CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is the U.S. national phase of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2019/076015 filed on Feb. 25, 2019, which claims a priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 201810550467.1 filed in China on May 31, 2018, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of optical signal noise reduction, in particular to an optical signal noise reduction circuit, an optical signal noise reduction method and a display panel.

BACKGROUND

In the related art, usually a compensation mode for a large-size Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) is an external electrical compensation mode. In this mode, it is merely able to compensate for a display abnormality caused by a change in a characteristic of Thin Film Transistor (TFT), rather than a display abnormality caused by the aging of a light-emitting material. During the optical detection, it is necessary to provide an interference-free environment. During the display, changes in a gate driving signal on a gate line and a data voltage across a data line lead to a remarkably large display noise, and a small optical signal is submerged in the noise, so the display and the optical detection cannot be performed simultaneously. In addition, due to the requirement on high resolution, it is more and more difficult to provide additional time for the optical detection. There is no such a noise cancellation scheme of performing the optical detection and the display simultaneously in the related art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following, the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in a clear and complete manner in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the following embodiments merely relate to a part of, rather than all of, the embodiments of the present disclosure, and based on these embodiments, a person skilled in the art may, without any creative effort, obtain the other embodiments, which also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

All transistors adopted in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be TFTs, Field Effect Transistors (FETs) or other elements having an identical characteristic. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to differentiate two electrodes other than a gate electrode from each other, one of the two electrodes is called as first electrode and the other is called as second electrode. In actual use, the first electrode may be a drain electrode while the second electrode may be a source electrode, or the first electrode may be a source electrode while the second electrode may be a drain electrode.

The present disclosure provides in some embodiments an optical signal noise reduction circuit which includes a reference line, a comparison detection circuitry and a photoelectric signal read line. An electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line includes a noise electric signal and a photoelectric signal. The reference line is configured to sense the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line, so as to generate a corresponding second electric signal on the reference line. The comparison detection circuitry is connected to the reference line and the photoelectric signal read line, and configured to acquire the photoelectric signal in accordance with the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line and the electric signal on the reference line.

According to the optical signal noise reduction circuit in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the comparison detection circuitry may acquire the photoelectric signal in accordance with the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line and the electric signal on the reference line. As a result, it is able to perform the optical detection and the display simultaneously, thereby to reduce a time period for the optical detection while eliminating a noise.

During the implementation, the reference line is configured to sense the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line, so as to generate the corresponding electric signal, i.e., there is only a small difference between a value of the electric signal on the reference line and a value of the noise electric signal. The electric signal on the reference line may be of a same type as the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line.

The optical signal noise reduction circuit in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to a pixel circuit. As shown in FIG. 1, the pixel circuit may include an optical detection sub-circuitry 10 connected to a photoelectric signal read line RL. The optical signal noise reduction circuit may include a reference line REFL, a comparison detection circuitry 11 and the photoelectric signal read line RL. An electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL may include a noise electric signal and a photoelectric signal. The reference line REFL is configured to sense the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL, so as to generate a corresponding electric signal. There is only a small difference between a value of the electric signal on the reference line REFL and a value of the noise electric signal. The electric signal on the reference line REFL may be of a same type as the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL. The comparison detection circuitry 11 is connected to the reference line REFL and the photoelectric signal read line RL, and configured to acquire the photoelectric signal in accordance with the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL and the electric signal on the reference line REFL.

According to the optical signal noise reduction circuit in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the comparison detection circuitry 11 may acquire the photoelectric signal in accordance with the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL and the electric signal on the reference line REFL. As a result, it is able to perform the optical detection and the display simultaneously, thereby to reduce a time period for the optical detection while eliminating a noise.

In actual use, the electric signal on the reference line REFL may be the noise electric signal generated due to the interference caused by a gate line and a data line, and the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL may include the noise electric signal and the photoelectric signal.

During the implementation, the electric signal on the reference line REFL may be of a same type as the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL, i.e., the electric signal on REFL and the electric signal on RL may each be a voltage signal. At this time, an absolute value of a difference between a voltage value of the voltage signal on REFL and a voltage value of a noise voltage signal included in the voltage signal on RL may be smaller than a predetermined voltage difference (in actual use, the predetermined voltage difference may be set according to the practical need, e.g., it may be, but not limited to, 0.1V). Alternatively, the electric signal on REFL and the electric signal on RL may each be a current signal. At this time, an absolute value of a difference between a current value of the current signal on REFL and a current value of a noise current signal included in the current signal on RL may be smaller than a predetermined current difference (in actual use, the predetermined current difference may be set according to the practical need, e.g., it may be, but not limited to, 0.05A). Alternatively, the electric signal on REFL and the electric signal on RL may each be a charge signal. At this time, an absolute value of a difference between a charge amount of the charge signal on REFL and a charge amount of a noise charge signal included in the charge signal on RL may be smaller than a predetermined charge amount difference (in actual use, the predetermined charge amount difference may be set according to the practical need).

