The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201910587538.X, filed on Jun. 28, 2019, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and particularly, to an organic light-emitting display panel and an organic light-emitting display device.
With the increase of consumption, since an efficiency of a blue sub-pixel in an organic light-emitting display panel is low, a current Ib that is required for the blue sub-pixel is approximately twice a current Ir for a red sub-pixel and a current Ig for a green pixel to achieve the same brightness, i.e., Ir=Ig=½Ib. Due to a design of a large-sized panel, a voltage drop of a power supply voltage at an end far away from a driving chip integrated circuit (IC) becomes larger, for example, the voltage drop at an end far away from the IC is ΔV.

As mentioned in the technical background, referring to
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel that can solve problems mentioned above.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel including sub-pixels 20 and pixel driving circuits 30 for driving the sub-pixels 20. The sub-pixels 20 include a first sub-pixel 201 and a second sub-pixel 202. The pixel driving circuits 30 include a first pixel driving circuit 301 and a second pixel driving circuit 302. The first pixel driving circuit 301 drives the first sub-pixel 201 and includes a first driving transistor 401, and the second pixel driving circuit 302 drives the second sub-pixel 202 and includes a second driving transistor 402. An operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at a preset grayscale is n times an operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, where n≥1.5. Therefore, according to the Ids-Vgs curve of the driving transistor in
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the organic light-emitting display panel further includes a third sub-pixel 203 and a third pixel driving circuit 303 for driving the third sub-pixel 203. The third pixel driving circuit 303 includes a third driving transistor. An operating current of the third sub-pixel 203 at the preset grayscale is m times the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, where 0.9≤m≤1.1. The number of third driving transistors is equal to the number of second driving transistors 402. Since a difference between the operating current of the third sub-pixel 203 at the preset grayscale and the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale is not greater than 10%, a deviation of the reduction value of brightness is relatively small. And according to the Ids-Vgs curve in
In an embodiment, an efficiency of a phosphorescent material is far higher than an efficiency of a fluorescent material, but a lifetime of the phosphorescent material is shorter than a lifetime of the fluorescent material. With the development of systems of materials, in order to ensure the lifetime of the blue sub-pixel, the blue sub-pixel is made of the fluorescent material. The lifetime of the red sub-pixel and the lifetime of the green sub-pixel are each longer than the lifetime of the blue sub-pixel, so the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel are made of the phosphorescent material with a higher efficiency. Accordingly, the blue sub-pixel has a lower efficiency and requires a greater driving current under a same grayscale. In an embodiment, the first sub-pixel 201 is the blue sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel 202 is the red sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel 203 is the green sub-pixel. The number of the second driving transistors is 1, the number of the third driving transistors are 1, and the number of the first driving transistors is 2. The two first driving transistors are the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b, respectively. In an embodiment, the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b are connected with each other in parallel so as to divide the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale into at least two parts, e.g., one part generated by the first driving sub-transistor 401a and another part generated by the second driving sub-transistor 401b. Therefore, an operating current flowing through the first driving sub-transistor 401a and an operating current flowing through the second driving sub-transistor 401b are reduced and then slopes of their operating current ranges on the Ids-Vgs curve of the driving transistor b increase, which causes a current drop corresponding to the blue sub-pixel to be greater than both a current drop corresponding to the red sub-pixel and a current drop corresponding to the green sub-pixel, and a reduction value of brightness of the blue sub-pixel to be substantially the same as both a reduction value of brightness of the red sub-pixel and a reduction value of brightness of the green sub-pixel. A ratio of brightness of the blue sub-pixel to the red sub-pixel to the green sub-pixel remains unchanged, thereby avoiding the color cast.
