[0004] However, the existing multi-pulse driving method also causes uneven display of the display panel, that is, abnormal display brightness occurs in some areas of the display panel, for example, abnormal display brightness occurs in areas close to the upper edge or lower edge of the display panel. Summary of the invention

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0041] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0042] As described in the background technology, in the existing organic light-emitting diode display technology, multi-pulse driving is used as a commonly used driving method, wherein the driving circuit can receive a clock signal and control the clock signal to be output as a driving signal. During the display time of a frame of picture, the driving signal includes multiple valid pulses, and the driving circuit can output the clock signal as the driving signal in multiple time periods.
[0043] During the display time of a frame, the driving circuit can output multiple driving signals, and the effective time of effective pulses of different driving signals may overlap, that is, the driving circuit can control a clock signal to be output as multiple driving signals in a certain period, which will cause the load of the clock line transmitting the clock signal to be larger. During different periods of the display time of a frame, the number of driving signals with overlapping effective time may be different, that is, the load of the clock line may also be different. When the load of the clock line changes, it will affect the signal delay when the driving circuit outputs the driving signal, causing the jump speed of the voltage edge of the driving signal to change. When the jump speed of the voltage edge of the driving signal is too fast, the coupling effect on some nodes in the pixel circuit will also be more obvious, which will cause the driving current provided by the pixel circuit to the organic light emitting diode to be too large or too small, causing the display panel to display unevenly.
[0044] To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, comprising: a driving circuit, a plurality of pixels arranged in an array, a plurality of first scan lines and a plurality of clock lines; at least part of the pixels located in the same row are electrically connected to the same first scan line; the driving circuit is electrically connected to each first scan line respectively; the driving circuit comprises N cascaded first shift register units; the clock line is electrically connected to the plurality of first shift register units; the first shift register unit is used to at least receive an input signal and a clock signal on the clock line, and control the clock signal of the clock line to be provided to the first scan line as a first scan signal; the effective time of the first scan signals of at least part of the first shift register units connected to the same clock line overlaps; the process of the clock signal jumping from an invalid level to a valid level is a first voltage edge, and the process of the clock signal jumping from a valid level to an invalid level is a second voltage edge; in at least part of the display time of a frame of picture, the jumping time length of the second voltage edge of the clock signal is greater than or equal to the second preset time length.
[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the transition time of the second voltage edge of the clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time during at least a part of the display time of a frame of picture, the transition speed of the second voltage edge of the clock signal can be reduced, so that the process of the first scanning signal jumping from the effective level to the invalid level is slower. When there is parasitic capacitance in the pixel, the coupling effect of the first scanning signal on the node in the pixel is smaller. In this way, when the load on the clock line transmitting the clock signal fluctuates, especially when the load decreases, it can be ensured that the coupling effect of the first scanning signal on the node will not significantly change the potential of the node, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the node in the pixel, thereby effectively improving the display unevenness problem caused by the load change of the clock line during part of the display time of a frame of picture.
[0046] The above is the core idea of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0047] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 The display panel 01 includes a driving circuit 20, a plurality of pixels P arranged in an array, a plurality of first scanning lines and a plurality of clock lines CL; at least part of the pixels P in the same row are electrically connected to the same first scanning line SL1; the driving circuit 20 is electrically connected to each clock line CL and each first scanning line SL1 respectively.
[0048] Figure 2 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of a driving circuit, with reference to Figure 2 The driving circuit 20 includes a first shift register 21, and the first shift register 21 includes N cascaded first shift register units 22, and the first shift register unit 22 is electrically connected to the first scan line SL1. The clock line CL is electrically connected to the plurality of first shift register units 22; the i-th first shift register unit 22 is used to at least receive an input signal and a clock signal (CK1, XCK1) on the clock line CL, and control the clock signal (CK1 or XCK1) of the clock line CL to be provided to the first scan line SL1 as a first scan signal Scan1(i), wherein i is a positive integer less than or equal to N.
[0049] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the effective time of the first scan signal Scan1 of at least part of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL overlaps; the process of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) jumping from the invalid level to the valid level is the first voltage edge J1, and the process of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) jumping from the valid level to the invalid level is the second voltage edge J2. During at least part of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the jumping time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) is greater than or equal to the second preset time length.
[0050] Among them, the second preset duration can be the shortest jump duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) during the display time DF of a frame of picture. In some time periods of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the jump duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be greater than the jump duration of the second voltage edge J2 in other time periods. Alternatively, the second preset time length may also be the conventional transition time length of the second voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art. For example, if the conventional transition time length of the second voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art is 600ns, then the second preset time length may be 600ns; if the conventional transition time length of the second voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art is 500-600ns, then the second preset time length may be 500-600ns. In an optional embodiment, during at least part of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) may be 600-700ns.
[0051] For example, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first shift register unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first shift register unit 22 can receive the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal XCK1, the first level signal VGH and the second level signal VGL, and the first shift register unit 22 may include eight transistors (MS1, MS2, MS3, MS4, MS5, MS6, MS7, MS8) and two capacitors (CS1, CS2). In an optional embodiment, the clock cycle of the first clock signal CK1 is the same as that of the second clock signal XCK1; at least part of the time within the same clock cycle, the polarity of the first clock signal CK1 is opposite to that of the second clock signal XCK1.
[0052] The first-stage first shift register unit 22 may receive the first initial signal STV1 as an input signal, and the subsequent-stage first shift register unit 22 may receive the first scan signal Scan1 output by the previous-stage first shift register unit 22 as an input signal.
[0053] For the odd-numbered first shift register unit 22, when the input signal and the first clock signal CK1 are both at valid levels, the first shift register unit 22 is turned on, and the period when the input signal is at a valid level and the first clock signal CK1 is also at a valid level, and the period after that when the input signal is at an invalid level and the first clock signal CK1 is also at an invalid level are the on-periods of the first shift register unit 22. During the on-period, the first shift register unit 22 can output a valid pulse of the second clock signal XCK1 as a valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1.
[0054] For the first shift register unit 22 of the even-numbered stage, when the input signal and the second clock signal XCK1 are both at the valid level, the first shift register unit 22 is turned on, and the period when the input signal is at the valid level and the second clock signal XCK1 is also at the valid level, and the period after that when the input signal is at the invalid level and the second clock signal XCK1 is also at the invalid level are the on-period of the first shift register unit 22. During the on-period, the first shift register unit 22 can output the valid pulse of the first clock signal CK1 as the valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1.
[0055] It should be noted that the effective level of the first clock signal CK1 and the second clock signal XCK1 can be a high level or a low level. When the transistor is an N-type transistor, the effective level is a high level and the ineffective level is a low level; and when the transistor is a P-type transistor, the effective level is a low level and the ineffective level is a high level. For the convenience of description, unless otherwise specified, the embodiment of the present invention takes the case where the transistors in the first shift register unit 22 are all P-type transistors and the effective levels are all low levels as an example to exemplarily illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] When the first initial signal STV1 includes a plurality of valid pulses, the first shift register unit 22 includes a plurality of on periods, that is, the first shift register unit 22 can output a plurality of valid pulses of the second clock signal XCK1 or the first clock signal CK1 as a plurality of valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1.
