[0116] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like elements, and secondary reference numerals represent elements with similar functions. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all the implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they only represent examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0117] In practical applications, the OLED display screen will generate face residual image and / or line residual image in use. In the process of implementing the scheme of the present disclosure, the inventors found that the cause of the line residual image is that the light of the light-emitting device in the area with higher brightness will change the physical properties of the thin film transistor of the pixel driving circuit in the area with lower brightness, such as the concentration of carriers, and finally make the turn-on voltage of the thin film transistor smaller, that is, the turn-on voltage Vth of the thin film transistor is smaller, also known as the threshold voltage Vth generates negative drift. When the threshold voltage Vth generates negative drift, the brightness of the light-emitting device increases; when the brightness of a plurality of rows or a plurality of columns of light-emitting devices increases, line residual image is generated.

[0118] The current formula of the light-emitting device is shown in formula (1).

[0119] I gs = K(V gs -V th ) 2 ; (1)

[0120] In formula (1), I gs represents the current of the gate and the source of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit; K represents a simplified value of a plurality of physical parameters of the driving transistor, and the plurality of physical parameters are known when the driving transistor is determined, that is, K is known; V gs represents the voltage of the gate and the source of the driving transistor; V th represents the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.

[0121] In the present example, since V gs = V g -V s + V th1 , formula (1) can be converted into formula (2).

[0122] I gs = K(V g -V s + V th1 -V th2 ) 2 ; (2)

[0123] In formula (2), V g represents the voltage of the gate of the driving transistor; V s represents the voltage of the source of the driving transistor; V th1 and V th2 respectively represent the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.

[0124] In a theoretical case, V th1 and V th2 are equal, and a threshold voltage V th1 is added in the pixel data, and a threshold voltage Vth2 , the threshold voltage Vth is eliminated, and the driving transistor is compensated.

[0125] In practical applications, the threshold voltage V th2 is the actual turn-on voltage of the driving transistor itself. The threshold voltage V th1 is a detection value obtained by a sense line of the OLED display screen and stored in a timing controller (TCON). After obtaining the pixel data of each pixel unit, the threshold voltage V th1 is compensated to obtain the final pixel data Data. Since the sense line is detected at a certain period, for example, one hour, one day, or when the OLED display screen is turned on and off, the threshold voltage V th1 is obtained; and before the next detection, the threshold voltage V th1 is used to represent the threshold voltage V th2 .

[0126] It should be noted that at each detection time, V th1 and V th2 are equal; after this detection and before the next detection, the physical characteristics of the driving transistor are affected by the adjacent light emitting device, and the threshold voltage V th2 will produce a negative drift, resulting in a threshold voltage V th1 and a threshold voltage V th2 are no longer equal, V th1 and V th2 there is a difference between the two, resulting in a bright light emitting device, thereby producing line ghosting or surface ghosting.

[0127] To solve the above technical problems, the display device, the control method and device, and the storage medium are provided. The display device can include but is not limited to mobile phones, computers, tablets, e-books, watches, stereoscopic display screens, conference integrated machines, electronic whiteboards, and other devices with display functions. The display device includes a display device. Referring to Figure 1The display device comprises a timing control module, a pixel array, a scanning signal driving module and a data signal driving module. Each pixel unit in the pixel array comprises a light emitting device and a pixel driving circuit for driving the light emitting device to emit light. The structure of the light emitting device of the pixel unit can be various, and can be selected and arranged according to actual needs. For example, the light emitting device can be an OLED, a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) or a micro light emitting diode (Micro LED), which can be selected according to specific scenarios, and is not limited herein. The scanning signal driving module and the data signal driving module can be realized by using the circuits in the related art, and will not be described herein.

[0128] In an embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can be realized in different circuit structures, such as 7T1C, 8T1C, etc. A skilled person can select a suitable circuit structure according to a specific scenario to realize the method provided in the present disclosure. Figure 2 In an embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can be realized in different circuit structures, such as 7T1C, 8T1C, etc. A skilled person can select a suitable circuit structure according to a specific scenario to realize the method provided in the present disclosure.

[0129] In an embodiment, the pixel driving circuit can be realized in different circuit structures, such as 7T1C, 8T1C, etc. A skilled person can select a suitable circuit structure according to a specific scenario to realize the method provided in the present disclosure. Figure 2 The first end of the correction switch SW1 is electrically connected to the source of the driving transistor T2 of the pixel driving circuit, and the second end of the correction switch SW1 is electrically connected to a preset level line ref. The correction switch SW1 is used to write a preset level Vref of the preset level line ref into the source of the driving transistor T2 in a non-display control stage. It can be understood that the preset level Vref can be 0V or other voltages. In an embodiment, Vref = 0V.