In some embodiments, a driving current generated by the driving transistor is I=½Cox μ*W/L (Vgs−Vth)2, where Cox is a parameter related to the driving transistor, W/L is a width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor, Vgs is a voltage difference between a gate electrode and a source electrode of the driving transistor, and Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor. In order to precisely control a current of the first driving transistor at the preset grayscale to be n times a current of the second driving transistor at the preset grayscale, in an embodiment, without changing other parameters of the driving transistors, a width-to-length ratio of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and a width-to-length ratio of the second driving sub-transistor 401b are set to control the current of the first driving transistor at the preset grayscale to be n times the current of the second driving transistor at the preset grayscale. In an embodiment, a width-to-length ratio of the first driving sub-transistor is W1a/L1a, a width-to-length ratio of the second driving sub-transistor is W1b/L1b, and a width-to-length ratio of the second driving transistor 402 is W2/L2, where W1a/L1a+W1b/L1b=n*W2/L2. Then according to an equation of the driving current, a total driving current generated by the first driving sub-transistor and the second driving sub-transistor which are connected in parallel to the first sub-pixel 201 is I1, where I1=Ia+Ib=½Cox μ*W1a/L1a (Vgs−Vth)2+½Cox μ*W1b/L1b (Vgs−Vth)2=½Cox μ(W1a/L1a+W1b/L1b)*(Vgs−Vth)2. A current generated by the second sub-pixel 202 is I2, where I2=½Cox μ*W2/L2 (Vgs−Vth)2. Since W1a/L1a+W1b/L1b=n*W2/L2, then I1=n*I2. Therefore, in the described embodiment, it is ensured that the driving current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is n times the driving current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale. At the end that is far away from the IC, when a voltage drop ΔV is generated due to a resistance of a signal line, a current drop correspondingly generated by the first sub-pixel 201 is ΔI3=ΔIa+ΔIb, where ΔIa represents a current drop caused by the first driving sub-transistor, and ΔIb represents a current drop caused by the second driving sub-transistor. A current drop correspondingly generated by the second sub-pixel 202 is ΔI4, and the driving current for the first sub-pixel is generated respectively by the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b. Therefore, an operating current flowing through the first driving sub-transistor 401a and an operating current flowing through the second driving sub-transistor 401b decrease, and then slopes of their operating current ranges on the Ids-Vgs curve of the driving transistor increase. In this way, ΔI3 is substantially equivalent to n times ΔI4, which causes the current drop corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 to be greater than the current drop corresponding to the second sub-pixel 202, and the reduction value of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to be substantially the same as the reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel 202. The ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged, thereby avoiding the color cast.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first driving sub-transistor, the second driving sub-transistor, and the second driving transistor have a same length. Thus, for the first driving sub-transistor and the second driving sub-transistor, a driving current of the first driving sub-transistor and a driving current of the second driving sub-transistor are reduced without increasing layout space. A length L1a of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is equal to a length L1b of the second driving sub-transistor 401b and is also equal to a length L2 of the second driving transistor 402, and W1a+W1b=n*W2. According to this embodiment, W1a/L1a+W1b/L1b=n*W2/L2 and I1=n*I2. At the end that is far away from the IC, when the voltage drop ΔV is generated by the resistance on the signal line, a current drop generated corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 is ΔI3=ΔIa+ΔIb, where ΔIa represents a current drop caused by the first driving sub-transistor; and ΔIb represents a current drop caused by the second driving sub-transistor. A current drop generated corresponding to the second sub-pixel 202 is ΔI4. Since the driving current for the first sub-pixel is generated respectively by the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b, the operating current flowing through the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the operating current flowing through the second driving sub-transistor 401b decrease, and then slopes of their operating current ranges on the Ids-Vgs curve of the driving transistor increase. Thus, ΔI3 is substantially equivalent to n*ΔI4, so that a current drop corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 is greater than a current drop corresponding to the second sub-pixel 202, and a reduction value of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 and a reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel 202 are substantially the same. Therefore, a ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged and therefore the color cast is avoided.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first driving sub-transistor, the second driving sub-transistor, and the second driving transistor have a same width. A width W1a of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is equal to a width W1b of the second driving sub-transistor 401b and is also equal to a width W2 of the second driving transistor 402, and L1a*L1b/(L1a+L1b)=L2/n. According to this embodiment, W1a/L1a+W1b/L1b=n*W2/L2 and I1=n*I2. At the end far away from the IC, when a voltage drop ΔV is generated by the resistance on the signal line, the current drop generated corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 is ΔI3=ΔIa+ΔIb, where ΔIa represents a current drop caused by the first driving sub-transistor; and ΔIb represents a current drop caused by the second driving sub-transistor. The current drop corresponding to the second sub-pixel 202 is ΔI4. Since the driving current for the first sub-pixel is generated respectively by the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b, the operating current flowing through the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the operating current flowing through the second driving sub-transistor 401b decrease, and then slopes of their operating current ranges on the Ids-Vgs curve of the driving transistor increases. Thus, ΔI3 is substantially equivalent to n*ΔI4, so that the current drop corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 is greater than the current drop corresponding to the second sub-pixel 202, and the reduction value of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 and the reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel 202 are substantially the same. Therefore, the ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged and therefore the color cast is avoided.
