[0055] 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.

[0056] 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 terms "including" and "having" and any variations 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 that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0057] As described in the background technology, the existing light-emitting control circuits are all for pixel circuits in which all transistors are P-type transistors (full PTFT) or a mixture of N-type transistors and P-type transistors (LTPO). However, for pixel circuits in which all transistors are N-type transistors (NTFT), the above-mentioned light-emitting control circuits are no longer applicable. The inventors have found that the reason for the above-mentioned problem is that, taking the full PTFT pixel circuit as an example, the required light-emitting control signal is mostly at a low level within a frame. However, the light-emitting control signal required for the full NTFT pixel circuit is mostly at a high level within a frame. For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 ,in, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the full PTFT pixel circuit. Figure 2 This is the driving timing diagram of the full PTFT pixel circuit. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pixel circuit of full NTFT. Figure 4 This is the driving timing diagram of the full NTFT pixel circuit. It is worth noting that Figure 1 and Figure 3 Only part of the structure of the pixel circuit is shown, that is, only the first transistor, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 and the light-emitting device LD are shown. The first transistor, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3 and the light-emitting device LD are connected between the first power supply VDD and the second power supply VSS, and the gates of the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are connected to the light-emitting control signal EM. Figure 2 In a frame t0, the light emitting control signal EM is at a low level for most of the time period, so as to control the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 to be turned on, so that the driving current generated by the first transistor T1 according to the voltage between its gate and the first electrode is transmitted to the light emitting device LD, so as to drive the light emitting device LD to emit light. Figure 4 In a frame t0, the light emitting control signal EM is at a high level for most of the time period, and the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on, so that the driving current generated by the first transistor T1 according to the voltage of its gate and the first electrode is transmitted to the light emitting device LD to drive the light emitting device LD to emit light. Therefore, the light emitting control signals of the pixel circuit of the NTFT and the pixel circuit of the PTFT are different, and the light emitting control circuit connected to the pixel circuit of the PTFT is no longer applicable to the pixel circuit of the NTFT.

[0058] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a novel light emitting control circuit suitable for a full NTFT pixel circuit. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a light emitting control circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 5 , the light emitting control circuit comprises:

[0059] A first output module 1, a second output module 2, a clamping module 3, a first control module 4, a second control module 5 and a writing module 6;

[0060] The first control module 4 is used to transmit the first potential signal VGH to the second node N2 in response to the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2 and the potential of the first node N1; wherein the first node N1 is connected to the second control module 5, and the second node N2 is connected to the control end of the first output module 1;

[0061] The second control module 5 is used to respond to the first clock signal CK1 and the potential of the third node N3, transmit the second potential signal VGL to the first node N1, and the third node N3 is connected to the control end of the second output module 2;

[0062] The writing module 6 is used for transmitting the start signal SIN to the third node N3 in response to the second clock signal CK2;

[0063] The clamping module 3 is used for responding to the first potential signal VGH of the third node N3 and controlling the signal of the second node N2 to be the second potential signal VGL;

[0064] The first output module 1 is used for controlling the second potential signal VGL to be transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit according to the potential of the second node N2;

[0065] The second output module 2 is used for controlling the first potential signal VGH to be transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit according to the potential of the third node N3.

[0066] Exemplarily, when the potentials of the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2 and the first node N1 are all on-potentials, the first control module 4 is controlled to be on, so as to transmit the first potential signal VGH to the second node N2. At least one of the first clock signal CK1, the second clock signal CK2 and the first node N1 is off-potential, and the first control module 4 is controlled to be off, so that the first potential signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the second node N2. Wherein, the on-potential described here and below is the potential for turning on the corresponding module, which may be the first potential signal VGH in this embodiment, and the off-potential is the potential for turning off the corresponding module, which may be the second potential signal VGL in this embodiment, and exemplarily, the first potential signal VGH may be a high level, and the second potential signal VGL may be a low level. When the potentials of the first clock signal CK1 and the third node N3 are all on-potentials, the second control module 5 is controlled to be on, so as to transmit the second potential signal VGL to the first node N1. When at least one of the first clock signal CK1 and the potential of the third node N3 is the off potential, the second control module 5 is turned off so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the first node N1. When the second clock signal CK2 is the on potential, the write module 6 is controlled to be turned on to transmit the start signal SIN to the third node N3. When the second clock signal CK2 is the off potential, the write module 6 is controlled to be turned off so that the start signal cannot be transmitted to the third node N3. When the potential of the third node N3 is the first potential signal VGH, the clamping module 3 is controlled to be turned on to transmit the second potential signal VGL to the second node N2, thereby controlling the signal of the second node N2 to be the second potential signal VGL. When the potential of the third node N3 is the second potential signal VGL, the clamping module 3 is controlled to be turned off so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the second node N2. When the potential of the second node N2 is the on potential, the first output module 1 is controlled to be on, so that the second potential signal VGL is transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit. When the potential of the second node N2 is the off potential, the first output module 1 is controlled to be off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit. When the potential of the third node N3 is the on potential, the second output module 2 is controlled to be on, so that the first potential signal VGH is transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit. When the potential of the third node N3 is the off potential, the second output module 2 is controlled to be off, so that the first potential signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit. Optionally, the first control module 4 is further used to respond to the second clock signal CK2 and transmit the first potential signal VGH to the first node N1.

