Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a display; in particular, to a pixel circuit and an operating method thereof applied to a micro light-emitting diode (uLED) display.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Generally, in a pixel circuit of a conventional active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display, a light-emitting diode is coupled to a ground voltage in a general configuration instead of being coupled to an operating voltage.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the pixel circuit 1 includes a light-emitting diode LED, a first transistor T1 to a fourth transistor T4 and a first capacitor C1 to a second capacitor C2. The third transistor T3 and the second transistor T2 are coupled in series between the first voltage (the operating voltage) OVDD and the first node N1; the first capacitor C1 is coupled to the second node N2 and the third node N3; the second node N2 is located between the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the second transistor T2; the third node N3 is located between the fourth transistor T4 and the first node N1; the second capacitor C2 is coupled between the fourth node N4 and the first node N1; the fourth node N4 is located between the first voltage OVDD and the third transistor T3; the light-emitting diode LED is coupled between the first node N1 and the second voltage (the ground voltage) OVSS. The gate of the first transistor T1 is controlled by the first control signal SCN; the gate of the third transistor T3 is controlled by the second control signal EM; the gate of the fourth transistor T4 is controlled by the third control signal RST. The first transistor T1 is coupled to the data signal DAT; the fourth transistor T4 is coupled to the voltage signal VSU.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 illustrates a timing diagram of the first control signal SCN, the second control signal EM, the third control signal RST, the data signal DAT and the voltage signal VSU in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first period t1, the second period t2, the third period t3 and the fourth period t4 are defined as a reset period, a compensation period, a data writing period, and a light-emitting period respectively.

During the first period (the reset period) t1, only the first control signal SCN and the third control signal RST are at high-level HL, and the second control signal EM and the voltage signal VSU are at low-level LL. The data signal DAT has a low-level reference voltage VREF.

During the second period (the compensation period) t2, only the first control signal SCN and the second control signal EM are at high-level HL, and the third control signal RST and the voltage signal VSU are at low-level LL and the data signal DAT has a low-level reference voltage VREF.

During the third period (the data writing period) t3, only the first control signal SCN is at high-level HL and the data signal DAT has a high-level data voltage VDAT, and the second control signal EM, the third control signal RST and the voltage signal VSU are at low-level LL.

During the fourth period (the light-emitting period) t4, only the second control signal EM is at high-level HL, and the first control signal SCN, the third control signal RST and the voltage signal VSU are at low-level LL and the data signal DAT has a low-level reference voltage VREF.

It can be seen from the above that the compensation period and the data writing period of the conventional pixel circuit 1 are separated from each other, that is to say, the compensation operation and the data writing operation are not performed simultaneously, resulting in a relatively short compensation time. In addition, the light-emitting diode current flowing through the light-emitting diode LED in the fourth period (the light-emitting period) t4 is not only related to the data voltage VDAT and the reference voltage VREF, but also related to the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2 and the capacitance of the light-emitting diode; that is to say, the light-emitting diode current will change with the equivalent capacitance of the light-emitting diode.

However, according to the experimental data, in the case that the cross-voltage is 0 volt, the capacitance values of the Red organic light-emitting diode, the Green organic light-emitting diode and the Blue organic light-emitting diode are 1 pF, 354 fF and 263 fF respectively, and the capacitance of the red organic light-emitting diode is not fixed before the cross-voltage is 0 volt, so that the conventional pixel circuit 1 is easily affected by the equivalent capacitance of the light-emitting element and becomes unstable.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is a pixel circuit. In this embodiment, the pixel circuit is applied to the uLED display and the pixel circuit having the “6T1C” structure formed by six transistors and a capacitor, and the light-emitting diode is arranged in an inverted configuration, that is, the light-emitting diode is coupled to the operating voltage instead of the ground voltage, but not limited to this.

Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of the pixel circuit 3 in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the pixel circuit 3 includes a light-emitting diode LED, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, and a sixth transistor T6 and a capacitor C.

The light-emitting diode LED is coupled between the first voltage OVDD and the first node N1. The first transistor T1 is coupled between the first node N1 and the second node N2. The second transistor T2 is coupled between the second node N2 and the second voltage OVSS. In this embodiment, the second voltage OVSS is lower than the first voltage OVDD. For example, the first voltage OVDD can be an operating voltage and the second voltage OVSS can be a ground voltage, but not limited to this.