[0057] Taking the first shift register 21 being electrically connected to the two clock lines CL, and the first shift register unit 22 being able to output two valid pulses of the first scanning signal Scan1 during the display time DF of one frame as an example, Figure 1-Figure 3 For the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of the first two stages, the second valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i) may overlap with the first valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i+2); for the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of the last two stages, the first valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i) may overlap with the second valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i-2); for the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of other stages, the first valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i) may overlap with the second valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i-2), and the second valid pulse may overlap with the first valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i+2).
[0058] According to the above content, the first scanning signals Scan1 with overlapping effective times all come from the first shift register units 22 of odd-numbered stages, or all come from the first shift register units 22 of even-numbered stages, and the effective pulses of the first scanning signals Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 of odd-numbered stages all come from the second clock signal XCK1, and the effective pulses of the first scanning signals Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 of even-numbered stages all come from the first clock signal CK1. In a part of the display time DF of a frame of picture, for example, the FT0' period, the effective time of the first scanning signal Scan1 exists Overlapping, a large number of first shift register units 22 that simultaneously control the same clock signal (CK1 or XCK1) as the first scanning signal Scan1 will cause a large load on the clock line CL that transmits the second clock signal XCK1 or the first clock signal CK1, resulting in a large signal delay when the first shift register unit 22 controls the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) to be output as the first scanning signal Scan1, causing a slow level jump process of the first scanning signal Scan1 and a less obvious coupling effect on some nodes in the pixel P, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the nodes in the pixel P.
[0059] For the case where the effective time of the first scanning signal Scan1 does not overlap, such as the FT1' period and the FT2' period, the number of the first shift register units 22 that control the same clock signal (CK1, XCK1) as the first scanning signal Scan1 is small, so that the load of the clock line CL that transmits the second clock signal XCK1 or the first clock signal CK1 is small, resulting in less signal delay when the first shift register unit 22 controls the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) to be output as the first scanning signal Scan1. At least in the FT1' period and the FT2' period, the transition time of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) is increased so that the transition time of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) is greater than or equal to the second preset time. This can reduce the transition speed of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1). In this way, even if the load on the clock line CL is reduced and the signal delay is less, the process of the first scanning signal Scan1 jumping from the valid level to the invalid level can be slower, which can reduce the coupling effect of the first scanning signal Scan1 on the node, and is beneficial to balancing the transition speed of each first scanning signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL in the display time DF of a frame of the picture, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0060] Among them, the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be directly provided by a driving chip (not shown in the figure) or a clock controller (not shown in the figure). When the load connected to the clock line CL for transmitting the clock signal (CK1 or XCK1) is large, it will affect the signal delay in the process of the first shift register unit 22 providing the clock signal (CK1 or XCK1) as the first scan signal Scan1 (i) to the first scan line SL1, resulting in a large signal delay, resulting in a reduced level jump speed of the first scan signal Scan1 (i), but the level jump speed of the transmission clock signal (CK1 or XCK1) itself is less affected. Therefore, in some time periods, when the jump duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) is set to be less than the second preset duration, the jump of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be faster, but affected by the load connected to the clock line CL for transmitting the clock signal (CK1 or XCK1), the level jump speed of the first scan signal Scan1 (i) may be slower.
[0061] The first scanning signal Scan1 can control the switch device in the pixel P. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is at an effective level, it can transmit initialization signals, data signals, compensation signals, reset signals, bias signals and other signals to the pixel P to change the potential of the node. Even if the process of the first scanning signal Scan1 jumping from an invalid level to an effective level has a coupling effect on the node, when the first scanning signal Scan1 jumps to an effective level, the node will be rewritten with the corresponding signal. Therefore, the process of the first scanning signal Scan1 jumping from an invalid level to an effective level has little effect on the potential of the node. Only by setting the jumping time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time length in at least part of the time period, and improving the process of the first scanning signal Scan1 jumping from an effective level to an invalid level, the display unevenness problem can be improved.
[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the transition time of the second voltage edge of the clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time during at least a portion of the display time of a frame of picture, the transition speed of the second voltage edge of the clock signal can be reduced, so that the process of the first scanning signal jumping from the effective level to the invalid level is slower. When parasitic capacitance exists in the pixel, the coupling effect of the first scanning signal on the node in the pixel is smaller. In this way, when the load on the clock line transmitting the clock signal fluctuates, especially when the load decreases, it can be ensured that the coupling effect of the first scanning signal on the node will not significantly change the potential of the node, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the node in the pixel, thereby effectively improving the display unevenness problem caused by the load change of the clock line during a portion of the display time of a frame of picture.
[0063] In an optional embodiment, the second preset time length may be greater than or equal to 600 ns and less than or equal to 700 ns.
[0064] Exemplarily, during at least part of the display time DF of a frame, the transition duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal may be the second preset duration plus 50-100ns, or the transition duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal may be 650-800ns.
[0065] In yet another optional embodiment, the second preset duration is greater than or equal to 26% of the duration of the effective level of the clock signal, and less than or equal to 30% of the duration of the effective level of the clock signal.
[0066] Among them, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit how to determine the duration of the effective level. In an optional implementation, the duration of the effective level can be determined by amplifying the waveform and manually or automatically obtaining the duration that the potential of the clock signal is within ±5% of the effective level.
[0067] For example, the duration of the effective level of a general clock signal may be about 2300ns, 26% of 2300ns is about 600ns, and 30% of 2300ns is about 700ns, that is, the second preset duration may be greater than or equal to 600ns and less than or equal to 700ns. However, the duration of the effective level of the clock signal is not limited to 2300ns. For example, when the duration of the effective level of the clock signal is about 3000ns, the second preset duration may be greater than or equal to 780ns and less than or equal to 900ns.
[0068] In yet another optional embodiment, during at least a portion of the display time of a frame of picture, the thrust of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is less than the second preset thrust.
[0069] The thrust of the second voltage along J2 may refer to the output power or charging current of a driver chip (not shown in the figure) or a clock controller (not shown in the figure) that provides the clock signal when the clock signal jumps from a valid level to an invalid level. The greater the thrust of the second voltage along J2, the greater the load that the clock line CL that transmits the clock signal can bear, and the smaller the signal delay caused by the load; the smaller the thrust of the second voltage along J2, the smaller the load that the clock line CL that transmits the clock signal can bear, and the greater the signal delay caused by the load.
[0070] The second preset thrust may be the maximum thrust of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal during the display time DF of a frame. During a portion of the display time DF of a frame, the thrust of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) may be less than the thrust of the second voltage edge J2 in other periods. Alternatively, the second preset thrust may also be the conventional thrust of the second voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art. In an optional embodiment, the second preset thrust may also be the thrust of the first initial signal STV1 received by the first-stage first shift register unit.
[0071] By reducing the thrust of the second voltage of the clock signal along J2 in at least a part of the display time of a frame of picture, the thrust of the second voltage of the clock signal along J2 is made less than the second preset thrust, and the signal delay is larger. Under the same load, the speed at which the first scanning signal Scan1 jumps from the effective level to the invalid level can be reduced, thereby avoiding that the load of the clock line CL is reduced in part of the time period, and the parasitic capacitance coupling caused by the excessively fast jump of the first scanning signal Scan1 affects the potential of the node in the pixel, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the node in the pixel, thereby effectively improving the display unevenness problem caused by the load change of the clock line in part of the display time of a frame of picture.