[0130] In an embodiment, continuing to refer to Figure 2 The pixel driving circuit further comprises a first transistor T1, a third transistor T3 and a storage capacitor Cst. The first transistor T1 is connected in series between the data line Data and the gate of the driving transistor T2, and is used to control the writing of pixel data on the data line Data into the gate of the driving transistor T2, thereby controlling the luminous intensity of the light emitting device. The storage capacitor Cst is used to store the pixel data, so that the driving transistor T2 can continuously output a driving current to drive the light emitting device to emit light. The third transistor T3 and the correction switch SW1 jointly write the preset level Vref into the source of the driving transistor T2 as a reference level.

[0131] It should be noted that the control signal G1 of the first transistor T1 can be provided by the GOA circuit of 10T3C, 12T3C, 13T3C or 16T3C, which can be selected according to the specific scene, and is not limited here. The control signal G2 of the third transistor T3 can be provided by the GOA circuit of 10T3C, 12T3C, 13T3C or 16T3C, which can be selected according to the specific scene, and is not limited here.

[0132] It can be understood that, Figure 2 Each transistor in the circuit shown can be implemented by an N-type transistor or a P-type transistor. For the convenience of describing the scheme, Figure 2 The driving transistor T2 in the circuit shown is implemented by an N-type switching device, that is, its start voltage is high level; the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3 can be arbitrarily selected, and are not limited here.

[0133] In combination with Figures 1-2 The display device shown, the timing control module (TCON) in the display device can be configured to perform a control method, see Figure 3 , comprising steps 31-32.

[0134] In step 31, the timing control module corrects the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to obtain target pixel data; the target pixel data is used to increase the forward bias voltage of the driving transistor of the target pixel unit in the normal working scenario.

[0135] In an example, the target pixel unit includes a pixel unit to be displayed in a black pattern. The timing control module can correct the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to obtain target pixel data, see Figure 4 , comprising steps 41-43.

[0136] In step 41, in the display control stage, it is determined whether the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit is a first preset gray scale.

[0137] In this step, the display control stage (also called Active stage) is a stage of driving the light emitting device to emit light according to the preset control timing, for example, the display control stage can include an initialization stage, a data writing stage, a light emitting stage and a reset stage, etc.

[0138] In this step, the timing control module can obtain the pixel data of the image to be displayed, and the pixel data is referred to as initial pixel data in the subsequent steps to distinguish it. Then, the timing control module can determine whether the initial pixel data of each pixel unit is a first preset gray scale, for example, gray scale 0, that is, the pixel unit needs to display black or the pixel unit does not emit light. In this way, the timing control module can obtain the target pixel unit whose initial pixel data is the first preset gray scale, and the non-target pixel unit whose initial pixel data is not the first preset gray scale.

[0139] In step 42, when it is determined that it is the first preset gray scale, the initial pixel data is subjected to preset threshold voltage compensation to obtain intermediate pixel data.

[0140] In this step, when it is determined that the initial pixel data is the first preset gray scale, the timing control module can perform preset threshold voltage compensation on the initial pixel data to obtain intermediate pixel data. Assuming that the initial pixel data is Data0, the preset threshold voltage is Vth1, and the intermediate pixel data is Data1, then Data1 = Data0 + Vth1. In combination with the content of formula (1), the compensation of the pixel data in this step is compensation of V gs to eliminate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor and ensure accurate opening or closing of the driving transistor.

[0141] In step 43, the intermediate pixel data is subjected to first preset correction voltage compensation to obtain the target pixel data; the target pixel data is used to keep the driving transistor of the target pixel unit in forward bias and the light emitting device of the target pixel unit not to emit light.

