Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of display, and specifically relates to a pixel driving circuit and a display panel. Background Art
[0002] OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panels have many advantages such as self-luminescence, flexibility, thin thickness, high brightness, low power consumption, fast response, and wide color gamut. They are widely used in electronic products such as televisions, mobile phones, and laptops.
[0003] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are driven by current. The pixel drive circuit includes a switching transistor and a driver transistor. The degree to which the driver transistor is switched on determines the current flowing through the OLED, and thus the OLED's brightness. Due to the limitations of transistor manufacturing processes, the threshold voltage differences between adjacent transistors are small, but the threshold voltages of transistors spaced farther apart can vary significantly. To eliminate display unevenness caused by these threshold voltage differences, the pixel drive circuit must compensate for these differences.
[0004] The pixel driver circuit includes a storage capacitor. During the charging phase, the data voltage and threshold voltage are written to the storage capacitor to compensate for the threshold voltage. During the light-emitting phase, the brightness of the organic light-emitting diode is determined by the data voltage or current, and is not affected by the threshold voltage. However, when charging low-grayscale light in existing pixel driver circuits, the charging current is very low and the charging time is too long, which is not conducive to improving the refresh rate of the display panel.

[0040] The present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 10 includes a first transistor 110 and a first capacitor 120. The first transistor 110 is a driving transistor. The first end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the first power supply terminal 901 through the first node A, and the second end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the second power supply terminal 902 through the display light-emitting unit 20. The voltage of the first power supply terminal 901 (VDD) is greater than the voltage of the second power supply terminal 902. The second power supply terminal 902 can be a ground terminal, and the voltage of the second power supply terminal 902 can be 0. The first capacitor 120 is connected to the control terminal of the first transistor 110 and the first node A. The display light-emitting unit 20 includes an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a light-emitting diode (LED), and a mini light-emitting diode (Mini / Micro LED).
[0043] The pixel driving circuit 10 may further include a second transistor 200, a voltage acquisition unit 300, and a voltage amplification unit 400. The control terminal of the second transistor 200 is connected to the scan line 903, the first terminal of the second transistor 200 is connected to the data line 904, and the second terminal of the second transistor 200 is connected to the input terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 300 via the second node B. The voltage acquisition unit 300 is used to acquire the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. The first input terminal of the voltage amplification unit 400 is connected to the second node B, the second input terminal of the voltage amplification unit 400 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 300, and the output terminal of the voltage amplification unit 400 is connected to the first node A.
[0044] The output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 represents the charging voltage of the first capacitor 120. At the end of charging, the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120, ensuring that the charging voltage is not distorted, which would otherwise cause the charging voltage to fail to reflect the magnitude of the data voltage or data current. During portions of the charging process, the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is greater than the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. Specifically, the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 first increases to a value greater than the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 and then decreases to a value equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. This high-voltage charging process accelerates charging.
[0045] The first transistor 110 and the second transistor 200 may both be P-channel transistors, the control end of the first transistor 110 and the control end of the second transistor 200 being gates, the first end of the first transistor 110 and the first end of the second transistor 200 being sources, and the second end of the first transistor 110 and the second end of the second transistor 200 being drains.
[0046] In some technical solutions, the second end of the second transistor 200 is directly connected to the first node A, and the data voltage or data current of the data line 904 directly charges the first capacitor 120. When charging low grayscale light, the charging current is very small and the charging time is too long, which is not conducive to improving the refresh rate of the display panel.
[0047] In this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit 10 includes a first transistor 110, a first capacitor 120, a second transistor 200, a voltage acquisition unit 300, and a voltage amplification unit 400. The first end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the first power supply terminal 901 via a first node A, and the second end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the second power supply terminal 902 via the display light-emitting unit 20. The first capacitor 120 is connected to the control end of the first transistor 110 and the first node A. The control end of the second transistor 200 is connected to the scan line 903, the first end of the second transistor 200 is connected to the data line 904, and the second end of the second transistor 200 is connected to the input end of the voltage acquisition unit 300 via a second node B. The voltage acquisition unit 300 is used to acquire the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. The voltage amplification unit 400 is connected to the second node B, the voltage acquisition unit 300, and the first node A. During part of the charging period, the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplification unit 400 is greater than the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. The charging voltage is amplified by the voltage amplification unit 400, thereby improving the charging speed and facilitating an increase in the refresh rate of the display panel.
