Description

[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 display driver circuit includes a driver transistor.

[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, the display driving circuit in the present application includes a driving transistor 110, a first light-emitting control unit 120, a storage unit 130, a data writing unit 140, a voltage acquisition unit 150, and a compensation unit 160. The first terminal of the driving transistor 110 is connected to a first power supply via a first node A and the first light-emitting control unit 120, and the first power supply voltage is VDD. The second terminal of the driving transistor 110 is connected to a second power supply via a display light-emitting unit 200, and the second power supply voltage is VSS. The display light-emitting unit 200 includes an organic light-emitting diode. The second power supply voltage VSS can be 0, and the first power supply voltage VDD is greater than the second power supply voltage VSS. The first light-emitting control unit 120 is configured to write the first power supply voltage VDD in response to a first light-emitting control line signal EM1. The first power supply, the driving transistor 110, the display light-emitting unit 200, and the first power supply are then turned on, and the display light-emitting unit 200 emits light.

[0043] The storage unit 130 is connected to the first node A and the control terminal of the driving transistor 110. The storage unit 130 is connected to the data line 12 via the second node B and the data writing unit 140. The data writing unit 140 is used to write the data voltage Vdata in response to the scan line 11 signal Gn. The voltage acquisition unit 150 is used to obtain a constant reference voltage Vref. The storage unit 130 is used to store the data voltage Vdata, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110, and the reference voltage Vref. The compensation unit 160 is connected to the second node B, the first node A, and the voltage acquisition unit 150, and is used to write the reference voltage Vref and compensate the first power supply voltage VDD, as well as the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110. Compensating the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110 indicates that the current Ioled of the light-emitting unit 200 is related to the reference voltage Vref and the data voltage Vdata, and is independent of the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110.

[0044] In some technical solutions, the display driving circuit compensates for the threshold voltage Vth but does not compensate for the power supply voltage. The display unevenness caused by the power supply voltage drop is not improved, which affects the display effect of the display panel.

[0045] In this embodiment, the display driving circuit includes a driving transistor 110, a first light emitting control unit 120, a storage unit 130, a data writing unit 140, a voltage acquisition unit 150, and a compensation unit 160. The first end of the driving transistor 110 is connected to the first power supply through the first node A and the first light emitting control unit 120. The second end of the driving transistor 110 is connected to the second power supply through the display light emitting unit 200. The storage unit 130 is connected to the first node A and the control end of the driving transistor 110. The storage unit 130 is connected to the data through the second node B and the data writing unit 140. Line 12 is connected, the voltage acquisition unit 150 is used to obtain a reference voltage Vref with a constant voltage, and the compensation unit 160 is connected to the second node B, the first node A and the voltage acquisition unit 150, and is used to write the reference voltage Vref and compensate the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110, that is, the current Ioled of the display light-emitting unit 200 is independent of the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110, thereby improving the display unevenness problem caused by the power supply voltage drop and the threshold voltage difference, and improving the display quality of the display panel.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, storage unit 130 includes a first capacitor 131 and a second capacitor 132. First capacitor 131 is connected to the control terminal of driving transistor 110 and first node A, and second capacitor 132 is connected to the control terminal of driving transistor 110 and second node B. Driving transistor 110 may be a P-type thin film transistor. The first terminal, second terminal, and control terminal of driving transistor 110 are its source, drain, and gate, respectively. The data voltage Vdata is less than the reference voltage Vref.

[0047] When the display driver circuit is working:

[0048] In the compensation phase T1, the reference voltage Vref is written to the first node A, the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor 110 is Vref+Vth, the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor 110 is Vref, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is Vth, and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is equal to the voltage of the first capacitor 131, that is, the first capacitor 131 stores the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110;

[0049] In the data writing phase T2, the data voltage Vdata on the data line 12 is written into the second node B. Since the capacitor voltage cannot suddenly change and the first capacitor 131 and the second capacitor 132 are connected in series, the gate voltage of the driving transistor 110 becomes Vg=Vref+Vth+((Vdata-Vref)C2 / (C1+C2)), where C1 is the capacitance of the first capacitor 131 and C2 is the capacitance of the second capacitor 132. The gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 becomes VGS=Vth+((Vdata-Vref)C2 / (C1+C2)).

