Description of the Related Technology
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) includes two electrodes and an interposed organic emission layer. The OLED forms excitons by combining electrons injected from a cathode electrode with holes injected from an anode electrode at the organic emission layer and emits light by allowing the excitons to emit energy.
An OLED display includes a matrix of pixels where each pixel includes transistors for driving the OLED and a capacitor. The transistors typically include switching transistors and driving transistors.
The driving transistor controls a driving current flowing in the OLED and stores a data voltage in the storage capacitor connected to a driving gate node of the driving transistor. The storage capacitor keeps the stored data voltage for one frame. Therefore, the driving transistor supplies a constant amount of driving current to the OLED for one frame to emit light.
However, a change in voltage of the data line affects a voltage of a driving gate node of the driving transistor due to a parasitic capacitance formed between a driving gate node and a data line connected to a driving gate electrode of the driving transistor. The change in voltage of the driving gate node changes a driving current flowing in the OLED to cause vertical crosstalk which leads to a change in luminance.
To prevent this side effect, a spacing between the data line and the driving gate node positions them as far apart as possible. But as resolution increases, the size of the pixel is reduced. Process design does not allow for continuous reduction due to a limitation of facility specification and photolithography process capability, such that there is a limitation in minimizing the vertical crosstalk.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the OLED display according to the exemplary embodiment includes a plurality of signal lines 151, 152, 153, 158, 171, 172, and 192 and a plurality of pixels PXs which are connected to the signal lines and are arranged in approximately a matrix form.
One pixel PX includes a plurality of transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 which are connected to the signal lines 151, 152, 153, 158, 171, 172, and 192, a storage capacitor Cst, and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED).

The signal lines 151, 152, 153, 158, 171, 172, and 192 includes a scan line 151 which transfers a scan signal Sn, a previous scan line 152 which transfers a previous scan signal Sn-1 to the initialization transistor T4, a light emission control line 153 which transfers a light emission control signal EM to the operation control transistor T5 and the light emission control transistor T6, a bypass control layer 158 which transfers a bypass signal BP to the bypass transistor T7, a data line 171 which intersects the scan line 151 and transfers a data signal Dm, a driving voltage line 172 which transfers a driving voltage ELVDD and is formed in approximately parallel with the data line 171, and an initialization voltage line 192 which transfers an initialization voltage Vint initializing the driving transistor T1.
A gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 is connected to one terminal Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst, a source electrode S1 of the driving transistor T1 is connected to the driving voltage line 172 via the operation control transistor T5, and a drain electrode D1 of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to an anode of the OLED via the light emission control transistor T6.

A drain electrode D2 of the switching transistor T2 is connected to the driving voltage line 172 via the operation control transistor T5, while being connected to the source electrode S1 of the driving transistor T1. The switching transistor T2 is turned on depending on the scan signal Sn which is transferred through the scan line 151 to perform a switching operation of transferring the data signal Din transferred to the data line 171 to the source electrode S1 of the driving transistor T1.
A gate electrode G3 of the compensation transistor T3 is connected to the scan line 151, a source electrode S3 of the compensation transistor T3 is connected to the anode of the OLED via the light emission control transistor T6 while being connected to the drain electrode D1 of the driving transistor T1, a drain electrode D3 of the compensation transistor T3 is connected to a drain electrode D4 of the initialization transistor T4, one terminal Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst, and the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 together. The compensation transistor T3 is turned on depending on the scan signal Sn which is transferred through the scan line 151 to connect between the gate electrode G1 and the drain electrode D1 of the driving transistor T1 so as to be diode-connected to the driving transistor T1.
A gate electrode G4 of the initialization transistor T4 is connected to the previous scan line 152, the source electrode S4 of the initialization transistor T4 is connected to the initialization voltage line 192, and the drain electrode D4 of the initialization transistor T4 is connected to one terminal Cst1 of the storage capacitor Cst via the drain electrode of the compensation transistor T3 and the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 together. The initialization transistor T4 is turned on depending on the previous scan signal Sn-1 which is transferred through the previous scan line 152 to transfer the initialization voltage Vint to the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 so as to perform the initialization operation which initializes a gate voltage Vg of the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1.