[0048] In addition, at the end of charging, the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 , which ensures that the charging voltage will not be distorted, resulting in the charging voltage not being able to reflect the data voltage or data current.
[0049] In some embodiments, the voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a third transistor 310 and a second capacitor 320. A first terminal of the third transistor 310 is connected to the second node B, and a second terminal of the third transistor 310 is connected to the second power supply terminal 902. A first terminal of the second capacitor 320 is connected to the second node B, and a second terminal of the second capacitor 320 is connected to the control terminal of the third transistor 310 and the second power supply terminal 902. The first terminal of the third transistor 310 and the first terminal of the second capacitor 320 serve as input terminals of the voltage acquisition unit 300.
[0050] The third transistor 310 can be a P-channel transistor, with the control terminal of the third transistor 310 being its gate, the first terminal of the third transistor 310 being its source, and the second terminal of the third transistor 310 being its drain. The third transistor 310 and the second capacitor 320 can be viewed as mirror images of the first transistor 110 and the first capacitor 120, and the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120.
[0051] The voltage acquisition unit 300 includes a third transistor 310 and a second capacitor 320. The third transistor 310 and the second capacitor 320 serve as mirror images of the first transistor 110 and the first capacitor 120. The voltage acquisition unit 300 acquires the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320. The voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. That is, the voltage acquisition unit 300 can acquire the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120. When the data line 904 signal is a current signal, it is not convenient to directly amplify the current signal. The voltage acquisition unit 300 acquires the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320. The voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320 can reflect the data line 904 signal. The voltage amplification unit 400 can amplify the voltage to quickly charge the first capacitor 120.
[0052] In some embodiments, the threshold voltage of the third transistor 310 is equal to the threshold voltage of the first transistor 110. Since the third transistor 310 and the first transistor 110 are designed in the same pixel driving circuit 10, the third transistor 310 and the first transistor 110 are adjacent to each other on the display panel, and the threshold voltages of the third transistor 310 and the first transistor 110 are equal or have a small difference.
[0053] The threshold voltage of the third transistor 310 is equal to the threshold voltage of the first transistor 110 , and the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 . The voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 does not need to be corrected and can directly reflect the data voltage or data current.
[0054] In some embodiments, the voltage acquisition unit 300 further includes a third capacitor 330, the first end of the third capacitor 330 is connected to the second end of the third transistor 310, the second end of the third capacitor 330 is the output end of the voltage acquisition unit 300, and the voltage of the output end of the voltage acquisition unit 300 is V-.
[0055] The voltage amplifying unit 400 includes a voltage amplifier and a first resistor 410. The first input terminal of the voltage amplifier is connected to the second node B, the second input terminal of the voltage amplifier is connected to the output terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 300, the output terminal of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is connected to the first node A, and the first resistor 410 is connected between the output terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 300 and the first node A. The first input terminal, second input terminal, and output terminal of the voltage amplifier serve as the first input terminal, second input terminal, and output terminal of the voltage amplifying unit 400, respectively.
[0056] The voltage amplifier can amplify the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320, so that the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is greater than the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 during part of the charging period. The voltage V- at the output of the voltage acquisition unit 300 can pull down the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400, so that the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is equal to the voltage V1 of the first capacitor 120 at the end of charging.
