[0045] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0046] Based on the content recorded in the background art, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a pixel circuit in the prior art. If the driving transistor T3 is in the same bias state for a long time, its threshold is likely to drift, which affects the generated driving current and further affects the light-emitting effect of the display panel. To solve this technical problem, in the prior art, by controlling
[0047] the transistor T5 in
[0048] receives different signals in different working stages of the pixel circuit, so as to control the driving transistor T3, and further weaken the problem of threshold drift of the driving transistor T3, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.
[0049] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0050] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels 11. To achieve full-color display of the display panel, optionally, the plurality of pixels 11 may include pixels for emitting green light, pixels for emitting blue light, and pixels for emitting red light.
[0051] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pixel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The pixel includes: a light-emitting element Q, and a pixel circuit 12 electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q. The pixel circuit 12 includes a driving transistor T3, a data writing transistor T2, a threshold compensation transistor T4, a first reset transistor T8, a bias transistor T5, and a light-emitting control module 13.
[0052] As Figure 3 shown, the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first end of the driving transistor T3.
[0053] The threshold compensation transistor T4 is connected in series between the gate of the driving transistor T3 and the second end of the driving transistor T3, and is used to detect and self-compensate the deviation of the threshold voltage of the driving transistor T3.
[0054] The first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second end of the driving transistor T3.
[0055] The bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second end of the driving transistor T3.
[0056] The light-emitting control module 13 is connected in series with the driving transistor T3 and the light-emitting element Q respectively, and is used to control whether the driving current flows through the light-emitting element Q.
[0057] The transistor type of the data writing transistor T2 is the same as that of the first reset transistor T8.
[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data writing transistor T2 writes a data signal V data to the driving transistor T3, and the driving transistor T3 generates a driving current according to the data signal V data , and the light-emitting control module 13 controls whether the driving current flows through the light-emitting element Q, thereby controlling the display state of the light-emitting element Q.
[0059] AsFigure 3 As shown, in the pixel circuit 12, the bias transistor T5 is used to bias the second end of the driving transistor T3 to solve the problem of threshold drift of the driving transistor T3. The gate of the driving transistor T3 is reset by the first reset transistor T8. That is to say, at this time, the bias transistor T5 in the pixel circuit 12 only needs to receive a signal that can bias the second end of the driving transistor T3. The signal for biasing the second end of the driving transistor T3 can be a fixed signal. Then, there is no need to set up an independent shift register circuit to provide this bias signal to the bias transistor T5. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixed signal is taken as the high-level signal DVH existing in the display panel as an example for illustration, and this high-level signal is a signal with a constant voltage.
[0060] Furthermore, the transistor type of the data writing transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 12 is the same as that of the first reset transistor T8. For example, if both the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 are P-type transistors, then the enable level for controlling the conduction of the data writing transistor T2 and the enable level for controlling the conduction of the first reset transistor T8 are both low levels. Or, if both the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 are N-type transistors, then the enable level for controlling the conduction of the data writing transistor T2 and the enable level for controlling the conduction of the first reset transistor T8 are both high levels. The first reset transistor T8 and the data writing transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 12 are turned on in a time-sharing manner. The signals provided by two adjacent stages of shift registers in the same group of shift register circuits can be used to control the first reset transistor T8 and the data writing transistor T2 respectively. Obviously, the control of the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 can be achieved simultaneously through a group of shift register circuits, thereby reducing the number of shift register circuits, realizing the narrow bezel design of the display panel, and ensuring the performance of the driving transistor T3, and further ensuring the display effect of the display panel.
[0061] Figure 4 Another structural schematic diagram of a pixel provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 4 as shown
[0062] The gate of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n); the gate of the first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1).
[0063] For pixel circuits 12 located in adjacent rows, the signal of the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) electrically connected to the gate of the first reset transistor T8 of the pixel circuit 12 located in the current row (e.g., the nth row) is the same as the signal of the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2 of the pixel circuit 12 located in the previous row (e.g., the (n - 1)th row).
