vs节点的电压为数据信号对应的数据电压Vdata;在数据写入阶段t12,第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为高电平信号,此时的第二扫描信号为有效信号,使得补偿晶体管T7导通,则写入到驱动晶体管T5的第一极的数据信号依次通过驱动晶体管T5和补偿晶体管T7写入到驱动晶体管T5的栅极,随着数据信号的写入,驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压逐渐升高,直到驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压变为Vdata+Vth,即Vg节点的电压 为Vdata+Vth。
并且,在数据写入阶段t12,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号依旧为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为依旧有效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1导通,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号继续通过第一复位晶体管T1传输至发光器件EL的第一端,继续对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位,使得发光器件EL的第一端的电压维持在第一初始化电压Vinit1。
此外,在数据写入阶段t12,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为低电平,此时的复位信号为无效信号,使得第二复位晶体管T6截止;而发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号依旧为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说依旧为无效信号,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3也处于截止状态,则流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在发光控制阶段t13,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说为有效信号,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下导通。并且,由于第一发光控制晶体管T2导通,则Vs节点的电压从Vdata变为Vdd,而Vg节点的电压为Vdata+Vth,Vgs小于0,则使得驱动晶体管T5继续维持在导通状态,则流入发光器件EL的驱动电流I=K(Vgs-Vth) 2=K(Vdata+Vth-Vdd-Vth) 2=K(Vdata-Vdd) 2。其中,K为常数,具体数值由驱动晶体管T5本身的特性来决定,可以看出,流入发光器件EL的驱动电流与驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth无关,则通过补偿晶体管T7,可使得流入发光器件EL的驱动电流与驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth无关,避免驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth波动而影响发光器件EL的发光亮度,提高显示面板的亮度均一性。
而在发光控制阶段t13,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为低电平,此时的复位信号为无效信号,使得第二复位晶体管T6截止;第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为高电平,此时的第一扫描信号为无效信号,使得数据写入晶体管T4截止;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为低电平,此时的第二扫描信号也为无效信号,使得补偿晶体管T7也处于截止状态;发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为无效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1截止。
因此,可以看出,针对图6所示的像素驱动电路,当第一复位晶体管T1的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T2的栅极和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接时,在复位阶段t11和数据写入阶段t12,发光控制信号为高电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1处于导通状态,而第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于截止状态,而在发光控制阶段t13,发光控制信号为低电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1处于截止状态,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于导通状态。
也就是说,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于截止状态的同时,第一复位晶体管T1处于导通状态,则第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3可同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压;并且,当发 光控制信号的频率被调高至大于120HZ时,可有效改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象。
