AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

At high refresh rates, the problem of abnormal display of pixels in the first and last rows of the display panel is mainly due to the compression of the row time of the pixel circuit, which causes the compensation process of the internal compensation circuit to be unable to be completed within the row time, resulting in the threshold voltage compensation effect of the pixel circuits in the first and last rows being inconsistent with that of the middle row.

Method used

Multiple rows of redundant second pixel circuits are set in the non-display area of ​​the display panel to fill in the missing pixel circuit rows when the first pixel circuits in the first and last rows perform threshold voltage compensation, so that the compensation currents of the first and last rows are consistent with those of the middle row. By setting redundant pixel circuits in the non-display area to achieve cross-row compensation, it is ensured that the threshold voltage compensation effects of all rows are consistent.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids display anomalies of the first and last rows of pixels in the display area, reduces the width of the non-display area, and thus reduces the impact of the border of the display panel.

[0069] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0071] As described in the background art, existing display panels have the problem of abnormal display of pixels in the first and last rows at high refresh rates. The inventors have found that the reason for the above problem is that at high refresh rates, the row time of the pixel circuit is greatly compressed, resulting in the inability of the internal compensation circuit to complete the compensation process within a row time. In order to solve the above problem, the relevant technology uses cross-row compensation to compensate for the threshold voltage. The so-called cross-row compensation refers to the fact that the threshold voltage compensation time of the pixel circuit exceeds the row time, so that the compensation time spans multiple rows, that is, there is a phenomenon of simultaneous compensation of multiple rows of pixel circuits to improve the compensation effect. However, in the current display panels, the compensation method of the pixel circuit is a charge-discharge structure. Multiple rows of pixel circuits charge and discharge the first storage capacitor at the same time, and there is a phenomenon of instantaneous voltage drop in the DC voltage involved in the compensation. Moreover, since the number of rows compensated simultaneously by the first and last row pixel circuits is insufficient, the DC voltage involved in the compensation of the first and last row pixel circuits will be different from the DC voltage at other positions, which in turn causes the problem of abnormal display of the first and last row pixels.

[0072] For example, Figure 1A schematic diagram of a compensation process of pixel circuits in each row of a display panel in the related art, referring to Figure 1 , the X direction represents time, and the Y direction represents pixel rows. Taking the simultaneous compensation of 5 rows of pixel circuits as an example, during the compensation process, the pixel circuits in the middle row overlap the compensation time of 2 rows of pixel circuits above and below. For example, during the threshold voltage compensation process of the 8th row of pixel circuits Row8, the two rows above it (the 6th row of pixel circuits Row6 and the 7th row of pixel circuits Row7) and the two rows below it (the 9th row of pixel circuits Row9 and the 10th row of pixel circuits Row10) simultaneously perform threshold voltage compensation, and the DC voltage drop used for compensation of each row of pixel circuits is 1V. However, there is no pixel circuit row overlapping with it above the 1st row of pixel circuits Row1. Therefore, the DC voltage drop used for compensation of the 1st row of pixel circuits Row1 is less than 1V, resulting in different compensation currents for the 1st row of pixel circuits Row1 and the middle row of pixel circuits, which in turn leads to the inconsistent compensation effect of the threshold voltage of the 1st row of pixel circuits Row1 and the middle row of pixel circuits, resulting in abnormal driving of the 1st row of pixel circuits Row1 and abnormal display of the 1st row of pixels Row1. The compensation effect of the pixel circuit in the last row (taking Row 15 as an example) is the same as the compensation effect of the pixel circuit in Row 1.

[0073] like Figure 1 At the middle dotted line, during the simultaneous compensation process, the first 5 rows and the last 5 rows of pixel circuits will both lack corresponding pixel circuit rows.

