[0110] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific working process of the above pixel driving circuit in each display cycle includes:
[0111] During reset period P1, under the control of the second control signal output from the second control terminal SnB, the first reset sub-circuit controls the electrical connection between the control terminal of the driver sub-circuit and the initialization signal output terminal Init, transmits the initialization signal to the control terminal N1 of the driver sub-circuit, and resets the potential of the control terminal N1 of the driver sub-circuit to the potential Vinit of the initialization signal. Under the control of the third control signal output from the third control terminal AZn-1, the second reset sub-circuit controls the electrical connection between the second terminal N2 of the first coupling sub-circuit and the first level signal output terminal VDD, transmits the first level signal to the second terminal N2 of the first coupling sub-circuit, and resets the potential of the second terminal N2 of the first coupling sub-circuit to the potential Vdd of the first level signal.

[0112] During compensation period P2, under the control of a second control signal output from the second control terminal SnB, the first reset sub-circuit controls the disconnection between the control terminal of the driver sub-circuit and the initialization signal output terminal Init. Under the control of a third control signal output from the third control terminal AZn-1, the second reset sub-circuit continues to control the disconnection between the second terminal of the first coupling sub-circuit and the first level signal output terminal VDD, maintaining the potential of the second terminal N2 of the first coupling sub-circuit at Vdd. Under the control of a write control signal output from the write control terminal Sn, the data write sub-circuit controls the disconnection between the second terminal of the second coupling sub-circuit and the data signal input terminal DA. Under the control of a first control signal output from the first control terminal AZn, the compensation sub-circuit controls the disconnection between the control terminal of the driver sub-circuit and the second terminal of the driver sub-circuit. The driver sub-circuit connects the first level signal output terminal VDD to the compensation sub-circuit until the threshold voltage of the driver sub-circuit is written to the control terminal of the driver sub-circuit, causing the potential of the control terminal N1 of the driver sub-circuit to reach Vdd-|Vth_T3|, where Vth_T3 is the threshold voltage corresponding to the driver sub-circuit.
[0113] During the light-emitting period P3, under the control of the second control signal output from the second control terminal SnB, the first reset sub-circuit controls the disconnection of the electrical connection between the control terminal of the driving sub-circuit and the initialization signal output terminal Init; under the control of the third control signal output from the third control terminal AZn-1, the second reset sub-circuit controls the disconnection of the electrical connection between the second terminal of the first coupling sub-circuit and the first level signal output terminal VDD; under the control of the write control signal output from the write control terminal Sn, the data write sub-circuit controls the disconnection of the electrical connection between the second terminal of the second coupling sub-circuit and the data signal input terminal DA; under the control of the first control signal output from the first control terminal AZn, the compensation sub-circuit controls the disconnection of the control terminal of the driving sub-circuit and the second terminal of the driving sub-circuit an electrical connection between the first and second coupling subcircuits; under the control of the light-emitting control signal outputted from the light-emitting control terminal EM, the first light-emitting control subcircuit controls the electrical connection between the second terminal of the second coupling subcircuit and the reference signal output terminal Ref, so that the potential of the second terminal N3 of the second coupling subcircuit changes from Vdata to the potential Vref of the reference signal; since the control terminal N1 of the driving subcircuit is in a suspended state during the light-emitting period P3, the potential of N1 will also have a voltage change of Vref-Vdata, so that the potential of N1 becomes Vdd-|Vth_T3|+Vref-Vdata; the driving subcircuit conducts the electrical connection between the first level signal output terminal VDD and the light-emitting element EL, and transmits the generated driving signal to the light-emitting element EL.
[0114] The generated driving signal includes a current signal, which is:
[0115] Ioled=β*(Vgs-Vth_T3) 2 =β*(Vref-Vdata) 2
