[0002] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) as a current light-emitting device has been more and more applied to high-performance display devices, and has become a mainstream display device due to its self-luminous, ultra-thin, bendable, bright color, wide viewing angle, high contrast and other advantages.

[0003] In the process of displaying the OLED display panel, the switching transistor for driving in the pixel unit drives the light-emitting device OLED to emit light according to the data signal. However, since the switching transistor for driving still has the phenomenon of leakage current transmission in the off state, the driving current provided for driving the light-emitting device OLED has poor stability, the luminous brightness is uneven, and thus the image display effect of the OLED display panel is poor.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a display device is provided in the present application. The display device 100 comprises a display panel 10 and a power module (not labeled), which is arranged on the back of the display panel 10, i.e. the non-display surface of the display panel 10. The power module is used to provide a power voltage for the display panel 10 to display images. In other embodiments of the present application, the display device 100 can be a desktop computer, a portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a planar layout of the display panel 10 is shown. Figure 1

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 , the display area 10a of the display panel 10 comprises a plurality of n*m pixel units P arranged in a matrix, m data lines D1-Dm, and n scan lines G1-Gn, where m and n are natural numbers greater than 1.

[0042] Among them, the n scan lines G1-Gn extend along the first direction F1 and are insulated and arranged in parallel along the second direction F2, the m data lines D1-Dm extend along the second direction F2 and are insulated and arranged in parallel along the first direction F1, and the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0043] ​Corresponding to the non-display area 10b of the display panel 10, the display device 100 further comprises a timing control circuit 11, a data driving circuit 12 and a scan driving circuit 13 arranged in the display panel 10 for driving the pixel unit P to display images.

[0044] The timing control circuit 11 is electrically connected to the data driving circuit 12 and the scan driving circuit 13, for receiving the encoded image signals of RGB from outside, and outputting corresponding clock signals, synchronization signals and decoded image signals (data signals Data) to the data driving circuit 12 and the scan driving circuit 13, so as to control the working timing of the two, specifically, the timing control circuit 11 outputs corresponding timing control signals to the data driving circuit 12 and the scan driving circuit 13, so as to control when the scan driving circuit 13 outputs corresponding scan signals and control when the data driving circuit 12 outputs corresponding image signals Data.

[0045] The data driving circuit 12 is electrically connected to the m data lines D1-Dm, for transmitting the image signals to be displayed to the plurality of pixel units P in the form of data voltages corresponding to the analog form of the data signals Data through the m data lines D1-Dm.

[0046] The scan driving circuit 13 is electrically connected to the n scan lines G1-Gn, for outputting scan signals to the pixel units P through the n scan lines G1-Gn, so as to control when the pixel units P receive the data signals Data. The scan driving circuit 13 outputs scan signals from the scan lines G1, G2, …, Gn in turn according to the time-continuous scan periods within each frame image display period, from the scan lines G1, G2, …, Gn in the order of the position arrangement sequence.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 the circuit structure diagram of any one of the pixel units, as Figure 3 shown, the pixel unit P comprises a control switch tube M1, a driving switch tube M2 and a first energy storage element C1.

[0048] The driving switch tube M2 is connected to the control switch tube M1 through a first node N1, and the driving switch tube M2 is also connected to a first power supply end VDD through a second node N2, and connected to a light emitting element L through a driving node Nd. The light emitting element L is connected to the driving node Nd and a second power supply end VSS. The first energy storage element C1 is connected to the first node N1 and the second node N2. In this embodiment, the light emitting element L is a light emitting diode, wherein the anode of the light emitting diode as the light emitting element L is connected to the driving node Nd, and the cathode is connected to the second power supply end VSS, and the second power supply end VSS can be a ground end GND.

[0049] The control switch Ml is connected to the data line Dj, the scan line Gi and the first node Nl, and is used to receive the scan signal Gsi and the data signal Data during the data writing period of a frame image display period, and the scan signal Gsi is used to control the corresponding control switch Ml to transmit the received data signal Data to the first energy storage element C l, and the data signal Data is used to control the drive switch M2 to output the corresponding drive current to the light emitting element L from the drive power Ids provided by the first power supply end VDD during the light emitting period of a frame image display period, so as to drive the light emitting element L to emit light and display images.

[0050] In this embodiment, the control switch Ml and the drive switch M2 are P-type low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the control switch Ml and the drive switch M2 can also be N-type LTPS thin film transistors.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 4-6 together, Figure 4 for Figure 3 the driving timing diagram during the image display process of the pixel unit shown, Figure 5 for Figure 3 the current flow direction diagram of the pixel unit shown during the image display process; Figure 6 for Figure 5 the current-voltage change diagram of the control switch Ml in the pixel unit shown during operation.