[0072] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , during at least a portion of the display time DF of a frame, the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) includes at least two second sub-voltage edges J02;
[0073] Among them, the second sub-voltage edge J02 is the process of the clock signal jumping from the first sub-level to the second sub-level; the first sub-level and / or the second sub-level is between the invalid level and the valid level; the absolute value of the difference between the first sub-level and the valid level is smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the second sub-level and the valid level; the absolute value of the difference between the second sub-level and the invalid level is smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the first sub-level and the invalid level.
[0074] Specifically, the second voltage edge is divided into a plurality of second sub-voltage edges J02, and the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be jumped in steps from the effective level to the invalid level. When the effective level is a low level, the first sub-level is less than the second sub-level, wherein the first sub-level is greater than or equal to the effective level, the second sub-level is less than or equal to the invalid level, but the two are not equal at the same time, and at least one is between the effective level and the invalid level; when the effective level is a high level, the first sub-level is greater than the second sub-level, wherein the first sub-level is less than or equal to the effective level, the second sub-level is greater than or equal to the invalid level, but the two are not equal at the same time, and at least one is between the effective level and the invalid level. By setting the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) to jump from the effective level to the invalid level in steps, the jumping time of the second voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be increased, and the parasitic capacitance coupling caused by the signal jumping too fast can be reduced to improve the problem of uneven display.
[0075] In yet another optional embodiment, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Figure 5 , during at least a portion of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the transition time length of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) is greater than or equal to the first preset time length.
[0076] Among them, the first preset duration can be the shortest jump duration of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) during the display time DF of a frame of picture. In some time periods of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the jump duration of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) can be greater than the jump duration of the first voltage edge J1 in other time periods. Alternatively, the first preset time length may also be the conventional transition time length of the first voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art. For example, if the conventional transition time length of the first voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art is 600ns, then the first preset time length may be 600ns; if the conventional transition time length of the first voltage edge of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) in the prior art is 500-600ns, then the first preset time length may be 500-600ns. In an optional embodiment, during at least part of the display time DF of a frame of picture, the transition time length of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) may be 600-650ns.
[0077] By setting the transition time of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal to be greater than or equal to the first preset time during at least part of the display time DF of a frame of image, on the one hand, the transition speed of the first scanning signal Scan1 from an invalid level to a valid level can be reduced, so that the load on the clock line CL transmitting the clock signal fluctuates, especially when the load decreases, the coupling effect on the node in the pixel P can be reduced, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the node in the pixel P and improves the problem of uneven display; on the other hand, in at least part of the time period, increasing the transition time of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal can reduce the thrust of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal, which is beneficial to reducing the power consumption of the display panel 01.
[0078] Based on the above embodiment, the first preset time length is shorter than the second preset time length.
[0079] Specifically, in at least part of the display time DF of a frame, the transition time of the first voltage edge J1 of the clock signal is less than or equal to the transition time of the second voltage edge J2. Under the premise of not affecting the display effect, by setting a shorter transition time of the first voltage edge J1, it is beneficial to increase the effective time of the clock signal, thereby increasing the effective time of the effective pulse of the first scanning signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the signal.
[0080] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel 01 includes a first pixel row PR1 and a second pixel row PR2 alternately arranged along a second direction Y. The adjacent first pixel row PR1 and second pixel row PR2 form a pixel row group. The pixels P in the same pixel row group can receive the same first pixel Scan1.
[0081] Exemplarily, the first scanning signal Scan1 can control the switch device in the pixel P. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is at an effective level, the same initialization signal, the same compensation signal, the same reset signal or the same bias signal can be simultaneously transmitted to each pixel P in the same pixel row group; or, when the first scanning signal Scan1 is at an effective level, different data signals can also be transmitted to each pixel P in the same pixel row group. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is used to control the switch device used to transmit the data signal in the pixel P, each column of pixels P can be electrically connected to two data lines DL, wherein one data line DL is used to transmit the data signal of the pixel P in the first pixel row PR1 of the column, and the other data line DL is used to transmit the data signal of the pixel P in the second pixel row PR2 of the column.
[0082] By setting the pixels P of the same pixel row group to receive the same first pixel Scan1, on the one hand, the effective time of the first scanning signal Scan1 can be increased, thereby increasing the time for writing the signal to the pixel P when the switching device is turned on, so as to ensure that the signal can be accurately written to the pixel P, which is beneficial to improving the charging rate of the signal and realizing high-frequency driving; on the other hand, the number of first scanning signals Scan1 required in the display panel can be reduced, that is, the number of first shift register units 22 in the first shift register 21 can be reduced. In this way, the number of first shift registers 21 electrically connected to the clock line CL can be significantly reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the load and realizing high-resolution driving.
[0083] Optionally, during the display time of one frame of image, the first scan signal includes a data write pulse and at least one virtual write pulse; the data write pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i) output by some first shift register units overlaps with the virtual write pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(j) output by other first shift register units, and i and j are both positive integers less than or equal to N, and i≠j.
[0084] Specifically, the first scan signal can be used to control the switch device used to transmit the data signal in the pixel. During the display time of a frame of the picture, the first shift register unit can output at least two valid pulses of the first scan signal, one of which is a data write pulse, and the other valid pulses are virtual write pulses. During the effective time of the data write pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(i), the driving transistors of some pixels can write data signals corresponding to the grayscale, such as the data signal of the current row, so that the light-emitting elements in the pixels can display the corresponding grayscale; during the virtual write pulse stage of the first scan signal Scan1(i), the driving transistors of some pixels can write data signals that do not correspond to the grayscale, such as the data signals of other rows, and the data signals written by the pixels before can be cleared, thereby avoiding the driving transistor in the pixel from being in a certain state for a long time, affecting the performance of the driving transistor. In an optional embodiment, there is no need to set up an additional bias transistor, nor is there a need to set up an additional bias signal and bias control signal, which is conducive to reducing the pixel size and improving the resolution.
[0085] In the display time of one frame, the virtual write pulse of the same first scan signal may be located before the data write pulse or after the data write pulse, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0086] Exemplarily, the pixel P includes a pixel circuit 11 and a light emitting element LED, wherein the pixel circuit 11 can be any combination known in the art, for example, the pixel circuit 11 can be a typical 2T1C circuit, such as Figure 7 Alternatively, the pixel circuit 11 may also be a typical 7T1C circuit, such as Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the pixel circuit 11 may include a first light emission control transistor M1, an initialization transistor M4, a compensation transistor M5, a second light emission control transistor M6, a reset transistor M7, a write transistor M2, a drive transistor M3 and a storage capacitor C.
[0087] The pixel circuit 11 is Figure 8 Take the 7T1C circuit shown as an example. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the pixel circuits 11 arranged in rows along the first direction X can be electrically connected to the same first scan line SL1, and the i-th first scan line SL1 can transmit the first scan signal Scan1(i) to the pixel circuit 11 in the i-th row to control the write transistor M2 and the compensation transistor M5 of the pixel circuit 11 in the i-th row. The display panel 01 also includes a plurality of data lines DL, and the pixel circuits 11 arranged in columns along the second direction Y can be electrically connected to the same data line DL, wherein the second direction Y intersects the first direction X. When the first scan signal Scan1(i) transmitted by the i-th first scan line SL1 is at an effective level, the plurality of data lines DL can transmit data signals data to the pixel circuits 11 located in the i-th row and different columns.
