[0041] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the related drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0046] Since the film transistor (TFT) prepared by the LTPS technology has a hysteresis effect in operation, leading to the problem of TFT residual image of the OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display, in the related art, the process of the active layer p-Si / gate insulating layer GI / capacitive dielectric layer CI and other film layers is controlled and the film quality is optimized to improve the response speed to the applied electric field, reduce the hysteresis and residual image. Or add the BSM process (Back Side Metal) to improve the back channel effect, reduce the influence of static electricity, make the light-emitting material work more stably, and improve the residual image performance. In addition, in the pixel circuit, the pressure difference between VGMP and VGSP is usually reduced, that is, the pressure difference between black and white states is reduced, and the influence of the gate voltage of the DTFT (Driving Transistor) is reduced to improve the residual image. However, the above process and circuit for improving the TFT hysteresis effect have the problems of complex process parameter adjustment, instability, long period from TFT preparation to output test evaluation, high investment cost, and slow effect.
[0047] Figure 1 For the structure diagram of the pixel circuit in one of the embodiments of the present application, in one of the embodiments, the pixel circuit can include a first light-emitting unit 10, a second light-emitting unit 20, a first driving circuit 100, and a second driving circuit 200.
[0048] Optionally, the circuit structures of the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 are the same or similar. Optionally, the circuit structures of the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 are the same and symmetric about a center of symmetry.
[0049] The first driving circuit 100 can be electrically connected to the first electrode of the first light-emitting unit 10, and the first driving circuit 100 is configured to generate a driving current for driving the first light-emitting unit 10 to emit light. The first driving circuit 100 can be used to generate a driving current transmitted to the first electrode of the first light-emitting unit 10 to drive the first light-emitting unit 10 to emit light. Similarly, the second driving circuit 200 can be electrically connected to the first electrode of the second light-emitting unit 20, and the second driving circuit 200 is configured to generate a driving current for driving the second light-emitting unit 20 to emit light. The second driving circuit 200 can be used to generate a driving current transmitted to the first electrode of the second light-emitting unit 20 to drive the second light-emitting unit 20 to emit light. In the same pixel circuit, the first light-emitting unit 10 and the second light-emitting unit 20 have the same light-emitting color.
[0050] The power input of the first driving circuit 100 and the second electrode of the second light emitting unit 20 can be connected with a first power line respectively, and the power input of the second driving circuit 200 and the second electrode of the first light emitting unit 10 can be connected with a second power line respectively. The first power line can be used to provide the first light emitting unit 20 and the first driving circuit 100 with a first power supply signal V1 respectively, and the second power line can be used to provide the second light emitting unit 10 and the second driving circuit 200 with a second power supply signal V2 respectively. The first power supply signal V1 can include a first working voltage ELVDD, which can provide the first driving circuit 100 with a positive working voltage, and the first power supply signal V1 can also include a second working voltage ELVSS, which can provide the second electrode of the second light emitting unit 20 with a negative working voltage. Similarly, the second power supply signal V2 can also include a first working voltage ELVDD, which can provide the second driving circuit 200 with a positive working voltage, and the second power supply signal V2 can also include a second working voltage ELVSS, which can provide the second electrode of the first light emitting unit 10 with a negative working voltage.
[0051] The pixel circuit can include a light emitting stage in the working process of a display frame. In the embodiment, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time in the light emitting stage. That is, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are both alternating voltages or pulse voltages in the light emitting stage.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time in the light emitting stage, and the voltage highs and lows of the two are opposite. That is, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are both alternating voltages or pulse voltages in the light emitting stage, but the voltage highs and lows of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are opposite at the same time. For example, when the first power supply signal V1 is a high voltage, the second power supply signal V2 is a low voltage.
[0053] The first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 supply power to the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 alternately in the light emitting stage, and the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 output driving currents alternately in response to the voltage changes of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2, so that the first light emitting unit 10 and the second light emitting unit 20 can emit light alternately in the light emitting stage. The first light emitting unit 10 and the second light emitting unit 20 do not emit light at the same time, but emit light at different times.
[0054] In some embodiments, the technical effect of forming high-voltage ELVDD / low-voltage ELVSS alternating transitions of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be achieved by the timing design of the signals in the light-emitting stage, by corresponding design of the signals output by the first power supply line and the second power supply line.