[0052] As Figure 4 shown, in any frame image period, each pixel unit includes at least a data loading stage Td and a light emitting stage Te which are continuous in time and arranged in sequence.

[0053] As Figure 5 shown, in the data loading stage Td, the scan line Gi outputs the scan signal Gsi to the control switch Ml, and the control switch Ml is turned on under the control of the scan signal Gsi, and the data signal Data is transmitted to the first energy storage element C l connected to the first node Nl through the control switch Ml for storage. It can be understood that the first energy storage element C l can maintain the voltage of the first node Nl as the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the data signal Data within a predetermined period.

[0054] During the light-emitting period Te, the scan line Gi stops outputting the scan signal Gsi, controlling the switch M1 to turn off, and driving the switch M2 to turn on under the control of the data voltage Vdata at the first node N1. The driving power supply VDD, in conjunction with the data voltage, continuously provides the driving current Ids to the light-emitting element L. The driving current Ids provided to the light-emitting element L is controlled by the driving transistor M2, and it satisfies the following formula (1):

[0055]

[0056] Where VDD is the voltage provided by the driving power supply, W and L are the width and length of the conductive channel of the driving switch M2, μ is the effective carrier mobility of the driving switch M2, Cox is the capacitance per unit area of ​​the gate oxide layer in the driving switch M2, Vdata is the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the input data signal Data, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving switch M2.

[0057] During the data loading phase Td, after the control switch M1 is turned on, the data signal Data provided by the data line Dj is transmitted along the arrow direction to the first energy storage element C1 connected to the first node N1, making the voltage Va of the first node N1 the same as the data voltage Vdata of the data signal Data. At this time, the voltage Va of the first node N1 serves as the turn-off voltage (Voff) for driving the switch M2. That is, the voltage Va of the first node N1 has not yet reached the threshold voltage for driving the switch M2, and the drive switch M2 is in the off state and not turned on.

[0058] like Figures 5-6 As shown, during the light-emitting stage Te, when the scan line Gi does not output the scan signal Gsi, the control switch M1 is turned off, and the first energy storage element C1 maintains the voltage Va of the first node N1, causing the drive switch M2 to be in the conducting state. The voltage Va of the first node N1 reaches the turn-on voltage (Von) of the drive switch M2. Due to the characteristics of the control switch M1 itself, there are turn-on delay and turn-off delay during the light-emitting stage Te.

[0059] However, because the control switch M1 still has some leakage current I when it is turned off. leak If the data voltage Vdata in data line Dj is greater than the voltage Va of the first node N1, then the leakage current I... leak The flow direction is from data line Dj to the first energy storage element C1. If the voltage Va of the first node N1 is greater than the data voltage Vdata in data line Dj, then the leakage current I... leak The energy flows from the first energy storage element C1 to the control switch M1, thereby reducing the leakage current I of the control switch M1. leak It will transmit data on line Dj. Therefore, it controls the leakage current I of switching transistor M1.leak The voltage across the first energy storage element C1 will be affected, and thus the voltage Va of the first node N1 will change, which directly affects the opening degree of the driving switch M2 and the size of the driving current Ids, and thus affects the brightness accuracy of the light emitted by the light emitting element L. At the same time, the drain current I leak will affect the data voltage Vdata on the data line Dj, thereby affecting the accurate transmission of the data signal Data. It can be understood that the drain current I leak is the current transmitted between the drain and the source of the control switch M1 when the control switch M1 is turned off.

[0060] It can be seen that due to the large drain current of the thin film transistor of LTPS, especially in the low-frequency (low refresh rate) display state, the large drain current easily causes the gate and source potential difference of the driving transistor M2 to be unstable, causing the driving current Ids of the OLED light emitting element to be unstable, and the display device 100 to flicker. At the same time, the drain current I leak will affect the data voltage Vdata on the data line Dj, thereby affecting the accurate transmission of the data signal Data, causing the image to be unable to be normally and accurately displayed, and the display effect to be poor.

[0061] The pixel unit P provided by the embodiments of the present application can effectively slow down or eliminate the drain current I leak of the control switch M1, thereby affecting the driving current Ids and the data signal Data on the data line Dj, so that the brightness of each pixel unit P in the display area 10a of the entire display panel 10 is more uniform, and the display effect is better.