[0050] In the light-emitting stage T3, the first power supply, the driving transistor 110, the display light-emitting unit 200 and the first power supply are turned on, the display light-emitting unit 200 starts to emit light, and the current flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is Ioled=K(Vgs-Vth)2=K((Vdata-Vref)C2 / (C1+C2))2, where K is a constant coefficient.

[0051] According to the calculation formula of the current Ioled of the display light-emitting unit 200, it can be seen that the current Ioled of the display light-emitting unit 200 is related to the reference voltage Vref and the data voltage Vdata, and is not related to the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110. That is, the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110 are compensated, thereby improving the display unevenness caused by the voltage drop of the first power supply voltage VDD and the difference in the threshold voltage Vth.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, compensation unit 160 includes a first transistor 161 and a second transistor 162. A first terminal of first transistor 161 is connected to first node A, a second terminal of first transistor 161 is connected to second node B, and a control terminal of first transistor 161 is connected to a first signal line, where the signal of first signal line is S1. A first terminal of second transistor 162 is connected to voltage acquisition unit 150, a second terminal of second transistor 162 is connected to first node A, and a control terminal of second transistor 162 is connected to another independent signal line. First transistor 161 and second transistor 162 can both be N-type thin film transistors.

[0053] When the display driving circuit is working: in the compensation stage T1, the first signal line signal S1 and the signal line signal controlling the second transistor 162 are high-level signals, the first transistor 161 and the second transistor 162 are both turned on, the reference voltage Vref is written to the first node A, the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor 110 is Vref+Vth, the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor 110 is Vref, and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is Vth.

[0054] It should be noted that the first transistor 161 can be, but is not limited to, an N-type thin film transistor. The first transistor 161 can also be a P-type thin film transistor, depending on the specific situation. The second transistor 162 can be, but is not limited to, an N-type thin film transistor. The second transistor 162 can also be a P-type thin film transistor, depending on the specific situation.

[0055] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the voltage acquisition unit 150 includes a resistor 151. A first end of the resistor 151 is connected to the constant current source Idd and the first end of the second transistor 162. A second end of the resistor 151 is connected to a ground terminal, and the voltage of the ground terminal can be 0. The current of the constant current source Idd is not shunted, the resistance value of the resistor 151 is constant, and the voltage at the first end of the resistor 151 can be used as a constant voltage reference voltage Vref.

[0056] The first power supply is used to power the display light-emitting unit 200, and the reference voltage Vref is used to charge the first capacitor 131 and the second capacitor 132. The reference voltage Vref has a small load, which is conducive to stabilizing the reference voltage Vref and avoiding uneven display caused by unstable reference voltage Vref.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first light-emission control unit 120 includes a third transistor 121. A first terminal of the third transistor 121 is connected to the first power supply, a second terminal of the third transistor 121 is connected to the first node A, and a control terminal of the third transistor 121 is connected to a first light-emission control line. The first light-emission control line signal is EM1. The third transistor 121 can be a P-type thin-film transistor, and the second transistor 162 can be an N-type thin-film transistor. The control terminal of the second transistor 162 is connected to the first light-emission control line. In other words, the third transistor 121 and the second transistor 162 share the first light-emission control line signal EM1 for control.

[0058] When the display driving circuit is working: in the compensation stage T1, the first signal line signal S1 and the first light-emitting control line signal EM1 are high-level signals, the first transistor 161 and the second transistor 162 are both turned on, the third transistor 121 is turned off, the reference voltage Vref is written to the first node A, the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor 110 is Vref+Vth, the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor 110 is Vref, and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is Vth.

[0059] The third transistor 121 and the second transistor 162 can share a control signal, which can reduce the number of control signals and signal line routing.

