All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0078] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular "comprises" and the present participle "comprising," are interpreted as open-ended and encompassing, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0079] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0080] "At least one of A, B and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B or C", both including the following combinations of A, B and C: only A, only B, only C, combinations of A and B, combinations of A and C, combinations of B and C, and combinations of A, B and C.
[0081] The use of “configured as” in this article implies an open and inclusive language that does not exclude the applicability to or configuration of devices to perform additional tasks or steps.
[0082] In all embodiments of this disclosure, the transistors used can be thin film transistors (TFTs), metal oscillator transistors (MOSs), or other devices with the same characteristics. This disclosure does not limit the types of transistors used.
[0083] For example, the transistor can be a TFT. The TFT can be fabricated using a-Si technology, oxide semiconductor technology, low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) technology, or high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) technology. The embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this regard.
[0084] The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the type of transistor. The transistor can be an N-type transistor, a P-type transistor, an enhancement-mode transistor, or a depletion-mode transistor. In the embodiments of this disclosure, all transistors are N-type transistors as an example to illustrate this application. An N-type transistor is turned on under a high-level voltage signal and turned off under a low-level voltage signal; that is, the operating voltage of an N-type transistor is a high-level voltage, and the turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage.
[0085] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the gate of the transistor is the control electrode. To distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor other than the gate, one electrode is directly described as the first electrode, and the other as the second electrode. In this case, the first electrode of the transistor can be either the source or the drain, and the second electrode can be either the source or the drain. Since the source and drain of the transistor can be structurally symmetrical, they can be structurally indistinguishable.
[0086] The capacitor in this embodiment can be a capacitor device manufactured separately through a process, such as by fabricating dedicated capacitor electrodes. The individual capacitor electrodes (first and second plates) can be implemented using metal layers, semiconductor layers (e.g., doped polysilicon), etc. The capacitor can also be the parasitic capacitance between transistors, or implemented through the transistor itself and other devices or circuits, or by utilizing the parasitic capacitance between circuit lines themselves.
[0087] Each of the aforementioned transistors may further include at least one switching transistor connected in parallel with each transistor. The embodiments described in this disclosure are merely illustrative examples of pixel driving circuits and gate driving circuits; other structures with the same function as pixel driving circuits and gate driving circuits will not be described in detail, but should all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0088] In the embodiments of this disclosure, "first node," "second node," etc., do not refer to actual existing components, but rather to the junction points of related electrical connections in the circuit diagram. In other words, these nodes are equivalent to the junction points of related electrical connections in the circuit diagram.
[0089] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a display device 1000, see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a display device 1000, which can be any device that displays images, whether moving (e.g., video) or fixed (e.g., still images), and whether it is text or images.
[0090] For example, the display device 1000 can be any product or component with display function, such as a television, laptop computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), navigator, wearable device, augmented reality (AR) device, virtual reality (VR) device, etc.
[0091] See Figure 2 The display device 1000 includes a display panel 1100, a data driving circuit 1200 disposed on the display panel 1100, and a circuit board 1300 (e.g., a source PCB) electrically connected to the display panel 1100 and the data driving circuit 1200. For example, the data driving circuit 1200 may be a source driver IC, and the circuit board 1300 may be a source PCB.
[0092] The display panel 1100 has a display area AA and a peripheral area BB located at least on one side of the display area AA. For example, see [reference needed]. Figure 2The display panel 1100 has a display area AA and a peripheral area BB surrounding the display area AA. The data driving circuit 1200 is disposed in the peripheral area BB of the display panel 1100.
[0093] The display panel 1100 includes multiple subpixels P, multiple data lines DL, multiple first gate lines GL1, multiple second gate lines GL2, and multiple sensing signal lines SL. Figure 2 (not shown in the image) and multiple gate drive circuits 1120.
[0094] Each pixel P may include a pixel driving circuit 1110 and a light-emitting device EL. The multiple light-emitting devices EL of multiple pixels P can emit at least three primary colors, such as red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light.
[0095] Multiple pixels P are arranged in multiple columns along a first direction X (multiple columns of pixels P arranged along the first direction X) and multiple rows along a second direction Y (multiple rows of pixels P arranged along the second direction Y). Each row of pixels P includes multiple pixels P arranged along the first direction X, and each column of pixels P includes multiple pixels P arranged along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect; for example, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.
[0096] Along the second direction Y, the multiple rows of pixels P include alternating rows of odd-numbered pixels P1 and even-numbered pixels P2. For example, along the first direction X and away from the data driving circuit 1200, the first, third, fifth, ..., (N-1)th rows are all odd-numbered rows of pixels P1. The second, fourth, sixth, ..., Nth rows are all even-numbered rows of pixels P2. Here, N is a positive integer, and N is even.
[0097] See Figure 2 Gate driving circuit 1120 is disposed in peripheral area BB. Each group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 are electrically connected to a gate driving circuit 1120 through a first gate line GL1 and a second gate line GL2, respectively. Multiple gate driving circuits 1120 are cascaded. Each column of pixels P is electrically connected to data driving circuit 1200 through a data line DL, and each column of pixels P is electrically connected to a sensing signal line SL. Figure 2 The sensing signal line SL is not shown in the image.
[0098] It is understood that in the embodiments of this disclosure, "a set of adjacent odd-numbered rows of pixels and even-numbered rows of pixels" refers to a row of odd-numbered rows of pixels P1 and a row of even-numbered rows of pixels P2 that are electrically connected to the same gate driving circuit 1120 (and electrically connected to the same light-emitting control circuit 100).
