Description

畫素驅動裝置Pixel driver

本揭露涉及一種電子裝置,且特別是涉及一種畫素驅動裝置。The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to a pixel driving device.

在現有的顯示器中,發光元件(例如,發光二極體)發光時的亮度與其驅動電流的大小有關,而驅動電流的大小係由電晶體來決定。然而,由於電晶體製程的變異,造成顯示器中用於驅動各畫素的電晶體的臨界電壓(Threshold Voltage,V TH)不盡相同,如此一來不同畫素中發光元件具有相異的驅動電流而導致亮度不均勻,影響視覺品質。此外,驅動電流是由電源電壓所提供,而電源電壓會因為電流路徑中的線阻發生電壓降(I-R Drop)的問題,使得各畫素的電源電壓有所差異,致使驅動電流產生誤差。 In existing displays, the brightness of a light-emitting element (e.g., a light-emitting diode) is related to the size of its driving current, and the size of the driving current is determined by the transistor. However, due to variations in the transistor manufacturing process, the threshold voltage ( VTH ) of the transistor used to drive each pixel in the display is not the same. As a result, the light-emitting elements in different pixels have different driving currents, resulting in uneven brightness and affecting visual quality. In addition, the driving current is provided by the power supply voltage, and the power supply voltage will have a voltage drop (IR Drop) problem due to the line resistance in the current path, causing the power supply voltage of each pixel to be different, resulting in errors in the driving current.

另一方面,習知的畫素驅動電路為了確保電晶體可操作於飽和區,在驅動電流的路徑上會配置多個電晶體,所需的電源電壓的跨壓(V DD-V SS)增高,導致功率消耗上升。同時,習知的畫素驅動電路容易因較長的電流上升/下降時間,導致在低灰階時發生電流波形失真而無法維持在高發光效率。 On the other hand, in order to ensure that the transistor can operate in the saturation region, the conventional pixel driving circuit will configure multiple transistors in the path of the driving current, and the required power supply voltage cross-voltage (V DD -V SS ) will increase, resulting in increased power consumption. At the same time, the conventional pixel driving circuit is prone to current waveform distortion at low gray levels due to the longer current rise/fall time, and cannot maintain high luminous efficiency.

因此,本揭露提供一種畫素驅動裝置,包含第一驅動電晶體、第二驅動電晶體、驅動電路、控制電晶體以及控制電路。第一驅動電晶體耦接畫素發光元件。第二驅動電晶體耦接第一驅動電晶體。驅動電路耦接第一驅動電晶體與第二驅動電晶體,並用以接收複數控制訊號,藉以控制第一驅動電晶體與第二驅動電晶體。控制電晶體耦接第二驅動電晶體之控制端。控制電路耦接控制電晶體與第二驅動電晶體之控制端,並用以接收掃描訊號及此些控制訊號,藉以控制控制電晶體與第二驅動電晶體。其中驅動電路與控制電路於重置階段根據此些控制訊號分別重置第一驅動電晶體與控制電晶體。其中驅動電路與控制電路於補償階段根據此些控制訊號分別對第一驅動電晶體與控制電晶體進行補償。其中驅動電路於發光階段根據此些控制訊號導通第一驅動電晶體與第二驅動電晶體,使得畫素發光元件導通。其中控制電路於發光階段根據掃描訊號及此些控制訊號對控制電晶體進行正回授並導通控制電晶體,藉以關閉第二驅動電晶體,使得畫素發光元件關閉。Therefore, the present disclosure provides a pixel driving device, including a first driving transistor, a second driving transistor, a driving circuit, a control transistor and a control circuit. The first driving transistor is coupled to the pixel light-emitting element. The second driving transistor is coupled to the first driving transistor. The driving circuit is coupled to the first driving transistor and the second driving transistor, and is used to receive a plurality of control signals to control the first driving transistor and the second driving transistor. The control transistor is coupled to the control end of the second driving transistor. The control circuit is coupled to the control end of the control transistor and the second driving transistor, and is used to receive a scanning signal and these control signals to control the control transistor and the second driving transistor. The driving circuit and the control circuit reset the first driving transistor and the control transistor respectively according to the control signals in the reset phase. The driving circuit and the control circuit compensate the first driving transistor and the control transistor respectively according to the control signals in the compensation phase. The driving circuit turns on the first driving transistor and the second driving transistor according to the control signals in the light-emitting phase, so that the pixel light-emitting element is turned on. The control circuit performs positive feedback on the control transistor and turns on the control transistor according to the scanning signal and the control signals in the light-emitting phase, so as to turn off the second driving transistor, so that the pixel light-emitting element is turned off.

