However, when an element or layer is referred to as being "directly on" another element or layer, "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there is no intervening element or layer. For this reason, the term "connection" may refer to a physical, electrical and / or fluid connection with or without an intervening element. Further, the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are not limited to the three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, such as an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis, and may be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis may be perpendicular to each other, or may be different directions that are not perpendicular to each other.

[0051] Although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various types of elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element from another element.

[0068] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of an example of a pixel circuit P of a display device.

[0069] refer to Figure 2, the pixel circuit P may include a driving transistor T1 configured to generate (or transmit) a driving current, a first capacitor C1 including a first electrode electrically connected to a control electrode of the driving transistor T1 and a second electrode electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1, a write transistor T2 configured to write a data voltage VDATA to the first capacitor C1 in response to a write gate signal GW, a first emission transistor T3 configured to provide a first power supply voltage ELVDD (e.g., a high power supply voltage) to the second electrode of the first capacitor C1 in response to a first emission signal EM1, a first initialization transistor T4 configured to provide a first initialization voltage VINT to the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 in response to an initialization gate signal GI, a second initialization transistor T5 configured to provide a second initialization voltage VAINT to the second electrode of the driving transistor T1 in response to a bias gate signal GB, and a light emitting element EE configured to receive the driving current to emit light. According to an embodiment, the pixel circuit P may further include a second capacitor C2 including a first electrode configured to receive the first power supply voltage ELVDD and a second electrode electrically connected to the second electrode of the first capacitor C1.

[0070] For example, the driving transistor T1 may include a control electrode connected to the first node N1, a first electrode connected to the second node N2, and a second electrode connected to the third node N3. The write transistor T2 may include a control electrode configured to receive a write gate signal GW, a first electrode configured to receive a data voltage VDATA, and a second electrode connected to the first node N1. The first emission transistor T3 may include a control electrode configured to receive a first emission signal EM1, a first electrode configured to receive a first power supply voltage ELVDD, and a second electrode connected to the second node N2. The first initialization transistor T4 may include a control electrode configured to receive an initialization gate signal GI, a first electrode configured to receive a first initialization voltage VINT, and a second electrode connected to the first node N1. The second initialization transistor T5 may include a control electrode configured to receive a bias gate signal GB, a first electrode configured to receive a second initialization voltage VAINT, and a second electrode connected to the third node N3. The first capacitor C1 may include a first electrode connected to the first node N1 and a second electrode connected to the second node N2. The second capacitor C2 may include a first electrode configured to receive a first power supply voltage ELVDD and a second electrode connected to the second node N2. The light emitting element EE may include a first electrode connected to the third node N3 and a second electrode configured to receive a second power voltage ELVSS (eg, a low power voltage).

[0071] According to one embodiment, the first initialization voltage VINT may be equal to the second initialization voltage VAINT. According to one embodiment, the second initialization voltage VAINT may be equal to the second power supply voltage ELVSS.

[0072] The driving transistor T1, the writing transistor T2, the first emission transistor T3, the first initialization transistor T4 and the second initialization transistor T5 may be implemented as p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistors. Figure 3 VL) can be an activation level, and a high voltage level (e.g., Figure 3 The VH of the PMOS transistor may be a deactivation level. For example, when the signal applied to the control electrode of the PMOS transistor has a low voltage level, the PMOS transistor may be turned on. For example, when the signal applied to the control electrode of the PMOS transistor has a high voltage level, the PMOS transistor may be turned off. The activation period may be a period with an activation level when the transistor is turned on, and the deactivation period may be a period with a deactivation level when the transistor is turned off.

[0073] However, the present disclosure may not be limited thereto. For example, the driving transistor T1 , the writing transistor T2 , the first emission transistor T3 , the first initialization transistor T4 , and the second initialization transistor T5 may be implemented as n-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistors.

[0074] Figure 3 Is shown driving Figure 2 A schematic timing diagram of an example of a pixel circuit P is shown in FIG.

