In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

The control terminal of any transistor mentioned is the gate of the transistor, the first terminal of any transistor is one of the source and drain of the transistor, and the second terminal of any transistor is the other of the source and drain of the transistor.

[0069] When the driving transistor in the pixel circuit of the OLED screen is affected by bias for a long time, the threshold voltage Vth of the transistor will drift. With different bias voltages, the Vth offset will be different, and the afterimage is caused by this reason.

[0070] In the related art, the driving transistor in the pixel circuit is usually reset to pull the offset Vth back to the same level as much as possible to reduce the afterimage phenomenon. However, it is found in practice that the existing reset method is not very effective in reducing the afterimage phenomenon. In response to this problem, further research has found that in the existing reset method, when resetting the driving transistor in the pixel circuit, only the gate and drain of the driving transistor are usually reset, or the gate and source are reset. That is to say, there is voltage on only one side of the source or drain of the driving transistor, and when the driving transistor is reset, it is in the on state. There will be charge movement between the source or drain of the driving transistor until it is balanced (Vgs=Vth), so the voltage difference (ie Vds) of the source or drain of the driving transistor will gradually decrease, and the current passing through the driving transistor will also gradually decrease. However, it has been found that the current passing through the driving transistor can reset the carrier distribution in the channel of the driving transistor and the recovery of the defect state, and the current passing through the driving transistor gradually decreases, which will cause the reset effect of the driving transistor to gradually deteriorate, or the reset effect is limited.

[0071] Based on the problem found, the present invention provides the following technical means:

[0072] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a pixel circuit of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pixel circuit includes a driving subcircuit 11, a first light-emitting control subcircuit 12, a second light-emitting control subcircuit 13, a data writing subcircuit 14, a compensation subcircuit 15 and a first reset subcircuit 16.

[0073] The first light-emitting control subcircuit 12 is coupled to the first voltage terminal V1 and the first terminal of the driving subcircuit 11, and is configured to drive the light-emitting element D to emit light in response to the signal EM1 of the first light-emitting signal control terminal; wherein the first light-emitting control subcircuit 12 is the fifth transistor T5.

[0074] The second light-emitting control subcircuit 13 is coupled to the second end of the driving subcircuit 11 and the first electrode of the light-emitting element D, and is configured to drive the light-emitting element D to emit light in response to the signal EM2 of the second light-emitting signal control end; wherein the second light-emitting control subcircuit 13 is the sixth transistor T6.

[0075] The data writing sub-circuit 14 is coupled to the data signal terminal D and the first terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11, and is configured to write the data signal Date of the data signal terminal D into the first terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11 in response to the signal Gate of the write signal control terminal; wherein the data writing sub-circuit 14 is a fourth transistor T4.

[0076] The compensation subcircuit 15 is coupled to the second end of the driving subcircuit 11 and the control end of the driving subcircuit 11, and is configured to perform threshold compensation on the driving subcircuit 11 in response to a signal Reset3 at the compensation signal control end; wherein the compensation subcircuit 15 is a second transistor T2.

[0077] The first reset subcircuit 16 is coupled to the compensation subcircuit 15 and the second voltage terminal V2, and is configured to, in a first reset stage t1, respond to a signal at the first reset signal control terminal and use the voltage of the second voltage terminal V2 to reset the control terminal of the driving subcircuit 11, and, in a second reset stage t2, respond to a signal at the first reset signal control terminal and use the voltage of the second voltage terminal V2 to reset the second terminal of the driving subcircuit 11, so that there is a fixed voltage difference between the first terminal of the driving subcircuit 11 and the second terminal of the driving subcircuit 11. In this way, when resetting the driving subcircuit 11, the driving subcircuit 11 has a stable current that does not gradually decrease over time, and can better reset the carrier distribution in the channel of the driving transistor and the recovery of the defect state, thereby improving the reset effect, and the reset degree can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage difference between the first terminal of the driving subcircuit 11 and the second terminal of the driving subcircuit 11, and the controllability is also higher. Among them, Figure 1 It is described by taking the example that the first reset sub-circuit 16 includes the first sub-reset circuit 161 , the second voltage terminal V2 includes the first sub-voltage terminal V21 , and the first sub-reset circuit 161 is the first transistor T1 .

[0078] Specifically, Figure 1 A low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) circuit is used as an example for description, and each transistor is described as a P-type transistor. Figure 1In the description, an example is taken in which the first light emitting signal control terminal and the second light emitting signal control terminal are connected to different signal lines, that is, the signal of the first light emitting signal control terminal is EM1, and the signal of the second light emitting signal control terminal is EM2. Figure 1 The first light emitting control subcircuit 12 in the embodiment is further configured to write the voltage Vdd of the first voltage terminal V1 into the first terminal of the driving subcircuit 11 in response to the signal EM1 of the first light emitting signal control terminal in the first reset stage t1 and / or the second reset stage t2, that is, Figure 1 In this way, the first end of the driving sub-circuit 11 can be reset, that is, the voltage of the node N2 is Vdd. In the subsequent resetting process, a fixed voltage difference can exist between the first end of the driving sub-circuit 11 and the second end of the driving sub-circuit 11.

