以下,术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此,限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征。在本公开实施例的描述中,除非另有说明,“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
在描述一些实施例时,可能使用了“耦接”和“连接”及其衍伸的表达。例如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“连接”以表明两个或两个以上部件彼此间有直接物理接触或电接触。又如,描述一些实施例时可能使用了术语“耦接”以表明两个或两个以上部件有直接物理接触或电接触。然而,术语“耦接”或“通信耦合(communicatively coupled)”也可能指两个或两个以上部件彼此间并无直接接触,但仍彼此协作或相互作用。这里所公开的实施例并不必然限制于本文内容。
“A、B和C中的至少一个”与“A、B或C中的至少一个”具有相同含义,均包括以下A、B和C的组合:仅A,仅B,仅C,A和B的组合,A和C的组合,B和C的组合,及A、B和C的组合。

补偿子电路30,与第一节点N1、第三节点N3及补偿控制端G0耦接。补偿子电路30被配置为,在写入阶段,在来自补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号的控制下,将第三节点N3的电压传输至第一节点N1,从而控制驱动子电路打开。示例性的,补偿子电路30包括第一晶体管组T1。第一晶体管组T1包括串联的至少两个第一晶体管T11。第一晶体管T11可以为氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管。
其中,图3以第一晶体管组T1包括串联的两个第一晶体管T11为例进行示意。第一个第一晶体管为T11A,第二个(最后一个)第一晶体管为T11B。可以理解的是,在另一些实施例中,第一晶体管组T1可以包括串联其他数值的第一晶体管T11。
第一晶体管组T1中的所有第一晶体管T11的栅极均与第一扫描信号端Gate1耦接。第一晶体管组T1中的第一个第一晶体管T11A的第一极与第一节点N1耦接,第一晶体管组T1中的最后一个第一晶体管T11B的第二极与第三节点N3耦接。第一晶体管组T1中的第一个第一晶体管T11A的第二极与第一晶体管组T1中的第二个第一晶体管T11B的第一极之间形成第四节点N4。
在一些示例中,请继续参阅图3所示,写入子电路20与第二节点N2、第一扫描信号端Gate1及数据信号端Data耦接,写入子电路20被配置为,在写入阶段,在来自第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的控制下,将在数据信号端Gate1处接收的数据信号传输至第二节点N2。
可以理解的时,采用上述设置方式,在写入阶段,第一扫描信号端Gate1 接收的栅扫描信号的有效信号与补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号的有效信号至少部分同时进行。示例性的,第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的有效信号与补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号的有效信号同步进行。例如,第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号复用为补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号。其中,图3以第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号复用为补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号为例进行示意。
基于此,可以使得写入子电路20在第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的控制下导通,这样写入子电路20将在数据信号端Data处接收的数据信号传输至第二节点N2,该数据信号经驱动子电路10后变为补偿信号,该补偿信号经补偿子电路30传输至第一节点N1,即补偿信号写入完成,也实现了对驱动子电路10的阈值电压Vth的补偿。
需要说明的是,显示面板200中的每个子像素由多个薄膜晶体管(TFT)驱动发光,采用TFT驱动技术可以提升显示速度、对比度和亮度、提高分辨率。但是,TFT存在磁滞效应现象,TFT的磁滞效应是在一定的偏压下,TFT电特性表现出来的一种不确定性,即流过TFT的电流不仅与当前的偏压有关,还与上一时刻TFT所处的状态。TFT的磁滞效应与TFT的栅介质、半导体材料以及两者之间的界面态陷阱有关,在发光阶段,TFT的磁滞效应会造成会引起一帧内电流下降的趋势,人眼察觉为闪烁现象从而影响显示面板200的显示品质。