驅動電路110與控制電路120於重置階段RP根據控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]及控制訊號S2[n]分別重置第一驅動電晶體DT1與控制電晶體CT。驅動電路110與控制電路120於補償階段CP根據控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、控制訊號S1[n+2]及控制訊號S2[n]分別對第一驅動電晶體DT1與控制電晶體CT進行補償。驅動電路110於穩定階段SP根據控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]及控制訊號S2[n]關閉第一驅動電晶體DT1與控制電晶體CT。驅動電路110於發光階段EP根據多個控制訊號(如圖1中的控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]及控制訊號S2[n])導通第一驅動電晶體DT1與第二驅動電晶體DT2,使得畫素發光元件L導通。控制電路120於發光階段EP根據掃描訊號V SWEEP及多個控制訊號(如圖1中的控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]及控制訊號S1[n+2])對控制電晶體CT進行正回授並導通控制電晶體CT,藉以關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2,使得畫素發光元件L關閉。 The driving circuit 110 and the control circuit 120 reset the first driving transistor DT1 and the control transistor CT respectively according to the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1] and the control signal S2[n] in the reset phase RP. The driving circuit 110 and the control circuit 120 compensate the first driving transistor DT1 and the control transistor CT respectively according to the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the control signal S1[n+2] and the control signal S2[n] in the compensation phase CP. The driving circuit 110 turns off the first driving transistor DT1 and the control transistor CT according to the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1] and the control signal S2[n] in the stable phase SP. The driving circuit 110 turns on the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 according to a plurality of control signals (such as the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1] and the control signal S2[n] in FIG. 1 ) in the light emitting phase EP, so that the pixel light emitting element L is turned on. In the light-emitting phase EP, the control circuit 120 performs positive feedback on the control transistor CT according to the scanning signal V SWEEP and multiple control signals (such as the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n] and the control signal S1[n+2] in FIG. 1 ) and turns on the control transistor CT, thereby turning off the second driving transistor DT2, so that the pixel light-emitting element L is turned off.

畫素驅動裝置100優勢在於藉由自身電路架構補償第一驅動電晶體DT1及第一電源電壓V DD,以消除第一驅動電晶體DT1之臨界電壓(V TH_DT1)及第一電源電壓V DD的變異,進而提升亮度均勻性。畫素驅動裝置100亦可藉由自身電路架構補償控制電晶體CT,以消除控制電晶體CT之臨界電壓(V TH_CT)的變異,達到減少發光時間誤差。此外,由於畫素驅動裝置100在驅動電流I D的電流路徑上僅配置第一驅動電晶體DT1與第二驅動電晶體DT2,因此可降低第一電源電壓V DD與第二電源電壓V SS之間的跨壓,達到節省功耗的效果。特別的是,畫素驅動裝置100利用控制電路120之正回授電路架構導通控制電晶體CT,藉以快速關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2,進而可降低驅動電流I D的電流波形的下降時間(Falling Time),以提升灰階控制的精準度。 The pixel driver device 100 has the advantage of compensating the first drive transistor DT1 and the first power supply voltage V DD through its own circuit structure to eliminate the variation of the critical voltage (V TH — DT1 ) of the first drive transistor DT1 and the first power supply voltage V DD , thereby improving the brightness uniformity. The pixel driver device 100 can also compensate the control transistor CT through its own circuit structure to eliminate the variation of the critical voltage (V TH — CT ) of the control transistor CT, thereby reducing the error of the luminous time. In addition, since the pixel driving device 100 only configures the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 on the current path of the driving current ID , the cross-voltage between the first power voltage V DD and the second power voltage V SS can be reduced, thereby achieving the effect of saving power consumption. In particular, the pixel driving device 100 uses the positive feedback circuit structure of the control circuit 120 to turn on the control transistor CT to quickly turn off the second driving transistor DT2, thereby reducing the falling time (Falling Time) of the current waveform of the driving current ID to improve the accuracy of grayscale control.

The voltage written in can be the first reference voltage V REF1 minus the critical voltage of the first driving transistor DT1, as shown in the following formula: ,in is the voltage of the second node N2, is the first reference voltage, is the critical voltage of the first drive transistor DT1. As can be seen from the above formula, the critical voltage of the first drive transistor DT1 can be stored in the second node N2 to compensate the second node N2 (i.e., compensate the first drive transistor DT1). Similarly, the control circuit 120 turns on the seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 according to the pulled-down control signal S1[n], so that the control transistor CT forms a diode-connected transistor, and writes a voltage to the fourth node N4. The aforementioned written voltage can be the data voltage V DATA minus the critical voltage of the control transistor CT, and is shown in the following formula: ,in is the voltage of the fourth node N4, is the data voltage, is the critical voltage of the control transistor CT. The critical voltage of the control transistor CT can be stored in the fourth node N4 to compensate the fourth node N4 (ie, to compensate the control transistor CT). At this time, the first node N1 still maintains a high voltage regulated at the second reference voltage V REF2 .

