Description
BACKGROUND
Technical Field

The disclosure relates to an electronic circuit, and particularly to an electronic circuit with parasitic capacitance coupling compensation effect.


Description of Related Art

Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a known electronic circuit. The electronic circuit 10 may be an illumination circuit or a pixel circuit. The electronic circuit 10 includes a driving transistor TDR, an emitting transistor TEM and an electronic element EE. The electronic element EE may be any form of illuminating element. The driving transistor TDR, the emitting transistor TEM, and the electronic element EE are connected in series with each other. A first terminal of the driving transistor TDR receives a power supply voltage ARVDD′. A first terminal of the emitting transistor TEM is electrically connected to a second terminal of the driving transistor TDR. The electronic element EE is electrically connected between a second terminal of the emitting transistor TEM and a reference voltage ARVSS. The driving transistor TDR provides the received power supply voltage ARVDD′ to the emitting transistor TEM according to a voltage value VG at a control terminal of the driving transistor TDR. The emitting transistor TEM to drives the electronic element EE using the power supply voltage ARVDD′ in response to an enable signal EM.


There is a parasitic capacitance Cgd between the second terminal of the driving transistor TDR and the control terminal of the driving transistor TDR. The power supply voltage ARVDD′ is lower than a reference voltage source ARVDD. Therefore, when the driving transistor TDR is turned on based on the voltage value VG, the voltage value VG is varied by a voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ through the parasitic capacitance Cgd. It should be noted, a resistance value of the wiring impedance R is different for different positions of the electronic circuit 10 on a substrate. The voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ received by the driving transistor TDR is also different. In other words, a result of the voltage value VG being varied is different for different positions of the electronic circuit 10 on the substrate. The above situation causes the voltage values VG of electronic circuit 10 at different positions to have different amounts of variation, thereby causing uneven illumination of the electronic element EE.


Moreover, for example, under low grayscale operation, when the enable signal EM has a duty cycle, a voltage value VA at the second terminal of the driving transistor TDR pulls down the voltage value VG through the parasitic capacitance Cgd. At this time, a transient large current flows through the emitting transistor TEM and the electronic element EE, thereby causing the electronic element EE to provide incorrect illumination under low grayscale operation.


Therefore, how to provide coupling compensation for the parasitic capacitance Cgd in the electronic circuit 10 is one of the research focuses for those skilled in the art.


SUMMARY

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic circuit includes an electronic element, a driving transistor, a first emitting transistor, a first reset transistor, and a capacitor. The driving transistor is electrically connected to the electronic element. The power supply voltage drives the electronic element through the driving transistor. The first terminal of the first emitting transistor is electrically connected to the power supply voltage. One terminal of the first reset transistor receives a reset signal. The first terminal of the capacitor is electrically connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor. The second terminal of the capacitor is electrically connected to the first reset transistor and the first emitting transistor. When the electronic element is driven, the first terminal of the driving transistor and the first terminal of the first emitting transistor receive the power supply voltage.


Based on the above, when the electronic element is driven, the first terminal of the driving transistor and the first terminal of the first emitting transistor jointly receive the power supply voltage.

Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 100 includes an electronic element EE, a driving transistor T1, a first emitting transistor T2, a first reset transistor T3 and a capacitor Cp. The driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to the electronic element. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 100 may be, for example, an illumination circuit or a pixel circuit. The electronic element EE may be, for example, any form of illumination element, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. A first terminal of the driving transistor T1 receives a power supply voltage ARVDD′. The power supply voltage ARVDD′ drives the electronic element EE through the driving transistor T1. A second terminal of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to the electrode of the electronic element EE. Another electrode of the electronic element EE is electrically connected to a reference voltage ARVSS.


A first terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 is electrically connected to the power supply voltage ARVDD′. One terminal of the first reset transistor T3 receives a reset signal RST. A first terminal of the capacitor Cp is electrically connected to a control terminal of the driving transistor T1. A second terminal of the capacitor Cp (that is, node N) is electrically connected to the first reset transistor T3 and the first emitting transistor T2. When the electronic element EE is driven, the first terminal of the driving transistor T1 and the first terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 receive the power supply voltage ARVDD′.