[0074] To address the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel that adds redundant pixel circuits to make up for the missing pixel circuit rows of the first and last rows during the compensation process. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The display panel provided in this embodiment has a display area AA and a non-display area NA arranged around the display area, and the display panel includes:

[0075] A plurality of first pixel circuits 11 are located in the display area AA and arranged in an array of m rows. Each first pixel circuit AA is connected to a light-emitting element, and the first pixel circuit 11 is used to drive the light-emitting element to emit light. At least n rows of first pixel circuits 11 simultaneously perform threshold voltage compensation, where m and n are both positive integers greater than 1, and m is greater than n.

[0076] a plurality of second pixel circuits 21, the plurality of second pixel circuits 21 being located in the non-display area NA and arranged in an array of t rows, the second pixel circuits 21 being configured to configure the second pixel circuits in row x to perform threshold voltage compensation when the first pixel circuits 11 in the preceding row a perform threshold voltage compensation, and / or to configure the second pixel circuits 21 in row y to perform threshold voltage compensation when the first pixel circuits 11 in the following row b perform threshold voltage compensation, wherein t, a, x, b, and y are all positive integers greater than 1, x and y are both not greater than t, and a+x and b+y are both not greater than n;

[0077] The number of transistors in the second pixel circuit 21 is smaller than the number of transistors in the first pixel circuit 11 .

[0078] Specifically, the first pixel circuits 11 are arranged in the display area AA, with a total of m rows, and are connected to light-emitting elements (not shown in the figure), and can be used to drive the light-emitting elements to emit light, thereby realizing screen display. The second pixel circuits 21 are arranged in the non-display area NA, with a total of t rows, and are not connected to the light-emitting elements. That is, the second pixel circuits 21 are redundant pixel circuits and can be used to make up for the number of rows missing from the first and last rows of first pixel circuits 11. For example, there are n rows of first pixel circuits 11 that perform threshold voltage compensation simultaneously, but for the first pixel circuits 11 in the first a rows, since the number of rows of first pixel circuits 11 in front of each row in the first a rows is less than n-1 rows, the number of rows of the difference between the first pixel circuits 11 in the first row and the first pixel circuits 11 in the a-th row decreases successively. In this case, the threshold voltage compensation can be performed by controlling the second pixel circuits 21 in the x rows so that when the first pixel circuits 11 in the first a rows perform threshold voltage compensation, the number of rows of pixel circuits that perform threshold voltage compensation simultaneously is close to n rows, or equal to n rows, so as to reduce the difference in threshold voltage compensation when the first pixel circuits 11 in the first a rows in the display area AA perform threshold voltage compensation. Similarly, for the first pixel circuits 11 in the last b rows, since the number of rows of first pixel circuits 11 following the last b rows is less than n-1 rows, the number of rows behind the first pixel circuits 11 in the nb-th row to the last row of first pixel circuits 11 increases successively. At this time, by controlling the second pixel circuits 21 in the y row to perform threshold voltage compensation, when the first pixel circuits 11 in the last b rows perform threshold voltage compensation, the number of pixel circuit rows simultaneously performing threshold voltage compensation is close to or equal to n rows, thereby reducing the difference in threshold voltage compensation performed by the first pixel circuits 11 in the last b rows within the display area AA.

