Description

一种 AMOLED 像素驱动电路及像素驱动方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,特别是涉及一种 AMOLED 像素驱动电路及像素驱动方法。
背景技术
有机发光二极管( Organic Light Emitting Display , OLED )显示装置具有自发光、驱动电压低、发光效率高、响应时间短、清晰度与对比度高、近 180 °视角、使用温度范围宽,可实现柔性显示与大面积全色显示等诸多优点,成为最有发展潜力的显示装置。
传统的 AMOLED 像素驱动电路通常为 2T1C ,即两个薄膜晶体管加一个电容的结构,将电压变换为电流。
如图 1 所示,现有的 2T1C 结构的 AMOLED 像素驱动电路,包括第一薄膜晶体管 T10 、第二薄膜晶体管 T20 、电容 C10 及有机发光二极管 D10 ,所述第一薄膜晶体管 T10 为驱动薄膜晶体管,所述第二薄膜晶体管 T20 为开关薄膜晶体管,所述电容 C10 为存储电容。具体地,所述第二薄膜晶体管 T20 的栅极接入扫描信号 Gate ,源极接入数据信号 Data ,漏极电性连接第一薄膜晶体管 T10 的栅极;所述第一薄膜晶体管 T10 的源极接入电源正电压 OVDD ,漏极电性连接有机发光二极管 D10 的阳极;有机发光二极管 D10 的阴极接入电源负电压 OVSS 。电容 C10 的一端电性连接第一薄膜晶体管 T10 的栅极,另一端电性连接第一薄膜晶体管 T10 的源极。该 2T1C 像素驱动电路在对 AMOLED 进行驱动时,流过有机发光二极管 D10 的电流满足:
I=k ×( Vgs-Vth ) 2
其中, I 为流过有机发光二极管 D10 的电流, k 为驱动薄膜晶体管的本征导电因子, Vgs 为第一薄膜晶体管 T10 栅极和源极间的电压差, Vth 为第一薄膜晶体管 T10 的阈值电压,可见流过有机发光二极管 D10 的电流与驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压相关。
由于面板制程的不稳定性等因素,使得面板内每个像素驱动电路内的驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压产生差别。即使将相等的数据电压施加到各个像素驱动电路内的驱动薄膜晶体管,也会使得流入有机发光二极管的电流不一致,从而影响显示图像质量的均一性。且随着驱动薄膜晶体管的驱动时间的变长,薄膜晶体管的材料会出现老化、变异,导致驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压产生漂移,且薄膜晶体管材料的老化程度不同,各驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压漂移量也不同,从而出现面板显示不均的现象,同时会使驱动薄膜晶体管的开启电压上升,流入有机发光二极管的电流降低,导致面板亮度降低、发光效率下降等问题。
因此,有必要提供一种 AMOLED 像素驱动电路及像素驱动方法,以解决现有技术所存在的问题。

本发明的最佳实施方式
以下各实施例的说明是参考附加的图式,用以例示本发明可用以实施的特定实施例。本发明所提到的方向用语,例如「上」、「下」、「前」、「后」、「左」、「右」、「内」、「外」、「侧面」等,仅是参考附加图式的方向。因此,使用的方向用语是用以说明及理解本发明,而非用以限制本发明。在图中,结构相似的单元是以相同标号表示。
针对驱动薄膜晶体管阈值电压漂移的问题,现有技术中一般会对 AMOLED 像素驱动电路进行改进,增加薄膜晶体管及相应的控制信号,以对驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压进行补偿,使有机发光二极管在发光时,流过其的电流与驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压无关。请参阅图 2 ,现有的一种 AMOLED 像素驱动电路采用 5T2C 的结构,也即五个薄膜晶体管加两个电容的结构,其包括第一薄膜晶体管 T21 、第二薄膜晶体管 T22 、第三薄膜晶体管 T23 、第四薄膜晶体管 T24 、第五薄膜晶体管 T25 、第一电容 C20 、第二电容 C21 及有机发光二极管 D20 ,具体各元件的连接方式为:第一薄膜晶体管 T21 的栅极接入扫描信号 S11 ,源极接入数据信号,漏极电性连接第一节点 Q 。第二薄膜晶体管 T22 的栅极接入扫描信号 S12 ,源极电性连接第一节点 Q ,漏极电性连接有机发光二极管 D20 的阳极。
第一电容 C20 的一端连接第一节点 Q ,另一端接入电源正电压 OVDD ,第二电容 C21 的一端连接第一节点 Q ,另一端电性连接第五薄膜晶体管 T25 的栅极以及第四薄膜晶体管 T24 的源极,第四薄膜晶体管 T24 的漏极电性连接第二节点 P ,第四薄膜晶体管 T24 的栅极接入第二扫描信号 S12 ,第五薄膜晶体管 T25 的源极接入电源正电压 OVDD ,第五薄膜晶体管 T25 的漏极电性连接第二节点 P ;第三薄膜晶体管 T23 的栅极接入发光信号 EM ,源极电性连接第二节点 P ,漏极电性连接有机发光二极管 D20 的阳极,有机发光二极管 D20 的阴极连接电源负电压 OVSS 。
上述 5T2C 架构虽然可以消除驱动 TFT 的 Vth ,但在 Data 写入 Writing 和 Emission 阶段 A 点的电位保持 Vdata+OVDD-Vth-Vref 不变; Vref 为参考电压,由于面板 OLED 的不均匀性导致各像素的有机发光二极管的亮度不一致,若 Vref 过大会使 OLED 在 reset 阶段发光;若 Vref 过小,会使上述 Data Writing 和 Emission 阶段 A 点的电位过大,导致驱动 TFT 处于截止状态,所以 Vref 的大小不恒定。
