Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种显示单元,特别是涉及一种显示单元,适用于显示面板,其可改善画面的均匀度。The invention relates to a display unit, in particular to a display unit which is suitable for a display panel and can improve the uniformity of a picture.
背景技术 Background technique
图1为公知有机发光显示(organic light emitting display)装置的面板示意图。面板1包括数据驱动器11、扫描驱动器12以及显示阵列13。数据驱动器11控制数条数据线DL1至DLn,且扫描驱动器11控制数条扫描线SL1至SLm。显示阵列13是由两两交错的数据线DL1至DLn以及扫描线SL1至SLm所形成,且每一交错的数据线和扫描线形成一个显示单元,例如,数据线DL1和扫描线SL1形成显示单元100。如图所示,显示单元100(其它显示单元相同)的等效电路包括开关晶体管T11、存储电容器Cs1、驱动晶体管T12以及有机发光二极管D1,其中,驱动晶体管T12为PMOS晶体管。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a panel of a conventional organic light emitting display device. The
扫描驱动器11依序送出扫描信号至扫描线SL1至SLm,而使在同一瞬间仅开启某一列上所有显示单元的开关晶体管,而关闭其它列上所有显示单元的开关晶体管。数据驱动器11则是根据待显示的图像数据,经数据线DL1至DLn,送出对应的视频信号(灰阶值)到一列的显示单元上。举例来说,当扫描驱动器12送出扫描信号至扫描线SL1时,显示单元100的开关晶体管T11导通,数据驱动器11则通过数据线DL1将对应的视频信号传送至显示单元100中,且由存储电容器Cs1来存储视频信号的电压。驱动晶体管T12则根据存储电容器Cs1所存储的电压,以提供驱动电流Id1来驱动有机发光二极管D1。The
由于有机发光二极管D1为电流驱动组件,驱动电流Id1的值可决定有机发光二极管D1所发射的光亮度。其中,驱动电流Id1为驱动晶体管T12的漏极电流,驱动晶体管T12的驱动能力,可由以下式子来表示:Since the organic light emitting diode D1 is a current-driven component, the value of the driving current Id1 can determine the brightness of the light emitted by the organic light emitting diode D1. Wherein, the driving current Id1 is the drain current of the driving transistor T12, and the driving capability of the driving transistor T12 can be expressed by the following formula:
id1=k(vsg+vth)2 id1=k(vsg+vth) 2
其中,id1表示驱动电流Id1的值,k表示驱动晶体管T12的导电参数,vsg表示驱动晶体管T12的源-栅极电压Vsg的值,vth表示驱动晶体管T12的临界电压值。Wherein, id1 represents the value of the driving current Id1, k represents the conduction parameter of the driving transistor T12, vsg represents the value of the source-gate voltage Vsg of the driving transistor T12, and vth represents the threshold voltage value of the driving transistor T12.
但是,由于薄膜晶体管的工艺因素,导致在显示阵列13中,各区域的驱动晶体管在电性上的差异,即驱动晶体管的临界电压值的差异。因此,当不同区域的数个显示单元接收具有相同电压的视频信号时,由于驱动晶体管的临界电压的差异,使得在这些显示单元中,提供至有机发光二极管的驱动电流的值不一致,造成了有机发光二极管所发射的亮度相异,面板1则会显示不均匀的画面。However, due to the technical factors of the thin film transistors, in the
此外,参考图2,由于驱动晶体管T12为PMOS晶体管,面板1上电源导线(power line)的输入端口21耦接电压源Vdd。同样的,所属技术领域中具有通常知识者可知,当显示单元100的驱动晶体管T12以NMOS来实现时,电源导线的输入端口21则耦接电压源Vss。根据面板1上电源导线的配置,距离输入端口21越远的显示单元对应较大的电源导线的等效阻抗,使得距离输入端口21越近的显示单元的亮度较亮,而距离输入端口21越近远显示单元的亮度较暗,造成亮度不均。In addition, referring to FIG. 2, since the driving transistor T12 is a PMOS transistor, the

Several data lines are arranged in sequence, and transmit several data signals respectively. The plurality of first scan lines are arranged in sequence and intersected with the plurality of data lines, and transmit a plurality of first scan signals respectively.

