Description

显示面板及显示装置 技术领域
本申请涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示面板及显示装置。
背景技术
目前,虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)产品是显示领域的研究热点之一。为了满足用户多样化的需求,虚拟现实产品需要具有高分辨率以及良好的亮度均一性。然而,对于制备虚拟现实产品的显示装置而言,相关技术中显示装置的像素驱动电路占用较多的空间,导致较难同时实现虚拟现实产品的高分辨率和良好的亮度均一性。
发明概述
有鉴于此,本申请提供一种显示面板及显示装置,以兼顾显示面板和显示装置的高分辨率和亮度均一性。
第一方面,本申请提供一种显示面板。显示面板具有显示区。显示面板包括位于显示区的多个发光器件以及多个像素电路、感测线以及外部电路。多个像素电路包括分别与多个发光器件连接的第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路。第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路均包括驱动晶体管。所述感测线与所述第二类像素电路的所述驱动晶体管连接,以接收所述第二类像素电路中导通的所述驱动晶体管输出的电信号。所述外部电路与所述感测线连接,且被配置为获取所述电信号。
第二方面,本申请还提供一种显示装置,显示装置包括上述显示面板。
有益效果
在本申请的一些实施例的显示面板和显示装置中,多个像素电路包括第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路。感测线与第二类像素电路的驱动晶体管连接,以接收第二类像素电路中导通的驱动晶体管输出的电信号。外部电路与感测线连接,且被配置为获取电信号。如此,第二类像素电路、感测线以及外部电路相互搭配,能侦测第二类像素电路的驱动晶体管的阈值电压对应的电信号,而第一类像素电路不具有支持侦测电信号的功能。外部电路可以根据电信号得到第二类像素电路中驱动晶体管的阈值电压的补偿值,利用补偿值对第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路的驱动晶体管进行阈值电压补偿,进而提高显示面板的亮度均一性。同时,第一类像素电路不具有支持侦测电信号的功能,使得第一类像素电路中的晶体管的数目较小,第一类像素电路占用的布设面积较小,进而有利于增加像素电路的数目,使得显示面板和显示装置实现高分辨率显示。换言之,第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路的混合式搭配设计,可以兼顾显示面板和显示装置的高分辨率和亮度均一性。

驱动单元40可以包括源极驱动器。
第一方向x与第二方向y相交。在一些实施例中,第一方向x与第二方向y可以垂直。在另一些实施例中,第一方向x与第二方向y之间的夹角可以为锐角或钝角。
图2为沿图1所示显示面板中的A-A’切线截取的剖面结构示意图。
如图2所示,显示面板100包括基底31、驱动电路层32以及发光器件层33。驱动电路层32设置于基底31上,发光器件层33设置于驱动电路层32背离基底31的一侧。
在一些实施例中,基底31可以包括玻璃基底,可以降低显示面板的制造成本。在另一些实施例中,基底31也可以包括柔性基底,使得显示面板100具有可弯折的功能。在又一些实施例中,基底31还可以包括硅基等半导体基底。
发光器件层33包括多个发光器件331。多个发光器件331位于显示区100a。每个发光器件331可以包括阳极、阴极以及位于阳极与阴极之间的发光层。多个发光器件331可以共用一个阴极。在一些实施例中,发光层可以包括有机发光层,使得发光器件331为有机发光二极管。有机发光层包括有机材料。在另一些实施例中,发光层也可以包括无机发光层。
显示面板100还可以包括薄膜封装层34,薄膜封装层34对发光器件层33起到保护作用,降低氧气和水汽对发光器件331造成侵蚀的风险。薄膜封装层34位于发光器件层33背离基底31的一侧。薄膜封装层34可以包括两个无机薄膜封装层以及位于两个无机薄膜封装层之间的有机薄膜封装层。
在一些实施例中,显示面板100还可以包括功能层(未示意出),功能层包括圆偏光片、滤光层以及触控层中的至少一者。一些功能层可以设置于薄膜封装层34背离显示面板100的一侧。一些功能层也可以集成于显示面板100的内部,以薄化显示面板100的厚度。例如,将触控层集成于显示面板100的内部。
驱动电路层32包括多条数据线328、多条扫描线325以及多条发光控制信号线326。
图3为本申请的一些实施例的多个像素电路设置于显示区的平面结构示意图,图4为本申请的另一些实施例的多个像素电路设置于显示区的平面结构示意图。
如图3和图4所示,驱动电路层32还包括多个像素电路321,多个像素电路321分别与多个发光器件331连接,以驱动多个发光器件331发光,使得显示面板100能显示画面。
多个像素电路321位于显示区100a。多个像素电路321包括互相不同的第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323,以兼顾显示面板100的高分辨率和亮度均一性。