如图 3 所示,现有的另一种 AMOLED 像素驱动电路采用 8T1C 的结构,也即八个薄膜晶体管加一个电容的结构,包括第一薄膜晶体管 T31 、第二薄膜晶体管 T32 、第三薄膜晶体管 T33 、第四薄膜晶体管 T34 、第五薄膜晶体管 T35 、第六薄膜晶体管 T36 、第七薄膜晶体管 T37 、第八薄膜晶体管 T38 、电容 C30 及有机发光二极管 D30 ,具体各元件的连接方式为:第一薄膜晶体管 T31 的栅极接入扫描信号 S2 ,源极接入参考电压 Vref ,漏极电性连接电容 C30 的一端以及第七薄膜晶体管 T37 的源极,电容 C30 的另一端与第三薄膜晶体管 T33 的源极以及第五薄膜晶体管 T35 的栅极连接,第三薄膜晶体管 T33 的漏极连接第四薄膜晶体管 T34 的源极以及第二薄膜晶体管 T32 的漏极,第二薄膜晶体管 T32 的栅极接入扫描信号 S1 ,第二薄膜晶体管 T32 的源极接入电压 Vini 。第三薄膜晶体管 T33 和第四薄膜晶体管 T34 的栅极接入扫描信号 S2 。
第四薄膜晶体管 T34 的漏极连接第五薄膜晶体管 T35 的漏极和有机发光二极管 D30 的阳极,有机发光二极管 D30 的阴极接入电源负电压 VSS ,第五薄膜晶体管 T35 的源极连接第八薄膜晶体管 T38 的漏极以及第七薄膜晶体管 T37 的漏极,第七薄膜晶体管 T37 的源极与第六薄膜晶体管 T36 的漏极连接,第六薄膜晶体管 T36 的源极接入电源正电压 VDD ,第六薄膜晶体管 T36 的栅极和第七薄膜晶体管 T37 的栅极都接入扫描信号 S3 ,第八薄膜晶体管 T38 的栅极接入扫描信号 S2 ,第八薄膜晶体管 T38 的源极接入数据电压 Vdata 。
上述 8T1C 的架构虽然可以消除驱动 TFT 的 Vth ,但所用 TFT 的数量较多,会降低面板的开口率,从而降低显示亮度,且较多的 TFT 会产生寄生电容等问题。另一方面,该架构需要两个额外电源 Vref 和 Vini ,因此输入信号源较多。
请参照图 4 ,图 4 为本发明的 AMOLED 像素驱动电路的电路图。
如图 4 所示,本发明的 AMOLED 像素驱动电路包括 第一薄膜晶体管 T1 、第二薄膜晶体管 T2 、第三薄膜晶体管 T3 、第四薄膜晶体管 T4 、第五薄膜晶体管 T5 、第六薄膜晶体管 T6 、第一电容 C1 、第二电容 C2 以及有机发光二极管 D1 。其中所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 为驱动薄膜晶体管,所述第五薄膜晶体管 T5 为开关薄膜晶体管。

所述第二薄膜晶体管 T2 的栅极接入第一扫描信号 Scan1 ,所述第二薄膜晶体管 T2 的源极与所述第二电容 C2 和所述第一电容 C1 之间的节点电性连接。
所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的栅极与所述第二电容 C2 和所述第一电容 C1 之间的节点电性连接,所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极与所述第一电容 C1 的另一端电性连接;
所述第六薄膜晶体管 T6 的栅极接入第二扫描信号 Scan2 ,所述第六薄膜晶体管 T6 的源极接入电源负电压 OVSS ;所述第六薄膜晶体管 T6 的漏极与所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的漏极电性连接;也即第六薄膜晶体管 T6 的漏极分别与所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极、第一电容 C1 的另一端以及第四薄膜晶体管 T4 的漏极电性连接。
所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 的栅极接入第三扫描信号 Scan3 ,所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 的源极接入数据电压 Vd ;所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 的漏极与所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极电性连接。也即,所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 的漏极与所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极、第六薄膜晶体管 T6 的漏极以及第一电容 C1 的另一端电性连接。
所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 、第二薄膜晶体管 T2 、第三薄膜晶体管 T3 、第四薄膜晶体管 T4 、第五薄膜晶体管 T5 以及第六薄膜晶体管 T6 均为低温多晶硅薄膜晶体管、氧化物半导体薄膜晶体管以及非晶硅薄膜晶体管中的一种。
所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 、第二扫描信号 Scan2 以及第三扫描信号 Scan3 均通过外部时序控制器产生。
所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 、第二薄膜晶体管 T2 、第三薄膜晶体管 T3 、第四薄膜晶体管 T4 、第五薄膜晶体管 T5 以及第六薄膜晶体管 T6 均为 N 型薄膜晶体管。
所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 、第二扫描信号 Scan2 、及第三扫描信号 Scan3 相组合,先后对应于一初始化阶段、一阈值电压存储阶段、及一发光显示阶段;
基于上述 AMOLED 像素驱动电路,本发明还提供一种 AMOLED 像素驱动方法,包括如下步骤:
S101 、提供一 AMOLED 像素驱动电路。
具体请参阅图 4 和上文。
S102 、进入初始化阶段。
结合图 5 和 6 ,在所述初始化阶段也即 t0-t1 时段,所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 和所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 都为高电位,所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 为低电位;
