TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a display device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In an organic electroluminescent display panel (OLED, Organic Light-Emitting Diode), in order to ensure the accurate control of each pixel light emission and avoid uneven light emission, an internal compensation circuit needs to be used. Since the internal compensation circuit has a high requirement on the characteristics of a thin film transistor (TFT, Thin Film Transistor) device, low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS, Low Temperature Poly-Silicon) is usually used as the semiconductor material of the TFT device.
[0003] However, the production cost of the LTPS TFT device is high, which leads to a high cost of the display panel product using the LTPS TFT device. In contrast, the production cost of the oxide semiconductor TFT device is low, but the device characteristics and stability are not as good as those of the LTPS TFT device, and it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high mobility and high stability characteristics.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the traditional organic electroluminescent display panel uses a hybrid process: using indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) material with good stability but low mobility in the pixel circuit to meet the internal compensation requirement of the pixel circuit; using high mobility oxide material in the driving circuit (GOA, Gate-driver On Array) to improve the driving ability of the circuit and meet the requirement of high refresh rate. However, in order to realize the internal compensation function of the pixel and meet the narrow frame requirement, at least three groups of driving sub-circuits need to be arranged in the driving circuit of the traditional organic electroluminescent display panel to output at least three groups of signals to the pixel. This requires the driving sub-circuit to use a simplified circuit architecture. Since the high mobility oxide material is prone to negative bias effect, the organic electroluminescent display panel using the simplified circuit architecture has a high risk of lighting and reliability.

[0029] The display device provided in the embodiments of the present application may be, for example, an OLED display device, a Mini-LED display device, or a Micro-LED display device. The embodiments of the present application are described using an OLED display device as an example.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a display panel, a timing controller, a source driving circuit and a power management chip (the power management chip and the timing controller can be integrated into the same chip). The display panel is an organic light emitting diode display panel.
[0031] The display panel includes a display area and a non-display area. The display area is provided with m×n pixel units PX arranged in an array, where m and n are integers greater than 1. The non-display area is located around the display area and is used to arrange drive circuits and various signal lines. The display panel also includes multiple gate drive signal lines Gout[n], multiple initialization signal lines INI[n], multiple reference signal lines REF[n], multiple data lines DATA, and a gate drive circuit. The multiple gate drive signal lines Gout[n], multiple initialization signal lines INI[n], and multiple reference signal lines REF[n] extend along a first direction and are arranged along a second direction, and the multiple data lines DATA extend along the second direction and are arranged along the first direction, with the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. The gate drive circuit is provided in the non-display area and is electrically connected to the multiple gate drive signal lines Gout[n], multiple initialization signal lines INI[n], and multiple reference signal lines REF[n]. The source drive circuit is electrically connected to the multiple data lines DATA via a flexible printed circuit board. The timing controller is electrically connected to the gate driving circuit and the source driving circuit respectively.
[0032] The display panel includes an organic light-emitting diode array substrate and an encapsulation layer. The organic light-emitting diode array substrate includes a base substrate, a buffer layer disposed on the base substrate, an active layer disposed on the buffer layer, a gate insulating layer disposed on the active layer, a first metal layer disposed on the gate insulating layer, an interlayer insulating layer disposed on the first metal layer, a second metal layer disposed on the interlayer insulating layer, a planarization layer disposed on the second metal layer, a first electrode layer disposed on the planarization layer, a pixel defining layer disposed on the first electrode layer, an organic light-emitting layer disposed within an opening defined by the pixel defining layer, and a second electrode layer disposed on the organic light-emitting layer.

[0033] Each pixel unit PX includes a pixel driving circuit and an organic light-emitting diode OLED (light-emitting device). The pixel driving circuit includes at least two thin-film transistors and a storage capacitor. One of the thin-film transistors serves as a switching transistor, with its gate electrically connected to the corresponding scan line and its source electrically connected to the corresponding data line; the other thin-film transistor serves as a driving transistor, with its gate electrically connected to the drain of the switching transistor, its source electrically connected to the first power supply voltage line, and its drain electrically connected to the anode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED. One end of the storage capacitor is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor, and the other end is electrically connected to the source or drain of the driving transistor. The cathode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED is electrically connected to the second power supply voltage line.
