OLED显示面板中的像素电路一般采用矩阵驱动方式,根据每个像素单元中是否引入开关元器件分为有源矩阵(Active Matrix,AM)驱动和无源矩阵(Passive Matrix,PM)驱动。其中,AMOLED在每一个像素的像素电路(也称为“像素驱动电路”)中都集成了一组薄膜晶体管和存储电容,通过对薄膜晶体管和存储电容的驱动控制,实现对流过OLED的电流的控制,从而使OLED根据需要发光。因此,AMOLED所需驱动电流小、功耗低、寿命更长,可以满足高分辨率多灰度的大尺寸显示需求。同时,AMOLED在可视角度、色彩的还原、功耗以及响应时间等方面具有明显的优势,适用于高信息含量、高分辨率的显示装置。
AMOLED显示面板中使用的基础像素电路通常为2T1C像素电路,即利用两个TFT(Thin-film transistor,薄膜晶体管)和一个存储电容C来实现驱动OLED发光的基本功能。需要注意的是,实际使用的像素电路不限于上述2T1C像素电路,还可以是其他结构的像素电路,例如4T1C、4T2C、6T1C或7T1C的像素电路等。
图1A为一种7T1C像素电路的示意图。如图1A所示,该7T1C像素电路包括:驱动晶体管T3、第一晶体管T1、第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管 T6、第七晶体管T7和电容C。驱动晶体管T3的栅极连接第一节点N1,驱动晶体管T3的第一极连接第二节点N2,驱动晶体管T3的第二极连接第三节点N3;第四晶体管T4的第一极连接数据信号端Da,第四晶体管T4的第二极连接第二节点N2,第四晶体管T4的栅极连接栅极驱动信号端G2;第五晶体管T5的第一极连接第一电源端VDD,第五晶体管T5的第二极连接第二节点N2,第五晶体管T5的栅极连接使能信号端EM;第二晶体管T2的第一极连接第一节点N1,第二晶体管T2的第二极连接第三节点N3,第二晶体管T2的栅极连接栅极驱动信号端G1;第六晶体管T6的第一极连接第三节点N3,第六晶体管T6的第二极连接第四节点N4,第六晶体管T6的栅极连接使能信号端EM;第七晶体管T7的第一极连接第四节点N4,第七晶体管T7的第二极连接第二初始信号端Vinit2,第七晶体管T7的栅极连接第二复位信号端Re2;第一晶体管T1的第一极连接第一节点N1,第一晶体管T1的第二极连接第一初始信号端Vinit1,第一晶体管T1的栅极连接第一复位信号端Re1,电容C连接于第一电源端VDD和第一节点N1之间。该像素电路可以连接一发光单元OLED,用于驱动该发光单元OLED发光,发光单元OLED可以连接于第四节点N4和第二电源端VSS之间。第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2可以为N型晶体管,例如,第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2可以为N型金属氧化物晶体管,N型金属氧化物晶体管具有较小的漏电流,从而可以避免发光阶段,节点N1通过第一晶体管T1和第二晶体管T2漏电。同时,驱动晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6、第七晶体管T7可以为P型晶体管,例如,驱动晶体管T3、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6、第七晶体管T7可以为P型低温多晶体硅晶体管,低温多晶体硅晶体管具有较高的载流子迁移率,从而有利于实现高分辨率、高反应速度、高像素密度、高开口率的显示面板。第一初始信号端Vinit1和第二初始信号端Vinit2可以根据实际情况输出相同或不同电压信号。
图1B为图1A所示的7T1C像素电路的一种驱动方法的信号时序图。其中,G1表示栅极驱动信号端G1的时序,G2表示栅极驱动信号端G2的时序,Re1表示第一复位信号端Re1的时序,Re2表示第二复位信号端Re2的时序,EM表示使能信号端EM的时序。该像素电路的驱动方法可以包括三个阶段:复位阶段t01、数据写入和补偿阶段t02、发光阶段t03。在复位阶段t01,第一复位信号端Re1输入高电平信号,第一晶体管T1导通,第一初始信号端Vinit1向第一节点N1输入第一初始信号Vinit1,以对第一节点N1(即驱动晶体管的栅极)进行复位。在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,栅极驱动信号端G2输入低电平信号,栅极驱动信号端G1输入高电平信号,第四晶体管T4、第二晶体管T2导通,同时数据信号端Da输入数据信号Vdata,以对第一节点N1进行充电,直到第一节点N1的电压变为Vdata+Vth为止,第一节点N1的电压Vdata+Vth通过存储电容C进行存储,其中Vdata为数据信号的电压(即数据电压),Vth为驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压。在发光阶段t03,使能信号端EM输出低电平信号,第六晶体管T6、第五晶体管T5导通,驱动晶体管T3在电容C存储的电压Vdata+Vth作用下产生驱动电流;驱动晶体管产生的驱动电流可以根据以下公式得出:
I=0.5μCox*(W/L)*(Vgs-Vth) 2
=0.5μCox*(W/L)*((Vdata+Vth-VDD)-Vth) 2
=0.5μCox*(W/L)*(Vdata-VDD) 2
其中,μ表示载流子迁移率,Cox表示单位面积栅极电容量,W表示驱动晶体管沟道的宽度,L表示驱动晶体管沟道的长度,Vgs表示驱动晶体管栅源电压差,Vth表示驱动晶体管的阈值电压,VDD表示第一电源端VDD提供的第一电源电压。从上述公式可以看出,流经发光元件OLED的驱动电流I LE不再与驱动晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth有关,而只与控制该像素电路发光的灰度的数据信号Vdata有关,由此可以实现对该像素电路的补偿,解决了驱动晶体管T3由于工艺制程及长时间的操作使用造成的阈值电压漂移的问题,消除其对驱动电流的影响,从而可以改善显示效果。
