Description

[0002] OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel has the advantages of self-luminescence, flexibility, thin thickness, high brightness, low power consumption, fast response, and wide color gamut, and has broad development prospects.
[0003] The display driving circuit of the organic light emitting diode includes a driving transistor. When the scanning signal arrives, the data signal is written into the gate of the driving transistor to control the degree of opening of the driving transistor, thereby controlling the driving current through the organic light emitting diode and the brightness of the organic light emitting diode. In addition, the brightness of the organic light emitting diode is also affected by the power supply voltage. The higher the power supply voltage, the higher the brightness of the organic light emitting diode.
[0004] In the process of manufacturing display panels, it is difficult to achieve absolute uniformity of film quality at all locations, resulting in different threshold voltages (Vth) of different driving transistors, which in turn leads to different brightness of different organic light-emitting diodes, that is, uneven display of the display panel. At the same time, since the power supply voltage will form a voltage drop when it is transmitted in the metal line (especially more obvious in large-size panels), the power supply voltage drop of different organic light-emitting diodes is different, further exacerbating the uneven display of the display panel.

[0057] Embodiment 1
[0058] See also Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the display driving circuit 100 includes a first transistor 110, a storage unit 120, a first light emitting control unit 130, a data writing unit 140, a compensation unit 150 and a voltage control unit 160. The first transistor 110 is a driving transistor, a first end of the first transistor 110 is connected to a first power source 301, and a second end of the first transistor 110 is connected to a second power source 302 through a display light emitting unit 200. The display light emitting unit 200 includes an organic light emitting diode. The voltage of the first power source 301 is greater than the voltage of the second power source 302.
[0059] The storage unit 120 includes a first capacitor 121 and a second capacitor 122. The first capacitor 121 is connected to the control end of the first transistor 110 through a first node A. The second capacitor 122 is connected to the first node A and a second node B between the first transistor 110 and the display light-emitting unit 200. The first light-emitting control unit 130 is connected to the first light-emitting control line 405, the first power source 301 and the first end of the first transistor 110. The first light-emitting control line 405 signal (EM1) controls the conduction or disconnection between the first power source 301 and the first transistor 110, and controls the voltage writing of the first power source 301.
[0060] The data writing unit 140 is connected to the first scan line 401, the data line 404, and the third node C at one end of the first capacitor 121 away from the first node A. The first scan line 401 signal (G1) controls the data line 404 signal to be written into the third node C. The data line 404 signal includes a data voltage Vdata and a non-display voltage, the non-display voltage is 0, and the data voltage Vdata is greater than 0. The compensation unit 150 is at least connected to the second scan line 402, the first node A, and the fourth node D between the first light emitting control unit 130 and the first transistor 110. The second scan line 402 signal (G2) controls the conduction or disconnection between the first node A and the fourth node D. The voltage control unit 160 is connected to the second node B and the ground terminal 303 to control the conduction or disconnection between the second node B and the ground terminal 303.
[0061] See also Figures 2 to 7 As shown, when the display driving circuit 100 works:
[0062] In the initialization stage T1, the data writing unit 140 is turned on, the data line 404 signal is written to the third node C, the voltage of the third node C is 0, the first light emitting control unit 130 and the compensation unit 150 are turned on, the first power supply 301 charges the first node A through the compensation unit 150, the voltage of the first node A is the voltage Vdd of the first power supply 301, the voltage control unit 160 is turned on, the voltage of the second node B is pulled down to 0 by the ground terminal 303, for the first transistor 110, its gate-source voltage difference Vgs=VA-VB=Vdd, the voltage Vdd of the first power supply 301 is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor 110, and the first transistor 110 is turned on;
[0063] In the compensation stage T2, the first light-emitting control unit 130 is turned off, and the data writing unit 140, the compensation unit 150 and the voltage control unit 160 are kept turned on, so that the charge is discharged from the first node A to the ground terminal 303 through the compensation unit 150, the first transistor 110 and the voltage control unit 160 until the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the first transistor 110 is equal to the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor 110, and the first transistor 110 is turned off. At this time, VA=Vth+VB=Vth, that is, the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor 110 is written into the second capacitor 122;
[0064] In the data writing stage T3, the compensation unit 150 is turned off, the first light emitting control unit 130 is kept turned off, the data writing unit 140 and the voltage control unit 160 are kept turned on, and the data voltage Vdata of the data line 404 is written to the third node C. Due to capacitive coupling and charge conservation, the voltage VA of the first node A is Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata, where C1 is the capacitance of the first capacitor 121, and C2 is the capacitance of the second capacitor 122. For the first transistor 110, its gate-source voltage difference Vgs=VA-VB=Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata>Vth, and the first transistor 110 is turned on again;
[0065] In the light emitting stage T5, the first light emitting control unit 130 is turned on, the data writing unit 140, the compensation unit 150 and the voltage control unit 160 are turned off, and the current flows through the display light emitting unit 200 via the first light emitting control unit 130 and the first transistor 110, and the display light emitting unit 200 emits light.