[0034] The gate drive circuit includes n cascaded gate drive units, each of which is electrically connected to a scan line. Under the control of the timing controller, the gate drive unit sequentially outputs scan signals to scan each row of pixel units PX in the display area line by line. Under the control of the timing controller, the source drive circuit generates and outputs data signals based on image data. The timing controller is used to receive and process external image data and timing signals, generate control signals, and transmit image data to the source drive circuit. The power management chip is used to provide operating voltages for various parts of the display device, including providing a second power supply voltage VSS to the cathode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED, providing a first power supply voltage VDD to the first power supply voltage line, and providing a gate drive voltage VGH / VGL to the gate drive circuit.
[0035] The present application provides a display device, which includes a display panel, and the display panel includes a multi-stage cascade drive circuit. In order to drive the pixel circuit of the 4T1C structure in the display panel, the drive circuit needs to output a gate drive signal Gout[n], an initialization signal INI[n] and a reference signal REF[n] to the pixel circuit of the 4T1C structure. To this end, the drive circuit includes a gate drive signal subcircuit (such as Figure 2 As shown), initialization signal sub-circuit (as shown Figure 3 ) and the reference signal subcircuit (as shown Figure 4 shown).
[0036] The pixel driving circuit of the 4T1C structure includes a driving transistor, a switching transistor, an initialization transistor, a compensation transistor, and a storage capacitor. The gate of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the first plate of the storage capacitor, the source of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the first power supply voltage line VDD, and the drain of the driving transistor is electrically connected to the anode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED; the gate of the switching transistor is electrically connected to the gate driving signal input terminal Gout[n], the source of the switching transistor is electrically connected to the data line DATA, and the drain of the switching transistor is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor; the gate of the initialization transistor is electrically connected to the initialization signal input terminal INI[n], the source of the initialization transistor is electrically connected to the initialization voltage terminal, and the drain of the initialization transistor is electrically connected to the anode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED; the gate of the compensation transistor is electrically connected to the reference signal input terminal REF[n], the source of the compensation transistor is electrically connected to the reference voltage input terminal, and the drain of the compensation transistor is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor; the second plate of the storage capacitor is electrically connected to the drain of the driving transistor; and the cathode of the organic light-emitting diode OLED is electrically connected to the second power supply voltage line VSS. The pixel driving circuit of the 4T1C structure does not use a light emitting control signal to control the light emitting of the organic light emitting diode OLED, but controls the on or off of the driving transistor itself to realize the on and off of the current path of the organic light emitting diode OLED.
[0037] To meet the narrow bezel requirements of display panels, the gate drive signal subcircuit and initialization signal subcircuit both utilize a minimalist 10T1C (10 transistors and 1 capacitor) circuit architecture, while the reference signal subcircuit utilizes a minimalist 10T2C (10 transistors and 2 capacitors) circuit architecture. These three subcircuits require 14 input signals, including 8 clock signals (CK), 2 high-level power signals (VGH), 2 low-level power signals (VGL), 1 start signal (STV), and 1 vertical synchronization signal (VST).
[0038] In order to meet the driving capability requirements and achieve miniaturization of transistor size, the transistors in these sub-circuits are all top-gate transistors, and their semiconductor layers use high-mobility oxide materials. The high-mobility oxide material refers to a material with a mobility higher than that of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) material. Specifically, the high-mobility oxide material can be selected from the following materials: In-Sn-O (ITO) material, In-WO (IWO) material, In-Zn-WO (IZWO) material, In-Ti-O (ITiO) material. Using high-mobility oxide material as the semiconductor layer can meet the driving capability requirements and achieve miniaturization of transistor size.
[0039] However, high-mobility oxide materials are prone to negative bias effects, which leads to a higher risk of failure in traditional minimalist circuit architectures. Specifically, in the gate drive signal subcircuit and initialization signal subcircuit, transistors T42_1, TrQ_1, and T41_1, as well as transistors T42_2, TrQ_2, and T41_2 are prone to negative bias effects; in the reference signal subcircuit, transistors T41_3, T51_3, T51A_3, and T42_3 are also prone to negative bias effects. The negative bias effect of these transistors can cause the threshold voltage (Vth) to decrease, making it impossible for the transistor to be completely turned off when it should be turned off, thereby affecting the normal operation of the display panel.
