All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, a pixel circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application may include: the light emitting diode D1, the storage capacitor C, the driving transistor T, the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2, the third switching transistor T3, the fourth switching transistor T4, the fifth switching transistor T5, and the sixth switching transistor T6.
In the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1, the driving transistor T, the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2, the third switching transistor T3, the fourth switching transistor T4, the fifth switching transistor T5 and the sixth switching transistor T6 are all PMOS transistors.
The circuit connection structure of the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1 is as follows:
the source of the driving transistor T is connected to the drain of the first switching transistor T1 and the second terminal of the storage capacitor C, respectively, and the source of the first switching transistor T1 is connected to the first power supply Vdd.

The data line is used for providing a data voltage Vdata, and the initial voltage signal line is used for providing an initial voltage signal Vinit. In the embodiment of the present application, the initial voltage signal Vinit may be a negative voltage and used to initialize the gate and the drain of the driving transistor T and the anode of the light emitting diode D1.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the initial voltage signal Vinit may be a negative voltage lower than the second power supply Vss, so that when the initial voltage signal Vinit initializes the anode of the light emitting diode D1, it can be ensured that the light emitting diode D1 does not emit light. Wherein, as an alternative, the initial voltage signal Vinit may be-3V. In addition, since the embodiment of the present application can initialize the anode of the led D1, the hysteresis effect caused by the led D1 can be effectively avoided during the light emitting stage of the led D1.
In fig. 1, Em is a first scan signal provided by a first scan line, Sn is a second scan signal provided by a second scan line, and Sn-1 is a third scan signal provided by a third scan line. Wherein,
the gate of the first switching transistor T1, the gate of the second switching transistor T2, and the gate of the sixth switching transistor T6 are connected to a first scan line, and a first scan signal Em provided by the first scan line is used to control the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2, and the sixth switching transistor T6 to be in an on state or an off state. In the embodiment of the present application, when the first scan signal Em controls the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2 and the sixth switching transistor T6 to be in the on state, the light emitting diode D1 emits light.
The gate of the third switching transistor T3 is connected to the second scan line, and the second scan signal Sn provided by the second scan line is used to control the third switching transistor T3 to be in an on state or an off state.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the fourth switching transistor T4 and the fifth switching transistor T5 are controlled to be in the on state by the third scan signal Sn-1, the gate and the source of the driving transistor T and the anode of the light emitting diode D1 are initialized.
Compared with the prior art, the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the application can realize the compensation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, and specifically comprises the following steps:
applying a power supply voltage to the source electrode of the driving transistor by the first power supply, wherein the voltages of the drain electrode and the gate electrode of the driving transistor are same as Vinit, and the voltage of the source electrode of the driving transistor is reduced to Vinit + | Vth |, so that the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor contains the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor, and the current Ids flowing through the light-emitting diode in the light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit is β/2(Vgs-Vth)2And further realizing the compensation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, wherein Vinit is the initial voltage, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
In addition, during the light emitting stage of the pixel circuit, the current Ids flowing through the light emitting diode may be expressed as:
Ids＝β/2(Vgs-Vth)2＝β/2(Vdd-Vdata-Vdd-|Vth|+Vinit+|Vth|)2＝β/2(Vinit-Vdata)2
where Vdata is a data voltage, Vdd is a voltage of the first power supply Vdd, Vinit is an initial voltage, Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor T, Vgs is a gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T, and β is a constant.
As can be seen from the above equation, the current flowing through the light emitting diode is independent of the voltage of the first power source applied to the source of the driving transistor, thereby achieving compensation of the voltage drop of the first power source.
Fig. 2 is a timing diagram of a driving method of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the driving method of the pixel circuit corresponding to the timing diagram can be used to drive the pixel circuit shown in fig. 1.
