[0061] Some embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as “comprising” or “including” mean that an element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as “connection” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.

[0063] It should be noted that the transistors used in the embodiments of this application can be thin-film transistors, field-effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics. Since the source and drain of the transistors used are symmetrical, there is no distinction between them. In the embodiments of this application, to distinguish the source and drain of the transistor, one of them is called the first terminal, the other is called the second terminal, and the gate is called the control terminal. In addition, according to the characteristics of transistors, they can be divided into N-type and P-type. The pixel circuit can contain only N-type transistors or P-type transistors, or it can use both N-type transistors and P-type transistors at the same time. When using P-type transistors, the first terminal is the source of the P-type transistor, the second terminal is the drain of the P-type transistor, and when the gate input is low, the source and drain are turned on. The low level is the working level, and the high level is the non-working level; the N-type transistor is the opposite.

[0064] See Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit structure provided in an embodiment of this application, which may include a data writing circuit, a driving circuit, and a light-emitting device, wherein the driving circuit and the light-emitting device are connected in parallel;

[0065] The data writing circuit is used to write the data signal Data to the control electrode of the drive circuit;

[0066] The driving circuit is used to turn on in response to the working level of the data signal Data, so as to short-circuit the branch where the light-emitting device is located and turn off the light-emitting device; and to turn off in response to the non-working level of the data signal Data, so as to make the light-emitting device emit light.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving circuit can adjust the driving current on the branch where the driving circuit is located in response to the data signal Data, thereby adjusting the brightness of the light-emitting device. In some embodiments, the driving circuit can be turned off in response to the non-operating level of the data signal Data, causing the light-emitting device to emit light at a higher brightness.

[0068] The driving circuit can be implemented based on a driving transistor. The data signal Data controls the opening and closing degree of the driving transistor channel, that is, it adjusts the resistance of the driving circuit, thereby controlling whether the driving circuit is turned on or off, and controlling the magnitude of the driving current flowing through the driving circuit when it is turned on. Therefore, the driving circuit can be equivalent to a variable resistor, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is an equivalent circuit diagram of the pixel circuit provided in the embodiments of this application. The light-emitting device can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), the current flowing through the variable resistor is denoted as I1, and the current flowing through the OLED is denoted as I2.

[0069] When the data signal Data is at a non-working level, the driving circuit is cut off, which is equivalent to the branch where the variable resistor is located being open-circuited. I2 >> I1, and the OLED can emit light with higher brightness.

[0070] When the data signal Data is at the working level, the driving circuit is turned on, I1>>I2, which can short-circuit the branch where the light-emitting device is located, and the OLED is turned off;

[0071] By controlling the voltage of the data signal Data written to the control electrode of the drive circuit, it is equivalent to adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor, controlling the distribution of I1 and I2, thereby achieving the adjustment of OLED brightness.

[0072] against Figure 1 The driving method of the pixel circuit shown may include:

[0073] During the data writing phase, the data writing circuit writes the data signal Data to the control electrode of the drive circuit;

[0074] During the non-light-emitting phase, the driving circuit turns on in response to the operating voltage level of the data signal Data, short-circuiting the branch containing the light-emitting device and turning it off.

[0075] The driving process of the pixel circuit can include at least an initialization phase, a data writing phase, and a light emission phase. The non-light emission phase can include the initialization phase and the data writing phase within one driving cycle.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, the driving method may further include:

[0077] During the light-emitting phase, the driving circuit is cut off in response to the non-operating level of the data signal Data, and the light-emitting device emits light.

[0078] In other embodiments, the driving circuit can also be used to respond to the data signal Data being turned on, and adjust the current allocated to the branch where the light-emitting device is located by adjusting the data voltage provided by the data signal Data, thereby adjusting the brightness of the light-emitting device.

[0079] The pixel circuit provided in this application controls the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device by connecting the driving circuit and the light-emitting device in parallel and controlling the resistance state of the driving circuit through a data writing circuit. In grayscale mode, the driving circuit can turn on in response to the working level of the data signal (Data), causing the light-emitting device to turn off. This effectively avoids large leakage current in the driving circuit during grayscale mode, which could result in black screens or bright spots.

[0080] In some embodiments, the data writing circuit, the driving circuit, and the light-emitting device can be adopted as follows: Figure 3A or Figure 3B Set it as shown.

[0088] By setting up a first light-emitting control circuit, it is possible to flexibly control the light-emitting device to light up or turn off.

[0089] It should be noted that in the pixel circuits of related technologies, the driving circuit and the light-emitting device are usually connected in series on the connection line between the first power supply voltage terminal VDD and the second power supply voltage terminal VSS, such as 2T1C pixel circuit, 7T1C pixel circuit and 8T1C pixel circuit.
