[0062] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exemplary structural diagram of the first shift register unit in FIG. Figure 3 for Figure 1 An exemplary structural diagram of the second shift register unit in FIG. Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, the display panel may include a gate driving circuit and a driving integrated circuit DIC, the gate driving circuit includes a cascaded first shift register unit Sense GOA and a second shift register unit Link GOA, the first shift register unit Sense GOA is used to output a gate driving signal, a cascade control signal and a sensing driving signal, and the second shift register unit Link GOA is used to output a gate driving signal and a cascade control signal; the driving integrated circuit DIC is connected to the first shift register unit Sense GOA, and the driving integrated circuit DIC is used to obtain a sensing voltage signal generated by a pixel driving circuit of a pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit SenseGOA, and determine a compensation sensing value of a pixel driving circuit of a pixel row corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA based on each of the sensing voltage signals by using an interpolation method or an average method.
[0063] The display panel provided by the present disclosure comprises a cascaded first shift register unit SenseGOA and a second shift register unit Link GOA in the gate driving circuit. The first shift register unit Sense GOA can output a sensing driving signal in addition to a cascade control signal and a gate driving signal, while the second shift register unit Link GOA only outputs a cascade control signal and a gate driving signal, that is, the second shift register unit Link GOA does not need to output a sensing driving signal, thereby simplifying the circuit structure of the second shift register unit Link GOA. On this basis, the driver integrated circuit DIC generates a sensing voltage signal according to the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA, and uses an interpolation method or an average method to determine the compensation sensing value of the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA based on each of the sensing voltage signals, thereby realizing fast detection of each shift register unit on the basis of simplifying the circuit structure of the gate driving circuit.
[0064] The cascade control signal output by the shift register unit of the present disclosure is used to cascade the shift register units at various levels, and the gate drive signal is used to drive the pixel rows corresponding to the display area. Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the first shift register unit Sense GOA and the second shift register unit Link GOA may include a cascade control module 60 and a gate control module 40, wherein the cascade control module 60 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the second clock signal terminal CLKD and the cascade signal output terminal CR, and the cascade control module 60 can respond to the signal of the pull-up node PU to transmit the signal of the second clock signal terminal CLKD to the cascade signal output terminal CR for output; the gate control module 40 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the third clock signal terminal CLKE and the gate signal output terminal G, and the gate control module 40 can respond to the signal of the pull-up node PU to transmit the signal of the third clock signal terminal CLKE to the gate signal output terminal G for output. Among them, the cascade control module 60 is used to output the cascade signal, and the gate control module 40 is used to output the gate drive signal to the pixel drive circuit of the display area, that is, the gate drive signal and the cascade signal are output by two different circuit modules. Thus, the outputs of the cascade control module 60 and the gate control module 40 can be independently controlled.
[0065] In addition, in the same first shift register unit Sense GOA and the same second shift register unit Link GOA of the present disclosure, the cascade control module 60 and the gate control module 40 are both one or more, and the number of the gate control modules 40 is k times the number of the cascade control modules 60, where k is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. When k=1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the number of cascade control modules 60 and gate control modules 40 in the first shift register unit Sense GOA and the second shift register unit Link GOA is the same. Under this structure, the cascade signal output terminal CR of the Nth shift register unit GOA can be connected to the input terminal of the (N-1)th shift register unit GOA, that is, the cascade signal of the Nth shift register unit GOA is used as the input signal of the (N-1)th shift register unit GOA, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. When k is greater than or equal to 2, multiple gate control modules 40 in the first shift register unit Sense GOA and the second shift register unit Link GOA reuse the same cascade control module 60. Exemplarily, Figure 4 for Figure 1 Another exemplary structural diagram of the first shift register unit in FIG. Figure 5 for Figure 1 Another exemplary structural diagram of the second shift register unit in FIG. Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, k=4, that is, the same shift register unit includes a cascade control module 60 and four gate control modules 40. In other words, in the same shift register unit, four gate control modules 40 reuse one cascade control module 60. Under this structure, one shift register unit can output four rows of gate drive signals for driving four rows of pixels for display. The cascade signal output terminal CR of the Nth-stage shift register unit GOA can be connected to the input terminal of the (N-2)th-stage shift register unit GOA, that is, the cascade signal of the Nth-stage shift register unit GOA is used as the input signal of the (N-2)th-stage shift register unit GOA, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3.
