Among them, the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 can be independently a driving circuit board (X-board) or a control circuit board (C-board), or can be obtained by integrating a driving circuit board (X-board) and a control circuit board (C-board).

[0055] The second circuit board 320 serves as a control circuit board (C-board) and mainly includes a power supply circuit 17 (PMIC), a timing control circuit 11, etc. The second circuit board 320 is mainly used to receive a display signal for image display provided externally and correspondingly output a data signal, a control signal, and a power signal. In this embodiment, the timing control circuit TCON is also connected to an image processing module (GPU), obtains image data for image display from the image processing module, and after performing encoding and decoding processing, transmits it to the pixel units in the display area of the display panel 10 to perform corresponding image display. It can be understood that the image processing module is arranged in a main device independent of the display device 100. For example, the image processing module is arranged in a host computer, or the image processing module can also be arranged in the display device 100 together.

[0056] The second circuit board 320 serves as a driving circuit board (X-board) and is mainly used to receive the data signal and the control signal provided by the first circuit board 310 and transmit them to a plurality of data driving chips (data driving circuits). In this embodiment, the first circuit board 310 includes a memory (not shown in the figure). The first circuit board 310 is connected to the display panel 10 through a chip on flex (COF). Data driving chips are arranged on the COF. Among them, the data driving chips are connected to the pixel units P ( Figure 3 ) through data lines ( Figure 3 ) to transmit the data signal to the pixel units P for image display.

[0057] Among them, a scanning driving circuit 13 is further arranged outside the display area 10a of the display panel 10. Among them, the scanning driving circuits 13 are respectively connected to the timing control circuit 11 through corresponding signal traces.

[0058] Among them, in the non-display area 10b outside the display area 10a of the display panel 10, a timing control circuit 11 ( Figure 3 ), a data driving circuit 12 ( Figure 3 ), a scanning driving circuit 13 ( Figure 3 ), a light emitting driving circuit 14 ( Figure 3 ) and other functional circuits are further arranged.

[0059] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the planar layout structure of the display panel shown.

[0060] Corresponding to the display area 10a of the display panel 10, it includes a plurality of pixel units P arranged in an m*n matrix, n data lines D1 to Dn extending along the second direction F2, m scan lines G1 to Gm extending along the first direction F1, m compensation scan lines Gc1 to Gcm, m light-emitting lines E1 to Em, m compensation lines Dc1 to Dcm, m reset scan lines Rg1 to Rgm, and m reset lines Rv1 to Rvm. m and n are natural numbers greater than 1. Among them, the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are perpendicular to each other. The pixel unit P is located at the intersection of the scan lines G1 to Gm and the data lines D1 to Dn.

[0061] Corresponding to the non-display area 10b, corresponding functional circuits are provided. In this embodiment, the display panel 10 is provided with a scan driving circuit 13 in the non-display area. At the same time, in the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320, a timing control circuit 11, a data driving circuit 12, a light-emitting driving circuit 14, a compensation circuit 15, a reset circuit 16, and a power supply circuit 17 are correspondingly provided.

[0062] Among them, the timing control circuit 11 receives an image signal representing image information from an external signal source, obtains a scan clock signal CK, a light-emitting clock signal ECK, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a vertical synchronization signal for synchronization, and outputs control signals for the scan driving circuit 13 and the data driving circuit 12 to control the scan signal and the data signal.

[0063] The data driving circuit 12 is used to receive the data signal from the timing control circuit 11, perform storage, amplification, and digital-to-analog conversion processing, and then output it to the pixel unit P in the display area 10a.

[0064] The scan driving circuit 13 is used to output corresponding scan signals to the pixel unit P in the display area 10a according to the clock signal CK, and at the same time, output corresponding compensation scan signals to the pixel unit P.

[0065] The light-emitting driving circuit 14 is used to output a corresponding light-emitting signal Et to the pixel unit P in the display area 10a according to the light-emitting clock signal ECK.

[0066] In this embodiment, the scan driving circuit 13 and the light-emitting driving circuit 14 can be synchronously formed in the same area of the display panel 10 through the same process, that is, the scan driving circuit 13 and the light-emitting driving circuit 14 are integrated in the same preset area to form a scan driving circuit (not labeled).

[0067] The compensation circuit 15 is used to provide corresponding compensation signals to the pixel unit P corresponding to the compensation scan signal.

[0068] The reset circuit 16 is used to provide a reset signal for all pixel units P during the blanking time between any two adjacent frames of image display times of the display panel 10, and eliminate the charges remaining in each pixel unit P during the previous frame image display period.

[0069] The power supply circuit 17 is used to provide driving power for the working circuits in the display panel 10. For example, the power supply circuit 17 provides the high potential voltage VGH and low potential voltage VGL for scanning for the scan driving circuit, provides the high potential voltage EVGH and low potential voltage EVGL for light emission for the light-emitting driving circuit 14, and provides the data power supply VDD for the data driving circuit 12, etc.

[0070] Specifically, n data lines D1 to Dn are connected to the data driving circuit 12 and are used to receive the data signal Data saved and transmitted in the form of gray scale values provided by the data driving circuit 12.

[0071] m scan lines G1 to Gn are connected to the scan driving circuit 13 and are used to receive the scan signals Gs1 to Gsn from the scan driving circuit 13. m compensation scan lines Gc1 to Gcm are connected to the scan driving circuit 13 and are used to receive the compensation scan signals Gr1 to Grm from the scan driving circuit 13. m light-emitting lines E1 to Em are connected to the light-emitting driving circuit 14 and are used to receive the light-emitting signals Et1 to Etm from the light-emitting driving circuit 14. m compensation lines Dc1 to Dcm are connected to the compensation circuit 15 and are used to receive the compensation signals from the compensation circuit 15. m reset scan lines Rg1 to Rgm are connected to the scan driving circuit 13 and are used to receive the reset scan signal Rs (Rs1 to Rsm) from the scan driving circuit 13. m reset lines Rv1 to Rvm are connected to the reset circuit 16 and are used to receive the reset signal INI from the reset circuit 16. Each frame image display period includes, in time sequence, a reset period H1, a compensation period H2, a data loading period H3, and a light-emitting period H4.

[0072] During the reset period H1, the scan driving circuit 13 outputs the reset scan signals Rs1 to Rsm through the reset scan lines Rg1 to Rgm and loads the reset signal INI into the pixel unit P, so as to reset each pixel unit P to eliminate the charges remaining during the previous frame image display period.

[0073] During the compensation period H2, the scan driving circuit 13 outputs the compensation scan signals Gr1 to Grm through the compensation scan lines Gc1 to Gcm, and the compensation circuit 15 outputs the compensation signals to the pixel unit P through the compensation lines Dc1 to Dcm, so as to compensate the data signals of the pixel unit P to eliminate the situation that the data signals cannot be uniformly and accurately displayed due to aging, different processes, or the working characteristics of each component in each pixel unit P.

[0074] During the data loading period H3, under the control of scan lines G1 to Gm, data voltages corresponding to the gray scale values in the data signals provided by data lines D1 to Dn are received within a predetermined time period.