综上所述,与公知显示面板比较起来,本发明借助显示单元内增加的开关组件以及扫描信号与数据信号的控制,可避免驱动组件在电性上的差异而造成的不均匀画面。此外,也避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。To sum up, compared with the conventional display panel, the present invention can avoid the uneven picture caused by the electrical difference of the driving components by virtue of the added switch components in the display unit and the control of the scan signal and the data signal. In addition, uneven brightness caused by the arrangement of the power supply wires is also avoided.

第一实施例,图3表示本发明第一实施例的显示面板。请参考第3图,显示面板3包括数据驱动器31、扫描驱动器32、显示阵列33、依序配置的数据线DL1至DLn、依序配置的第一扫描线SL11至SL1m以及依序配置的第二扫描线SL21至SL2m。显示阵列33是由两两交错的数据线DL1至DLn、第一扫描线SL11至SL1m以及第二扫描线SL21至SL2m所形成,且每一交错的数据线、第一扫描线及第二扫描线形成一个显示单元,例如,数据线DL1、第一扫描线SL12、第二扫描线SL22形成显示单元300。如图所示,一行的显示单元耦接相同的第一及第二扫描线,例如,与显示单元300位于相同行的数个显示单元皆耦接第一扫描线SL12及第二扫描线SL22。数据驱动器31分别传送数据信号DS1至DSn至数据线DL1至DLn。扫描驱动器32分别传送第一扫描信号SS11至SS1m至第一扫描线SL11至SL1m以及分别传送第二扫描信号SS21至SS2m至第二扫描线SL21至SL2m。The first embodiment, FIG. 3 shows the display panel of the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 3, the
请参考图3,第一实施例的显示单元300(其它显示单元相同)的等效电路包括第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34、存储电容器Cs3、驱动组件T3以及发光组件D3。在图3中,驱动组件T3为PMOS晶体管。第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34可以为NMOS或PMOS晶体管。Please refer to FIG. 3 , the equivalent circuit of the display unit 300 (other display units are the same) of the first embodiment includes first to fourth switch components SW31 to SW34 , storage capacitor Cs3 , driving component T3 and light emitting component D3 . In FIG. 3 , the driving component T3 is a PMOS transistor. The first to fourth switch components SW31 to SW34 may be NMOS or PMOS transistors.
如图3所示,在显示单元300中,第一开关组件SW31的控制端耦接第一扫描线SL12,其输入端耦接数据线DL1,且其输出端耦接第一节点N31。第二开关组件SW32的控制端耦接第二扫描线SL22,其输入端第一节点N31,且其输出端耦接第二节点N32。第三开关组件SW33的控制端耦接第一扫描线SL12,其输入端耦接第二节点N32,且其输出端耦接第四节点N34。第四开关组件SW34的控制端耦接第二扫描线SL22,其输入端耦接第一电压源V 1,以及其输入端耦接第三节点N33。As shown in FIG. 3 , in the
存储电容器Cs3耦接于第一节点N31与第三节点N33之间。驱动组件T3的栅极(控制端)耦接第二节点N32,其源极(第一端)耦接第三节点N33,且其漏极(第二端)耦接第四节点N34。发光组件D3耦接于第四节点N34与第二电压源V2之间。在图3的实施例中,第一电压源V1为电压源Vdd,且第二电压源V2为电压源Vss。The storage capacitor Cs3 is coupled between the first node N31 and the third node N33. The gate (control terminal) of the driving component T3 is coupled to the second node N32 , the source (first terminal) thereof is coupled to the third node N33 , and the drain (second terminal) thereof is coupled to the fourth node N34 . The light emitting component D3 is coupled between the fourth node N34 and the second voltage source V2. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the first voltage source V1 is the voltage source Vdd, and the second voltage source V2 is the voltage source Vss.
