[0059] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit includes a driving transistor Td, a data writing transistor (e.g., a second transistor T2), a compensation transistor (e.g., a third transistor T3), two light emitting control transistors (e.g., a fourth transistor T4 and a fifth transistor T5), and two reset transistors (e.g., a first transistor T1 and a sixth transistor T6).
[0060] Figure 2B is a circuit diagram showing the structure of a pixel driving circuit in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2BIn some embodiments, the third transistor T3 is a "dual-gate" transistor and the first transistor T1 is a "dual-gate" transistor. Optionally, in the "dual-gate" first transistor, the active layer of the first transistor crosses the corresponding reset control signal line twice (alternatively, the corresponding reset control signal line crosses the active layer of the first transistor T1 twice). Similarly, in the "dual-gate" third transistor, the active layer of the third transistor T3 crosses the corresponding first gate line of the plurality of first gate lines GL1 twice (alternatively, the corresponding gate line crosses the active layer of the third transistor T3 twice). The gate of the first transistor T1 is Figure 3D The first transistor T1 is a "double-gate" transistor. The gate of the third transistor T3 is Figure 3D Marked as “G3”, wherein the third transistor T3 is a “dual-gate” transistor.
[0061] The pixel driving circuit also includes a first node N1, a second node N2, a third node N3 and a fourth node N4. The first node N1 is connected to the gate of the driving transistor Td, the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second electrode of the third transistor T3. The second node N2 is connected to the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode of the second transistor T2, and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td.

The fourth node N4 is connected to the second electrode of the fifth transistor T5, the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 and the anode of the light emitting element LE.
[0062] As used herein, a first electrode or a second electrode refers to one of a first terminal and a second terminal of a transistor, and the first terminal and the second terminal are connected to the active layer of the transistor. The direction of the current flowing through the transistor can be configured to be from the first electrode to the second electrode, or from the second electrode to the first electrode. Therefore, depending on the direction of the current flowing through the transistor, in one example, the first electrode is configured to receive an input signal, and the second electrode is configured to output an output signal; in another example, the second electrode is configured to receive an input signal, and the first electrode is configured to output an output signal.
[0063] Figure 2C is a timing diagram showing the operation of the pixel driving circuit in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2CDuring one frame of image, the operation of the pixel driving circuit includes a reset sub-stage t1, a data writing sub-stage t2, and a light emitting sub-stage t3. In the initial sub-stage t0, a cut-off reset control signal is provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 through a corresponding first reset control signal line among a plurality of first reset control signal lines rst1 to cut off the first transistor T1, and a cut-off reset control signal is provided to the gate of the sixth transistor T6 through a corresponding second reset control signal line among a plurality of second reset control signal lines rst2 to cut off the sixth transistor T6. In the initial sub-stage t0, a corresponding gate line among a plurality of gate lines GL is provided with a cut-off signal, so that the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are cut off.
[0064] In the reset sub-phase t1, the on-reset control signal is provided to the gate of the first transistor T1 through the corresponding first reset control signal line in the plurality of first reset control signal lines rst1 to turn on the first transistor T1; to allow the initialization voltage signal from the corresponding first reset signal line in the plurality of first reset signal lines Vint1 to be transmitted from the first electrode of the first transistor T1 to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, and then to the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the gate of the driving transistor Td. The gate of the driving transistor Td is initialized. The second capacitor electrode Ce2 receives a high voltage signal from the corresponding voltage supply line in the plurality of voltage supply lines Vdd. As the voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2 increases, the first capacitor electrode Ce1 is charged in the reset sub-phase t1. In the reset sub-phase t1, the corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL is provided with a cut-off signal, so the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are cut off. The corresponding light emitting control signal line in the plurality of light emitting control signal lines em is provided with a high voltage signal to cut off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0065] In the data writing sub-phase t2, the gate of the first transistor T1 is again provided with a cut-off reset control signal through the corresponding first reset control signal line in the plurality of first reset control signal lines rst1 to cut off the first transistor T1. The corresponding gate line in the plurality of gate lines GL is provided with a turn-on signal, so that the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on. The second electrode of the driving transistor Td is connected to the first electrode of the third transistor T3. The gate of the driving transistor Td is electrically connected to the second electrode of the third transistor T3. Since the third transistor T3 is turned on in the data writing sub-phase t2, the gate of the driving transistor Td is connected to the second electrode and short-circuited, and only the PN junction between the gate and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td is effective, so that the driving transistor Td is in a diode connection mode. The second transistor T2 is turned on in the data writing sub-phase t2. The data voltage signal transmitted through the corresponding data line in the plurality of data lines DL is received by the first electrode of the second transistor T2, and then transmitted to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td, and the first electrode of the driving transistor Td is connected to the second electrode of the second transistor T2. The node N2 connected to the first electrode of the driving transistor Td has the voltage level of the data voltage signal. Since only the PN junction between the gate of the driving transistor Td and the first electrode is effective, in the data writing sub-phase t2, the voltage level at the N1 node gradually rises to (Vdata+Vth), where Vdata is the voltage level of the data voltage signal and Vth is the voltage level of the threshold voltage Th of the PN junction. Because the voltage difference between the first capacitor electrode Ce1 and the second capacitor electrode Ce2 is reduced to a relatively small value, the storage capacitor Cst is discharged. The corresponding light emitting control signal line among the plurality of light emitting control signal lines em is provided with a high voltage signal to turn off the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0066] In the data writing sub-phase t2, a turn-on reset control signal is provided to the gate of the sixth transistor T6 through a corresponding second reset control signal line among the plurality of second reset control signal lines rst2 to turn on the sixth transistor T6; to allow an initialization voltage signal from a corresponding second reset signal line among the plurality of second reset signal lines Vint2 to be transferred from the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 to the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6; and further to the node N4. The anode of the light emitting element LE is initialized.
