[0058] 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.

[0059] 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 term "comprising" and any variation 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 clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0060] As mentioned in the background technology, the pixel circuit leakage current of the existing display panel is relatively large, which causes the display panel to flicker during display and cannot display stably. After careful research, the applicant found that the reason for this technical problem is that when driven at a low frequency, the leakage current of the driving transistor of the pixel circuit is relatively large, the gate voltage of the driving transistor cannot be maintained for a long time, and the unstable gate voltage causes the generated driving current to be unstable, so that the display panel flickers during display.

[0061] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a pixel driving circuit. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 The pixel driving circuit includes: a driving module 101, a data writing module 102, an adjustment module 103 and a light emitting module 105; the data writing module 102 is used to write the received data voltage signal Vdata into the first end of the driving module 101; the adjustment module 103 is electrically connected to the first end N1 of the driving module 101, and the adjustment module 103 is used to adjust and reset the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101 during the data holding stage; the second end of the driving module 101 is connected to the light emitting module 105, the driving module 101 is used to generate a driving current according to the data voltage signal Vdata, and the light emitting module 105 is used to respond to the driving current and emit light.

[0062] Among them, in the data writing stage, the data writing module 102 can write the data voltage signal Vdata into the driving module 101; in the light-emitting stage, the driving module 101 can generate a corresponding driving current according to the data voltage signal Vdata, and the light-emitting module 105 is, for example, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and the light-emitting module 105 can emit light in response to the driving current to display the brightness to be displayed.

[0063] Specifically, the data holding stage is a stage between the data writing stage and the light emitting stage. In the data holding stage, the regulating module 103 can write the regulating voltage to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, adjust the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, and reset the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101; and, since the driving module 101 is turned on in the data holding stage, the second terminal of the driving module 101 can be reset at the same time. For example, in low-frequency driving, the data holding stage lasts for a long time, and the driving module 101 is in the on state for a long time, so that the driving module 101 is biased for a long time, resulting in the characteristic drift of the driving module 101, and the generated driving current is unstable; by writing the regulating voltage to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 in the data holding stage by the regulating module 103, adjusting the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, the first terminal N1 and the second terminal of the driving module 101 can be reset, and the bias state of the driving module 101 can be adjusted, so that the driving module 101 generates a stable driving current, thereby improving the display effect. Exemplarily, the regulating voltage written by the regulating module 103 may be a high-level voltage or a low-level voltage, which may be specifically determined according to actual conditions; for example, when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at high brightness for a long time, the voltage at the control end of the driving module 101 is relatively low, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control end of the driving module 101 and the first end N1, in which case a low-level voltage may be written to the first end of the driving module 101 to reduce the voltage difference between the control end of the driving module 101 and the first end N1, thereby reducing the change in the driving current and improving the flickering problem during high grayscale display; when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage at the control end of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101, in which case a high-level voltage may be written to the first end of the driving module 101 to reduce the voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the change in the driving current and improving the flickering problem during low grayscale display, thereby improving the flickering problem of the display panel during high, medium and low grayscale display.

[0064] In addition, the adjustment module 103 can also adjust the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 during the initialization stage, and write the same adjustment potential to the driving module 101 when displaying different gray scales, so that when displaying different gray scales, the initialization effect can be guaranteed to be consistent, and different driving currents corresponding to different gray scales can be avoided, so that the display effects of different gray scales remain consistent, and the flickering problem of the display panel when displaying high, medium and low gray scales is improved.

[0065] The technical solution of this embodiment, the pixel driving circuit includes: a driving module, a data writing module, an adjustment module and a light-emitting module; in the data holding stage, the adjustment module can write an adjustment voltage to the first end of the driving module, adjust the potential of the first end of the driving module, and reset the first end of the driving module; and, since the driving module is turned on in the data holding stage, the second end of the driving module can be reset at the same time. For example, in low-frequency driving, the data holding stage lasts for a long time, and the driving module is in a conducting state for a long time, so that the driving module is biased for a long time, resulting in the characteristic drift of the driving module, and the generated driving current is unstable; by writing an adjustment voltage to the first end of the driving module in the data holding stage by the adjustment module, adjusting the potential of the first end of the driving module, the first end and the second end of the driving module can be reset, and the bias state of the driving module can be adjusted, so that the driving module generates a stable driving current, and the change of the driving current is reduced, thereby improving the flickering problem of the display panel when displaying high, medium and low grayscales, and improving the display effect. Furthermore, the regulating module can also regulate the potential of the first end of the driving module during the initialization phase, and write the same regulating potential to the driving module when displaying different grayscales, so that when displaying different grayscales, the initialization effect can be guaranteed to be consistent, and the driving currents corresponding to different grayscales can be avoided to be different, so that the display effects of different grayscales are kept consistent. The technical solution of this embodiment solves the problem of flickering of the display panel during display and the problem of inability to display stably, and achieves the effect of stable display.