詳細地說,於穩定階段SP的第一子階段SP1中,驅動電路110根據被拉低的控制訊號S1[n+1]導通第六電晶體T6,故第三節點N3會放電至第三參考電壓V REF3,使得第二驅動電晶體DT2與第十一電晶體T11被導通。此時,第六節點N6會被放電至第五參考電壓V REF5Specifically, in the first sub-stage SP1 of the stable stage SP, the driving circuit 110 turns on the sixth transistor T6 according to the pulled-down control signal S1[n+1], so the third node N3 is discharged to the third reference voltage V REF3 , so that the second driving transistor DT2 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned on.

詳細地說,於穩定階段SP的第二子階段SP2中,控制電路120根據被拉低的控制訊號S1[n+2]導通第十電晶體T10,故第五節點N5會充電至第四參考電壓V REF4。控制電路120根據被拉低的控制訊號S1[n+2]導通第十三電晶體T13,且第十四電晶體T14同時導通,故第六節點N6會充電至介於第五參考電壓V REF5與第六參考電壓V REF6之間的一電壓值,其中前述電壓值可表示為(V REF5+V REF6)/2。 Specifically, in the second sub-stage SP2 of the stable stage SP, the control circuit 120 turns on the tenth transistor T10 according to the control signal S1[n+2] that is pulled low, so the fifth node N5 is charged to the fourth reference voltage V REF4 . The control circuit 120 turns on the thirteenth transistor T13 according to the control signal S1[n+2] that is pulled low, and the fourteenth transistor T14 is turned on at the same time, so the sixth node N6 is charged to a voltage value between the fifth reference voltage V REF5 and the sixth reference voltage V REF6 , wherein the aforementioned voltage value can be expressed as (V REF5 +V REF6 )/2.

請接續一併參照圖2及圖3E,圖3E為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100於發光階段EP的第一子階段EP1的等效電路圖。於發光階段EP的第一子階段EP1中,掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓準位逐漸下降,發光控制訊號EM可以被設定為低電壓準位V GL,而控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、控制訊號S1[n+2]及控制訊號S2[n]可以被設定為高電壓準位V GHPlease continue to refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3E , FIG. 3E is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel driving device 100 in the first sub-stage EP1 of the light emitting stage EP according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 . In the first sub-stage EP1 of the light emitting stage EP, the voltage level of the scanning signal V SWEEP gradually decreases, the light emitting control signal EM can be set to a low voltage level V GL , and the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the control signal S1[n+2] and the control signal S2[n] can be set to a high voltage level V GH .

詳細地說,於發光階段EP的第一子階段EP1中,驅動電路110根據被拉低的發光控制訊號EM導通第二電晶體T2,故第一節點N1會被放電到第一電源電壓V DD減去畫素發光元件L的導通電壓後的一電壓,且其可表示為V DD-V LED。前述導通電壓為畫素發光元件L導通時第一端與第二端之間的電壓差,可為但不限於0.7伏特(V)。此時,第一節點N1的電壓(V DD-V LED)會經由第一電容C1耦合到第二節點N2,且第二節點N2的電壓可表示為V REF1-V TH_DT1-|V DD-V LED-V REF2|。因此,第一驅動電晶體DT1的控制端的電壓會下降,使得第一驅動電晶體DT1導通。基於PMOS飽和區電流公式 ,第一驅動電晶體DT1的導通電流可如下列式子(1)所示: (1)。 Specifically, in the first sub-stage EP1 of the light-emitting stage EP, the driving circuit 110 turns on the second transistor T2 according to the light-emitting control signal EM that is pulled low, so the first node N1 is discharged to a voltage obtained by subtracting the turn-on voltage of the pixel light-emitting element L from the first power voltage V DD , and it can be expressed as V DD -V LED . The turn-on voltage is the voltage difference between the first end and the second end when the pixel light-emitting element L is turned on, and can be but not limited to 0.7 volts (V). At this time, the voltage of the first node N1 (V DD -V LED ) is coupled to the second node N2 via the first capacitor C1, and the voltage of the second node N2 can be expressed as V REF1 -V TH_DT1 -|V DD -V LED -V REF2 |. Therefore, the voltage at the control terminal of the first drive transistor DT1 will drop, making the first drive transistor DT1 conductive. Based on the PMOS saturation region current formula , the conduction current of the first drive transistor DT1 can be expressed as the following formula (1): (1).

