[0075] In the current OLED pixel circuit, a 7T1C circuit structure is generally adopted. There is a parasitic capacitance between the gate of the driving transistor and the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b. When driving the OLED to emit light, for each frame of signal, the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b needs to be initialized. At this time, a voltage change ΔV occurs in the voltage of the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b. This voltage change ΔV is coupled to the gate of the driving transistor through the parasitic capacitance, resulting in fluctuations in the OLED driving current.

[0086] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, the reset transistor T1 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 and is configured to reset the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3. The reset transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b and is configured to reset the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b. The initialization signal line INT1 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 through the reset transistor T1. The initialization signal line INT2 is connected to the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b through the reset transistor T7. For example, the initialization signal line INT1 and the initialization signal line INT2 are connected to provide the same initialization signal, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the initialization signal line INT1 and the initialization signal line INT2 may also be insulated from each other and are configured to provide signals separately.
[0087] For example, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the first pole T1a of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the initialization signal line INT1, the second pole T1b of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3, the first pole T7a of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the initialization signal line INT2, and the second pole T7b of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b. For example, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the reset control signal line RST1, and the gate T7g of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the reset control signal line RST2.
[0088] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the first power supply line PL1 is configured to provide the first voltage signal VDD to the pixel circuit 100a; the pixel circuit further includes a capacitor C1. The first plate C11 of the capacitor C1 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3, and the second plate C12 of the capacitor C1 is connected to the first power supply line PL1 and the first pole T5a of the light-emitting control transistor T5, respectively.
[0089] For example, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the display panel further includes a second power supply line PL2, and the second power supply line PL2 is connected to the second electrode E2 of the light-emitting element 100b. Figures 1 to 6 The first node N1, the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4 are shown.
[0090] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the gate line GT includes a gate line GT1 and a gate line GT2. The gate line GT1 is connected to the gate T2g of the threshold compensation transistor T2. The gate line GT2 is connected to the gate T4g of the data writing transistor T4. For example, in a sub-pixel, the gate line GT1 is configured to provide the n-th row scan signal SCAN(N)(n), and the gate line GT2 is configured to provide the n-th row scan signal SCAN(P)(n).
[0091] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C1. A first electrode plate C11 of the capacitor C1 is connected to a gate T3g of the driving transistor T3, and the first electrode plate C11 of the capacitor C1 is respectively connected to the reset transistor T1 and the threshold compensation transistor T2. For example, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the first electrode plate C11 of the capacitor C1 is respectively connected to a second electrode T1b of the reset transistor T1 and a second electrode T2b of the threshold compensation transistor T2.
[0092] The P-type thin film transistor has higher mobility and a more stable source voltage, and is suitable for driving the light-emitting element. The N-type thin film transistor has lower leakage current and can better maintain the voltage stability of the driving transistor T3 and the capacitor C1.
[0093] For example, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, both the threshold compensation transistor T2 and the reset transistor T1 are oxide thin film transistors, and the remaining transistors T3-T7 are all low temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors. Thus, the display panel provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure adopts a low temperature polycrystalline-oxide (LTPO) pixel circuit to improve the display quality.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, both the driving transistor T3 and the data writing transistor T4 are P-type thin film transistors, and both the threshold compensation transistor T2 and the reset transistor T1 are N-type thin film transistors.
[0095] For example, in some drawings, SCAN(N)(n) represents the gate line of the N-type thin film transistor in the nth row, that is, the scan signal on the gate line GT1. SCAN(P)(n) represents the gate line of the P-type thin film transistor in the nth row, that is, the scan signal on the gate line GT2. SCAN(N)(n-1) represents the scan signal on the reset control signal line of the N-type thin film transistor in the (n-1)th row, and can also represent the scan signal on the gate line of the N-type thin film transistor in the (n-1)th row. As Figures 2 to 6 shown, the gate T2g of the threshold compensation transistor T2 is cascaded to the nth stage of the GOA to be provided with the scan signal of the nth row. The gate T1g of the reset transistor T1 is cascaded to the (n-1)th stage of the GOA to be provided with the scan signal of the (n-1)th row.

