The present application claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202210744021.9, filed on Jun. 27, 2022, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular to a display driving circuit and a display device.
In the related art, multiple pixel circuits are usually required in a display device. For example, several pixel circuits including OLEDs may usually be arranged in an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display device. The several pixel circuits are arranged in an array, and a power-supply terminal of each of the pixel circuits is connected to a power line to receive a power-supply signal. Power lines connected to different pixel circuits are different.
The drawback of the related art includes that, due to each of the pixel circuits being connected to a separate power line, the number of power lines in the display device is great, and an alignment of the power lines is complicated, resulting in more parasitic capacitance between the power lines and more serious signal interference between the power lines. Further, it is easy for the power lines to occupy too much space, so as to make greater limitations on a circuit design in the display device. Therefore, due to the above factors, display effects of existing display devices are poor.
The present disclosure provides a display driving circuit and a display device.
A first technical solution proposed by the present disclosure is: a display driving circuit, including a plurality of pixel circuits; wherein a data terminal of each of the pixel circuits is connected to a corresponding data line, the data line is configured to provide a data signal; a scanning gate terminal of each of the pixel circuits is connected to a corresponding gate line, the gate line is configured to provide a gate signal; power-supply terminals of N1 pixel circuits of the pixel circuits are all connected to a same first common line, the first common line is configured to provide a power-supply voltage signal, and N1 is greater than 2 and not greater than a first common number; wherein the first common number is negatively correlated to any of a characteristic parameter of a thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits, and a current in one of the N1 pixel circuits, and a resistance of a power-supply voltage signal line between adjacent pixel circuits in the N1 pixel circuits, and the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is positively correlated to a channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
A second technical solution proposed by the present disclosure is: a display device, including a light-emitting display device and the display driving circuit as above.

In the description of this application, “plurality” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited.

The plurality of pixel circuits in the display device mentioned in the present disclosure is firstly described by way of example.
The plurality of pixel circuits in the display device mentioned in the present disclosure is first described by way of example. The display driving circuit in the present disclosure may include a plurality of pixel circuits consisting of “2T1C pixel circuits”. As shown in
In addition, the pixel circuits in the display driving circuit of this application can be other types of pixel circuits than the “2T1C pixel circuit”, depending on actual needs, which is not limited herein.
The present disclosure first proposes a display driving circuit, as shown in
A data terminal of each of the pixel circuits 11 is connected to a corresponding data line, the data line is configured to provide a data signal. A scanning gate terminal of each of the pixel circuits 11 is connected to a corresponding gate line, the gate line is configured to provide a gate signal.
Power-supply terminals of N1 pixel circuits of the pixel circuits 11 are all connected to a same first common line, to receive a power-supply voltage signal provided by the first common line, and N1 is greater than 2 and not greater than a first common number.
The first common number is negatively correlated to any of a characteristic parameter of a thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits 11, and a current in one of the N1 pixel circuits 11, and a resistance of a power-supply voltage signal line between adjacent pixel circuits 11 in the N1 pixel circuits 11, and the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is positively correlated to a channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor. Based on the above positive correlation and the above negative correlation, the first common number may always be adapted to actual situations of the display driving circuit.
Specifically, as shown in
The pixel circuit may be an OLED pixel circuit or other types of pixel circuits, depending on the actual needs, which is not limited herein. In practice, a layer of a metal span wire may be added on a basis of a conventional pixel circuit and configured to be connected to the first common line. The pixel circuits may be connected to the first common line by other means, without limitation herein.
Based on the above manner, the maximum number of the pixel circuits 11 sharing the same first common line (i.e., the first common number mentioned above) may be determined based on related data between pixel circuits 11 in the display driving circuit, and the number of the N1 pixel circuits 11 is configured to be not greater than the maximum number, such that total resistances of connecting lines between each of the N1 pixel circuits 11 and the power-supply voltage signal line 111 have a less difference. In this way, uniformity of an amplitude of the power-supply voltage signal received by each of the N1 pixel circuits 11 may be increased, and the display effect of the display module including the display driving circuit may be improved.
Different from the related art, in the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the plurality of pixel circuits are arranged with the N1 pixel circuits sharing the same first common line to receive the power-supply voltage signal, so as to reduce the number of first common lines in the display device, a complexity of arranging lines, and the parasitic capacitance between the lines. Further, the signal interference between the lines and the space occupied by the lines are reduced. In addition, since the first common number is negatively correlated to any of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits, and the current in one of the N1 pixel circuits, and the resistance of the power-supply voltage signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the N1 pixel circuits, and the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is positively correlated to the channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor, the first common number may be determined based on the above correlations. N1 is greater than 2 and not greater than the first common number, so as to avoid an occurrence of a pixel circuit having a greater difference in a length of a line configured to be connected to the same first common line from the other pixel circuits, in the pixel circuits connected to the same first common line. A greater difference in a resistance of the line due to the greater difference in the length of the line, which results in non-uniformity of the power-supply voltage signal received by each of the N1 pixel circuits 11, may be further avoided. In this way, in the present disclosure, the number of the first common lines is reduced and other negative effects caused by reducing the number of the first common lines are avoided, improving the display effect of the display device.
