[0048] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined, and "electrically connected" means that the two are connected through a conductive material, and is not limited to being constantly conductive or partially conductive.

[0050] In addition, it should be noted that the drawings only provide structures and steps that are closely related to the present invention, and some details that are not closely related to the invention are omitted. The purpose is to simplify the drawings and make the invention clear at a glance, rather than to indicate that the actual device is exactly the same as the attached drawings. Figure 1 The same is not a limitation of the actual device.

[0051] The present invention provides a display device, which may include but is not limited to the following embodiments and combinations of the following embodiments.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the display device 100 includes a plurality of control circuits 10 and a corresponding plurality of pixel circuits 20, wherein the control circuit 10 includes a detection unit 101 and a voltage generation unit 102 corresponding to the pixel circuit 20, and the pixel circuit 20 includes: a light-emitting element D; a data writing transistor T2, wherein one of the source and the drain of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the corresponding detection unit 101 and the corresponding voltage generation unit 102; a driving transistor T1, wherein the gate of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to the data writing transistor T2, and one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to one end of the light-emitting element D; a compensation transistor T4, which is electrically connected between one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the gate of the driving transistor T1; Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, they are Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the corresponding timing diagram, in the first time period t1, the data writing transistor T2 is used to transmit the first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 to the gate of the driving transistor T1, and the compensation transistor T4 is used to transmit the first reset signal Vini to one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1; in the second time period t2 after the first time period t1, the driving transistor T1 is used to receive the first voltage signal Vdd transmitted by the first voltage line, and the driving transistor T1 is turned on under the action of the first reset signal Vini, the first voltage signal Vdd and the turned-on compensation transistor T4, so that the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 increases or decreases until the driving transistor T1 is turned off; in the third time period t3 after the second time period t2, the detection unit 101 is used to obtain the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 through the data writing transistor T2, and the control circuit 10 is used to generate the compensation voltage signal Vb according to the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1.

[0053] Among them, the display device 100 may include a display panel, a driver and the above-mentioned power manager. The display panel may include multiple pixel circuits 20 mentioned above. The power manager can provide corresponding voltage signals to multiple pixel circuits and drivers respectively. The driver can generate control signals and data signals Vdata acting on the pixel circuits 20 according to the corresponding voltage signals. The multiple pixel circuits 20 control the multiple light-emitting elements D therein to emit light under the action of the control signals, data signals and corresponding voltage signals, thereby presenting a display picture.

[0054] Specifically, the driver may include a gate driver (not shown, and may be integrated into the display panel or provided independently of the display panel) and a source driver (not shown). Taking a display panel including N (N is a positive integer) rows of pixel circuits 20 as an example, the gate driver may generate N first gate signals Scan, which are transmitted to the N rows of pixel circuits 20, and the source driver may generate multiple data signals Vdata, which are transmitted to multiple columns of pixel circuits 20. Each data signal Vdata may include multiple data voltages corresponding to the multiple pixel circuits 20 in that column. The N gate pulses in the N first gate signals Scan are arranged sequentially on the time axis and are used to control the sequential activation of the N rows of pixel circuits 20. Accordingly, during the activation period of each row of pixel circuits 20, the multiple data signals Vdata output by the source driver are the multiple data voltages corresponding to the multiple pixel circuits 20 in that row, so that the multiple pixel circuits 20 in that row are respectively loaded with the corresponding multiple data voltages.

[0055] Specifically, the aforementioned multiple detection units 101 may be included in a driver, and the aforementioned multiple voltage generation units 102 may be included in a power manager and a source driver Source in the driver. It can be considered that the driver can determine at least one compensation voltage signal Vb based on the potentials Vg of the gates of the multiple driving transistors T1 respectively detected by the multiple detection units 101. For example, the display panel can be divided into multiple regions, and the driver can calculate an average value, a mode, or adopt other calculation methods based on the potentials Vg of the gates of the multiple driving transistors T1 corresponding to each region to obtain a compensation voltage signal Vb suitable for the region. For another example, the driver can calculate an average value, a mode, or adopt other calculation methods based on the potentials Vg of the gates of all driving transistors T1 to obtain a compensation voltage signal Vb suitable for the display panel. Furthermore, the voltage generation unit 102 can generate a subsequent data signal acting on the pixel circuit 20 based on at least the current compensation voltage signal Vb. That is, the data signal Vdata at this time can be considered to have compensated the pixel circuit 20.