[0099] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of a pixel driving circuit 1110 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The pixel driving circuit 1110 may include a driving transistor T101, a data writing transistor T102, a sensing transistor T103, and an energy storage capacitor Cst.
[0100] Specifically, the control electrode of the data writing transistor T102 is electrically connected to the first gate line GL1, the first electrode is electrically connected to the data line DL, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the control electrode of the driving transistor T101. The first electrode of the driving transistor T101 is electrically connected to the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device EL. The control electrode of the sensing transistor T103 is electrically connected to the second gate line GL2, the first electrode is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device EL, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the sensing signal line SL. The first plate of the energy storage capacitor Cst is electrically connected to the control electrode of the driving transistor T101, and the second plate is electrically connected to the anode of the light-emitting device EL.
[0101] Because light-emitting diodes (ELs) age after prolonged operation (emitting light), they need to be compensated to ensure that they can display the required grayscale data.
[0102] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 The pixel driving circuit 1110 shown is a timing control diagram. A frame period (Frame) F includes a blank phase (Blank) B and a display phase (Display) D. The blank phase B includes a sensing data writing phase B1, a sensing phase B2, and a display data write-back phase B3.
[0103] During the sensing data writing stage B1, the gate driving circuit 1120 controls the data writing transistor T102 to turn on via the first gate line GL1, and the data driving circuit 1200 writes the sensing grayscale data VGm to the control electrode of the driving transistor T101 via the data line DL. The sensing grayscale data VGm turns on the driving transistor T101, and the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD charges the anode of the light-emitting device EL through the driving transistor T101.
[0104] During the sensing phase B2, the data writing transistor T102 is turned off, and the second gate line GL2 controls the sensing transistor T103 to turn on, and the sensing signal line SL senses the voltage of the anode of the light-emitting device EL.
[0105] It is understood that the process of compensating the light-emitting device EL is a conventional technique in the art, and other processes of compensating the light-emitting device EL in the embodiments of this disclosure will not be described in detail.
[0106] During the display stage, the gate driving circuit 1120 can control the data writing transistor T102 to turn on through the first gate line GL1, and the data driving circuit 1200 writes the display grayscale data Dn to the control electrode of the driving transistor T101 through the data line DL; the display grayscale data Dn controls the driving transistor T101 to turn on, the power supply voltage signal terminal CDD is connected to the anode of the light-emitting device EL, the driving current flows through the light-emitting device EL, and the light-emitting device EL works.
[0107] In some embodiments, the light-emitting device (EL) can be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). In this case, the luminous efficiency of the EL is positively correlated with the magnitude (or current density) of the current flowing through the EL. That is, when the magnitude of the current flowing through the EL is small, the luminous efficiency of the EL is low, and when the magnitude of the current flowing through the EL is large, the luminous efficiency of the EL is high.
[0108] To improve the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device (EL) when displaying low grayscale, some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a pixel driving circuit 1110, see reference. Figure 5 , Figure 5 In order to be in Figure 3 The equivalent circuit diagram of pixel driving circuit 1110 after adding light-emitting control transistor T104 to the pixel driving circuit shown is as follows. Light-emitting control transistor T104 is used to modulate the emission time of light-emitting device EL (i.e., pulse width modulation; abbreviated as PWM) to change the emission space ratio of light-emitting device EL within a frame, thereby shortening the emission time of light-emitting device EL. By shortening the emission time of light-emitting device EL, the current flowing through light-emitting device EL during emission increases, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of light-emitting device EL.
[0109] See Figure 5 The control electrode of the light-emitting control transistor T104 is electrically connected to the gate drive circuit 1120 through the light-emitting control scan line EM, the first electrode is electrically connected to the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the first electrode of the drive transistor T101.
[0110] In some embodiments, the light-emitting control transistor T104 can be an oxide thin-film transistor (oxide TFT), which has high electron mobility and good turn-off characteristics. This facilitates the complete switching on or off of the light-emitting control transistor T104 during the time-emission modulation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0111] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , Figure 6The equivalent circuit diagram is shown for a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2, where only one pixel P is shown as an example in each row. The second terminal of the light-emitting control transistor T104(1) of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the light-emitting control transistor T104(2) of the even-numbered row pixel P2 via a connecting line L0. In this way, a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 share the light-emitting control transistor T104.
[0112] Within the same frame period F, one of the light-emitting control transistors T104(1) for odd-numbered row pixels P1 and T104(2) for even-numbered row pixels P2 modulates the emission time of the two light-emitting devices EL of the corresponding pixels P in the two rows, while the other remains off (always in the off state within the corresponding frame period). In this way, the risk of damage or threshold voltage drift of the light-emitting control transistor T104 due to long-term operation can be reduced, and the reliability of the light-emitting control transistor T104 can be improved.
[0113] Within different frame periods F, the light-emitting control transistor T104(1) of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 and the light-emitting control transistor T104(2) of the even-numbered row pixel P2 alternately modulate the light-emitting time of the two light-emitting devices EL of the corresponding pixels P in the two rows, and alternately rest.
[0114] In related technologies, due to the use of the aforementioned pixel driving circuit (a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 share a light-emitting control transistor T104), within one frame period, one of the two light-emitting control scan lines EM electrically connected to the group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 continuously outputs a shutdown voltage (low-level voltage signal), and the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the row pixel P electrically connected to the corresponding light-emitting control scan line EM is in a turned-off state; the other light-emitting control scan line EM outputs a pulse signal, and the pulse signal may also be a shutdown voltage during the sensing data writing stage B1, so the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the row pixel P electrically connected to the corresponding light-emitting control scan line EM may also be in a turned-off state. However, during the sensing data writing stage B1, when the light-emitting control transistors T104 of a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 are both in the off state, and one of the adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 is selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL, the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the corresponding row pixel P cannot be turned on. The anode of the light-emitting device EL is electrically insulated from the power supply voltage VDD, so the charging of the light-emitting device EL cannot be completed, and therefore the compensation of the light-emitting device EL cannot be performed.