[0066] Since the data writing unit 140 is turned off in the light-emitting stage T5, the third node C has no charging and discharging path, the voltage difference between the first capacitor 121 and the second capacitor 122 remains unchanged, and the threshold voltage Voled of the display light-emitting unit 200 is not considered. The voltage of the first node A is VA=Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata, and the current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is:
[0067] I=1 / 2×μ×k×(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0068] =1 / 2×μ×k×(VA-VB-Vth) 2
[0069] =1 / 2×μ×k×(Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata-Vth) 2
[0070] =1 / 2×μ×k×((C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata) 2 ;
[0071] Wherein, μ is electron mobility, k=Cox×W / L, Cox is the insulation layer capacitance per unit area of the first transistor 110 , and W / L is the channel width-to-length ratio of the first transistor 110 .
[0072] It can be seen from the calculation formula of the current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 that the brightness of the display light-emitting unit 200 is not affected by the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor 110 and the voltage Vdd of the first power supply 301. It not only compensates for the threshold voltage Vth, but also compensates for the influence of the power supply voltage drop, thereby improving the uneven display problem of the display panel.
[0073] In this embodiment, the display driving circuit 100 includes a first transistor 110, a storage unit 120, a first light emitting control unit 130, a data writing unit 140, a compensation unit 150 and a voltage control unit 160. The first end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the first power supply 301, and the second end of the first transistor 110 is connected to the second power supply 302 through the display light emitting unit 200. The storage unit 120 includes a first capacitor 121 and a second capacitor 122. The first capacitor 121 is connected to the control end of the first transistor 110 through a first node A, and the second capacitor 122 is connected to the first node A and The first transistor 110 and the second node B between the display light-emitting unit 200, the first light-emitting control unit 130 connects the first light-emitting control line 405, the first power supply 301 and the first end of the first transistor 110, the data writing unit 140 connects the first scan line 401, the data line 404 and the third node C of the first capacitor 121 away from the first node A, the compensation unit 150 at least connects the second scan line 402, the first node A and the fourth node D between the first light-emitting control unit 130 and the first transistor 110, and the voltage control unit 160 connects the second node B and the ground terminal 303. When the display driving circuit 100 is working, the compensation unit 150 compensates for the threshold voltage and the power supply voltage of the driving transistor, thereby improving the display unevenness problem of the display panel.
[0074] See also Figure 1 As shown, the compensation unit 150 includes a second transistor 151, a control end of the second transistor 151 is connected to the second scan line 402, a first end of the second transistor 151 is connected to the fourth node D, and a second end of the second transistor 151 is connected to the first node A. The second scan line 402 signal controls the second transistor 151 to turn on or off.
[0075] The signal of the second scan line 402 controls the second transistor 151 to turn on or off, and controls the first node A and the fourth node D to be turned on or off. The structure is simple, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the display driving circuit 100 and the display panel.
[0076] See also Figure 1 As shown, the compensation unit 150 includes a third transistor 152, a control terminal of the third transistor 152 is connected to the third scan line 403, a first terminal of the third transistor 152 is connected to the third node C, and a second terminal of the third transistor 152 is connected to the fourth node D. The third scan line 403 signal (G3) controls the second transistor 151 to turn on or off.
[0077] When the compensation unit 150 includes the third transistor 152, see Figures 2 to 7 As shown, when the display driving circuit 100 works:
[0078] In the mobility compensation stage T4 (the mobility compensation stage T4 is after the data writing stage T3 and before the light emitting stage T5), the third transistor 152 is controlled to be turned on, so that the charge is discharged from the third node C to the ground terminal 303 through the third transistor 152, the first transistor 110, the second node B, and the voltage control unit 160.
[0079] In the mobility compensation stage T4, the current I0 flowing through the first transistor 110 is:
[0080] I0=1 / 2×μ×k×(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0081] =1 / 2×μ×k×(VA-VB-Vth) 2
[0082] =1 / 2×μ×k×(Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata-Vth) 2
[0083] =1 / 2×μ×k×((C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata) 2 .
