[0109] exist Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the photocurrent amplifier circuit shown, all transistors are p-type thin-film transistors, but this is not a limitation.
[0110] This disclosure is as follows Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the photocurrent amplifier circuit shown, in order to ensure that the photodiode D1 can continuously perform photoelectric conversion during the discharge phase, VR needs to be greater than 0, where VR = V2 - Vth - DV - V1; and VR is the reverse bias voltage of the photodiode D1 at the end of the discharge phase; DV is the change in the gate potential of the driving transistor T0 during the discharge phase, and DV is greater than 0.
[0111] exist Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the photocurrent amplification circuit shown, the photoelectric sensor is a photodiode D1, and the photocurrent signal is a photoleakage current signal.
[0112] like Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure is as follows Figure 3 In at least one embodiment of the photocurrent amplifier circuit shown, the working cycle includes a reset phase P1, a compensation phase P2, a discharge phase P3, and a sampling phase P4 arranged sequentially.
[0113] During the reset phase P1, R0 provides a low voltage signal, S0 provides a high voltage signal, S1 provides a high voltage signal, T2 is turned on, and the first voltage signal is written to the gate of T0 and the first terminal of C1. Since V1 is less than V2-Vth-DV, at the beginning of the compensation phase P2, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor T0 is V1-V2<-Vth-DV<-Vth, ensuring that the driving transistor T0 can be turned on at the beginning of the compensation phase P2.
[0114] During the compensation phase P2, S0 provides a low voltage signal, R0 provides a high voltage signal, S1 provides a high voltage signal, and T1 is turned on, so that T0 is connected in the form of a diode.
[0115] At the start of the compensation phase P2, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor T0 is less than -Vth, so the driving transistor T0 is turned on. The second voltage terminal VT2 charges the storage capacitor C1 through the driving transistor T0. The gate voltage of the driving transistor T0 starts to rise from V1. When the gate voltage of the driving transistor T0 rises to V2-Vth, the driving transistor T0 is turned off. At this time, the gate voltage of the driving transistor T0 is V2-Vth. In the discharge phase P3, S0 provides a high voltage signal, R0 provides a high voltage signal, and S1 provides a high voltage signal. The photodiode D1 is in a reverse bias state. The photodiode D1 generates a photocurrent signal. The photocurrent signal flows from the cathode of the photodiode D1 to the anode of the photodiode D1, discharging the storage capacitor C1 and changing the gate voltage of the driving transistor T0.
[0116] At the end of the discharge phase P3, the reverse bias voltage VR of the photodiode D1 is equal to V2-Vth-DV-V1, and VR is greater than 0, so as to ensure that the photodiode D1 can always sense the light signal during the discharge phase P3 to generate the corresponding photocurrent signal.
[0117] During the discharge phase, P3, T1, and T2 are off. Photodiode D1 senses a light signal and converts it into a photocurrent signal IDR to discharge to C1. The discharge time is set to T, then the discharge charge ΔQ = IDR × T; the change in charge on C1 is Qc, Qc = C1z(V2 - Vth - V2) - IDR × T = -C1z × Vth - IDR × T; where C1z is the capacitance of C1; after discharge, the voltage across storage capacitor C1 is Vc = (-C1z × Vth - IDR) × T / C1z = -Vth - IDR × T / C1z; where Vc is the difference between the potential at the first terminal of C1 and the potential at the first terminal of C2.
[0118] During the sampling phase P4, after discharge, the gate-source voltage of T0 is Vgs = Vc = -Vth - IDR × T / C1z, and the driving current of transistor T0 is... The driving current Id is the amplified photocurrent signal; where μ is the electron migration rate, and C OX The capacitance per unit area of the gate oxide layer, The aspect ratio of T0;
[0119] During the sampling phase, P4 and S1 provide low voltage signals, R0 and S0 both provide high voltage signals, and T3 is turned on to output the amplified photocurrent signal through the sampling output terminal Do.
[0120] As can be seen from the above, during the sampling phase P4, the amplified photocurrent signal is independent of Vth. Therefore, the photocurrent amplification circuit described in this embodiment has a threshold voltage compensation function.
[0121] The amplification control method described in this embodiment is applied to the above-mentioned photocurrent amplification circuit, and its working cycle includes a reset stage, a compensation stage, a discharge stage, and a sampling stage set sequentially; the amplification control method includes:
[0122] During the reset phase, under the control of the reset control signal, the reset circuit writes the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage terminal into the control terminal of the drive circuit, so that at the beginning of the compensation phase, the drive circuit can control the connection between the first terminal and the second terminal of the drive circuit under the control of the potential of its control terminal.
[0123] During the compensation phase, under the control of the compensation control signal, the compensation circuit controls the connection between the control terminal of the drive circuit and the first terminal of the drive circuit.

[0173] During the compensation phase P2, S0 provides a low voltage signal, R0 provides a high voltage signal, S1 provides a high voltage signal, and T1 is turned on. When V1 is less than V2-Vth (Vth is the absolute value of the threshold voltage of T0), VT2 charges C1 through T0 and T1. The gate voltage of T0 starts to rise from V1. When the charging time is long enough, when the gate voltage of T0 rises to V2-Vth, T0 is turned off. Therefore, at the end of the compensation phase P2, the gate voltage of T0 is V2-Vth.

The discharge time is set to T, then the discharge charge ΔQ = IDR × T; the charge change on C1 is Qc, Qc = C1z(V2 - Vth - V2) - IDR × T = -C1z × Vth - IDR × T; where C1z is the capacitance of C1; after discharge, the voltage across storage capacitor C1 is Vc = (-C1z × Vth - IDR) × T / C1z = -Vth - IDR × T / C1z; where Vc is the difference between the potential at the first terminal of C1 and the potential at the first terminal of C2.
[0176] During the sampling phase P4, after discharge, the gate-source voltage of T0 is Vgs = Vc = -Vth - IDR × T / C1z, and the driving current of transistor T0 is... The driving current Id is the amplified photocurrent signal; where μ is the electron migration rate, and C OX The capacitance per unit area of the gate oxide layer, The aspect ratio of T0;
[0177] During the sampling phase P4, in order to ensure that the driving transistor operates in the saturation region, a certain bias voltage Vbias needs to be applied to T0. Vbias = V2 - Vref. Vbias is greater than 0, so that the source voltage of T0 is greater than the drain voltage of T0, resulting in a large amplification factor.
[0178] During the sampling phase P4, S1 provides a low voltage signal, R0 and S0 both provide high voltage signals, and T3 is turned on to output the amplified photocurrent signal to the inverting input of the operational amplifier A1 through the sampling output terminal Do. The operational amplifier A1 converts the amplified photocurrent signal into an analog output voltage Vout.