[0115] To address the aforementioned problems, some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a gate drive circuit 1120, see reference. Figure 7The gate driving circuit 1120 includes a light emission control circuit 100, a random detection circuit 200, and a shift register circuit 300.
[0116] The random detection circuit 200 can also be called a random sense unit. The random detection circuit 200 is configured to randomly select a row of pixels P in each frame period F and compensate the light-emitting device EL of the selected row of pixels P.
[0117] Multiple shift register circuits 300 are cascaded sequentially. Each shift register circuit 300 is electrically connected to a first gate line GL1 and a second gate line GL2, and is configured to output a first scan signal to the first gate line GL1 and a second scan signal to the second gate line GL2. A random detection circuit 200 is electrically connected to two shift register circuits 300 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (As shown).
[0118] For example, see Figure 8 The shift register circuit 300 includes a first shift register sub-circuit GL1 GOA and a second shift register sub-circuit GL2 GOA; multiple first shift register sub-circuits GL1 GOA of multiple shift register circuits 300 are cascaded sequentially, and multiple second shift register sub-circuits GL2 GOA of multiple shift register circuits 300 are cascaded sequentially. It should be noted that... Figure 7 The first shift register subcircuit GL1 GOA is shown only as an example.
[0119] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of a light-emitting control circuit 100. The light-emitting control circuit 100 includes a first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 and a second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120.
[0120] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 Multiple gate driving circuits 1120 and multiple light-emitting control circuits 100 are cascaded sequentially. Exemplarily, the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 of each gate driving circuit 1120 is cascaded with each other, wherein the first cascaded output signal terminal CR1 of the previous stage first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 is electrically connected to the first input signal terminal IN1 of the next stage first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110. The second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 of each gate driving circuit 1120 is cascaded sequentially, wherein the second cascaded output signal terminal CR2 of the previous stage second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 is electrically connected to the second input signal terminal IN2 of the next stage second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120.
[0121] Each light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to a first light-emitting control scan line EM1 and a second light-emitting control scan line EM2, and is configured to output light-emitting control signals through the first light-emitting control scan line EM1 and the second light-emitting control scan line EM2 to modulate the light-emitting duration of a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 electrically connected thereto.
[0122] For example, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 Each light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2. The first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to the odd-numbered row pixels P1, and the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 is electrically connected to the even-numbered row pixels P2. Thus, the first output signal terminal EM1 is electrically connected to the control electrode of the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the odd-numbered row pixels P1, and the second output signal terminal EM2 is electrically connected to the control electrode of the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the even-numbered row pixels P2.
[0123] In the embodiments of this disclosure, for the sake of simplicity, the first output signal terminal and the first light-emitting control signal line are labeled with the same numeral EM1 to indicate that the first output signal terminal is electrically connected to the first light-emitting control signal line; the second output signal terminal and the second light-emitting control signal line are labeled with the same numeral EM2 to indicate that the second output signal terminal and the second light-emitting control signal line are electrically connected.
[0124] The first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 includes a first detection and control unit 111 and a first light-emitting output unit 112. The second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 includes a second detection and control unit 121 and a second light-emitting output unit 122.
[0125] The first detection control unit 111 is electrically connected to the detection control terminal VH, the first clock signal terminal CKA1, the first voltage signal terminal VGH, and the first node N1. It is configured to transmit the first voltage signal from the first voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1 under the control of the detection control signal from the detection control terminal VH and the first clock signal from the first clock signal terminal CKA1.
[0126] The first light-emitting output unit 112 is electrically connected to the first node N1, the first voltage signal terminal VGH and the first output signal terminal EM1, and is configured to transmit the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 under the control of the voltage of the first node N1.
[0127] The second detection control unit 121 is electrically connected to the detection control terminal VH, the second clock signal terminal CKA2, the first voltage signal terminal VGH, and the second node N2, and is configured to transmit the first voltage signal to the second node N2 under the control of the detection control signal and the second clock signal from the second clock signal terminal CKLB.
[0128] The second light-emitting output unit 122 is electrically connected to the second node N2, the first voltage signal terminal VGH, and the second output signal terminal EM2, and is configured to transmit the first voltage signal to the second output signal terminal EM2 under the voltage control of the second node N2.
[0129] In some embodiments, when a row of pixels P is selected and the light-emitting device EL of that row of pixels P is compensated, the detection control terminal VH can output a working voltage (high-level voltage signal) to the light-emitting control circuit 100 electrically connected to that row of pixels P.
[0130] For example, when the Nth row (N is an even number) pixel P is selected and the light-emitting device EL of the Nth row pixel P is compensated, the detection control terminal VH in the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 electrically connected to the Nth row pixel and the detection control terminal VH in the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 electrically connected to the (N-1)th row pixel simultaneously generate a working voltage (high-level voltage signal).
[0131] The first voltage signal terminal VGH can be a voltage signal terminal that continuously outputs a high level, thus the first voltage signal is a high-level voltage signal.
[0132] Within the same frame period F, one of the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal during the blank phase B, while the other outputs a continuous low-level voltage signal. In different frame periods, the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 alternately output pulse signals during the blank phase B (e.g., ...). Figure 18 (As shown). Thus, during the blank phase B of the same frame period F, there is only one output pulse signal in the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2. In this way, when selecting a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 for light-emitting device compensation, one of the two light-emitting control transistors T104 of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 is turned on, while the other is turned off.
