It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments.

[0058] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0059] In order to solve the above technical problem, according to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a pixel circuit is proposed. Figure 1 Schematic block diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1As shown, the pixel circuit may include: a signal writing subcircuit 110, a first driving subcircuit 120, a second driving subcircuit 130 and a third driving subcircuit 150, wherein the signal writing subcircuit 110 is electrically connected to the second driving subcircuit 130 via a first node N1, and the signal writing subcircuit 110 is used to receive a display signal Pixel data. A first end of the third driving subcircuit 150 is electrically connected to a fourth node N4, and a second end of the third driving subcircuit 150 is used to receive a first reference voltage signal PWM data. The first driving subcircuit 120 is electrically connected to the second driving subcircuit 130 via a second node N2. The first driving subcircuit 120 includes a dual-gate transistor M1, a first gate G of the dual-gate transistor M1 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, a second gate B of the dual-gate transistor M1 is used to receive a second reference voltage signal SWEEP, a first electrode S of the dual-gate transistor M1 is used to receive a first power supply signal ELVDD, and a second electrode D of the dual-gate transistor M1 is used to be electrically connected to a second node N2.

[0060] For example, see Figure 1 , the first gate of the dual-gate transistor M1 is a positive gate G, the second gate is a back gate B, the first electrode is a source S, and the second electrode is a drain D. It should be noted that, Figure 1 The arrangement of the electrodes of the dual-gate transistor M1 in the illustrated embodiment is merely exemplary and is not intended to be a specific limitation of the present disclosure. The first electrode may be one of the source and drain of the dual-gate transistor M1, and the second electrode may be the other of the source and drain of the dual-gate transistor M1; the first gate may be one of the positive gate and the back gate of the dual-gate transistor M1, and the second gate may be the other of the positive gate and the back gate of the dual-gate transistor M1. When the third driving subcircuit 150 is turned on, the first reference voltage signal PWM data may be written to the fourth node N4, that is, the first reference voltage signal PWM data may be written to the first gate G of the dual-gate transistor M1. Under the action of the first reference voltage signal PWM data and the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the dual-gate transistor M1 may be turned on, and the first power supply signal ELVDD may be written to the second node N2. Exemplarily, the display signal Pixel data may include a data signal, and the data signal may drive the pixel to emit light of corresponding intensity. When the signal writing subcircuit 110 is turned on, the data signal may be written to the first node N1. Exemplarily, the pixel circuit may further include a light emitting subcircuit, which may be electrically connected to the second driving subcircuit 130. The second driving subcircuit 130 may be turned on under the action of the data signal and the first power signal ELVDD, and supply power to the light emitting subcircuit.

[0061] See also Figure 1It should be noted that the magnitude relationship between the voltage difference between the first gate G and the first electrode S of the dual-gate transistor M1 and the threshold voltage determines whether the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on. Whether the first reference voltage signal PWM data can be written to the first gate G depends on whether the third driving sub-circuit 150 is turned on. According to the characteristics of the dual-gate transistor, the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor M1 is related to the voltage difference between the second gate B and the first electrode S. Therefore, by changing the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor M1 can be adjusted. Therefore, when the data signal is written to the first node and the second driving sub-circuit is turned on, it can be determined whether the light-emitting sub-circuit emits light and how long it emits light by controlling the turn-on time of the third driving sub-circuit and adjusting the second reference voltage signal.

[0062] The disclosed embodiment can utilize the dual-gate characteristics of the dual-gate transistor, and in the light-emitting stage of the light-emitting sub-circuit, by controlling the on and off time of the third driving sub-circuit, the dual-gate transistor can adjust the on and off time under the action of the second reference voltage signal when the first reference voltage signal is written, thereby realizing the control of the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit. In addition, the serious color shift problem of related electronic display products caused by too low current density can be effectively solved, the display effect optimization is improved, and the visual experience of consumers is improved.

[0063] For example, see Figure 1 After the data signal is written into the first node N1, and when the second driving subcircuit 130 is turned on, if the first driving subcircuit 120 is also in the on state, the light-emitting subcircuit electrically connected to the second driving subcircuit 130 can emit light under the action of the data signal and by the power supply of the first power signal ELVDD. Exemplarily, by controlling the on and off time of the first driving subcircuit 120, the light-emitting time of the light-emitting subcircuit can be controlled.

