Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of display technology, and more specifically to a display panel. Background Technology
[0002] When an LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-silicon) backplane drives a light-emitting device, the leakage current of the transistor affects the brightness stability of the device. Specifically, a significant leakage current exists between the first reset line (used to reset the gate of the first transistor) and the gate of the first transistor. When the display panel is driven at a low refresh rate, the gate voltage of the driving transistor is affected by the leakage current, causing large fluctuations in the current flowing through the light-emitting device. This results in significant variations in brightness, leading to flickering issues on the display panel. Summary of the Invention

Figure 3 This is a timing diagram of the pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel also includes multiple light-emitting devices D, multiple pixel driving circuits, and multiple signal lines.
[0043] Multiple light-emitting devices D and multiple pixel driving circuits are electrically connected, and the multiple pixel driving circuits are used to drive the multiple light-emitting devices D to emit light. Optionally, the light-emitting devices D include organic light-emitting diodes, sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes, micro light-emitting diodes, etc.
[0044] Optionally, the multiple signal lines include multiple scan lines, multiple data lines DL, multiple light emission control lines EML, a first reset line VL1, a first sub-reset line VL21, and a second reset line VL22.
[0045] Multiple scan lines are used to transmit multiple scan signals. These scan lines include multiple first scan lines SL1, multiple second scan lines SL21, multiple third scan lines SL22, and multiple fourth scan lines SL23. First scan line SL1 transmits the first scan signal S1, while second scan lines SL21, SL22, and SL23 transmit the second scan signal S2.

[0047] Optionally, the display panel further includes multiple gating drive circuits, including multiple cascaded first gating drive circuits, multiple cascaded second gating drive circuits, and multiple cascaded third gating drive circuits.

[0048] Each pixel driving circuit is electrically connected to the corresponding scan line, the corresponding data line DL, the corresponding light emission control line EML, the first reset line VL1, and the first sub-reset line VL21, so as to control the corresponding light emission device D to emit light according to the corresponding scan signal, data signal, light emission control signal, and reset signal.
[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 2 At least one pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor T1, a compensation transistor, a reset transistor, and a coupling capacitor Co.
[0050] The source and drain of the driving transistor T1 are connected in series with the light-emitting device D between the first power line VDD and the second power line VSS, and are used to generate a driving current to drive the light-emitting device D to emit light according to the data signal transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1.
[0051] The compensation transistor includes a first sub-transistor TL1 and a second sub-transistor TL2 connected in series, with a connection node A between them. One of the source and drain of the first sub-transistor TL1 is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor T1. The other of the source and drain of the first sub-transistor TL1 is electrically connected to one of the source and drain of the second sub-transistor TL2 via connection node A. The other of the source and drain of the second sub-transistor TL2 is electrically connected to one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. The gates of both the first sub-transistor TL1 and the second sub-transistor TL2 are electrically connected to a first scan line SL1. The first sub-transistor TL1 includes a first sub-active pattern, and the second sub-transistor TL2 includes a second sub-active pattern. Optionally, when driving the light-emitting device D in the nth row, the first scan line SL1, where the gates of the first sub-transistor TL1 and the second sub-transistor TL2 are electrically connected, transmits the first scan signal S1(n) of the nth stage. Here, n is greater than or equal to 1.
[0052] The source and drain of the reset transistor are electrically connected between the first reset line VL1 and the connection node A, and the gate of the reset transistor is electrically connected to the second scan line SL21. The reset transistor is used to transmit the first reset signal Vi1 to the connection node A according to the second scan signal transmitted by the second scan line SL21.
