Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of display technology, and specifically relates to a pixel driving circuit, a display panel and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) is a light-emitting device that uses organic solid-state semiconductors as light-emitting materials. It has broad application prospects due to its advantages such as simple preparation process, low cost, low power consumption, high luminous brightness, and wide operating temperature adaptability.
[0003] During the preparation of OLED display panels, when sputtering is performed to form the topmost conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit, metal particles may be generated before and after the sputtering. The metal particles embedded in the flat layer or the insulating layer cause local protrusions in the insulating layer or the flat layer, resulting in protrusions in the topmost conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit layer. At the same time, the insulating layer or the flat layer coated above is locally thin, and the distance between the topmost conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit layer and the anode of the light-emitting device located on the upper layer becomes closer. The metal particles can easily cause a short circuit between the two, resulting in dark spot defects. Summary of the invention

[0054] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0055] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present disclosure belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, similar words such as "one", "one" or "the" do not indicate quantity restrictions, but indicate that there is at least one. Similar words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Similar words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0056] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary pixel driving circuit structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pixel driving circuit includes: a data writing transistor M1, a driving transistor M2, a sensing transistor M3, a storage capacitor C and a light emitting device D. The first electrode of the light emitting device D may be an anode, and the second electrode may be a cathode.
[0057] Specifically, the gate of the data writing transistor M1 is connected to the first scanning signal terminal Gate1, the source is connected to the data signal terminal Data, and the drain is connected to the first node N1, which is a connection point between the drain of the data writing transistor M1, the gate of the driving transistor M2, and the storage capacitor C. The gate of the driving transistor M2 is connected to the first node N1, the source is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD, and the drain is connected to the second node N2, which is a connection point between the drain of the driving transistor M2, the anode of the light emitting device D, and the drain of the sensing transistor M3. The gate of the sensing transistor M3 is connected to the second scanning signal terminal Gate2, the source is connected to the sensing signal terminal Sense, and the drain is connected to the second node N2. One end of the storage capacitor C is connected to the first node N1, and the other end is connected to the second node N2. The anode of the light emitting device D is connected to the second node N2, and the cathode is connected to the second power supply voltage terminal VSS. The first power supply voltage terminal VDD is a high-level voltage terminal, and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS is a low-level power supply voltage terminal.
[0058] Among them, the data writing transistor M1 is turned on under the control of the first scanning signal, and the data signal of the data signal terminal Data can be input to the first node N1. The driving transistor M3 can be turned on under the drive of the voltage of the first node N1, and the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD is converted into a driving current and input to the second node N2. At the same time, the sensing transistor M3 is turned on under the control of the second scanning signal, and the sensing signal can be input to the second node N2. The storage capacitor C can store the voltage of the first node N1 and the second node N2 to externally compensate the voltage of the anode of the light-emitting device D, so as to avoid the threshold voltage offset of the driving transistor M2 affecting the brightness of the light-emitting device D.
[0059] During the preparation of the display panel, when the top conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit is formed by sputtering, metal particles may be generated before and after the sputtering. The metal particles embedded in the flat layer or the insulating layer cause the insulating layer or the flat layer to partially protrude, resulting in a protrusion in the top conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit layer. At the same time, the insulating layer or the flat layer coated above is partially thin, and the distance between the top conductive layer of the pixel driving circuit layer and the anode of the light-emitting device located on the upper layer becomes closer. The metal particles can easily cause a short circuit between the two, resulting in dark spot defects.
[0060] In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit, a display panel and a display device.

