[0270] In addition, in Figure 10 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in the figure, T1 is a normally-on transistor, which can protect T2; when the potential of N0 jumps, T1 can alleviate the excessive gate-source voltage of T2 by voltage division; at the same time, T1 is equivalent to a stable MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) capacitor, which can effectively stabilize the potential of N0, alleviate the interference of the potential of N1, the potential of N4 and the signal line (for example, S0, S1 and S2) on the potential of N0, and improve Flicker (flicker) at low frequency.
[0271] In Figure 10 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown in the figure,
[0272] △V(N0) = V(N0) x C0z / (C1z + Cm + Cq);
[0273] Wherein, △V(N0) is the change amount of the potential of N0, C0z is the capacitance value of the formed capacitor between N0 and N4, C1z is the capacitance value of C1, Cm is the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitor between the gate of T1 and N0, and Cq is the capacitance value of the formed capacitor between N0 and other nodes except N4; V(N0) is the potential of N0.

By setting the voltage value of the first initial voltage to be greater than the voltage value of the second initial voltage (for example, the voltage value of the first initial voltage can be about -2.2V, and the voltage value of the second initial voltage can be about -2.5V), the voltage difference between the driving control node N0 and the first initial voltage terminal I1 is small, and the leakage phenomenon is improved.
[0275] When the pixel circuit is in a high-brightness display mode, since the voltage value of the second low-voltage signal is reduced to achieve high brightness, the voltage value of the second initial voltage can also be reduced accordingly (at this time, the voltage value of the second initial voltage can be related to the voltage value of the second low-voltage signal), and the voltage value of the first initial voltage can be greater than the voltage value of the second initial voltage to reduce or minimize the leakage current from N0 to I1.
[0276] When the pixel circuit is in the low brightness display mode, since the voltage value of the second low voltage signal is correspondingly raised to realize low brightness, the voltage value of the second initial voltage can also be correspondingly raised (at this time, the voltage value of the second initial voltage can be related to the voltage value of the second low voltage signal), and the voltage value of the second initial voltage can be greater than the voltage value of the first initial voltage, so that the leakage current of the driving control node to the second initial voltage end is reduced.

[0336] In Figure 14 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown, T1 is a normally-on transistor.
[0337] In Figure 14 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown, T1 is a normally-on transistor, which can protect T2. When the potential of N0 jumps, T1 can alleviate the gate-source voltage of T2 by voltage division. Meanwhile, T1 is equivalent to a stable MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) capacitor, which can effectively stabilize the potential of N0 and alleviate the interference of the potential of N0 by the potential of N1, the potential of N4 and the signal lines (e.g., S0, S1 and S2), especially at low frequency, which can improve Flicker.

By setting the voltage value of the first initial voltage to be greater than the voltage value of the second initial voltage (e.g., the voltage value of the first initial voltage can be about -2.2V, and the voltage value of the second initial voltage can be about -2.5V), the voltage difference between the driving control node N0 and the first initial voltage terminal I1 is small, and the leakage phenomenon is improved.