A gate electrode G5 of the operation control transistor T5 is connected to the light emission control line 153, the source electrode S5 of the operation control transistor T5 is connected to the driving voltage line 172, and the drain electrode D5 of the operation control transistor T5 is connected to the source electrode S1 of the driving transistor T1 and the drain electrode D2 of the switching transistor T2.

The operation control transistor T5 and the light emission control transistor T6 are substantially simultaneously (or concurrently) turned on depending on the light emission control signal EM which is transferred through the light emission control line 153 and thus the driving voltage ELVDD is compensated by the diode-connected driving transistor T1 and then is transferred to the OLED.

Meanwhile, the exemplary embodiment describes a 7tr 1 cap (7 transistor, 1 capacitor) structure including the bypass transistor T7 but is not limited thereto and therefore the number of transistors and the number of capacitors can be variously changed.
Hereinafter, a detailed operation process of one pixel of the OLED display according to the exemplary embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of a signal applied to a pixel of the OLED display according to the exemplary embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, first, a low-level previous scan signal Sn-1 is supplied through the previous scan line 152 for an initialization period. Next, the initialization transistor T4 is turned on depending on the low-level previous scan signal Sn-1, the initialization voltage Vint is connected to the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 from the initialization voltage line 192 through the initialization transistor T4, and the driving transistor T1 is initialized by the initialization voltage Vint.
Next, the low-level scan signal Sn is supplied through the scan line 151 for a data programming period
Next, the switching transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T3 are turned on depending on the low-level scan signal Sn. In this case, the driving transistor T1 is diode-connected by the turned on compensation transistor T3 and is biased forward.
Next, a compensation voltage Dm+Vth (Vth is a negative value), where the data signal Dm supplied from the data line 171 is added by a threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving transistor T1, is applied to the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1. That is, the gate voltage Vg which is applied to the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 is the compensation voltage Dm+Vth.
The driving voltage ELVDD and the compensation voltage Dm+Vth is applied to both terminal of the storage capacitor Cst and a charge corresponding to the difference in voltage between both terminals of the storage capacitor Cst is stored in the storage capacitor Cst.
Next, the light emission control signal EM supplied from the light emission control line 153 is changed from a high level to a low level for an emission period. Next, the operation control transistor T5 and the light emission control transistor T6 are turned on by the low-level light emission control signal EM for the emission period.
Next, a driving current Id corresponding to a voltage difference between the gate voltage Vg of the gate electrode G1 of the driving transistor T1 and the driving voltage ELVDD is generated and the driving current Id is supplied to the OLED through the light emission control transistor T6. A driving gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor T1 is maintained at ‘(Dm+Vth)−ELVDD’ by the storage capacitor Cst for the emission period and depending on a current-voltage relationship of the driving transistor T1, the driving current Id is substantially proportional to a square ‘(Dm−ELVDD)2’ of a value obtained by subtracting the threshold voltage from the driving gate-source voltage. Therefore, the driving current Id is determined independent of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1.
In this case, the bypass transistor T7 receives a bypass signal BP from the bypass control line 158. Therefore, some of the driving current Id exit through the bypass transistor T7 as a bypass current Ibp.
When the OLED emits light even though a minimum current of the driving transistor T1 displaying a black image flows as a driving current, the black image is not properly displayed. Therefore, the bypass transistor T7 of the foldable display device according to the exemplary embodiment can disperse some of the minimum current of the driving transistor T1 to other current paths other than a current path to the OLED as the bypass current Ibp. Here, the minimum current of the driving transistor T1 means a current under the condition that the driving gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor T1 is less than the threshold voltage Vth and thus the driving transistor T1 is turned off. The minimum driving current (e.g., current which is equal to or less than about 10 pA) under the condition that the driving transistor T1 is turned off is transferred to the OLED and is represented by an image of black luminance. When the minimum driving current representing the black image flows, the effect of the bypass transfer of the bypass current Ibp is large but when a large driving current representing an image like a general image or a white image flows, an effect of the bypass current Ibp can be little. Therefore, when the driving current representing the black image flows, a light emitting current loled of the OLED which is reduced as much as a current amount of the bypass current Ibp which exits from the driving current Id through the bypass transistor T7 has a minimum current amount so as to certainly represent the black image. Therefore, the accurate black luminance image is achieved by using the bypass transistor T7 to improve a contrast ratio. In FIG. 2, the bypass signal BP is the same as the previous scan signal Sn-1, but is not necessarily limited thereto.