The source and drain may be symmetrical in structure, so the source and drain may have no difference in physical structure.
[0063] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit can Figure 1 In addition to the 3T1C structure (i.e., three transistors and one storage capacitor) shown, it can also be a structure including other numbers of transistors, such as a 7T2C structure, a 6T1C structure, a 6T2C structure, or a 9T2C structure. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, and the above circuit structures are used as examples in the following description.
[0064] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of another pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pixel driving circuit includes: a data writing subcircuit 201, a first driving subcircuit 202, a second driving subcircuit 203, a first storage subcircuit 204, a second storage subcircuit 205, a first repairing subcircuit 206 and a second repairing subcircuit 207.
[0065] The data writing subcircuit 201 is configured to write the data signal into the first node N1 in response to the scan signal; the first node N1 is the connection point between the data writing subcircuit 201, the first driving subcircuit 202, the second driving subcircuit 203, the first storage subcircuit 204, and the second storage subcircuit 205.
[0066] The first driving subcircuit 202 is configured to convert the voltage signal of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD into a driving current in response to the voltage of the first node N1, and provide the driving current to the second node N2; the second node N2 is the connection point between the first driving subcircuit 202, the first storage subcircuit 204, and the anode of the first light-emitting device D1.
[0067] The second driving subcircuit 203 is configured to convert the voltage signal of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD into a driving current in response to the voltage of the first node N1, and provide the driving current to the third node N3; the third node N3 is the connection point between the second driving subcircuit 203, the second storage subcircuit 205, and the anode of the second light-emitting device D2.
[0068] The first storage sub-circuit 204 is configured to store voltages of the first node N1 and the second node N2 .
[0069] The second storage sub-circuit 205 is configured to store voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3 .
[0070] The first repair sub-circuit 206 is configured to cut off the path between the first power supply voltage terminal VDD and the second node N2 when a reverse current flows through the first light emitting device D1 .
[0071] The second repair sub-circuit 207 is configured to cut off the path between the first power supply voltage terminal VDD and the third node N3 when a reverse current flows through the second light emitting device D2.
[0072] The pixel driving circuit provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be divided into two light-emitting paths. Under normal circumstances, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD is a high-level voltage, and the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal VSS is a low-level voltage. The first driving subcircuit 202 can convert the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD into a driving current, and the driving current can be transmitted from the anode of the first light-emitting device D1 to the cathode direction, so that the first light-emitting device D1 emits light. The second driving subcircuit 203 can convert the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD into a driving current, and the driving current can be transmitted from the anode of the second light-emitting device D2 to the cathode direction, so that the second light-emitting device D2 emits light. When a light-emitting device in one of the light-emitting paths is short-circuited, resulting in a dark spot defect, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD can be changed to a low-level voltage, and the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal VSS can be changed to a high-level voltage. Taking the short circuit of the first light emitting device D1 as an example, the first light emitting device D1 is equivalent to a wire, in which current can be transmitted, so that the current flows from the second power supply voltage terminal VSS to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD. A first repair subcircuit 206 is set in the path, and the current size can be adjusted by setting the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS. The first repair subcircuit 206 can be burned out under the action of a large current to cut off the path between the first power supply voltage terminal VSS and the second node N2. The second light emitting device D2 has unidirectional conductivity and plays a reverse cutoff role. The second repair subcircuit 207 remains intact, and the path remains good. Under normal circumstances, the display function can be realized. In this way, the difficulty of repairing pixel dark spots can be reduced, and even the effect of no need for repair can be achieved, thereby reducing the repair cost and improving production efficiency.
[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the first repair sub-circuit 206 includes: a first resistor R1; the second repair sub-circuit 207 includes: a second resistor R2; one end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD, and the other end is connected to the first driving sub-circuit 202; one end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD, and the other end is connected to the second driving sub-circuit 203.
[0074] Specifically, the first repair subcircuit 206 may be a first resistor R1 having a relatively large resistance, and the second repair subcircuit 207 may be a second resistor R2 having a relatively large resistance. For example, the resistance of the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 may be 2000 ohms to 3000 ohms. The first resistor R1 may be connected between the first power supply voltage terminal VDD and the first driving subcircuit 202, and the second resistor R2 may be connected between the first power supply voltage terminal VDD and the second driving subcircuit 203. When a short circuit occurs in the first light-emitting device D1, causing a dark spot defect, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD may be changed to a low-level voltage, and the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal VSS may be changed to a high-level voltage (its timing diagram is shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 2a The first light emitting device D1 is equivalent to a wire, in which current can be transmitted, so that the current flows from the second power supply voltage terminal VSS to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD. A first resistor R1 is arranged in the path, and the current size can be adjusted by setting the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS. The first resistor R1 can be burned out under the action of a large current (its schematic diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2b As shown in the figure, the path between the first power supply voltage terminal VSS and the second node N2 is cut off. The second light emitting device D2 has unidirectional conductivity and plays a reverse cutoff role. The second resistor R2 therein remains intact, and the path remains good. Under normal circumstances, the display function can be realized. In this way, the difficulty of repairing pixel dark spots can be reduced, and even the effect of not needing repair can be achieved, thereby reducing the repair cost and improving production efficiency.