一个发光周期(一帧)包括一个刷新帧和至少一个保持帧。一个发光周期(一帧)为一个显示帧,也即一个显示画面。刷新帧包括复位阶段、写入阶段及第一发光阶段。保持帧包括发光调节阶段和第二发光阶段。本公开发明人经研究发现,在刷新帧,第一节点N1和第四节点N4的电压基本相同;在保持帧,第四节点N4的电压被第一扫描信号端Gate1电压拉高,导致第四节点N4的电压可能大于第一节点N1的电压。而在第四节点N4的电压大于第一节点N1的电压时,第四节点N4会向第一节点N1漏流,从而会导致第一节点N1的电压无法稳定。使一帧内发光器件的亮度保持率较低,在一帧内的亮度保持率降低到人眼可观察的范围内时,则容易出现闪屏的现象。
在像素驱动电路100包括:驱动子电路10、写入子电路20和补偿子电路30时。本公开对第一节点N1的电压和第四节点N4的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如图4和表1所示。
其中,表1所示的每个发光周期均包括三个保持帧,以一个发光周期内最后一个保持帧的数据为例进行示意。
表1为像素驱动电路100中第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压变化表。
在第一扫描信号端Gate1提供的扫描信号为低电压信号(有效信号)时,在第一扫描信号端Gate1提供的低电压信号的控制下,第一晶体管组T1包括的串联的至少两个第一晶体管T11导通,第四节点N4的电压等于第一节点N1的电压。
在第一扫描信号端Gate1提供的扫描信号变为高电压信号(无效信号)时,在第一扫描信号端Gate1提供的高电压信号的控制下,第一晶体管组T1包括的串联的至少两个第一晶体管T11关闭。此时,由于第一晶体管组中的第一晶体管T1的栅极和源极之间存在的电容Cgs或者栅极和漏极之间存在的电容Cgd,在第一扫描信号端Gate1提供的扫描信号的电压从低电压变为高电压时,在电容Cgs或者电容Cgd的耦合作用下,第四节点N4的电压被拉高。而在第四节点N4的电压被拉高时,会导致第一节点N1的电压无法稳定,使一帧内发光器件的亮度保持率较低,导致低频下显示面板200出现闪屏现象。
图5为本公开又一些实施例的一种像素驱动电路的结构图。图6为本公开又一些实施例的一种像素驱动电路的结构图。
基于此,本公开一些实施例提供的一种像素驱动电路100,继续参阅图3、图5和图6所示,还包括调节子电路40。调节子电路40与第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3耦接、且与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接,调节子电路40被配置为,在发光调节阶段,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3。
其中,“将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3”包括以下三种方式:
第一种:请继续参阅图3所示,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收 的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。
通过设置调节子电路40,调节子电路与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接。在发光调节阶段,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。由于在发光调节阶段的上一阶段未进行数据刷新,第一扫描信号端Gate1的电位较高。第四节点N4的电压被第一扫描信号端Gate1电压拉高,导致第四节点N4的电压可能大于第一节点N1的电压。
由此利用第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第二节点N2的电压。由于驱动子电路10的驱动晶体管的栅极和源极之间存在的栅源电容,在第二节点N2的电压改变时,在栅源电容的耦合作用下,第一节点N1的电压同步改变,从而可以补偿第四节点N4对第一节点N1的电压的影响。在发光调节阶段使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善下一次发光阶段时的亮度变化,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
第二种:请继续参阅图5所示,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第三节点N3。
通过设置调节子电路40,调节子电路与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接。在发光调节阶段,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第三节点N3。由于在发光调节阶段的上一阶段未进行数据刷新,第一扫描信号端Gate1的电位较高。第四节点N4的电压被第一扫描信号端Gate1电压拉高,导致第四节点N4的电压可能大于第一节点N1的电压。由于在发光调节阶段的上一阶段未进行数据刷新,第一扫描信号端Gate1的电位较高。第四节点N4的电压被第一扫描信号端Gate1电压拉高,导致第四节点N4的电压可能大于第一节点N1的电压。