[0133] For example, the output pulse signal is switched between the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 every frame period F. That is, during the blank phase B of the odd-numbered frame period (e.g., 1, 3, 5, etc.), one of the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal; during the blank phase B of the even-numbered frame period (e.g., 2, 4, 6, etc.), the other of the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal.
[0134] For example, every two frame periods (e.g.) Figure 18 As shown, the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 switch the output pulse signal once. That is, in the first, third, fifth, ..., N-1th "two-frame cycles", one of the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal in the blank phase X2; in the second, fourth, sixth, ..., Nth "two-frame cycles", the other of the first clock signal terminal CKA1 and the second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal in the blank phase B. Where N is an even number.
[0135] When a row of pixels P is selected for compensation, the light-emitting control transistor T104 turns on one of the adjacent odd-numbered rows of pixels P1 and even-numbered rows of pixels P2. The power supply voltage signal terminal VDD can be transmitted to the first pole of the two driving transistors T101 through the turned-on light-emitting control transistor T104 and the connecting line L0. Depending on the on-state of the two driving transistors T101 (the driving transistor T101 of the selected row of pixels P is turned on under the control of the sensed grayscale data VGm, and the driving transistor T101 of the other row of pixels P is turned off during the sensed data writing stage B1), the anode of the light-emitting device EL of the selected row of pixels P is charged.
[0136] In summary, the light-emitting control circuit 100 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure includes a first detection control unit 111 and a second detection control unit 122. When compensating for the light-emitting device EL of the selected row pixel P, the driving transistor T101 of the selected row pixel P can be electrically connected to the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD through the first detection control unit 111 and the second detection control unit 122. Then, when the driving transistor T101 is turned on, the anode of the light-emitting device EL of the selected row pixel P is charged, thereby achieving compensation for the light-emitting device EL of the selected row pixel P. Here, the selected row pixel P refers to a row of pixels P for which compensation for the light-emitting device EL is performed.
[0137] Some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a control method for a light-emitting control circuit 100, used to drive the light-emitting control circuit 100 in any of the above embodiments. A frame period F includes a display phase D and a blanking phase B. The control method includes:
[0138] When a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0139] During blank phase B, the first detection and control unit 111 of the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 transmits the first voltage signal to the first node N1. Under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, the first output unit 112 of the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 transmits the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 so that the working current flows through the light-emitting device EL of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 or the even-numbered row pixel P2.
[0140] Alternatively, the second detection and control unit 121 of the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 transmits the first voltage signal to the second node N2, and the second output unit 122 of the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 transmits the first voltage signal to the second output signal terminal EM2 under the control of the voltage of the second node N2, so that the working current flows through the light-emitting device EL of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 or the even-numbered row pixel P2.
[0141] For example, when compensating the light-emitting device EL of the selected row pixel P, the detection control terminal VH outputs a working voltage signal to the light-emitting control circuit 100 that is electrically connected to the selected row pixel P.
[0142] Then, under the control of the detection signal (working voltage signal) from the detection control terminal VH and the first clock signal from the first clock signal terminal CKA1, the first detection control unit 111 transmits the first voltage signal from the first voltage signal terminal VGH to the first node N1.
[0143] Next, under the control of the voltage (first voltage signal) of the first node N1, the first light-emitting output unit 112 transmits the first voltage signal from the first voltage signal terminal VGH to the first output signal terminal EM1.
[0144] Alternatively, for example, the second detection control unit 121, under the control of the detection signal from the detection control terminal VH and the second clock signal from the second clock signal terminal CKA2, transmits the first voltage signal from the first voltage signal terminal VGH to the second node N2.
[0145] Next, under the control of the voltage (first voltage signal) of the second node N2, the second light-emitting output unit 122 transmits the first voltage signal from the first voltage signal terminal VGH to the second output signal terminal EM2.
[0146] That is, when a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL, one of the first output signal terminal EM1 and the second output signal terminal EM2 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 outputs a first voltage signal to turn on the light-emitting control transistor T104 of the corresponding row pixel P.
[0147] For example, the first output signal terminal EM1 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 outputs a first voltage signal. This first voltage signal is transmitted from the first output signal terminal EM1 along the light-emitting control scan line EM1 to the control electrode of the light-emitting control transistor T104(1) of the odd-numbered row pixel P1. The light-emitting control transistor T104(1) is turned on, and the power supply voltage signal from the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD is transmitted through the light-emitting control transistor T104(1) of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 and the connecting line L0 to the first electrode of the driving transistor T101(1) of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 and the first electrode of the driving transistor T101(2) of the even-numbered row pixel P2. Then, the driving transistor T101 of the selected row pixel P is turned on, and the anode of the light-emitting device 120 of the selected row pixel P is charged, thereby enabling the row pixel P to realize the compensation function of the light-emitting device EL.
[0148] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The first detection control unit 111 includes a first detection input subunit 1111 and a first detection output subunit 1112.
[0149] The first detection input subunit 1111 is electrically connected to the detection control terminal VH, the first clock signal terminal CKA1, and the third node N3, and is configured to transmit the first clock signal to the third node N3 under the control of the detection control signal.

[0231] The first light-emitting output unit 112 (the seventeenth transistor T17) transmits a first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, so as to modulate the light-emitting time of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 and the even-numbered row pixel P2.
[0232] Furthermore, under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, the thirty-fifth transistor T35 transmits the first voltage signal to the first cascade signal output terminal CR1, and outputs the first cascade signal to the first input signal terminal IN1 of the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 of the next light-emitting control circuit 100.