[0055] In some other embodiments, the power input terminals of the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 can be respectively connected to the power line continuously providing the high-voltage ELVDD, and the second poles of the first light-emitting unit 10 and the second light-emitting unit 20 can be respectively connected to the power line continuously providing the low-voltage ELVSS. By connecting the light-emitting control units in the two driving circuits to different light-emitting control lines and performing timing design of the light-emitting control signals EM transmitted in the two light-emitting control lines respectively, the voltages of the two light-emitting control signals EM are controlled to be alternatingly turned on in the light-emitting stage, so as to make the first light-emitting unit 10 and the second light-emitting unit 20 emit light alternately. For example, in the first half of the light-emitting stage, the voltage of the light-emitting control signal EM in the first driving circuit 100 is turned on, and the voltage of the light-emitting control signal EM in the second driving circuit 200 is turned off, so that the first light-emitting unit 10 emits light in the first half, and the second light-emitting unit 20 does not emit light in the first half; in the second half of the light-emitting stage, the voltage of the light-emitting control signal EM in the first driving circuit 100 is turned off, and the voltage of the light-emitting control signal EM in the second driving circuit 200 is turned on, so that the first light-emitting unit 10 does not emit light in the second half, and the second light-emitting unit 20 emits light in the second half.
[0056] Compared with the existing pixel circuit in which only one light-emitting unit emits light in the working process of one display frame, the above pixel circuit drives the first light-emitting unit 10 and the second light-emitting unit 20 by the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 respectively, simultaneously makes the first power supply line and the second power supply line provide the voltage signals with high-low jumps with opposite high and low voltages in the light-emitting stage, so as to form the bidirectional display of the two light-emitting units in one display frame. On the one hand, the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 work alternately in the light-emitting stage, which can shorten the working time of each of the two driving circuits, thereby reducing the hysteresis effect of the driving circuit and the residual image; on the other hand, the two light-emitting units emit light alternately, so the brightness decay of the light-emitting unit can be reduced to some extent and the service life of the light-emitting unit can be prolonged.
[0057] In one of the embodiments, the circuit structures of the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 are the same or similar, and the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 can each include a data writing unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a driving unit 130.

The data writing unit 110 can also be connected to the first scan line and the data line respectively, and the data writing unit 110 can obtain the first scan signal Scan1 through the first scan line and obtain the data signal Data through the data line, so as to transmit the data signal Data to the control end of the driving unit 130 according to the first scan signal S1.
[0059] In one of the embodiments, optionally, in the same pixel circuit, the first scan signal for controlling the data writing unit 110 in the two driving circuits can be the same signal, that is, the control end of the data writing unit 110 in the first driving circuit 100 and the control end of the data writing unit in the second driving circuit 200 are connected to the same first scan line.

In the same pixel circuit, the data line writes the same data voltage to the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200.
[0061] The first end of the storage unit 120 in the first driving circuit 100 can be connected to the first power line, and the second end of the storage unit 120 in the first driving circuit 100 can be connected to the control end of the driving unit 130 in the first driving circuit 100. The first end of the storage unit 120 in the second driving circuit 200 can be connected to the second power line, and the second end of the storage unit 120 in the second driving circuit 200 can be connected to the control end of the driving unit 130 in the second driving circuit 200. In the same driving circuit, the storage unit 120 can be used to store the voltage at the control end of the driving unit 130.
[0062] The driving unit 130 in the first driving circuit 100 can be connected between the power input end of the first driving circuit 100 and the first electrode of the first light emitting unit 10, and the driving unit 130 in the second driving circuit 200 can be connected between the power input end of the second driving circuit 200 and the first electrode of the second light emitting unit 20.

The driving current generated by the driving unit 130 in the first driving circuit 100 is transmitted to the first electrode of the first light emitting unit 10, which can drive the first light emitting unit 10 to emit light. The driving current generated by the driving unit 130 in the second driving circuit 200 is transmitted to the first electrode of the second light emitting unit 20, which can drive the second light emitting unit 20 to emit light.
[0063] In the pixel circuit provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 can use the data writing unit 110 to write the data signal Data into the control end of the driving unit 130 in response to the first scanning signal, and the storage unit 120 stores the voltage at the control end of the driving unit 130.

[0110] Based on the description of the above pixel circuit embodiments, the present disclosure can also provide a driving method of the pixel circuit. The pixel circuit can include a device (including a distributed system), software (application), module, component, server, client, etc. using the driving method described in the embodiments of the present application and combining the necessary implementation hardware. Based on the same innovative concept, the driving method in one or more embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in the following embodiments. Since the implementation scheme of the driving method solves the problem, which is similar to the above-mentioned pixel circuit, the specific driving method of the embodiments of the present application can be referred to the foregoing implementation of the pixel circuit, and the repeated parts will not be described herein. The term "unit" or "module" used below can be a combination of software and / or hardware that realizes a predetermined function. Although the method described in the following embodiments is preferably realized in software, the realization of hardware or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and conceived.