[0056] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by providing a detection unit 101 and a voltage generating unit 102 electrically connected to one of the source and the drain of the data writing transistor T2, the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 can be detected and reset in a time-sharing manner only through the data writing transistor T2, so as to avoid setting two or more transistors to respectively realize the above two functions, thereby saving the number of transistors and facilitating the development of high-resolution display products; moreover, the above-mentioned detection unit 101 can obtain the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 through the data writing transistor T2, and the control circuit 10 can generate a compensation voltage signal Vb according to the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1, and the pixel circuit 20 can be externally compensated subsequently, and it can also avoid setting more transistors for internal compensation, further saving the number of transistors and facilitating the development of high-resolution display products.

[0057] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, during the first period t1 of the detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1, since the compensation transistor T4 is also set to be turned on (its conduction state is controlled by the second gate signal En loaded on its gate), the first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1 to reset it. At the same time, the first reset signal Vini can also be transmitted to one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 through the compensation transistor T4 to reset it, thereby avoiding the need for an additional transistor to reset one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. At the same time, during the detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1, the compensation transistor T4 is also set to be turned on (its conduction state is controlled by the second gate signal En loaded on its gate). In the second period t2 of the detection phase, the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 is used to receive the first voltage signal Vdd to turn on the driving transistor T1. At this time, the compensation transistor T4 is still set to be turned on. At this time, the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 rises or falls until it is turned off. Considering that the compensation transistor T4 is set to be turned on in the first period t1 before the second period t2, the starting point of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 is higher in the second period t2. This can accelerate the time when the driving transistor T1 reaches the cut-off state, thereby shortening the duration of the entire "detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1", thereby improving the detection efficiency of the display device 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the pixel circuit 20 further includes: a light emitting control transistor T3, one of the source and the drain of the light emitting control transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first voltage line (for transmitting the first voltage signal Vdd), and the other of the source and the drain of the light emitting control transistor T3 is electrically connected to the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1; Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, at least in the second period t2 , the light emitting control transistor T3 is used to transmit the first voltage signal Vdd to the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 .

[0059] As can be seen from the above discussion, in the second time period t2, the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 needs to receive the first voltage signal Vdd transmitted by the first voltage line to control the driving transistor T1 to be turned on. Therefore, as described in this embodiment, a light-emitting control transistor T3 can be provided between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and its conduction state can be controlled by the third gate signal Em loaded on the gate thereof, thereby controlling whether a current path is formed between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, thereby controlling the potential Vs of the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 to be equal to the first voltage signal Vdd, or controlling the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 to be in a floating state (its potential Vs is unstable).

[0060] Further, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the first time period t1 and the third time period t3, the light-emitting control transistor T3 is used to transmit the first voltage signal Vdd to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. It can be understood that the light-emitting control transistor T3 is turned on in the first time period t1 before the second time period t2, which can also make the starting point of the potential Vs of the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 higher in the second time period t2, thereby accelerating the speed of the driving transistor T1 from being turned off to being turned on. The light-emitting control transistor T3 is turned on in the third time period t3 after the second time period t3, which can maintain the off state of the driving transistor T1 in the second time period t2, thereby preventing the potential Vs of the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 from changing due to its floating state, thereby affecting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 obtained by the detection unit 101.

[0061] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the other end of the light-emitting element D is electrically connected to a second voltage line for transmitting a second voltage signal VSS; in the first time period t1, the second time period t2 and the third time period t3, the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the first reset signal Vini and the amplitude of the second voltage signal VSS is smaller than the voltage value of the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting element D, and the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the second voltage signal VSS and the amplitude of the first voltage signal Vdd is smaller than the absolute value of the difference between the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting element D and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1.

[0062] It should be noted that, since one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 is electrically connected to one end of the light-emitting element D, and in combination with the above discussion, it can be seen that: in the first time period t1, one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 is reset by the first reset signal Vini. To prevent the light-emitting element D from emitting light, it is necessary to satisfy “the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the first reset signal Vini and the amplitude of the second voltage signal VSS is less than the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting element D”; in the second time period t2, the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 rises or falls until the driving transistor T1 is turned off. When the driving transistor T1 is turned off, Vd=Vg=Vdd+Vth, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1. At this time, to prevent the light-emitting element D from emitting light, it is necessary to satisfy Vdd+Vth-VSS is less than the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting element D, that is, “the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the second voltage signal VSS and the amplitude of the first voltage signal Vdd is less than the absolute value of the difference between the turn-on voltage of the light-emitting element D and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1”.

