In OLED display processes, the display module is typically divided into write frames and hold frames. Write frames are used for data writing and storage, while hold frames do not write data; instead, they control light emission through stored signals. Therefore, in hold frames, some signals are converted from AC clock signals to DC clock signals.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] The serial numbers assigned to components in this article, such as "first" and "second", are used only to distinguish the objects being described and have no sequential or technical meaning.

[0041] First, before introducing the technical solutions of the embodiments disclosed in this application, the background technology or technological evolution on which the embodiments of this application are based will be introduced. In the OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display industry, the pursuit of image quality has never stopped, and screen refresh rates have repeatedly broken new records. In addition, screen power consumption reduction is also ongoing, with breakthroughs in low-frequency displays and continuous reductions in screen logic power consumption. In the OLED display process, the display module is typically divided into write frames and hold frames. Write frames are used for data writing and storage, while in hold frames, no data is written; the stored signals control the pixel units to emit light. Therefore, in hold frames, some signals are converted from AC clock signals to DC signals, reducing the power consumption of the control chip (IC) and the screen. Conventionally, as... Figure 1 The 7T1C display circuit shown exhibits a brightness variation, i.e., screen flickering, during low-frequency display when the output transistor is subjected to prolonged differential pressure. This difference in output current between the write and hold frames causes variations in brightness. Figure 2 As shown. The low-frequency display circuit 8T1C is as follows. Figure 3 As shown, or other circuits with transistor source reset functionality, offer better display performance at low frequencies. By continuously resetting the potential of the output transistor source, the output current of the write frame and the hold frame are kept consistent, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Since the timing of the low-frequency pixel circuit is divided into write frames and hold frames, additional control signals or clock signals are needed to reset the source voltage of the transistors. This is to prevent differences in current output between write frames and hold frames under long-term low-frequency stress, which could lead to brightness differences between different frames. However, the operating states of the control signals and clock signals for write frames and hold frames are inconsistent. For example, during a write frame, all clock signals of the pixel circuit are AC signals; during a hold frame, the clock signal controlling the data writing of the pixel circuit is changed to a continuous high-potential DC signal. The additional clock signal still needs to output an AC signal to reset the transistor stress state, which means the additional control signal clock signal cannot be shared with the original signal. Traditional technology adds an additional driving circuit to output the new clock signal or control signal. However, this increases the bezel size of the display panel, which is not conducive to the trend of narrow bezels, causing insufficient space or compressing the line width and spacing, increasing impedance and power consumption. To address this, this application provides a driving circuit.

[0042] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the technical problem are described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, a driving circuit 10 is provided, including a control module 100, a first output module 200, and a second output module 300; the second output module 300 includes a first output submodule 310 and a first control submodule 320; the control module 100 is connected to both the first output module 200 and the first output submodule 310, and is also connected to the first control submodule 320, which is also connected to the first output submodule 310.

[0044] The control module 100 is used to control the first output module 200 to output a first signal under the control of the first input signal, the clock signal, and the first control signal, and to control the second output module 300 to output a second signal under the control of the first input signal, the clock signal, the first control signal, and the second control signal, together with the first control submodule 320; the first signal and the second signal have different frequencies.

[0045] The control module 100 includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The first output submodule 310 includes two control terminals, and the first control submodule 320 includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of the control module 100 is connected to the first output module 200. The second terminal of the control module 100 is connected to one control terminal of the first output submodule 310. The third terminal of the control module 100 is connected to the first terminal of the first control submodule 320. The other control terminal of the first output submodule 310 is connected to the second terminal of the first control submodule 320.

[0046] The first input signal, clock signal, first control signal, and second control signal can all be periodic pulse signals. Multiple clock signals can be input to the control module 100. After inputting the first input signal, clock signal, and first control signal into the control module 100, the control module 100 controls the first output module 200 to output the first signal (out1), and simultaneously inputs the second control signal to the first control submodule 320, so that the control module 100 and the first control submodule 320 simultaneously control the second output module 300 to output the second signal (out2). That is, the drive circuit 10 includes two output terminals, which respectively output the first signal and the second signal. Through the control of the control module 100 and the first control submodule 320, the frequencies of the output first signal and the second signal are different. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the control module 100, the first output module 200, the first output submodule 310, and the first control submodule 320, as long as their functions can be achieved.

[0047] In other words, during the write frame, the control module 100 controls the first output module 200 to input a first signal to the pixel circuit via the input first input signal, clock signal, and first control signal. During the hold frame, the control module 100 and the first control submodule 320 control the second output module 300 to input a second signal to the pixel circuit via the input first input signal, clock signal, first control signal, and second control signal, thus enabling the write frame and hold frame to output signals of different frequencies.

[0048] The driving circuit 10 provided in this embodiment includes a control module 100, a first output module 200, and a second output module 300. The second output module 300 includes a first output submodule 310 and a first control submodule 320.

The control module 100 is used to control the first output module 200 to output a first signal under the control of a first input signal, a clock signal, and a first control signal, and to control the second output module 300 to output a second signal under the control of the first input signal, the clock signal, the first control signal, and the second control signal, together with the first control submodule 320. The first signal and the second signal have different frequencies. The driving circuit 10 provided in this embodiment includes two output modules (a first output module 200 and a second output module 300). Under the control of a first input signal, a clock signal, a first control signal, and a second control signal, the control module 100 can control the two output modules to output first and second signals with different frequencies respectively. This allows for the resetting of the transistor source potential in the low-frequency pixel circuit without adding an additional signal generation circuit to generate additional control or clock signals, thus improving the low-frequency display effect.