图4表示第一实施例的第一扫描信号及第二扫描信号的时序图。在图4中,以显示单元300所对应的第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22为例来说明。在第一实施例中,第一至第四开关组件SW31至5W34以NMOS晶体管为例。第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22互为反相,且第二扫描信号SS22的致能脉冲EP2延迟第一扫描信号SS12的致能脉冲EP1一既定期间PT41。FIG. 4 shows a timing diagram of the first scan signal and the second scan signal of the first embodiment. In FIG. 4 , the first scan signal SS1 2 and the second scan signal SS2 2 corresponding to the
参考图4,在期间PT41内,由于第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22皆为高电平,因此第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34皆为导通。此时,存储电容器Cs3借助电压源Vdd充电,使得存储电容器Cs3存储一既定电压。因此,在数据信号DS1写入前,所有显示单元内的存储电容器皆处于共同状态,以利于后续的正常写入。在后续于期间PT41的期间PT42内,第一扫描信号SS12维持在高电平而第二扫描信号SS22变为低电平,因此,第一及第三开关SW31及SW33维持导通,而第二及第四开关SW32及SW34变为关闭。此时,数据信号DS1写入至存储电容器Cs3。显示单元300在期间PT42内的等效电路如图5a所示,且存储电容器Cs3两端的跨压(即存储电容器Cs3所存储的电压)如下所示:Referring to FIG. 4 , during the period PT41 , since the first scan signal SS1 2 and the second scan signal SS2 2 are both at high level, the first to fourth switch components SW31 to SW34 are all turned on. At this time, the storage capacitor Cs3 is charged by the voltage source Vdd, so that the storage capacitor Cs3 stores a predetermined voltage. Therefore, before the data signal DS 1 is written, the storage capacitors in all display units are in a common state, so as to facilitate subsequent normal writing. In the period PT42 following the period PT41, the first scan signal SS12 is maintained at a high level and the second scan signal SS22 is changed to a low level, therefore, the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are kept turned on, and The second and fourth switches SW32 and SW34 are turned off. At this time, the data signal DS1 is written to the storage capacitor Cs3. The equivalent circuit of the
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (式1)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (Formula 1)
其中,Δvcs3表示存储电容器Cs3两端的跨压,vss表示电压源Vss的电压值,vd3表示发光组件D3的跨压,vth表示驱动组件T3的临界电压值,vds1为数据信号DS1的电压值。Wherein, Δvcs3 represents the voltage across the two ends of the storage capacitor Cs3, vss represents the voltage value of the voltage source Vss, vd3 represents the voltage across the light-emitting component D3, vth represents the critical voltage value of the driving component T3, and vds1 represents the voltage value of the data signal DS1 .
在后续于期间PT42的期间PT43内,第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22皆为低电平,因此第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34皆为关闭。数据信号DS1停止写入至存储电容器Cs3。在后续于期间PT43的期间PT44内,第一扫描信号SS12维持在低电平而第二扫描信号SS22变为高电平,因此,第一及第三开关SW31及SW33维持关闭,而第二及第四开关SW32及SW34变为导通。此时,驱动组件T3则根据存储电容器Cs3所存储的电压,以提供驱动电流Id3来驱动发光组件D3。显示单元300在期间PT44内的等效电路如图5b所示。根据电荷守恒的原理,期间PT42内存储电容器Cs3的跨压等于期间PT44内存储电容器Cs3的跨压,因此,根据式1可得:During the period PT43 subsequent to the period PT42, the first scan signal SS12 and the second scan signal SS22 are at low level, so the first to fourth switch components SW31 to SW34 are all turned off. The data signal DS1 stops writing to the storage capacitor Cs3. In the period PT44 following the period PT43, the first scan signal SS12 is maintained at low level and the second scan signal SS22 is changed to high level, therefore, the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are kept closed, and the second The second and fourth switches SW32 and SW34 are turned on. At this time, the driving component T3 provides a driving current Id3 to drive the light emitting component D3 according to the voltage stored in the storage capacitor Cs3. The equivalent circuit of the
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (式2)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (Formula 2)
其中,vsg表示驱动组件T3的源-栅极电压Vsg的值。Wherein, vsg represents the value of the source-gate voltage Vsg of the driving component T3.
由于发光组件D3为电流驱动组件,驱动电流Id3的值可决定发光组件D3所发射的光亮度。驱动电流Id3为驱动组件T3的漏极电流,因此可获得:Since the light-emitting element D3 is a current-driven element, the value of the driving current Id3 can determine the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element D3. The driving current Id3 is the drain current of the driving component T3, so it can be obtained:
id3∝(vsg+vth)2 (式3)id3∝(vsg+vth) 2 (Equation 3)
其中,id3表示驱动电流Id3的值。Wherein, id3 represents the value of the driving current Id3.