[0057] For details, see Figure 2 As shown, the voltage amplifier includes a fourth transistor 420, a fifth transistor 430, and a sixth transistor 440. The control terminal of the fourth transistor 420 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage acquisition unit 300, the first terminal of the fourth transistor 420 is connected to the first current source 905, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor 420 is connected to the second current source 906. The control terminal of the fifth transistor 430 is connected to the second node B, the first terminal of the fifth transistor 430 is connected to the first current source 905, and the second terminal of the fifth transistor 430 is connected to the second current source 906 via the third node C. The control terminal of the sixth transistor 440 is connected to the third node C, the first terminal of the sixth transistor 440 is connected to the third current source 907 and the first node A, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor 440 is connected to the second power supply terminal 902.
[0058] The fourth transistor 420 and the sixth transistor 440 may be P-channel transistors, the control end of the fourth transistor 420 and the control end of the fifth transistor 430 may be their gates, the first end of the fourth transistor 420 and the first end of the fifth transistor 430 may be their sources, the second end of the fourth transistor 420 and the second end of the fifth transistor 430 may be their drains, the sixth transistor 440 may be an N-channel transistor, the control end of the fourth transistor 420 may be its gate, the first end of the fourth transistor 420 may be its drain, and the second end of the fourth transistor 420 may be its source.
[0059] The control terminal of the fifth transistor 430 is the first input terminal of the voltage amplifier, the control terminal of the fourth transistor 420 is the second input terminal of the voltage amplifier, and the first terminal of the sixth transistor 440 is the output terminal of the voltage amplifier. The voltage V+ at the control terminal of the fifth transistor 430 is equal to the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320, and the voltage V- at the control terminal of the fourth transistor 420 is V-.
[0060] The output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is equal to K(V+-V-), where K is a constant. When the control voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420 is lower than the control voltage V+ of the fifth transistor 430, since Vout = K(V+-V-), the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 increases, and the control voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420 increases along with the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400. When the control voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420 is higher than the control voltage V+ of the fifth transistor 430, since Vout = K(V+-V-), the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 decreases, and the control voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420 decreases along with the output voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400.
[0061] Because first resistor 410 connects first node A and the control terminal of fourth transistor 420, and because first resistor 410 is a small resistor and the internal resistance of the transistor is much greater than the resistance of first resistor 410, voltage V- at the control terminal of fourth transistor 420 can be considered equal to voltage Vout at the output terminal of voltage amplification unit 400, i.e., V- = Vout, thus forming a negative feedback loop. Based on Vout = K(V+ - V-) and V- = Vout, we can deduce that V+ = V-(1+1 / K). Since K is very large, V+ can be considered = V-, which is a virtual short.
[0062] See also Figure 3As shown, the second end of the second transistor 200 is directly connected to the first node A. When the data voltage or data current of the data line 904 directly charges the first capacitor 120, the charging voltage of the first capacitor 120 gradually increases, as shown in the charging voltage curve L1. In this embodiment, because the third capacitor 330 needs to be charged, when the data line 904 begins to charge the second capacitor 320, the control terminal voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420 does not immediately follow the output terminal voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400, but lags behind for a period of time. Since this hysteresis does not hold, the output terminal voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 increases to a value greater than the control terminal voltage V+ of the fifth transistor 430. When the third capacitor 330 is completely charged, the control terminal voltage V- of the fourth transistor 420, the control terminal voltage V+ of the fifth transistor 430, and the output terminal voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 are equal, as shown in the charging voltage curve L2. The voltage acquisition unit 300 and the voltage amplification unit 400 can amplify the charging voltage and improve the charging speed, while ensuring that the charging voltage is not distorted, resulting in the charging voltage not being able to reflect the data voltage or data current.
[0063] In some embodiments, the capacitance of the second capacitor 320 is smaller than the capacitance of the first capacitor 120 .
[0064] The capacitance of the second capacitor 320 is smaller than that of the first capacitor 120 . The second capacitor 320 is charged faster, and accordingly, the first capacitor 120 is also charged faster.