[0060] It should be noted that the third transistor 121 can be a P thin film transistor, and the second transistor 162 can be an N thin film transistor, but is not limited thereto. The third transistor 121 can be an N thin film transistor, and the second transistor 162 can be a P thin film transistor, depending on the specific situation.

[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, compensation unit 160 further includes a fourth transistor 163. A first terminal of fourth transistor 163 is connected to the control terminal of driving transistor 110, and a second terminal of fourth transistor 163 is connected to the second terminal of driving transistor 110. The control terminal of fourth transistor 163 can be connected to a second signal line and controlled by second signal line signal S2. Fourth transistor 163 is turned on during compensation phase T1 and turned off during data writing phase T2 and light emission phase T3. Fourth transistor 163 can be a P-type thin film transistor.

[0062] The fourth transistor 163 is turned on in the compensation phase T1 , and the gate and drain of the driving transistor 110 are turned on by the fourth transistor 163 , which helps to maintain the gate and source voltages of the driving transistor 110 .

[0063] It should be noted that the fourth transistor 163 may be a P-type thin film transistor, but is not limited thereto. The fourth transistor 163 may be an N-type thin film transistor, depending on the specific situation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the data write unit 140 includes a fifth transistor 141, a first terminal of the fifth transistor 141 being connected to the data line 12, a second terminal of the fifth transistor 141 being connected to the second node B, and a control terminal of the fifth transistor 141 being connected to the scan line 11. The fifth transistor 141 may be a P-type thin film transistor. The display drive circuit also includes a second light emission control unit 170, which includes a sixth transistor 171. A first terminal of the sixth transistor 171 is connected to the second terminal of the drive transistor 110, and a second terminal of the sixth transistor 171 is connected to the display light emission unit 200. The sixth transistor 171 may be a P-type thin film transistor, a control terminal of the sixth transistor 171 being connected to the second light emission control line and controlled by the second light emission control line signal EM2. It should be understood that the sixth transistor 171 may also be an N-type thin film transistor.

[0065] The third transistor 121 , the fourth transistor 163 , the fifth transistor 141 , the sixth transistor 171 and the driving transistor 110 are all P-type thin film transistors, and the first transistor 161 and the second transistor 162 are N-type thin film transistors.

[0066] When the display driver circuit is working:

[0067] In the compensation phase T1, the second signal line signal S2 and the second light-emitting control signal EM2 are low-level signals, the first signal line signal S1, the scan line 11 signal Gn, and the first light-emitting control line signal EM1 are high-level signals, the third transistor 121 and the fifth transistor 141 are turned off, the first transistor 161, the second transistor 162, the fourth transistor 163, and the sixth transistor 171 are turned on, the gate and the drain of the driving transistor 110 are short-circuited by the fourth transistor 163, the sixth transistor 171 is turned on, the residual charge of the storage unit 130 is released to the second power supply, the first transistor 161 and the second transistor 162 are turned on, the reference voltage Vref is written to the first node A, the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor 110 is Vref+Vth, the source voltage Vs of the driving transistor 110 is Vref, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is Vth, and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is equal to the voltage of the first capacitor 131, that is, the first capacitor 131 stores the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110;

[0068] In the data writing phase T2, the first signal line signal S1 and the scan line 11 signal Gn are low-level signals, the second signal line signal S2, the first light-emitting control line signal EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal EM2 are high-level signals, the second transistor 162 and the fifth transistor 141 are turned on, the first transistor 161, the third transistor 121, the fourth transistor 163 and the sixth transistor 171 are turned off, and the data voltage Vdata on the data line 12 is written into the second node B. Since the voltages of the first capacitor 131 and the second capacitor 132 cannot change suddenly and the first capacitor 131 and the second capacitor 132 are connected in series, the gate voltage Vg of the driving transistor 110 becomes Vg=Vref+Vth+((Vdata-Vref)C2 / (C1+C2)), and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs of the driving transistor 110 is Vth+((Vdata-Vref)C2 / (C1+C2));

[0069] In the light-emitting stage T3, the first signal line signal S1, the first light-emitting control line signal EM1 and the second light-emitting control signal EM2 are low-level signals, the second signal line signal S2 and the scan line 11 signal Gn are high-level signals, the first transistor 161, the second transistor 162, the fourth transistor 163 and the fifth transistor 141 are turned off, the third transistor 121, the sixth transistor 171 and the driving transistor 110 are turned on, the first power supply, the driving transistor 110, the display light-emitting unit 200 and the first power supply are turned on, and the display light-emitting unit 200 starts to emit light.