[0079] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The timing control diagram of the pixel circuit. Figure 2 As shown, the driving process of the pixel circuit may include a first reset phase t1, a second reset phase t2, a data writing compensation phase t3 and a light emitting phase t4. The pixel circuit driving method may include the following steps:

[0080] Step 100, in the first reset stage t1, in response to the signal of the second light-emitting signal control terminal, the second light-emitting control subcircuit 13 is controlled to be disconnected, and in response to the signal of the first reset signal control terminal, the control terminal of the driving subcircuit 11 in the pixel circuit is reset using the voltage of the second voltage terminal V2.

[0081] for Figure 2 For the pixel circuit shown, in the first reset stage t1, the level of the signal EM2 at the second light-emitting signal control terminal is the first level (such as a high level), which can control the sixth transistor T6 to be disconnected, and the light-emitting element D does not emit light, and the signal of the first reset signal control terminal is the signal Reset1 at the first sub-reset circuit control terminal, and the level of the signal Reset1 at the first sub-reset circuit control terminal is the second level (such as a low level), the first sub-reset circuit 161 is closed, and the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 is written into the node N1 corresponding to the driving end of the third transistor T3, thereby resetting the driving end of the third transistor T3 and preparing for the subsequent resetting of the other ends of the third transistor T3.

[0082] It should be noted that according to Figure 2 It can be seen from the timing shown that in the first reset stage t1, the fifth transistor T5 is in a closed state, and the voltage Vdd of the first voltage terminal V1 can be written into the first terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7 are all in an open state under the control of the signals of their respective control terminals. Figure 2 The seventh transistor T7 is configured to respond to the signal of the third reset signal control terminal to reset the light emitting element D, and the writing voltage of the seventh transistor T7 is no longer shown in the figure. The third reset signal control terminal and the writing signal control terminal are connected to the same signal line, both of which are recorded as Gate.

[0083] Step 101, in a second reset stage t2, in response to a signal at the first reset signal control terminal, the second terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11 is reset using the voltage at the second voltage terminal V2, so that a fixed voltage difference exists between the first terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11 and the second terminal of the driving sub-circuit 11;

[0084] In a specific implementation process, after the driving end of the third transistor T3 is reset, the second end of the third transistor T3 may be reset to ensure that a fixed voltage difference exists between the first end of the third transistor T3 and the second end of the third transistor T3 .

[0085] Specifically, the signal of the first reset signal control terminal is still the signal Reset1 of the first sub-reset circuit control terminal, and its level is still the second level, which controls the first transistor T1 to close, so that the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 continues to maintain the voltage of the node N1. In this stage, the level of the signal Reset3 of the compensation signal control terminal is the second level, the second transistor T2 is closed, and the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 can be written to the second end of the third transistor T3, that is, the node N3. In this stage, the fifth transistor T5 is still in a closed state, the voltage difference between the node N1 and the node N2 is maintained at Vgs=Vinit1-Vdd<0, the third transistor T3 is turned on, the voltage of the node N2 is maintained at Vdd, and the voltage difference between the node N3 and the node N2 is maintained at Vds=Vinit1-Vdd<0. The current path is the fifth transistor T5-the third transistor T3-the second transistor T2-the first transistor T1, so that the current of the current path can be used to reset the third transistor T3. Among them, Vgs≤-5V, Vds≤-5V.

[0086] It should be noted that Figure 1 The first sub-reset circuit 161 is a first transistor T1, the compensation sub-circuit 15 is a second transistor T2, and the first light-emitting sub-circuit is a fifth transistor T5. That is to say, Figure 1The first sub-reset circuit 161 includes a first sub-reset transistor, the compensation sub-circuit 15 includes a compensation transistor, and the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 12 includes a light-emitting control transistor. In actual applications, the first sub-reset circuit 161 may include multiple first sub-reset transistors connected in series, the compensation sub-circuit 15 may include multiple compensation transistors connected in series, and the first light-emitting control sub-circuit 12 may include multiple light-emitting control transistors connected in series. In this way, by adding a transistor between the node N2 and the first voltage terminal V1, and adding a transistor between the node N3 and the second voltage terminal V2, the driving controllability is made stronger, and the voltage across the third transistor T3 can be accurately controlled to achieve different reset levels.

[0087] Continue to see Figure 2 ,according to Figure 2 It can be seen from the timing sequence shown that in the second reset phase t2, the fourth transistor T4, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 are all in the off state.

