It is to be understood that the specific embodiments set forth here are merely intended to illustrating rather than limiting the present disclosure.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.


A display panel and a display device are provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure, to weaken or avoid the weak light emission of the light-emitting element in the non-light emission stage and improve the display effect. The various embodiments of the display panel and the display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings.



FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pixel circuit 10 and a light-emitting element 20, and the pixel circuit 10 provides a driving current for the light-emitting element 20. The light-emitting element 20 may be a light-emitting element such as a micro LED or an OLED, and may be designed according to practical conditions during specific implementation. In an embodiment, the light-emitting element 20 may be an inorganic light-emitting element including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an inorganic semiconductor material set between the first electrode and the second electrode.


Multiple pixel circuits 10 and multiple light-emitting elements 20 may be arrayed in a first direction x and a second direction y, and the first direction x and the second direction y are parallel to the plane where the display panel is located, and the first direction x and the second direction intersect with each other. Exemplarily, the first direction x may be a row direction, and the second direction y may be a column direction.


The display panel includes a power supply voltage terminal 30, and the power supply voltage terminal 30 provides a power supply voltage signal for the pixel circuit 10. The display panel includes a light emission stage and a non-light emission stage, in the light emission stage, the power supply voltage terminal 30 provides a first voltage V1, and in the non-light emission stage, the power supply voltage terminal 30 provides a second voltage V2, where V1≠V2.


The light emission stage of the display panel is a display stage of the display panel. In the display stage, generally, multiple light-emitting elements 20 emit light to form a preset display screen. In the non-light emission stage of the display panel, it is a non-display stage of the display panel, at which time the light-emitting elements 20 do not emit light. Or in a driving mode of PWM (controlling the light emission duration)+PAM (controlling the amplitude of the driving current), the light-emitting elements 20 flash and emit light at a preset frequency when the display panel displays a screen, the display stage includes both the light emission stage and the non-light emission stage, and the non-display stage only includes the non-light emission stage. It can be understood that micro LED or OLED are both current-driven light-emitting elements. The display panel includes a positive power supply voltage terminal P1 and a negative power supply voltage terminal P2. The pixel circuit 10 and the light-emitting element 20 are set between the positive power supply voltage terminal Pl and the negative power supply voltage terminal P2. In the related art, the positive power supply voltage terminal P1 provides a constant positive power supply voltage PVDD (high voltage), and the negative power supply voltage terminal P2 provides a constant negative power supply voltage PVEE (low voltage). When the pixel circuit 10 makes the power supply voltage terminal P1 and the negative power supply voltage terminal P2 on, a driving current flows through the light-emitting element 20, and the light-emitting element 20 emits light. In this embodiment, when the light-emitting element 20 emits light, the first voltage V1 provided by the power supply voltage terminal 30 causes a preset voltage difference between the two electrodes of the light-emitting element 20, so that a driving current flows through the light-emitting element 20 to make the light-emitting element 20 emit light. In the non-light emission stage, the second voltage V2 provided by the power supply voltage terminal 30 may make the voltage difference between the two electrodes of the light-emitting element 20 be 0 or close to 0, and at this time, no driving current flows through the light-emitting element 20, thereby avoiding the light-emitting element 20 having weak light emission in the non-light emission stage and affecting the display effect.


If V1=V2, due to the existence of leakage current in TFT, there will be a certain current in the light-emitting element 20 even when it is not required the light-emitting element 20 to emit light. As the use time increases, the performance of the TFT may weaken, which will cause the light-emitting element 20 to emit weak light, thus affecting the display effect.


In the display panel according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is set V1≠V2, so that the weak light emission of the light-emitting element in the non-light emission stage can be reduced or avoided by differentially designing the voltage values provided by the power supply voltage terminal in the light emission stage and the non-light emission stage, thereby improving the display effect.



FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of partial structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of partial structure of the display panel shown in FIG. 2, where each of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 shows a pixel circuit 10 and a light-emitting element 20 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the pixel circuit 10 includes an amplitude modulation module 11 and a pulse width modulation module 12. The amplitude modulation module 11 and the pulse width modulation module 12 are connected, and the pixel circuit 10 generates a driving current under the control of the amplitude modulation module 11 and the pulse width modulation module 12. The amplitude modulation module 11 may be configured to control the amplitude of the driving current, and the pulse width modulation module 12 may be configured to adjust the pulse width of the voltage applied to a first electrode of the light-emitting element 20. The connection between the amplitude modulation module 11 and the pulse width modulation module 12 described here may be: a direct connection, that is, one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is connected to the amplitude modulation module 11 through a wire (as shown in FIG. 3); or an indirect connection, for example, one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is coupled to the amplitude modulation module 11 through a capacitor C0 (as shown in FIG. 4). The specific implementation may be designed according to practical conditions, and embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. It is to be noted that the direct connection mode shown in FIG. 3 is also applicable to the embodiment of FIG. 2, and the indirect connection mode shown in FIG. 4 is also applicable to the embodiment of FIG. 1. In an embodiment, one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is directly connected or coupled through a capacitor C0 to the gate of a control transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11 (not shown in the figure), and the pulse width modulation module 12 is used to control the turn-on and turn-off of the control transistor, so as to control whether the amplitude modulation module 11 normally provides the driving current to the light-emitting element, that is, the pulse width modulation module 12 controls the light emission duration of the light-emitting element. In an embodiment, the control transistor may be a driving transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11, that is, one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is directly connected to the driving transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11 or one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is connected to the driving transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11 through the capacitor C0. In an embodiment, the control transistor may be a light-emission control transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11, and the light-emission control transistor selectively provides a driving current for the light-emitting element; that is, one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is directly connected to the light-emission control transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11 or one terminal of the pulse width modulation module 12 is connected to the light-emission control transistor of the amplitude modulation module 11 through the capacitor C0.


The pulse width modulation module 12 adjusts the pulse width of the voltage applied to the first electrode of the light-emitting element 20, that is, the pulse width modulation module 12 adjusts the actual emission period of the driving current applied to the light-emitting element 20, and meanwhile maintains the driving current applied to the light-emitting element 20 at a constant level to adjust the grayscale or brightness displayed by the light-emitting element 20, rather than adjusting the magnitude of the driving current applied to the light-emitting element 20 to adjust the grayscale or brightness displayed by the light-emitting element. Therefore, the amplitude modulation module 11 is able to provide a driving current to the light emitting element 20 so that the light emitting element 20 is driven with the best light emission efficiency, and the pulse width modulation module 12 adjusts the light emission duty cycle of the light emitting element 20 (i.e., the emission period of the light emitting element) to adjust the grayscale or brightness displayed by the light emitting element 20. The following embodiments are all described in the driving mode of PAM+PWM.


Based on the above embodiment, in an embodiment, the display panel includes a first display mode and a second display mode, and a brightness of the display panel in the first display mode is different from a brightness of the display panel in the second display mode. In the first display mode, the power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V1 for a duration of T1, and in the second display mode, the power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V1 for a duration of T2, where T1≠T2.


It can be understood that when the driving current applied to the light-emitting element is maintained at a constant level so that the light-emitting element is driven at the best light emission efficiency, the energy utilization rate can be improved. Under this condition, to realize the first display mode and the second display mode with different light emission brightnesses of the display panel, for example, to display the same screen but present different brightnesses, it is necessary to adjust the lengths of the light emission periods of the two display modes to achieve different visual brightnesses because the brightnesses of the light-emitting element are basically the same during the same light-emission time due to the same magnitude of the driving currents. The duration of the first voltage V1 provided by the power supply voltage terminal corresponds to the length of the light emission period. If the brightness of the first display mode and the brightness of the second display mode are different, then T1≠T2. In this case, the power supply voltage terminal provides a second voltage V2 in the non-light emission stage, which not only realizes different brightness display of the display panel, but also avoids the light-emitting element from weakly emitting light in the non-light emission stage and affecting the display effect.


For example, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of durations for which a power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5, it is taken as an example that the first voltage V1 is a low voltage, in an embodiment, the display panel includes a first display mode A and a second display mode B, the power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V1 for the duration of T1 in the first display mode A, and the power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V1 for the duration of T2 in the second display mode B, and the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode A is less than the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode B, and T1<T2.


In an embodiment, the power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage V1 in the light emission stage and provides a second voltage V2 in the non-light emission stage, where the relationship between the first voltage V1 and the second voltage V2 is only schematic and is not a limitation to the embodiment of the present disclosure. When the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode A is less than the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode B, the duration of the light emission period in the second display mode B is longer, that is, T1<T2.


It can be understood that, accordingly, if the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode is greater than the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode, then T1>T2.


In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, the pixel circuit 10 includes an amplitude modulation module 11 and a pulse width modulation module 12, the amplitude modulation module 11 is configured to control the amplitude of the driving current, and the pulse width modulation module 12 is configured to output a pulse width modulation signal to control a duration of the driving current applied to the display panel, thereby realizing PAM+PWM control for the light-emitting element 20.


In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the first display mode A and the second display mode B may be considered as a comparison of the overall light emission period when the display panel displays a frame of image. In the actual PWM+PAM dimming control, a frame of display screen corresponds to multiple cycles of sub-light emission periods. It can be understood that during the operation of the pixel circuit, the pulse width modulation module determines the time for the amplitude modulation module to load the driving current to the light-emitting element under the control of a data voltage signal and a sweep signal (SWEEP) of the pulse width modulation module, that is, determines the light emission duration. Exemplarily, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of durations for which a power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 6, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, the pulse width modulation module outputs pulse width modulation signals with the same frequency. In the first display mode A, the duration of the power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V1 within a pulse cycle TO of the pulse width modulation signal is T11, and in the second display mode B, the duration of the power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V1 within a pulse cycle TO of the pulse width modulation signal is T21, where T11<T21.


