[0042] As Figure 1The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a pixel driving circuit in the related art. This pixel driving circuit may include a driving circuit 74, a first switching unit 71, a second switching unit 72, a third switching unit 73, and a capacitor C. The driving circuit connects the first node N1, the second node N2, and the third node N3, and is used to input driving current to the third node N3 through the second node N2 in response to the signal of the first node N1. The first terminal of the first switching unit 71 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD, the second terminal is connected to the second node N2, and the control terminal is connected to the pulse width modulation signal terminal PWM, and is used to connect the first power supply terminal VDD and the second node N2 in response to the pulse width modulation signal of the pulse width modulation signal terminal PWM. The second switching unit 72 is connected to the data signal terminal Da, the first node N1, and the first gate drive signal terminal G1, and is used to connect the first node N1 and the data signal terminal Da in response to the signal of the first gate drive signal terminal G1. The third switching unit 73 is connected to the third node N3, the sensing signal terminal Sense, and the second gate drive signal terminal G2, and is used to connect the third node N3 and the sensing signal terminal Sense in response to the signal of the second gate drive signal terminal G2.

The third node N3 is used to connect the first electrode of a light-emitting unit OLED, and the other electrode of the light-emitting unit OLED can be connected to the sixth power supply terminal VSS.

The first power supply terminal VDD may be a high-level power supply terminal, and the sixth power supply terminal VSS may be a low-level power supply terminal.
[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the pixel driving circuit can turn on the second transistor T2 in the data writing stage, and write the data signal to the first node N1 through the data signal end Da; in the light emitting stage, the first transistor T1 is turned on by the pulse width modulation signal of the pulse width modulation signal end PWM, so as to connect the first power supply end VDD and the second node, and drive the transistor DT to provide driving current to the third node N3 according to the voltage of the first node N1, so as to drive the light emitting unit OLED to emit light.

However, since the first transistor T1 is in the on state for a long time, the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 will drift seriously, which will affect the display effect.
[0045] Based on this, the present exemplary embodiment provides a display panel, as shown in Figure 2 、 3 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the display panel of the present disclosure, Figure 3 is Figure 2 a complete structural schematic diagram of the region A in FIG. 8. The display panel can include a plurality of pixel driving circuits Pix, which can be as shown in Figure 1 , wherein, Figure 2 shows the first switch unit 71 in the pixel driving circuit and other circuit structures P in the pixel driving circuit. A plurality of said pixel driving circuits Pix are arrayed along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect, for example, the first direction X can be the row direction, and the second direction Y can be the column direction.

As shown in Figure 2 、 3 , in the same pixel driving circuit group Pz, the second ends of the first switch units 71 in two said pixel driving circuits distributed in the second direction Y are connected to each other.
[0046] In the example embodiment, the display panel can provide the pulse width modulation signal to two pixel driving circuit rows in the same pixel driving circuit group in the same frame, and provide the pulse width modulation signal to different pixel driving circuit rows in the same pixel driving circuit group in at least partially different frames. For example, the display panel can provide the pulse width modulation signal to the odd pixel driving circuit row in the first driving period, at this time, the first switch unit 71 in the odd pixel driving circuit row is turned on, and the first power supply end VDD provides the power supply voltage to the second node N2 in the odd pixel driving circuit row and the second node N2 in the even pixel driving circuit row through the first switch unit 71 in the odd pixel driving circuit row, so as to realize that the odd pixel driving circuit row and the even pixel driving circuit row enter the light emitting stage at the same time. The display panel can provide the pulse width modulation signal to the even pixel driving circuit row in the second driving period, at this time, the first switch unit 71 in the even pixel driving circuit row is turned on, and the first power supply end VDD provides the power supply voltage to the second node N2 in the odd pixel driving circuit row and the second node N2 in the even pixel driving circuit row through the first switch unit 71 in the even pixel driving circuit row, so as to realize that the odd pixel driving circuit row and the even pixel driving circuit row enter the light emitting stage at the same time.

In the same pixel drive circuit group, the second terminals of the first switch units in two pixel drive circuits distributed adjacently in the second direction Y can be connected by a second connection line L2. The first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 intersect to form a grid structure, so as to reduce the potential difference of the second nodes in different pixel drive circuits. It should be understood that in other example embodiments, the display panel can also be provided with only the second connection line L2. In addition, in other example embodiments, in the same pixel drive circuit group, the second terminal of any first switch unit can be connected to the second terminal of the first switch unit in any position of the pixel drive circuit in another pixel drive circuit row. For example, in the same pixel drive circuit group, the second terminal of the first switch unit in the first column of pixel drive circuits in the odd pixel drive circuit row can be connected to the second terminal of the first switch unit in the second column of pixel drive circuits in the even pixel drive circuit row. Figure 2 In other example embodiments, the pixel drive circuit group Pz can further include pixel drive circuit rows of other numbers, and the plurality of pixel drive circuit rows in the same pixel drive circuit group Pz can be adjacently arranged.

In the second gate drive circuit 82: the first output terminal Out1 of the current stage shift register unit is connected to the signal input terminal In of the adjacent next stage shift register unit; the second signal input line STUB is connected to the signal input terminal In of the first stage shift register unit in the second gate drive circuit; the first clock signal line LC1 is connected to the first clock signal terminal CK1 of the odd stage shift register unit and the second clock signal terminal CK2 of the even stage shift register unit in the second gate drive circuit, and the second clock signal line LC2 is connected to the first clock signal terminal CK1 of the even stage shift register unit and the second clock signal terminal CK2 of the odd stage shift register unit in the second gate drive circuit. In addition, the display panel can further include a reset signal line LTRS connected to the reset signal terminals of all the shift register units.

Figure 5A timing diagram of each signal line in a driving method of the display panel is shown. Wherein, SUTA is a timing diagram of the first signal input line, STUB is a timing diagram of the second signal input line, LC1 is a timing diagram of the first clock signal line LC1, LC2 is a timing diagram of the second clock signal line, and LTRS is a timing diagram of the reset signal line. In this frame, the first signal input line STUA outputs a high-level pulse signal, and the shift register units in the first gate drive circuit 81 output pulse width modulation signals step by step to provide the pulse width modulation signals to the odd pixel drive circuit rows row by row. The second signal input line STUB continuously outputs a low-level signal, and each shift register unit in the second gate drive circuit 82 continuously outputs a low-level.

In addition, the first gate drive circuit 81 and the second gate drive circuit 82 alternately output pulse width modulation signals, and this setting can also provide sufficient threshold recovery time for the fourteenth transistor T14, the sixteenth transistor T16 and other transistors in the shift register unit. For example, when the first gate drive circuit 81 outputs the pulse width modulation signal, the gate of the fourteenth transistor T14 in the first gate drive circuit is at a high level for a long time, and the gate of the sixteenth transistor T16 is at a low level for a long time. When the second gate drive circuit 82 outputs the pulse width modulation signal, the gate of the fourteenth transistor T14 in the first gate drive circuit is at a low level for a long time, and the gate of the sixteenth transistor T16 is at a high level for a long time. This setting can improve the stability of the gate drive circuit.
