[0144] In the initialization stage t1, the signals on the second scanning signal line Sn2 and the first scanning signal line Sn1 are sequentially changed to high level, and the signal on the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 is high level. The first transistor T1 is turned on, and the signal on the first initialization signal line Vref1 is transmitted to the first electrode of the light-emitting device D1 and the first plate of the first capacitor C1 through the first transistor T1. The seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the power supply voltage on the power line VDD is transmitted to the second electrode of the first driving transistor DT1 and the second driving transistor DT2 through the seventh transistor T7. The second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 are turned on.
[0145] In the threshold voltage compensation stage t2, the signals on the second scanning signal line Sn2 and the first scanning signal line Sn1 remain at a high level, and the signal on the first light-emitting control signal line EM1 is at a low level.
