背景技术
随着显示技术的进步,越来越多的有源矩阵有机发光二极管(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode,AMOLED)显示面板进入市场,与传统的晶体管液晶显示面板(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display,TFT LCD)相比,有源矩阵有机发光二极管显示面板具有低能耗、生产成本低、自发光、宽视角及响应速度快等优点,目前,在手机、PDA、数码相机等显示领域已经开始逐步取代传统的LCD显示屏。与TFT LCD利用稳定的电压控制亮度不同,AMOLED属于电流驱动,需要稳定的电流来控制发光。
OLED的发光亮度对其驱动电流的变化相当敏感,且用于驱动发光器件发光的驱动晶体管在制作过程中很难做到完全一致,即,很难实现各个OLED像素电路中的驱动晶体管具有一致的阈值电压。此外,工艺制程和器件老化,以及工作过程中温度的变化等因素会加剧各像素电路中的驱动晶体管的阈值电压之间的不均匀性。这样就导致了流过各个像素中的OLED的电流存在较大差异,使得显示亮度不均,从而影响整个图像的显示效果。

图2a示出了像素电路中各个模块的主要元件,本领域技术人员能够理解到的是,像素电路的各个模块还可包括图2a中未示出的元件。然而,在一个实施例中,上述实施例所述的像素电路中的各个模块也可以仅由以上描述的元件组成。因此,在该实施例中,如图2b所示,像素电路包括:驱动晶体管T1、开关晶体管T2~T6、电容C和发光器件OLED。
驱动晶体管T1的栅极分别与电容C的一端和第五开关晶体管T5的第二极相连,驱动仅晶体管T1的第一极和第二极分别与第二节点P2和第三节点P3相连。第二开关晶体管T2的栅极用于接收第二控制信号S2,第一极用于接收电源信号Vdd,第二极与第二节点P2相连;第三开关晶体管T3的栅极用于接收第二控制信号S2,第一极与第三节点P3相连,第二极与第一节点P1相连;第四开关晶体管T4的栅极用于接收第一控制信号S1,第一极用于接收数据信号Vdata,第二极与第三节点P3相连;第五开关晶体管T5的栅极用于接收第一控制信号S1,第一极与第二节P2相连;电容C的另一端与第一节点P1相连;第六 开关晶体管T6的栅极用于接收复位信号Reset,第一极用于接收参考电位信号Vss,第二极与第一节点P1相连;发光器件OLED的阳极与第一节点P1相连,阴极连接至参考电位信号端。在图2b所示的示例中,驱动晶体管T1是N型金属氧化物半导体场效应管,开关晶体管T2-T6是P型金属氧化物半导体场效应管。在该示例中,驱动晶体管T1的源极连接至第三节点P3,其漏极连接至第二节点P2。
对于图2b所示实施例提供的像素电路,驱动发光器件OLED发光的驱动电流可以表示为:
Figure PCTCN2018081838-appb-000001
其中,Vo为发光器件OLED阳极的电压,K是与驱动晶体管T1的工艺参数和几何尺寸有关的常数,Vgs为驱动晶体管的栅极和第一极之间的电压差。由上述电流计算公式可以看出,驱动发光器件OLED发光的驱动电流与阈值电压Vth无关,从而可以消除阈值电压的变化对发光器件的发光亮度的影响。此外,随着发光器件的老化,发光器件的阳极电压Vo可逐渐升高,此时其驱动电流I随之升高,从而可以改善发光器件OLED老化造成的亮度下降的问题。
本公开上述实施例中提到的驱动晶体管和开关晶体管可以是薄膜晶体管(TFT,Thin Film Transistor),也可以是金属氧化物半导体场效应管(MOS,Metal Oxide Semiconductor),在此不做限定。在具体实施中,这些晶体管的第一极和第二极可以互换,不做具体区分。下面,结合示例性的工作时序对本公开实施例提供的像素电路的工作过程进行详细描述。图3示出了针对如图2b所示的像素电路信号时序图,在该信号时序图中,示出了t1~t3三个时间段。在下述描述中,以1表示高电平信号,0表示低电平信号。
在t1阶段,Reset=0,S1=1,S2=1。由于Reset=0,因此,第六开关晶体管T6导通,导通的第六开关晶体管T6将低电平的参考电位信号Vss输出到第一节点P1,从而实现对第一节点P1的复位,即,对发光器件OLED的阳极以及电容C的一端进行复位。