[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pixel circuit 20 further includes a capacitor C electrically connected between the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the first voltage line, wherein the first voltage signal Vdd transmitted by the first voltage line is a constant voltage signal. It is understood that one end of the capacitor C in this embodiment is connected to the first voltage line with a constant potential. When the gate of the driving transistor T1 electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor C is in a floating state, the voltage stabilizing characteristic of the capacitor C can maintain a stable potential. For example, after the "potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 rises or falls until the driving transistor T1 is turned off" mentioned above, the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 (i.e., Vdd+Vth) can remain unchanged, so that the detection unit 101 can detect its potential and generate the compensation voltage signal Vb. It can be considered that Vb=Vth=Vg-Vdd.

[0064] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the fourth time period t4 after the third time period t3, the data writing transistor T2 is used to transmit the first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the compensation transistor T4 is used to transmit the first reset signal Vini to one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and the light emitting control transistor T3 is used to control the formation of a current circuit between the first voltage line (used to transmit the first voltage signal Vdd) and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1.

[0065] It should be noted that the first to third time periods t1 to t3 described above all belong to the "stage of detecting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1". After each detection is completed, the "light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20" can be carried out. The fourth time period t4 here can be understood as the first stage of the "light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20". That is, in the "light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20", it is still necessary to turn on the data writing transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T4 to reset the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the potential Vg of one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 through the first reset signal Vini. At the same time, in order to prevent the light-emitting element D from emitting light, and at this time, there is no need to turn on the driving transistor T1. Therefore, unlike the first time period t1 described above, in the fourth time period t4, the light-emitting control transistor T3 can be controlled to be turned off to prevent the formation of a path between the first voltage line and the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, thereby preventing the formation of a path between the first voltage line and the other end of the light-emitting element D.

[0066] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the fifth time period t5 after the fourth time period t4, the data writing transistor T2 is used to transmit the target data signal Data generated by the voltage generating unit 102 to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the compensation transistor T4 is used to control the formation of a current circuit between one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the gate of the driving transistor T1, and the light emitting control transistor T3 is used to control the formation of a current circuit between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1; wherein, the control circuit 10 is used to generate the target data signal Data according to the compensation voltage signal Vb and the data signal Vdata, and the data signal Vdata is used to be determined according to the corresponding grayscale value.

[0067] Combined with the above discussion, it can be seen that the compensation voltage signal Vb can be generated in the "detection stage of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1", and each pixel circuit can have a corresponding grayscale value in each frame, and each grayscale value also has a corresponding data voltage, thereby determining the data signal Vdata, and then superimposing the compensation voltage signal Vb on the data signal Vdata can obtain the target data signal Data containing compensation information.

[0068] After resetting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 and the potential Vg of one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, the target data signal Data generated by the control circuit 10 can be transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1 through the data writing transistor T2 in the fourth time period t4. At this time, since the compensation transistor T4 and the light-emitting control transistor T3 are both turned off, the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 are both in a floating state, and the driving transistor T1 is temporarily not turned on.

[0069] In some embodiments, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in the sixth time period t6 after the fifth time period t5, the light-emitting control transistor T3 is used to control the formation of a current path between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and the driving transistor T1 is used to generate a driving current according to the target data signal Data to drive the light-emitting element D to emit light.

[0070] Combined with the above discussion, it can be seen that Vb=Vth, Data=Vdata+Vb. In the sixth time period t6, since the first voltage signal Vdd is transmitted to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, and the potential Vg of the driving transistor T1 is maintained at Data, the gate-source voltage difference of the driving transistor T1 can be considered to be Vgs=Vdata+Vb-Vdd. According to the formula for generating a driving current by a transistor, the driving current I=K(Vgs-Vth)²=K(Vdata+Vb-Vdd-Vth). 2 =K(Vdata+Vb-Vdd-Vth) 2= K(Vdata-Vdd) 2 .

[0071] It can be understood that the compensation voltage signal Vb determined by the "detection stage of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1" acts on the pixel circuit 20 in the subsequent "light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20", which can offset the impact of the current threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1 on the brightness of the light-emitting element D.