Hereinafter, the detailed structure of the OLED display illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically illustrating a plurality of transistors and a capacitor of an OLED display according to an exemplary embodiment. FIG. 4 is a detailed layout view of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the OLED display of FIG. 4 taken along the line V-V. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the OLED display of FIG. 4 taken along the line VI-VI. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the OLED display of FIG. 4 taken along the line VII-VII.
As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the OLED display according to the exemplary embodiment applies the scan signal Sn, the previous scan signal Sn-1, the light emission control signal EM, and the bypass signal BP respectively to the scan line 151, the previous scan line 152, the light emission control line 153, and the bypass control line 158 which are formed along a row direction. Further, the pixel unit P1 includes the data line 171 and the driving voltage line 172 which intersect the scan line 151, the previous scan line 152, the light emission control line 153, and the bypass control line 158 and applies the data signal Dm and the driving voltage ELVDD to the pixel 1, respectively. The driving voltage line 172 is configured of a first driving voltage line 172a parallel with the data line 171 and a second driving voltage line 172b parallel with the scan line 151. The first driving voltage line 172a and the second driving voltage line 172b are connected to each other through a contact hole 68.
The initialization voltage Vint is transferred from the initialization voltage line 192 to the compensation transistor T3 via the initialization transistor T4. The initialization voltage line 192 alternately has a straight line portion and an oblique line portion.
Further, the pixel PX is provided with the driving transistor T1, the switching transistor T2, the compensation transistor T3, the initialization transistor T4, the operation control transistor T5, the light emission control transistor T6, the bypass transistor T7, the storage capacitor Cst, and the OLED.
The OLED includes a pixel electrode 191, an organic emission layer 370, and a common electrode 270. In this case, the compensation transistor T3 and the initialization transistor T4 are configured of a transistor having a dual gate structure to cut off a leakage current.
Each channel of the driving transistor T1, the switching transistor T2, the compensation transistor T3, the initialization transistor T4, the operation control transistor T5, the light emission control transistor T6, and the bypass transistor T7 is formed inside one connected semiconductor 130 which can be curved in various shapes.
The semiconductor layer 130 can be formed of a polycrystalline semiconductor material or an oxide semiconductor material. The oxide semiconductor can include any one of an oxide of titanium (Ti), hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), aluminum (Al), tantalum (Ta), germanium (Ge), zinc (Zn), gallium (Ga), tin (Sn), or indium (In), and an indium-gallium-zinc oxide (InGaZnO4), an indium-zinc oxide (Zn—In—O), a zinc-tin oxide (Zn—Sn—O), an indium-gallium oxide (In—Ga—O), an indium-tin oxide (In—Sn—O), an indium-zirconium oxide (In—Zr—O), an indium-zirconium-zinc oxide (In—Zr—Zn—O), an indium-zirconium-tin oxide (In—Zr—Sn—O), an indium-zirconium-gallium oxide (In—Zr—Ga—O), an indium-aluminum oxide (In—Al—O), an indium-zinc-aluminum oxide (In—Zn—Al—O), an indium-tin-aluminum oxide (In—Sn—Al—O), an indium-aluminum-gallium oxide (In—Al—Ga—O), an indium-tantalum oxide (In—Ta—O), an indium-tantalum-zinc oxide (In—Ta—Zn—O), an indium-tantalum-tin oxide (In—Ta—Sn—O), an indium-tantalum-gallium oxide (In—Ta—Ga—O), an indium-germanium oxide (In—Ge—O), an indium-germanium-zinc oxide (In—Ge—Zn—O), an indium-germanium-tin oxide (In—Ge—Sn—O), an indium-germanium-gallium oxide (In—Ge—Ga—O), a titanium-indium-zinc oxide (Ti—In—Zn—O), and a hafnium-indium-zinc oxide (Hf—In—Zn—O), which are composite oxides thereof. When the semiconductor layer 130 is formed of the oxide semiconductor, a separate protective layer can be added to protect the oxide semiconductor material which is vulnerable to external environments, such as high temperature.
