The present disclosure generally relates to the field of display technology and, more particularly, relates to a pixel circuit, a method for driving a pixel circuit, a display panel, and a display apparatus.
In recent years, display technology has been developed rapidly, and the types of display panels have become more and more abundant. Various types of display panels including liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, organic light-emitting display (OLED) panels, electronic paper display panels, micro-diode display panels, and sub-millimeter LED display panels have been developed.
The micro-diode display panel or the sub-millimeter LED display panel includes a pixel array; and the pixel array includes a plurality of pixels. In the plurality of pixels, micro-diodes or sub-millimeter LEDs are used as light-emitting devices. The display panel also includes pixel circuits for driving the light-emitting devices to emit light.
In the micro-diode display panel or the sub-millimeter LED display panel, the driving current of the pixel circuit needs to be in the order of several tens of milli-amperes, and the driving current is substantially large, which causes the temperature of the driving transistors in the pixel circuit to rise. Further, a large number of electrons in the driving transistors are directionally moved and accumulated for a long time, which affects the stability of the driving transistors, and easily causes the characteristics of the driving transistors to drift, and the characteristic shift degrees of different driving transistors are different, and problems, such as displaying “mura” and residual image, may occur. Accordingly, the display quality is reduced.
Therefore, there is a need to improve the stability of the driving transistors in the pixel circuit. The disclosed pixel circuit and driving method are directed to solve one or more problems set forth above and other problems in the art.
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include a data writing module, a driving transistor, a light-emitting control module, a light-emitting device, a first initialization module, a second initialization module, and a reset module. The data writing module is configured to transmit a data signal voltage to the driving transistor in response to a current-stage scan signal; the driving transistor is configured to generates a driving current according to the data signal voltage transmitted from the data writing module a voltage of a first terminal of the driving transistor is greater than a voltage of a second terminal of the driving transistor; the light-emitting control module is coupled between a first power source voltage signal terminal and a first terminal of the light-emitting device and configured to provide a driving current to the light-emitting device through the driving transistor in response to a current-stage light-emitting signal; the light-emitting device is configured to emit light in response to the driving current generated by the driving transistor; the first initialization module is electrically connected to a gate of the driving transistor and configured to provide a first initialization voltage to the gate of the driving transistor in response to a previous-stage scan signal; the second initialization module is electrically connected to the first terminal of the light-emitting device and configured to provide a second initialization voltage to the first terminal of the light-emitting device; the reset module is configured to cause a voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor to be greater than or equal to a voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor in response to a current-stage reset signal; and an enable signal of the current-stage reset signal appears after an enable signal of the current-stage light-emitting signal.