[0142] In this step, the display device stores a first preset correction voltage, for example, the first preset correction voltage can be stored in the timing control module of the display device. It should be noted that the values of the first preset correction voltages of the pixel units are different, that is, each pixel unit is provided with a first preset correction voltage matched with itself. The first preset correction voltage of each pixel unit can be obtained by testing in the following ways, including:

[0143] The timing control module can initialize the correction voltage, and set the correction voltage to an initial value, which can be 0V. Then, the timing control module increases the correction voltage according to a preset step size. Assuming that the initial value of the correction voltage is A0 (such as 0V, which can be adjusted), and the step size is S (such as 0.001V, which can be adjusted), then A1 = A0 + S1 = A0 + S, A2 = A0 + S2 = A0 + 2S, and so on, An = A0 + nS, thereby obtaining a plurality of correction voltages, which are to be tested values. The timing control module can obtain the difference between the preset threshold voltage and the correction voltage as the test pixel voltage when each correction voltage is obtained, that is, the test pixel voltage is Vth1-An. It should be noted that the above-mentioned preset threshold voltage can be the latest detection value of the sensing line of the display device, thereby ensuring the reliability of the correction process.

[0144] It can be understood that, considering that the initial pixel data is the first preset gray scale, the value of the initial pixel data is 0, and at this time the pixel unit displays a black image, that is, the pixel unit does not emit light, therefore, the difference Vth1-An between the preset threshold voltage and the correction voltage can be taken as the test pixel voltage 0 + Vth1-An.

[0145] Then, after the display device is used for a certain time, for example, watching a video for a preset time, reading a text for a preset time, browsing a webpage for a preset time, and the like, in order to simulate the influence of the user usage scenario on the display device, that is, the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit can produce negative drift, the timing control module can output the above-mentioned test pixel voltage to the target pixel unit.

[0146] Continuing to combine formula (1) and formula (2), since the threshold voltage Vth2 can produce negative drift, if the threshold voltage Vth2 does not produce negative drift, then the test pixel voltage Vth1-An is less than the threshold voltage Vth2, at this time the driving transistor cannot be turned on, that is, the target pixel unit does not emit light. If the threshold voltage Vth2 produces negative drift, then the test pixel voltage Vth1-An can be greater than, equal to, or less than the threshold voltage Vth2, wherein when it is less than or equal to the threshold voltage Vth2, at this time the driving transistor cannot be turned on, that is, the target pixel unit does not emit light; if it is greater than the threshold voltage Vth2, at this time the driving transistor can be turned on, that is, the target pixel unit emits light.

[0147] It can be understood that, when the target pixel unit does not emit light, the test pixel voltage is called the first test pixel voltage, and the timing control module can take the correction voltage corresponding to the first test pixel voltage as the first preset correction voltage.

[0148] It can be understood that when the target pixel unit emits light, the timing control module can output the next test pixel voltage of the current test pixel voltage to the target pixel unit until the target pixel unit stops emitting light. The timing control module can take the correction voltage corresponding to the first test pixel voltage as the first preset correction voltage.

[0149] Through the above process, the timing control module can detect the first preset correction voltage of each pixel unit and store it to a specified location of the display device, such as the timing control module, a local memory, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0150] In this step, the timing control module can obtain the first preset correction voltage corresponding to the target pixel unit. Then, the timing control module can obtain the difference between the intermediate pixel data of each target pixel unit and the first preset correction voltage as the target pixel data. In this way, through one compensation and one correction of the initial pixel data in this step, the target pixel unit can still maintain a positive bias when displaying a black image, i.e., Vgs(=Vg-Vs) is greater than 0 and less than Vth, and the voltage driving the transistor gate is higher than the source of the driving transistor under the condition that the target pixel unit does not emit light. Since the driving transistor maintains a positive bias, the residual image caused by the negative drift of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor can be alleviated.

[0151] In this example, since compensation and correction operations are performed on each pixel unit, the target pixel data detected when the same row of pixel units displays a black image is no longer 0, but a value related to the threshold voltage Vth of each pixel unit, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0152] In another example, the target pixel unit includes a low gray scale pixel unit with a large adjacent gray scale difference and / or at least one adjacent pixel unit. Taking a black and white checkerboard image as an example, referring to Figure 6 , the gray scale difference between the first pixel unit 61 and the second pixel unit 62 is large, and the probability of generating residual image is large, so the pixel data of these target pixel units needs to be processed. Referring to Figure 7 , the timing control module can correct the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to obtain the target pixel data, including steps 71-73.

[0153] In step 71, during the display control stage, the target pixel unit and its initial pixel data are obtained.

[0154] In this step, in the display control stage, the timing control module can obtain the target pixel unit and its initial pixel data, including: for each pixel unit in each row of pixel units of the display device, the timing control module can obtain the difference value of the pixel data of the current pixel unit and the next pixel unit, which can reflect the difference in display brightness between the two pixel units. Then, the timing control module can compare the difference value with the preset difference threshold value in size to obtain a comparison result.