[0053] Optionally, the reset transistor includes a third sub-transistor TL3 and a fourth sub-transistor TL4 connected in series. One of the source and drain of the third sub-transistor TL3 is electrically connected to the first reset line VL1. One of the source and drain of the fourth sub-transistor TL4 is electrically connected to the connection node A. The other of the source and drain of the fourth sub-transistor TL4 is electrically connected to the other of the source and drain of the third sub-transistor TL3. The gates of both the third sub-transistor TL3 and the fourth sub-transistor TL4 are electrically connected to the second scan line SL21. The third sub-transistor TL3 includes a third sub-active pattern, and the fourth sub-transistor TL4 includes a fourth sub-active pattern.
[0054] The coupling capacitor Co is connected in series between the first reset line VL1 and the connection node A to maintain the potential of the connection node A.
[0055] Since the coupling capacitor Co is connected in series between the first reset line VL1 and the connection node A, and the source and drain of the reset transistor are electrically connected between the first reset line VL1 and the connection node A, when the reset transistor is turned on, the first reset signal Vi1 can be directly transmitted to the connection node A via the reset transistor. When the reset transistor is not turned on, the first reset signal Vi1 can be coupled to the connection node A via the coupling capacitor Co.
[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The at least one pixel driving circuit also includes a data transistor T2. The source and drain of the data transistor T2 are electrically connected between the data line DL and the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. The gate of the data transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third scan line SL22. The data transistor T2 is used to transmit a data signal to the gate of the driving transistor T1 according to the second scan signal S2 transmitted by the third scan line SL22. The second scan signal transmitted by the third scan line SL22 is valid after the second scan signal transmitted by the second scan line SL21. That is, when driving the light-emitting device D in the nth row, the third scan line SL22, to which the gate of the data transistor T2 is electrically connected, transmits the second scan signal S2(n) of the nth level, and the second scan line SL21, to which the gate of the reset transistor is electrically connected, transmits the second scan signal S2(n-1) of the (n-1)th level.
[0057] Optionally, the first reset signal Vi1 has a first potential V1 and a second potential V2. The first reset signal Vi1 transitions from the first potential V1 to the second potential V2 after the data signal is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1. The difference between the first potential V1 and the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 is greater than the difference between the second potential V2 and the gate potential of the driving transistor T1. This reduces the leakage current between the connection node A and the gate of the driving transistor T1 during the light-emitting phase when the driving transistor T1 drives the light-emitting device D to emit light, thereby improving the low-frequency flicker problem.
[0058] Optionally, the second potential V2 is close to the gate potential of the driving transistor T1. Optionally, the second potential V2 is equal to the gate potential of the driving transistor T1, so that during the light-emitting stage when the driving transistor T1 drives the light-emitting device D to emit light, the leakage current between the connection node A and the gate of the driving transistor T1 is reduced by making the connection node A and the gate of the driving transistor T1 at the same potential, thereby improving the low-frequency flicker problem. It is understood that, due to the influence of signal transmission, manufacturing process and other factors, the second potential V2 being equal to the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 should be understood as the second potential V2 being basically close to the gate potential of the driving transistor T1, that is, the difference between the second potential V2 and the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 may not be zero.
[0059] Optionally, the moment when the first reset signal Vi1 jumps from the first potential V1 to the second potential V2 is the same as the moment when the data transistor T2 is turned off, so that after the data signal is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the difference between the potential of the first node A and the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 is immediately reduced, thereby reducing the influence of the potential of the first node A on the gate potential of the driving transistor T1, and consequently reducing the brightness variation of the light-emitting device D.
[0060] Optionally, the data signal transitions from a third potential to a fourth potential at the moment the write frame WF switches to the hold frame HF. The third potential is lower than the fourth potential, so that the driving transistor T1 is biased and turned on using the fourth potential within the hold frame HF, thereby improving the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor T1 and facilitating stable drive current. Optionally, the first reset signal Vi1 transitions from the first potential V1 to the second potential V2 at the same time as the data signal transitions from the third potential to the fourth potential, so as to reduce the difference between the potential of the first node A and the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 within the hold frame HF. The write frame WF includes the stage where the data signal is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1, while the hold frame HF does not include the stage where the data signal is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1.