由此利用第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第三节点N3的电压。由于驱动子电路10的驱动晶体管的栅极和漏极之间存在的栅漏电容,在第三节点N3的电压改变时,在栅漏电容的耦合作用下,第一节点N1的电压同步改变,从而可以补偿第四节点N4对第一节点N1的电压的影响。在发光调节阶段,使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善下一次发光阶段时的亮度变化,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
第三种:请继续参阅图6所示,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收 的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和第三节点N3。
通过设置调节子电路40,调节子电路与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接。在发光调节阶段,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和第三节点N3。
由此利用第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第二节点N2和第三节点N3的电压。由于驱动子电路10的驱动晶体管的栅极和漏极之间存在的栅漏电容,栅极和源极之间存在栅源电容。在第二节点N2和第三节点N3的电压改变时,在栅源电容和栅漏电容的耦合作用下,第一节点N1的电压同步改变,从而可以补偿第四节点N4对第一节点N1的电压的影响。在发光调节阶段,使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善下一次发光阶段时的亮度变化,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
综上所述,本公开一些实施例所提供的像素驱动电路100,调节子电路与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3。由此利用第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第二节点N2和第三节点N3的电压。由于驱动子电路10的驱动晶体管的栅极和元漏极存在电容,在驱动晶体管栅源位置处的电压变化时,在电容耦合的作用下,可以同步调节栅极的电压,也即同步调节第一节点N1的电压。从而可以补偿第四节点N4对第一节点N1的电压的影响。使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
图7为本公开一些实施例的一种像素驱动电路,高灰阶状态下,第一节点的电压、发光器件阳极电压的电压变化的仿真图。图8为本公开一些实施例的一种像素驱动电路,低灰阶状态下,第一节点的电压、发光器件阳极电压的电压变化的仿真图。
示例性的,显示面板200包括低灰阶(例如:G0、G15、G30等)状态和高灰阶(例如:G110、G220、G255)状态。在低灰阶状态时,像素驱动电路100中的第一节点N1的电压,高于高灰阶状态时,像素驱动电路100中的第一节点N1的电压。
本公开的一些实施例对高灰阶状态,且像素驱动电路100包括调节子电 路40时,第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证;并且对高灰阶状态,且像素驱动电路100不包括调节子电路时,第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如图7所示。本公开的一些实施例对低灰阶状态,且像素驱动电路100包括调节子电路40时,第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证。并且对低灰阶状态,且像素驱动电路100不包括调节子电路时,第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如图8所示。参阅图7和图8所示,显而易见,高灰阶状态相比低灰阶状态,第一节点N1电压和第四节点N4电压的差异较为明显。
在一些实施例中,继续参阅图3所示,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号的取值范围为-5V~5V。
通过第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第二节点N2的电压,利用电容耦合,调节第一节点N1电压。从而提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
在一些示例中,针对高灰阶状态时,为了满足显示面板200高灰阶状态的需求,需设置像素驱动电路100中第一节点N1的电压值低一些,以便调节驱动子电路10的打开情况。而在第一节点N1电压较低,而第四节点N4电压升高的情况下,导致第一节点N1电压和第四节点N4的电压的差值更大,使一帧内发光器件的亮度保持率较低。由此,设置第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号的取值范围为-5V~5V。将参考电压信号写入第二节点N2,利用第二节点N2的电压变化量调节第一节点N1的电压,从而补偿第四节点对第一节点N1的电压的影响,使得第一节点N1处于动态平衡的状态。提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