For the same pixel circuit, for the sake of driving simplicity, generally a pulse width modulation signal with a fixed frequency is used, corresponding to the sweep signal SWEEP with the same slope. By adjusting the pulse width modulation module 12 receiving the data voltage signals to be different in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, the duration of a sub-light emission stage (corresponding to T11) in the first display mode A and a sub-light emission stage (corresponding to T21) in the second display mode B are different. When the brightness in the first display mode A is less than the brightness in the second display mode B, the duty cycle of the first voltage V1 provided by the power supply voltage terminal within the pulse cycle TO of the pulse width modulation signal in the second display mode B is greater, and the duration T11 of the power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V1 in the first display mode A is less than the duration T21 of the power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V1 in the second display mode B, that is, T11<T21.


In other embodiments, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, the triangular wave signals in the sweep signals SWEEP received by the pulse width modulation module 12 may also include different slopes (voltage change rates).


In other embodiments, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, the triangular wave signals in the sweep signals SWEEP received by the pulse width modulation module 12 may include different slopes, and the pulse width modulation module 12 may also receive different data voltage signals. With the pulse width modulation module 12 receiving different data voltage signals and the triangular wave signals in the sweep signals SWEEP including different slopes, the light emission durations of the light-emitting element are jointly adjusted to achieve different brightness displays.


In other embodiments, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, the data voltage signals received by the amplitude modulation module 11 may also be adjusted to perform the adjustment of different grayscale displays.


In other embodiments, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, by adjusting the amplitude modulation module 11 receiving different data voltage signals and the pulse width modulation module 12 receiving different data voltage signals, the adjustment of different grayscale displays are jointly performed.


In other embodiments, in the first display mode A and the second display mode B, by adjusting the amplitude modulation module 11 receiving different data voltage signals and the triangular wave signals in the sweep signals SWEEP including different slopes, the adjustment of different grayscale displays are jointly performed.


Continuing to refer to FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the power supply voltage terminal 30 includes a first power supply voltage terminal 31, and the first power supply voltage terminal 31 is coupled to the pixel circuit 10 through the light-emitting element 20.


In the light emission stage, a first voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal 31 is V11, and in the non-light emission stage, a second voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal 31 is V21; where V11<V21.


In this embodiment, the first power supply voltage terminal 31 is connected to a second electrode (cathode) of the light-emitting element 20, and the first power supply voltage terminal 31 is the negative power supply voltage terminal P2. In the light emission stage, the first voltage V11 provided by the first power supply voltage terminal 31 to the second electrode of the light-emitting element 20 is a low voltage, for example, the negative power supply voltage PVEE in the related art, so as to ensure that the driving current is output from the pixel circuit 10 and flows through the light-emitting element 20 to ensure that the light-emitting element 20 emits light normally. In the non-light emission stage, a second voltage V21 provided by the first power supply voltage terminal 31 to the second electrode of the light-emitting element 20 is a high voltage, for example, the positive power supply voltage PVDD in the related art, that is, the voltage value of the second voltage V21 is equal to the positive power supply voltage, so that even if the thin film transistor in the pixel circuit 10 has an off-state leakage current, the situation in which the light-emitting element 20 emits light weakly in the non-light emission stage can be avoided because there is no voltage difference between the two terminals of the light-emitting element 20 or the voltage difference between the two terminals of the light-emitting element 20 is too small to drive the light-emitting element 20 to emit light.


In an embodiment, the display panel includes a first display mode and a second display mode, and the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode is different from the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode. In the first display mode, the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 for a duration of T12, and in the second display mode, the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 for a duration of T22, where T12≠T22.


When the driving current applied to the light-emitting element is maintained at a constant level so that the light-emitting element is driven at an optimal light emission efficiency, the ratio of energy utilization can be improved. Under this condition, to realize the first display mode and the second display mode with different light emission brightnesses of the display panel, for example, to display the same picture but present different brightnesses, it is necessary to adjust the lengths of the light emission periods of the two display modes to achieve different visual brightnesses because the brightnesses of the light-emitting element are basically the same during the same light-emission time due to the same magnitude of the driving currents. The duration of the first power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V11 corresponds to the length of the light emission period, and the brightness in the first display mode and the brightness in the second display mode are different, then T12≠T22. In this case, the power supply voltage terminal provides the second voltage V21 in the non-light emission stage, which not only realizes different brightness display of the display panel, but also avoids the light-emitting element from weakly emitting light in the non-light emission stage and affecting the display effect.