在上述像素电路中,在第一节点N1、第二节点N2和第三节点N3处均存在寄生电容;然而,上述驱动方法在复位阶段仅对第一节点N1进行复位,而不对第二节点N2和第三节点N3进行复位,不利于消除迟滞影响及改善残像现象。

例如,如图11A和图11B所示,氧化物薄膜晶体管包括在Z方向上依次层叠且相互绝缘的第一金属层Metal_1、有源层S/D和第二金属层Metal_2。例如,氧化物薄膜晶体管设置在一衬底基板上,其中,X方向和Y方向均平行于该衬底基板的表面,Z方向垂直于该衬底基板的表面。例如,X方向垂直于Y方向。例如,第一金属层Metal_1和有源层S/D之间设置有绝缘层(图11B中未示出),有源层S/D和第二金属层Metal_2之间也设置有绝缘层(图11B中未示出)。例如,有源层S/D的材料可以采用氧化铟镓锌(IGZO)等。
例如,如图11A所示,有源层S/D沿Y方向延伸。在有源层S/D的延伸方向(即Y方向)上,第二金属层Metal_2的宽度不大于第一金属层Metal_1的宽度。例如,在一些示例中,第二金属层Metal_2和第二扫描信号端SN2连接以作为氧化物薄膜晶体管(例如,第二晶体管T2和/或第七晶体管T7等)的栅极;第一金属层Metal_1中可以输入直流信号,起屏蔽作用,屏蔽外界电场对氧化物薄膜晶体管的影响。例如,在另一些示例中,第二金属层Metal_2和第一金属层Metal_1均与第二扫描信号端SN2连接以同时作为氧化物薄膜晶体管(例如,第二晶体管T2和/或第七晶体管T7等)的栅极。

例如,在一些实施例中,为了减小第一节点N1的漏电流,第一晶体管T1的沟道区的宽长比的取值范围可以为[1/3,3/4],第八晶体管T8的沟道区的宽长比的取值范围也可以为[1/3,3/4]。例如,第一晶体管T1的沟道区的宽长比的一般值为2.0/3.0;例如,第一晶体管T1的沟道区的宽的取值范围可以为[1.5,2.5],第一晶体管T1的沟道区的长的取值范围可以为[2.0,5.0]。例如,第八晶体管T8的沟道区的宽长比的一般值为2.0/3.0;例如,第八晶体管T8的沟道区的宽的取值范围可以为[1.5,2.5],第八晶体管T8的沟道区的长的取值范围可以为[2.0,5.0]。例如,在一些示例中,第一晶体管T1和第八晶体管T8至少之一可以具有双栅结构,例如,对于双栅结构的晶体管而言,其沟道区的宽长比的一般值为2.0/(3.0+3.0)。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,存储电容Cst可以是通过工艺制程制作的电容器件,例如通过制作专门的电容电极来实现电容器件,电容的各个电极可以通过金属层、半导体层(例如掺杂多晶硅)等实现,并且,电容也可以是各个器件之间的寄生电容,可以通过晶体管本身与其他器件、线路来实现。电容的连接方式不局限于上面描述的方式,也可以为其他适用的连接方式,只要能存储相应节点的电平即可。
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。
另外,需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,对于P型晶体管而言,第一极可以是源极,第二极可以是漏极;对于N型晶体管而言,第一极可以是漏极,第二极可以是源极。需要说明的是,本公开包括但不限于此。需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例中,均是以发光元件LE的第二极(例如,阴极)接入第二电源电压VSS(低电压)为例进行说明的,本公开的实施例包括但不限于此。例如,还可以使发光元件LE的第一极(例如,阳极)接入第一电源电压VDD(高电压),而其阴极则直接或间接地连接到像素电路。
需要说明的是,在本公开的实施例提供的像素电路中,“有效电平”指的是能够使得其包括的被操作晶体管被导通的电平,相应地“无效电平”指的是不能使得其包括的被操作晶体管被导通(即,该晶体管被截止)的电平。根据移位寄存器单元的电路结构中的晶体管的类型(N型或P型)等因素,有效电平可以比无效电平高或者低。例如,在本公开实施例中,对于P型晶体管,有效电平为低电平,无效电平为高电平;对于N型晶体管, 有效电平为高电平,无效电平为低电平。
本公开至少一些实施例还提供一种像素电路的驱动方法。图12-18为本公开至少一些实施例提供的各种像素电路的驱动方法的信号时序图。例如,图12-14所示的信号时序均可以用于驱动图2所示的像素电路10,图12和图14所示的信号时序还可以用于驱动图3所示的像素电路10,图13和图15所示的信号时序均可以用于驱动图4所示的像素电路10。下面结合图12-18所示的信号时序,对图2-4所示的像素电路10(其中,图2所示的像素电路具体实现为图5或图6所示的电路结构,图3所示的像素电路具体实现为图7或图8所示的电路结构,图4所示的像素电路具体实现为图9或图10所示的电路结构)的驱动方法进行说明。需要说明的是,图12-18中所示的信号时序的电位的高低仅是示意性的,不代表真实电位值或相对比例,对应于本公开的实施例,低电平信号对应于P型晶体管的导通信号或N型晶体管的截止信号,而高电平信号对应于P型晶体管的截止信号或N型晶体管的导通信号。
例如,如图12-18所示,每一帧图像的显示过程可以包括五个阶段,分别为复位阶段t1、数据写入和补偿阶段t2、保持阶段t3&t4以及发光阶段t5。图12-18中示出了每个阶段中各个控制信号的时序波形。
