- the Reset signal is low, while the Gate and EM signals are high.
- transistors T1 and T7 are turned on.
- the INIT1 signal is sent to node N2 to initialize (reset) capacitor C, clearing its charge.

在示例性实施方式中,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,复位信号线Reset的信号为低电平信号,扫描信号线Gate和发光信号线EM的信号为高电平信号。复位信号线Reset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,第一初始信号线INIT1的信号提供至第二节点N2,对电容C进行初始化(复位),清除电容中原有电荷,第二初始信号线INIT2的信号提供至发光器件的阳极,对发光器件的第一电极进行初始化(复位),清除电容中原有电荷。扫描信号线Gate和发光信号线EM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、第六晶体管T6断开,此阶段发光器件不发光。
第二阶段A2、称为数据写入阶段或者阈值补偿阶段,扫描信号线Gate的信号为低电平信号,复位信号线Reset和发光信号线EM的信号为高电平信号,数据信号线Data输出数据电压。此阶段由于电容C的第二端为低电平,因此第三晶体管T3导通。扫描信号线Gate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Data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Data输出的数据电压与第三晶体管T3的阈值电压之差充入电容C,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Data输出的数据电压,Vth为第三晶体管T3的阈值电压。复位信号线Reset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EM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EM的信号为低电平信号,扫描信号线Gate和复位信号线Reset的信号为高电平信号。发光信号线EM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向发光器件的第一电极提供驱动电压,驱动发光器件发光。
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
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Data输出的数据电压,Vdd为第一电源线VDD输出的电源电压。
由上述电流公式的推导结果可以看出,在发光阶段,第三晶体管T3的驱动电流已经不受第三晶体管T3的阈值电压的影响,从而消除了第三晶体管T3的阈值电压对驱动电流的影响,可以保证显示产品的显示亮度均匀,提升了整个显示产品的显示效果。