For example, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of durations for which a first power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 7, in an embodiment, the display panel includes a first display mode A and a second display mode B, and the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 for a duration of T12 in the first display mode A, and the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 for a duration of T22 in the second display mode B. The brightness of the display panel in the first display mode A is less than the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode B, and T12<T22.


The first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 in the light emission stage and provides the second voltage V21 in the non-light emission stage, where the first voltage V11 is PVEE and the second voltage V21 is PVDD, which is only illustrative and not a limitation of the embodiment of the present disclosure. If the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode A is less than the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode B, the duration of the light emission period in the second display mode B is longer, that is, T12<T22.



FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of durations for which a first power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 8, similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, in the PWM+PAM dimming process, the greater the duty cycle of the first voltage V11 provided by the first power supply voltage terminal, the higher the brightness of the light-emitting element, that is, when the brightness in the first display mode A is less than the brightness in the second display mode B, within a pulse cycle TO of the pulse width modulation signal, the duration T111 for which the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 in the first display mode A is less than the duration T211 for which the first power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V11 in the second display mode B, that is, T111<T211.



FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of second voltages provided by a first power supply voltage terminal in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 9, in an embodiment, in the first display mode A, a second voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal is V211, and in the second display mode B, a second voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal is V212, where V211≠V212.


In the previous embodiment, the second voltage provided by the first power supply voltage terminal in the non-light emission stage may be a constant anode power supply voltage PVDD, but in the specific implementation, PVDD being of a fixed voltage means that PVDD is a fixed voltage for a period of time and does not mean that PVDD is always constant. For example, in some applications requiring high contrast, when higher brightness is required, the voltage of PVDD may be increased if conditions permit, so as to increase the driving current during high-brightness display, thereby obtaining greater brightness. In an embodiment, the brightness of the first display mode A is less than the brightness of the second display mode B, and V211<V212.


Continuing to refer to FIG. 2 or FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the power supply voltage terminal 30 includes a second power supply voltage terminal 32, and the second power supply voltage terminal 32 is coupled to the light-emitting element 20 through the pixel circuit 10.


In the light emission stage, a first voltage provided by the second power supply voltage terminal 32 is V12, and in the non-light emission stage, a second voltage provided by the second power supply voltage terminal 32 is V22; where V12>V22.


In this embodiment, the second power supply voltage terminal 32 is connected to the pixel circuit 10 and is the positive power supply voltage terminal P1. The pixel circuit 10 is connected to the first electrode (anode) of the light-emitting element 20. In the light emission stage, the first voltage V12 provided by the second power supply voltage terminal 32 to the pixel circuit 10 is a high voltage, for example, the positive power supply voltage PVDD in the related art, to allow the driving current to flow from the second power supply voltage terminal 32 via the pixel circuit 10 through the light-emitting element 20 to ensure that the light-emitting element 20 emits light normally. In the non-light emission stage, the second voltage V12 provided by the second power supply voltage terminal 32 to the pixel circuit 10 is a low voltage, for example, the negative power supply voltage PVEE in the related art, so that even if the thin film transistor in the pixel circuit 10 has an off-state leakage current, the situation in which the light-emitting element 20 emits light weakly in the non-light emission stage can be avoided because there is no voltage difference between the two terminals of the light-emitting element 20 or the voltage difference between the two terminals of the light-emitting element 20 is too small to drive the light-emitting element 20 to emit light.


In an embodiment, the display panel includes a first display mode and a second display mode, and the brightness of the display panel in the first display mode is different from the brightness of the display panel in the second display mode. In the first display mode, the second power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V12 for a duration of T13, and in the second display mode, the second power supply voltage terminal provides the first voltage V12 for a duration of T23, where T13≠T23.


When the driving current applied to the light-emitting element is maintained at a constant level so that the light-emitting element is driven at an optimal light emission efficiency, the ratio of energy utilization can be improved. Under this condition, to realize the first display mode and the second display mode with different light emission brightnesses of the display panel, for example, to display the same picture but present different brightnesses, it is necessary to adjust the lengths of the light emission periods of the two display modes to achieve different visual brightnesses because the brightnesses of the light-emitting element are basically the same during the same light-emission time due to the same magnitude of the driving currents. The duration of the second power supply voltage terminal providing the first voltage V12 corresponds to the length of the light emission period, and the brightness in the first display mode and the brightness in the second display mode are different, then T13≠T23. In this case, the power supply voltage terminal provides a second voltage V22 in the non-light emission stage, which not only realizes different brightness display of the display panel, but also avoids the light-emitting element from weakly emitting light in the non-light emission stage and affecting the display effect.


For example, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of durations for which a second power supply voltage terminal provides a first voltage in different display modes in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