[0111] The application can also provide a driving method of the pixel circuit, Figure 4 For a method flowchart of the pixel driving method in one of the embodiments of the application, in one of the embodiments, the driving method of the pixel circuit can include the following step S100.
[0112] Step S100: in the light-emitting stage, the first power supply signal and the second power supply signal received by the pixel circuit are configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time, so that the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit emit light alternately.
[0113] The pixel circuit provided in the above embodiments can include a light-emitting stage in the working process of one display frame. In the light-emitting stage, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time, and the high and low voltages of the two are opposite. That is, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are both alternating voltage or pulse voltage in the light-emitting stage.
[0114] In some embodiments, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time in the light-emitting stage, and the high and low voltages of the two are opposite. That is, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are both alternating voltage or pulse voltage in the light-emitting stage. At the same time, the high and low voltages of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be opposite. For example, when the first power supply signal V1 is high voltage, the second power supply signal V2 is low voltage. When the first power supply signal V1 is low voltage, the second power supply signal V2 is high voltage.
[0115] Compared with the existing pixel circuit in which one light-emitting unit emits light per frame, in the driving method of the above pixel circuit, the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 drive the first light-emitting unit 10 and the second light-emitting unit 20 respectively. By providing the first power supply line and the second power supply line with voltage signals having high and low jumps in voltage over time and opposite high and low voltages in the light-emitting stage, bidirectional display of two light-emitting units in one display frame is formed. On the one hand, the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 work alternately in the light-emitting stage, which can shorten the working time of each of the two driving circuits, thereby reducing the hysteresis effect of the driving circuit and reducing the residual image. On the other hand, the two light-emitting units emit light alternately, so the brightness decay of the light-emitting unit can be reduced to some extent and the service life of the light-emitting unit can be prolonged.
[0116] Figure 5 For a timing diagram of the pixel circuit in one of the embodiments of the application, Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time in the light-emitting stage.Figure 2 or Figure 3 Taking the pixel circuit shown as an example, combined with Figure 5 The timing diagram shown provides a detailed description of the operation of the pixel circuit within a display frame. Figure 2 or Figure 3 In the pixel circuit shown, all transistors are P-type transistors. Therefore, the turn-on voltage of the transistors in the figure is low, and the cut-off voltage is high.
[0117] In one embodiment, the pixel circuitry may include a first initialization phase, a data writing phase, a second initialization phase, and a light emission phase during the operation of a display frame.
[0118] In the first initialization phase S1, the third scan signal Scan3 can be configured as the on-voltage, and the first scan signal Scan1, the second scan signal Scan2, and the light emission control signal EM can be configured as the off-voltage. That is, in the first initialization phase S1, the fourth transistor T4 and the fourth transistor T4' are turned on, while the other transistors are turned off.
[0119] Therefore, during the first initialization phase S1, the first driving circuit 100 can transmit the initialization signal Vref to the gate of the first transistor T1 through the fourth transistor T4, and the second driving circuit 200 can transmit the initialization signal Vref to the gate of the first transistor T1' through the fourth transistor T4'. Since the gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the storage capacitor C1, and the gate of the first transistor T1' is connected to the storage capacitor C1', the initialization signal Vref can initialize either the storage capacitor C1 or the storage capacitor C1'. Additionally, the initialization signal Vref can also apply a negative initial voltage to the gates of the first transistor T1 and the first transistor T1' to initialize them.
[0120] In one embodiment, optionally, during the first initialization phase S1, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured as the same signal. Specifically, during the first initialization phase S1, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can both be equal to the voltage provided by the first power supply signal V1 when the first light-emitting unit 10 emits light during the light-emitting phase S4. During the light-emitting phase S4, to ensure that the relationship between the gate-source voltage difference between the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 and the threshold voltage satisfies the conduction condition, thereby enabling the output of a drive current to drive the first light-emitting unit 10 to emit light, the first power supply signal V1 can be configured as a high level ELVDD, and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured as a low level ELVSS. During the first initialization phase S1, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can both be at the high level ELVDD.
[0121] In the data writing stage S2, the first scan signal Scan1 can be configured as a turn-on voltage, and the second scan signal Scan2, the third scan signal Scan3 and the emission control signal EM can be configured as turn-off voltages. At this time, the second transistor T2, the seventh transistor T7, the second transistor T2', the seventh transistor T7' are turned on, and the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the third transistor T3', the fourth transistor T4', the fifth transistor T5' and the sixth transistor T6' are all turned off.