[0066] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of another pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The regulating module 103 includes a first regulating unit 1031; the control end of the first regulating unit 1031 is connected to the first scanning signal Scan1, the first end of the first regulating unit 1031 is connected to the second scanning signal Scan2, the second end of the first regulating unit 1031 is electrically connected to the first end N1 of the driving module 101, and the first regulating unit 1031 is used to write the second scanning signal Scan2 into the first end N1 of the driving module according to the first scanning signal Scan1.

[0067] Specifically, the first scanning signal Scan1 can control the on and off of the first regulating unit 1031; when the first scanning signal Scan1 controls the first regulating unit 1031 to be turned on, the first regulating unit 1031 can write the second scanning signal Scan2 into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, thereby adjusting the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 and resetting the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101. The second scan signal Scan2 can be determined according to specific circuit requirements. For example, when the light emitting module 105 is displayed at high brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is relatively low, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal of the driving module 101 and the first terminal N1. The second scan signal Scan2 can be a low-level voltage. The first adjustment unit 1031 writes the low-level voltage to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, which can reduce the voltage difference between the control terminal of the driving module 101 and the first terminal N1, thereby reducing the change of the driving current and improving the flickering problem during high grayscale display; when the light emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101. The second scan signal Scan2 can be a high level, and the first adjustment unit 1031 can write a high-level voltage to the first terminal of the driving module 101, reduce the voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101, reduce the change of the driving current, improve the flickering problem during low grayscale display, and thus improve the flickering problem of the display panel during high, medium and low grayscale display.

[0068] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 2 The first regulating unit 1031 includes a first transistor T1, a first end of the first transistor T1 is the first end of the first regulating unit 1031, a second end of the first transistor T1 is the second end of the first regulating unit 1031, and a control end of the first transistor T1 is the control end of the first regulating unit 1031.

[0069] Specifically, the first adjustment unit 1031 includes, for example, a first transistor T1, which is, for example, a P-type transistor. In the data holding stage, the first scan signal Scan1 may be a low-level signal to control the first transistor T1 to be turned on, and the first transistor T1 may write the second scan signal Scan2 into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, thereby adjusting the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 and resetting the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101. It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first transistor T1 may also be other types of transistors, which are not limited here.

[0070] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a structure of another pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3The regulating module 103 includes a second regulating unit 1032 ; a first end of the second regulating unit 1032 is connected to the first scanning signal Scan1 , a second end of the second regulating unit 1032 is electrically connected to the first end of the driving module 101 , and the second regulating unit 1032 is used to increase the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101 .

[0071] Specifically, the adjustment module 103 may also include a second adjustment unit 1032, and the second adjustment unit 1032 may couple the first scanning signal Scan1 to the first end N1 of the driving module 101. For example, when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the control end voltage of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a high level, the second adjustment unit 1032 couples the first scanning signal Scan1 to the first end N1 of the driving module 101, which can increase the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101, reducing the change of the driving current, and improving the flicker problem during low grayscale display.

[0072] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 3 The second regulating unit 1032 includes a first capacitor C1; a first end of the first capacitor C1 is a first end of the second regulating unit 1032, and a second end of the first capacitor C1 is a second end of the second regulating unit 1032.

[0073] Specifically, the second regulating unit 1032 includes, for example, a first capacitor C1, which can couple the first scan signal Scan1 to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101. When the first scan signal Scan1 is at a high level, the high level signal can be coupled to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101.

[0074] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of another pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The regulating module 103 includes a third regulating unit 1033; the control end of the third regulating unit 1033 is connected to the first scan signal Scan1, the first end of the third regulating unit 1033 is connected to the first power signal VDD, the second end of the third regulating unit 1033 is electrically connected to the first end N1 of the driving module 101, and the third regulating unit 1033 is used to increase the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101.

