Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of display technology, and in particular relates to a pixel display driving circuit and a display panel. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have gradually become a highly sought-after display technology, with an increasing number of display products now adopting OLEDs as their display screens. Compared to traditional liquid crystal display (LCD) display technology, OLEDs are self-luminous and do not require an additional backlight module, resulting in very low energy consumption. OLEDs also offer many advantages, including high brightness, high contrast, wide viewing angles, fast response speeds, and simple manufacturing processes. They are currently widely used in various display panels and have broad application prospects.

[0003] Currently, OLEDs are driven by thin-film field-effect transistors (TFTs). The RC delay generated by the parasitic parameters of the TFT devices in the circuit causes the rising and falling edges of the output pulse to lengthen, severely impacting the driving capability of the output pulses and, consequently, the accuracy of the OLED's light emission. To fundamentally reduce the impact of RC delay, it is necessary to address the TFT manufacturing process and materials. This involves developing high-conductivity interconnect materials for the TFT's metal gate and source / drain electrodes to reduce parasitic resistance. Alternatively, the overlap area between the source / drain and gate electrodes in the TFT can be reduced to minimize the parasitic capacitance of the TFT itself. Furthermore, optimization can be performed at the TFT layout design level to reduce the contact resistance in the metal-to-metal contact holes or the parasitic capacitance between different metal layers, thereby reducing the signal delay caused by parasitic RC. However, these TFT manufacturing process and material improvements are extremely complex.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a pixel display driving circuit to enhance the driving capability of the row scanning driving circuit, thereby reducing the influence of the parasitic parameter RC on the signal and improving the accuracy of data voltage transmission.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0050] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a pixel display driving circuit provided by a preferred embodiment of the present application. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to this embodiment are shown, which are described in detail as follows:

[0051] The pixel display driving circuit includes a compensation circuit 11 and a pixel driving circuit 12 .

[0052] The compensation circuit 11 is configured to receive the data voltage Dm, compare the data voltage Dm with at least one reference voltage Vrefi, determine the target voltage range of the data voltage Dm according to the comparison result, and output a compensation DC current according to the target voltage range.

[0053] The pixel driving circuit 12 is connected to the compensation circuit 11 and is configured to output a driving current to the light emitting element according to the data voltage Dm and the compensation DC power in response to the input of the selection signal Sn, so as to light up the light emitting element.

[0054] The current of the compensation DC power is negatively correlated with the value in the target voltage range.

[0055] It should be noted that the selection signal Sn and the data voltage Dm can be provided by a digital circuit.

[0056] By way of example and not limitation, the at least one reference voltage Vrefi includes a first reference voltage Vref1 to an nth reference voltage Vrefn, which decrease in sequence. The first voltage interval is defined as a range greater than or equal to the first reference voltage Vref1, the second voltage interval is defined as a range less than the first reference voltage Vref1 and greater than or equal to the second reference voltage Vref2, and the third voltage interval is defined as a range less than the second reference voltage Vref2 and greater than or equal to the third reference voltage Vref3. Similarly, the nth voltage interval is defined as a range less than the n-1th reference voltage Vrefn-1 and greater than or equal to the nth reference voltage Vrefn, and the n+1th voltage interval is defined as a range less than the nth reference voltage Vrefn. The target voltage interval is one of the first to n+1th voltage intervals. When the data voltage Dm is in the first voltage interval, the compensation DC current is minimum; when the data voltage Dm is in the N+1 voltage interval, the compensation DC current is maximum. That is, as the value of the voltage interval increases, the current of the compensation DC current decreases. n is a positive integer, and i is a positive integer less than or equal to n.

[0057] By making the current of the compensation DC negatively correlated with the value in the target voltage range, the data voltage Dm is negatively correlated with the current of the compensation DC. On the rising edge, as the data voltage Dm increases, the compensation DC decreases; on the falling edge, the data voltage Dm decreases and the compensation DC increases. While accelerating the charging and discharging of the RC circuit, the accuracy of the current compensation of the pixel display driving circuit is improved, and the stability of the OLED light emitting brightness is improved.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the compensation circuit 11 includes n comparators Ui, n−1 P-type switching transistors Pi, n N-type switching transistors Ni, n−1 switching elements Ki and n compensation modules 111 .

[0059] The positive input terminal of the first comparator U1 and the first terminals of the n-1 P-type switch tubes Pi serve as the data voltage input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to connect the data voltage Dm; the negative input terminal of the i-th comparator Ui serves as the i-th reference voltage Vrefi input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to connect the i-th reference voltage Vrefi.