在t2阶段,Reset=1,S1=0,S2=1。由于S1=0,因此,第四开关晶体管T4和第五开关晶体管T5导通;导通的第四开关晶体管T4将数据信号Vdata输出到第三节点P3;导通的第五开关晶体管T5将第二节点P2与驱动晶体管T1的栅极连通。此时,驱动晶体管T1的源极和漏 极之间的电压近似为驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压Vth。数据信号Vdata通过驱动晶体管T1和第五开关晶体管T5对电容C的一端进行充电,直到电容C一端的电压为Vdata+Vth,从而实现将阈值电压Vth写入到电容C,完成了对驱动晶体管的栅极电压的补偿。
在t3阶段,Reset=1,S1=1,S2=0。由于S2=0,因此,第二开关晶体管T2和第三开关晶体管T3导通;导通的第二开关晶体管T2将电源信号Vdd输出到第二节点P2;驱动晶体管T1在电容C与驱动晶体管T1的栅极相连的一端所保持的电压信号的控制下导通,导通的驱动晶体管T1将第二节点P2与第三节点P3导通;导通的第三开关晶体管T3将第三节点P3与第一节点P1导通,从而驱动发光器件OLED发光。此时,驱动晶体管T1的栅极和源极之间的电压可表示为:Vgs=(Vdata+Vth)-(Vdd-Vo+Vss),因此,驱动发光器件OLED发光的驱动电流为:
Figure PCTCN2018081838-appb-000002
由上述电流计算公式可以看出,对于本公开实施例提供的像素电路,驱动发光器件OLED发光的驱动电流与阈值电压Vth无关,从而可以消除阈值电压的变化对发光器件的发光亮度的影响;同时,随着发光器件的老化造成发光器件的阳极电压Vo升高时,其驱动电流I随之升高,从而可以改善发光器件OLED老化造成的亮度下降的问题。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例提供了一种用于本公开前述实施例提供的像素电路的驱动方法,如图4所示,该驱动方法可以包括:
S101、在复位阶段,复位模块在复位信号的控制下,将所述第一节点连接至所述参考电位端;
S102、在补偿阶段,数据信号写入模块在第一控制信号的控制下,将数据信号写入到第三节点;补偿模块在第一控制信号的控制下,为驱动模块中的驱动晶体管的栅极存储补偿电压;
S103、在发光阶段,电源输入模块在第二控制信号的控制下,将电源信号输出到第二节点;驱动模块在补偿电压的控制下,将第二节点与第三节点连通;控制模块在第二控制信号的控制下,将第三节点与第一节点连通。
基于同一发明构思,本公开实施例提供了一种显示面板,包括本公开实施例提供了的上述像素电路。该显示面板可以应用于手机、平 板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。由于该显示面板解决问题的原理与像素电路相似,因此该显示面板的实施可以参见上述像素电路的实施,重复之处不再赘述。
本公开实施例提供了一种像素电路、其驱动方法及显示面板,该像素电路包括:复位模块、补偿模块、驱动模块、控制模块、数据信号写入模块、电源输入模块和发光器件,其中所述电源输入模块、所述驱动模块、所述控制模块以及所述发光器件依次串联连接。复位模块并联至发光器件的两端,发光器件的一端连接至参考电位信号段,复位模块用于在复位信号的控制下,将参考电位信号输出到发光器件的另一端。数据信号写入模块可以在第一控制信号的控制下,将数据信号写入驱动模块和控制模块之间的第三节点。补偿模块与发光器件和控制模块之间的第一节点、电源输入模块和驱动模块之间的第二节点以及驱动模块连接,并且补偿模块接收第一控制信号。补偿模块可以在第一控制信号的控制下,为驱动模块中的驱动晶体管的栅极存储补偿电压,该补偿电压大致为数据信号电压和驱动晶体管的阈值电压的和。驱动模块可以在补偿模块所提供的补偿电压的控制下将电源输入模块与控制模块连通,同时控制模块可以在第二控制信号的控制下将驱动模块与发光器件连通,从而驱动发光器件发光。
利用本公开实施例提供的上述的像素电路,可以使得用于驱动发光器件发光的驱动电流免受驱动晶体管的阈值电压的影响,从而可以改善阈值电压漂移对发光器件的亮度的影响,提高发光器件的发光亮度均一性,进而提高显示面板的显示质量。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本公开进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本发明的精神和范围。这样,倘若这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
