如第2圖所示,在本案一實施例中,微發光二極體畫素電路100具有三個操作階段:重設階段P1,補償與資料寫入階段P2,以及,發光階段P3。底下將分別說明這三個階段。 As shown in FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, the micro-luminescent diode pixel circuit 100 has three operation stages: reset stage P1, compensation and data writing stage P2, and luminescence stage P3. These three stages will be described below.

第3A圖至第3C圖分例顯示在本案一實施例中之微發光二極體畫素電路100之重設階段P1,電壓讀取與資料寫入階段P2,以及,發光階段P3之操作示意圖。 Figures 3A to 3C respectively show the operation schematic diagrams of the reset phase P1, the voltage reading and data writing phase P2, and the light-emitting phase P3 of the micro-luminescent diode pixel circuit 100 in an embodiment of the present case.

如第3A圖所示,於重設階段P1,補償控制信號VC(n)與第n-1級串列控制信號SN(n-1)為邏輯低,使得第八電晶體T8與第五電晶體T5為導通,將第二節點N2的電壓拉至第一參考電壓Vref1且將第三節點N3的電壓拉至第二參考電壓Vref2。此外,於重設階段P1,預先開啟第二電晶體T2,以為下一個階段P2做準備。 As shown in Figure 3A, in the reset phase P1, the compensation control signal VC(n) and the n-1th stage serial control signal SN(n-1) are logically low, so that the eighth transistor T8 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, pulling the voltage of the second node N2 to the first reference voltage Vref1 and the voltage of the third node N3 to the second reference voltage Vref2. In addition, in the reset phase P1, the second transistor T2 is turned on in advance to prepare for the next phase P2.

如第3B圖所示,於電壓讀取與資料寫入階段P2內,補償控制信號VC(n)與第n級串列控制信號SN(n)為邏輯低,使得第八電晶體T8、第二電晶體T2、第三電晶體T3與第六電晶體T6為導通。由於第六電晶體T6為導通,將資料信號Data寫入至第一節點N1。由於第八電晶體T8為導通,將第三節點N3的電壓拉至第二參考電壓Vref2。此外,資料信號Data可透過第六電晶體T6、第二電晶體T2與第三電晶體T3而寫入至第二節點N2,但第二節點N2的電壓被箝制在N2=Data-|VTH|,其中,VTH代表第二電晶體T2的臨界電壓。亦即,在電壓讀取與資料寫入階段P2內,讓第二電晶體T2的閘極電壓(亦即第二節點N2的電壓)箝制(補償)在N2=Data-|VTH|,此外,讓資料信號Data寫入至畫素電路100內。亦可稱為在電壓讀取與資料寫入階段P2內,第一電壓讀取電路120讀取第二電晶體T2的臨界電壓VTH,以 及,資料讀取電路140將資料信號Data寫入至該微發光二極體畫素電路100內。 As shown in FIG. 3B , in the voltage reading and data writing phase P2, the compensation control signal VC(n) and the n-th stage serial control signal SN(n) are logically low, so that the eighth transistor T8, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on. Since the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, the data signal Data is written to the first node N1. Since the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, the voltage of the third node N3 is pulled to the second reference voltage Vref2. In addition, the data signal Data can be written into the second node N2 through the sixth transistor T6, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3, but the voltage of the second node N2 is clamped at N2=Data-|VTH|, where VTH represents the critical voltage of the second transistor T2. That is, in the voltage reading and data writing phase P2, the gate voltage of the second transistor T2 (that is, the voltage of the second node N2) is clamped (compensated) at N2=Data-|VTH|, and the data signal Data is written into the pixel circuit 100. It can also be said that in the voltage reading and data writing phase P2, the first voltage reading circuit 120 reads the critical voltage VTH of the second transistor T2, and the data reading circuit 140 writes the data signal Data into the micro-luminescent diode pixel circuit 100.

如第3C圖所示,於發光階段P3內,發光控制信號EM(n)為邏輯低,使得第一電晶體T1、第二電晶體T2、第四電晶體T4與第七電晶體T7為導通,電流可流經微發光二極體111以使得微發光二極體111發光。 As shown in FIG. 3C , in the light-emitting stage P3 , the light-emitting control signal EM(n) is logically low, so that the first transistor T1 , the second transistor T2 , the fourth transistor T4 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the current can flow through the micro-LED 111 to make the micro-LED 111 emit light.