[0064] Figure 2 A timing diagram of a driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2, the dual-gate transistor M1 in the first driving sub-circuit 120 can be turned on under the joint action of the first reference voltage signal PWM data and the second reference voltage signal SWEEP. Among them, the first electrode of the dual-gate transistor M1 is used to receive the first power supply signal ELVDD, and the third driving sub-circuit 150 is in a conducting state. When ELVDD is constant, the first reference voltage signal PWM data can be input to the first gate of the dual-gate transistor M1. The difference between the first reference voltage signal PWM data and the first power supply signal ELVDD is the first voltage difference Vgs1. According to the working principle of the dual-gate transistor, when the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1, the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on. Exemplarily, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 can change with the change of the voltage difference between the first electrode and the second gate, wherein the voltage difference between the first electrode and the second gate is referred to as the second voltage difference. See. Figure 1 The second voltage difference may be a difference between the second reference voltage signal SWEEP and the first power signal ELVDD, expressed as Vbs.

[0065] Figure 3 A dynamic linear diagram of the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor according to the embodiment of the present disclosure as the second voltage difference changes. For example, when the first power signal ELVDD is fixed, see Figure 2 When the second reference voltage signal SWEEP decreases from the second reference value Vref2 to the first reference value Vref1 over time, the second voltage difference Vbs also decreases accordingly. Figure 3 , when the second voltage difference Vbs decreases, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 increases accordingly. Figure 2 When the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 increases to be greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1, that is, after reaching point a, the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on. That is, after point a, the light-emitting subcircuit can continue to emit light, while before point a, the light-emitting subcircuit remains off.

[0066] Therefore, under the action of the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal, the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit is controlled by controlling the on and off time of the dual-gate transistor.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , after the data signal Vdata is written into the first node N1 and the second driving sub-circuit 130 is turned on, the rate at which the second reference voltage signal SWEEP decreases over time is the first rate, that is, the ratio of the time required for the second reference voltage signal SWEEP to decrease from the second reference value Vref2 to the first reference value Vref1. Figure 2The slope of the second reference voltage signal SWEEP reflects the numerical value of the first rate. An increase in the absolute value of the slope indicates an increase in the first rate, and conversely, a decrease in the absolute value of the slope indicates a decrease in the first rate. Under the action of the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the second voltage difference Vbs also decreases at the first rate. The rate at which the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor increases over time is the second rate, that is, the ratio of the threshold voltage Vth1 from A to B to the time required. Figure 3 Since the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor is inversely correlated with the second voltage difference Vbs, the first rate is positively correlated with the second rate. For example, the second rate can be regulated by adjusting the value of the first rate. Figure 2 , by adjusting the slope of the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the slope of the threshold voltage Vth1 can be adjusted. After the slope of the threshold voltage Vth1 changes, the position of point a can be translated on the first voltage difference Vgs1. When point a moves to the left, the threshold voltage Vth1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1 at an earlier time, so the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit becomes longer. Conversely, when point a moves to the right, the threshold voltage Vth1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1 at a later time, so the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit becomes shorter.

[0068] Therefore, the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit can be indirectly controlled by adjusting the first rate, thereby achieving a PWM (Pulse width modulation) effect.

[0069] In some embodiments, within the same frame, the duration that the first voltage difference is greater than the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is a first duration, and the duration that the first voltage difference is less than the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is a second duration, and the second duration is greater than the first duration. Figure 2 The first duration can be represented by the length of Vgs1 before point a, and the second duration can be represented by the length of Vgs1 after point a. When the second duration is greater than the first duration, it can indicate that the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit is greater than the off time, thereby ensuring the effective light-emitting time and achieving improved display effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first reference voltage signal is used to control the first voltage difference to be constant. Exemplarily, the difference between the first reference voltage signal and the first power supply signal is the first voltage difference. Exemplarily, the first reference voltage signal can be regarded as a power supply signal. When the first reference voltage signal and the first power supply signal are both constant, the obtained first voltage difference is constant, that is, the first voltage difference is in a stable state. After the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is regulated by the above scheme, based on the comparison result of the first voltage difference and the threshold voltage, accurate control of whether the dual-gate transistor is turned on or not can be achieved, providing reliable guarantee for the subsequent regulation of the light-emitting time.

