The third pixel circuit C may include a third driving transistor and a third organic It may be a pixel circuit including a light emitting diode.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second organic light emitting diode has a high light emitting brightness relative to the energy consumption. Therefore, the second organic light-emitting diode is assumed to contain an organic material with high luminous efficiency. , even if the area of ​​the light-emitting surface is smaller than that of the first organic light-emitting diode or the third organic light-emitting diode. Therefore, in FIG. 2, the area of ​​the second pixel circuit B is larger than that of the first pixel circuit A and the third pixel circuit C. It is shown smaller.

[0053] Green organic light-emitting diodes usually have the highest luminance relative to energy consumption. Thus, for example, the second organic light-emitting diode may be a green organic light-emitting diode. In this case, the first organic light emitting diode and the third organic light emitting diode may be The first organic light emitting diode and the second organic light emitting diode may be red and blue organic light emitting diodes. The first and second organic light-emitting diodes may be blue and red organic light-emitting diodes, respectively. stomach.

[0054] However, the present invention is not limited to this example. It is possible that a second organic light-emitting diode may be developed, in which case, for example, the second organic light-emitting diode may be blue. In this case, the first organic light emitting diode and the third organic light emitting diode may be The diodes may be red and green organic light emitting diodes, respectively. The organic light-emitting diode and the third organic light-emitting diode are green and red organic light-emitting diodes, respectively. It may also be a diode.

[0055] Similarly, for example, the second organic light emitting diode may be a red organic light emitting diode.

[0056] However, the second organic light-emitting diode is not necessarily determined based on the luminous efficiency. 2, the sum of the number of first pixel circuits A and the number of third pixel circuits C is Therefore, if the luminous efficiency of each organic material is similar, In order to match the light-emitting area of ​​each color, even if the area of ​​the light-emitting surface is determined as shown in Figure 2, good.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display device 9 includes a plurality of data lines, 1 data line Dj, D(j+2), ... and 2 data lines D(j+1), D(j+3), .... The first data lines Dj, D(j+2), ... and the second data lines Dj, D(j+3), ... may be configured to include: The data lines D(j+1), D(j+3), . . . are different data lines and alternately For example, the first data lines Dj, D(j+2), ... may be odd-numbered data lines. The second data lines D(j+1), D(j+3), ... are even-numbered data lines. It is also possible.

[0058] The first pixel circuit A and the third pixel circuit C are connected to the first data lines Dj, D(j+2), . . . It may be continued.

[0060] In the pixel section 50 of FIG. 2, the scanning line of the previous stage is The figure shows the signal being input to each pixel circuit of the current stage. The scanning line S(i-1) of the current stage is connected to each pixel circuit A, B, C connected to the scanning line S(i) of the current stage. is connected.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the signal applied to the scan line of the previous stage is the first signal for the pixel circuit of the current stage. 1 may be used as an initialization signal. For specific connection relationships, see Figure 4 and subsequent figures. This will be discussed in more detail below.

[0062] However, the signal used as the first initialization signal is the signal applied to the previous scanning line. Alternatively, a dedicated initialization line may be provided separately, independent of the scanning line. The present embodiment is not limited to the case where the scanning line of the previous stage is always input to each pixel circuit of the current stage. It cannot be done.

[0063] The structure of the pixel section 50 as shown in FIG. 2 may be called a pentile structure. .

[0064] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a pixel unit according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The pixel section 50' in FIG. 3 is similar to the pixel section 50 in FIG. 2 in terms of electrical connection relationship and pixel circuit configuration. Since they are the same, a duplicated description will be omitted.

[0066] The pixel section 50' of FIG. 3 differs from the pixel section 50 of FIG. 2 in that the light-emitting surface of each pixel is a diamond. The structure of the pixel portion 50' in FIG. 3 may be a diamond pentatile ( This may also be called the diamond pentile structure.

[0067] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the difference in light emission timing for each pixel.

[0068] FIG. 4 shows the difference in light emission timing for each pixel when the embodiment of the present invention is not applied. There are.

[0069] For example, to express gray, the first organic light-emitting diode of the first pixel circuit A the second organic light-emitting diode of the second pixel circuit B, and the organic light-emitting diode of the third pixel circuit C. The brightness of each of the modes must be combined at a certain level.

[0070] However, in the structure of the pixel section 50, 50' as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second active element of the second pixel circuit B The capacitance per unit area of ​​the LED is large, and the driving current is small. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the light emitting point of the second organic light emitting diode is the most It may be delayed.

[0071] Therefore, initially, the first organic light emitting diode of the first pixel circuit A and the second organic light emitting diode of the third pixel circuit C Only the third organic light emitting diode can emit light. If the first organic light emitting diode emits red light, If the third organic light-emitting diode is a blue organic light-emitting diode, The color the user sees will be purple. This allows for a gray screen to be scrolled. However, there is a problem in that a color bleeding phenomenon occurs in which the user sees purple first.

The capacitance Co2 of OLED2 is precharged to a voltage value higher than the capacitance Co1. Therefore, in the light emitting period after the second initialization period, This has the advantage that the light emitting diode OLED2 can emit light at an earlier time.