[0062] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 , which is a circuit structure schematic diagram of the pixel unit P in the display panel 10 as shown in Figure 2 . As shown in Figure 7 , the pixel unit P includes a driving unit 200 and an adjusting unit 300, wherein the adjusting unit 300 is connected between the driving unit 200 and the data line Dj, and the adjusting unit 300 and the driving unit 200 are connected to the scan line Gi together, and the adjusting unit 300 is used to provide a compensation current Icp to the driving unit 200 during the light emitting period Te( Figure 8 ) to compensate for the drain current I leak generated by the driving unit 200 when working, thereby improving the working stability and accuracy of the driving unit 200.

[0063] Specifically, the driving unit 200 comprises a control switch tube M1, a driving switch tube M2 and a first energy storage element C1. The driving switch tube M2 is connected to the control switch tube M1 through a first node N1, and is also connected to a first power terminal VDD through a second node N2, and is connected to the light emitting element L through a driving node Nd. The light emitting element L is connected to the driving node Nd and a second power terminal VSS. The first energy storage element C1 is connected to the first node N1 and the second node N2.

[0064] The control switch tube M1 is connected to the first node N1 and a scan line Gi, and is connected to the adjusting unit 300 through a third node N3, for receiving a scan signal Gsi from the scan line Gi and a data signal Data from the adjusting unit 300 in a data loading stage Td of a frame image display period. The scan signal Gsi is used to control the corresponding control switch tube M1 to transmit the received data signal Data to the first energy storage element C1. The data signal Data is used to control the driving switch tube M2 to output a corresponding driving current Ids to the light emitting element L from the driving power provided by the first power terminal VDD in a light emitting stage Te of the frame image display period, so as to drive the light emitting element L to emit light and display images.

[0065] In the embodiment, the control switch tube M1 and the driving switch tube M2 can be low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) thin film transistors of N type or P type. The gate of the control switch tube M1 and the driving switch tube M2 can be used as a control terminal, and the source and the drain can be used as conductive terminals respectively. Specifically, the gate of the control switch tube M1 is connected to the scan line Gi as a control terminal, and the source and the drain are connected to the data line Dj and the first node N1 as conductive terminals respectively. The gate of the driving switch tube M2 is connected to the first node N1 as a control terminal, and the source and the drain are connected to the second node N2 and the driving node Nd as conductive terminals respectively.

[0066] The adjusting unit 300 comprises a data loading switch tube M3, an adjusting switch tube M4, a unidirectional conductive element D1, a second energy storage element C2 and a third energy storage element C3.

[0067] The data loading switch tube M3 is connected to the data line Dj, the unidirectional conductive element D1 and the scan line Gi, for receiving the data signal Data from the data line Dj in the data loading stage Td, and transmitting the data signal Data to the driving unit 200 through the unidirectional conductive element D1 and the third node N3.

[0068] The data loading switch tube M3 includes a data loading control end M30, a first data loading conductive end M31, and a second data loading conductive end M32. The data loading control end M30 is connected to the scan line Gi. The first data loading conductive end M31 is connected to the data line Dj. The second data loading conductive end M32 is connected to the unidirectional conductive element D1. The data loading switch tube M3 is turned on under the control of the scan signal Gsi output by the scan line Gi.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 7-8 , wherein, Figure 8 is as shown in the pixel unit P working timing diagram. Figure 7

[0081] ​In the data loading stage Td, the scan line Gi outputs a scan signal Gsi to the control switch tube M1, the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjusting switch tube M4, and the control switch tube M1, the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjusting switch tube M4 are turned on under the control of the scan signal Gsi, the data signal Data is transmitted to the third node N3 through the data loading switch tube M3 and the unidirectional conducting element D1, and is transmitted to the first node N1 and the buffer node Nh respectively through the third node N3, and the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2 store the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the data signal Data respectively, so that the voltages of the first node N1, the third node N3 and the buffer node Nh are all the data voltage Vdata.

[0083] At the same time, since the third energy storage element C3 is connected between the buffer node Nh and the first node N1, the voltages of the buffer node Nh and the first node N1 are the same and are the data voltage Vdata, and the drain current of the adjusting switch tube M4 flows from the buffer node Nh to the third node N3 as the compensation current Icp, at the same time, the drain current I leak of the control switch tube M1 in the drive unit 200 also flows from the first node N1 to the third node N3. Among them, the compensation current Icp transmitted from the buffer node Nh to the third node N3 through the adjusting switch tube M4 and the drain current I leak transmitted from the drive unit 200 to the third node N3 are basically the same in size, but opposite in direction, so as to be offset at the third node N3, and further to ensure that the voltage Va of the first node N1 does not change, that is, the compensation current Icp provided by the adjusting switch tube M4 offsets the drain current I leak transmitted from the drive unit 200 to the data line Dj, so as to maintain the voltage of the first node N1 at the data voltage Vdata, so that the gate-source voltage of the drive switch tube M2 in the drive unit 200 is stable, and the output driving current Ids is also relatively stable.