[0088] In addition, based on the above description, it can be known that in this embodiment, the node N1 is reset first and then the node N3 is reset, rather than resetting the nodes N1 and N3 at the same time. This has the following effects:

[0089] Effect 1: Resetting node N1 first can make the reset more complete and the reset effect better. Specifically, in the actual process, the reset process is not for one pixel, but for a row of pixels, so there are thousands of pixels of node N1 that need to be reset. Figure 1 The storage capacitor cst corresponding to the middle node N1 will have charge movement during the reset process, that is, current is generated, and due to the existence of the wiring resistance of the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21, a voltage drop will inevitably occur. If the node N1 and the node N3 are reset at the same time, the reset effect will be affected, so the node N1 is reset first. After the node N1 is reset, there is basically no charge movement, eliminating the voltage drop of the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21, ensuring the reset effect of the node N1, and then the node N3 is reset to eliminate the influence of the node N1 and ensure the reset effect of the node N3.

[0090] Effect 2: The load when the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 is reset can be reduced, and the stability of the voltage Vinit1 signal of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 can be improved. That is to say, when the pixel circuit is reset, the node N1 will be charged, so that the storage capacitor (i.e., cst) corresponding to the node N1 is added to the load corresponding to the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21. If the node N3 is reset at the same time, the capacitor of the node N3 (not shown in the figure) will also be added to the load corresponding to the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21. In this way, the load corresponding to the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 will increase, and the time for the voltage Vinit1 of the first sub-voltage terminal V21 to recover to the initial value after fluctuation will be longer, which will cause the potential charged to the node N1 to be not the desired potential, and there will be a part of the point voltage loss, which will eventually reduce the reset effect.

[0091] Effect 3: The node N1 is first reset to a lower potential to ensure the bias state of the third transistor T3, which can make the third transistor T3 turn on more fully and achieve a better subsequent reset effect.

[0092] Step 102, in the data writing compensation phase t3, in response to the signal of the writing signal control terminal and the signal of the compensation signal control terminal, the data writing subcircuit 14 and the compensation subcircuit 15 in the pixel circuit are controlled to write data and perform threshold compensation on the driving subcircuit 11;

[0093] like Figure 2 As shown, in this stage, the levels of the signal Gate at the write signal control terminal and the signal Reset3 at the compensation signal control terminal are both at the second level, controlling the fourth transistor T4 and the second transistor T2 to close to complete data writing and threshold compensation for the drive sub-circuit 11.

[0094] It should be noted that according to Figure 2 It can be seen from the timing shown that in this stage, the seventh transistor T7 is also closed under the control of the signal Gate written into the signal control terminal to reset the light emitting element D. The first transistor T1, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are in the off state.

[0095] Step 103 , in the light emitting stage t4 , in response to the signal of the first light emitting signal control terminal and the signal of the second light emitting signal control terminal, control and drive the light emitting element D to emit light.

[0096] In this stage, the fifth transistor T5 is closed under the control of the signal EM1 of the first light-emitting signal control terminal, the sixth transistor T6 is closed under the control of the signal EM2 of the second light-emitting signal control terminal, the third transistor T3 remains in a closed state, and the other transistors are in an open state, controlling the light-emitting element D to emit light.

[0097] The pixel circuit of this embodiment configures the timing of the first reset subcircuit 16 so that when the driving subcircuit 11 is reset, the first end of the driving subcircuit 11 and the second end of the driving subcircuit 11 are maintained at a fixed voltage difference, so that the driving subcircuit 11 has a stable current and does not gradually decrease with time, which can better reset the carrier distribution in the channel of the driving transistor and the recovery of the defect state, thereby improving the reset effect, thereby improving the reduction of the influence of the afterimage and improving the display quality. In addition, the reset degree can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage difference between the first end of the driving subcircuit 11 and the second end of the driving subcircuit 11, and the controllability is also higher.

The second sub-reset circuit 162 is the eighth transistor T8, and in this pixel circuit, the seventh transistor T7 is no longer set on the first pole side of the light-emitting element D. Its pixel circuit is still an LTPS circuit, and the transistors therein are also explained by taking P-type transistors as examples. And the write signal control terminal and the compensation signal control terminal are connected to the same signal line, both of which are recorded as Gate.

[0101] Among them, the first reset signal includes a signal Reset1 at the first sub-reset circuit control end and a signal Reset2 at the second sub-reset circuit control end. In the first reset stage t1, the signal Reset1 at the first sub-reset circuit control end controls the first sub-reset circuit 161 to be closed, and the signal Reset2 at the second sub-reset circuit control end controls the second sub-reset circuit 162 to be opened. In the second stage, the signal Reset1 at the first sub-reset circuit control end controls the first sub-reset circuit 161 to be closed, and the signal Reset2 at the second sub-reset circuit control end controls the second sub-reset circuit 162 to be closed.

The level of the signal Reset2 at the control end of the second sub-reset circuit is the second level, and the eighth transistor T8 is controlled to be closed, so that the voltage Vinit2 of the second sub-voltage terminal V22 writes the voltage to the node N3, thereby resetting the node N3.