[0067] In the light-emitting sub-stage t3, the gate of the first transistor T1 is again provided with a cut-off reset control signal through the corresponding first reset control signal line among the plurality of first reset control signal lines rst1 to cut off the first transistor T1. The corresponding gate line among the plurality of gate lines GL is provided with a cut-off signal, and the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are cut off. The corresponding light-emitting control signal line among the plurality of light-emitting control signal lines em is provided with a low voltage signal to turn on the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5. In the light-emitting sub-stage t3, the voltage level at the node N1 is maintained at (Vdata+Vth), and the driving transistor Td is turned on by the voltage level and operates in the saturation region. A path is formed through the fourth transistor T4, the driving transistor Td, and the fifth transistor T5 to the light-emitting element LE. The driving transistor Td generates a driving current to drive the light-emitting element LE to emit light. The voltage level at the node N3 connected to the second electrode of the driving transistor Td is equal to the light-emitting voltage of the light-emitting element LE.
[0068] In some embodiments, the array substrate includes a plurality of sub-pixels. In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-pixels include respective first sub-pixels, respective second sub-pixels, and respective third sub-pixels. Optionally, each pixel of the array substrate includes a corresponding first sub-pixel, a corresponding second sub-pixel, and a corresponding third sub-pixel. The plurality of sub-pixels in the array substrate are arranged in an array. In one example, the array of the plurality of sub-pixels includes a S1-S2-S3 format repeating array, wherein S1 represents the corresponding first sub-pixel, S2 represents the corresponding second sub-pixel, and S3 represents the corresponding third sub-pixel. In another example, the S1-S2-S3 format is a C1-C2-C3 format, wherein C1 represents the corresponding first sub-pixel of the first color, C2 represents the corresponding second sub-pixel of the second color, and C3 represents the corresponding third sub-pixel of the third color. In another example, the C1-C2-C3 format is an RGB format, wherein the corresponding first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the corresponding second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel, and the corresponding third sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel.
[0069] In another example, the array of multiple sub-pixels includes a repeating array of the S1-S2-S3-S4 format, wherein S1 represents the corresponding first sub-pixel, S2 represents the corresponding second sub-pixel, S3 represents the corresponding third sub-pixel, and S4 represents the corresponding fourth sub-pixel. In another example, the S1-S2-S3-S4 format is a C1-C2-C3-C4 format, wherein C1 represents the corresponding first sub-pixel of the first color, C2 represents the corresponding second sub-pixel of the second color, C3 represents the corresponding third sub-pixel of the third color, and C4 represents the corresponding fourth sub-pixel of the fourth color. In another example, the S1-S2-S3-S4 format is a C1-C2-C3-C2' format, wherein C1 represents the corresponding first sub-pixel of the first color, C2 represents the corresponding second sub-pixel of the second color, C3 represents the corresponding third sub-pixel of the third color, and C2' represents the corresponding fourth sub-pixel of the second color. In another example, the C1-C2-C3-C2′ format is an RGBG format, wherein the corresponding first subpixel is a red subpixel, the corresponding second subpixel is a green subpixel, the corresponding third subpixel is a blue subpixel, and the corresponding fourth subpixel is a green subpixel.
