Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optoelectronic display, and in particular to a method for determining the driving current of a gate-regulated stacked structure light-emitting device. Background Art
[0002] Light-emitting devices (LEDs) in optoelectronic displays are a crucial component of display devices, presenting images or information through light. The principle of light emission in many devices is based on the fact that, upon application of power, electrons and holes combine in the light-emitting layer to form excitons. When these excitons recombine, they release energy and emit light. Examples include QLEDs (quantum dot light-emitting diodes) and OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes). These devices offer advantages such as rich color reproduction, high contrast, fast response, wide viewing angles, and energy conservation and environmental protection. The luminous efficiency or brightness of these devices is significantly affected by the carrier recombination process. Optimal device efficiency is typically achieved by combining different functional layers and quantum dots, a process that requires significant time, materials, and labor. Therefore, gate control has emerged. This technology allows for the creation of a built-in electric field within these devices, enabling the regulation of carrier mobility and, consequently, luminous efficiency or brightness. This improves luminous efficiency and brightness, eliminating the need to rely solely on material combinations to achieve optimal device efficiency.
[0003] In gate control, different combinations of drive current and gate voltage are typically used to achieve a desired brightness while improving luminous efficiency. This combination of drive current and gate voltage requires repeated experimentation. This results in a large number of grayscale values requiring extensive experimentation to determine the corresponding drive current, which in turn reduces the efficiency of light-emitting device fabrication.

[0028] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention divides the required grayscale values that need to determine the driving current into two parts through the threshold grayscale. Because the gate voltage has a subtle effect on the brightness of the required grayscale values that are smaller than the threshold grayscale, more experiments are required to make the driving current and driving gate voltage corresponding to this part of the required grayscale values meet the brightness and efficiency requirements at the same time. However, the brightness of this part of the required grayscale values themselves is relatively low, and even if the optimal efficiency is achieved, the energy saved is relatively small. Therefore, when determining the driving current for the required grayscale values that are smaller than the threshold grayscale, the present invention applies a fixed gate voltage and only changes the current to achieve the purpose of determining the driving current. Compared with the driving current determination method that guarantees the luminous efficiency of all required grayscale values, the present invention can greatly reduce the driving time of the driving current corresponding to some required grayscale values, and improve the overall driving current determination efficiency.
[0029] In summary, the present invention divides the required grayscale values by threshold grayscale, and adopts different determination methods for the driving current of different grayscale values. While ensuring that the light-emitting device saves energy, the efficiency of determining the driving current is improved, thereby improving the preparation efficiency of the light-emitting device.

[0036] The present invention discloses a method for determining the driving current of a gate-regulated stacked-structure light-emitting device. Those skilled in the art may refer to the contents of this document and appropriately improve the technical details for implementation. It is particularly important to note that all similar substitutions and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art and are considered to be included in the present invention. The methods and applications of the present invention have been described through preferred embodiments. It is obvious that relevant persons can modify or appropriately change and combine the methods and applications described herein without departing from the content, spirit, and scope of the present invention to implement and apply the technology of the present invention.
[0037] The applicant has found through research that: in gate regulation, different combinations of driving currents and gate voltages are generally used to improve the luminous efficiency while achieving a preset luminous brightness. The combination of driving current and gate voltage needs to be obtained through repeated experiments. This results in that when there are many grayscale values, a large number of experiments are required to determine the driving current corresponding to each grayscale value, thereby reducing the preparation efficiency of the light-emitting device. The applicant has found through experiments that when the luminous brightness of the light-emitting device is lower than a certain value, the size of its gate voltage has a slight effect on the luminous brightness. Therefore, it takes more experiments to obtain the driving current and gate voltage combination for luminous brightness below this value, which is time-consuming and laborious; and these luminous brightnesses consume less energy overall, and even if the best luminous efficiency is achieved, the energy saved is relatively small, and thus there is little necessity to obtain the driving current and gate voltage combination.
[0038] Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining the driving current of a gate-regulated stacked structure light-emitting device, which is applied to a gate-regulated stacked structure light-emitting device, wherein the light-emitting device includes a light-emitting unit, a gate insulating layer, and a gate regulation electrode; the light-emitting unit includes a first electrode, a light-emitting functional layer, and a second electrode in sequence; a first power supply is applied to the first electrode and the second electrode, and the first power supply is used to power the light-emitting unit to emit light; the gate regulation electrode applies a gate voltage relative to the first electrode and / or the second electrode, and the gate voltage is used to construct an electric field to regulate the mobility of carriers in the light-emitting unit and adjust the luminous efficiency and luminous brightness of the light-emitting unit; Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0039] Step S1: When the gate voltage is removed from the gate control electrode, the first power supply is controlled to apply a gradually changing first current to the light emitting device, and the luminance of the light emitting device is collected in real time to obtain a first functional relationship diagram.
[0040] The first functional relationship diagram is a functional relationship in which the luminance of the light-emitting device changes with the first current.
[0041] It should be noted that typical light-emitting devices require 256 grayscale values for display, and there is a direct linear relationship between grayscale value and luminous brightness: higher grayscale values correspond to higher brightness, while lower grayscale values correspond to lower brightness. This relationship allows for precise control of image brightness by adjusting grayscale values, making it a key method for adjusting image contrast and brightness in image processing.
[0042] Step S2: When different test gate voltages are applied to the gate control electrode, the first power supply is controlled to apply a gradually changing second current to the light emitting device, and the luminance of the light emitting device is collected in real time to obtain a second functional relationship diagram under different test gate voltages.
[0043] The second functional relationship diagram is a functional relationship in which the luminance of the light-emitting device changes with the second current.