In another embodiment of the present application, n=2, the operating current I1 of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is twice the operating current I2 of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, W1a/L1a=W2/L2, and W1b/L1b=W2/L2. The width-to-length ratio of the first driving sub-transistor 401a, the width-to-length ratio of the second driving sub-transistor 401b, and the width-to-length ratio of the second driving transistor 402 are the same in this embodiment. According to this embodiment, since the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 is twice the second sub-pixel 202, i.e., I1=2*I2, and the first sub-driving transistor 401a and the second sub-driving transistor 401b have the same width-to-length ratio, then each of the currents flowing through the first sub-driving transistor 401a and through the second sub-driving transistor 401b is half of the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201, that is, ½ I1. Because I1=2*I2, then each of the driving current flowing through the first sub-driving transistor 401a and the driving current flowing through the second sub-driving transistor 401b is I2. According to I=½Cox μ*W/L (Vgs−Vth)2, W1a/L1a=W2/L2 and W1b/L1b=W2/L2, the driving current flowing through the second driving transistor is also I2. Because the three transistors have the same width-to-length ratio, then Ids-Vgs curves of the three transistors coincide with each other. In addition, since driving currents of the first driving sub-transistor 401a, the second driving sub-transistor 401b and the second driving transistor 402 are the same, their slopes within the operating current range are the same. Therefore, the first driving sub-transistor 401a, the second driving sub-transistor 401b and the second driving transistor 402 generate the same current drop under a same voltage drop, that is, ΔIa=ΔIb=ΔI4, where ΔIa represents the current drop caused by the first driving sub-transistor, ΔIb represents the current drop caused by the second driving sub-transistor, and ΔI4 represents the current drop caused by the second driving transistor. Therefore, the current drop of the first sub-pixel 201 is an addition of current drops of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b, and the current drop corresponding to the first sub-pixel 201 is twice the current drop of the second sub-pixel 202. Further, because the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is twice the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, the reduction value of brightness of the first sub-pixel is the same as the reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel, so that the ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged and thus the color cast is avoided.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, n=1.5, i.e., the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is 1.5 times the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale; W1a/L1a=0.5W2/L2, and W1b/L1b=W2/L2; or, W1a/L1a=W2/2*L2, and W1b/L1b=W2/L2. In addition, according to I=½Cox μ*W/L (Vgs−Vth)2, then I1=1.5*I2, and 2*Ia=Ib=I2, where Ia is a driving circuit generated by the first driving sub-transistor; Ib is a driving current generated by the second driving sub-transistor, and I2 is a driving current generated by the second driving transistor. According to the foregoing analysis, the second driving sub-transistor 401b and the second driving transistor 402 can generate a same current drop, the width-to-length ratio of the first driving sub-transistor is half of the width-to-length ratio of the second driving sub-transistor, the current drop of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is half of the current drop of the second driving sub-transistor 401b, and the current drop of the first sub-pixel 201 is 1.5 times the current drop of the second sub-pixel 202. Further, since the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is 1.5 times the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, the reduction values of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 is substantially equivalent to the reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel 202, so that the ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged and thus the color cast is avoided.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, n=1.5, i.e., the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is 1.5 times the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale; W1a/L1a=0.75*W2/L2, and W1b/L1b=0.75*W2/L. In addition, according to I=½Cox μ*W/L (Vgs−Vth)2, I1=1.5*I2, and Ia=Ib=0.75*I2. The first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b can generate a same current drop, and therefore the current drop of the first sub-pixel 201 is 1.5 times the current drop of the second sub-pixel 202. Further, since the operating current of the first sub-pixel 201 at the preset grayscale is 1.5 times the operating current of the second sub-pixel 202 at the preset grayscale, the reduction value of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 is substantially equivalent to the reduction value of brightness of the second sub-pixel 202, so that the ratio of brightness of the first sub-pixel 201 to the second sub-pixel 202 remains unchanged and thus the color cast is avoided. In this embodiment, the gate electrode of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the second driving sub-transistor 401b; the first electrode of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is electrically connected to the first electrode of the second driving sub-transistor 401b; and a second electrode of the first driving sub-transistor 401a is electrically connected to the second electrode of the second driving sub-transistor 401b. That is, the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b are connected in parallel, and in addition, the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b have the same width-to-length ratio, such that the threshold voltage of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the threshold voltage of the second driving sub-transistor 401b are the same, and can be compensated simultaneously.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to