Other aspects of the present disclosure can be understood by those skilled in the art in light of the description, the claims, and the drawings of the present disclosure.
The following drawings are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrating embodiments of the present disclosure, and together with the detailed descriptions serve to explain the mechanism of the present disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, embodiments consistent with the disclosure will be described with reference to drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. It is apparent that the described embodiments are some but not all the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the disclosed embodiments, persons of ordinary skill in the art may derive other embodiments consistent with the present disclosure, all of which are within the scope of the present disclosure. Further, in the present disclosure, the disclosed embodiments and the features of the disclosed embodiments may be combined when there are no conflicts.
Certain techniques, methods, and apparatus that are understandable to the persons of ordinary skill in the art may not be described in detail. However, under appropriate conditions, such techniques, methods and apparatus are also included as the parts of the description.
In the disclosed embodiments, specific values may be explained for illustrative purposes and might not be used as limitations. Thus, embodiments may have different specific values.
Further, the similar symbols and letters in the drawings may denote similar elements. Thus, once one element is defined in one drawing, it may not need to be defined in the following drawings.
Further, the pixel circuit may include a light-emitting control module 20 and a light-emitting device LE. The light-emitting control module 20 may be coupled in series between a first power source voltage signal line “PVDD” and the first terminal of the light-emitting device LE, and may be configured to provide a driving current to the light-emitting device LE through the driving transistor T0 in response to a current-stage light-emitting signal “emit”.
The light-emitting device LE may be used to emit light in response to the driving current generated by the driving transistor T0;
Further, the pixel circuit may include a first initialization module 30 electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor T0; and configured to provide a first initialization voltage “ref1” to the gate of the driving transistor T0 in response to the previous-stage scan signal “scan1”.
Further, the pixel circuit may include a second initialization module 40 electrically connected to the first terminal of the light-emitting device LE; and configured to provide a second initialization voltage “ref2” to the first terminal of the light-emitting device LE in response to the previous-stage scan signal “scan1” or the current-stage scan signal “scan2”.
Further, the pixel circuit may include a reset module 50 configured to respond to a current-stage reset signal “scan3” to cause the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 to be greater than or equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0, and the enable signal of the current-stage reset signal “scan3” may appear after the enable signal of the current-stage lighting-emitting signal.
In the pixel circuit, the first initialization module 30 and the second initialization module 40 may be included. The first initialization module 30 may be used to initialize the gate of the driving transistor T0; and the second initialization module 40 may be used to initialize the first terminal of the light-emitting device LE.
The driving transistor T0 may be used to generate a driving current to drive the light-emitting device LE to emit light. When the driving transistor T0 generates a driving current, the voltage of the first terminal of the drive transistor T0 may be greater than the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0. Under such a condition, in the driving transistor T0, electrons may move from the second terminal to the first terminal.
To prevent electrons of the driving transistor T0 from accumulating after a long period of time movement to cause the characteristics of the driving transistor T0 to drift, in one embodiment, the reset module 50 is disposed in the pixel circuit. Further, the enable signal of the current-stage reset signal “scan3” may appear after the enable signal of the current-stage light-emitting signal. In another word, after the enable signal of the light-emitting signal controls the light-emitting device LE to emit light, the enable signal of the reset signal “scan3” may control the reset module 50 to be in operation. The reset module 50 may cause the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 to be greater than or equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0 in response to the enable signal of the current-stage reset signal “scan3”.
In particular, when the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 is greater than the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0, the electrons in the driving transistor T0 may move from the first terminal to the second terminal, the moving direction of the electrons may be opposite to the moving direction of the electrons of the driving current generated by the driving transistor T0. Thus, the characteristics of the driving transistor T0 may be shifted in an opposite direction. Thus, the characteristic drift of the driving transistor T0 may be opposite.
When the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 is equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0, there may be no voltage difference between the first terminal and the second terminal of the driving transistor T0. Thus, there may be no current flow. During the working period of the reset module 50, the driving transistor T0 may be no longer at a bias state. Thus, the problems, such as the characteristic drift and the heat generation of the driving transistor T0, may be reduced.
The driving transistor T0 may be an N-type transistor or a P-type transistor. The type of the driving transistor T0 may not be specifically limited by the present disclosure.
In one embodiment, the first terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be configured as a source and the second terminal may be configured as a drain according to the type of the transistor and the signal applied on the gate.

Thus, the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor
T0 may be equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0. During the time for the reset module 50 in operation, the driving transistor T0 may be no longer at a bias state. Thus, the problems, such as characteristic drift and heat generation, etc., of the driving transistor T0 may be reduced.
In another embodiment, the reset module 50 may be configured to cause the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 to be greater than the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0 in response to the current-stage reset signal “scan3”.

When the driving transistor T0 is an N-type transistor, the fourth transistor T4 may be configured to supply the reset voltage “vref” to the first terminal of the driving transistor T0.
In some embodiments, referring to
When the driving transistor T0 is a P-type transistor, the reset voltage “vref” may be greater than the first power source voltage “pvdd”. Thus, the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be greater than the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0.
When the driving transistor T0 is an N-type transistor, the reset voltage of the reset voltage terminal “VREF” may be equal to the voltage of the second terminal “pvee” of the light-emitting device LE. Thus, the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be greater than the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0. The voltage of the second terminal “pvee” of the light-emitting device LE may be provided by the second power source voltage signal line “PVEE”.