During the implementation, the pixel circuit may further include a pixel sub-circuitry, a scanning control end of which is connected to the corresponding gate line, and a data write-in end of which is connected to the corresponding data line.

In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the reference line REFL and the photoelectric signal read line RL may be arranged at a display region of a display panel, the reference line REFL may extend in a same direction as the photoelectric signal read line RL, and a distance between the reference line REFL and the photoelectric signal read line RL may be smaller than a predetermined distance. It should be appreciated that, when the distance between REFL and RL is smaller than the predetermined distance, it means that the reference line REFL is located immediately adjacent to the photoelectric signal read line RL, and the predetermined distance may be set according to the practical need, e.g., the predetermined distance may be 1 μm, as long as the reference line REFL is capable of effectively sensing the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, through the additional reference line REFL located immediately adjacent to the photoelectric signal read line RL, the noise electric signal on the reference line REFL may be approximately the same as the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL.

In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the predetermined distance may be smaller than 5 μm, so that the reference line REFL is located immediately adjacent to the photoelectric signal read line RL.

In actual use, the reference line is arranged immediately adjacent to the photoelectric signal read line at the display region. Usually, a photoelectric signal read line in a column is shared by the pixel circuits in a column, so the reference line immediately adjacent to the photoelectric signal read line may have a same length as the photoelectric signal read line, and the reference line may be arranged parallel to the photoelectric signal read line.

In another possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the photoelectric signal read line may be arranged at the display region of the display panel, and the reference line may be arranged at a peripheral region surrounding the display region. The optical signal noise reduction circuit may further include a noise simulation circuitry, a light-shielding member, a virtual scanning line and a reference control line arranged at the peripheral region. The noise simulation circuitry may include a virtual pixel sub-circuitry and a virtual optical detection sub-circuitry. A data write-in end of the virtual pixel sub-circuitry may be connected to the data line, and a scanning control end of the virtual pixel sub-circuitry may be connected to the virtual scanning line. The virtual optical detection sub-circuitry may include a virtual switching control sub-circuitry and a virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry. The light-shielding member is configured to prevent the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry from receiving the optical signal. A control end of the virtual switching control sub-circuitry may be connected to the reference control line, a first end of the virtual switching control sub-circuitry may be connected to an output end of the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry, and a second end of the virtual switching control sub-circuitry may be connected to the reference line.

In actual use, the noise simulation circuitry (a structure of which will be described hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings) may be arranged at the peripheral region corresponding to the pixel circuits in a column, so as to simulate the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line. A virtual scanning signal on the virtual scanning line may be the same as a gate driving signal on the gate line, and the data write-in end of the virtual pixel sub-circuitry of the noise simulation circuitry may also be connected to the data line. Hence, the noise electric signal on the reference line connected to the noise simulation circuitry may be approximately the same as the noise electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line.

During the implementation, a data voltage across the data line connected to the virtual pixel sub-circuitry may be the same as a data voltage applied to the corresponding pixel circuit, and the virtual scanning signal on the virtual scanning line connected to the virtual pixel sub-circuitry may be the same as the gate driving signal on the gate line. The virtual pixel sub-circuitry may be arranged at the peripheral region, and it is configured to simulate the noise electric signal generated due to the interference caused by the gate line and the data line on the photoelectric signal read line, rather than to emit light for display.

A scanning control end of the pixel sub-circuitry 20 may be connected to a gate line GATE, and a data write-in end of the pixel sub-circuitry may be connected to a data line DATA.

The reference line REFL may be arranged immediately adjacent to the data line DATA, and an interference caused by GATE and DATA on REFL may be the same as an interference caused by GATE and DATA on RL. The reference line REFL may be arranged at the display region and extend in a same direction as the photoelectric signal read line RL, and a distance between the reference line REFL and the photoelectric signal read line RL may be smaller than a predetermined distance.

The reference line REFL may extend in a same direction as the photoelectric signal read line RL, and a distance between the reference line REFL and the photoelectric signal read line RL may be smaller than a predetermined distance (i.e., REFL may be located immediately adjacent to RL).

The pixel sub-circuitry 20, the optical detection sub-circuitry 10 and the reference line REFL may be arranged at the display region of the display panel, and the comparison detection circuitry may be arranged at the peripheral region surrounding the display region of the display panel.