The driving method of the pixel circuit corresponding to the timing diagram shown in fig. 2 may include three stages: a first stage t1, a second stage t2, and a third stage t3, wherein,
em is a first scan signal supplied to the first scan line, and may be used to control the first, second, and sixth switching transistors T1, T2, and T6 shown in fig. 1 to be in an on state or an off state, Sn is a second scan signal supplied to the second scan line, and may be used to control the third switching transistor T3 shown in fig. 1 to be in an on state or an off state, Sn-1 is a third scan signal supplied to the third scan line, and may be used to control the fourth and fifth switching transistors T4 and T5 shown in fig. 1 to be in an on state or an off state, Vdata is a data voltage supplied to the data line, and Vinit is an initial voltage supplied to the initial voltage signal line.
The driving method of the pixel circuit corresponding to the timing diagram shown in fig. 2 specifically includes:
in the first stage T1, the first scan signal Em controls the first switch transistor T1, the second switch transistor T2 and the sixth switch transistor T6 to be in an on state, the second scan signal Sn controls the third switch transistor T3 to be in an off state, the third scan signal Sn-1 controls the fourth switch transistor T4 and the fifth switch transistor T5 to be in an on state, and the initial voltage signal pulls down the gate voltage and the drain voltage of the driving transistor and pulls down the anode voltage of the light emitting diode D1, so as to initialize the gate and the drain of the driving transistor and the anode of the light emitting diode D1.
In the second stage T2, the first scan signal Em controls the first switch transistor T1, the second switch transistor T2 and the sixth switch transistor T6 to be in an off state, the second scan signal Sn controls the third switch transistor T3 to be in an on state, and the third scan signal Sn-1 controls the fourth switch transistor T4 and the fifth switch transistor T5 to be in an on state, so as to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
In the third stage T3, the first scan signal Em controls the first, second and sixth switching transistors T1, T2 and T6 to be in an on state, the second scan signal Sn controls the third switching transistor T3 to be in an off state, the third scan signal Sn-1 controls the fourth and fifth switching transistors T4 and T5 to be in an off state, current flows into the light emitting diode D1, and the light emitting diode D1 emits light.
The following detailed analysis was performed for each of the three stages:
for the first stage t 1:
since the first scan signal Em is at a low level, the second scan signal Sn is at a high level, and the third scan signal Sn-1 is at a low level, the first switching transistor T1 is in a turned-on state, the second switching transistor T2 and the fifth switching transistor T5 are in a turned-on state, the fourth switching transistor T4 and the sixth switching transistor T6 are in a turned-on state, and the third switching transistor T3 is in a turned-off state.
At this time, the first power supply Vdd applies a voltage to the source of the driving transistor T, the first power supply Vdd simultaneously applies a voltage to Vdd to the second terminal of the storage capacitor C, the initial voltage signal Vinit respectively pulls down the anode voltage of the light emitting diode D1 and the gate voltage and the drain voltage of the driving transistor T to Vinit, thereby implementing initialization of the anode of the light emitting diode D1 and the gate and drain of the driving transistor T, and simultaneously, the data signal line applies a voltage to the first terminal of the storage capacitor C through the fifth switching transistor T5, respectively pulls down the gate voltage and the drain voltage of the driving transistor T and the anode voltage of the light emitting diode D1, thereby implementing initialization of the gate and drain of the driving transistor T and the anode of the light emitting diode D1.
It should be noted that, since the led D1 has a capacitance effect and has a certain voltage, the anode of the led D1 is initialized at the first stage t1, so that the voltage of the led D1 is reduced, and further, the led D1 can emit light rapidly at the light emitting stage of the led D1, thereby effectively avoiding the hysteresis effect caused by the led D1.
For the transition phase t12 from the first phase t1 to the second phase t 2:
the first scan signal Em changes from low level to high level, the second scan signal Sn and the third scan signal Sn-1 remain unchanged, at this time, the voltage at the first end of the storage capacitor C remains Vdata, and the voltage at the second end of the storage capacitor C remains Vdd.