The pixel driving circuit 30 further includes an initialization signal terminal VREF, a data signal terminal DATA, a gate initialization transistor 42, an anode initialization transistor 43, a data writing transistor 44, a power supply voltage writing transistor 46, a compensation transistor 45 and a light-emitting control transistor 47. The gate initialization transistor 42 is connected in series between the initialization signal terminal VREF and the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40 and is configured to transmit an initialization signal REF to the gate electrode of the driving transistor under a control of a first scanning control signal SCAN1. The anode initialization transistor 43 is connected in series between the initialization signal terminal VREF and the anode of the sub-pixels and is configured to transmit the initialization signal REF to the anode of the sub-pixels under a control of the first scanning control signal SCAN1 or a second scanning control signal SCAN2. The data writing transistor 44 is connected in series between the data signal terminal DATA and the first electrode of the initialization transistor 42 and is configured to transmit a data signal VDATA to the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40 under a control of the second scanning control signal SCAN2. The compensation transistor 45 is connected in series between the second electrode and the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40 and is configured to compensate a deviation of a threshold voltage of the driving transistor 40 under the control of the second scanning control signal SCAN2. The power supply voltage writing transistor 46 is connected in series between the first power supply voltage terminal PVDD and the first electrode of the driving transistor 40 and is configured to transmit a first power supply voltage VDD to the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40 under a control of a light-emitting control signal EMIT. The light-emitting control transistor 47 is connected in series between the second electrode of the driving transistor 40 and the anode of the sub-pixels and is configured to transmit a driving current generated by the driving transistor 40 to the sub-pixels under a control of the light-emitting control signal EMIT.
During an initialization period T0, the first scanning control signal SCAN1 is at an effective level, and the second scanning control signal SCAN2 and the light-emitting control signal EMIT are at a cut-off level. The effective level herein refers to a level that can make the controlled transistor be in a turn-on state. For example, in a pixel driving circuit of a PMOS type, the effective level is a low level. The gate initialization transistor 42 is turned on and transmits the initialization signal REF to both the driving transistor 40 and an organic light-emitting element OLED to reset the driving transistor 40 and the organic light-emitting element OLED.
During a data writing period T1, the second scanning control signal SCAN2 is at an effective level, and the first scanning control signal SCAN1 and the light-emitting control signal EMIT are at a cut-off level; the data writing transistor 44 writes the data signal VDATA into a node of the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40. At this time, the compensation transistor T5 is also in a turn-on state, the data signal VDATA is transmitted to the gate electrode of the driving transistor 40 through the first electrode of the data writing transistor 44, the driving transistor 40 and the compensation transistor 45, a potential REF stored at a previous moment in the gate electrode of the driving transistor is elevated until the potential of the gate electrode of the driving transistor is VDATA-Vth, and then the driving transistor 40 is turned off. At this moment, the potential of the gate electrode of the driving transistor is VDATA-Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. Due to variability in the manufacturing process of the transistors, the threshold voltages of transistors on the display panel are different even if the same process parameters are adopted to manufacturing the transistors, and as the use time increases, the threshold voltage of the transistor also drifts because of aging, which causes different positions of the display panel to have different brightness even if a same data signal is written in the different positions, thus causing uneven display and color drift. In the present embodiment, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor 40 is collected and stored in the gate electrode of the driving transistor so as to eliminate an influence of the threshold voltage on the luminescence brightness.