其中,第一类像素电路322不包括用于侦测其内部晶体管的阈值电压的功能器件,使得第一类像素电路322中的功能器件的数目可以较少,其占用的布设面积较小。在显示面板100的显示区100a的面积一定的情况下,第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积较小,显示区100a能设置更多的像素电路321,以满足对显示面板100的高分辨率需求。第二类像素电路323包括用于侦测其内部晶体管的阈值电压的功能器件。利用侦测的晶体管的阈值电压计算阈值电压的补偿值,基于补偿值对第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的晶体管的阈值电压进行粗补偿,进而满足显示面板100对良好的亮度均一性需求。
需要说明的是,尽管图3和图4示意出第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323间隔开,其只是为了示意出第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323的排布设计。第二类像素电路323与第二类像素电路323可以相邻且连续地设置。
图5为本申请的一些实施例的第一类像素电路的电路图,图6为本申请的一些实施例的第二类像素电路的电路图。
如图5和图6所示,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的每一者均包括驱动晶体管T1。
如图3、图4以及图6所示,显示面板100还包括感测线327。感测线327与第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1连接,以接收第二类像素电路323中导通的驱动晶体管T1输出的电信号。外部电路50与感测线327连接,且被配置为获取电信号。
第二类像素电路323、感测线327以及外部电路50相互搭配,能侦测第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压对应的电信号,而第一类像素电路322不具有支持侦测电信号的功能。外部电路50可以根据电信号得到第二类像素电路323中驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的补偿值,利用补偿值对第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1进行阈值电压补偿,进而提高显示面板100的亮度均一性。同时,第一类像素电路322不具有支持侦测电信号的功能,使得第一类像素电路322中的晶体管的数目较小,第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积较小,进而有利于增加像素电路的数目,使得显示面板和显示装置实现高分辨率显示。换言之,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323的混合式搭配设计,可以兼顾显示面板的高分辨率和亮度均一性。
如图5和图6所示,在一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的每一者还包括开关晶体管T2。第二类像素电路323还包括感测晶体管T4,而第一类像素电路322不包括感测晶体管T4。如此,第一类像素电路322不包括用于侦测第一类像素电路322中驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的晶体管,而第二类像素电路323包括用于侦测第二类像素电路323中驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的晶体管,第一类像素电路322中晶体管的数目少于第二类像素电路323中晶体管的数目。
每个发光器件331的阴极接收第一电源电压VSS。第一电源电压VSS可以为低电平电压。
在第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中,驱动晶体管T1导通时产生驱动电流,以驱动发光器件331发光。驱动晶体管T1包括栅极、第一极以及第二极。驱动晶体管T1的第一极与发光器件331的阳极连接。驱动晶体管T1的第二极接收第二电源电压VDD。第二电源电压VDD与第一电源电压VSS不同。例如,第二电源电压VDD可以大于第一电源电压VSS,且第二电源电压VDD可以为高电平电压。
在本申请中,第一极为源极和漏极中的一者,第二极为源极和漏极中的另一者。
在第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中,开关晶体管T2控制数据线328传输的数据信号Data传输至驱动晶体管T1的栅极。开关晶体管T2包括第一极、第二极以及栅极。开关晶体管T2的第一极接收数据信号Data。开关晶体管T2的第二极与驱动晶体管T1的栅极连接。开关晶体管T2的栅极接收扫描线325传输的扫描信号Pscan。
在第二类像素电路323中,感测晶体管T4控制驱动晶体管T1导通时其第一极输出的电流或电压的感测。感测晶体管T4包括第一极和第二极。感测晶体管T4的第一极与驱动晶体管T1的第一极连接。感测晶体管T4的第二极与感测线327连接。感测线327与外部电路50连接。如此,第二类像素电路323是可以实现阈值电压的外部补偿的像素电路。比起实现阈值电压的内部补偿的像素电路,例如,7T1C像素电路,即包括7个晶体管和一个电容器的像素电路,第二类像素电路323中晶体管的数目更少,更有利于实现高分辨率。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6所示,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的每一者均还均包括电容器C。电容器C连接于驱动晶体管T1的第一极与驱动晶体管T1的栅极之间。如此,驱动晶体管T1导通时,电容器C保证驱动晶体管T1能稳定地驱动发光器件331发光。
