[0068] The present inventors have found that, in some embodiments, the same anode initialization voltage is configured for different color light emitting elements in the pixel driving circuit, which results in a color shift when the display panel switches from a black picture to a white picture in the first frame, and thus, the human eye perceives a ghosting color shift problem.
[0069] Embodiments of the present application provide a pixel driving circuit. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided by embodiments of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 The pixel driving circuit includes at least:
[0070] A first pixel driving unit 100 includes a first light emitting element 120 having a first anode;
[0071] A second pixel driving unit 400 includes a second light emitting element 420 having a second anode;
[0072] A third pixel driving unit 300 includes a third light emitting element 320 having a third anode;
[0073] The first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420, and the third light emitting element 320 have different light emitting colors, the first anode is configured with a first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode is configured with a second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third anode is configured with a third anode initialization signal B_Vref, and the voltage values of at least two of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref are different.
[0074] In this way, the anode initialization voltage can be matched to the light emitting elements of different colors, so that the light emitting elements have the same light-on speed, which is beneficial to improve the phenomenon that the chroma deviates from the standard when the first frame is switched from a black picture to a white picture, improve the trailing color deviation, and thus improve the display effect.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the first anode initialization signal R_Vref is different from the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref.
[0076] In another embodiment of the present application, optionally, the second anode initialization signal G_Vref is different from the first anode initialization signal R_Vref and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref.
[0077] In another embodiment of the present application, optionally, the third anode initialization signal B_Vref is different from the first anode initialization signal R_Vref and the second anode initialization signal G_Vref.
[0078] In another embodiment of the present application, optionally, the voltage values of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref are different from each other.
[0079] In actual application, the voltage values of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref can be determined according to the light-on voltages of the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320. The specific principle is as follows:
[0080] For example, the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320 are red light emitting element R, green light emitting element G and blue light emitting element B respectively, the light-on voltage of the red light emitting element R is V_R, the light-on voltage of the green light emitting element G is V_G, the light-on voltage of the blue light emitting element B is V_B, and V_R>V_G>V_B. That is, the light-on voltage of the red light emitting element R is greater than that of the green light emitting element G, and the light-on voltage of the green light emitting element G is greater than that of the blue light emitting element B.
[0081] In one embodiment, the whole display panel adopts the same anode initialization voltage Vref_COM, so in the light-emitting stage, the red light-emitting element R is lit after the voltage is raised by V_R-Vref_COM, the green light-emitting element G is lit after the voltage is raised by V_G-Vref_COM, and the blue light-emitting element B is lit after the voltage is raised by V_B-Vref_COM. Since V_R>V_G>V_B, V_R-Vref_COM>V_G-Vref_COM>V_B-Vref_COM. Under the action of the driving current, the blue light-emitting element B is lit first, the green light-emitting element G is lit second, and the red light-emitting element R is lit last, thus the problem of chromaticity deviation from the specification occurs.
[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the anode initialization voltages of the light-emitting elements of different colors are different, specifically, the red light-emitting element R is written with the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the green light-emitting element G is written with the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the blue light-emitting element B is written with the third anode initialization signal B_Vref, and R_Vref>G_Vref>B_Vref. Then in the light-emitting stage, the red light-emitting element R is lit after the voltage is raised by V_R-R_Vref, the green light-emitting element G is lit after the voltage is raised by V_G-G_Vref, and the blue light-emitting element B is lit after the voltage is raised by V_B-B_Vref. Since V_R>V_G>V_B and R_Vref>G_Vref>B_Vref, compared with the related art, V_R-R_Vref, V_G-G_Vref, and V_B-B_Vref are closer, and by selecting appropriate R_Vref, G_Vref, and B_Vref, V_R-R_Vref, V_G-G_Vref, and V_B-B_Vref can be made to be equal. Under the action of the driving current, the lighting time of the blue light-emitting element B, the green light-emitting element G, and the red light-emitting element R tends to be equal, thus the problem of chromaticity deviation from the specification is improved, the color cast is improved, and the display effect is improved.
[0083] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the starting light-emitting voltage of the red light-emitting element R is greater than that of the green light-emitting element G, and the starting light-emitting voltage of the green light-emitting element G is greater than that of the blue light-emitting element B, which is used as an example for illustration, but is not a limitation of the present application. In actual application, the starting light-emitting voltage of the light-emitting element is also related to the capacitance of the light-emitting element, the material of the device, and other factors, and the size relationship of the starting light-emitting voltage of each light-emitting element cannot be generalized. However, the setting mode of the light-emitting element of the same color is usually the same, so the starting light-emitting voltage of the light-emitting element of the same color is the same.