The semiconductor 130 includes a channel which is channel-doped with N-type impurity or P-type impurity. The semiconductor 130 also includes a source doping area and a drain doping area which are formed at both sides of the channel and have a doping concentration greater than that of the doping impurity which is doped in the channel. According to the exemplary embodiment of the exemplary embodiment, the source doping area and the drain doping area each correspond to the source electrode and the drain electrode. The source electrode and the drain electrode which are formed in the semiconductor 130 can be formed by doping only the corresponding area. Further, the area between the source electrodes and the drain electrodes of different transistors in the semiconductor 130 is doped, and thus the source electrodes can be electrically connected to the drain electrodes.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, a channel 131 includes a driving channel 131a which is formed in the driving transistor T1, a switching channel 131b which is formed in the switching transistor T2, a compensation channel 131c which is formed in the compensation transistor T3, an initialization channel 131d which is formed in the initialization transistor T4, an operation control channel 131e which is formed in the operation control transistor T5, a light emission control channel 131f which is formed in the light emission control transistor T6, and a bypass channel 131g which is formed in the bypass transistor T7.
The driving transistor T1 includes the driving channel 131a, a driving gate electrode 155a, a driving source electrode 136a, and a driving drain electrode 137a. The driving channel 131a can be curved and can have a meandering shape or a zigzag shape. As such, as the driving channel 131a is formed in the bent shape a narrow space thereof can be formed to be long with the driving channel 131a. Therefore, a driving range of the driving gate-source voltage Vgs between the driving gate electrode 155a and the driving source electrode 136a is widened by the long formed driving channel 131a. Since the driving range of the driving gate-source voltage Vgs is wide, it is possible to more delicately control gray scale of light emitted from the OLED by changing a magnitude of the gate-source voltage Vgs, thereby increasing a resolution of the OLED display and improving a display quality. The shape of the driving channel 131a is variously changed and thus various exemplary embodiments such as ‘reverse S’, ‘S’, ‘M’, ‘W’, and the like can be possible.
The driving gate electrode 155a overlaps the driving channel 131a and the driving source electrode 136a and the driving drain electrode 137a are each formed at both sides of the driving channel 131a, while being adjacent to each other. The driving gate electrode 155a is connected to a driving connecting member 174 through a contact hole 61.
The switching transistor T2 includes a switching channel 131b, a switching gate electrode 155b, a switching source electrode 136b, and a switching drain electrode 137b. The switching gate electrode 155b which is some of the portion extending downward from the scan line 151 overlaps the switching channel 131b and the switching source electrode 136b and the switching drain electrode 137b are each formed at both sides of the switching channel 131b, while being adjacent to each other. The switching source electrode 136b is connected to the data line 171 through a contact hole 62.
The compensation transistor T3 includes a compensation channel 131c, a compensation gate electrode 155c, a compensation source electrode 136c, and a compensation drain electrode 137c. The compensation gate electrode 155c which is a portion of the scan line 151 is formed in two to prevent a current from being leaked and overlaps the compensation channel 131c. The compensation source electrode 136c and the compensation drain electrode 137c each are adjacently formed to both sides of the compensation channel 131c. The compensation drain electrode 137c is connected to the driving connecting member 174 through a contact hole 63.
The initialization transistor T4 includes the initialization channel 131d, the initialization gate electrode 155d, the initialization source electrode 136d, and the initialization drain electrode 137d. The initialization gate electrode 155d which is a portion of the previous scan line 152 is formed in two to prevent a current from being leaked and overlaps the initialization channel 131d.

Here, the interlayer insulating layer 160 is a dielectric material and storage capacitance is determined by a charge charged in the storage capacitor Cst and a voltage between both capacitors 155a and 156. As such, the driving gate electrode 155a is used as the first storage electrode 155a, and thus a space in which the storage capacitor can be formed can be secured in a narrowing space due to the driving channel 131a occupying a large area within the pixel.

In this case, the first extension 138 can extend from the operation control source electrode 136e. 
In this case, a width of the first extension 138 can be greater than that of the data line 171. For example, the width of the data line 171 can be narrower than that of the first extension 138, and the data line 171 can completely overlap the first extension 138 in a width direction.
Meanwhile, the parasitic capacitor Ca occurs between the data line 171 and the scan line 151. The parasitic capacitor Ca changes the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a to affect luminance, thereby generating the vertical crosstalk.