Generally, the resistance value of the wiring impedance R is varied based on a position of the electronic circuit 100 on a substrate. A voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ received by the driving transistor T1 is different. In other words, a result of the voltage value VG at the control terminal of the driving transistor T1 being varied is varied depending on the position of the electronic circuit 100 on the substrate. The above situation may cause uneven illumination of the electronic element EE in multiple electronic circuits 100 at different positions. Furthermore, under low grayscale operation, when the enable signal EM has a duty cycle and the driving transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage value VA at the second terminal of the driving transistor T1 may be pulled down by the voltage value VG through a parasitic capacitor Cgd. At this time, a transient large current may flow through the electronic element EE, causing the electronic element EE to provide incorrect illumination under low grayscale operation.


It should be noted, when the electronic element EE is driven, the first terminal of the driving transistor T1 and the first terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 jointly receive the power supply voltage ARVDD′. In this way, a capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd between the second terminal and the control terminal of the driving transistor T1 could be compensated by a capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp.


In this embodiment, the wiring impedance R is an equivalent resistor of the connecting line. Based on the resistance value of the wiring impedance R, the power supply voltage ARVDD′ is lower than a reference voltage source ARVDD.


In this embodiment, a second terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. A control terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 receives an enable signal EM. The first emitting transistor T2 performs switching operations in response to a duty cycle of the enable signal EM. A first terminal of the first reset transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 and the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. A second terminal of the first reset transistor T3 is electrically connected to a reference high voltage VGH. A control terminal of the first reset transistor T3 receives a reset signal RST. When the enable signal EM has a duty cycle and the driving transistor T1 is turned on, the capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may be generated based on the power supply voltage ARVDD′. The capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd may also be generated based on the power supply voltage ARVDD′. It should be noted, the capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may compensate (or offset) the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd. In other words, compared to the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd, the capacitor Cp provides an inverse capacitive coupling. The capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may reduce the non-ideal variation of the voltage value VG caused by the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd.


In this embodiment, the capacitance value of the capacitor Cp is designed to be equal to the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitor Cgd. Therefore, the capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may completely offset the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd.


In this embodiment, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, and the first reset transistor T3 are implemented by P-type transistors, respectively. However, this disclosure is not limited to this configuration. In some embodiments, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, and the first reset transistor T3 may be implemented by N-type transistors, respectively. However, this disclosure is not limited to this configuration.


Please refer to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 200 includes the electronic element EE, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, a second reset transistor T4, a second emitting transistor T5, and capacitors C1 and Cp. The first terminal of the driving transistor T1 receives a power supply voltage ARVDD′. The first terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 receives the power supply voltage ARVDD′. The second terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. The control terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 receives an enable signal EM. The first terminal of the first reset transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 and the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. The second terminal of the first reset transistor T3 is electrically connected to a reference high voltage VGH. The control terminal of the first reset transistor T3 receives a reset signal RST. The first terminal of the capacitor Cp is electrically connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor T1. The second terminal of the capacitor Cp is electrically connected to the first terminal of the first reset transistor T3 and the second terminal of the first emitting transistor T2. The capacitor C1 is electrically connected between the first terminal of the driving transistor T1 and the control terminal of the driving transistor T1.


In this embodiment, one terminal of the second reset transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the capacitor Cp. Another terminal of the second reset transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first reset transistor T3.


In this embodiment, for example, A first terminal of the second reset transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the capacitor Cp. A second terminal of the second reset transistor T4 is electrically connected to a reference voltage ARVSS. A control terminal of the first reset transistor T3 and the control terminal of the second reset transistor T4 receive the reset signal RST.


In this embodiment, A first terminal of the second emitting transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T1. A second terminal of the second emitting transistor T5 is electrically connected to an electrode of the electronic element EE. The control terminal of the second emitting transistor T5 receives the enable signal EM. Another electrode of the electronic element EE is electrically connected to a reference voltage ARVSS.