如图1、图3以及图4所示,外部电路50还可以包括与驱动单元40连接的外部处理电路51。外部处理电路51可以通过感测线327接收第二类像素电路323中驱动晶体管T1导通时的电信号(感测电流或感测电压),将电信号从模拟信号转换为数字信号后,再进行运算,得到驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压或者驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的补偿值。接着,外部处理电路51中的存储单元(未示意出)存储阈值电压或者补偿值,然后,阈值电压或者补偿值从数字信号转换为模拟信号后传输至驱动单元40,驱动单元40根据阈值电压或补偿值中的一种对应的模拟信号和亮度曲线,对第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压进行精细化的补偿,改善显示面板100的亮度均一性。其中,亮度曲线是通过获取显示面板显示时的显示画面,计算显示面板的亮度差异得到。亮度曲线的获取是常规技术,此处不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,外部处理电路51可以包括模数转换电路(未示意出)、计算单元(未示意出)、存储单元(未示意出)以及数模转换电路(未示意出)。
模数转换电路通过感测线327接收第二类像素电路323中驱动晶体管T1导通时的电信号(感测电流或感测电压),将电信号转换为数字信号。
计算单元接收模数转换电路输出的数字信号,并基于预设数据集和数字信号计算得到驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压或者驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的补偿值。预设数据集可以包括预设电信号与预设阈值电压之间映射关系对应的数据,或者,预设数据集可以包括预设电信号与预设补偿值之间映射关系对应的数据。
存储单元接收计算单元计算得到的阈值电压或者补偿值。
数模转换电路接收阈值电压或者补偿值,并将其转换为模拟信号输出至驱动单元40。
图5所示第一类像素电路322包括两个晶体管和一个电容器,该第一类像素电路322的晶体管的数目较少,能满足高分辨率的要求。图6所示第二类像素电路323包括三个晶体管和一个电容器,晶体管的数目较少进而满足高分辨率的要求,同时还能实现阈值电压的外部补偿。图5所示第一类像素电路322和图6所示第二类像素电路323的混合式设计,兼顾驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的外部补偿的同时,显示面板100中有更多的空间设置像素电路321进而实现高分辨率。
在相关技术中,显示面板的像素电路通常使用单一类型的像素电路,难以同时兼顾高分辨率和阈值电压补偿。例如,玻璃基有机发光二极管显示面板通常采用具有内部补偿功能的7T1C像素电路,可以实现阈值电压补偿进而改善亮度均一性,但该像素电路中的晶体管数目太多,导致难以实现1500每英寸像素及以上的像素密度。
在一些实施例中,对于图5和图6所示的第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323,第二电源电压VDD和第一电源电压VSS可以均是固定电源电压信号,即第二电源电压VDD和第一电源电压VSS均是不变的。
在另一些实施例中,对于图5和图6所示的第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323,第二电源电压VDD和第一电源电压VSS中的至少一者是可以变化,以使得第二电源电压VDD与第一电源电压VSS的差值可以变化。通过不同的差值可以控制驱动晶体管T1是否导通。驱动晶体管T1导通时,发光器件331发光,显示面板显示一定亮度的画面。驱动晶体管T1关闭时,显示面板显示黑画面,即显示面板具有插黑功能。因此,通过图5所示的第一类像素电路322和图6所示的第二类像素电路323的混合式设计,可以兼顾显示面板的高分辨率、阈值电压的外部补偿以及插黑功能。
在另一些实施例中,在驱动晶体管T1导通的情况下,第二电源电压VDD与第一电源电压VSS的差值为第一差值。在驱动晶体管T1关闭的情况下,第二电源电压VDD与第一电源电压VSS的差值为第二差值,第二差值与第一差值不同。
在一些实施例中,感测晶体管T4还包括栅极,感测晶体管T4的栅极接收扫描线325传输的扫描信号Pscan。如此,在每个第二类像素电路323中,感测晶体管T4的栅极和开关晶体管T2的栅极可以连接传输扫描信号Pscan的一条扫描线325,减少扫描线的数目,提供更多的空间设置像素电路321,进一步地提高显示面板100的分辨率。并且,在扫描线325的延伸方向上,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323的开关晶体管T2的栅极也可以连接传输扫描信号Pscan的一条扫描线325,进一步地减少扫描线的数目,提供更多的空间设置像素电路321,进一步地提高显示面板100的分辨率。
在另一些实施例中,在第二类像素电路323中,感测晶体管T4的栅极与开关晶体管T2的栅极也可以分别接收两个不同的扫描信号。如此,感测晶体管T4和开关晶体管T2分别受控于不同的扫描信号,两者能独立地被控制,进而更好地实现数据信号Data的写入和阈值电压的侦测。
图7为本申请的另一些实施例的第一类像素电路的电路图,图8为本申请的另一些实施例的第二类像素电路的电路图。
