DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.


A display device, a pixel compensation circuit and a driving method thereof according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.


The magnetic hysteresis effect and the reasons causing the short-term after images will be introduced hereinafter, in prior to the introduction of a pixel driving circuit for a display panel and a light emitting diode according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.


In the following embodiments, P-type thin film transistors will be taken as an example for illustrating. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to this, and N-type thin film transistors may also be used.


Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, hole detrapping occurs when an image changes from white to gray (e.g., arrows 1 and 2), or hole trapping occurs when the image changes from black to gray (as indicated by arrows 3 and 4). The magnetic hysteresis effect is mainly caused by a shift of a threshold voltage Vth resulting from the hole detrapping/trapping (or residual movable ions). In FIG. 2A, the smaller the gate-source voltage Vgs is, the more charges (holes in this embodiment) are trapped at the interface between the active layer and the gate insulating layer (ACT/GI), and thus, the threshold voltage Vth will be negatively biased. When the gate-source voltage Vgs gets larger, the charges (holes) trapped at the ACT/GI interface will be detrapped, and thus the threshold voltage Vth will be positively biased. In a currently used compensation circuit, because the gate-source voltages Vgs in the initialization phase are different when switching between different pictures, the states of holes trapping/detrapping are different, which results in short-term residue images. In addition, FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of the hole-trapping mode and hole-detrapping mode, respectively.


To overcome the above-described problem, the present disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit for a display panel and a light emitting diode.



FIG. 3 is a circuit schematic diagram of a pixel compensation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the embodiment, the initialization circuit 10 writes an initial signal to the anode of the light emitting element D1 under the control of a first control signal. A first terminal of the storage circuit C1 is coupled to the gate electrode of the drive transistor M7. When the second transistor M2 and the fifth transistor M5 is turned on, the initial signal is written to the gate and source electrodes of the drive transistor M7 and the first terminal of the storage circuit 1. The first data writing circuit 40 writes a data signal to a second terminal of the storage circuit C1 under the control of a second control signal. The second data writing circuit 50 changes a potential of the second terminal of the storage circuit C1 under the control of a second write control signal so that a potential of the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 is associated with the data signal. The compensation circuit 20 charges the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 under the control of the first control signal, so that the potential of the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 is associated with a threshold voltage of the drive transistor M7. The light emitting control circuit 30 forms a current path flowing through a light emitting element D1 under the control of a light emitting control signal.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the light emitting control circuit 30 includes a first terminal to a fourth terminal, a first control terminal and a second control terminal. The first terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a first terminal of the third transistor M3) is coupled to a first power supply ELVDD, the second terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a second terminal of the third transistor M3) is coupled to a first terminal of the drive transistor M7, and the third terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a first terminal of the fifth transistor M5) is coupled to a second terminal of the drive transistor M7, the fourth terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a second terminal of the fifth transistor M5) is coupled to a first terminal of the light emitting element D1, the first control terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a control terminal of the third transistor M3) is coupled to a first light emitting control terminal EM_I, and the second control terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 (i.e., a control terminal of the fifth transistor M5) is coupled to a second light emitting control terminal EM_II. The light emitting control circuit 30 controls whether the first terminal and the second terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 are turned on or not (i.e., controls whether the third transistor M3 is turned on or not) according to a first light emitting control signal, and also controls whether the third terminal and the fourth terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 are turned on or not (i.e., controls whether the fifth transistor M5 is turned on or not) according to a second light emitting control signal.


Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the initialization circuit 10 includes a first transistor M1.


In the embodiment, a first electrode of the first transistor M1 is coupled to an initial signal terminal Vinitial, a second electrode of the first transistor M1 is coupled to the fourth terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30, and a control electrode of the first transistor M1 is coupled to a first control terminal Gate_I. The compensation circuit 20 includes a second transistor M2. A first electrode of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the control terminal of the drive transistor M7, a second electrode of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the third terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 and the second terminal of the drive transistor M7, and a control electrode of the second transistor M2 is coupled to the first control terminal Gate_I.


