[0045] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0046] Figure 1A FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a pixel circuit in the related art.

[0047] like Figure 1A As shown, taking the 7T1C pixel circuit as an example, the pixel circuit 10 of the related art includes 7 transistors and 1 storage capacitor C st , wherein the seven transistors include a driving transistor T1, a first reset transistor T2, a second reset transistor T3, a data writing transistor T4, a threshold compensation transistor T5, a first light emitting control transistor T6 and a second light emitting control transistor T7, and the pixel circuit 10 also includes an organic light emitting diode (OLED) D1, wherein the control electrode of the driving transistor T1 and the second electrode of the first reset transistor T2 are connected to the first node N1, and the first electrode of the first reset transistor T2 and the first electrode of the second reset transistor T3 are connected to the second node N2.

[0048] The inventor discovered during the implementation of this application: Figure 2 , taking the case where all transistors in the pixel circuit 10 are P-type transistors, when the backlight side of the display panel 30 is provided with an under-screen light source 20, when the driving transistor T1 on the pixel circuit 10 is in the potential holding stage, the first reset transistor T2 is in the cut-off state. If the pixel circuit 10 is irradiated by the under-screen light source 20, the first reset transistor T2 will generate a large photocurrent I DS, which may easily cause the potential of the control electrode (i.e., the first node N1) of the driving transistor T1 to change. For example, the potential of the control electrode of the driving transistor T1 may be pulled down, so that the driving transistor T1 enters the linear region. Then, when the driving transistor T1 drives the organic light emitting diode D1 to emit light, the driving current I generated by the driving transistor T1 may surge, and the organic light emitting diode D1 may flash in response to the driving current I, thereby causing the display panel 30 to flicker, thereby reducing the display quality.

[0049] The process by which the inventor discovered the above-mentioned problems in the related technology includes: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, taking the under-screen light source 20 as an infrared (IR) light source as an example, Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of the luminous intensity of the light source 20 under the screen. Figure 3 The horizontal axis represents time, Figure 3 The ordinate represents the luminous intensity of the screen light source 20, from Figure 3 It can be seen that the under-screen light source 20 usually periodically emits light toward the display panel 30, and the distribution diagram of the luminous intensity of the under-screen light source 20 is similar to a pulse waveform; Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the ID-VG measurement curve of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor (LTPS TFT) under different IR light powers, where the horizontal axis represents the gate-source voltage V of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor under different IR light powers GS The vertical axis represents the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor under different IR light powers. D , taking the low temperature polysilicon thin film transistor as a P-type thin film transistor as an example, from Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that when V GS >0, the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor is in the cut-off state, and its leakage current I D The generation frequency responds to the light emission frequency of the light source 20 under the screen; and, combined with the following Table 1, it can be seen that when the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor is in the off state, if the IR light power of the light source 20 under the screen is 0W, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor D =1.18×10 -12 A; If the IR light power of the light source 20 under the screen is 2.25W, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor D =9.60×10 -11 A; If the IR light power of the light source 20 under the screen is 2.85W, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor D =1.53×10 -10 A; If the IR light power of the light source 20 under the screen is 3.46W, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistorD =9.42×10 -11 A; If the IR light power of the light source 20 under the screen is 4.05W, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor D =8.62×10 -11 A; It can be seen that when the light source 20 under the screen does not illuminate the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor, its leakage current I D About 1×10 -12 A, and when the light source 20 under the screen illuminates the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor, its leakage current I D About 1×10 -10 A, the leakage current I of the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor under the illumination of the light source 20 under the screen D It is obvious that the leakage current I generated by the low-temperature polysilicon thin film transistor under the irradiation of the under-screen light source 20 is D Basically the photocurrent I DS In the related art, the control electrode potential of the driving transistor T1 is analyzed and it is known that the control electrode potential of the driving transistor T1 follows the photocurrent I generated by the driving transistor T1 DS Therefore, it can be determined that the screen flickering of the display panel 30 is caused by the first reset transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 10 generating a large photocurrent I under the illumination of the under-screen light source 20. DS cause.

[0052] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a pixel circuit and a display device, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems of the related art. The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Figure 5 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the pixel circuit 10 includes a driving module 101, a light emitting module 102, a first reset module 103 and a current compensation module 110. The driving module 101 is used to drive the light emitting module 102 to emit light according to the potential of its control terminal. The output end of the first reset module 103 and the output end of the current compensation module 110 are both connected to the control end of the driving module 101, so that the current compensation module 110 compensates for the potential of the control end of the driving module 101 pulled down by the first reset module 103 when the control end of the driving module 101 is in the potential holding stage.

[0055] Exemplarily, when the control end of the driving module 101 is in the potential holding stage, the first reset module 103 generates a first current I flowing from the output end of the first reset module 103 to the input end. DS1 , thereby lowering the potential of the control terminal of the driving module 101; at the same time, the current compensation module 110 generates a second current I flowing from the input terminal of the current compensation module 110 to the output terminal DS2 , the second current I DS2 is the first current I generated by the first reset module 103 DS1 The reverse current can be obtained by DS1 The current compensation is performed to compensate for the potential of the control terminal of the driving module 101 pulled down by the first reset module 103, thereby maintaining the stability of the potential of the control terminal of the driving module 101. DS1 It can be the first photocurrent generated by the first reset module 103 under the illumination of the under-screen light source 20, and the second current I DS2 It may be the second photocurrent generated by the current compensation module 110 under the illumination of the under-screen light source 20 .

