[0117] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other. To keep the following description of the embodiments of this disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of some known functions and components have been omitted. The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure only relate to the structures involved in the embodiments of this disclosure; other structures can be referred to in general design.
[0118] The scale of the figures in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual manufacturing processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The number of pixels in the display substrate and the number of sub-pixels in each pixel are not limited to the quantities shown in the figures. The figures described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the figures.
[0119] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.
[0120] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0121] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0122] In this specification, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode, a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between the drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain electrode) and the source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source electrode), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. Note that in this specification, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0123] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.
[0124] In this specification, the term "same-layer arrangement" refers to a structure formed by patterning two (or more) structures through the same patterning process, and their materials may be the same or different. For example, the precursors forming multiple structures in a same-layer arrangement may be made of the same material, while the final materials may be the same or different.
[0125] With the development of OLED display technology, oxide processes are frequently used in OLED display products due to their high uniformity. However, the coupling effect of partial capacitance in the pixel driving circuit fabricated using oxide processes can introduce noise during the display process, causing instability in the drive current output by the pixel driving circuit and affecting its reliability.

In any display frame, the signal of the first scan signal line G1 is a pulse signal, the signal of the second scan signal line G2 is a pulse signal, and the time period during which the second scan signal line G2 is an effective level signal occurs before the time period during which the first scan signal line G1 is an effective level signal.
[0136] This disclosure provides a pixel driving circuit, including: a driving sub-circuit, a first control sub-circuit, a second control sub-circuit, a third control sub-circuit, and a storage sub-circuit; the driving sub-circuit is electrically connected to a first node, a second node, and a third node, and is configured to provide a driving current to the third node under the control of signals from the first node and the second node; the first control sub-circuit is electrically connected to a first scan signal line, a second scan signal line, a data signal line, a reference signal line, and a first node, and is configured to provide a signal from the data signal line or the reference signal line to the first node under the control of signals from the first scan signal line and the second scan signal line; the second control sub-circuit...

This disclosure, by setting the third control sub-circuit to control the signal of the third node through the signals from the first reset signal line and the auxiliary signal line, avoids introducing noise during the display stage, maintains the stability of the drive current output by the pixel driving circuit, and improves the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.
[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation of the pixel driving circuit includes a display phase, which comprises a writing phase and a light-emitting phase. The light-emitting phase occurs after the writing phase, and the signal of the first scan signal line G1 is an active level signal during the writing phase. The signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are both active level signals during the light-emitting phase, and the writing phase occurs during a writing time period.
[0138] Figure 2 Equivalent circuit of the third control sub-circuit Figure 1 .like Figure 2 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the third control sub-circuit can also be electrically connected to the third reset signal line Reset3 and the initial signal line INIT, respectively, and is configured to provide the initial signal line signal to the fourth node N4 under the control of the signal of the third reset signal line Reset3.

[0139] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is a non-DC signal and is electrically connected to the fourth node N4.
[0140] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure enables the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 to be reset before the writing period by having the signal of the third reset signal line Reset3 be an effective level signal for a certain period of time, and the signal of the second light-emitting signal line EM2 be an effective level signal. This ensures the uniformity of the pixel driving circuit display. Furthermore, by ensuring that the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are effective level signals for at least a certain period of time after the writing period, this disclosure ensures that the voltage values of the signals across the second capacitor C2 are the same during the light-emitting phase. This avoids the influence of the second capacitor C2 on the third node N3 during the light-emitting phase, prevents the introduction of noise into the third node N3, maintains the stability of the driving current output by the pixel driving circuit, and improves the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.
[0141] Figure 3 Equivalent circuit of the third control sub-circuit Figure 2 .like Figure 3As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the third control sub-circuit can also be electrically connected to the second reset signal line Reset2, and is further configured to provide the signal of the fifth node N5 to the third node N3 under the control of the signal of the second reset signal line Reset2. Exemplarily, the third control sub-circuit may include: a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, and a second capacitor C2. The first terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the auxiliary signal line VX, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5; the control terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reset signal line Reset3, the first terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second terminal of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the third node N3; the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the third node N3.

