Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to display technology, and more particularly to an array substrate and a display device. Background Technology
[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays are currently a hot topic in flat panel display research. Unlike thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs), which use a stable voltage to control brightness, OLEDs are driven by a driving current that needs to be kept constant to control illuminance. An OLED display panel includes multiple pixel units configured with pixel driving circuits arranged in multiple rows and columns. Each pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor having a gate terminal connected to a gate line in each row and a drain terminal connected to a data line in each column. When the row in which the pixel unit is selected is turned on, a switching transistor connected to the driving transistor is turned on, and a data voltage is applied from the data line through the switching transistor to the driving transistor, causing the driving transistor to output a current corresponding to the data voltage to the OLED device. This drives the OLED device to emit light of a corresponding brightness. Summary of the Invention

[0091] Figure 1 This is a plan view of an array substrate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The array substrate comprises an array of subpixels Sp. Each subpixel includes electronic components, such as a light-emitting element. In one example, the light-emitting element is driven by a corresponding pixel driving circuit PDC. The array substrate includes multiple gate lines GL, multiple data lines DL, and multiple voltage supply lines Vdd. Each subpixel is driven to emit light by a corresponding pixel driving circuit PDC. In one example, a high-voltage signal is input to the corresponding pixel driving circuit PDC connected to the anode of the light-emitting element via each of the multiple voltage supply lines Vdd; a low-voltage signal is input to the cathode of the light-emitting element. The voltage difference between the high-voltage signal (e.g., VDD signal) and the low-voltage signal (e.g., VSS signal) is the driving voltage ΔV, which drives the light-emitting element to emit light.

