The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure but not all the embodiments. Based upon the embodiments in the present disclosure, all of other embodiments obtained by those ordinary skilled in the art without creative work pertain to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The transistors employed in all embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors or other devices with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, for distinguishing the two electrodes other than the gate electrode, of the transistor, one electrode is called a first electrode, and the other electrode is called a second electrode.
In the actual operation, when the transistor is a thin film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first electrode may be a source electrode or a drain electrode, and the second electrode may be the drain electrode or the source electrode.
A pixel structure described in embodiments of the present disclosure includes:
a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in rows and columns, the plurality of pixel circuits including a first type of pixel circuit and a second type of pixel circuit;
a data line electrically connected to the pixel circuits, which is used for providing a data voltage to the pixel circuits; the pixel circuits in two adjacent rows electrically connected to at least one of the data lines are the first type of pixel circuit and the second type of pixel circuit respectively; and
a plurality of light-emitting elements, including a first light-emitting element electrically connected to the first type of pixel circuit and a second light-emitting element electrically connected to the second type of pixel circuit;
a display brightness of the first light-emitting element increases as the data voltage provided to the first type of pixel circuit increases; a display brightness of the second light-emitting element decreases as data voltage provided to the second type of pixel circuit increases.
In the related art, with the gradual increase in resolution requirements of an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel in the market, the requirements for the refresh rate of AMOLED are also increasing. Therefore, the row time (that is, the time to scan each row of pixel circuits) is reduced, and the data writing time and threshold voltage compensation time of the pixel circuit are reduced at the same time. In order to fulfill the requirements, AMOELD pixel circuits with separation of data voltage writing and threshold voltage compensation are proposed in the related art. In general, AMOELD pixel circuits with separation of data voltage writing and threshold voltage compensation have a large capacitance area and are susceptible to voltage jumps of the surrounding signals. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the pixel circuit, the time of the threshold voltage compensation stage is larger than the time of one row, and in the threshold voltage compensation stage, the gate state of the driving transistor in the driving circuit is close to a floating state. The gate voltage of driving transistor is adversely affected by a plurality of rows of data voltages, which is prone to block crosstalk problems.
Based on this, in the pixel structure described in embodiments of the present disclosure, the adjacent rows of pixel circuits electrically connected to at least part of the data lines are first type of pixel circuits and second type of pixel circuits respectively, so that the data voltage on the data line is of high voltage and low voltage arranged in an constant alternating manner in the case of scanning a plurality of rows of gate lines in turn when the pixel structure displays a solid-colored image. Through such data voltage variation, each signal arrived in the display area is rapidly varied under the influence of the data voltage. The variation direction of each signal in the display area by the influence of the data voltage is no longer accumulated, and the amplitude of the variation is reduced, so as to reduce the incidence and the severity of a block crosstalk.
In the specific implementation, for the pixel circuit with the separation of threshold voltage compensation and data voltage writing, through controlling the change trend of the data voltage from L0 to L255, the pixel brightness increases with the increase of the data voltage according to different structural design of the pixel circuit, and the pixel brightness decreases with the increase of the data voltage. Here, L0 is grayscale 0, and L255 is grayscale 255.
In actual operation, when the first type of pixel circuit is in operation, the display brightness of the first light-emitting element electrically connected to the first type of pixel circuit increases with the increase of the data voltage received by the first type of pixel circuit;
when the second type of pixel circuit is in operation, the display brightness of the second light-emitting element electrically connected to the second type of pixel circuit decreases with the increase of the data voltage received by the second type of pixel circuit.
In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure of the first type of pixel circuit is different from the second type of pixel circuit. In the first type of pixel circuit, a reference voltage writing operation is carried out before the data voltage is written, and in the second type of pixel circuit, the reference voltage writing operation is carried out after the data voltage is written.
In the specific implementation, the first type of pixel circuit is a pixel circuit corresponding to the normally-black display mode, and the second type of pixel circuit is a pixel circuit corresponding to the normally-white display mode.
In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel structure includes a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit includes a plurality of pixel circuits, and the light beams emitted by the plurality of pixel circuits included in the pixel unit are capable of being mixed into white light.
Optionally, the colors of the light-emitting elements electrically connected to the plurality of pixel circuits included in the pixel unit may be different from each other, or the colors of light-emitting elements electrically connected to at least two pixel circuits among the plurality of pixel units included in the pixel structure may be different from each other.
For example, the pixel unit includes a pixel circuit electrically connected to the first pixel circuit, the second pixel circuit and the third pixel circuit; or the pixel unit includes a first pixel circuit, two second pixel circuits and a third pixel circuit; or the pixel unit includes a first pixel circuit, a second pixel circuit, a third pixel circuit and a fourth pixel circuit. The present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In actual operation, alternatively, the pixel unit may be of another structure.
Optionally, the first pixel circuit may be the pixel circuit electrically connected to a first color light-emitting element, the second pixel circuit may be the pixel circuit electrically connected to a second color light-emitting element, the third pixel circuit may be the pixel circuit electrically connected to a third color light-emitting element, and the fourth pixel circuit may be the pixel circuit electrically connected to a fourth color light-emitting element. For example, the first color light-emitting element may be a red light-emitting element, the second color light-emitting element may be a green light-emitting element, the third color light-emitting element may be a blue light-emitting element, and the fourth color light-emitting element may be a white light-emitting element.