[0155] When the comparison result indicates that the difference value is greater than the preset difference threshold value, the timing control module can determine that the current pixel unit and at least one pixel unit before it are target pixel units, and obtain the pixel data of the target pixel unit as the initial pixel data. It should be noted that the preset difference threshold value can be pre-set, and in the case that the difference between the brightness of two pixel units can be distinguished, the corresponding value falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0156] When the comparison result indicates that the difference value is less than or equal to the preset difference threshold value, the timing control module can determine that the current pixel unit is not a target pixel unit, i.e., the current pixel unit is a unit whose pixel data does not need to be corrected.

[0157] It should be noted that the preset difference threshold value can be pre-set, which is the minimum value tested in the case that the threshold voltage of the high gray scale pixel unit can affect the threshold voltage of the adjacent low gray scale pixel unit, or the pixel difference that can distinguish the negative drift of the threshold voltage of the pixel unit. A suitable preset difference threshold value can be selected according to the specific scene, which is not limited here.

[0158] After determining the target pixel unit, the timing control module can obtain the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit.

[0159] In step 72, the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit is subjected to preset threshold voltage compensation to obtain intermediate pixel data.

[0160] In this step, the scheme of step 72 is the same as that of step 42, and the details are referred to the content of step 42, which will not be repeated here. In this way, the timing control module can obtain the intermediate pixel data of the target pixel unit.

[0161] In step 73, the intermediate pixel data is subjected to second preset correction voltage compensation to obtain the target pixel data; the target pixel data is used to keep the driving transistor of the target pixel unit in forward bias and make the luminous intensity of the light emitting device of the target pixel unit different from that of the adjacent light emitting device.

[0162] In this step, the display device stores a second preset correction voltage. The second preset correction voltage can be obtained in the same way as the first preset correction voltage, and the second preset correction voltage of each target pixel unit is the same.

[0163] In this step, the timing control module can compensate the intermediate pixel data by the second preset correction voltage to obtain target pixel data. For example, the timing control module can obtain the second preset correction voltage of each target pixel unit, and the farther the distance between the target pixel unit and the current pixel unit, the greater the second preset correction voltage. Then, the timing control module can obtain the difference between the intermediate pixel data of each target pixel unit and the second preset correction voltage as the target pixel data.

[0164] For example, the current pixel unit is n, and the initial pixel data is L(n). The next pixel unit of the current pixel unit n is n+1, and the initial pixel data is L(n+1). The previous pixel unit of the current pixel unit n is n-1, and the initial pixel data is L(n-1). The previous pixel unit of the previous pixel unit n-1 is n-2, and the initial pixel data is L(n-2). The corrected target pixel data is: the target pixel data L(n) of the current pixel unit n is L(n)+Vth(n); the target pixel data L(n-1) of the previous pixel unit n-1 of the current pixel unit n is L(n-1)+Vth(n-1)-b; and the target pixel data L(n-2) of the previous pixel unit n-2 of the previous pixel unit n-1 is L(n-2)+Vth(n-2)-c.

[0165] In this step, the effect of the pixel data of the target pixel unit before and after adjustment is shown in Figure 8 . Referring to Figure 8 , the first curve (i.e. the upper curve) is the initial pixel data of the black grid region and the white grid before adjustment; and the second curve (i.e. the lower curve) is the target pixel data of the black grid region and the white grid after adjustment. By comparison and analysis, the target pixel data of the three target pixel units close to the white grid region of the second curve increases in turn, so that the luminance of the pixel units of the black grid region and the white grid region gradually transitions from black to white, thereby avoiding the difference between the pixel data of the adjacent two pixel units being too large. It can be understood that, since the target pixel data is corrected to increase the forward bias of the driving transistor, the light intensity received by the black grid region can be reduced, the light effect of the target pixel unit can be reduced, the negative drift of the threshold voltage of the target pixel unit can be reduced, and the line residual image phenomenon can be further alleviated.

[0166] In yet another example, the target pixel unit includes a high gray scale pixel unit with a large difference in adjacent gray scale and / or at least one pixel unit adjacent thereto. In the case of a black and white checkerboard image, referring to Figure 6 , the first pixel unit has a large difference in gray scale from the second pixel unit, and the probability of ghosting is large, and thus the pixel data of these target pixel units needs to be processed. Referring to Figure 9 , the timing control module can correct the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to obtain target pixel data, including steps 91-93.

