DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0053] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the figures, and description of these figures should be considered with reference to the detailed description. In addition, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
[0054] The terms "one", "a", "an", "the", and "at least one" are used to indicate that "one or more" of something is / are present; the terms "comprises", "comprising", "has", "having", "includes", "including", "contains", "containing" and variants thereof are used to indicate that a list of elements / components / etc. is not exclusive and that additional elements / components / etc. can be present; the term "first", "second", and "third" and the like are used merely as labels, and are not meant to impose numerical requirements on their objects.
[0055] In the display panel or pixel driving circuit of the present disclosure, the mutual overlap between two structures means that the two structures are stacked and intersected; that is, the two structures are located in different film layers of the display panel, and the orthographic projections of the two structures on the substrate overlap.
[0056] In the present disclosure, a transistor refers to an element including at least a gate, a drain, and a source, and has a channel region between the drain (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. The channel region refers to a region through which current mainly flows.
[0057] In the present disclosure, one of the drain and the source of a transistor is referred to as a first electrode of the transistor, and the other is referred to as a second electrode of the transistor. In the case of using a transistor with opposite polarity, or in the case of changing the current direction in the operation of a circuit, the functions of the "source" and the "drain" are sometimes exchanged with each other. Therefore, in the present disclosure, in some cases, the first electrode can function as the source and the second electrode can function as the drain, and in other cases, the first electrode can function as the drain and the second electrode can function as the source.
[0058] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, a via is a via in the conventional sense, and is not limited to the insulating film layer through which each via is formed or the conductive structure to which each via is connected.
[0059] The present disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit and a display panel using the same. Referring to Figure 1 The pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure comprises:
[0060] The driving transistor M3 is connected to the first node N1 and the third node N3, and is configured to output a driving current to the third node N3 under the control of the first node N1;
[0061] The storage capacitor Cst is connected to the first node N1 and the second node N2;
[0062] The data writing unit 110 is connected to the second node N2, and is configured to output a data voltage Vdata to the second node N2 in response to a first scan signal Gate_P;
[0063] The light emitting control unit 130 is connected to the third node N3 and the fourth node N4, and is configured to make the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 electrically connected in response to a light emitting control signal EM;
[0064] The first reset unit 140 is connected to the second node N2, and is configured to output a reference voltage Vref to the second node N2 in response to the light emitting control signal EM or a first reset signal Re_P;
[0065] The second reset unit 150 is connected to the first node N1, and is configured to output an initialization voltage Vinit to the first node N1 in response to a second reset signal Re_N.
[0066] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit can further include a threshold compensation unit 120. The threshold compensation unit 120 is connected to the first node N1 and the third node N3, and is configured to make the first node N1 and the third node N3 electrically connected in response to a second scan signal Gate_N.
[0067] The pixel driving circuit provided by the present disclosure can be driven by the following pixel driving method: Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 24 ,
[0068] In step S110, in the reset stage T1, a first reset signal Re_P is loaded to the first reset unit 140 to load the reference voltage Vref to the second node N2; and a second reset signal Re_N is loaded to the second reset unit 150 to load the initialization voltage Vinit to the first node N1.
[0069] In step S120, in the data writing stage T2, a first scan signal Gate_P is loaded to the data writing unit 110 to load the data voltage Vdata to the second node N2; and a second scan signal Gate_N is loaded to the threshold compensation unit 120 to make the first node N1 and the third node N3 electrically connected until the current between the first node N1 and the third node N3 is zero, so as to write the threshold voltage of the driving transistor into the first node N1, and realize compensation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
[0070] In step S130, in the light emitting stage T3, a light emitting control signal EM is loaded to the light emitting control unit 130 and the first reset unit 140 to make the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 electrically connected, and to load the reference voltage Vref to the second node N2.
[0071] It can be understood that, in the present disclosure, Figure 3In the illustrated timing diagram, the first reset signal Re_P, the first scan signal Gate_P, and the light-emitting control signal EM are active signals at a low level and are inactive base signals at a high level. The second reset signal Re_N and the second scan signal Gate_N are active signals at a high level and are inactive base signals at a low level. It can be understood that the high and low levels of the active signals in these signals can also be reversed to be able to realize the control of the corresponding unit.