需要说明的是,在复位阶段t11和数据写入阶段t12,存在一定时长的间隔,其原因在于,第n行像素驱动电路中的复位信号端Reset,与第n-7行的像素驱动电路中的第二扫描信号端Scan2连接,因此,复位阶段t11和数据写入阶段t12之间的时间段,指的是第n-6行像素驱动电路至第n-1行像素驱动电路所对应的复位阶段t11;另外,在数据写入阶段t12与发光控制阶段t13之间也存在短暂的间隔,这是为了保证可以有足够的时间将驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压稳定在Vdata+Vth。
另一种可选的实施方式,如图8所示,第一复位模块21包括第一复位晶体管T1,第一发光控制单元221包括第一发光控制晶体管T2,第二发光控制单元222包括第二发光控制晶体管T3,数据写入模块23包括数据写入晶体管T4,驱动模块24包括驱动晶体管T5,第二复位模块25包括第二复位晶体管T6,阈值补偿模块26包括补偿晶体管T7,存储模块27包括存储电容Cst。
图8中的第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2、第二发光控制晶体管T3、数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5、第二复位晶体管T6、补偿晶体管T7和存储电容Cst的连接关系,与图6中的第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2、第二发光控制晶体管T3、数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5、第二复位晶体管T6、补偿晶体管T7和存储电容Cst的连接关系相同,为避免重复,在此不再赘述。
其不同之处在于,在图8中,第一复位晶体管T1为P型晶体管,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3均为N型晶体管。
另外,在图8中,数据写入晶体管T4和驱动晶体管T5均为P型晶体管,第二复位晶体管T6和补偿晶体管T7均为N型晶体管。
下面结合图9所示的时序图,说明图8所示的像素驱动电路的具体工作过程。
在复位阶段t21,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为高电平,使得第二复位晶体管T6导通,第二初始化信号端Init2输入的第二初始化信号通过第二复位晶体管T6传输至驱动晶体管T5的栅极(即Vg节点),对驱动晶体管T5的栅极进行复位。而发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为有效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的控制下导通,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号通过第一复位晶体管T1传输至发光器件EL的第一端,对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位。
另外,在复位阶段t21,由于驱动晶体管T5的第一极的电压基本上等于第一电压信号端ELVDD的电压Vdd,驱动晶体管T5的栅极与源极的电压差小于驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth,则驱动晶体管T5也处于导通状态;在复位阶段t21,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为高电平,使得数据写入晶体管T4截止;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为低电平,使得补偿晶体管T7也处于截止状态;而发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说为无效信号,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3也处于截止状态,则流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在数据写入阶段t22,第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为低电平,使得数据写入晶体管T4导通,第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为高电平信号,使得补偿晶体管T7导通,则数据信号端Data输入的数据信号会依次通过数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5和补偿晶体管T7写入到驱动晶体管T5的栅极,随着数据信号的写入,驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压逐渐升高,直到驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压变为Vdata+Vth,即Vg节点的电压为Vdata+Vth。
并且,在数据写入阶段t22,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号依旧为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为依旧有效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1导通,第一初始化信号端Init1输入的第一初始化信号继续通过第一复位晶体管T1传输至发光器件EL的第一端,继续对发光器件EL的第一端进行复位。
此外,在数据写入阶段t22,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为低电平,使得第二复位晶体管T6截止;而发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号依旧为低电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说依旧为无效信号,使得第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3也处于截止状态,则流入发光器件EL的第一端的驱动电流为0,发光器件EL不会发光。