[0079] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a compensation process of pixel circuits in each row of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 3Taking the simultaneous threshold voltage compensation of five rows of first pixel circuits 11 as an example (i.e., n=5), corresponding rows of second pixel circuits 21 are added in front of the first pixel circuit 11 in Row 1 and behind the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row (only Row 15 is used as the last row in the display area AA for illustration, i.e., m=15). This allows the first / last row of first pixel circuits 11 to be supplemented when multiple rows of threshold voltage compensation are performed simultaneously by the first pixel circuits 11 in the first / last row. For example, in this embodiment, four rows of second pixel circuits 21, namely Du1, Du2, ..., Du8, are added to the first pixel circuits 11 in the first and last rows, respectively, i.e., t=8. In this way, near the start time of the threshold voltage compensation of the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row Row1 (the position of the first dotted line), the second pixel circuit Du1 in the first row, the second pixel circuit Du2 in the second row, the second pixel circuit Du3 in the third row, the second pixel circuit Du4 in the fourth row and the first pixel circuit Row1 in the first row are compensated at the same time. As time goes by, near the end time of the threshold voltage compensation of the first pixel circuit Row1 in the first row (the position of the second dotted line), the first pixel circuit Row1 in the first row, the first pixel circuit Row2 in the second row, the first pixel circuit Row3 in the third row, the first pixel circuit Row4 in the fourth row and the first pixel circuit Row5 in the fifth row are compensated at the same time. Compensation is performed simultaneously. Therefore, during the compensation process of the first pixel circuit Row1 in the first row, there are always 4 rows of pixel circuits that perform compensation together with it, so that the compensation current corresponding to the first pixel circuit Row1 in the first row is consistent with the compensation currents corresponding to the first pixel circuits in other rows; similarly, during the compensation process of the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row, there are always 4 rows of pixel circuits that perform compensation together with it, so that the compensation current corresponding to the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row is consistent with the compensation currents corresponding to the first pixel circuits 11 in other middle rows, so that the compensation effect of the threshold voltage of the first pixel circuits 11 in each row in the display area AA is consistent, avoiding the problem of display abnormality of the first and last rows of pixels in the display area AA.

[0080] In actual operation, two rows of pixel circuits before and after the current row participate in compensation simultaneously.

[0081] It should be noted that if there is a process of simultaneously performing threshold voltage compensation for n rows of first pixel circuits 11, the number of rows compensated simultaneously by the first four rows of first pixel circuits 11 and the last four rows of first pixel circuits 11 is insufficient, and the number of missing rows decreases or increases successively (the number of rows missing by the first four rows of first pixel circuits 11 decreases successively, and the number of rows missing by the last four rows of first pixel circuits 11 increases successively, that is, the number of rows missing by the first pixel circuit 11 in Row 1 and the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row is the largest). In this embodiment, since the first pixel circuits 11 in the first and last rows of the display area AA both have n-1 rows of pixel circuits (including the first pixel circuit 11 in row a and the second pixel circuit 21 in row x, or including the first pixel circuit 11 in row b and the second pixel circuit 21 in row y) performing compensation simultaneously therewith, the first pixel circuits 11 in the second row and the second-to-last row in the display area AA also have n-1 rows of pixel circuits performing compensation simultaneously therewith. That is to say, while ensuring that the first pixel circuits 11 in the first and last rows in the display area AA have n-1 rows of pixel circuits to compensate simultaneously with them, each row of first pixel circuits 11 in the display area AA has other n-1 rows of pixel circuits to compensate simultaneously with the pixel circuit in that row.

[0082] In this embodiment, since the second pixel circuit 21 is not connected to the light-emitting element and the second pixel circuit 21 has a compensation function, the second pixel circuit 21 only needs to have a compensation circuit, so that the number of transistors in the second pixel circuit 21 is smaller than the number of transistors in the first pixel circuit 11, thereby reducing the occupied area of ​​the second pixel circuit 21, which is conducive to reducing the border width.

[0083] According to a technical solution provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a first pixel circuit 11 provided in a display area is used to drive a light-emitting element to emit light, and at least n rows of first pixel circuits 11 perform threshold voltage compensation simultaneously. By providing multiple rows of second pixel circuits 21 in a non-display area, a corresponding pixel circuit row exists in front of the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or behind the last row of first pixel circuits 11. When threshold voltage compensation is performed on the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or the last row of first pixel circuits 11, the pixel circuit rows that are compensated simultaneously with the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or the last row of first pixel circuits 11 are padded to n rows or close to n rows, thereby compensating for the compensation current of the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or the last row of first pixel circuits 11, thereby making the compensation current corresponding to the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or the last row of first pixel circuits 11 consistent with the compensation current corresponding to the first pixel circuits 11 in other intermediate rows, thereby making the threshold voltage compensation effect of the first pixel circuits 11 in each row in the display area AA consistent, thereby avoiding the problem of display abnormality of the first row of pixels in the display area AA. In addition, since the number of transistors in the second pixel circuit 21 is smaller than the number of transistors in the first pixel circuit 11, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the second pixel circuit 21, thereby helping to reduce the width of the non-display area and reduce the impact on the frame of the display panel.

