[0038] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless otherwise specifically stated.
[0039] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.
[0040] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.
[0041] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0042] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0043] In the prior art, when display products are displayed at low frequencies, and in order to ensure that the borders of display products are small enough, some gate drive circuits are often designed as one-drive-multiple, such as one-drive-two design; however, when display products adopt one-drive-multiple design, the problem of interlaced bright and dark lines is prone to occur, affecting the user experience. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a method that can improve the problem of bright and dark lines on the screen of a display device.
[0044] For example, Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a display panel in the prior art. Figure 1 In the prior art, when the pixel driving circuit adopts a one-drive-two design, after SP1 is turned on to write data, SP2 is turned on to write data in the next row, and then S2 is turned off. This results in a waiting time of one row after the N1 node in the SP1 row pixel circuit completes Vth compensation. During this time, S2 is in the on state. Since the N2 node potential is data at the previous moment, the N1 node potential is less than and close to (data-|Vth|); since the N2 node has parasitic capacitance, the N2 node potential will continue to leak to the N1 node, so that the potential of the N1 node is further increased. However, S2 is turned off soon after the SP2 row pixel circuit writes data, and the N2 node potential in the SP2 row pixel circuit does not leak to the N1 node for a long time, resulting in the N1 node potential in the SP2 row pixel circuit being lower than the N1 node potential in the SP1 row pixel circuit. Therefore, when the display panel displays the picture, the SP1 row is dark and the SP2 row is bright, that is, there is a problem of interlaced bright and dark lines. Especially for wearable products, where one line lasts for 30 to 50 us, leakage current will be more obvious, making the bright and dark lines on the display more obvious.
[0045] In view of this, the present invention provides a display panel and a driving method thereof, and a display device, so as to solve the problem of bright and dark lines appearing on the screen of the display device in the prior art.

Specifically, each gate driving circuit includes a plurality of cascade-connected gate driving units, that is, the first gate driving circuit 110 includes a plurality of cascade-connected first gate driving units 11, the second gate driving circuit 120 includes a plurality of cascade-connected second gate driving units 12, and the third gate driving circuit 130 includes a plurality of cascade-connected third gate driving units 13; such an arrangement enables the driving signal to be transmitted downward one level at a time between the gate driving units, so as to realize the scanning drive of the pixel driving circuits 21 one row at a time.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 3Each pixel driving circuit 21 includes a first switch module 30, a data writing module 40, and a second switch module 30, wherein the first switch module 30 includes a fourth transistor M4, a first end of the fourth transistor M4 is electrically connected to the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit 21, a second end is electrically connected to the first reference voltage end Vref1, and a control end is electrically connected to the first circuit control end S1N1; the first circuit control end S1N1 is used to control the opening or closing of the first switch module 30 (fourth transistor M4), when the first switch module 30 is in the opening state, the electrical signal received by the first reference voltage end Vref1 can be transmitted to the first node N1 through the first switch module 30.