[0040] In order to solve this problem, the present application electrically connects the bottom gates of the transistors that are prone to negative bias effects to the potential control signal input terminal LS.
[0041] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, each transistor includes a top gate GE, a source, and a drain. The top gate GE is located above the semiconductor layer Active, with a gate insulating layer GI disposed between the top gate GE and the semiconductor layer. The transistors in these sub-circuits that are prone to negative bias also include a bottom gate LS, which is located below the semiconductor layer Active. The bottom gate LS is composed of a light shield layer (light shield), which not only has a light-shielding function but also serves as the bottom gate (second gate) of the transistor.
[0042] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, the threshold voltage (Vth) change trend of high-mobility oxide transistors under different LS (light shielding layer, which acts as the bottom gate of the transistor) voltages is shown. Under the premise of ensuring that the product frame is not lost, by adjusting the voltage of the bottom gate of the high-mobility oxide transistor with a top gate structure, the threshold voltage of these transistors that are prone to negative bias effects can be adjusted so that they are within the adjustment range (Vth Margin) of the threshold voltage of the transistor. The figure contains test data from 5 different test points (990B0-C2, 996C0-B1, 990B0-A2, 990B0-B1, 990B0-F1). The horizontal axis is the LS voltage, ranging from -11 volts to 0 volts; the vertical axis is the threshold voltage Vth, ranging from 0 volts to 8 volts. Through experimental research, it was found that when a negative voltage of no more than -5 volts is input to the potential control signal input terminal LS, these transistors can be effectively prevented from generating negative bias effects. Experimental data show that within the potential control signal input range of -12V to 2V, there is a good linear relationship between the threshold voltage of the transistor and the potential control signal, with a correlation coefficient R 2 Reached 0.999.
[0043] Specifically, at these five different test points, as the LS voltage increases from -12 volts to 0 volts, the threshold voltage Vth of the transistor shows a linear downward trend. When the LS voltage is -12 volts, the threshold voltage Vth of each test point is between 5.0 volts and 6.2 volts; when the LS voltage is 0 volts, the threshold voltage Vth of each test point drops to between 0.5 volts and 1.5 volts. The threshold voltage Vth of all test points shows a linear relationship with the LS voltage of y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the intercept. This consistent linear change trend confirms that the threshold voltage Vth of high-mobility oxide transistors can be effectively controlled by adjusting the LS voltage.
[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the figure shows the correlation between the slope a and intercept b in the Vth-LS voltage relationship curve y=ax+b and the threshold voltage Vth. The figure contains two sets of data: the red dot represents the slope (Slope), and the blue dot represents the intercept (Intercept). The horizontal axis is the threshold voltage Vth, ranging from 0.4 volts to 1.6 volts; the vertical axis on the left is the slope, ranging from -0.42 to -0.24; the vertical axis on the right is the intercept, ranging from 0.2 volts to 1.6 volts. Further research found that the slope a of different test points is similar, fluctuating between -0.40 and -0.35, indicating that the response characteristics of different points to the LS voltage are similar. The intercept b and the threshold voltage Vth (that is, the threshold voltage when the LS voltage is 0 volts) show a good linear correlation, and the correlation coefficient R 2Reaching 0.99. This means that the required LS voltage value can be predicted by measuring the threshold voltage Vth, thereby accurately controlling the threshold voltage Vth of the transistor. For example, when the threshold voltage Vth = 0 volts, by giving the LS a negative bias of -4 volts, Vth can be adjusted to above 1.5 volts. In addition, after adjusting the Vth of the high-mobility oxide transistor by negatively biasing the LS, the forward bias stability (ΔVth) did not deteriorate significantly and remained at basically the same level, indicating that this solution has a low risk to the reliability of the driving circuit.
[0045] More importantly, the solution of the present application for preventing the negative bias effect by controlling the bottom gate voltage will not affect the forward bias stability of the transistor.