細言之,進入發光階段P3後,第一節點N1的電壓為操作電壓Vdd;第三節點N3的電壓由第二參考電壓Vref2變為操作電壓Vdd。所以,在第三節點N3產生電壓變化△V=Vdd-Vref2。此電壓變化△V透過電容C1而耦合至第二節點N2,使得,第二節點N2的電壓為:N2=Data-|VTH|+(Vdd-Vref2)*C1/(C1+CTFT1),其中,CTFT1代表第一電晶體T1的寄生電容。當寄生電容CTFT1的有效電容值遠小於電容C1的電容值時,理想上,可將第二節點N2的電壓視為非常接近:N2=Data-|VTH|+(Vdd-Vref2)。 In detail, after entering the light-emitting phase P3, the voltage of the first node N1 is the operating voltage Vdd; the voltage of the third node N3 changes from the second reference voltage Vref2 to the operating voltage Vdd. Therefore, a voltage change △V=Vdd-Vref2 is generated at the third node N3. This voltage change △V is coupled to the second node N2 through the capacitor C1, so that the voltage of the second node N2 is: N2=Data-|VTH|+(Vdd-Vref2)*C1/(C1+CTFT1), where CTFT1 represents the parasitic capacitance of the first transistor T1. When the effective capacitance of the parasitic capacitor CTFT1 is much smaller than the capacitance of the capacitor C1, ideally, the voltage of the second node N2 can be considered to be very close to: N2 = Data-|VTH| + (Vdd-Vref2).

由上述可知,在本案一實施例中,第二節點N2的電壓(亦即,第二電晶體T2的閘極電壓)原則上只有受到「C1/CTFT1」的影響,故而,相較於目前技術,本案一實施例的控制較佳與補償較佳。 From the above, it can be seen that in the first embodiment of the present case, the voltage of the second node N2 (that is, the gate voltage of the second transistor T2) is only affected by "C1/CTFT1" in principle. Therefore, compared with the current technology, the first embodiment of the present case has better control and compensation.

第4A圖顯示習知技術的微發光二極體畫素電路的電壓電流曲線圖,而第4B圖顯示根據本案一實施例的微發光二極體畫素電路的電壓電流曲線圖。 FIG. 4A shows a voltage-current curve diagram of a micro-luminescent diode pixel circuit of the prior art, and FIG. 4B shows a voltage-current curve diagram of a micro-luminescent diode pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

於第4A圖與第4B圖中,「VTH+0V」、「VTH-0.5V」與「VTH+0.5V」分別代表將第二電晶體T2的臨界電壓增加0V、減少0.5V與增加0.5V;以及,「Vdd-0V」、「Vdd-0.5V」與「Vdd-1V」分別代表將操作電壓Vdd減少0V、減少0.5V與減少1V。「VTH+0V」、「VTH-0.5V」與「VTH+0.5V」乃是用於模擬當臨界電壓漂移時的情況。「Vdd-0V」、「Vdd-0.5V」與「Vdd-1V」則是用於模擬由於微LED電流所導致的電壓降,這裡的電壓降是指,在習知的微LED畫素電路中,當微LED電流流經顯示面板上的Vdd金屬走線時,會造成電壓降,使得面板上下的微LED所接收到的驅動電壓不同,造成畫面顯示均勻度不佳。 In FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , "VTH+0V", "VTH-0.5V" and "VTH+0.5V" represent increasing the critical voltage of the second transistor T2 by 0V, decreasing by 0.5V and increasing by 0.5V, respectively; and "Vdd-0V", "Vdd-0.5V" and "Vdd-1V" represent decreasing the operating voltage Vdd by 0V, decreasing by 0.5V and decreasing by 1V, respectively. "VTH+0V", "VTH-0.5V" and "VTH+0.5V" are used to simulate the situation when the critical voltage drifts. "Vdd-0V", "Vdd-0.5V" and "Vdd-1V" are used to simulate the voltage drop caused by the micro LED current. The voltage drop here refers to the voltage drop caused when the micro LED current flows through the Vdd metal trace on the display panel in the known micro LED pixel circuit, so that the micro LEDs on the upper and lower sides of the panel receive different driving voltages, resulting in poor display uniformity.

下表1與表2列出本案一實施例與習知技術的微發光二極體電流之比較。 Tables 1 and 2 below list the comparison of the current of the micro-LED of an embodiment of the present invention and the prior art.

Figure 112111483-A0305-02-0010-3

比較第4A圖與第4B圖可知,在本案一實施例中,由於△I變小了(由習知的4.7μ下降為2.7μ),即便是出現微LED電流所導致的電壓降,但本案一實施例的電流變化量較習知技術為佳。 Comparing Figure 4A and Figure 4B, it can be seen that in the first embodiment of the present invention, since △I becomes smaller (from the known 4.7μ to 2.7μ), even if there is a voltage drop caused by the micro LED current, the current change amount of the first embodiment of the present invention is better than the known technology.