其中 為第一驅動電晶體DT1的導通電流, 為第一驅動電晶體DT1的製程參數, 為第一電源電壓, 為畫素發光元件L的導通電壓, 為第一參考電壓, 為第二參考電壓,且 為第一驅動電晶體DT1的臨界電壓。由於畫素發光元件L的驅動電流I D等同於第一驅動電晶體DT1的導通電流,且再由上述式子(1)可知,畫素發光元件L的驅動電流I D會和第一驅動電晶體DT1的臨界電壓(V TH_DT1)、畫素發光元件L導通時第一端與第二端之間的電壓差(V LED)及第一電源電壓V DD無關。藉此,畫素驅動裝置100可利用自身電路配置補償第一驅動電晶體DT1的臨界電壓變異以及第一電源電壓V DD因電流路徑中線阻所導致的電壓降(I-R Drop),進而可提升畫素發光元件L的驅動電流I D之均一性。此時,掃描訊號V SWEEP會慢慢地下降,且其電壓變化量會經由第三電容C3耦合到第四節點N4,但控制電晶體CT於發光階段EP的第一子階段EP1中尚未導通。另一方面,控制電路120根據被拉低的發光控制訊號EM導通第十二電晶體T12,且第十四電晶體T14同時導通,故第六節點N6仍會持續充電,且其電壓值介於第五參考電壓V REF5與第六參考電壓V REF6之間,並可表示為(V REF5+V REF6)/2。 in is the conduction current of the first drive transistor DT1, is the process parameter of the first driving transistor DT1, is the first power supply voltage, is the conduction voltage of the pixel light-emitting element L, is the first reference voltage, is the second reference voltage, and is the critical voltage of the first driving transistor DT1. Since the driving current ID of the pixel light emitting element L is equal to the conduction current of the first driving transistor DT1, and it can be known from the above formula (1) that the driving current ID of the pixel light emitting element L is independent of the critical voltage (V TH — DT1 ) of the first driving transistor DT1, the voltage difference (V LED ) between the first end and the second end when the pixel light emitting element L is turned on, and the first power supply voltage V DD . Thus, the pixel driving device 100 can use its own circuit configuration to compensate for the critical voltage variation of the first driving transistor DT1 and the voltage drop (IR Drop) of the first power supply voltage V DD caused by the line resistance in the current path, thereby improving the uniformity of the driving current ID of the pixel light-emitting element L. At this time, the scanning signal V SWEEP will slowly decrease, and its voltage variation will be coupled to the fourth node N4 through the third capacitor C3, but the control transistor CT is not turned on in the first sub-stage EP1 of the light-emitting stage EP. On the other hand, the control circuit 120 turns on the twelfth transistor T12 and the fourteenth transistor T14 according to the low luminescence control signal EM, so the sixth node N6 continues to be charged, and its voltage value is between the fifth reference voltage V REF5 and the sixth reference voltage V REF6 , and can be expressed as (V REF5 +V REF6 )/2.

請接續一併參照圖2、圖3F及圖3G,圖3F為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100於發光階段EP的第二子階段EP2的等效電路圖,圖3G為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100於發光階段EP的第二子階段EP2的另一等效電路圖。於發光階段EP的第二子階段EP2中,掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓準位持續地下降,發光控制訊號EM可以被設定為低電壓準位V GL,而控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、控制訊號S1[n+2]及控制訊號S2[n]可以被設定為高電壓準位V GHPlease continue to refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3F and FIG. 3G. FIG. 3F is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel driving device 100 in the second sub-stage EP2 of the light-emitting stage EP according to the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3G is another equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel driving device 100 in the second sub-stage EP2 of the light-emitting stage EP according to the embodiment of FIG. 1. In the second sub-stage EP2 of the light-emitting stage EP, the voltage level of the scanning signal V SWEEP continues to decrease, the light-emitting control signal EM can be set to a low voltage level V GL , and the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the control signal S1[n+2] and the control signal S2[n] can be set to a high voltage level V GH .

