随着OLED显示技术的逐渐成熟和良率不断提高,OLED显示装置的成本不断下降,使得OLED显示装置逐渐应用于更多领域,例如中大尺寸的电子产品领域。随着显示基板的尺寸的增大,由于采用低温多晶硅(LTPS,Low Temperature Poly-Silicon)薄膜晶体管的显示基板的良率下降,导致成本偏高,因而全部采用氧化物(Oxide)晶体管的显示基板开始被重视。

在示例性实施方式中,像素驱动电路可以包括第一节点N1、第二节点N2、第三节点N3和第四节点N4。其中,第一节点N1分别与第一晶体管T1的第二极、第二晶体管T2的第一极、第三晶体管T3的栅电极和存储电容C的第一端连接,第二节点N2分别与第二晶体管T2的第二极、第三晶体管T3的第一极和第五晶体管T5的第二极连接,第三节点N3分别与第三晶体管T3的第二极、第四晶体管T4的第二极和第六晶体管T6的第一极连接,第四节点N4分别与第六晶体管T6的第二极、第七晶体管T7的第二极和存储电容C的第二端连接,第四节点N4还与发光器件EL的阳极连接。
在示例性实施方式中,存储电容C的第一端与第一节点N1连接,存储电容C的第二端与第四节点N4连接,即存储电容C的第一端与第三晶体管T3的栅电极连接,存储电容C的第二端与发光器件EL的阳极连接。
在示例性实施方式中,第一晶体管T1的栅电极与第三扫描信号线S3连接,第一晶体管T1的第一极与第一初始信号线INIT1连接,第一晶体管T1的第二极与第一节点N1连接。当导通电平扫描信号施加到第三扫描信号线S3时,第一晶体管T1导通,将第一初始化电压传输到存储电容C的第一端,实现存储电容C的初始化。

在示例性实施方式中,第五晶体管T5的栅电极与发光信号线E连接,第五晶体管T5的第一极与第一电源线VDD连接,第五晶体管T5的第二极与第二节点N2连接。第六晶体管T6的栅电极与发光信号线E连接,第六晶体管T6的第一极与第三节点N3连接,第六晶体管T6的第二极与第四节点N4连接。当导通电平发光信号施加到发光信号线E时,第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6通过在第一电源线VDD与发光器件之间形成驱动电流路径而使发光器件发光。

在示例性实施方式中,发光器件EL可以是OLED,包括叠设的第一极(阳极)、有机发光层和第二极(阴极),或者可以是QLED,包括叠设的第一极(阳极)、量子点发光层和第二极(阴极)。
在示例性实施方式中,像素驱动电路的七个晶体管可以是N型晶体管。像素驱动电路中采用相同类型的晶体管可以简化工艺流程,减少显示基板的工艺难度,提高产品的良率。
在示例性实施方式中,像素驱动电路的七个晶体管可以采用氧化物薄膜晶体管。氧化物薄膜晶体管的有源层可以采用氧化物半导体(Oxide)。氧化物薄膜晶体管具有漏电流低等优点,采用设置氧化物薄膜晶体管的显示基 板,可以实现低频驱动,可以降低功耗,可以提高显示品质。
在示例性实施方式中,发光器件的第二极与第二电源线VSS连接,第一电源线VDD可以配置为向像素驱动电路提供恒定的第一电压信号,第二电源线VSS可以配置为向像素驱动电路提供恒定的第二电压信号,并且第一电压信大于第二电压信号。第一初始信号线INIT1可以配置为向像素驱动电路提供第一初始信号,第二初始信号线INIT2可以配置为向像素驱动电路提供第二初始信号。例如,第一初始信号可以不同于第二初始信号。第一初始信号和第二初始信号可以为恒压信号,其大小例如可以介于第一电源线VDD提供的第一电压信号和第二电源线VSS提供的第二电压信号之间,但不限于此。在一些可能的示例性实施方式中,第一初始信号与第二初始信号可以相同,可以仅设置第一初始信号线来提供第一初始信号。
在示例性实施方式中,以像素驱动电路包括的第一晶体管T1至第七晶体管T7均为N型晶体管为例,像素驱动电路的工作过程可以包括以下阶段。
第一阶段A1,称为初始化阶段。第三扫描信号线S3提供的高电平信号使第一晶体管T1导通,第一初始信号线INIT1提供的第一初始信号被提供至第一节点N1,对第一节点N1进行初始化,清除存储电容C中原有数据电压。此阶段第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4、第五晶体管T5、第六晶体管T6以及第七晶体管T7断开,发光元件EL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、第二扫描信号线S2和第四扫描信号线S4提供高电平信号,使第二晶体管T2、第四晶体管T4和第七晶体管T7导通。此阶段由于存储电容C的第一端为高电平,因此第三晶体管T3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Vd经过第三节点N3、导通的第三晶体管T3、第二节点N2、导通的第二晶体管T2提供至第一节点N1,并将数据信号线D输出的数据电压Vd与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压Vth之差充入存储电容C。第七晶体管T7导通使得第二初始信号线INIT2提供的第二初始信号提供至发光元件EL的阳极,对发光元件EL的阳极进行初始化(复位),清空其内部的预存电压,完成初始化,确保发光元件EL不发光。此 阶段第一晶体管T1、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。发光控制线E提供高电平信号,使第五晶体管T5和第六晶体管T6导通,第一电源线VDD输出的第一电压信号通过导通的第五晶体管T5、第三晶体管T3和第六晶体管T6向发光元件EL的阳极提供驱动电压,驱动发光元件EL发光。
在像素驱动电路的驱动过程中,流过第三晶体管T3(即驱动晶体管)的驱动电流由其栅极和第一极之间的电压差决定。由于第一节点N1的电压为Vd-|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,也就是驱动发光元件EL的驱动电流,K为常数,Vgs为第三晶体管T3的栅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输出的第一电压信号。
由上式中可以看到,流经发光元件EL的电流与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压无关。本实施例的像素驱动电路可以较好地补偿第三晶体管T3的阈值电压。

在示例性实施方式中,第二连接电极52可以通过过孔与第五有源层的第一区连接,由于第二连接电极52被配置为与第一电源线连接,因而实现了第一电源线通过第二连接电极52将第一电源电压写入第五晶体管T5的第一极。

在示例性实施方式中,由于第三连接电极53作为像素驱动电路的第二节点N2,第一电源线62与第三连接电极53之间交叠会导致第二节点N2的寄生电容,因而避让结构62-1可以减小第一电源线62与第三连接电极53之间的交叠面积,降低像素驱动电路中第二节点N2的寄生电容。
在示例性实施方式中,由于避让结构62-1使得第一电源线62向着远离阳极连接电极61的方向弯折,因而可以在第一电源线62和阳极连接电极61之间留出较大的空间,有利于设置第一凸块61-1和/或第二凸块61-2,有利于像素驱动电路中第四节点N4的耦合电容设计。

研究发现,硅氮化物的氢(H)含量较多,氢元素入侵半导体层会导致氧化物薄膜晶体管特性负偏以及负偏置温度应力(NBTS)信赖性恶化,导致显示基板的工艺调试难度较大。本公开通过将采用硅氮化物的第一绝缘层(电容绝缘层)设置在半导体层靠近基底的一侧,即第一极板和第二极板之间的电容绝缘层没有位于半导体层和第三导电层之间,且半导体层与第一绝缘层之间还间隔有第二绝缘层,因而可以阻挡第一绝缘层中氢元素的渗透,从而避免了氢元素对氧化物薄膜晶体管的特性的影响,提升氧化物薄膜晶体管的特性稳定性。