The present disclosure also provides a method for driving a pixel circuit.
As shown in
The method may also include turning on the data writing module 10 to transmit the data signal voltage “vdata” to the driving transistor T0 in a data writing phase T2 (S103). In the data writing phase T2, the previous-stage scan signal “scan1” may be a non-enable signal; the current-stage scan signal “scan2” may be an enable signal; the current-stage light-emitting signal “emit” may be a non-enable signal; and the current-stage reset signal “scan3” may be a non-enable signal.
Further, the method may include turning on the light-emitting control module 20 to supply a driving current to the light-emitting device LE through the driving transistor T0 to drive the light-emitting device LE to emit light in a light-emitting phase T3 (S104).

The second initialization module 40 may write the second initialization voltage “ref2” to the first terminal of the light-emitting device LE.
In the method for driving the pixel circuit, the gate of the driving transistor T0 may be initialized in the initialization phase T1. At the data writing phase T2, the data signal voltage “vdata” may be written to the pixel circuit. In the light-emitting phase T3, the light-emitting device LE may emit light in response to the driving current. When the driving transistor T0 generates the driving current, the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be greater than the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0. Under such a condition, the electrons in the driving transistor T0 may move from the second terminal to the first terminal. In the reset phase T4, the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be made larger than the voltage of the first terminal to cause the characteristic of the driving transistor T0 to be shifted an opposite direction. Thus, the technical effect of repairing the characteristic drift of the driving transistor T0 may be realized. In some embodiments, the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor T0 may be made equal to the voltage of the first terminal to cause the driving transistor T0 to be no longer at a bias state. Thus, the characteristic drift and the heat generation, etc., of the driving transistor T0 may be reduced. The first terminal of the light-emitting device LE may be initialized during the initialization phase T1, or during the data writing phase T2.
The N-type transistor is often turned on under the control of the high-level signal, and is turned off under the control of the low-level signal; and the P-type transistor is often turned on under the control of the low-level signal, and is turned off under the control of the high-level signal.
In one embodiment, for illustrative purposes, that each pixel in the pixel circuit is a P-type transistor is used as an example to describe the driving method of the pixel circuit. Under such a condition, the enable signal is a low-level signal, and the non-enable signal is a high-level signal. In some embodiments, when the transistors in the pixel circuit are N-type transistors, the enable signal is a high-level signal, and the non-enable signal is a low-level signal.

The display apparatus may have at least the beneficial effects of the disclosed display panel. The details of the display apparatus may be referred to the detailed description of the display panels and the pixel circuits.
The disclosed pixel circuit, the method for driving pixel circuit, the display panel and the display apparatus may achieve at least the following beneficial effects.
To prevent the accumulation of the electrons in the driving transistor caused by a long time movement along a certain direction and cause the shift of the characteristics, a reset module may be disposed in the pixel circuit, and an enable signal of the current-stage reset signal may appear after the enable signal of the current-stage light-emitting signal. In another word, after the enable signal of the light-emitting signal controls the light-emitting of the light-emitting device, the enable signal of the reset signal may control the reset module to be in operation. The reset module may be responsive to the enable signal of the current-stage reset signal such that the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor may be greater than or equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor.
When the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor is greater than the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor, the electrons in the driving transistor may be moved from the first terminal to the second terminal; and the moving direction of the electrons may be opposite to the moving direction of the electrons when the driving transistor generates the driving current. Therefore, the characteristics of the driving transistor may be oppositely shifted. Thus, the technical effect of repairing the characteristic drift of the driving transistor may be achieved.
When the voltage of the second terminal of the driving transistor is equal to the voltage of the first terminal of the driving transistor, there may be no voltage difference between the first terminal and the second terminal of the driving transistor. Thus, there may be no current flow. During the time period when the reset module is in operation, the driving transistor may be no longer at a bias state. Thus, problems, such as characteristic drift and heat generation of the driving transistor, may be reduced.
