BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display panel, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting display panel having an improved aperture ratio by improving an arrangement structure of unit pixels.

The organic light emitting device emits light by electrically exciting the light emitting layer by a combination of electrons supplied from a cathode and holes supplied from an anode. The light emitting layer constitutes an organic light emitting layer, and the organic light emitting layer generally has a multilayer structure including an electron transport layer (ETL) and a hole transport layer (HTL) in addition to the light emitting layer.

In addition, the organic EL device can be classified into a passive matrix type and an active matrix type. The active matrix type is a signal type that maintains a voltage by writing a voltage to a capacitor. Therefore, it is divided into a voltage programming method and a current programming method.

1 is an equivalent circuit diagram of an active matrix type organic light emitting device, and a pixel circuit of a conventional organic light emitting device includes a switching thin film transistor ST, a driving thin film transistor DT, and a storage capacitor C _ST . do. In this case, the unit pixels have a matrix array structure defined by the intersecting arrangement of the scan lines S1 to Sn, the data lines D1 to Dn, and the power lines V1 to Vn.

In each unit pixel, the switching thin film transistor ST has a source electrode and a gate electrode connected to the scan lines S1 to Sn and the data lines D1 to Dn, respectively, and the drain electrode has a gate electrode of the driving thin film transistor DT. Is connected. The storage capacitor C _ST is connected in parallel between the drain electrode of the switching thin film transistor ST and the power lines V1 to Vn. The source electrode of the driving thin film transistor DT is connected to the power lines V1 to Vn, and the drain electrode is connected to the organic light emitting layer EL to form an anode of the organic light emitting layer EL. The cathode of the organic light emitting layer EL is supplied with the same common voltage for each pixel.

When the thin film transistor ST is turned on by a selection signal applied to the gate of the switching thin film transistor ST, the data voltage from the data lines D1 to Dn is applied to the switching thin film transistor ST. Is applied to the gate. Then, the current I _OLED flows in the thin film transistor DT in response to the voltage V _GS charged between the gate and the source by the storage capacitor C _ST , and according to the current I _OLED , the organic light emitting layer ( EL) emits light.

However, in such a driving voltage writing method, there is a problem in that the luminance of the panel is not uniform due to the characteristic variation of each pixel of the driving thin film transistor, for example, the variation of the threshold voltage, the mobility of the channel, and the like.

Accordingly, a number of compensation circuits have been proposed for correcting the characteristic variation of the driving thin film transistor. However, the number of the thin film transistors has been increased, resulting in a problem of lowering the aperture ratio of the unit pixel.

On the other hand, in the organic light emitting device of the current writing method, even if the driving source for supplying current to the pixel circuit is uniform for the entire panel, i.e., all the data lines, the driving thin film transistors in each pixel have uneven voltage-current characteristics. Uniform display characteristics can be obtained.

FIG. 2 is a pixel circuit of a conventional current write method for driving an organic light emitting device, and typically shows one of N × M pixels. The driving thin film transistor DT is connected to the organic light emitting layer EL to supply current for emitting light, and the amount of current of the thin film transistor DT is controlled by the data current I _DATA applied through the switching thin film transistor ST1. It is configured to be controlled.

When the switching thin film transistors ST1 and ST2 are turned on by the selection signal from the scan line Sn, the thin film transistor DT is in a diode-connected state, and current flows in the storage capacitor C _ST to charge the voltage. In addition, the gate potential of the thin film transistor DT is dropped so that a current flows from the source to the drain, and a voltage corresponding to the luminance setting data current I _DATA is stored in the storage capacitor C _ST . Next, the switching thin film transistors ST1 and ST2 are turned off and the thin film transistor ET connected to the emission control line En is turned on. Then, power is supplied from the power supply line Vm, and a current corresponding to the voltage stored in the storage capacitor C _ST flows to the organic light emitting layer EL to emit light at the set luminance.

However, since the current I _OLED flowing through the organic light emitting layer EL is a fine current and the voltage range of the data line Dm is wide, when driving the pixel circuit with the fine current I _DATA , the parasitic capacitance of the data wiring, etc. There is a problem that it takes a long time to charge.

In addition, the number of thin film transistors disposed in a unit pixel increases, causing a problem that the aperture ratio is considerably reduced. This reduction in aperture ratio causes a problem of lowering luminance and requiring high current driving and thus reducing lifetime.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an organic light emitting display panel of the present invention, in which an aperture ratio is increased by improving an arrangement structure of unit pixels.