[0064] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the gate of the data writing transistor T2 is electrically connected to the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n), and the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n) is used to output a first control signal for controlling the data writing transistor T2. The first control signal is a pulse signal, and the effective pulse of the first control signal controls the data writing transistor T2 to be in an on state to write the data signal V data to the first end (the second node N2) of the driving transistor T3; the ineffective pulse of the first control signal controls the data writing transistor T2 to be in an off state, that is, under the control of the first control signal, the data writing transistor T2 provides the data signal V data to the first end of the driving transistor T3.
[0065] It should be noted that the data writing transistor T2 cooperates with the threshold compensation transistor T4 to write the data signal V data to the gate of the driving transistor T3. At this time, both the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are in an on state.
[0066] The gate of the first reset transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1), and the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) is used to output a second control signal for controlling the first reset transistor T8. The second control signal is a pulse signal, and the effective pulse of the second control signal controls the first reset transistor T8 to be in an on state to provide a reference voltage to the second end of the driving transistor T3; the ineffective pulse of the second control signal controls the first reset transistor T8 to be in an off state.
[0067] It should be noted that the first reset transistor T8 cooperates with the threshold compensation transistor T4 to reset the gate of the driving transistor T3. At this time, both the first reset transistor T8 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are in an on state.
[0068] The display panel includes a shift register circuit. A shift register circuit includes multiple stages of shift registers arranged in cascade. Each stage of the shift register is correspondingly arranged with a row of pixel circuits. For example, the nth stage of the shift register provides a control signal for the nth row of pixel circuits. The signal provided by the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) electrically connected to the gate of the first reset transistor T8 in the pixel circuit 12 can be provided by the (n - 1)th stage of the cascade shift register, that is, borrowing the control signal provided by the shift register corresponding to the (n - 1)th row of pixel circuits. The signal provided by the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n) electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2 can be provided by the nth stage of the cascade shift register. And the transistor type of the data writing transistor T2 in the pixel circuit 12 is the same as that of the first reset transistor T8. The signal provided by the second scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) electrically connected to the gate of the first reset transistor T8 in the nth row of pixel circuits, and the signal provided by the first scan signal terminal SC_P(n - 1) electrically connected to the gate of the data writing transistor T2 in the (n - 1)th row of pixel circuits can be provided by the same stage of the shift register (such as the (n - 1)th stage). That is to say, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 in the pixel circuit can be provided with control signals by the same shift register circuit. That is to say, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention reduces the number of shift register circuits in the border area of the display panel by improving the pixel circuit 12, so as to achieve the narrow border design of the display panel.
[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1; the pixel circuit 12 further includes a second reset transistor T7. The first end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reference voltage terminal Vref2. The second end of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q, and the two are electrically connected at the fourth node N4. The gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2. The signals provided by the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 and the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 connected to the same pixel circuit 12 are the same. For example, the same scan signal line can be used to provide signals to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 and the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 respectively.
[0070] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1, and the gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2. The third scan signal terminal SC_P1 for outputting a signal to control the bias transistor T5 and the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 for outputting a signal to control the second reset transistor T7 are both third control signals. The third control signal is a pulse signal. The effective pulse of the third control signal controls the bias transistor T5 to be in an on state to bias the second terminal of the driving transistor T3, and controls the second reset transistor T7 to be in an on state to reset the anode of the light-emitting element Q. The ineffective pulse of the third control signal controls the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7 to be in an off state.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7 use the same signal to control whether they are in an on state or an off state. The same stage of the shift register in the same shift register circuit can be used to provide control signals for the bias transistor T5 and the second reset transistor T7, thereby reducing the number of shift register circuits configured for each transistor.
[0072] Figure 5 Another structural schematic diagram of a pixel provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 5 As shown, the gate of the bias transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third scan signal terminal SC_P1. The pixel circuit 12 further includes a second reset transistor T7. The first terminal of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second reference voltage terminal Vref2. The second terminal of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q. The gate of the second reset transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2.
[0073] For the pixel circuits in two adjacent groups, the signal of the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 to which the gate of the bias transistor T5 of the pixel circuit 12 in the current group is electrically connected is the same as the signal of the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 to which the gate of the second reset transistor T7 of the pixel circuit 12 in the previous group is electrically connected. Herein, one group includes pixel circuits 12 in two adjacent rows.