[0072] In the pixel driving circuit and the driving method thereof provided in the present disclosure, in the reset stage, different reset signals can be used to control the first reset unit 140 and the second reset unit 150, respectively, so as to reset the second node N2 by using the reference voltage Vref and reset the first node N1 by using the initialization voltage Vinit. The reference voltage Vref is a positive voltage, which can be 3v, and the initialization voltage Vinit is a negative voltage, which can be -3v to -5v. In the data writing stage, the data voltage and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor can be written to the two ends of the storage capacitor, respectively, the first node N1 is charged to a voltage of VDD+Vth, and the second node N2 is written with the data voltage Data, so as to complete the data writing and the threshold voltage compensation of the driving transistor in the same stage, which can simplify the driving method of the pixel driving circuit. In the light-emitting stage, the first reset unit 140 can be controlled by the light-emitting control signal EM to reset the second node N2, and the voltage of the second node N2 changes from Data to Vref. According to the charge conservation principle, the voltage of the first node N1 jumps to VDD+Vth+Vref-Data, which realizes the pull-down (or pull-up) of the voltage of the first node N1, so that the driving transistor M3 can generate a driving current to drive the light-emitting element 170 to emit light.
[0073] In the following, the structure, principle and effect of the pixel driving circuit provided in the present disclosure are further explained and described in combination with the drawings.
[0074] Referring to Figure 23 The display panel provided in the present disclosure can include a substrate F100, a driving circuit layer F200 and a pixel layer F300 which are sequentially stacked. The pixel driving circuit provided in the present disclosure can be arranged in the driving circuit layer F200, and the light-emitting element 170 corresponding to the pixel driving circuit can be arranged in the pixel layer F300. One end of the light-emitting element 170 can be loaded with the second power voltage VSS, and the other end can be electrically connected to the fourth node of the pixel driving circuit. In this way, the pixel driving circuit can drive the corresponding light-emitting element 170 to emit light.
[0075] Referring to Figure 1In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit further comprises a third reset unit 160 connected to the fourth node N4, configured to output an initialization voltage Vinit to the fourth node N4 in response to a first reset signal Re_P. In this way, the pixel driving circuit can reset the first node N1, the second node N2 and the fourth node N4 at the same time at the reset stage, which can quickly eliminate the voltage difference between the cathode and the anode of the light emitting element 170, and avoid the smearing caused by the light emitting element 170 failing to stop emitting light in time.
[0076] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 The threshold compensation unit 120 comprises a second transistor M2 comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a gate electrode, the first electrode is connected to the third node N3, the second electrode is connected to the first node N1, and the gate electrode is configured to load a second scan signal Gate_N. The active layer of the second transistor M2 is made of metal oxide semiconductor material. In this way, the second transistor M2 is an oxide transistor (Oxide-TFT), which has a low leakage current in the off state, so as to reduce the leakage of the first node N1, which is conducive to the potential holding of the storage capacitor Cst at the light emitting stage, and further reduces the flicker risk of the light emitting element 170 when driven at low frequency. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second transistor M2 is an N-type thin film transistor.
[0077] Further optionally, the gate electrode of the second transistor M2 comprises a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode both configured to load the second scan signal Gate_N, and the active layer of the second transistor M2 comprises a channel region. The first gate electrode, the channel region and the second gate electrode of the second transistor M2 are sequentially stacked. In this way, the channel region of the second transistor M2 is sandwiched between the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode, which can reduce the influence of floating body effect on the second transistor M2, and further reduce the leakage current of the second transistor M2 in the off state.
[0078] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit is arranged on one side of the substrate F100. The first gate of the second transistor M2 is located on the side of the substrate F100 close to the channel region of the second transistor M2; the orthographic projection of the second gate of the second transistor M2 on the substrate F100 is located within the orthographic projection of the first gate of the second transistor M2 on the substrate F100. In other words, the first gate of the second transistor M2, the channel region of the second transistor M2, and the second gate of the second transistor M2 are sequentially arranged on the side of the substrate F100; the part of the active layer of the second transistor M2 overlapping with the second gate of the second transistor M2 serves as the channel region of the second transistor M2, and the channel region of the second transistor M2 is completely shielded by the first gate of the second transistor M2. In this way, the first gate of the second transistor M2 can shield the influence of external light on the channel region of the second transistor M2, and avoid the generation of photo-generated current in the channel region of the second transistor M2, thereby reducing the leakage current of the second transistor M2 in the off state.