[0084] On the basis of the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also provide an optimized technical solution to reduce the power consumption of the driving chip. Specifically:
[0085] When the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320 display at the first brightness, the first anode is configured with the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode is configured with the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third anode is configured with the third anode initialization signal B_Vref.
[0086] When the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320 display at the second brightness, the first anode, the second anode and the third anode are configured with a common initialization signal, the first brightness is less than the second brightness, and the voltage value of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the voltage value of the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and the voltage value of the third anode initialization signal B_Vref are all greater than the voltage value of the common initialization signal.
[0087] Still taking the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320 as the red light emitting element R, the green light emitting element G and the blue light emitting element B respectively as an example, the driving method of the embodiment of the application is described:
[0088] When displaying the second brightness (high brightness), the first anode, the second anode and the third anode are configured with a common initialization signal Vref_COM, the first pixel driving unit 100 initializes the anode of the first light emitting element 120 with the common initialization voltage Vref_COM, the second pixel driving unit 400 initializes the anode of the second light emitting element 420 with the common initialization voltage Vref_COM, and the third pixel driving unit 300 initializes the anode of the third light emitting element 320 with the common initialization voltage Vref_COM. As known from the foregoing analysis, under the action of the driving current, the blue light emitting element B is first lighted, followed by the green light emitting element G, and finally the red light emitting element R, and there will be a problem of chroma deviation out of specification. However, when displaying high brightness, the driving current is large, and the charging speed of the anode voltage of each light emitting element 120 is very fast, and the starting speed of the red light emitting element R, the green light emitting element G and the blue light emitting element B is also very fast, and the human eye cannot perceive the trailing color deviation caused by the difference in anode charging rate. At the same time, the driving chip does not need to provide three different anode initialization voltages, thus, it is beneficial to reduce the power consumption of the driving chip.
[0089] And the embodiment of the present application sets the voltage value of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the voltage value of the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and the voltage value of the third anode initialization signal B_Vref all greater than the voltage value of the common initialization signal, shortens the difference between the initialization voltage and the starting voltage of the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320, is beneficial to shorten the time of each light emitting element from the initialization voltage to the starting voltage, and further improves the display effect.
[0090] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the first light emitting element 120 has a first cathode, the second light emitting element 420 has a second cathode, and the third light emitting element 320 has a third cathode, and the first cathode, the second cathode and the third cathode are configured with a cathode signal, and the cathode signal is multiplexed as a common initialization signal Vref_COM. In this way, the driving chip can save the setting of the common initialization signal Vref_COM, thereby reducing the power consumption.
[0091] In addition, when displaying the second brightness (high brightness), only the cathode signal is used to provide the common initialization signal Vref_COM, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving chip. Further, in an embodiment, in order to reduce the difference in starting speed when displaying low brightness, the anode initialization voltage is a voltage value adjustable according to brightness. Specifically, when displaying high brightness, the anode initialization voltage is low; when displaying low brightness, the anode initialization voltage is high. In this way, to some extent, the problem of low brightness trailing color cast can be improved, but the improvement effect is not good; in addition, the cathode voltage in this embodiment cannot be multiplexed as the anode initialization voltage. Therefore, compared with this embodiment, the embodiment of the present application not only can improve the problem of low brightness trailing color cast, but also can reduce the power consumption of the driving chip.
[0092] When displaying the first brightness (low brightness), the first anode is configured with the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second anode is configured with the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third anode is configured with the third anode initialization signal B_Vref. Under the action of the driving current, the lighting time of the blue light emitting element B, the green light emitting element G and the red light emitting element R tends to be equal, thereby improving the problem of chroma deviation out of specification, improving trailing color cast and improving display effect.
[0093] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, the first cathode is configured with a first cathode signal R_ELVSS, the second cathode is configured with a second cathode signal G_ELVSS, and the third cathode is configured with a third cathode signal B_ELVSS. Wherein:
[0094] The voltage values of at least two of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS, the second cathode signal G_ELVSS and the third cathode signal B_ELVSS are different.
[0095] As a supplement to the foregoing embodiments, the embodiment of the present application sets the voltage values of at least two of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS, the second cathode signal G_ELVSS and the third cathode signal B_ELVSS to be different, so as to compensate for the voltage difference existing in the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320, thereby balancing the efficiencies of the first pixel driving unit 100, the second pixel driving unit 400 and the third pixel driving unit 300 and improving the uniformity of the display panel.
