[0030] In this exemplary embodiment, the method for driving the pixel driving circuit may include four stages: a reset stage, a data writing stage, a data enhancement stage, and a light emitting stage. In the reset stage, valid levels may be input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the first enable signal terminal EM1, and invalid levels may be input to the first gate driving signal terminal G1, the second gate driving signal terminal G2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The first reset circuit 6 conducts the first initial signal terminal Vini1 and the fourth node N4, the light emitting control circuit 4 conducts the first power supply terminal VDD and the third node N3, the compensation circuit 2 conducts the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the second reset circuit 7 conducts the second initial signal terminal Vini2 and the fifth node N5. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 writes a first initial signal to the fourth node N4, the first power supply terminal VDD writes a power supply signal to the first node N1, and the second initial signal terminal Vini2 writes a second initial signal to the fifth node N5. In the data writing stage, valid levels may be input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the first gate driving signal terminal G1, and the first enable signal terminal EM1, and invalid levels may be input to the second gate driving signal terminal G2, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The first reset circuit 6 conducts the first initial signal terminal Vini1 and the fourth node N4, the data writing circuit 3 conducts the data signal terminal Data and the second node N2, the compensation circuit 2 conducts the first node N1 and the third node N3, and the second reset circuit 7 conducts the second initial signal terminal Vini2 and the fifth node N5. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 inputs a first initial signal to the fourth node N4, and the second initial signal terminal Vini2 writes a second initial signal to the fifth node N5. The data signal terminal Data writes a voltage Vdata to the second node N2, and the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3 become Vdata + Vth, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal output by the data signal terminal, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving circuit 1. In the data enhancement stage, valid levels may be input to the reset signal terminal Reset and the second gate driving signal terminal G2, and invalid levels may be input to the first gate driving signal terminal G1, the first enable signal terminal EM1, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The signal enhancement circuit 5 conducts the first power supply terminal VDD and the fifth node N5, and the first reset circuit 6 conducts the first initial signal terminal Vini1 and the fourth node N4. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 inputs a first initial signal to the fourth node N4. The voltage of the fifth node N5 changes from Vini2 to Vdd, where Vini2 is the voltage of the second initial signal and Vdd is the power supply voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD.Based on the principle that the charge of the first node N1 remains unchanged before and after entering the data enhancement stage, the voltage of the first node N1 is raised to Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2), where C1 is the capacitance value of the first storage circuit 8 and C2 is the capacitance value of the second storage circuit 9. In the light-emitting stage, an effective level can be input to the second enable signal terminal EM2 and the third enable signal terminal EM3, and an invalid level can be input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the first enable signal terminal EM1, the first gate drive signal terminal G1, and the second gate drive signal terminal G2. The light-emitting control circuit 4 conducts the first power supply terminal VDD and the third node N3, and conducts the second node N2 and the fourth node N4. The voltage of the fourth node N4 changes from Vini1 to VN4, where Vini1 is the voltage of the first initial signal. The voltage of the first node N1 is coupled to Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2) + (VN4 - Vini1) under the action of the second storage circuit 9. According to the drive transistor output current formula I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs - Vth) in the drive circuit 1. 2 , where μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the drive transistor channel, L is the length of the drive transistor channel, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the drive transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the drive transistor. The output current I of the drive circuit 1 in this disclosure is I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2) + (VN4 - Vini1) - VN4 - Vth) 2 = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2) - Vini1) 2 . It can be seen that in this exemplary embodiment, the output current of the pixel drive circuit has nothing to do with the threshold of the drive circuit 1, and this pixel drive circuit can avoid the problem of uneven display of the display panel caused by inconsistent thresholds of the drive circuit 1. At the same time, since the voltage of the first node N1 is raised in the data enhancement stage t3, this pixel drive circuit can output a higher current. Here, the first storage circuit 8 and the second storage circuit 9 can also adjust the output current of the drive circuit, or adjust the voltage range of the data signal when the output current range is certain.

[0031] It should be noted that the effective level is the level that can drive the target circuit. For example, when the target circuit is an N-type transistor, the effective level is a high level, and the logic of the invalid level is opposite to that of the effective level.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the fourth node N4 of the pixel driving circuit may be used to connect a first electrode of a light emitting unit Oled, and a second electrode of the light emitting unit Oled may be connected to a second power supply terminal VSS. In this exemplary embodiment, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 may all be N-type transistors. The first power supply terminal VDD may be a high-level power supply terminal, and the second power supply terminal VSS may be a low-level power supply terminal. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, at least some of the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 may also be P-type transistors. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first initial signal terminal Vini1 may also share the second initial signal terminal Vini2.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, for Figure 1 the timing diagram of control signals in a driving method of the pixel driving circuit shown. Among them, Reset is the timing diagram of the reset signal terminal, G1 is the timing diagram of the first gate driving signal terminal, G2 is the timing diagram of the second gate driving signal terminal, EM1 is the timing diagram of the first enable signal terminal, EM2 is the timing diagram of the second enable signal terminal, and EM3 is the timing diagram of the third enable signal terminal. The driving method of the pixel driving circuit may include: a reset stage t1, a data writing stage t2, a data enhancement stage t3, and a light emitting stage t4.