[0233] In blank phase B, see [reference] Figure 17A , Figure 17B and Figure 18 During the blank phase B of the first two frame periods F, when a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0234] The detection control terminal VH turns on the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3. The first clock signal terminal CKA1 continuously outputs a turn-off voltage signal (i.e., no pulse signal is output), and since there is no signal input to the third node N3, the voltage of the third node N3 remains unchanged (at the turn-off voltage). The second clock signal terminal CKA2 outputs a pulse signal, which is written to the fourth node N4 through the third transistor T3, raising the potential of the fourth node N3 to the operating voltage.
[0235] The fourth transistor T4 is turned on under the voltage control of the fourth node N4, and the first voltage signal at the first voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the second node N2. That is, the second detection and control unit 121 transmits the first voltage signal to the second node N2.
[0236] The eighteenth transistor T18 (second light-emitting output unit 122) is turned on under the control of the second node N2, and the first voltage signal of the first voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the second output signal terminal EM2 through the eighteenth transistor T18.
[0237] Alternatively, the control method of the light-emitting control circuit 100 may also include:
[0238] During the display stage D, the second pulse width modulation unit 123 transmits the second input signal to the second node N2 under the control of the fourth clock signal CKB2; the second light emission output unit 122 transmits the first voltage signal to the second output signal terminal EM2 under the control of the voltage of the second node N2, so as to modulate the light emission time of the odd row pixel P1 and the even row pixel P2.
[0239] When a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL, in blank phase B, the first detection control unit 111 transmits the first voltage signal to the first node N1, and the first light-emitting output unit 112, under the control of the voltage of the first node N1, transmits the first voltage signal to the second output signal terminal EM2, so that the working current flows through the light-emitting device EL of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2.
[0240] For example, see Figure 17B and Figure 18 Within the preceding and following frame periods F, during the display phase D, the second start signal terminal Stu2 outputs a pulse signal, and the second input signal terminal IN2 of the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 can receive the pulse signal.
[0241] Under the control of the fourth clock signal CKB2, the eleventh transistor T5 and the forty-sixth transistor T46 of the second pulse width modulation unit 123 of the second light emission control sub-circuit 120 are turned on, transmitting the first input signal from the second input signal terminal IN2 to the second node N2.
[0242] The second light-emitting output unit 122 (the eighteenth transistor T18) transmits the first voltage signal to the second output signal terminal EM2 under the control of the voltage of the second node N2, so as to modulate the light-emitting time of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 and the even-numbered row pixel P2.
[0243] Furthermore, under the control of the voltage of the second node N2, the thirty-sixth transistor T36 transmits the first voltage signal to the second cascaded signal output terminal CR2, and outputs the second cascaded signal to the second input signal terminal IN2 of the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 of the next light-emitting control circuit 100.
[0244] In blank phase B, see [reference] Figure 17A , Figure 17B and Figure 18 During the blank phase B of the last two frame periods F, when a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0245] The detection control terminal VH turns on the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3. The first clock signal terminal CKA1 outputs a pulse signal, which is written to the third node N3, raising the potential of the third node N3 to the operating voltage. The second clock signal terminal CKA2 continuously outputs the shutdown voltage, and the potential of the fourth node N3 remains at the shutdown voltage.
[0246] The second transistor T2 is turned on under the voltage control of the third node N3, and the first voltage signal of the first voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the first node N1. That is, the first detection and control unit 111 transmits the first voltage signal to the first node N1.
[0247] The seventeenth transistor T17 (first light-emitting output unit 112) is turned on under the control of the first node N1, and the first voltage signal of the first voltage signal terminal VGH is transmitted to the first output signal terminal EM1 through the seventeenth transistor T17.

[0249] Within the same frame period F, the first clock signal terminal CKA1, the second input signal terminal IN2, and the fourth clock signal terminal CKB2 output pulse signals, while the second clock signal terminal CKA2, the first input signal terminal CR1, and the third clock signal terminal CKB1 do not output voltage signals. For example, as... Figure 18 The last two frame periods F in the middle.
[0250] Alternatively, the control method of the light-emitting control circuit 100 may also include:

It is configured to transmit the seventh clock signal from the seventh clock signal terminal CKD to the eleventh node N11 under the control of the random detection signal from the random detection signal terminal OE and the third input signal from the third input signal terminal IN3, so as to select a row of pixels for compensation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0253] The random detection circuit 200 can generate random detection signals, and then select different rows of pixels in each frame to compensate the light-emitting devices of different rows of pixels P, thereby achieving the purpose of random compensation.
[0254] The shift register circuit 300 is electrically connected to the eleventh node N11 and is configured to output a scan signal to the corresponding row pixel P under the voltage control of the eleventh node N11 to open the corresponding row pixel P.
[0255] In any of the above embodiments, the detection control terminal VH of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to a circuit node in the random detection circuit 200 or a circuit node in the shift register circuit 300. This eliminates the need for an additional signal control terminal to provide a signal to the detection control terminal VH, thereby simplifying the gate drive circuit 1120.
[0256] In some embodiments, see Figure 20 The random detection circuit 200 includes a random detection control sub-circuit 210 and a detection output sub-circuit 220.
[0257] The random detection control sub-circuit 210 is electrically connected to the random detection signal terminal OE, the third input signal terminal IN3, and the twelfth node N12, and is configured to transmit the third input signal from the third input signal terminal IN3 to the twelfth node N12 under the control of the random detection signal from the random detection signal terminal OE.
