Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a display field, and more particularly to a pixel driving circuit of an active matrix organic light emitting display device and a driving method of an active matrix organic light emitting display device.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) possesses many outstanding properties of self-illumination, low driving voltage, high luminescence efficiency, short response time, high clarity and contrast, near 180° view angle, wide range of working temperature, applicability of flexible display and large scale full color display. The OLED is considered as the most potential display device.


The OLED can be categorized into two major types according to the driving methods, which are the Passive Matrix OLED (PMOLED) and the Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED), i.e. two types of the direct addressing and the Thin Film Transistor (TFT) matrix addressing. The AMOLED comprises pixels arranged in array and belongs to active display type, which has high lighting efficiency and is generally utilized for the large scale display devices of high resolution.


The AMOLED is a current driving element. When the electrical current flows through the organic light emitting diode, the organic light emitting diode emits light, and the brightness is determined according to the current flowing through the organic light emitting diode itself. Most of the present Integrated Circuits (IC) only transmit voltage signals. Therefore, the AMOLED pixel driving circuit needs to accomplish the task of converting the voltage signals into the current signals. The traditional AMOLED pixel driving circuit generally is 2T1C, which is a structure comprising two thin film transistors and one capacitor to convert the voltage into the current.


As shown in FIG. 1, which is a 2T1C pixel driving circuit employed for AMOLED, comprising a first thin film transistor T10, a second thin film transistor T20, a capacitor C10 and an organic light emitting diode D10. The first thin film transistor T10 is a switch thin film transistor, and the second thin film transistor T20 is a drive thin film transistor, and the capacitor C10 is a storage capacitor. Specifically, a gate of the first thin film transistor T10 receives a scan signal Gate. A source of the first thin film transistor receives a data signal Data. A drain of the first thin film transistor is electrically coupled to a gate of the second thin film transistor T20 and one end of the capacitor C10. A source of the second thin film transistor T20 receives a power source positive voltage OVDD. A drain of the second thin film transistor is electrically coupled to an anode of the organic light emitting diode D10. A cathode of the organic light emitting diode D10 receives a power source negative voltage OVSS. The one end of the capacitor C10 is electrically coupled to the drain of the first thin film transistor T10, and the other end is electrically coupled to the source of the second thin film transistor T20. As displaying, the scan signal Gate controls the first thin film transistor T10 to be activated, and the data signal Data enters the gate of the second thin film transistor T20 and the capacitor C10 via the first thin film transistor T10. Then, the first thin film transistor T10 is deactivated. With the storage function of the capacitor C10, the gate voltage of the second thin film transistor T20 can remain to hold the data signal voltage to make the second thin film transistor T20 to be in the conducted state to drive the current to enter the organic light emitting diode D10 via the second thin film transistor T20 and to drive the organic light emitting diode D10 to emit light.


During operation of the pixel driving circuit shown in FIG. 1, the organic light emitting diode D10 is in a direct current bias state for a long time, and the internal ion polarity thereof forms a built-in electric field, which causes the threshold voltage of the organic light emitting diode D10 to continuously increase and makes the brightness gradually decrease. Meanwhile, the long time emission also shortens the life of the organic light emitting diode D10, and the problem of uniform image display caused by the different aging degrees of the organic light emitting diodes in different sub pixels may also occur to affect the display result.