[0074] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the display panel is provided with pixel arrays 11 arranged in an array, each pixel 11 includes a light-emitting element Q and a pixel circuit 12 electrically connected to the light-emitting element Q. In each driving cycle, the pixel circuits 12 in each row can be driven by a line-by-line scanning method; as Figure 5As shown, to reduce the number of signal lines in the display panel, the third scan signal terminal SC_P1 in the pixel circuit 12 of the nth pixel row can be electrically connected to the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 of the pixel circuit 12 of the (n - 1)th pixel row; when the pixel circuit 12 of the (n - 1)th pixel row resets the anode of the light-emitting element Q, the biasing process of the second terminal of the driving transistor T3 in the pixel circuit 12 of the nth pixel row is simultaneously achieved, so as to improve the biasing effect on the driving transistor T3, solve the threshold drift problem of the driving transistor T3 to the greatest extent, improve the stability of the driving current generated by the driving transistor T3, and further improve the display effect of the display panel.
[0075] The shift register circuit of the display panel can be set such that one-level shift registers are correspondingly arranged with two rows of pixel circuits. For example, one-level shift registers respectively provide signals for the third scan signal terminals SC_P1 of the bias transistors in two adjacent rows of pixel circuits. Two rows of pixel circuits corresponding to the same-level shift register form a group. For pixel circuits located in two adjacent groups, the signal of the third scan signal terminal electrically connected to the gate of the bias transistor T5 in the current group (such as the nth row and the (n + 1)th row) of pixel circuits is the same as the signal of the fourth scan signal terminal SC_P2 electrically connected to the gate of the second reset transistor T7 in the previous group (such as the (n - 2)th row and the (n - 1)th row) of pixel circuits, and is provided by the same-level shift register.
[0076] The active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 may include metal oxide.
[0077] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention, the threshold compensation transistor T4 may adopt a metal oxide transistor with a low leakage current level, that is, the active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 adopts metal oxide. First, the gate of the driving transistor T3 can be maintained at a stable potential during the light-emitting stage, avoiding the problem of brightness reduction during the light-emitting stage caused by the leakage current of the threshold compensation transistor T4.
[0078] Optionally, the active layer of the threshold compensation transistor T4 may adopt indium gallium zinc oxide (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide, abbreviated as IGZO).
[0079] Among them, IGZO is composed of In 2 O 3 、Ga 2 O 3 and ZnO, and the band gap is about 3.5 eV, which is an N-type semiconductor material; that is, in the embodiments of the present invention, the threshold compensation transistor T4 is taken as an N-type transistor for illustration.
[0080] Based on the characteristic of low leakage current of the threshold compensation transistor T4, the data writing transistor T2 and the first reset transistor T8 can be LTPS (Low Temperature Poly Silicon) transistors, and it will not affect the stability of the data signal V written by the data writing transistor T2 data to the gate of the driving transistor T3, nor will it affect the reset effect of the first reset transistor T8 on resetting the gate of the driving transistor T3, and the leakage current problem of the first reset transistor T8 will not affect the gate potential of the driving transistor T3.
[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, the active layers of the transistors in the driving transistor T3, the data writing transistor T2, the bias transistor T5, the first reset transistor T8, the second reset transistor T7, and the light emitting control module 13 may include polycrystalline silicon materials.

The effective pulse of the light-emitting control signal controls the first light-emitting control transistor T1 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 to be in the on state. At this time, the drive current flows through the light-emitting element Q, and the light-emitting element Q emits light in response to the drive current. The invalid pulse of the light-emitting control signal controls the first light-emitting control transistor T1 and the second light-emitting control transistor T6 to be in the off state.

[0098] It should be noted that the data writing transistor T2 writes the data signal V data to the gate of the drive transistor T3. At this time, both the data writing transistor T2 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are in the on state. When the first reset transistor T8 resets the gate of the drive transistor T3, both the first reset transistor T8 and the threshold compensation transistor T4 are in the on state.