[0075] During the light emitting period H4, the light emitting driving circuit 14 outputs light emitting signals Et1 to Etm to the pixel unit P through light emitting lines E1 to Em, thereby supplying a driving power supply to each pixel unit P. The driving power supply cooperates with the data signal to provide a corresponding driving current to the pixel unit, and accordingly drives the light emitting element to emit light of a corresponding brightness, so as to display an image by emitting light of a corresponding brightness according to the data signal.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 4 - 5 , Figure 4 as Figure 3 the layout structure schematic diagram of any one pixel unit P shown in Figure 5 as Figure 3 the specific circuit structure schematic diagram of any one sub-pixel shown in Figure 4 As shown in

[0077] As shown in Figure 5 the pixel unit P includes three sub-pixels, and the three sub-pixels can be a red sub-pixel R that emits red light, a green sub-pixel G that emits green light, and a blue sub-pixel B that emits blue light.

[0078] Among them, the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the control switch transistor M1 through the first node N1, and the driving switch transistor M2 is also connected to the first power supply terminal VDD through the second node N2, and is connected to the light emitting element L through the third node N3. The light emitting element L is connected between the third node N3 and the second power supply terminal VSS. The first energy storage element C1 is connected between the first node N1 and the third node N3. The second energy storage element C2 is connected between the third node N3 and the second power supply VSS.

[0079] The control switch transistor M1 is used to receive a scan signal Gsi and a data signal Data during the data writing period of a frame image display period. The scan signal Gsi is used to control the control switch transistor M1 to transmit the received data signal Data to the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2. The data signal Data is used to control the driving switch transistor M2 to output a corresponding driving current to the light emitting element L in cooperation with the driving power supply provided by the first power supply terminal VDD during the light emitting period of a frame image display period, so as to drive the light emitting element L to emit light to display an image.

[0080] The pixel unit P further includes a compensation switching transistor M3. The compensation switching transistor M3 is connected to the compensation scan line Gci and the compensation line Dci, and is also connected to the first node N1. The compensation switching transistor M3 is configured to transmit a compensation signal to the first node N1 when receiving a compensation scan signal Gri during a compensation period.

[0081] The pixel unit P further includes a light-emitting switching transistor M4. The light-emitting switching transistor M4 is connected to the second node N2 and the first power supply terminal VDD. The light-emitting switch M4 is configured to transmit a driving power supply to the driving switching transistor M2 when receiving a light-emitting signal Et during a light-emitting period.

[0082] The pixel unit P further includes a reset switching transistor M5. The reset switching transistor M5 is connected to the reset scan line Rgi, the reset line Rvi, and the second node N2. The light-emitting switch M5 is configured to receive a reset signal INI from the reset line Rvi under the control of a reset scan signal Rsi provided by the reset scan line Rgi during a reset period, and transmit a reset voltage to the second node N2. The reset voltage is transmitted to the third node N3 through the driving switching transistor M2 to reset the light-emitting element L.

[0083] In this embodiment, three sub-pixels in one pixel unit P share the same light-emitting switching transistor M4. At the same time, multiple pixel units P in the same row share the same reset switch M5.

[0084] In this embodiment, the light-emitting element L in the pixel unit P is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED).

[0085] In this embodiment, the control switching transistor M1, the driving switching transistor M2, the compensation switching transistor M3, the light-emitting switching transistor M4, and the reset switching transistor M5 are N-type thin film transistors. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the control switching transistor M1, the driving switching transistor M2, the compensation switching transistor M3, the light-emitting switching transistor M4, and the reset switching transistor M5 can also be P-type thin film transistors.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2 are energy storage capacitors.

[0087] More specifically, the gate of the control switching transistor M1 is connected to the scan line Gi as a control terminal to receive a scan signal Gsi. The control switching transistor M1 is turned on or off under the control of the scan signal Gsi. At the same time, the source and drain of the control switching transistor M1 are used as two conductive terminals to be respectively connected to the data line Dj and the first node N1. Thus, when the control switching transistor M1 is turned on, the data signal Data is transmitted to the first node N1 through the source and drain of the control switching transistor M1. In this embodiment, the source of the control switching transistor M1 is connected to the data line Dj, and the drain of the control switching transistor M1 is connected to the first node N1.

[0088] The gate of the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the first node N1 as a control terminal to receive the data signal Data through the first node N1, and is turned on or off under the control of the voltage correspondingly loaded at the first node N1. At the same time, the source and drain of the driving switch transistor M2 are connected to the second node N2 and the third node N3 respectively as two conductive terminals. Among them, the second node N2 is connected to the first power supply terminal VDD through the light-emitting switch transistor M4. In this embodiment, the drain of the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the second node N2, and the source of the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the third node N3. When the driving switch transistor M2 is turned on, the driving power supply provided by the first power supply terminal VDD forms a driving current through the driving switch M2 under the voltage control of the first node and is transmitted to the light-emitting element L, thereby driving the light-emitting element L to emit corresponding light. Of course, in other embodiments, the source and drain of the driving switch transistor M2 can be interchanged, that is, the source of the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the second node N2, and the drain of the driving switch transistor M2 is connected to the third node N3.

[0089] The gate of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the compensation scan line Gci as a control terminal to receive the compensation scan signal Gri from the compensation scan line Gci, and the compensation switch transistor M3 is turned on or off under the control of the compensation scan signal Gri. At the same time, the source and drain of the compensation switch transistor M3 are connected to the compensation line Dci and the first node N1 respectively as conductive terminals. In this embodiment, the source of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the compensation line Dci, and the drain of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the first node N1. When the compensation switch transistor M3 is turned on, the compensation signal is transmitted to the first node N1 through the source and drain of the compensation switch transistor M3. Of course, in other embodiments, the source and drain of the compensation switch transistor M3 can be interchanged, that is, the drain of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the compensation line Dci, and the source of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the first node N1.

[0090] The gate of the reset switch transistor M5 is connected to the reset scan line Rgi as a control terminal and is turned on or off under the control of the reset scan signal Rsi provided by the reset scan line Rgi. At the same time, the source and drain of the reset switch transistor M5 are connected to the reset line Rvi and the second node N2 respectively as conductive terminals to transmit the reset voltage provided by the reset line Rvi to the second node N2 through the reset switch transistor M5 when the reset switch transistor M5 is turned on. In this embodiment, the source of the reset switch transistor M5 is connected to the reset line Rvi, and the drain of the reset switch transistor M5 is connected to the second node N2. Of course, in other embodiments, the source and drain of the reset switch transistor M5 can be interchanged, that is, the drain of the reset switch transistor M5 is connected to the reset line Rvi, and the source of the compensation switch transistor M3 is connected to the second node N2.

[0091] The gate of the light-emitting switch transistor M4 is connected to the light-emitting line Ei as a control terminal, and the light-emitting switch transistor M4 is turned on or off under the control of the light-emitting signal Esi provided by the light-emitting line Ei. At the same time, the source and drain of the light-emitting switch transistor M4 are connected to the first power supply terminal VDD and the second node N2 as conductive terminals respectively. When the light-emitting switch transistor M4 is turned on, the driving power supply provided by the first power supply terminal VDD is supplied to the second node N2 through the light-emitting switch transistor M4 and transmitted to the driving switch transistor M2 to provide a driving power supply for the driving switch transistor M2.

[0092] The first energy storage element C1 includes a first energy storage connection terminal C11 and a second energy storage connection terminal C12. The first energy storage connection terminal C11 is connected to the first node N1, and the second energy storage connection terminal C12 is connected to the third node N3. The second energy storage element C2 includes a third energy storage connection terminal C23 and a fourth energy storage connection terminal C24. The third energy storage connection terminal C23 is connected to the third node N3, and the fourth energy storage connection terminal C24 is connected to the second power supply terminal VSS. The first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2 cooperate to accurately maintain the voltage when a voltage is loaded at the first node N1 or the third node N3.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 6 , which is the working timing diagram of the pixel unit as shown in Figure 5 . Now, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the working process of the pixel unit P will be specifically described.