[0088] The display panel 01 may further include a plurality of second scan lines SL2 and a plurality of light-emitting control lines EL, and the driving circuit 20 may further include a second shift register and a third shift register (not shown in the figure), wherein the second shift register includes N second shift register units connected in cascade, and the third shift register includes N third shift register units connected in cascade, the second shift register unit is electrically connected to the second scan line SL2, and the third shift register unit is electrically connected to the light-emitting control line EL (not shown in the figure). The pixel circuits 11 arranged in rows along the first direction X may be electrically connected to the same second scan line SL2 and the same light-emitting control line EL. The i-th second scan line SL2 may transmit a second scan signal Scan2(i) to the i-th row pixel circuit 11 to control the initialization transistor M4 and the reset transistor M7 of the i-th row pixel circuit 11; the i-th light-emitting control line EL may transmit a light-emitting control signal Emit(i) to the i-th row pixel circuit 11 to control the first light-emitting control transistor M1 and the second light-emitting control transistor M6 of the i-th row pixel circuit 11.
[0089] The pixel circuit 11 is Figure 8 In the 7T1C circuit shown in FIG. 1 , the first scanning signal includes a data write pulse and a dummy write pulse, and the dummy write pulse is located before the data write pulse. Fig.10 is a timing diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 8-Figure 10During the display time of one frame of picture, the pixel circuit 11 includes a bias phase t0, an initialization phase t1, a writing phase t2, a reset phase tf and a light emitting phase t3.
[0090] The bias stage t0 may be located before the initialization stage t1, the writing stage t2, and the light-emitting stage t3. In this stage, the virtual writing pulse S0 of the first scanning signal Scan1(i) may control the writing transistor M2 to be turned on, and transmit the data signals of the pixels P in other rows to the driving transistor M3 of the pixels P in this row, so as to eliminate the data signals written by the pixels P in this row in the previous writing stage. In this stage, the virtual writing pulse S0 may also control the compensation transistor M5 to be turned on, and transmit the data signals of the pixels P in other rows to the gate of the driving transistor M3 of the pixels P in this row, so as to avoid the gate of the driving transistor M3 of the pixels P in this row being at a certain potential for a long time when the picture is displayed continuously, thereby affecting the performance of the driving transistor M3.
[0091] The initialization stage t1 is located before the writing stage t2. In this stage, the second scanning signal Scan2(i) can control the initialization transistor M4 to turn on, transmit the initialization signal vref1 to the gate of the driving transistor M3, and control the driving transistor M3 to turn on, which is beneficial to the subsequent writing stage t2 to write the data signal data at the gate of the driving transistor M3.
[0092] The writing stage t2 is located after the initialization stage t1 and before the light-emitting stage t3. In this stage, the data writing pulse S1 of the first scanning signal Scan1(i) can control the writing transistor M2 to be turned on, and transmit the data signal data of the pixel circuit 11 of this row to the driving transistor M3 of the pixel circuit 11 of this row; at the same time, the data writing pulse S1 can also control the compensation transistor M5 to be turned on, and transmit the data signal data to the gate of the driving transistor M3 of the pixel circuit 11 of this row, and compensate for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M3.
[0093] The reset stage tf is located before the light emitting stage t3. In this stage, the first scan signal Scan1(i) or the second scan signal Scan2(i) can control the reset transistor M7 to transmit the reset signal to the light emitting element LED to clear the residual electrical signal in the light emitting element LED.
[0094] The light-emitting stage t3 is located after the initialization stage t1, the writing stage t2, and the reset stage t3. In this stage, the first scanning signal Scan1(i) and the second scanning signal Scan2(i) are both at invalid levels, the storage capacitor C stores the data signal, and the light-emitting control signal Emit(i) can control the first light-emitting control transistor M1 to be turned on, and transmit the first power signal PVDD to the driving transistor M3; the light-emitting control signal Emit(i) can also control the second light-emitting control transistor M6 to be turned on, and control the driving transistor M3 to provide a driving current to the light-emitting element LED, wherein the driving current corresponds to the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C. The light-emitting element LED also receives the second power signal PVEE to form a path in the light-emitting element LED, and the light-emitting element LED can display light according to the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C.
[0095] By setting the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time in at least part of the time period, the transition speed of at least part of the first scanning signal Scan1 when it jumps from the effective level to the invalid level can be reduced, and the coupling effect of the first scanning signal Scan1 on the node, especially the coupling on the gate potential of the driving transistor M3, is reduced, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the gate potential of the driving transistor M3, thereby improving the accuracy of the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C, and then when the light-emitting element LED displays light according to the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C, it can display the correct gray scale, which can effectively improve the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0096] It should be noted that the figure only exemplarily shows that the transistors in the pixel circuit 11 are all P-type transistors. In other embodiments, at least some of the transistors in the pixel circuit 11 may be N-type transistors. For the P-type transistor, when the signal received by its gate is a low level, the P-type transistor is turned on, and when the signal received by its gate is a high level, the P-type transistor is turned off; and for the N-type transistor, when the signal received by its gate is a high level, the N-type transistor is turned on, and when the signal received by its gate is a low level, the N-type transistor is turned off. For ease of description, the embodiments of the present invention take the case where the transistors in the pixel circuit 11 are all P-type transistors as an example to exemplarily illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0097] It should also be noted that the above is only an exemplary description of the specific structure and driving principle of the pixel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the structure and driving principle of the pixel in the embodiment of the present invention can be designed according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this. Figure 8 Taking the structure of the pixel shown in the figure as an example, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily described.
[0098] Optional, Fig.11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.11 , the first scan signal Scan1 includes a data write pulse S1 and a dummy write pulse S0; the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of each level is shifted in sequence; in the display time DF of a frame, at least one dummy write pulse S0 of the same first scan signal Scan1 is located before the data write pulse S1. The display time DF of a frame includes a first refresh period TF1 and a second refresh period TF2; in the first refresh stage TF1, the first shift register unit 22 of the first level to the first shift register unit 22 of the X-1th level sequentially outputs the data write pulse S1; in the second refresh period TF2, the first shift register unit 22 of the Xth level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth level sequentially outputs the data write pulse S1; N / 2<X≤N, and X is an integer; at least in the second refresh period TF2, the jump time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is greater than or equal to the second preset time length.
[0099] Exemplary, reference Fig.11 The first shift register 21 can receive the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal XCK1, the third clock signal CK2, and the fourth clock signal XCK2. The first-stage first shift register unit 22 can receive the first initial signal STV1 as an input signal. The second-stage first shift register unit 22 can receive the second initial signal STV1 as an input signal. The i-th first shift register unit 22 of the subsequent stage can receive the first scan signal Scan1(i-2) output by the i-2-th first shift register unit 22 as an input signal. At this time, i is a positive integer greater than 2 and less than or equal to N.
[0100] The 4x+1-level first shift register unit 22 can output a valid pulse of the first clock signal CK1 as a valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(4x+1); the 4x+2-level first shift register unit 22 can output a valid pulse of the third clock signal CK2 as a valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(4x+2); the 4x+3-level first shift register unit 22 can output a valid pulse of the second clock signal XCK1 as a valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(4x+3); the 4x+4-level first shift register unit 22 can output a valid pulse of the fourth clock signal XCK2 as a valid pulse of the first scan signal Scan1(4x+4); wherein x is a positive integer greater than or equal to 0.