[0096] On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, optionally, the voltage of the second cathode signal G_ELVSS is different from the voltages of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS and the third cathode signal B_ELVSS; or the voltage of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS is different from the voltages of the second cathode signal G_ELVSS and the third cathode signal B_ELVSS; or the voltage of the third cathode signal B_ELVSS is different from the voltages of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS and the second cathode signal G_ELVSS; or the voltage values of the first cathode signal R_ELVSS, the second cathode signal G_ELVSS and the third cathode signal B_ELVSS are all different.
[0097] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, optionally, the first pixel driving unit 100 has a first anode initialization module 110, the first anode initialization signal R_Vref is written to the first anode of the first light emitting element 120 through the first anode initialization module 110; the second anode initialization signal G_Vref is written to the first anode of the second light emitting element 420 through the second anode initialization module 410; and the third anode initialization signal B_Vref is written to the first anode of the third light emitting element 320 through the third anode initialization module 310.

[0131] In the initialization stage, the light emitting control signal EM, the second scan signal Scan2 and the third scan signal Scan3 are all high level, and the first scan signal Scan1 is low level. The light emitting control signal EM controls the first light emitting control transistor T5 and the second light emitting control transistor T6 to be turned off; the second scan signal Scan2 controls the data writing transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T3 to be turned off; and the third scan signal Scan3 controls the anode initialization transistor T7 to be turned off. The first scan signal Scan1 controls the gate initialization transistor T4 to be turned on, and the gate initialization signal Vrefn initializes the gate G of the driving transistor T1, so as to ensure that the driving transistor T1 is in the turned-on state in the data writing stage.
[0132] In the data writing stage, the light emitting control signal EM, the first scan signal Scan1 and the third scan signal Scan3 are high level, and the second scan signal Scan2 is low level. The light emitting control signal EM controls the first light emitting control transistor T5 and the second light emitting control transistor T6 to be off; the first scan signal Scan1 controls the gate initialization transistor T4 to be off; the third scan signal Scan3 controls the anode initialization transistor T7 to be on.

[0134] In the light emitting stage, the first scan signal Scan1, the second scan signal Scan2 and the third scan signal Scan3 are high level. The light emitting control signal EM is low level or presents periodic change, which is not limited in the present application. The first scan signal Scan1 controls the gate initialization transistor T4 to be off; the second scan signal Scan2 controls the data writing transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T3 to be off; the third scan signal Scan3 controls the anode initialization transistor T7 to be off.

[0136] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, optionally, the switch circuit 200 is located in the frame area of the display panel, for example, the lower frame area, so as to reduce the wiring difficulty of the display area.
[0137] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the film layer structure of the display panel is further limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0138] Figure 7 A structure diagram of a display panel provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the following figure, Figure 8 For Figure 7 The first pixel driving unit is shown in the cross-sectional structure along A-B in the figure. It should be noted that the first pixel driving unit 100, the second pixel driving unit 200 and the third pixel driving unit 300 are arranged in the same way, Figure 8 The structure of the first pixel driving unit 100 is taken as an example for illustration. Referring to Figure 7 And Figure 8 Optionally, the display panel further comprises:
[0139] The light emitting functional layer, the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 (not shown in the figure) and the third light emitting element 320 (not shown in the figure) are arranged in the light emitting functional layer; Figure 8 Figure 8 The isolation layer is used to separate the first light emitting element 120, the second light emitting element 420 and the third light emitting element 320, and the isolation layer at least comprises a first initial signal isolation column 311, a second initial signal isolation column (not shown in the figure) and a third initial signal isolation column (not shown in the figure);
[0140] The first initial signal isolation column 311 is coupled with the first anode in the first pixel driving unit 100 and is configured with the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second initial signal isolation column is coupled with the second anode in the second pixel driving unit 400 and is configured with the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third initial signal isolation column is coupled with the third anode in the third pixel driving unit 300 and is configured with the third anode initialization signal B_Vref. Figure 8 Figure 8
[0141] The first initial signal isolation column 311 is coupled with the first anode in the first pixel driving unit 100 and is configured with the first anode initialization signal R_Vref, the second initial signal isolation column is coupled with the second anode in the second pixel driving unit 400 and is configured with the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, and the third initial signal isolation column is coupled with the third anode in the third pixel driving unit 300 and is configured with the third anode initialization signal B_Vref.