[0094] It should be noted that for the display panel 10 as shown in Figures 2 - 3 , any frame image display period Frame includes f virtual scan cycles and m consecutive scan cycles. For example, the r-th frame image display period includes f virtual scan cycles and m scan cycles that are continuous in time. The f virtual scan cycles are used to pre-load some control signals to f rows of pixel units in sequence before the scan cycle, so as to perform reset and compensation before the formal loading of the scan signal. Or rather, the f virtual scan cycles are used to pre-load some control signals to the pixel units corresponding to the 1st to the f-th scan lines arranged in sequence before the scan cycle. In this embodiment, the f virtual scan cycles are respectively used to pre-load the reset scan signal and the compensation scan signal as control signals to f rows of pixel units. The m consecutive scan cycles respectively correspond to m scan lines G1 to Gm (m rows of pixel units P) in a one-to-one correspondence manner. In each scan cycle, the working process and timing phases of resetting, data compensation, data writing, and light emission can be performed for a row of pixel units connected to the same scan line. For example, in any one scan cycle, such as the i-th scan cycle, it includes a reset period H1, a compensation period H2, a data loading period H3, and a light emission period H4 that are adjacent in time. Among them, i is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m.

[0095] During the reset period H1, the reset scan line Rgi outputs a reset scan signal Rsi. In this embodiment, the reset scan signal Rsi is a high-level pulse signal lasting for a first preset duration. In this embodiment, the first preset duration is one unit duration (1H). The reset switch transistor M5 is turned on under the control of the reset scan signal Rsi, and the reset signal INI provided by the reset line Rvi is transmitted to the second node N2 through the reset switch transistor M5. Since the first node N1 still maintains the voltage of the previous frame (the (n - 1)-th frame) due to the energy storage effect of the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2, and since the voltage is higher than the reset voltage of the reset signal INI, the driving switch transistor M2 is turned on, and then the reset voltage is written into the third node N3, thereby resetting the third node N3, that is, resetting the light-emitting element L. Among them, the voltage of the third node N3 is the reset voltage Vint.

[0096] During the compensation period H2, the compensation scan line Gci outputs a compensation scan signal Gri. In this embodiment, the compensation scan signal Gri is also a high-level pulse signal lasting for a second preset duration. In this embodiment, the second preset duration is five unit durations 5H. The compensation switch transistor M3 is turned on under the control of the compensation scan signal Gri, and the compensation signal provided by the compensation line Dci is transmitted to the first node N1 through the compensation switch transistor M3. Among them, the first node N1 is loaded with the voltage of the written compensation signal, and the potential of the compensation signal can be the compensation voltage Vref. At the same time, the light-emitting switch transistor M4 receives the light-emitting signal Ei provided by the light-emitting driving circuit 14 from the light-emitting line Ei and is turned on under the control of the light-emitting signal Ei, so as to provide the driving voltage provided by the first power supply terminal VDD to the second node N2. In this embodiment, the light-emitting signal Esi is also a high-level pulse signal lasting for five unit durations (5H).

[0097] After the first node N1 is loaded with the compensation voltage Vref of the compensation signal, it controls the driving switch transistor M2 to be turned on, and the driving voltage of the second node N2 charges the third node N3 through the driving switch transistor M2. When the voltage of the third node N3 is charged to Vref - Vth, the driving switch transistor M2 is turned off. Among them, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving switch transistor M2. Thus, during the compensation period H2, the voltage of the third node N3 is compensated and charged to Vref - Vth.

[0098] It can be understood that during the compensation period H2, the reset scan line Rgi stops outputting the reset scan signal Rsi.

[0099] During the data loading period H3, the scan line Gi outputs a scan signal Gsi, controlling the switching transistor M1 to conduct under the control of the scan signal Gsi. The data voltage of the data signal Data is loaded from the data line Dj to the first node N1 through the switching transistor M1. In this embodiment, the scan signal Gsi is a high-level pulse signal lasting for a first preset duration, and the first preset duration is one unit duration 1H. With the cooperation of the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2, the voltage of the first node N1 is coupled to the third node N3, and the voltage of the third node N3 is coupled to: Vref - Vth + α(Vdata - Vref). Thus, the voltage VGS between the gate and the source of the driving switching transistor M2 is: (1 - α)(Vdata - Vref) + Vth, where α = C1 / (C1 + C2), Vdata is the voltage of the data signal Data, and C1 and C2 are the capacitance values of the first energy storage element C1 and the second energy storage element C2 as capacitors.

[0100] It can be understood that during the data loading period H3, the compensation scan line Gci stops outputting the compensation scan signal Gri, and at the same time, the light-emitting line Ei stops outputting the light-emitting signal.

[0101] During the light-emitting period H4, the light-emitting switching transistor M4 receives the light-emitting signal Ei provided by the light-emitting driving circuit 14 from the light-emitting line Ei again and conducts under the control of the light-emitting signal Ei, thereby providing the driving voltage provided by the first power supply terminal VDD to the second node N2. In this embodiment, the light-emitting signal Ei is a high-level pulse signal lasting for one unit duration (1H).

[0102] The driving switching transistor M2 conducts under the control of the voltage loaded on the first node N1. The driving power supply provides a corresponding driving current Ids through the driving switching transistor M2 in cooperation with the voltages of the first node N1 and the third node N3. The driving current Ids is transmitted to the light-emitting element L through the third node N3, thereby driving the light-emitting element L to emit light and correspondingly display the image of the data signal Data.

[0103] In this embodiment, both the compensation scan signal and the scan signal are output by the scan driving circuit 13, but their durations are not the same.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 7 , which is Figure 3 the connection schematic diagram of the scan driving circuit 13 and the light-emitting driving circuit 14 as shown. As Figure 7 shown, the scan driving circuit 13 includes a plurality of cascaded scan driving units (GOA units) 130, six virtual GOA units 131, eight clock signals CKq (q = 1, 2,..., 8), and a start signal STV. For the convenience of description, the scan driving units are represented by GOA units, and the virtual scan driving units are represented by virtual GOA units in the following text.

[0105] Among them, multiple cascaded GOA units 130 are connected to the scan lines one by one and output corresponding multiple scan drive signals. In this embodiment, when the number of corresponding scan lines m is 2160, the number of GOA units 130 is also 2160, and multiple scan signals can be expressed as Gs1~Gs2160. The scan signals G1~G2160 are used to drive the scan lines of the corresponding row pixel units in the display array substrate. In other embodiments of the present application, the number of scan lines can be set according to the actual resolution, but is not limited thereto.

[0106] In this embodiment, eight clock signals CKq (q=1, 2, ... 8) can be defined as clock signals CK1-CK8, and the eight clock signals CK1-CK8 are periodically output respectively, and the period of each clock signal is 8 unit time lengths 8H. The duration of an overall period of the overall output of the eight clock signals is also 8 unit time lengths 8H.

[0107] The clock signals CK1 to CK8 are arranged in sequence according to the output timing of the output, and each clock signal CK is a pulse signal that lasts for a unit time of 1H, and the interval between two adjacent clock signals is a unit time of 1H. For example, the interval between the clock signal CK1 and the clock signal CK2 is a unit time of 1H, the interval between the clock signal CK3 and the clock signal CK2 is a unit time of 1H, and so on, the interval between the clock signal CK8 and the clock signal CK7 is a unit time of 1H, or in other words, the time point of the output clock signal CK1 and the time point of the output clock signal CK2 are a unit time of 1H, the time point of the output clock signal CK3 and the time point of the output clock signal CK2 are a unit time of 1H, and so on, the time point of the output clock signal CK8 and the time point of the output clock signal CK7 are a unit time of 1H.

