The international application under PCT article 21(2) was not published in English.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of organic light emitting display, and particularly, to a pixel circuit, a display panel and a display apparatus.
BACKGROUND
An Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display has got a lot of attention at present because it has advantages of a low power consumption, a high brightness, a low cost, a wide angle of view, a rapid response speed, etc, which has been applied widely in a field of the organic light emitting technique.
The OLED display drives a light emitting device to emit light is in a manner of direct-current driving. A capacitor is charged before the light emitting device is driven to emit light, and then a data signal is written into the capacitor; the capacitor is discharged when the light emitting device is driven to emit light for display, a discharging voltage of the capacitor decides the driving current flowing through a driving transistor, and the driving current from the driving transistor drives the light emitting device to emit light.
Generally, in a pixel circuit without any compensation sub-circuit, the driving current id driving the light emitting device to emit light is in proportion to (Vdd−Vss−VData−Vth)2. Wherein the Vdd is a high level reference voltage, the Vss is a low level reference voltage, the VData is a data signal voltage provided by a data line, and the Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
A pixel structure in the current OLED display has following problems.
Firstly, the plurality of driving transistors for driving the respective light emitting devices to emit light and display on a backboard are non-uniform in the structure because of their manufacture processes and are also non-uniform in their electrical performances and stabilizations, which cause the threshold voltages Vth of the respective driving transistors shift with respect to a preset value Vth0. Secondly, the stabilization of the driving transistor would decrease in a case that the driving transistor has been turned on in the manner of direct-current driving for a long time, such that its threshold voltage Vth would also change.
Additionally, with the development of maximization of the OLED size, loads on a signal line become great accordingly and the number of the pixel circuits increases. A same power supply (a power supply providing the high level reference voltage Vdd) provides power supplies for different pixel circuits, and thus the voltage Vdd decreases evidently with the increasing of wirings such that the voltages Vdd actually provided to the respective pixel circuits are different from each other. When a same data signal VData is applied to each pixel circuit, the currents flowing through each OLED in a display area on the backboard are not identical due to the different values of Vdd, which cause the currents on the backboard to be non-uniform, such that a brightness in an image is non-uniform.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pixel circuit, a display panel and a display apparatus, which are configure to raise the uniformity of the display brightness within a display area of the display panel.
An Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Display (AMOLED) panel comprises a plurality of pixel units arranged in a matrix, and each of the pixel units comprises a light emitting device (such as an OLED) and a pixel circuit for driving the light emitting device to emit light.
The pixel circuit comprises a first reference voltage source and a second reference voltage source, which provide operation voltages. Generally, several pixel circuits or all pixel circuits on the display panel share one first reference voltage source and one second reference voltage source. One terminals of the respective pixel circuits are connected with the first reference voltage source, the other terminals are connected with one terminals of the corresponding light emitting devices, the other terminals of the light emitting devices are connected with the second reference voltage source; the first reference voltage source is connected with the plurality of pixel circuits through a plurality of power supply leads arranged in a same direction on the display panel. Because a driving manner of the pixel circuits is a current driving manner, a voltage provided from the first reference voltage source would have a certain attenuation amount on the power supply lead with a certain resistance when the voltage is loaded to the pixel circuit, such that a voltage value actual provided to the pixel circuit from the first reference voltage source is smaller than a preset voltage value. The attenuation amount of the voltage, which is provided from the first reference voltage source, on the power supply lead is defined as ΔV, and a driving current for driving the light emitting device to emit light is associated with the attenuation amount ΔV thereby the existing of the attenuation amount ΔV causes the light emitting device driven by the pixel circuit to emit light abnormally or a low brightness of the emitted light.
In the pixel circuit provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a compensation sub-circuit is disposed between the light emitting device and the second reference voltage source, which is configured to compensate an attenuation amount ΔV of the voltage, provided by the first reference voltage source, on the power supply lead, so that the driving current for driving the light emitting device to emit light is independent of the attenuation amount ΔV.
Solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure would be described in details below in connection with drawings.
Referring to FIG. 1, a pixel circuit according to the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises:

    
    
        a charging sub-circuit 1, a driving sub-circuit 2 and a compensation sub-circuit 3;
        a first terminal (terminal A) of the driving sub-circuit 2 is connected with a first reference voltage source (Vref1), and its second terminal (terminal B) is connected with a first terminal of the light emitting device D1, a second terminal of the light emitting device D1 is connected with a first terminal of the compensation sub-circuit 3, a second terminal of the compensation sub-circuit 3 is connected with the second reference voltage source (Vref2); a third terminal (terminal C) of the driving sub-circuit 2 is connected with the charging sub-circuit 1.
    
    


