[0048] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the pixel circuit includes a driving transistor T0, a first storage unit 110, a threshold compensation unit 120 and a data writing unit 130; the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first storage unit 110 and the first end of the threshold compensation unit 120, the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the second end of the threshold compensation unit 120 and the data writing unit 130, the data writing unit 130 is used to write the data voltage into the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the threshold compensation unit 120, the second gate BG of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first potential terminal V1, the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS, and the first potential provided by the first potential terminal V1 is adjustable.

[0050] Specifically, Figure 1 It is exemplarily shown that the driving transistor T0 is an N-type transistor. Exemplarily, the driving transistor T0 may be an oxide transistor. The driving transistor T0 may be a four-port device. In some embodiments, the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 may be a top gate, and the second gate BG of the driving transistor T0 may be a bottom gate. Alternatively, the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 may be a bottom gate, and the second gate BG of the driving transistor T0 may be a top gate. The first voltage input terminal VSS may provide a first voltage signal with a fixed potential, such as a low-level voltage. When the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS, the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 may input a first voltage signal with a fixed potential. The second gate BG of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first potential terminal V1. When the first potential provided by the first potential terminal V1 is adjustable, the voltage difference between the second gate BG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 may be adjusted, thereby adjusting the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0. Exemplarily, Figure 2A schematic diagram of a simulation curve of a voltage difference between the second gate and the second electrode of a driving transistor and a threshold voltage of the first gate of the driving transistor provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The horizontal axis is the voltage difference V between the first gate TG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0. GS The ordinate is the current I between the first electrode d and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 DS Different curves correspond to different voltage differences V between the second gate BG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0. BS On the basis that the channel width and length of the driving transistor T0 are fixed and the voltage difference between the first electrode d and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is unchanged, the smaller the voltage difference between the second gate BG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0, the greater the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0. Exemplarily, Figure 2 The channel length L of the driving transistor T0 is 10 μm, the channel width W is 20 μm, and the voltage difference V between the first electrode d and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is DS =5.1V as an example, the voltage difference V between the second gate BG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is obtained by simulation BS Relationship with the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0.

[0051] The control end of the threshold compensation unit 120 is connected to the light emitting control signal input end EM, the first end of the data writing unit 130 is connected to the data voltage input end DATA, the second end of the data writing unit 130 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, the control end of the data writing unit 130 is connected to the first scanning signal input end S1, the first end of the first storage unit 110 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, and the second end of the first storage unit 110 is connected to the first voltage input end VSS. Before the threshold compensation stage of the pixel circuit operation, the driving transistor T0 is in a conducting state. In the threshold compensation stage of the pixel circuit operation, the light emitting control signal provided by the light emitting control signal input end EM controls the threshold compensation unit 120 to be in a connected state, and the threshold compensation unit 120 connects the first gate TG and the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, so that the threshold compensation unit 120 can compensate the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 by a diode compensation method, so that the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is discharged to the first voltage input end VSS through the threshold compensation unit 120 and the driving transistor T0 until the driving transistor T0 is turned off. At this time, the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is the sum of the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first voltage signal, and is stored in the first storage unit 110 to achieve threshold voltage compensation of the driving transistor T0. In the data writing stage of the pixel circuit, the first scanning signal provided by the first scanning signal input terminal S1 controls the data writing unit 130 to write the data voltage into the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the threshold compensation unit 120, so that the driving transistor T0 forms a driving current according to the data voltage and the threshold voltage stored in the first storage unit 110, and then outputs it to the light-emitting device corresponding to the pixel circuit to drive the light-emitting device to emit light. In the manufacturing process of the pixel circuit, due to process errors and other reasons, the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 can be positive or negative. When the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is a negative value, the first potential can be adjusted so that the voltage difference between the second gate BG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is a negative value, thereby adjusting the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 to a positive value, so that the threshold compensation unit 120 can still use a diode compensation method to compensate for the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, thereby increasing the threshold compensation range of the pixel circuit and improving display uniformity.