[0167] In step 91, for each pixel unit in each row of pixel units of the display device, the difference between the pixel data of the current pixel unit and the next pixel unit is obtained.

[0168] In this step, the scheme of step 91 is the same as that of step 71, and the details are described in step 71, which will not be repeated here.

[0169] In step 92, the difference is compared with a preset difference threshold to obtain a comparison result.

[0170] In this step, the scheme of step 92 is the same as that of step 72, and the details are described in step 72, which will not be repeated here.

[0171] In step 93, when the comparison result indicates that the difference is greater than the preset difference threshold, the current pixel unit and at least one pixel unit after the current pixel unit are determined as the target pixel unit, and the pixel data of the target pixel unit is obtained as the initial pixel data.

[0172] In this step, the scheme of step 93 is similar to that of step 73, and the difference is that at least one pixel unit after the current pixel unit is used as the target pixel unit, and the details are described in step 73, which will not be repeated here.

[0173] Taking three target pixel units as an example, the current pixel unit is n, and the initial pixel data of the current pixel unit is L(n); the next pixel unit of the current pixel unit n is n+1, and the initial pixel data of the next pixel unit is L(n+1); the previous pixel unit of the current pixel unit n is n-1, and the initial pixel data of the previous pixel unit is L(n-1); the previous pixel unit of the previous pixel unit n-1 is n-2, and the initial pixel data of the previous pixel unit is L(n-2), and the corrected target pixel data is: the target pixel data L(n+1) of the next pixel unit n+1 of the current pixel unit n is L(n+1)+Vth(n+1)-d; the target pixel data L(n+2) of the next pixel unit n+2 of the next pixel unit n+1 is L(n+2)+Vth(n+2)-e; the target pixel data L(n+3) of the next pixel unit n+3 of the next pixel unit n+2 is L(n+3)+Vth(n+3)-f.

[0174] In this step, the effect of the pixel data of the target pixel unit before and after adjustment is as shown in Figure 10 Figure 10 The first curve (i.e. the upper curve) is the initial pixel data of the black grid region and the white grid before adjustment, and the second curve (i.e. the lower curve) is the target pixel data of the black grid region and the white grid after adjustment. By comparison and analysis, the target pixel data of the three target pixel units close to the black grid region of the second curve increases in turn, so that the luminance of the pixel units of the black grid region and the white grid gradually transitions from black to white, thereby avoiding the difference between the pixel data of the adjacent two pixel units being too large. It can be understood that, since the target pixel data is corrected to increase the forward bias of the driving transistor, the light intensity received by the black grid region can be reduced, the light effect of the target pixel unit can be reduced, the negative drift of the threshold voltage of the target pixel unit can be reduced, and the line residual image phenomenon can be further alleviated.

[0175] In yet another example, referring to Figure 11 , the non-display control stage (also referred to as the Blank stage) refers to the stage between the display of each frame of image and the display of the next frame of image, or the time gap between the last row of the previous frame of image and the first row of the next frame of image. In combination with the circuit shown in Figure 2 , in the non-display control stage, the timing control module can control the correction switch SW1 to be turned on, so as to write the preset level Vref of the preset level line ref into the source electrode of the driving transistor.

[0176] Referring to Figure 12 ​In the first stage of the non-display control stage, the timing control module can adjust the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to a first voltage value V1 as the target pixel data; the first voltage value is greater than the gray voltage of the initial pixel data; the value range of the first voltage value is 5-15V, and in an example, the first voltage value is 15V.

[0177] In the second stage V2 of the non-display control stage, the timing control module can adjust the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to a second voltage value as the target pixel data; the second voltage value is equal to the preset level output by the preset level line; in an example, the value of the second voltage value is 0.

[0178] In the third stage of the non-display control stage, the timing control module can adjust the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to the pixel data Data(n-1) of the previous frame image as the target pixel data.

[0179] In the first stage of the non-display control stage, the driving transistor of the pixel driving circuit is in a forward bias state; in the second stage, the target pixel data is cleared, so that the target pixel unit is in a non-display state; in the third stage, the pixel data of the previous frame image is restored, and the driving transistor continues to be in a forward bias state. Since the forward bias is added in the first stage, the residual image problem caused by the threshold voltage negative drift of the driving transistor can be alleviated.

[0180] In step 32, the target pixel data is output to the target pixel unit.