During a light-emitting period T2, the light-emitting control signal EMIT is at an effective level, and the first scanning control signal SCAN1 and the second scanning control signal SCAN2 are at a cut-off level; the power voltage writing transistor 46 is turned on, and the first power supply voltage VDD is transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor 40 to make the driving transistor 40 generate a driving current; and the light-emitting control transistor 47 is turned on to transmit the driving current to the organic light-emitting element OLED. The driving current generated by the driving transistor DT is Ids=½Cox μ*W/L*(Vsg−Vth){circumflex over ( )}2=½Cox μ*W/L*(VDD−(VDATA−Vth)−Vth){circumflex over ( )}2=½Cox μ*W/L*(VDD-VDATA){circumflex over ( )}2. It can be seen that, after a compensation during the data writing period T1, a luminescence current in the present embodiment depends on the written data signal, and is independent to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor 40, thereby eliminating the effect of unevenness and drifting of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor on the luminescence current.
In an embodiment, referring to
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first pixel driving circuit 301 includes a first storage capacitor CST1, and the second pixel driving circuit 302 includes a second storage capacitor CST2. A capacitance of the first storage capacitor CST1 is greater than a capacitance of the second storage capacitor CST2. Since the driving current of the first sub-pixel 201 is greater, an area of the first sub-pixel is set to be larger in order to ensure that a lifetime of the first sub-pixel approximates a lifetime of the second sub-pixel. Additionally, a charging time of the first sub-pixel is shorter. In this embodiment, the setting that the capacitance of the first storage capacitor CST1 is greater than the capacitance of the second storage capacitor CST2 can reduce a leakage current of the first sub-pixel.
In an embodiment, referring to
The first driving sub-transistor 401a includes a third linear portion Z3, a second bending portion W2, and a fourth linear portion Z4, which are connected to each other. The second driving sub-transistor 401b includes a fifth linear portion Z5, a third bending portion W3 and the sixth linear portion Z6, which are connected to each other. The third bending portion W3 and the second bending portion W2 are axisymmetric to each other about an extending line of the third linear portion Z3. The fifth linear portion Z5 is used as the third linear portion Z3 and the sixth linear portion Z6 is used as the fourth linear portion Z4. The layouts of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b in the present embodiment allows to design the width-to-length ratios of the two in a limited space to improve the utilization of the space. Such symmetrical distribution facilitates setting the width-to-length ratios of the two to be consistent, such that the two can be compensated simultaneously. Further referring to
In some embodiments, the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b are axisymmetric to each other about an axis of symmetry L1, the axis of symmetry L1 being the extending line of the third linear portion. The first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b can have a same shape, which, not only from parameters but also from manufacturing processes, maintains a same drift of the threshold voltage of the two for a long using time, and therefore allows both sub-transistors to be compensated correctly. The symmetrical design occupies less space in the layout than does a translation design, and facilitates the uniform design of each of the first pixel driving circuit and the second pixel driving circuit.
In some embodiments, in order to improve a consistency of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and the second driving sub-transistor 401b so as to allow the first sub-driving transistor 401a and the second sub-driving transistor 401b to have the same threshold voltage drift, a maximum distance between the second bending portion W2 and the third bending portion W3 is smaller than a preset threshold. The pixel driving circuit 30 is made of a low temperature poly-silicon semiconductor, and the preset threshold is equal to a step value of laser crystallization for the low temperature poly-silicon semiconductor. Semiconductor layers of the first driving sub-transistor and the second driving sub-transistor are subjected to a same laser crystallization treatment by laser with a same degree of crystallization, so that parameters of the first driving sub-transistor and the driving sub-transistor are the same.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the first pixel driving circuit 301 includes a first storage capacitor CST1. The first storage capacitor CST1 includes a first electrode plate located in a gate electrode layer and a second electrode plate located in the capacitor metal layer. The first electrode plate serves as a gate electrode of the first driving transistor 401. In order to make a potential of the gate electrode of the first driving sub-transistor 401a and a potential of the gate electrode of the second driving sub-transistor 401b identical so as to allow a same threshold voltage shift of the two, it is set that the second electrode plate includes a first via hole K1, a second electrode of the gate initialization transistor includes a connection portion located in a source/drain metal layer, and the connection portion is electrically connected to the first electrode plate through the first via hole K1. A distance H1 between the first via hole K1 and the first driving sub-transistor is equal to a distance H2 between the first via hole K1 and the second driving sub-transistor. Therefore, potentials of gate electrodes for the two sub-transistors are identical, threshold voltages of the two are identical, and then the two can be correctly compensated simultaneously.