在另一些实施例中,图7所示的第一类像素电路与图5所示第一类像素电路基本相似,图8所示的第二类像素电路与图6所示的第二类像素电路基本相似,相同之处不再赘述,不同之处包括,图7所示第一类像素电路322和图8所示第二类像素电路323中的每一者均还均包括发光控制晶体管T3。发光控制晶体管T3用于控制发光器件331的发光时间。发光控制晶体管T3导通时,发光器件331发光,显示面板100显示一定亮度的画面。发光控制晶体管T3关闭时,发光器件331不发光,显示面板100显示黑画面,即显示面板100具有插黑功能。
在图7所示第一类像素电路322和图8所示第二类像素电路323中,第二电源电压VDD和第一电源电压VSS可以均是固定电源电压信号。
在一些实施例中,发光控制晶体管T3可以包括栅极、第一极以及第二极。发光控制晶体管T3的栅极接收发光控制信号线326传输的发光控制信号EM。发光控制晶体管T3的第一极接收第二电源电压VDD。发光控制晶体管T3的第二极与驱动晶体管T1的第二极连接。如此,发光控制晶体管T3的第一极和第二极连接于驱动晶体管T1的第二极与传输第二电源电压VDD的电源信号线之间,降低第一类像素电路322和第二像素电路321工作时的功耗。
图7所示第一类像素电路322包括3个晶体管和一个电容器C,该第一类像素电路322中晶体管的数目较少,能满足高分辨率的要求,还满足显示面板的插黑功能。图8所示第二类像素电路323包括4个晶体管和一个电容器C,该第二类像素电路323中能同时实现驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的侦测,满足显示面板的插黑功能。如此,第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323的混合式设计,兼顾驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的外部补偿以及显示面板100的插黑功能的同时,显示面板100中有更多的空间设置像素电路321进而实现高分辨率。
对于图7至图8所示的第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323,在第二类像素电路323中增设感测晶体管T4,并在第一类像素电路322和第二类像素中同时增设发光控制晶体管T3,以在实现阈值电压的外部补偿和插黑功能的同时,提高显示面板100的分辨率。
并且,结合图5至图8可知,在第二类像素电路323具有支持侦测阈值电压对应的电信号的功能,而第一类像素电路322不具有支持侦测阈值电压对应的电信号的功能的基础之上,第一类像素电路322中晶体管的数目小于第二类像素电路323中晶体管的数目,且第二类像素电路323中晶体管的数目小于或等于4,可以保证显示面板100能实现像素电路的阈值电压的外部补偿以提高显示面板的亮度均一性的同时,能提高显示面板的分辨率。
可以理解的是,还可以基于显示面板100的其他功能需求,在第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中增加一些晶体管。例如可以增设对驱动晶体管T1的栅极进行初始化的初始化晶体管,或者,增设对发光器件331的阳极进行初始化的复位晶体管等。当然,增设晶体管,一定程度上会影响显示面板100的分辨率。在一些实施例中,一个第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积小于一个第二类像素电路323占用的布设面积。如此,第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积较小,提供更多的空间设置更多的像素电路321,进而提高显示面板100的分辨率。
需要说明的是,第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积等于第一类像素电路322在基底31上的正投影面积,第二类像素电路323占用的布设面积等于第二类像素电路323在基底31上的正投影面积。第一类像素电路322在基底31上的正投影面积可以等于第一类像素电路322中的多个晶体管、电容器C以及连接多个晶体管和电容器C的走线在基底31上的正投影面积的总和。第二类像素电路323在基底31上的正投影面积同理,此处不再赘述。
如前所述,第一类像素电路322不包括感测晶体管T4,第二类像素电路323包括感测晶体管T4,使得第一类像素电路322中晶体管的数目小于第二类像素电路323中晶体管的数目,有利于一个第一类像素电路322占用的布设面积小于一个第二类像素电路323占用的布设面积。
在一些实施例中,在显示区100a中,第一类像素电路322的数目大于第二类像素电路323的数目。如此,布设面积较大且数目较少的第二类像素电路323用于侦测驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压,以实现阈值电压的外部补偿,使显示面板100具有良好的亮度均一性,同时布设面积较小且数目较多的第一类像素电路322可以增加像素电路321的数目,使显示面板100具有高分辨率。