在复位阶段t1,输入第二发光控制信号EM2、第一复位控制信号RS1、第二复位控制信号RS2和传输控制信号TC,开启第二发光控制电路500、第一初始化电路600、第二初始化电路700和传输电路800,通过第一初始化电路600和传输电路800将第一初始化电压Vinit1施加至驱动电路100的控制端110以对驱动电路100的控制端110进行复位,通过第二初始化电路700将第二初始化电压Vinit2施加至发光元件900的第一极以对发光元件900进行复位,通过第二初始化电路700和第二发光控制电路500将第二初始化电压Vinit2施加至驱动电路100的第二端130以对驱动电路100的第二端130进行复位;或者,在复位阶段t1,输入第二扫描信号SN2、第一复位控制信号RS1、第二复位控制信号RS2和传输控制信号TC,开启补偿控制电路300、第一初始化电路600、第二初始化电路700和传输电路800,通过第一初始化电路600和传输电路800将第一初始化电压Vinit1施加至驱动电路100的控制端110以对驱动电路100的控制端110进行复位,通过第一初始化电路600、传输电路800和补偿控制电路300将第一初始化电压Vinit1施加至驱动电路100的第二端130以对驱动电路100的第二端130进行复位,通过第二初始化电路700将第二初始化电压Vinit2施加至发光元件900的第一极以对发光元件900进行复位;或者,在复位阶段t1,输入第二扫描信号SN2、第一复位控制信号RS1、第二复位控制信号RS2和传输控制信号TC,开启补偿控制电路300、第一初始化电路600、第二初始化电路700和传输电路800,通过第一初始化电路600和传输电路800将第一初始化电压Vinit1施加至驱动电路100的第二端130以对驱动电路100的第二端130进行复位,通过第一初始化电路600、传输电路800和补偿控制电路300将第一初始化电压Vinit1施加至驱动电路100的控制端110以对驱动电路100的控制端110进行复位,通过第二初始化电路700将第二初始化电压Vinit2施加 至发光元件900的第一极以对发光元件900进行复位。
例如,参考图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序,在复位阶段t1,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的低电平导通,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的低电平导通,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平导通,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的低电平导通;同时,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,第一复位电压Vinit1可以通过导通的第一晶体管T1和第八晶体管T8传输至第一节点N1,以将第一节点N1(驱动电路100的控制端110)复位至Vinit1;第二复位电压Vinit2可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,并进一步通过导通的第六晶体管T6传输至第三节点N3,以将第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)和第三节点N3(驱动电路100的第二端130)复位至Vinit2。因此,采用上述像素电路的显示装置在每次切换画面时均会对第一节点N1、第三节点N3以及第四节点N4进行复位,进而可以消除迟滞影响。

例如,图6所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,参考图7所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序,在复位阶段t1,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的低电平导通,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的低电平导通,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平导通,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的低电平导通;同时,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,第一复位电压Vinit1 可以通过导通的第八晶体管T8和第一晶体管T1传输至第一节点N1,以将第一节点N1(驱动电路100的控制端110)复位至Vinit1;第二复位电压Vinit2可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,并进一步通过导通的第六晶体管T6传输至第三节点N3,以将第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)和第三节点N3(驱动电路100的第二端130)复位至Vinit2。因此,采用上述像素电路的显示装置在每次切换画面时均会对第一节点N1、第三节点N3以及第四节点N4进行复位,进而可以消除迟滞影响。
例如,图8所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理与图7所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,参考图9所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序,在复位阶段t1,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的低电平导通,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的低电平导通,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平导通,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的低电平导通,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的高电平导通;同时,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止。