Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of circuit, and particularly relates to a pixel circuit, a display device and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of display technology, the active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) has been widely applied in display devices. The AMOLED display screen usually has two display modes, i.e., normal display and always-on display (AOD). The always-on display mode refers to displaying time and unread message information in a small area of the AMOLED display screen after the electronic device is locked. The OLED in the non-display area of the AMOLED display screen is turned off, so that the AMOLED display screen can operate at a lower power consumption, and the user can quickly obtain information.

[0003] The existing AMOLED display screen uses the same pixel circuit to drive the OLED to emit light in the normal display mode and the always-on display mode. The existing pixel circuit can eliminate the problem of uneven OLED light emission in the normal display mode by switching the on and off states of multiple switching devices, so as to ensure the uniformity of the display brightness of the display screen. However, in the always-on display mode, since the display screen only occupies a small area, the OLED in the remaining large area is turned off, and the problem of uneven OLED light emission does not need to be considered. Therefore, the on and off states of the multiple switching devices in the existing pixel circuit are frequently switched in the always-on display mode, which results in a large power consumption of the pixel circuit and affects the endurance time of the electronic device. SUMMARY
