The first transistor M1 controls the electric current that flows into the 7th node N7 from the 3rd power supply VVdd in response to the voltage that is provided to the 6th node N6.The aanalogvoltage at node N7 place is reacted according to electric current, and is used as data-signal and offers pixel 140.When the first control signal CS1 is provided, transistor seconds M2 will offer first node N1 from the aanalogvoltage of DAC 125.When the 3rd control signal CS3 is provided, the 3rd transistor M3 conducting, thus the 7th node N7 and first node N1 are electrically connected.So just closed the feedback loop of control N7.When the first control signal CS1 was provided, the 4th transistor M4 offered the 6th node N6 with the voltage of the 3rd power supply VVdd, thereby transistor M1 ends.When the second control signal CS2 was provided, the 5th transistor M5 offered the 7th node N7 (therefore being provided to data wire Dj) with the voltage of the 4th power supply VVss.The first inverter 127a comprises the 8th transistor M8 and the 9th transistor M9 that is connected between the 3rd power supply VVdd and the 4th power supply VVss.Thus, regulate the 8th transistor M8, regulate the 9th transistor M9 by N-MOS by P-MOS.
The end of the gate terminal of the 8th transistor M8 and the 9th transistor M9 and the first capacitor C1 all is connected to Section Point N2, and wherein, Section Point N2 is in response to the voltage that drives and is driven on first node N1.When the first control signal CS1 was provided, the 6th transistor M6 was electrically connected Section Point N2 and the 3rd node N3.The second inverter 127b comprises the tenth transistor M10 and the 11 transistor M11 that is connected between the 3rd power supply VVdd and the 4th power supply VVss.Thus, regulate the tenth transistor M10, regulate the 11 transistor M11 by N-MOS by P-MOS.
The gate terminal of the tenth transistor M10 and the 11 transistor M11 and the end of the second capacitor C2 are connected to the 4th node N4, and are driven in response to the voltage that drives on the 3rd node N3.When the first control signal CS1 was provided, the 7th transistor M7 was electrically connected the 4th node N4 and the 5th node N5.
Fig. 5 is the sequential chart that is illustrated in DAC signal Vga, control signal CS1, CS2 and the CS3 of the buffer that is used for Fig. 4 during driving time section T1, T2, T3, the T4.As shown, in driving time section T1, the first control signal CS1 and the second control signal CS2 are provided.Therefore, in driving time section T1, transistor seconds M2, the 6th transistor M6, the 7th transistor M7, the 4th transistor M4 and the 5th all conductings of transistor M5.Along with transistor M6 conducting, the first inverter 127a will provide voltage to Section Point N2 and the 3rd node N3.The voltage that provides will be the level between the voltage level of the voltage level of the 4th power supply VVss and the 3rd power supply VVdd.Equally, along with transistor M7 conducting, the second inverter 127b will similarly provide voltage to the 4th node N4 and the 5th node N5, and wherein, the voltage that provides will have voltage level on the 4th power supply VVss and the level between the voltage level on the 3rd power supply VVdd.Along with transistor seconds M2 conducting, aanalogvoltage Vga is provided to first node N1 from DAC 125.Therefore, with the voltage at aanalogvoltage Vga and Section Point N2 place between poor corresponding store voltages at the first capacitor C1 two ends.
In addition, be identical all the time because be provided to the voltage of Section Point N2, depend on aanalogvoltage Vga so be stored in the voltage at the first capacitor C1 two ends.Along with the 4th transistor M4 conducting, the voltage of the 3rd power supply VVdd is provided to the 6th node N6, thereby the first transistor M1 ends.In addition, voltage on the 5th node N5 and the difference between the voltage on the 6th node N6 are stored in the 3rd capacitor C3 two ends.
Then, in the second driving time section T2, the first control signal CS1 stops.Therefore, in the second driving time section T2, transistor seconds M2, the 6th transistor M6, the 7th transistor M7 and the 4th transistor M4 end.What note is that at the end of the second driving time section T2, the voltage at first node N1 to the five node N5 places makes that the voltage at the 6th node N6 place is identical with the 3rd source voltage VVdd.Therefore, at the end of the second driving time section T2, the first transistor M1 ends.