示例性的,针对高灰阶状态,且第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为4V时,本公开对第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如表2所示。其中,改善前表示为像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40。改善后表示为像素驱动电路100包括调节子电路40。
根据表2所示,在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为4V时,在像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40时,第一节点N1电压的变化量为0.0713V,发光器件O阳极电压的变化量为0.064V。而在像素驱动电 路100设置调节子电路40时,第一节点N1电压的变化量可以降至0.047V,减少电压变化量0.027V,发光器件O的电压变化量降至0.039V,减少电压变化量0.025V。可以相对稳定第一节点N1的电压,以及提高发光器件O的亮度保持率,改善了及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
表2为高灰阶状态时第一种第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压变化表。
在一些示例中,针对低灰阶状态时,为了满足显示面板200低灰阶状态的需求,需设置像素驱动电路100中第一节点N1的电压值高一些,以便调节驱动子电路10的打开情况。而在第一节点N1电压较高时,第四节点N4电压升高并不会导致第一节点N1电压和第四节点N4的电压的差值更大。也即在低灰阶状态时,显示面板200的闪屏现象不明显。在此基础上,设置第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号的取值范围为-5V~5V。将参考电压信号写入第二节点N2,第二节点N2与第一节点N1的电位差值较小,并不会较为明显的影响第一节点N1的电位,也即不会太大影响第一节点N1电压的保持率。
示例性的,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为-5V、-3V、-1V、1V、3V或者5V。可以理解的是,在另外一些实施例中,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号可以为在-5V~5V这个范围内的其他数值。
示例性的,针对低灰阶状态,且第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为4V时,本公开对第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如表3所示。其中,改善前表示为像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40。改善后表示为像素驱动电路100包括调节子电路40。
表3为低灰阶状态时第一种第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压变化表。
根据表3所示,在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为4V时,在像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40时,第一节点N1电压的变化量为0.017V,发光器件O阳极电压的变化量为0.005V。而在像素驱动电路100设置调节子电路40时,依旧保持原有的电压变化量。所以在像素驱动电路100设置调节子电路40时,可以保持第一节点N1的稳定性,提高发光器件O的亮度保持率。
综上,本公开一些实施例所提供的像素驱动电路100,通过设置调节子电路40,且设置第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号的取值范围为-5V~5V。既可以有效改善高灰阶状态时,像素驱动电路100中第一节点N1电压的稳定性,又可以保持低灰阶状态时,像素驱动电路100中第一节点N1电压的稳定性。从而无论显示面板200处于什么状态时,都可以有效改善闪屏现象。
在一些实施例中,继续参阅图3所示,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号大约为2V。
可以理解为,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号的电压值可以存在一定的偏差。例如,偏差值可以为±1、±0.5等。
针对高灰阶状态,且第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为2V时,本公开的一些实施例对第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压,进行了仿真验证,得到计算结果如表4所示。其中,改善前表示为像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40。改善后表示为像素驱动电路100包括调节子电路40。