[0258] The third input signal terminal IN3 can be a cascaded input signal terminal, and the third input signal terminal IN3 is electrically connected to the third or fourth cascaded output signal terminal of the shift register circuit 300 in the upper gate drive circuit 1120.
[0259] See Figure 20 The detection output sub-circuit 220 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12, the seventh clock signal terminal CKD, and the eleventh node N11, and is configured to transmit the seventh clock signal to the eleventh node N11 under the voltage control of the twelfth node N12. The detection control terminal VH of the light emission control circuit 100 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12.
[0260] For example, see Figure 21 The random detection control sub-circuit 210 includes a nineteenth transistor T19. The control electrode of the nineteenth transistor T19 is electrically connected to the random detection signal terminal OE, the first electrode is electrically connected to the third input signal terminal IN3, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12.
[0261] The detection output sub-circuit 220 includes a twentieth transistor T20. The control electrode of the twentieth transistor T20 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12, the first electrode is electrically connected to the seventh clock signal terminal CKD, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the eleventh node N11.
[0262] In some embodiments, see Figure 22 The random detection circuit 200 also includes a first energy storage sub-circuit 230 and a first leakage prevention electronic circuit 240.
[0263] The first energy storage sub-circuit 230 is electrically connected to the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD and the twelfth node N12, and is configured to maintain the voltage of the twelfth node N12.
[0264] The fourth voltage signal terminal VDD can be the same as the power supply voltage signal terminal VDD in the pixel driving circuit 1110, therefore, they use the same label "VDD". This reduces the number of voltage signal terminals, thereby simplifying the circuit structure of the display panel 1000.
[0265] The first leakage protection electronic circuit 240 is electrically connected to the random detection control sub-circuit 210, the random detection signal terminal OE, the twelfth node N12, and the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD. It is configured to transmit the fourth voltage signal from the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD to the eleventh node N11 under the control of the random detection signal from the random detection signal terminal OE and the voltage of the twelfth node.
[0266] For example, see Figure 23 The first energy storage sub-circuit 230 includes a fifth capacitor C5. The first plate of the fifth capacitor C5 is electrically connected to the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD, and the second plate is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12.
[0267] For example, see Figure 23 The first leakage protection electronic circuit 240 includes a twenty-first transistor T21 and a twenty-second transistor T22. The control electrode of the twenty-first transistor T21 is electrically connected to the random detection signal terminal OE, the first electrode is electrically connected to the thirteenth node N13, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12. The control electrode of the twenty-second transistor T22 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12, the first electrode is electrically connected to the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the thirteenth node N13.
[0268] See Figure 23 The random detection control sub-circuit 210 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12 through the first leakage protection electronic circuit 240. That is, the second terminal of the nineteenth transistor T19 is electrically connected to the twelfth node N12 through the twenty-first transistor T21.
[0269] See Figure 23 The second terminal of the nineteenth transistor T19 is electrically connected to the first terminal of the twenty-first transistor T21, and the control terminals of both the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twenty-first transistor T21 are electrically connected to the random detection signal terminal OE. Thus, when the random detection signal terminal OE outputs the working level, the control terminals of the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twenty-first transistor T21 are simultaneously turned on, and the third input signal from the third input signal terminal IN3 can be transmitted to the twelfth node N12 in sequence through the control terminals of the nineteenth transistor T19 and the twenty-first transistor T21.
[0270] Some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a control method for the above-described gate drive circuit 1120. The control method includes:
[0271] When a set of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL.
[0272] During the display phase D, the random detection circuit 200 of the gate drive circuit 1120, under the control of the random detection signal (from the random detection signal terminal OE), transmits the third input signal from the third input signal terminal IN3 to the circuit node NX (twelfth node N12) in the random detection circuit 200, and maintains the voltage of the corresponding circuit node NX until the blank phase B.
[0273] During blank phase B, the random detection circuit 200, under the control of the voltage of circuit node NX, transmits the seventh clock signal from the seventh clock signal terminal CKD to the shift register circuit 300 of the gate drive circuit 1120.
[0274] The shift register circuit outputs a scan signal to the corresponding row pixel P (the row pixel P selected for EL compensation of the light-emitting device) to turn on the corresponding row pixel P (turn on the data writing transistor T102 of the corresponding row pixel P).
[0275] Under the control of the voltage of circuit node NX in random detection circuit 200 or the voltage of circuit node NY (fourteenth node N14 or fifteenth node N15) in shift register circuit 300, the light emission control circuit 1000 of gate drive circuit 1120 transmits the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2, so that the working current flows through the light emission device of odd row pixel P1 or even row pixel P2.
[0276] For example, during blank phase B, both circuit node NX of the random detection circuit 200 and circuit node NY of the shift register circuit 300 can output operating voltages to the detection control terminal VH of the light emission control circuit 100. Under the control of the detection control signal from the detection control terminal VH, the light emission control circuit 100 transmits the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2.

[0318] Some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a control method for a gate driving circuit, used to drive the gate driving circuit 1120 in any of the above embodiments. When a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL, the control method includes:
[0319] During the display phase D, the random detection circuit 200 of the gate drive circuit 1120, under the control of the random detection signal (from the random detection signal terminal OE), transmits the third input signal from the third input signal terminal IN3 to the circuit node NX (twelfth node N12) in the random detection circuit 200, and maintains the voltage of the corresponding circuit node NX until the blank phase B.

[0324] The shift register circuit outputs a scan signal to the corresponding row pixel P (the row pixel P selected for EL compensation of the light-emitting device) to turn on the corresponding row pixel P (turn on the data writing transistor T102 of the corresponding row pixel P).