[0052] The technical solution of this embodiment is to connect the second gate of the driving transistor to the first potential terminal, and the first potential provided by the first potential terminal is adjustable. When the threshold voltage of the first gate of the driving transistor is negative, the voltage difference between the second gate of the driving transistor and the second electrode can be adjusted to be negative by adjusting the first potential, so as to adjust the threshold voltage of the first gate of the driving transistor to be positive. The threshold compensation unit can still use the diode compensation method to compensate the threshold voltage of the first gate of the driving transistor, thereby increasing the threshold compensation range of the pixel circuit and improving the display uniformity.

[0053] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the pixel circuit also includes a first initialization unit 140 and a second storage unit 150; the first initialization unit 140 and the data writing unit 130 are connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 through the second storage unit 150, the first initialization unit 140 and the data writing unit 130 are turned on in time-sharing, the first initialization unit 140 writes the first initialization signal to the second storage unit 150, and the data writing unit 130 writes the data voltage to the second storage unit 150; the second storage unit 150 is used to couple the data voltage after initialization according to the first initialization signal.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the first end of the first initialization unit 140 is connected to the first initialization signal input terminal Vint, the second end of the first initialization unit 140 is connected to the first end n of the second storage unit 150, the control end of the first initialization unit 140 is connected to the second scan signal input terminal S2, and the second end of the second storage unit 150 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0. In the initialization stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal input terminal S2 controls the first initialization unit 140 to write the first initialization signal into the first end n of the second storage unit 150, and initializes the first end n of the second storage unit 150. At the same time, in the threshold compensation stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the first initialization unit 140 can continue to fix the potential of the first end n of the second storage unit 150 to the first initialization signal, so that when the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is discharged through the threshold compensation unit 120, the potential of the first end n of the second storage unit 150 can be fixed. In the data writing phase of the pixel circuit operation, the data writing unit 130 writes the data voltage into the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150, so that the potential of the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150 jumps from the first initialization signal to the data voltage, and the coupling effect of the second storage unit 150 causes the potential of the first pole d of the driving transistor T0 to jump at the same time, and is transmitted to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the threshold compensation unit 120, so that the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 simultaneously includes the data voltage and the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0. Since the first initialization unit 140 and the data writing unit 130 transmit the first initialization signal and the data voltage to the first terminal n of the second storage unit 160 in a time-sharing manner, the threshold compensation phase and the data writing phase of the pixel circuit can be separated. At this time, the time for the first initialization unit 140 to transmit the first initialization signal can be adjusted according to the compensation time required by the pixel circuit, so that the compensation requirements of the pixel circuit can be met and the display uniformity can be improved. When the display panel includes multiple rows of pixel circuits, the first initialization units 140 in different rows of pixel circuits can share the compensation time, which is conducive to the display panel to achieve high resolution and high refresh rate on the basis of meeting the compensation requirements of the pixel circuit. In the light emitting stage of the pixel circuit, the driving transistor T0 forms a driving current according to the potential of the first gate TG and the potential of the second electrode s, and drives the light emitting device to emit light.

[0055] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the pixel circuit also includes a second initialization unit 160, a third initialization unit 170 and a light emitting control unit 180; the second initialization unit 160 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, and the second initialization unit 170 is used to initialize the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first storage unit 110, and initialize the second storage unit 150 through the threshold compensation unit 120; the third initialization unit 170 is connected to the cathode of the light emitting device D1, the anode of the light emitting device D1 is connected to the second voltage input terminal VDD, and the third initialization unit 170 is used to initialize the cathode of the light emitting device D1; the light emitting control unit 180 is connected between the cathode of the light emitting device D1 and the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, and the light emitting control unit 180 is used to control the current path.

