Abstract
Description
Pixel driving circuit and driving method thereof, display panel and display device Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a pixel driving circuit and a driving method thereof, a display panel, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) devices have many advantages, such as being fully solid-state, self-luminous, wide viewing angle, wide color gamut, fast response speed, high luminous efficiency, high brightness, high contrast, ultra-thin, ultra-light, low power consumption, wide operating temperature range, the ability to produce large-size and flexible panels, and simple manufacturing process. They can achieve truly flexible displays and have received increasing attention and attention in the market in recent years.
[0003] Organic light-emitting display devices emit light through pixel drive circuits. When preparing an organic light-emitting display device, multiple pixel drive circuits are first formed in an array on a substrate. Then, an organic light-emitting layer is formed on each pixel drive circuit. The organic light-emitting layer forms multiple independent light-emitting sub-pixels. One pixel drive circuit is electrically connected to each light-emitting sub-pixel. When the pixel drive circuit is in operation, it can stimulate the corresponding light-emitting sub-pixel to emit light. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a pixel drive circuit in the prior art; Figure 2 shows a detailed schematic diagram of the circuit of the initialization unit in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the pixel drive circuit includes an initialization unit, a data writing unit, a compensation unit, a storage capacitor, and a drive transistor. The initialization unit is used to initialize the potential of the first node n1 with an initialization voltage. The initialization unit includes an initialization transistor T1'. Due to the inherent characteristics of the initialization transistor T1', when the initialization transistor T1' is turned off, there will still be leakage current, which will cause the potential of the n1 node to fluctuate. The fluctuation of the n1 node potential will affect the driving current of the drive unit during light emission, thereby affecting the brightness of the light-emitting element. Especially when the display frequency is low, flicker that can be detected by the human eye will occur, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0051] Figure 4 shows a specific equivalent schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The second node N2 is connected to the first terminal of the light-emitting element, and the second terminal of the light-emitting element is connected to the second power supply voltage signal line ELVSS.
[0053] The data writing unit includes a third transistor T3, a control terminal of the third transistor T3 being electrically connected to a third scan signal line, a first terminal of the third transistor T3 being electrically connected to a data line, and a second terminal of the third transistor T3 being electrically connected to a first terminal of a driving transistor T7. The third scan signal line transmits a third scan signal pSCAN1(n).
[0054] The compensation unit includes a fourth transistor T4, a control terminal of the fourth transistor T4 being electrically connected to a fourth scan signal line, a first terminal of the fourth transistor T4 being electrically connected to a second terminal of a driving transistor T7, and a second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 being electrically connected to a first node N1; and a control terminal of the driving transistor T7 being electrically connected to the first node N1. The fourth scan signal line transmits a fourth scan signal nSCAN(n).
[0055] The light-emitting control unit includes a fifth transistor T5 and a sixth transistor T6; wherein, the control end of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the light-emitting control signal line, the first end of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first power supply voltage signal line, and the second end of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the first end of the driving transistor T7; the first power supply voltage signal line is used to transmit the first power supply voltage signal ELVDD.
[0056] The control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the light emission control signal line, the first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T7, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the second node N2. The light emission control signal line transmits the light emission control signal EN(n).
[0057] The pixel driving circuit further includes a reset unit configured to transmit a second initialization voltage to the first terminal of the driving transistor in response to the second scan signal pSCAN2(n) to initialize the potential of the first terminal of the driving transistor.
[0058] The reset unit includes an eighth transistor T8, a control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 being electrically connected to the second scan signal line, a first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 being electrically connected to the second initialization voltage signal line, and a second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 being electrically connected to the first terminal of the drive transistor T7.

[0059] It should be noted that the transistors in this embodiment are all thin-film transistors. A thin-film transistor has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are N-type transistors, and the remaining transistors are P-type transistors. Since N-type transistors have low channel leakage, when the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 are configured as N-type transistors, the leakage current of the first transistor T1 and the fourth transistor T4 is reduced, which can further reduce the fluctuation of the N1 node. In actual applications, except for the driving transistor T7 being a P-type transistor, the remaining transistors can be arbitrarily configured as P-type or N-type transistors, and those skilled in the art can configure them according to actual needs.
[0062] FIG5 shows a driving timing diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG5 , when a frame is written for display, the driving method of the pixel driving circuit includes the following steps:
[0063] First time period t1: the light emitting control signal EN(n) is a high level signal, and the light emitting element OLED stops emitting light.
[0064] Second time period t2 (initialization stage): the first scan signal nSCAN(n-1) is a high-level signal, and the second scan signal pSCAN2(n) is a low-level signal. At this time, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the first initialization voltage Vint1 is transmitted to the second node N2 through the second transistor T2 to initialize the potential of the second node N2 and improve the bias state of the first end of the light-emitting element OLED. The first initialization voltage Vint1 is also transmitted to the first node N1 through the first transistor T1 to initialize the potential of the first node N1.
[0065] The second initialization voltage Vint2 is transmitted to the first terminal of the driving transistor T7 via the eighth transistor T8. Since the driving transistor T7 is in an on state due to the potential of the first node N1, the second initialization voltage Vint2 can initialize the first and second terminals of the driving transistor T7, thereby improving the bias state of the first and second terminals of the driving transistor T7. During the initialization phase, the potentials of the three terminals of the driving transistor T7 can be reset, improving the bias state of the three terminals of the driving transistor T7 and reducing the threshold voltage drift of the driving transistor T7.
