[0194] exist Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, all transistors are p-type transistors, but this is not a limitation.

[0195] exist Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, the first initial voltage line and the second initial voltage line can be the same initial voltage line, which is used to provide an initial voltage, but is not limited thereto.

[0196] exist Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, T3 may be a dual-gate transistor to reduce leakage current, but is not limited thereto.

[0197] exist Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, the first node N1 is electrically connected to the gate of the driving transistor T0, the second node N2 is electrically connected to the source of the driving transistor T0, and the third node N3 is electrically connected to the drain of the driving transistor T0.

[0198] like Figure 9 As shown, this disclosure is as follows Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, the display cycle may include a reset phase t1, a write phase t2, a compensation phase t3, and a light emission phase t4 arranged sequentially; a buffer phase t0 is provided between the compensation phase t3 and the light emission phase t4.

[0199] During the reset phase t1, R1 provides a low voltage signal, GA1 provides a low voltage signal, GA2 provides a high voltage signal, E1 provides a high voltage signal, T6, T7, T3 and T2 are cut off, T4 is turned on, and T8 is turned on, so as to write the initial voltage to the gate of T0 and the anode of F1, so that T0 can be turned on at the beginning of the writing phase t2, and F1 does not emit light, and the residual charge on the anode of F1 is cleared.

[0200] During the write phase t2, R1 provides a high voltage signal, GA1 provides a low voltage signal, GA2 provides a low voltage signal, E1 provides a high voltage signal, T6 and T7 are off, and T3, T1, T8, T2 and T5 are on. DS provides a data voltage Vdata to write the data voltage Vdata to the source of T0, charging C1, and C1 stores the data voltage Vdata; T3 is on.

[0201] At the start of the write phase t2, T0 is turned on to charge C2 with the data voltage Vdata, thereby increasing the potential of the first node N1;

[0202] During the writing phase t2, as the potential of the first node N1 rises, the current flowing through T0 decreases, and the potential of the first node N1 rises more and more slowly. If the writing phase t2 lasts long enough, the potential of the first node N1 will eventually reach Vdata+Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of T0. However, since the opening time of each row of grid lines in high-frequency (e.g., 120Hz) display products is short, the potential of the first node N1 has not yet reached Vdata+Vth. The data writing control signal provided by GA1 becomes a high voltage signal, T1 is cut off, and the writing signal from Vdata to the pixel through T1 ends.

[0203] During the writing phase t2, T8 is turned on, and the initial voltage is written to the anode of F1 to eliminate the interface charge of the light-emitting layer.

[0204] At the end of the write phase t2, the potential of the second node N2 reaches the same potential as Vdata, while T0 is still in a certain degree of on state.

[0205] During the compensation phase t3, R1 provides a high voltage signal, GA1 provides a high voltage signal, GA2 provides a low voltage signal, and E1 provides a high voltage signal. T6, T7, T4, T1, T8, and T5 are off, while T2 and T3 are on. C1 has already saved Vdata during the write phase t2. During the compensation phase, since T0 is not off, C1 will continue to charge C2 through T0 and T3. The potential of the first node N1 continues to rise until T0 is off. Since the potential rise of the first node N1 is small during the compensation phase t3, the charge consumption is limited, and C1 can be approximated as a constant voltage source. Therefore, the potential of the first node N1 eventually reaches Vdata + Vth until GA2 provides a high voltage signal, at which point the compensation phase t3 ends.

[0206] During the buffer phase t0, E1 provides a high voltage signal, R1, GA1 and GA2 all provide high voltage signals, and T4, T3, T1, T8, T2 and T5 are all cut off. During the buffer phase t0, the potential of the first node N1 remains unchanged. The duration of the buffer phase t0 is determined by the turn-on time of E1.

[0207] During the light-emitting phase t4, E1 provides a low-voltage signal, while R1, GA1, and GA2 all provide high-voltage signals. T4, T3, T1, T8, T2, and T5 are all off, while T6 and T7 are on, and F1 emits light. The gate-source voltage of T0 is Vgs = Vdata + Vth - Vdz, where Vdz is the voltage value of the power supply signal provided by Vd. The driving current If1 that drives F1 to emit light is equal to K(Vdz - Vdata). 2 , where K is the current coefficient of T0; K is a constant related to the process and design of T0.