In the 3rd driving time section T3, the 3rd control signal CS3 is provided.Therefore, the 3rd transistor M3 conducting in the 3rd driving time section, thus the 7th node N7 is electrically connected to first node N1.Because the 7th node N7 is driven to the 4th power supply VVss by the 5th transistor M5, so in the 3rd driving time section T3, first node N1 will drive from the value Vga of the second driving time section and be VVss.When the voltage of first node N1 is reduced to VVss, because the first capacitor C1 causes the magnitude of voltage at Section Point N2 place similarly to reduce.Because the amount in the pressure drop at first node N1 place depends on aanalogvoltage Vga, so the pressure drop at Section Point N2 place also will similarly be depended on aanalogvoltage Vga.
Because Section Point N2 is the input of the first inverter 127a, so when the voltage at Section Point N2 place reduces, the output of first inverter at the 3rd node N3 place will increase.Owing to the second capacitor C2 makes the voltage at the 4th node N4 place to increase according to the increase of the 3rd node N3 place voltage.Because the 4th node N4 is the input of the second inverter 127b, so when the voltage at the 4th node N4 place increases, will reduce in the output of the second inverter 127b at the 5th node N5 place.Because the 6th node N6 will be capacitively coupled to the 5th node N5, so when the voltage at the 5th node N5 place reduced, the voltage at the 6th node N6 place reduced similarly.
Because the voltage at the 6th node N6 place is the grid voltage of the first transistor M1, so when the 6th voltages at nodes reduced, the first transistor conducting also began conduct current the 7th node N7.Yet, because the 5th still conducting of transistor M5, so the voltage at the 7th node N7 place does not change basically.What note is, at the end of the 3rd driving time section T3, the voltage at first node N1 to the five node N5 places makes the voltage at the 6th node N6 place less than the 3rd supply voltage VVdd.Therefore, at the end of the 3rd driving time section T3, the first transistor M1 conducting.
Then, in the moving time period T4 of 4 wheel driven,, ends control signal CS2 thereby stopping the 5th transistor M5.The voltage at the 7th node N7 place rises according to the electric current that the first transistor M1 provides.Because the 7th voltages at nodes is fed back to the first inverter 127a and the second inverter 127b by the 3rd transistor M3 and the first capacitor C1, thus the voltage at the 6th node N6 place of the input of the first transistor M1 be subjected to the 7th node N7 on the influence of up voltage.The affected form of the 6th voltages at nodes is that the voltage that the 7th node N7 place increases causes the voltage at the 6th node N6 place to rise.The voltage at the 7th node N7 and the 6th node N6 place will continue to rise, and M1 ends up to the first transistor.The voltage that this situation will occur in the 7th node N7 place has risen to the voltage that is enough to make first node N1 to the six node N6 places and has got back to these voltages when the value that the end of the second driving time section T2 has.Recall the end at the second driving time section T2, the voltage at the 6th node N6 place equals the value of power supply VVdd, and therefore the first transistor M1 ends.When the voltage at the 7th node N7 place rises and when therefore the voltage at first node N1 place had risen to the voltage that equals at the first node N1 place of the end of the second driving time section T2, this thing happens once more for the general.Recall the end in the second driving time section, the magnitude of voltage at first node N1 place is aanalogvoltage Vga.Therefore, in the moving time period, buffer will not have transistor threshold voltage to fall with aanalogvoltage Vga driving data lines Dj at 4 wheel driven, thereby relevant pixel 140 will be according to voltage is next luminous accurately.