[0071] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, see Figure 4 , the second driving subcircuit 130 may include a third transistor M4 and a second capacitor C2. Among them, one end of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the gate of the third transistor M4, the other end of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the second node N2, the first electrode of the third transistor M4 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and the second electrode of the third transistor M4 is electrically connected to the third node N3. The fifth node N5 and the second node N2 are equivalent circuit points. The signal writing subcircuit 110 may include a fourth transistor M5. The fourth transistor M5 is used to turn on or off under the action of the first scan signal SCAN1. The pixel circuit may also include: a reset subcircuit 140, including a first transistor M2, the gate of the first transistor M2 is used to receive the third scan signal SCAN3, that is, the first transistor M2 is turned on or off under the action of the third scan signal SCAN3. The first electrode of the first transistor M2 is electrically connected to the second driving subcircuit 130 via the third node N3, and the second electrode of the first transistor M2 is used to receive the second power supply signal VSS. The third driving sub-circuit 150 may include a second transistor M3 and a first capacitor C1. The gate of the second transistor M3 is used to receive the second scan signal SCAN2, that is, the second transistor M3 is turned on or off under the action of the second scan signal SCAN2. The first electrode of the second transistor may be electrically connected to the second end of the third driving sub-circuit. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the first electrode of the second transistor M3 serves as the second terminal of the third driving sub-circuit 150, for receiving the first reference voltage signal PWM data. The second electrode of the second transistor can be electrically connected to the first terminal of the third driving sub-circuit. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the second electrode of the second transistor M3 serves as the first terminal of the third driving sub-circuit 150 and is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. Figure 4 , the second electrode of the second transistor M3 is electrically connected to the first gate of the dual-gate transistor M1 via the fourth node N4, one end of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded. Exemplarily, the first transistor M2 can be an N-type transistor, and the second transistor M3, the third transistor M4 and the fourth transistor M5 can be P-type. For an N-type transistor, it can be turned on when the driving signal of its gate is a high-level signal, that is, the effective level is a high level. For a P-type transistor, it can be turned on when the driving signal of its gate is a low-level signal, that is, the effective level is a low level. Exemplarily, the light-emitting sub-circuit electrically connected to the third node N3 can be Figure 4The OLED shown, the corresponding display panel is an active light emitting display panel. Exemplarily, the third node N3 can also be connected to a pixel electrode, and the display panel can be a liquid crystal display panel.

[0072] Figure 5 Another driving circuit timing diagram provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 The timing shown is Figure 4 The pixel circuit shown is driven, and the driving method is as follows:

[0073] For example, the driving sequence can be divided into Figure 5 The four stages shown are ① initialization stage, ② self-discharge stage, ③ data writing and threshold voltage compensation stage, and ④ light emitting stage. Figure 5 , in the initialization stage ①, the first scan signal SCAN1 and the second scan signal SCAN2 are at a low level, and the third scan signal SCAN3 is at a high level. At this time, the first transistor, the second transistor and the fourth transistor are turned on. When the fourth transistor is turned on, the display signal can be written to the first node N1. In the initialization stage, the display signal is the initial signal Vinit. After the signal writing subcircuit is turned on and the initial signal Vinit is written to the first node N1, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP is a low level signal, SWEEP = Vref1. When the second transistor is turned on, the first reference voltage signal PWM data is written to the fourth node, PWM data = Vref3, and the first capacitor C1 can store Vref3, so that when the second transistor is turned off, the voltage of the fourth node, i.e., the first gate of the dual-gate transistor, can be stabilized at a certain value. In this case, it can be determined that the signal waveform of the second voltage difference Vbs is substantially the same as the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, and then according to the inverse relationship between the second voltage difference Vbs and the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor, it can be determined Figure 5 The waveform of Vth1 in the initialization stage. At this time, Vth1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1, and the dual-gate transistor is turned on. Figure 4 , after the dual-gate transistor is turned on, the voltages of the second node N2 and the fifth node N5 are both equal to the first power signal ELVDD. When the fourth transistor is turned on, the gate voltage of the third transistor is equal to the written initial signal Vinit, and the gate-source voltage difference Vgs2 of the third transistor is less than the threshold voltage Vth2, so the third transistor is turned on. Figure 4 When the first transistor is turned on, the voltage of the third node N3 = the anode voltage of the OLED = the second power signal VSS, the cathode voltage of the OLED = ELVSS, ELVSS is greater than or equal to VSS, so the OLED is in an off state.