[0122] In one embodiment, optionally, in the data writing stage S2, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can also be configured as the same signal. Specifically, in the data writing stage S2, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can both be equal to the voltage provided by the first power supply signal V1 when the first light emitting unit 10 emits light in the light emitting stage S4. In the light emitting stage S4, in order to make the gate-source voltage difference of the first transistor T1 and the threshold voltage meet the turn-on condition, so as to be able to output a driving current to drive the first light emitting unit 10 to emit light, the first power supply signal V1 can be configured as a high level ELVDD, and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured as a low level ELVSS. In the data writing stage S2, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can both be high level ELVDD.
[0123] In the data writing stage S2, the second transistor T2 can transmit the threshold-compensated data signal Data+Vth to the gate of the first transistor T1, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1. Since the first end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the first power supply line, and the second end of the storage capacitor C1 is connected to the gate of the first transistor T1, the potential at the first end of the storage capacitor C1 in the first driving circuit 100 is ELVDD, and the potential at the second end is Data+Vth, which realizes the compensation of the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1, so that the voltage stored in the storage capacitor C1 is the voltage difference between ELVDD and Data+Vth. Similarly, the voltage stored in the storage capacitor C1' in the second driving circuit 200 is also the voltage difference between ELVDD and Data+Vth. Thus, in the light emitting stage S4, when the first transistor T1 or the first transistor T1' is turned on, the gate-source voltage Vgs of the first transistor T1 or the first transistor T1' is Data+Vth.
[0124] In the second initialization stage S3, the second scan signal Scan2 can be configured as a turn-on voltage (e.g. low voltage), and the first scan signal Scan1, the third scan signal Scan3 and the emission control signal EM are configured as turn-off voltages (e.g. high voltage), i.e. the third transistor T3 and the third transistor T3' are turned on in the second initialization stage S3, and the rest of the transistors are turned off.
[0125] Therefore, in the second initialization stage S3, the first driving circuit 100 can transmit the initialization signal Vref to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 through the third transistor T3, and the second driving circuit 200 can transmit the initialization signal Vref to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2 through the third transistor T3'. A negative voltage is applied to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 and the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2 by the initialization signal Vref, so as to initialize the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 and the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2, thereby preventing the influence of the electrical signal remaining in the light-emitting stage of the last display frame on this time of light-emitting.
[0126] In one embodiment, optionally, in the second initialization stage S3, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured as the same signal. Specifically, in the second initialization stage S3, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can be equal to the voltage provided by the second power supply signal V2 when the first light-emitting unit 10 emits light in the light-emitting stage S4. In the light-emitting stage S4, in order to make the gate-source voltage difference of the first transistor T1 and the threshold voltage meet the turn-on condition, so as to be able to output a driving current to drive the first light-emitting unit 10 to emit light, the first power supply signal V1 can be configured as a high level ELVDD, and the second power supply signal V2 can be configured as a low level ELVSS. In the second initialization stage S3, the voltage of the first power supply signal V1 and the voltage of the second power supply signal V2 can be low level ELVSS.
[0127] In the light-emitting stage S4, the emission control signal EM can be configured as a turn-on voltage, and the first scan signal Scan1, the second scan signal Scan2 and the third scan signal Scan3 can be configured as turn-off voltages. That is, in the light-emitting stage S4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the fifth transistor T5' and the sixth transistor T6' are turned on, and the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the seventh transistor T7, the second transistor T2', the third transistor T3', the fourth transistor T4' and the seventh transistor T7' are turned off.
[0128] When the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, the fifth transistor T5', and the sixth transistor T6' are turned on according to the light-emitting control signal EM, the first power supply line and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 in the first drive circuit 100, and the connection between the second electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 are all turned on; the second power supply line and the first electrode of the first transistor T1'in the second drive circuit 200, and the connection between the second electrode of the first transistor T1'and the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2 are all turned on.
[0129] The first power supply signal V1 provided by the first power supply line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 through the sixth transistor T6. If the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is consistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D1, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 meets the turn-on condition with the threshold voltage, and the driving current generated by the first transistor T1 can be transmitted to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 through the fifth transistor T5. If the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is inconsistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D1, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 does not meet the turn-on condition with the threshold voltage, and the first transistor T1 will not be able to generate driving current.
[0130] Similarly, the second power supply signal V2 provided by the second power supply line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1'through the sixth transistor T6'. If the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is consistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D2, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1'meets the turn-on condition with the threshold voltage, and the driving current generated by the first transistor T1'can be transmitted to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2 through the fifth transistor T5'. If the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is inconsistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D2, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1'does not meet the turn-on condition with the threshold voltage, and the first transistor T1'will not be able to generate driving current.
