The present disclosure generally relates to the field of display technology and, more particularly, relates to an organic light-emitting pixel driving circuit, a driving method thereof, and an organic light-emitting display panel.
An organic light-emitting display panel uses an organic light-emitting element to display images. The organic light-emitting display panel has been increasingly and widely applied to various kinds of electronic devices because of advantages such as fast response and low power consumption, etc.
Often, a display panel of the organic light-emitting display device includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, and each of the plurality of pixels includes an organic light-emitting element. Accordingly, the quality of the working status of the organic light-emitting element may directly impact the evenness and brightness of the display panel. The organic light-emitting element is a current-controlled module and is often driven using a current generated by the thin film transistor that is in a saturation state. Restricted by the fabrication process, the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistors, particularly the driving transistors fabricated by the low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology, have very poor evenness and may even drift, such that different driving currents may be generated when the same grey-scale voltage is inputted. The inconsistency in the driving current may cause the working status of the organic light-emitting element to be unstable, thereby rendering relatively poor evenness in the display brightness of the organic light-emitting display panel.

Further, the capacitor C1 may be configured to store the data signal voltage transmitted to the driving transistor DT. The light-emitting element EL may be configured to emit light in response to the driving current generated by the driving transistor DT.
In some embodiments, as shown in
By utilizing the voltage signal carried by the initialization signal line REF as the initialization signal to initiate the driving transistor DT and the light-emitting element the voltage level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the voltage level of the anode of the light-emitting element EL may be more stable.

More specifically, the first light-emitting control signal line E1 may output a first control signal, and the second light-emitting control signal line E2 may output a second control signal. The second control signal line E2 may control the fifth transistor T5 to be turned off, thereby controlling whether the light-emitting element EL is disconnected to the driving transistor DT or not. Accordingly, the phenomenon that the light-emitting element EL emits light due to the existence of a leakage current may be avoided.