对于图5至图8所示的像素电路,在一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1相同;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2与第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2相同;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3与第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3相同。如此,第一类像素电路322中的至少一个晶体管和第二类像素电路323中对应的晶体管相同,采用相同的制程工艺制备第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323中的晶体管,简化显示面板100的制造工艺。
在一个具体的实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1相同,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2与第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2相同,且第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3与第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3相同。如此,进一步地简化显示面板100的制造工艺。并且,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1相同,采用侦测到的第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压或者补偿值,能更好地补偿第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压,更好地提高显示亮度均一性。
需要说明的是,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1相同是指,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1的类型和大小相同。例如,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1与第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1均可以为N型低温多晶硅晶体管,且两者的尺寸基本相同。其中,两者的尺寸基本相同考虑了制程原因导致的差异。第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2与第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2相同、第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3与第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3相同,可以依此类推,此处不再赘述。
在另一个具体的实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的两个晶体管与第二类像素电路323中对应的两个晶体管也可以相同,或者,第一类像素电路322中的一个晶体管与第二类像素电路323中对应的一个晶体管相同也可以相同。
对于图5至图8所示的像素电路,在一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1均包括低温多晶硅晶体管;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2和第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2均包括低温多晶硅晶体管;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3和第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3均包括低温多晶硅晶体管;和/或,感测晶体管T4包括低温多晶硅晶体管。如此,第一类像素电路322的至少一个晶体管和第二类像素电路323中的至少一个晶体管为布设面积较小的低温多晶硅晶体管,进一步地减小单个像素电路321占用的布设面积,有利于增加像素电路321的数目,显示面板100能实现高分辨率。
在一个具体的实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1均包括低温多晶硅晶体管,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2和第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2均包括低温多晶硅晶体管,第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3和第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3均包括低温多晶硅晶体管,感测晶体管T4包括低温多晶硅晶体管。如此,以进一步地减小单个像素电路321占用的布设面积,有利于增加像素电路321的数目,显示面板100能实现高分辨率。