[0072] In some embodiments, combined Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in Figure 1On the basis of the circuit architecture shown in FIG, the pixel circuit 20 further includes: a first reset transistor T6, one of the source and the drain of the first reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to one end of the light emitting element D and one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and the other of the source and the drain of the first reset transistor T6 is electrically connected to a reset line for transmitting a second reset signal Vini_2; in a fourth time period t4 after the third time period t3, the data writing transistor T2 is used to transmit the first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the compensation transistor T4 is used to electrically disconnect one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 from the gate of the driving transistor T1, and the first reset transistor T6 is used to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. one of the electrodes; in a fifth time period t5 after the fourth time period t4, the data writing transistor T2 is used to transmit the target data signal Data generated by the voltage generating unit 102 to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the compensation transistor T4 is used to control the formation of a current disconnection between one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the gate of the driving transistor T1, the light emitting control transistor T3 is used to control the formation of a current disconnection between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and the first reset transistor T6 is used to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1; wherein the control circuit 10 is used to generate the target data signal Data according to the compensation voltage signal Vb and the data signal Vdata, and the data signal Vdata is used to be determined according to the corresponding grayscale value.

[0073] In particular, the circuit in this embodiment Figure 4 And the circuit above Figure 1 The difference is at least that a first reset transistor T6 electrically connected to one end of the light emitting element D is further provided. In terms of timing, Figure 5 As shown, in the "detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1", the fourth gate signal Sini loaded on the gate of the first reset transistor T6 controls the first reset transistor T6 to be turned off, and the waveforms of other signals loaded in the pixel circuit 20 are the same as Figure 1 The waveform of the signal loaded in the circuit, that is, Figure 2 and Figure 1 The same as the “detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1”.

[0074] Different, such as Figure 6As shown, in the fourth time period t4 (i.e., the first stage of the “light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20”), the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1 is still reset by the current path formed by the first reset signal Vini through the data writing transistor T2, but at this time the compensation transistor T4 is used to electrically disconnect one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 from the gate of the driving transistor T1, that is, the potential Vd of one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 is no longer equal to Vg, but is turned on through the first reset transistor T6 to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 to reset its potential Vg.

[0075] It can be understood that in this embodiment, since the potential Vd of one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 is reset by the first reset transistor T6, in the fifth period t5, different from the above, Figure 1 In the circuit shown, a data write transistor T2 is used to reset Vd. In this embodiment, even if the data write transistor T2 has been used to transmit the target data signal Data to the gate of the driving transistor T1, the first reset transistor T6 can still be used to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 to continuously reset its potential Vg. The reset time can be extended to fully reset it, so as to avoid one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 being suspended, causing its potential Vg to affect the brightness of the light-emitting element D at a later stage.

[0076] In some embodiments, combined Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in Figure 1 On the basis of the circuit architecture shown, the pixel circuit 20 further includes: a second reset transistor T5, one of the source and the drain of the second reset transistor T5 is electrically connected to the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1 and the other of the source and the drain of the light-emitting control transistor T3, and the other of the source and the drain of the second reset transistor T5 is electrically connected to the reset line (for transmitting the second reset signal Vini_2); in the fourth time period t4 and the fifth time period t, the second reset transistor T5 is used to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1.

[0077] It can be understood that the circuit in this embodiment Figure 4 And the circuit above Figure 1 The difference is at least that a second reset transistor T5 electrically connected to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 is further provided. In terms of timing, Figure 5 As shown, in the "detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1", the second reset transistor T5 is also turned off, that is, Figure 2and Figure 1 The same as the “detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1”.

[0078] Different, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the fourth time period t4 (i.e., the first stage of the "light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit 20"), since the second reset transistor T5 is provided, the second reset transistor T5 can be turned on to transmit the second reset signal Vini_2 to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 to reset its potential Vs. Similarly, in the fifth time period t5 after the fourth time period t4, the second reset transistor T5 can still be controlled to be turned on to continuously reset the potential Vs of the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, thereby preventing the potential Vs of the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 from being unstable due to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 being suspended during the fourth time period t4 and the fifth time period t5.

[0079] Among them, when the pixel circuit 20 includes both the first reset transistor T6 and the second reset transistor T5, the other of the source and drain of both can be electrically connected to the reset line to receive the second reset signal Vini_2, and both can be electrically connected to the same gate line to receive the fourth gate signal Sini, so as to reduce the number of signal lines and signal types.

[0080] Similarly, combined Figures 4 to 6 As shown, based on the provision of at least one of the first reset transistor T6 and the second reset transistor T5, in the sixth period t6 after the fifth period t5, the light-emitting control transistor T3 is used to control the formation of a current path between the first voltage line and the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor T1, and the driving transistor T1 is used to generate a driving current according to the target data signal to drive the light-emitting element D to emit light. For details, please refer to the above about Figure 1 Description of the circuit shown.