[0070] In some embodiments, the capacitance of the second capacitor 132 is smaller than the capacitance of the first capacitor 131 .

[0071] The second capacitor 132 is used to maintain the driving transistor 110 turned on. The capacitance of the second capacitor 132 is relatively larger, which can make the display light-emitting unit 200 emit light stably in the light-emitting stage T3; the first capacitor 131 is used to balance the voltage of the first capacitor 131. The capacitance of the second capacitor 132 is relatively smaller, which can make the second capacitor 132 charge faster and consume less power.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first transistor 161 and the fourth transistor 163 are both P-type transistors, and the control terminal of the fourth transistor 163 is connected to the first signal line. That is, the first transistor 161 and the fourth transistor 163 share the first signal line signal S1 for control. The timing of the first signal line signal S1 adopts the timing of the second signal line signal S2.

[0082] The display panel includes a display driving circuit 100, which includes a driving transistor 110, a first light emitting control unit 120, a storage unit 130, a data writing unit 140, a voltage acquiring unit 150, and a compensation unit 160. The first end of the driving transistor 110 is connected to the first power supply through the first node A and the first light emitting control unit 120, the second end of the driving transistor 110 is connected to the second power supply through the display light emitting unit 200, the storage unit 130 is connected to the first node A and the control end of the driving transistor 110, and the storage unit 130 is connected to the data writing unit 140 through the second node B. 0 is connected to the data line 12, the voltage acquisition unit 150 is used to obtain a reference voltage Vref with a constant voltage, and the compensation unit 160 is connected to the second node B, the first node A and the voltage acquisition unit 150, and is used to write the reference voltage Vref and compensate the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110. Through compensation, the influence of the first power supply voltage VDD and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor 110 on the current flowing through the display light-emitting unit 200 is eliminated, the display unevenness problem caused by the power supply voltage drop and the threshold voltage difference is improved, and the display quality of the display panel is improved.

[0083] In some embodiments, the display panel includes multiple rows of scan lines 11 and multiple rows of data lines 12 arranged in an array. The display driver circuit 100 corresponds to the intersection of the scan lines 11 and the data lines 12, and the display driver circuit 100 is connected to the scan lines 11 in the row and the data lines 12 in the column. The display light-emitting unit 200 is connected to the display driver circuit 100 in a one-to-one correspondence. The duration of the compensation phase T1, the data writing phase T2, and the light-emitting phase T3 can be set to 1H (1H = (1 / Freq-t) / m, where Freq is the frequency, t is the frame blanking period, and m is the number of scan lines 11).

[0084] The third transistor 121 is a P-type transistor, and the second transistor 162 is an N-type transistor. The control terminals of the third transistor 121 and the second transistor 162 are both connected to the first light-emitting control line and controlled by the first light-emitting control line signal EM1. Since the first light-emitting control line signal EM1 is 1H later than the scanning line 11 signal Gn, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the first light emitting control line of the nth row can be the scan line 11 of the n-1th row, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2. The fourth transistor 163 and the first transistor 161 are both P-type transistors. The control end of the fourth transistor 163 and the control end of the first transistor 161 are both connected to the first signal line and controlled by the first signal line signal S1. Since the first light emitting control line signal S1 is 1H earlier than the scan line 11 signal Gn, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the first signal line in the nth row may be the scan line 11 in the (n+1)th row, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0085] The first light emitting control line in the nth row can be the scan line 11 in the n-1th row, and the first signal line in the nth row can be the scan line 11 in the n+1th row. This design can reduce the number of control signals and signal line routing.