[0056] Specifically, the driving module 101 includes a driving transistor T1, a first electrode of the driving transistor T1 constitutes a first end of the driving module 101, a second electrode of the driving transistor T1 constitutes a second end of the driving module 101, a control electrode of the driving transistor T1 constitutes a control end of the driving module 101, and the first electrode of the driving transistor T1 is connected to a first end of the light emitting module 102. Since the light emitting module 102 is a current type device, it needs to emit light in response to a driving current I generated by the driving transistor T1, and the magnitude of the driving current I generated by the driving transistor T1 is determined by the potential of the control end of the driving transistor T1. Therefore, by maintaining the stability of the potential of the control end of the driving transistor T1, the driving transistor T1 can be made to work in a saturation region and avoid the driving transistor T1 from entering a linear region, thereby ensuring that the fluctuation amplitude of the driving current I generated by the driving transistor T1 is small, and thus the light emitting module 102 emits light with a relatively stable brightness in response to the driving current I.

[0057] The above scheme, by setting the current compensation module 110 at the control end of the driving module 101, and electrically connecting the output end of the first reset module 103 and the output end of the current compensation module 110 to the control end of the driving module 101, can make the output end of the first reset module 103, the output end of the current compensation module 110 and the control end of the driving module 101 have the same potential. In this way, when the control end of the driving module 101 is in the potential holding stage, the current compensation module 110 can compensate for the control end potential of the driving module 101 pulled down by the first reset module 103, so as to stabilize the control end potential of the driving module 101 and avoid the driving current I of the light-emitting module 102 from surging and flashing due to the change of the control end potential of the driving module 101, thereby effectively improving the screen flickering degree of the display panel 30 and improving the display quality.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the potential holding stage includes a light-emitting stage, the driving module 101 is used to drive the light-emitting module 102 to emit light during the light-emitting stage, and the current compensation module 110 is used to perform potential compensation on the control end of the driving module 101 during the light-emitting stage. In practical applications, the potential of the control end of the driving module 101 is directly proportional to the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting module 102, and the time of the light-emitting stage accounts for 90% of the total time of all working stages of the pixel circuit 10. Therefore, by setting the current compensation module 110 to perform potential compensation on the control end of the driving module 101 during the light-emitting stage, it can be ensured that the potential of the control end of the driving module 101 remains stable during the light-emitting stage, thereby driving the light-emitting module 102 to emit light with relatively stable brightness during the light-emitting stage, thereby improving the screen flicker of the display panel 30 and improving the display quality.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the input end of the current compensation module 110 is connected to the control end of the current compensation module 110, so that the current compensation module 110 is in a cut-off state.

[0060] Exemplarily, taking the current compensation module 110 including the current compensation transistor T8, and the current compensation transistor T8 being a P-type transistor as an example, the second electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the input end of the current compensation module 110, the first electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the output end of the current compensation module 110, and the control electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the control end of the current compensation module 110. By connecting the second electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 to the control electrode, the current compensation transistor T8 can be made to form a reverse bias connection structure, so that the voltage V between the control electrode and the second electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 GS =0V, and due to the threshold voltage V this less than 0, so the voltage V between the control electrode and the second electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 can be GS >V th , ensuring that the current compensation transistor T8 is in the cut-off state. Based on this, the current compensation module 110 can be used only to generate the second current I DS2 And cannot be conducted.

[0061] In another optional embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the control end of the current compensation module 110 is used to access the cut-off signal VGH, so that the current compensation module 110 is in a cut-off state.

[0062] As an example, continuing to take the current compensation module 110 including the current compensation transistor T8, and the current compensation transistor T8 is a P-type transistor, the second electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the input end of the current compensation module 110, the first electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the output end of the current compensation module 110, and the control electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 constitutes the control end of the current compensation module 110. The control electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 can receive the cut-off signal VGH in all working stages of the pixel circuit 10, so that the current compensation transistor T8 is cut off in response to the cut-off signal VGH in all working stages of the pixel circuit 10, thereby ensuring that the current compensation module 110 can only be used to generate the second current I DS2 Instead, the current compensation module 110 cannot be turned on, thereby preventing data from being written to the control terminal of the driving module 101 .

[0063] Preferably, the cutoff signal VGH connected to the control electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 is high level. It should be noted that the current compensation transistor T8 can also use an N-type transistor according to actual needs. When the current compensation transistor T8 uses an N-type transistor, the cutoff signal connected to the control electrode of the current compensation transistor T8 is low level.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the input end of the current compensation module 110 is connected to the data signal line V data Electrically connected to receive a data voltage during a data writing phase.

[0065] The inventors also found in the process of implementing this application: Figure 1A and Figure 1B , at different gray scales, the potential of the control electrode of the driving transistor T1 is higher than the potential of the first electrode of the first reset transistor T2, that is, the potential V N1 higher than the potential V of the second node N2 N2 , data voltage V ′ datais higher than the control electrode potential of the driving transistor T1, and the control electrode potential of the driving transistor T1 (that is, the potential V N1 ) varies with the data voltage V ′ data increases and increases with the data voltage V ′ data becomes smaller and smaller, making the data voltage V ′ data The magnitude of the current compensation module 110 is related to the potential of the input terminal (ie, the potential V N3 )Demand is close.

[0066] In the above solution, by setting the input end of the current compensation module 110 and the data signal line V data Electrically connected to receive the data voltage V during the data writing phase ′ data , the data voltage V required by the pixel circuit 10 itself can be used ′ data To maintain the input potential of the current compensation module 110, there is no need to design a voltage signal auxiliary circuit for the input of the current compensation module 110 or use a chip to provide a special voltage signal to the input of the current compensation module 110, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the pixel circuit 10; and the input of the current compensation module 110 receives the data voltage V ′ data The magnitude of the potential at the input terminal of the current compensation module 110 can also be changed as the grayscale changes, so that the second photocurrent I generated by the current compensation module 110 is DS2 It can adapt to different grayscales and has better current compensation effect.
