TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly, to an OLED pixel driving circuit, a driving method for the OLED pixel driving circuit, and a display device including the OLED pixel driving circuit.
BACKGROUND
Compared with the liquid crystal display panel in the conventional technology, the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display panel has characteristics such as faster response speed, better color purity and brightness, higher contrast, wider visual angle and so on. Thus, the display technology developers are paying increasingly widespread attention to the OLED display panel.
A pixel unit in the OLED display panel mainly includes an organic light emitting diode and a pixel unit driving circuit for driving the organic light emitting diode. The traditional 2T1C pixel unit driving circuit is shown in FIG. 1A or FIG. 1B: including a first transistor T1, a driving transistor DTFT and a storage capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 is controlled by a first scan signal Sn output from a scan line, so as to control the writing of a data signal Data of a data line. The driving transistor DTFT is used for controlling the organic light emitting diode OLED to emit light. The storage capacitor Cst is used to provide a holding voltage to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT.
The organic light emitting diode OLED can emit light while it is driven by the driving current produced when the driving transistor DTFT is operating in saturation state, wherein the driving current IOLED can be expressed as:

where, μn·COX·W/L is a constant related to process and driving design, for example, μn is the carrier mobility, COX is the gate oxide layer capacitance, W/L is width to length ratio of the transistor; Vdata is the voltage of the data signal Data, Vdd is the driving voltage of the driving transistor DTFT and is shared by all the pixel units, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT.
However, due to technical limitations, the uniformity of the threshold voltage Vth is usually poor, and drifting of the threshold voltage Vth will occur in use. From the above equation it can be known that, if different pixel units have different Vth, then there is a difference in the driving current, causing non-uniform of the display brightness; if the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor drifts over time, it may result in different currents over time, influencing the display effect. Further, since there is a certain impedance on the driving voltage line inevitably, so there is a certain voltage drop (i.e., IR Drop) when the driving voltage Vdd of the driving transistor transmits from one end of the OLED display panel to the other end, which will result in the display brightness non-uniform across the OLED display panel, influencing the user's experience.

The second end of the storage unit 15 is connected with a gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT; the storage unit 15 is used to store a written voltage signal and provide it to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT. A source electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is connected with a driving power source, thus receiving a driving voltage Vdd; a drain electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is connected with a second end of the compensation unit 12. A first end of the partition unit 13 is connected with the drain electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, and a second end of the partition unit 13 is connected with the electroluminescent element 16; the partition unit 13 is used to partition the electronic connection between the driving transistor DTFT and the electroluminescent element 16.

The driving method for the OLED pixel driving circuit will be described below, which may include:
Reset stage: to control the reset unit 14 to be turned on and control the switching unit 11, the compensation unit 12 and the partition unit 13 to be turned off; the reset signal Re is applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT by the reset unit 14, so as to reset a level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, and eliminate the influence of the residual voltage signal of the last frame;

