Description
本揭露是有關於發光二極體的畫素驅動電路。This disclosure relates to a pixel driving circuit for light-emitting diodes.
目前發光二極體已經廣泛地應用於各類型的顯示器當中。發光二極體發光時的亮度與其驅動電流的大小有關,而其驅動電流的大小係由驅動電晶體來控制。然而,因為製程的變異會造成顯示器中的每個畫素的驅動電晶體的臨界電壓(threshold voltage,Vth)不盡相同,如此一來將會使得不同畫素之中的發光二極體具有不同的驅動電流而使每個發光二極體的亮度不一,進而造成顯示器在顯示畫面的時候會有亮度不均勻的問題。此外,驅動電流示由操作電壓所提供,而操作電壓容易因為傳遞路徑中的線阻產生壓降,使得每個畫素的操作電壓不同,使驅動電流產生誤差。At present, light-emitting diodes have been widely used in various types of displays. The brightness of the light-emitting diode when it emits light is related to the size of its driving current, and the size of its driving current is controlled by the driving transistor. However, because of the variation of the manufacturing process, the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistor of each pixel in the display will be different, which will cause the light-emitting diodes in different pixels to have different values. The driving current makes the brightness of each light-emitting diode different, which in turn causes the problem of uneven brightness when the display displays a picture. In addition, the driving current is provided by the operating voltage, and the operating voltage is prone to a voltage drop due to the line resistance in the transmission path, which makes the operating voltage of each pixel different, which causes errors in the drive current.
因此,如何針對顯示器畫素之驅動電晶體的臨界電壓做補償,並也對操作電壓做補償,是本領域的技術人員所致力研究的目標。Therefore, how to compensate for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor of the display pixel and also compensate for the operating voltage is the goal of the research by those skilled in the art.

圖5是根據一實施例繪示在第三期間內第一子期間的畫素驅動電路的開關示意圖。請參照圖2與圖5,第三期間230分為第一子期間230-1及第二子期間230-2,在第一子期間230-1內發光單元110為截止,而在第二子期間230-2內發光單元110為導通並發光。第一子期間230-1及第二子期間230-2的長度是由資料電壓V
DATA所決定。換言之,在此實施例中是以脈寬調變(pulse width modulation,PWM)的方式來驅動發光單元110,藉此決定像素的亮度。具體來說,在第三期間230內控制訊號S1、控制訊號S2及控制訊號EM為低準位V

In the first sub-period 230-1, the switches T1 to T7, T10, T11, and T12 are in the off state, and the switch T9 is in the on state. At this time, the potentials of the node A, the node C, and the node D are the same as the operating voltage VSS. The potential of node C changes from V LED in the

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the switching of the pixel driving circuit in the second sub-period in the third period according to an embodiment. 2 and 6, in the second sub-period 230-2, the switches T2, T3, T6, T7, T10~T12 are in the off state, and the switches T1, T4, T5, and T9 are in the on state. The potential of node C is the same as the operating voltage VSS, and the potential of node E is the same as V DATA -|V TH_T8 |+ V sweep . In addition, since the switch T5 is turned on, the potential of the node D is the same as the voltage V H. In this embodiment, the operating voltage VDD is greater than or equal to the voltage V H , but the voltage V H is large enough to turn on the switch T4. The voltage V H will be applied to the control terminal T4-3 of the switch T4 to make the switch T4 in the on state, and the potentials of the node A and the node B are the same as V ref +V TH_T13 +VSS-V LED , thereby turning on the switch T1 to generate current I LED , the current I LED flows through the light-emitting
透過操作電壓VSS與臨界電壓的補償,電流I LED已經無關於操作電壓VSS與任何開關的臨界電壓。在習知技術中驅動電流經過了兩個以上的開關,當電流較大時會產生壓降使得開關可能進入線性區,增加操作電壓VDD、VSS之間的跨壓可以解決此問題,但卻提高了功率消耗。相較之下,電流I LED只會流經一個開關T1,因此具有減少功率消耗的功效。 Through the compensation of the operating voltage VSS and the threshold voltage, the current I LED has nothing to do with the operating voltage VSS and the threshold voltage of any switch. In the conventional technology, the driving current has passed through more than two switches. When the current is large, a voltage drop may occur, which may cause the switch to enter the linear region. Increasing the cross voltage between the operating voltage VDD and VSS can solve this problem, but it increases Power consumption. In contrast, the current I LED only flows through one switch T1, so it has the effect of reducing power consumption.