[0208] This disclosure is as follows Figure 8 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, during operation, C2 can be charged by the data voltage Vdata during the writing phase t2 and the compensation phase t3 until T0 is turned off, so as to increase the time for charging C2 by the data voltage Vdata, fully compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T0, and improve the display uniformity.

[0226] like Figure 9 As shown, this disclosure is as follows Figure 10 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, the display cycle may include a reset phase t1, a write phase t2, a compensation phase t3, and a light emission phase t4 arranged sequentially; a buffer phase t0 is provided between the compensation phase t3 and the light emission phase t4.

[0227] During the reset phase t1, R1 provides a low voltage signal, GA1 provides a low voltage signal, GA2 provides a high voltage signal, E1 provides a high voltage signal, T6, T7, T3 and T2 are cut off, T4 is turned on, and T8 is turned on, so as to write the initial voltage to the gate of T0 and the anode of F1, so that T0 can be turned on at the beginning of the writing phase t2, and F1 does not emit light, and the residual charge on the anode of F1 is cleared.

[0228] During the writing phase t2, R1 provides a high voltage signal, GA1 provides a low voltage signal, GA2 provides a low voltage signal, E1 provides a high voltage signal, T6 and T7 are off, T3, T1, T8 and T2 are on, DS provides a data voltage Vdata to write the data voltage Vdata to the source of T0, charging C1, and C1 stores the data voltage Vdata; T3 is on.

[0229] At the start of the write phase t2, T0 is turned on to charge C2 with the data voltage Vdata, thereby increasing the potential of the first node N1;

[0230] During the writing phase t2, as the potential of the first node N1 rises, the current flowing through T0 decreases, and the potential of the first node N1 rises more and more slowly. If the writing phase t2 lasts for a certain period of time, the potential of the first node N1 will eventually reach Vdata+Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of T0. However, since the opening time of each row of grid lines in high-frequency display products (e.g., 120Hz) is short, the potential of the first node N1 has not yet reached Vdata+Vth. The data writing control signal provided by GA1 becomes a high voltage signal, T1 is cut off, and the writing signal from Vdata to the pixel through T1 ends.

[0231] During the writing phase t2, T8 is turned on, and the initial voltage is written to the anode of F1 to eliminate the interface charge of the light-emitting layer.

[0232] At the end of the write phase t2, the potential of the second node N2 reaches the same potential as Vdata, while T0 is still in a certain degree of on state.

[0233] During the compensation phase t3, R1 provides a high voltage signal, GA1 provides a high voltage signal, GA2 provides a low voltage signal, and E1 provides a high voltage signal. T6, T7, T4, T1, and T8 are off, while T2 and T3 are on. C1 has already saved Vdata during the write phase t2. During the compensation phase, since T0 is not off, C1 will continue to charge C2 through T0 and T3. The potential of the first node N1 continues to rise until T0 is off. Since the potential rise of the first node N1 is small during the compensation phase t3, the charge consumption is limited, and C1 can be approximated as a constant voltage source. Therefore, the potential of the first node N1 eventually reaches Vdata + Vth until GA2 provides a high voltage signal, at which point the compensation phase t3 ends.

[0234] During the buffer phase t0, E1 provides a high voltage signal, R1, GA1 and GA2 all provide high voltage signals, and T4, T3, T1, T8 and T2 are all cut off. During the buffer phase t0, the potential of the first node N1 remains unchanged. The duration of the buffer phase t0 is determined by the turn-on time of E1.

[0235] During the light-emitting phase t4, E1 provides a low-voltage signal, while R1, GA1, and GA2 all provide high-voltage signals. T4, T3, T1, T8, and T2 are all cut off, while T6 and T7 are turned on, and F1 emits light. The gate-source voltage of T0 is Vgs = Vdata + Vth - Vdz, where Vdz is the voltage value of the power supply voltage signal provided by Vd. The driving current If1 that drives F1 to emit light is equal to K(Vdz - Vdata). 2 , where K is the current coefficient of T0; K is a constant related to the process and design of T0.

[0236] This disclosure is as follows Figure 10 In at least one embodiment of the pixel driving circuit shown, during operation, C2 can be charged by the data voltage Vdata during the writing phase t2 and the compensation phase t3 until T0 is turned off, so as to increase the time for charging C2 by the data voltage Vdata, fully compensate the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T0, and improve the display uniformity.