根据式2及式3,可得:According to
id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1) (式4)id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1) (Formula 4)
根据式4可得知,驱动电流Id3不受驱动组件T3的临界电压值影响。换句话说,发光组件D3的亮度不因薄膜晶体管的工艺因素所导致的在驱动组件在电性上的差异而有所影响。因此避免了面板显示不均匀的画面。此外,根据式4还可得知,驱动电流Id3也不受电压源Vdd影响,借此避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。According to Equation 4, it can be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the threshold voltage value of the driving component T3. In other words, the luminance of the light-emitting component D3 is not affected by the electrical difference of the driving component caused by the process factors of the thin film transistor. Therefore, it is avoided that the panel displays an uneven picture. In addition, according to Equation 4, it can also be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the voltage source Vdd, thereby avoiding uneven brightness caused by the configuration of the power supply wires.
第二实施例,本发明的第二实施例与第一实施例,除了第一扫描信号、第二扫描信号及数据信号的时序外,显示面板及显示单元的配置与结构都相同。因此,将配合图3来说明第二实施例。图6表示第二实施例的第一扫描信号、第二扫描信号及数据信号的时序图。在图6中,以图3的显示单元300所对应的第一扫描信号SS12、第二扫描信号SS22、数据信号DS1为例来说明。在第二实施例中,第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34以NMOS晶体管为例。第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22互为反相。The second embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the first embodiment, except for the timing of the first scan signal, the second scan signal and the data signal, the configuration and structure of the display panel and the display unit are the same. Therefore, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . FIG. 6 shows a timing diagram of the first scan signal, the second scan signal and the data signal of the second embodiment. In FIG. 6 , the first scan signal SS1 2 , the second scan signal SS2 2 , and the data signal DS 1 corresponding to the
参考图6,在期间PT61内,第一扫描信号SS12为高电平而第二扫描信号SS22为低电平,因此,第一及第三开关SW31及SW33导通,而第二及第四开关SW32及SW34关闭。显示单元300在期间PT61内的等效电路如图5a所示。此时,数据信号DS1写入至存储电容器Cs3。这里需注意,数据信号DS1的电压先处于参考电平LVref,接着才改变至数据电平LVdata。当数据信号DS1的电压处于参考电平LVref时,存储电容器Cs3存储具有参考电平LVref的电压。因此,在具有数据电平LVdata的数据信号DS1写入前,所有显示单元内的存储电容器根据参考电平LVref而放电且皆处于共同状态,即所有存储电容器皆存储具有参考电平LVref的电压,以利于后续的正常写入。Referring to FIG. 6, in the period PT61, the first scan signal SS12 is high level and the second scan signal SS22 is low level, therefore, the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are turned on, and the second and third switches SW31 and SW33 are turned on, and the second and third switches The four switches SW32 and SW34 are closed. The equivalent circuit of the
当数据信号DS1之电压改变至数据电平LVdata时,存储电容器Cs3根据数据电平LVdata而充电,且在期间PT61中存储电容器Cs3两端的最终跨压如上述式1所示:When the voltage of the data signal DS1 changes to the data level LVdata, the storage capacitor Cs3 is charged according to the data level LVdata, and the final voltage across the two ends of the storage capacitor Cs3 during the period PT61 is as shown in
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (式1)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (Formula 1)
在后续于期间PT61的期间PT62内,第一扫描信号SS12变为低电平而第二扫描信号SS22变为高电平,因此,第一及第三开关SW31及SW33关闭,而第二及第四开关SW32及SW34导通。此时,驱动组件T3则根据存储电容器Cs3所存储的电压,提供驱动电流Id3来驱动发光组件D3。显示单元300在期间PT62内的等效电路如图5b所示。根据电荷守恒的原理,期间PT61内存储电容器Cs3的最终跨压等于期间PT62内存储电容器Cs3的跨压,因此,根据式1可得式2:In the period PT62 following the period PT61, the first scanning signal SS12 becomes low level and the second scanning signal SS22 becomes high level, therefore, the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are closed, and the second And the fourth switches SW32 and SW34 are turned on. At this time, the driving component T3 provides a driving current Id3 to drive the light emitting component D3 according to the voltage stored in the storage capacitor Cs3. The equivalent circuit of the