根据表4所示,在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为 2V时,在像素驱动电路100未设置调节子电路40时,第一节点N1电压的变化量为0.0713V,发光器件O阳极电压的变化量为0.064V。而在像素驱动电路100设置调节子电路40时,第一节点N1电压的变化量可以降至0.0298V,减少电压变化量0.0415V,发光器件O的电压变化量降至0.027V,减少电压变化量0.037V。相对于在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为4V时,设置为2V可以有效的降低第一节点N1电压和发光器件O阳极电压的变化量,从而可以更好的改善显示面板200的闪屏现象。
表4为高灰阶状态时第二种第一节点N1的电压和发光器件O阳极的电压变化表。
其中,上述仅以第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号为2V、4V时为例进行示意。在另外一些实施例中,第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号可以为-5V~5V范围内的其他数值。

采用上述设置方式,在复位阶段,可以使得调节子电路40在第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下导通,使得第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2,对第二节点N2复位。可以有效抵消驱动子电路10中驱动晶体管的磁滞效应,提升一帧内亮度保持率,进而改善低频下显示面板200的闪屏现象。

在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图10所示,像素驱动电路100还包括第二复位子电路90。
第二复位子电路90,与第二复位信号端Reset2、第二初始化信号端Vinit2、以及发光器件O耦接;第二复位子电路被配置为,在来自第二复位信号端Reset2接收的复位信号的控制下,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O。
示例性的,第二复位子电路90在来自第二复位信号端Reset2接收的复位信号的控制下,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O,对发光器件O的阳极进行复位,提高发光器件O的稳定性。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图10所示,第二复位子电路90包括第七晶体管T7。
第七晶体管T7的栅极与第二复位信号端Reset2耦接,第七晶体管T7的第一极与光学器件O耦接,第七晶体管T7的第二极与第二初始化信号端Vinit2耦接。
示例性的,第二复位子电路90所包括第七晶体管T7,在来自第二复位信号端Reset2接收的低电平(有效电平)信号的控制下导通,将第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O。第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号可以为低电平信号,便于利用该信号对发 光器件O的阳极进行复位,提高发光器件O的稳定性。
图11为本公开一些实施例的又一种像素驱动电路的结构图。在一些实施例中,请参阅图11所示,第二复位信号端Reset2和第二扫描信号端Gate2响应于同一个控制信号的控制。
示例性的,图11以第二扫描信号端Gate2复用为第二复位信号端Reset2为例进行示意。一方面,第二扫描信号端Gate2复用为第二复位信号端Reset2,可以简化像素驱动电路100的结构,有利于降低显示面板200内的布局难度。另一方面,第二复位信号端Reset2和第二扫描信号端Gate2响应于同一个控制信号的控制,第二复位信号端Reset2可以在一帧内对发光器件O的阳极进行多次复位,进一步提高发光器件O的稳定性。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图10所示,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号与使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号反相。
示例性的,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号与使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号反相。可以理解为,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号与使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号交替设置。例如,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号为低电平信号,此时使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号为高电平信号。或者,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号为高电平信号,此时使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号为低电平信号。由此可以保证在使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号控制发光控制子电路80导通之前,对发光器件O的阳极进行复位,便于提高发光器件O的稳定性。