However, according to the exemplary embodiment, the first extension 138 of the light emission control line overlapping the data line 171 is positioned between the data line 171 and the scan line 151. Therefore, the first extension 138 is formed between the scan line 151 and the data line 171 to minimize the parasitic capacitor between the scan line 151 and the data line 171. It is possible to control the vertical crosstalk by minimizing the kick back voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to minimize the change in the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a. 
Further, it is possible to expand the driving range of the driving gate-source voltage Vgs between the driving gate electrode 155a and the driving source electrode 136a by minimizing the kickback voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to increase the data voltage Dm. Therefore, it is possible to increase the resolution of the OLED display and improve the display quality by more elaborately controlling the gray scale of light emitted from the OLED.

Hereinafter, an OLED display according to another exemplary embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating a plurality of transistors and a capacitor of an OLED display according to another exemplary embodiment. Hereinafter, the same components as those of the foregoing OLED display will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 8, the light emission control line EM which is positioned on the same layer as the scan line includes an extension. The second extension 157 extends in a length direction of the data line 171 to overlap the data line 171. A portion of the data line 171 overlaps the light emission control line EM.
In this case, a width of the second extension 157 can be wider than that of the data line 171. That is, the width of the data line 171 can be narrower than that of the second extension 157, and the data line 171 can completely overlap the second extension 157 in a width direction.
Meanwhile, the parasitic capacitor Ca occurs between the data line 171 and the scan line 151 and the parasitic capacitor Ca changes the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a to affect luminance, thereby generating the vertical crosstalk.
However, according to another exemplary embodiment, the second extension 157 of the light emission control line overlapping the data line 171 is positioned between the data line 171 and the scan line 151. Therefore, the second extension 157 blocks between the scan line 151 and the data line 171 to minimize the parasitic capacitor between the scan line 151 and the data line 171. It is possible to control the vertical crosstalk by minimizing the kick back voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to minimize the change in the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a. 
Further, it is possible to expand the driving range of the driving gate-source voltage Vgs between the driving gate electrode 155a and the driving source electrode 136a by minimizing the kickback voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to increase the data voltage Dm. Therefore, it is possible to increase the resolution of the OLED display and improve the display quality by more elaborately controlling the gray scale of light emitted from the OLED.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, the semiconductor 130 according to another exemplary embodiment includes a first extension 138 which overlaps the data line 171. The first extension 138 extends in a length direction of the data line 171 to overlap the data line 171. That is, a portion of the data line 171 overlaps the semiconductor 130. In this case, the first extension 138 can extend from the operation control source electrode S5.
The width of the first extension 138 can be greater than that of the data line 171. For example, the width of the data line 171 is narrower than that of the first extension 138 and the data line 71 can completely overlap the first extension 138 in a width direction.
Further, according to another exemplary embodiment, in both pixels adjacent to each other, components such as the scan line, the light emission control line, the data line, and the driving voltage line are formed in a y-axis symmetry. Therefore, the first extension 138 according to another exemplary embodiment can be positioned to overlap all the data lines 171 which are positioned at both pixels adjacent to each other. That is, a pixel which is positioned in an n-th column and a pixel which is an n+1-th column can share one first extension 138 and the first extension 138 can overlap each of the data lines included in each pixel.
Meanwhile, the parasitic capacitor Ca occurs between the data line 171 and the scan line 151 and the parasitic capacitor Ca changes the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a to affect luminance, thereby generating the vertical crosstalk.
However, according to the exemplary embodiment, the first extension 138 of the semiconductor 130 overlapping the data line 171 is positioned between the data line 171 and the scan line 151. Therefore, the first extension 138 is formed between the scan line 151 and the data line 171 to minimize the parasitic capacitor between the scan line 151 and the data line 171. It is possible to control the vertical crosstalk by minimizing the kick back voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to minimize the change in the driving gate voltage Vg of the driving gate electrode 155a 
Further, it is possible to expand the driving range of the driving gate-source voltage Vgs between the driving gate electrode 155a and the driving source electrode 136a by minimizing the kickback voltage due to the parasitic capacitor to increase the data voltage Dm. Therefore, it is possible to increase the resolution of the OLED display and improve the display quality by more elaborately controlling the gray scale of light emitted from the OLED.