[0075] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in the first period P1, the initialization gate signal GI and the bias gate signal GB may have an activation period, and the write gate signal GW and the first emission signal EM1 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first initialization transistor T4 and the second initialization transistor T5 may be turned on, the first initialization voltage VINT may be applied to the first node N1, and the second initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the third node N3. Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 may be VINT, and the voltage of the second node N2 may be VAINT-VTH, where VINT may be the first initialization voltage, VAINT may be the second initialization voltage, and VTH may be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1.

[0076] In the second period P2 after the first period P1, the write gate signal GW may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB, and the first emission signal EM1 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the write transistor T2 may be turned on, and the data voltage VDATA may be applied to the first node N1. In addition, according to the coupling of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the second node N2 may increase by (C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2))×(VDATA-VINT). Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 may be VDATA, and the voltage of the second node N2 may be VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2))×(VDATA-VINT), where VDATA may be the data voltage, VAINT may be the second initialization voltage, VTH may be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, C_C1 may be the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and C_C2 may be the capacitance of the second capacitor C2.

[0077] In a third period P3 after the second period P2, the first emission signal EM1 may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB, and the write gate signal GW may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first emission transistor T3 may be turned on, and the first power supply voltage ELVDD may be applied to the second node N2. In addition, according to the coupling of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the first node N1 may increase by ELVDD-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2))×(VDATA-VINT)). Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 can be VDATA+ELVDD-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2))×(VDATA-VINT)), and the voltage of the second node N2 can be ELVDD, where VDATA can be the data voltage, ELVDD can be the first power supply voltage, VAINT can be the second initialization voltage, VTH can be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, C_C1 can be the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, and C_C2 can be the capacitance of the second capacitor C2.

[0078] In the third period P3 in which the light emitting element EE emits light, the driving transistor T1 may generate a driving current corresponding to the gate-source voltage, and the gate-source voltage may be VDATA-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2))×(VDATA-VINT)). Since the gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T1 includes a data voltage component and a threshold voltage component, the driving current may include a data voltage component but not a threshold voltage component. In other words, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 may be compensated.

The second electrode of the first capacitor C1 may also be electrically connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 through the second emission transistor T6 when the second emission transistor T6 is activated. According to one embodiment, the pixel circuit P' may further include a second capacitor C2 including a first electrode configured to receive the first power supply voltage ELVDD and a second electrode electrically connected to the second electrode of the first capacitor C1.

The low voltage level may be an activation level, and the high voltage level may be a deactivation level. For example, in the case where the signal applied to the control electrode of the PMOS transistor has a low voltage level, the PMOS transistor may be turned on. For example, in the case where the signal applied to the control electrode of the PMOS transistor has a high voltage level, the PMOS transistor may be turned off.

[0085] However, the present disclosure may not be limited thereto. For example, the driving transistor T1 , the writing transistor T2 , the first emission transistor T3 , the first initialization transistor T4 , the second initialization transistor T5 , and the second emission transistor T6 may be implemented as NMOS transistors.

[0087] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in the first period P1, the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB, and the second emission signal EM2 may have an activation period, and the write gate signal GW and the first emission signal EM1 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first initialization transistor T4, the second initialization transistor T5, and the second emission transistor T6 may be turned on, the first initialization voltage VINT may be applied to the first node N1, and the second initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the third node N3. Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 may be VINT, and the voltage of the second node N2 may be VAINT-VTH, where VINT may be the first initialization voltage, VAINT may be the second initialization voltage, and VTH may be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1.