[0101] For example, in the display time DF of a frame, the first shift register unit 22 can output three valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first two valid pulses are virtual write pulses S0, and the third valid pulse is a data write pulse S1. Fig.11 , X=N-7, starting from the first stage to the X-1 stage, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) output by the first shift register unit 22 can overlap with the virtual write pulses S0 of two other first scan signals Scan1, wherein the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) can overlap with the second virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i+4), and at the same time, can also overlap with the first virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i+8), at this time, i is a positive integer less than X.
[0102] Starting from the Xth stage to the Nth stage, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) output by the first shift register unit 22 only overlaps with the virtual write pulse S0 of one other first scan signal Scan1, or does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 of other first scan signals Scan1, wherein a part of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) only overlaps with the second virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i+4), and another part of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0, and at this time, i is an integer greater than or equal to X and less than or equal to N-4.
[0103] It can be seen from the above content that in at least part of the time period of the first refresh stage TF1, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is a first number; in at least part of the time period of the second refresh stage TF2, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is a second number; the first number is greater than the second number.
[0104] Continue to refer Fig.11, starting from the first stage to the X-1 stage, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 can overlap with the two virtual write pulses S0, that is, in the first refresh period TF1, when data is written, a large number of first shift register units 22 that control the same clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) as the first scan signal Scan1 will cause a large load on the clock signal line CL, resulting in more signal delays when the first shift register unit 22 outputs the valid pulse of the clock signal as the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1, causing a slow process of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 jumping from the valid level to the invalid level, and the coupling effect on some nodes in the pixel P is also less obvious, which is beneficial to the stability of the potential of the nodes in the pixel P.
[0105] Starting from the Xth stage to the Nth stage, the number of virtual write pulses S0 overlapping with the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 begins to decrease, that is, in the second refresh period TF2, when data is written, the number of first shift register units 22 that control the same clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) as the first scan signal Scan1 is reduced, which will make the load of the signal line CL that transmits the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) smaller, resulting in less signal delay when the first shift register unit 22 outputs the valid pulse of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1) as the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1.
[0106] By setting the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time length at least in the second refresh period TF2, the transition speed of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal clock signal can be reduced. In this way, when the load on the clock line CL is reduced, the process of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 jumping from the valid level to the invalid level can also be made slower, thereby reducing the coupling effect of the first scan signal Scan1 on the node, which is beneficial to balancing the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads on the clock line CL in the display time DF of a frame of the picture, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0107] Among them, during the effective time of the virtual write pulse S0, what is written into the pixel P is a data signal that does not correspond to the grayscale, such as the data signal of other rows, which is only used to improve the performance of the driving transistor, that is, when the virtual write pulse S0 jumps, the coupling effect on the node will not affect the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C. Therefore, the jumping process of the virtual write pulse S0 has little effect on the display grayscale of the light-emitting element LED. By setting the jumping time length of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) to be greater than or equal to the second preset time length in at least the second refresh period TF2, the process of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 jumping from the effective level to the invalid level is improved, and the problem of uneven display can be effectively improved.
[0108] In an alternative embodiment, Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.12 , in at least part of the first refresh period TF1, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the first transition time length △t1; in the second refresh period TF2, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the second transition time length △t2; the second transition time length △t2 is greater than the first transition time length △t1.
[0109] Specifically, in the first refresh period TF1, the load of the clock line CL is relatively large, so that the transition process of the first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level is relatively slow, and the coupling effect on the node of the driving transistor M3 is relatively small; in the second refresh period TF2, the load of the clock line CL is relatively small, and it is necessary to increase the transition time of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), so that the transition process of the first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level is also relatively slow, so as to reduce the coupling effect on the node of the driving transistor M3.
[0110] Therefore, in at least part of the first refresh period TF1, it is not necessary to increase the first transition time length △t1 of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), or the first transition time length △t1 of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) can be slightly increased, so that the first transition time length △t1 is less than the second transition time length △t2. Under the premise of not affecting the display effect, by setting a shorter first transition time length △t1, it is beneficial to increase the effective time length of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), thereby increasing the effective time length of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0111] In yet another optional embodiment, continue to refer to Fig.12 , the second refresh period TF2 includes a first sub-refresh stage TF01 and a second sub-refresh stage TF02; the first sub-refresh stage TF01 is located before the second sub-refresh stage TF02; in the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is a third time length △t3; in the second sub-refresh stage TF02, the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is a fourth time length △t4; the third time length △t3 is less than or equal to the fourth time length △t4.
[0112] For example, in the display time DF of a frame, the first shift register unit 22 can output three valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first two valid pulses are virtual write pulses S0, and the third valid pulse is a data write pulse S1. Fig.12 In the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 only overlaps with a virtual write pulse S0 of another first scan signal Scan1; in the second sub-refresh stage TF02, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 of other first scan signals Scan1.
[0113] Continue to refer Fig.12 , from the first refresh period TF1 to the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and overlapping the effective time of the first scan signal Scan1 is reduced (from three to two); from the first sub-refresh stage TF01 to the second sub-refresh stage TF02, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and overlapping the effective time of the first scan signal Scan1 is also reduced (from two to one). As a result, the load of the clock line CL is gradually reduced from the first refresh period TF1 to the first sub-refresh stage TF01, and from the first sub-refresh stage TF01 to the second sub-refresh stage TF02.
[0114] In addition, in some embodiments, from the first refresh period TF1 to the second refresh period TF2, from the first sub-refresh stage TF01 to the second sub-refresh stage TF02, the distance between the first shift register unit 22 for outputting the first scan signal Scan1 and the driving chip (not shown in the figure) or the clock controller (not shown in the figure) for outputting the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) also gradually decreases.
[0115] The reduced load of the clock line CL and the reduced distance between the first shift register unit 22 and the driving chip (not shown in the figure) or the clock controller (not shown in the figure) will both reduce the signal delay of the first shift register unit 22 outputting the clock signal as the first scanning signal Scan1. By setting the third time length △t3 to be less than or equal to the fourth time length △t4, the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scanning signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level in the display time DF of a frame of picture can be balanced, which is also beneficial to increase the effective time length of the clock signal, thereby increasing the effective time length of the data write pulse S1 of the first scanning signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0116] In another optional embodiment, the driving circuit 20 includes M clock lines; M≥2, and M is an even number; in the display time DF of one frame, the same first scan signal Scan1, Q virtual write pulses S0 are located before the data write pulse S1; Q≥1, and Q is an integer; N / 2<X≤N+1-Q×M.
[0117] For example, Fig.13 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Figure 11-13 , when M=4, Q=2, starting from the N-7th stage to the Nth stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping effective times of the first scan signal Scan1 is reduced compared with before, and the load of the clock line CL is also reduced compared with before, N / 2<X≤N-7, so that the second refresh period TF2 at least includes the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 from the N-7th stage to the Nth stage; when M=6, Q=2, starting from the N-11th stage to the Nth stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping effective times of the first scan signal Scan1 is reduced compared with before, and the load of the clock line CL is also reduced compared with before, N / 2<X≤N-11, so that the second refresh period TF2 at least includes the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 from the N-11th stage to the Nth stage. It is understandable that the number M of clock lines CL connected to the first shift register 21 of the driving circuit 20 can also be other integers, and the number Q of virtual write pulses S0 located before the data write pulse S1 of the same first scan signal Scan1 can also be other integers, which will not be explained one by one in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0118] By setting in the second refresh period TF2, the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is greater than or equal to the second preset time, and N / 2<X≤N+1-Q×M, it can be ensured that the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is increased at least when the load of the clock line CL is small, so as to balance the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0119] On the basis of the above embodiment, Q=2; in the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the first shift register unit 22 of the Xth level to the first shift register unit 22 of the NMth level output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the second sub-refresh stage TF02, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-M+1th level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth level output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; the third time length △t3 is less than the fourth time length △t4.