[0084] Optionally, x is equal to na, and / or y is equal to nb, so that the pixel circuit rows that are compensated simultaneously for the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11 and / or the last row first pixel circuit 11 are padded to n rows to eliminate the differences in the compensation currents corresponding to the first pixel circuits 11 in each row.

[0085] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, in this embodiment, at least n-1 rows of second pixel circuits 21 are arranged in the non-display area NA close to the side of the first row Row1 first pixel circuit 11, and at least n-1 rows of second pixel circuits 21 are arranged in the non-display area NA close to the side of the last row of first pixel circuits 11.

[0086] Optionally, t is equal to 2n-2. n-1 rows of second pixel circuits 21 are provided in the non-display area NA near the side of the first row of first pixel circuits 11, and n-1 rows of second pixel circuits 21 are provided in the non-display area NA near the side of the last row of first pixel circuits 11, so as to ensure that the first and last rows of first pixel circuits 11 are simultaneously compensated for threshold voltages by n-1 rows of pixel circuits.

[0087] Each row of second pixel circuits 21 is disposed in the non-display area NA. To meet the compensation requirements of the first and last rows of first pixel circuits 11, the minimum number of rows of second pixel circuits 21 required can be flexibly set based on the number of rows of first pixel circuits 11 in the display area AA that simultaneously undergo threshold voltage compensation. For example, if five rows of first pixel circuits 11 undergo simultaneous threshold voltage compensation, at least four rows of second pixel circuits 21 must be added to the first and last rows of first pixel circuits 11 to ensure that five rows of pixel circuits undergo simultaneous threshold voltage compensation during the compensation process, including the first row of Row 1 and the last row of first pixel circuits 11.

[0088] Of course, in other embodiments, according to the requirements of image processing quality, stability, reliability, etc., more than 4 rows of second pixel circuits 21 can be added to realize redundant pixels, and the timing can be controlled so that only 5 rows of pixel circuits perform the threshold voltage compensation process at the same time.

[0089] The structure of the second pixel circuit 21 in FIG4 is introduced below. By optimizing the structure of the second pixel circuit 21 , the non-display area NA is minimally increased, thereby reducing the impact of the second pixel circuit 21 on the frame of the display panel.

[0091] The first driving module 101 is not connected to the light emitting element. Therefore, the second pixel circuit 21 does not need to be written with data and is only used to achieve threshold voltage compensation. Therefore, the number of modules in the second pixel circuit 21 can be reduced.

That is, the duration of the threshold voltage compensation phase T2 is equal to the row time of the n rows of first pixel circuits 11, thereby improving the threshold voltage compensation rate.

[0111] in, Figure 14 The second pixel circuit 21 and Figure 11 The first transistor M1 in the second pixel circuit 21 is connected in a source-follower manner, and only the channel type and connection relationship of the transistor are different. The number of transistors included in the two is the same. In this embodiment, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3, and the fourth transistor M4 are all N-type transistors.

[0112] Figure 15 Another driving timing diagram of the second pixel circuit provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to Figure 14 The second pixel circuit 21 shown, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The working process of the second pixel circuit 21 provided in this embodiment includes: an initialization stage T1 and a threshold voltage compensation stage T2.

[0113] During the initialization phase T1, the first scan signal S1 is at a high level, the second scan signal S2 is at a high level, and the third scan signal S3 is at a low level. The third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on, and the second transistor M2 is turned off. The first initialization voltage Vref1 is transmitted to the gate of the first transistor M1 via the third transistor M3, initializing the gate of the first transistor M1 and turning on the first transistor M1. At the same time, the second power supply voltage V2 is transmitted to the second electrode of the first transistor M1 via the fourth transistor M4, initializing the second electrode of the first transistor M1.