例如,第二初始化信号端Gate2可以为与使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号反相的信号端EM2。此时,信号端EM2和第二初始化信号端Gate2为同一信号端。此时,信号端EM2可以对使能信号端EM1改进得到,后文针对显示面板200内部结构会详细阐述。由此,上述结构还可以简化像素驱动电路100的结构,有利于降低显示面板200内的布局难度。
本公开一些实施例还提供了一种像素驱动电路的驱动方法,该驱动方法应用于上述任一实施例中的像素驱动电路100。
图12为本公开一些实施例的一种像素驱动电路的时序图。在一些实施例中,请参阅图12,以及图9所示。
像素驱动电路100包括:驱动子电路10、写入子电路20、补偿子电路30、发光控制子电路及调节子电路40。驱动子电路10与第一节点N1、第二节点N2及第三节点N3耦接。写入子电路20与第二节点N2、第一扫描信号端Gate1及数据信号端Data耦接。补偿子电路30与第一节点N1、第三节点 N3、补偿控制端G0耦接。发光控制子电路80,与第一电压端VDD、使能信号端EM1、第二节点N2、第三节点N3以及发光器件O耦接。调节子电路40与第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3耦接、且与第二扫描信号端Gate2及第一参考电压信号端Vinit3耦接。
驱动方法包括:多个发光周期F。一个发光周期F(一帧)包括一个刷新帧F1和至少一个保持帧F2。一个发光周期(一帧)为一个显示帧,也即一个显示画面。刷新帧F1包括复位阶段P1、写入阶段P2和第一发光阶段P3。保持帧F2包括发光调节阶段P4和第二发光阶段P5。
在写入阶段P2,写入子电路20,在来自第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的控制下,将在数据信号端Data处接收的数据信号传输至第二节点N2;驱动子电路10将来自第二节点N2的数据信号传输至第三节点N3;补偿子电路30将第三节点N3的电压传输至第一节点N1。
示例性的,在写入阶段P2,第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的有效信号与补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号的有效信号至少部分同时进行。示例性的,第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号的有效信号与补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号的有效信号同步进行。例如,第一扫描信号端Gate1接收的栅扫描信号复用为补偿控制端G0接收的补偿信号。
在第一发光阶段P3,在来自使能信号端EM1的使能信号的控制下,与驱动子电路10配合,向发光器件O传输驱动信号,第一电压端VDD提供的电压信号传输至发光器件O,以驱动发光器件O发光。
在发光调节阶段P4,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3。
示例性的,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。
示例性的,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第三节点N3。
示例性的,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和第三节点N3。
在第二发光阶段P5,发光控制子电路80,在来自使能信号端EM1的信 号的控制下,以及在第一节点N1的控制下,发光控制子电路80与驱动子电路10配合,将第一电压端提供的电压信号传输至发光器件O,以驱动发光器件O发光。
本公开一些实施例所提供的像素驱动电路100,通过在发光调节阶段P4,调节子电路40在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的低电平(有效电平)信号的控制下导通,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3。由于在第一发光阶段P3未进行数据刷新,第一扫描信号端Gate1的电位较高。第四节点N4的电压被第一扫描信号端Gate1电压拉高,导致第四节点N4的电压可能大于第一节点N1的电压。
由此,利用第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号调节第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3的电压。由于驱动子电路10的驱动晶体管的栅极和元漏极之间存在的电容,在第二节点N2和/或第三节点N3的电压改变时,在电容的耦合作用下,第一节点N1的电压同步改变,从而可以补偿第四节点N4对第一节点N1的电压的影响。在发光调节阶段P4使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善在第二发光阶段P5时的亮度变化,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。