[0325] For example, see Figure 26A Under the influence of the seventh clock signal at the seventh clock signal terminal CKD, the twenty-third transistor T23 and the fifty-third transistor T53 are simultaneously turned on, and the seventh clock signal at the eleventh node N11 is transmitted to the fourteenth node N14. Under the control of the voltage (seventh clock signal) at the fourteenth node N14, the twenty-fourth transistor T24 is turned on.
[0326] Similarly, see Figure 26B The seventh clock signal at node eleven (N11) can also be transmitted to node fifteen (N15). The voltage at node fifteen (N15) controls the activation of transistor twenty-six (T26).
[0327] One of the seventh clock signal terminal CKE1 and the eighth clock signal terminal CKE2 outputs a high-level voltage signal and transmits it to the third output signal terminal GL1 or the fourth output signal terminal GL2.
[0328] For example, when odd-numbered row pixels P1 are selected for EL compensation of light-emitting devices, the seventh clock signal terminal CKE1 outputs a high-level voltage signal. The high-level voltage signal output by the seventh clock signal terminal CKE1 is transmitted to the third output signal terminal GL1 through the twenty-fourth transistor T24, and a scan signal is output to the odd-numbered row pixels P1. The data writing transistor T102(1) of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 is turned on.
[0329] For example, when even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for EL compensation of light-emitting devices, the eighth clock signal terminal CKE2 outputs a high-level voltage signal. The high-level voltage signal output by the eighth clock signal terminal CKE2 is transmitted to the fourth output signal terminal GL2 through the twenty-sixth transistor T26, and a scan signal is output to even-numbered row pixels P2. The data writing transistor T102(2) of even-numbered row pixels P2 is turned on.
[0330] Under the control of the voltage of circuit node NX in random detection circuit 200 or the voltage of circuit node NY (fourteenth node N14 or fifteenth node N15) in shift register circuit 300, the light emission control circuit 1000 of gate drive circuit 1120 transmits the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2, so that the working current flows through the light emission device EL of odd row pixel P1 or even row pixel P2.
[0331] It is understandable that when the operating current flows through the light-emitting device EL of the odd-numbered row pixel P1 or the even-numbered row pixel P2, it means that the anode of the light-emitting device EL of the selected row pixel P is charged.
[0332] During blank phase B, circuit node NX of random detection circuit 200 and circuit node NY of shift register circuit 300 can both output working voltage signals to the detection control terminal VH of light emission control circuit 100. Under the control of the detection control signal from detection control terminal VH, light emission control circuit 100 transmits the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2.
[0333] For example, the detection control terminal VH of the light emission control circuit 100 is electrically connected to the twelfth node in the random detection circuit 200. See also Figure 27 During blank phase B, the twelfth node N12 outputs a high-level voltage signal, which can control the light-emitting control circuit 100 to transmit the first voltage signal to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2, so as to turn on the odd-numbered row pixel P1 (light-emitting control transistor T104(1)) or the even-numbered row pixel P2 (light-emitting control transistor T104(1)). The working process of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is described above and will not be repeated here.
[0334] For example, the detection control terminal VH of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to the fourteenth or fifteenth node N14 in the shift register circuit 300. See also... Figure 27 During blank phase B, both the fourteenth node N14 and the fifteenth node N152 can output high-level voltage signals, and the first voltage signal of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is transmitted to the first output signal terminal EM1 or the second output signal terminal EM2. The working process of the light-emitting control circuit 100 will not be described in detail here.
[0335] The first output signal terminal EM1 of the light-emitting control circuit 110 of the gate driving circuit 1120 is electrically connected to the odd-numbered row pixel P1, and the second output signal terminal EM2 of the light-emitting control circuit 100 is electrically connected to the even-numbered row pixel P2.
[0336] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 25A The shift register circuit 300 includes a first shift register sub-circuit 310 and a second shift register sub-circuit 320. The first shift register sub-circuit 310 includes a first scan input unit 313 and a first scan output unit 312, and the second shift register sub-circuit 320 includes a second scan input unit 323 and a second scan output unit 322. The first light emission control sub-circuit 110 of the light emission control circuit 100 includes a first pulse width modulation unit 113, and the second light emission control sub-circuit 120 includes a second pulse width modulation unit 123.
[0337] During the display phase D, the first scan input unit 313, under the control of the third input signal IN3, inputs the fourth voltage signal to the fourteenth node N14; the first scan output unit 312, under the control of the voltage of the fourteenth node N14, transmits the eighth clock signal to the third output signal terminal GL1 to open the corresponding odd-numbered row pixels.
[0338] For example, see Figure 26A and Figure 27 During display phase D, when a high-level voltage signal is output at the third input signal terminal IN3, the twenty-seventh transistor T27 turns on, and the fourth voltage signal at the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD is transmitted to the fourteenth node N14. The fourth voltage signal can be a high-level voltage signal. Under the control of the fourth voltage signal at the fourteenth node N14, the twenty-fourth transistor T24 turns on, and the eighth clock signal from the eighth clock signal terminal CKE1 is transmitted to the third output signal terminal GL1.
[0339] Under the control of the third input signal IN3, the second scan input unit 323 inputs the fourth voltage signal to the fifteenth node N15; under the control of the voltage of the fifteenth node N15, the second scan output unit 322 transmits the ninth clock signal to the fourth output signal terminal GL2 to open the corresponding even-numbered row pixels.
[0340] For example, see Figure 26B and Figure 27 During the display phase D, when a high-level voltage signal is output at the third input signal terminal IN3, the thirty-first transistor T31 turns on, and the fourth voltage signal at the fourth voltage signal terminal VDD is transmitted to the fifteenth node N15. Under the control of the fourth voltage signal at the fourteenth node N14, the twenty-sixth transistor T26 turns on, and the ninth clock signal from the ninth clock signal terminal CKE2 is transmitted to the third output signal terminal GL1.