[0114] During the threshold voltage compensation phase T2, the first scan signal S1 is at a high level, the second scan signal S2 is at a low level, and the third scan signal S3 is at a high level. The second transistor M2 and the third transistor M3 are turned on, and the fourth transistor M4 is turned off. The first initialization voltage Vref1 continuously supplies power to the gate of the first transistor M1. The voltage at the second electrode of the first transistor M1 leaks through the fourth transistor M4. When the voltage at the second electrode of the first transistor M1 reaches Vref1 + Vth1, the first transistor M1 is turned off, achieving threshold voltage compensation. The first storage capacitor C1 stores the gate voltage of the first transistor M1. Wherein, Vth1 is the threshold voltage of the first transistor M1.

[0115] The on-time of the first compensation module 103 is equal to the row time of the n rows of first pixel circuits 11. That is, the duration of the threshold voltage compensation phase T2 is equal to the row time of the n rows of first pixel circuits 11, thereby improving the threshold voltage compensation rate.

[0116] In the above-mentioned four structures and driving timings of the second pixel circuit 21, Sn-last Row is the control signal for controlling the compensation transistor in the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row. The second scanning signal S2 or the third scanning signal S3 (the scanning signal connected to the second transistor M2) corresponding to the row can be obtained by shifting Sn-last Row.

[0117] In this embodiment, the second pixel circuit 21 includes at most four transistors and one first storage capacitor, which can greatly reduce the space added to the non-display area NA and help reduce the impact on the frame.

[0118] In the actual design process, any one of the four structures of the second pixel circuit 21 can be selected according to specific needs. The following description will take the connection structure of the N-type transistor source follower as an example. Figure 16 A schematic diagram of a second pixel circuit arrangement according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. Figure 16 The display area AA includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. Each pixel unit includes a plurality of sub-pixels, for example, a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B. Each sub-pixel corresponds to a first pixel circuit 11. That is, three first pixel circuits 11 are provided under each pixel unit. In the non-display area, only one second pixel circuit 21, three second pixel circuits 21, or two second pixel circuits 21 may be provided under each pixel unit.

[0119] Specifically, since the second pixel circuits 21 are used to compensate for the compensation current of the first and last rows of the first pixel circuits 11, as long as the second pixel circuits 21 in each row can generate the required compensation current value, the uniformity of the compensation current of each row of pixel circuits (including the first pixel circuits 11 and the second pixel circuits 21) can be guaranteed. Therefore, the number of second pixel circuits 21 in a row can be less than the number of first pixel circuits 11 in a row (e.g. Figure 16 As shown), the space occupied by the second pixel circuit 21 is reduced. Even if the threshold voltage compensation time is too long, the width of the non-display area NA can be effectively reduced by reducing the number of second pixel circuits 21 and the number of transistors inside the second pixel circuit 21, thereby reducing the impact on the border of the display panel.

[0120] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of second pixel circuits 21 in a row may also be equal to the number of first pixel circuits 11 in a row.

[0121] Optionally, in this embodiment, in the second pixel circuits 21 in the same row, the second pixel circuits 21 share the same first initialization module 102 and first storage module 104 . Figure 17 A structural diagram of another arrangement of the second pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 17 Taking the second pixel circuit 21 as an example of the fourth structure, the third transistor M3 included in the first initialization module 102 and the first storage capacitor C1 included in the first storage module 104 are pulled out and installed at the location of the second pixel circuit 21 in the first or last column. The second pixel circuits 21 in other columns share the same third transistor M3 and first storage capacitor C1 with the first or last column of second pixel circuits 21. In this way, the number of transistors and storage capacitors in some second pixel circuits 21 can be further reduced, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the second pixel circuit 21, and further reducing the increase in frame size caused by the addition of the second pixel circuit 21.

[0122] In extreme cases, the first initialization module 102, the first compensation module 103, the auxiliary module 105 and the first storage module 104 in the second pixel circuit 21 can all be pulled out, so that except for the first or last column of second pixel circuits 21, the second pixel circuits 21 in other columns only include the first driving module 101, and the other modules are shared with the first or last column of second pixel circuits 21, so as to minimize the increase in the space outside the display area AA, that is, to minimize the increase in the border size.