In an embodiment, the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits 11 is positively correlated to a mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor and a construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor, respectively.
Specifically, according to the above correlations, the greater the channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater the corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is. The greater the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is. The greater the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater the corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is.
Based on the above manner, a magnitude of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits may be further accurately determined, which may improve a rationality of the first common number, so as to further improve the display effect of the display device.
In some embodiments, the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is a quotient obtained by dividing a fourth value by a length of a channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and the fourth value is a product of the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor, a width of a channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Specifically, a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) is usually provided in each of the pixel circuits 11. The mobility, the width of the channel, and the length of the channel of the TFT of any of the pixel circuits 11 may be obtained, and a capacitance value of a capacitance constructed by a metal layer, an insulating layer, and an active layer in the TFT may be obtained and denoted as the construction capacitance.
Based on the above manner, a characteristic parameter of the TFT may be determined based on each parameter of the TFT of each of the pixel circuits 11, such that the first common number described above may be further determined based on the characteristic parameter. In this way, the uniformity of the amplitude of the power-supply voltage signal received by each of the N1 pixel circuits 11 may be improved, and the display effect of the display device may be improved.
In an embodiment, the first common number is a quarter power of a first value, the first value is a quotient obtained by dividing a first preset constant by a second value, the second value is a product of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits and a third value, and the third value is a quadratic of a product of the resistance of the power-supply voltage signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the plurality of pixel circuits and the current of the pixel circuit.
Based on the above manner, the first common number may be obtained in combination with related parameters of each of the pixel circuits 11 in the display driving circuit.
In some embodiments, the first common number may be a value determined based on a first calculating process.
The first calculating process includes the following.
The mobility is multiplied by the width, divided by the length, and multiplied by the construction capacitance, and the first value is obtained.
The current of one of the pixel circuits is multiplied by the resistance of the power-supply voltage signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits, and a second value is obtained.
A square of the second value is multiplied by the first value and the third value is obtained.
A preset constant is divided by the third value and the fourth value is obtained.
The fourth value is squared four times and the first common number is obtained.
Specifically, the first value is the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Alternatively, the first calculating process may be expressed by a first calculation formula. That is, the first common number is a value determined based on a first calculation formula, and the first calculation formula is:
In the formula (1), n1 is the first common number, H1 is the first preset constant, k is the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor, R1 is the resistance of the power-supply voltage signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the plurality of pixel circuits, μ is the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor, W is the width of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, L is the length of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and C is the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Based on the above manner, a more reasonable first common number may be calculated based on the first calculating process or the first calculation formula, with each parameter mentioned above, which is configured to limit the number of pixel circuits 11 in the N1 pixel circuits 11, improving the display effect of the display device.
In an embodiment, the first preset constant is positively correlated to the current of each of the pixel circuits 11, and is negatively correlated to a current fluctuation value between the adjacent pixel circuits. Specifically, the current fluctuation value between the adjacent pixel circuits is a current difference value between the adjacent pixel circuits 11. To ensure uniformity of a luminance displayed by each of the pixel circuits in the display device, the current difference is usually limited to 2%-3% of the current in the pixel circuit 11.
In another example, the first preset constant may be specifically within a first preset constant range which may be determined based on actual operating hardware conditions and/or operating environment conditions of the display device. For example, the first preset constant range may be 0.08-0.12 or in other ranges, which is not limited herein.
In an embodiment, receiving terminals of an initialization signal of N2 pixel circuits of the plurality of pixel circuits 11 are all connected to a same second common line, and are configured to receive the initialization signal provided by the same second common line. N2 is greater than 2 and not greater than a second common number.
The second common number is negatively correlated to any of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits 11, and a current in one of the N2 pixel circuits 11, and a resistance of a initialization signal line between adjacent pixel circuits 11 in the N2 pixel circuits 11, and the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is positively correlated to the channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor. Based on the above positive correlation and the above negative correlation, the second common number may always be adapted to the actual situations of the display driving circuit.
Specifically, as shown in
Based on the above manner, the maximum number of the pixel circuits 11 sharing the same second common line (i.e., the second common number mentioned above) may be determined based on related data of the pixel circuit and the related data between the adjacent pixel circuits 11 in the display driving circuit, and the number of the N2 pixel circuits 11 is configured to be not greater than the maximum number, such that total resistances of connecting lines between each of the N2 pixel circuits 11 and the initiation signal line 112 have a less difference. In this way, uniformity of an amplitude of an initiation signal received by each of the N2 pixel circuits 11 may be increased. In this way, an initialization process is performed for each of the pixel circuits 11 based on the initialization signal, and an initialization process result of each of the pixel circuits 11 may keep consistent, which improves the display effect of the display device including the display driver circuit.