[0181] In this step, the timing control module can output the target pixel data to the target pixel unit, so that the luminous intensity of the light emitting device of the target pixel unit matches the target pixel data.

[0182] So far, the display device provided by the scheme of the embodiment can correct the initial pixel data of the target pixel unit to obtain the target pixel data; the target pixel data is used to increase the forward bias of the driving transistor of the target pixel unit in a normal working scenario; then, the target pixel data is output to the target pixel unit. In this way, the embodiment can increase the forward bias of the driving transistor of the target pixel unit by correcting the pixel data, so as to slow down or eliminate the face residual image and / or line residual image caused by the threshold voltage negative drift of the driving transistor, which is beneficial to improve the display quality.

[0183] Next, a control method provided by the present disclosure is described in combination with various embodiments, which includes:

[0184] Embodiment one

[0185] Reference is made to Figure 13For example, taking a black and white checkerboard as an example, the initial pixel data Data of the pixel unit in the black grid area is 0; the timing control module can determine whether the pixel data of the image to be displayed is 0; when the pixel data is 0, the pixel unit is the target pixel unit, at this time, the initial pixel data Data is added with the preset threshold voltage Vth1 of the pixel unit itself, and then the first preset correction voltage of the pixel unit itself is subtracted, that is, Vgs = 0 + Vth1 - a, so that Vgs < Vth2, not only can the target pixel unit be ensured not to emit light, but also the driving transistor can be ensured to be forward biased.

[0186] In this way, in the present example, the target pixel data is obtained by correcting the initial pixel data based on the increase of Vth-a, and the difference between each pixel unit and the threshold voltage and the preset correction data a is matched, so that the data value tested when displaying a black image is no longer 0, but a value related to the threshold voltage Vth value of the pixel unit, so that the target pixel data of each pixel unit is not the same, and presents a wave shape as shown in Figure 5 .

[0187] Embodiment Two

[0188] For example, taking a checkerboard picture as an example, referring to Figure 14 , the timing control module can obtain the difference between the pixel data of the adjacent two pixel units, and when the difference is greater than the preset difference threshold (Lref), it can be determined that there is a target pixel unit with a large difference between high and low gray scales in the image to be displayed. For example, the timing control module compares the input pixel data, and compares the initial pixel data of the nth column pixel unit and the n+1 column unit for each row of pixel units; when the difference between the initial pixel data of the two pixel units is greater than the preset difference threshold, it is determined that the pixel units in the nth column, the n-1 column and the n-2 column are target pixel units, and the initial pixel data of each target pixel unit is compensated and corrected, and the specific method is described in steps 72 and 73 of the example scheme shown in Figure 7 , that is, the initial pixel data of the target pixel units in the nth column, the n-1 column and the n-2 column is increased in a decreasing manner, L(n) = L(n) + Vth(n), L(n-1) = L(n-1) + Vth(n-1) - b and L(n-2) = L(n-2) + Vth(n-2) - c, that is, b is less than c, so that the target pixel data of the target pixel units in the n-2 column, the n-1 column and the n column presents a stepped rising relationship, and the effect is as shown in Figure 8 .

[0189] In the present embodiment, the driving transistor of the pixel unit located at the edge of the black grid area can be forward biased, which can offset or alleviate the negative drift of the threshold voltage caused by the light irradiation of the white grid area pixel unit, so as to alleviate or eliminate the line residual image.

[0190] Example 3

[0191] Continuing with the example of a chessboard grid, see [link to example]. Figure 15 For each row of pixel units, the timing control module can compare the initial pixel data of the nth column and the (n+1)th column. When the difference between the initial pixel data of the two pixel units is greater than the preset difference threshold, the timing control module can determine the pixel units of the (n+1)th, (n+2)th, and (n+3)th columns as target pixel units. At this time, the initial pixel data of the pixel units of the (n+1)th, (n+2)th, and (n+3)th columns can be increased incrementally as follows: L(n+1) = L(n+1) + Vth(n+1) - d, L(n+2) = L(n+2) + Vth(n+2) - e, and L(n+3) = L(n+3) + Vth(n+3) - f. The relationship between the second preset correction voltages d, e, and f is d > e > f.

[0192] In this way, the illumination effect on the pixel units at the edge of the black grid area in this embodiment will be reduced, alleviating the phenomenon of negative drift of the threshold voltage Vth, and thus alleviating the problem of line retention.