The comparison detection circuitry may include the energy storage circuitry 111, the input control circuitry 112, the reset control circuitry 113, the discharging control circuitry 114 and the voltage detection circuitry 115.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, all the transistors are n-type transistors. However, in actual use, the transistors may also be p-type transistors, i.e., the types of the transistors will not be particularly defined herein.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, when Te is in a saturation state, ΔVs=(gm×Ro)×ΔVg/(1+gm×Ro), where Ro represents an equivalent resistance of the current source IS, gm represents a transconductance of the source follower transistor Te, ΔVs represents a change in a voltage applied to the source electrode of Te, and ΔVg represents a change in a voltage applied to the gate electrode of Te. When gm×Ro is sufficiently large, ΔVs may be approximately equal to ΔVg. Based on the above equation, a following coefficient sg of the source follower transistors Te may be equal to (gm×Ro)×/(1+gm×Ro).

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, gm and Ro may each be provided with a sufficiently large value, so as to enable sg to be approximately equal to 1, and enable ΔVs to be approximately equal to ΔVg.

As shown in FIG. 5, during the operation of the optical signal noise reduction circuit in FIG. 4, the corresponding line scanning stage may include an input time period S1, a detection time period S2 and a resetting time period S3 arranged in that order.

Within the input time period S1 of the corresponding line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, so as to enable OLED to emit light. PD may sense an optical signal from OLED, and convert the optical signal into a photoelectric signal. G2 may output a high level, G3 may output a low level, and G4 may output a low level, so as to turn on Ta and Tb, and turn off Tc and Td. Cst may be charged through the noise current signal on REFL and the photo current signal including the noise current signal on RL. At this time, a voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be a noise voltage, and a voltage applied to the second end B of Cst may include a noise voltage and a photo voltage. Hence, a difference between the voltage applied to the second end B of Cst and the voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be equal to the photo voltage. Within the input time period S1, Te may operate in the saturation state.

Within the detection time period S2 of the line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, and a value of a low voltage applied by ELVSS may be 0. G2 may output a low voltage, G3 may output a high voltage, and G4 may output a low voltage, so as to turn off Ta, Tb and Td, and turn on Tc, so the voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be 0. A difference between the voltages applied to two ends of Cst cannot change suddenly, so the voltage applied to the second end B of Cst may be just the photo voltage. At this time, Te may operate in the saturation stage. The voltage detection circuitry 115 may detect a voltage Vs applied to the source electrode of T2, and subtract an initial source voltage (i.e., a voltage applied to the source electrode of Te detected by the voltage detection circuitry 115 before S1 (i.e., at a moment immediately before S1)) from Vs, so as to acquire a voltage difference being equal to the photo voltage.

Within the resetting time period S3 of the corresponding line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, and G2, G3 and G4 may each output a high level, so as to turn on Ta, Tb, Tc, Td and TC, thereby to reset the voltages applied to the first end A and the second B of Cst, a voltage across REFL, a voltage across RL, and a voltage applied to the cathode of PD.

During the implementation, the pixel circuits in one column may correspond to one noise simulation circuitry arranged at the peripheral region, and the virtual scanning signal on GV may be the same as the gate driving signal on the gate line which is currently being scanned. Through the noise simulation circuitry, the interference caused by GV and DATA on REFL may be similar to the interference caused by GATE and DATA on the photoelectric signal read line RL of the pixel circuit, so the electric signal on REFL may be approximately the same as the noise electric signal on RL.

In actual use, the noise simulation circuitry may be of a same structure as the pixel circuitry.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, through the light-shielding member (not shown in FIG. 6), the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622 of the noise simulation circuitry is incapable of receiving the optical signal, so the electric signal on the reference line REFL may be merely the noise electric signal. The electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL may include the photoelectric signal and the noise electric signal, so the photoelectric signal may be acquired in accordance with the electric signal on REFL and the electric signal on RL.

Under the control of the reference control line GREF, the virtual switching control sub-circuitry 621 may control the output end of the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622 to be electrically connected to the reference line (at this time, the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622 is shielded by the light-shielding member, so the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622 may not receive the optical signal, and the virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622 is only subjected to the interference caused by GV and DATA but cannot perform photovoltaic conversion). Under the control of the first control line G2, the input control circuitry 112 may control the photoelectric signal read line RL to be electrically connected to the second end of the energy storage circuitry 111, so as to charge the energy storage circuitry 111 through the electric signal on the reference line REFL and the electric signal on the photoelectric signal read line RL, thereby to enable a difference between the voltages applied to the first end and the second end of the energy storage circuitry 111 to be the photoelectric signal.

The noise simulation circuitry may include a virtual pixel sub-circuitry 61 and a virtual optical detection sub-circuitry. The virtual optical detection sub-circuitry may include a virtual switching control sub-circuitry 621 and a virtual photoelectric detection sub-circuitry 622. The virtual pixel sub-circuitry 61 may include a virtual data write-in sub-circuitry 611, a virtual driving sub-circuitry, and a virtual light-emitting element (i.e., a virtual organic light-emitting diode OLEDV).

