Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, if the programming time is too short, the discharge of the storage capacitor 22 will not be complete, so that the extracted threshold voltage (the voltage of node 23) is higher than the actual value; on the other hand, if the programming time is too long, when the drive tube 21 After the threshold extraction is completed, the driving tube 21 starts to enter the sub-threshold region, and the storage capacitor 22 will continue to discharge through the driving tube 21, resulting in the extracted threshold voltage being lower than the real threshold voltage value
However, in the actual application process, when the threshold voltage of the drive tube 21 and the threshold voltage of the light emitting device OLED14 degenerate, it will be difficult to accurately determine the programming time

Abstract

A pixel circuit, a drive method based on the pixel circuit, and a display device. The pixel circuit comprises: a first capacitor (C1), a second capacitor (C2), a second transistor (T2), a third transistor (T3) and a light-emitting branch for being coupled between a first common electrode (VDD) and a second common electrode (VSS); wherein the light-emitting branch comprises a first transistor (T1), a fourth transistor (T4) and a light-emitting element (OLED) which are connected in series; a first electrode of the first transistor (T1) is coupled to a second electrode of the fourth transistor (T4), and a coupling node is a third node (C); and a control electrode of the fourth transistor (T4) is used for inputting a second scanning control signal (V EM), and the fourth transistor (T4) switches the ON/OFF state of the light-emitting branch in response to the second scanning control signal (V EM). At the programming stage, a threshold voltage of the first transistor (T1) is input to a first node (A) through the third transistor (T3) and is stored; and at the light-emitting stage, a light-emitting current for driving the light-emitting element (OLED) is generated according to information about a voltage difference across two ends of the first capacitor (C1). The pixel circuit is used for compensating for the threshold voltage shift of the first transistor (T1) and the light-emitting element (OLED).

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of display devices, in particular to a pixel circuit, a driving method thereof, and a display device. Background technique [0002] Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays have been extensively studied in recent years due to their advantages of high brightness, high luminous efficiency, wide viewing angle and low power consumption, and have been rapidly applied to a new generation of displays. The OLED display can be driven in two ways: passive matrix driving (PassiveMatrixOLED, PMOLED) and active matrix driving (ActiveMatrixOLED, AMOLED). Although the cost of passive matrix driving is low, it cannot realize high-resolution display due to crosstalk phenomenon, and the passive matrix driving current is large, which reduces the service life of OLED. In contrast, the active matrix driving method sets a different number of transistors on each pixel as a current source, which avoids crosstalk, requires less...