在另一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1中的至少一者也可以包括金属氧化物晶体管。在另一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2和第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2中的至少一者也可以包括金属氧化物晶体管。在另一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3和第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3中的至少一者也可以包括金属氧化物晶体管。在另一些实施例中,感测晶体管T4也可以包括金属氧化物晶体管。
对于图5至图8所示的像素电路,在一些实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1为N型晶体管;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2和第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2为P型晶体管;和/或,第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3和第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3为P型晶体管;和/或,第二类像素电路323中的感测晶体管T4为P型晶体管。
在一个具体的实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的驱动晶体管T1和第二类像素电路323中的驱动晶体管T1均为N型晶体管。如此,以便于实现驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的侦测和补偿。
在一个具体的实施例中,第一类像素电路322中的开关晶体管T2和第二类像素电路323中的开关晶体管T2为P型晶体管。第一类像素电路322中的发光控制晶体管T3和第二类像素电路323中的发光控制晶体管T3为P型晶体管。第二类像素电路323中的感测晶体管T4为P型晶体管。如此,降低开关晶体管T2、发光控制晶体管T3以及感测晶体管T4的驱动功耗。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,多个像素电路321划分为阵列排布的多个像素电路组324,一个像素电路组324包括至少一个第二类像素电路323和多个第一类像素电路322。显示面板100的显示区100a划分为多个阵列排布的显示分区SA,一个显示分区SA设置有一个像素电路组324。如此,在采用第一类像素电路322和第二类像素电路323相互搭配的基础上,一个像素电路组324可以作为最小的阈值电压的补偿单元,以实现阈值电压的粗补偿,改善显示分区SA的亮度均一性。
一个像素电路组324作为最小的阈值电压补偿单元是指,基于一个像素电路组324中的至少一个第二类像素电路323侦测的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压对应的电信号,对一个像素电路组324中的多个第一类像素电路322和至少一个第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1均进行阈值电压补偿。
需要说明的是,像素电路组324是作为像素驱动电路的最小重复单元在显示区100a阵列排布。并且,在显示区100a,像素电路组324的数目越多,每个像素电路组324中的像素电路321的数目越少,每个像素电路组324能实现更精细化的阈值电压补偿,像素电路组324对应的显示分区SA的亮度均一性会更好。
在一些实施例中,在一个像素电路组324中,第二类像素电路323的数目小于第一类像素电路322的数目。如此,基于数目较少的第二类像素电路323可以侦测电信号,并基于电信号实现一个像素电路组324中多个像素电路的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的补偿。与此同时,还基于数目较多的第一类像素电路322提高显示面板100的分辨率。
在一些实施例中,多个像素电路组324在显示区100a可以呈二维阵列排布,例如沿数据线328的延伸方向(第二方向y)和扫描线325的延伸方向(第一方向x)延伸排布,以简化与像素电路321连接的走线的设计。在多个像素电路组324呈二维阵列排布的情况下,与多个像素电路组324对应的多个显示分区SA也可以呈二维阵列排布。
在另一些实施例中,多个像素电路321也可以呈一维阵列排布,例如沿数据线328的延伸方向或扫描线325的延伸方向延伸排布。在多个像素电路组324呈一维阵列排布的情况下,与多个像素电路组324对应的多个显示分区SA也可以呈一维阵列排布。
在一个像素电路组324中,第二类像素电路323的数目会影响显示面板100的分辨率和阈值电压补偿效果。具体而言,一个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323的数目越多,感测的阈值电压对应的电信号的数目可以更多,基于多个阈值电压对应的电信号可以实现更精准的补偿。然而,第二类像素电路323中的数目多,不利于减小一个像素电路组324占用的布设面积,进而不利于提高显示面板100的分辨率。并且,在一个像素电路组324中,第二类像素电路323的位置也会影响阈值电压的补偿效果。具体而言,不同位置的制程工艺存在差别,导致不同位置的第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压也存在差别。基于此,本申请的一些实施例对一个像素电路组324中第二类像素电路323的数目和位置进行了优化。