[0120] Exemplary, reference Figure 11-13 , when M=4, starting from the N-7th stage to the N-4th stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 2, and starting from the N-3th stage to the Nth stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 1, and in at least part of the time period of the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the load of the clock line CL is less than the load of the clock line CL in at least part of the time period of the first sub-refresh stage TF01.
[0121] When M=6, starting from the N-11th level to the N-6th level, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 2, and starting from the N-5th level to the Nth level, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 1, and during at least part of the first sub-refresh stage TF01, the load of the clock line CL is less than the load of the clock line CL during at least part of the first sub-refresh stage TF01.
[0122] By setting the first sub-refresh stage TF01 to include the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 from the Xth level to the NMth level, and the second sub-refresh stage TF02 to include the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 from the N-M+1th level to the Nth level, and the third time length △t3 is less than the fourth time length △t4, the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scanning signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL can be balanced, and it is also beneficial to increase the effective time length of the clock signal, thereby increasing the effective time length of the data write pulse S1 of the first scanning signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0123] In another optional embodiment, the display panel also includes multiple second scan lines; at least some of the pixels in the same row are electrically connected to the same second scan line; the second scan line is used to transmit a second scan signal; the second scan lines correspond to the first scan lines one by one, and at least some of the pixels in the same row are electrically connected to the corresponding second scan line and the first scan line at the same time; the sth first scan line corresponds to the sth second scan line; the sth first scan line is electrically connected to the s+kth second scan line; 1≤s≤Nk, 1≤k≤Ns, and s and k are both integers; wherein, X=NQ×M-k+1.
[0124] For example, Fig.14 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.14 , k=2, starting from the first stage to the N-2 stage, the first shift register unit 22(s) is electrically connected to the sth first scan line SL1 and the s+2th second scan line SL2 at the same time, the first shift register units 22 from the first stage to the N-2 stage are electrically connected to two scan lines (SL1 and SL2), and the loads of the first shift register units 22 from the first stage to the N-2 stage are the same; from the N-1 stage to the N stage, the first shift register unit 22 is electrically connected to one first scan line SL1, the loads of the first shift register units 22 from the N-1 stage to the N stage are the same, and the loads of the first shift register units 22 from the N-1 stage to the N stage are less than the loads of the first shift register units 22 from the first stage to the N-2 stage.
[0125] Taking k=2, M=6, Q=2 as an example, X=N-13, starting from the N-13th level to the Nth level, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 begins to overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 output by the first shift register unit 22 from the N-1th level to the Nth level, and / or, the number of virtual write pulses S0 overlapped by the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 decreases, so that the load of the clock line CL also decreases accordingly, and X=N-13 makes the second refresh period TF2 include the N-13th level The data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth stage, in the second refresh period TF2, the transition time length of the second voltage along J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2, CK3, XCK3) is greater than or equal to the second preset time length, which can balance the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01. Among them, k can also be other integers, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be described one by one.
[0126] On the basis of the above embodiment, Q=2; the second refresh period TF2 includes the first sub-stage t01, the second sub-stage t02, the third sub-stage t03, the fourth sub-stage t04 and the fifth sub-stage t05; in the first sub-stage t01, the first shift register unit 22 of the Xth stage to the first shift register unit 22 of the N-2×Mth stage sequentially outputs the data write pulse S1; in the second sub-stage t02, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-2×M+1th stage to the first shift register unit 22 of the NMkth stage sequentially outputs Data write pulse S1; in the third sub-stage t03, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-M+1-kth level to the first shift register unit 22 of the NMth level output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the fourth sub-stage t04, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-M+1th level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nkth level output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the fifth sub-stage t05, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-k+1th level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth level output the data write pulse S1 in sequence.
[0127] In the ath sub-stage, the transition duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is the fifth duration; in the bth sub-refresh stage, the transition duration of the second voltage edge of the clock signal is the sixth duration; 1≤a<b≤5, and a and b are both integers; wherein, the fifth duration is less than the sixth duration.
[0128] For example, taking k=2, M=6, X=NQ×M-k+1=N-13 as an example, continue to refer to Fig.14, in the first sub-stage t01, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-13th stage to the first shift register unit 22 of the N-12th stage output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the first sub-stage t01, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 overlaps with the virtual write pulse S0 output by the first shift register unit 22 of the N-1th stage to the Nth stage, wherein the load of the first shift register unit 22 of the N-1th stage to the Nth stage is smaller than the load of other first shift register units 22, therefore, in the first sub-stage t01, the load of the clock line CL is smaller than the load of the clock line CL in the first refresh stage TF1.
[0129] In the second sub-stage t02, the N-11th first shift register unit to the N-8th first shift register unit 22 sequentially output data write pulses S1; in the second sub-stage t02, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 overlaps with a virtual write pulse S0 output by another first shift register unit 22, and the number of virtual write pulses S0 overlapped by the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 is reduced. Therefore, in the second sub-stage t02, the load of the clock line CL is less than that in the first sub-stage t01.
[0130] In the third sub-stage t03, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-7th stage to the first shift register unit 22 of the N-6th stage outputs the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the third sub-stage t03, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 overlaps with a virtual write pulse S0 output by the first shift register unit 22 of the N-1th stage to the Nth stage, therefore, in the third sub-stage t03, the load of the clock line CL is less than the load of the clock line CL in the second sub-stage t02.
[0131] In the fourth sub-stage t04, the N-5th-level first shift register unit to the N-2th-level first shift register unit 22 sequentially output the data write pulse S1; in the fourth sub-stage t04, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 output by other first shift register units 22, and the number of virtual write pulses S0 overlapping with the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 is reduced, therefore, in the fourth sub-stage t04, the load of the clock line CL is less than that in the third sub-stage t03.
[0132] In the fifth sub-stage t05, the first shift register unit 22 of the N-1th stage to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth stage output the data write pulse S1 in sequence; in the fifth sub-stage t05, the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 output by other first shift register units 22, and the load of the first shift register unit 22 that outputs the data write pulse S1 is smaller than the load of other first shift register units 22, therefore, in the fifth sub-stage t05, the load of the clock line CL is smaller than the load of the clock line CL in the fourth sub-stage t04.
[0133] By setting the fifth time length to be smaller than the sixth time length, it can be that in the first sub-stage t01, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is smaller than the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal in the second sub-stage t02; in the second sub-stage t02, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is smaller than the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal in the third sub-stage t03; in the third sub-stage t03, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is smaller than the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal in the fourth sub-stage t04; In the fourth sub-stage t04, the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is shorter than the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal in the fifth sub-stage t05. In this way, the different loads of the clock line CL can be finely divided, which is conducive to better balancing the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under the different loads of the clock line CL, and is also conducive to increasing the effective time of the clock signal, thereby increasing the effective time of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0134] Optional, Fig.15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.15, the first scan signal Scan1 includes a data write pulse S1 and a dummy write pulse S0; the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 of each level is shifted in sequence; in the display time DF of a frame, at least one dummy write pulse S0 of the same first scan signal Scan1 is located after the data write pulse S1. The display time DF of a frame includes a third refresh phase TF3 and a fourth refresh phase TF4; in the third refresh period TF3, the first shift register unit 22 of the first level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Zth level sequentially outputs the data write pulse S1; 1≤Z<N / 2, and Z is an integer; in the fourth refresh phase TF3, the first shift register unit 22 of the Z+1th level to the first shift register unit 22 of the Nth level sequentially outputs the data write pulse S1; at least in the third refresh period TF3, the jump time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is greater than or equal to the second preset time length.