从而,第一初始化电压端Vinit可以通过导通的第一晶体管T1和第八晶体管T8施加至第三节点N3,进而通过导通的第二晶体管T2施加至第一节点N1,以对第一节点N1进行复位;同时,第一电源端VDD与第一初始化电压端Vinit1之间可以经由导通的第五晶体管T5、第三晶体管T3、第八晶体管T8和第一晶体管T1形成通路,以同时对第二节点N2和第三节点N3进行复位;第二复位电压Vinit2可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,以将第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)复位至Vinit2。因此,采用上述像素电路的显示装置在每次切换画面时均会对第一节点N1、第二节点N2、第三节点N3以及第四节点N4进行复位,进而可以消除迟滞影响。
例如,图10所示的电路结构和图15所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理与图9所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的复位阶段t1的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。
在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,输入第一扫描信号SN1和第二扫描信号SN2,开启数据写入电路200、驱动电路100和补偿控制电路300,通过数据写入电路200将数据信号Vdata写入补偿控制电路300,通过补偿控制电路300对驱动电路100进行补偿。
例如,参考图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序,在数据写入和补偿阶段t2,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的低电平导通,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平导通,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的高电平导通,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通,此时,由于第二晶体管 T2的导通,第三晶体管T3呈二极管连接方式(第三晶体管T3的栅极和第二极连接);同时,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,第二复位电压Vinit2仍然可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,以持续对第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)进行复位;数据信号Vdata经过导通的第四晶体管T4、第三晶体管T3和第二晶体管T2对第一节点N1进行充电(即对电容Cst的第一端)进行充电。容易理解,第二节点N2的电位保持为Vdata,同时,根据第三晶体管T3的自身特性,当第一节点N1的电位(即存储电容Cst的第一端的电位)达到Vdata+Vth时,第三晶体管T3截止,充电过程结束。需要说明的是,Vdata表示数据信号的电压值,Vth表示第三晶体管T3的阈值电压,由于在本实施例中,第三晶体管T3为P型晶体管,所以此处阈值电压Vth可以是个负值。需要注意的是,在此阶段,也可以调整第一复位控制信号RS1和第二复位控制信号RS2,使得第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7截止,而不会对该像素电路的后续发光阶段造成影响,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。
例如,图5所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,图6所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。

例如,图8所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理与图7所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,图9所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,图10所示的电路结构和图15所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理与图9所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的数据写入和补偿阶段t2的工作原理基本相同(区别仅在于第七晶体管T7的类型及对应的第二复位控制信号RS2的有效电平不同),重复之处在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,在本公开的一些实施例中,复位阶段t1与数据写入和补偿阶段t2之间可以存在一定的时间间隔,例如,该时间间隔可以大于预定时间间隔,以通过对第三晶体管T3的栅极电位提前进行复位,改善第三晶体管的磁滞现象,降低像素电路的高低频闪烁(Flicker)。
在保持阶段t3&t4,输入第二扫描信号SN2,关闭补偿控制电路300,通过储能电路350保持驱动电路100的控制端110的电压。
例如,保持阶段t3&t4包括第一保持阶段t3和第二保持阶段t4。