Fig. 6 is illustrated in the transformation of second, third and 4 wheel driven Section Point N2, the 4th node N4 and the 6th node N6 in the moving time period.As mentioned above, at the end of the second driving time section, the voltage of Section Point N2 has the value that depends on the first inverter 127a, and wherein, the input and output of the first inverter 127a are by the 6th transistor M6 short circuit.Equally, the voltage at the 4th node N4 place has the value that depends on the second inverter 127b, and wherein, the input and output of the second inverter 127b are by the 7th transistor M7 short circuit.Because the 6th node N6 is shorted to power supply VVdd by the 4th transistor M4 in the first driving time section T1, the voltage at the 6th node N6 place has the value that equals power supply VVdd.
In the 3rd driving time section T3, the voltage at Section Point N2, the 4th node N4 and the 6th node N6 place changes according to first group shown in Fig. 6.The voltage at Section Point N2 place has reduced the amount of V1, and V1 is based on aanalogvoltage Vga.The voltage at the 4th node N4 place is based on the increase of the voltage at the 3rd node N3 place and increase, and the increase of the voltage at the 3rd node N3 place is based on the reduction of the voltage at Section Point N2 place and the gain of the first inverter 127a.What note is, the amount that the amount of the voltage increase at the 4th node N4 place reduces greater than the voltage at Section Point N2 place.This is that gain owing to the first inverter 127a causes.The voltage at the 6th node N6 place being based on the reducing of voltage at the 5th node N5 place and reduce, the reducing based on the increase of the voltage at the 4th node N4 place and the gain of the second inverter 127b of the voltage at the 5th node N5 place.What note is that the amount that the voltage at the 6th node N6 place reduces is greater than the amount of the voltage increase at the 4th node N4 place.This is because the gain of the second inverter 127b causes.
In the moving time period T4 of 4 wheel driven, as mentioned above, the Voltage Feedback at the 7th node N7 place is to first node N1.The voltage that rises in the 7th node N7 place causes the voltage at first node N1 place to rise.Because the coupling capacitor between first node and Section Point is so the last up voltage at first node N1 place causes the voltage at Section Point N2 place also to rise.Because the first inverter 127a is so the last up voltage at Section Point N2 place causes the voltage at the 3rd node N3 place to reduce.Because the coupling capacitor between the 3rd node and the 4th node, thus the voltage at the 3rd node N3 place reduce cause the voltage at the 4th node N4 place also to reduce.Because the second inverter 127b, so the voltage increase that reduces to cause the 5th node N5 place of the voltage at the 4th node N4 place.Because the coupling capacitor between the 5th node and the 6th node, so the voltage of the increase at the 5th node N5 place causes the voltage at the 6th node N6 place to increase.As mentioned above, in case the voltage at the 6th node N6 place increases to VVdd, the first transistor just will stop to the 7th node N7 drive current, and therefore the voltage at the 7th node N7 place will stop to rise.As shown in Figure 6, this situation occurs in Section Point, the 4th node and the 6th voltages at nodes and all turns back to these nodes when the magnitude of voltage that the end of the second driving time section has.
Therefore, no matter transistorized threshold voltage how, can be provided to data wire Dj by buffer 127 from the Vga of aanalogvoltage accurately of DAC 125.A favourable aspect of this buffer is that because the accuracy of output, this buffer can be applicable to undoubtedly to have in the high-resolution big display.Therefore, because the gain of two inverters, so the voltage that the grid place of the first transistor presents is the amplification form of aanalogvoltage Vga.This has caused the operation of buffer faster.In certain embodiments, can realize gain with other circuit structure.On the other hand, in certain embodiments, it is optional to gain, and the circuit between first node N1 and the 5th node N5 can be substituted by other single substantially gain circuitry of lead or some.
Fig. 7 shows the detailed schematic circuit according to the structure of the buffer of another exemplary embodiment.The difference of embodiment shown in this embodiment and Fig. 4 is to have added the tenth two-transistor M12 and the 13 transistor M13, the tenth two-transistor M12 is connected between the first inverter 127a and the 3rd power supply VVdd, and the 13 transistor M13 is connected between the second inverter 127b and the 4th power supply VVss.The tenth two-transistor M12 has different conductivity with the 13 transistor M13.That is, the tenth two-transistor M12 is a PMOS transistor and the 13 transistor M13 is a nmos pass transistor.First inverter and second inverter operated with the input and output between VVss and the VVdd can consume too much power.The tenth two-transistor and the 13 transistor only can be worked first inverter and second inverter when buffer uses first inverter and second inverter to change the buffering output level, as described below.