Different from
That is, the first scanning signal line S1 may be configured to output a voltage signal to the driving transistor DT and the light-emitting element. EL to initiate the driving transistor DT and the light-emitting element EL. Because no additional signal line (e.g., the initialization signal line REF) is needed to provide the initialization voltage, the layout area of the organic light-emitting pixel driving circuit may be reduced.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Different from
Because the first light-emitting signal line E1 is multiplexed as the second light-emitting control signal line E2 to output the first control signal, as shown in
Though in the driving circuit diagrams illustrated in
Optionally, by using the same type of transistors in the organic light-emitting pixel driving circuit, the transistors in such driving circuit may be fabricated simultaneously, thereby simplifying the fabrication processes of the pixel driving circuit.
Hereinafter, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the driving transistor DT are all assumed to be PMOS transistors for illustrative purposes. Further,
As shown in
In the first stage P1, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second light-emitting control signal line E2, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fifth transistor T5. A high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2 and the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning off the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4.
Further, in the first stage P1, an initialization signal Vref may be supplied to the initialization signal line REF. Because the first transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage level of the anode of the light-emitting element EL may be thus equal to Vref. Further, because the fifth transistor T5 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may also be equal to Vref.
In the second stage P2, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3. A high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first light-emitting control line E1 and the second light-emitting control signal line E2, thereby turning off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
Further, in the second stage P2, a data signal voltage Vdata may be supplied to the data line D1, and the initialization signal Vref may be supplied to the initialization signal line REF. Because the third transistor T3 is turned on, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to Vdata. Further, because the second transistor T2 is turned on and the fifth transistor T5 is turned off, the voltage level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may reach a value of Vdata−|Vth|, where |Vth| is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT.
In the first sub-stage P31 of the third stage P3, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2, and a high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1, the first light-emitting control signal line E1, and the second light-emitting control signal line E2. Accordingly, the third transistor T3 may be turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 may be turned off. Further, the voltage level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may remain to be Vdata−|−Vth|.
In the second sub-stage P32 of the third stage P3, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal line E1, and a high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1, the second scanning signal line S2, and the second light-emitting control signal line E2. Accordingly, the fourth transistor T4 may be turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the fifth transistor T5 may be turned off.
Further, in the second sub-stage P32, a first power supply voltage signal PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD. Because the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to PVDD. Further, the voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may remain to be Vdata−|Vth|.
In the fourth stage P4, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal line E1 and the second light-emitting control signal line E1 thereby turning on the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. A high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning off the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3.
Further, in the fourth stage P4, the first power supply voltage PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD. Because the fourth transistor T4 is turned on and due to the coupling effect of the capacitor C1, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may still be equal to PVDD, and the voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may still be equal to Vdata−|Vth|. Further, the driving transistor DT may be turned on, and because the fifth transistor T5 is also turned on, the light-emitting element EL may emit light.
As seen from the equation of light-emitting current (i.e., Ioled∞(Vsg−|Vth|)2), in the fourth stage P4, the light-emitting current Ioled that flows through the light-emitting element EL may be proportional to the square of the difference between the gate-source voltage Vsg and the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT. In particular, the gate-source voltage Vsg may refer to a voltage difference between the gate electrode and the source electrode of the driving transistor DT. That is, the gate-source voltage Vsg of the driving transistor DT may equal to Vs−Vg (i.e., Vsg=Vs−Vg).
Further, because in the fourth stage P4, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DTs equal to PVDD and the voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT is equal to Vdata−|Vth|, the aforementioned light-emitting current Ioled (i.e., the driving current) may be expressed as follows:
Ioled∞(Vsg−|Vth|)2=(Vs−Vg−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata+|Vth|−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata)2.
From the above-described equation, the light-emitting current (i.e., the driving current) Ioled of the light-emitting element EL may not be related to the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT, and the compensation for the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT may be realized.
In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting pixel driving circuit shown in
Different from using the timing sequence in
More specifically, in the first stage, a low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second light-emitting control signal line E2, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the fifth transistor T5. A high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2 and the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning off the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4. Because the first transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage level or the anode of the light-emitting element EL may equal to the voltage level of the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1. Further, because the second transistor T2 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, the low voltage level signal VGL may be transmitted to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT. Accordingly, the voltage level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may equal to the voltage level of the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1.
In the first stage P1, the low voltage level signal may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning off the third transistor T3. Further, the first power supply voltage PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD.
Because the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be PVDD. Further, because the first transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage level of the anode of the light-emitting element EL may equal to the voltage level of the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1.
Further, because the fifth transistor T5 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, the voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may equal to the voltage level of the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1. By then, the driving transistor DT may be turned on. Further, because the voltage level of the anode of the light-emitting element EL is the low voltage level signal VGL, the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode is too low to drive the light-emitting element EL, thus, the light-emitting element EL may not emit light.
In the second stage P2, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal E1, thereby turning off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. The data signal voltage Vdata may be supplied to the data signal line D1, and because the third transistor T3 is turned on, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor may be equal to Vdata.
Further, the voltage level of the gate electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may reach Vdata−|Vth|, where |Vth| is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT. By then, the anode of the light-emitting element EL may still receive the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1, and the light-emitting element EL may not emit light.
In the third stage P3, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning on the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning off the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3.
Further, in the third stage P3, the first power supply voltage PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD, and because the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to PVDD. The voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may be equal to Vdata−|Vth|. By then, the driving transistor DT may be turned on, a driving current may be generated, and the light-emitting element EL may emit light.
From the equation of light-emitting current, in the third stage P3, the light-emitting current (i.e., the driving current) Ioled that flows through the light-emitting element EL may be proportional to the square of the difference between the gate-source voltage Vsg (the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the source electrode) and the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT. More specifically, the gate-source voltage Vsg of the driving transistor DT may equal to Vs−Vg (i.e., Vsg=Vs−Vg). Accordingly, the aforementioned driving current may be expressed as follows:
Ioled∞(Vsg−|Vth|)2=(Vs−Vg−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata+|Vth|−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata)2.
From the above-described equation, the driving current Ioled of the light-emitting element EL may not be related to the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT, and the compensation for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT may be realized.
More specifically, in the first stage P1, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and fifth transistor T5. The high voltage level signal may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning off the third transistor T3. The first power supply voltage PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD.
Accordingly, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to PVDD. The voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT and the voltage level of the anode of the light-emitting element EL may be equal to the voltage level of the low voltage level signal VGL carried by the first scanning signal line S1. By then, the driving transistor DT may be turned on. Because the voltage level (VGL) of the anode of the light-emitting element EL is lower than the voltage level of the second power supply voltage end PVEE, the light-emitting element EL may not emit light.
In the second stage P2, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning on the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. Further, the data signal voltage Vdata may be supplied to the data D1.
Accordingly, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to Vdata, and the voltage level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may reach Vdata−|Vth|. The |Vth| here may refer to the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT. By then, the anode of the light-emitting element EL may still receive the low voltage signal VGL outputted by the first scanning signal line S1, and the light-emitting element EL may not emit light.
In the third stage P3, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning on the third transistor T3. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning off the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor TS. Further, the data signal voltage Vdata may be supplied to the data line D1. Accordingly, the voltage level of the first electrode (e.g., the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to Vdata.
In the fourth stage P4, the low voltage level signal VGL may be supplied to the first light-emitting control signal line E1, thereby turning on the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. The high voltage level signal VGH may be supplied to the first scanning signal line S1 and the second scanning signal line S2, thereby turning off the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3. Further, the first power supply voltage PVDD may be supplied to the first power supply voltage end PVDD.
Accordingly, the voltage level Vs of the first electrode (e.g., the first electrode) of the driving transistor DT may be equal to PVDD. The voltage level Vg of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DT may be Vdata−|Vth|. The driving transistor DT may be turned on, and a driving current may be generated, such that the light-emitting element EL may emit light.
Accordingly, the light-emitting current (i.e., the driving current) Ioled that generated by the driving transistor DT may be proportional to the square of the difference between the gate-source voltage Vsg (the voltage difference between the gate electrode and the source electrode) of the driving transistor DT and the threshold voltage |Vth|. More specifically, the aforementioned driving current may be expressed as follows:
Ioled∞(Vsg−|Vth|)2=(Vs−Vg−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata+|Vth|−|Vth|)2=(PVDD−Vdata)2.
From the above-described equation, the driving current Ioled of the light-emitting element EL may not be related to the threshold voltage |Vth| of the driving transistor DT, and the compensation for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DT may be realized.