[0066] The first shift register unit Sense GOA also outputs a sensing drive signal, and the pixel driving circuit outputs a sensing voltage signal under the control of the sensing drive signal, and the sensing voltage signal represents the detection result of the threshold voltage and real-time mobility of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit of the display area. The following is an exemplary description of the output of the sensing drive signal by the first shift register unit Sense GOA of the present disclosure, taking the 3T1C pixel driving circuit as an example. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a circuit for sensing a pixel driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor DT, a scanning transistor CT, a sensing transistor ST and a storage capacitor Cst. The first electrode of the scanning transistor CT is connected to the data signal line Data, the second electrode is connected to the first node N1, and the gate is connected to the scanning signal line SCAN; the first electrode of the sensing transistor ST is connected to the second node N2, the second electrode is connected to the sensing signal line SL, and the gate is connected to the sensing driving signal line SEN; the first electrode of the driving transistor DT is connected to the first power supply terminal Vdd, the second electrode is connected to the second node N2, and the gate is connected to the first node N1; one end of the storage capacitor Cst is connected to the first node N1, and the other end is connected to the second node N2. The anode of the light-emitting unit OLED is connected to the second node, and the cathode is connected to the second power supply terminal Vss. The light-emitting unit OLED emits light and displays under the driving current provided by the driving transistor DT. The sensing and compensation principles of the circuit are as follows:
[0067] In the display phase of a frame of data, the sensing module in the first shift register unit Sense GOA is turned on to select the pixel row to be sensed, for example, the pixel row to be sensed is selected as the third row, and then the potential of the second electrode of the third row driving transistor DT is output by the sensing signal line SL in the Blank phase of the frame of data, that is, the sensing voltage signal. Exemplarily, the scanning transistor CT and the sensing transistor ST can be controlled to be turned on first, so as to write the data signal to the first node N1 through the scanning transistor CT and write the reference voltage signal Vref to the second electrode of the sensing transistor ST through the sensing transistor ST, and then the scanning transistor CT is controlled to be turned off and the sensing transistor ST is controlled to be turned on, and the driving transistor DT is turned on under the action of the storage capacitor Cst to charge the second node N2 with the voltage signal of the first power supply terminal Vdd, and when the second node N2 is charged to a high potential and remains unchanged, the turned-on sensing transistor ST transmits the voltage signal of the second node N2 to the sensing signal line SL, and the second electrode signal of the driving transistor DT output by the sensing signal line SL is the sensing voltage signal. After the sensing voltage signal is processed by an external circuit (the external circuit may include, for example, a timer, an analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, etc.), compensation information about the threshold voltage and current coefficient of the third row driving transistor DT can be obtained. Then, in the Display stage of the next frame, the compensation information obtained above is applied to the data signal, and the compensated data signal is provided by the data signal line Data, thereby realizing compensation for the threshold voltage and real-time mobility of the driving transistor DT. It should be understood that the above 3T1C pixel driving circuit is only an exemplary description, and pixel driving circuits of other structures can also perform threshold voltage sensing and compensation through the above method, that is, external compensation, which will not be described in detail here.
[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present disclosure can set a sensing module 200 in the first shift register unit Sense GOA, and the sensing module 200 outputs the sensing drive signal in the corresponding pixel row. The second shift register unit Link GOA is only used to output the gate drive signal and the cascade control signal, that is, the driving integrated circuit DIC does not detect the threshold voltage and real-time mobility of the driving transistor in the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA. Therefore, the sensing module 200 may not be set in the second shift register unit Link GOA, thereby simplifying the circuit structure of the second shift register unit Link GOA, thereby optimizing the circuit structure of the gate drive circuit as a whole, which is conducive to the realization of a narrow frame of the display panel.
[0069] In addition, because the second shift register unit Link GOA does not have the sensing module 200, the present disclosure obtains the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA through the driving integrated circuit DIC, and the driving integrated circuit DIC then obtains the compensated sensing value through calculation according to the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA, and then uses these compensated sensing values as the threshold voltage and real-time mobility detection results of the driving transistor in each pixel row corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA, and uses the compensated sensing value to compensate the driving transistor in each pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA.
[0070] The present disclosure simplifies the circuit structure of the gate drive circuit, which is conducive to achieving a narrow frame of the panel. In addition, because the driver integrated circuit DIC only detects the threshold voltage and real-time mobility of the driving transistor in the row of pixels corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA, and the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA is not detected, in other words, the present disclosure only detects the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in some pixel rows, thereby reducing the detection time, especially for high-resolution panels, which can greatly reduce the detection time. The pixel rows that are not detected are replaced by the driver integrated circuit DIC to calculate the compensation sensing value through the existing sensing voltage signal to compensate the driving transistor, thereby reducing the overall compensation time, which can solve the problem of poor display uniformity caused by excessive compensation time in the prior art.