[0108] Each GOA unit 130 includes an enable trigger terminal En, a first clock signal input terminal CI1, a second clock signal input terminal CI2, a first signal output terminal SO1, and a second signal output terminal SO2. Among them, the enable trigger terminal En is used to receive an enable trigger signal STV, so that the GOA unit 130 starts working. It should be noted that for multiple cascaded GOA units 130, the first-stage GOA unit 130 receives the enable trigger signal STV provided by the timing control circuit 11, and the second-stage GOA unit 130 receives the scan signal Gsi output from the first signal output terminal SO1 from the first-stage GOA unit 130 as an enable trigger signal. The enable trigger signals received by the enable trigger terminals En of other cascaded GOA units 130 are similar, and this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0109] The first clock signal input terminal CI1 and the second clock signal input terminal CI2 are used to receive two clock signals with a preset unit time interval. The GOA unit 130 outputs signals from the first signal output terminal SO1 and the second signal output terminal SO2 according to the two clock signals. In this embodiment, the signals output from the first signal output terminal SO1 can be the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs, and the signals output from the second signal output terminal SO2 can be the compensation scan signal Gr. Specifically, the GOA unit 130 outputs the scan signal Gs from the first signal output terminal SO1 according to the clock signal CKe received by the first clock signal input terminal CI1, and outputs the compensation scan signal Gr from the second signal output terminal SO2, and stops outputting the compensation scan signal Gr from the second signal output terminal SO2 when the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CKe + a.

[0110] In this embodiment, the clock signals received by the first clock signal input terminal CI1 and the second clock signal input terminal CI2 are separated by 5 unit time intervals, that is, a is 5 in this embodiment. If the first clock signal input terminal CI1 receives the clock signal CKe, then the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CK(e + 5). For example, if the first clock signal input terminal CI1 receives the clock signal CK1, then the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CK6; if the first clock signal input terminal CI1 receives the clock signal CK2, then the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CK7, and so on; if the first clock signal input terminal CI1 receives the clock signal CK8, then the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CK5.

[0111] The GOA unit 130 outputs the scan signal Gs from the first signal output terminal SO1 according to the clock signal CKa received by the first clock signal input terminal CI1. At the same time, the scan signal Gs also serves as the reset scan signal Rs of the GOA unit 130 that is m levels away from the current GOA unit 130. At the same time, the GOA unit 130 outputs the compensation scan signal Gr from the second signal output terminal SO2 according to the clock signal CKe received by the first clock signal input terminal CI1. The GOA unit 130 stops outputting the compensation scan signal Gr from the second signal output terminal SO2 after receiving the clock signal CKe + a from the second clock signal input terminal CI2. It can be understood that when the first clock signal input terminal CI1 does not receive the clock signal CKe, the GOA unit 130 stops outputting the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs from the first signal output terminal SO1.

[0112] In this embodiment, the GOA units 130 are cascaded in sequence. Specifically, for the cascaded GOA units 130, any one GOA unit 130 is cascaded with the GOA unit of 1 adjacent GOA unit. For example, the GOA unit 130 of the first stage is cascaded with the GOA unit 130 of the second stage, and the GOA unit 130 of the third stage is cascaded with the GOA unit 130 of the second stage.

[0113] The circuit structure and working mode of the virtual GOA unit 131 are the same as those of the GOA unit 130. Multiple virtual GOA units 131 are also cascaded with adjacent virtual GOA units 131 in sequence, and the last-stage virtual GOA unit 131 is cascaded with the GOA unit 130 of the first stage. In this embodiment, the number of virtual GOA units 131 corresponds to f virtual scan cycles, where f is 6.

[0114] The specific cascading method is as follows: The enable trigger terminal En of the virtual GOA unit 131 of the first stage receives the trigger signal STV output from the timing drive circuit. At the same time, the virtual GOA unit 131 of the first stage outputs a stage transmission signal to the virtual GOA unit 131 of the second stage, and so on. The last-stage virtual GOA unit 131 outputs a stage transmission signal to the enable trigger terminal En of the GOA unit 130 of the first stage, and the enable trigger terminal En of the GOA unit 130 of the second stage receives the stage transmission signal output by the GOA unit 130 of the first stage.

[0115] In this embodiment, the circuit structure and working principle of the virtual GOA unit 131 and the GOA unit 130 are the same. The only difference is that the second signal output terminal SO2 of the virtual GOA unit 131 is not directly connected to the scan line. The first signal output terminal SO1 outputs a reset scan signal Rs, and a compensation scan signal Gr is output from the second signal output terminal SO2. Considering the timing requirements, in this embodiment, six virtual GOA units 131 are used to output six groups of reset scan signals Rs and compensation scan signals Gr to the pixel units of the 1st to the 6th rows respectively, while the GOA units 130 of the (m - 6)th to the mth stages at the last position of the cascade do not need to output the corresponding reset scan signals Rs and compensation scan signals Gr to the pixel units of the (m - 6)th to the mth rows.

[0116] The corresponding relationship between the virtual GOA unit 131, the GOA unit 130, f virtual scan cycles, and m scan cycles is as follows: The f virtual scan cycles can be defined as the 1st to the fth virtual scan cycles in sequence, and the m scan cycles can be defined as the 1st to the mth scan cycles in sequence. And the fth virtual scan cycle is continuous with the 1st scan cycle in time. The virtual GOA unit 131 corresponds to f consecutive virtual scan cycles respectively, and the 1st to the fth stage virtual scan driving units are used to output the reset scan signal and the compensation scan signal respectively corresponding to the reset period and the compensation period in the 1st to the fth virtual scan cycles.

[0117] Correspondingly, the light-emitting driving circuit 14 includes a plurality of light-emitting driving units 140. For the convenience of description and understanding, the light-emitting driving unit 140 in this embodiment can be represented as an EOA unit 140. That is, the light-emitting driving circuit 14 includes a plurality of EOA units 140.

[0118] The EOA unit 140 includes a light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, a first light-emitting input terminal EI1, a second light-emitting input terminal EI2, and a light-emitting output terminal EO. Among them, the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI is used to receive the light-emitting clock signal EK. The first light-emitting input terminal EI1 and the second light-emitting input terminal EI2 are connected to the first signal output terminals SO1 of two GOA units 130 at a preset level interval to respectively receive two scanning signals Gs. The EOA unit 140 outputs a light-emitting signal from the light-emitting output terminal EO to the light-emitting line according to the two scanning signals Gs. In this embodiment, the two scanning signals Gs are spaced apart by b unit time lengths. It can be understood that b is the same as the number f of virtual GOA units 131. For example, b can be 6, that is, the two scanning signals Gs are spaced apart by 6 unit time lengths 6H. That is to say, the first light-emitting input terminal EI1 and the second light-emitting input terminal EI2 are respectively connected to the first signal output terminals SO1 of two GOA units 130 at an interval of six levels. For example, the first signal output terminals SO1 of the GOA unit 130 at the i-th level and the GOA unit 130 at the i-6-th level.