For the second stage t 2:
since the first scan signal Em is at a high level, the second scan signal Sn is at a low level from a high level, and the third scan signal Sn-1 is at a low level, the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2, and the sixth switching transistor T6 are turned off from an on state, the third switching transistor T3 is turned on from an off state, and the fourth switching transistor T4 and the fifth switching transistor T5 are still in an on state.
At this time, the data voltage Vdata applies a voltage to Vdata to the first end of the storage capacitor C through the fifth switching transistor T5, the source and the gate of the driving transistor T are connected, the gate and the drain of the driving transistor T have the same voltage and rapidly change to Vinit, the second end of the storage capacitor C is discharged and is reduced from the voltage Vdd to a voltage Vinit + | Vth |, and thus, compensation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T can be achieved, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T.
For the transition phase t23 from the first phase t2 to the second phase t 3:
the third scan signal Sn-1 changes from low level to high level, and the first scan signal Em and the second scan signal Sn remain unchanged, at this time, the left substrate (e.g., node a in fig. 1) of the storage capacitor C is kept away from the outside, and the voltage between the node a and the node b at the two ends of the storage capacitor C remains unchanged, that is, Va-Vb ═ Vdata-Vinit-Vth |.
For the third stage t 3:
since the first scan signal Em changes from a high level to a low level and the second scan signal Sn and the third scan signal Sn-1 remain unchanged, the first switching transistor T1, the second switching transistor T2, and the sixth switching transistor T6 change from an off state to an on state, the third switching transistor T3 changes from an on state to an off state, and the fourth switching transistor T4 and the fifth switching transistor T5 change from an on state to an off state.
At this time, the first power supply Vdd charges the second terminal of the storage capacitor C, so that the voltage of the second terminal of the storage capacitor C is changed from Vdata-Vth to Vdd, and the voltage of the first terminal of the storage capacitor C is changed from Vdata to Vdata + Vdd-Vth-Vinit according to the charge conservation principle. At this time, the current through the light emitting diode D1, that is, the current Ids through the driving transistor T, can be expressed as:
Ids＝β/2(Vgs-Vth)2＝β/2(Vdd-Vdata-Vdd-|Vth|+Vinit+|Vth|)2＝β/2(Vinit-Vdata)2
where Vdata is a data voltage, Vdd is a voltage of the first power supply Vdd, Vinit is an initial voltage, Vth is a threshold voltage of the driving transistor T, Vgs is a gate-source voltage of the driving transistor T, and β is a constant.
In specific implementation, the reference voltages of the signals may be: vdd is 4.6V, Vss is-3V, VGH (high) is 7V, VGL (low) is-7V, VREF (reference voltage) is-2V, and Vdata is-6.6V to-0.6V.
In specific implementation, the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the application is adopted. If Ids is 675nA, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T is-1V; if Ids is 658nA, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T is-1.5V; if Ids is 640nA, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T is-2V. It is understood that when the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T varies ± 0.5V, the current varies by less than 5%.
In specific implementation, the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the application is adopted. If Ids is 680nA, the voltage Vdd of the first power supply is 4.8V; if Ids is 659nA, the voltage Vdd of the first power supply is 4.6V; if Ids is 638nA, the voltage Vdd of the first power supply is 4.4V. It can be seen that when the voltage Vdd of the first power supply varies by ± 0.2V, the current varies by less than 5%.
As can be seen from the above formula, the current flowing through the light emitting diode D1 is independent of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T, and compensation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T is achieved. In addition, the current flowing through the light emitting diode D1 is independent of the voltage of the first power supply, and compensation of the voltage drop of the first power supply is achieved.
Embodiments of the present application further provide a display device, which may include a pixel circuit. The pixel circuit may include: the light-emitting diode, the storage capacitor, the driving transistor, the first switching transistor, the second switching transistor, the third switching transistor, the fourth switching transistor, the fifth switching transistor and the sixth switching transistor.