[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the gate driving circuit may include a plurality of repeating units Q, and one repeating unit Q may include a first shift register unit Sense GOA and N second shift register units Link GOA, where N is a natural number; in the same repeating unit Q, the first shift register unit Sense GOA and each second shift register unit Link GOA are sequentially cascaded, and in any two adjacent repeating units Q, the last second shift register unit Link GOA in the previous repeating unit Q is connected to the first shift register unit Sense GOA of the next repeating unit Q. Specifically, Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a gate driving circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, when N is 1, a second shift register unit Link GOA is distributed between two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA, so that the first shift register unit Sense GOA and the second shift register unit Link GOA are alternately distributed in sequence. Figure 8FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a gate driving circuit according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, when N≥2, a repeating unit Q includes a first shift register unit Sense GOA and a plurality of second shift register units Link GOA. In this structure, a plurality of second shift register units Link GOA are distributed between two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA. It should be understood that the shift register units are cascaded through the cascade control signal output by the cascade control module 60, and this exemplary embodiment only takes the cascade control signal of the Nth stage shift register unit as the input signal of the (N+2)th stage shift register unit as an example for illustrative description. In other embodiments, each shift register unit may also have other cascade modes, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The first electrode of the fourteenth transistor M14 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the second electrode is connected to the first electrode of the fifteenth transistor M15, and the gate is connected to the pull-down node PD. The second electrode of the fifteenth transistor M15 receives the first level signal VGL1, and the gate is connected to the pull-down node PD.

[0074] The first gate control module 41 is connected to the pull-up node PU, the first gate signal output terminal G1 and the third clock signal terminal CLKE1. The first gate control module 41 can be used to transmit the third clock signal CLKE1 to the first gate signal output terminal G1 in response to the signal of the pull-up node PU to output the first output signal. Exemplarily, the first gate control module 40 may include a twenty-sixth transistor, the first electrode of the twenty-sixth transistor is connected to the third clock signal terminal, the second electrode is connected to the first gate signal output terminal G1, and the gate is connected to the pull-up node PU.

When the pull-down node PD is at a high level, the twenty-seventh transistor M27 is turned on and resets the first gate signal output terminal G1 using the second level signal.

[0092] like Figure 9aAs shown, the first shift register unit Sense GOA may also include a sensing module 200, an isolation module 300, a leakage control module 400 and a sensing reset module 160. The sensing module 200 is connected to the sensing control terminal OE, the input control terminal CR (N-2), the first power terminal GVDD1, the pre-stored node H, the common node N and the first clock signal terminal CLKA. The sensing module 200 can respond to the signal of the sensing control terminal OE to write the signal of the input control terminal CR (N-2) into the pre-stored node H for storage, and use the signal of the pre-stored node H to transmit the signal of the first clock signal terminal CLKA to the common node N.

[0095] Fig.11 for Figure 9a The timing diagram of the circuit shown, taking lines 5 to 8 as an example, the circuit works as follows:
[0096] First, the sensing control terminal OE and the first-stage input signal terminal STU are both high to reset all rows. Then in the Display stage:
[0097] (1) The third cascade signal output terminal CR <3> Being at a high potential causes PU<5-8> to be written with a high voltage and to be kept at a high potential.
[0098] (2) The second clock signal terminal CLKD7 and the third clock signal terminal CLKE5-8 are at high potential, so that the seventh cascade signal output terminal CR <7> The fifth gate signal output terminal G5 to the eighth gate signal output terminal G8 are at high potentials in sequence.
[0099] (3) Eleventh cascade signal output terminal CR <11> is a high potential, making PU<5-8> a low potential.
[0100] After shifting in sequence to complete the display of all rows in the Display phase, the Blank phase is entered. In the Blank phase, since the sensing control terminal OE has selected the row to be detected, it is only necessary to open the first clock signal terminal CLKA of the corresponding row to charge the pull-up node PU of the corresponding row, and the corresponding third clock signal terminal CLKE outputs a high level to output the sensing drive signal of the corresponding row.
[0101] by Figure 4 and Figure 9aTake the circuit shown as an example, Figure 4 and Figure 9a As shown, the driver integrated circuit DIC can detect the threshold voltage of the driving transistors of the four pixel rows corresponding to a first shift register unit Sense GOA, that is, a first shift register unit Sense GOA can output the sensing driving signal of the driving transistors of the four pixel rows. Then, after one or more second shift register units Link GOA, the driver integrated circuit DIC can detect the threshold voltage of the driving transistors of the four pixel rows corresponding to the next first shift register unit Sense GOA.