所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 提供高电位,使得所述第二、第五薄膜晶体管 T2 、 T5 打开。所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 提供高电位,使得所述第三、第六薄膜晶体管 T3 、 T6 打开。所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 提供低电位,所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 关闭, OVDD 对第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的栅极(简称 g 点)充电,使得所述第一薄膜晶体管的栅极 Vg 的电压等于电源正电压 OVDD 。由于第六薄膜晶体管 T6 打开, OVSS 对第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极(简称 s 点)充电,使得所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极 Vs 的电压等于电源负电压 OVSS 。由于第五薄膜晶体管 T5 开启,因此有机发光二极管 D1 不发光,此阶段完成对 g 点和 s 点电位的初始化。
S103 、进入阈值电压存储阶段。
结合图 5 和 7 ,在该阈值电压存储阶段也即 t1-t2 时段,所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 和所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 都为高电位,所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 为低电位。
所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 提供高电位,使得所述第二、第五薄膜晶体管 T2 、 T5 打开,所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 提供低电位,使得所述第三、第六薄膜晶体管 T3 、 T6 关闭。所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 提供高电位,所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 打开,使得数据电压 Vd 对 s 点充电,所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极 Vs 的电压等于数据电压 Vd 。由于第二薄膜晶体管 T2 开启,第三薄膜晶体管 T3 关闭,使得 g 点电位通过第一、二薄膜晶体管 T1 、 T2 进行放电,直到 g 点与 s 点的之间的夹压为驱动薄膜晶体管 T1 的阈值电压 Vth 时截止。
由于 Vg 与 Vs 之间满足下式:
Vg-Vs=Vth ;
其中 Vs=Vd ;
则有 Vg 为:
Vg=Vd+Vth ;
也即所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的栅极的电压变化至 Vd+Vth 。其中 Vg 为 g 点电压, Vs 为 s 点电压, Vd 为数据电压, Vth 为所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的阈值电压。
由于第五薄膜晶体管 T5 开启,因此有机发光二极管 D1 不发光,此阶段完成对阈值电压 Vth 电位的存储。
S104 、进入发光显示阶段。
结合图 5 和 8 ,在发光显示阶段也即 t2-t3 时段,所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 和所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 都为低电位,所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 为高电位。
所述第一扫描信号 Scan1 提供低电位,所述第二、第五薄膜晶体管 T2 、 T5 关闭。所述第二扫描信号 Scan2 提供高电位,所述第三、第六薄膜晶体管 T3 、 T6 打开。所述第三扫描信号 Scan3 提供低电位,所述第四薄膜晶体管 T4 关闭。由于第五薄膜晶体管 T5 关闭,有机发光二极管 D1 发光,且流经所述有机发光二极管的电流与所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的阈值电压无关。
具体地,由于第四薄膜晶体管 T4 关闭、第六薄膜晶体管 T6 打开,使得 s 点电位变为 Vs=OVSS ; T2 关闭。
由电容耦合定理可得 g 点电位 Vg 如下:
Vg=Vd+Vth+δV ;
其中 δV 如下:
δV=(OVSS-Vd)*C1/(C1+C2) ;
其中 δV 为所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的源极的电压由数据电压变化至电源负电压后对所述第一薄膜晶体管 T1 的栅极的电压产生的影响, C1 为第一电容的电容值, C2 为第二电容的电容值。
g 点与 s 点之间的夹压 Vgs ,此时变为如下:
Vgs=Vg-Vs =δV+Vth+Vd-OVSS ;
流过有机发光二极管 D1 的电流满足 :
I=k(Vgs-Vth)2=k(Vd-OVSS+δV)2
结合上面的公式,得到最终流过有机发光二极管 D1 的电流 为:
I=k[(Vd-OVSS)*C2/(C1+C2)]2
可知有机发光二极管的电流与驱动薄膜晶体管 (T1) 的阈值电压 Vth 无关,消除了阈值电压 Vth 对有机发光二极管的影响,从而提高了面板显示的均匀性以及发光效率。
本发明的 AMOLED 像素驱动电路及像素驱动方法,通过对现有的像素驱动电路进行改进,从而消除了驱动薄膜晶体管的阈值电压对有机发光二极管的影响,提高了面板显示均匀性,此外还避免了面板随 OLED 器件的老化而出现的亮度降低、发光效率下降等问题。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
