The data writing module 20 is configured to write data signals to the driving module 10. The compensation module 30 is configured to compensate the data signal.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The diagram below shows a pixel driving circuit in one optional embodiment. The driving module 10 may include a first transistor T1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the third node N3, the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the second node N2, and the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the first node N1.

[0071] The data writing module 20 may include a second transistor T2, the first terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the data signal terminal Vdata, the second terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the first node N1, and the control terminal of the second transistor T2 is connected to the third control signal terminal GW.

[0072] The compensation module 30 may include a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, and a second capacitor C2. The first terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the driving module 10, the second terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to a constant voltage source. The control terminal of one of the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first control signal terminal GB, and the control terminal of the other is connected to the second control signal terminal GC. In this embodiment, the connection between the control terminal of the third transistor T3 and the second control signal terminal GC, and the connection between the control terminal of the fourth transistor T4 and the first control signal terminal GB, are used as an example. The first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the second node N2, and the second terminal is connected to the first node N1. Specifically, the first terminal of the third transistor T3 is connected to the third node N3. The second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 may be connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD, the first reference signal terminal Vref, the first reset signal terminal Vint1, or other constant voltage sources. In this embodiment, the second terminal of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD.

[0073] The light-emitting control module 40 may include a sixth transistor T6 and a seventh transistor T7. The first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the light-emitting unit 60, the second terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the third node N3, and the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first light-emitting control signal terminal EM1. The first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS, the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second node N2, and the control terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the second light-emitting control signal terminal EM2. Specifically, the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the fourth node N4.

[0074] The reset module 50 may include an eighth transistor T8 and a ninth transistor T9. The first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to a constant voltage source, the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the light-emitting unit 60, and the control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the first control signal terminal GB. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to a constant voltage source, the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the first node N1, and the control terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the second control signal terminal GC. Specifically, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the first reset signal terminal Vint1, and the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the fourth node N4. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 may be connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD, the first reference signal terminal Vref, the first reset signal terminal Vint1, or other constant voltage sources. It is only necessary to ensure that the difference between the potential of the constant voltage source connected to the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 and the potential of the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1. In this embodiment, the first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the first reference signal terminal Vref.

[0075] Optionally, the pixel driving circuit further includes a third capacitor C3. The first terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the second node N2, and the second terminal of the third capacitor C3 is connected to a constant voltage source.

[0076] The control electrodes of the third transistor T3 and the ninth transistor T9 are connected to the same control signal terminal, as are the control electrodes of the fourth transistor T4 and the eighth transistor T8. This effectively reduces the number of shift register units at the display panel bezel, facilitating a reduction in the bezel width and simplifying the wiring design of the display area. The third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected in series to jointly control the input, effectively preventing interference from the compensation module 30 signal to the drive module 10 during high-frequency reset.

[0077] The following will combine Figure 2 Come to Figure 1 The circuit is explained. Figure 2 As one embodiment Figure 1 The timing diagram of the circuit shown is shown.

[0078] During the S1 period, all control signals are at a low level, and all transistors are turned off.

[0079] During period S2, the second control signal and the second light emission control signal transition to a high potential. The third transistor T3, the sixth transistor T6, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on. The first reference signal terminal Vref resets the first node N1, and the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS resets the second node N2.

[0080] During period S3, the second light-emitting control signal transitions to a low potential, and the first control signal transitions to a high potential. The sixth transistor T6 is turned off, while the fourth transistor T4 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on. Since the difference between the potential of the first reference signal terminal Vref and the potential of the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1, the first transistor T1 is turned on. The potential of the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD is written to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4, the third transistor T3, and the first transistor T1, and coupled to the first node N1 through the second capacitor C2. The first transistor T1 is turned off when the potential of the second node N2 is equal to the potential of the first reference signal terminal Vref minus Vth. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the first reset signal terminal Vint1 resets the fourth node N4.

[0081] During period S4, the second control signal transitions to a low potential, and the third control signal transitions to a high potential. The third transistor T3 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off, while the second transistor T2 is turned on. The data signal Vdata at the data signal terminal is written to the first node N1 via the second transistor T2. Due to the voltage division by the third capacitor C3, the potential of the second node N2 changes.

[0082] Vref-Vth+C2×(Vdata-Vref) / (C2+C3).

[0083] During period S5, the first and third control signals go low. The second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off.

[0084] During period S6, both the first and second light-emitting control signals transition to a high potential. The second power supply signal terminal ELVSS is written to the second node N2 via the sixth transistor T6, causing the second node N2 to transition to:

[0085] N2=Vs=ELVSS ①

[0086] Due to the coupling of the second capacitor C2, the first node N1 transforms into:

[0087] N1=Vg=Vdata+ELVSS-[Vref-Vth+C2×(Vdata-Vref) / (C2+C2)] ②

[0088] The drive current Id can be expressed by the equation:

[0089] Id=u*Cox*W / 2L*(Vgs-Vth)^2 ③

[0090] Substituting ① and ② into ③, we get:

[0091] Id=u*Cox*W / 2L*{Vdata+ELVSS-[Vref-Vth+C2*(Vdata-Vref) / (C2+C2)]-ELVSS-Vth}^2

[0092] =u*Cox*W / 2L*[C3*(Vdata-Vref) / (C2+C3)]^2

[0093] =k(Vdata-Vref)^2

[0094] “μ” and “Cox” are constants, “W” is the channel width of the first transistor T1, “L” is the channel length of the first transistor T1, and “Vgs” is the differential voltage between the gate and source of the first transistor T1. “μ”, “Cox”, “W”, “L”, “C2”, and “C3” are fixed values ​​after the circuit module is manufactured, i.e., constants, and can be replaced by k. Finally, from Id = k(Vdata - Vref)^2, it can be seen that the driving current Id flowing through the light-emitting unit 60 during time S6 is unaffected by the threshold voltage (Vth) of the first transistor T1, thus the brightness of the image output by the display panel can be maintained uniformly, regardless of the characteristics (Vth) of the first transistor T1.