於圖3F中,控制電晶體CT的導通條件為源閘極電壓差大於臨界電壓(即V SG_CT>V TH_CT),且導通條件可等同於下列式子(2)與式子(3): (2); (3)。 In FIG. 3F , the conduction condition of the control transistor CT is that the source-gate voltage difference is greater than the critical voltage (ie, V SG — CT > V TH — CT ), and the conduction condition can be equivalent to the following equations (2) and (3): (2); (3).

其中 為第四參考電壓, 為資料電壓, 為控制電晶體CT的臨界電壓,且 為掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓變化量。隨時間推進,當掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓變化量大於第四參考電壓V REF4與資料電壓V DATA之間的電壓差時,控制電晶體CT導通。由式子(3)可知,控制電晶體CT的導通條件和控制電晶體CT的臨界電壓(V TH_CT)無關。本揭露之補償的概念主要是藉由預先儲存好的臨界電壓與電源電壓,使得在推導電流公式時可以進行消除,藉此畫素驅動裝置100可利用自身電路配置補償控制電晶體CT的臨界電壓,進而改善變異性的問題。在本揭露之實施例中,畫素發光元件L的發光時間長度可由資料電壓V DATA決定,而資料電壓V DATA是以脈衝寬度調變(Pulse-Width Modulation,PWM)進行控制,因此可將畫素發光元件L操作於最佳發光效率點,以降低在低灰階時的功率消耗。 in is the fourth reference voltage, is the data voltage, is the critical voltage of the control transistor CT, and is the voltage variation of the scanning signal V SWEEP . As time goes by, when the voltage variation of the scanning signal V SWEEP is greater than the voltage difference between the fourth reference voltage V REF4 and the data voltage V DATA , the control transistor CT is turned on. It can be seen from equation (3) that the conduction condition of the control transistor CT is independent of the critical voltage (V TH_CT ) of the control transistor CT. The concept of compensation disclosed in the present invention is mainly to eliminate the critical voltage and power supply voltage that are pre-stored when deriving the current formula, so that the pixel driving device 100 can use its own circuit configuration to compensate for the critical voltage of the control transistor CT, thereby improving the variability problem. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the luminous duration of the pixel luminous element L can be determined by the data voltage V DATA , and the data voltage V DATA is controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM), so that the pixel luminous element L can be operated at the optimal luminous efficiency point to reduce power consumption at low gray levels.

此外,第五節點N5與第三節點N3彼此電荷共享(Charge sharing),且第四電容C4的電容值大於第二電容C2的電容值,故第三節點N3會耦合至接近第四參考電壓V REF4。由於第四參考電壓V REF4是高電壓,使得第二驅動電晶體DT2與第十一電晶體T11關閉。當第二驅動電晶體DT2關閉時,圖3E中畫素發光元件L的驅動電流I D的路徑上就會無法流通電流,故畫素發光元件L關閉。當第十一電晶體T11關閉時,第六節點N6仍維持在介於第五參考電壓V REF5與第六參考電壓V REF6之間的電壓值,並仍表示為(V REF5+V REF6)/2。 In addition, the fifth node N5 and the third node N3 share charge with each other, and the capacitance of the fourth capacitor C4 is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor C2, so the third node N3 is coupled to a voltage close to the fourth reference voltage V REF4 . Since the fourth reference voltage V REF4 is a high voltage, the second drive transistor DT2 and the eleventh transistor T11 are turned off. When the second drive transistor DT2 is turned off, the current cannot flow in the path of the drive current ID of the pixel light-emitting element L in FIG. 3E , so the pixel light-emitting element L is turned off. When the eleventh transistor T11 is turned off, the sixth node N6 still maintains a voltage value between the fifth reference voltage V REF5 and the sixth reference voltage V REF6 , and is still expressed as (V REF5 +V REF6 )/2.

於圖3G中,第十三電晶體T13根據控制訊號S1[n+2]關閉,而第十二電晶體T12與第十四電晶體T14根據發光控制訊號EM仍保持導通,第十三電晶體T13根據控制訊號S1[n+2]關閉,故第六節點N6最終充電至第六參考電壓V REF6。第六節點N6會比前段時間更加提高自身的電壓準位,且第六節點N6的電壓變化量經由第四電容C4耦合至第五節點N5,且第五節點N5的電壓可表示為V REF4+[(V REF6-V REF5)/2]× 。此時,第五節點N5的電壓耦合至第三節點N3,藉以進一步地關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2與第十一電晶體T11。 In FIG. 3G , the thirteenth transistor T13 is turned off according to the control signal S1[n+2], while the twelfth transistor T12 and the fourteenth transistor T14 remain turned on according to the luminescence control signal EM, and the thirteenth transistor T13 is turned off according to the control signal S1[n+2], so the sixth node N6 is finally charged to the sixth reference voltage V REF6 . The sixth node N6 will increase its voltage level more than before, and the voltage change of the sixth node N6 is coupled to the fifth node N5 through the fourth capacitor C4, and the voltage of the fifth node N5 can be expressed as V REF4 +[(V REF6 -V REF5 )/2]× At this time, the voltage of the fifth node N5 is coupled to the third node N3, thereby further turning off the second driving transistor DT2 and the eleventh transistor T11.

