However, with the growing market demand for large-size, high-resolution display panels, traditional LTPS AMOLED technology faces a series of challenges. Uniformity issues, high equipment costs, complex production processes, and high costs for equipment upgrades in large-size applications of LTPS AMOLEDs have limited their further expansion in the large-size display market.

[0052] Combine the following Figure 3 The working timing diagram of the pixel circuit shown is Figure 1 The working process of the pixel circuit in is described in detail, wherein, taking the above-mentioned transistor as an N-type transistor as an example, the conduction level is a high level.
[0053] like Figure 4A and Figure 3 As shown, in stage 1: a high level signal is input to the first control signal terminal EM1 and the first scan signal terminal S1, and a low level signal is input to the second control signal terminal EM2, the second scan signal terminal S2 and the third scan signal terminal S3.
[0054] In some embodiments, in the first stage, an initialization circuit is used to provide an initialization voltage to the first node N1 under the control of a first scan signal provided by the first scan signal terminal S1, a first voltage provided by the first voltage terminal Vdd, and a first control signal provided by the first control signal terminal EM1. At this time, the first node is charged to the first voltage terminal Vdd.
[0055] like Figure 4B and Figure 3 As shown, in stage 2: a high level signal is input to the first scan signal terminal S1 and the third scan signal terminal S3, and a low level signal is input to the first control signal terminal EM1, the second control signal terminal EM2 and the second scan signal terminal S2.
[0056] In some embodiments, in the second stage, under the control of the third scan signal provided by the third scan signal terminal S2, a threshold voltage and a second voltage provided by the second voltage terminal Vd are written to the first node N1 and a second voltage is written to the second node N2 using a data writing circuit and an initialization circuit, that is, at this time the first node voltage is Vd+Vth, and the second node voltage is Vd. At the same time, under the control of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal S2, the second initialization signal provided by the second initialization signal terminal Vinit1 is written to the third node N3.
[0057] like Figure 4C and Figure 3 As shown, in stage 3: a high level signal is input to the second scan signal terminal S2 and the third scan signal terminal S3, and a low level signal is input to the first scan signal terminal S1, the first control signal terminal EM1 and the second control signal terminal EM2.
[0058] In some embodiments, in the third stage, under the control of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal S2, a data signal provided by the data line DATA is written to the first node using a data writing circuit. At this time, the first node voltage is Vd+Vth+Vdata, the second node voltage is Vd, and the voltage difference from the gate to the source of the driving transistor M1 (Vgs voltage) is the voltage difference between the N1 and N2 nodes, that is, Vgs=(Vdata+Vth+Vd)-Vd=Vdata+Vth.
[0059] like Figure 4D and Figure 3 As shown, in stage 4: a high level signal is input to the first control signal terminal EM1 and the second control signal terminal EM2, and a low level signal is input to the first scan signal terminal S1, the second scan signal terminal S2 and the third scan signal terminal S3.
[0060] In some embodiments, in the fourth stage, under the control of the first control signal provided by the first control signal terminal EM1 and the second control signal provided by the second control signal terminal EM2, the driving circuit is used to drive the light-emitting unit to emit light, and Vgs is stabilized. Since the driving current is:
[0061]
[0062] Among them, K is a parameter related to transistor mobility.
[0063] Substituting the Vgs voltage in stage 3, the drive current is:
[0064]
[0065] It can be seen that Vth has been offset in the calculation formula of the driving current, that is, the light emitting brightness of the light emitting unit will no longer be affected by the change of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor.
[0066] The disclosed embodiment provides a pixel circuit, which includes a first initialization circuit, a data writing circuit, a light emitting control circuit, a driving circuit, and a compensation auxiliary circuit. In the initialization stage, the first initialization circuit can provide an initialization voltage to ensure that the pixel circuit is in a known state at the beginning of each display cycle. Then, the threshold voltage is written to the first node and the initialization voltage is written to the second node through the compensation auxiliary circuit. In the data writing stage, the data signal is written to the first node through the data writing circuit. The driving circuit realizes compensation for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor according to the voltage of the first node and the second node. In the light emitting stage, the light emitting control circuit adjusts the brightness or switching state of the light emitting unit according to the driving current provided by the driving circuit, which solves the problem of poor display effect caused by different threshold voltages, thereby improving the display stability and consistency of the pixel circuit.
[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 1 The first initialization circuit in can also be as follows Figure 2 As shown in part ①, an initialization sub-circuit is added to the first initialization circuit, which can write the first initialization signal provided by the first initialization signal terminal Vinit2 to the first node N1 under the control of the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal terminal S2, that is, apply an initialization voltage to the first node, wherein the voltage size and timing of the first initialization signal terminal can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not limited by the voltage of the first voltage terminal Vdd. In other words, when the negative bias of Vth is serious, the first node can be initialized by adjusting the first initialization signal terminal Vinit2 to improve the negative bias problem.
[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 1 The drive circuit in can also be Figure 2As shown in part ②, a back gate structure is added to the driving transistor M1, that is, the driving transistor M1 is a double-gate structure, thereby introducing an additional third control signal terminal VBG, which can improve the carrier mobility of the driving transistor M1 by increasing the gate voltage of the driving circuit.