在一些实施例中,在一个像素电路组324中,一个第二类像素电路323设置于相邻两个第一类像素电路322之间。如此,制程差异对第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的影响,与制程差异对相邻两个第一类像素电路322的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的影响相同或趋于相同。采用第二类像素电路323感测的阈值电压对应的电信号对相邻两个第一类像素电路322的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压进行补偿时,能获得更好的阈值电压补偿效果,一个像素电路组324对应的显示分区SA的亮度均一性更好。
在一个具体的实施例中,如图3和图4所示,在一个像素电路组324中,多个第一类像素电路322围绕一个第二类像素电路323设置。如此,一个第二类像素电路323中驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压,与该第二类像素电路323周围的多个第一类像素电路322的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压趋于相同。基于一个第二类像素电路323侦测的阈值电压对应的电信号,就可以实现多个第一类像素电路322的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压的补偿,减小一个像素电路组324占用的面积,同时减小需要感测的阈值电压对应的电信号的数目,以简化与感测线327连接的外部处理电路51的结构,进而简化显示面板100的制造工艺。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,在一个像素电路组324中,可以只是设置一个第二类像素电路323。如此,一个像素电路组324中第二类像素电路323的数目最少,而第一类像素电路322的数目最多,减小一个像素电路组324占用的布设面积,进而可以设置更多像素电路组324以提高分辨率的同时,简化一个像素电路组324中像素电路321的阈值电压的补偿方法。
在另一些实施例中,在一个像素电路组324中,可以设置两个或两个以上的第二类像素电路323。基于两个或两个以上第二类像素电路323的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压对应的电信号,可以得到更精准的补偿值,更好地实现阈值电压的外部补偿,更好地改善一个像素电路组324所在的显示分区SA的亮度均一性。
在一些实施例中,至少两个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323的布设位置相同,以简化多个像素电路组324的制程,并简化感测线327的布设方式。
可选地,在数据线328的延伸方向上,至少两个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323的布设位置相同。如此,简化多个像素电路组324的制程,还便于数据线328的延伸方向上至少两个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323与一条感测线327连接,进而减少感测线327的数目,有更多的空间设置像素电路,进而提高显示面板100的分辨率。
可选地,在扫描线325的延伸方向上,至少两个像素电路组324中第二类像素电路323的布设位置相同,以简化多个像素电路组324的制程。
示例性地,如图3和图4所示,在数据线328的延伸方向以及扫描线325的延伸方向上,多个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323均位于每个像素电路组324的中间位置。
可以理解的是,像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323也可以位于每个像素电路组324除中间位置之外的其他位置,例如显示分区SA的边缘位置。
另外,每个像素电路组324中第二类像素电路323的数目为两个或两个以上时,多个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323的位置也可以相同。
在另一些实施例中,至少两个像素电路组324中第二类像素电路323的布设位置可以不同,使得显示区100a中多个第二类像素电路323的布设位置具有无序性,基于至少两个像素电路组324中不同位置的第二类像素电路323侦测的多个电信号,对至少两个像素电路组324中像素电路的驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压进行补偿,能使得显示区100a的亮度均一性更佳。
可选地,在数据线328的延伸方向上,和/或,在扫描线325的延伸方向上,至少两个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323错位设置。