詳細地說,掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓準位於發光階段EP中呈現連續線性變化(即持續下降),並耦合至第四節點N4,藉以將控制電晶體CT從關閉(如圖3E)切換至導通(如圖3F),使得第三節點N3可經由第五節點N5充電至第四參考電壓V REF4。當第六節點N6充電至第六參考電壓V REF6時,第三節點N3可再經由第五節點N5與第六節點N6充電至第六參考電壓V REF6,藉以利用正回授電路架構可以更快速地關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2,使圖3E中驅動電流I D的下降時間縮短,達到提升灰階控制精準度的效果。 Specifically, the voltage level of the scanning signal V SWEEP presents a continuous linear change (i.e., continuously decreases) in the emission phase EP and is coupled to the fourth node N4, thereby switching the control transistor CT from off (as shown in FIG. 3E ) to on (as shown in FIG. 3F ), so that the third node N3 can be charged to the fourth reference voltage V REF4 via the fifth node N5 . When the sixth node N6 is charged to the sixth reference voltage V REF6 , the third node N3 can be further charged to the sixth reference voltage V REF6 via the fifth node N5 and the sixth node N6, so that the second drive transistor DT2 can be turned off more quickly by utilizing the positive feedback circuit architecture, thereby shortening the falling time of the drive current ID in FIG. 3E and achieving the effect of improving the grayscale control accuracy.

請接續一併參照圖2及圖3H,圖3H為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100於截止階段TP的等效電路圖。於截止階段TP中,控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、控制訊號S1[n+2]、控制訊號S2[n]、發光控制訊號EM及掃描訊號V SWEEP可以被設定為高電壓準位V GH,因此所有電晶體皆關閉。 Please continue to refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3H , which is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel driving device 100 in the cut-off phase TP according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 . In the cut-off phase TP, the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the control signal S1[n+2], the control signal S2[n], the emission control signal EM and the scanning signal V SWEEP can be set to a high voltage level V GH , so that all transistors are turned off.

關於畫素驅動裝置100在顯示零灰階畫面的情況下,其各階段的操作請一併參照圖1、圖2、圖3A至圖3C、圖3H、圖4A及圖4B。需說明的是,畫素驅動裝置100在顯示零灰階畫面的情況下,其重置階段RP、補償階段CP、穩定階段SP的第一子階段SP1及截止階段TP皆與顯示非零灰階畫面的情況相同(如圖3A至圖3C、圖3H),故重置階段RP、補償階段CP、穩定階段SP的第一子階段SP1及截止階段TP不另贅述。Regarding the operation of each stage of the pixel driving device 100 when displaying a zero grayscale image, please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C, FIG. 3H, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B. It should be noted that when the pixel driving device 100 displays a zero grayscale image, its reset stage RP, compensation stage CP, first sub-stage SP1 of the stabilization stage SP and cut-off stage TP are the same as those when displaying a non-zero grayscale image (such as FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C, FIG. 3H), so the reset stage RP, compensation stage CP, first sub-stage SP1 of the stabilization stage SP and cut-off stage TP are not described separately.

請一併參照圖2及圖4A,圖4A為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100應用於零灰階畫面時之穩定階段SP的第二子階段SP2的等效電路圖。於穩定階段SP的第二子階段SP2中,控制訊號S1[n+2]與控制訊號S2[n]可以被設定為低電壓準位V GL,而控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、發光控制訊號EM及掃描訊號V SWEEP可以被設定為高電壓準位V GHPlease refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4A together. FIG. 4A is an equivalent circuit diagram of the second sub-stage SP2 of the stable stage SP when the pixel driving device 100 of the embodiment of FIG. 1 is applied to a zero grayscale image. In the second sub-stage SP2 of the stable stage SP, the control signal S1[n+2] and the control signal S2[n] can be set to a low voltage level V GL , and the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the luminous control signal EM and the scanning signal V SWEEP can be set to a high voltage level V GH .