在发光控制阶段t23,发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3来说为有效信号,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3在发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的作用下导通,将Vs节点的电压从Vdata变为Vdd,而Vg节点的电压为Vdata+Vth,Vgs小于0,则使得驱动晶体管T5继续维持在导通状态,则流入发光器件EL的驱动电流I=K(Vdata-Vdd) 2,流入发光器件EL的驱动电流与驱动晶体管T5的阈值电压Vth无关。
而在发光控制阶段t23,复位信号端Reset输入的复位信号为低电平,使得第二复位晶体管T6截止;第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号为高电平,使得数据写入晶体管T4截止;第二扫描信号端Scan2输入的第二扫描信号为低电平,使得补偿晶体管T7也处于截止状态;发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号为高电平,此时的发光控制信号对第一复位晶体管T1来说为无效信号,使得第一复位晶体管T1截止。
因此,可以看出,针对图8所示的像素驱动电路,当第一复位晶体管T1的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T2的栅极和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接时,在复位阶段t21和数据写入阶段t22,发光控制信号为低电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1处于导通状态,而第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于截止状态,而在发光控制阶段t23,发光控制信号为高电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1处于截止状态,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于导通状态。
也就是说,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3处于截止状态的同时,第一复位晶体管T1处于导通状态,则第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3可同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压;并且,当发光控制信号的频率被调高至大于120HZ时,可有效改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象。
需要说明的是,第n行像素驱动电路中的复位信号端Reset,与第n-7行的像素驱 动电路中的第二扫描信号端Scan2连接,因此,在复位阶段t21和数据写入阶段t22之间的时间段,指的是第n-6行像素驱动电路至第n-1行像素驱动电路所对应的复位阶段t11;另外,在数据写入阶段t22与发光控制阶段t23之间也存在短暂的间隔,这是为了保证可以有足够的时间将驱动晶体管T5的栅极电压稳定在Vdata+Vth。
图10示出的是本申请实施例的像素驱动电路在驱动发光器件发光时的亮度曲线示意图,横坐标表示时间,单位为s,纵坐标表示亮度,单位为nits,其测试的条件是,将第一复位晶体管T1的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T2的栅极和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接,第一复位晶体管T1为N型晶体管,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3均为P型晶体管,且发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的频率为240HZ。
经测试,如图10所示,在A3时刻,发光控制信号从低电平变为高电平,使得第一复位晶体管T1从截止状态变为导通状态,同时第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3从导通状态变为截止状态,通过第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3,同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压,来降低发光器件EL的亮度,使得此时的发光器件EL的亮度L2可降低至0nits。因此,发光控制信号在相邻两个周期内,其对应的发光器件EL的降低后的亮度基本一致。
相应的,当将第一复位晶体管T1的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T2的栅极和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接,且第一复位晶体管T1为P型晶体管,第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3为N型晶体管时,第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3,也可以同频降低发光器件EL的第一端的电压,来降低发光器件EL的亮度,使得发光控制信号在相邻两个周期内,其对应的发光器件EL的降低后的亮度基本一致。
由于将发光控制信号端EM输入的发光控制信号的频率提高至240HZ,且第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3同频降低发光器件EL的亮度至0nits,则可以使得发光器件EL的亮态与暗态的变化频率也提高至240HZ,则相应增加了发光器件EL在一帧画面显示时的亮态与暗态的变化频率,从而改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象的问题。
并且,由于第一复位晶体管T1的栅极、第一发光控制晶体管T2的栅极和第二发光控制晶体管T3的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接,通过一路信号即可同时控制第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3,相对于第一复位晶体管T1采用一路信号控制,而第一发光控制晶体管T2和第二发光控制晶体管T3采用另一路信号控制,本申请实施例可减小了输入至每个像素驱动电路的信号数量,相应的,也就减少了传输信号所需的信号线的数量,简化了显示面板的走线设计。