[0093] Specifically, referring to Figure 10 , which is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the pixel unit P in the display panel 20 as shown in Figure 9 . In the embodiment, Figure 10 , the pixel unit P and Figure 7 the circuit structure of the pixel unit P are basically the same, and the only difference is that the adjustment unit 300 does not include the third energy storage element C3, and at the same time, the scan signal received by the control switch tube M1 in the driving unit 200 is different.

[0098] The adjusting unit 300 comprises a data loading switch M3, an adjusting switch M4, a unidirectional conductive element Dl and a second energy storage element C2.

[0099] The data loading switch M3 is connected to the data line Dj, the third node N3 and the scan line Gi, for receiving the data signal Data from the data line Dj and transmitting the data signal Data to the drive unit 200 through the unidirectional conductive element Dl and the third node N3 in the data loading stage Td.

[0103] The unidirectional conductive element D1 is connected between the data loading switch M3 and the third node N3, and is used for unidirectionally transmitting the data signal Data to the third node N3 and the driving unit 200, and preventing the current in the driving unit 200 from being transmitted to the data loading switch M3 and the data line Dj through the third node N3.

[0105] In the embodiment, the unidirectional conductive element D1 is a diode, wherein the first conductive terminal D11 is the anode of the diode, and the second conductive terminal D12 is the cathode of the diode.

[0106] The adjusting switch transistor M4 is connected to the scanning line Gi, the third node N3 and the buffer node Nh, and is used for transmitting the data voltage Vdata received by the third node N3 to the buffer node Nh when the scanning signal Gsi is received.

[0107] The adjusting switch transistor M4 includes an adjusting control terminal M40, a first adjusting conductive terminal M41 and a second adjusting conductive terminal M42, wherein the adjusting control terminal M40 is connected to the scanning line Gi, the first adjusting conductive terminal M41 is connected to the third node N3, and the second adjusting conductive terminal M42 is connected to the buffer node Nh. The adjusting switch transistor M4 is turned on under the control of the scanning signal Gsi output by the scanning line Gi. When the adjusting switch transistor M4 is turned on, the data voltage Vdata loaded by the third node N3 is transmitted to the buffer node Nh through the adjusting switch transistor M3.

[0108] In the embodiment, the adjusting switch tube M3 is an N-type LTPS thin film transistor, the gate of which can be directly connected to the adjusting control terminal M40, or the gate of which is the adjusting control terminal M40, the source and the drain of which are respectively the first adjusting conductive terminal M51 and the second adjusting conductive terminal M42, or the source and the drain of which are directly connected to the first adjusting conductive terminal M51 and the second adjusting conductive terminal M42. When the adjusting switch tube M4 is an N-type transistor, the corresponding scanning signal Gsi is a high potential pulse signal.

[0109] In other embodiments of the present application, the adjusting switch M4 can also be a P-type LTPS thin film transistor, and the corresponding scanning signal Gsi is a low potential pulse signal.

[0110] The second energy storage element C2 is connected to the buffer node Nh and the ground terminal GND, and is used to maintain the voltage of the buffer node Nh as the data voltage Vdata for a preset period after the adjusting switch tube M4 receives the data signal Data. In the embodiment, the second energy storage element C2 is a capacitor.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 the working timing diagram of the pixel unit P shown in Figure 10 , and Figure 12 the working state diagram of the pixel unit P shown in Figure 10 .

[0112] In the embodiment, the data loading stage Td includes a first period Td1 and a second period Td2 which are continuous in time and arranged in sequence. In the first period Td1 of the data loading stage Td, the compensation scanning line Gci outputs the compensation scanning signal Gci to the control switch tube M1, and the scanning line Gi outputs the scanning signal Gsi to the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjusting switch tube M4, the control switch tube M1 is turned on under the control of the compensation scanning signal Gti, the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjusting switch tube M4 are turned on under the control of the scanning signal Gsi, the data signal Data is transmitted to the third node N3 through the data loading switch tube M3 and the unidirectional conductive element D1, and is transmitted to the first node N1 and the buffer node Nh through the third node N3, respectively, the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2 are stored, respectively, so that the voltages of the first node N1, the third node N3 and the buffer node Nh are all the compensation data voltage Vcp. In the embodiment, the compensation data voltage Vcp is greater than the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the data signal Data.

[0113] In the second period Td2 of the data loading stage Td, the compensation scan line Gci stops outputting the compensation scan signal Gci to the control switch tube M1, and the scan line Gi continues to output the scan signal Gsi. At this time, the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjustment switch tube M4 maintain the conductive state, and the control switch tube M1 is cut off, that is, the control switch tube M1 is cut off earlier than the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjustment switch tube M4.

