[0059] The existing industrial display screen has poor stability and cannot meet the requirements of display quality.

[0060] In view of the above problems, a mono display screen and a pixel charging method thereof are provided.

[0061] Embodiment 1

[0062] A mono display screen, such as Figure 1 , Figure 1 A pixel charging circuit module connection diagram in the present application; including a pixel charging circuit; each pixel charging circuit includes a first sub-pixel charging circuit, a common connection circuit, and a second sub-pixel charging circuit; the first sub-pixel charging circuit is connected in series with the second sub-pixel charging circuit through the common connection circuit; the common connection circuit is used to pre-charge the second sub-pixel capacitor in the second sub-pixel charging circuit when charging the first sub-pixel in the first sub-pixel charging circuit.

[0063] The first sub-pixel charging circuit charges the first sub-pixel capacitor, the second sub-pixel charging circuit charges the second sub-pixel capacitor, the common connection circuit connects the two in series, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel have different areas, and different gray scale voltages are formed.

[0064] The second sub-pixel capacitor is pre-charged through the common connection circuit, and the pixel charging time is prolonged.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 2 , Figure 2 The pixel charging circuit connection diagram in the application is shown in the figure; the first sub-pixel charging circuit includes a first transistor TR1, a first storage capacitor C1 and a first sub-pixel capacitor C2; the first storage capacitor C1 and the first sub-pixel capacitor C2 are connected in parallel, one end of the parallel connection is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected with the drain end of the first transistor TR1.

[0068] The source end of the first transistor TR1, the drain end of the third transistor TR3 and the drain end of the second transistor TR2 are electrically connected; the source end of the third transistor TR3 is electrically connected with the power supply line. By designing two same sub-pixels in one pixel and sharing the middle transistor, a large amount of space is saved. By charging two sub-pixel capacitors through three transistors, the length of the transistor channel is doubled, the second sub-pixel capacitor can be pre-charged when the first sub-pixel capacitor is charged, the charging time of the pixel capacitor is prolonged, the voltage fluctuation is maintained within one gray scale, and the display stability and display quality are improved.