[0119] In this embodiment, for the EOA unit 140 at the i-th level, the first light-emitting input terminal EI1 is connected to the first signal output terminal SO1 of the GOA unit 130 at the i-6-th level, and the second light-emitting input terminal EI2 is connected to the first signal output terminal SO1 of the GOA unit 130 at the i-th level.

[0120] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the load of the light-emitting clock signal, two light-emitting clock signals EK are included, and two light-emitting clock signal lines are respectively connected to different EOA units 140. Among them, the two light-emitting clock signals EK are also pulse signals output periodically, and the pulse width of each pulse signal is 1 unit time length 8H. Among them, the light-emitting clock signal EK has a phase opposite to that of the clock signal CK, but the period, frequency, and duty cycle are the same.

The first control terminal T10 is connected to the enable trigger terminal En, the first conductive terminal T11 is connected to the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH, and the second conductive terminal T12 is connected to the first control node PU. Wherein, the first switching transistor T1 is configured to conduct under the control of the enable trigger signal and load the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH to the first control node PU. Correspondingly, the first switching transistor T1 is in a cut-off state when it does not receive the enable trigger signal, thereby stopping loading the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH to the first control node PU.

[0131] In this embodiment, the first switching transistor T1 is an N-type thin-film transistor (TFT).

The seventh switching transistor T7 conducts under the control of the clock signal CKe+a received at the second clock signal input terminal CI2, thereby loading the low-potential voltage of the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the first control node PU. Correspondingly, the seventh switching transistor T7 is in a cut-off state when it does not receive the clock signal CKe+a, thereby stopping loading the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the first control node PU.

[0134] In this embodiment, the seventh switching transistor T7 is an N-type thin film transistor (TFT). Then, the corresponding clock signal CKe+a is turned on when it is at a high level, and its gate can be used as the seventh control terminal T70, or rather, its gate is directly connected to the seventh control terminal T70.

The eighth switching transistor T8 is turned on under the control of the high voltage of the second control node PD, so as to load the low-potential voltage of the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the first control node PU. Correspondingly, when the second control node PD is at a low voltage, the eighth switching transistor T8 is in an off state, so as to stop loading the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the first control node PU.

[0136] In this embodiment, the eighth switching transistor T8 is an N-type thin film transistor (TFT).

Among them, the second control terminal T20 and the second pull-up conduction terminal T21 are both connected to the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH. The second pull-down conduction terminal T22 is connected to the second control node PD. Since the second control terminal T20 and the second pull-up conduction terminal T21 are both connected to the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH, the second switching transistor T2 forms a diode connection, and the second switching transistor T2 can be directly turned on under the control of the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH, so that the high-potential voltage of the high-voltage power supply terminal VDD is applied to the second control node PU. It should be noted that when the second control node PD is not connected to the low potential by other switching transistors, the turned-on second switching transistor T2 will apply the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VDD to the second control node PD. If the second control node PD has been connected to the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS or loaded with a low-potential voltage by other switching transistors, the second switching transistor T2 will not apply the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VDD to the second control node PD.

[0138] In this embodiment, the second switching transistor T2 is an N-type thin-film transistor, and its gate can be used as the second control terminal T20, or its gate is directly connected to the second control terminal T20; the drain of the second switching transistor T2 can be used as the second pull-up conduction terminal T21, or its drain is directly connected to the second pull-up conduction terminal T21; the source of the second switching transistor T2 can be used as the second pull-down conduction terminal T22, or its source is directly connected to the second pull-down conduction terminal T22.

The sixth switching transistor T6 is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the first control node PU, so as to provide the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the second control node PD, that is, to control the voltage of the second control node PD to be low potential. Correspondingly, the sixth switching transistor T6 is in the cut-off state when the first control node PU is at a low voltage, so as to stop applying the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS to the second control node PD.

[0140] In this embodiment, the sixth switching transistor T6 is an N-type thin-film transistor (TFT). Then, when the corresponding first control node PU is at a high level, it conducts. Its gate can serve as the sixth control terminal T60, or its gate is directly connected to the sixth control terminal T60.

The storage capacitor Cc is used to maintain the voltage of the first control node PU at a high level. The third clock output switching transistor T3a conducts under the control of the high-level voltage of the first control node PU, so as to output the clock signal CKa provided by the first clock signal input terminal CI1 as the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs from the first signal output terminal SO1. Correspondingly, it can be understood that when the third clock output switching transistor T3a conducts, if the first clock signal input terminal CI1 stops providing the clock signal CKa, the output of the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs from the first signal output terminal SO1 stops.

[0142] In this embodiment, the third clock output switching transistor T3a is an N-type thin-film transistor (TFT). Then, when the corresponding first control node PU is at a high level, it conducts.

The fourth clock output switching transistor T4a is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the second control node PD, so as to output the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage power supply section VSS from the first signal output terminal SO1, thereby ensuring that the first signal output terminal SO1 accurately stops outputting the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs. Correspondingly, when the second control node PD is at a low-potential voltage, the fourth clock output switching transistor T4a is cut off, so as to stop outputting the low-potential voltage provided by the low-voltage conduction terminal VSS from the first signal output terminal SO1.

[0144] In this embodiment, the fourth clock output switching transistor T4a is an N-type thin-film transistor, so it is turned on when the corresponding second control node PD is at a high level.

The fifth compensation scan output conduction terminal T515 is connected to the first control node PU, and the sixth compensation scan output conduction terminal T516 is connected to the third control node PUB. The fifth compensation scan output switching transistor T5a is turned on under the control of the clock signal CKa provided by the first clock signal input terminal CI1, so as to transmit and load the high-potential voltage of the first control node PU to the third control node PUB, so that the voltage of the third control node PUB also corresponds to a high potential. In this embodiment, the width-to-length ratio (W / L) of the conductive channel in the fifth compensation scan output switching transistor T5a is relatively large, that is, its parasitic capacitance is relatively large.

[0156] Now in combination with Figures 8 - 9 , the working process of the GOA unit 130 will be specifically described.

[0157] During the enable trigger period EH, the enable trigger signal STV is output and loaded to the first control terminal T10 of the first switch transistor T1. The first switch transistor T1 is turned on under the control of the enable trigger signal, so as to load the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH to the first control node PU, and pull up the voltage of the first control node PU to a high potential.

[0158] Since the voltage of the first control node PU is at a high potential, the corresponding control makes the sixth switching transistor T6 and the third clock output switching transistor T3a conduct. When the sixth switching transistor T6 conducts, the corresponding control makes the second control node PD at a low potential. When the third clock output switching transistor T3a conducts, the voltage of the first clock signal input terminal CI1 is output at the first signal output terminal SO1. It can be understood that at this time, the first clock signal input terminal CI1 does not receive the clock signal CKa, so the first signal output terminal SO1 does not output the clock signal CKa.

[0159] During the compensation period H2 and the data loading period H3, the first clock signal input terminal CI1 loads the clock signal CKa. Due to the storage effect of the energy storage capacitor Cc, the voltage of the first control node PU is further increased, so as to more accurately and stably control the third clock output switching transistor T3a to be in a conducting state. At this time, the clock signal CKa is output from the first signal output terminal SO1 through the third clock output switching transistor T3a to be used as the scanning signal Gsi of the current scanning line and the reset scanning signal Rsi of the GOA unit 130 with a preset level interval.