Next, a detailed operation of the organic light emitting device will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

4 is a diagram schematically illustrating a display panel according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention applied to the organic light emitting device illustrated in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is an equivalent circuit diagram corresponding to an nth pixel of FIG. 4.

Referring to this, the pixel circuit of the display panel 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment includes the driving transistor M3, the light emitting transistor M4, the switching transistor M1, the diode transistor M2, the organic light emitting layer EL, It consists of two capacitors C1 and C2.

More specifically, the switching transistor M1 is connected between the data line D _m and the gate of the driving transistor M3, and is input from the data line D _m in response to a selection signal from the scanning line S _n . The data current I _DATA is transferred to the driving transistor M3. Diode transistor (M2) is connected between the drain and the data line (D _m) of the drive transistor (M3), in response to a select signal from the scan line (S _n) then diode connecting the driving transistor (M3).

The driving transistor M3 has a source connected to the power supply voltage Vm and a drain connected to the diode transistor M2. The gate-source voltage of this driving transistor M3 is determined corresponding to the data current I _DATA .

The second capacitor C2 is connected between the gate and the source of the driving transistor M3 to maintain the gate-source voltage of the driving transistor M3 for a predetermined period, and the first capacitor C1 is the boost control line B. _n is connected between the gate of the driving transistor M3 and the gate voltage of the driving transistor M3.

By connecting the capacitors in this way, the voltage of the node of the second capacitor C2 is increased by the voltage rising width ΔV _B of the boost signal input from the boost control line B _n , so that the gate voltage V of the driving transistor M3 is increased. increase in _G) (ΔV _G) are set as shown in equation (1). Therefore, the transistor (M1, M2, M3) corresponding to a parasitic capacitance component desired to rise (ΔV _G) of the gate voltage (V _G) for directing an voltage rise (ΔV _B) of the boost signal, the driving transistor (M3) of Can be set to a value. That is, the current I _OLED supplied to the organic emission layer EL can be set to a desired value.

Next, the light emitting transistor M4 supplies a current flowing through the driving transistor M3 to the organic light emitting layer EL in response to a light emission signal from the light emission control line E _n . The organic emission layer EL is connected between the light emitting transistor M4 and the reference voltage and emits light corresponding to the amount of current flowing through the driving transistor M3.

The operation of the pixel circuit thus constructed will be described in detail below.

First, the switching transistor (M1) and a diode transistor (M2) by the selection signal supplied through the scan line (S _n) is turned on. As a result, the driving transistor M3 is diode-connected, and the data current I _DATA from the data line D _m flows to the driving transistor M3. At the same time, since the light emitting transistor M4 is turned off by the light emission signal applied through the light emission scan line E _n , the driving transistor M3 and the organic light emitting layer EL are electrically blocked.

At this time, between the absolute value of the voltage between the gate and the source of the driving transistor M3 (hereinafter referred to as "gate-source voltage") (V _GS ) and the current (I _DATA ) flowing through the transistor (M3) Since the relationship between is established, the gate-source voltage V _GS of the driving transistor M3 is given by Equation 3 below.

Here, β is a constant value and V _TH is an absolute value of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M3.

Here, V _G is a gate voltage of the driving transistor M3, and V _DD is a voltage supplied to the driving transistor M3 by the power supply voltage VDD.

Next, the scanning line is turned, the switching transistor (M1) and a diode transistor (M2) off in accordance with the flash signal of the selection signal and the emission control line (E _n) of the (S _n), the light-emitting transistor (M4) is turned on.

At this time, the increases by 'ΔV _S' by the voltage of the second capacitor (C2) and the contact scan line (S _n) to the selection signal. Therefore, the gate voltage V _G of the driving transistor M3 is increased by the coupling of the capacitors C1 and C2, and the rising width ΔV _G is expressed by Equation 4 below.

Here, C ₁ and C ₂ are the capacitances of the capacitors C1 and C2, respectively.

Since the gate voltage V _G of the driving transistor M3 has increased by ΔV _G , the current I _OLED flowing through the transistor M3 is determined as shown in Equation 5 below. That is, since the gate-source voltage V _GS of the transistor M3 decreases as the gate voltage V _G of the driving transistor M3 increases, the size of the drain current I _OLED of the transistor M3 is increased. It can be made smaller than the data current I _DATA . Since the light emitting transistor M4 is turned on by the light emission signal of the light emission control line E _n , the current I _OLED of the driving transistor M3 is supplied to the organic light emitting layer to emit light.

Further, from equation (5) the data current (I _DATA) may be set to a value greater than the current (I _OLED) flowing so is derived as equation (6), the data current (I _DATA) to the organic light emitting layer (EL).