[0066] The third time period t3 (data writing stage and threshold compensation stage): the third scan signal pSCAN1(n) is a low-level signal, and the fourth scan signal nSCAN(n) is a low-level signal, then the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, and the data voltage DATA and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T7 are written to the first node N1 through the driving transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8, and stored in the storage capacitor C1.
[0067] Fourth time period t4 (reset phase): the second scan signal pSCAN2(n) is a low-level signal, the second transistor T2 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the first initialization voltage Vint1 is transmitted to the second node N2 through the second transistor T2 to initialize the first end of the light-emitting element OLED and improve the bias state of the first end of the light-emitting element OLED; the second initialization voltage Vint2 is transmitted to the first end of the driving transistor T7 through the eighth transistor T8 to initialize the potential of the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7 and improve the bias state of the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7, so that before the light-emitting element OLED emits light, the bias state of the driving transistor T7 is consistent.
[0068] Fifth time period t5 (light emitting stage): the light emitting control signal EN(n) is at a low level, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the driving current of the driving transistor T7 is transmitted to the light emitting element OLED to drive the light emitting element OLED to emit light.
[0069] Furthermore, when the screen is performing low-frequency display (frame refresh rate is less than 60Hz), for example, 30Hz, a hold frame is included between two adjacent write frames, and no new data voltage is rewritten during the write frame phase. As shown in FIG4 , the write frame cycle specifically includes the following steps:
[0070] Sixth time period t6: the light emitting control signal EN(n) is a high level signal, and the light emitting element OLED stops emitting light.
[0071] The seventh time period t7 (first reset): the second scan signal pSCAN2 (n) is a low-level signal, and the second initialization voltage Vint2 is transmitted to the first end of the driving transistor T7 through the eighth transistor T8. Since the driving transistor T7 is affected by the potential of the first node N1 and is in the on state, the second initialization voltage Vint2 can initialize the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7, thereby improving the bias state of the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7.
[0072] The eighth time period t8 (second reset): the second scan signal pSCAN2 (n) is a low-level signal, and the second initialization voltage Vint2 is transmitted to the first end of the driving transistor T7 through the eighth transistor T8. Since the driving transistor T7 is affected by the potential of the first node N1 and is in the on state, the second initialization voltage Vint2 can initialize the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7, thereby improving the bias state of the first end and the second end of the driving transistor T7.
[0073] Before emitting light in the writing frame stage, the potentials of the first and second terminals of the driving transistor T7 are reset twice, and the potential of the anode of the light-emitting element OLED is reset, so that the first and second terminals of the driving transistor T7 and the anode of the light-emitting element are fully reset, so that the potential of the first node N1 is stable, and the display of the light-emitting element OLED is stable during the light-emitting stage.
[0074] Ninth time period t9 (light emitting stage): the light emitting control signal EN(n) is at a low level, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the driving current of the driving transistor T7 is transmitted to the light emitting element OLED to drive the light emitting element OLED to emit light.
[0075] At this point, all steps for displaying one frame are completed. When the next frame is displayed, the steps described above are repeated. When writing a frame or holding a frame, the first end of the light-emitting element OLED and the first end and the second end of the driving transistor are reset twice before the light-emitting element OLED emits light, so that the first end of the light-emitting element OLED and the first end and the second end of the driving transistor are fully reset, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel during display. The first end and the second end of the first transistor T1 are electrically connected to the first node N1 and the anode of the light-emitting element OLED, respectively. When emitting light, the anode potential of the OLED is higher than the potential of the first initialization signal end (outputting the first initialization voltage Vint), thereby reducing the potential difference between the two ends of the first transistor T1, thereby reducing the leakage current from the first node N1 to Vint1 during the light-emitting stage, thereby reducing the potential fluctuation of the first node N1, reducing the large reduction in panel luminance during low-frequency display, and improving the obvious flicker problem that occurs during low-refresh display.
[0076] An embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel including the pixel driving circuit as described above, which can achieve all the technical effects of the above pixel driving circuit and will not be described in detail here.
[0077] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a display device including the display panel described above. This display device can also achieve all the technical effects of the aforementioned pixel driving circuit, and will not be further described here. The display device can be a mobile phone, computer, tablet, camera, vehicle display, billboard, television, etc.
[0078] The pixel driving circuit, driving method thereof, and display panel provided by the present invention have the following advantages:
[0079] The pixel driving circuit includes an initialization unit, a data writing unit, a compensation unit, a driving transistor, a storage capacitor, a light-emitting control unit and a light-emitting element; wherein the initialization unit resets the potential of the first node and the second node with a first initialization voltage in response to a first scanning signal and a second scanning signal; wherein the first node is the first end of the storage capacitor, and the second node is the first end of the light-emitting element; the data writing unit and the compensation unit are used to store the data voltage and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in the storage capacitor; the light-emitting control unit is used to output the output current of the driving transistor to the light-emitting element to control the light emission of the light-emitting element. The first end and the second end of the first transistor of the present invention are electrically connected to the first node and the anode of the light-emitting element respectively. In the light-emitting stage, the anode potential of the light-emitting element is higher than the potential of the output first initialization voltage Vint, which reduces the voltage difference between the first end and the second end of the first transistor T1, thereby reducing the leakage current of the first transistor, thereby reducing the leakage current of the first node, improving the flickering problem of the panel during low-frequency display, and improving the display effect of the panel.
[0080] The above is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention should not be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