[0094] Figure 2B This is a circuit diagram illustrating the structure of a pixel driving circuit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 2BIn some embodiments, the third transistor T3 is a "dual-gate" transistor, and the first transistor T1 is a "dual-gate" transistor. Optionally, in the "dual-gate" first transistor, the active layer of the first transistor crosses the corresponding reset control signal line twice (alternatively, the corresponding reset control signal line crosses the active layer of the first transistor T1 twice). Similarly, in the "dual-gate" third transistor, the active layer of the third transistor T3 crosses the corresponding first gate line of the plurality of first gate lines GL1 twice (alternatively, the corresponding gate line crosses the active layer of the third transistor T3 twice). The gate of the first transistor T1 is... Figure 13E and Figure 16D The designation is "G1", where the first transistor T1 is a "dual-gate" transistor. The gate of the third transistor T3 is... Figure 13E and Figure 16D The designation is "G3", where the third transistor, T3, is a "dual-gate" transistor.
[0095] The pixel driving circuit also includes a first node N1, a second node N2, a third node N3, and a fourth node N4. The first node N1 is connected to the gate of the driving transistor Td, the first capacitor electrode Ce1, and the first electrode of the third transistor T3. The second node N2 is connected to the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode of the second transistor T2, and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td. The third node N3 is connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor Td, the second electrode of the third transistor T3, and the first electrode of the fifth transistor T5. The fourth node N4 is connected to the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6, and the anode of the light-emitting element LE.
[0096] As used herein, a first electrode or a second electrode refers to one of a first terminal and a second terminal of a transistor, both of which are connected to the active layer of the transistor. The direction of current flowing through the transistor can be configured to be from the first electrode to the second electrode, or from the second electrode to the first electrode. Thus, depending on the direction of current flowing through the transistor, in one example, the first electrode is configured to receive an input signal and the second electrode is configured to output an output signal; in another example, the second electrode is configured to receive an input signal and the first electrode is configured to output an output signal.
[0097] Figure 2C This is a timing diagram illustrating the operation of a pixel driving circuit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2CDuring one frame of an image, the operation of the pixel driving circuit includes a reset sub-stage t1, a data writing sub-stage t2, and a light emission sub-stage t3. In the initial sub-stage t0, a cutoff reset control signal is provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 via the current stage reset control signal line rstN, causing the first transistor T1 to turn off. In the initial sub-stage t0, the gate line GL is provided with a cutoff signal, therefore the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned off.
[0098] In reset stage t1, a turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 via the current stage reset control signal line rstN to turn on the first transistor T1. This allows the initialization voltage signal from the corresponding first reset signal line Vint1N of the current stage to be transmitted from the first electrode of the first transistor T1 to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, and further to the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the gate of the driving transistor Td. The gate of the driving transistor Td is initialized. The second capacitor electrode Ce2 receives a high voltage signal from the corresponding voltage supply line among the plurality of voltage supply lines Vdd. Due to the increased voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2, the first capacitor electrode Ce1 is charged in reset stage t1. In reset stage t1, the corresponding gate lines among the plurality of gate lines GL are provided with a cutoff signal, thus turning off the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3. The corresponding light-emitting control signal lines among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em are provided with a high voltage signal to turn off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0099] In data write sub-stage t2, a cutoff reset control signal is again provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 via the current stage reset control signal line rstN to turn off the first transistor T1. The corresponding gate lines in the plurality of gate lines GL are provided with conduction signals, thus turning on the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3. The second electrode of the driving transistor Td is connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3. The gate of the driving transistor Td is electrically connected to the first electrode of the third transistor T3. Since the third transistor T3 is turned on in data write sub-stage t2, the gate and second electrode of the driving transistor Td are connected and short-circuited, so only the PN junction between the gate and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td is effective, thus making the driving transistor Td a diode-connected mode. The second transistor T2 is turned on in data write sub-stage t2. The data voltage signal transmitted through the corresponding data lines in the plurality of data lines DL is received by the first electrode of the second transistor T2 and then transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td, which is connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2. The node N2 connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td has the voltage level of the data voltage signal. Since only the PN junction between the gate of the driving transistor Td and the first electrode is active, during the data write sub-stage t2, the voltage level at node N1 gradually rises to (Vdata + Vth), where Vdata is the voltage level of the data voltage signal and Vth is the voltage level of the threshold voltage Th of the PN junction. Because the voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2 decreases to a relatively small value, the storage capacitor Cst discharges. The corresponding light-emitting control signal lines in the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em are provided with high-voltage signals to cut off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0100] During the data write sub-stage t2, a turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the sixth transistor T6 via the corresponding reset control signal line rst(N+1) of the next adjacent stage to turn on the sixth transistor T6; this allows the initialization voltage signal from the corresponding second reset signal line Vint2N of the current stage to be transmitted from the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6; and further to node N4. The anode of the light-emitting element LE is initialized.
[0101] In the light-emitting stage t3, a cutoff reset control signal is again provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 via the current stage reset control signal line rstN to turn off the first transistor T1. Corresponding gate lines among the plurality of gate lines GL are provided with cutoff signals, turning off the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3. Corresponding light-emitting control signal lines among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em are provided with low voltage signals to turn on the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. In the light-emitting stage t3, the voltage level at node N1 is maintained at (Vdata + Vth), and the driving transistor Td is turned on by this voltage level, operating in the saturation region. A path is formed through the fourth transistor T4, the driving transistor Td, and the fifth transistor T5 to the light-emitting element LE. The driving transistor Td generates a driving current to drive the light-emitting element LE to emit light. The voltage level at node N3, connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor Td, is equal to the emission voltage of the light-emitting element LE.

In one example, multiple gate lines GL and a first capacitor electrode Ce1 are located in the same layer when they are formed due to one or more steps of the same patterning process performed in the same material layer. In another example, multiple gate lines GL and a first capacitor electrode Ce1 can be formed in the same layer by simultaneously performing the steps of forming multiple gate lines GL and forming the first capacitor electrode Ce1.

Therefore, when the array substrate includes p dummy sub-pixels and (Pp) emitting sub-pixels, the ratio of the total number of reset signal lines extending along the second direction DR2 and passing through the (Pp) pixel driving circuits and the p "dummy" pixel driving circuits to the total number of initialization connection lines is 1:(Pp).
[0135] The inventors of this disclosure observed that in a correlated array substrate, subpixels of different colors experience varying degrees of degradation after reliability testing. Specifically, in the correlated array substrate, the luminous efficiency of red and blue subpixels decreases faster than that of green subpixels. This results in a green bias in the correlated array substrate after reliability testing. The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that the structure and layout of the array substrate of this disclosure avoids this problem, achieving excellent display quality.
