The pixel driving circuit may include: a driving transistor T3, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, and a capacitor C.

The pixel driving circuit can be connected to a light-emitting unit OLED, used to drive the light-emitting unit OLED to emit light, and the light-emitting unit OLED can be connected between the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the second power supply terminal VSS. Among them, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be N-type transistors, for example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can be N-type metal oxide transistors, and the N-type metal oxide transistor has a small leakage current, so that the node N can be prevented from leaking through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 during the light-emitting stage. At the same time, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 can be P-type transistors, for example, the driving transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the seventh transistor T7 can be P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon transistors, and the P-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon transistor has a high carrier mobility, which is conducive to realizing a display panel with high resolution, high response speed, high pixel density, and high aperture ratio. The first initial signal terminal and the second initial signal terminal can output the same or different voltage signals according to actual conditions.
[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1A timing diagram of each node in a driving method of a pixel driving circuit. Among them, G1 represents the timing of the gate driving signal terminal G1, G2 represents the timing of the gate driving signal terminal G2, Re1 represents the timing of the first reset signal terminal Re1, Re2 represents the timing of the second reset signal terminal Re2, EM represents the timing of the enable signal terminal EM, and Da represents the timing of the data signal terminal Da. The driving method of the pixel driving circuit may include a first reset stage t1, a compensation stage t2, a second reset stage t3, and a light-emitting stage t4. In the first reset stage t1: the first reset signal terminal Re1 outputs a high-level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first initial signal terminal Vinit1 inputs an initial signal to the node N. In the compensation stage t2: the gate drive signal terminal G1 outputs a high-level signal, the gate drive signal terminal G2 outputs a low-level signal, the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and at the same time, the data signal terminal Da outputs a drive signal to write a voltage Vdata+Vth to the node N, where Vdata is the voltage of the drive signal and Vth is the threshold voltage of the drive transistor T3.

[0079] However, using Figure 1 The display panel of the pixel driving circuit shown needs to be provided with two sets of gate driving circuits to provide gate driving signals to the N-type transistors (e.g., the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2) and the P-type transistors (e.g., the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the seventh transistor T7) in the pixel driving circuit respectively. Figure 1The driving current output by the pixel driving circuit is related to the voltage of the first power supply terminal Vdd, which is provided by a power supply line located on the display panel. However, due to the voltage drop (IR-drop) of the power supply line itself, the power supply lines at different positions on the display panel have different voltages, resulting in uneven display of the display panel at the same gray scale.
[0080] Based on this, this exemplary embodiment provides a pixel driving circuit, such as Figure 3 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure.

The first reset circuit 3 can be connected to the fourth node N4, the reset signal terminal Re, and the initial signal terminal Vinit, and is used to respond to the signal of the reset signal terminal Re to transmit the signal of the initial signal terminal Vinit to the fourth node N4. The second reset circuit 4 can be connected to the first node N1, the first power supply terminal VDD, and the reset signal terminal Re, and is used to transmit the signal of the first power supply terminal VDD to the first node N1 in response to the signal of the reset signal terminal Re. The coupling circuit 5 can be connected between the first node N1 and the fourth node N4; wherein the driving circuit 1, the control circuit 2, the first reset circuit 3, and the second reset circuit 4 can all include transistors, and the transistors in the driving circuit 1, the control circuit 2, the first reset circuit 3, and the second reset circuit 4 are all N-type transistors, and the transistors in the first reset circuit 3 are oxide transistors, and the transistors in the second reset circuit are oxide transistors. In this exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the fourth node can be used to connect a light-emitting unit OLED, the other end of the light-emitting unit OLED can be connected to the second power supply terminal VSS, the pixel driving circuit can drive the light-emitting unit OLED to emit light, and the light-emitting unit can be a light-emitting diode.
[0081] In this exemplary embodiment, on the one hand, the transistors in the driving circuit 1, the control circuit 2, the first reset circuit 3, and the second reset circuit 4 are all N-type transistors, and the pixel driving circuit can provide a gate driving signal to the transistors in the pixel driving circuit through a group of gate driving circuits. On the other hand, the transistor in the first reset circuit 3 is an oxide transistor. For example, the material of the channel region of the oxide transistor can be indium gallium zinc oxide. The oxide transistor has a small leakage current, so that the leakage current of the fourth node N4 through the first reset circuit during the light-emitting stage can be reduced; the transistor in the second reset circuit is an oxide transistor. Similarly, this setting can reduce the leakage current of the first node N1 through the second reset circuit during the light-emitting stage. On the other hand, the pixel driving circuit can include a reset stage, a threshold compensation stage, and a light-emitting stage. Among them, in the reset stage: the first reset circuit 3 can respond to the signal of the reset signal end to transmit the initial signal of the initial signal end Vinit to the fourth node N4, wherein writing the initial signal to the fourth node N4 can eliminate the carriers that are not recombined on the light-emitting interface inside the light-emitting diode, and alleviate the aging of the light-emitting diode. At the same time, the second reset circuit 4 can respond to the signal of the reset signal end to transmit the signal of the first power supply end VDD to the first node to reset the first node N1. In the threshold compensation stage, the data signal and the related amount of the threshold of the driving transistor T3 can be written to the first node N1. For example, in the threshold compensation stage, the compensation voltage Vdata+Vth can be written to the first node, wherein Vdata is the voltage of the data signal, and Vth is the voltage of the driving transistor T3. In the light-emitting stage, the control circuit can respond to the signal of the enable signal terminal to connect the first power supply terminal and the second node N2, the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, and the voltage of the fourth node N4 changes from Vinit to Voled, where Vinit is the voltage of the initial signal. Under the coupling action of the coupling circuit 5, the voltage of the first node N1 changes to Vdata+Vth+Voled-Vinit, thereby driving the output current of the transistor I=(μWCox / 2L)(Vdata+Vth+Voled-Vinit-Voled-Vth) 2 =(μWCox / 2L)(Vdata-Vinit) 2, that is, the output current of the pixel driving circuit is not related to the voltage of the first power supply terminal VDD, and the display panel using the pixel driving circuit will not have uneven display due to the voltage drop (IR-drop) of the power supply line itself. At the same time, in this exemplary embodiment, before the end of the reset phase, the initial signal terminal Vinit can have completed charging the capacitor C, that is, at the end of the reset phase, there is no current on the initial signal line used to provide the initial signal terminal, so that although the initial signal line itself has resistance, there is no current on the initial signal line after the initial signal terminal Vinit writes the voltage to the capacitor C, so there will be no voltage drop (IR-drop) on the initial signal line, that is, the voltage of the initial signal terminal at different positions of the display panel will not be different due to the resistance of the initial signal line itself.

In this exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the initial signal line Vinit on the substrate can cover the orthographic projection of the first conductive portion 11 on the substrate. The initial signal line Vinit can form a parallel plate capacitor structure with the first conductive portion 11, and the voltage on the initial signal line Vinit can be a stable voltage.
