Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In electroluminescent display panels, particularly micro-light-emitting diode (Micro-LED) display panels, the pixel driver circuit plays a key role in display quality. Conventional Micro-LED display panels employ pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) driving methods, which switch between different grayscales by varying the current amplitude. However, this driving method can cause pockmarks in the actual display at low currents and low grayscales, resulting in poor display uniformity. To address the shortcomings of pure PAM driving, the industry has introduced a hybrid driving circuit combining PAM and pulse width modulation (PWM), known as pulse hybrid modulation (PHM) driving circuits. In a PHM driving circuit, high grayscales are switched using the PAM circuit to adjust the current, while low grayscales are switched using the PWM circuit to adjust the light emission time. This hybrid driving method improves display quality to a certain extent. However, the light emission current in conventional PHM driving circuits is significantly affected by power supply voltage fluctuations, resulting in poor display uniformity.

[0026] This application Figure 2 The working period of the pixel unit in a display frame may include: reset period, data writing period and light emitting period. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, each transistor included in the pixel driving circuit 20 may be a P-type transistor. Based on this, in a display frame, for the driving timing of the pixel unit, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0027] 1. Reset period.

[0028] The first reset control signal PAM[n-1] is at a low level, the first reset transistor PT14 and the second reset transistor PT11 are turned on, respectively transmitting the first power supply voltage VDD_PAM to the third node N3 to reset the third node N3 to a high potential; and transmitting the first reset voltage Vi_Ga to the second node N2 to reset the second node N2.

[0029] The second reset control signal Discharge is at a low level, the second reset transistor PT13 is turned on, and the second reset voltage Vi_A is transmitted to the anode of the light emitting device 10 to reset the anode of the light emitting device 10 .

[0030] The third reset control signal PWM[n-1] is at a low level, and the fourth reset transistor PT12 is turned on to transmit the third reset voltage Vi_Gw to the seventh node N7 to reset the seventh node N7.

[0031] 2. Data writing period.

[0032] The first scan signal PAM[n] is at a low level, turning on the first data write transistor PT7 and the first transfer transistor PT9, and transmitting the first data voltage VData_PAM to the third node N3. Since the second node N2 is reset to the first reset voltage Vi_Ga and the first node N1 is reset to the first power supply voltage VDD_PAM during the reset period, the gate voltage Vg1 of the first drive transistor PT8 (which is the voltage Vi_GA at the second node N2) is less than the source voltage Vs1 (which is the voltage VDD_PAM at the first node N1), i.e., Vgs1 = Vg1 - Vs1 = Vi_GA - VDD_PAM < 0. This turns on the first drive transistor PT8, transmitting the first power supply voltage VDD_PAM to the second node N2. Since the first transfer transistor PT9 is also turned on, shorting the fourth node N4 to the second node N2 (by diode contact), the first power supply voltage VDD_PAM is also transmitted to the second node N2. Furthermore, when VData_PAM is written to the third node N3, the voltage at the second node N2 is pulled higher due to the coupling effect of the first capacitor C2, and is higher than the source voltage Vs1 of the first driver transistor PT8, turning off the first driver transistor PT8. At this point, Vgs1 will be equal to the threshold voltage Vth1 of the first driver transistor PT8. Based on this, since the voltage at the first node N1 is always VDD_PAM, Vg1 = Vgs1 + VDD_PAM = Vth1 + VDD_PAM. Based on the above description, after the data writing period ends, the voltage at the second node N2 is Vg1 = Vgs1 + VDD_PAM = Vth1 + VDD_PAM, which is the first target voltage.

[0033] During the data writing period, the second scanning signal PWM[n] is also at a low level, the second data writing transistor PT3 and the second transmission transistor PT4 are turned on, and the second data voltage VData_PWM is transmitted to the fifth node N5, that is, the source voltage Vs2 of the second driving transistor PT3 = VData_PWM. Since the seventh node N7 is reset to the third reset voltage Vi_Gw during the aforementioned reset period, that is, the gate voltage Vg2 of the second driving transistor PT3 = Vi_Gw, then the gate voltage of the second driving transistor PT3 is less than the source voltage, and the second driving transistor PT3 is turned on, so that the second data voltage VData_PWM is transmitted to the sixth node N6. Since the second transmission transistor PT4 is also turned on, the sixth node N6 and the seventh node N7 are short-circuited (in a diode contact manner), therefore, the second data voltage VData_PWM is also transmitted to the seventh node N7, so that the second driving transistor PT3 is turned off because the gate voltage is greater than the source voltage, so that the voltage of the seventh node is the sum of the second data voltage VData_PWM and the threshold voltage Vth2 of the second driving transistor PT3, that is, Vg2 = VData_PWM + Vth2.