[0160] Meanwhile, the clock signal CKa is also transmitted from the first clock signal input terminal CI1 to the compensation capacitor Cm. The fifth compensation scanning output switching transistor T5a conducts under the control of the clock signal CKa provided by the first clock signal input terminal CI1 through the compensation capacitor Cm, so as to transmit and load the high-potential voltage of the first control node PU to the third control node PUB, making the voltage of the third control node PUB also corresponding to a high potential. Accordingly, the third compensation scanning output switching transistor T3b conducts under the control of the high-potential voltage provided by the third control node PUB, so as to transmit and load the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH to the second signal output terminal SO2 to be output as the compensation scanning signal Gr.

[0161] After the clock signal CKa stops outputting after continuously outputting for a unit duration of 1H, although the third clock output switching transistor T3a is still in the on state, since the clock signal CKa stops outputting, the corresponding first signal output terminal SO1 stops outputting the scan signal Gs and the reset scan signal Rs. However, since the fifth compensation scan output switching transistor T5a can maintain the on state within a preset period after being turned on, the high-potential voltage transmission of the first control node PU is continuously controlled to be loaded to the third control node PUB within the preset period to ensure that the voltage of the third control node PUB is at a high potential. Then, the third compensation scan output switching transistor T3b can also be in the on state within the preset period, and can continuously transmit and load the high-potential voltage provided by the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH to the second signal output terminal SO2 within this preset period as the compensation scan signal Gr output, that is, continuously output the compensation scan signal Gr within the preset period. In this embodiment, the compensation scan signal Gr can be continuously output within a period of 5 unit durations of 5H.

[0162] After the compensation period H2, that is, after the preset period, the second clock signal input terminal CI2 receives the clock signal CKe+a, and the seventh switching transistor T7 and the eighth switching transistor T8 are turned on, so that the low-potential voltage of the low-voltage power supply terminal VSS is loaded to the first control node PU to pull down the voltage of the first control node PU to a low potential. Thus, the corresponding third clock output switching transistor T3a, fifth compensation scan output switching transistor T5a, and sixth switching transistor T6 are all turned off.

[0163] At the same time, the second switching transistor T2 is turned on under the control of the high-voltage power supply terminal VGH, so that the high-potential voltage of the high-voltage power supply terminal VDD is loaded to the second control node PD. The eighth switching transistor T8 is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the second control node PD, so as to further pull down the voltage of the first control node PU to a low potential. Correspondingly, the fourth clock output switching transistor T4a, fourth compensation scan off-switching transistor T4b, and fifth compensation scan off-switching transistor T5b are all turned on, and the corresponding scan signal Gs, reset scan signal Rs, and compensation scan signal Gr output by the first signal output terminal SO1 and the second signal output terminal SO2 are accurately controlled to stop outputting.

[0164] In this embodiment, through the first clock signal output module 35, the second clock signal output module 36, the first reset scan output module 37, and the second reset scan output module 38 included in the GOA unit 130, it is possible to output scan signals Gs and compensation scan signals Gr with different durations. That is to say, in a single GOA unit 130, it is possible to output scan signals Gs and reset scan signals Rs, output compensation scan signals Gr, and ensure that the durations of the scan signals Gs and the compensation scan signals Gr are different, effectively simplifying the circuit structure of the GOA unit 130, improving the signal output efficiency of the GOA unit 130, and increasing the integration level and design space of the scan driving circuit 13.

[0165] Please refer to Figure 10 , which is a schematic circuit diagram of any one of the light-emitting driving units as shown in Figure 7 .

[0166] As shown in Figure 10 , the EOA unit 140 includes a first light-emitting pull-up module 41, a first light-emitting pull-down module 42, a second light-emitting pull-up module 43, a second light-emitting pull-down module 44, a first light-emitting signal output module 45, and a second light-emitting signal output module 46.

[0167] The first light-emitting pull-up module 41 is connected to the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, and the first light-emitting control node EPU, and is used to load the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the first light-emitting control node EPU under the control of the light-emitting clock signal EK, so as to control the voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU to be at a high potential.

[0168] Specifically, the first light-emitting pull-up module 41 includes a first light-emitting switching transistor ET1. The first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 includes a first light-emitting control end ET10, a first light-emitting conduction end ET11, and a second light-emitting conduction end ET12. The first light-emitting control end ET10 is connected to the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, the first light-emitting conduction end ET11 is connected to the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, and the second light-emitting conduction end ET12 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU. Among them, the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 is used to conduct under the control of the light-emitting clock signal EK and load the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the first light-emitting control node EPU. Correspondingly, the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 is in an off state when it does not receive the light-emitting clock signal EK, so as to stop loading the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the first light-emitting control node EPU.

[0169] In this embodiment, the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 is an N-type thin-film transistor. When the corresponding light-emitting clock signal EK is at a high level, it controls the conduction of the transistor. Its gate can be used as the first light-emitting control terminal ET10, or its gate is directly connected to the first light-emitting control terminal ET10. The drain of the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 can be used as the second light-emitting conduction terminal ET12, or its drain is directly connected to the second light-emitting conduction terminal ET12. The source of the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 can be used as the first light-emitting conduction terminal ET11, or its source is directly connected to the first light-emitting conduction terminal ET11. In other embodiments of the application, the first light-emitting switching transistor ET1 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor. When the corresponding light-emitting clock signal EK is at a high level, it controls the conduction of the transistor.

[0170] The first light-emitting pull-down module 42 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, the second light-emitting control node EPD, and the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. When the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential, it loads the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU, that is, pulls down the potential of the first light-emitting control node EPU.

[0171] Among them, the first light-emitting pull-down module 42 includes a seventh light-emitting switching transistor ET7. The seventh light-emitting switching transistor ET7 includes a seventh light-emitting control terminal ET70, a seventh light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET71, and a seventh light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET72. Among them, the seventh light-emitting control terminal ET70 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD, the seventh light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET71 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, and the seventh light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET72 is connected to the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. The seventh light-emitting switching transistor ET7 is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD, so as to load the low-potential voltage of the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU. Correspondingly, when the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential, the seventh light-emitting switching transistor ET7 is in an off state, so as to stop loading the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU.

[0172] In this embodiment, the seventh light-emitting switch transistor ET7 is an N-type thin-film transistor (TFT). Correspondingly, the clock signal CKe+a is turned on when it is at a high level. Its gate can serve as the seventh control terminal T70, or rather, its gate is directly connected to the seventh light-emitting control terminal ET70. The drain of the seventh light-emitting switch transistor ET7 can serve as the seventh light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET71, or rather, its drain is directly connected to the seventh light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET71. The source of the seventh light-emitting switch transistor ET7 can serve as the seventh light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET72, or rather, its source is directly connected to the seventh light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET72. In other embodiments of the application, the seventh light-emitting switch transistor ET7 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor.

[0173] The second light-emitting pull-up module 43 is connected to the first light-emitting input terminal EI1, the second light-emitting input terminal EI2, and the second light-emitting control node EPD, and is used to raise the voltage potential of the second light-emitting control node EPD when the scan signal received at the first light-emitting input terminal EI1 or the second light-emitting input terminal EI2 is high.