[0046]
[0047] Table 1
[0048] Table 1 shows the trend of the forward bias stability (ΔVth) under different LS voltages. In Table 1, the threshold voltage changes of the transistor in the linear region (Vth-lin) and saturation region (Vth-sat) were tested under three voltage conditions: LS = 0 volts, LS = -4 volts, and LS = -8 volts. Vth-lin refers to the threshold voltage measured when the transistor operates in the linear region (i.e., the voltage VDS between the drain and source is small, and the drain current ID has a linear relationship with VDS). Vth-sat refers to the threshold voltage measured when the transistor operates in the saturation region (i.e., the voltage VDS between the drain and source is large, and the drain current ID tends to saturation as VDS increases).
[0049] Experimental data shows that at 0 seconds, as the LS voltage increases (from 0V to -8V), the threshold voltage Vth of the transistor shows an upward trend. For example, in the linear region, the threshold voltage Vth is 1.71V when LS = 0V, rises to 2.36V when LS = -4V, and further rises to 3.90V when LS = -8V. This trend also shows a similar pattern in the saturation region.
[0050] After 3600 seconds of positive bias stress testing, the threshold voltage Vth under each condition increased, but ΔVth (i.e., the difference between Vth at 3600 seconds and Vth at 0 seconds) did not deteriorate with the increase of LS voltage. Specifically, in the linear region, when LS = 0 volts, ΔVth is 1.43 volts, when LS = -4 volts, ΔVth is 1.39 volts, and when LS = -8 volts, ΔVth is 1.29 volts; in the saturation region, when LS = 0 volts, ΔVth is 1.29 volts, when LS = -4 volts, ΔVth is 0.94 volts, and when LS = -8 volts, ΔVth is 1.09 volts. This result is in sharp contrast to the phenomenon in traditional technical solutions that the larger the LS voltage, the easier it is to deteriorate ΔVth, confirming that the technical solution proposed in this application does not affect the stability of the device while adjusting the threshold voltage Vth.
[0051] Based on the above research results, this application provides the following technical solutions.

[0062] Through this improved technical solution, the present application can optimize the threshold voltage adjustment range (Vth Margin) from the original 0.5 to 5.4 volts to -2.2 to 5.4 volts, significantly widening the adjustable range of the threshold voltage. This optimization enables the driver circuit to better adapt to the characteristics of high-mobility oxide transistors, greatly improving the feasibility of the circuit. More importantly, this improvement does not significantly increase the border width of the display panel, maintaining the narrow border characteristics of the product.
[0063] In a specific implementation, the voltage of the bottom gate control signal input terminal LS is not higher than -5 V, and preferably can be adjusted within the range of -12 V to -5 V. For example, the specific voltage values that can be selected include but are not limited to:
[0064] -12 volts, -11 volts, -10 volts, -9 volts, -8 volts, -7 volts, -6 volts, -5 volts. By adjusting the voltage of the bottom gate control signal input end LS, the threshold voltage of each transistor can be accurately controlled, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the driving circuit.
[0065] Experimental data show that when the voltage of the bottom gate control signal input end LS is -4 volts, the threshold voltage of the transistor can be adjusted to 1.5 volts or more, which is sufficient to prevent the generation of negative bias effect. At the same time, at this voltage value, the positive bias stability (△Vth) of the transistor does not deteriorate significantly. For example, in the linear region, when LS = 0 volts, △Vth is 1.43 volts, when LS = -4 volts, △Vth is 1.39 volts, and when LS = -8 volts, △Vth is 1.29 volts; in the saturation region, when LS = 0 volts, △Vth is 1.29 volts, when LS = -4 volts, △Vth is 0.94 volts, and when LS = -8 volts, △Vth is 1.09 volts. This shows that the technical solution proposed in the present application not only effectively prevents negative bias effect, but also does not affect the positive bias stability of the transistor, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the display device.
[0066] Through the above technical solution, the display device provided by the present application successfully solves the technical problem that the simplified driving circuit in the prior art is prone to negative bias effect.

This scheme is particularly suitable for OLED display panels that require narrow frame design.
