[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Based on the content of the background technology, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit structure in the prior art. If the driving transistor T3 is in the same bias state for a long time, it is easy to have a threshold drift, which affects the generated driving current and further affects the luminous effect of the display panel. In order to solve this technical problem, in the prior art, a control Figure 1 The middle transistor T5 receives different signals in different working stages of the pixel circuit to control the driving transistor T3, thereby reducing the threshold drift problem of the driving transistor T3, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0046] In order to enable the transistor T5 to receive different signals in different working stages of the pixel circuit, it is necessary to add a set of independent shift register circuits to provide the input signal DVINI for the transistor T5. This also leads to a large number of shift register circuits located in the border area of ​​the display panel, which is not conducive to the narrow border design of the display panel.

[0047] Based on this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, which can reduce the number of shift register circuits in the border area of ​​the display panel by improving the pixel circuit while solving the threshold drift problem of the driving transistor, thereby realizing a narrow border design of the display panel.

[0048] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a display panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the display panel includes a plurality of pixels 11. In order to achieve full-color display of the display panel, the plurality of pixels 11 may optionally include pixels for emitting green light, pixels for emitting blue light, and pixels for emitting red light.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a pixel provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the pixel includes: a light-emitting element Q, and a pixel circuit 12 electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q, the pixel circuit 12 includes a driving transistor T3, a data writing transistor T2, a threshold compensation transistor T4, a first reset transistor T8, a bias transistor T5 and a light-emitting control module 13.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first end of the driving transistor T3.

[0052] The threshold compensation transistor T4 is connected in series between the gate of the driving transistor T3 and the second end of the driving transistor T3, and is used for detecting and self-compensating for the deviation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3.

[0053] The first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second end of the driving transistor T3.

[0054] The bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second end of the driving transistor T3.

[0055] The light emitting control module 13 is connected in series with the driving transistor T3 and the light emitting element Q respectively, and is used to control whether the driving current flows through the light emitting element Q.

[0056] The transistor type of the data writing transistor T2 is the same as the transistor type of the first reset transistor T8 .

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data writing transistor T2 writes the data signal V data to the driving transistor T3, and the driving transistor T3 is connected to the driving transistor T3 according to the data signal V data A driving current is generated, and the light control module 13 controls whether the driving current flows through the light emitting element Q, thereby controlling the display state of the light emitting element Q.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the bias transistor T5 in the pixel circuit 12 is used to bias the second end of the driving transistor T3 to solve the problem of threshold drift of the driving transistor T3, and the gate of the driving transistor T3 is reset by the first reset transistor T8. That is to say, at this time, the bias transistor T5 in the pixel circuit 12 only needs to receive a signal that can bias the second end of the driving transistor T3. The received signal for biasing the second end of the driving transistor T3 can be a fixed signal, so there is no need to set up an independent shift register circuit to provide the bias signal to the bias transistor T5. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixed signal is taken as an example of a high-level signal DVH already in the display panel, and the high-level signal is a signal with a constant voltage.

[0059] Further, the transistor type of the data writing transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 12 is the same as the transistor type of the first reset transistor T8. For example, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 are both P-type transistors, then the enable level for controlling the data writing transistor T2 to be turned on and the enable level for controlling the first reset transistor T8 to be turned on are both low levels, or, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 are both N-type transistors, then the enable level for controlling the data writing transistor T2 to be turned on and the enable level for controlling the first reset transistor T8 to be turned on are both high levels. The first reset transistor T8 and the data writing transistor T2 of the pixel circuit 12 are turned on in time-sharing mode, and the signals provided by the adjacent two-stage shift registers in the same group of shift register circuits can be used to control the first reset transistor T8 and the data writing transistor T2 respectively. Obviously, the control of the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 can be realized simultaneously through a group of shift register circuits, thereby reducing the number of shift register circuits, thereby realizing the narrow frame design of the display panel, and ensuring the performance of the driving transistor T3, thereby ensuring the display effect of the display panel.

[0060] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another pixel structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown,

[0061] The gate of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n); the gate of the first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1).

[0062] For the pixel circuits 12 located in adjacent rows, the signal of the second scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1) electrically connected to the gate of the first reset transistor T8 of the pixel circuit 12 located in the current row (for example, the nth row) is the same as the signal of the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1) electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2 of the pixel circuit 12 located in the previous row (for example, the n-1th row).

[0063] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the gate of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n), and the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n) is used to output a first control signal for controlling the data writing transistor T2. The first control signal is a pulse signal. The effective pulse of the first control signal controls the data writing transistor T2 to be in a conducting state, so as to write the data signal V data The invalid pulse of the first control signal controls the data writing transistor T2 to be in the off state, that is, under the control of the first control signal, the data writing transistor T2 writes the data signal V data Provided to the first terminal of the driving transistor T3.

[0064] It should be noted that the data writing transistor T2 cooperates with the threshold compensation transistor T4 to write the data signal V data To the gate of the driving transistor T3, at this time, the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are both in the on state.

[0065] The gate of the first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n-1), and the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n-1) is used to output a second control signal for controlling the first reset transistor T8. The second control signal is a pulse signal. The effective pulse of the second control signal controls the first reset transistor T8 to be in the on state and provides the reference voltage to the second end of the driving transistor T3; the invalid pulse of the second control signal controls the first reset transistor T8 to be in the off state.

[0066] It should be noted that the first reset transistor T8 cooperates with the threshold compensation transistor T4 to reset the gate of the driving transistor T3. At this time, both the first reset transistor T8 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are in the on state.