[0061] After the first reset signal Vi1 jumps from the first potential V1 to the second potential V2, the potential at connection node A changes due to the coupling capacitance Co. Furthermore, one of the source and drain terminals of the reset transistor also receives the first reset signal Vi1. Therefore, the voltage difference between the source and drain of the reset transistor decreases, making the potential of the one electrically connected to the first reset signal Vi1 in the reset transistor close to the potential of connection node A. Consequently, there is no leakage path between the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the first reset line connected via the reset transistor. The degree of leakage from connection node A to the first reset line via the reset transistor is reduced, further reducing the degree of leakage from the gate of the driving transistor T1 to the first reset line via the reset transistor. In other words, compared to the prior art design where the source and drain of the reset transistor are electrically connected to the other of the source and drain of the second sub-transistor TL2 and the first reset line VL1, this application can reduce the degree of leakage from the gate of the driving transistor T1 to the first reset line VL1 via the reset transistor, thus improving the low-frequency drive flicker problem.
[0062] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The at least one pixel driving circuit also includes a compensation transistor T3, a first switching transistor T4, a second switching transistor T5, an initialization transistor T6, and a storage capacitor Cst.
[0063] The source and drain of compensation transistor T3 are electrically connected between one of the source and drain of driving transistor T1 and the other of the source and drain of second sub-transistor TL2. The gate of compensation transistor T3 is electrically connected to the third scan line SL22. Compensation transistor T3 is used to cooperate with data transistor T2 to transmit the data signal to the gate of driving transistor T1 according to the second scan signal S2 transmitted by the third scan line SL22.
[0064] The source and drain of the first switching transistor T4 are electrically connected between the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 and the first power supply line VDD. The source and drain of the second switching transistor T5 are electrically connected between the one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 and the first node B. The gates of both the first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 are electrically connected to the light-emitting control line EML. The first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 are used to drive the driving transistor T1 to drive the light-emitting device D to emit light according to the light-emitting control signal EM transmitted by the light-emitting control line EML. Optionally, when driving the light-emitting device D in the nth row, the light-emitting control line EML, to which the gates of the first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 are electrically connected, transmits the light-emitting control signal EM(n) of the nth level.
[0065] The source and drain of the initialization transistor T6 are electrically connected between the first sub-reset line VL21 and the first node B, and the gate of the initialization transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fourth scan line SL23. The initialization transistor T6 is used to transmit the second reset signal transmitted by the first sub-reset line VL21 to the first node B according to the second scan signal transmitted by the fourth scan line SL23. Optionally, when driving the light-emitting device D in the nth row, the fourth scan line SL23, to which the gate of the initialization transistor T6 is electrically connected, transmits the second scan signal SL2(n) of the nth level or the second scan signal SL2(n-1) of the (n-1)th level.
[0066] The light-emitting device D is electrically connected between the first node B and the second power line VSS. The storage capacitor Cst is connected in series between the first power line VDD and the gate of the driving transistor T1 to maintain the gate potential of the driving transistor T1.
[0067] Understandably, a single-pixel driving circuit can also drive multiple light-emitting devices D. Optionally, when a single-pixel driving circuit drives multiple light-emitting devices D, the multiple light-emitting devices D can be connected in parallel and / or in series. Each transistor in the pixel driving circuit comprises a silicon semiconductor material. Optionally, the silicon semiconductor material includes polycrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon, etc.

Figures 2-3Taking the pixel driving circuit as an example where each transistor in the pixel driving circuit is a P-type transistor and the pixel driving circuit drives the light-emitting device D in the nth row to emit light, the working principle of the pixel driving circuit is explained.