[0130] The first light-emitting control transistor Q5, the driving transistor Q1, the second light-emitting control transistor Q6 and the light-emitting diode D1 are connected in series between the third power line L3 and the fourth power line L4. The gate of the first light-emitting control transistor Q5 is connected to the first light-emitting control signal line, and the gate of the second light-emitting control transistor Q6 is connected to the second light-emitting control signal line.

[0131] The compensation transistor Q2 is connected between the first electrode and the gate of the driving transistor Q1, and the gate of the compensation transistor Q2 is connected to the fifth scan line; the data writing transistor Q3 is connected between the data line and the first electrode of the second storage capacitor C2, and the gate of the data writing transistor Q3 is connected to the fourth scan line; the second electrode of the second storage capacitor C2 is connected to the gate of the driving transistor Q1; the third storage capacitor C3 is connected between the second electrode of the driving transistor Q1 and the first electrode of the second storage capacitor C2.

[0133] Figure 20 A driving timing diagram of a first pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 19 and Figure 20 The operation process of the first pixel circuit 11 includes: an initialization phase t1, a threshold voltage compensation phase t2, a data writing phase t3, and a light emitting phase t4. The threshold voltage compensation phase t2 of at least the first and last rows of first pixel circuits 11 overlaps with the threshold voltage compensation phase T2 of the second pixel circuits 21 in time, and the threshold voltage compensation phase t2 of each row of first pixel circuits 11 is greater than a row time, for example, the sum of n row times, where n is an integer greater than 1.

[0134] Taking the case where all transistors are N-type transistors as an example, the specific working process of the first pixel circuit 11 is as follows:

[0135] During initialization phase t1, the fourth scan signal on the fourth scan line is low, the fifth scan signal on the fifth scan line is high, and the sixth scan signal on the sixth scan line is low. The first light control signal EM1 on the first light control signal line is high, and the second light control signal EM2 on the second light control signal line is low. Consequently, the compensation transistor Q2, the second initialization transistor Q4, and the first light control transistor Q5 are turned on. The second initialization voltage Vini1 on the second initialization signal line is transmitted to the first electrode of the second storage capacitor C2 via the second initialization transistor Q4. The third power supply voltage ELVDD on the third power line L3 is transmitted to the second electrode of the second storage capacitor C2 (i.e., the gate of the drive transistor Q1) via the first light control transistor Q5 and the compensation transistor Q2, thereby initializing the second storage capacitor C2. At this point, the potential at the second electrode of the drive transistor Q1 changes with the displayed grayscale of the previous frame. Since the gate of the drive transistor Q1 is reset to the high potential of the third power supply voltage ELVDD, the drive transistor Q1 is turned on.

[0136] During threshold voltage compensation phase t2, the fourth scan signal on the fourth scan line is low, the fifth scan signal on the fifth scan line is high, and the sixth scan signal on the sixth scan line is high. The first light-emission control signal EM1 on the first light-emission control signal line is low, and the second light-emission control signal EM2 on the second light-emission control signal line is low. Consequently, the compensation transistor Q2, the second initialization transistor Q4, the third initialization transistor Q7, and the fourth initialization transistor Q8 are turned on. The second electrode of the drive transistor Q1 is reset to the third initialization voltage VEH on the third initialization signal line, and the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 is reset to the fourth initialization voltage Vini2 on the fourth initialization signal line. The compensation transistor Q2 remains on, and the drive transistor Q1 maintains a diode connection. The gate of the drive transistor Q1 discharges through the compensation transistor Q2 and the third initialization transistor Q7 until the gate of the drive transistor Q1 reaches VEH + VTH1. At this point, the drive transistor Q1 turns off, and compensation ends. VTH1 is the threshold voltage of the drive transistor Q1.

