[0043] During this stage, the voltages at each node are shown in the table below:

[0044] Specifically, in the improvement phase, the voltage of the first node N1 is maintained at vint2 through the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. The voltage of the second node N1 goes high with the control signal E2. The voltage of the third node N3 is maintained at vint1 through the first capacitor C1. The second input voltage vint2 is transmitted to the fourth node N4 through the switching transistor M4, and the voltage of the fourth node N4 is vint2. This phase can improve the short-term image retention problem of light-emitting diode OLEDs.

[0045] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the operation of the OLED pixel circuit during the preparation stage according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown below.

[0049] During this stage, the voltages at each node are shown in the table below:

[0050] During the compensation phase, due to the capacitance characteristics of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 (the voltage across the capacitor will not change abruptly), the voltage of the first node N1 is coupled to ELVDD+Vth, and the driving transistor M3 is turned on. Here, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M3. The second terminal of the switching transistor M5 is connected to the second node N2. In this compensation phase, the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M3 is compensated.

[0052] During this stage, the voltages at each node are shown in the table below:

[0053] During the write phase, the data voltage vdata is transmitted to the third node N3 through the switch M2, and the voltage of the first node N1 becomes ELVDD+Vth+(vdata-vint1)*[C1 / (C1+C2)], where ELVDD is the supply voltage, Vth is the threshold voltage of the driving transistor M3, vdata is the data voltage corresponding to the grayscale data, vint1 is the first input voltage, C1 is the first capacitor, and C2 is the second capacitor; the driving transistor M3 is turned off, and the switch M5 is turned off, thus realizing the writing of the data voltage vdata in this write phase.

[0054] Figure 8 This diagram illustrates the operation of an OLED pixel circuit during the light-emitting stage according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, during the light-emitting stage, when control signal E1 is low, switch M1 is turned on and switch M8 is turned off, and the supply voltage ELVDD is transmitted to the second node N2 through switch M1; when control signal E2 is low, switch M7 is turned on, and the second terminal of switch M5 is connected to the fourth node N4; when control signal T1 is high, switch M4 is turned off; when drive signal T2 is low, switch M5 is turned off; when control signal T3 is high, switch M6 is turned off; when control signal T4 is high, switch M2 is turned off.

[0055] During this stage, the voltages at each node are shown in the table below:

[0056] During this light-emitting stage, driving transistor M3 is turned on. The supply voltage ELVDD is connected to the positive terminal of the LED (OLED) through switching transistor M1, driving transistor M3, and switching transistor M7.