When the 4th control signal CS4 is provided, the tenth two-transistor M12 conducting.The result makes the voltage of tertiary voltage VVdd be provided to the first inverter 127a, thereby the first inverter 127a starts.
When the 5th control signal CS5 is provided, the 13 transistor M13 conducting.The result makes the voltage of the 4th voltage VVss be provided to the second inverter 127b, thereby the second inverter 127b starts.
With reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the operation of buffer will be explained.As shown in Figure 8, before the first driving time section T1, the first control signal CS1, the second control signal CS2, the 3rd control signal CS3, the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 are invalid.What note is, because the first control signal CS1, the 3rd control signal CS3 and the 4th control signal CS4 are used to drive the PMOS transistor, so they are effective when low, because the second control signal CS2 and the 5th control signal CS5 are used for the driving N MOS transistor, so they are effective when being high.From the moving time period T4 of first driving time section T1 to the 4 wheel driven, the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 are effective.Therefore, from the incipient stage of the moving time period T4 of first driving time section T1 to the 4 wheel driven, the first inverter 127a and the second inverter 127b work.In these time periods, the first control signal CS1 to the, three control signal CS3 drive in the mode identical with the corresponding signal of reference Fig. 4 discussion.Equally, the operation of buffer is identical with the operation of the buffer of discussing with reference to Fig. 4.Yet, attention be, in the 4th time period T4, in case the voltage at the 6th node N6 place is in VVdd, the first transistor M1 ends, thus first inverter and second inverter do not need work.If their idle words just can be saved the power that they consume.Therefore, after after a while, the 4th control signal CS4 becomes disarmed state at the 4th time period T4, thereby the first inverter 127a does not work.Equally, the 5th control signal CS5 becomes disarmed state, and the second inverter 127b does not work.What note is, it is VVdd at least that this circuit is configured to keep the voltage at the 6th node N6 place when first inverter and second inverter are not worked.
Also can use other control signal drive scheme, such as the drive scheme of describing among Fig. 9 A to Fig. 9 C.Fig. 9 A shows at the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 and makes first inverter and the sequential chart of second inverter under the situation that the whole first driving time Duan Zhidi 4 wheel driven was all worked in the moving time period.Equally, Fig. 9 B is illustrated in the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 and makes first inverter and second inverter at the first driving time Duan Zhidi 4 wheel driven in the most of the time of moving time period rather than the sequential chart under the situation of working in the All Time.
Fig. 9 C shows the drive scheme of another type.In this scheme, the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 work first inverter and second inverter constantly.Yet, select the voltage at the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 place, so that limited amount electric current flows into inverter, rather than make the voltage at the 4th control signal CS4 and the 5th control signal CS5 place be substantially equal in the 3rd power source voltage or the 4th power source voltage one.By this way, inverter is operated operation all the time, but with limited current practice to save power.
As mentioned above, no matter transistorized threshold voltage is how, buffer and have utilization and can provide aanalogvoltage accurately according to the organic light emitting display of the data drive circuit of the buffer of exemplary embodiment of the present invention.Because how this buffer can both provide grayscale voltage (gradation voltage) accurately regardless of transistorized threshold voltage,, this buffer has large tracts of land and high-resolution panel so can advantageously driving.In addition, because provide enable voltage to make inverter only when being used to change the buffer output voltage, just work selectively, so can reduce power consumption.
Though above description has been pointed out as being applied to the novel characteristics of the present invention of various embodiment, but the technical staff should be appreciated that, without departing from the scope of the invention, can be to making various combinations, omission, replacement and change on the form of described device or process and the details.Therefore, scope of the present invention is defined by the claims rather than is limited by the description of front.Falling into the implication of claim equivalent and the various variations in the scope comprises within the scope of the claims.