[0096] As Figures 2 to 8 shown, the display panel provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a substrate substrate BS, a sub-pixel 100, and a first power supply line PL1.
[0097] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the sub-pixel 100 is located on the substrate BS. The sub-pixel 100 includes a pixel circuit 100a and a light-emitting element 100b. The pixel circuit 100a is configured to drive the light-emitting element 100b. The light-emitting element 100b includes a first electrode E1, a second electrode E2, and a light-emitting functional layer FL located between the first electrode E1 and the second electrode E2.
[0098] For example, as Figure 8 shown, the light-emitting functional layer FL is located between the first electrode E1 and the second electrode E2. The light-emitting functional layer FL includes a light-emitting layer. For example, the light-emitting functional layer FL may further include at least one of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, and a hole injection layer. The types and numbers of the film layers included in the light-emitting functional layer FL can be determined as needed.
[0099] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the first power supply line PL1 is configured to provide a constant first voltage signal (first power supply voltage) VDD to the pixel circuit 100a. The pixel circuit 100a includes a driving transistor T3 and a capacitor C1 provided between the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 and the first power supply line PL1. The first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b is connected to the first pole of the driving transistor T3.
[0100] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the capacitor C1 includes a first electrode plate C11 and a second electrode plate C12. As Figure 8 shown, an interlayer dielectric layer ILD1 is provided between the first electrode plate C11 and the second electrode plate C12. The capacitor C1 is a storage capacitor for storing the gate voltage of the driving transistor T3.
[0101] For example, C1 = ε * ε0 * S / d; where: S is the facing area of the two electrode plates of the capacitor, in square meters; d is the distance between the two electrode plates, in meters, ε is the relative dielectric constant of the insulating layer between the first electrode plate C11 and the second electrode plate C12; ε0 is the vacuum dielectric constant 8.85×10 -12 , in units of F / m.
[0102] The magnitude of the capacitor C1 determines the ability of the pixel circuit to hold the potential of the first node N1. A larger capacitor C1 is beneficial for maintaining the potential of the first node N1 in the pixel circuit for a longer time during low-frequency driving. However, during high-frequency driving, a larger capacitor C1 is not conducive to the reset transistor timely resetting the potential of the first node N1 to the initialization potential Vinit. Therefore, in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the range of the capacitor C1 is greater than 20.0 fF and less than 80.0 fF. That is, 20.0 fF < C1 < 80.0 fF. For example, the range of the capacitor C1 is greater than 30.0 fF and less than 70.0 fF. Further for example, the range of the capacitor C1 is greater than 40.0 fF and less than 60.0 fF.
[0103] As Figures 2 to 8 shown, the pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C2 provided between the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b and the first power supply line PL1. As Figures 2 to 8 shown, the capacitor C2 includes a first plate C21 and a second plate C22. The capacitor C2 is connected to the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b and the first power supply line PL1 respectively, which can reduce the voltage fluctuation of the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b and improve the brightness uniformity.
[0104] Figure 2 The pixel circuit shown Figure 1 has added a capacitor C2 compared to the pixel circuit shown Figure 1 The other parts are the same as the normal pixel circuit shown Figure 1 In the normal pixel circuit, within the time of each frame, the voltage on the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b needs to be initialized. The voltage on the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b is initialized to Vinit2. Since the voltage on the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b is different within the time of each frame, and this voltage is related to the data voltage on the write data line, during initialization, the voltage change amount △V on the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b is different. This voltage change amount △V will be coupled to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 through the parasitic capacitance, causing a change in the driving current of the light-emitting element 100b. In the pixel circuit of the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a capacitor C2 is added between the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b and the first power supply line PL1. This voltage change amount △V is released to the first power supply line PL1 through the capacitor C2, reducing the voltage coupled to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 through the parasitic capacitance.
[0105] As Figure 8 shown, a planarization layer PLN2 is provided between the first plate C21 and the second plate C22.
[0106] For example, C2 = ε * ε0 * S / d; where: S is the area of the opposing surfaces of the two plates of the capacitor, in square meters; d is the distance between the two plates, in meters, and ε is the relative permittivity of the insulating layer between the first plate C21 and the second plate C22; ε0 is the permittivity of free space 8.85×10 -12 , with the unit F / m.
[0107] To reduce the voltage coupled to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3 through the parasitic capacitance, resulting in large fluctuations in the voltage on the gate T3g, in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the capacitance C2 ranges from greater than 41.0 fF to less than 130.0 fF. That is, 41.0 fF < C2 < 130.0 fF.
[0108] For example, the capacitance C2 ranges from greater than 50.0 fF to less than 120.0 fF. Further for example, the capacitance C2 ranges from greater than 70.0 fF to less than 110.0 fF. Further for example, the capacitance C2 ranges from greater than 80.0 fF to less than 100.0 fF.
[0109] For example, in some embodiments, C1 < C2.
[0110] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the reset control signal line RST1, the first pole T1a of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the initialization signal line INT1, the second pole T2a of the reset transistor T1 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3, the reset transistor T1 is configured to reset the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3, and the pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C3 provided between the gate of the reset transistor T1 and the first power supply line PL1. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the capacitor C3 includes a first plate C31 and a second plate C32.
[0111] Compared with the pixel circuit shown in Figure 2 , the pixel circuit shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 has an additional capacitor C3. The second plate C32 of the capacitor C3 is connected to the first power supply line PL1, the first plate C31 of the capacitor C3 is connected to the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1, and the high-frequency component of the signal SCAN(N)(n)(RESET1) on the reset control signal line RST1 will be released to the first power supply line PL1 through the capacitor C3, reducing the coupling of this high-frequency component to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the reset transistor T1 and avoiding fluctuations in the driving current of the driving transistor T3.
[0112] For example, C3 = ε * ε0 * S / d; where: S is the facing area of the two plates of the capacitor, in square meters; d is the distance between the two plates, in meters, ε is the relative permittivity of the insulating layer between the first plate C31 and the second plate C32; ε0 is the permittivity of free space 8.85×10 -12 , in units of F / m.
[0113] To reduce the coupling of the above high-frequency components to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the reset transistor T1 and avoid fluctuations in the driving current of the driving transistor T3; in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the capacitance C3 ranges from greater than 0.5 fF to less than 3.0 fF. That is, 0.5 fF < C3 < 3 fF.
[0114] For example, in some embodiments, C3 < C1, C3 < C2. For example, in some embodiments, C3 < C1 < C2.
[0115] As Figure 4 shown, in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the pixel circuit 100a further includes a threshold compensation transistor T2. The first pole T2a of the threshold compensation transistor T2 is connected to the first pole T1a of the driving transistor T3. The second pole T2b of the threshold compensation transistor T2 is connected to the gate T3g of the driving transistor T3. The pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C4 provided between the gate T2g of the threshold compensation transistor T2 and the first power line PL1. As Figure 4 shown, the capacitor C4 includes a first plate C41 and a second plate C42.
[0116] Compared with Figure 3 the pixel circuit shown, Figure 4 the pixel circuit shown in
[0117] adds a capacitor C4. The second plate C42 of the capacitor C4 is connected to the first power line PL1. The first plate C41 of the capacitor C4 is connected to the gate T2g of the threshold compensation transistor T2. The high-frequency components of the signal SCAN(N)(n) on the gate line GT1 will be released to the first power line PL1 through the capacitor C4, reducing the coupling of this high-frequency component to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the threshold compensation transistor T2 and avoiding fluctuations in the driving current of the driving transistor T3. Figure 2 It should be noted that a capacitor C4 can also be added on the basis of the pixel circuit shown in
[0118] For example, C4 = ε * ε0 * S / d; where: S is the facing area of the two plates of the capacitor, in square meters; d is the distance between the two plates, in meters, ε is the relative permittivity of the insulating layer between the first plate C41 and the second plate C42; ε0 is the permittivity of free space 8.85×10 -12, unit F / m.
[0119] To reduce the coupling of the above high-frequency components to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the threshold compensation transistor T2 and avoid fluctuations in the driving current of the driving transistor T3; in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the capacitance C4 ranges from greater than 0.5 fF to less than 3.0 fF. That is, 0.5 fF < C4 < 3 fF. For example, in some embodiments, C4 < C1, C4 < C2. For example, in some embodiments, C4 < C1 < C2.

