The connection methods and types of the above transistors are similar to Figures 4 to 10 The embodiment shown is the same as that shown in the figure, and no further description will be given here. Of course, in some optional embodiments, the pixel circuit can be Figures 4 to 10 Combinations of the embodiments shown, for example, the pixel circuit may be configured Figure 5The ninth transistor T9 and the fifteenth transistor T15 are shown Fig.10 The fourteenth transistor T14 shown may also be set Figure 6 The tenth transistor T10 and Figure 7 The eleventh transistor T11 is shown and so on.

[0108] like Fig.12 As shown, Fig.12 In one embodiment Figure 4 The timing diagram of the circuit diagram shown. The driving period of a frame includes an initialization period S1, a compensation period S2, a data writing period S3 and a light emitting period S4. The data writing sub-circuit 10 is configured such that when the display panel is in the high refresh mode, in the S3 stage, the high refresh scan signal terminal SC-HR controls the first transistor T1 to be turned on; when the display panel is in the low refresh mode, in the S3 stage, the high refresh scan signal terminal SC-HR controls the first transistor to be turned off.

The seventh transistor T7 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on. The first reset signal vinit1 resets the first node N1 and the second node N2, and the second reset signal vinit2 resets the fifth node N5.

The fourth transistor T4, the sixth transistor T6, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned into a conductive state. The first power signal vdd starts to charge the second node N2 until the second node N2 is charged to a potential of ELVDD+Vth, where ELVDD is the potential of the first power signal vdd, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3.

[0111] like Fig.12As shown, in the S3 period, the first scanning signal sc1 is changed to a low potential, the second scanning signal sc2 is changed to a low potential, the third scanning signal sc3 is changed to a high potential, and the first light-emitting control signal em1 is changed to a high potential.

The data signal data is written into the first node N1 and written into the second node N2 through the first capacitor C1, and the potential of the second node N2 is changed to Vdata+ELVDD+Vth. In this way, when the third transistor T3 is driven, it can offset the influence of the ELVDD voltage drop and the influence of Vth.

[0112] like Fig.12 As shown, in the S4 period, the first scanning signal sc1 is changed to a high potential, the first light-emitting control signal em1 is changed to a low potential, and the second light-emitting control signal em2 is changed to a low potential.

The third transistor T3 is turned on under the control of the potential of the second node N2, and the first power supply signal vdd is connected to the light-emitting unit 90 through the sixth transistor T6, the third transistor T3 and the fifth transistor T5 to drive the light-emitting unit 90 to emit light.

[0113] Afterwards, the pixel circuit repeats the above driving sequence to control the light-emitting unit 90 to emit light.

[0114] For pixel circuits in other embodiments of the present application, the light-emitting unit 90 may also be driven to emit light according to the above-mentioned timing logic. Fig.11 The pixel circuit shown in FIG. 1 can also be operated according to the method described in detail, because the added transistor and the driving end do not affect the conduction of the original circuit. Fig.12 The driving is realized by referring to the timing diagram shown in the figure.

The pre-charging sub-circuit 80 is configured to pre-charge the line between the data signal terminal DATA and the data writing sub-circuit 10.

[0116] like Fig.14As shown, the pre-charge sub-circuit 80 further includes a seventeenth transistor T17. The first electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the pre-charge signal terminal VRE-CHARGE, the second electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the data signal terminal DATA and the wire between the data writing sub-circuit 10, and the control electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1 or the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2. The seventeenth transistor T17 can be a metal oxide thin film transistor, specifically, the seventeenth transistor T17 can be an IGZO transistor. According to Fig.12 As can be seen from the timing sequence shown, the seventeenth transistor T17 is turned on before the S3 period, ie, the data writing period, so that the precharge signal terminal VRE-CHARGE precharges the wire between the data signal terminal DATA and the data writing sub-circuit 10 .

[0117] like Fig.14 As shown, optionally, the pre-charge sub-circuit 80 also includes a sixteenth transistor T16. The first electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is connected to the second electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17, the second electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is connected to the wire between the data signal terminal DATA and the data writing sub-circuit 10, and the control electrode of the sixteenth transistor T16 is connected to the control signal terminal CONTRIL. The control signal terminal CONTRIL is configured to control the sixteenth transistor T16 to be turned on when the pixel is in the high refresh mode, and to control the sixteenth transistor T16 to be turned off when the pixel is in the low refresh mode. In this way, the writing ability of the data signal data can be improved when the pixel is in the high refresh mode, and power consumption can be saved when the pixel is in the low refresh mode. The sixteenth transistor T16 is a low-temperature polysilicon transistor, and because the seventeenth transistor T17 is a metal oxide thin film transistor, the leakage current of the pre-charge signal terminal VRE-CHARGE can be effectively prevented from affecting the wire between the data signal terminal DATA and the data writing sub-circuit 10.

[0120] like Fig.15As shown, when the pre-charging sub-circuit 80 includes the seventeenth transistor T17, in the pixel driving circuit, the control electrode of the seventeenth transistor T17 is connected to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-N or the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2-N of the upper n-row pixel driving circuit, where n is an integer greater than 0. In this way, when the light-emitting control signal provided to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1-N or the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2-N of the upper n-row pixel driving circuit is at a high potential, the seventeenth transistor T17 is turned on, which can effectively ensure that the pre-charging signal terminal VRE-CHARGE pre-charges the wire between the data signal terminal DATA and the data writing sub-circuit 10 before the pixel circuit writes data.