[0039] In the reset stage t1, as Figure 3 shown, for Figure 1State diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown in the reset stage. Among them, the transistors with crosses are in the off state, and the transistors without crosses are in the on state. In the reset stage, high levels are input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the first enable signal terminal EM1, and low levels are input to the first gate driving signal terminal G1, the second gate driving signal terminal G2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The first transistor T1, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the second transistor T2, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 inputs a first initial signal to the fourth node N4, and the first power supply terminal VDD inputs a high-level power supply signal to the first node N1 through the fourth transistor T4 and the first transistor T1. The second initial signal terminal Vini2 writes a second initial signal to the fifth node N5.

[0040] In the data writing stage t2, as Figure 4 shown, it is Figure 1 State diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown in the data writing stage. Among them, the transistors with crosses are in the off state, and the transistors without crosses are in the on state. In the data writing stage t2, high levels are input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the first gate driving signal terminal G1, and the first enable signal terminal EM1, and low levels are input to the second gate driving signal terminal G2, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on, and the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 inputs a first initial signal to the fourth node N4, and the second initial signal terminal Vini2 writes a second initial signal to the fifth node N5. The data signal terminal Data writes a voltage Vdata to the second node N2, the driving transistor T3 is turned on, and the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3 decrease until the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3 become Vdata + Vth, where Vdata is the voltage of the data signal output by the data signal terminal, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3.

[0041] In the data enhancement stage t3, as Figure 5 shown, it is Figure 1The state diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown during the data boosting stage. Among them, the transistors with a cross mark are in the off state, and the transistors without a cross mark are in the on state. A high level is input to the reset signal terminal Reset and the second gate driving signal terminal G2, and a low level is input to the first gate driving signal terminal G1, the first enable signal terminal EM1, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3. The sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. The first initial signal terminal Vini1 inputs a first initial signal to the fourth node N4. The voltage of the fifth node N5 changes from Vini2 to Vdd, where Vini2 is the voltage of the second initial signal and Vdd is the power supply voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD. Based on the principle that the charge of the first node N1 remains unchanged before and after entering the data boosting stage, the voltage of the first node N1 is pulled up to Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2), where C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1 and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2.

[0042] The light emitting stage t4, as Figure 6 shown, is Figure 1 the state diagram of the pixel driving circuit shown during the light emitting stage. Among them, the transistors with a cross mark are in the off state, and the transistors without a cross mark are in the on state. During the light emitting stage, a high level is input to the second enable signal terminal EM2 and the third enable signal terminal EM3, and a low level is input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the first enable signal terminal EM1, the first gate driving signal terminal G1, and the second gate driving signal terminal G2. The fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. The voltage of the fourth node N4 changes from Vini1 to VN4, where Vini1 is the voltage of the first initial signal. The voltage of the first node N1 is coupled to Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2) + (VN4 - Vini1) under the action of the second capacitor C2. According to the driving transistor output current formula I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vgs - Vth) 2 , where μ is the carrier mobility; Cox is the gate capacitance per unit area, W is the width of the driving transistor channel, L is the length of the driving transistor channel, Vgs is the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor. The driving transistor T3 of the present disclosure outputs a current I = (μWCox / 2L)(Vdata + Vth + (C1 / (C1 + C2))×(Vdd - Vini2) + (VN4 - Vini1) - VN4 - Vth) 2= (μWCox / 2L) (Vdata + (C1 / (C1 + C2)) × (Vdd - Vini2) - Vini1) 2 Among them, the voltages of the first initial signal and the second initial signal can be the same.

[0043] It can be seen from this that in this exemplary embodiment, the output current of the pixel driving circuit has nothing to do with the threshold of the driving transistor T3. This pixel driving circuit can avoid the problem of uneven display of the display panel caused by inconsistent thresholds of the driving transistor T3. At the same time, since the voltage of the first node N1 is pulled high during the data enhancement stage t3, this pixel driving circuit can output a higher current. Here, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 can also adjust the output current of the driving transistor, or adjust the voltage range of the data signal when the output current range is certain.

[0044] This exemplary embodiment also provides a method for driving a pixel driving circuit. This driving method is used to drive the above-mentioned pixel driving circuit, and the driving method includes:

[0045] In the reset stage, an effective level is input to the reset signal terminal Reset, the second enable signal terminal EM2, and the first enable signal terminal EM1, and an invalid level is input to the first gate driving signal terminal G1, the second gate driving signal terminal G2, and the third enable signal terminal EM3;
