技术领域
本公开涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种像素驱动电路、方法、显示面板和显示装置。
背景技术
AMOLED(Active Matrix/Organic Light Emitting Diode,有源矩阵有机发光二极管)显示器是当今平板显示器研究领域的热点之一。有机发光二极管(OLED)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。像素驱动电路设计是AMOLED显示器核心技术内容,具有重要的研究意义。
在AMOLED显示器中,需要稳定的电流来控制OLED发光。由于工艺制程和器件老化等原因,AMOLED显示器中的各像素点的驱动晶体管的阈值电压(Vth)会漂移;这样就导致了流过每个像素点OLED的电流因阈值电压的变化而变化,使得显示亮度不均,从而影响整个图像的显示效果。
如图1所示,每个现有的基本的AMLOED像素驱动电路只包括1个驱动晶体管DTFT,一个开关晶体管T1和一个存储电容Cs,当扫描线选择某一行时,扫描线上的扫描电压Vscan为低电平,T1导通,数据电压Vdata写入存储电容Cs。当该行扫描结束后,Vscan变为高电平,T1关断,存储在Cs上的栅极电压驱动DTFT,使DTFT产生电流来驱动OLED,保证OLED在一帧内持续发光。流过OLED的电流IOLED=K(VGS-Vth)2,其中,K为常数,VGS为DTFT的栅源电压,Vth为DTFT的阈值电压。正如前面所述,由于工艺制程和器件老化等原因,各像素点的驱动晶体管DTFT的阈值电压Vth会漂移;这样就导致了流过每个像素点OLED的电流因Vth的变化而变化,从而影响整个图像的显示效果。
现有技术中的具有阈值补偿功能的像素驱动电路可以为6T1C像素驱动电路,采用了过多的薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)和线路,虽然 满足了补偿阈值的要求,但是像素的开口率相应会比较低;并且现有的像素驱动电路是被设置于每一个像素单元内,从而使得OLED器件分布空间过为紧凑。

在如图3A所示的像素驱动电路的实施例中,D1、D2、T1、T2、T3、T4、T5、T6、T7和T8均为n型TFT,可以统一工艺流程,有助于提高产品良率。
并且,如图4所示,由于Scan2的波形图和EM2的波形图是对称翻转的,因此也可以通过改变接入Scan2和EM2的晶体管的类型的方式来减少控制信号线的数目。例如,如图3B所示,本公开第四实施例所述的像素驱动电路可以将图3A中原接入EM2的T7的晶体管类型更换为p型,并将接入T7的栅极的控制信号改为第二扫描信号Scan2;同样可以达到发明目的,同时可减少控制信号的数目。或者,如图3C所示,本公开第五实施例所述的像素驱动电路可以将图3A中接入T4的栅极和T8的栅极的控制信号由Scan2改为EM2,同时将T4的晶体管类型和T8的晶体管类型改为p型,同样可以达到发明目的,同时可减少控制信号的数目。
如图3A所示的像素驱动电路的实施例在工作时,具体工作过程如下:
在第一阶段,即充电阶段,如图4所示,Scan1和Scan2都为高电平,EM1和EM2都为低电平,数据线上的数据电压Vdata为V0;
如图5A所示,Vdd通过T4和T1向C1充电,使得a1点的电位为Vdd,T3断开;
Vdd通过T8和T5向C2充电,使得a2点的电位为Vdd,T7断开。
在第二阶段,即放电阶段,如图4所示,Scan1、EM1和EM2都为高电平,Scan2为低电平,Vdata为V0;
如图5B所示,T1、T2和T3都导通,T4断开,C1通过T1、D1和T2向地端放电,直至a1点的电位为D1的阈值电压Vth1,b1点接入Vdata,则此时b1点的电位为V0;
T5、T6和T7都导通,T8断开,C2通过T5、D2和T6向地端放电,直至a2点的电位为D2的阈值电压Vth2,b2点接入Vdata,则此时b2点的电位为V0。
在第三阶段,即第一补偿阶段,Scan1和Scan2同时为低电平,EM1和EM2都为高电平,Vdata跳变为V0+ΔV1;
如图5C所示,b1点的电位从第二阶段时的V0跳变为第三阶段的V0+ ΔV1,由于此时C1的第一端浮接,所以a1点的电位Va1和b1点的电位Vb1实现电位等量跳变(保持原来的压差,原来的压差为Vth1-V0),因此此时a1点的电位Va1=ΔV1+Vth1,并维持住;
b2点的电位从第二阶段时的V0跳变为第三阶段的V0+ΔV1,由于此时C2的第一端浮接,所以a2点的电位Va2和b2点的电位Vb2实现电位等量跳变(保持原来的压差,原来的压差为Vth2-V0),因此此时a2点的电位Va2=ΔV1+Vth2,并稳定住。
在第四阶段,即补偿阶段,如图4所示,Scan1、Scan2和EM1均为低电平,EM2为高电平,Vdata跳变为V0+ΔV2;
如图5D所示,b2点的电位从第三阶段时的V0+ΔV1变为第四阶段时的V0+ΔV2,由于C2的第一端浮接,a2点的电位Va2和b2点的电位Vb2实现电压等量跳变(保持原来的压差,原来的压差为Vth2-V0),所以a2点的电位Va2=ΔV2+Vth2,并稳定住。
在第五阶段,即发光阶段,如图4所示,Scan1、EM1和EM2都为低电平,Scan2为高电平;
如图5E所示,经过两次电压补偿、跳变过程后,进入OLED发光阶段,T4导通,D1的第一极通过T4接入高电平Vdd,T2断开,D1驱动第一有机发光二极管O1发光,流过O1的电流IOLED1=K(Vgs1-Vth1)2=K[ΔV1+Vth1-Voled1-Vth1]2=K(ΔV1-Voled1)2;其中,Vgs1为D1的栅源电压,Voled1为O1的阳极电势,K为固定参数;
同理,流过O2的电流为K(ΔV2-Voled2)2,Voled2为O2的阳极电势。
本公开实施例所述的像素驱动电路通过依次对包括第一有机发光二极管的第一像素单元以及包括第二有机发光二极管的第二像素进行跳变阈值补偿,通过对Vdata施加跳变信号的方式,即在不同时区通过信号叠加跳变的方式,实现像素补偿,解决了双像素点驱动TFT由于工艺制程及长时间的操作造成阈值电压不均一的问题,使得流过两个像素单元包括OLED的电流不受驱动晶体管的阈值电压的影响,最终保证了图像显示的均匀性。而且在充电阶段、放电阶段、第一补偿阶段和第二补偿阶段阶段,可以保证无电流通过OLED,间接提高了OLED的使用寿命。
本公开一实施例还提供一种像素驱动方法,用于驱动本公开第一实施例、第二实施例、第三实施例、第四实施例或第五实施例所述的像素驱动电路,包括:

在该时间周期的第一补偿阶段,第一驱动控制单元控制第一存储电容的第二端接入所述数据电压,控制该第一存储电容的第一端浮接,从而控制第一驱动晶体管的栅源电压补偿该第一驱动晶体管的阈值电压;其中,在该第一补偿阶段该数据电压跳变为V0+ΔV1;

在如图7所示的像素驱动电路的实施例中,所有TFT均为p型TFT,可以统一工艺流程,有助于提高产品良率。
从图7中可以看出,原本的两个具有阈值补偿功能的像素驱动单元被合 并为一个像素驱动电路,并且只由一根数据线Data控制,其中,T1、T2、T3、T4、T5、T6、T7和T8都为开关TFT,D1和D2为像素的驱动TFT,Scan1、Scan2、Scan3和Scan4都为扫描信号,用于控制开关TFT导通或断开。
如图7所示的像素驱动电路的工作过程如下:
如图8所示,在第一阶段,即重置充电阶段,Scan1、Scan3和Scan4均为低电平,Scan2为高电平;
如图9A所示,除T4和T8外所有的TFT均导通,Vdd通过T3、D1和T1开始对a1点进行充电,一直将a1点的电位充电至Vdd-Vth1为止(满足D1的栅源之间的压差为Vth1,Vth1为D1的阈值电压),在该过程中,由于b1点接通数据电压Vdata,此时b1点的电位为ΔV1,所以当充电完毕后,C1两端的电位差会一致维持在Vdd-Vth1-ΔV1,另外由于T4达到关闭使得电流不会流过O1,间接降低了O1的寿命损耗;
同理,另一个像素单元的C2两端的电位差会一直维持在Vdd-Vth2-ΔV1,Vth2为D2的阈值电压;
如图8所示,在第二阶段,即第一补偿阶段,Scan1和Scan2都为高电平,Scan3和Scan4都为低电平;
如图9B所示,由于Vdata由第一阶段时的ΔV1跳变为第二阶段时的ΔV2(V2大于V1),由于a1点浮接,因此a1点的电位Va1和b1点的电位Vb1实现电位等量跳变(保持原来的电位差,原来的电位差为Vdd-Vth1-V1),所以此时a1点的电位Va1=Vdd-Vth1+ΔV2-ΔV1,并稳定住;
同理,a2点的电位Va2=Vdd-Vth2+ΔV2-ΔV1;
如图8所示,在第三阶段,即第二补偿阶段,Scan1、Scan2和Scan3都为高电平,Scan4为低电平;
如图9C所示,Vdata跳变为V3,V3大于V2,C2的第二端b2的电位Vb2由ΔV2变为ΔV3,由于a2点浮接,Va2和Vb2实现电位等量跳变(保持原来的电位差,原来的电位差为Vdd-Vth2-ΔV1),所以a2点的电位Va2=Vdd-Vth2+ΔV3-ΔV1,并稳定住;
如图8所示,在第四阶段,即发光阶段,Scan1和Scan2都为低电平,Scan3 和Scan4都为高电平;
如图9D所示,经过两次电压补偿、跳变过程后,OLED进入正式发光阶段,导通情况如图9D所示,工作电压接Vdd,两像素通过各自路径进行发光;
由TFT饱和电流公式可以得到:
流过O1的电流IO1=K(VGS1-Vth1)2=K[Vdd-(Vdd-Vth1+ΔV2-ΔV1)-Vth1]2=K(ΔV2-ΔV1)2;其中,K为固定参数,VGS1为D1的栅源电压;
同理,流过O2的电流IO2的电流为K(ΔV3-ΔV1)2
本公开实施例所述的像素驱动电路通过依次对包括第一有机发光二极管的第一像素单元以及包括第二有机发光二极管的第二像素进行跳变补偿,通过对Vdata施加跳变信号,即在不同时区通过信号叠加跳变的方式,实现像素补偿,解决了双像素点驱动TFT由于工艺制程及长时间的操作造成阈值电压不均一的问题,使得流过两个像素单元包括OLED的电流不受驱动晶体管的阈值电压的影响,最终保证了图像显示的均匀性,且补偿、跳变阶段保证无电流通过OLED,间接提高了OLED的使用寿命。