[0081] It should be noted that the voltage generation unit 102 mentioned above may include a first switching element S1, and the detection unit 101 may include a second switching element S2. The first switching element S1 and the second switching element S2 are composed of transistors. The first switching element S1 can control whether the voltage generation unit 102 outputs the first reset signal Vini or the target data signal Data to the data write transistor T2, and the second switching element S2 can control whether the detection unit 101 obtains the potential Vg of the gate of the drive transistor T1 through the data write transistor T2. The detection unit 101 may be, but is not limited to, an analog-to-digital converter.

[0082] To better illustrate the above Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the working principle of the circuit diagram, the present invention takes the driving transistor T1 as a P-type transistor and the other transistors as N-type transistors as an example, and explains the working stages of the two as follows.

[0083] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 In the circuit diagram shown, the “stage of detecting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1” may include the following periods:

[0084] In the first time period t1, the first gate signal Scan, the second gate signal En and the third gate signal Em are all high potentials, so the data writing transistor T2, the compensation transistor T4 and the light emitting control transistor T3 are all turned on, the first switch element S1 is turned on, the second switch element S2 is turned off, and the voltage generating unit 102 generates the first reset signal Vini, so the first reset signal Vini is transmitted to the gate and one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, and the first voltage signal Vdd is transmitted to the other of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, Vg=Vd=Vini, Vs=Vdd, and at this time the second voltage signal VSS is a corresponding high potential, which must meet Vini-VSS <Voled,以确保发光元件D不发光,Voled为发光元件D的导通电压;

[0085] In the second period t2, the first gate signal Scan, the second gate signal En and the third gate signal Em are all maintained at a high potential, the first switch element S1 and the second switch element S2 are both turned off, and since Vg=Vd=Vini and Vs=Vdd, the driving transistor T1 is turned on, and the first voltage signal Vdd is transmitted to one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 and the gate, and Vg rises until Vg=Vd=Vdd+Vth, and the driving transistor T1 is turned off. Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T1. At this time, the second voltage signal VSS is still at a corresponding high potential, which must meet Vdd+Vth-VSS. <Voled,以确保发光元件D不发光;

[0086] During the third period t3, the first gate signal Scan, the second gate signal En, and the third gate signal Em are all maintained at a high level. The first switch element S1 is turned off, and the second switch element S2 is turned on. The detection unit 101 detects Vg. According to Vg=Vdd+Vth when the driving transistor T1 is turned off, since the first voltage signal Vdd is known, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1 can be calculated.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 In the circuit diagram shown, the “stage of detecting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1” may include the following periods:

[0088] In the fourth period t4, the first gate signal Scan and the second gate signal En are at a high level, the third gate signal Em is at a low level, the data writing transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T4 are turned on, the first switch element S1 is turned on, and the second switch element S2 is turned off (not shown in the signal timing diagram). The first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 is transmitted to the gate and one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1, Vg=Vd=Vini, and Vg and Vd are reset.

[0089] In the fifth period t5, the first gate signal Scan is at a high level, the second gate signal En and the third gate signal Em are at a low level, the data writing transistor T2 is turned on, the first switching element S1 is turned on, and the second switching element S2 is turned off (not shown in the signal timing diagram), the first switching element S1 is turned on, and the second switching element S2 is turned off (not shown in the signal diagram), the target data signal Data (equal to Vdata+Vth) generated by the voltage generating unit 102 is transmitted to the gate of the driving transistor T1, Vg=Vdata+Vth, the light emitting control transistor T3 and the compensation transistor T4 are turned off to avoid affecting Vd and Vg;

[0090] In the sixth period t6, the first gate signal Scan and the second gate signal En are at a low level, the third gate signal Em is at a high level, the first switch element S1 and the second switch element S2 are both turned off, and the light-emitting control transistor T3 is turned on to form a driving current I=K(Vgs-Vth)2=K(Vdata+Vb-Vdd-Vth) 2 =K(Vdata+Vb-Vdd-Vth) 2= K(Vdata-Vdd) 2 , the light-emitting element D emits light, and the brightness is not affected by the threshold voltage Vth.

[0091] The proportion of the light-emitting time of the light-emitting element D within one frame can be adjusted by adjusting the proportion of the high potential of the third gate signal Em.