其中,一个发光周期F1(一帧)包括一个刷新帧F1和至少一个保持帧F2。图12以包括一个保持帧F2为例进行示意。当一个发光周期F包括多个保持帧F2时,对于保持帧F2内的时序与图12中保持帧F2的时序相同。例如,当一个发光周期F包括一个刷新帧F1和三个保持帧F2时,三个保持帧F2的时序可以理解为重复三次图12中的保持帧F2。在另一些实施例中,一个发光周期F内可以包括其他数值的保持帧F2,具体保持帧F2的数量可以根据显示面板200的驱动状态设置。例如,显示面板200低频驱动时,一个发光周期F内保持帧F2的数量,多于显示面板200高频驱动时一个发光周期F内保持帧F2的数量。也是基于此,由于显示面板200低频驱动时保持帧F2的数量较多,导致显示面板在显示时更容易出现闪烁的现象。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图12所示,在复位阶段P1,调节子电路40将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2,对第二节点N2进行至少一次复位。
示例性的,图12以在复位阶段P1,利用调节子电路40对第二节点N2进行一次复位为例进行示意。在复位阶段P1,调节子电路40在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的低电平(有效电平)信号的控制下导通,将在第一参考电 压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。使得驱动晶体管TD在写入阶段之前的初始状态固定,便于在写入阶段时使驱动晶体管TD处于稳定状态,较大程度的改善驱动晶体管TD的迟滞效应。
综上,本公开一些实施例提供的像素驱动方法,一方面,可以在发光调节阶段P4,通过调节子电路40将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。在电容耦合作用下,利用第二节点N2的电压变化量补偿第一节点N1的电压变化量,使得第一节点N1的电压处于动态平衡,提高第一节点N1的电位稳定性,使一帧内发光器件O的亮度保持率较高,改善了发光器件O及显示面板200的闪屏现象。另一方面,还可以在复位阶段P1,通过调节子电路40对第二节点N2进行复位,使得驱动晶体管TD在写入阶段之前的初始状态固定,便于在写入阶段时使驱动晶体管TD处于稳定状态,较大程度的改善驱动晶体管TD的迟滞效应。
需要说明的是,写入阶段P2包括多次复位第一节点N1电压和将数据信号写入第一节点N1的过程,可以更好的使得驱动晶体管TD处于稳定的状态,可以更好的改善迟滞效应。
图13为本公开一些实施例的又一种像素驱动电路的时序图。在一些示例中,参阅图13所示,在复位阶段P1,对第二节点N2进行多次复位。
在复位阶段P1,通过调节子电路40对第二节点N2进行多次复位。可以复位的更彻底。更有利于在写入阶段时使驱动晶体管TD处于稳定状态,更好的改善驱动晶体管TD的迟滞效应。
示例性的,继续参阅图13所示。在复位阶段P1,对第二节点N2进行2~4次复位。其中,图13以在复位阶段P1,对第二节点N2进行3次复位为例进行示意。
当在复位阶段P1对第二节点N2复位的次数等于或趋近于2次时,既可以实现对第二节点N2进行复位,又可以防止复位次数过多导致影响了占空比而影响显示效果的问题。当在复位阶段P1对第二节点N2复位的次数等于或趋近于4次时,可以在尽量不影响占空比的同时更彻底的对第二节点N2的复位。
示例性的,在复位阶段P1对第二节点N2复位的次数可以为2次、3次或4次。
图14为本公开一些实施例的又一种像素驱动电路的时序图。在一些实施例中,请参阅图14所示,在复位阶段P1,调节子电路40对第二节点N2进行复位后,第一复位子电路70,在来自第一复位信号端Reset1接收的第一 复位信号的控制下,将在第一初始化信号端Vinit1接收的初始化信号传输至第一节点N1。
示例性的,在复位阶段P1,第一复位信号端Reset1接收的低电平(有效电平)信号早于第一复位信号端Reset1接收的低电平(有效电平)信号。使得调节子电路40相比于第一复位子电路70提前导通。也即先通过调节子电路40对第二节点N2进行复位,再通过第一复位子电路70对第一节点N1进行复位。相对于图12所示的同时复位的情况,可以使得驱动晶体管TD的复位保持时间更长一些,从而可以更彻底的改善迟滞效应。
图15为本公开一些实施例的又一种像素驱动电路的时序图。在一些实施例中,请参阅图15所示,在写入阶段P2,将在数据信号端Data处接收的数据信号传输至第一节点N1后,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2,对第二节点N2进行复位。
示例性的,在写入阶段P2中,写入子电路20中的第三晶体管T3导通,将数据信号端Data提供的数据信号写入第二节点N2,第二节点N2的数据信号经过驱动子电路10中的驱动晶体管TD写入第三节点N3,第三节点N3的数据信号经过补偿子电路30中的第一晶体管组T1对第一节点N1进行补偿。第一节点N1的电位逐渐上升至Vdata+Vth。其中,Vdata为数据信号端Data提供的数据信号的电压值,Vth为驱动子电路10中的驱动晶体管TD的阈值电压。