[0131] As Figure 5, the first supply signal V1 and the second supply signal V2 are alternating voltages in the light emitting stage S4, the voltages of the first supply signal V1 and the second supply signal V2 are high-low jumping in the light emitting stage S4, and the high-low of the voltages of the two supply signals are opposite. For example, when the voltage of the first supply signal V1 is the high voltage ELVDD, the voltage of the second supply signal V1 is the low voltage ELVSS, when the voltage of the first supply signal V1 is the low voltage ELVSS, the voltage of the second supply signal V1 is the high voltage ELVDD. Therefore, the first supply signal V1 and the second supply signal V2 can make the light emitting diode D1 and the light emitting diode D2 emit light alternately.
[0132] As shown in the light emitting stage S4, Figure 5 in the first half of the light emitting stage a, the first supply signal V1 is the high voltage ELVDD, and the second supply signal V2 is the low voltage ELVSS. The high voltage ELVDD provided by the first power line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 through the sixth transistor T6, and the high voltage ELVDD provided by the first power line is also transmitted to the second electrode of the light emitting diode D2. The low voltage ELVSS provided by the second power line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1' through the sixth transistor T6', and the low voltage ELVSS provided by the second power line is also transmitted to the second electrode of the light emitting diode D1.
[0133] At this time, in the first drive circuit 100, the high-low relationship of the first supply signal V1 and the second supply signal V2 is consistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light emitting diode D1, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 meets the conduction condition with the threshold voltage, and therefore the driving current generated by the first transistor T1 can be transmitted to the first electrode of the light emitting diode D1 through the fifth transistor T5 to drive the light emitting diode D1 to emit light. In the second drive circuit 200, the high-low relationship of the first supply signal V1 and the second supply signal V2 is inconsistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light emitting diode D2, the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1' does not meet the conduction condition with the threshold voltage, and therefore the light emitting diode D2 does not emit light.
[0134] In the second half of the light emitting stage b, the first supply signal V1 is the low voltage ELVSS, and the second supply signal V2 is the high voltage ELVDD. The low voltage ELVSS provided by the first power line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1 through the sixth transistor T6, and the low voltage ELVSS provided by the first power line is transmitted to the second electrode of the light emitting diode D2. The high voltage ELVDD provided by the second power line is transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1' through the sixth transistor T6', and the high voltage ELVDD provided by the second power line is also transmitted to the second electrode of the light emitting diode D1.
[0135] At this time, in the second driving circuit 200, the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is consistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D2, and the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1' meets the conduction condition with the threshold voltage, so that the driving current generated by the first transistor T1' can be transmitted to the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D2 through the fifth transistor T5' to drive the light-emitting diode D2 to emit light. In the first driving circuit 100, the high-low relationship of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 is inconsistent with the corresponding relationship of the anode and the cathode of the light-emitting diode D1, and the gate-source voltage difference of the gate and the first electrode of the first transistor T1 does not meet the conduction condition with the threshold voltage, so that the light-emitting diode D1 does not emit light.
[0136] It can be seen that, in the above pixel circuit, the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 are used to drive the light-emitting diode D1 and the light-emitting diode D2 respectively, and at the same time, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 are configured to have high and low jumps in voltage over time at the light-emitting stage S4, and the voltage of the two power supply signals is opposite, so that the light-emitting diode D1 and the light-emitting diode D2 can emit light alternately at the light-emitting stage S4 according to the voltage change of the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2. On the one hand, the working time of the driving transistor in the first driving circuit 100 and the second driving circuit 200 can be shortened, and the electrical stress of the driving transistor is effectively reduced, so as to reduce the hysteresis effect and reduce the TFT residual image. On the other hand, the alternating light-emitting of the two OLEDs can also reduce the brightness decay of the OLED device to some extent, and prolong the service life of the OLED device.
[0137] Figure 6 For the timing diagram of the pixel circuit in another embodiment of the present application, the first power supply signal V1 and the second power supply signal V2 can also be alternating voltage signals as shown in Figure 6 The light-emitting stage corresponds to two alternating periods so that the light-emitting diode D1 and the light-emitting diode D2 emit light alternately twice. In some other embodiments, the alternating period at the light-emitting stage can also be set arbitrarily according to display requirements, and one light-emitting stage can correspond to a plurality of alternating periods so that the two OLEDs emit light alternately uniformly at the light-emitting stage. The light-emitting time of the two OLEDs can also be made uneven to adapt to the performance difference of the OLED device.