[0174] The second light-emitting pull-up module 43 includes a second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a and a second pull-up write switch transistor ET2b. The second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a includes a second pull-up reset control terminal ET210, a first pull-up reset conduction terminal ET211, and a second pull-up reset conduction terminal ET212. Among them, the second pull-up reset control terminal ET210 and the first pull-up reset conduction terminal ET211 are both connected to the first light-emitting input terminal EI1, and the second pull-up reset conduction terminal ET212 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD. The second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the scan signal Gs provided by the first light-emitting input terminal EI1, so as to transmit and load the high potential of the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0175] Correspondingly, it can be understood that when the second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a is turned on, if the first light-emitting input terminal EI1 stops providing the scan signal Gs, the loading of the high-potential voltage to the second light-emitting control node EPD stops. And it should be noted that when the second light-emitting control node EPD is not connected to a low potential by other switch transistors, the turned-on second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a will load the high-potential voltage provided by the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD. If the second light-emitting control node EPD has been connected to the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS through other switch transistors, the second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a will not load the high-potential voltage in the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0176] Similarly, the second pull-up write switch transistor ET2b includes a second pull-up write control terminal ET220, a first pull-up write conduction terminal ET221, and a second pull-up write conduction terminal ET222. Among them, the second pull-up write control terminal ET220 and the first pull-up write conduction terminal ET221 are both connected to the second light-emitting input terminal EI2, and the second pull-up write conduction terminal ET222 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD. The second pull-up write switch transistor T2b is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the scan signal Gs provided by the second light-emitting input terminal EEI2, so as to transmit and load the high potential of the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0177] In this embodiment, the second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a and the second pull-up write switch transistor ET2b are N-type thin-film transistors. Their gates can serve as or be directly connected to the second pull-up reset control terminal ET210 and the second pull-up write control terminal ET220, while the source and drain electrodes can serve as the corresponding conduction terminals or be directly connected to the corresponding conduction terminals. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a and the second pull-up write switch transistor ET2b can also be P-type thin-film transistors.

[0178] The second light-emitting pull-down module 44 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, the second light-emitting control node EPU, and the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. When the first light-emitting control node EPU is at a high-potential voltage, it is used to load the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the second light-emitting control node EPD, that is, to pull down the potential of the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0179] Specifically, the second light-emitting pull-down module 44 includes a sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6. The sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 includes a sixth light-emitting control terminal ET60, a sixth light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET61, and a sixth light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET62. Among them, the sixth light-emitting control terminal ET60 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, the sixth light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET61 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPU, and the sixth light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET62 is connected to the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. The sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU, so as to provide the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the second light-emitting control node EPD, that is, to control the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD to be at a low potential. Correspondingly, the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 is in an off state when the first light-emitting control node EPU is at a low voltage, so as to stop loading the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0180] In this embodiment, the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 is an N-type thin-film transistor (TFT). Then, when the corresponding first light-emitting control node EPU is at a high level, it conducts, and its gate can be used as the sixth light-emitting control terminal ET60, or rather, its gate is directly connected to the sixth light-emitting control terminal ET60. The drain of the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 can be used as the sixth light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET61, or rather, its drain is directly connected to the sixth light-emitting pull-up conduction terminal ET61. The source of the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 can be used as the sixth light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET62, or rather, its source is directly connected to the sixth light-emitting pull-down conduction terminal ET62. In other embodiments of the application, the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor, and then it conducts when the voltage of the corresponding first light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential.

[0181] The first light-emitting signal output module 45 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, and the light-emitting output terminal EO, and is configured to output the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH as a light-emitting signal from the light-emitting output terminal EO under the control of the high potential of the first light-emitting control node EPU within a second preset duration.

[0182] The first light-emitting signal output module 45 includes a third light-emitting output switch transistor ET3 and a light-emitting energy storage capacitor ECc. The third light-emitting clock output switch transistor ET3 includes a third light-emitting output control terminal ET30, a first light-emitting output conduction terminal ET31, and a second light-emitting output conduction terminal ET32. Among them, the third light-emitting output control terminal ET30 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, the first light-emitting output conduction terminal ET31 is connected to the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, and the second light-emitting output conduction terminal ET32 is connected to the light-emitting output terminal EO.

[0183] The light-emitting energy storage capacitor ECc is connected between the first light-emitting control node EPU and the light-emitting output terminal EO. The light-emitting energy storage capacitor ECc is used to maintain the voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU at a high potential during a preset period. In this embodiment, the duration of the preset period is 5 unit durations (5H). Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the preset period can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0184] The third light-emitting output switch transistor ET3 conducts under the control of the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU, so as to output the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH as a light-emitting signal Es from the light-emitting output terminal EO.

[0185] In this embodiment, the third light-emitting output switching transistor ET3 is an N-type thin-film transistor, whose gate can serve as the third light-emitting output control terminal ET30, or rather, its gate is directly connected to the third light-emitting output control terminal ET30; its source and drain can respectively serve as two conductive terminals. In other embodiments of the present application, the third light-emitting output switching transistor ET3 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor, and then it conducts when the voltage of the corresponding first light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential.

[0186] The second light-emitting signal output module 46 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD, the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS, the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, and the light-emitting output terminal EO. The second light-emitting signal output module 46 is configured to control the light-emitting output terminal EO to stop outputting the light-emitting signal when the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential or when it receives the light-emitting clock signal.

[0187] The second light-emitting signal output module 46 includes a first light-emitting turn-off switching transistor ET4 and a second light-emitting turn-off switching transistor ET5. The second light-emitting signal output module 46 is configured to be connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD, the second light-emitting input terminal EI2, and the light-emitting output terminal EO, and is configured to control the light-emitting output terminal EO to stop outputting the light-emitting signal Es when it receives the light-emitting clock signal EK or when the second light-emitting control node EPD is at an effective trigger potential.

[0188] The first light-emitting turn-off switching transistor ET4 includes a first light-emitting turn-off control terminal ET40, a first light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET41, and a second light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET42. Among them, the first light-emitting turn-off control terminal ET40 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD, the first light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET41 is connected to the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, and the second light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal T42 is connected to the light-emitting output terminal EO. The first light-emitting turn-off switching transistor ET4 conducts under the control of the high-potential voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD, so as to output the light-emitting clock signal provided by the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI from the output light-emitting output terminal EO, that is, to load the transmission of the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI to the output light-emitting output terminal EO. In this embodiment, when the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential, the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI does not output the light-emitting clock signal EK, and at this time, the corresponding light-emitting output terminal EO stops outputting the light-emitting signal Es.

[0189] In this embodiment, the first light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET4 is an N-type thin-film transistor, which conducts when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential and cuts off when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential. Its gate can serve as or be directly connected to the first light-emitting turn-off control terminal T40, and its source and drain electrodes serve as two conductive terminals respectively. In other embodiments of the application, the first light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET4 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor, which can conduct when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential and cut off when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential.

[0190] The second light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET5 includes a second light-emitting turn-off control terminal ET50, a third light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET53, and a fourth light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET54. Among them, the second light-emitting turn-off control terminal ET50 is connected to the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, the third light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal T53 is connected to the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS, and the fourth light-emitting turn-off conductive terminal ET54 is connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD.

[0191] The second light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET5 conducts under the control of the high-potential voltage of the light-emitting clock signal EK provided by the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI, thereby loading the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the second light-emitting control node EPD, and further controlling the first light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET4 to be in a cut-off state, further accurately preventing the light-emitting clock signal EK provided by the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI from being transmitted to the light-emitting output terminal EO through the first light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET4.

[0192] In this embodiment, the second light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET5 is an N-type thin-film transistor, whose gate can serve as or be directly connected to the second light-emitting turn-off control terminal T50, and its source and drain electrodes serve as two conductive terminals respectively. In other embodiments of the application, the second light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET5 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor.