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (式2)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (Formula 2)
同样的,由于发光组件D3为电流驱动组件,驱动电流Id3的值可决定发光组件D3所发射的光亮度。驱动电流Id3为驱动组件T3的漏极电流,因此可获得式3:Similarly, since the light-emitting component D3 is a current-driven component, the value of the driving current Id3 can determine the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting component D3. The driving current Id3 is the drain current of the driving component T3, so
id3∝(vsg+vth)2 (式3)id3∝(vsg+vth) 2 (Equation 3)
根据式2及式3,可获得式4:According to
id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1) (式4)id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1) (Formula 4)
根据式4可得知,驱动电流Id3不受驱动组件T3的临界电压值影响。换句话说,发光组件D3的亮度不因薄膜晶体管的工艺因素所导致的在驱动组件在电性上的差异而有所影响。因此避免了面板显示不均匀的画面。此外,根据式4还可得知,驱动电流Id3也不受电压源Vdd影响,借此避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。According to Equation 4, it can be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the threshold voltage value of the driving component T3. In other words, the luminance of the light-emitting component D3 is not affected by the electrical difference of the driving component caused by the process factors of the thin film transistor. Therefore, it is avoided that the panel displays an uneven picture. In addition, according to Equation 4, it can also be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the voltage source Vdd, thereby avoiding uneven brightness caused by the configuration of the power supply wires.
在第二实施例中,对于所有显示单元而言,由于数据信号DS1的电压先处于参考电平LVref,使得在具有数据电平LVdata的数据信号DS1写入前,存储电容器根据参考电平LVref而放电。因此数据驱动器31配置有预先放电的功能。In the second embodiment, for all display units, since the voltage of the data signal DS 1 is at the reference level LVref first, before the data signal DS 1 with the data level LVdata is written, the storage capacitor is based on the reference level LVref while discharging. Therefore, the
第三实施例,根据本发明的第三实施例,显示单元300还可包括第五开关SW35,如图7所示。第五开关SW35的控制端接收开关信号SWS,其输入端耦接第一节点N31,且其输出端耦接参考电压源Vref。图8表示第三实施例的第一扫描信号、第二扫描信号及开关信号的时序图。在图8中,以图7的显示单元300所对应的第一扫描信号SS12、第二扫描信号SS22以及开关信号SWS为例来说明。在第三实施例中,第一至第五开关组件SW31至SW35以NMOS晶体管为例。第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22互为反相。The third embodiment, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the
参考图8,在期间PT81内,第一扫描信号SS12为低电平,使得第一及第三开关SW31及SW33关闭。第二扫描信号SS22,使得第二及第四开关SW32及SW34导通。开关信号SWS为高电平,即开关信号SWS出现致能脉冲EP3,使得第五开关SW35导通。存储电容器Cs3则根据参考电压源Vref的电压而进行放电。因此,在数据信号DS1写入前,所有显示单元内的存储电容器皆处于共同状态,以利于后续的正常写入。Referring to FIG. 8, during the period PT81, the first scan signal SS12 is at a low level, so that the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are turned off. The second scan signal SS2 2 makes the second and fourth switches SW32 and SW34 turn on. The switch signal SWS is at a high level, that is, the enable pulse EP3 appears in the switch signal SWS, so that the fifth switch SW35 is turned on. The storage capacitor Cs3 is then discharged according to the voltage of the reference voltage source Vref. Therefore, before the data signal DS 1 is written, the storage capacitors in all display units are in a common state, so as to facilitate subsequent normal writing.