[0091] For reference, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the driving transistors M1 and M1' are Since the voltage source applied to the gate terminal is the same as the first initialization voltage source VINT1, There is no change in the effect due to the transistors M1 and M1'.

[0092] FIG. 5 shows only the first pixel circuit PXij and the second pixel circuit PXi(j+1).

[0094] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method of driving the pixel circuit of FIG.

[0095] First, at time t1, the previous data voltage DATA(i-1) is applied via the first data line Dj. j is supplied, and the previous data voltage DATA(i-1) is supplied via the second data line D(j+1). At this time, the previous scanning line S(i-1) is supplied with a low-level signal. A signal is applied, turning on transistors M4 and M4'.

[0096] Therefore, the gate terminal of the first drive transistor M1 and the gate terminal of the second drive transistor M1' A first initialization voltage source VINT1 is connected to the gate terminal of each of the driving transistors M1 and M1'. The period between time t1 and time t2 is called the first initial This can be called the transformation period.

[0097] During the first initialization period, the transistors other than the transistors M4 and M4' are turned on. It may be in a non-transitory state.

[0098] Next, at time t2, a high-level previous scanning signal is applied to the previous scanning line S(i-1). The transistors M4 and M4' are turned off. The gate voltage values ​​of the storage capacitors Cst1 and Cst1' are Hold.

[0099] Next, at time t3, the data voltage DATAij of the current stage is applied via the first data line Dj. The data voltage DATAi(j+1) of the current stage is supplied via the second data line D(j+1). At this time, a low level scan signal of the current stage is applied to the scan line Si of the current stage. , transistors M2, M3, M7, M2', M3' and M7' are turned on.

[0100] Transistors M3 and M3' are turned on, causing the respective drive transistors M1 and M 1' is diode-connected. The voltage corresponding to the data voltage DATAij of the current stage is The signal is input to the gate terminal of the first drive transistor M1 via the transistors M2, M1, and M3. Also, a voltage corresponding to the data voltage DATAi(j+1) of the current stage is applied to the transistor M 2', M1', and M3', and is input to the gate terminal of the second driving transistor M1'. .

[0101] The transistor M7 is turned on, and the second initialization voltage source VINT2 is applied to the first organic light-emitting diode (OLED). It is connected to the anode of the diode OLED1. Also, the transistor M7' is turned on. The first initialization voltage source VINT1 is connected to the anode of the second organic light-emitting diode OLED2. As described above, the capacitance C of the second organic light-emitting diode OLED2 O2 is precharged to a higher voltage value than capacitance Co1.

[0102] The period between time t3 and time t4 is referred to as a data writing period and a second initialization period. During this period, the transistors M6 and M6' are turned off. Therefore, the voltage required for writing data and the voltage required for initialization are separated and do not affect each other. do not have.

[0103] However, in this embodiment, the second initialization period is set to the same period as the data writing period. The second initialization period begins with the transistors M7 and M7' being connected to the previous scanning line S(i-1). The interval may be set in various ways.

[0104] Then, at time t4, transistors M2, M3, M7, M2', M3', and M7' are turned on. Each storage capacitor Cst1 is connected to the corresponding drive transistor M1, M1'. The voltage applied to the gate terminal is maintained.

[0105] Next, at time t5, a low-level voltage is applied to the light emission control line Ei, and the transistor M5, M6, M5', and M6' are turned on. Therefore, the voltage source ELVDD is turned off. A current path is formed in ELVSS and becomes conductive, and the gates of the drive transistors M1 and M1' The magnitude of the drive current is determined according to the difference between the voltage and the source voltage.

[0106] The light emission time of the organic light emitting diodes OLED1 and OLED2 depends on the magnitude of each driving current and each The capacitances Co1 and Co2 can be determined by the magnitude of the second capacitance. The capacitance Co2 of the light-emitting diode OLED2 is higher than the capacitance Co1. Since the second organic light emitting diode OLED2 is precharged to the voltage value, the light emitting point of the second organic light emitting diode OLED2 is Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the color bleeding phenomenon explained in Figure 3.

That is, the on-bias voltage (on-bias vol tage) becomes larger than the on-bias voltage of the first drive transistor M1.

As shown in the figure, the magnitude of the drive current value depends on the difference between the gate voltage and the source voltage, VGS (V). Represents ID(A).

[0116] When a voltage PT1 corresponding to an arbitrary grayscale value is applied to the second driving transistor M1′, The level CL1 of the drive current flowing through the transistor 1 is indicated by a straight line.

[0117] As the light emission period progresses, the characteristic curve moves to the right, and the degree to which it moves to the right depends on the on-bias The increase in the voltage can be proportional to the increase in the power supply voltage.

[0118] FIG. 8 shows an example of a characteristic curve CC2 after 16 ms has elapsed since the light emission period. The absolute value of the voltage PT2 decreases due to the decrease in the amount of charge stored in the storage capacitor Cst1'. Although the characteristic curve CC2 has shifted to the right compared to the characteristic curve CC1, the Verify that the drive current level CL2 after ms has increased from the previous level CL1. can be done.