[0193] Please refer to Figure 11 which is the working timing diagram of the light-emitting driving unit as shown in Figure 10 . Among them, Gs(i-b) is the waveform schematic diagram of the scanning signal output by the first light-emitting input terminal EI1, Gsi is the waveform schematic diagram of the scanning signal output by the second light-emitting input terminal EI2, ECK is the waveform schematic diagram of the light-emitting clock signal, EPU is the voltage waveform schematic diagram of the first light-emitting control node EPU, EPD is the voltage waveform schematic diagram of the second light-emitting control node EPD, and Es is the waveform schematic diagram of the light-emitting signal Es output by the light-emitting output terminal EO.

[0194] Now in combination with Figures 10 - 11 , the working process of the EOA unit 140 will be specifically described.

[0195] During the reset period H1, the scan signal Gs provided by the first light-emitting input terminal EI1 controls the second pull-up reset switch transistor ET2a to conduct, and loads the high-potential voltage in the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD, thereby pulling up the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD to a high potential.

[0196] The high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node PU controls the seventh light-emitting transistor ET7 to be in a conducting state, and then loads the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage conductive end EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU. At the same time, the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node PU controls the first light-emitting turn-off switch transistor ET4 to conduct, thereby transmitting the low voltage of the light-emitting clock signal EK in the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI at this time to the light-emitting output terminal EO.

[0197] During the compensation scan period H2 and the light-emitting period H4, the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI controls the first light-emitting switch transistor ET1 to conduct, thereby loading the high-potential voltage in the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the first light-emitting control node EPU, thereby pulling up the voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU to a high potential.

[0198] The high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU controls the third light-emitting output switch transistor ET3 to conduct, thereby loading the high-potential voltage in the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the light-emitting output terminal EO as the light-emitting signal Es for output. Due to the storage effect of the light-emitting energy storage capacitor ECc, the voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU is accurately and stably maintained at a high potential state, thereby controlling the third light-emitting output switch transistor ET3 to continuously conduct, and further maintaining the continuous output of the light-emitting signal Es within a preset period.

[0199] At the same time, the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU controls the sixth light-emitting switch transistor ET6 to conduct, so that the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS is loaded to the second light-emitting control node EPD, that is, pulling down the potential of the second light-emitting control node EPD to ensure the accurate output of the light-emitting signal Es.

[0200] During the data loading period H3, the scan signal Gs provided by the second light-emitting input terminal EI2 controls the second pull-up write switch transistor ET2b to conduct, and loads the high-potential voltage in the scan signal Gs to the second light-emitting control node EPD, thereby pulling up the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD to a high potential.

[0201] Similarly, the high potential of the voltage of the first light-emitting control node PU controls the seventh light-emitting transistor ET7 to be in a conducting state, and then loads the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage conductive terminal EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU, causing the third light-emitting output switching transistor ET3 to cut off, and the light-emitting output terminal EO stops outputting the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH.

[0202] Meanwhile, the high potential of the voltage of the first light-emitting control node PU controls the first light-emitting turn-off switching transistor ET4 to conduct, thereby transmitting the low voltage of the light-emitting clock signal EK in the light-emitting clock signal input terminal EKI at this time to the light-emitting output terminal EO, accurately controlling the light-emitting signal Es to stop outputting.

[0203] Please refer to Figure 12 , which is a schematic circuit diagram of any one of the light-emitting driving units in a modified embodiment as shown in Figure 7 . Figure 12 The circuit structure, working principle, and working timing of the EOA unit 140 shown and the Figure 10 shown EOA unit are basically the same, and the only difference lies in the circuit structure of the first light-emitting pull-down module 42, while the first light-emitting pull-up module 41, the second light-emitting pull-up module 43, the second light-emitting pull-down module 44, the first light-emitting signal output module 45, and the second light-emitting signal output module 46 are all the same.

[0204] Among them, the first light-emitting pull-down module 42 is connected to the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, the first light-emitting control node EPU, the second light-emitting control node EPD, and the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. When the voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential, it is used to load the low-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS to the first light-emitting control node EPU, that is, to pull down the potential of the first light-emitting control node EPU; at the same time, when the first light-emitting control node EPU is at a high potential, it disconnects the conductive path between the first light-emitting control node EPU and the light-emitting low-voltage conductive terminal through the high-potential voltage provided by the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, preventing the current leakage of the first light-emitting control node EPU and ensuring that the voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU is accurately positioned at a high potential.

[0205] Specifically, the first light-emitting pull-down module 42 includes two serially connected seventh light-emitting switching transistors and an eighth switching transistor ET8. The two serially connected seventh light-emitting switching transistors can be defined as a seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a and a seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b that are serially connected through an intermediate node Nm. More specifically, one of the conductive terminals of the seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPU, and one of the conductive terminals of the seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b is connected to the light-emitting low-voltage power supply terminal EVSS. The other two conductive terminals of both are connected to the intermediate node Nm. The control terminals of the seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a and the seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b are both connected to the second light-emitting control node EPD. The two serially connected seventh light-emitting switching transistors are used to conduct simultaneously when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential, thereby quickly pulling down the potential of the first light-emitting control node EPU and quickly releasing the charge of the first light-emitting control node EPU. It can effectively improve the safety of the current when the first light-emitting control node EPU is released and prevent the switching transistor from being damaged by a tip or surge current.

[0206] It can be understood that the control terminals of the seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a and the seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b are the gates of the two switching transistors, and the conductive terminals are the source-drain electrodes of the two switching transistors. In this embodiment, both the seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a and the seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b are N-type thin-film transistors. Then, both conduct when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a high potential, that is, the high-potential voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD serves as its conduction trigger voltage. In other embodiments of the application, the seventh upper light-emitting switching transistor ET7a and the seventh lower light-emitting switching transistor ET7b can also be P-type thin-film transistors. Then, correspondingly, both conduct when the voltage at the second light-emitting control node EPD is at a low potential, that is, the low-potential voltage of the second light-emitting control node EPD serves as its conduction trigger voltage.

[0207] The eighth switching transistor ET8 includes an eighth light-emitting control terminal ET80, an eighth pull-up conductive terminal ET81, and an eighth light-emitting pull-down conductive terminal ET82. Among them, the eighth light-emitting control terminal ET80 is connected to the first light-emitting control node EPD, the eighth pull-up conductive terminal ET81 is connected to the light-emitting high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH, and the eighth light-emitting pull-down conductive terminal ET82 is connected to the intermediate node Nm between the two serially connected seventh light-emitting switching transistors.

[0208] The eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 is turned on under the control of the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU, thereby loading the high-potential voltage of the high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the intermediate node Nm. Correspondingly, the eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 is in the cut-off state when the first light-emitting control node EPU is at a low voltage, thereby stopping loading the high-potential voltage of the high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the intermediate node Nm. The eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 is used to load the high-potential voltage of the high-voltage power supply terminal EVGH to the intermediate node Nm under the high-potential voltage of the first light-emitting control node EPU, thereby effectively preventing the first light-emitting control node EPU from forming a conductive path through the seventh upper-link light-emitting switch transistor ET7a and the seventh lower-link light-emitting switch transistor ET7b, and discharging the current of the first light-emitting control node EPU. In other words, the eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 can effectively ensure that the potential of the first light-emitting control node EPU is accurately maintained at a high potential.

[0209] In this embodiment, the eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 is an N-type thin-film transistor, where its gate is the eighth light-emitting control terminal ET80, and the source and drain electrodes are respectively used as two conductive terminals. In other embodiments of the application, the eighth light-emitting switch transistor ET8 can also be a P-type thin-film transistor.