[0060] The output end of the i+1th comparator Ui+1 is connected to the control end of the i+1th P-type switching tube Pi+1, the control end of the i+1th N-type switching tube Ni+1, and the control end of the i-th switching element Ki; the output end of the first comparator U1 is connected to the control end of the first P-type switching tube P1 and the control end of the first N-type switching tube N1.

[0061] The first terminals of the n N-type switching transistors Ni also serve as the data voltage input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to receive the data voltage Dm.

[0062] The second ends of the n N-type switching transistors Ni are commonly connected to the input end of the first compensation module 111 .

[0063] The i-th switching element Ki is connected between the i-th compensation module 111 and the (i+1)-th compensation module 111 .

[0064] The compensation module 111 amplifies the current of the input data voltage Dm to output the amplified data voltage Dm.

[0065] Wherein, i is a positive integer less than n, and n is a positive integer.

[0066] For example, when the data voltage Dm is greater than or equal to the first reference voltage Vref1, the first comparator U1 outputs a high-level signal, turning on the first N-type switch N1 and turning off the first P-type switch P1; the first compensation module 111 operates according to the data voltage Dm transmitted by the first N-type switch N1, and outputs the data voltage Dm2 after current amplification; the second comparator U2 to the n-th comparator Un output low-level signals, turning off the second N-type switch N2 to the n-th N-type switch Nn, turning off the first switch element K1 to the n-1-th switch element Kn-1, and stopping the second compensation module 111 to the n-th compensation module 111. Therefore, the data voltage Dm is only amplified by the first compensation module 111 to output the compensated DC power to the pixel driving circuit 12.

[0067] When the data voltage Dm is greater than or equal to the second reference voltage Vref2 and less than the first reference voltage Vref1, the first comparator U1 outputs a low-level signal to turn off the first N-type switch N1 and turn on the first P-type switch P1; the second comparator U2 outputs a high-level signal to turn on the second N-type switch N2 and the first switch element K1 and turn off the second P-type switch P2; the first compensation module 111 and the second compensation module 111 are based on the data voltage Dm transmitted by the second N-type switch N2. The third comparator U3 to the nth comparator Un output low-level signals, the third N-type switch tube N3 to the nth N-type switch tube Nn are turned off, the second switch element K2 to the n-1th switch element Kn-1 are turned off, and the third compensation module 111 to the n-th compensation module 111 stop working. Therefore, the data voltage Dm is only amplified by the two-stage current of the first compensation module 111 and the second compensation module 111 to output the compensated DC power to the pixel driving circuit 12.

[0068] By analogy, when the data voltage Dm is greater than or equal to the third reference voltage Vref3 and less than the second reference voltage Vref2, the data voltage Dm is amplified by three stages of current through the first compensation module 111, the second compensation module 111, and the third compensation module 111 to output a compensated direct current to the pixel driving circuit 12; until the data voltage Dm is less than or equal to the n-1th reference voltage Vrefn-1 and greater than the nth reference voltage Vrefn, the data voltage Dm is amplified by n stages of current through the n compensation modules 111 to output a compensated direct current to the pixel driving circuit 12.

[0069] The data voltage Dm is compared by n comparators Ui to determine the target voltage range of the data voltage Dm, and the corresponding number of compensation modules 111 are turned on according to the target voltage range to amplify the current of the data voltage Dm by the corresponding number of levels to output a compensated direct current, thereby achieving a negative correlation between the current of the compensated direct current and the value in the target voltage range.

[0070] As an example but not a limitation, the compensation module 111 includes an even number of cascaded inverters; the first inverter to the last inverter are connected in sequence.

[0071] The input end of the first inverter serves as the data voltage input end of the compensation module to receive the data voltage; the output end of the last inverter serves as the data voltage output end of the compensation module after current amplification to output the data voltage after current amplification.

[0072] The compensation module 111 is realized by an even number of cascaded inverters, which has a simple circuit structure and low cost.

[0073] It should be emphasized that the first reference voltage Vref1 to the nth reference voltage Vrefn decrease in sequence.

[0074] Since the first reference voltage Vref1 to the nth reference voltage Vrefn decrease in sequence, the smaller the data voltage Dm is, the more compensation circuits 11 are turned on, the more levels of current amplification of the data voltage Dm are, and the larger the compensation DC current is, thereby improving the accuracy of current compensation in the pixel driving circuit.