[0056] Specifically, the first end of the second initialization unit 160 is connected to the second initialization signal input terminal VREF1, the second end of the second initialization unit 160 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, the first end of the third initialization unit 170 is connected to the second potential terminal V2, the second end of the third initialization unit 170 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, and the control end of the second initialization unit 160 and the control end of the third initialization unit 170 are connected to the third scanning signal input terminal S3. In the initialization stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the light emission control signal controls the threshold compensation unit 120 to be in a connected state, and the third scanning signal provided by the third scanning signal input terminal S3 controls the second initialization unit 160 to output the second initialization signal to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first electrode of the first storage unit 110, and at the same time, the first initialization unit 140 is initialized on the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 and the second end of the second storage unit 150 through the threshold compensation unit 120. At the same time, the second scanning signal controls the first initialization unit 140 to output the first initialization signal to the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150, so that the driving transistor T0 is in the on state, and the potentials of both ends of the first storage unit 110 and the second storage unit 150 are fixed. In addition, the second potential provided by the second potential terminal V2 is transmitted to the cathode of the light-emitting device D1 through the third initialization unit 170, and the cathode potential of the light-emitting device D1 is reset, which can improve the ghosting phenomenon of the display panel.

[0057] The first end of the light-emitting control unit 180 is connected to the cathode of the light-emitting device D1, the second end of the light-emitting control unit 180 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, and the control end of the light-emitting control unit 180 is connected to the light-emitting control signal input end EM. In the light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit, the light-emitting control signal provided by the light-emitting control signal input end EM controls the light-emitting control unit 180 to be in a connected state, so that the driving current provided by the driving transistor T0 can be output to the light-emitting device D1 through the light-emitting control unit 180, so that the light-emitting device D1 emits light. Moreover, when the driving transistor T0 forms the driving current, the potential of the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is a fixed potential, which is independent of the cross-voltage of the light-emitting device D1, so that the equivalent impedance of the light-emitting device D1 can be avoided from affecting the driving current, that is, the influence of factors such as the process uniformity and life of the light-emitting device D1 on the driving current is avoided, and the display uniformity is further improved.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second potential is adjustable. When the second potential resets the cathode potential of the light emitting device D1 in the initialization phase, the voltage difference between the anode and cathode of the light emitting device D1 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the first frame brightness of the display panel.

[0059] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the first storage unit 110 includes a first capacitor C1 , a first electrode of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 , and a second electrode of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS.

[0060] Specifically, the first voltage provided by the first voltage input terminal VSS can fix the potential of the second electrode of the first capacitor C1. The first electrode of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0. In the initialization stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the second initialization unit 160 initializes the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first electrode of the first capacitor C1, so that the potential of the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 is the second initialization signal, so that the voltage difference between the two electrodes of the first capacitor C1 is the difference between the second initialization signal and the first voltage. In the threshold compensation stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is discharged to the first voltage input terminal VSS through the threshold compensation unit 120 and the driving transistor T0, until the potential difference between the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is the threshold voltage, that is, the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, and the driving transistor T0 is turned off. At this time, the first capacitor C1 maintains the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, and the threshold voltage compensation of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is realized.

[0061] Continue to refer Figure 5The threshold compensation unit 120 includes a first transistor T1, a first electrode of the first transistor T1 serves as a first end of the threshold compensation unit 120, a second electrode of the first transistor T1 serves as a second end of the threshold compensation unit 120, and a gate of the first transistor T1 is connected to the light emitting control signal input terminal EM.