[0114] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 11 The compensation scan signal Gci and the compensation signal Gsi are both pulse signals with the same potential, wherein the pulse signal of the compensation scan signal Gci has a duration of the first period T1, and the pulse signal of the scan signal Gsi has a duration of the sum of the first period T1 and the second period T2.

[0115] Since the data loading switch tube M3 and the adjustment switch tube M4 are conductive, the voltage of the buffer node Vh will continue to charge to the compensation data voltage Vdata.

[0116] During the charging process of the first energy storage element C1 as a capacitor, the voltage between the two poles will gradually increase over time. The formula for charging the capacitor voltage is a formula describing the change of the voltage between the two poles of the capacitor over time, and the formula is as follows:

[0117] Vc = V0(1 - e^(-t / RC)) (2).

[0118] Wherein, Vc represents the voltage between the two poles of the capacitor, V0 represents the voltage value when the capacitor starts charging, t is the charging time, R is the resistance value of the capacitor, C is the capacitance value of the capacitor, and e is the natural constant logarithmic function. R and C are known quantities at the beginning of the design and known, then the voltage Vc of the third node N3 = Vdata(1 - e^(-t / RC)) = VDD - VA, and the voltage VA of the first node N1 = VDD - Vdata(1 - e^(-t / RC)), so the voltage VA of the first node N1 is related to the charging time, that is, related to the duration of the second period Td2.

[0119] Therefore, the time of the second period Td2 is determined according to the required data voltage Vdata of the first node N1, the duration of the control switch M1 closing earlier than the data loading switch tube M3, the charging time of the first energy storage element C1 is Td1, and the charging time of the second energy storage element C2 is Td1 + Td2. Therefore, by setting the duration of the second period Td2, the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the data signal Data can be accurately obtained.

[0120] In the light emitting period Te, the scan line Gi also stops outputting the scan signal Gsi, the data load switch tube M3 and the adjustment switch tube M4 are all turned off, the drive switch tube M2 is turned on under the control of the data voltage Vdata at the first node N1, and the drive power source VDD continuously provides the drive current Ids to the light emitting element L in cooperation with the data voltage.

[0121] At the same time, as shown in Figure 12 , the buffer node Nh is at the compensation data voltage Vcp under the energy storage of the second energy storage element C2, the voltage Va of the first node N1 is the data voltage Vdata, and the adjustment switch tube M4 provides the drain current corresponding to the compensation data voltage Vcp as the compensation current Icp to the third node N3. The compensation current Icp will offset the drain current I leak of the drive switch tube M2 from the first node N1 to the third node N3. Correspondingly, or the same size, but opposite directions, so as to offset at the third node N3, and thus ensure that the voltage Va of the first node N1 does not change, that is, through the adjustment of the switch tube M4 to offset the drain current I leak of the drive unit 200, so as to maintain the voltage Va of the first node N1 accurately at the data voltage Vdata, and thus stabilize the gate-source voltage of the drive switch tube M2 in the drive unit 200, ensure that the output drive current Ids is also relatively stable, so that the light emitting element L can accurately emit light according to the brightness of the data voltage Vdata corresponding to the data signal Data to display the image.

[0122] Since the compensation data voltage Vcp is a real-time adjusted voltage according to the drive switch tube M2, it is not a fixed value, that is, the compensation data voltage Vcp is related to the aging degree, gate-source voltage, and source-drain voltage of the drive switch tube M2 itself. At the same time, the size of the drain current of the drive switch tube M2 is also related to the aging degree, gate-source voltage, and source-drain voltage of the drive switch tube M2 itself. Then when the compensation data voltage Vcp provided by the drive switch tube M2 can effectively adjust the drain current of the adjustment switch tube M4, and thus dynamically compensate the size of the drain current I leak of the drive switch tube M2, ensure that the voltage Va of the first node N1 is accurately maintained at the data voltage Vdata.

[0123] At the same time, since the voltage Vc of the third node N3 is greater than the voltage VA of the first node N1, that is, the potential of the third node N3 is higher than the voltage of the first node N1, so as to cut off the drain current I leak flowing to the third node N3, and thus accurately maintain the voltage VA of the first node N1 at the data voltage Vdata, and ensure that the drive current Ids output to the light emitting element L is also relatively stable, so that the pixel unit P accurately performs image display, and ensures that the display effect of the display panel 20 is better.

[0124] It is to be understood that the application is not limited to the examples described above, which can be modified or adapted in several ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present application, as defined by the appended claims.
