[0143] During the non-light-emitting phase, Vi1 stored in the fifth node N5 resets the potential of the third node N3 through the first control circuit 14. This allows the excess charge accumulated in the first node N1 to be offset by the reset low potential when it flows through the third node N3 again during the light-emitting phase. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, thus improving the flicker problem.

This allows the excess charge accumulated in the first node N1 to be offset by the reset low potential when the light-emitting phase is entered again. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, thus improving the flicker problem.

[0249] During the non-light-emitting phase (which can be the time period excluding the light-emitting phase included in the display cycle), T1 is turned on to control the connection between the fifth node N5 and the third node N3, so that the first initial voltage Vi1 is written into the third node N3. This allows the excess charge accumulated by the first node N1 to be canceled by the reset low potential when it flows through the third node N3 upon entering the light-emitting phase again. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, improving the flicker problem.

[0250] like Figure 12 As shown, this disclosure is as follows Figure 10 When at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown is in operation, the display cycle in the refresh sub-display frame may include an initialization stage S1, a compensation stage S2, a data writing stage, a first light emission stage S31, a second light emission stage S32, a third light emission stage S33, and a fourth light emission stage S34, which are set sequentially; the data writing stage is included in the compensation stage S2.

[0253] During the initialization phase S1, R1 provides a high voltage signal, and T7 is turned on to provide the second initial voltage Vi2 provided by the second initial voltage terminal I2 to the second node N2, so that the driving transistor T0 can be turned on at the beginning of the compensation phase.

[0254] During the initialization phase S1, GN provides a low voltage signal, GP provides a high voltage signal, E1 provides a high voltage signal, T1 is turned on, and T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and T0 are all turned off.

At this time, the potential of the second node N2 is Vdata + Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of T0 and is negative. In the first light emission phase S31, the second light emission phase S32, the third light emission phase S33, and the fourth light emission phase S34, E1 provides a low voltage signal, R1 provides a low voltage signal, GN provides a low voltage signal, and GP provides a high voltage signal. T3 and T4 are both turned on, and T0 drives O1 to emit light. T2 is turned on to write the first initial voltage Vi1 provided by the first initial voltage terminal I1 into the fifth node N5.

[0258] In the first interval stage S01, the second interval stage S02, and the third interval stage S03, E1 provides a high voltage signal, R1 provides a low voltage signal, GN provides a low voltage signal, GP provides a high voltage signal, and T1 is turned on to write the first initial voltage Vi1 stored in the fifth node N5 to the third node N3.

[0259] like Figure 12As shown, in at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit described in this disclosure, when operating in a low-frequency display mode, the frequency of the write control signal provided by the write control line GP is lower than the frequency of the light emission control signal provided by the light emission control line E1. The light emission control signal is a high-frequency signal, while the write control signal, the initialization control signal provided by the initialization control line R1, and the compensation control signal provided by the compensation control line GN are all low-frequency signals to reduce power consumption.

[0260] like Figure 13 As shown, this disclosure is as follows Figure 10 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown, during operation, in low-frequency display, the display frame may include a refresh sub-display frame F1 and at least one hold sub-display frame;

[0261] In the holding sub-display frame, data line D1 provides a high voltage signal; the voltage value of the high voltage signal provided by data line D1 is equal to the voltage value of the high voltage signal provided by the high voltage terminal VDD, for example, the voltage value of the high voltage signal can be 4.6V;

[0262] During the data writing phase in the holding sub-display frame, GP provides a low voltage, and T5 is turned on to write the high voltage signal to the first node N1;

[0263] In the holding sub-display frame, when E1 provides a low voltage signal, T1 and T2 are turned on, and T0 drives O1 to emit light.

[0264] Since the voltage value of the high voltage signal provided by the data line D1 is equal to the voltage value of the high voltage signal provided by the high voltage terminal VDD when maintaining the sub-display frame, even if T5 leaks current, the potential of N1 will remain at 4.6V, so that the potential of the first node N1 remains at the same level when displayed at different frequencies, thus improving the brightness difference caused by this.

[0265] exist Figure 12 and Figure 13 In the diagram, frame F21 is the first holding sub-display frame, and frame F2N is the Nth holding sub-display frame, where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0272] During the non-light-emitting phase, E1 provides a high-voltage signal, T1 is turned on, and Vi1 stored in the fifth node N5 resets the potential of the first node N1 through T1. This allows the excess charge accumulated in the first node N1 to be canceled by the reset low potential when the light-emitting phase is entered again. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, thus improving the flicker problem.

[0273] This disclosure is as follows Figure 15 In at least one embodiment of the pixel circuit shown, when in low-frequency display mode, the frequency of the write control signal provided by GP is lower than the frequency of the light emission control signal provided by E1, so as to reduce power consumption.

[0276] During the non-light-emitting phase, E1 provides a high-voltage signal, T2 is turned off, and T1 is turned on. Vi1 stored in the fifth node N5 resets the potential of the fourth node N4 through T1. This allows the excess charge accumulated in the first node N1 to be canceled out by the reset low potential when it flows through the fourth node N4 when the light-emitting phase is entered again. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, improving the flicker problem.

[0281] During the non-light-emitting phase, E1 provides a high-voltage signal, T2 is turned off, and T1 is turned on. Vi1 stored in the fifth node N5 resets the potential of the fourth node N4 through T1. This allows the excess charge accumulated in the first node N1 to be canceled out by the reset low potential when it flows through the fourth node N4 when the light-emitting phase is entered again. As a result, the phenomenon of increasing brightness within the same display cycle (which can be one frame of display time) is suppressed, improving the flicker problem.