例如,参考图5所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序,在第一保持阶段t3,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通;同时,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的高电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,在第一保持阶段t3,第四晶体管T4导通,持续将数据信号Vdata写入第二节点N2,第二节点N2的电位保持为Vdata;第三晶体管T3截止,且由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位保持在Vdata+Vth,以用于后续在发光阶段时,提供灰度显示数据和对第三晶体管T3自身的阈值电压进行补偿。在第二保持阶段t4,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的低电平导通;同时,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的高电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止。从而,在第二保持阶段t4,由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位仍保持在Vdata+Vth;第三节点N3通过导通的第六晶体管T6与第四节点N4连接,由于在此阶段,第五晶体管T5截止,所以为下一阶段的发光元件LE的发光作准备。
例如,参考图6所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序,在第一保持阶段t3,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通,N型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的高电平导通;同时,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,在第一保持阶段t3,第四晶体管T4导通,持续将数据信号Vdata写入第二节点N2,第二节点N2的电位保持为Vdata;第三晶体管T3截止,且由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位保持在Vdata+Vth,以用于后续在发光阶段时,提供灰度显示数据和对第三晶体管T3自身的阈值电压进行补偿;另外,第二复位电压Vinit2仍然可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,以持续对第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)进行复位。需要注意的是,在此阶段,也可以调整第二复位控制信号RS2,使得第七晶体管T7截止,而不会对该像素电路的后续发光阶段造成影响,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。在第二保持阶段t4,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的低电平导通;同时,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止, N型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止。从而,在第二保持阶段t4,由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位仍保持在Vdata+Vth;第一电源端VDD通过导通的第五晶体管T5对第二节点N2进行充电,第二节点N2的电位由Vdata变为第一电源电压VDD,由于在此阶段,第六晶体管T6截止,所以为下一阶段的发光元件LE的发光作准备。
例如,图7所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,图8所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理与图6所示的电路结构和图14所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,图9所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的保持阶段t3&t4的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。
例如,参考图10所示的电路结构和图15所示的信号时序,在第一保持阶段t3,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通,N型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的高电平导通;同时,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止。从而,在第一保持阶段t3,第四晶体管T4导通,持续将数据信号Vdata写入第二节点N2,第二节点N2的电位保持为Vdata;第三晶体管T3截止,且由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位保持在Vdata+Vth,以用于后续在发光阶段时,提供灰度显示数据和对第三晶体管T3自身的阈值电压进行补偿;另外,第二复位电压Vinit2仍然可以通过导通的第七晶体管T7传输至第四节点N4,以持续对第四节点N4(发光元件LE的第一极)进行复位。需要注意的是,在此阶段,也可以调整第二复位控制信号RS2,使得第七晶体管T7截止,而不会对该像素电路的后续发光阶段造成影响,本公开的实施例对此不作限制。