[0079] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 , the second reset unit 150 includes a fourth transistor M4, the fourth transistor M4 includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a gate, the first electrode is used to load an initialization voltage Vinit, the second electrode is connected to the first node N1, and the gate is used to load a second reset signal Re_N. The material of the active layer of the fourth transistor M4 is a metal oxide semiconductor material. In this way, the fourth transistor M4 is a metal oxide transistor, which has a low leakage current in the off state, thereby reducing the leakage of the first node N1, facilitating the potential holding of the storage capacitor Cst in the light-emitting stage, and further reducing the flicker risk of the light-emitting element 170 in low-frequency driving. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fourth transistor M4 is an N-type thin film transistor.
[0080] Further optionally, the gate of the fourth transistor M4 includes a first gate and a second gate both used to load the second reset signal Re_N, and the active layer of the fourth transistor M4 includes a channel region; the first gate, the channel region, and the second gate of the fourth transistor M4 are sequentially arranged in layers. In this way, the channel region of the fourth transistor M4 is sandwiched between the first gate and the second gate of the fourth transistor M4, which can reduce the influence of the floating body effect on the fourth transistor M4, and further reduce the leakage current of the fourth transistor M4 in the off state.
[0081] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit is arranged on one side of the substrate F100. The first gate of the fourth transistor M4 is located on the side of the substrate F100 close to the channel region of the fourth transistor M4; the orthographic projection of the second gate of the fourth transistor M4 on the substrate F100 is completely located within the orthographic projection of the first gate of the fourth transistor M4 on the substrate F100.
[0082] In other words, the first gate of the fourth transistor M4, the channel region of the fourth transistor M4, and the second gate of the fourth transistor M4 are sequentially stacked on one side of the substrate F100; the portion of the active layer of the fourth transistor M4 that overlaps the second gate of the fourth transistor M4 serves as the channel region of the fourth transistor M4, and the channel region of the fourth transistor M4 is completely shielded by the first gate of the fourth transistor M4. In this way, the first gate of the fourth transistor M4 can shield the influence of external light on the channel region of the fourth transistor M4, and avoid the generation of photo-generated current in the channel region of the fourth transistor M4, thereby preventing the increase in leakage current of the fourth transistor M4 in the off state.
[0083] Optionally, the pixel driving circuit is disposed on one side of the substrate F100; the storage capacitor Cst includes at least two electrode plates that are stacked and insulated from each other, and the space between the two electrode plates is filled with an insulating medium. At least one of the electrode plates can be electrically connected to the first node N1, and at least one of the electrode plates can be electrically connected to the second node N2.
[0084] Further optionally, referring to Figure 23 The storage capacitor Cst includes a first electrode plate CP1, a second electrode plate CP2, a third electrode plate CP3, and a fourth electrode plate CP4 that are sequentially stacked on one side of the substrate F100, and an insulating medium is arranged between any two adjacent electrode plates; the first electrode plate CP1 and the third electrode plate CP3 are both electrically connected to the first node N1; the second electrode plate CP2 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 are both electrically connected to the second node N2. In this embodiment, the number of electrode plates of the storage capacitor Cst can be increased to increase the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst, thereby reducing the influence of the leakage current of the first node N1 on the electromotive force at the first node N1, weakening or eliminating the flicker problem of the pixel driving circuit under low-frequency driving, and improving the display quality of the display panel using the pixel driving circuit.
[0085] Optionally, referring to Figure 23 The display panel using the pixel driving circuit further includes a first passivation layer PVX1 and a first planarization layer PLN1 that are sequentially stacked on the side of the third electrode plate CP3 away from the substrate F100, and the fourth electrode plate CP4 is arranged on the side of the first planarization layer PLN1 away from the substrate F100.
[0086] Referring to Figure 19The first planarization layer PLN1 at least includes a first portion SA1 and a second portion SA2. The first portion SA1 of the first planarization layer PLN1 is sandwiched between the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4. The second portion SA2 of the first planarization layer PLN1 does not overlap with the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4. The thickness of the first portion SA1 is less than the thickness of the second portion SA2. In other words, the display panel can reduce the distance between the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 at the first portion SA1 of the first planarization layer PLN1 by thinning the first portion SA1 of the first planarization layer PLN1, thereby improving the capacitance of the storage capacitor Cst.