[0067] The display panel includes a shift register circuit, and a shift register circuit includes a plurality of shift registers arranged in cascade connection. Each shift register is arranged corresponding to a row of pixel circuits, for example, the nth-stage shift register provides a control signal for the nth-row pixel circuit. The signal provided by the second scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1) to which the gate of the first reset transistor T8 in the pixel circuit 12 is electrically connected can be provided by the n-1th-stage shift register in the cascaded shift register, that is, the control signal provided by the shift register corresponding to the n-1th-row pixel circuit is borrowed, and the signal provided by the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n) to which the gate of the data write transistor T2 is electrically connected can be provided by the nth-stage shift register in the cascaded shift register, and the transistor type of the data write transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 12 is the same as the transistor type of the first reset transistor T8, and the first reset transistor T8 in the nth-row pixel circuit is provided by the nth-1th-stage shift register. The signal provided by the second scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1) electrically connected to the gate of the transistor T8 and the signal provided by the first scanning signal terminal SC_P(n-1) electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2 in the pixel circuit of the n-1th row can be provided by the same level of shift register (for example, the n-1th level), that is, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 in the pixel circuit can be provided with control signals by the same shift register electrical device, that is to say, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the number of shift register circuits in the border area of ​​the display panel by improving the pixel circuit 12, thereby realizing a narrow border design of the display panel.

[0068] Continue to refer Figure 3 , the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1; the pixel circuit 12 also includes a second reset transistor T7, a first end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reference voltage terminal Vref2, a second end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the light emitting element Q, and both are electrically connected to a fourth node N4, a gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2, and the signal provided by the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 connected to the same pixel circuit 12 is the same as the signal provided by the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2, for example, the same scan signal line can be used to provide signals to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 and the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 respectively.

[0069] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1, and the gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2. The third scan signal terminal SC_P1 is used to output a signal for controlling the bias transistor T5, and the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 is used to output a signal for controlling the second reset transistor T7, both of which are third control signals. The third control signal is a pulse signal. The effective pulse of the third control signal controls the bias transistor T5 to be in a conducting state to bias the second end of the driving transistor T3, and controls the second reset transistor T7 to be in a conducting state to reset the anode of the light-emitting element Q; the invalid pulse of the third control signal controls the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7 to be in a turned-off state.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7 use the same signal to control whether they are in the on state or the off state. The same level shift register of the same shift register circuit can be used to provide control signals for the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7, thereby reducing the number of shift register circuits configured for each transistor.

[0071] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of another pixel provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1, and the pixel circuit 12 also includes a second reset transistor T7, a first end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reference voltage terminal Vref2, a second end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the light emitting element Q, and a gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2.

[0072] For pixel circuits in two adjacent groups, the signal of the third scanning signal terminal SC_P1 to which the gate of the bias transistor T5 of the pixel circuit 12 in the current group is electrically connected is the same as the signal of the fourth scanning signal terminal SC_P2 to which the gate of the second reset transistor T7 of the pixel circuit 12 in the previous group is electrically connected. One group includes two adjacent rows of pixel circuits 12.

[0073] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the display panel is provided with array-arranged pixels 11, each pixel 11 includes a light-emitting element Q and a pixel circuit 12 electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q. In each driving cycle, the pixel circuits 12 of each row can be driven by a row-by-row scanning method; Figure 5In order to reduce the number of signal lines in the display panel, the third scanning signal terminal SC_P1 in the pixel circuit 12 of the n-1 pixel row can be set to be electrically connected with the fourth scanning signal terminal SC_P2 of the pixel circuit 12 of the n-1 pixel row; when the pixel circuit 12 of the n-1 pixel row resets the anode of the light-emitting element Q, the pixel circuit 12 of the n-1 pixel row simultaneously implements bias processing on the second end of the driving transistor T3 to improve the bias effect on the driving transistor T3, solve the threshold drift problem of the driving transistor T3 to the greatest extent, improve the stability of the driving current generated by the driving transistor T3, and thus improve the display effect of the display panel.

[0074] The shift register circuit of the display panel can be set as a first-level shift register corresponding to two rows of pixel circuits, for example, the first-level shift register provides signals for the third scanning signal terminal SC_P1 of the bias transistor in two adjacent rows of pixel circuits respectively. The two rows of pixel circuits corresponding to the same level of shift register constitute a group, and for the pixel circuits located in two adjacent groups, the signal of the third scanning signal terminal electrically connected to the gate of the bias transistor T5 of the pixel circuit located in the current group (for example, the nth row and the n+1th row) is the same as the signal of the fourth scanning signal terminal SC_P2 electrically connected to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 of the pixel circuit located in the previous group (for example, the n-2th row and the n-1th row), and is provided by the same level of shift register.

[0075] The active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 may include metal oxide.

[0076] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the threshold compensation transistor T4 can adopt a metal oxide transistor with a low leakage level, that is, the active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 adopts metal oxide, which can firstly keep the gate of the driving transistor T3 at a stable potential during the light-emitting stage, thereby avoiding the problem of brightness reduction during the light-emitting stage caused by the leakage of the threshold compensation transistor T4.

[0077] Optionally, the active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 may be made of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO for short).

[0078] IGZO is composed of In2O3, Ga2O3 and ZnO, has a bandgap of about 3.5 eV, and is an N-type semiconductor material; that is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the threshold compensation transistor T4 is an N-type transistor for example.

[0079] Based on the low leakage current characteristic of the threshold compensation transistor T4, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 can be LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon) transistors, which will not affect the data writing transistor T2 writing the data signal Vdata The stability of the gate of the driving transistor T3 will not be affected, nor will the resetting effect of the first reset transistor T8 on the gate of the driving transistor T3 be affected, and the leakage current problem of the first reset transistor T8 will not affect the gate potential of the driving transistor T3.