[0062] Specifically, Figure 5 In the example, the first transistor T1 is shown as an N-type transistor. When the light-emitting control signal provided by the light-emitting control signal input terminal EM is at a high level, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and when the light-emitting control signal is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned off. In the initialization stage, the threshold compensation stage and the data writing stage of the pixel circuit, the light-emitting control signal controls the first transistor T1 to be turned on, so that the first gate TG and the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 are connected, so that the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 can be initialized by the second initialization unit 160 through the first transistor T1 in the initialization stage, the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is diode-connected through the first transistor T1 in the threshold compensation stage, and the data writing unit 130 writes the data voltage into the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the second storage unit 150 and the first transistor T1 in the data writing stage. In some embodiments, the first transistor T1 can also be a P-type transistor, in which case the light-emitting control signal can be controlled to be at a low level in the initialization stage, the threshold compensation stage and the data writing stage to control the first transistor T1 to be turned on, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 5The second transistor T2 is exemplarily shown as an N-type transistor. When the first scan signal provided by the first scan signal input terminal S1 is at a high level, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and when the first scan signal is at a low level, the second transistor T2 is turned off. In the data writing stage of the pixel circuit, the first scan signal is at a high level, and the data voltage provided by the data voltage input terminal DATA is output to the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150 through the second transistor T2. The potential of the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150 jumps from the first initialization signal to the data voltage, and after the coupling of the second storage unit 150, it is output to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the first transistor T1, thereby realizing the writing of the data voltage. In some embodiments, the second transistor T2 can also be a P-type transistor. At this time, the first scan signal can be controlled to be a low level in the data writing stage to control the second transistor T2 to be turned on, which will not be repeated here.

[0065] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the first initialization unit 140 includes a third transistor T3, a first electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first initialization signal input terminal Vint, a second electrode of the third transistor T3 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 through the second storage unit 150, and a gate of the third transistor T3 is connected to the second scan signal input terminal S2.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 6 The third transistor T3 is exemplarily shown as an N-type transistor. When the second scan signal provided by the second scan signal input terminal S2 is at a high level, the third transistor T3 is turned on. When the second scan signal is at a low level, the third transistor T3 is turned off. In the initialization stage and the threshold compensation stage of the pixel circuit, the second scan signal is at a high level, and the third transistor T3 is controlled to be turned on. The first initialization signal is transmitted to the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150 through the third transistor T3, so that the potential of the first terminal n of the second storage unit 150 can be fixed, so that the potential change at both ends of the second storage unit 150 can be determined in the data writing stage. In some embodiments, the third transistor T3 can also be a P-type transistor. In this case, the second scan signal can be controlled to be at a low level in the data writing stage to control the third transistor T3 to be turned on, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] Continue to refer Figure 6 The second storage unit 150 includes a second capacitor C2, and the first initialization unit 140 and the data writing unit 130 are connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 through the second capacitor C2.

[0068] Specifically, the first electrode of the second capacitor C2 serves as the first terminal n of the first initialization unit 140, connected to the second terminal of the data writing unit 130 and the second terminal of the first initialization unit 140, and the second electrode of the second capacitor C2 serves as the second terminal of the first initialization unit 140, connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0. The second capacitor C2 has a coupling effect, and when the potential of the first electrode of the second capacitor C2 jumps from the first initialization signal to the data voltage, the potential of the second electrode of the second capacitor C2 also jumps, so that the data voltage can be coupled to the second electrode of the second capacitor C2, and then transmitted to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 through the threshold compensation unit 120, so that the data voltage can be written into the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, thereby realizing the writing of the data voltage.

[0069] Figure 7 A timing diagram of a scanning signal provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, s1 is a timing diagram of a first scanning signal, s21 is a timing diagram of a second scanning signal corresponding to a row of pixel circuits, and s22 is a timing diagram of a second scanning signal corresponding to the next row of pixel circuits. Figure 7 As shown, in one frame, the effective level of the second scanning signal provided by the second scanning signal input terminal S2 is earlier than the effective level of the first scanning signal provided by the first scanning signal input terminal S1.

[0070] Specifically, the third transistor T3 and the second transistor T2 are both N-type transistors for example. At this time, the effective levels of the second scanning signal and the first scanning signal are both high. In the initialization stage and the threshold compensation stage of the pixel circuit, the second scanning signal is high, and the first scanning signal is low, so that the third transistor T3 is turned on, the second transistor T2 is turned off, and the first pole potential of the second capacitor C2 is maintained as the first initialization signal. In the data writing stage, the first scanning signal is high, and the second scanning signal is low, so that the second transistor T2 is turned on, the third transistor T3 is turned off, and the first pole potential of the second capacitor C2 jumps to the data voltage, realizing the writing of the data voltage. By setting the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 to be controlled by different scanning signals, the threshold compensation stage and the data writing stage of the pixel circuit can be separated, so that the time of the threshold compensation stage can be adjusted according to the threshold compensation requirements, which is conducive to improving the threshold compensation effect of the pixel circuit.