In this embodiment, a voltage value of the reference voltage ARVSS may be lower than or equal to 0 volts. It should be noted, the another electrode of the electronic element EE and the second terminal of the second reset transistor T4 are electrically connected to the reference voltage ARVSS. Therefore, the layout area of the electronic circuit 200 may be reduced.


In some embodiments, the second terminal of the second reset transistor T4 may be electrically connected to another reference voltage. The voltage value of said other reference voltage is lower than the voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ minus a threshold voltage value of the driving transistor T1.


In this embodiment, when the enable signal EM has the duty cycle and the driving transistor T1 is turned on, the capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may be generated based on the power supply voltage ARVDD′. The capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd may also be generated based on the power supply voltage ARVDD′. The capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may compensate (or offset) the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd.


In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 200 further includes a data transistor TD and a compensation transistor TP. A first terminal of the data transistor TD receives a data signal SD. A second terminal of the data transistor TD is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. A control terminal of the data transistor TD receives a driving signal SN. A first terminal of the compensation transistor TP is electrically connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor T1. A second terminal of the compensation transistor TP is electrically connected to the second terminal of the driving transistor T1. A control terminal of the compensation transistor TP receives the driving signal SN.


In this embodiment, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the second emitting transistor T5, the data transistor TD, and the compensation transistor TP are each implemented using P-type transistors. However, this disclosure is not limited to this configuration.


Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. FIG. 4 illustrates a signal timing diagram according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment, during a reset period TD1, the voltage value of the reset signal RST is a low voltage level. Therefore, during the reset period TD1, the first reset transistor T3 and the second reset transistor T4 are turned on. Voltage values at both terminals of the capacitor Cp are reset. In this embodiment, for example, during the reset period TD1, the voltage value at the second terminal of the capacitor Cp is approximately equal to a voltage value of the reference high voltage VGH. The voltage value at the first terminal of the capacitor Cp is approximately equal to the voltage value of the reference voltage ARVSS. During the reset period TD1, there is a reset voltage difference (that is, “VGH-ARVSS”) between the second terminal of the capacitor Cp and the first terminal of the capacitor Cp.


During the reset period TD1, the voltage values of the driving signal SN and the enable signal EM are at high voltage levels, respectively. Therefore, during the reset period TD1, the first emitting transistor T2, the second emitting transistor T5, the data transistor TD, and the compensation transistor TP are turned off. The electronic element EE does not illuminate during the reset period TD1.


In this embodiment, the voltage value of the reference high voltage VGH is higher than the highest voltage value of the data signal SD. Therefore, when the data signal SD is received, the voltage value at the second terminal of the capacitor Cp may be ensured to be pulled down during a data input period TD2, thereby enabling the control terminal of the driving transistor T1 to have information for compensating the threshold voltage value of the driving transistor T1.


During the data input period TD2, the voltage values of the reset signal RST and the enable signal EM are high voltage levels, respectively. Therefore, during the data input period TD2, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, and the second emitting transistor T5 are turned off. The voltage value of the driving signal SN is a low voltage level. Therefore, during the data input period TD2, the data transistor TD and the compensation transistor TP are turned on. The second terminal of the capacitor Cp receives the data signal SD. The voltage value at the first terminal of the capacitor Cp is approximately equal to the voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ minus the absolute value of the threshold voltage value of the driving transistor T1 (that is, “VG<ARVDD′−|Vth_T1|”). In other words, during the data input period TD2, the control terminal of the driving transistor T1 has information for compensating the threshold voltage value of the driving transistor T1.


During a driving period TD3, the voltage values of the reset signal RST and the driving signal SN are high voltage levels, respectively. Therefore, during the data input period TD2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the data transistor TD, and the compensation transistor TP are turned off. During the driving period TD3, the enable signal EM has the duty cycle. Therefore, during the driving period TD3, the first emitting transistor T2 and the second emitting transistor T5 perform switching operations in response to the duty cycle of the enable signal EM.