於穩定階段SP的第二子階段SP2中,控制電路120根據被拉低的控制訊號S1[n+2]導通第十電晶體T10,故第五節點N5會充電至第四參考電壓V REF4。由於零灰階顯示,資料電壓V DATA會是低電壓,故控制電晶體CT直接導通,第三節點N3會充電至比較高電壓的第四參考電壓V REF4,藉此關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2與第十一電晶體T11。 In the second sub-phase SP2 of the stable phase SP, the control circuit 120 turns on the tenth transistor T10 according to the pulled-down control signal S1[n+2], so the fifth node N5 is charged to the fourth reference voltage V REF4 . Due to the zero grayscale display, the data voltage V DATA is a low voltage, so the control transistor CT is directly turned on, and the third node N3 is charged to the fourth reference voltage V REF4 of a relatively high voltage, thereby turning off the second drive transistor DT2 and the eleventh transistor T11.

請接續一併參照圖2及圖4B,圖4B為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100應用於零灰階畫面時之發光階段EP的等效電路圖。於發光階段EP中,掃描訊號V SWEEP的電壓準位逐漸下降,發光控制訊號EM可以被設定為低電壓準位V GL,而控制訊號S1[n-1]、控制訊號S1[n]、控制訊號S1[n+1]、控制訊號S1[n+2]及控制訊號S2[n]可以被設定為高電壓準位V GH。於發光階段EP中,基於第二驅動電晶體DT2仍保持關閉,畫素發光元件L的電流路徑上無法流通電流,至使畫素發光元件L關閉,藉此具有防止畫素發光元件L出現閃爍的功能。 Please continue to refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4B . FIG. 4B is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel driving device 100 according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 in the emission phase EP when the pixel driving device 100 is applied to a zero grayscale image. In the emission phase EP, the voltage level of the scanning signal V SWEEP gradually decreases, the emission control signal EM can be set to a low voltage level V GL , and the control signal S1[n-1], the control signal S1[n], the control signal S1[n+1], the control signal S1[n+2] and the control signal S2[n] can be set to a high voltage level V GH . In the light emitting phase EP, since the second driving transistor DT2 is still turned off, no current can flow in the current path of the pixel light emitting element L, so that the pixel light emitting element L is turned off, thereby preventing the pixel light emitting element L from flickering.

請一併參照圖1、圖5及圖6,圖5為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100的驅動電流I D在伽瑪曲線2.2下顯示高灰階的電流波形圖,圖6為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100的驅動電流I D在伽瑪曲線2.2下顯示低灰階的電流波形圖。於圖5中,畫素驅動裝置100在顯示255、127及32灰階的畫面時,驅動電流I D的電流波形的下降時間可分別為2.706微秒(μs)、2.612 μs、2.163 μs,由此可見,畫素驅動裝置100利用控制電路120導通控制電晶體CT,並利用正回授電路架構快速關閉第二驅動電晶體DT2,進而降低畫素驅動裝置100在顯示各灰階時驅動電流I D的下降時間,以提升灰階控制的精準度。特別的是,於圖6中,畫素驅動裝置100在顯示0灰階時驅動電流I D為0微安培(μA),因此畫素發光元件L不會出現閃爍。 Please refer to Figures 1, 5 and 6 together. Figure 5 is a current waveform diagram of the driving current ID of the pixel driving device 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 displaying a high gray level under the gamma curve 2.2, and Figure 6 is a current waveform diagram of the driving current ID of the pixel driving device 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 displaying a low gray level under the gamma curve 2.2. In FIG. 5 , when the pixel driver device 100 displays images of 255, 127, and 32 gray levels, the falling time of the current waveform of the driving current ID is 2.706 microseconds (μs), 2.612 μs, and 2.163 μs, respectively. It can be seen that the pixel driver device 100 uses the control circuit 120 to turn on the control transistor CT, and uses the positive feedback circuit architecture to quickly turn off the second driving transistor DT2, thereby reducing the falling time of the driving current ID when the pixel driver device 100 displays each gray level, thereby improving the accuracy of gray level control. In particular, in FIG. 6 , when the pixel driving device 100 displays gray level 0, the driving current ID is 0 microampere (μA), so the pixel light-emitting element L will not flicker.