[0071] Continue to refer Figure 7 , the effective level start time of the second scanning signal corresponding to the previous row of pixel circuits is one row earlier than the effective level start time of the second scanning signal corresponding to the current row of pixel circuits.

[0072] Specifically, the display panel may include multiple rows of pixel circuits. One frame time may include each row scanning time and vertical blanking. The second scanning signals corresponding to different rows of pixel circuits are shifted row by row, so that the time difference of the effective level of the second scanning signals corresponding to different rows of pixel circuits is only the scanning time of one row of pixel circuits, so that the second scanning signals of different rows of pixel circuits share part of the compensation time, which is conducive to achieving high resolution and high refresh rate of the display panel.

[0073] In some embodiments, the effective level time of the second scanning signal is adjustable, so that when the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 changes, the effective level time of the second scanning signal can be adjusted to ensure that the time of the threshold compensation stage meets the threshold voltage compensation requirements, thereby improving the display uniformity of the display panel.

[0074] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the second initialization unit 160 includes a fourth transistor T4; a first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the second initialization signal input terminal VREF2, a second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, and a gate of the fourth transistor T4 is connected to the third scan signal input terminal S3.

[0075] Specifically, Figure 8 The fourth transistor T4 is exemplarily shown as an N-type transistor. When the third scan signal provided by the third scan signal input terminal S3 is at a high level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on. When the third scan signal is at a low level, the fourth transistor T4 is turned off. In the initialization stage of the pixel circuit operation, the third scan signal is at a high level, and the fourth transistor T4 is controlled to be turned on. The fourth transistor T4 outputs the second initialization signal provided by the second output signal input terminal VREF2 to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first pole of the first capacitor C1, and initializes the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first pole of the first capacitor C1. At the same time, the light emitting control signal controls the first transistor T1 to be turned on, so that the fourth transistor T4 initializes the first pole d of the driving transistor T0 through the first transistor T1, and realizes the initialization of the first capacitor C1, the first gate TG and the first pole d of the driving transistor T0. In some embodiments, the fourth transistor T4 can also be a P-type transistor. At this time, the third scan signal can be controlled to be at a low level in the initialization stage to control the fourth transistor T4 to be turned on, which will not be repeated here.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second initialization signal provided by the second initialization signal input terminal VREF2 is greater than the sum of the first voltage provided by the first voltage input terminal VSS and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T0 .

[0077] Specifically, in the initialization stage, the potential of the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is the first voltage, and the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is the second initialization signal. By setting the second initialization signal to be greater than the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T0, the driving transistor T0 can be turned on after the initialization stage, so that the driving transistor T0 can be discharged to the first voltage input terminal VSS in the threshold compensation stage to achieve threshold compensation of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0.

[0078] Continue to refer Figure 8 The third initialization unit 170 includes a fifth transistor T5, a first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the second potential terminal V2, a second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the cathode of the light emitting device D1, and a gate of the fifth transistor T5 is connected to the third scan signal input terminal S3.

[0079] Specifically, Figure 8 The fifth transistor T5 is exemplarily shown as an N-type transistor. When the third scan signal input terminal S3 is at a high level, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and when the third scan signal input terminal S3 is at a low level, the fifth transistor T5 is turned off. The second potential provided by the second potential terminal V2 can be a fixed potential. The anode of the light-emitting device D1 is connected to the second voltage input terminal VDD, so that the anode potential of the light-emitting device D1 is the second voltage. In the initialization stage of the operation of the pixel circuit, the third scan signal is at a high level, which controls the fifth transistor T5 to be turned on, and the fifth transistor T5 outputs the second potential provided by the second potential terminal V2 to the cathode of the light-emitting device D1, so that the cathode potential of the light-emitting device D1 is greater than the difference between the second voltage and the on-voltage of the light-emitting device D1, so that the light-emitting device D1 can be turned off to prevent the light-emitting device D1 from being lit secretly.