[0143] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure allows the second reset signal line Reset2 and the second light emission signal line EM2 to be active during a portion of the time the first reset signal line Reset1 is active, enabling the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 to be reset before the writing time period, thus ensuring the display uniformity of the pixel driving circuit. Furthermore, by ensuring that the second reset signal line Reset2 is active for at least a portion of the time period after the writing time period, this disclosure ensures that the voltage values across the second capacitor C2 are the same during the light emission phase, preventing the second capacitor C2 from affecting the third node N3 during the light emission phase, avoiding the introduction of noise during the display phase, maintaining the stability of the drive current output by the pixel driving circuit, and improving the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.
[0144] Figure 4 Equivalent circuit of the third control sub-circuit Figure 3 , Figure 5 Equivalent circuit of the third control sub-circuit Figure 4 In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the third control sub-circuit can also be electrically connected to the third reset signal line Reset3 and the initial signal line INIT, respectively, and is configured to provide the initial signal line signal to the fourth node N4 under the control of the signal from the third reset signal line Reset3. Exemplarily, the third control sub-circuit can also include an eighth transistor T8, the control electrode of which is electrically connected to the third reset signal line Reset3, the first electrode of which is electrically connected to the initial signal line, and the second electrode of which is electrically connected to the fourth node N4.
[0145] In an exemplary embodiment, the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is a DC signal, and the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is the same as the signal of any one of the initial signal line, the reference signal line REF, and the first power supply line VDD; or, the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is a non-DC signal, and the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is electrically connected to the fourth node N4. Figure 4 This explanation uses the auxiliary signal line VX as an example, where the signal is a DC signal. Figure 5 This explanation is based on the example of the auxiliary signal line VX having a non-DC signal.
[0146] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the signal of the first reset signal line Reset1 is at a valid level, the signal of the third reset signal line is at a valid level, and the signal of the second reset signal line is at an invalid level. Conversely, when the signal of the second reset signal line is at a valid level, the signal of the first reset signal line is at an invalid level. This disclosure allows the second light-emitting signal line EM2 to be at a valid level for a portion of the time period after the third reset signal line Reset3 is at a valid level. This enables the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 to be reset before the writing time period, ensuring the display uniformity of the pixel driving circuit. Furthermore, by ensuring that the second reset signal line Reset2 is at a valid level for at least a portion of the time period after the writing time period, this disclosure ensures that the voltage values of the signals across the second capacitor C2 are the same during the light-emitting phase. This avoids the influence of the second capacitor C2 on the third node N3 during the light-emitting phase, prevents the introduction of noise during the display phase, maintains the stability of the driving current output by the pixel driving circuit, and improves the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.

Exemplarily, the third control sub-circuit can also include: a sixth transistor T6, an eighth transistor T8, and a second capacitor C2. The control electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the first reset signal line Reset1, the first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5, and the second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the third node N3; the control electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the third reset signal line Reset3, the first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the initial signal line INIT, and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the fourth node N4; the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the auxiliary signal line VX, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the fifth node N5.

Figure 6 This explanation uses the auxiliary signal line VX as an example, where the signal is a DC signal. Figure 7 This explanation is based on the example of the auxiliary signal line VX having a non-DC signal.
[0149] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this disclosure allows the second light-emitting signal line EM2 to be active during a certain period of time, when the signal of the third reset signal line Reset3 is active. This enables the third node N3 and the fourth node N4 to be reset before the writing period, ensuring the display uniformity of the pixel driving circuit. Furthermore, by making the first reset signal line Reset1 inactive for a period after the writing period, this disclosure prevents the second capacitor C2 from affecting the third node N3, avoiding noise introduction during the display stage, maintaining the stability of the drive current output by the pixel driving circuit, and improving the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.
[0150] In an exemplary embodiment, the initial signal line INIT continuously provides a low-level signal, and the signal of the initial signal line INIT is a DC signal.
[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, the voltage value of the initial signal line INIT can be less than the voltage value of the second power line VSS, which can prevent the light-emitting device L from emitting light erroneously and improve the reliability of the pixel driving circuit.

Since the voltage values of the signals at the first node N1 and the third node N3 are greater than the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, the third transistor T3 is turned on, and the signal of the initial signal line INIT is written to the second node N2, initializing (resetting) the signals at the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4, clearing the original charge in the second node N2, the third node N3, and the fourth node N4. The signals of the first scan signal line G1, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second reset signal line Reset2 are low-level signals, and the first transistor T1, the fourth transistor T4, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.

