如图3所示,本发明如图2所示的像素驱动电路的具体实施例在工作时,
在充电阶段T1,Scan1和Scan2都输出高电平,Data输出的数据电压为0,T1、T2和T4都打开,DTFT和T3关闭,此时,如图4A所示,T1、C1、T4和T2构成充电电路,电流路径如图4A中带有箭头的线所示,将a点电位Va充电至Vdd(a点即与C1的第一端连接的第一节点),b点电位为Vb为0(b点即为与C1的第二端连接的第二节点);
在电路调整阶段T2,Scan1输出低电压Vscan1(V1<Vscan1<V2,V1为T1的反向击穿电压,V2为T1的阈值电压Vth与T1关闭电压的差值),以使得T1关闭,Scan2输出高电压Vscan2(高电压Vscan在对应于最低亮度的数据电压及对应于最高亮度的数据电压Vdh之间),以使得T2打开,Data输出Vdata,Vdata为高电平,此时T1和T4都关闭,T2、DTFT和T3都打开,这样C1会放电,放电路径如图4B所示,通过C1、DTFT和T3放电,当第一节点a的电压Va降到Vdata+Vth时,C1放电截止,Va-Vb=Vdata+Vth;
在电路发光阶段T3,Scan1输出高电平,以使得T1打开,Scan2输出低电平,以使得T2关闭,Data输出的数据电压为0,此时如图4C所示,T1、T4和DTFT都打开,T2和T3都关闭,c点的电位Vc和b点的电位Vb相同(c为与DTFT的栅极连接的第三节点),a点的电位与c点的电位之间的差值保持为Vdata+Vth,也即此时DTFT的栅源电压Vgs保持为Vdata+Vth,流过DTFT的驱动电流I=K×(Vgs-Vth)2=K×Vdata2,OLED将保持恒定电流发光,不受DTFT的阈值电压Vth影响,其中,K为DTFT的电流系数。