During the driving period TD3, when the enable signal EM has a duty cycle and the driving transistor T1 is turned on, the capacitive coupling of the capacitor Cp may compensate (or offset) the capacitive coupling of the parasitic capacitor Cgd.


Please refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 200′ includes the electronic element EE, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the second emitting transistor T5, the capacitors C1, Cp and a data control circuit 210. The embodiments of the electronic element EE, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the second emitting transistor T5 and the capacitors C1, Cp have been clearly described in the embodiment of FIG. 3, and therefore will not be repeated here.


In this embodiment, the data control circuit 210 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor T1. The data control circuit 210 generates a control voltage VC according to the data signal SD and provides the control voltage VC to the control terminal of the driving transistor T1. Therefore, the voltage value VG at the control terminal of the driving transistor T1 may be increased based on the variation of the data signal SD, which enables the range of the operating current flowing through the driving transistor T1, the second emitting transistor T5 and the electronic element EE to be increased.


In this embodiment, the data control circuit 210 includes control transistors TC1, TC2, TC3 and a capacitor C2. The first terminal of the capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the driving transistor T1. A first terminal of the control transistor TC1 receives the data signal SD. A second terminal of the control transistor TC1 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor C2. A control terminal of the control transistor TC1 receives the driving signal SN. A first terminal of the control transistor TC2 receives the voltage signal V1. A second terminal of the control transistor TC2 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor C2. A control terminal of the control transistor TC2 receives the enable signal EM. A first terminal of the control transistor TC3 is electrically connected to the reference high voltage VGH. A second terminal of the control transistor TC3 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. A control terminal of the control transistor TC3 receives the reset signal RST.


It should be noted, the data control circuit 210 also receives the data signal SD, the enable signal EM and the driving signal SN. Therefore, the variation of the control voltage VC follows the variation of the voltage value at the second terminal of the capacitor Cp. In this way, the amount of variation in the voltage value VG may be amplified.


In this embodiment, the control transistors TC1, TC2, TC3 are implemented by P-type transistors, respectively, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.


It should be understood that the signal timing diagram of FIG. 4 is also applicable to the electronic circuit 200′.


Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 7 is a signal timing diagram illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment, the electronic circuit 300 includes the electronic element EE, the driving transistor T1, the first emitting transistor T2, the first reset transistor T3, the second reset transistor T4, the second emitting transistor T5, the capacitors C1, Cp, and a data control circuit 310. The data control circuit 310 includes control transistors TC1, TC2, TC3 and a capacitor C2.


Unlike the electronic circuit 200′ in FIG. 5, in this embodiment of the electronic circuit 300, the control terminal of the first emitting transistor T2 and the control terminal of the control transistor TC2 receive a pre-enable signal PRE_EM respectively. After the data input period TD2 and before the driving period TD3, a voltage value of the pre-enable signal PRE_EM changes from a high level to a low level. Therefore, after the data input period TD2 and before the driving period TD3, the first emitting transistor T2 and the control transistor TC2 are turned on in response to the pre-enable signal PRE_EM. The voltage value at the second terminal of the capacitor Cp is limited to the voltage value of the power supply voltage ARVDD′ firstly before the driving period TD3. Therefore, during the driving period TD3, the decrease of the voltage value VG is limited. In this way, under low grayscale operation, the decrease of the voltage value VG can be reduced by the parasitic capacitor Cgd pulled down by the voltage value VA at the second terminal of the driving transistor T1. Therefore, under low grayscale operation, there will not be a transient large current flowing through the driving transistor T1, the second emitting transistor T5, and the electronic element EE, thereby preventing the electronic element EE from providing incorrect illumination under low grayscale operation.


In some embodiments, the electronic circuit 300 may not include the data control circuit 310.


Please refer to FIG. 8, which is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit illustrated according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

Control terminals of the first reset transistors T3_1, T3_2 receive a reset signal RST. In other words, the first reset transistor T3 in FIG. 3, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6 may be replaced by the first reset transistors T3_1, T3_2.


The second reset transistors T4_1, T4_2 are connected in series between the reference voltage ARVSS and the first terminal of the capacitor Cp.