[0095] In subsequent display frames of the display panel, the pixel driving circuit repeats the above steps S1-S6 to refresh the display panel.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a circuit diagram of the pixel driving circuit in one optional embodiment. Figure 1 Compared to the illustrated embodiment, in this embodiment, the control electrodes of the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 of the light-emitting control module 40 are connected to the same light-emitting control signal terminal EM. The second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 can be connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD, the first reference signal terminal Vref, the first reset signal terminal Vint1, or other constant voltage sources. In this embodiment, the second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first reference signal terminal Vref. In this embodiment, the reset module 50 also includes a tenth transistor T10. The first electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to a constant voltage source, the second electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the second node N2, and the control electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the fourth control signal terminal GI. The potential difference between the constant voltage source connected to the first electrode of the ninth transistor T9 and the constant voltage source connected to the first electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1. In this embodiment, the first electrode of the tenth transistor T10 is connected to the second reset signal terminal Vint2.

The first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to a constant voltage source, the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the light-emitting unit 60, and the control terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the first control signal terminal GB. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to a constant voltage source, the second terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the fifth node N5, and the control terminal of the ninth transistor T9 is connected to the second control signal terminal GC. Specifically, the first terminal of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the first reset signal terminal Vint1, and the second terminal of the eighth transistor T8 is connected to the fourth node N4. The first terminal of the ninth transistor T9 may be connected to the first reference signal terminal Vref.

[0106] Optionally, the pixel driving circuit further includes a fourth capacitor C4. The first terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the fifth node N5, and the second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to a constant voltage source. Specifically, the second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 can be connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD, the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS, the first reference signal terminal Vref, the first reset signal terminal Vint1, the second reset signal terminal Vint2, or other constant voltage sources. In this embodiment, the second terminal of the fourth capacitor C4 is connected to the first power supply signal terminal ELVDD.

[0107] The control electrodes of the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the ninth transistor T9 are connected to the same control signal terminal. Similarly, the control electrodes of the third transistor T3 and the eighth transistor T8 are also connected to the same control signal terminal. This effectively reduces the number of shift register units at the display panel bezel, facilitating a reduction in the bezel width and simplifying the wiring design of the display area. The third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are connected in series to jointly control the input, effectively preventing interference from the compensation module 30 signal to the drive module 10 during high-frequency reset.

[0108] The following will combine Figure 6 Come to Figure 5 The circuit is explained. Figure 6 As one embodiment Figure 5 The timing diagram of the circuit shown is shown.

[0109] During the S1 period, all control signals are at a low level, and all transistors are turned off.

[0110] During period S2, the second control signal and the second light emission control signal transition to a high potential. The fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6, and the ninth transistor T9 are turned on. The first reference signal terminal Vref resets the fifth node N5, and the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS resets the second node N2 and the first node N1.

[0111] During period S3, the second light-emitting control signal transitions to a low potential, and the first control signal transitions to a high potential. The sixth transistor T6 is turned off, while the third transistor T3 and the eighth transistor T8 are turned on. Since the difference between the potential of the second power supply signal terminal ELVSS and the potential of the first reference signal terminal Vref is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the first transistor T1, the first transistor T1 is turned on. The potential of the first reference signal terminal Vref is written to the second node N2 via the fourth transistor T4, the third transistor T3, and the first transistor T1, and then written to the first node N1 via the fifth transistor T5. The first transistor T1 is turned off when the potential of the first node N1 reaches the potential of the first reference signal terminal Vref + Vth. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the first reset signal terminal Vint1 resets the fourth node N4.

[0112] During period S4, the second control signal transitions to a low potential, and the third control signal transitions to a high potential. The fourth transistor T4 and the ninth transistor T9 are turned off, while the second transistor T2 is turned on. The data signal at the data signal terminal Vdata is written to the fifth node N5 via the second transistor T2 and coupled to the first node N1 through the first capacitor C1. The potential of the first node N1 becomes:

[0113] N1 = Vdata + Vth.

[0114] During period S5, the first and third control signals go low. The second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off.

[0115] During time S6, the first and second light-emitting control signals go to a high level. The seventh transistor T7, the first transistor T1, and the sixth transistor T6 are turned on, and the light-emitting unit 60 emits light.

[0116] The drive current Id can be expressed by the equation:

[0117] Id=u*Cox*W / 2L*(Vgs-Vth)^2

[0118] =u*Cox*W / 2L*(Vdata+Vth-ELVSS-Vth)^2

[0119] =u*Cox*W / 2L*(Vdata-ELVSS)^2

[0120] "μ" and "Cox" are constants, "W" is the channel width of the first transistor T1, "L" is the channel length of the first transistor T1, and "Vgs" is the differential voltage between the gate and source of the first transistor T1. "μ", "Cox", "W", "L", "C2", and "C3" are fixed values ​​after the circuit module is manufactured. Finally, from Id = u*Cox*W / 2L*(Vdata-ELVSS)^2, it can be seen that the driving current Id flowing through the light-emitting unit 60 during time S6 is unaffected by the threshold voltage (Vth) of the first transistor T1, thus the brightness of the image output by the display panel can be maintained uniformly, regardless of the characteristics (Vth) of the first transistor T1.

[0121] In subsequent display frames of the display panel, the pixel driving circuit repeats the above steps S1-S6 to refresh the display panel.