[0074] See also Figure 5In the self-discharge stage ②, the states of the first scan signal SCAN1 and the second scan signal SCAN2 change from low level to high level, and the second transistor and the fourth transistor are turned off. At this time, at the effective level end point of the first scan signal SCAN1 and the second scan signal SCAN2, that is, at the moment of changing from low level to high level, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP changes from the low level signal Vref1 to the high level signal Vref2, the second voltage difference Vbs increases, and the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor decreases. Vth1<the first voltage difference Vgs1, and the dual-gate transistor is turned off. The third scan signal SCAN3 maintains a high level signal unchanged, so the first transistor is still in the on state, and the OLED is still in the off state. See Figure 4 , since the second capacitor has the function of storing energy for the initial signal, the gate of the third transistor still maintains the initial signal Vinit. Similarly, the capacitor C3 can also store energy for the first power supply signal, so that the fifth node and the second node are both maintained at ELVDD. The gate-source voltage difference Vgs2 of the third transistor is less than the threshold voltage Vth2, and the third transistor remains on. However, with the effect of the substrate bias effect, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs2 of the third transistor will gradually reach the threshold voltage Vth2, causing the third transistor to switch from the on state to the off state.

[0075] See also Figure 5 , in the data writing and threshold voltage compensation stage ③, the state of the first scan signal SCAN1 changes again, from a high level to a low level, the fourth transistor is turned on, and the display signal can be written to the first node N1, and the display signal is the data signal Vdata at this time. Exemplarily, before the fourth transistor is turned on to write the data signal Vdata to the first node, the initial signal Vinit can be converted into the data signal Vdata. The data signal prepared in advance is written at the first time when the state of the first scan signal SCAN1 changes again, ensuring the timely writing of the data signal and improving the display efficiency. For multiple pixel circuits, there are differences in the threshold voltage of the third transistor, which may cause the luminous brightness of the luminous sub-circuit in each pixel circuit to be different. Since the second capacitor has an energy storage function, the threshold voltage of the corresponding third transistor can be compensated by the second capacitor in each pixel circuit to make up for the difference in luminous brightness and ensure the display effect. After the data signal Vdata is written to the first node N1, the effective level end point of the first scan signal SCAN1 is before the effective level end point of the third scan signal SCAN3. That is, the first scan signal SCAN1 changes state again in the third stage, from low level to high level, while the state of the third scan signal SCAN3 remains unchanged. At this time, the first transistor is still in the on state, so that the OLED is still in the off state.

[0076] See also Figure 5, in the ④ light-emitting stage, the first scan signal SCAN1 remains at a high level, and the fourth transistor remains off. However, according to the aforementioned stage ③, the data signal Vdata has been written to the first node N1 and is maintained by the second capacitor C2. The state of the third scan signal SCAN3 changes from a high level to a low level, and the first transistor is turned off. At this time, the gate-source voltage difference of the third transistor is less than its own threshold voltage, the third transistor is turned on, and is in the saturation region of the output characteristic curve, and the driving current is constant. The first gate voltage of the dual-gate transistor is equal to the fourth node voltage, that is, the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor remains unchanged. At this time, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP decreases from the high-level signal Vref2 to the low-level signal Vref1 at a first rate over time, which is equivalent to the second gate voltage of the dual-gate transistor decreasing from Vref2 to Vref1, and the second voltage difference Vbs gradually decreases. According to the threshold dynamic characteristics of the dual-gate transistor described above, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor gradually increases. Therefore, in the fourth light-emitting stage, when the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor is greater than the threshold voltage Vth1, the dual-gate transistor is cut off and the OLED is in an extinguished state (emission off). When the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor is less than the threshold voltage Vth1, the dual-gate transistor is turned on and the OLED is in an emitting state (emission on). In the light-emitting stage, by changing the value of the first rate, that is, changing the slope of the second reference voltage SWEEP, the slope of the threshold voltage Vth1 can be changed, and the effective light-emitting time of the OLED can be indirectly controlled to achieve the effect of PWM modulation.

