Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202311344424.5, filed on Oct. 17, 2023, and entitled “PIXEL DRIVING CIRCUIT AND DISPLAY PANEL”. The entire disclosures of the above application are incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular to a pixel driving circuit and a display panel.


BACKGROUND

Existing external compensation of a shift of a threshold voltage requires a long time. Usually, a Vth shift detection is realized through an EE module during a startup stage. A signal is written into a data signal through an IC to realize the compensation. However, it is only compensated once after powering on, and real-time compensation cannot be achieved. In order to solve the above problems, an internal compensation circuit based on the threshold voltage shift is developed. The real-time compensation can be realized through a drive circuit design. However, a compensation range will be limited by a circuit architecture, and the compensation range will be smaller. Moreover, due to current batch-to-batch differences in the threshold voltage shift of the pixel driving circuit, it is difficult to fully compensate for the threshold voltage shift of all batches through a single timing internal compensation circuit.


Accordingly, the existing pixel driving circuit has a technical problem that cannot take into account real-time compensation and a large compensation range.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms, such as “upper” and “lower”, usually refer to upper and lower positions of a device in actual use or working conditions, and specifically refer to drawing directions in the drawings, while “inner” and “outer” refer to the outline of the device.


Referring to FIG. 1, a pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure includes a light-emitting module 1, an external detection module 3, and an internal compensation module 4. The light-emitting module 1 is electrically connected to the external detection module 3 and the internal compensation module 4. The light-emitting module 1 includes a second transistor and a light-emitting unit. A first electrode of the second transistor is electrically connected to a high-electric potential power supply signal. A second electrode of the second transistor is electrically connected to the light-emitting unit. The external detection module is configured to acquire a threshold voltage of the second transistor when the display panel is turned on, and determine a shift direction of the threshold voltage. The internal compensation module is configured to use a first timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage when the shift direction of the threshold voltage is a positive shift. The internal compensation module is configured to use a second timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage when the shift direction of the threshold voltage is a negative shift.


It is understandable that by detecting the shift direction of the threshold voltage at startup through the external detection module 3, the shift direction of the threshold voltage during a period from startup to shutdown can be determined. That is, depending on whether the shift direction of the threshold voltage at startup is the positive shift or the negative shift, one of the first timing sequence and the second timing sequence is selected to compensate the threshold voltage, thereby achieving internal real-time compensation, which is more accurate and has a larger compensation range.


In this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit including the external detection module and the internal compensation module is provided. The external detection module detects the shift direction of the threshold voltage at startup. When the shift direction of the threshold voltage is the positive shift, the internal compensation module is configured to use the first timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage. When the shift direction of the threshold voltage is the negative shift, the internal compensation module is configured to use the second timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage. Through internal compensation at different timings, internal real-time compensation that is more accurate and has a larger compensation range is achieved, which solves the technical problem of the existing pixel driving circuit being unable to take into account both real-time compensation and a larger compensation range.


The technical solutions of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to specific embodiments.


It should be noted that first electrodes and second electrodes of a first transistor to a ninth transistor in the present disclosure are only for illustration. The present disclosure is explained by taking the following explanation as an example. A side of a certain transistor with a gate is a “downward direction”, an electrode of the transistor located in a “left direction” of the gate is the first electrode, and an electrode of the transistor located in a “right direction” of the gate is the second electrode.


It should be noted that in FIG. 1 of the present disclosure, Scan1 is a first scan signal, Scan2 is a second scan signal, Scan3 is a third scan signal, Scan4 is a fourth scan signal, and Scan5 is a fifth scan signal, Data1 is a first data signal, Data2 is a second data signal, EM1 is a first light-emitting signal, EM2 is a second light-emitting signal, VSS is a low-electric potential power supply signal, VDD is a high-electric potential power supply signal, Vi is a reset signal, and ADC is a digital-to-analog conversion signal. Regarding connection relationships or positions of signal input terminals that are not described in the following content, a simple inference can be made with reference to FIG. 1.


Alternatively, in a specific embodiment, when the first electrode is a source, the second electrode is a drain. Alternatively, when the first electrode is a drain, the second electrode is a source.


In some embodiments, when the threshold voltage is greater than or equal to 0, the pixel driving circuit uses the first timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage. A compensation range of the threshold voltage is a first range. When the threshold voltage is less than 0, the pixel driving circuit uses the second timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage. A compensation range of the threshold voltage is a second range. The first range is different from the second range.


It can be understood that when the shift direction of the threshold voltage is the positive shift, it means that the threshold voltage is greater than or equal to 0. The shift direction of the threshold voltage is the negative shift, which means that the threshold voltage is less than 0.


In some embodiments, the first range ranges from 0 to 4V, and the second range ranges from −3V to 2V.


It can be understood that, refer to FIG. 1, an addition of the first range and the second range is the compensation range of the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure. The compensation range of the pixel driving circuit to the shift of the threshold voltage ranges from −3V to 4V. Compared with a single internal compensation circuit in the prior art, the compensation range of the pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure is the addition of two timing compensation ranges. Therefore, a larger compensation range is achieved.

At this time, the high potential VdataH of the second data signal is written to the G-point, the second transistor is turned on, and the S-point starts to be charged. When Vs=VdataH−Vth, the second transistor is turned off, where the threshold voltage of the second transistor is Vth, and the potential of the S-point is charged to Vs=VdataH−Vth.


In the detection stage 30, the first scan signal is at the high potential, the fourth transistor is turned on, the first switch is turned off, the first data signal is not input, and the second switch is turned on, so that the chip reads the potential of the S-point and acquires the threshold voltage Vth of the second transistor.


In some embodiments, refer to FIG. 3, when the Vth>0, the internal compensation module 4 uses the first timing sequence to compensate the threshold voltage, and working stages of the first timing sequence includes a first reset stage 40, a writing and compensation stage 50, and a first light-emitting stage 60.

It can be understood that in the first reset stage 40, VDD is written to the gate of the second transistor. In writing and compensation stage 50, after VdataH is written to the A-point, Vth is detected. Therefore, a maximum value of Vth that can be detected before and after drift is VDD−VdataH. Vth needs to be ensured to be greater than 0 so that Vth can be correctly stored into the gate. That is, the compensation range of the threshold voltage of the first timing sequence is: 0<Vth<VDD−VdataH−Vth.

At this time, the potential of the S-point is Vs=(Vpre−Vth)+(Vdata2−Vpre)*C3/(C1+C3), a potential difference between the G-point and the S-point is Vgs=(Vdata2−Vpre)*C1/(C1+C3)+Vth, where C1 is a capacitance value of the first capacitor and C3 is a capacitance value of the third capacitor.