[0135] For example, in the display time DF of a frame, the first shift register unit 22 can output three valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first valid pulse is the data write pulse S1, and the last two valid pulses are virtual write pulses S0. Fig.15 , Z=8, starting from the first stage to the Zth stage, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) output by the first shift register unit 22 does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 of other first scan signals Scan1, or only overlaps with the virtual write pulse S0 of one other first scan signal Scan1, wherein a part of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0, and another part of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) only overlaps with the second virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i-4), at this time, i is an integer greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to Z.
[0136] Starting from the Z+1th level to the Nth level, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) output by the first shift register unit 22 can overlap with the virtual write pulses S0 of two other first scan signals Scan1, wherein the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1(i) can overlap with the second virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i-4), and at the same time, can also overlap with the first virtual write pulse S0 of the first scan signal Scan1(i-8), at this time, i is an integer greater than or equal to Z+1 and less than or equal to N.
[0137] It can be seen from the above content that, in at least part of the time period of the third refresh stage TF3, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is the third number; in at least part of the time period of the fourth refresh stage TF4, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is the fourth number; the third number is greater than the fourth number.
[0138] Continue to refer Fig.15 , starting from the 1st stage to the Zth stage, the number of dummy write pulses S0 overlapped by the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 is small, that is, in the third refresh period TF3, when data is written, the number of first shift register units 22 that control the same clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) as the first scan signal Scan1 is small, which will make the load of the clock signal line CL too small. Starting from the Z+1th stage to the Nth stage, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 can overlap with two dummy write pulses S0, that is, in the fourth refresh period TF4, when data is written, the number of first shift register units 22 that control the same clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) as the first scan signal Scan1 is large, which will make the load of the clock signal line CL too large.
[0139] By setting the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal clock signal to be greater than or equal to the second preset time length at least in the third refresh period TF3, the transition speed of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal clock signal can be reduced, and the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL can be balanced, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0140] In an alternative embodiment, Fig.16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.16 In the third refresh period TF3, the transition duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the seventh duration △t7; in at least part of the fourth refresh period TF4, the transition duration of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the eighth duration △t8; the seventh duration △t7 is greater than the eighth duration △t8.
[0141] Specifically, in the third refresh period TF3, the load of the clock line CL is small, and the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) needs to be increased, so that the transition process of the first scan signal Scan1 from the effective level to the ineffective level is slow, so as to reduce the coupling effect on the node of the driving transistor M3. In at least part of the fourth refresh period TF4, it is not necessary to increase the eighth time length △t8 of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), or the eighth time length △t8 of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) can be increased by a small amount, so that the eighth time length △t8 is less than the seventh time length △t7, which is conducive to increasing the effective time length of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), thereby increasing the effective time length of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0142] In yet another optional embodiment, continue to refer to Fig.16 , the third refresh period TF3 includes a third sub-refresh stage TF03 and a fourth sub-refresh stage TF04; the third sub-refresh stage TF03 is located before the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04; in the third sub-refresh stage TF03, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the ninth time length △t9; in the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the transition time length of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2) is the tenth time length △t10; the ninth time length △t9 is greater than or equal to the tenth time length △t10.
[0143] For example, in the display time DF of a frame, the first shift register unit 22 can output three valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first valid pulse is the data write pulse S1, and the last two valid pulses are virtual write pulses S0. Fig.16 In the third sub-refresh stage TF03, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 does not overlap with the virtual write pulse S0 of other first scan signals Scan1; in the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register unit 22 only overlaps with the virtual write pulse S0 of one other first scan signal Scan1.
[0144] Continue to refer Fig.16From the third sub-refresh stage TF03 to the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping effective times of the first scan signal Scan1 increases (from one to two), and the load of the clock line CL increases; from the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04 to the fourth refresh period TF4, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping effective times of the first scan signal Scan1 also increases (from two to three), and the load of the clock line CL increases.
[0145] The increase in the load of the clock line CL will increase the signal delay of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2 or XCK2) output by the first shift register unit 22 as the first scan signal Scan1. The data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 in different refresh periods has different transition speeds from the valid level to the invalid level, and the coupling effect on the nodes in the pixel is also different, resulting in different degrees of deviation in the data signal stored in the storage capacitor C in the pixel circuit in different areas. By setting the ninth time length △t9 to be greater than or equal to the tenth time length △t10, the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level in the display time DF of a frame of picture can be balanced, which is also beneficial to increase the effective time of the clock signal (CK1, XCK1, CK2, XCK2), thereby increasing the effective time of the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0146] In another optional embodiment, the driving circuit 20 includes M clock lines; M≥2, and M is an even number; in the display time DF of one frame, the same first scan signal Scan1, P virtual write pulses S0 are located after the data write pulse S1; P≥1, and P is an integer; P×M≤z<N / 2.
[0147] For example, Fig.17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Figure 15-17When M=4 and P=2, from the 9th to the Nth level, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and overlapping with the effective time of the first scan signal Scan1 increases compared with before, and the load of the clock line CL also increases compared with before, 8≤z<N / 2, so that the third refresh period TF3 at least includes the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 of the first to the eighth level; when M=6 and P=2, from the thirteenth to the Nth level, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and overlapping with the effective time of the first scan signal Scan1 increases compared with before, and the load of the clock line CL also increases compared with before, 12≤z<N / 2, so that the third refresh period TF3 at least includes the data write pulse S1 of the first scan signal Scan1 output by the first shift register units 22 of the first to the twelfth level. It is understandable that the number M of clock lines CL connected to the first shift register 21 of the driving circuit 20 can also be other integers, and the number P of virtual write pulses S0 located after the data write pulse S1 of the same first scan signal Scan1 can also be other integers, which will not be explained one by one in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0148] By setting in the third refresh period TF3, the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is greater than or equal to the second preset time, and P×M≤z<N / 2, it can be ensured that the transition time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal is increased at least when the load of the clock line CL is small, so as to balance the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scan signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL, thereby improving the problem of uneven display of the display panel 01.
[0149] On the basis of the above embodiment, P=2; in the third sub-refresh stage TF03, the first-level first shift register unit 22 to the M-th-level first shift register unit 22 sequentially output the data write pulse S1; in the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the M+1-th-level first shift register unit 22 to the 2×M-th-level first shift register unit 22 sequentially output the data write pulse S1; the ninth time length △t9 is greater than the tenth time length △t10.
[0150] Exemplary, reference Figure 15-17 , when M=4, starting from the first stage to the fourth stage, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 1, and starting from the fifth stage to the eighth stage, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 2, and in at least part of the period of the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the load of the clock line CL is greater than the load of the clock line CL in at least part of the period of the third sub-refresh stage TF03.