[0065] It should be understood that, since the output terminal voltage Vout of the voltage amplifying unit 400 is greater than the control terminal voltage V+ of the fifth transistor 430 during part of the charging period, high-voltage charging is used to accelerate the charging speed of the first capacitor 120. Even if the capacitance of the second capacitor 320 is equal to or greater than the capacitance of the first capacitor 120, the charging speed of the first capacitor 120 will be faster than the technical solution in which the second end of the second transistor 200 is directly connected to the first node A and the data voltage or data current of the data line 904 directly charges the first capacitor 120.
[0066] In some embodiments, the voltage acquisition unit 300 further includes a second resistor 340, which is connected between the second terminal of the third transistor 310 and the second power supply terminal 902. The resistance value of the second resistor 340 is equal to the internal resistance of the display light-emitting unit 20. The second terminal of the second capacitor 320 is connected to the second power supply terminal 902 through the third resistor 340.
[0067] The second resistor 340 is connected to the second terminal of the third transistor 310 and the second power supply terminal 902. The second resistor 340 can reduce the current of the third transistor 310. At the same time, the resistance value of the second resistor 340 is equal to the internal resistance of the display light-emitting unit 20, which can reduce the impact of the current of the third transistor 310 on the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320.
[0068] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 10 further includes a seventh transistor 510, wherein a control terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is connected to the scan line 903, a first terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is connected to the output terminal of the voltage amplifying unit 400, and a second terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is connected to the first node A. The seventh transistor 510 may be a P-channel transistor, wherein the control terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is a gate, the first terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is a source, and the second terminal of the seventh transistor 510 is a drain.
[0069] In the charging stage, the seventh transistor 510 and the second transistor 200 are turned on simultaneously. In the light-emitting stage, the seventh transistor 510 and the second transistor 200 are turned off simultaneously to prevent leakage of the first capacitor 120 from affecting the light-emitting unit 20 .
[0070] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 10 further includes an eighth transistor 520, wherein the control terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is connected to the light emission control line 908, the first terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is connected to the first power supply terminal 901, and the second terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is connected to the first node A. The eighth transistor 520 may be a P-channel transistor, wherein the control terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is its gate, the first terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is its source, and the second terminal of the eighth transistor 520 is its drain.
[0071] It should be understood that the first transistor 110, the second transistor 200, the third transistor 310, the fourth transistor 420, the fifth transistor 430, the seventh transistor 510 and the eighth transistor 520 may all be P-channel transistors, and the sixth transistor 440 may be an N-channel transistor, but is not limited to this. By adjusting the control signal, each of the first transistor 110, the second transistor 200, the third transistor 310, the fourth transistor 420, the fifth transistor 430, the sixth transistor 440, the seventh transistor 510 and the eighth transistor 520 may be between an N-channel transistor and a P-channel transistor.
[0072] In the charging stage, the eighth transistor 520 is turned off, and in the light-emitting stage, the eighth transistor 520 is turned on, and current flows through the first power supply terminal 901, the eighth transistor 520, the first transistor 110, the display light-emitting unit 20 and the second power supply terminal 902. The display light-emitting unit 20 is controlled to emit light through the eighth transistor 520, thereby avoiding current flowing through the display light-emitting unit 20 in the charging stage.
[0073] In this embodiment, when the pixel driving circuit 10 works:
[0074] During the charging phase, the second transistor 200 and the seventh transistor 510 are turned on, and the eighth transistor 520 is turned off. The data voltage or data current of the data line 904 charges the second capacitor 320. Since the capacitance of the second capacitor 320 is smaller than that of the first capacitor 120, the second capacitor 320 can be quickly charged. During the charging process, the voltage V2 of the second capacitor 320 is amplified by the voltage amplification unit 400, quickly charging the first capacitor 120.
[0075] During the light-emitting stage, the second transistor 200 and the seventh transistor 510 are turned off, and the eighth transistor 520 is turned on. Since the capacitance of the second capacitor 320 is smaller than the capacitance of the first capacitor 120, the first capacitor 120 with a larger capacitance maintains the current of the first transistor 110, which can make the current of the first transistor 110 more stable, thereby improving the display effect of the light-emitting unit 20.