[0142] In this embodiment of the invention, the first initial signal isolation pillar 311 of the isolation pillar layer carries the first anode initialization signal R_Vref in the film structure, which helps to reduce the resistance of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref and improve the uniformity of the first anode initialization signal R_Vref received by the first pixel driving unit 100. Similarly, the second initial signal isolation pillar of the isolation pillar layer carries the second anode initialization signal G_Vref, which helps to reduce the resistance of the second anode initialization signal G_Vref and improve the uniformity of the second anode initialization signal G_Vref received by the second pixel driving unit 400. The third initial signal isolation pillar of the isolation pillar layer carries the third anode initialization signal B_Vref, which helps to reduce the resistance of the third anode initialization signal B_Vref and improve the uniformity of the third anode initialization signal B_Vref received by the third pixel driving unit 300. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention further improves the display uniformity of the display panel.
[0143] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the display panel further includes a cathode layer, which is disposed on one side of the light-emitting functional layer, and the isolation layer further includes a first cathode isolation pillar 321 and a second cathode isolation pillar ( Figure 8 (not shown in the image) and the third cathode isolation column ( Figure 8 (not shown in the image), where:
[0144] The first light-emitting element 120 has a first cathode, the second light-emitting element 420 has a second cathode, and the third light-emitting element 320 has a third cathode. The first, second, and third cathodes are electrically isolated and disposed in a cathode layer. A first cathode isolation post 321 is coupled to the first cathode and configured with a first cathode signal, a second cathode isolation post is coupled to the second cathode and configured with a second cathode signal, and a third cathode isolation post is coupled to the third cathode and configured with a third cathode signal. This arrangement facilitates setting different voltage values for at least two of the first, second, and third cathode signals, compensating for voltage differences among the first, second, and third light-emitting elements, thereby balancing the efficiency of the first pixel driving unit 100, the second pixel driving unit 400, and the third pixel driving unit 300, and improving the uniformity of the display panel.
[0145] It should be understood that the above-mentioned first initial signal isolation column 311, the second initial signal isolation column and the third initial signal isolation column have the function of cutting off the first light emitting element, the second light emitting element and the third light emitting element on the one hand, and carrying the corresponding anode initialization signal on the other hand; correspondingly, the first cathode isolation column 321, the second cathode isolation column and the third cathode isolation column have the function of cutting off the first light emitting element, the second light emitting element and the third light emitting element on the one hand, and carrying the corresponding cathode signal on the other hand.
[0146] Continuing to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the display panel further includes other film layers, for example, an active layer, a first metal layer, a second metal layer, a third metal layer and an anode metal layer. Insulating layers (for example, a first insulating layer 41, a second insulating layer 42, a third insulating layer 43 and a fourth insulating layer 44) are arranged between the film layers.
[0147] Taking the first pixel driving unit as an example, the first metal layer is provided with a gate 13 of a first anode initialization transistor; the active layer is provided with a semiconductor 12 of the first anode initialization transistor; the third metal layer is provided with a plate 14 of a capacitor; the fourth metal layer is provided with a first end 15 and a second end 16 of the first anode initialization transistor, and the first end 15 and the second end 16 are respectively electrically connected with the semiconductor 12.
[0148] Among them, the first anode initialization transistor is a transistor in the first anode initialization module 110, and the first anode initialization module 110 exemplarily includes only the anode initialization transistor, and the first anode initialization transistor is denoted by reference numeral 110 below.
[0149] The anode metal layer is provided with an anode 21 of the first light emitting element 120, and the anode 21 is further provided with a light emitting layer 22 and a cathode 23 of the first light emitting element 120. The isolation column layer is provided with a first initial signal isolation column 31, the first initial signal isolation column 31 can conduct electricity, the first initial signal isolation column 31 and the first end 15 of the first anode initialization transistor 110 are transmembrane electrically connected; the second end 16 of the first anode initialization transistor 110 is electrically connected with the anode 21 of the first light emitting element 120.
[0150] The first anode initialization signal R_Vref of the first light emitting element 120 is transmitted by the first initial signal isolation column 31.
[0151] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, the first end of the first anode initialization transistor is electrically connected with the first isolation column, and the second end is electrically connected with the anode of the first light emitting element. This is not a limitation of the present application. In other embodiments, the first anode initialization module can further include other transistors, and the other transistors are configured to assist the first anode initialization transistor to initialize the anode of the light emitting element. For example, the other transistors are further arranged between the first anode initialization transistor and the anode of the light emitting element.