而上述写入过程中,会改变第二节点N2的电压。由此,在完成上述过程后再次对第二节点N2进行刷新,可以使驱动晶体管TD每次存储的电压数值相同,有利于改善驱动晶体管TD存在迟滞效应的问题。使得像素驱动电路100每次开启亮度的时间大致相同,提高显示面板的显示效果。
在一些实施例中,继续参阅图12,以及结合图10所示。在写入阶段P2,对第一存储子电路50充电。在第一发光阶段P3,第一存储子电路50放电至第二节点N2,补偿第二节点N2的电压。
示例性的,在写入阶段P2,写入子电路20所包括的第三晶体管T3在第一扫描信号端Gate1传输的低电平信号的控制下导通,此时数据信号端Data处接收的数据信号传输至第二节点N2;同时数据信号端Data处接收的数据信号也传输至第一电容C1,对第一电容C1充电。当调节子电路40在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的低电平信号的控制下导通,此时第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2。在调节子电路40在来自第 二扫描信号端Gate2传输的高电平信号的控制下关断时,此时,第一电容C1可以保持第二节点N2的电压,从而保持第一节点N1电压的稳定性。
在一些实施例中,继续参阅图12,以及结合图11所示。在复位阶段P1和发光调节阶段P4,调节子电路40,在来自第二扫描信号端Gate2传输的扫描信号的控制下,将在第一参考电压信号端Vinit3处接收的参考电压信号传输至第二节点N2;同时第二复位子电路90,在来自第二复位信号端Reset2接收的第二复位信号的控制下,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2传输至发光器件O。
示例性的,第二复位信号端Reset2和第二扫描信号端Gate2响应于同一个控制信号的控制同步导通或者关断。例如,第二扫描信号端Gate2可以复用为第二复位信号端Reset2。
在复位阶段P1,在第二扫描信号端Gate2提供的低电平(有效电平)信号的控制下,调节子电路40和第二复位子电路90同时导通,也即同时对第二节点N2和发光器件O进行至少一次复位,使得驱动晶体管TD在写入阶段之前的初始状态固定,便于在写入阶段时使驱动晶体管TD处于稳定状态,以及提高发光器件O的稳定性,改善显示面板200的闪屏现象。
在发光调节阶段P4,在第二扫描信号端Gate2提供的低电平(有效电平)信号的控制下,调节子电路40和第二复位子电路90同时导通,也即同时对第二节点N2和发光器件O进行刷新,利用第二节点N2的电压变化量补偿第一节点N1的电压变化量,使得第一节点N1的电压可以大致处于动态平衡状态。而此时,也可以再次对发光器件O进行刷新,相对于仅在复位阶段P1对发光器件O阳极复位一次的方案,可以更好的稳定发光器件O的亮度。
图16为本公开一些实施例的又一种像素驱动电路的时序图。在一些实施例中,请参阅图16,以及结合图9所示,在第一发光阶段P3,发光控制子电路80在来自使能信号端EM1的使能信号的控制下,与驱动子电路10配合,向发光器件O传输驱动信号。
在复位阶段P1和发光调节阶段P4,第二复位子电路90在来自第二复位信号端Reset2接收的复位信号的控制下,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O。
可以理解为,第二初始化信号端Gate2接收的初始化信号与使能信号端EM1接收的使能信号交替设置。示例性的,与使能信号端EM1反相的控制端EM2替换第二复位信号端Reset2。例如,使能信号端EM1提供低电平,控制端EM2提供高电平;或者使能信号端EM1提供高电平,控制端EM2 提供低电平。
采用上述设置方式,使得发光控制子电路80和第二复位子电路90交替打开。
在复位阶段P1,在使能信号端EM1提供高电平(无效电平)信号,控制端EM2提供低电平(有效电平)信号。此时,发光控制子电路80在使能信号端EM1的高电平控制下断开,第二复位子电路90在控制端EM2的低电平控制下导通,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O,对发光器件O的阳极进行复位。
在第一发光阶段P3,在使能信号端EM1提供低电平(有效电平)信号,控制端EM2提供高电平(无效电平)信号。此时,第二复位子电路90在控制端EM2的高电平信号的控制下断开,发光控制子电路80在使能信号端EM1的低电平的控制下导通,与驱动子电路配合,驱动发光器件O发光。
在发光调节阶段P4,在使能信号端EM1提供高电平(无效电平)信号,控制端EM2提供低电平(有效电平)信号。此时,发光控制子电路80在使能信号端EM1的高电平控制下断开,第二复位子电路90在控制端EM2的低电平控制下导通,将在第二初始化信号端Vinit2接收的初始化信号传输至发光器件O,对发光器件O的阳极的电位进行刷新。

上述设置方式,一方面,有源层POLY和遮挡层LS之间的膜层数量较少,甚至可能存在有源层POLY和遮挡层LS之间仅包括一个绝缘层的情况。将第一电容C1的两个极板分别设置在有源层POLY和遮挡层LS中,有利于增大第一电容C1的电容值。另一方面,遮挡层LS的第二部分LS2和第一部分LS1可以利用同一掩模板通过一次构图工艺形成的层结构,有利于简化显示面板200的制作工艺。