The light emitting drive control circuit includes a fourth transistor M4.


In the embodiment, a first electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to a second power supply ELVDD′, a second electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to a second terminal of the storage circuit C1, and a control electrode of the fourth transistor M4 is coupled to the second light emitting control terminal EM_II. It should be understood that the second write control signal may be the same control signal as the second light emitting control signal, and therefore, the control electrode of the fourth transistor M4 may be directly coupled to the second light emitting control terminal EM_II.


The first data writing circuit 40 includes a sixth transistor M6. A first electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to a data signal terminal Data, a second electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to a second terminal of the storage circuit C1, and a control electrode of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the second control terminal Gate_II.


The storage circuit C1 includes a storage capacitor, one terminal of the storage capacitor serves as a first terminal of the storage circuit C1, and the other terminal of the storage capacitor serves as a second terminal of the storage circuit C1.


It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first control signal may include a signal provided by the first control terminal Gate_I and a signal provided by the second light emitting control terminal EM_II as illustrated in FIGS. 3-5, that is, the first control signal includes Gate_I and EM_II, so that under the control of the first control signal, the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 in the initialization circuit 10 are turned on under the control of Gate_I, and the fifth transistor M5 is turned on under the control of EM_II. Thus, an initial signal is written to the gate electrode and source electrode of the drive transistor which are coupled to the second transistor M2 and the fifth transistor M5, respectively.


It should also be understood that the first power supply can be ELVDD or ELVDD′, etc., and the second power supply can also be ELVDD or ELVDD′, etc. That is, the first power supply and the second power supply can input the same power signal or different power signals. In the case where the power signals input by the first power supply and the second power supply are the same, the first terminal of the light emitting control circuit and the second electrode of the fourth transistor M4 in the second data writing circuit 50 can be coupled together and then coupled to the first power supply or the second power supply, as illustrated in FIG. 5. In the case where the power signals input by the first power supply and the second power supply are different, the first terminal of the light emitting control circuit 30 and the second electrode of the fourth transistor M4 in the second data writing circuit 50 can be coupled to the first power supply and the second power supply, respectively, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the first power supply and the second power supply are both ELVDD. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the first power supply is ELVDD and the second power supply is ELVDD′.


Further, in the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, transistors in the initialization circuit 10, the light emitting control circuit 30, the first data writing circuit 40, the second data writing circuit 50, and the compensation circuit 20 are all p-type transistors. It should also be understood that the transistors in the initialization circuit 10, the light emitting control circuit 30, the first data writing circuit 40, the second data writing circuit 50, and the compensation circuit 20 may all be N-type transistors, which may depend on actual situations.


The operation principle of the compensation circuit of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further explained below by taking as examples that the transistors in the circuit illustrated in FIG. 5 are all p-type transistors, the input signals of the first power supply and the second power supply are the same, and the first power supply is ELVDD. The operation timing of the pixel compensation circuit of the light emitting diode D1 of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be as illustrated in FIG. 4. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light emitting element D1 may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED).


It can be understood that in a first stage, i.e. an initialization stage, as illustrated in stage {circle around (1)} of FIG. 4, signals of the first control terminal Gate_I and the second light emitting control terminal EM_II are at a first level, and the first level is a valid level, so that the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2, the fourth transistor M4 and the fifth transistor M5 are all turned on. Signals of the second control terminal Gate_II and the first light emitting control terminal EM_I are at a second level, and the second level is an invalid level, so that the sixth transistor M6 and the third transistor M3 are turned off. In this stage, because the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the fourth transistor M4, and the fifth transistor M5 are all in the on state, an initial level of the initial signal terminal Vinitial is applied to the gate electrode of the drive transistor M7, so that a voltage of the gate electrode of the drive transistor M7 is initialized, and thus a fixed bias starting point is realized, thereby improving the short-term residue image caused by the magnetic hysteresis effect. Meanwhile, the initial signal at this stage also resets the anode voltage of the light emitting element D1.