[0102] Exemplarily, taking the output of the sensing drive signal by the Nth first shift register unit Sense GOA as an example, the driver integrated circuit DIC can output the threshold voltage detection value of the driving transistor in the Nth to (N+3)th row pixels corresponding to the Nth first shift register unit Sense GOA. Then, the (N+1)th shift register unit is the second shift register unit Link GOA, and the driver integrated circuit DIC does not detect the threshold voltage of the driving transistor in the (N+4)th to (N+7)th row pixels corresponding to the (N+1)th shift register unit. Next, the (N+2)th shift register unit is the first shift register unit Sense GOA again, and the driver integrated circuit DIC can output the threshold voltage detection value of the driving transistor in the (N+8)th to (N+11)th row pixels corresponding to the (N+2)th shift register unit, and so on.
[0103] Under this structure, the driver integrated circuit DIC can calculate compensation values based on the threshold voltage values actually detected in the Nth to (N+3)th rows, (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, etc., and use these compensation values as compensation sensing values of the threshold voltages of the driving transistors in the undetected pixel rows, such as the (N+4)th to (N+7)th rows, (N+12)th to (N+15)th rows, corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA, and perform threshold compensation on the driving transistors in the pixel rows that have not been actually detected based on the compensation sensing values.
[0104] Below Figure 9a and Fig.10a The circuit structure shown forms Figure 7 The gate driving circuit shown is taken as an example to further introduce the solution of determining the compensated sensing value based on the sensed voltage signal that has been detected in the present disclosure.
[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the driver integrated circuit DIC may use an interpolation method to determine the threshold voltage compensation value of the driving transistor in the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA. Specifically, after acquiring the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA, the driver integrated circuit DIC uses the interpolation method to determine the compensation sensing value of the pixel driving circuit corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA based on the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA.
[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, Fig.12 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of determining a compensated sensing value according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the figure, the ordinate represents the sensing value, and the abscissa represents the pixel row. Fig.12 As shown, the pixel rows corresponding to the sensing driving signals output by each first shift register unit Sense GOA are respectively the Nth to (N+3)th rows, (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, (N+16)th to (N+19)th rows..., Mth to (M+3)th rows..., then the driving integrated circuit DIC can obtain the compensation sensing values of the driving transistors in the (N+4)th to (N+7)th rows, (N+12)th to (N+15)th rows, (N+20)th to (N+23)th rows... which are not detected by the interpolation method after obtaining the sensing voltage signals of the above pixel rows. Because the compensation difference between adjacent rows is small, the interpolation calculation result, i.e., the compensation sensing value, can reflect the sensing values of those undetected pixel rows, thereby saving the sensing time for these rows. In this way, the compensation sensing value is used to compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor, and the time required for compensating all the pixel rows of the panel is greatly compressed, thereby simplifying the circuit structure to achieve a narrow frame while achieving fast sensing and fast compensation.
[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the driver integrated circuit DIC can also determine the first average value of the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel rows corresponding to two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA based on the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel rows corresponding to each first shift register unit SenseGOA, and then determine the first average value as the compensation sensing value of the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA located between the two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA.
[0108] For example, Fig.13 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of determining a compensated sensing value according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the figure, the ordinate represents the sensing value, and the abscissa represents the pixel row. Fig.13As shown, the pixel rows corresponding to the sensing drive signals output by each first shift register unit Sense GOA are respectively the Nth to (N+3)th rows, the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, the (N+16)th to (N+19)th rows, ..., then after acquiring the sensing voltage signals of the above pixel rows, the driving integrated circuit DIC can sequentially calculate the first average values of the sensing voltage signals of each pixel row corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA in each repeating unit Q, and then determine the first average value as the compensation sensing value of each pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA in the same repeating unit Q. For example, the pixel rows corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA in the first repeating unit Q are the Nth to (N+3)th rows, then the driving integrated circuit DIC can calculate the average of the sensing voltage signals of the Nth to (N+3)th rows as the first average value K1, and then use the first average value K1 as the compensation sensing value of the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA in the first repeating unit Q, that is, the compensation sensing values of the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA in the first repeating unit Q (that is, the (N+4)th to (N+7)th rows) are all the average of the sensing voltage signals of the Nth to (N+3)th rows. Similarly, the pixel rows corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA in the second repeating unit Q are the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, and the driver integrated circuit DIC can calculate the first average value K1' of the sensing voltage signal of the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, and then use the first average value K1' as the compensation sensing value of the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA in the second repeating unit Q (i.e., the (N+12)th to (N+15)th rows), that is, the compensation sensing values of the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA in the second repeating unit Q (i.e., the (N+12)th to (N+15)th rows) are all the first average values of the sensing voltage signal of the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows. In this way, the driver integrated circuit DIC sequentially determines the compensation sensing values of the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA.