示例性地,在扫描线325的延伸方向上,至少两个像素电路组324中的第二类像素电路323错位设置。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,在数据线328的延伸方向上,也即第二方向y上,分别位于相邻像素电路组324的至少两个第二类像素电路323的感测晶体管T4对齐设置且与一条感测线327连接。如此,在数据线328的延伸方向上,分别位于相邻像素电路组324中对齐设置的感测晶体管T4可以共用一条感测线327,感测线327的数目可以更少,感测线327占用的布设面积更小,更多的空间设置更多的像素电路321,进一步地提高显示面板100的分辨率。例如,在数据线328的延伸方向上,四个相邻像素电路组324的四个第二类像素电路323的感测晶体管T4对齐设置且与一条感测线327连接。在另一些实施例中,如图4所示,在数据线328的延伸方向上,分别位于相邻像素电路组324中的至少两个第二类像素电路323的感测晶体管T4对齐设置且分别与至少两条不同的感测线327连接。如此,在数据线328的延伸方向上,对于分别位于相邻像素电路组324中对齐设置的感测晶体管T4,可以采用不同的感测线327独立地采集驱动晶体管T1导通时的电信号。例如,在数据线328的延伸方向上,四个相邻像素电路组324的四个第二类像素电路323的感测晶体管T4(第二类像素电路323a、第二类像素电路323b、第二类像素电路323c以及第二类像素电路323d)分别与四条不同的感测线327(感测线327a、感测线327b、感测线327c以及感测线327d)连接。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,在扫描线325的延伸方向上,也即第一方向x上,分别位于相邻像素电路组324的至少两个第二类像素电路323的感测晶体管T4对齐设置。
在一些实施例中,如图3和图4所示,分别位于相邻像素电路组324中的两个第二类像素电路323之间设置有第一类像素电路322。示例性地,在数据线328的延伸方向以及扫描线325的延伸方向上,分别位于相邻像素电路组324中的两个第二类像素电路323之间设置有第一类像素电路322。
在另一些实施例中,分别位于相邻像素电路组324的两个第二类像素电路323可以相邻设置。示例性地,分别位于相邻像素电路组324的两个第二类像素电路323沿着相邻显示分区SA的边缘相邻设置。需要说明的是,图3和图4中的连接点CP示意感测线327与感测晶体管T4连接。
以下结合第二类像素电路323的驱动时序,对第二类像素电路323的工作过程中进行描述。
图9为图8所示第二类像素电路的驱动时序图。第二类像素电路323的工作过程包括阈值电压的外部侦测时段t1、数据电压写入时段t2以及发光时段t3。
在阈值电压的外部侦测时段t1,发光控制信号EM为低电平电压,扫描信号Pscan分别为低电平电压,数据信号Data为参考电压,第一电源电压VSS和第二电源电压VSS为不同的恒定电压。驱动晶体管T1、开关晶体管T2导通、发光控制晶体管T3以及感测晶体管T4导通,感测线327将驱动晶体管T1的第一极输出的感测电流输出至外部处理电路51,外部处理电路51基于该感测电流计算得到驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压。然后,驱动单元40基于驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压和亮度曲线得到阈值电压的补偿值。
在数据电压写入时段t2,发光控制信号EM为高电平电压,扫描信号Pscan为低电平电压,数据信号Data为补偿数据电压,补偿数据电压是根据补偿值以及原始数据电压得到。开关晶体管T2导通,发光控制晶体管T3关闭,驱动晶体管T1关闭,补偿数据电压写入至驱动晶体管T1的栅极。
在发光时段t3,发光控制信号EM为低电平电压,扫描信号Pscan为高电平电压,数据信号Data为低电平电压。开关晶体管T2和感测晶体管T4关闭,发光控制晶体管T3和驱动晶体管T1导通,发光器件331发光。
在一些实施例中,阈值电压的外部侦测时段t1可以在帧画面显示时段(包括数据电压写入时段t2和发光时段t3)之前。基于一次侦测到的阈值电压,可以在多个帧画面的数据电压写入时段t2补偿阈值电压对应的补偿值。
需要说明的是,第一类像素电路322的工作过程与第二类像素电路323的工作过程中基本相似,相同之处包括,第一类像素电路322的工作过程也包括数据电压写入时段t2以及发光时段t3。第一类像素电路322的数据电压写入时段t2以及发光时段t3,可以参见第二类像素电路323中对应的时段的描述,此处不再赘述。不同之处包括,第一类像素电路322的工作过程不包括上述阈值电压的外部侦测时段t1。基于相同的发明构思,本申请还提供一种显示装置,显示装置包括上述显示面板100。显示装置可以应用于虚拟现实产品、电视、手表、手机、平板电脑等电子设备。
综上所述,在本申请的一些实施例的显示面板和显示装置中,多个像素电路包括第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路。第二类像素电路包括能实现晶体管的阈值电压侦测的感测晶体管,而第一类像素电路不包括该感测晶体管。利用侦测的阈值电压,可以对第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路进行阈值电压补偿,进而提高显示面板的亮度均一性。同时,第一类像素电路不包括该感测晶体管,使得第一类像素电路中的晶体管的数目较小,第一类像素电路占用的布设面积较小,增加像素电路的数目,使得显示面板和显示装置实现高分辨率显示。换言之,第一类像素电路和第二类像素电路的混合式搭配设计,可以兼顾显示面板和显示装置的高分辨率和亮度均一性。
以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请的技术方案及其核心思想;本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例的技术方案的范围。