In a second stage, as illustrated in stage {circle around (2)} in FIG. 4, signals of the first control terminal Gate_I, the second control terminal Gate_II and the first light emitting control terminal EM_I are at a first level, while signals of the second light emitting control terminal EM_II is at a second level, and the first level is a valid level and the second level is an invalid level. In this stage, under the action of the second control terminal Gate_II, the sixth transistor M6 is in an on state, and a data signal of the data signal terminal Data is written to the second terminal of the storage circuit C1. Under the action of the first control terminal Gate_I and the first light emitting control terminal EM_I, the third transistor M3 of the light emitting control circuit 30, the drive transistor M7 and the second transistor M2 of the compensation circuit 20 are in a turned-on state, so that the first power supply ELVDD can charge the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 until the voltage at the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 is ELVDD+Vth, that is, the threshold voltage of the drive transistor M7 is written into the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 so as to compensate the threshold voltage of the drive circuit. Meanwhile, at this stage, under the action of the first control terminal Gate_I, the first transistor M1 maintains the turned-on state, and the initial signal Vinitial continuously resets the anode voltage of the light emitting element D1.


In a third stage, as illustrated in stage {circle around (3)} in FIG. 4, signals of the first control terminal Gate_I and the second control terminal Gate_II are at a second level, and signals of the first light emitting control terminal EM_I and the second light emitting control terminal EM_II are at a first level, and the first level is a valid level and the second level is an invalid level. In this stage, the fourth transistor M4 is in an on state, and the voltage at the second terminal of the storage circuit C1 changes to ELVDD, which results in that a voltage at the first terminal of the storage circuit C1 changes to ELVDD+Vth+(EL VDD−Vdata)=2ELVDD+Vth−Vdata. Therefore, in this stage, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the drive transistor M7 satisfies: Vgs=ELVDD+Vth−Vdata. The third transistor M3, the drive transistor M7, and the fifth transistor M5 are all turned on, a path is formed between the first power supply ELVDD and the light emitting element D1, and the light emitting element D1 emits light.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an OLED is a current driving device, and the current formula is I=½K (Vgs−Vth)2=½K (ELVDD−Vdata)2, where K is a coefficient. Thus, it can be seen that the pixel compensation circuit can realize the compensation of Vth.


Accordingly, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, in the third stage, a gate potential of the drive transistor M7 is coupled to become ELVDD+Vth+(ELVDD′−Vdata). Therefore, in this stage, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the drive transistor M7 satisfies: Vgs=ELVDD′+Vth−Vdata. The current formula is I=½K (Vgs−Vth)2=½K (ELVDD′−Vdata)2. It should be understood that the present disclosure can use either P-type transistors or N-type transistors. In the case where the transistors in the initial circuit 10, the light emitting control circuit 30, the first data writing circuit 40, the second data writing circuit 50 and the compensation circuit 20 are all P-type transistors, the first level signal is a low level signal and the second level signal is a high level signal. In the case where the transistors in the initial circuit 10, the light emitting control circuit 30, the first data writing circuit 40, the second data writing circuit 50, and the compensation circuit 20 are all N-type transistors, the first level signal is a high level signal, and the second level is a low level signal.


In summary, in the pixel compensation circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the initialization circuit is turned on according to the first control signal before writing the data signal, so that the initial signal terminal writes the initial signal to the anode of the light emitting element, and after writing the data signal, the potential of the first terminal of the storage circuit is associated with the threshold voltage of the drive transistor according to the compensation control signal. Therefore, the pixel compensation circuit of the embodiments of the present disclosure can enable the drive circuit to start data writing and compensation from a fixed bias state, greatly improving the short-term residue image problem caused by the magnetic hysteresis effect, and effectively improving user experience.