[0075] It is worth emphasizing that the pixel display driving circuit may include multiple groups of pixel driving components, each group of pixel driving components includes a compensation circuit and multiple pixel driving circuits. By sharing a part of the compensation circuit, the circuit can be simplified and the pixel aperture ratio can be improved, thereby reducing costs. For example, a row of pixel circuits share one compensation circuit. Figure 3 As shown, there are n rows of pixel circuits (light-emitting elements 90), each row of pixel circuits includes m pixel circuits, n compensation circuits 11 correspond one-to-one to the n rows of pixel circuits, and each compensation circuit 11 is connected to m pixel driving circuits 12; corresponding to each row of pixel circuits, m pixel driving circuits 12 are connected one-to-one to m pixel circuits. It is understood that the pixel display driving circuit 12 also includes a microprocessor 100.

[0076] The microprocessor 100 is configured to access the data voltages of each row of pixel circuits, and when the data voltages of more than half of the pixel circuits in each row of pixel circuits are less than a threshold value, output an enable signal and a target data voltage corresponding to each row of pixel circuits, wherein the target data voltage is the average value of the data voltages of the pixel circuits in each row of pixel circuits or the median of the data voltages of the pixel circuits in each row of pixel circuits; the compensation circuit 11 is specifically configured to access the target data voltage, compare the target data voltage with at least one reference voltage Vrefi according to the enable signal, determine the target voltage range in which the target data voltage is located according to the comparison result, and output a compensated DC power according to the target voltage range; thereby, each pixel driving circuit 12 outputs a driving current to each light-emitting element according to the data voltage Dm and the compensated DC power in response to the access of the selection signal, so as to light up each light-emitting element.

[0077] It should be noted that n is positively correlated with the transmission distance, which is the distance between the output terminal of the data voltage Dm and the pixel driving circuit 12 .

[0078] In a specific implementation, the greater the distance between the output terminal of the data voltage Dm and the pixel driving circuit 12, the greater the attenuation of the data voltage Dm, and the smaller the attenuated data voltage Dm. Therefore, more compensation modules 111 are required for compensation to amplify the current of the data voltage Dm by more levels.

[0079] As an example and not a limitation, starting from the Chip On Film (COF), the data voltage of the near-end pixel circuit has almost no attenuation, and no compensation circuit is required; the farthest end requires a compensation circuit with the maximum number of levels (n), such as 3 levels of compensation; from near to far, the number of compensation circuits increases successively. In one embodiment, the display panel can be divided into zones according to the distance from the COF, and different zones use different compensation circuit designs. Figure 4 As shown, the pixel circuits on the display panel are divided into regions 1, 2 to k from near to far from the COF; the level of the compensation circuit corresponding to each region is positively correlated with the distance of each region from the COF; for example, region 1 can be set to no compensation, region 2 can be set to 1 level of compensation, region 3 can be set to 2 levels of compensation, and region 4 can be set to 3 levels of compensation.

[0080] While setting n to be positively correlated with the transmission distance, each pixel driving component can be configured to include a compensation circuit and multiple pixel driving circuits, thereby further improving the aperture ratio, simplifying the circuit, and reducing costs.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, the pixel driving circuit further includes an amplifier circuit 13 .

[0082] The amplifier circuit 13 is connected to the pixel driving circuit 12 and the compensation circuit 11 , and is configured to amplify the data voltage Dm to output the amplified data voltage Dm.

[0083] The compensation circuit 11 is specifically configured to compare the amplified data voltage Dm with at least one reference voltage Vrefi, determine the target voltage interval of the data voltage Dm according to the comparison result, and output the compensation DC power according to the target voltage interval.

[0084] By amplifying the data voltage Dm and comparing the amplified data voltage Dm with at least one reference voltage Vrefi, each voltage interval is increased, which is beneficial to circuit parameter design and device selection and facilitates circuit design.

[0085] In such Figure 5 In the pixel display driving circuit shown in FIG. 1 , the compensation circuit 11 can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it includes n comparators Ui, n-1 P-type switching tubes Pi, n N-type switching tubes Ni, n-1 switching elements Ki and n compensation modules 111.

[0086] The positive input terminal of the first comparator U1 and the first terminals of the n-1 P-type switching tubes Pi serve together as the amplified data voltage input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to receive the amplified data voltage Dm2; the inverting input terminal of the i-th comparator Ui serves as the i-th reference voltage input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to receive the i-th reference voltage Vrefi.