The virtual data write-in sub-circuitry 611 may include a virtual data write-in transistor TV1, and the virtual driving sub-circuitry may include a virtual driving transistor TV2. A gate electrode of the virtual data write-in transistor TV1 may be connected to the virtual scanning line GV, a drain electrode of the virtual data write-in transistor TV1 may be connected to the data line DATA, and a source electrode of the virtual data write-in transistor TV1 may be connected to a gate electrode of TV2.

In the embodiment of FIG. 8, all the transistors may be n-type transistors. However, in actual use, the transistors may alternately be p-type transistors, i.e., the types of the transistors will not be particularly defined herein.

In the embodiment of FIG. 8, a waveform of a reference control signal on GREF may be the same as a waveform of a first control signal on G2. The virtual scanning signal on GV may be the same as the gate driving signal on the gate line which is currently being scanned. For example, when the first gate line in the first row is being scanned (i.e., a first gate driving signal is applied to the first gate line in the first row to turn on the first gate line in the first row), the virtual scanning signal on GV may be the same as the first gate driving signal on the first gate line in the first row (the virtual scanning signal may also have a rising edge from a low level to a high level and a falling edge from a high level to a low level); when the second gate line in the second row is being scanned (i.e., a second gate driving scanning signal is applied to the second gate line in the second row to turn on the second gate line in the second row), the virtual scanning signal on GV may be the same as the second gate driving signal on the second gate line in the second row (the virtual scanning signal may also have a rising edge from a low level to a high level and a falling edge from a high level to a low level), and so on.

In the embodiment of FIG. 8, when Te is in the saturation state, ΔVs=(gm×Ro)×ΔVg/(1+gm×Ro), where Ro represents an equivalent resistance value of the current source IS, gm represents a transconductance of the source follower transistor Te, ΔVs represents a change in a voltage applied to the source electrode of Te, and ΔVg represents a change in a voltage applied to the gate electrode of Te. When gm×Ro is sufficiently large, ΔVs may be approximately equal to ΔVg. Based on the above equation, a following coefficient sg of the source follower transistors Te may be equal to (gm×Ro)×/(1+gm×Ro).

In the embodiment of FIG. 8, gm and Ro may each be provided with a sufficiently large value, so as to enable sg to be approximately equal to 1, and enable ΔVs to be approximately equal to ΔVg. The bias current is supplied for the operation of the source follower transistor Te.

As shown in FIG. 9, during the operation of the optical signal noise reduction circuit in FIG. 8, the corresponding line scanning stage may include an input time period S1, a detection time period S2 and a resetting time period S3 arranged sequentially in that order.

Within the input time period S1 of the corresponding line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, GV may output a high level, and OLED may start to emit light. PD may sense an optical signal from OLED, and convert the optical signal into a photoelectric signal. G2 may output a high level, GREF may output a high level, G3 may output a low level, and G4 may output a low level, so as to turn on TCV and T3, and turn off Tc and Td. Cst may be charged through the noise current signal on REFL and the photo current signal including the noise current signal on RL. At this time, a voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be a noise voltage, and a voltage applied to the second end B of Cst may include a noise voltage and a photo voltage. Hence, a difference between the voltage applied to the second end B of Cst and the voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be just the photo voltage. Within the input time period S1, Te may operate in the saturation state.

Within the detection time period S2 of the corresponding line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, and a value of a low voltage applied by ELVSS may be 0. G2 and GREF may each output a low voltage, G3 may output a high voltage, and G4 may output a low voltage, so as to turn off TCV, T3 and Td, and turn on Tc, so the voltage applied to the first end A of Cst may be 0. A difference between the voltages applied to two ends of Cst cannot change suddenly, so the voltage applied to the second end B of Cst may be just the photo voltage. At this time, Te may operate in the saturation stage. The voltage detection circuitry 115 may detect a voltage Vs applied to the source electrode of Te, and subtract an initial source voltage (i.e., a voltage applied to the source electrode of Te detected by the voltage detection circuitry 115 before S1 (i.e., at a moment immediately before S1)) from Vs, so as to acquire a voltage difference as the photo voltage.

Within the resetting time period S3 of the corresponding line scanning stage, GATE may output a high level, and GREF, G2, G3 and G4 may each output a high level, so as to turn on TCV, T3, Tc, Td and TC, thereby to reset the voltages applied to the first end A and the second end B of Cst, a voltage across REFL, a voltage across RL, a voltage applied to the cathode of PD, and a voltage applied to the cathode of PDV.