[0152] Continuing to refer to Figure 8 On the basis of the above embodiments, the first metal layer can further have a gate 18 of a first drive transistor; the active layer can have a semiconductor 17 of the first drive transistor; the fourth metal layer can have a first end 19 and a second end 20 of the first drive transistor, and the first end 19 and the second end 20 are respectively electrically connected with the semiconductor 12. The capacitor plate 14 and the gate 18 of the first drive transistor are arranged in an overlapping manner to form a storage capacitor. The first drive transistor is a transistor in the first drive module 130. The first drive module 130 can include only the first drive transistor. The first drive transistor is denoted by reference numeral 130. The anode 21 is electrically connected with the first end 19 of the first drive transistor. The drive current generated by the first drive transistor is transmitted to the anode 21. Under the action of the voltage of the anode 21 and the voltage of the cathode 23, the light emitting layer 22 emits light.
[0153] On the basis of the above embodiments, the first initial signal isolation column 311, the second initial signal isolation column, the third initial signal isolation column, the first cathode isolation column 321, the second cathode isolation column, and the third cathode isolation column can be of an integrated structure. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the isolation columns can be a trapezoid with the upper side larger than the lower side. The upper side larger than the lower side means that the side of the trapezoid far from the first metal layer is the lower base, and the side of the trapezoid close to the first metal layer is the upper base. In this way, the preparation of the isolation columns is facilitated. Preferably, the first initial signal isolation column 311, the second initial signal isolation column, the third initial signal isolation column, the first cathode isolation column 321, the second cathode isolation column, and the third cathode isolation column can be prepared by the same process. Alternatively, the first gate isolation column 311, the second gate isolation column, the third gate isolation column, the first cathode isolation column 32, the second cathode isolation column, and the third cathode isolation column can also be of a layered structure, which is not limited in the present application.
[0154] The first cathode isolation column 321 is used to realize full-area evaporation of the light emitting material and to carry the cathode voltage of the first light emitting element 120. For example, after the array film layer provided with the transistors is prepared, an anode metal layer is formed on the array film layer, and the anode 21 is patterned to be electrically connected with the second end 16 of the initial transistor 110 and the first end 19 of the driving transistor 130; the sixth insulating layer 52 (i.e. the pixel definition layer) and the isolation column layer are prepared on the anode layer, the isolation column layer is patterned to form the first initial signal isolation column 31 and the first cathode isolation column 321 which are large at the top and small at the bottom; the sixth insulating layer 52 (i.e. the pixel definition layer) is patterned to form a pixel opening on the anode 21, and the first light emitting material is evaporated in the pixel opening; and then the first cathode material is evaporated on the first light emitting material.
[0155] The first light emitting material and the first cathode material are evaporated by full-layer evaporation, and the first light emitting material and the first cathode material are evaporated in each pixel opening (including the pixel openings corresponding to the first pixel driving unit 100, the second pixel driving unit 400 and the third pixel driving unit 300). Since the first cathode isolation column 321 is large at the top and small at the bottom, the materials evaporated in the adjacent two pixel openings are disconnected by the first cathode isolation column 321, and the edge part of the cathode 23 is electrically connected with the first cathode isolation column 32. Finally, the first light emitting material and the first cathode material in the pixel openings corresponding to the second pixel driving unit 400 and the third pixel driving unit 300 are removed. Thus, the evaporation of the first light emitting material and the first cathode material is completed.
[0156] The process of evaporating the light emitting material and the cathode material in the pixel openings of the second pixel driving unit 400 and the third pixel driving unit 300 is similar, and will not be described herein.
[0157] As can be seen, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application can use the full-layer evaporation process when evaporating the light emitting element, and does not need to use the fine mask plate, which is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing cost of the display panel. In addition, in the related art, the support column needs to be provided to support the fine mask plate, and the embodiment of the present application does not need to use the fine mask plate, so the first initial signal isolation column 311 and the first cathode isolation column 321 do not need to support the fine mask plate, and therefore the size and position of the first initial signal isolation column 311 and the first cathode isolation column 321 can be adjusted arbitrarily as needed.
[0158] Continuing to refer to Figure 8 In the above embodiments, the insulating layer between the film layers can be provided in various ways, which will be described in detail below, but is not limited to the present application.
[0159] Continuing to refer to Figure 8In the above embodiments, the insulating layer between the film layers can be arranged in various ways, which will be described in detail below, but are not intended to limit the present application.
[0160] In an embodiment, a first insulating layer 41, which can also be referred to as a gate insulating layer, is arranged between the active layer and the first metal layer, forming an insulating layer part of the anode initialization transistor 110 and the driving transistor 130.