[0034] 3. Luminous period.

[0035] The first light-emission control signal EMPAM is at a low level, turning on the first light-emission control transistor PT10 and the voltage compensation transistor PT6. Since the voltage compensation transistor PT6 is turned on, the compensation voltage Vi_Gc is transmitted to the third node N3, and the voltage at the third node N3 becomes the compensation voltage Vi_Gc. Due to the presence of the first capacitor C2, the voltage difference between the second node N2 and the third node N3 must be maintained constant. Therefore, the voltage at the second node N2 is adjusted to Vg1 = Vth1 + VDD_PAM + Vi_Gc - VData_PAM, which is the second target voltage. During this light-emission period, the voltage at the third node N3 is reset from VData_PAM to Vi_Ga, and the voltage at the second node N2 is pulled down by the first capacitor C2, turning on the first drive transistor PT8 and causing the light-emitting device 10 to begin emitting light. The light-emitting current of the light-emitting device 10 can be generated based on the second target voltage. The formula for this light-emitting current can be derived as follows.

[0036]

[0037] It can be seen from the above formula (3) that during the light-emitting period, due to the conduction of the voltage compensation transistor PT6, after the first target voltage written during the data writing period is adjusted to the second target voltage, the calculation formula of the light-emitting current does not involve VDD_PAM and Vth1. Therefore, it is not affected by VDD_PAM and Vth1. In other words, the first power supply voltage and the threshold voltage of the first driving transistor are compensated.

[0038] At the same time, in this light-emitting period, the second light-emitting control signal EMPWM is also at a low level, and the second light-emitting transistor PT1 and the third light-emitting transistor PT5 are turned on. At the beginning of the light-emitting period, since the second driving transistor PT3 is turned off after the data writing period ends, at the beginning of the light-emitting period, the second driving transistor PT3 is turned off. Since the ramp voltage Sweep changes gradually, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the voltage changes in a negative direction. Simultaneously, due to the presence of the second capacitor C1, a stable voltage difference must be maintained between the two electrodes. Therefore, as the ramp voltage Sweep changes in a negative direction, the voltage at the seventh node N7 is gradually pulled down, causing the gate voltage Vg2 of the second driver transistor PT3 to be less than the source voltage Vs2. The second driver transistor PT3 is therefore turned on, which in turn increases the voltage at the second node N2. This also increases the gate voltage of the first driver transistor PT8, turning off the first driver transistor PT8 and stopping the light-emitting device 10 from emitting light. In this way, the on-time and off-time of the second and first driver transistors are controlled according to the ramp voltage and the second power supply voltage to control the light-emitting duration of the light-emitting device.

[0039] In this embodiment, the compensation voltage Vi_Gc and the first reset voltage Vi_Ga are different voltages, and the first reset voltage Vi_Ga can be set to be smaller than the compensation voltage Vi_Gc to better reset the second node N2 during the reset period. The first reset voltage Vi_Ga and the third reset voltage Vi_Gw can be the same voltage, for example, Vi_G.

[0040] In this embodiment, for Figure 2The display panel shown in FIG. 1 turns on the voltage compensation transistor PT6 during the light-emitting period, lowering the voltage at the third node N3 and adjusting the voltage at the second node N2 to a second target voltage. This allows the light-emitting current driving the light-emitting device 10 during the light-emitting period to be solely dependent on the compensation voltage Vi_Gc at the third node N3 and the first data voltage VData_PAM, without being affected by the first power supply voltage VDD_PAM and Vth1. This effectively alleviates the display unevenness problem of the display panel caused by power supply voltage fluctuations. Furthermore, threshold voltage compensation can be performed on the first and second drive transistors PT8 and PT3 using diode contacts, eliminating the display unevenness problem of the display panel caused by threshold voltage fluctuations due to process factors and other factors.