[0075] Specifically, the regulating module 103 may also include a third regulating unit 1033, the control end of the third regulating unit 1033 is connected to the first scanning signal Scan1, and the first scanning signal Scan1 can control the conduction and shutdown of the third regulating unit 1033; when the first scanning signal Scan1 controls the third regulating unit 1033 to be turned on, the third regulating unit 1033 can write the first power signal VDD into the first end N1 of the driving module 101, thereby increasing the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101; for example, when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the control end voltage of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101. The third regulating unit 1033 writes the first power signal VDD into the first end N1 of the driving module 101, which can increase the potential of the first end N1 of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the voltage difference between the control end and the second end of the driving module 101, reducing the change of the driving current, and improving the flickering problem during low grayscale display. Furthermore, the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 can be kept consistent when displaying different grayscales, thereby avoiding the problem of display difference caused by inconsistent potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 under high, medium and low brightness, thereby making the full grayscale picture consistent, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

[0076] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 4 The third regulating unit 1033 includes a second transistor T2; the first end of the second transistor T2 is the first end of the third regulating unit 1033, the second end of the second transistor T2 is the second end of the third regulating unit 1033, and the control end of the second transistor T2 is the control end of the third regulating unit 1033.

[0077] Specifically, the third adjustment unit 1033, for example, includes a second transistor T2, and the second transistor T2 is, for example, a P-type transistor.

[0082] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a driving method of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 5 , the driving method of the pixel driving circuit includes:

[0083] S510 , in the data writing stage, the data writing module writes the received data voltage signal into the driving module.

[0084] Specifically, Figure 6 is a timing diagram corresponding to a driving method of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 is a timing diagram corresponding to another driving method of a pixel driving circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 6 or Figure 7In the data writing stage, i.e., stage t1, the third scanning signal Scan3 is at a low level, the data writing module 102 is turned on, and the data writing module 102 writes the data voltage signal Vdata into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101; at the same time, the scanning signal Scan3' is at a high level, the threshold compensation module 104 is turned on, and the threshold compensation module 104 captures the threshold voltage of the driving module 101 to the control terminal of the driving module 101, and performs threshold compensation on the driving module 101, so that the driving module 101 can better generate a driving current according to the data voltage signal Vdata, and the light-emitting module 105 can accurately display the brightness to be displayed.

[0085] And, reference Figure 7 and Figure 3 In the stage t1 , the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a low level, and the second initialization module 107 can be turned on, and the second initialization module 107 initializes the light emitting module 105 .

[0086] S520 , in the data holding stage, the regulating module regulates and resets the potential of the first end of the driving module.

[0087] Exemplary, reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the data holding stage, i.e., stage t2, the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first transistor T1 writes the second scanning signal Scan2 into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101. The second scanning signal Scan2 can be at a high level or a low level. Figure 6 Only the case of low level is shown, but it is not limited. The value of the second scan signal Scan2 can be determined according to the specific situation. For example, when the light emitting module 105 is displayed at high brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is low, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal of the driving module 101 and the first terminal N1. The second scan signal Scan2 can be a low level voltage. Writing the low level voltage to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 can reduce the voltage difference between the control terminal of the driving module 101 and the first terminal N1, thereby reducing the change of the driving current and improving the flickering problem during high grayscale display; when the light emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101.

The second transistor T2 writes the first power supply signal VDD into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, which can increase the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101, reducing the change of the driving current, and improving the flickering problem during low grayscale display. In addition, the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 can be kept consistent when different grayscales are displayed, thereby avoiding the problem of inconsistent potentials of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 under high, medium and low brightness, resulting in display differences, thereby keeping the full grayscale picture consistent, which is conducive to improving the display effect.

[0089] In addition, reference Figure 6 In the stage t2 , the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a low level, which can control the second initialization module 107 to be turned on, and the second initialization module 107 initializes the light-emitting module 105 .

For example, when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a high level, the first capacitor C1 couples the first scanning signal Scan1 to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, which can increase the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101, reducing the change of the driving current, and improving the flicker problem during low grayscale display.

The second scanning signal Scan2 can be at a high level or a low level. The value of the second scanning signal Scan2 can be determined according to the specific situation. For example, when the light emitting module 105 is displayed at high brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is low, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal of the driving module 101 and the first terminal N1. The second scanning signal Scan2 can be a low level voltage, and the low level voltage is written into the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101. , the voltage difference between the control terminal and the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101 can be reduced, thereby reducing the change of the driving current and further improving the flicker problem during high grayscale display; when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage at the control terminal of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101.

For example, when the light-emitting module 105 is displayed at low brightness for a long time, the voltage of the control terminal of the driving module 101 is relatively high, resulting in a large voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101. When the first scanning signal Scan1 is at a high level, the first capacitor C1 couples the first scanning signal Scan1 to the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, which can increase the potential of the first terminal N1 of the driving module 101, thereby reducing the voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal of the driving module 101, reducing the change of the driving current, and further improving the flicker problem during low grayscale display.