It should be noted that the first pixel circuit set 20 and the second pixel circuit set 30 may include identical pixel circuits, or may also include completely different or partially identical pixel circuits. That is, the plurality of pixel circuits 11 connected to the same first common line may all be connected to the same second common line, or partially connected to the same second common line, or may be all connected to different second common lines. For example, as shown in
In an embodiment, the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits 11 is positively correlated to the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor and the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor, respectively.
Specifically, according to the above correlations, the greater the channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater the corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is. The greater the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is. The greater the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor is, the greater the corresponding characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is.
Based on the above manner, the magnitude of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits may be further accurately determined, which may improve a rationality of the second common number, so as to further improve the display effect of the display device.
In some embodiments, the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is the quotient obtained by dividing the fourth value by the length of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and the fourth value is the product of the mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor, the width of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Specifically, the TFT is usually provided in each of the pixel circuits 11. The mobility, the width of the channel, and the length of the channel of the TFT of any of the pixel circuits 11 may be obtained, and the capacitance value of the capacitance constructed by the metal layer, the insulating layer, and the active layer in the TFT may be obtained and denoted as the construction capacitance.
Based on the above manner, the characteristic parameter of the TFT may be determined based on each parameter of the TFT of each of the pixel circuits 11, such that the second common number described above may be further determined based on the characteristic parameter. In this way, the uniformity of the amplitude of the initiation signal received by each of the pixel circuits 11 may be improved, and the display effect of the display device may be improved.
In an embodiment, the second common number is a quarter power of a fifth value, the fifth value is a quotient obtained by dividing a second preset constant by a sixth value, the sixth value is a product of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits and a seventh value, and the seventh value is a quadratic of a product of the resistance of the initiation signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the plurality of pixel circuits and the current of the pixel circuit.
Based on the above manner, the second common number may be obtained in combination with related parameters of each of the pixel circuits 11 in the display driving circuit.
In some embodiments, the second common number may be a value determined based on a second calculating process.
Further, the second calculating process includes the following.
The mobility is multiplied by the width, divided by the length, and multiplied by the construction capacitance, and the fifth value is obtained.
The current of one of the pixel circuits is multiplied by the resistance of the initiation signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits, and a sixth value is obtained.
A square of the sixth value is multiplied by the fifth value and the seventh value is obtained.
A preset constant is divided by the seventh value and the eighth value is obtained.
The eighth value is squared four times and the second common number is obtained.
Specifically, the fifth value is the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Alternatively, the second calculating process may be expressed by a second calculation formula. That is, the second common number is a value determined based on the second calculation formula, and the second calculation formula is:
In the formula (2), n2 is the second common number, H2 is the second preset constant, k is the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor, R2 is the resistance of the initiation signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the plurality of pixel circuits, μ is a mobility of the thin-film field-effect transistor, W is the width of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, L is the length of the channel of the thin-film field-effect transistor, and C is the construction capacitance of the thin-film field-effect transistor.
Based on the above manner, a more reasonable second common number may be calculated based on the second calculating process or the second calculation formula, with each parameter mentioned above, which is configured to limit the number of pixel circuits 11 in the N2 pixel circuits 11, improving the display effect of the display device.
In an embodiment, the second preset constant is positively correlated to the current of each of the pixel circuits 11, and is negatively correlated to a current fluctuation value between the adjacent pixel circuits. Specifically, the current fluctuation value between the adjacent pixel circuits is the current difference value between the adjacent pixel circuits 11. To ensure the uniformity of the luminance displayed by each of the pixel circuits in the display device, the current difference is usually limited to 2%-3% of the current in the pixel circuit 11.
In another example, the second preset constant may be specifically within a second preset constant range which may be determined based on the actual operating hardware conditions and/or the operating environment conditions of the display device. For example, the second preset constant range may be 0.08-0.12 or in other ranges, which is not limited herein.

Different from the related art, in the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the plurality of pixel circuits are arranged with the N1 pixel circuits sharing the same first common line to receive the power-supply voltage signal, so as to reduce the number of the first common lines in the display device, the complexity of arranging the lines, and the parasitic capacitance between the lines. Further, the signal interference between the lines and the space occupied by the lines are reduced. In addition, since the first common number is negatively correlated to any of the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor of each of the pixel circuits, and the current in one of the N1 pixel circuits, and the resistance of the power-supply voltage signal line between the adjacent pixel circuits in the N1 pixel circuits, and the characteristic parameter of the thin-film field-effect transistor is positively correlated to the channel width-to-length ratio of the thin-film field-effect transistor, the first common number may be determined based on the above correlations.

The greater difference in the resistance of the line due to the greater difference in the length of the line, which results in the non-uniformity of the power-supply voltage signal received by each of the N1 pixel circuits 11, may be further avoided. In this way, in the present disclosure, the number of the first common lines is reduced and other negative effects caused by reducing the number of the first common lines are avoided, improving the display effect of the display device.