The data signal line Data outputs the data voltage. When the first reset signal line Reset1 is high, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and the auxiliary signal line VX continuously writes to the fifth node N5, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fifth node N5.

The first scan signal line G1 is high, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the data voltage of the data signal line Data is written to the first node N1. At this time, the voltage value of the first node N1 is V1 = Vdata, where Vdata is the data voltage of the data signal line. The signal of the first node N1 changes from the voltage value of the previous stage to the current stage. Therefore, under the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the signal of the third node N3 also changes. At this time, the voltage value of the third node N3 is V3 = Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2), where C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor. The second reset signal line Reset2, the second scan signal line G2, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are low, and the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, the fifth transistor T5, and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0174] The fourth stage, P4, is called the second reset stage. The second reset signal line Reset2, the third reset signal line Reset3, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, while the first reset signal line Reset1, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals. When the third reset signal line Reset3 is high, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the initial signal line INIT is continuously written to the fourth node N4, continuously initializing (resetting) the signals at the fourth node N4. The signal on the second light-emitting signal line EM2 is high, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the voltage of the signal at the third node N3 is V3 = Vinit, where Vinit is the initial signal line voltage value. At this time, the first node N1 is pulled low by the first capacitor C1, making the voltage of the signal at the first node N1 V1 = Vdata - [Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2)] + Vinit. The signal on the second reset signal line Reset2 is high, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the voltages of the signals at the third node N3 and the fifth node N5 are consistent.

During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0175] In the fifth stage (P5), the light-emitting stage, the signals of the second reset signal line Reset2, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, while the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals. When the signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line Reset2 are high-level signals, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on. The power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, third transistor T3, and fifth transistor T5, driving the light-emitting device L to emit light. When the signal of the second reset signal line Reset2 is high-level, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the voltages of the signals at the third node N3 and the fifth node N5 remain consistent. When the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. In this stage, the light-emitting device L emits light.
[0176] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its control electrode (also the first node N1) and its second electrode (also the third node N3). Since the voltage value of the signal at the first node is V1 = Vdata - [Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2)] + Vinit, and the voltage value of the signal at the third node N3 is V3 = Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0177] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2 =K*[Vdata-[Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C1 / (C1+C2)]-Vth] 2 =
[0178] K*[(C2 / (C1+C2))*(Vdata-Vref)] 2 .
[0179] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, and Vgs is the voltage difference between the control electrode and the second electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0180] As can be seen from the derivation of the above current formula, during the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current. This ensures uniform display brightness of the display product and improves the overall display effect of the display product.

At this time, the voltage value of the first node N1 is V1 = Vdata, where Vdata is the data voltage of the data signal line. The signal of the first node N1 changes from the voltage value of the previous stage to the current stage. Therefore, under the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the signal of the third node N3 also changes. At this time, the voltage value of the third node N3 is V3 = Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2), where C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor.

[0188] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its control electrode (also the first node N1) and its second electrode (also the third node N3). Since the voltage value of the signal at the first node is V1 = Vdata - [Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2)] + Vinit, and the voltage value of the signal at the third node N3 is V3 = Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:

During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0209] In the second stage, P2, the threshold compensation stage, the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the second scan signal line G2, and the first light emission signal line EM1 are high-level signals, while the signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the second light emission signal line EM2 are low-level signals. When the first reset signal line Reset1 is high, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and the signal of the auxiliary signal line VX is continuously written to the fifth node N5, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fifth node N5. When the third reset signal line Reset3 is high, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the signal of the initial signal line INIT is continuously written to the fourth node N4, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fourth node N4. The second scan signal line G2 is high, the second transistor T2 is turned on, the reference signal line REF is continuously supplied to the second node N2, the first light-emitting signal line EM1 is high, the fourth transistor T4 is turned on, and the signal of the first power supply line VDD is written to the third node N3 through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, the second node N2, and the turned-on third transistor T3, until the voltage of the signal at the third node N3 is V3 = Vref - Vth, where Vref is the initial voltage value of the signal line REF, and Vth is the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3. At this time, the first capacitor C1 stores the voltage difference Vth between the signals at the first node N1 and the third node N3. The signals of the first scan signal line G1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are low, and the first transistor T1 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off. During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0210] In the third stage (P3), the data writing stage, the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, and the first scan signal line G1 are high-level signals, while the signals of the second scan signal line G2, the first light emission signal line EM1, and the second light emission signal line EM2 are low-level signals. The data signal line Data outputs the data voltage. When the first reset signal line Reset1 is high, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and the auxiliary signal line VX continuously writes to the fifth node N5, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fifth node N5. When the third reset signal line Reset3 is high, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the initial signal line INIT continuously writes to the fourth node N4, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fourth node N4. The first scan signal line G1 is high, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the data voltage of the data signal line Data is written to the first node N1. At this time, the voltage value of the first node N1 is V1 = Vdata, where Vdata is the data voltage of the data signal line. The signal of the first node N1 changes from the voltage value of the previous stage to the current stage. Therefore, under the action of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, the signal of the third node N3 also changes. At this time, the voltage value of the third node N3 is V3 = Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2), where C1 is the capacitance value of the first capacitor and C2 is the capacitance value of the second capacitor. The signals of the second scan signal line G2, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are low, and the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the fifth transistor T5 are turned off. During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0211] In the fourth stage, P4, also known as the second reset stage, the third reset signal line Reset3 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, while the first reset signal line Reset1, the first light-emitting signal line EM1, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals. When the third reset signal line Reset3 is high, the eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the initial signal line INIT is continuously written to the fourth node N4, continuously initializing (resetting) the signal of the fourth node N4. When the second light-emitting signal line EM2 is high, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, and the voltage V3 of the signal at the third node N3 is Vinit, where Vinit is the voltage value of the initial signal line. At this time, the first node N1 is pulled low by the first capacitor C1, making the voltage V1 of the signal at the first node N1 = Vdata - [Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2)] + Vinit. The signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the first light emission signal line EM1, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are all at low level, and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the fourth transistor T4, and the sixth transistor T6 are disconnected. During this stage, the light-emitting device L does not emit light.
[0212] In the fifth stage (P5), the light-emitting stage, the signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line EM2 are high-level signals, while the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals. When the signals of the first light-emitting signal line EM1 and the second light-emitting signal line Reset2 are high-level signals, the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5 are turned on. The power supply voltage output from the first power line VDD provides a driving voltage to the first terminal of the light-emitting device L through the turned-on fourth transistor T4, third transistor T3, and fifth transistor T5, driving the light-emitting device L to emit light. When the signal of the first reset signal line Reset1 is high-level, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, and the voltages of the signals at the third node N3 and the fifth node N5 remain consistent. When the signals of the first reset signal line Reset1, the third reset signal line Reset3, the first scan signal line G1, and the second scan signal line G2 are low-level signals, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the sixth transistor T6, and the eighth transistor T8 are turned off. In this stage, the light-emitting device L emits light.
[0213] During the pixel driving circuit operation, the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3 (driving transistor) is determined by the voltage difference between its control electrode (also the first node N1) and its second electrode (also the third node N3). Since the voltage value of the signal at the first node is V1 = Vdata - [Vref - Vth + (Vdata - Vref) * C1 / (C1 + C2)] + Vinit, and the voltage value of the signal at the third node N3 is V3 = Vinit, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is:
[0214] I = K * (Vgs - Vth) 2 =K*[Vdata-[Vref-Vth+(Vdata-Vref)*C1 / (C1+C2)]-Vth] 2 =
[0215] K*[(C2 / (C1+C2))*(Vdata-Vref)] 2 .
[0216] Where I is the driving current flowing through the third transistor T3, which is the driving current driving the light-emitting device L, K is a constant, and Vgs is the voltage difference between the control electrode and the second electrode of the third transistor T3.
[0217] As can be seen from the derivation of the above current formula, during the light-emitting stage, the driving current of the third transistor T3 is no longer affected by the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3, thereby eliminating the influence of the threshold voltage of the third transistor T3 on the driving current. This ensures uniform display brightness of the display product and improves the overall display effect of the display product.
[0218] for Figure 13 and Figure 14 In the fourth and fifth stages of the provided pixel driving circuit, the second capacitor C2 is disconnected from the sixth transistor T6, which is disconnected from the third node N3. This ensures that the third node of the pixel driving circuit is not affected by the coupling effect of the second capacitor C2 in the fifth stage, thereby improving the stability of the driving current of the pixel driving circuit and enhancing its reliability.