在后续于期间PT81的期间PT82内,第一扫描信号SS12变为高电平,即第一扫描信号SS12出现致能脉冲EP1,使得第一及第三开关SW31及SW33导通。第二扫描信号SS22及开关信号SWS变为低电平,使得第二、第四、及第五开关SW32、SW34及SW35关闭。此时,数据信号DS1写入至存储电容器Cs3。显示单元300在期间PT82内的等效电路如第5a图所示,且存储电容器Cs3两端的跨压如上述式1所示:During the period PT82 following the period PT81, the first scan signal SS12 becomes high level, that is, the enable pulse EP1 appears in the first scan signal SS12, so that the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are turned on. The second scan signal SS22 and the switch signal SWS become low level, so that the second, fourth, and fifth switches SW32, SW34, and SW35 are turned off. At this time, the data signal DS1 is written to the storage capacitor Cs3. The equivalent circuit of the
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (式1)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1 (Formula 1)
在后续于期间PT82的期间PT83内,第一扫描信号SS12变为低电平,使得第一及第三开关SW31及SW33关闭。第二扫描信号SS22变为高电平,即第二扫描信号SS22出现致能脉冲EP2,使得第二及第四开关SW32及SW34导通。开关信号SWS维持低电平。此时,驱动组件T3则根据存储电容器Cs3所存储的电压,以提供驱动电流Id3来驱动发光组件D3。显示单元300在期间PT83内的等效电路如图5b所示。根据电荷守恒的原理,期间PT82内存储电容器Cs3的最终跨压等于期间PT83内存储电容器Cs3的跨压,因此,根据式1可得式2:During the period PT83 subsequent to the period PT82, the first scan signal SS12 becomes low level, so that the first and third switches SW31 and SW33 are turned off. The second scan signal SS2 2 becomes high level, that is, the enable pulse EP2 appears in the second scan signal SS2 2 , so that the second and fourth switches SW32 and SW34 are turned on. The switch signal SWS maintains a low level. At this time, the driving component T3 provides a driving current Id3 to drive the light emitting component D3 according to the voltage stored in the storage capacitor Cs3. The equivalent circuit of the
Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (式2)Δvcs3=[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1=vsg (Formula 2)
同样的,由于发光组件D3为电流驱动组件,驱动电流Id3的值可决定发光组件D3所发射的光亮度。驱动电流Id3为驱动组件T3的漏极电流,因此可获得式3:Similarly, since the light-emitting component D3 is a current-driven component, the value of the driving current Id3 can determine the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting component D3. The driving current Id3 is the drain current of the driving component T3, so
id3∝(vsg+vth)2 (式3)id3∝(vsg+vth) 2 (Equation 3)
根据式2及式3,可获得式4:According to
id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1)(式4)id3∝{[vss-(-vd3)-vth]-vds1+vth}=(vss+vd3-vds1) (Formula 4)
根据式4可得知,驱动电流Id3不受驱动组件T3的临界电压值影响。换句话说,发光组件D3的亮度不因薄膜晶体管的工艺因素所导致的驱动组件在电性上的差异而有所影响。因此避免了面板显示不均匀的画面。此外,根据式4还可得知,驱动电流Id3也不受电压源Vdd影响,借此避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。According to Equation 4, it can be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the threshold voltage value of the driving component T3. In other words, the brightness of the light-emitting component D3 is not affected by the electrical difference of the driving component caused by the process factor of the thin film transistor. Therefore, it is avoided that the panel displays an uneven picture. In addition, according to Equation 4, it can also be known that the driving current Id3 is not affected by the voltage source Vdd, thereby avoiding uneven brightness caused by the configuration of the power supply wires.