[0109] In an exemplary embodiment, after obtaining the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to each first shift register unit Sense GOA, the driving integrated circuit DIC can also determine the second average value of the sensing voltage signal of each pixel row corresponding to two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA, and then determine the second average value as the compensation sensing value of each pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA located in the two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA.
[0110] For example, Fig.14FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of determining a compensated sensing value according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the figure, the ordinate represents the sensing value, and the abscissa represents the pixel row. Fig.14 As shown, the pixel rows corresponding to the sensing driving signals output by each first shift register unit Sense GOA are respectively the Nth to (N+3)th rows, the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows, the (N+16)th to (N+19)th rows, ..., then after obtaining the sensing voltage signals of the above pixel rows, the driving integrated circuit DIC can sequentially calculate the average values of the sensing voltage signals output by two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA, recorded as the second average value, and then use the second average value as the compensation sensing value of the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA located between the two first shift register units Sense GOA. For example, the driving integrated circuit DIC can calculate the average of the sensing voltage signals of the Nth to (N+3)th rows and the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows as the second average value K2 based on the sensing voltage signals generated by the pixel driving circuits of the pixel rows corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA in the first repeating unit Q and the first shift register unit Sense GOA in the second repeating unit Q. The second average value K2 is used as the compensation sensing value of the threshold voltage of the driving transistors of the (N+4)th to (N+7)th rows corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA in the first repeating unit Q, that is, the threshold voltages of the driving transistors in the pixels of the (N+4)th, (N+5)th, (N+6)th and (N+7)th rows are all compensated using the second average value K2 obtained from the sensing voltage signals of the Nth to (N+3)th rows and the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows. Similarly, the driving integrated circuit DIC can calculate the second mean value K2' of the sensing voltage signals of the (N+8)th to (N+11)th rows and the (N+16)th to (N+19)th rows. The second mean value K2' is used as the compensation sensing value of the threshold voltage of the driving transistors of the (N+12)th to (N+15)th rows, that is, the threshold voltage sensing values of the driving transistors in the pixels of the (N+12)th, (N+13)th, (N+14)th and (N+15)th rows are all the second mean value K2' of the sensing voltage signals of the (N+8)th to (N+11)th and (N+16)th to (N+19)th rows.
[0111] It can be seen that in Figure 7 In the gate driving circuit shown in the figure, the compensation time for the driving transistor in the pixel row can be halved as a whole, so as to realize fast sensing and fast compensation. Of course, in other embodiments, the specific sensing time that can be saved depends on the ratio of the number of the first shift register unit Sense GOA to the second shift register unit Link GOA in the gate driving circuit, and after the ratio of the number of the two shift register units changes, the same can be based on Figure 12 to Figure 14 The method shown performs threshold voltage compensation on the driving transistors in the pixel rows corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA.

[0115] In an exemplary embodiment, this step may be specifically performed as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the interpolation method is used to determine the compensation sensing value of the pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA located between the two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA based on the sensing voltage signal generated by the pixel driving circuit of the pixel row corresponding to the two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA. The specific principle of compensation by the interpolation method can be found in the introduction of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0116] In an exemplary embodiment, if Fig.13 As shown, this step may also include: determining a first average value of the sensing voltage signal of each pixel row corresponding to the first shift register unit Sense GOA in each repeating unit; and determining the first average value as the compensation sensing value of each pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA in the same repeating unit.
[0117] In an exemplary embodiment, if Fig.14 As shown, this step may also include: determining a second mean value of the sensing voltage signal of each pixel row corresponding to two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA; determining the second mean value as the compensation sensing value of each pixel row corresponding to the second shift register unit Link GOA between the two adjacent first shift register units Sense GOA.
[0118] The specific principle of determining the first mean value, the second mean value and using the first mean value and the second mean value for compensation can be found in the introduction of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0119] S130 , using the compensation sensing value to perform threshold voltage compensation on the driving transistors in the pixel rows corresponding to each second shift register unit Link GOA.
[0120] The driving method disclosed in the present invention is optimized through algorithms, and the time required for performing compensation on all pixel rows of a panel is greatly compressed, thereby enabling rapid sensing and rapid compensation of narrow-framed panels.