[0137] The duration of the threshold voltage compensation phase t2 is greater than the row time, and there is a situation where multiple rows of first pixel circuits 11 are compensated simultaneously. In this embodiment, by providing multiple rows of second pixel circuits 21 in the non-display area, corresponding pixel circuit rows exist before the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row and / or after the first pixel circuit 11 in the last row. When the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row and / or the last pixel circuit 11 in the last row are compensated, the pixel circuit rows that are compensated simultaneously with the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row and / or the last pixel circuit 11 are padded to n rows, thereby compensating the compensation current of the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row and / or the last pixel circuit 11. This ensures that the compensation current corresponding to the first pixel circuit 11 in the first row and / or the last pixel circuit 11 is consistent with the compensation current corresponding to the first pixel circuit 11 in the other intermediate rows, thereby achieving consistent threshold voltage compensation effects for the first pixel circuits 11 in each row of the display area AA, thereby avoiding display abnormalities in the first row of pixels in the display area AA.

[0138] Optionally, the fourth initialization signal line may be multiplexed as the third initialization signal line to reduce the number of signal lines.

[0139] In the data writing phase t3, the fourth scan signal on the fourth scan line is high, the fifth scan signal on the fifth scan line is low, the sixth scan signal on the sixth scan line is high, the first light control signal EM1 on the first light control signal line is low, and the second light control signal EM2 on the second light control signal line is low. Therefore, the data writing transistor Q3, the third initialization transistor Q7, and the fourth initialization transistor Q8 are turned on, and the first electrode of the second storage capacitor C2 jumps from the second initialization voltage Vini1 to the data voltage Vdata. Under the coupling effect of the second storage capacitor C2, the gate voltage of the driving transistor Q1 changes by k*(Vdata-Vini1), where k=c2 / (c2+c0), c2 is the capacitance of the second storage capacitor C2, and C0 is other capacitance (e.g., coupling capacitance) on the gate of the driving transistor Q1. At this time, the gate voltage of the driving transistor Q1 becomes VEH+VTH1+k*(Vdata-Vini1), and the voltage at the second electrode of the driving transistor Q1 remains at the third initialization voltage VEH.

[0140] During light-emitting phase t4, the fourth scan signal on the fourth scan line is low, the fifth scan signal on the fifth scan line is low, and the sixth scan signal on the sixth scan line is low. The first light-emission control signal EM1 on the first light-emission control signal line is high, and the second light-emission control signal EM2 on the second light-emission control signal line is high. Consequently, the first light-emission control transistor Q5 and the second light-emission control transistor Q6 are turned on, forming a current loop between the third power line L3 and the fourth power line L4. The driver transistor Q1 generates a drive current I, which drives the light-emitting diode D1 to emit light. At this time, the voltage at the first electrode of the light-emitting diode D1 changes from Vini2 to ELVSS+VD1. When the fourth initialization voltage Vini2 is reused as the third initialization voltage VEH, that is, VEH=Vini2, the voltage at the second electrode of the driving transistor Q1 also changes from Vini2 to ELVSS+VD1. According to the principle that the voltage difference across the capacitor remains unchanged, the gate voltage of the driving transistor Q1 becomes VEH+VTH1+k*(Vdata-Vini1)+k*(ELVSS+VD1-Vini2)=Vini2+VTH1+k*(Vdata-Vini1)+k*(ELVSS+VD1-Vini2). Ignoring other capacitances at the gate of the driving transistor Q1, when k is equal to 1 or approximately equal to 1, the above formula becomes VTH1+Vdata-Vini1+ELVSS+VD1, that is, the gate voltage of the driving transistor Q1 is VTH1+Vdata-Vini1+ELVSS+VD1.

[0141] Among them, the driving current I can be expressed as:

[0142]

[0143] Wherein, μ is the electron mobility of the driving transistor Q1, Cox is the channel capacitance per unit area of ​​the driving transistor Q1, W / L is the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor Q1, VTH1 is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor Q1, and VD1 is the voltage drop of the light-emitting diode D1.

[0144] The third power line L3 connected to the first pixel circuit 11 provided in this embodiment can be reused as the first power line L1 connected to the second pixel circuit 21, and the fourth power line L4 can also be reused as the second power line L2. Of course, there can also be four independent power lines.