請一併參照圖1、圖7及圖8,圖7為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100的驅動電流I D在第一驅動電晶體DT1之臨界電壓變異與第一電源電壓V DD變異下的電流波形圖,圖8為依照圖1實施例之畫素驅動裝置100的驅動電流I D在控制電晶體CT之臨界電壓變異下的電流波形圖。於圖7中,曲線M1代表在第一驅動電晶體DT1之臨界電壓變異-0.5 V及第一電源電壓V DD變異-0.3 V下的驅動電流I D,在畫素發光元件L導通時驅動電流I D可為46.9284 μA,且其相較於無變異時的錯誤率僅有3.17%。曲線M2代表在第一驅動電晶體DT1之臨界電壓變異-0.5 V及第一電源電壓V DD變異+0.3 V下的驅動電流I D,在畫素發光元件L導通時驅動電流I D可為47.6237 μA,且其相較於無變異時的錯誤率僅有1.73%。曲線M3代表在第一驅動電晶體DT1之臨界電壓無變異及第一電源電壓V DD無變異下的驅動電流I D,在畫素發光元件L導通時驅動電流I D可為48.4663 μA。由此可見,畫素驅動裝置100透過自身電路架構補償第一驅動電晶體DT1的臨界電壓變異以及第一電源電壓V DD變異,可提升驅動電流I D之均一性。 Please refer to Figures 1, 7 and 8 together. Figure 7 is a current waveform diagram of the driving current ID of the pixel driving device 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 under the critical voltage variation of the first driving transistor DT1 and the first power supply voltage VDD variation. Figure 8 is a current waveform diagram of the driving current ID of the pixel driving device 100 according to the embodiment of Figure 1 under the critical voltage variation of the control transistor CT. In FIG. 7 , curve M1 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage variation of the first driving transistor DT1 is -0.5 V and the first power supply voltage VDD varies by -0.3 V. When the pixel light-emitting element L is turned on, the driving current ID can be 46.9284 μA, and its error rate is only 3.17% compared to when there is no variation. Curve M2 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage of the first driving transistor DT1 varies by -0.5 V and the first power supply voltage VDD varies by +0.3 V. When the pixel light-emitting element L is turned on, the driving current ID can be 47.6237 μA, and its error rate is only 1.73% compared to the case of no variation. Curve M3 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage of the first driving transistor DT1 does not vary and the first power supply voltage VDD does not vary. When the pixel light-emitting element L is turned on, the driving current ID can be 48.4663 μA. It can be seen that the pixel driving device 100 can improve the uniformity of the driving current ID by compensating the critical voltage variation of the first driving transistor DT1 and the first power supply voltage V DD through its own circuit structure.

於圖8中,曲線Q1代表在控制電晶體CT之臨界電壓變異+0.3 V下的驅動電流I D。曲線Q2代表在控制電晶體CT之臨界電壓無變異下的驅動電流I D。曲線Q3代表在控制電晶體CT之臨界電壓變異-0.3 V下的驅動電流I D。由此可見,畫素驅動裝置100透過自身電路架構補償控制電晶體CT的臨界電壓變異,可使畫素發光元件L的發光時間誤差僅有0.38 μs和0.37 μs。 In FIG8 , curve Q1 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage variation of the control transistor CT is +0.3 V. Curve Q2 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage variation of the control transistor CT is unchanged. Curve Q3 represents the driving current ID when the critical voltage variation of the control transistor CT is -0.3 V. It can be seen that the pixel driving device 100 can compensate for the critical voltage variation of the control transistor CT through its own circuit structure, so that the luminescence time error of the pixel light-emitting element L is only 0.38 μs and 0.37 μs.

依據本揭露之畫素驅動裝置,利用驅動電路補償第一驅動電晶體及第一電源電壓,並利用控制電路補償控制電晶體,以消除第一驅動電晶體與控制電晶體之臨界電壓以及第一電源電壓的變異,進而提升亮度均勻性且減少發光時間誤差。此外,由於畫素驅動裝置在驅動電流路徑上僅配置二顆電晶體,如此可降低第一電源電壓與第二電源電壓之間的跨壓,達到節省功耗的效果。特別的是,畫素驅動裝置利用控制電路之正回授電路架構可以更快速地關閉第二驅動電晶體,使驅動電流的下降時間縮短,以提升灰階控制的精準度。According to the pixel driver disclosed in the present invention, the driving circuit is used to compensate the first driving transistor and the first power supply voltage, and the control circuit is used to compensate the control transistor, so as to eliminate the critical voltage of the first driving transistor and the control transistor and the variation of the first power supply voltage, thereby improving the brightness uniformity and reducing the error of the luminous time. In addition, since the pixel driver only has two transistors configured on the driving current path, the cross voltage between the first power supply voltage and the second power supply voltage can be reduced, thereby achieving the effect of saving power consumption. In particular, the pixel driver utilizes the positive feedback circuit structure of the control circuit to turn off the second drive transistor more quickly, shortening the falling time of the drive current to improve the accuracy of grayscale control.