[0088] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7In the second period P2 after the first period P1, the write gate signal GW may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB, the first emission signal EM1 and the second emission signal EM2 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the write transistor T2 may be turned on, and the data voltage VDATA may be applied to the first node N1. In addition, the voltage of the second node N2 may increase by (C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2+C_C3))×(VDATA-VINT) according to the coupling of the first capacitor C1, and may increase by (C_C3 / (C_Cl+C_C2+C_C3))×(VH-VL) according to the coupling of the third capacitor C3. Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 can be VDATA, and the voltage of the second node N2 can be VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2+C_C3))×(VDATA-VINT)+(C_C3 / (C_Cl+C_C2+C_C3))×(VH-VL), where VDATA can be the data voltage, VAINT can be the second initialization voltage, VTH can be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, C_C1 can be the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, C_C2 can be the capacitance of the second capacitor C2, C_C3 can be the capacitance of the third capacitor C3, VH can be the high voltage level, and VL can be the low voltage level.

[0089] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8, in a third period P3 after the second period P2, the first emission signal EM1 may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB, the write gate signal GW and the second emission signal EM2 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first emission transistor T3 may be turned on, and the first power supply voltage ELVDD may be applied to the second node N2. In addition, according to the coupling of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the first node N1 may increase by ELVDD-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2+C_C3))×(VDATA-VINT)+(C_C3 / (C_Cl+C_C2+C_C3))×(VH-VL)). Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 can be VDATA+ELVDD-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2+C_C3))×(VDATA-VINT)+(C_C3 / (C_Cl+C_C2+C_C3))×(VH-VL)), and the voltage of the second node N2 can be ELVDD, where VDATA can be the data voltage, ELVDD can be the first power supply voltage, VAINT can be the second initialization voltage, VTH can be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, C_C1 can be the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, C_C2 can be the capacitance of the second capacitor C2, C_C3 can be the capacitance of the third capacitor C3, VH can be the high voltage level, and VL can be the low voltage level.

[0090] refer to Figure 5 and Fig. 9 , in a fourth period P4 after the third period P3, the driving transistor T1 may generate a driving current corresponding to the gate-source voltage, and the gate-source voltage may be ELVDD-(VAINT-VTH+(C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C2+C_C3))×(VDATA-VINT)+(C_C3 / (C_Cl+C_C2+C_C3))×(VH-VL)). Since the gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T1 includes a data voltage component and a threshold voltage component, the driving current may include a data voltage component but not a threshold voltage component. In other words, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 may be compensated.

[0091] Fig.10 1 is a schematic timing diagram showing an example of a driving pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0092] Since the pixel circuit according to the embodiment may have the same Figure 4 The configuration of the pixel circuit P′ is substantially the same as the configuration of EMBODIMENT 2, so the same reference numerals and reference signs will be used for the same or similar components, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0093] refer to Fig.10 , the length of the activation period of the bias gate signal GB may be longer than the length of the activation period of the initialization gate signal GI. In order to ensure the time when the voltage corresponding to the second initialization voltage VAINT is charged in all the capacitors of the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, the length of the activation period of the bias gate signal GB may be increased.

[0098] According to one embodiment, the first initialization voltage VINT may be equal to the second initialization voltage VAINT. According to one embodiment, the second initialization voltage VAINT may be equal to the second power supply voltage ELVSS.

[0099] The driving transistor T1, the writing transistor T2, the first emission transistor T3, the first initialization transistor T4, the second initialization transistor T5, the second emission transistor T6 and the compensation reference transistor T7 may be implemented as PMOS transistors. The low voltage level may be an activation level, and the high voltage level may be a deactivation level.

For example, in the case where the signal applied to the control electrode of the PMOS transistor has a high voltage level, the PMOS transistor may be turned off.

[0100] However, the present disclosure may not be limited thereto. For example, the driving transistor T1 , the writing transistor T2 , the first emission transistor T3 , the first initialization transistor T4 , the second initialization transistor T5 , the second emission transistor T6 , and the compensation reference transistor T7 may be implemented as NMOS transistors.

[0101] Fig.12 Is shown driving Fig.11 A schematic timing diagram of an example of a pixel circuit P" is shown in FIG. Fig.13 It shows that the first period P1 is driven Fig.11 A schematic diagram of an example of a pixel circuit P" is shown in FIG. Fig.14 It shows that the driving Fig.11 A schematic diagram of an example of a pixel circuit P" is shown in FIG. Fig.15 It shows that the driving Fig.11 Schematic diagram of an example of a pixel circuit P".