可以理解的是,数据写入晶体管T4也可以为N型晶体管,第二复位晶体管T6也可以为P型晶体管,补偿晶体管T7也可以为P型晶体管。当数据写入晶体管T4、第二复位晶体管T6和补偿晶体管T7的类型发生改变时,其栅极连接的信号端所输入的信号也要发生翻转,例如,当数据写入晶体管T4变为N型晶体管时,在复位阶段和发光控制阶段,将第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号变为低电平,而在数据写入阶段,将第一扫描信号端Scan1输入的第一扫描信号变为高电平。
在此需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,各个晶体管的源极和漏极在一定条件下是可以互换的,因此,各个晶体管的源极、漏极从连接关系的描述上是没有区别的。在本申请实施例中,为了区分晶体管的源极和漏极,将其中的一极称为第一极,另一极称为第二极,此外,按照晶体管的特性区分可以将晶体管分为N型晶体管和P型晶体管,对于N型晶体管,第一极为N型晶体管的源极,第二极为N型晶体管的漏极,栅极输入高电平时导通,P型晶体管相反。
并且,第一复位晶体管T1、第一发光控制晶体管T2、第二发光控制晶体管T3、数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5、第二复位晶体管T6和补偿晶体管T7,可以为氧化物半导体晶体管或者低温多晶硅晶体管。
上述说明将发光控制信号的频率从120Hz提高至240HZ,来改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象的问题,可以理解的是,也可以将发光控制信号的频率提高至其他频率,如150HZ、360HZ等,只要保证本申请实施例中的发光控制信号的频率大于120HZ,就可以改善低亮度显示时画面出现频繁的闪烁现象,当发光控制信号的频率越高时,低亮度显示时的频闪问题改善效果更好。
另外,上述说明了本申请实施例中的像素驱动电路为7T1C电路,可以理解的是,本申请实施例中的像素驱动电路不局限于图6和图8所示的像素驱动电路,其还可以为其他类型的像素驱动电路,如4T1C、5T1C或6T1C的像素驱动电路,只要保证像素驱动电路中,发光控制模块22包括的晶体管的栅极和第一复位模块21包括的晶体管的栅极均与发光控制信号端EM连接,且发光控制模块22中的晶体管与第一复位模块21中的晶体管,其中一者在发光控制信号为高电平时导通,另一者在发光控制信号为低电平时导通,均可适用于本申请。
例如,本申请也可采用6T1C的像素驱动电路,具体的,可以将图6和图8所示的像素驱动电路中的第二复位晶体管T6去除,得到6T1C的像素驱动电路,此时的像素驱动电路不包括第二复位模块25。
或者,本申请还可以采用4T1C的像素驱动电路,具体的,可以将图6所示的像素驱动电路中的第二复位晶体管T6、补偿晶体管T7和第一发光控制晶体管T2去除,以得到如图11所示的4T1C的像素驱动电路,此时的像素驱动电路包括第一复位晶体管T1、第二发光控制晶体管T3、数据写入晶体管T4、驱动晶体管T5和存储电容Cst,而不包括第二复位模块25、阈值补偿模块26和第一发光控制单元221;并且,数据写入晶体管T4的第二极与驱动晶体管T5的栅极连接,驱动晶体管T5的第一极与第一电压信号端ELVDD连接。当发光控制模块22包括第二发光控制单元222而不包括第一发光控制单元221时,第一复位晶体管T1的类型与第二发光控制晶体管T3的类型相反,即当第一复位晶体管T1为P型晶体管时,第二发光控制晶体管T3为N型晶体管,或者,当第一复位晶体管T1为N晶体管时,第二发光控制晶体管T3为P型晶体管。
因此,当第一复位模块21包括的晶体管为N型晶体管,发光控制模块22包括的晶体管为P型晶体管;当第一复位模块21包括的晶体管为P型晶体管,发光控制模块22包括的晶体管为N型晶体管。发光控制模块可以仅包括第二发光控制单元222,也可以包括第一发光控制单元22和第二发光控制单元222。
本申请实施例还提供了一种显示面板,包括多个如图6、图8或图11所示的像素驱动电路,以及与每个像素驱动电路连接的发光器件EL。
其中,发光器件EL的第一端指的是发光器件EL的阳极,发光器件EL的第二端指的是发光器件EL的阴极,而发光器件EL的第二端与第二电压信号端ELVSS连接。
在本申请实施例中,第n行像素驱动电路中的复位信号端Reset,与第n-7行的像素驱动电路中的第二扫描信号端Scan2连接,n为大于7的正整数。
例如,如图12所示,每行像素驱动电路均分别与复位信号端Reset、第二初始化信号端Init2、第一初始化信号端Init1、发光控制信号端EM、第一扫描信号端Scan1和第二扫描信号端Scan2连接,第1行像素驱动电路的第二扫描信号端Scan2还与第8行像素驱动电路的复位信号端Reset连接,第2行像素驱动电路的第二扫描信号端Scan2还与第9行像素驱动电路的复位信号端Reset连接,以此类推。而第1行像素驱动电路至第7行像素驱动电路的复位信号端Reset,是需要接收外部输入的复位信号。
当第n行像素驱动电路中的复位信号端Reset,与第n-7行的像素驱动电路中的第二扫描信号端Scan2连接时,可减小外部输入的复位信号。
此外,显示面板还包括阵列基板行驱动(gate on array,GOA)电路,GOA电路包括EM GOA电路、第一扫描GOA电路和第二扫描GOA电路等,EM GOA电路与各行像素驱动电路的发光控制信号端EM连接,用于向各行像素驱动电路的发光控制信号端EM输入发光控制信号,第一扫描GOA电路与各行像素驱动电路的第一扫描信号端Scan1连接,用于向各行像素驱动电路的第一扫描信号端Scan1输入第一扫描信号,第二扫描GOA电路与各行像素驱动电路的第二扫描信号端Scan2连接,用于向各行像素驱动电路的第二扫描信号端Scan2输入第二扫描信号。
通常,显示面板包括显示区和围绕显示区的非显示区,像素驱动电路和发光器件EL位于显示区,GOA电路均位于非显示区。
以上的实施方式、结构示意图或仿真示意图仅为示意性说明本申请的技术方案,其中的尺寸比例并不构成对该技术方案保护范围的限定,任何在上述实施方式的精神和原则之内所做的修改、等同替换和改进等,均应包含在该技术方案的保护范围之内。