The compensation sub-circuit 3 provides a reference voltage Vref3 to the second terminal of the light emitting device D1, wherein Vref3=Vref2−ΔV. That is, the compensation sub-circuit 3 compensates for the attenuation amount ΔV of the voltage on the power supply lead, and a voltage value output from the compensation sub-circuit 3 is a voltage value provided for the second terminal of the light emitting device D1, which has been subjected to the voltage compensation.
Alternatively, the light emitting device D1 may be an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) or other light emitting device.
It should be noted that the pixel circuit comprises at least one driving transistor for driving the light emitting device to emit light, and the driving transistor may be a n-type driving transistor or a p-type driving transistor.
When the driving transistor is the n-type driving transistor, the first reference voltage source (Vref1) provide a low level voltage Vss, and the second reference voltage source (Vref2) provides a high level voltage Vdd, and at this time, the attenuation amount ΔV of the voltage Vss, provided by the first reference voltage source Vref1, on the power supply lead needs to be compensated for; herein, a cathode of the light emitting device D1 (namely the first terminal of the light emitting device) is connected with the driving sub-circuit, and its anode (namely the second terminal of the light emitting device) is connected with the second reference voltage source (Vref2).
When the driving transistor is the p-type driving transistor, the first reference voltage source (Vref1) provide the high level voltage Vdd, and the second reference voltage source (Vref2) provides the low level voltage Vss, and at this time, the attenuation amount ΔV of the voltage Vdd on the power supply lead needs to be compensated for. Herein, the anode of the light emitting device D1 (namely the first terminal of the light emitting device) is connected with the driving sub-circuit 2, and its cathode (namely the second terminal of the light emitting device) is connected with the second reference voltage source (Vref2).
Taking the p-type driving transistor as an example, the first reference voltage source Vref1 according to the present embodiment provides the high level voltage Vdd, the second reference voltage source Vref2 provides the low level voltage Vss, and the attenuation amount of the Vdd on the power supply lead connected to the driving sub-circuit is ΔV; a voltage actually loaded to the anode of the light emitting device D1 from the first reference voltage source Vref1 is Vdd−ΔV.
The compensation sub-circuit provides the second terminal of the light emitting device with a voltage Vref3=Vss−ΔV, so that the driving current flowing through the light emitting device D1 is in proportion to ((Vdd−ΔV)−(Vss−ΔV)−VData−Vth)2, that is, in proportion to (Vdd−Vss−VData−Vth)2, where the VData is a data signal voltage provided by the charging sub-circuit and the Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor in the driving sub-circuit. That is to say, the compensation sub-circuit compensates for the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vdd on the power supply lead, so that the current flowing through the light emitting device is independent of the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vdd on the power supply lead, that is, the brightness of the light emitting device in the pixel circuit is not affected by the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vdd on the power supply lead.
When performing specific implementations, the reference voltage Vref3=Vss−ΔV, output from the compensation sub-circuit, is a preset value, and an amplitude of Vss−ΔV may be determined in advance by experience value and/or a visual effect. Specifically, when the brightness in an area corresponding to a certain pixel unit is darker than that of areas corresponding to other pixel units, the compensation sub-circuit according to the present embodiment is disposed for the pixel circuit of that pixel unit and is configured to output a set voltage value according to the experience value, the brightness in the area corresponding to the pixel unit equipped with the compensation sub-circuit is visually measured and the voltage value output from the compensation sub-circuit is adjusted until the brightness in the area corresponding to the pixel unit equipped with the compensation sub-circuit is identical with the brightness in the areas corresponding to the other pixel units, and then the voltage value output from the compensation sub-circuit is determined as the Vss−ΔV. Of course, the determination based on visual effect is only one of the commonly used manners, and the determination may also be made by detecting the emitted light brightness with instruments, thereby no specific limitations are made herein.
Taking the n-type driving transistor as an example, the first reference voltage source Vref1 according to the present embodiment provides the low level voltage Vss, the second reference voltage source Vref2 provides the high level voltage Vdd, and the attenuation amount of the Vss on the power supply lead connected to the driving sub-circuit is ΔV; a voltage actually loaded to the cathode of the light emitting device D1 from the first reference voltage source Vref1 is Vss−ΔV.
The compensation sub-circuit provides the second terminal of the light emitting device with a voltage Vdd−ΔV, so that the driving current flowing through the light emitting device is in proportion to ((Vss−ΔV)−(Vdd−ΔV)−VData−Vth)2, that is, in proportion to (Vss−Vdd−VData−Vth)2, where the VData is the data signal voltage provided by the charging sub-circuit and the Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor in the driving sub-circuit. That is to say, the compensation sub-circuit compensated for the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vss on the power supply lead, so that the current flowing through the light emitting device is independent of the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vss on the power supply lead, that is, the brightness of the light emitting device in the pixel circuit is not affected by the attenuation amount ΔV of the Vss on the power supply lead.
When performing specific implementations, the Vdd−ΔV output from the compensation sub-circuit is a preset value, the Vdd is known and the amplitude of ΔV may be determined in advance according to the experience value and/or the visual effect. Detailed description is the same as the above description for the p-type driving transistor, and will not be repeated herein.
Alternatively, the compensation sub-circuit provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be, but is not limited to, a direct-current voltage source, by which the second terminal of the light emitting device D1 is provided with the reference voltage Vref3.
A positive electrode terminal of the direct-current voltage source is connected with the second reference voltage source, a negative electrode terminal thereof is connected with the second terminal of the light emitting device, and the voltage Vref3 provided by the direct-current voltage source is lower than the voltage Vref2 provided by the second reference voltage source.
Alternatively, the direct-current voltage source can be an adjustable voltage source. When making specific implementations, the voltage value Vref2−ΔV output from the compensation sub-circuit is adjusted according to the visual effect and the experience value, so that the brightness of light emitted from the light emitting device D1 is more uniform than the brightness of other light emitting devices. When the direct-current voltage source is the adjustable voltage source, the output reference voltage value Vref3 is more flexible, and thus the compensation for the ΔV of the voltage at the second terminal of the light emitting device is also more flexible.
Referring to FIG. 2, the driving sub-circuit 2 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises:

    
    
        a driving transistor T0 and a capacitor Cst;
        wherein a source of the driving transistor T0 is connected with the output terminal of the first reference voltage source Vref1, a drain thereof is connected with the first terminal of the light emitting device D1, a gate thereof is connected with a first end (end D) of the capacitor Cst and the charging sub-circuit 1; a second end (end E) of the capacitor Cst is connected with the output terminal the first reference voltage source Vref1.