[0077] According to the second aspect of the present disclosure, a display panel is also provided. The display panel may include a plurality of pixel circuits as described above. Exemplarily, the light emitting subcircuit electrically connected to the third node N3 may be Figure 4 The OLED shown, the corresponding display panel is an active light emitting display panel. Exemplarily, the third node N3 can also be connected to a pixel electrode, and the display panel can be a liquid crystal display panel.

[0078] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a method for driving a pixel circuit is also proposed, which is used to drive the pixel circuit as described above. Figure 6 A schematic flow chart of a driving method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 , the method may include the following steps:

[0079] Step S610 , the control signal writing sub-circuit is turned on to write a data signal to the first node.

[0080] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5When the first scan signal SCAN1 is at a low level, the signal writing sub-circuit 110 is turned on. When the signal writing sub-circuit 110 is turned on, the data signal Vdata can be written to the first node N1.

[0081] Step S620, controlling the second driving sub-circuit and the third driving sub-circuit to be turned on.

[0082] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when the signal writing subcircuit 110 is turned on, the gate voltage of the third transistor M4 of the second driving subcircuit 130 is equal to the written data signal Vdata, the gate-source voltage difference of the third transistor M4 is less than its own threshold voltage, the third transistor M4 is turned on, and is in the saturation region of the output characteristic curve, the driving current is constant, that is, the second driving subcircuit 130 is turned on. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The gate of the second transistor M3 of the third driving sub-circuit 150 is used to receive the second scanning signal SCAN2. In the light-emitting stage, the second scanning signal SCAN2 is at a high level, the second transistor M3 is turned on, that is, the third driving sub-circuit 150 is turned on.

[0083] Step S630 , controlling the on-time of the dual-gate transistor based on the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal.

[0084] Exemplarily, when the third driving subcircuit is turned on, a first reference voltage signal can be written to the first gate of the dual-gate transistor. The magnitude relationship between the voltage difference between the first gate and the first electrode of the dual-gate transistor and the threshold voltage determines whether the dual-gate transistor can be turned on. According to the characteristics of the dual-gate transistor, the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is related to the voltage difference between the second gate and the first electrode. Therefore, by changing the second reference voltage signal, the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor can be adjusted, and then the turn-on time of the dual-gate transistor can be controlled.

[0085] In some implementations, controlling the on-time of the dual-gate transistor based on the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal includes:

[0086] Based on the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal, the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is controlled to increase over time, and the dual-gate transistor is turned on when the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor is greater than a first voltage difference, wherein the first voltage difference is the voltage difference between the first electrode and the first gate of the dual-gate transistor.

[0087] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5, the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on under the combined action of the first reference voltage signal PWM data and the second reference voltage signal SWEEP. Among them, the first electrode of the dual-gate transistor M1 is used to receive the first power supply signal ELVDD, and the first reference voltage signal PWM data can be input to the first gate of the dual-gate transistor M1. According to the working principle of the dual-gate transistor M1, when the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1 between the first reference voltage signal PWM data and the first power supply signal ELVDD, the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on. Exemplarily, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 can change with the change of the second voltage difference Vbs between the first electrode and the second gate. When the second reference voltage signal SWEEP changes with time from the high-level signal Vref2 to the low-level signal Vref1, the second voltage difference Vbs also decreases accordingly. When the second voltage difference Vbs decreases, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 increases accordingly. When the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 increases to be greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1, the dual-gate transistor M1 can be turned on.

[0088] In some embodiments, a rate at which the second reference voltage signal decreases over time is a first rate, a rate at which the threshold voltage of the dual-gate transistor increases over time is a second rate, and the first rate is positively correlated with the second rate.