[0087] The output end of the i+1th comparator Ui+1 is connected to the control end of the i+1th P-type switching tube Pi+1, the control end of the i+1th N-type switching tube Ni+1, and the control end of the i-th switching element Ki; the output end of the first comparator U1 is connected to the control end of the first P-type switching tube P1 and the control end of the first N-type switching tube N1.

[0088] The first terminals of the n N-type switching transistors Ni serve together as the data voltage input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to receive the data voltage Dm.

[0089] The second ends of the n N-type switching transistors Ni are commonly connected to the input end of the first compensation module 111 .

[0090] The i-th switching element Ki is connected between the i-th compensation module 111 and the (i+1)-th compensation module 111 .

[0091] The compensation module 111 amplifies the current of the input data voltage Dm to output the amplified data voltage Dm.

[0092] Wherein, i is a positive integer less than n, and n is a positive integer.

[0093] It is worth noting that Figure 4 The compensation circuit 11 shown is similar to the Figure 3 The difference of the compensation circuit 11 shown is that the non-inverting input terminal of the first comparator Ui and the first terminals of n-1 P-type switches Pi serve as the amplified data voltage Dm input terminal of the compensation circuit 11 to receive the amplified data voltage Dm.

[0094] Therefore Figure 6 The n comparators Ui shown compare the amplified data voltage Dm, determine the target voltage range of the amplified data voltage Dm, and turn on the corresponding number of compensation modules 111 according to the target voltage range to amplify the current of the data voltage Dm by the corresponding number of levels to output compensated direct current, thereby achieving a negative correlation between the current of the compensated direct current and the value in the target voltage range.

[0095] like Figure 7 As shown, the pixel driving circuit 12 includes a first switch circuit 121 , a tank circuit 122 and a second switch circuit 123 .

[0096] The first switch circuit 121 is connected to the compensation circuit 11 and configured to transmit the data voltage Dm in response to the input of the selection signal Sn.

[0097] The energy storage circuit 122 is connected to the first switch circuit 121 and the compensation circuit 11 , and is configured to be charged according to the data voltage Dm, the compensation DC power and the power supply DC power to output an energy storage voltage.

[0098] The second switch circuit 123 is connected to the first switch circuit 121 , the energy storage circuit 122 and the compensation circuit 11 , and is configured to transmit a power supply DC according to the energy storage voltage to output a driving current.

[0099] It should be noted that the first switch circuit 121, the energy storage circuit 122, and the second switch circuit 123 are commonly connected to the first node A. The compensation circuit is specifically configured to, in response to the voltage of the first node A being less than or equal to a preset value, connect the data voltage, compare the data voltage with at least one reference voltage, determine the target voltage range within which the data voltage falls based on the comparison result, and output the compensation DC power according to the target voltage range.

[0100] The pixel selection function and the pixel driving function are realized by the first switch circuit 121 , the energy storage circuit 122 and the second switch circuit 123 .

[0101] Figure 8 FIG1 shows a partial exemplary circuit structure of a pixel driving circuit in a pixel display driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 FIG1 shows a partial exemplary circuit structure of a compensation module in a pixel display driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 A partial exemplary circuit structure of an amplifier circuit in a pixel display driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For ease of explanation, only the portion related to the embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the details are as follows:

[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, the first switch circuit 121 includes a first field effect transistor M1; the gate of the first field effect transistor M1 serves as a selection signal input terminal of the first switch circuit 121 to receive the selection signal Sn; the drain of the first field effect transistor M1 serves as a data voltage input terminal of the first switch circuit 121 to receive the data voltage Dm; and the source of the first field effect transistor M1 serves as a data voltage output terminal of the first switch circuit 121 to output the data voltage Dm.

[0103] The second switching circuit 123 includes a second field-effect transistor M2; the gate of the second field-effect transistor M2 and the source of the second field-effect transistor M2 serve as the energy storage voltage input terminal of the second switching circuit 123, and are connected to the energy storage circuit 122 to receive the energy storage voltage; the source of the second field-effect transistor M2 also serves as the power supply DC input terminal of the second switching circuit 123 to receive the power supply DC; the drain of the second field-effect transistor M2 serves as the drive current output terminal of the second switching circuit 123, and is connected to the light-emitting element to output the drive current.

[0104] The energy tank circuit 122 includes a first capacitor C1.