[0087] Further optionally, the first planarization layer PLN1 can further include a third portion SA3 sandwiched between the first portion SA1 and the second portion SA2. The inner side edge SAE1 of the third portion SA3 can be completely located within the overlapping region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, and the outer side edge SAE2 of the third portion SA3 does not overlap with any one of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4. The thickness of the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can be uniform, for example, the thickness is the same as that of the first portion SA1 or the second portion SA2, or can be non-uniform, for example, part of the thickness is the same as that of the first portion SA1 and the remaining part is the same as that of the second portion SA2. It can be understood that the thickness of the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can also be in other states, for example, it can be in a gradual state, or in a stepped multiple mutation state, or in other regular or irregular states.
[0088] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can have the same thickness as the first portion SA1. In this way, both the first portion SA1 and the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 are thinned (both are thinning regions), so that the distance between the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 at any position of the overlapping region is reduced, which can maximize the capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst. In addition, since the second portion SA2 is not overlapped with the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, i.e., the boundary of the thinning region of the first planarization layer PLN1 (i.e., the outer edge SAE2 of the third portion SA3) is outside the overlapping region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, this can avoid the boundary of the thinning region of the first planarization layer PLN1 being in the overlapping region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, thereby avoiding the deviation of the overlapping area between the overlapping region and the thinning region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 caused by process errors, and further avoiding the change of the capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst caused by such deviation, which can ensure the uniformity of the storage capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst of different drive circuits.
[0089] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can have the same thickness as the second portion SA2. In this way, both the second portion SA2 and the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 are not thinned, and the first portion SA1 of the first planarization layer PLN1 is thinned (is a thinning region). Since the thinned first portion SA1 is overlapped with the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, i.e., the boundary of the thinning region of the first planarization layer PLN1 (i.e., the inner edge SAE1 of the third portion SA3) is completely within the overlapping region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, this can avoid the boundary of the thinning region of the first planarization layer PLN1 being only partially in the overlapping region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, thereby avoiding the deviation of the overlapping area between the overlapping region and the thinning region of the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 caused by process errors, and further avoiding the change of the capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst caused by such deviation, which can ensure the uniformity of the storage capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst of different drive circuits.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first portion SA1 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can have a thickness of zero to expose the first passivation layer PVX1. In this way, the first planarization layer PLN1 can have a hollowed-out shape at the position of the first portion SA1 to expose the first passivation layer PVX1, and the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4 are isolated by the first passivation layer PVX1 at the hollowed-out portion. In other words, the first passivation layer PVX1 has the first portion SA1 sandwiched between the third electrode plate CP3 and the fourth electrode plate CP4, and the first planarization layer PLN1 has a hollowed-out portion to expose the first passivation layer PVX1; the hollowed-out portion of the first planarization layer PLN1 exposes at least part of the first portion SA1 of the first passivation layer PVX1. It can be understood that the third portion SA3 of the first planarization layer PLN1 can not have a hollowed-out shape at all, or can have a partially hollowed-out shape, or can have a completely hollowed-out shape. Therefore, the first portion SA1 of the passivation layer PVX1 can be partially located in the hollowed-out portion of the first planarization layer PLN1, or can be completely located in the hollowed-out portion of the first planarization layer PLN1.

[0103] Referring to Figure 18The pixel driving circuit comprises a first metal wiring structure ML1 electrically connected with the first power voltage lead VDDL and insulated from the data lead DataL. Therefore, when the pixel driving circuit is working, the first power voltage VDD of constant voltage is loaded on the first metal wiring structure ML1. The orthogonal projection of the data lead DataL on the substrate F100 at least partially overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the first metal wiring structure ML1 on the substrate F100. In this way, the parasitic capacitance can be formed between the first metal wiring structure ML1 and the data lead DataL, thereby increasing the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance of the data lead DataL. When the display panel is provided with a DEMUX (DE-Multiplexer) to drive multiple columns of pixel driving circuits, the data voltage Vdata of each column of pixel driving circuits will be pre-stored in the parasitic capacitance of the data lead DataL and written into the storage capacitor Cst after the first transistor M1 is turned on. In the present disclosure, since the parasitic capacitance of the data lead DataL is increased, the charge capacity of the data lead DataL is large, the proportion of lost charge when storing the charge forming the data voltage Vdata is smaller, and the storage capacitor Cst has stronger charging capacity in the data writing stage, thereby improving the charging rate of the storage capacitor Cst.