[0089] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , after the data signal Vdata is written into the first node N1 and the second driving sub-circuit 130 is turned on, the rate at which the second reference voltage signal SWEEP decreases over time is the first rate, that is, the ratio of the time required for the second reference voltage signal SWEEP to decrease from the high level signal Vref2 to the low level signal Vref1. Under the action of the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the second voltage difference Vbs also decreases at the first rate. The rate at which the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor increases over time is the second rate. Since the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 is inversely correlated with the second voltage difference Vbs, the first rate is positively correlated with the second rate.

[0090] In some implementations, the method further includes: adjusting a numerical value of the first rate to control a ratio of an on-time to an off-time of the first driving subcircuit.

[0091] For example, see Figure 5, the second rate can be regulated by adjusting the value of the first rate. By adjusting the slope of the second reference voltage signal SWEEP, the slope of the threshold voltage Vth1 can be adjusted, so that the threshold voltage Vth1 is greater than the first voltage difference Vgs1 at an earlier or later time, so that the conduction time of the first driving sub-circuit 120 becomes longer or shorter, and the light-emitting time of the light-emitting sub-circuit is regulated.

[0092] In some embodiments, the display signal further includes an initial signal, and after the signal writing subcircuit is turned on and the initial signal is written to the first node, the second reference voltage signal is a low level signal. At the effective level end point of the first scanning signal and the second scanning signal, the second reference voltage signal is transformed from a low level signal to a high level signal; after the data signal is written to the first node and the second driving subcircuit is turned on, the second reference voltage signal decreases from a high level signal to a low level signal at a first rate over time.

[0093] For example, see Figure 5 , the first scan signal SCAN1 and the second scan signal SCAN2 are at a low level, and the third scan signal SCAN3 is at a high level. At this time, the first transistor M2, the second transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M5 are turned on. When the fourth transistor M5 is turned on, a display signal can be written to the first node N1. In the initialization stage, the display signal is the initial signal Vinit. After the signal writing subcircuit 110 is turned on and the initial signal Vinit is written into the first node N1, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP is a low level signal Vref1.

[0094] See also Figure 5 , the states of the first scanning signal SCAN1 and the second scanning signal SCAN2 change from low level to high level, and the second transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M5 are turned off. At this time, at the effective level end point of the first scanning signal SCAN1 and the second scanning signal SCAN2, that is, at the moment of changing from low level to high level, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP is changed from the low level signal Vref1 to the high level signal Vref2, the second voltage difference Vbs increases, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 decreases, the threshold voltage Vth1<the first voltage difference Vgs1, and the dual-gate transistor M1 is turned off.

[0095] See also Figure 5, the state of the first scan signal SCAN1 changes again, from a high level to a low level, the fourth transistor M5 is turned on, and a display signal can be written to the first node N1, and the display signal is the data signal Vdata at this time. Exemplarily, before the fourth transistor M5 is turned on to write the data signal Vdata to the first node N1, the initial signal Vinit can be converted into the data signal Vdata. The data signal Vdata prepared in advance is written at the first time when the state of the first scan signal SCAN1 changes again. After the data signal Vdata is written to the first node N1, the effective level end point of the first scan signal SCAN1 is before the effective level end point of the third scan signal SCAN3. That is, the first scan signal SCAN1 changes its state again at this stage, from a low level to a high level, while the state of the third scan signal SCAN3 remains unchanged, and the first transistor M2 is still in the on state at this time.

[0096] See also Figure 5 , the state of the third scan signal SCAN3 changes from a high level to a low level, and the first transistor M2 is turned off. At this time, the gate-source voltage difference Vgs2 of the third transistor M4 is less than its own threshold voltage Vth2, the third transistor M4 is turned on, and is in the saturation region of the output characteristic curve, and the driving current is constant. The first gate voltage of the dual-gate transistor M1 is equal to the fourth node voltage, that is, the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 remains unchanged. At this time, the second reference voltage signal SWEEP decreases from the high-level signal Vref2 to the low-level signal Vref1 at the first rate over time, and the second voltage difference Vbs gradually decreases. According to the threshold dynamic characteristics of the dual-gate transistor M1 described above, the threshold voltage Vth1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 gradually increases. When the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 is greater than the threshold voltage Vth1, the dual-gate transistor M1 is turned off. When the first voltage difference Vgs1 of the dual-gate transistor M1 is less than the threshold voltage Vth1, the dual-gate transistor M1 is turned on.