在第三实施例中,由于第一扫描信号SS12的致能脉冲EP1接续于开关信号SWS的致能脉冲EP3,因此,可得知开关信号SWS可以是显示单元300的前一列显示单元所对应的第一扫描信号SS11。换句话说,在显示单元300内,第五开关SW35的控制端可耦接第一扫描线SL11,以接收第一扫描信号SS11。In the third embodiment, since the enable pulse EP1 of the first scan signal SS12 is continuous with the enable pulse EP3 of the switch signal SWS, it can be known that the switch signal SWS may correspond to the display unit in the previous column of the
参考图3,根据本发明的第一至第三实施例,第一扫描信号SS11至SS1m及第二扫描信号SS21至SS2m皆由扫描驱动器32所提供。在一些实施例中,第一扫描信号SS11至SS1m与第二扫描信号SS21至SS2m可分别由两个相异的扫描驱动器所提供。参考图9,图9的显示面板9与图3的显示面板3的相异之处在于,显示面板9包括两扫描驱动器91及92。其中,扫描驱动器91分别传送第一扫描信号SS11至SS1m至第一扫描线SL11至SL1m,扫描驱动器92分别传送第二扫描信号SS21至SS2m至第二扫描线SL21至SL2m。Referring to FIG. 3 , according to the first to third embodiments of the present invention, the first scan signals SS1 1 to SS1 m and the second scan signals SS2 1 to SS2 m are provided by the
此外,根据本发明的第一至第三实施例,均以显示单元300的驱动组件T3为PMOS晶体管为例来说明,但并不以此为限。所属技术领域中具有通常知识者可知,显示单元300的驱动组件T3也可以NMOS晶体管来实施,如图10所示。除了以NMOS来实施的驱动组件T10以外,显示单元101包括与显示单元300相同的第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34、存储电容器Cs3以及发光组件D3。由于,以NMOS晶体管实施的驱动组件T10取代了以PMOS晶体管实施的驱动组件T3,因此,显示单元101的电路配置对应改变。此外,在图10中,第一电压源V1为电压源Vss,且第二电压源V2为电压源Vdd。In addition, according to the first to third embodiments of the present invention, the driving component T3 of the
当第一至第三实施例的信号时序应用于显示单元101时,可获得:When the signal timings of the first to third embodiments are applied to the
id5∝(vgs-vth)=(vds1-vdd+vd3)(式5)id5∝(vgs-vth)=(vds1-vdd+vd3) (Formula 5)
其中,id5表示驱动电流Id5的值,vgs表示驱动组件T10的栅-源极电压Vgs的值,vth表示驱动组件T10的临界电压值,且vds1为数据信号DS1的电压值,vdd表示电压源Vdd的电压值,以及vd3表示发光组件D3的跨压。Among them, id5 represents the value of the driving current Id5, vgs represents the value of the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving component T10, vth represents the critical voltage value of the driving component T10, and vds1 is the voltage value of the data signal DS1 , vdd represents the voltage source The voltage value of Vdd, and vd3 represent the voltage across the light-emitting component D3.
根据式5可得知,驱动电流Id5不受驱动组件T10的临界电压值影响。换句话说,发光组件D3的亮度不因薄膜晶体管的工艺因素所导致的驱动组件在电性上的差异而有所影响。因此避免了面板显示不均匀的画面。此外,根据式5还可得知,驱动电流Id5也不受电压源Vss影响,借此避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。According to Equation 5, it can be known that the driving current Id5 is not affected by the threshold voltage value of the driving component T10. In other words, the brightness of the light-emitting component D3 is not affected by the electrical difference of the driving component caused by the process factor of the thin film transistor. Therefore, it is avoided that the panel displays an uneven picture. In addition, according to Equation 5, it can also be known that the driving current Id5 is not affected by the voltage source Vss, thereby avoiding uneven brightness caused by the configuration of the power supply wires.
这里需注意的是,当图4中第一实施例的信号时序图应用于显示单元101时,在期间PT41内,由于第一扫描信号SS12与第二扫描信号SS22皆为高电平,因此第一至第四开关组件SW31至SW34皆为导通。此时,存储电容器Cs3借助电压源Vss而放电,使得存储电容器Cs3存储一既定电压。It should be noted here that when the signal timing diagram of the first embodiment in FIG. Therefore, the first to fourth switch components SW31 to SW34 are all turned on. At this time, the storage capacitor Cs3 is discharged by the voltage source Vss, so that the storage capacitor Cs3 stores a predetermined voltage.
综上所述,与公知显示面板比较起来,根据本发明的实施例,借助显示单元内增加的开关组件以及扫描信号与数据信号的控制,可避免驱动组件在电性上的差异而造成的不均匀画面。此外,也避免了电源导线的配置所导致的亮度不均。To sum up, compared with the known display panel, according to the embodiment of the present invention, with the help of the added switch components in the display unit and the control of the scan signal and the data signal, it is possible to avoid the unfavorable electrical differences of the drive components. Uniform picture. In addition, uneven brightness caused by the arrangement of the power supply wires is also avoided.