[0084] Controlling the time of the mobility compensation stage T4, the potential change of the third node C △Vc=-I0×t / C1, due to charge conservation and capacitive coupling, the voltage VA of the first node A is:
[0085] VA=Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata+(C1 / (C1+C2))×△Vc
[0086] =Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata+(C1 / (C1+C2))×(﹣I0×t / C1)
[0087] =Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata﹣(1 / (C1+C2))×I0×t.
[0088] It can be seen that the larger the electron mobility μ is, the smaller the current I0 flowing through the first transistor 110 is, so that the voltage VA of the first node A is smaller, and the current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is smaller; conversely, the smaller the electron mobility μ is, the larger the current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is, that is, compensation of the electron mobility μ is achieved.
[0089] In some embodiments, the second power source 302 is a ground terminal 303 , that is, the voltage of the second power source 302 is 0.
[0090] In the mobility compensation stage T4, the voltage of the second node B is 0. In the light-emitting stage T5, the voltage control unit 160 is turned off, and the voltage of the second node B becomes the threshold voltage Voled of the display light-emitting unit 200. Since the data writing unit 140 is turned off in the light-emitting stage T5, the third node C has no charge and discharge path, and the voltage difference between the first capacitor 121 and the second capacitor 122 remains unchanged. The voltage VA of the first node A is
[0091] VA=Vth+(C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata﹣(1 / (C1+C2))×I0×t+Voled.
[0092] The current I flowing through the display light emitting unit 200 is:
[0093] I=1 / 2×μ×k×(Vgs-Vth) 2
[0094] =1 / 2×μ×k×(VA-VB-Vth) 2
[0095] =1 / 2×μ×k×((C1 / (C1+C2))×Vdata﹣(1 / (C1+C2))×I0×t) 2 .
[0096] The current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is not affected by the threshold voltage of the first transistor 110, the power supply voltage and the threshold voltage of the display light-emitting unit 200, and the larger the electron mobility μ, the smaller the current I0 in the mobility compensation stage T4, so that the current I flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 remains almost unchanged, that is, the threshold voltage of the first transistor 110, the power supply voltage, the threshold voltage of the display light-emitting unit 200 and the electron mobility are compensated simultaneously.
[0097] See also Figure 1 As shown, the voltage control unit 160 includes a fourth transistor 161 , a control terminal of the fourth transistor 161 is connected to the ground control line, a first terminal of the fourth transistor 161 is connected to the second node B, and a second terminal of the fourth transistor 161 is connected to the ground terminal 303 .
[0098] Whether the second node B is grounded is controlled by a fourth transistor 161 , which has a simple structure and is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing costs of the display driving circuit 100 and the display panel.
[0099] In some embodiments, the voltage control unit 160 also includes a fifth transistor 162, the control end of the fifth transistor 162 is connected to the third scan line 403, the first end of the fifth transistor 162 is connected to the second node B, the second end of the fifth transistor 162 is connected to the ground end 303, and the ground control line is the first scan line 401.
[0100] The voltage control unit 160 includes a fourth transistor 161 and a fifth transistor 162. By adding a transistor to control whether the second node B is grounded, one control signal can be reduced.
[0101] See also Figure 1 As shown, the display driving circuit 100 further includes a second light emitting control unit 170, the second light emitting control unit 170 includes a sixth transistor 171, the control end of the sixth transistor 171 is connected to the second light emitting control line 406, the first end of the sixth transistor 171 is connected to the second node B, and the second end of the sixth transistor 171 is connected to the display light emitting unit 200. The second light emitting control line 406 signal (EM2) controls the opening or closing of the sixth transistor 171.
[0102] Adding a transistor between the driving transistor and the display light emitting unit 200 can further prevent the display light emitting unit 200 from emitting light in the first four stages.
[0103] In some embodiments, the first light-emitting control unit 130 includes a seventh transistor 131, a control end of the seventh transistor 131 is connected to the first light-emitting control line 405, a first end of the seventh transistor 131 is connected to the first power source 301, and a second end of the seventh transistor 131 is connected to the fourth node D. The data writing unit 140 includes an eighth transistor 141, a control end of the eighth transistor 141 is connected to the first scan line 401, a first end of the eighth transistor 141 is connected to the data line 404, and a second end of the eighth transistor 141 is connected to the third node C.
