Definitions
- the invention relates to a display device comprising an electroluminescent material between a first pattern of row - or selection - electrodes and a second pattern of column - or data - electrodes, at least one of the two patterns being transparent to the radiation to be emitted, the electrodes, together with the intermediate electroluminescent material, forming part of pixels at overlap locations of said electrodes, the device comprising a drive circuit which can supply a selected pixel with a substantially constant current during use.
- Display devices of this type find an increasingly wider application in, for example, mobile telephones.
- a problem in the drive of such matrices of organic LEDs is the capacitance associated with each LED, which capacitance is formed by the overlapping electrodes and the interpositioned layer(s) of organic material, as well as the capacitance of the drive leads.
- the capacitance and the resistance of the drive leads also play a role and, due to long RC times, the desired setting level during a writing period cannot be achieved in some cases.
- a display device is characterized in that a plurality of column electrodes is capacitively coupled to an electrode which is coupled to a voltage source via a switch.
- the voltage source is suitable for supplying a voltage jump.
- the total capacitance associated with all LEDs in the relevant row can be rapidly charged in the desired direction so that the current through one (or more) LED(s) is very rapidly defined substantially exclusively by the associated current source(s).
- the voltage jump is preferably supplied directly at the start of the selection period.
- USP 5,723,950 describes a similar principle for accelerating the adjustment of the LEDs in the forward direction.
- an extra circuit is provided for each column, which circuit comprises, inter alia, an operational amplifier with associated resistors and a capacitor. This leads to an unwanted number of extra components, even when such a precharge circuit is used for a group of two or more columns.
- the drive transistor for each column must be able to supply the extra current determined by the precharge circuit; the transistors of the column driver must thus be designed for higher currents than those required for actual use. Since this usually requires extra space in the realization in an integrated circuit, these circuits become more expensive.
- Fig. 1 shows diagrammatically a display device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically a part of this display device, with reference to which the problem of initial charging is dealt with, and
- Fig. 3 shows the voltage variation on the electrode.
- Fig. 1 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a part of a display device 10 according to the invention. It comprises a matrix of (O) LEDs 14 with n rows (1, 2, ..., n) and m columns (1, 2, ..., m).
- This device further comprises a row selection circuit 15 (for example, a multiplex circuit 15 which connects the row electrodes either to ground or to a voltage V b via a drive line 30 and switches 31 in this example) and a data register 16.
- Externally presented information 17 for example a video signal, is processed in a processing unit 18 which, dependent on the information to be displayed, charges the separate parts 16-1, 16-2, ...
- the actual column conductors 12 are connected in an electrically conducting manner to the collectors 24 of the transistors 22, while the emitters 25 of these transistors are connected via resistors 26 to a fixed voltage, in this embodiment a voltage of +10 V via a voltage source 27 which is connected to ground.
- the choice of the resistors 26, which have a substantially identical resistance, and of the voltages supplied by the register 16 to the bases 23 are chosen to be such in this example that a combination of a transistor 22 and a resistor 26 can be considered to be a substantially ideal current source.
- the relevant current source can only convey current when this current can be drained via the collector.
- the voltage at a row electrode 13 must be sufficiently low.
- the relevant row selection voltages are presented by the row selection circuit 15. Mutual synchronization between the selection of the rows and the presentation of voltages on the lines 21 takes place by means of the drive unit 18 via drive lines 20, 30.
- all column electrodes can be connected to a reference voltage, in this example to ground potential 34 via switches 33, for example transistors, to be further described.
- all information for a line to be driven is first stored in the data register 16. Subsequently, the row electrode 13 associated with the line, in this example the electrode associated with line 1 is selected.
- the relevant switch 31 is connected to ground and, dependent on the voltages on the lines 21, currents will start flowing in the current sources associated with line 1 and consequently in the LEDs.
- a capacitance 32 constituted by the overlapping electrodes and the interpositioned layer(s) of organic material is associated with each LED. The effect of this capacitance will now be described with reference to Fig. 2 in which only the associated capacitances C ⁇ , C 2 ⁇ , C 3 ⁇ and C n _ ⁇ are shown for column 1. Although only the phenomena in column 1 are described, this description is representative of the events taking place in the full matrix of pixels.