[0044] It should be noted that the second functional relationship diagram may have multiple corresponding test gate voltages.
[0045] In this specific embodiment, the first function relationship diagram and a second function relationship diagram can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first functional relationship and the second functional relationship are located in the same coordinates and can also be as shown in Figure 2 shown.
[0046] Step S3: Obtaining a threshold grayscale according to the first function relationship diagram and the second function relationship diagram.
[0047] In this specific embodiment, step S3 includes:
[0048] According to the first function relationship diagram and the second function relationship diagram, a matching interval in which the grayscale difference is lower than the preset difference under the same current is obtained; and a maximum grayscale value corresponding to the matching interval is determined as a threshold grayscale.
[0049] It should be noted that the threshold grayscale is based on the first function relationship diagram, that is, at a certain same current, the grayscale difference between the first function and the second function just reaches a critical value, and the grayscale value of the first function at this time is obtained as the threshold grayscale.
[0050] The minimum grayscale value in the matching range should be zero. In general, the smaller the current, the smaller the grayscale difference. The threshold grayscale can be as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0051] Step S4: determine whether the required grayscale value to be determined of the light-emitting device is less than the threshold grayscale. If so, proceed to step S5; if not, proceed to step S6.
[0052] It should be noted that when the required grayscale value is less than the threshold grayscale, it means that the gate voltage corresponding to the required grayscale value has a subtle effect on its luminous brightness, which leads to the need for a more detailed division of current and gate voltage groups to achieve the best luminous efficiency. Therefore, when matching its optimal gate voltage to achieve the best luminous efficiency, more sets of current and gate voltage combinations are required, which makes it time-consuming to determine the driving current for the required grayscale value less than the threshold grayscale. However, since this part of the required grayscale value corresponds to low brightness and low energy consumption, even at the best luminous efficiency, the energy saved is relatively small. Using a more common gate voltage to ensure that all required grayscale values less than the threshold grayscale can have a good luminous efficiency can greatly improve efficiency by not conducting combination experiments on current and gate voltage.
[0053] Step S5, control the gate regulation to apply a fixed first gate voltage to the first electrode and / or the second electrode, control the first power supply to apply a third current to the light-emitting device, and continuously adjust the third current; in response to the luminance of the light-emitting device meeting the required grayscale value, determine the current third current as the standard driving current of the required grayscale value.
[0054] It should be noted that the first gate voltage is a common driving gate voltage obtained through experiments to ensure that all required grayscale values of the light-emitting device below the threshold grayscale have good luminous efficiency. In this embodiment, only the current needs to be changed to determine the driving current, which greatly improves the efficiency of determining the driving current and thus improves the overall manufacturing efficiency of the light-emitting device.
[0055] In this specific embodiment, step S5 includes:
[0056] According to the first functional relationship diagram, the current corresponding to the required grayscale value in the first functional relationship diagram is determined as the third current;
[0057] Controlling the gate to apply a fixed first gate voltage to the first electrode and / or the second electrode; controlling the first power supply to apply a third current to the light-emitting device, and continuously adjusting the third current;
[0058] In response to the light emitting brightness of the light emitting device meeting the required grayscale value, the current third current is determined as the standard driving current of the required grayscale value.
[0059] It should be noted that, in order to reduce blindness in the process of determining the driving current, the embodiment of the present invention determines a starting third current as a basis.
[0060] Step S6, control the first power supply to apply a fourth current to the light-emitting device, control the gate regulation to apply a second gate voltage to the first electrode and / or the second electrode, and continuously adjust the fourth current and the second gate voltage; in response to the luminous brightness of the light-emitting device meeting the required grayscale value and the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device meeting the required efficiency, determine the current fourth current as the standard driving current of the required grayscale value.
[0061] It should be noted that when the required grayscale value is greater than or equal to the threshold grayscale, it means that the gate voltage corresponding to the required grayscale value has a greater impact on its luminous brightness, and the brightness of this part of the required grayscale value is also greater. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a combination experiment of current and gate voltage to obtain the best driving current and driving gate voltage to ensure that the luminous efficiency reaches the ideal state.
[0062] Step S6 includes:
[0063] According to the first functional relationship diagram, determining the current corresponding to the required grayscale value in the first functional relationship diagram as the fourth current;
[0064] Control the first power supply to apply a fourth current to the light-emitting device, control the gate regulation to apply a second gate voltage to the first electrode and / or the second electrode, and continuously adjust the fourth current and the second gate voltage; in response to the luminous brightness of the light-emitting device meeting the required grayscale value and the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device meeting the required efficiency, determine the current fourth current as the standard driving current of the required grayscale value.
[0065] Similarly, in order to reduce blindness in the process of determining the driving current, the embodiment of the present invention determines a starting fourth current as a basis.
[0066] In this specific embodiment, in step S6, the method further includes:
[0067] In response to the light emitting brightness of the light emitting device meeting the required grayscale value and the light emitting efficiency of the light emitting device meeting the required efficiency, the current second gate voltage is determined as the standard driving gate voltage of the required grayscale value.
[0068] In this specific embodiment, the method includes:
[0069] Obtaining a display grayscale value of the light-emitting device, and obtaining a corresponding standard driving current according to the display grayscale value; obtaining a corresponding standard driving gate voltage according to the standard driving current; wherein, when the display grayscale value is less than a threshold grayscale, the standard driving gate voltage is the same gate voltage;
[0070] The first power supply is controlled to apply a standard driving current to the light emitting device, and the gate regulating electrode is controlled to apply a standard driving gate voltage to the first electrode and / or the second electrode.
[0071] It should be noted that, during the driving process, the corresponding driving current and driving gate voltage can also be quickly found through the threshold grayscale.
