在示例性实施方式中,以图4中的7个晶体管均为P型晶体管为例,像 素驱动电路的工作过程可以包括:
第一阶段A1,称为复位阶段,第二扫描信号线S2的信号为低电平信号,第一扫描信号线S1和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号。第二扫描信号线S2的信号为低电平信号使第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7导通。第一晶体管T1导通使得第一初始信号线INIT1的第一初始电压提供至第二节点N2,对存储电容C进行初始化,清除存储电容中原有数据电压。第七晶体管T7导通使得第二初始信号线INIT2的第二初始电压提供至OLED的第一极,对OLED的第一极进行初始化(复位),清空其内部的预存电压,完成初始化。第一扫描信号线S1和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6断开,此阶段OLED不发光。
第二阶段A2、称为数据写入阶段或者阈值补偿阶段,第一扫描信号线S1的信号为低电平信号,第二扫描信号线S2和发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,数据信号线D输出数据电压。此阶段由于存储电容C的第二端为低电平,因此第三晶体管T3导通。第一扫描信号线S1的信号为低电平信号使第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4导通。第二晶体管T2和第四晶体管T4导通使得数据信号线D输出的数据电压经过第一节点N1、导通的第三晶体管T3、第三节点N3、导通的第二晶体管T2提供至第二节点N2,并将数据信号线D输出的数据电压与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压之差充入存储电容C,存储电容C的第二端(第二节点N2)的电压为Vd-|Vth|,Vd为数据信号线D输出的数据电压,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压。第二扫描信号线S2的信号为高电平信号,使第一晶体管T1和第七晶体管T7断开。发光信号线E的信号为高电平信号,使第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6断开。
第三阶段A3、称为发光阶段,发光信号线E的信号为低电平信号,第一扫描信号线S1和第二扫描信号线S2的信号为高电平信号。发光信号线E的信号为低电平信号,使第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6导通,第一电源线VDD输出的电源电压通过导通的第五晶体管T5、第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6向OLED的第一极提供驱动电压,驱动OLED发光。
在像素驱动电路驱动过程中,流过第三晶体管T3(驱动晶体管)的驱动 电流由其栅电极和第一极之间的电压差决定。由于第二节点N2的电压为Vdata-|Vth|,因而第三晶体管T3的驱动电流为:
I=K*(Vgs-Vth) 2=K*[(Vdd-Vd+|Vth|)-Vth] 2=K*[(Vdd-Vd] 2
其中,I为流过第三晶体管T3的驱动电流,也就是驱动OLED的驱动电流,K为常数,Vgs为第三晶体管T3的栅电极和第一极之间的电压差,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压,Vd为数据信号线D输出的数据电压,Vdd为第一电源线VDD输出的电源电压。
随着OLED显示技术的发展,消费者对显示产品显示效果的要求越来越高,窄边框和全面屏成为显示产品发展的新趋势,因此边框的窄化甚至无边框设计在OLED显示产品设计中越来越受到重视。由于绑定区域中集成电路和绑定焊盘的信号线需要通过数据扇出线以扇出方式才能引入到较宽的显示区域,使得扇形区占用空间较大,导致下边框的宽度较大。由于边框区域需要设置栅极驱动电路和电源引线,且栅极驱动电路和电源引线占用空间较大,导致左右边框的宽度较大。
本公开示例性实施例提供了一种显示基板,采用数据扇出线位于显示区域(Fanout in AA,简称FIAA)结构和栅极驱动电路位于显示区域内(Gate Driver In AA,简称GIA)结构。

在示例性实施方式中,第二电路区可以采用密排横向压缩的方式设置多个电路单元PA,压缩出的空间作为栅极电路单元GA的设置空间。由于栅极驱动电路设置在显示区域中的第二电路区,因而有效缩减了显示装置的边框宽度,有效减小了左右边框宽度。