In the above OLED pixel driving circuit, firstly, the level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is reset by the reset unit 14, thus eliminating the influence of the residual voltage signal of the last frame; next, at the time of writing data into the storage unit 15, the electronic connection between the drain electrode of the driving transistor DTFT and the electroluminescent element 16 is blocked by the partition unit 13, and threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT and data signal Data are prestored by the storage unit 15, thus compensating for the threshold voltage drifting effectively, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the driving current, and in turn making the brightness of the OLED display panel more uniform.
In addition, the above OLED pixel driving circuit may further include a voltage stabilizing unit; a first end of the voltage stabilizing unit is connected with a reference voltage, a second end of the voltage stabilizing unit is connected with the first end of the storage unit; the reference voltage signal may be provided to the storage unit by arranging the voltage stabilizing unit, so as to stabilize a level of the first end of the storage unit at the display stage, thus stabilizing the level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor, and preventing the level from generating fluctuation due to interference of noises.
Referring to FIG. 3, it is a specific implementation of the above OLED pixel driving circuit. The electroluminescent element 16 may be an organic light emitting diode OLED, the switching unit 11 may be a first transistor T1, the compensation unit 12 may be a second transistor T2, the partition unit 13 may be a third transistor T3, the reset unit 14 may be a fourth transistor T4, and the storage unit 15 may be a storage capacitor Cst.
In the present exemplary embodiment, a gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected with a first scan line, a source electrode thereof is connected with the data signal, and a drain electrode thereof is connected with a first end of the storage capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 may be turned on or turned off under the control of a first scan signal Sn output from the first scan line. A gate electrode of the second transistor T2 is also connected with the first scan line, a source electrode thereof is connected with the drain electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, and a drain electrode thereof is connected with a second end of the storage capacitor Cst. The second transistor T2 may be turned on or turned off under the control of the first scan signal Sn output from the first scan line. The second end of the storage capacitor Cst is connected with the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT. A gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected with an enable signal En, a source electrode thereof is connected with the drain electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, and a drain electrode thereof is connected with the organic light emitting diode OLED. The third transistor T3 may be turned on or turned off under the control of the enable signal En. A gate electrode and a source electrode of the fourth transistor T4 are connected with the reset signal Re, and a drain electrode thereof is connected with the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT. The fourth transistor T4 may be turned on or turned off under the control of the reset signal Re.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the above reset signal Re may be a second scan signal Sn-1; the second scan signal Sn-1 is provided by a second scan line, the second scan line is a preceding scan line ahead of the first scan line, which may reduce the amount of the total control signals and control lines.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, besides the above devices, the OLED pixel driving circuit in the present exemplary embodiment may further include a fifth transistor T5. A gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected with the enable signal En, a source electrode thereof is connected with a reference voltage Vref, and a drain electrode thereof is connected with the first end of the storage capacitor Cst. The fifth transistor T5 may be turned on or turned off under the control of the enable signal En. The reference voltage signal may be provided to the storage capacitor Cst by arranging the fifth transistor T5, so as to stabilize a level of the first end of the storage capacitor Cst at the display stage, thus stabilizing a level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, and preventing the level from generating fluctuation due to interference of noises.
The additional advantage of the pixel driving circuit in the present embodiment is the use of a single channel type of transistors, which are all P-type thin film transistors. Using only P-type thin film transistors further has the following advantages: for example, a strong suppression against noise; for example, because of low-level turning on, it is easier to achieve a low level in the charging management; for example, N-type thin film transistor is vulnerable to be affected by Ground Bounce, while P-type thin film transistor will only be affected by IR Drop of driving voltage line, and generally the impact of IR Drop is easier to be eliminated; for example, P-type thin film transistor's manufacturing process is simple, and the price is relatively low; for example, the stability of P-type thin film transistor is better, and so on. Therefore, using only P-type thin film transistors may not only reduce the complexity of the manufacturing process and the production cost, but also contribute to improve quality of the product. As shown in FIG. 3, when all the transistors are P-type thin film transistors, the source electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is connected with a high level driving voltage Vdd, the drain electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected with an anode of the organic light emitting diode OLED, and a cathode of the organic light emitting diode OLED is connected with a low level voltage Vss.
Those skilled in the art may easily obtain that the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure may be easily changed to a pixel driving circuit with only N-type thin film transistors. As compared with the circuit connection structure of P-type thin film transistors, the differences mainly lie in: when all the transistors are N-type thin film transistors, the source electrode of the driving transistor is connected with a low level driving voltage, the drain electrode of the third transistor is connected with the cathode of the organic light emitting diode, and the anode of the organic light emitting diode is connected with a high level voltage. Also, the pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure may be easily changed to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) circuit and the like, which is not limited to the OLED pixel driving circuit provided in the present embodiment, and will not be repeatedly illustrated herein.
Hereinafter, the driving method for the OLED pixel driving circuit in FIG. 3 is illustrated in combination with the driving timing diagram as shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 4, the driving method mainly includes a reset timing segment t1, a charging timing segment t2 and a display timing segment t3. The equivalent circuit diagrams at each timing segments are shown in FIGS. 5-7.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the reset timing segment t1, the second scan signal Sn-1 is at low level, thus controlling the fourth transistor T4 to be turned on; the first scan signal Sn is at high level, thus controlling the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 to be turned off; the enable signal En is also at high level, thus controlling the third transistor T3 and the fifth transistor T5 to be turned off. In this timing segment, the reset signal (i.e., the second scan signal Sn-1) is applied to the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT through the fourth transistor T4, thus resetting the level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT, eliminating the influence of the residual voltage signal of the last frame.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in the charging timing segment t2, the first scan signal Sn is at low level, thus controlling the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 to be turned on, thereby the data signal Data is written into the storage capacitor Cst; at this time, voltage at Point A in FIG. 6 is data signal voltage Vdata. The enable signal En is at high level, thus controlling the third transistor T3 and the fifth transistor T5 to be turned off; the second scan signal Sn-1 is also at high level, thus controlling the fourth transistor T4 to be turned off. Because the second transistor T2 is turned on, making the driving transistor DTFT form a diode connection, and ensuring that the driving transistor DTFT operates in a current saturation region, therefore, the driving power source charges the storage capacitor Cst by the stable driving voltage Vdd provided through the driving transistor DTFT, until the voltage of Point B in FIG. 6 rises to Vdd+Vth (Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor DTFT); at this time, the driving transistor DTFT is turned off, and the voltage across the storage capacitor Cst is Vdd+Vth−Vdata.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, in the display timing segment t3, the enable signal En is at low level, controlling the third transistor T3 and the fifth transistor T5 to be turned on; the first scan signal Sn is at high level, controlling the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 to be turned off; the reset signal Re is also at high level, controlling the fourth transistor T4 to be turned off. In this timing segment, the reference voltage Vref is written into the storage capacitor Cst through the third transistor T3, so the voltage of the first end of the storage capacitor Cst (i.e., the voltage at Point A in FIG. 7) equals to the reference voltage Vref. Because the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT is hung in the air, the level of the gate electrode of the driving transistor DTFT also jumps to be:

Vg=Vdd+Vth−Vdata+Vref

The gate-source voltage of the driving transistor DTFT is:

Vgs=Vg−Vgs=(Vdd+Vth+Vref−Vdata)−Vdd=Vref+Vth−Vdata

At this time, the driving transistor DTFT is in saturation state, which provides stable driving current for the organic light emitting diode OLED; the driving current of the organic light emitting diode OLED is:

where, μn·COX·W/L is a constant related to process and driving design. At last, the driving current drives the organic light emitting diode OLED to emit light through the third transistor T3.
It can be seen that in the present exemplary embodiment, there is no relationship between the driving current and the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DTFT, so the threshold voltage drifting of the driving transistor DTFT will not affect the current of its drain electrode (i.e., the driving current Ioled of the pixel circuit). In addition, it can be seen that in the present exemplary embodiment, there is also no relationship between the driving current and the driving voltage Vdd of the driving transistor DTFT, so the voltage drop of the driving voltage Vdd (i.e., IR Drop) will not affect the driving current Ioled of the pixel circuit either. In conclusion, the present exemplary embodiment compensates for the threshold voltage drifting effectively, eliminating the influence of IR Drop on the driving current, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the driving current, and thus making the brightness of the OLED display panel more uniform.
In addition, the inventor simulated the OLED pixel driving circuit of the present exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8A, it is the simulation result under the simulation condition of Vth±1V. It can be seen that, although the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor DTFT fluctuates, it does not have much influence on the driving current Ioled. As shown in FIG. 8B, it is the simulation result under the simulation condition of Vdd±1V. It can be seen that, although the driving voltage Vdd of the driving transistor DTFT fluctuates, it does not have much influence on the driving current Ioled either.
Further, the present exemplary embodiment also provides a display device. The display device includes the aforesaid OLED pixel driving circuit. Specifically, the display device may include a plurality of pixel arrays, each pixel corresponding to any one of the OLED pixel driving circuits in the present exemplary embodiment. The OLED pixel driving circuit compensates for the threshold voltage drifting of the driving transistor, and eliminates the influence of IR Drop on the driving current, thus making the organic light emitting diode OLED to be displayed stably, improving the uniformity of the display brightness of the display device, which may thereby improve the display quality greatly.