[0067] Figure 6 A driving timing diagram of a light emitting control circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 The drive timing shown is applicable to Figure 5 The light control circuit shown in the reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The working process of the light emitting control circuit in one frame may include eight stages from the first stage P1 to the eighth stage P8, and the specific working process is as follows:

[0068] In the first stage P1, the start signal SIN is at a high level, the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level, and the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level. The first control module 4 transmits the first potential signal VGH to the first node N1 in response to the second clock signal CK2, so that the first node N1 is the first level signal VGH, that is, a high level. Because the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level, the first control module 4 and the second control module 5 are controlled to be turned off. After the second control module 4 is turned off, the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the first node N1, thereby avoiding interference with the first potential signal VGH of the first node N1. The second clock signal CK2 controls the writing module 6 to be turned on, and the turned-on writing module 6 transmits the start signal SIN to the third node N3, thereby making the potential of the third node N3 a high level. The potential control clamping module 3 of the third node N3 is turned on, and the turned-on clamping module 3 transmits the second potential signal VGL, that is, a low level, to the second node N2, so that the potential of the second node N2 is a low level. The potential of the second node N2 controls the first output module 1 to be turned off, and the potential of the third node N3 controls the second output module 2 to be turned on. The turned-on second output module 2 transmits the first potential signal VGH to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit.

[0069] In the second stage P2, the start signal SIN is at a high level, the first clock signal CK1 is at a high level, and the second clock signal CK2 is at a low level. The second clock signal CK2 controls the write module 6 to turn off, and the potential of the third node N3 maintains the high level of the previous stage, i.e., the first stage P1. The potential of the third node N3 controls the clamping module 3 to turn on, so as to transmit the second potential signal VGL to the second node N2, so that the potential of the second node N2 is at a low level. The potential of the third node N3 and the first clock signal CK1 control the second control module 5 to turn on, and the turned-on second control module 5 transmits the second potential signal VGL to the first node N1, so that the potential of the first node N1 is at a low level. The potential of the first node N1 and the second clock signal CK2 control the first control module 4 to turn off, so that the first potential signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the second node N2, avoiding the influence on the low level of the second node N2. The potential of the second node N2 controls the first output module 1 to turn off, and the potential of the third node N3 controls the second output module 2 to turn on, and the turned-on second output module 2 transmits the first potential signal VGH to the output terminal OUT of the light-emitting control circuit.

[0070] In the third stage P3, the start signal SIN is at a low level, the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level, and the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level. The second clock signal CK2 controls the writing module 6 to be turned on, and the turned-on writing module 6 transmits the start signal SIN to the third node N3, so that the potential of the third node N3 is at a low level. Because the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level, the first control module VGH is controlled to transmit the first potential signal VGH to the first node N1, so that the potential of the first node N1 is at a high level. The potential of the third node N3 and the first clock signal CK1 control the second control module 5 to be turned off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the first node N1, avoiding the influence on the high level of the first node N1. The first clock signal CK1 controls the first control module 4 to be turned off, so that the first potential signal VGH cannot be transmitted to the second node N2. At the same time, the potential control clamping module 3 of the third node N3 is turned off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the second node N2, and the second node N2 maintains the low level of the previous stage, i.e., the second stage P2. The potential of the second node N2 controls the first output module 1 to be turned off, and the potential of the third node N3 controls the second output module 2 to be turned off. Therefore, the potential of the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit maintains the high level of the previous stage, ie, the second stage P2.

[0071] In the fourth stage P4, the start signal SIN is at a low level, the first clock signal CK1 is at a high level, and the second clock signal CK2 is at a low level. The second clock signal CK2 controls the write module 6 to turn off, so that the low level of the start signal SIN cannot be transmitted to the third node N3, and the potential of the third node N3 maintains the low level of the previous stage. The potential of the third node N3 controls the second control module 5 to turn off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the first node N1. The second clock signal CK2 controls the first control module 4 to be unable to transmit the first potential signal VGH to the first node N1, and the first node N1 maintains the high level of the previous stage. The first control module responds to the high level of the first node N1 and the first clock signal CK1, and transmits the first potential signal VGH to the second node N2. The potential of the third node N3 controls the clamping module 3 to turn off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the second node N2, and the potential of the third node N3 controls the second control module 5 to turn off, so that the second potential signal VGL cannot be transmitted to the second node N2, avoiding the influence on the high level of the second node N2. The potential of the third node N3 controls the second output module 2 to be turned off, and the potential of the second node N2 controls the first output module 1 to be turned on. The turned-on first output module 1 transmits the second potential signal VGL to the output terminal OUT of the light emitting control circuit.

[0072] In the fifth stage P5, the start signal SIN is at a low level, the first clock signal CK1 is at a low level, and the second clock signal CK2 is at a high level.

[0099] The tenth transistor T10 and the fourth capacitor C4 form a bootstrap circuit. When the potential of the first clock signal CK1 jumps from a low level to a high level, the potential of the third node N3, i.e., the control terminal of the ninth transistor T9, can be raised due to the coupling effect of the fourth capacitor C4. If the potential of the gate of the ninth transistor T9 is not raised, when the sixth transistor T6 is turned on and the high level of the start signal SIN is transmitted to the control terminal of the ninth transistor T9, the ninth transistor T9 is turned on in response to the high level of its own gate to transmit the first potential signal VGH, i.e., the high level, to its own second electrode. When the difference between the gate voltage of the ninth transistor T9 and the voltage of the second electrode is equal to the threshold voltage, the ninth transistor T9 is turned off. Because the high level of the gate voltage is equal to the first potential signal VGH, when the voltage at the second electrode is charged to the difference between the first potential signal VGH and the threshold voltage of the ninth transistor T9, the ninth transistor T9 is turned off and cannot charge the second electrode to the first potential signal VGH. Therefore, the gate voltage of the ninth transistor T9 is raised through the tenth transistor T10 and the fourth capacitor C4, so that the ninth transistor T9 can normally output the first potential signal and avoid the influence of the threshold voltage.