[0080] Fig. 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 As shown, the second voltage input terminal VDD is multiplexed as the second potential terminal V2.

[0081] Specifically, when the second voltage input terminal VDD is multiplexed as the second potential terminal V2, the cathode potential of the light emitting device D1 is equal to the anode potential, and the light emitting device D1 can also be turned off. At the same time, it can avoid setting up additional signal lines corresponding to the second potential terminal V2, which is conducive to simplifying the wiring of the display panel.

[0082] Continue to refer Fig. 9 The light emitting control unit 180 includes a sixth transistor T6, a gate of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the light emitting control signal input terminal EM, a first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the cathode of the light emitting device D1, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is connected to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0.

[0083] Specifically, the type of the sixth transistor T6 is different from that of the first transistor T1. When the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the sixth transistor T6 are both connected to the light emitting control signal input terminal EM, the first transistor T1 and the sixth transistor T6 can be controlled to be turned on in time-sharing mode to meet the working requirements of the pixel circuit. Fig. 9 The first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor and the sixth transistor T6 is a P-type transistor. In the light-emitting stage of the pixel circuit, the light-emitting control signal provided by the light-emitting control signal input terminal EM is at a low level, the first transistor T1 is turned off, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and the driving current provided by the driving transistor T0 can be transmitted to the light-emitting device D1 through the sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting device D1 to emit light.

[0084] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the gate of the first transistor T1 and the gate of the sixth transistor T6 can be connected to different signal input terminals respectively. In this case, the types of the first transistor T1 and the sixth transistor T6 can be matched with the signals provided by the correspondingly connected signal input terminals respectively, thereby meeting the requirements of the pixel circuit.

[0085] Fig.10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.10 As shown, the pixel circuit further includes a potential fixing unit 190 , through which the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS, and the potential fixing unit 190 is used to fix the potential of the second electrode of the driving transistor T0 .

[0086] Specifically, the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS through the potential fixing unit 190. In the initialization stage and the threshold compensation stage, the first voltage can be controlled to be provided to the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 through the potential fixing unit 190, so that the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 has a fixed potential, thereby improving the initialization and threshold compensation effects of the driving transistor T0. In the light-emitting stage, the potential fixing unit 190 can also conduct the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 and the first voltage input terminal VSS, so that the driving current of the driving transistor T0 has a current loop between the first voltage input terminal VSS and the second voltage input terminal VDD, and drives the light-emitting device D1 to emit light.

[0087] Continue to refer Fig.10 The potential fixing unit 190 includes a seventh transistor T7, a first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first voltage input terminal VSS, a second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0, and a gate of the seventh transistor T7 is connected to the first scanning signal input terminal S1.

[0088] Specifically, the type of the seventh transistor T7 is different from that of the second transistor T2. When the gate of the seventh transistor T7 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are both connected to the first scan signal input terminal S1, the seventh transistor T7 and the second transistor T2 can be controlled to be turned on in time-sharing mode to meet the working requirements of the pixel circuit. Fig.10 It is exemplarily shown that the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor and the seventh transistor T7 is a P-type transistor. In the initialization stage and the threshold compensation stage, the first scanning signal is at a low level, so that the second transistor T2 is turned off and the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, which can not only control the potential of the second pole s of the driving transistor T0 to be fixed, but also avoid the data voltage from being written to the first end of the second capacitor C2. In the data writing stage, the first scanning signal is at a high level, so that the second transistor T2 is turned on and the seventh transistor T7 is turned off, and the data voltage can be written to the first pole of the second capacitor C2 through the second transistor T2. In the light-emitting stage, the first scanning signal is at a low level, so that the second transistor T2 is turned off and the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the seventh transistor T7 can provide a current loop between the first voltage input terminal VSS and the second pole s of the driving transistor T0 for the driving current provided by the driving transistor T0.