[0104] Optionally, referring to Figure 17 The pixel driving circuit further comprises a second metal wiring structure ML2. The second metal wiring structure ML2 is connected with the second electrode of the fifth transistor M5 and the second electrode of the sixth transistor M6. Therefore, when the pixel driving circuit is working, the reference voltage Vref of constant voltage is loaded on the second metal wiring structure ML2. The orthogonal projection of the second metal wiring structure ML2 on the substrate F100 partially overlaps with the orthogonal projection of the data lead DataL on the substrate F100. In this way, the parasitic capacitance can be formed between the second metal wiring structure ML2 and the data lead DataL, thereby increasing the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance of the data lead DataL. In this way, the charging rate of the storage capacitor Cst is improved.

Referring to Figure 21 and Figure 22The pixel electrodes in the pixel electrode layer F310 can include a pixel electrode PR of a red light-emitting element, a pixel electrode PG of a green light-emitting element, and a pixel electrode PB of a blue light-emitting element; each pixel electrode is connected with a transfer via hole area HAP of a corresponding pixel driving circuit.
[0185] The structure of the pixel layer F300 is exemplarily introduced as follows, taking the light-emitting element 170 as an OLED as an example. It can be understood that the structure of the pixel layer F300 can also be other structures, which can be provided according to the light-emitting element 170.
[0186] In the exemplary pixel layer F300, the pixel layer F300 includes a pixel electrode layer, a pixel definition layer, a support column layer, an organic light-emitting functional layer, and a common electrode layer which are sequentially stacked. The pixel electrode layer has a plurality of pixel electrodes in the display area of the display panel; the pixel definition layer has a plurality of through pixel openings in the display area, which are arranged one by one corresponding to the plurality of pixel electrodes, and any one pixel opening exposes at least a partial area of the corresponding pixel electrode. The support column layer includes a plurality of support columns in the display area, and the support columns are located on the surface of the pixel definition layer away from the substrate substrate, so as to support a fine metal mask (FMM) in the evaporation process. The organic light-emitting functional layer at least covers the pixel electrode exposed by the pixel definition layer. The organic light-emitting functional layer can include an organic electroluminescent material layer, and can include one or more of a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer. Each film layer of the organic light-emitting functional layer can be prepared by an evaporation process, and a fine metal mask or an open mask can be used to define the pattern of each film layer during evaporation. The common electrode layer can cover the organic light-emitting functional layer in the display area. In this way, the pixel electrode, the common electrode layer, and the organic light-emitting functional layer located between the pixel electrode and the common electrode layer form an organic electroluminescent diode, and any one organic electroluminescent diode can serve as a sub-pixel of the display panel.
[0187] In some embodiments, the pixel layer can further include a light extraction layer located on the side of the common electrode layer away from the substrate substrate, so as to enhance the light extraction efficiency of the organic light-emitting diode.
[0188] Optionally, referring to Figure 23The display panel can further include a thin film encapsulation layer F400. The thin film encapsulation layer is arranged on the surface of the pixel layer away from the substrate, and can include inorganic encapsulation layers and organic encapsulation layers arranged alternately. The inorganic encapsulation layer can effectively block moisture and oxygen from the outside, so as to avoid water and oxygen from invading the organic light-emitting functional layer and causing material degradation. Optionally, the edge of the inorganic encapsulation layer can be located in the peripheral area. The organic encapsulation layer is located between two adjacent inorganic encapsulation layers, so as to achieve planarization and weaken the stress between the inorganic encapsulation layers. The edge of the organic encapsulation layer can be located between the display area and the edge of the inorganic encapsulation layer. Exemplarily, the thin film encapsulation layer includes a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer and a second inorganic encapsulation layer arranged sequentially on the side of the pixel layer away from the substrate.
[0189] Optionally, referring to Figure 23 The display panel can further include a touch function layer F500 arranged on the side of the thin film encapsulation layer away from the substrate, for realizing the touch operation of the display panel.

This application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present disclosure following the general principles thereof and including such departures from the present disclosure that come within known use or custom in the art.