The third transistor T3 is coupled between the third voltage VREF and the third node N3, and the gate of the third transistor T3 receives the third control signal S3 and is controlled by the third control signal S3. The fourth transistor T4 is coupled between the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, and the gate of the fourth transistor T4 receives the second control signal S2 and is controlled by the second control signal S2. In this embodiment, the third voltage VREF coupled to the third transistor T3 can be a reference voltage, but not limited to this.

The fifth transistor T5 is coupled between the fourth node N4 and the fourth voltage VDAT, and the gate of the fifth transistor T5 receives the third control signal S3 and is controlled by the third control signal S3. One terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first node N1, and the gate of the sixth transistor T6 receives the third control signal S3 and is controlled by the third control signal S3. The capacitor C is coupled between the second node N2 and the fourth node N4. In this embodiment, the fourth voltage VDAT coupled to the fifth transistor T5 can be a data voltage, but not limited to this.

It should be noted that the third voltage VREF in this embodiment is the reference voltage and the fourth voltage VDAT is the data voltage, and the other terminal of the sixth transistor T6 can be selectively coupled to the first voltage OVDD or coupled to the sensing line LSEN of the LED display according to different compensation modes. Since the pixel circuit 3 can adopt an internal self-compensation mode or an external compensation mode as needed, the flexibility in practical applications can be increased.

Next, please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 illustrates a timing diagram of the first control signal S1, the second control signal S2, the third control signal S3 and the fourth voltage VDAT in FIG. 3. It should be noted that the first period t1, the second period t2 and the third period t3 in FIG. 4 are defined as a reset period, a compensation and data writing period, and a light-emitting period respectively.

During the first period (the reset period) t1, the first control signal S1 and the third control signal S3 are at high-level HL and the second control signal S2 is at low-level LL, so that the fourth transistor T4 is not conducted and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

During the second period (the compensation and data writing period) t2, the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 are at low-level LL and the third control signal S3 is at high-level HL, so that the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are not conducted and the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

During the third period (the light-emitting period) t3, the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 are at high-level HL and the third control signal S3 is at low-level LL, so that the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are not conducted and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are conducted.

Next, the conditions of the pixel circuit 3 operating in the internal self-compensation mode and the external compensation mode will be described.

In an embodiment, please refer to FIG. 5A˜FIG. 5C. FIG. 5A˜FIG. 5C illustrate schematic diagrams of the pixel circuit 3 operating in the internal self-compensation mode during the first period t1 to the third period t3 respectively. It should be noted that when the pixel circuit 3 operates in the internal self-compensation mode, another terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the first voltage OVDD.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5A, during the first period (the reset period) t1, the LED is not turned on (indicated by X in FIG. 5A), the first control signal S1 and the third control signal S3 is at high-level HL and the second control signal S2 is at low-level LL, so that the fourth transistor T4 is not conducted (indicated by X in FIG. 5A) and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

Therefore, during the first period (the reset period) t1, the first node N1 has the first voltage OVDD, the second node N2 has the second voltage OVSS, the third node N3 has the third voltage VREF and the fourth node N4 has a fourth voltage VDAT.

It should be noted that the reset current IRES flowing from the first node N1 through the first transistor T1 to the second node N2 during the first period (the reset period) t1 is related to the second voltage OVSS, the third voltage VREF and the threshold voltage (V_{TH_T1}) of the first transistor T1; for example, the reset current IRES is proportional to (VREF−OVSS−V_{TH_T1})², but not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5B, during the second period (the compensation and data writing period) t2, the LED is not turned on (indicated by X in FIG. 5B), the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 are at low-level LL and the third control signal S3 is at high-level HL, so that the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are not conducted (indicated by X in FIG. 5B) and the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

Therefore, during the second period (the compensation and data writing period) t2, the first node N1 has the first voltage OVDD, and the voltage of the second node N2 is equal to the third voltage VREF minus the threshold voltage V_{TH_T1} of the first transistor T1. The third node N3 has the third voltage VREF and the fourth node N4 has the fourth voltage VDAT.