[0076] Specifically, the first repair subcircuit 206 may be a third resistor R3 having a relatively large resistance, and the second repair subcircuit 207 may be a fourth resistor R4 having a relatively large resistance. For example, the resistance of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 may be 2000 ohms to 3000 ohms. The third resistor R3 may be connected between the first driving subcircuit 202 and the second node N2 (i.e., the anode of the first light-emitting device D1), and the fourth resistor R4 may be connected between the second driving subcircuit 203 and the third node N3 (i.e., the anode of the second light-emitting device D2). When a short circuit occurs in the first light-emitting device D1, causing a dark spot defect, the voltage of the first power supply voltage terminal VDD may be changed to a low-level voltage, and the voltage of the second power supply voltage terminal VSS may be changed to a high-level voltage (its timing diagram is shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 2aThe first light emitting device D1 is equivalent to a wire, in which current can be transmitted, so that the current flows from the second power supply voltage terminal VSS to the first power supply voltage terminal VDD. A third resistor R3 is provided in the path, and the current size can be adjusted by setting the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS. The third resistor R3 can be burned out under the action of a large current (its schematic diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 3a As shown in the figure, the path between the first power supply voltage terminal VSS and the second node N2 is cut off. The second light emitting device D2 has unidirectional conductivity and plays a reverse cutoff role. The fourth resistor R4 remains intact, and the path remains good. Under normal circumstances, the display function can be realized. In this way, the difficulty of repairing pixel dark spots can be reduced, and even the effect of not needing repair can be achieved, thereby reducing the repair cost and improving production efficiency.

[0079] The second scanning signal can control the fourth transistor T4 to turn on, and input the sensing signal of the sensing signal terminal Sense to the second node N2, so as to perform external compensation on the voltage of the second node N2, so as to avoid the voltage of the second node N2 being affected, and ensure that the first light-emitting device D1 reaches a preset brightness. The second scanning signal can also control the fifth transistor T5 to turn on, and input the sensing signal of the sensing signal terminal Sense to the third node N3, so as to perform external compensation on the voltage of the third node N3, so as to avoid the voltage of the third node N3 being affected, and ensure that the second light-emitting device D2 reaches a preset brightness.

A fifth resistor R5 is provided in the path, and the current can be adjusted by setting the voltage of the sensing signal terminal Sense and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS. The fifth resistor R5 can be burned out under the action of a large current (its schematic diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 4b As shown in the figure, the path between the sensing signal terminal Sense and the second node N2 is cut off. The second light emitting device D2 has unidirectional conductivity and plays a reverse cutoff role. The sixth resistor R6 remains intact, and the path remains good. Under normal circumstances, the display function can be realized. In this way, the difficulty of repairing pixel dark spots can be reduced, and even the effect of not needing repair can be achieved, thereby reducing the repair cost and improving production efficiency.

[0084] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a resistor in a pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first resistor R1 is formed by overlapping the first electrode 501a, the second electrode 502a of the first light-emitting device D1 and the first power signal line 504 connected to the first power voltage terminal VDD; the second resistor R2 is formed by overlapping the first electrode 501b, the second electrode 502b of the second light-emitting device D2 and the first power signal line 504 connected to the first power voltage terminal VDD.
[0085] In practical applications, the first light-emitting device D1 may include: a first electrode 501a and a second electrode 502a arranged opposite to each other, and a first light-emitting layer 503a between the first electrode 501a and the second electrode 502b. The first electrode 501a may be an anode, the second electrode 502a may be a cathode, and the first light-emitting layer 503a may emit light under the voltage drive of the anode and the cathode. The first electrode 501a may be made of a three-layer structure, namely, a first indium tin oxide layer ITO1 and a second indium tin oxide layer ITO2 arranged opposite to each other, and a metal layer between the first indium tin oxide layer ITO1 and the second indium tin oxide layer ITO2, which may specifically be an aluminum alloy.
[0086] During the preparation process, each film layer in the first light-emitting device D1 can be disconnected and set, wherein the first indium tin oxide layer ITO1 in the first electrode 501a can be overlapped with the first power signal line 504 through a via. Since the second electrode 502a is generally made of a transparent metal material, during the preparation process, the second electrode 502 can enter the fault, so that the second electrode 502 overlaps with the first indium tin oxide layer ITO1. At the same time, the second electrode extends toward the first driving transistor T2, and overlaps with the source of the first driving transistor T2 in the same overlapping manner as described above. When a dark spot occurs, the current flow in the first resistor R1 can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, since the resistance of the first resistor R1 is relatively large, it will be burned out under the action of a large current, and its burning position can be as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, it can also be the overlapping position of each film layer.
[0087] In this way, a plurality of film layers are overlapped to increase the resistance of the first resistor R1, so that the resistance of the first resistor R1 can reach the kilo-ohm level, so that it can be burned out by a large current, thereby repairing the dark spot defect.
[0088] It should be noted here that in the above description, only the first resistor R1 is used as an example. Other resistors for repair are provided in the pixel driving circuit. For example, the second electrode R2, the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6 can adopt the same overlapping method to achieve a resistance value of kilo-ohms, which will not be described in detail here.