[0102] refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 , in the first period P1, the initialization gate signal GI and the bias gate signal GB may have an activation period, and the write gate signal GW and the first emission signal EM1 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first initialization transistor T4 and the second initialization transistor T5 may be turned on, the first initialization voltage VINT may be applied to the first node N1, and the second initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the third node N3. Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 may be VINT, and the voltage of the second node N2 may be VAINT-VTH, where VINT may be the first initialization voltage, VAINT may be the second initialization voltage, and VTH may be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1.

[0103] refer to Fig.12 and Fig.14, in the second period P2 after the first period P1, the bias gate signal GB and the write gate signal GW may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI and the first emission signal EM1 may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the write transistor T2, the second initialization transistor T5, and the compensation reference transistor T7 may be turned on, the data voltage VDATA may be applied to the first node N1, the second initialization voltage VAINT may be applied to the third node N3, and the first power supply voltage ELVDD may be applied to the fourth node N4. In addition, the voltage of the first node N1 may be VDATA, and due to the current path formed by the driving transistor T1, the voltage of the second node N2 may be VDATA-VTH, where VDATA may be the data voltage, VTH may be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1, and ELVDD may be the first power supply voltage.

[0104] refer to Fig.12 and Fig.15 In the third period P3 after the second period P2, the first emission signal EM1 may have an activation period, and the initialization gate signal GI, the bias gate signal GB and the write gate signal GW may have a deactivation period. Accordingly, the first emission transistor T3 and the second emission transistor T6 may be turned on.

[0105] In the second period P2, the charge amount of the first capacitor C1 may be C_C1×(ELVDD-(VDATA-VTH)), and the charge amount of the third capacitor C3 may be C_C3×(VDATA-ELVDD). In addition, without considering the coupling of the first capacitor C1, in the third period P3, the charge amount of the first capacitor C1 may be C_C1×(V_N1-ELVDD), and the charge amount of the third capacitor C3 may be C_C3×(V_N1-ELVDD). In addition, since the sum of the charge amounts of the first capacitor C1 and the third capacitor C3 in the second period P2 may be equal to the sum of the charge amounts of the first capacitor C1 and the third capacitor C3 in the third period P3 before considering the coupling of the first capacitor C1, V_N1 may be (2×C_C1×ELVDD+(C_C3-C_C1)×VDATA+C_C1×VTH) / (C_C1+C_C3). In addition, according to the coupling of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the first node N1 may increase by (C_C1 / (C_C1+C_C3))×(ELVDD-(VDATA-VTH)). Therefore, the voltage of the first node N1 may be (2×C_C1×ELVDD+(C_C3-C_C1)×VDATA+C_C1×VTH) / (C_C1+C_C3)+(C_C1 / (C_Cl+C_C3))×(ELVDD-(VDATA-VTH)), and the voltage of the second node N2 may be ELVDD. In summary, the voltage of the first node N1 can be ((3×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3))×ELVDD+((C_C3-2×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3))×VDATA+((2×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3))×VTH, where V_N1 can be the voltage of the first node N1 in the third period P3 before considering the coupling of the first capacitor C1, C_C1 can be the capacitance of the first capacitor C1, C_C3 can be the capacitance of the third capacitor C3, ELVDD can be the first power supply voltage, and VTH can be the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1.

[0106] In the third period P3 when the light emitting element EE emits light, the driving transistor T1 may generate a driving current corresponding to the gate-source voltage, and the gate-source voltage may be ((3×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3)-1)×ELVDD+((C_C3-2×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3))×VDATA+((2×C_C1) / (C_C1+C_C3))×VTH. Since the gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T1 includes a data voltage component and a threshold voltage component, the driving current may include a data voltage component and a threshold voltage component having a value less than the threshold voltage. In other words, a portion of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 may be compensated.