The initialization signal line INT2 is configured to provide a second initialization signal Vinit2 to the pixel circuit 100a. The pixel circuit 100a further includes a reset transistor T7, and the reset transistor T7 is configured to reset the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b. The first pole T7a of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the initialization signal line INT2, the second pole T7b of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the first electrode E1 of the light-emitting element 100b, and the gate T7g of the reset transistor T7 is connected to the reset control signal line RST2. The pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C5 provided between the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1 and the initialization signal line INT2.
[0121] As Figure 6 shown, in the display panel provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the pixel circuit 100a further includes a capacitor C5 provided between the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1 and the initialization signal line INT1.
[0122] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the capacitor C5 includes a first electrode plate C51 and a second electrode plate C52.
[0123] Based on the pixel circuit shown in Figure 2 adding the capacitor C5, the first electrode plate C51 of the capacitor C5 is connected to the initialization signal line INT1 or the initialization signal line INT2, and the second electrode plate C52 of the capacitor C5 is connected to the gate T1g of the reset transistor T1. The high-frequency components of the signal RESET1 on the reset control signal line RST1 will be released to the initialization signal line INT1 or the initialization signal line INT2 through the capacitor C5, reducing the coupling of this high-frequency component to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the reset transistor T1 and avoiding fluctuations in the driving current of the driving transistor T3.
[0124] For example, C5 = ε * ε0 * S / d; where: S is the facing area of the two plates of the capacitor, in square meters; d is the distance between the two plates, in meters, ε is the relative permittivity of the insulating layer between the first plate C51 and the second plate C52; ε0 is the vacuum permittivity 8.85×10 -12 , in F / m.
[0125] In order to reduce the coupling of the above high-frequency components to the first node N1 through the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the reset transistor T1 and avoid the driving current fluctuation of the driving transistor T3. In the display panel provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, the capacitance C5 ranges from greater than 1.0 fF and less than 10.0 fF. That is, 1.0 fF < C5 < 10.0 fF. For example, in some embodiments, C5 < C1, C5 < C2. For example, in some embodiments, C5 < C1 < C2.

For example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the threshold compensation transistor T2 is an oxide transistor, and the oxide transistor has a double-gate structure. The double-gate structure means that the gate of the transistor includes a bottom gate and a top gate.

Thus, the driving current of the driving transistor T3 is more stable, the light-emitting efficiency of the light-emitting element is more stable, and the display quality is improved.

[0269] In the light-emitting phase P4, the light-emitting control transistors T5 and T6 are in the conducting state. The first voltage signal VDD is transmitted through the light-emitting control transistor T5 to the second pole of the driving transistor T3.