[0151] When M=6, starting from the first stage to the sixth stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 1, and starting from the seventh stage to the twelfth stage, the number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose effective times overlap with the first scan signal Scan1 is 2, and in at least part of the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04, the load of the clock line CL is greater than the load of the clock line CL in at least part of the third sub-refresh stage TF03.
[0152] By setting the third sub-refresh stage TF03 to include the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 from the first level to the Mth level, and the fourth sub-refresh stage TF04 to include the data write pulse S1 output by the first shift register unit 22 from the M+1th level to the 2×Mth level, and the ninth time length △t9 is greater than the tenth time length △t10, the transition speed of the data write pulse S1 of each first scanning signal Scan1 from the valid level to the invalid level under different loads of the clock line CL can be balanced, and it is also beneficial to increase the effective time length of the clock signal, thereby increasing the effective time length of the data write pulse S1 of the first scanning signal Scan1 and improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0153] Optionally, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and outputting the first scan signals Scan1 with overlapping effective times is less than or equal to 2.
[0154] Exemplary, reference Fig.17 For the display time DF of one frame, the first shift register unit 22 can output three valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first valid pulse is the data write pulse S1, and the last two valid pulses are both virtual write pulses S0. The maximum number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping valid times of the output first scan signal Scan1 is 3, and the minimum is 1. The maximum difference in the load of the clock line CL is large, resulting in more cases where the load of the clock line CL is small, and the refresh time of the clock line CL with uneven load is also long, resulting in more areas where abnormal display brightness is prone to occur.
[0155] In an alternative embodiment, Fig.18 This is a schematic diagram of the structure and timing of another driving circuit provided by the present invention, referring to Fig.18 In the display time DF of a frame, the first scanning signal Scan1 includes a data writing pulse S1 and a dummy writing pulse S0.
[0156] For the display time DF of one frame of picture, the first shift register unit 22 can output two valid pulses of the first scanning signal Scan1, and the first valid pulse is the data write pulse S1, and the second valid pulse is the virtual write pulse S0, or the first valid pulse is the virtual write pulse S0, and the second valid pulse is the data write pulse S1 (not shown in the figure). When the first shift register unit 22 of the first four stages or the last four stages (not shown in the figure) outputs the data write pulse S1, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose output valid time of the first scanning signal Scan1 overlaps is 1; when the first shift register units 22 of other stages output the data write pulse S1, the number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and whose output valid time of the first scanning signal Scan1 overlaps is 2, and the maximum difference in the load of the clock line CL is small, so that the situation where the load of the clock line CL is small is less, the refresh time of the uneven load of the clock line CL is shorter, and the area prone to abnormal display brightness is less.
[0157] By setting the maximum number of first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and having overlapping effective times of the output first scanning signal Scan1 to 2 during the display time DF of a frame of picture, on the one hand, the load of the clock line CL is relatively small, and the signal delay of the first shift register unit 22 outputting the clock signal as the first scanning signal Scan1 is also relatively small. In this way, the thrust of the voltage edge of the clock signal can be set to be relatively small, which is beneficial to reducing power consumption; on the other hand, the maximum difference in the load change of the clock line CL can be reduced, and the situation where the load of the clock line CL is relatively small can also be reduced, thereby shortening the refresh time of the uneven load of the clock line CL and reducing the area prone to abnormal display brightness; in addition, the time period in which the jump time of the second voltage edge J needs to be increased can be shortened, thereby reducing the impact on the clock signal in other time periods, which is beneficial to increasing the effective time of the clock signal and the effective time of the data write pulse S1 of the first scanning signal Scan1, thereby improving the charging rate of the data signal.
[0158] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the pixel circuit 11 is Figure 8 Taking the 7T1C circuit shown in the figure as an example, in the display time DF of one frame of picture, the first shift register unit 22 can output two valid pulses of the first scan signal Scan1, and the first valid pulse is the data write pulse S1, and the second valid pulse is the virtual write pulse S0. In an optional embodiment, the virtual write pulse S0 can be located after the write stage t2 and after the light-emitting stage t3, such as Fig.19 As shown, after the pixel P displays light, the driving transistor M3 is bias-adjusted to improve the performance of the driving transistor M3.
[0159] In another optional implementation, the dummy write pulse S0 may also be located after the write phase t2 and before the light emitting phase t3, such as Fig. 20 As shown, the driving transistor M3 is bias-adjusted before the pixel P displays light emission, wherein this embodiment is applicable to the case where the compensation transistor M5 and the write transistor M2 receive different scanning signals (not shown in the figure), and when the driving transistor M3 is bias-adjusted before the pixel P displays light emission during the effective time of the virtual write pulse S0, the compensation transistor M5 needs to be turned off to avoid the data signals of other rows used for bias adjustment being written into the gate of the driving transistor M3 during the effective time of the virtual write pulse S0, thereby affecting the displayed grayscale.
[0160] Optionally, in the display time DF of one frame, the first scan signal Scan1 includes a first virtual write pulse S01, a data write pulse S1 and a second virtual write pulse S02; wherein, in the display time DF of one frame, the data write pulse S1 is located between the first virtual write pulse S01 and the second virtual write pulse S02.
[0161] For example, Fig.21 is a structural schematic diagram and timing schematic diagram of another driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig.21 The driving circuit 20 includes four clock lines CL. When the first shift register unit 22 outputs the data write pulse S1, the maximum number of the first shift register units 22 connected to the same clock line CL and the first scan signal Scan1 whose effective time overlaps is 3 and the minimum number is 2. On the one hand, the maximum difference of the load change of the clock line CL can be reduced, and the situation that the load of the clock line CL is too small can be reduced. Therefore, when increasing the jump time of the second voltage edge J2 of the clock signal in part of the display time DF of each frame, it is not necessary to increase it too long, which can reduce the impact on the effective time, increase the charging rate of the data signal, and do not need to design too much jump time of the second voltage edge J2 according to the situation that the load is too small, which can simplify the timing design; on the other hand, before and after data writing, a bias adjustment is performed each time, which can better adjust the state of the driving transistor, which is beneficial to extend the service life of the driving transistor and improve the display quality.
[0162] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment, the pixel circuit 11 is Figure 8 Take the 7T1C circuit shown as an example. Fig. 22 is a timing diagram of another pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 22The first virtual write pulse S01 can be located before the initialization stage t1, and the second virtual write pulse S02 can be located after the light-emitting stage t3. In this way, the driving transistor M3 can be biased and adjusted before the pixel P is initialized, and the driving transistor M3 can be biased and adjusted again after the pixel P displays light, which can prevent the driving transistor M3 of the pixel circuit 11 from being at a certain potential for a long time, affecting the performance of the driving transistor M3.
[0163] In other embodiments, the second dummy write pulse S02 may also be located before the light emitting phase t3, such as Fig.23 As shown, the driving transistor M3 is bias-adjusted again before the pixel P displays light emission, wherein this embodiment is applicable to the case where the compensation transistor M5 and the write transistor M2 receive different scanning signals (not shown in the figure), and when the driving transistor M3 is bias-adjusted before the pixel P displays light emission during the effective time of the second virtual write pulse S02, the compensation transistor M5 needs to be turned off to avoid the data signals of other rows used for bias adjustment being written into the gate of the driving transistor M3 during the effective time of the second virtual write pulse S02, thereby affecting the displayed grayscale.