[0089] Fig.11 The following is a signal timing diagram of a pixel circuit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, s1 is a timing diagram of the first scanning signal, s2 is a timing diagram of the second scanning signal, s3 is a timing diagram of the third scanning signal, and em is a timing diagram of the light emitting control signal. Fig.10 and Fig.11 Describe the working process of the pixel circuit.

[0090] In the initialization stage t1, the first scanning signal is at a low level, the second scanning signal is at a high level, the third scanning signal is at a high level, and the light-emitting control signal is at a high level. At this time, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the second transistor T2 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. The first initialization signal is transmitted to the first electrode of the second capacitor C2 through the third transistor T3, and the second initialization signal is transmitted to the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 and the first electrode of the first capacitor C1 through the fourth transistor T4, and is transmitted to the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0 through the first transistor T1, that is, the second electrode of the second capacitor C2, so as to initialize the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the first gate TG and the first electrode d of the driving transistor T0, and the driving transistor T0 is in a conducting state.

[0091] In the threshold compensation stage t2, the first scanning signal is at a low level, the second scanning signal is at a high level, the third scanning signal is at a low level, and the light emitting control signal is at a high level. At this time, the first transistor T1, the third transistor T3 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6 are turned off. The first initialization signal continues to be transmitted to the first pole of the second capacitor C2 through the third transistor T3, and the first pole potential of the second capacitor C2 is maintained unchanged. At the same time, the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is discharged to the first voltage input terminal VSS through the first transistor T1, the driving transistor T0 and the seventh transistor T7, until the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is the sum of the first voltage and the threshold voltage of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, that is, Vth+Vss, where Vss is the first voltage. The driving transistor T0 is turned off. The first capacitor C1 stores the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0.

[0092] In the data writing stage t3, the first scanning signal is at a high level, the second scanning signal is at a low level, the third scanning signal is at a low level, and the light emitting control signal is at a high level. At this time, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are turned on, and the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. The data voltage is written into the first electrode of the second capacitor C2 through the second transistor T2, and the potential of the first electrode of the second capacitor C2 jumps from the first initialization signal to the data voltage. At the same time, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is connected to the second electrode of the second capacitor C2. Through the coupling effect of the second capacitor C2, the potential Vtg of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0 is made to be Vss+Vth+c2 / (c2+c1)×(Vdata-vint); wherein c1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor C1, c2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2, Vdata is the data voltage provided by the data voltage input terminal DATA, and vint is the first initialization signal.

[0093] In the light-emitting stage t4, the first scanning signal is at a low level, the second scanning signal is at a low level, the third scanning signal is at a low level, and the light-emitting control signal is at a low level. At this time, the sixth transistor T6 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned on, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off. The potential of the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0 is the first voltage, the driving transistor T0 is turned on, and a driving current is formed according to the voltage difference between the first gate TG and the second electrode s. Driving current I = 1 / 2*u×Cox×W / L×(Vgs-Vth) 2 =1 / 2*u×Cox×W / L×(Vg-Vs-Vth) 2=1 / 2*u×Cox×W / L×(c2 / (c1+c2)×(Vdata-vint)) 2 . Wherein, Vg is the potential of the first gate TG of the driving transistor T0, Vs is the potential of the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0, Vgs is the potential difference between the first gate TG and the second electrode s of the driving transistor T0, and u is the average drift speed of the carriers in the driving transistor T0 under a unit electric field. Cox is the channel capacitance per unit area of ​​the driving transistor T0. W / L is the channel width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor T0. It can be seen from the formula of the driving current that the driving current is not affected by the first voltage and the second voltage, and is not affected by the conduction voltage drop of the light-emitting device D1, thereby improving the stability of the driving current and thus improving the display consistency of the display panel. After the driving transistor T0 forms the driving current, the driving current is transmitted to the light-emitting device D1 through the sixth transistor T6, driving the light-emitting device D1 to emit light.