[0092] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 The “detection phase of the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1” in the circuit diagram shown in FIG. 1 may also include the first period t1 to the third period t3. Figure 1 The circuit diagram shown in FIG. 1 adds a first reset transistor T6 and a second reset transistor T5, but in the entire Figure 5 In the first period t1 to the third period t3, the fourth gate signal Sini is the corresponding low potential VGL, so that the first reset transistor T6 and the second reset transistor T5 are both turned off. Figure 4 The circuit diagram shown in the first period t1 to the third period t3 works as follows Figure 1The circuit diagram shown operates in the same manner from the first period t1 to the third period t3.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 In the circuit diagram shown, the “stage of detecting the potential Vg of the gate of the driving transistor T1” may include the following periods:

[0094] In the fourth period t4, the first gate signal Scan and the fourth gate signal Sini are at a high potential, the second gate signal En and the third gate signal Em are at a low potential, the data writing transistor T2, the first reset transistor T6 and the second reset transistor T5 are all turned on, the first switch element S1 is turned on and the second switch element S2 is turned off (not shown in the signal timing diagram), and Figure 1 The difference in the fourth period t4 of the circuit diagram is that, at this time, the second reset signal Vini_2 is transmitted to the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 to reset Vs and Vd, rather than the first reset signal Vini being used to reset Vd. The amplitudes of the first reset signal Vini, the second reset signal Vini_2, and the second voltage signal VSS during this period need to be properly set to prevent the light-emitting element D from emitting light.

[0095] The fifth time period t5 is different from the fourth time period t4 in that the voltage generating unit 102 generates the target data signal Data (equal to Vdata+Vth) and transmits it to the gate of the driving transistor T1. At this time, the second reset signal Vini_2 is still transmitted to the source and drain of the driving transistor T1 to reset Vs and Vd, so that the Vs and Vd of all pixel circuits 20 are reset to the same voltage value, eliminating the afterimage caused by the different gate-source voltages Vgs of the driving transistors T1 of all pixel circuits 20.

[0096] In the sixth period t6, the first gate signal Scan, the second gate signal En and the fourth gate signal Sini are all at low potential, the third gate signal Em is at high potential, the first switch element S1 and the second switch element S2 are both turned off. This process can be referred to Figure 1 The sixth time period t6 of the circuit diagram is shown.

[0097] Similarly, by adjusting the high potential ratio of the third gate signal Em, the luminous time ratio of the light-emitting element D within a frame can be adjusted. Meanwhile, the second gate signal En is at the corresponding low potential VGL from the fourth period t4 to the sixth period t6, that is, the compensation transistor T4 does not need to function.

[0098] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a driving method for a display device, which is applied to a display device, wherein the display device includes any one of the control circuits and the pixel circuit described above; Figure 7As shown, the driving method of the display device includes but is not limited to the following steps.

[0099] S1, in a first period, controls the data writing transistor to transmit the first reset signal generated by the voltage generating unit to the gate of the driving transistor, and controls the compensation transistor to transmit the first reset signal to one of the source and the drain of the driving transistor.

[0100] Combined with the above discussion, we can see that no matter what Figure 1 or Figure 4 In the circuit diagram shown, the first switch element S1 is turned on, the data writing transistor T2 and the compensation transistor T4 are turned on, and the first reset signal Vini generated by the voltage generating unit 102 is transmitted to the gate and one of the source and drain of the driving transistor T1. For details, please refer to the discussion of the first period t1 above.

[0101] S2, in a second time period after the first time period, controls the other of the source and the drain of the driving transistor to receive the first voltage signal transmitted by the first voltage line, and controls the driving transistor to be turned on under the action of the first reset signal, the first voltage signal and the turned-on compensation transistor, so that the potential of the gate of the driving transistor rises or falls until the driving transistor is cut off.

[0102] Combined with the above discussion, we can see that no matter what Figure 1 or Figure 4 In the circuit diagram shown, both the first switching element S1 and the second switching element S2 are turned off, the driving transistor T1 is turned on, and the first voltage signal Vdd is transmitted to the source, drain, and gate of the driving transistor T1. Vg rises or falls until Vg = Vd = Vdd + Vth, and the driving transistor T1 is turned off. For details, please refer to the discussion above regarding the second period t2.

[0103] S3, in a third period after the second period, controlling the detection unit to obtain the potential of the gate of the driving transistor through the data writing transistor, and controlling the control circuit to generate a compensation voltage signal according to the potential of the gate of the driving transistor.

[0104] Combined with the above discussion, we can see that no matter what Figure 1 or Figure 4 In the circuit diagram shown, the first switch element S1 is off and the second switch element S2 is on. The detection unit 101 detects Vg. Based on the equation Vg = Vdd + Vth when the driving transistor T1 is off, and given the known first voltage signal Vdd, the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor T1 can be calculated. For details, please refer to the discussion above regarding the third period t3.