[0341] For example, the eighth clock signal terminal CKE1 and the ninth clock signal terminal CKE2 can output high-level voltage signals at different times, so that the third output signal terminal GL1 and the fourth output signal terminal GL2 can output scanning signals at different times, thereby marking the data writing transistor T102 of different rows of pixels P at different times.
[0342] Under the control of the third clock signal CKB1, the first pulse width modulation unit 113 transmits the first input signal to the first node; or, under the control of the fourth clock signal CKB2, the second pulse width modulation unit 123 transmits the second input signal to the second node N2, to modulate the emission time of odd-numbered and even-numbered rows of pixels. That is, within the same frame period, one of the first pulse width modulation unit 113 and the second pulse width modulation unit 123 outputs a pulse width modulation signal; in different frame periods, the first pulse width modulation unit 113 and the second pulse width modulation unit 123 alternately output pulse width modulation signals. The control process of the first pulse width modulation unit 113 and the second pulse width modulation unit 123 can be referred to above and will not be repeated here.
[0343] Some embodiments of this disclosure also provide a method for controlling a display panel, used to control the display panel 1000 in the above embodiments. The display panel 1000 includes a gate driving circuit 1120, a data driving circuit 1200, and a pixel driving circuit 1110.
[0344] In some embodiments, see Figure 28 The blank phase B includes a first data writing phase B11, a second data writing phase B12, and a sensing phase B13.
[0345] When a group of adjacent odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device, wherein, Figure 28 The following example demonstrates how to supplement the light-emitting device (EL) by selecting even-numbered row pixels P2. The control methods for the display panel 100 include:
[0346] In the first data writing stage B11, the data driving circuit 1200 writes zero-grayscale data V0 to one of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 and even-numbered row pixels P2 that was not selected for external compensation. This prevents the driving transistor T101 of the row of pixels P that was not selected for external compensation from turning on. When one of the light-emitting control transistors T104 turns on, the anode of the light-emitting device EL of the unselected row of pixels P is not charged, ensuring that only one row of pixels P is selected for light-emitting device EL compensation in each frame.
[0347] For example, see Figure 28 When even-numbered row pixels P2 are selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL, during the first data writing stage B11, the first gate line GL1(1) and the second gate line GL2(1) electrically connected to odd-numbered row pixels P1 output working voltage signals, and the data line DL outputs zero grayscale data V0. In this way, the control electrode of the driving transistor T101(1) of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 turns off the voltage signal, and the driving transistor T10 of the odd-numbered row pixels P1 is in the off state during the subsequent compensation process.
[0348] In the second data writing stage B12, the data driving circuit 1200 writes the sensed grayscale data VGm to one of the odd-row pixels P1 and even-row pixels P2 selected for compensation of the light-emitting device.
[0349] For example, see Figure 28 In the second data writing stage B12, the first gate line GL1(2) and the second gate line GL2(2) electrically connected to the even-numbered row pixel P2 output working voltage signals, and the data line DL outputs the sensed grayscale data VGm. In this way, the control voltage of the driving transistor T101(2) of the even-numbered row pixel P2 is the working voltage, and the driving transistor T101(2) of the even-numbered row pixel P1 can be turned on in the subsequent compensation process.
[0350] During the sensing phase B13, the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 or the second light-emitting control sub-circuit 120 outputs a first voltage signal (operating voltage) to allow the operating current to flow through the light-emitting devices EL of the odd-numbered row pixels and the even-numbered row pixels; the pixel circuits of the odd-numbered row pixels or the even-numbered row pixels detect the voltage of the light-emitting devices.
[0351] For example, the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 110 outputs a first voltage signal to the first light-emitting control signal line EM1. Operating current can flow through the drive control transistor T101 of the selected row pixel P (the row of pixels P selected for EL compensation), thereby causing the operating current to flow through the EL of the selected row pixel P, charging the anode of the corresponding EL. The sensing signal line SL of the pixel driving circuit 1110 senses the voltage at the anode of the corresponding EL.
[0352] In some embodiments, see Figure 28 The blank phase B, following the sensing phase B13, also includes a first data write-back phase B14 and a second data write-back phase B15.
[0353] In the first data write-back stage B14, the pixel in a group of adjacent odd-numbered rows P1 and even-numbered rows P2 that was not selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL is written with first initial grayscale data DATA1. The first initial grayscale data DATA1 is the grayscale data of the corresponding row pixel P written before the first data write stage B11. In this way, the unselected row pixel P can be displayed with the required grayscale in the next display stage D.
[0354] For example, see Figure 28 In the first data write-back stage B14, the first gate line GL1(1) and the second gate line GL2(1) electrically connected to the odd row pixel P1 output working voltage signals, and the data line DL outputs the first initial grayscale data DATA1.
[0355] In the second data write-back stage B15, the pixel selected for compensation of the light-emitting device EL from either odd-numbered row pixels P1 or even-numbered row pixels P2 is written with second initial grayscale data DATA2. This second initial grayscale data DATA2 is the grayscale data of the corresponding row of pixels written before the second data write stage B12. This ensures that the selected row of pixels P displays the required grayscale in the next display stage D.
[0356] For example, see Figure 28 In the second data write-back stage B15, the first gate line GL1(2) and the second gate line GL2(2) electrically connected to the even-numbered row pixels P2 output working voltage signals, and the data line DL outputs the second initial grayscale data DATA2.