[0069] During the reset phase t1, the first scan signal S1(n) transmitted by the first scan line SL1 and the second scan signal S2(n-1) transmitted by the second scan line SL21 are valid. The first sub-transistor TL1, the second sub-transistor TL2, the third sub-transistor TL3 and the fourth sub-transistor TL4 are turned on. The first reset signal Vi1 transmitted by the first reset line VL1 is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1 through the third sub-transistor TL3, the fourth sub-transistor TL4 and the first sub-transistor TL1 to reset the gate potential of the driving transistor T1.
[0070] During the data writing phase t2, the first scan signal S1(n) transmitted by the first scan line SL1 and the second scan signal S2(n) transmitted by the third scan line SL22 and the fourth scan line SL23 are active. The first sub-transistor TL1, the second sub-transistor TL2, the data transistor T2, the compensation transistor T3, and the initialization transistor T6 are turned on. The data signal transmitted by the data line DL is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1 via the data transistor T2, the compensation transistor T3, the second sub-transistor TL2, and the first sub-transistor TL1. The second reset signal transmitted by the first sub-reset line VL21 is transmitted to the first node B via the initialization transistor T6 to reset the anode potential of the light-emitting device D.
[0071] During the light-emitting stage t3, the light-emitting control signal EM(n) transmitted by the light-emitting control line EML is valid. The first switching transistor T4 and the second switching transistor T5 turn on in response to the light-emitting control signal EM(n), and the driving transistor T1 generates the driving current to drive the light-emitting device D to emit light.
[0072] When driving the display using low frequency, a display cycle includes at least one hold frame HF, and the data displayed in the hold frame HF is consistent with the data displayed in the write frame WF. Therefore, it can be understood that the light emission stage t3 extends from the write frame WF to the hold frame HF. The effective pulse of the second scan signal in the hold frame HF can correct the gate potential of the driving transistor T1 in the hold frame HF, thereby adjusting the brightness of the light-emitting device D. Specifically, in the hold frame HF, the driving transistor T1 is biased and turned on using the data transistor T2 and the data signal with the fourth potential to improve the hysteresis effect of the driving transistor T1; the first node B is reset using the initialization transistor T6 and the second reset signal; the connection node A is reset using the reset transistor and the first reset signal with the second potential V2, so that the potential of the connection node A is continuously corrected and pulled to a potential close to the gate potential of the driving transistor T1. Furthermore, when the reset transistor is in the off state according to the invalid pulse of the second scan signal, the potential of the connection node A can be maintained by the coupling capacitor Co, thereby reducing the leakage current between the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the connection node A, as well as reducing the leakage current of the gate of the driving transistor T1 to the first reset line VL1 through the reset transistor, thereby improving the low-frequency drive flicker problem and improving the display quality during low-frequency drive.
[0073] Optionally, the frequency of the light-emitting control signal EM(n) is greater than the frequency of the first scan signal S1(n) to improve the low-frequency flicker problem by continuously changing the brightness of the light-emitting device D. By setting the coupling capacitor Co, the potential of the connection node A after reset can be stabilized, which helps to reduce the leakage current between the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the connection node A, thereby improving the flicker problem caused by large brightness fluctuations during the light-emitting phase and improving the display effect of low-frequency driving.
[0074] like Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of display brightness variation provided by an embodiment of the present invention; wherein, L1 represents the display brightness variation curve obtained by driving the light-emitting device using the pixel driving circuit of the present application, which varies with the gate potential of the driving transistor T1; and L2 represents the display brightness variation curve obtained by driving the light-emitting device using a pixel driving circuit in the prior art (the pixel driving circuit in the prior art has a design without coupling capacitors), which varies with the gate potential of the driving transistor T1. By comparison, it can be seen that within one display cycle (1 Display), the brightness variation amplitude of the light-emitting device D corresponding to L1 is smaller than the brightness variation amplitude of the light-emitting device corresponding to L2, that is, the brightness variation amount ΔL1 of the light-emitting device D corresponding to L1 is smaller than the brightness variation amount ΔL2 of the light-emitting device corresponding to L2. Therefore, the low-frequency driving flicker problem can be improved.