When the data writing module 40 is in the opening state, the electrical signal received by the data signal end Data can be transmitted to the first node N1 through the first switch module 30. The second switch module 30 includes a fifth transistor M5, a first end of the fifth transistor M5 is also electrically connected to the first node N1 in the pixel driving circuit 21, a second end is electrically connected to the third node N3 in the pixel driving circuit 21, and a control end is electrically connected to the second circuit control end S2N1; wherein the second circuit control end S2N1 is used to control the opening or closing of the second switch module, and when the second switch module 30 is in the opening state, the potential of the third node N3 is also transmitted to the first node N1.
[0058] In which, the present application sets each first gate driving unit 11 in the display panel 100 to be electrically connected to the first circuit control terminal S1N1 in the adjacent multi-row pixel driving circuit 21, so as to transmit an electrical signal to the first circuit control terminal S1N1 in the multi-row pixel driving circuit 21 through one first gate driving unit 11; and sets each second gate driving unit 12 in the display panel 100 to be electrically connected to the adjacent multi-row pixel driving circuit 21 correspondingly electrically connected to each first gate driving unit 11, specifically, the second gate driving unit 12 is electrically connected to the second circuit control terminal S2N1 in the multi-row pixel driving circuit 21, so as to transmit an electrical signal to the second circuit control terminal S2N1 in the multi-row pixel driving circuit 21 through one second gate driving unit 12; and sets each third gate driving unit 13 in the display panel 100 to be electrically connected to the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 in the corresponding 1-row pixel driving circuit 21, so as to transmit an electrical signal to the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 in each row of pixel driving circuit 21 row by row through the third gate driving unit 13.
[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an optional embodiment, in which the first gate driving unit 11 and the second gate driving unit 12 are both electrically connected to two rows of pixel driving circuits 21, that is, the case of N=2, and the third gate driving unit 13 is still arranged with a row of pixel driving circuits 21. Based on this, the present application provides a driving method for a display panel 100, in which, in two adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21 within a frame scanning time, the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the two rows of pixel driving circuits 21 is arranged to include a first time period (B) between the end point of receiving the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13 and the end point of receiving the driving signal transmitted by the second gate driving unit 12 by the second circuit control terminal S2N1 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21, and the first time period (B) is arranged for the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the two rows of pixel driving circuits 21. The charges of the second node N2 can all leak to the first node N1 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21, so that the potential of the first node N1 in the first row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the two rows of pixel driving circuits 21 is the same as the potential of the first node N1 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the two rows of pixel driving circuits 21, thereby avoiding the situation where the potentials finally transmitted to the light-emitting elements in the pixel driving circuits 21 are different, and making the potentials transmitted to the corresponding light-emitting elements by the two adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21 the same, thereby driving the light-emitting elements to have the same brightness, avoiding the occurrence of bright and dark lines, and improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0060] That is, the present application adjusts the driving timing so that S2N1 will not be turned off until a period of time (first time period B) has passed after the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the two rows of pixel driving circuits 21 has written data, and can make all the charges of the second node N2 leak to the first node N1 within the first time period (B), so that the potential of the first node N1 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 can be increased like the potential of the first node N1 in the first row of pixel driving circuits 21, thereby avoiding the problem of bright and dark lines between alternate rows and making the picture display of the display panel 100 more uniform.
[0061] In addition, if Figure 4As shown, the present application provides an optional embodiment, that is, the first gate driving unit 11 and the second gate driving unit 12 are both electrically connected to three rows of pixel driving circuits 21, that is, N=3, and the third gate driving unit 13 is still set with one row of pixel driving circuits 21. Based on this, the present application provides a driving method of a display panel 100, that is, in one frame scanning time, in the three adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21, the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the three rows of pixel driving circuits 21 is set to include a first time period (B) between the end point of receiving the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13 and the end point of receiving the driving signal transmitted by the second gate driving unit 12 by the second circuit control terminal S2N1 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21, and the first time period (B) is set for the charge of the second node N2 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 in the three rows of pixel driving circuits 21 to be able to drain Flows to the first node N1 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21, so that the potential of the first node N1 in the first row of pixel driving circuits 21 among the three rows of pixel driving circuits 21, the potential of the first node N1 in the second row of pixel driving circuits 21, and the potential of the first node N1 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 among the three rows of pixel driving circuits 21 are the same, avoiding the situation where the potentials finally transmitted to the light-emitting elements in the pixel driving circuits 21 are different, so that the potentials transmitted to the corresponding light-emitting elements by the three adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21 are the same, thereby driving the light-emitting elements to have the same brightness, avoiding the occurrence of bright and dark lines, and improving the display effect of the display panel 100.
[0062] It should be added that when the first gate driving unit 11 and the second gate driving unit 12 are both electrically connected to the three adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21, there is a risk that the charge of the second node N2 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 cannot be completely leaked to the first node N1. Therefore, the first time period (B) is increased so that the charge of the second node N2 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 can all leak to the first node N1 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21. The technical effect that the potential of the first node N1 in the third row of pixel driving circuits 21 can be increased as well as the potential of the first node N1 in the first row of pixel driving circuits 21 and the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 can be increased, thereby avoiding the problem of bright and dark lines and making the picture display of the display panel 100 more uniform.
[0063] It should be noted that N=2 and N=3 listed in the above examples of the present application are only optional embodiments of the present application. The present application does not specifically limit the value range of N. As long as a first time period (B) of the Nth row in the Nth row of adjacently arranged pixel driving circuits 21 in which the first gate driving unit 11 and the second gate driving unit 12 are electrically connected is added in the timing, the charges of the second node N2 in the Nth row of pixel driving circuits 21 can all be leaked to the first node N1 in the Nth row of pixel driving circuits 21, and the technical effect of increasing the potential of the first node N1 in the Nth row of pixel driving circuits 21 can be achieved, as well as the potential of the first node N1 in the 1st to N-1th row of pixel driving circuits 21, thereby avoiding the problem of bright and dark lines and making the picture display of the display panel 100 more uniform.
[0064] It should be supplemented that the "scanning signal terminal SP1" refers to the scanning signal terminal in the pixel driving circuit of the first row in two adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21, and the "scanning signal terminal SP2" refers to the scanning signal terminal in the pixel driving circuit of the second row in two adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21.
[0065] Please continue to refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 Optionally, within one frame scanning time, a second time period is included between the end point at which the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 of the pixel driving circuit 21 of the first row receives the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13 and the end point at which the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 of the pixel driving circuit 21 of the Nth row receives the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13; the duration of the second time period is A, and the duration of the first time period is B;
[0066] Among them, A<B.
[0067] Specifically, take the example that each of the first gate driving circuit 110 and the second gate driving circuit 120 is electrically connected to two adjacent rows of pixel driving circuits 21; the end point at which the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 of the first row of pixel driving circuits 21 receives the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13 and the end point at which the scanning signal terminal SP1 / SP2 of the second row of pixel driving circuits 21 receives the scanning driving signal transmitted by the third gate driving unit 13 include a second time period (A), where the duration of the second time period is A and the duration of the aforementioned first time period is B for illustration; the present application provides an optional setting method, in which the duration A of the second time period is set to be less than the duration B of the first time period.
[0068] Among them, the duration B of the first time period is the time when the charge of the second node N2 in the pixel driving circuit 21 for the second row can be completely leaked to the first node N1; the sum of the duration B of the first time period and the duration A of the second time period is the time when the charge of the second node N2 in the pixel driving circuit 21 for the first row can be completely leaked to the first node N1. It should be added that the charge of the second node N2 in the pixel driving circuit 21 for the first row can be completely leaked to the first node N1 without using the entire duration A+B.
[0069] The present application sets the duration B of the first time period to be longer, so as to ensure that the charge of the second node N2 is completely leaked to the first node N1 within the first time period B, so that the potential of the first node N1 in the second row pixel driving circuit 21 can be increased like the potential of the first node N1 in the first row pixel driving circuit 21, thereby avoiding the problem of interlaced bright and dark lines, and making the picture display of the display panel 100 more uniform.

[0072] The duration of the first time period is B, B = Q / Iv;