It should be noted that during the second period (the compensation and data writing period) t2, the cross-voltage (Vc) across the capacitor C is equal to the fourth voltage VDAT minus the third voltage VREF and plus the threshold voltage V_{TH_T1} of the first transistor T1; that is, Vc=VDAT−VREF+V_{TH_T1}, but not limited to this. In addition, since the pixel circuit 3 can simultaneously perform the operations of compensation and data writing during the second period (the compensation and data writing period) t2, the compensation time can be greatly increased to effectively improve the shortcoming of the insufficient compensation time in the prior art.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5C, during the third period (the light-emitting period) t3, the LED is turned on, the first control signal S1 and the second control signal S2 are at high-level HL and the third control signal S3 is at low-level LL, so that the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are not conducted (indicated by X in FIG. 5C) and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are conducted.

It should be noted that during the third period (the light-emitting period) t3, the LED current ILED flowing through the LED is related to the fourth voltage VDAT and the third voltage VREF; for example, the LED current ILED is proportional to (VDAT−VREF)², but not limited to this. Therefore, the LED current ILED in this embodiment is independent of the equivalent capacitance of the LED, so that the defect that the pixel circuit in the prior art is easily affected by the equivalent capacitance of the light-emitting diode can be effectively improved.

In another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B. FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B illustrate schematic diagrams of the pixel circuit 3 operating in the external compensation mode during the first period t1 and the second period t2 respectively. It should be noted that when the pixel circuit 3 operates in the external compensation mode, another terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is coupled to the sensing line LSEN of the uLED display.

As shown in FIG. 6A, during the first period t1, the LED is not turned on (indicated by X in FIG. 6A), the first control signal S1 and the third control signal S3 are at high-level and the second control signal S2 is at low-level, so that the fourth transistor T4 is not conducted (indicated by X in FIG. 6A) and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

It should be noted that during the first period t1, the detection current I_DET provided from the sensing line LSEN of the uLED display sequentially flows through the sixth transistor T6, the first node N1, the first transistor T1, the second node N2, the second transistor T2 to the second voltage OVSS, and the detection current IDET is related to the second voltage OVSS, the third voltage VREF and the threshold voltage V_{TH_T1} of the first transistor T1; for example, the detection current IDET is proportional to (VREF−OVSS−V_{TH_T1})², but not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 6B, during the second period t2, the LED is turned on, the first control signal S and the second control signal S2 are at low-level, and the third control signal S3 is at high-level, so that the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the fourth transistor T4 are not conducted (indicated by X in FIG. 6B), and the third transistor T3, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are conducted.

It should be noted that, during the second period t2, the reference current IREF flows from the first voltage OVDD through the light-emitting diode LED, the first node N1, the sixth transistor T6 to the sensing line LSEN to form a sensing voltage V_SEN, and the sensing voltage V_SEN is related to the first voltage OVDD and the cross-voltage (VLED) across the light-emitting diode LED; for example, the sensing voltage V_SEN=OVDD−VLED, but not limited to this.

Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of the pixel circuit 7 according to another preferred embodiment of the invention.

It should be noted that the structure and operation of the pixel circuit 7 in FIG. 7 are basically the same as the structure and operation of the pixel circuit 3 in FIG. 3, and the difference between them is only that the third transistor T3 of the pixel circuit 3 is coupled to the reference voltage and the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the data voltage, but the third transistor T3 of the pixel circuit 7 of FIG. 7 is coupled to the data voltage and the fifth transistor T5 is coupled to the reference voltage; that is, the data voltage and the reference voltage in the pixel circuit 7 and the pixel circuit 3 are mutually adjusted.

Since the light-emitting diode current ILED flowing through the light-emitting diode LED is related to the third voltage coupled to the third transistor T3 and the fourth voltage coupled to the fifth transistor T5, the light-emitting diode current ILED of the pixel circuit 7 is proportional to (VREF-DAT)²; that is, the light-emitting diode current ILED is independent of the equivalent capacitance of the light-emitting diode LED, so that the defect that the pixel circuit in the prior art is easily affected by the equivalent capacitance of the light-emitting diode can be effectively improved.

Another embodiment of the invention is a pixel circuit operating method. In this embodiment, the pixel circuit operating method is used for operating a pixel circuit applied to a micro light-emitting diode (uLED) display, but not limited to this.

The pixel circuit includes a light-emitting diode (LED), a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, a fifth transistor, a sixth transistor and a capacitor. The LED, the first transistor and the second transistor are coupled in series between a first voltage and a second voltage lower than the first voltage. The third transistor, the fourth transistor and the fifth transistor are coupled in series between a third voltage and a fourth voltage. The sixth transistor is coupled to a first node between the LED and the first transistor and the capacitor is coupled to a second node between the first transistor and the second transistor.