在第二保持阶段t4,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的低电平导通;同时,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的高电平截止,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,N型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的低电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的高电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止。从而,在第二保持阶段t4,由于存储电容Cst的性质,第一节点N1的电位仍保持在Vdata+Vth;第三节点N3通过导 通的第六晶体管T6与第四节点N4连接,由于在此阶段,第五晶体管T5截止,所以为下一阶段的发光元件LE的发光作准备。
在发光阶段t5,输入第一发光控制信号EM1和第二发光控制信号EM2,开启第一发光控制电路400、第二发光控制电路500和驱动电路100,通过第一发光控制电路400将第一电源电压VDD施加驱动电路100的第一端120以使驱动电路100根据驱动电路100的控制端110的电压产生驱动电流,通过第二发光控制电路500将驱动电流施加至发光元件900以使发光元件900发光。
例如,参考图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序,在发光阶段t5,P型的第五晶体管T5被第一发光控制信号EM1的低电平导通,P型的第六晶体管T6被第二发光控制信号EM2的低电平导通;同时,P型的第一晶体管T1被第一复位控制信号RS1的高电平截止,P型的第七晶体管T7被第二复位控制信号RS2的高电平截止,N型的第二晶体管T2被第二扫描信号SN2的低电平截止,P型的第八晶体管T8被传输控制信号TC的高电平截止,P型的第四晶体管T4被第一扫描信号SN1的低电平导通。另外,第一节点N1的电位为Vdata+Vth,第二节点N2的电位为VDD,所以在此阶段,第三晶体管T3也保持导通。第三晶体管T3产生的驱动电流可以根据以下公式得出:
I=0.5μCox*(W/L)*(Vgs-Vth) 2
=0.5μCox*(W/L)*((Vdata+Vth-VDD)-Vth) 2
=0.5μCox*(W/L)*(Vdata-VDD) 2
其中,μ表示载流子迁移率,Cox表示单位面积栅极电容量,W表示第三晶体管沟道的宽度,L表示第三晶体管沟道的长度,Vgs表示第三晶体管栅源电压差,Vth表示第三晶体管的阈值电压,VDD表示第一电源端VDD提供的第一电源电压。从上述公式可以看出,流经发光元件OLED的驱动电流I LE不再与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth有关,而只与控制该像素电路发光的灰度的数据信号Vdata有关,由此可以实现对该像素电路的补偿,解决了第三晶体管T3由于工艺制程及长时间的操作使用造成的阈值电压漂移的问题,消除其对驱动电流的影响,从而可以改善显示效果。
例如,图5所示的电路结构和图13所示的信号时序对应的发光阶段t5的工作原理与图5所示的电路结构和图12所示的信号时序对应的发光阶段t5的工作原理基本相同,重复之处在此不再赘述。

例如,在上述像素电路的驱动方法中,在发光阶段t5,还可以对第四节点N4(发光元件的第一极,例如阳极)进行脉冲宽度调制(PWM)复位。例如,在像素单元显示低灰阶时,往往会借助高频PWM进行亮度的降低;然而,在本公开的实施例中,可以在低频时增加PWM Anode刷新功能,从而可以对低频闪烁(Flicker)有极大的改善。例如,如图16所示(No Anode Reset对应于不进行阳极PWM复位的情形,Anode Reset对应于进行阳极PWM复位的情形),通过增加Anode(阳极)刷新的频率可以极大的提高低灰阶、低频的闪烁,使得人眼能够更佳的观看效果。

例如,如图10所示,每个像素单元P可以连接五条栅线GL(参考图12-15所示的信号时序,第一扫描信号SN1、第二扫描信号SN2、第一发光控制信号EM1、第二发光控制信号EM2、第一复位控制信号RS1、第二复位控制信号RS2和传输控制信号TC中有两对控制信号可以分别共用同一条栅线)、一条数据线DL、用于提供第一电源电压VDD的第一电源电压线、用于提供第二电源电压VSS的第二电源电压线、用于提供第一初始化电压Vinit1的第一初始化电压线和用于提供第二初始化电压Vinit2的第二初始化电压线。例如,第一电源电压线或第二电压线可以用相应的板状或网状公共电极(例如公共阳极或公共阴极)替代。需要说明的是,在图17中仅示出了部分的像素单元P、栅线GL、数据线DL。

例如,数据驱动器14使用参考伽玛电压根据源自定时控制器13的多个数据控制信号DCS将从定时控制器13输入的数字图像数据RGB转换成数据信号。数据驱动器14向多条数据线DL提供转换的数据信号。
例如,定时控制器13对外部输入的图像数据RGB进行处理以匹配显示面板11的大小和分辨率,然后向数据驱动器14提供处理的图像数据。定时控制器13使用从显示装置外部输入的同步信号(例如点时钟DCLK、数据使能信号DE、水平同步信号Hsync以及垂直同步信号Vsync)产生多条扫描控制信号GCS和多条数据控制信号DCS。定时控制器13分别向栅极驱动器12和数据驱动器14提供产生的扫描控制信号GCS和数据控制信号DCS,以用于栅极驱动器12和数据驱动器14的控制。
例如,数据驱动电器14可以与多条数据线DL连接,以提供数据信号Vdata;同时还可以与多条第一电源电压线、多条第二电源电压线、多条第一初始化电压线和多条第二初始化电压线连接以分别提供第一电源电压VDD、第二电源电压VSS、第一初始化电压Vinit1 和第二初始化电压Vinit2。