- the current source described above with reference to the transistor 22 and the resistor 26 is denoted by the reference numeral 35.
- the row electrode 13 is connected to ground via switch 31.
- a voltage V b which is chosen to be such that the LEDs do not conduct at the usual currents and voltages in the current source 22 and on the columns 13 because these LEDs are reverse-biased.
- the LEDs 14 conduct, for example, from a forward voltage of, for example, about 1.5 volts. To adjust grey values, a range of forward voltages of between 1.5 and 3 volts is sufficient.
- the voltage at the column electrodes may be up to 15 volts due to, for example, resistance effects and dependent on the drive mode. At a reverse voltage of, for example 2 volts across the LEDs, a negligible leakage current occurs. In this example, 15 volts is chosen for V b .
- the current sources 35 are activated via the separate parts 16-1, 16-2, ... 16-m of the data register 16, so that these current sources start conveying current.
- the current from current source 35 in Fig. 2 is, however, mainly used for charging the capacitances C ⁇ , C 2 ⁇ , C 3 ⁇ and C nl .
- the desired voltage level is not reached within a selection period t se ⁇ and the LED emits light having the wrong intensity.
- the device 10 has an extra electrode line 36 which constitutes a plurality of capacitances 37 together with a suitable dielectric and the column electrodes 12.
- the layer of luminescent material provided with an extra dielectric may function as a dielectric.
- a voltage jump (via a pulse P) is presented from a voltage source 39 which forms part of the processing unit 18 in this example (Fig. 3).
- the voltage source 39, the pulse height of P and the capacitances 37 are dimensioned in such a way that the capacitances 32 are charged via this extra voltage pulse within a time t wl which may be considerably shorter than the selection period, and this to such an extent that the diode associated with C ⁇ almost starts conducting or almost reaches the effective range.
- this LED starts conducting and will emit the desired light level by virtue of the current adjusted by the current source 35.
- the LEDs are reverse-biased as described hereinbefore. This means that, to prevent unwanted emission in the row of LEDs which has just been switched off, but also to prevent a parasitic current, the capacitances C ⁇ , C 21 , C 3 ⁇ and C n j must be discharged at least before selection of the next row to a level at which no light is emitted.
- the LEDs are therefore short-circuited, as it were, by connecting the column electrodes to ground via a switch (transistor) 33, preferably after the pulse P has dropped off, for example, during a time t w2 (Fig. 3).
- the switches (transistors) 33 (block 40 in Fig. 1) are also driven from the processing unit (drive unit) 18 via drive lines (not shown).
- the switches (transistors) 33 may also be formed as one single switch (transistor) 33 (block 40' in Fig. 1).
- the display device of Fig. 1 further comprises a capacitor 41.
- such a capacitor if, for example, adjustable, may be used to vary the pulse P as presented to the LEDs, for example, initially because the capacitances 32, 37 are process-dependent, or during use (in the course of the lifetime of the display device) because the characteristics change due to ageing.
- An inductance (coil) 40 may also be arranged parallel to this capacitor. The resonant circuit thus obtained is then used to temporarily store energy required for switching by means of the pulses P so that the voltage source 39 needs to supply less energy.
- the pulse pattern (P) capacitively induced on a column electrode may also be presented to the two ends of the column electrode. This is notably advantageous in larger matrices because the pulses are distorted due to the capacitance and the resistance of the column electrodes. If necessary, the pulse P may be presented a little later, provided that there is sufficient time left to supply all LEDs with the desired forward voltage within t se ⁇ . Particularly when a high value of the capacitances 32 is desired, a different dielectric may alternatively be chosen such as, for example, silicon nitride.
- the capacitances 32 may also be realized as separate capacitances or formed as one integrated circuit together with the registers 15, 16, the transistors 22 and the processing unit 18. Instead of bipolar transistors 22, use may be made of MOS transistors.
- the protective scope of the invention is not limited to the embodiments described.
- the invention resides in each and every novel characteristic feature and each and every combination of characteristic features.
- Reference numerals in the claims do not limit the protective scope of a claim.
- the use of the verb "to comprise” and its conjugations does not exclude the presence of elements other than those stated in the claims.
- the use of the article “a” or “an” preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements.
